Metering postponedFlat rate for water to continue for one more year

by John Arendt

It will be another year before Summerlanders pay metered rates for water.

Municipal administra-

tor Tom Day said an open house on Thursday even-ing was set up to get final comments about the bill-ing system changes.

For the better part of two years, Summerland council and municipal staff have been working to set up a metering sys-

tem for residential water use instead of the flat rate in place at present.

Numerous models have been considered and presented to the public, with changes suggested in each instance.

In addition to the bill-ing models, the munici-

pality has sent out mock bills to show property owners how much they would pay under the various models.

Now that the com-ments have been received from the latest open house on billing, Day said municipal staff can work

on a report to present to council in December.

If the billing structure is approved, it will take some time to implement the metered system.

“We have to change our entire billing system” Day said.

by John Arendt

Summerlanders con-cerned about the risks from pipelines and oil sands expansion gathered as Sunoka Beach on Sat-urday.

Around 60 people took part in the demonstra-tion.

Don Gayton, speaking to the participants, said he was pleased to see

people getting involved in a public issue.

“I think it’s an incred-ibly important thing to do,” he said. “The pipe-line is the biggest climate issue we will face in our lifetime.”

Gayton said oil-related discussions are difficult because the entire popu-lation depends on oil.

“Our petroleum drug of choice is becoming

more and more expen-sive,” he said. “With pet-roleum, we’re all junk-ies.”

The rally at noon was part of a national event, Defend Our Climate, Defend Our Commun-ities, to show the risk from pipelines and oil sands expansion.

Rallies were also held at offices of federal pol-iticians.

Erin Carlson, local organizer of the event, said the event was intended to show support for environmental protec-tion. “The people of this country are paying atten-tion,” she said “All we can do is keep trying.”

While a proposed pipe-line from the Alberta oil sands to the B.C. coast does not pass through Summerland, Carlson

said the pipeline still affects the community and the region.

“It affects us just as much as it’s going to affect everyone else,” she said.

She added that a recent poll from the Univer-sity of Montreal shows a majority of Canadians want the federal govern-ment to take stronger action on climate change.

Pipeline demonstration heldPipeline demonstrationAround 60 people gathered at Sunoka Beach and at the Summerland sign for a demonstration on Saturday in opposition to a proposed oil pipeline. Similar demonstrations were held across the province on Saturday.

Police RePoRt

A popular Sum-merland walking trail, closed because of erosion, will reopen to the public next year after repairs are made.

Don Darling, dir-ector of engineering and public works for the community, said a $67,500 grant has been received for repairs to the Summerland Cen-tennial Trail. The total cost of repairing the trail is $135,000.

A section of the trail which measures 20 to 30 metres in

length and three to five metres in height was affected by ero-sion. Darling said the slide was the result of natural erosion, although the erosion had been more severe in the last two years.

The trail will require stabilizing in order to make it safe and to prevent future slides.

While the funding

has been received, the municipality must first issue a request for proposals and then award the con-tract work on the trail.

The work will begin early in the new year and will be finished by spring. Because paving work is not required, the work can be done during the winter months.

Funds received for trail repair

Wine stolenOn Nov. 13, Summerland RCMP were

called after homemade wine was stolen from an open garage.

The theft occurred at a home on Prior Place.Youth arrested for trafficking

On Nov. 13 at 3:20 p.m., police arrested a 14-year-old boy who was attempting to sell marijuana at Summerland Secondary School.

The boy was charged with possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking.

School officials are also dealing with the youth.Racer crashes

A young motorist lost control of his vehicle while street racing on Sinclair Road on Fri-day.

The incident occurred at 11 a.m. One of two young motorists involved in the

race lost control and hit a fence.The 17-year-old Summerland boy has been

charged with failing to remain at the scene of an accident.

Parents of both boys have also been noti-fied.Driver impaired

An impaired motorist, travelling nearly twice the posted speed limit, spent the night in jail on Sunday.

The incident occurred on Nov. 17 at 12:35 a.m. when police observed a speeding motorist on Highway 97 near Jubilee Road East.

The driver was travelling at 118 kilometres an hour in a 60 km/h zone.

The 43-year-old Kelowna man showed signs of impairment and blew a Fail reading during a roadside screening test.

As a result, he was issued a 90-day driving prohibition and his vehicle was impounded for 30 days.

He also spent the night in cells in Penticton as a result.

Cpl. Bruce Haley of the Summerland RCMP detachment said police will have additional shifts in place during the holiday season to stop impaired drivers.

Up on the rooftopMike Windmill works on the roof of the Summerland Credit Union. The Credit Union is in the process of upgrading and expanding its building.

VICTORIA – My late father used to say that if he ever won the lottery, he would “farm until it’s all gone.”

It was 1960 when he and my mother pulled up stakes in the Okanagan, where their families had been for genera t ions , and moved north to carve a homestead out of a half section in the Peace River country.

So it’s a mainly northern perspective that I bring to the latest debate over B.C.’s agricultural land reserve.

A dialogue of the deaf has been going on for decades in B.C., where there are two sep-arate realities in agriculture.

The dominant voice is always from the southwest, from the Okanagan to the Fra-ser Valley to southern Vancou-ver Island.

This is not only B.C.’s most productive land, it’s also the place of greatest population and development pressure, where three million of the province’s four million residents live and more arrive every day.

In the rest of the prov-ince, except for pockets that are attractive for recreational development, farming is a tough row to hoe.

These days, people are more likely to be moving away.

In our urbanized society, the loudest voices tend to be the least informed, from backyard-chicken hipsters to what I call

“drive-by environmentalists,” who like to look out their car windows at green fields as they motor from their subdivisions to big-box stores.

The elderly Sikhs and Mex-ican guest workers bent over in the fields don’t need their lofty lectures on “food secur-ity.”

Voices from the rest of the province are seldom heard and quickly shouted down, as was the case at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver.  

Merritt councillor Mike Goetz pleaded for relief from an Agricultural Land Commis-sion that refuses to release a property that has “grown noth-ing but rocks and tumbleweeds for the last 100 years.”

Similar property next door was released, but not this par-cel, blocking a project for five years in a little town that could use the work and additional tax base.

Urban sprawl isn’t a big problem in Merritt, which like many small towns is trying to hang onto its population. 

Spallumcheen councillor Ed Hanoski described the situa-tion beyond the towns, the real rural B.C. He proposed easing the restrictions on building a second home on farm proper-ties.

Currently, farmers can put a mobile home on their property for an elderly or infirm relative, but nothing with a permanent foundation.

Once that relative moves or passes away, the home is sup-posed to be removed.

Hanoski said a sewage sys-tem for such a residence costs around $12,000.

Add the temporary foun-dation, skirting, well hookup, power, landscaping, drive-way, and a mobile home that will lose its value if it has to be moved, and the property owner takes a loss of $150,000 or more.

That’s why the removal rule is routinely ignored in rural B.C., Hanoski said.

These second homes are the only rental stock there is, providing modest income for marginal farms, and should be allowed permanent founda-tions.

Motion defeated, after a scolding from a Sunshine Coast delegate about people lusting to build mansions on farmland.

I asked Bill Bennett, the cabinet minister in charge of the latest agricultural land review, about a rumoured proposal to split the province into two zones with different rules.

He declined to comment, but described the case of Fort Steele Farms, the East Kootenay com-munity’s only market garden that almost closed because the next generation was initially refused permission for a second home.

The two zones approach deserves serious considera-tion.

SUMMERLAND REVIEWA PART OF THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1908 WWW.SUMMERLANDREVIEW.COM

On Saturday, demonstrators across the province, including some in Summerland, spoke out against the proposed oil pipeline.

W h a t e v e r one thinks of the pipeline proposal, the d emon s t r a -tors have some con-cerns which deserve to be addressed.

Unfortunately, the dialogue needed on this issue is not taking place.

This is not an issue which is as simple as being for or against a proposed pipeline. Concerns from all sides need to be raised and considered seriously.

culls

The funding has been received for repairs to one of Summer-land’s walking trails.

The work will not only help to make the trail safer. It will also help to prevent future slides in the area.

The total cost of the project is estimated at $135,000.

While such costs add to the total price of maintaining the municipality, the improvements cannot be ignored.

ourpickWaiting for

water billsThe ongoing quest

to come up with a per-fect water metering system means it will be more than a year before the commun-ity abandons its present flat rate billing.

Over the past several years, municipal staff and council have revisited the issue of bill-ing time and again.

Many models have been considered and there have been plenty of open houses to show the public how these billing options would affect them.

The effort to develop the best possible billing model is commendable, but it is also time-consuming.

We can understand that a metering system will be complicated in Summerland. Some residential properties are on huge lots and require plenty of irrigation in summer. Others require little or no additional water.

Water use is a complex issue and a simple billing structure will not be fair to all users.

Finding a workable model has been a more difficult task than any have imagined.

There have been numer-ous open houses and oppor-tunities for public input.

Plenty of effort has been made in order to arrive at the billing model which is now under consideration.

Despite the best efforts and most thorough plans, it is not possible to satisfy everyone about the billing system.

The transition to a metered system instead of a flat rate for water is significant, but it is also necessary.

Once Summerlanders adjust to a metered system, it will be a small matter to make slight adjustments to the cal-culations.

We can understand the reluctance about introducing the metered bills during the late spring or summer, when consumption is high.

However, postponing the metering system until the beginning of 2015 seems like a lengthy delay.

Everyone Welcome

Dear Editor:In the article

Spending criticized in the Nov. 14 Summer-

land Review, Mayor Perrino acknow-ledged that the city is finding it difficult to

control expenses, in part, because of the constant demands of public service unions.  

Her solution is what all politicians speak everywhere: “we have to do more

to get growth.”Maybe it will come,

maybe not. The near future almost guaran-

tees it will be closer to the not side.  

What is left unsaid is the elephant in the room. The municipal-ity needs to be able to control its labour costs.

It can defer cap-ital spending — not popular but I am deferring that 55-inch TV at my house. This will be a huge and bitter fight. But not doing anything is like the fox guarding the chicken coop. It is only a matter of time before the fox con-sumes every chicken.

Until local polit-icians can control their

own costs you do not have a city. What you have is a cartel of pub-lic service unions and monopolies using the local government as their private bagman.

Just for fun, do you think a replacement Summerland school system outside of the reach of the B.C. Teachers’ Union, funded by the local taxpayers, would not be a competitive advantage to get the growth Mayor Per-rino would like?

The old ways are not sustainable.

The early years

A good place to startIn 1971 Summerland got its first museum—in the form of a small brick building attached to the old arena beside the bad-minton hall. It didn’t take long for Summerland’s history to outgrow that space. November 26th has been designated as Canadian Museums Day so we invite you to visit us, take a good look at our facility and help us find a way to meet the growing needs of our community. We will be open on Tuesday, Nov. 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. as well as our regular days, Wednesday through Saturday from 1 to 4.  We are proud to be the keepers of Summerland’s heritage, and since you are part of that heritage, why not come and see what we’re doing.

Municipality must control labour costs

Dear Editor:I want to thank

the women and men who kept our newest streets, roundabouts and flower beds  in such good condition, spring, summer and

fall. It was a real pleas-

ure to walk and drive down them.

Keep up the good work.

Continued from Page 1Rather than intro-

duce the metered billing in late spring or early summer, Day said the muni-cipality plans to wait until January of 2015.

By starting at the beginning of the year, the billing would be in place outside of the irrigation season, when water bills are small.

The switch from a flat rate to a metered system has been a long process.

Day said the change is more dif-ficult than it first appears.

“It’s a complex problem. You can’t get a simple solu-tion,” he said.

The complexity comes because resi-dential properties have varying lot sizes and varying water demands.

Agricultural prop-erties are not affected by the billing chan-ges.

Mayor Janice Perrino said coun-cil members want to have the system working before

introducing the meters.

“The one thing we’ve said is we’ve got to do it right,” she said.

A t p re s e n t , P e r -rino said there are s e v e r a l problems about the metering which must be addressed.

One of these is finding leaks within the water system.

Another is deter-mining how to set up the meters for condominium units. There are questions about whether to have one meter in a multi-family build-ing or one meter for each residential unit.

Some residents who have already received the meters have complained that they are not func-tioning properly.

“It’s one of the most complicated issues our commun-ity has ever had,” Perrino said of the metering.

The upcoming Fes-tival of Lights is one of the cultural attrib-utes of our commun-ity that was men-tioned many times at the Conversation Cafe held in Septem-ber.  

For culture is more than just the visible signs of art (paintings, murals, sculptures, etc), but includes those activ-ities that reinforce a sense of place and community.  

Friday, Nov. 29 will be the 26th anniversary of Sum-merland’s Festival of Lights and this event, has become synonymous as the official start to the holiday season around the Okanag-an Valley.  

Light Up, as it is often called, is a won-derful opportunity for Summerlanders to celebrate and meet up with friends.

It is also the per-fect time to check out local art in time for Christmas.

The   Summerland Pleasure Painters will again be holding a show and sale begin-ning on Friday at 10 a.m. and continuing on Saturday  from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.  

So drop by 10122 Main St. to check out their various paint-ings and unique Christmas gifts.

And at the other end of Main Street, after you pass (and stop to observe) the ice sculptures, you will find Seasons Sparkles — The 12 Gifts of Christmas Sale at the Summer-land Art Gallery.   

Seasons Sparkles will feature paint-ings, fibre art, pot-tery, jewellery, cards, home decor, original hand made gift items and more.

Drop in and warm up on Light Up Night with a cup of free hot apple cider.  

There will also be a Children’s Activity Table on Friday night.

Speaking of kids, some of the great attractions of the Fes-tival of Lights are the different activities located   throughout downtown along Main Street and Vic-toria Road for chil-dren.  

This year there is an additional venue on Henry Ave as Summerland United Church offers various activities for kids as well as a spot to grab a bite to eat.   

And for mothers who need a moment of quiet, they will have a restful respite area.

The theme for this year’s Festival of Lights is Carnival.  

There will be trad-itional children’s games, street per-formers, and food from around the world, something for

the entire family.  So join the cele-

bration, kick-off the Christmas season, enjoy the fireworks and participate in a festival that adds to the joie de vivre of Summerland.

Fall Is Upon Us!

It looks like we have turned the corner into Fall. We have enjoyed a very nice September.

While not everyone is a snow fanatic, we all enjoy the Okanagan for having a little taste of winter without the prairie-like temperatures. No matter what outdoor activity you enjoy, the fall and winter season is a time when everyone should take extra precautions when driving or traveling.

Arriving safely is far more important than getting there quickly. Soon the roads are going to be getting icy and snow covered, so slow down and take that little extra time that will insure your safe arrival. If you are going to enjoy more spirited beverages this fall and winter, please take advantage of Designated Drivers and Taxis. We will all be better off for it.

Auxiliary continues tradition of serviceSummerland branch was Canada’s first

by Carla McLeodSpecial to the

Review

The Ladies Aux-iliary of Branch 22 of the Royal Can-adian Legion has just concluded another monthly meeting. Their priority has always been to assist the branch in their work.

They received their charter on March 2, 1927 and were the first Aux-iliary to be formed in Canada.

Pat Smith has been a member for 52 years. She explained how catering has been one of the Aux-iliary’s main sources of income over the years.

One of the first events they catered was a skating carni-val at Charlie Whar-ton’s rink (now part

of Memorial Park). Today the auxiliary

members cater wed-dings, anniversaries and funeral teas.

Other successful fundraisers are pie night, with pieces of pie and other des-serts being sold every second Friday of the month, during the branch’s baron of beef night and the pancake breakfast held the first Satur-day of every month.

Smith said one of the most worthwhile projects these ladies have ever done has been the purchasing and placement of metal crosses on the local graves of vet-erans, whose families request it and give a donation.

Close to 400 cross-es have been placed thus far.

The ladies also put a poppy on each cross for Remem-brance Day, a daffodil for Easter and help light candles at each

of these graves for VE day.

Smith says of her years of service,

“I’ve enjoyed the work.”

Doreen Bargholz has looked after the 50/50 draw for 24 years.

Drawn at the Branch every Satur-day, it funds special donations to many different foundations such as the Transi-tion House, Women in Need, Hospice and the local food bank. Three bursaries are also given out to Summerland gradu-ates each year from the proceeds.

“I feel good about it because we are helping someone else,” she said.

Elsie Antonovitch has been waiting tables, washing dish-es, selling tickets, baking and marching for 52 years.

“I’ve enjoyed it and have found it very rewarding,” she

said. At one time a per-

son had to be related to a veteran to join the Auxiliary.

That is no longer the case.

“I did not have anyone in my family who was involved in the wars, but I’ve always had respect for the veterans and what they’ve done for us,” said First Vice President Joyce Wood.

The Auxiliary is always in need of new members. Presi-dent Julia Law said,

“Our membership is getting older and we can’t do as much as we use to do. We really do need some young blood.”

This past week-end I participated alongside a group of citizens from the community of Mer-ritt and surround-ing areas as part of a search and rescue effort, looking for a missing local resident at Stump Lake Ranch.

Sadly, we were not successful in our efforts, but it is heart-ening that so many local citizens came out and helped in the effort to find a fellow community member.

I would also like to take a moment to thank the many volunteers who are involved in search and rescue organ-izations in our local communities throughout Okanag-an-Coquihalla.

This challenging and highly valued service from so many volunteers is import-ant for those who may be missing a loved one and is very community minded.

The House of Commons has again resumed session this week after a brief five day recess.

We will continue discussions on Gov-

ernment Bills C-2 “Respect for Com-munities Act” and Bill C-3 “Safeguard-ing Canada’s Seas & Skies Act”.

There will also be a number of Private Member`s Bills up for debate this week, including Bills C-428, “Indian Act Amend-ment and Replace-ment Act”, Bill C-523 “Mandatory Disclo-sure of Drug Shortages Act”, Bill C-520 “Sup-porting Non-Partisan Agents of Parliament Act” and Bill C-461 “CBC and Public Ser-vice Disclosure and Transparency Act.”

If you would like further information on these or any other bill before the House of Commons do not

hesitate to contact me at your conven-ience. Also occurring this week is a vote on the opposition day motion from the NDP that was introduced last week.

The motion sug-gests that the Key-stone XL pipeline is not in Canada’s best interest. This has been an interesting debate as both our govern-ment and the federal Liberals are support-ive of the Keystone XL project that the NDP has been active-ly opposing for some time.

On a related theme, this past weekend there was also an effort to organize and demonstrate against the Northern Gate-way pipeline in front of my Penticton office.

As I was in Merritt and could not attend this gathering, I feel it is important to recog-nize that a number of citizens took the time to speak out against this particular pipe-line project.

I also hear from a number of citizens who are strongly sup-portive of pipelines in general or in some cases supportive of certain pipeline pro-jects but opposed to others.

This is certainly an area that I welcome further input from citizens on. While some have expressed opposition to pipe-lines, very few have proposed alternatives that do not include increased rail or truck transport that also carry risk.

Although the House of Commons is now in session until mid-December, if you have a comment, con-cern or question I am available by phone in the late afternoon and early evening here in B.C. while I am in Ottawa.

I can be reached via email [email protected] or at 1-800-665-8711.

Dan Albas is the MP for Okanagan Coquihalla.

As the holiday shopping season begins, the Sum-merland Chamber of Commerce urges Summerlanders to look to local busi-

nesses.Arlene Fenrich,

president of the chamber, said local shopping will help the community.

“Shopping local is

best for the economy in every way,” she said.

“It provides local jobs and returns more money to our local economy than

buying at chain stores.”

She added that it is also up to the retail-ers to attract custom-ers to the commun-ity.

“We can’t use guilt as a motivator to entice people to shop locally,” she said.

“We must be able to offer them some-thing different than

a shop in Penticton or a big box store in Westbank. Our product offerings must continue to be unique and our rela-tionships with our

c u s t o m -ers per-sonal.”

T h e a n n u a l F e s t i v a l of Lights on Fri-day, Nov. 29, trad-itionally m a r k s the start of holiday shopping in Sum-merland.

Chamber encourages shopping locally

Team Kripps earns three medalsSummerland athlete wins at recent North American Cup competitions

International Bob-sleigh competition kicked off this past weekend at the Can-adian Olympic Park in Calgary with a double header North America Cup event.

The North Amer-ica Cup circuit is the development level competition just below the World Cup series.

In a strategic move Team Can-ada coaches elected to have Canada #3 (Team Kripps) com-pete in this season’s

opener rather than have them accom-pany Canada #1 and #2 teams to Sochi, Russia for the official Olympic 2 week pre-season training. The goal is for Canada #3 to have some extra valuable race experi-ence and to hopefully garner some import-ant points in their quest for an Olympic slot.

A first place finish in a NAC or a Europa Cup event is equiva-lent in points  to a 13th place finish in a World Cup event.

Canada #3 will be vying with Germany #3, Russia #3 and USA #3 for Olympic qualification.

Other countries have used similar strategies.

Russia sent all three World Cup teams to this North America Cup circuit event, and USA sent both its #2 and #3 teams.

Suddenly this sea-son opening North America Cup circuit event had turned into a mini World Cup event, with several smaller countries also sending their World Cup teams.

First up came the two-man event.

Canada #3, with Justin Kripps and rookie brakeman Bryan Barnett in his first ever internation-

al race, impressed with the fastest start times, but a slight driving error in the second heat cost them a couple of a hun-dredths of a second and they slipped from third to fifth place out of a field of 32 teams.

USA #2, Russia #1,  USA#3 and Russia#2 finished in the top four spots.

In the second of the two-man events, Kripps paired up with brakeman Tim Randall.

Again they impressed with top start times and this time Kripps held on to secure the bronze medal.

In the four-man events the team of Kripps, Randall, James McNaughton and Barnett, who had never competed together before, con-sistently pulled out top start times and in the final heat of the weekend delivered the fastest start time of the whole compe-

tition, pushing out Russia #1, the  reign-ing four-man world champions. Kripps rose to the occasion, drove four runs and the team finished with two silver med-als, with only Russia #1 ahead of them in both events.

After the gruelling schedule of four big

races in three days, the team will have a couple of rest days, then will be back on the ice preparing for the World Cup open-er which will also be held in Calgary Nov. 28 to 30.

Complete race results can be found at    www.bobsleigh-canada.ca.

The Summerland Bantam House Jets had a strong perform-ance at a tournament in Grand Forks on the weekend.

On Friday evening, Summerland set the pace against Grand Forks for a 4-2 win.

The Bantams played Nakusp and Kelowna Saturday

winning both games. West Kelowna fell

to Summerland on Sunday morning, then the Bantams met Grand Forks for the final Sunday after-noon when Summer-land won 3-1 to bring home the trophy.

MVPs were Brett Wilson, Gage McK-elvie, Remy Houde,

Kade Kozak and Ste-ven Sauer. The tour-nament trophy will proudly be displayed in the Summerland arena lobby.

The players and managers thanked coaches Gregg Wil-son, Tim Keilty and John Trewhitt for a fantastic run of games at the tournament.

Bantam House Jets dominate at tourney
