WHAT’S INSIDE:

MP hopefuls vow to listen to needs and concerns of constituents

John Arendt

Candidates in the Oct. 19 federal elec-

tion presented their platforms and prom-ised to work with other federal polit-icians and other lev-els of government to represent the needs of the riding.

The four candi-dates in the riding of Central Okanagan-

Similkameen-Nicola spoke at a forum at Centre Stage theatre in Summerland on Monday evening.

The forum was organized by the Summerland Cham-ber of Commerce and the Summerland Review.

Questions were submitted in advance and were selected to present a cross-sec-tion of the concerns presented.

Green Party can-didate Robert Mella-lieu said the role of a Member of Parlia-ment is to represent

the constituents.“That has been

lost over the years,” he said, mentioning the practice of par-ties directing to their members how to vote on certain issues in the House of Com-mons.

“In the Green Party,

we’re not going to whip the votes,” he said.

Angelique Wood, the New Democratic Party candidate, said she would listen to the constituents through-out the new large and diverse riding.

After years of wait-ing, those who lob-bied for a new library in Summerland have finally seen their hopes and dreams come to fruition.

The Okanagan Regional Library Board and Staff and the Friends of the Summerland Library Society, held their opening celebration and ribbon cutting for the new Summer-land Library on Sat-urday morning.

The new library branch, at 9355 Main St. in Summerland is more than twice the size of the previous library space, featur-ing meeting space and study rooms, dedicated space for children and teens, and an outdoor ter-race.

The Okanagan Regional Library paid the capital costs of approximately $4.5 million to build the structure and owns the building.

When the doors were opened, close to 200 people flooded into the open, bright, spacious new build-ing.

In her opening words to the crowd,

Stephanie Hall, chief executive offi-cer of the Okanagan Regional Library

thanked the library and the board of dir-ectors for funding

the con-struction of the b u i l d -ing.

“They are fund-ing a p l a c e for com-m u n i t y to gather, for lit-

erature and ideas to be freely shared,” she said.

“The public library is a place where

regardless of your economic back-ground or social status you are wel-come to come and learn…it is truly the people’s university.”

She also thanked the municipal-ity, council and the people of Summer-land.

Dan Ashton, MLA for the riding of Penticton, brought greetings and con-gratulations from the provincial gov-ernment.

“Please enjoy this

gorgeous building and the wonderful staff you have and read lots!”

Mayor Peter Waterman acknow-ledged councils past and present and for-mer mayor Janice Perrino, for the part they played in work-ing towards a new library.

Playing what he called a critical role, he acknowledged the devotion and perse-verance of the Friends of the Library who have kept the idea of a new facility alive

for years.“They did not give

up although there were many frustrat-ing periods of uncer-tainty,” he said.

He thanked head librarian Sue Kline and her staff for pro-viding fantastic pro-grams and services despite severe con-straints over time.

He also expressed his appreciation to the ORL for crunch-ing the numbers and for seeing the task through to make the building a reality.

“I also have spe-cial personal thanks to the board for being extraordinar-ily patient as they graciously listened to a number of my passionate com-ments on behalf of the readers of Sum-merland to move this project forward,” he said.

Library board chair Catherine Lord thanked the build-ing team, Urban Arts Architecture and Tango Project Man-agement, the suppli-ers and trades people

and the library mem-bers.

Architect Shel-ley Craig said creat-ing the library had been one of the best experiences of her firm’s life.

She said the 15 months it had taken to get the building from concept design to opening had set a record.

Kline thanked her staff, referring to them as her team and a dedicated, deter-mined, conscientious bunch.

“I depend on them for their expertise, their sense of humour and their belief that literacy is life,” she said.

She introduced to the crowd, mem-bers of the Friends of the Summerland Library, explain-ing that they were a group of people who had declared their intention to help build a library, 15 years ago.

“We affectionately call them the fossils (FOSLS),” she said.

Anne Carter, sec-retary-treasurer of FOSLS, thanked the volunteers involved for their fundrais-ing efforts and the community for their donations.

After the speeches a donor wall was unveiled. It and a feature wall honoring the FOSLS were cre-ated by John Topham of Summerland.

“I’m impressed,” said Summerland resi-dent, Ruth Manning. “It is well laid out.”

“Fifteen years in the making is a long time,” said resident Ron Johnson. “It’s very nice. It’s positive for the town.”

Federal candidatesThe four federal candidates in the riding of Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola spoke at a candidate forum at Centre Stage Theatre on Monday evening. The forum was hosted by the Summerland Chamber of Commerce and the Summerland Review. From left are Green Party candidate Robert Mellalieu, New Democratic Party candidate Angelique Wood, Liberal Party candidate Karley Scott and Conservative party candidate Dan Albas.

Continued from Page 1“My aim is to lis-

ten to the concerns of people on the ground,” she said, adding that she

would work for the greatest good for the greatest number of people.

Liberal Party can-didate Karley Scott said the role of an elected member is to represent the con-stituency, not the fed-eral government.

Scott also talked about the importance of evidence-based

decision making on important issues.

“It’s the con-stituency’s voice in Ottawa rather than Ottawa’s voice in the constituency,” she said of the role of a Member of Parlia-ment.

“I’m your voice and I would be a strong voice for you.”

C o n s e r v a t i v e Party candidate Dan Albas, who was elect-ed four years ago, promised to listen to those who come to him with concerns and to show up for votes in the House of Commons.

He said in the last term in Parliament, he was one of five members with per-fect attendance when votes were called.

“I believe people deserve to be heard,” he said. “I want to represent you in a way you can be proud of.”

Albas added that he would work with MPs from adjacent ridings, even if they are not of the same party affiliation.

“I have a track rec-ord of working with anyone,” he said. “I work on behalf of all of you.”

Mellalieu echoed this goal.

“The Green Party’s all about working with all sorts of dif-ferent people,” he said.

Wood said the members of the House of Commons have the same goal of serving their con-

stituents, despite their various party memberships.

“Sometimes the party system can feel divisive,” she said, “but we all try to serve our public.”

Scott talked about the importance of developing connec-tions with others.

“This comes down to relationship build-ing,” she said. “I’ve been relationship building all of my life.”

Other questions presented at the forum covered topics including taxes, small business needs, environmental con-cerns and Canada’s role internationally.

The federal elec-tion will be held on Monday, Oct. 19.

Candidates promise to listen to constituents

Police rePortHorses struck

On Oct. 4 at 8:45 p.m., police were called to a single vehicle accident on Dale Meadows Road near Gillard Avenue.

The driver of a pick-up truck struck two wild horses.

The truck was damaged and had to be towed from the scene.

One horse had to be destroyed as a result.There were no injuries to the driver.

Buildings enteredOn Monday morning, police were called

following a break and enter at the Summer-land Yacht Club.

While nothing was taken, buildings were entered.

Damage resulting from the break and enter are estimated at $1,000.

The incident occurred between Sunday evening at 6 p.m. and Monday morning at 8:45 a.m. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Summerland RCMP or Crime Stoppers.Parking complaints raised

Police have received complaints about motorists on Prairie Valley Road parking in areas designated as no parking zones.

These violations occur as parents are drop-ping off or picking up their children at the schools.

To address this traffic hazard, police say they will implement preventive measures and enforcement.

Summerland’s Cul-tural Plan Task Force will hold a series of workshops this fall.

The series of 14 workshops will each have a different theme, including the arts, downtown revitaliza-tion, multiculturalism and agriculture.

The first of the workshops, on agri-culture, was held on Wednesday, Oct. 7.

The next will be on multiculturalism. It will be held in the basement of the old library building on

Wharton Street on Thursday, Oct. 15 at 7 p.m.

“We want to hear what the different groups have to say

about our culture and the things they might like to see assist them in their work,” said John Bubb, a member of the task force.

Gene ResearchThe one constant in today's world is change. Research and Technology is constantly advancing what we know and can do. Society and the legal community face a very difficult battle in dealing with the very important issues which arise from scientific discovery and new technology.

One such area where the Law is struggling to keep up with these changes is genetic research. Because genetic research and the recent advances in that field have the actual power to change life as we know it, it is critical that Society as a whole and the Legal community insure that the proper safeguards are in place. The questions

raised in this area do not have easy answers and people's views on those questions are affected by many different influences. This makes it very difficult to provide a Legal framework for how the advances can be used and developed. One thing we do know however, is that the

advances and questions will keep coming.

In an ideal dem-ocracy, voters can choose the govern-ment they want. What we have in this year’s federal elec-tion is something a little different.

Much of the advertising and commentary during this campaign is not about choosing the best possible candi-date or party to form the next government. Instead, the message is to reject the worst options.

Attack ads, criti-cizing the record of the federal Conserva-tives or Prime Minis-ter Stephen Harper, or calling out state-ments made by Lib-eral leader Justin Tru-deau or New Demo-cratic Party leader Tom Mulcair, have defined this election campaign.

And for more than a year, an army of opponents of the Harper Conserva-tives have crusaded on social media, post-ing news articles, editorials and opin-ion pieces, begging Canadians to vote the

Tories out of office.At best, this nega-

tive campaigning is incomplete.

Canadians have more than two choices in any fed-eral election. At the dissolution of Par-liament, there were 159 Conservatives, 95 New Democrats, 36 Liberals, two Bloc Québécois members, two Greens and two Strength in Democ-racy members in the House of Commons. Four of the 308 seats were vacant.

Even in the riding of Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola, rejecting any one candidate still leaves three other choices.

Negative cam-paigns are not a suit-able way to make a choice, especially for a role as important as that of an elected official.

As voters, we are responsible for hiring someone to work on our behalf and as our advocate at the feder-al government level. We are the employ-ers; our Member of Parliament is our employee.

No reasonable

employer or board of directors would select an employee in this way.

It would be akin to telling an applicant, “I don’t like you, I don’t trust you and I don’t think you’re competent, but at least you’re not quite as bad as the others. You’re hired.”

I can’t think of any-one who would take a job with such an employer. This atti-

tude on the part of an employer or a board of directors would result in a terrible work environment.

If an employer or board ends up dis-satisfied with all candidates, another call for applicants would be issued or an executive search team would be hired to find someone suitable for the pos-ition.

Negative cam-paigning has become

the sad reality of elec-tion campaigns in Canada, at all levels of government.

We deserve better.At times, a can-

didate, a leader or a party deserves to be called out, for any number of reasons. There are times to reject bad govern-ment or bad leader-ship. But it can’t stop there.

Critics need to offer a better alterna-

tive. If one party’s

policy is lacking or potentially destruc-tive, then make sure to mention a party with a better plat-form.

If one leader or local candidate is not a wise choice, then suggest someone else who is better suited for the role.

In other words, tell us why one choice is best, not just why another is the worst.

It’s easy to criticize a bad option but it’s far more difficult to recommend a posi-tive alternative.

It’s easy to blast one’s political oppon-ents but presenting a workable alterna-tive requires a lot of thought and effort.

This extra work means voters don’t need to feel pressured to reject the worst choices. Instead, they can select the govern-ment they want.

This is how a dem-ocracy is supposed to work.

YOUR VIEWS

After years of working from a severe-ly undersized facility, the staff at the Summerland branch of the Okanagan Regional Library now have a new and larger building.

The new building, on Main Street, is more than twice the size of the former building on Wharton Street.

For those who have used the Wharton Street building, the need for the expan-sion had long been apparent.

The former building was crowded at the best of times and during special func-tions, the limited space became painfully obvious.

According to records kept by library staff, the branch counted more than 70,000 visits each year.

These visits extended far beyond avid readers signing out books for casual read-ing.

Users included members of book clubs and other organizations meeting in the facility, children in the Summer Reading Club as well as visitors and seasonal workers in need of Internet access.

Many people need and use the servi-ces of the library branch.

This volume of use indicates that the new building is a necessity, not a luxury for the community.

While the service of a library is need-ed, the branch also has the potential to bring economic benefits to Summerland’s downtown core.

Library users will now be just a few steps and no more than a couple of blocks from Summerland’s downtown businesses.

The Wharton Street building, while only a block off Main Street, felt more distant since the storefronts were not visible from that location.

In the years to come, the role of the library will continue to evolve and in time, the newly opened Main Street facility will no longer be adequate for Summerland’s growing needs.

A library is a facility which must grow with the community if it is to provide the level of service the people of Summerland require.

Fire engineSummerland’s 1961 International pumper truck had a capacity of 1,000 gallons and an output of 625 gallons per minute. In 1908 the equipment used by the Summerland Fire Brigade consisted of a man-drawn hose reel which didn’t really do much except to help keep the fire from spreading. As the town grew, so did the brigade and in 1944 with an ARP pumper, firemen’s protective clothing and two car-driven trailers to haul the hose, the West Summerland Volunteer Fire Protection Society was formed. In 1949 the town took over the Society, extended the fire protection area to include the entire muni-cipality and Summerland’s first fire truck was purchased. The addition of the shiny new truck in this photo in 1962 resulted in a brand new fire hall to house all of the equipment. Today the equipment includes three engines, one rescue, one water tender, one CAFS squad unit, one bush truck, two command vehicles, and one administration vehicle. Hopefully we’ve all learned something during Fire Prevention Week and the equipment won’t see a lot of use.

Dear Editor:On Sept. 20, Sum-

merland hosted two worthwhile events which, sadly, conflict-

ed with each other, the Test of Human-ity is a mountain bike race which raises funds for humanitar-

ian projects in Ethi-opia and the Terry Fox Run carries on Terry’s hope of rais-ing funds for cancer

research. One is a local event while the other’s date is sched-uled nationally.

Could the test’s

date not have been scheduled for a dif-ferent weekend?

Raja GuptaSummerland

Ride date should change

Dear Editor:Harper is not a Conserv-

ative, and the Conservative Party of Canada is not the party it was 10 years ago.

The party that evolved with the merger of the Canadian Alliance and the Progressive Conserva-tive party does not repre-sent Canadian democratic, social, and environmental values.

The newly minted party adopted a constitution that paved the way for Harp-er to transfer the nations’

Legislative powers into the Prime Minister’s office.

The Conservative Party is harbouring a leader and Prime Minister who regu-larly and openly demon-strates he has nothing but contempt for the people who elected him, and the institutions he has sworn to protect.

Using party discipline, Harper has crushed the democratic process in our federal Legislature.

He has effectively destroyed credibility in the

Senate, and has over the last eight years managed to turn the Prime Minister’s Office into a political con-trol centre.

Harper does not play by the rules, and having attained absolute power, he has abused that power to the maximum.

Proroguing Parliament and bundling legislation is now common practice.

Gutting Canada’s health care budget, while creating a ministry to spend $20 mil-lion on religion.

Signing dozens of trade agreements, while foreign investors are challenging our sovereignty, seeking billions of dollars in dam-ages for ‘infractions’.

For Harper, this election is nothing less than a des-perate and personal obses-sion to protect his ‘made in Canada’ dictator style of government.

On Oct. 19, we have to make sure that does not happen.

Harper has abused power

Dear Editor:Our new library is

lovely inside and out. It is a great addition and an improvement to Main Street.

But we were very disappointed to see, on Sunday, boys using bikes, scoot-ers and skateboards around the building.  

Bikes were on top of  the brown seating area in front, used to jump off and practice tricks.  

Also riders with their   bike tires on the wall of the library from   a standing

position   to do more tricks. 

The parking lot of the library and curb-ing should not be used either.    

Something should be done to stop   this practice.

Garbage was also left in the flower beds. Garbage cans should be placed   in front and rear  of the library.

I would like to suggest to the other stores in town.

Upgrade the look of  your buildings.    

The Tudor style

adopted years ago is outdated and must go.

Thank you to the library and to a couple of other build-ings who have not used the Tudor style.

Heritage buildings are an important part of the city and should be looked after, but not with the Tudor look.

Many residents think that the muni-cipality paid for all of the library.    

To the best of my knowledge, the library paid for most

of the new building. The Municipality

of Summerland gave a small portion of funds towards con-struction.    

To all the business-

es that have partici-pated in decorating for fall, thank you for this lovely display.

R. TaylorSummerland

Improvements are still necessary

son and Linda Beaven for presenting the idea and to Rotary for sponsoring  Harvest Days.

Q: My friend has recommended I start “oil pulling” to clean my teeth/gums. Is this a good idea? - John

A: Oil pulling has become quite popular. Oil pulling is where you vigorously swish a spoonful of coconut oil between your teeth for 20 minutes.

If you are willing to spend 20 minutes on oral hygiene you should be commended! This method works partly from the antioxidant properties of the oil and partly from the vigor of the swishing. So far, I have little scientific evidence to share on how effective it will be for you.

If you do decide to try it here are two suggestions:

1. Don’t swallow the oil, especially if you are at risk for heart disease.

2. Spit the oil in the garbage not the sink as it will clog it up. Before you start, inform your hygienist/dentist about your plans so they can determine if oil pulling would be right for you.

My view is that you could be very effective using a pH neutral rinse, Waterpik, and electric toothbrush in 20 minutes (or less)!

Looking back at health care spending trends

The federal budget document began with an ominous warn-ing about deep cuts. Social programs, jus-tice and corrections would be spared as much as possible, but no department would escape the knife.

The stark truth was revealed in a table of figures. Health care spending, the core of the Canadian state, was cut by 3.8 per cent in just the first year of the fiscal plan, as population and need continued to grow.

No, this is not from the Stephen Harper budget of April 2015, or any other in the last decade. It’s from the Jean Chretien budget of 1995, more than 20 years ago. That’s the last time anyone actually cut health care spending.

But wait, you may say. Didn’t I hear that Harper has slashed health care spending by $30 billion? Yes, you probably did hear the biggest, most brazen lie of this elec-tion campaign, either from the government unions that adver-tised it or the polit-icians who parrot it.

If health care really is everyone’s high-priority issue, as pollsters have long assured us, voters should at least know the facts.

After cutting prov-incial health and social services trans-fers for years to end the string of operat-ing deficits that began under Pierre Trudeau and continued under Brian Mulroney, Lib-eral finance minis-ter Paul Martin rose briefly to the top job.

In 2004, Martin

staged meetings with premiers, emerging with what was billed as “a fix for a gen-eration,” with federal health transfers to rise six per cent each year into the future.

The future for Martin’s government lasted only two years, as his minority was replaced with one led by Harper.

These galloping increases continued until the Conserva-tive majority of 2011, after which then-finance minister Jim Flaherty came to Vic-toria to inform prov-incial finance minis-ters of the new plan. (I was there, and the joke was that this was as far from Ottawa as Flaherty could get without leaving Can-ada.)

The six-per-cent increases, by that time triple inflation, would continue for another five years. Starting in 2017-18, increases would be tied to economic growth, with a min-imum hike of  three per cent, still well ahead of today’s infla-tion. That remains the Conservative plan today.

All provinces east of Saskatchewan pitched a fit. Mani-toba’s NDP finance minister termed

it “un-Canadian.” Lefties immedi-ately called it a cut, to which Flaherty replied that transfers to provinces would rise from $30 billion to $38 billion in 2018-19, and continue to grow after that.

In B.C., then-finance minis-ter Kevin Falcon praised the long-term approach, acknow-ledging that health spending was bal-looning to half of the provincial budget and had to be brought under con-trol as baby boomers start to retire. B.C. has largely accomplished that, with spending increases below three per cent and health care outcomes that continue to lead the country.

As the current elec-tion campaign turns into the home stretch, Statistics Canada has announced a milestone. For the first time in history, the number of sen-iors exceeds num-ber of children. This demographic shift is inexorable, predict-able and must be addressed by who-ever wins the Oct. 19 federal election.

NDP leader Thom-as Mulcair is on rec-ord that he will scrap the Conservative formula for growth-based increases that he pretends are cuts, returning to six per cent every year while balancing the budget. Little detail has been provided on how this would be done.

Liberal lead-er Justin Trudeau announced in Sur-rey last week that he will ante up an extra $3 billion over four years for health care, and “sit down with the provinces immediately” to renegotiate, a rerun of Paul Martin’s pol-itical theatre.

Summerland Review Thursday, October 8, 2015 N e w s www.summerlandreview.com 7

Medical oncologist cites studies showing health risks resulting from devices, towers, meters

Because of their concerns over the health hazards of radio frequency transmitters, mem-bers of Summerland Citizens for Safe Tech-nology are asking that they be allowed to opt out of having the digital meters in their homes.

On Wednesday evening, at a pres-entation organized by the Summerland group, Malcolm

Paterson, a medial oncologist, presented his concerns about the wireless meters.

He said there are health risks from wireless transmitters.

Devices include cellular phones, tab-let devices and laptop computers with wire-less network capabil-ity, wireless routers, cellular towers and electrical meters.

He added that the radiation levels from these devices today is roughly 3,000 times what it was in 1980.

“We are immersed in electro-smog, and it is increasing,” he said. “We are creat-ing a hyper-con-nected society. An entire generation has

grown up using cell phones.”

Health effects from wireless transmitters can show up slowly, 15 to 25 years after exposure. Those most at risk include devel-

oping fetuses, chil-dren, the elderly and those with chronic health problems and compromised immune systems.

However, Health Canada claims the regulations gov-erning radio fre-quency and electro-magnetic energy are adequate.

The standards, k n o w n as Safety Code 6, r e c o m -m e n d l i m i t s for safe h u m a n e x p o s -ure to radio fre-q u e n c y e l e c t ro -

magnetic energy.“The limits estab-

lished in Safety Code 6 incorporate large safety margins to provide a significant

level of protection for all Canadians, includ-ing those working near RF sources,” the guidelines state.

Paterson and the members of Summer-land Citizens for Safe Technology disagree with the Health Can-ada regulations.

In 2007, the cit-izens’ group was formed over con-cerns about a micro-wave cell tower on Little Giant’s Head Mountain in Sum-merland.

Since that time, group members have spoken out about wireless networks, smart meters and other sources of radio frequency transmis-sions.

Meter concerns presented

While the B.C. Wildfire Service has rescinded its camp-fire ban, the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen’s tem-porary ban on open fires remains in place.

The ban includes campfires and is in effect on lands con-tained within the regional district’s Fire Protection Areas. These areas include Anarchist Mountain, Kaleden, Keremeos,

Naramata, Okanagan Falls, Tulameen and Willowbrook Fire Area.

The reason for the ban include the cur-rent weather condi-tions and the fire risk.

All open fires are prohibited, including campfires and fires in portable wood-burn-ing fireplaces.

Stoves using gas, propane and bri-quettes are still allowed.

A Summerland businessman has received six months in jail for sexual exploitation involv-ing a minor.

Joshua James Rob-erts, 39, pleaded guilty to one count of sexual exploita-tion on March 23 in Penticton Provincial Court and was sen-tenced on Sept. 30.

The incidents spanning from Sept. 15, 2012 to Aug. 15, 2013 involved a per-son under 18 whose identity is protected by a routine publica-tion ban.

Roberts, a father of six, said nothing throughout the sen-tencing and showed little emotion after hearing the sen-tence. He hugged his mother and shook his father’s hand before being taken into cus-tody.

Ed Stacey, nation-al president of the Urban Bulldogs Against Kids Abuse association, who provide support to young victims and victim’s families, read a statement from the family of the vic-tim to the media out-side of the Penticton Courthouse Wednes-day.

The parents of the victim said in the statement they were grateful for the sup-port from the Sum-merland RCMP, the Okanagan Victim’s Assistance Society and the Urban Bull-dogs Against Kids Abuse.

The family said

in the s t a t e -m e n t t h e y w e r e p r o u d of their c h i l d f o r p e r s e -v e r i n g

through the ordeal and “exposing the sexual crimes of a prominent member of the community.”

The sentence is three months over the mandatory minimum of 90 days in jail for sexual exploitation. Defence counsel for Roberts, Tyrone Duerr suggested a sentence of 90 days to be served intermit-tently on weekends.

Prior to the charges coming to light, Judge Greg Koturbash said that Roberts had an “excellent reputation in the community.”

He noted that Rob-erts had helped with reading programs in the local school dis-trict and volunteered his time at local jun-ior hockey games.

He was also responsible for the hiring and training of over 200 young people.

Roberts was also ordered not to con-tact the victim and not to occupy a pos-ition of trust involv-ing a female under the age of 18.

He was also ordered to submit to the  Sex Offender Information Regis-tration Act which requires offenders to submit to the nation-al sex offender regis-try.

Roberts receives six-month sentence

S u m m e r l a n d ’ s mayor and council have met with Chief Jonathan Kruger and the Penticton Indian Band council to dis-

cuss issues of mutual concern.

The meeting took place on Sept. 14.

The wild horse problem, shared by

the municipality and the band, and the problems with gar-bage being dumped on band lands behind the Summerland

landfill were two of the subjects identified.

“This joint initia-tive is the start of a comprehensive con-sultation process on mutual concerns moving forward,” Mayor Peter Water-man said. “It is clear that by working together with our First Nations neigh-bours, the whole

southern region including Summer-land will gain trust in each other to be good neighbours that will result in friend-ships and economic benefits for both com-munities.”

On Oct. 2, Kruger led Summerland’s council on a tour of the band’s develop-ments.

The African Chil-dren’s Choir will per-form a mix of gospel songs and traditional African music during two performances in Summerland later this month.

Emily Gronow, tour leader with the choir, said the per-formances will also feature drumming, dancing and colour-ful costumes.

The choir consists of nine boys and nine girls, all between eight and 11 years of age.

They have been on tour since Febru-ary. During that time, they have performed in the United States and Canada. They will then perform in the United Kingdom.

The choir is part of Music for Life, an organization working in Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan, Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa.

Over the years, the organization has edu-cated more than 52,000 children and has affect-ed more than 100,000 people through its relief and develop-ment programs.

Gronow said the children in the choir have been enjoy-ing the experience of seeing other parts of the world. “This is the first time they have been away from home,” she said.

On Sunday, Oct. 25, the choir will perform at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 15244 Victoria Rd. N., beginning at 10 a.m.

A second con-cert will be held that evening at 7 p.m. at Summerland Baptist Church, 10318 Elliot St.

There is no admis-sion fee, but a free-will offering will be taken to support Afri-can Children’s Choir programs.

African children to sing

Two legendary British Columbia musicians will per-form in Summerland next month as part of their annual regional tour.

Valdy and Gary Fjellgaard, The Con-tenders, will perform during an eight-show tour of the Okanagan Valley.

Valdy, 70 and Fjell-gaard, 78, have both enjoyed lengthy solo careers. Valdy’s folk music dates to the early 1970s, while Fjellgaard, a country performer, has been performing since 1976.

The concert will feature solo tunes from each perform-er as well as songs they have recorded together as The Con-tenders.

In the past, their music has been ori-ginal compositions, but this year they will also include some

covers of works by other musicians.

“We’re doing songs we normally wouldn’t do, because we didn’t write them,” Fjellgaard said.

He added that he will also play the electric guitar dur-ing the concert this year. In the past, his music has featured an acoustic guitar.

The tour will also be an opportunity for the two musicians to release their newest album, Contenders Three: Off The Floor.

Fjellgaard said the songs were record-ed live in the stu-dio, without adding instruments or other sounds.

The concert will be at Centre Stage Theatre on Sunday, Nov. 1, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at Martin’s Flowers, 250-494-5432.

It’s Fall Wine Fes-tival time in the Oka-nagan.

For many people, the oenophiles out there, this is a chance to sample some of the new offerings from many of the local wineries and is a good opportunity for one last visit to a favourite vineyard or another.

It’s also a great chance to get out there and enjoy a little entertainment,

should the mood strike you.

As much as it might seem like a loose connection for an arts column, local wineries have long been support-ers of the arts and Fall Wine Festival is a great chance to take advantage of the nice weather one last time and enjoy a little bit of live music on a patio overlooking Summerland.

The wineries around town are some of the most

relaxing and enjoy-able spots to not only watch some great local talent, but from a performer’s per-spective, they make a great vista to look at while playing.

T h o r n h a v e n Estates Winery, who also offered a great summer music series, has music playing on their patio on Satur-day, Oct. 10 from 1 to 4 p.m., for instance. 

Fall Wine Festi-val is something of a farewell to the busy days of summer for many local wineries and is often a great chance for them to do something a little more exciting than they might normally do.

Along with offer-ing up a simple tast-ing newest vintages, as I mentioned, many local wineries are also going the extra distance to stand out from the rest by offering well thought out food pairings to help their wines shine. Some provide informative sessions to teach you about the different methods of wine making that are used here in the Okanagan.

You can also take advantage of the local

artists and artisans that Summerland’s local wineries support.

I’ve always loved taking time during wine tastings to take a look through the jewellery I’ve seen  in tasting rooms and have even gone back

to pick some up for my wife.

Not only that, but the paintings from local artists on the walls always serves as a great reminder of just how many people are inspired by the beauty of the

Okanagan Valley.  Fall Wine Festival

runs until Oct. 11.Douglas Paton is a

I have many things to be grateful for, my family, this fabulous fall weath-er we are having here in the Okanag-an, but this month I am especially grate-ful that the library will finally open at its new location on Main Street.

The new library has been anticipated by many of us for a long time.

Over the past months we have watched the new building take shape, the interior come together and recently, the furniture arrive.

I am grateful for the amazing volun-teers who took part in the Paperback Brigade to move 140 boxes of paperbacks to their new home across the street.

We are fortunate to have so many people who care about the Library enough to lit-erally line up along the sidewalk and pass boxes of books down the rows and across the street to our new location.

I am grateful for the people who come to the library every day to pick out a book, to read the paper, use the com-puter, or some just to say hello and bring us smiley face cook-ies and homemade baking.

We appreciate the friendly hellos as we unlock the door each morning and see the same faces wait-ing to come in and start their day at the Library.

I am grateful for the opportunity to work at the library with a dedicated group of women who have awesome senses of humour. It really is a great place to work.

We look forward to seeing new faces

at the library, people who we know haven’t been able to visit us due to their mobility restrictions who can now enter our street level build-ing and enjoy all the library has to offer.

We are especially excited to watch the teens hanging out in their new space, or doing homework sitting in the Diner Booth and the chil-dren in their sunny corner of the library looking at books while visiting with Ogopogo and his friends.

I hope everyone stops by the new branch over the next few weeks to have a look around.

There are many comfy seats looking out over Main Street where you can enjoy reading your books and newspapers, or perhaps you will prefer the south side of the building over-looking the garden terrace.

There will be many new books on display for you to check out, so come on down to the library, we look forward to welcom-ing you all to the new branch.

Dianne Broadbent is an assistant com-munity librarian at the Summerland Branch. Thankfully, her family will be creating an amazing dinner for her this weekend.

Library opening a time for gratitude

This fall at Sum-merland Baptist Church three cours-es will be held for people in the South Okanagan who are dealing with sep-

aration or divorce: DivorceCare, Single and Parenting, and DivorceCare for Kids.

These sessions help group mem-bers untangle their

many emotions and questions, and move toward rebuilding their lives.

On Sunday even-ings, beginning Oct. 18 and continuing

until Jan. 24, the church will provide a light supper for all participants at 4:30 p.m., after which, the three groups will separate for their

respective courses until 6:45 p.m..

The adult sessions begin with video seminar consisting of real-life case stud-ies and interviews

with top experts on divorce and recovery and single parenting and end with group discussion.

DivorceCare for Kids combines activ-ities, videos and personal stories by local people who themselves grew up in homes affected by divorce.

A new topic is addressed each week.

Please call Eunice at 250-494-3313 for more information or to register for any of these courses. Experi-ence the wisdom of experts and the sup-port and encourage-ment of friends who know what you are going through.

Junior B hockey players meet and greet IGA customers

The Summerland IGA held a fundrais-ing barbecue on Sat-urday afternoon.

Members of the Summerland Steam Junior B hockey team were on hand to help out and to meet and greet customers.

All the proceeds from the barbecue went to the Summer-land Food Bank and Community Resource Centre.

“It’s a good oppor-tunity for us to give back,” said Colin Powell, owner of the Summerland IGA store.

The store is a cor-porate sponsor of the hockey team.

Gregg Wilson, owner of the team, said the Steam are a community-based team.

“We like doing things for the com-munity because the community does things for us,” he said.

“It’s great for our players to learn com-munity involvement. It’s a life skill.”

The barbecue raised $460.

Survey results will provide information about region

John Arendt

Information gath-ered from a survey of the region will be used to identify needs in the South Okanagan and Simil-kameen, provide data for charities and non-profit organizations and aid in planning for the future.

The 2015 Vital Signs survey, organ-ized by the Com-munity Founda-

tion of the South Okanagan Similka-meen, received 1,502 responses from the region, including 158 identified from Sum-merland.

There were also 50 responses where the community was not identified.

The report was launched on Tuesday at the Shatford Cen-tre in Penticton.

Aaron McRann, executive direc-tor of the founda-tion, said the num-ber of responses this year was double the amount from the last

survey.Similar surveys

were conducted by community founda-tions in 22 commun-ities across Canada.

The survey meas-ures how people believe their com-munity is doing in 11 areas such as health and wellness, the environment and housing.

McRann said the information will be used when the foun-dation identifies grant requests from the area.

In addition, he said charities will use the

information when submitting appli-cations and grant requests, as well as for strategic plan-ning.

In the past, infor-mation in the survey was also available through Statistics Canada, since it was collected during the census.

Because the long form census is no longer mandatory, the information col-lected during the census is no longer as complete as in the past.

This year’s survey

also included a chal-lenge called Three Things You Can Do. Readers are asked to make a list of three actions they can do to make a difference in the 11 key areas of the report.

“We hope this report is an inspira-tion to the general public,” McRann said.

He said the foun-dation will hold focus groups in each community and will work on how to move forward now that the report has been received.

B.C.’s Asia trade will benefit from the Trans-Pacific Part-nership, the world’s largest free trade agreement, reached Monday after all-night discussions with 11 Pacific Rim countries, according to business and prov-incial government officials.

Jobs Minister Shir-ley Bond cautioned that legal work and ratification by the 12 countries involved still remains to be done, but the TPP removes barriers for B.C. producers of seafood, minerals, forest and farm products in coun-tries such as Japan, Malaysia and Viet-nam.

“Generally speak-ing, any time British Columbia can com-pete on a fair and level playing field, we’re going to do well,” said Bond, cit-

ing trade growth in cherries, blueberries and wood products.

Much of B.C.’s progress in lumber exports has been in China, which is not part of the TPP talks. B.C. averages $4.8 billion annually in forest products to TPP countries and $1.5 billion worth of pulp and paper, despite duties up to five per cent in Aus-tralia and New Zea-

land, up to 10 per cent in Japan and up to 40 per cent in Malaysia.

The B.C. Chamber of Commerce says fish and seafood are currently subject to 15 per cent duty in Japan and Malaysia, up to 34 per cent in Vietnam and up to five per cent in New Zealand. Beef, fresh and frozen vege-tables, fresh cherries and fresh and frozen blueberries also face tariffs in Asian coun-tries.

The tentative deal has emerged as a major issue in the federal election cam-paign.

Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper outlined a $4 billion “income guarantee program” for Canada’s protect-ed dairy and egg pro-ducers, to compen-sate farmers for lost income due to new foreign imports for 10 years after the TPP takes effect.

NDP leader Thom-as Mulcair blasted the

a g r e e -ment as a “sellout” of Can-a d i a n a u t o w o r k -ers and f a r m e r s that will also see

drug prices rise in Canada.

Mulcair said his party would not be bound by the agree-ment if it forms the new government on Oct. 19.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau said his party is pro-free trade, but will study the agreement and “take the responsible time to do what’s right for Canada.”

B.C. business likes Pacific trade deal

“Generally speaking, any time British Columbia can compete on a fair and level playing field, we’re going to do well.”

School district one of six participating in initiative

The Okanagan Skaha School District is one of six school districts in British Columbia participat-ing in WellAhead, a new philanthropic initiative of the J.W. McConnell Family Foundation.

The initiative aims

to improve child and youth mental health by integrating well-being into school communities.

“The fact that School District 67 was selected from 41 applicants across B.C. for this innovative project speaks highly to the quality of edu-cation that our schools are delivering,” said Wendy Hyer, super-intendent of schools

for the district. “We have a community that shares a strong passion for sup-porting the wellbeing of our children and youth and this unique opportunity for fur-ther collaboration with our community will most certainly result in a positive impact on the wellbe-ing of our youth.”

During October, students, parents,

teachers, principals, administrators and others in the com-munity will take part in “ideation” ses-sions: opportunities to brainstorm school-based approaches that positively affect how students feel. These can be small actions, new routines or everyday activities that can become part of a school’s set of daily practices.

“The changes Well-Ahead is looking for are those that schools can easily implement without investing major resources,” said Stephen Hud-dart, president and CEO of the J.W. McConnell Family Foundation.

“The initiative will help improve under-standing of how change happens in schools, and whether

everyday practices can be an effective means of improving social and emotional wellbeing.”

The public can also contribute ideas through an online public engagement platform, which will go live in November.

This process will supplement the idea-tion sessions and lead to the selection of new ideas. Starting

in 2016, WellAhead will support districts in the work of “proto-typing” — trying out and evaluating some of the proposed new ideas and practices to determine their impact and longer-term feasibility.

Jenny Mitchell is the community liaison for the school district. She can be reached at JMitchell@summer.com.

WellAhead to improve mental health

There are signs the flu season may hit B.C. early and hard and public health officials are warn-ing they expect the flu vaccine to again be less effective than they’d like.

The most danger-ous influenza type for vulnerable people is the H3N2 strain that was dominant in last year’s severe flu season.

But because of a genetic mismatch, the vaccine provided last year was useless in warding off H3N2, according to B.C. Centre for Disease Control epidemi-ologist Dr. Danuta Skowronski.

That component of the vaccine was replaced on orders of the World Health Organization, but preliminary evidence suggests the new ver-sion will still not be a good match against H3N2, falling well short of the 60 to 70

per cent protection rates against other flu strains in most years.

“I believe it’s going to be better than last year –  in other words I don’t think it’s going to be zero – but by how much, I can’t say,” Skowron-ski said.

She said there’s good reason to hope it may be 40 to 60 per cent effective overall, adding she continues to recommend the vaccine, particularly for those more vul-nerable.

“If you are a high-risk person, espe-cially with heart and lung conditions or elderly, even if you’re looking at vaccine protection of 30, 40 or 50 per cent, you’re still better off than if you’re unvaccin-ated.”

Flu vaccine will be widely available by November and may be offered sooner than that in high-risk settings like residen-tial care homes.

E p i d e m i o l o -gists had expected H3N2 would be less prevalent this year, with more of a mix of H1N1 and influ-enza B strains also in circulation, making the mismatch less of a worry.

But Skowronski noted there have already been two H3N2 outbreaks in long-term care homes in B.C.’s Vancouver Coastal health region –  one in the summer and another in late September.

“To have had out-break activity already in the summer is very unusual,” she said. “We are monitoring that closely for the possibility of an early season.”

Apart from last year, B.C. hasn’t seen flu outbreaks this early since 2009.

Last year, with H3N2 widespread and the mismatched vaccine offering no defence, there were 175 outbreaks in long-term care homes.

That was the high-est number in more than a decade and twice as many out-breaks as the previ-ous peak year of 2012.

S k o w r o n s k i acknowledged the mismatch problems threaten to erode public confidence in the flu vaccine but hopes vulnerable patients are not dis-suaded.

“For me, it would be a double tragedy, frankly, if coming out of last season our high-risk people lost faith and did not get the vaccine.”

While influenza is a “miserable” illness, Skowronski said it’s not life-threatening to healthy people, for whom vaccination is still encouraged but a matter of personal preference.

About one-third of B.C. residents typical-ly get the flu vaccine each year.

H3N2 vaccines have consistently underperformed in recent years.

Forum moderatorsStudents at Summerland Middle School ran and organized a forum for the candidates in the Oct. 19 federal election. From left are Liam Rowan, Kaeden Seiter, Tessa Nesdoly and Austin Cote. The questions for the school’s forum were written by students.

The Summerland Steam and the North Okanagan Knights faced each other twice on the week-end, resulting in one win for each Junior B hockey team.

On Friday, the Steam travelled to Armstrong, losing to the Knights in a 3-1 decision.

S u m m e r l a n d ’ s only goal of the game came on a power play at 17:17 in the first period, when Jack Mills scored, with

assists by Paulsen Lautard and Brogan Lautard.

The knights responded with a goal at 8:19.

The second period was scoreless.

In the third period, the Knights added a goal at the seven-minute mark and an empty net goal with 43 seconds remain-ing.

The two teams met again on Sun-day when the Steam earned a 3-0 win on home ice.

The first period was scoreless.

In the second per-iod, Michael Mac-Lean scored for the Steam at 14:48, assist-ed by Cody Egilson and Raphael Bassot.

Mills scored a short-handed goal for the Steam at 4:02, with the assist by Paulsen Lautard.

In the third per-iod, Cole Williams scored a short-hand-ed goal, with assists by Braden Eliuk and Mills.

At present, Sum-merland has a record of five wins and two losses in regular sea-son play.

This puts the team in second place, just behind the Osoy-oos Coyotes, in the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference: Oka-

nagan Division in the Kootenay Inter-national Junior Hock-ey League.

The next action for the Summerland Steam is on Friday, when they travel to Fruitvale to face the Beaver Valley Nite-hawks.
