SUMMERLAND REVIEWTHE VOICE OF OUR COMMUNITY SINCE 1908 WWW.SUMMERLANDREVIEW.COM
by Steve Kiddand Carla McLeod
With the province insisting on a negotiated settlement with B.C. teachers and the teachers holding firm to their demands, the end of the strike maybe sometime away yet.
Dave Stathers was walk-ing the picket lines at Sum-merland Secondary last week. In his 25 years of teaching, he said, this is the first time he has seen job action push into a new year.
He’s not optimistic for an early settlement to the strike.
“I think it will be October before we are back,” he said.
Though BCTF president Jim Iker held out the possi-bility of going to arbitration to settle the ongoing teach-ers’ strike over the weekend, that option has been all but ruled out by the government.
Iker urged the province to agree to arbitration and leave class size and com-position to be settled by the courts, promising the union
would then hold a member-ship vote on suspending the strike and returning to work, but Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the govern-ment team needs to see the detailed proposal in writing.
“I’ve never been a fan of binding arbitration,” he said, adding handing over con-trol to a third party risks an outcome that compromises B.C.’s balanced budget and unacceptably damages the province’s finances.

Quick end unlikely in teachers’ strike
Trout Creek residents speak out against proposed lot sizes in development near beach
by John Arendt
A development on a 3.2-hectare parcel in Trout Creek near Powell Beach will add 31 single family homes to the neighbourhood, but residents are concerned some of the lots will be too small for the area.
On Monday, municipal council approved the Official Community Plan and zon-ing bylaw amendments for the proposed development on Dale Avenue.
The property is zoned agricultural, but it is not in the Agricultural Land Reserve.
Brad Elenko, representing the developers, said two open houses were held over the past year and a half. As a result of public input, the developers will not have multi-family housing in the development.
Instead, all properties are in the RSD1, RSD2 and RSD3 single family designations.
Even with the changes, some of the lots are still too small for many who spoke at the public hearing on Monday evening.
The smallest properties, in the RSD1 zon-ing, would be smaller than 500 square metres, while the largest, in the RSD3 designation, would be more than 1,000 square metres.
Of the 31 lots in the proposal, 14 will be RSD1.
“I don’t see that as being appropriate at all for the Trout Creek area,” said Art More. “I think it’s going to devalue a lot of the lots in the area.”
Vic Jensen, another Trout Creek resident, said the higher density would change the character of the neighbourhood. It will also affect the ambiance in Powell Beach Park.
Marcia Dean said there are no RSD1 lots in Trout Creek at present.
She added that the small lots will result in cottage developments, rather than homes with permanent residents.
Marilyn Hansen said Trout Creek resi-dents do not want RSD1 lots. Instead, they want larger lots and green spaces in the area.
Sharon Mansiere said the RSD1 designa-tion is best suited for areas closer to urban services, not in an outlying area.
“We shouldn’t be doing RSD1 in a satellite area,” she said.
Those who supported the proposal and the smaller lots said it would help to bring families to the area.
Peter McIntosh of Penticton, who wants to move to Trout Creek, said the subdivision would give potential homeowners a price point to move in to the area.
On the picket lineKevin Lodermeier and Dave Stathers walk the picket lines at Summerland Secondary last week. At present, a quick end to the labour action is unlikely.

Continued from Page 1In the meantime,
parents are looking for ways to get their children prepared for when schools reopen and help reduce the effect of what Wendy Hyer, superintend-ent for the Okanagan Skaha school district, calls “summer skill loss.”
It’s too early to tell, she said, whether the strike has had an effect on home school registration, but she knows parents are looking for options.
“We really won’t know the impact on registration until this is all over. There is a private school in Kelowna that runs a distance learning program, so there are a few parents that have enrolled their kids there,” said Hyer.
“Literacy is always a big piece, ensuring your child is set-ting aside some time every day for read-ing, I think physical activity is always a plus, so get children outside and play-ing,” recommends Hyer.
Some parents, she said, have visited educational stores to get activities and other resources and have been sitting down with their kids and helping them
with their times tables and other edu-cational basics.
“When I was a kid, I learned how to count by playing cribbage,” said Hyer. “There are a lot of things, if you really focus on the basic skills, then probably the summer skill loss might not be as sig-nificant.”
The private Sum-merland Montes-sori School, reports experiencing a higher than usual volume of calls of interest in the school, especially for the younger grades. They say they have had several new admissions this last week and the parents and school officials are attributing it to the strike in the pub-lic school system.
Hyer also suggests parents check for pro-grams at community agencies and local libraries.
Sue Kline, com-munity librarian for Summerland Library, said they are seeing a lot of parents com-ing in, both now and over the summer.
“We had a super screaming busy sum-mer with kids out of school,” said Kline, adding that they have signed up a lot of new patrons. “We have had a lot of par-
ents that are taking some initiative.”
Kline said they have noticed parents coming in more fre-quently, two or three times a week instead of once a week.
“We have seen par-ents becoming much more involved in their kids reading,” said Kline.
She has also seen greater demand for their book lists as well as advising read-ers.
“I would say that is quite a bit higher this year than previous,” she said. “Parents are approaching it with a little more initia-tive and more often and we are doing more directed reader advisory on an indi-vidual basis with par-ents and their kids.”
One parent, she said, came in and told her their kids would be doing novel stud-ies, because that was one thing they could do, and asked for help.
“The staff has been very busy doing that sort of thing, match-ing age-appropriate material for kids,” she said.
“They (parents) have definitely been more diligent in their use of the library.”
Other community activities in Summer-
land include extra loonie swims at the community pool on Tuesday and Thurs-day from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., on Wednesday from 1:15 to 3 p.m. and on Friday from 1:15 until 5 p.m.
SADI (Summer-land Asset Develop-ment Initiative) will be continuing with their summer pro-grams and will be open Monday to Friday from noon to 6 p.m. and the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club will be extending their sum-mer day camp, in place of their after school program.
“We are calling it the strike camps,” said Kelsey Kotzian, program coordin-ator. They have lim-ited space now, but if there is further demand they will be expanding to a maximum of 24 chil-dren, continuing for the duration of the strike.
The after school program that usually is held at the Giant’s Head School and the Trout Creek School, is temporarily being held at the Lakeshore Racquet Club and is a full day program each week day, while the strike is on.

On the beachThis group of Summerland mothers and their children, spent the afternoon at Rotary Beach last Friday, because of the teacher’s strike. The kids didn’t mind and the mothers were taking it all in stride, with some deciding to look into home schooling.

Canada VS. The U.S.ADo you believe we are becoming more and more like our American cousins? Well, in some respects their culture has been a very big influence on ours. Whether or not that is a good thing is a matter of opinion and for that matter who's opinion it is.From a legal stand point, there are many areas where the American judicial system has encountered situations years ahead of the Canadian experience and as a result has been used as a guide by the Canadian courts in dealing with that situation.One aspect of our two legal systems will never be the same however, and that is the influence that juries play in creating law and awards. In America, a jury has a relatively free reign in handing out awards in civil matters. In Canada there are strict limitations on the amounts a Judge or Jury can award.The reason for this column? An article in the Canadian Lawyer Magazine estimated the value of all monetary awards given by juries in the US in 2002. The number was $283 BILLION dollars. Something to think about.

POLICE rEPOrtVehicle rear-ended
On Sept. 5 at 11 a.m., police were called to a two vehicle collision at Highway 97 and Rosedale Avenue.
A Ford Ranger pickup truck rear-ended a Chevrolet Cavalier at the intersection.
While there was some damage to the vehi-cles, there were no injuries, police say.
The driver of the truck was issued a ticket for following too closely.Power pole struck
A motorist was taken to hospital following a single vehicle accident at the 1100 block of Giant’s Head Road on Sept. 6 at 2 p.m.
The motorist, a Penticton driver, veered off the road to the right and struck the power pole.
Police say the motorist is believed to have suffered a medical emergency. He was taken to hospital in Penticton.

After a dozen years on municipal council, including the last six in the mayor’s chair, Janice Perrino will step back from the municipal council table.
At the council meeting on Mon-day evening, Perrino announced she will not put her name for-ward for the Nov. 15 election.
“Over my six years, I’ve worked with two incredible councils and along with amaz-ing staff we have achieved more than I ever dreamed pos-sible,” she said.
“I have to say all of my major goals that I came to this table with have been accomplished.”
These goals includ-ed holding two cit-izen surveys in 2009 and 2012, water sep-aration and water metering work, the new RCMP building, a scheduled transit service to and from Penticton and a new home for the library among others.
Perrino said the road upgrades and
r o u n d -a b o u t s have been one of her proudest a c c o m -p l i s h -ments.
T h e n e w R C M P d e t a c h -ment, which replaced an aging and crowd-ed building on Jubi-lee Road East, was another important achievement, she said.
She said her role with the Penticton Regional Hospital will require a sig-nificant time com-mitment in the years ahead as she works to raise $20 million to cover the cost of all the medial equip-ment for the hospital expansion. “It’s the
biggest project we have ever taken on and we can’t fail,” she said.
“I wouldn’t be able to give the mayor’s job the time and com-mitment I’m used to giving and what I know is required.”
Perrino’s first mayoral win came in the 2008 election, when she received 2,183 votes to Peter Waterman’s 1,651 votes. Both had been councillors on the previous municipal council.
In the last munici-pal election in 2011, Perrino was the sole mayoral candidate.
N o m i n a t i o n papers are available at municipal hall. Nominations will be accepted from Sept. 30 to Oct. 10.
Perrino will not seek reelection

VICTORIA – The B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s latest demand, for binding arbitra-tion on selected pocketbook issues of its members, is going nowhere.
This follows months of the union’s insistence on media-tion. First a B.C. Supreme Court judge met with both sides and walked away. Then the BCTF’s pre-ferred choice, Vince Ready, agreed that m e d i a t i o n won’t fix the current version of the mess he last examined in 2007.
BCTF president Jim Iker announced the arbitration gambit on Friday, in one of the webcasts he uses to rally the union’s exhausted member-ship.
Education Minister Peter Fassbender replied that with five minutes’ notice to the government’s chief negotiator and lacking specifics on what would be subject to arbitration, the proposal would forfeit the government’s mandate to con-trol costs.
“This government will not raise taxes in order to provide a settlement to one union that does not reflect what the other public sector has done,” Fass-bender said.
In short, there will be a nego-tiated settlement, eventually. The union chose to begin the strike, and now must find a way to end it.
The government’s position in this dispute is unlike any of the many that preceded it. And it points the way to an evolu-tion of education that cannot be stopped.
The announcement of a $40-a-day payment for days lost during a fall strike for chil-dren under 13 was greeted with scorn by the BCTF and its echo chambers. Parents won’t be bribed, they want school, not daycare, it’s an insult, went the refrain.
Before the first week of the fall strike was over, nearly two thirds of eligible parents had enrolled, faced with pickets at their schools and real and mounting child care and tutor-ing costs.
The union executive, col-lecting their hefty salaries while teachers do without even token strike pay, said members who are parents should refuse the money.
Some B.C. teachers have begun advertising tutoring ser-vices online.
With distance learning and other online education options expanding in all 60 public school districts, the digital revolution is unfolding quick-ly.
The B.C. government made a couple of announcements in April, one about moving to digital versions of textbooks and another about a digital merger of 1,600 school libraries with public and post-second-ary schools. Growth of options accelerates.
Largely drowned out by the noise of 1970s-style industrial
labour strife, the B.C. public school curriculum is being refashioned for this new age.
Among its goals is to “allow teachers and students the flex-ibility to personalize their learning experience to better meet each student’s individual strengths and needs.”
One of B.C.’s early models for self-directed learning is Thomas Haney secondary in Maple Ridge, where senior high students are expected to make their own way through course work, learning to man-age their own time.
It was here that the first couple of Grade 12 students showed up last week to begin making up for lost time from the strike that set in last spring. Self-directed study has become a crash course.
Private schools are also swamped with applications from Grade 12 students look-ing for particular courses they will need by next year.
In the short term, Fassbender says the lost strike days will likely have to be restored to the school schedule.
“Do you put it on at the end of the year? Do you take it out of spring break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are look-ing at all of the options,” Fassbender said.
In the longer term, the whole factory model of school is on the way out.

SUMMERLAND REVIEWA PART OF THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1908 WWW.SUMMERLANDREVIEW.COM
As the provincial teachers’ strike continues, it is becoming increasingly frustrating for teach-ers, parents and students.
All affected would like nothing more than to have a resolution in place and an end to the strike, but so far an end is not in sight.
Because of the length of time this strike has gone on, it is import-ant to reach a resolution which provides long-term solutions.
None of those affected would want to see a strike of this nature repeated.

Junior B hockey action has started in Summerland as the Steam have played their first exhibition games.
As the regular season is about to begin, coaches and players are preparing for another strong sea-son on the ice.
Last year the team clinched the division title in regular season action and Coach John Depourcq was named Coach of the Year in the Okanagan Division.

infill growthA development proposal
which would add 31 homes to Trout Creek received council support but opposition from many of the residents who spoke out on Monday evening.
The plan calls for 31 single family lots on a 3.2-hectare parcel near Powell Beach. Houses would be in the RSD1, RSD2 and RSD3 lot sizes.
The smallest properties, in the RSD1 zoning, would be smaller than 500 square metres, while the largest, in the RSD3 designation, would be more than 1,000 square metres.
Those opposed to the proposal said the RSD1 lots, which account for 14 of the 31 home sites, are too small to suit the character of Trout Creek. At present, there are no properties in Trout Creek within the RSD1 designation.
While Trout Creek’s unique character must be considered, the question must be asked whether the smaller lots would alter this character significantly. The plan as pre-sented would have just two more lots than if all the pro-posed lots were in the RSD2 designation.
Those in support of the development said the smaller lots will provide more afford-able housing solutions for those seeking to live in Trout Creek.
The need for affordable housing in Summerland has been identified for many years and in that time, various pro-posals have been presented.
Affordable housing often involves smaller homes on smaller lots. However, Trout Creek has been character-ized by large lots and higher housing prices than in other parts of Summerland. Because of the nature of this area, it is questionable whether homes on smaller lots would meet the requirements of afford-able housing.
Accommodating growth in Summerland will involve at least some infill developments. How much this proposed infill development will affect the character of Trout Creek remains to be seen.

Bounty worth showing offThis artful exhibit at the PNE in 1956 was designed to whet people’s appetites and entice them to come out of the rain and visit Summerland. Or maybe it was just showing off. The tempting fruit interspersed with flowers and photos of the lake beautifully illustrated some of the best features of our sunny little town. The 105th Annual Fall Fair is a great place to experience an abundance of Summerland’s bounty. There will be lavish displays of fruit, flowers and photos plus a whole lot more. Don’t miss it—Sept. 13 and 14 at the Curling Club.

The early years
Facility is needed for aspiring artistsDear Editor:As they frequently do, the
front page headlines of last week’s Review reflect the state of things in Summerland: “Future unsure for arts coun-cil” and “Skateboard park con-
sidered.”Trying to attract young
people to the community is laudable, but we already have a skateboard park.
How about putting that money into a decent facility for
the visual arts? The Summerland Arts Coun-
cil has already been dealt a heavy blow this year, with lit-tle regard for the many pro-grams they run for children and young adults.
The street banner program attests to the number of fine young artists we have, but that program may not be able to run next year in such a tiny space.
Summerland offers many
sports venues for people of all ages; let’s pay a little more attention to the equally valu-able development of young art-ists.
Kathryn McCourtSummerland
Premier must act to open schools
Dear Editor:It is my under-
standing that:1) education is
compulsory to the age of 14 at least
2) the provin-cial government is responsible to fund education
3) education is an essential service
4) education is an investment for the future.
All this being so, the provincial gov-ernment has the legal responsibility to have public schools open and operating.
The current impasse is irrespon-sible causing diffi-culties for students, parents, teachers, and in the long run, the future in B.C.
Teachers have had zero increases in sal-ary for the past two years, losing effect-ively three per cent of their purchasing power due to cost of living increases.
Despite boast-ing about the fine record of B.C. pub-lic schools, Christy Clark and her gov-ernment have con-sistently under-funded public edu-cation for a decade. No allowance for increasing costs has worsened conditions in schools.
Premier Clark is indeed negligent if she does not immedi-ately act to open all schools. Now.
Sheila WhiteSummerland
Dear Editor:Why won’t the B.C.
Liberal government accept binding arbi-tration in the educa-tion dispute?
The B.C. Teach-ers’ Federation has offered to hand the decision on wages and benefits over to an arbitrator.
The government continues, although incorrectly, to claim that the teachers’
proposals are “out of line” with other settlements.
The government would be allowed to make their case for lowering these cost items.
The BCTF has also offered to negotiate an interim amount to support class size and composition, an area that the premier has said is the number one priority in educa-
tion. This call for arbi-
tration seems very reasonable, yet, the government is stall-ing, likely, if we are to believe pundits, to refuse the offer.
The real motive behind saying no may have nothing to do with wages, bene-fits, or even putting a little bit more money into class compos-ition.
It likely has every-thing to do with the government’s pro-posal, labelled E.80, which would nullify the two court rulings that teachers have won, finding among other things that the government broke the law, bargained in bad faith, and sought to provoke teachers into strike action in 2011.
If the BCTF were
to accept this propos-al, the government would not only avoid the ramifications and potential damages from the upcoming appeal, or appeals, class size and com-position fund-ing would remain unchanged.
While the govern-ment has announced they’ll invest $375 million dollars over the course of the
agreement, this is not new money but rath-er currently budgeted money.
Finally, why would anyone sign away two court victories for nothing?
What is standing in the way of schools opening in a matter of days is the gov-ernment’s refusal to let the courts decide, something both the premier and the min-
ister of education claim they want to happen.
It’s far past the time that the govern-ment demonstrate that they truly care about education, let the court decide the outcome of the issues before it, and enter arbitration on the remaining mat-ters.

Teachers have called for arbitration
Dear Editor:On Sept. 3, 1939,
I was 12 years old, living in the Cadbury brothers’ 19th-cen-tury planned village of Bournville, now a suburb of England’s second largest city, Birmingham, three
miles from the Austin Motor works, where twin engine Fairy Battle Bombers are being manufactured.
On BBC Radio (“the wireless”) we heard Prime Min-ister Neville Cham-berlain declare, “…
consequently for the second time in 25 years, we are at war with Germany.”
Back-to-school was supposed to happen the next week but now we faced evacu-ation from cities; first time separation from
parents and siblings; being sure to take our gas masks along.
Headlines last
week, locally, “Stu-dents fear for future;” “Protest not where kids wanted to
be Tuesday;” and “Future unsure for Arts Council” would not have fit in the first
week of September 1939 in Great Britain.

Demolition workCrews demolished two buildings on Main Street in preparation for the construction of the new library branch. The buildings were a garage and the former municipal hall, which had been the home of the Summerland Arts Centre for the past 16 years.
Dear Editor:I just came across
on the Critteraid website that the wild rescue mare, Ava-lon, was adopted by Paula Rains.
Wasn’t there a per-fectly suitable trainer willing to adopt her?
Janette Damsma fought hard to adopt this special horse and all of a sudden Ava-lon gets adopted to someone else; a long-standing member on the board of direc-tors of Critteraid — meaning that Avalon will stay on the Crit-teraid farm.
Janette has worked with horses for years. She is compassion-ate and maternal
towards her own ani-mals and connects with them on an emotional and intel-lectual level, includ-ing her own horse, Padre, who also had a strong bond with Avalon.
Janette worked with Avalon for over two years and they developed the kind of bond that you see in families.
It sickens me to see these bonds torn apart.
Janette does heal-ing work and animal rehab. I’ve seen the way she worked with the animals at Crit-teraid farm while she was there. She worked hard and understood
the animals on a deep level. They were more than just animals to her, they were a part of her life and not just a job that needed doing.
These animals are supposed to be going to their “for-ever home” to people who truly want to make a difference in their lives and who the animals also feel comfortable with.
To deny an adop-tion to a perfectly lov-ing home is beyond me. I would love for Critteraid to answer why Avalon wasn’t put in this “forever home.”

Review
Due to the rainfall that has come with the beginning of Sep-tember, the fire haz-ard for our region has fallen to the low to very low rating.
This is on the other end of the spectrum compared to the July ratings, which were at extreme danger.
The Kamloops Fire Centre reports there were 314 fires in its area since April 1 of this year, resulting in 3,569 hectares burned.
Of the seven zones within the region, the Penticton zone, which includes Summer-land, was reported as being the third busiest zone, with the second most hectares burned. There were a total of 64 fires in this zone.
Some of these fires are still being mon-itored and patrolled by crews as a pre-cautionary measure. It is possible for the fire to continue to burn underground for some time. Sev-eral days of sustained rainfall is required in order for a fire to no longer be listed on patrol status.
As to the causes of
these fires, it has been determined that 160 of them were caused by lightening, while 154 are thought to be of human origin.
Fire Origin and Cause Investigators are working close-ly with local gov-ernments and fire departments as well as with the RCMP, in order to solve these still open investiga-tions, of the human caused fires. The goal and the end result of their work will be that of laying charges against those found to be responsible.
The Kamloops Fire Region still has a ban in place with regards to any burn, larger than a small camp-fire. The size of the campfire must only be one-half metre wide by one-half metre high. People are also not allowed to use burning barrels or to set off fireworks or to use sky lanterns.
Typically for our region these prohibi-tions are rescinded as of Oct. 15. For most, this is just in time for fall yard cleanup, when backyard burn-ing often takes place.
The Summerland Chamber renewed its agreement with the District of Sum-merland this week to provide tourism and various economic development services to the community for the next five years. Similar contracts have been in place since 2001.
However, in the past few years, the Chamber Board has worked to streamline our strategic plan so the services we deliv-er in each area remain consistent and rel-evant.
Generally the chamber works in three key areas.
These are member services which we provide on behalf of our more than 700 local business mem-bers, as well as tour-ism and economic
development services which we provide on a fee-for-service basis to the district.
The Summerland model is a very cost effective one.
In neighbouring communities, similar services are provided by multiple organiza-tions with associated costs for staffing, etc. while the Summer-land Chamber pro-vides comprehensive
services under one roof.
In the past few years the Cham-ber has created or enhanced all of our tourism and invest-ment promotional tools.
This includes a library of visitor and investment videos, a new tourism web-site, revamped visitor guides and a compre-hensive investment and relocation guide.
Visit the Cham-ber website at www.summerland-chamber.com if you have not yet seen these items.
The last upgrade will be the new Chamber web-site which will be launched before year end.
We’ve also empha-sized expanded partnerships and
mutually beneficial relationships with tourism and eco-nomic development branches throughout the South Okanagan. We currently repre-sent our community in more than nine separate initiatives and work with more than a dozen regional partners.
As the second largest community in the South Oka-nagan we need to be represented in these regional part-nerships. The Sum-merland Chamber of Commerce profes-sionally fulfills this role and acts as a cohesive marketing arm for Summerland
– promoting our com-munity in person, via print and online as a place to visit and do business.
We look forward to continuing to serve all our stakeholders in the coming years.
We always appre-ciate your feedback. Please contact me at president@summer-
landchamber.com or Christine Petkau at [email protected].
Arlene Fenrich is President of the Summerland Cham-ber of Commerce. All of the members of the board of direc-tors serve as volun-teers.

Library hosts cultural events
by Steve KiddBlack Press
With a new library building on the way, Susan Kline is look-ing at showing off what goes on behind the doors.
“I have been look-ing for ways to intro-duce the library to people in the com-munity that don’t know what we do,” said Kline, commun-ity librarian at the Summerland Public Library, adding she is often asked questions about how the library functions.
“We thought, why don’t we invite the whole community into the library, to just see what we do on a day to day basis?”
That led to the idea of having an open house, which led in turn to the thinking about how different community and cul-tural groups use the library.
“Then we thought, why don’t we have it in conjunction with cultural days so that we can allow those members of our com-munity to demon-strate the ways that they use the library and things that might be interesting about their culture,” said Kline.
Putting the two together, Kline said, they decided to have an open house week from Sept. 23 to 27 and run it into B.C. Culture Days, which is the Friday, Satur-day and Sunday of that week.
Since the library is closed on the Sunday, they will be missing the final day of the annual cultural event, which is a Canada-wide movement to raise the awareness, accessibility, partici-pation and engage-ment of all Canadians in the arts and cul-tural life of their com-munities.
“We have put some cultural events into Friday and Saturday in the schedule of events and we have put other things in during the week that will hopefully invite people to come in,” said Kline.
Throughout the open house, Kline is
hoping people come in and ask questions about library func-tions, like how book requests and ship-ping are handled though the Okanagan Regional Library sys-tem, but she is also hoping people drop by to observe the local functions.
“All our programs are starting that week as well, so we are inviting people from the community to come and sit in for five minutes, 15 min-utes or whatever to a preschool story time, a toddler time, a baby time,” said Kline.
Also on the sched-ule for the open house is a display of playwright and auth-or George Ryga.
“We have fairly good collection of Ryga’s works, so dur-ing that week, we will have a display of all Ryga’s stuff and some memorabilia from the museum,” said Kline. “Dick Clements is going to come on the 23rd in the evening and read from one of Ryga’s plays.”
Clements’ reading isn’t the only author
event planned for the week. On Friday, as part of cultural days, First Nations author Frank Busch will be visiting to read from his novel, Grey Eyes.
“We have a Japanese Tea cere-mony happening on Friday afternoon, we have a potter’s dem-onstration happening in the morning, and Saturday is pretty full as well. The book club we hold here month-ly will be discuss-ing Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese.
But the crowning finale to the week, Kline said, is a Satur-day afternoon event by the Friends of the Summerland Library, who are presenting their 10-10-10 event, which is 10 authors, 10 minutes each, check out 10 great books.
“They have a com-bination of writers and poets and hope-fully some musicians that are going to be here Saturday after-noon for a couple of hours, making presentations.” said Kline. “That kind of caps it off. It is going to be a busy week.”
Dramatic readingActor Dick Clements will read from one of George Ryga’s plays during the B.C. Culture Days events at the Summerland Library later this month. The open house week at the library runs from Sept. 23 to 27.

Summerland Review Thursday, September 11, 2014 L i f e s t y L e www.summerlandreview.com 9
Summerland featured in historical reportThe Okanagan
Historical Society has just published its 78th annual report.
The book contains historical articles from the Okanagan, Shuswap and Simil-kameen Valleys.
Featured in this year’s book are arti-cles about Summer-land’s Okanagan Col-lege 1906-1914, the Verrier Award and the Barclay Ranch house.
S u m m e r l a n d ’ s Okanagan College was one of Western Canada’s first insti-tutes of higher learn-ing.
Located on the north slope of Giant’s Head Mountain, its buildings were his-toric landmarks of our community.
The Verrier Award is Summerland’s most prestigious community award: initiated by our stu-
dents to remember a classmate.
The Barclay Ranch House is probably Summerland’s most important heritage building. Built by David Lloyd Jones, it was purchased by George Barclay and moved from Jones Flat to its present location on Victoria Road, in time for the Barclay wedding in 1897.
The Okanagan
Historical Society was founded in 1925. For most of those years, the Society has published an annual report. The earlier reports are available at no cost from the
digital collections of the University of Brit-ish Columbia. Visit-digitalcollect ions.library.ubc.ca/cdm/landingpage/collec-tion/ohs.
In recent years the
society has expanded its activities to include a student essay con-test as well as the very popular student historical video con-tests, which are part of the curriculum of
the Faculty of Educa-tion at UBCO.
The book can be purchased at the Sum-merland Museum. The cost includes an annual membership to the society.
The last weekend of September will see wineries of Sum-merland’s Bottleneck Drive, in association with Summerland Waterfront Resort, showcase the work of a dozen profes-sional and semi-professional local artists.
The artists are Val
Eibner, John Topham, Will Enns, Irene Gray, Janice Blackie-Goodine, Dale Mat-thews, Jean Evani-shen, Valery Nielsen, Susan Scott, Eliza-beth Wrobel, Elaine Watts and Joan Lans-dell.
Their works include stained glass, wood turning, oils,
pastels, acrylics, watercolours, pottery, jewelry and photog-raphy.
The free event, which includes com-plimentary wine tast-ing, will be held Sat-urday, Sept. 27 and Sunday, Sept. 28 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Summerland Waterfront Resort.
Artists to show works

Fundraising effortOrv Robson, David Cassidy, presenting sponsor Tom Budd and Cst. Jacques Lefebvre of the Summerland RCMP detach-ment were on hand at the Summerland RCMP detachment to welcome the Cops for Kids riders on Friday afternoon. Robson offered a donation of $500 on behalf of the Penny Lane Society and Cassidy presented them with a cheque from the Sum-merland Rotary Club for the amount of $300. Budd pledged to match any donations made.

The Cops for Kids ride made a stop at the Sum-merland RCMP building on Friday afternoon.
Cops for Kids are dedi-cated RCMP members and support people of the RCMP Southeast Dis-trict. They are committed to assisting children that
are in medical, physical or traumatic crisis within the Southern Interior Region of British Columbia. The charitable foundation pro-vides limited, short-term financial assistance to these children.
While they hold many fundraisers throughout the year, their signature event is the Cops for Kids
Ride. This gruelling 10-day, 1,000-kilometre cycling journey across Southeastern B.C. takes them over some very challenging terrain.
Although the cyclists may find the ride hard and may hurt at the end of each day, they realize that the children they are riding for face even greater challen-ges, for a much longer per-
iod of time.This year’s ride began
Sept. 5 and continues to Sept. 14. It includes stops in communities all along the way. Overnight stops are scheduled for Osoy-oos, Grand Forks, Castle-gar, Nelson, Creston, Cran-brook, Three Valley Gap, Kamloops, Vernon and Kelowna.

Community on the Bounty. That is the theme of the 105th annual Summerland Fall Fair, being held this weekend.
“We are a com-munity that has so much bounty, that we need to celebrate,” said Connie Davis. “We picked up on the ship theme and are working on the pirate theme for the kids. We even have our big apple dressed up as a pirate.”
Davis is a long- time volunteer with the fair. This year she has stepped in at the last moment to fill the role of volunteer coordinator.
Although the num-ber varies from year to year, between 120 and 145 volunteers help make the fair happen.
“Our volunteers
are from nine years old and up,” said Davis.
“We really encour-age and work with our junior volunteers. Once we get them going they tend to come back every year and they want to do it again.”
At 93 years of age, Trudy Lidster is the fair’s eldest volun-teer and is happy to tell people her age. She works on the tro-phies, putting on the engraving and pol-ishing them up.
“I enjoy it and it’s something to do,” she said.
The Tuesday night before the fair is when the bulk of the work begins, with the setting up of walls, tables and chairs.
“Set up and take down are horren-dous,” said Davis. “The curling club makeover is phenom-enal. To go from an empty cement shell…we take that and the upstairs area as well and convert it into a fair. It’s very labour intensive.”
Outside, tents and security fencing are put up on Thursday night. This is also the night the exhibitors arrive.
Each volunteer convenor has the responsibility for one category of the exhib-ition. They set up the exhibit, making sure it not only has eye appeal, but is laid out appropriately for the judges. The convenor also selects a judge for their category, mak-ing sure it is someone who has knowledge and understanding of the items being dis-played.
Friday night is for all the finish-ing touches and the night that the vend-ors come in, so every-thing is ready to go, come Saturday mor-ning.
The volunteer board of directors will be in attend-ance, with each one assigned specific hours to be the face of the fair. An office tent will be on site for anyone needing to contact a board member.
“It’s a very active working board. Those people who come to the board must be available and be actively working, not just directing the ship. They have to pull the ropes too,” explained Davis.
The board mem-bers are responsible for all the behind the scenes planning and organizing of the fair.
They raise funds by renting out space to vendors and obtaining local spon-sorship.
They design tee shirts and put togeth-er a brochure, set out signage and advertise the fair.
They put together the ribbon packages and strive to find entertainment that is suitable for all ages.
They are also on hand to take it all down again at the fair’s end and to host a volunteer apprecia-tion pie and coffee social.
Along with the exhibitions, in 26 different categories, the fair will include many of the previ-ous years’ favour-ite attractions. New to the fair this year will be a Celtic band called Ceili appearing on stage at 5 p.m. on Saturday.
“The entrance gate fee of $5 has not changed for at least 20 years and chil-dren under 12 are free. The Bottleneck Drive Wine Fair tick-ets will also be sold at the gate rather than at the wineries as advertised,” said Davis.
For a full schedule of events and high-lights go to summer-landfallfair.com or pick up a brochure at the Fall Fair office or at local business-es.
Do you plan on celebrating the com-munity’s bounty by attending the Fall Fair? If so it opens Saturday morning at 10 a.m. at the Sum-merland Curling Club, Jubilee Ave. E.
If you know a positive story about someone in our com-munity, contact Carla McLeod at [email protected] or con-tact the Summerland Review newsroom at 250-494-5406.

On Monday, municipal council voted to modify the fee-for-service agree-ment between the muni-cipality and the chamber for a five-year term.
The new flat rate annual funding is $225,000, up from the previous amount of $200,000.
“This service has a
cost to it, and that cost has i n c re a s e d , ” said Coun. Robert Hack-ing.
C o u n . Orv Robson added that the last time the fee for the chamber increased was in 2005.
“The chamber is very pleased to renew our con-tract with the district for
the delivery of tourism and economic development services,” said Arlene Fen-rich, president of the Sum-merland Chamber. “We’ve worked extensively in recent years to create a suite of marketing tools that attract both visitors and investors and we’ve also developed many regional partnerships that help us promote our community to a wide audience.”
The resolution was passed unanimously.

Chamber receives funding increase Continued from Page 1
Sam Elia said the proposal is a good use of the land and a good infill pro-posal. It would also be a benefit to Trout Creek School and the local infrastruc-ture.
Toni Brown said the high cost of housing in Trout Creek keeps young families away from the area.
“The young families have dis-appeared from Trout Creek because it’s not an affordable area,” she said.
Developers said if all lots in the development were RSD2, the develop-ment would have two fewer lots.
Members of council said the development will be a benefit to the
community.Coun. Lloyd Christopherson said
Summerland has the highest average housing prices in the South Okanagan.
“Summerland is facing a crisis of affordable housing,” he said. “It’s very difficult for young families starting out in Summerland.”
Coun. Orv Robson said the RSD1 lot size is becoming more prevalent in the community. The difference in the num-ber of lots with or without the smaller properties is minimal, he added.
Mayor Janice Perrino said the plan is the best use of the land.
The bylaw readings received unani-mous council approval.

Over this past summer I have been fortunate to receive some favourable comments in a local editorial on my work as a Member of Par-liament and also have been the subject of some rather intense criticism for raising a subject that some citizens had strong opposing views on.
Being in the mid-dle of a media fire-storm and the target of some opposing cit-izens is overall not an enjoyable experience; however it is a very important one.
In a vibrant dem-ocracy in a country as diverse as Canada we expect disagree-ment and a difference of views.
It is understandable that we would pre-fer opposition to be neatly delivered, con-structive and without personal attacks or
profanity; however we also recognize that citizens at times express points of views in unique ways.
This can all be unpleasant for cer-tain but we should also not overlook that ultimately when people make an effort to pass on questions, comments or views they are attempt-ing to engage in our democratic process — a good thing indeed.
I mention these things due to the fact
that in one munici-pality within Oka-nagan-Coquihalla, a local government is reported to have threatened litigation against a senior cit-izen who can be quite vocal on local issues of importance.
As an elected offi-cial I can relate to the fact that at times we have critics who can be quite aggressive and we would prefer that they communicate in a more civil tone.
It should also be pointed out that if a citizen is behaving in such a manner, that elected officials, if necessary through government, can state reasons why certain behaviours are not tolerated and responses to vitriolic or vexatious inquiries not provided.
Drawing a line between legitimate but uncomfortable
inquiry and harsh or impassioned lan-guage is a difficult task and should be taken with care.
In my view when local officials sanc-tion legal means to attempt to silence members of the pub-lic, that crosses a line and that is a concern that I believe we should all share.
Withstanding criti-cism is never enjoy-able however if we are to lead in public office at times, dif-ficult and unpopu-lar decisions will be required to be made.
Accepting criticism for those decisions is part of the process.
We should also rec-ognize that our more senior levels of gov-ernment at the prov-incial and federal level were structured by design to have a funded and working opposition with cer-tain legal and trad-itional immunities to raise issues when in legislative chambers.
In municipal gov-ernment, particularly in small to mid-sized
communities, where there is no formal funded official oppos-ition; often the oppos-ition may well be from members of the public, who in this case we are reminded, may have no legal immunity to raise issues of concern.
The intent of this week’s report is to recognize that while criticism can be at times difficult to accept, it remains an important part of governance and elect-ed office.
Criticism, in my view is not some-thing we should fear nor shy away from and most importantly should not attempt to silence.
There is little doubt that some will criti-cize my report this week. From my gen-eral observation there are far fewer subjects that receive complete agreement than the vast amount of sub-jects that citizens agree to disagree on.
That is the sign of a healthy democracy where citizens enjoy
the freedom to express opposing views with-out fear of repercus-sion. I can be reached via email at [email protected] or toll free at 1-800-665-8711.

by John Arendt
Hockey players from around Brit-ish Columbia and beyond attended the Summerland Steam
main camp at the end of August, hoping for a chance to play on the Junior B hockey team.
Gregg Wilson, co-owner and general manager of the team, said 45 players, all of them talented, were at the camp Aug. 22 to 24.
He said the strong hockey season last year attracted strong players.
“Because of the
season we had last year, the kids were calling us,” Wilson said. “We didn’t have
to call them.”This year’s team
will feature 12 returning players for the 23 spots on the
team, but Wilson said the returning players were not guaranteed they would be play-
ing again.“It was tough for
our returning play-ers. They had to earn their spot back,” he
said.At present, 19
of the spots on the team have been con-firmed, as seven new players have been signed.
The remaining four spots will be determined during the exhibition games in September.
In addition, some of the players on the team may have a chance to advance to Junior A hockey.
Wilson said John DePourcq, coach of the team, has worked to develop a strong program for the play-ers.
In addition to fill-ing out its roster of players, Wilson said the Steam also needs host families for out-of-town players.
He said 11 play-ers will require bil-let homes this year, but only five of them have a place to stay at
present.Volunteers are
also needed for vari-ous team functions. These include people to provide security, compile statistics and assist with the 50-50 draws.
Those interested in hosting players or becoming volunteers are asked to call Wil-son at 250-462-0905 or email [email protected].
A hockey player and a coach from Summerland are among the new faces on the Steam Junior B hockey team for this fall.
Cody Egilson, 18, will play on the team this year while Wade Parker, who has a long history in coaching, will serve as assistant coach for
the year.Egilson has
played hockey for 10 years and looks forward to playing in the town where he grew up.
“To play for the Steam is going to be awesome,” he said, “I get to play for the home town.”
Because he is play-ing for the Steam, he
will be able to remain at home.
E g i l -son was se lec ted d u r -ing the t e a m ’ s m a i n camp in late August.
“It was good to get
back on the ice,” he said.
He has already met with the team’s coaching staff and is ready to play.
Parker, a hockey coach for 14 years, started his coaching career with the Sum-merland Warriors.
The team, a replacement for the Rossland Warriors,
was in place for the 1999 to 2000 season.
Parker began as assistant coach and alter became head coach.
He has also coached the B.C. Best Ever U16 team.
He hopes to see the strong momentum for the last season
continue during this season.
“We’re hoping we can improve on what happened last year,” he said.

Countless hours of training and invalu-able game experience has paid off for Kylie Erb of Summerland.
Erb, along with McKenzie Ricard, Alena Carlile and Caitlyn Spooner of the Pinnacles Football Club are extending their soccer careers at the post-secondary level.
Ricard, Carlile and Erb will suit up for the University of Northern British Col-umbia Timberwolves in Prince George, while Spooner is join-ing the Quest Uni-versity Kermodes in Squamish this fall.
The trio of rookie Timberwolves are excited to play in the Canadian Inter-university Sport (CIS).
Erb has some
nerves about the change, but said it’s good because of the exposure to a higher level will motivate them to elevate their game.
“It’s exciting,” said Erb, a Summerland Secondary grad. “It makes it feel like all the hard work has paid off. That we are reaching the next
level.” Erb, who plays
fullback, said making this transition with her friends will help, but also said her new teammates are nice.
“I’m excited to see what happens,” said Erb, an under-16 provincial champ.
First and fore-
most what attracted Timberwolves coach Andy Cameron to the trio is that they are good students and athletes.
“We very much want our players to overachieve in the classroom and on the field,” said Cameron via email. “Secondly, based on discussions with Kylie, McKen-
zie and Alena, and my observations of their play, they play a similar style to the game as our univer-sity team.
“This is both a credit to them as play-ers, but also speaks highly of the good work that is being done within the Pin-nacles Football Club in Penticton. Individ-ually, Kylie brings the pace to get into for-wards into the offen-sive third from her fullback position,” he continued.
“Alena brings ath-leticism and size to
the central midfield and McKenzie is a tidy left-footed play-er who can provide quality distribution out of the back. I believe that all three players can contrib-ute to the program quickly and I am looking forward to working with them.”
Last season the Timberwolves fin-ished 1-9-2 in the Canada West Stand-ings.
Their season began Sept. 6 to 7 when they hosted the UBC-O Heat.
Spooner, who played with Ricard on the Mustangs championship squad, joins a Kermodes team that lost 1-0 in the PACWEST prov-incial championship in Nanaimo.
The Kermodes bowed to the Thomp-son Rivers University WolfPack, but the silver medal marks the Kermodes’ best result in their four-year playoff his-tory. Spooner said the opportunity is abso-lutely incredible.
“I wasn’t playing to get to this level. I never thought that I would,” said Spooner.
Erb earns spot on UNBC soccer team
Soccer skillsKylie Erb of Summerland will play for the Univer-sity of Northern British Columbia Timberwolves this season. Erb is one of four members of the Pinnacles Football Club to continue playing soc-cer at the university level this year.
“It’s exciting. It makes it feel like all the hard work has paid off. That we are reaching the next level.”

ROGERSRobert “Bob”
Robert “Bob” Rogers of Summerland, BC passed away peacefully on October 16, 2013 at the age of 86 years. He will be remembered and sadly missed by his wife of 61 years, May, children: Carol (Dan) of Okanagan Falls BC, Sheila (Richie) of Summerland BC and Rick (Debbie) of Keremeos BC, five grandchildren and lots of great grandchildren. Bob loved his quail and his garden from which he shared many vegetables with many neighbours. He enjoyed having a “Cold one” with his good friends.
May would like to invite family and friends to an Open House on Saturday, September 13, 2014 from 1 to 4pm to celebrate Bob’s life and share memories.
1317 Laidlaw Street, Summerland, B.C.

Those whom we love go out of sight but never out of mind.
They are cherished in the hearts of those they leave behind. Loving and kind in all his ways, upright and just in all his
days. Sincere and true in heart and mind, beautiful memories he left behind.
- Edith, Lisa, Dave, Nolan, Clark, Nancy & Family

If you didn’t man-age to see the piece by Shaw Television, that aired on Go Okanagan!, about the current show at the Summerland Art Gallery you can see the video clip on their YouTube chan-nel or on the Sum-merland Community Art Council’s web-site.
Wayne McDougall attended the show opening and then interviewed art-ists Maureen King, Albertine Meyer, Mary Scales and Susan Gibbs about their project of sketching heritage houses around Sum-merland.
So if you are curi-ous to find out: “If old houses could talk, what would they say?” then view this short three minute video and find out how this drawing pro-ject spoke to these women.
Of course, noth-ing beats seeing these works in person so why not drop by the Art Gallery at 9908 Main St. and check it out.
However, the Arts Centre is more than an art gallery, as any-one who has been to either the present location or the former one knows.
The space hosts a myriad of work-shops for children and adults as well as a gift gallery where locals and visitors can find paintings, photographs, pottery, jewelry and wooden bowls created by local artists.
As John Arendt
reminded us, in last Thursday’s paper in both his editorial and an article on the front page, the future of the arts in Summer-land is anything but certain.
Although funding for the current loca-tion is in place for this year and 2015 what happens Jan. 1, 2016?
Does the com-munity value an arts centre and art gal-lery?
Is it important for children to be exposed to the arts through the annual Summer Art Pro-gram?
Is the Street Ban-ner Project, now in
its 16th year, worth continuing?
Last weekend, thousands of visitors attended the 21st annual ArtWalk in Lake Country.
Three hundred artists, who work in a variety of mediums includ-ing painting, draw-ing, photography,
sculpture, ceramics and glass work dis-played more than 3,000 works in what is the largest collec-tion of B.C. artists’ work in the Interior.
Imagine the impact on the local economy.
Arts and culture are good for the soul… and the pocket
book. What do we want to do Summer-land?
The Arts Palette is written by David Finnis, publicity chair and president of the Summerland Community Arts Council, P.O. Box 1217, 9908 Main St., Summerland, B.C. V0H 1Z0.

It has been 34 years since Terry Fox ran his heroic Marathon of Hope.
Summerland will join other commun-ities across Canada in hosting a Terry Fox Run this coming Sun-day, Sept. 14.
“Everyone is affected in some way by cancer,” said Keith Johnson, who along with Mike and Hea-ther Cooke, is organ-izing this year’s run in Summerland.
Johnson has head-ed up the Summer-land run for the last five years. However, as he has relocated to Penticton, he is turn-ing over the reins to the Cookes.
When the Cookes learned Johnson was looking for someone to replace him, they were happy to step up to the plate.
They have lost sev-eral friends and col-leagues to cancer, and in 2013, Mike’s father, Tony Cooke, died of pancreatic cancer.
Registration for this year’s run begins at 10:15 a.m. at the Summerland Aquatic Centre.
The run/walk starts and finishes at the Aquatic Cen-tre; participants have the option of a one-kilometre, three-kilo-metre or five-kilo-metre route.
The one-kilometre route will be led by the Summerland Orca Swim Club. Refreshments will be available following the run.
The three- and five-kilometre events are suitable for bikes, wheelchairs, scoot-ers, strollers and rollerblades.
The one-kilometre walk is not suitable for bikes or roller-blades.
Dogs on leash are welcome.
Participants can enjoy a free swim or soak in the hot tub at the Aquatic Cen-tre during the public swim from 2:30 to 4 p.m.
Schools typically hold their own Terry Fox Run later in Sep-tember, but given the current labour dispute, Johnson encourages families to bring their chil-dren to the commun-ity event.
Fox had a dream of raising $1 for each of Canada’s 24 million people at the time.
As of May 2014, more than $650 mil-lion has been raised in his name to help fund cancer research.
Summerland held its first Terry Fox run in 1986 and to date has raised more than $50,000 for cancer research.
Pledge forms are available at the Aqua-tic Centre and the Summerland Cred-it Union, or can be downloaded online from www.terryfox.org.
Alternatively, par-ticipants can simply register on-site, make a donation, and then participate.
A large poster will be available for par-ticipants to indicate for whom they are running.
The Cookes invite the community to seize the opportunity to walk, run, wheel or ride this Sunday, while contributing to an important cause and to Summerland spirit.
A few more volun-teers are needed to help with route mar-shalling.
If you would like more information or wish to volun-teer, contact Mike and Heather Cooke by phone at 250-488-3415, by email, t e r r y f o x r u n s u m [email protected] or visit the event’s Facebook page, Terry Fox Run 2014 – Sum-merland.

Tournament winnersThe Summerland Credit Union Senior Slo-pitch team had a great season this year winning both the Joe Bullock Tourna-ment in May and the Randy Newell Tournament to end the season in August. For their efforts they were voted the Most Improved Team in the league for 2014 and were also presented with the Dave Woolgar trophy. The team is very apprecia-tive of the sponsorship of the Summerland Credit Union.
