Allan Carter, a Summerland business owner, says the community needs to be made aware of people living in substandard conditions at a local RV park. “I think the people of Summerland should know what is going on up there and it should be stopped,” said the owner of the Dollar Store. “People are going to react and say this shouldn’t be happening in our town.” Paul Pearcey is one of the tenants living in the Pleasant View Motel and RV Park. He and his wife have been renting one of the trailers at the RV park and paying $700 a month, he said, though the trailer has nothing working in it. “The propane stove doesn’t work, the plumbing doesn’t work properly, there is black mould in the trailer and this whole area is infested with ants,” he said. “One of the electrical outlets caught fire one night and I had to put it out. The wiring in the trailer is faulty.” Others, Pearcey said, have even less, pointing out a blue car with a tarp over it, which, he said, the motel owner was renting out for $500 per month. Another unit, a dilapidated van with an extension cord running through the window, has also been rented out, according to Pearcey. Summerland bylaw officer Gary Ellis went out to investigate the situation on Oct. 1, only looking into the two abandoned vehicles as he had no complaints at that time about the trailers in the RV Park. “I talked to the people in the vehicles (old van and car) and they said that the owner had evicted them and that they would be complying with the eviction.” Ellis added that he will be visiting the site again to re-inspect the situation. Pleasant View is owned by Shanguang (Walter) Wang who claims all of the units he rents are properly serviced, and in good condition when he rents them. If there is a mould problem, he adds, it was caused by the tenants living in them. Wang said it just wouldn’t make any sense for people to rent units

without water and other services. “Who would be that stupid?” he asked, adding that he has problem tenants, but laws make it hard to evict them quickly, like one tenant that was living in a car over the summer. According to Wang, they owed him “thousands of dollars” in back rent from living in a Penticton motel he also owns. When he evicted them earlier this year, they claimed to have no place to go, so he told them they could set up a tent at Pleasant View until they found a new home. They weren’t, however, paying rent. Tenants like that, he said, caused him problems by making a mess and refusing to clean up when ordered. Carter said he became aware of

the problem after a series of thefts he attributes to some of the people living at Pleasant View. “We know there are two or three people from up there that we keep an eye on whenever they come down,” Carter said. “We have to escort them through the store.” But theft is a common problem and can happen anywhere, Carter said. The real problem, he said, is that the owner of the motel should not be renting out the vehicles. “A lot of these people are downtrodden and I guess it is a catch-22 as there is no place for them to live,” he said. “I am sympathetic to a degree, but it’s hurting me and our company.” Pearcey said they are looking for a different place to live, but that it was not easy to find some’thing in

Summerland. His wife has a drug problem she is trying to kick and they just recently had a baby. He said they will not be allowed to bring the baby home unless they find a more suitable place to live. Another tenant living in the RV park said the landlord should be commended for trying to help people on low incomes and for giving them another option. He said people were happy to rent a vehicle if it meant they would have a roof over their head. He wished to remain anonymous because of concerns for his safety. Constable Jacques Lefebvre of the Summerland RCMP would not comment on the situation, except to state an investigation is underway.

Research station celebrates centennial For over 100 years what is now the Pacific Agri-Food Research Station has been a growing concern. The work that has been done at the centre during that time has had an

impact on agriculture around the globe ranging from pest control to species development and refinement. On Oct. 4, the the Pacific Agri-Food Research Station (PARC)

celebrated its 100th anniversary with a special open house. Scientists, technicians and field staff were at the event to teach people about apples, cherries and more through inter-

active exhibits and activities including guided field tours. The Summerland Research Station actually started out in 1909 when Sydney Fisher, the then federal minister of agri-

culture, visited Summerland at which time officials J.M. Robinson, H.C. Mellor and MP Martin Burrell urged him to set up an experimental farm in the area. See PARC Page 3

Citizens on the lookout Carla McLeod

Carla McLeod Summerland Review

Citizens on Patrol volunteers Ruth Manning, Annemarie Ruckel and Irene Meheriuk stand behind one of their warning signs.

“We are the eyes and the ears for the police.” That is how Annemarie Ruckel describes the Summerland Citizens on Patrol (COPS). She has been a member of this community service group since its inception in 1997. “I think we’ve made a difference,” she said. COPS currently have 27 members. On Friday and Saturday nights they pair up and go out in two cars to patrol the community. They cover all of the areas within the municipal boundaries. “We are the awareness for the RCMP, meaning we patrol, we watch, we look, we report,” explained Roy Cansdale, “But we are not hands on.” For the safety of these volunteers they are required to stay in their vehicles at all times. Their role is not to ticket anyone but only to record and report what they

see. “We help the RCMP. They can’t be everywhere. It is part of keeping the community safe,” said Irene Meheriuk. “They like us being there and we like to be out there helping them. They’re really supportive of us.” Constable Jacques Lefebvre of the Summerland RCMP detachment spoke of the Citizens on Patrol as being “very valued.” “They are extra eyes for us,” he said. COPS do more than just patrol. They also have a speed watch program. They set up a speed reader board and record the speeds of drivers passing by. They concentrate on school zones and other spots that the police identify as problem areas in regards to drivers speeding. Any excessive speeds noticed are recorded and the vehicle model and license number are given to the RCMP. A new program

do other stuff now,” quipped the president for COPS, Doug Hardman. He explained that when he first started patrolling ten years ago things were very different. “There were gangs of kids out then. One night there were a hundred kids in the park and it was a dangerous situation,” he said. “You very seldom see kids on the street anymore.” If a person wants to become a Citizen on Patrol, they must first contact the RCMP and have a background check done. Meetings are held once per month and the volunteers usually go out twice per month. “We do a lot of social activities within our group, like barbecues and we get together after meetings,” said Cansdale. “We have a good rapport within the whole group.” He said he believes this is one of the main reasons they retain their membership. While the core members of this group have been in it for the long term, they are always on the lookout for new volunteers to join them to be those extra eyes and ears for our police force.

that they have started is called Cell Watch. A sign is erected to warn drivers that COPS are in the area. They watch for distracted drivers. They are mainly watching for drivers using cell phones or who may be texting while driving. “We are also watching for people with food or beverages in their hands or even dogs can be a distraction,” said Ruth Manning. “If we see something obvious we take the license number and turn it into the RCMP.” Manning serves as the Recording Secretary for the group and said that they keep records of everything they see and do. Other services are also provided by this dedicated group of volunteers. As they patrol the community they make note of any street lights that they see burned out and give the information to the electrical department. ICBC provides COPS with all of the stolen cars in their data base on a weekly basis. The patrolling citizens keep a sharp eye out for these cars as they drive around the community. “We’ve brought crime to a standstill, so we have to

our pick

The value of agriculture Throughout Summerland’s history, agriculture has played a huge role in the community’s growth and development. On Saturday, the Pacific Agri-food Research Centre, an integral factor in local agriculture, marked its 100th anniversary. Over the past century, the scientists at the centre have developed some fruit varieties designed to grow well in our climate. They have also done other research into tobacco and cattle at various times over the years. Many of the common apple and cherry varieties in the province are the result of plant breeding efforts at the research facility. Other developments, not always as noticeable to the consumer, have also helped to increase production and improve efficiency for farmers. Today the Okanagan Valley is becoming known for grape growing and wine production and the centre’s scientists are working on some developments and research to assist with this branch of agriculture. Without the ongoing work of the research centre, farmers in the Okanagan would be at a disadvantage. Ongoing research is needed in order to ensure our fruit and grape production is workable, sustainable and economically viable. While the face of agriculture has changed over the years and will continue to change in the future, the importance of a strong agricultural sector cannot be ignored. And as new challenges face farmers, new solutions will be needed. The continuing work of the centre, in whatever form it takes in the future, will ensure a strong agricultural presence locally and beyond, for many years to come.

An upcoming forum on good governance will take place less than a month before the municipal election. At all times, especially in the lead-up to an election,it is important to have an understanding of governance and the ways one can become involved with the decision-making process. Good governance requires participation from everyone.

bad Oil a slippery slope for cities apples VICTORIA – Every year when B.C.’s municipal politicians get together to preach to the provincial cabinet, there comes a point in the maze of resolutions where things go sideways. Last year it was a misinformed, impossible demand to ban all traces of genetic engineering. Before that they thumbed their mobile phones and denounced wireless power Tom Fletcher meters. Both votes passed by narrow margins in a half-empty chamber, with many delegates focused on the serious community issues they are elected to address. This year it was a charge led by Burnaby to denounce the proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion. And this time it was defeated. Credit for this sudden attack of common sense goes largely to North Cowichan Coun. Al Siebring. Here’s part of his address to the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Whistler: “Ladies and gentlemen, we are elected to handle things like roads and water and sewer and land use, police, fire, garbage. We’re not here to talk about social policy, child poverty or heaven forbid, pipelines. “Those kinds of things dilute our credibility as an organization. We’re becoming a social policy activist group rather than a group of municipal politicians.

“Half of this resolutions book is stuff that’s outside of our purview…. If you want to do social policy, get your butt elected to the provincial legislature.” Burnaby, New Westminster, Victoria and Vancouver were undeterred. In tax-rich urban centres one can make a living at local politics. And grandstanding works. Burnaby Coun. Nick Volkow rattled off a jumbled history of refineries in his region, noting that the sole surviving Chevron plant is bringing in crude by trucks and trains because the 60-year-old pipeline is over-subscribed. He didn’t explain how stopping a pipeline upgrade would keep it open, or improve oil safety. Volkow repeated the protester myth that a new pipeline would introduce diluted bitumen to the coast. Trans Mountain started shipping dilbit in the late 1980s. Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar and others from along the Interior pipeline route pointed out another flaw. If southern cities want to wander outside their mandate to make this gesture, why target only this pipeline and ignore rail lines and highways that cross the same rivers and streams? Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan boasted that after his first court challenge to the National Energy Board was tossed out, his high-priced eco-lawyer found a constitutional angle. Cha-ching! Meanwhile, professional protesters bike-lock their necks to the fence at Burnaby’s

Westridge oil terminal, and a radical Simon Fraser University professor revives his Occupy Vancouver team to step up the ground war if courts falter. The comedy of all this was illustrated by Coun. Robin Cherbo from Nelson, who assured delegates he uses synthetic oil in his vehicle. Is that derived from organic sunflowers? And what significance does that gesture have compared with the gasoline and jet fuel that carried 1,200 delegates to Whistler? Cherbo assumes that Ottawa can simply direct Alberta’s oil industry to start refining all the heavy oil there. Half a century into this industrial mega-project, this stuff should just be banned from pipelines. Peace, man. This is why election-time posturing by local politicians is a slippery slope. Not only do they lack authority, they and their staff lack the required expertise and information. The Trans Mountain pipeline starts in Alberta and branches into the U.S. It is by definition federal jurisdiction. NEB hearings on its expansion continue, with expert input, especially on shipping risks, from the B.C. government, Green MLA Andrew Weaver and others. Municipal politicians should pipe down and defend their own performance. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca

The recent increase in the number of thefts of vehicles, motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles and trailers is a disturbing trend. The ongoing messages about locking and securing these items is important and can help to reduce the number of these thefts. Additionally, if anyone sees unusual or suspicious activity, please contact the RCMP or Crime Stoppers so those responsible can be caught and this trend can be stopped.

Time to check those smoke detectors

Dear Editor, An important fire safety program is in place in communities across British Columbia throughout Fire Prevention Week October 5-11, 2014, and extending over the entire month. I am writing to make all parents aware of the initiative and how they can help. Fire departments are working with teachers to educate children about the importance of properly functioning and installed smoke alarms. Watch for the test and replace your smoke alarm homework kit in your child’s backpack, which includes a home fire escape plan and test and replace fire safety checklist. The packages are designed to work in tandem with the website www. safeathome.ca/testandreplace. It is critical to know that working smoke alarms installed correctly throughout your home, double the chances of surviving a catastrophic house fire. To ensure your fam safety from fire, you must test your smoke alarms monthly to confirm

they are in proper working order. Smoke alarm batteries must be replaced with fresh ones at least once

per year. Also, smoke alarms do not last forever. If your smoke alarm is more than 10 years

old it must be replaced. Outdated alarms might not provide the protection you count on. Some

The early years

new models feature 10-year lithium batteries which never need to be changed and last the full life of the alarm.

Please be fire safe and test and replace your smoke alarms this Fire Prevention Week.

Prize-winning advice

Writing a winning essay for Fire Prevention Week has its perks. These four students (ca. early 1950s) not only won a distinctive Rotary trophy, they also got to ride in the fire truck and wear the classy hats. We don’t know what they wrote, but since affordable home smoke detectors weren’t readily available until around 1965, it’s safe to say the topic wasn’t the same as this year’s Fire Prevention Week theme, “Working smoke detectors save lives—test yours every month.” By following that advice, you could win the prize of your life.

Saying thank you to the farmers Dear Editor, As we approach Thanksgiving, I would like to extend my gratitude to all the farmers in our community who work tirelessly to grow our fruit, vegetables and flowers. Specifically I would like to thank the de Boer’s of Summerland Greenhouses

who have for more than a decade donated the beautiful flowers for our platforms and gardens; the McLeod’s of Bush Art Gardens who planted and watered the Canyon View platform planter at the Trout Creek Bridge for more than five years; Billy Boerboom of the Windmill Garden Centre & Apple

Barn who for the last few years has contributed hanging flower baskets for our station and apples to give away to passengers; the Selwood’s of The Market who donated a bounty of pumpkins, squash and gourds to decorate at Thanksgiving and the Nield’s who this year contributed apples and cornstalks

to help create our harvest décor for everyone to enjoy. Their contributions to the railway reflect the generous spirit of all farmers in Summerland. Let’s remember them during our Thanksgiving celebrations. Jo Ann Reynolds, Kettle Valley Steam Railway

about mining in BC lately. I have seen many letters, articles, comments/

discussions online and even heard from friends who have concerns and

think that maybe we don’t need mining in BC. I find this very disconcerting. Mining and exploration are critical to sustaining our provincial economy and creating jobs. Mining, and the businesses that service the mining and other resource industries, are the

real job creators in this province. The mining sector alone has the potential to create 17,000 new jobs in the coming years while the mineral exploration sector could create another 4,000 jobs. Not only does mining and exploration activity create jobs, in 2011

alone it generated $10 billion worth of economic activity in BC and provided $800 million worth of revenue for the government. The mining sector helps to generate the revenue the provincial government needs in order to be able to spend on the services that we, as

citizens, need and want. Rather than shooting ourselves in the foot by hinting that we should shut it down, let’s find ways to address concerns and make the industry even better than it is today. Jessica Verheyden North Vancouver

As the municipal election campaign begins, organizers of the Summerland Philosophers’ Cafe series will hold a discussion on positive civic engagement and good governance. The event will be held at the IOOF Hall on Wednesday, Oct. 22, from 7 to 9 p.m. It is organized by the Summerland Philosophers’ Cafe Planning Committee. Round table discussions will examine what good governance means, who has a voice in making decisions and how to ensure good governance. The conversation cafe will be held less than a month before Summerlanders go to the polls to elect the next municipal council and school trustees. Margaret Holler, one of the organ-

izers of the cafe, said the discussion on governance will look at broader issues than the present topics in local politics. “We don’t want it to be focussed on any one political issue,” she said. Barbara Thorburn, another of the organizers, said good governance includes transparency, accountability and accessibility. “People are feeling more and more alienated from the levels of government,” Holler added. At the start of the evening, Kelly Marshall, administrator of the Summerland Credit Union, will give a presentation about the governance model in place at the credit union. For most of the evening, those present will share their thoughts and insights about good governance.

Throne speech

Pool photo/Canadian Press

Premier Christy Clark meets Lt. Governor Judith Guichon for presentation of the throne speech at B.C. legislature.

Throne speech focus on LNG and teachers Tom Fletcher Black Press Premier Christy Clark’s government launched its fall legislative session Monday with a speech from the throne offering progress on resource trade, partnership with aboriginal people and labour peace with public school teachers. The speech described B.C. following the same path to Asia for liquefied natural gas as it did in expanding lumber trade when the U.S. housing market declined. “Like forestry, B.C.’s natural gas industry has relied on exports to the United States,” said the speech, read by Lt. Governor Judith Guichon. “But the American shale gas revolution has meant the export south has dried up – and is never coming back.” The gas industry employs 1,700 people in the Fort Nelson area alone, and can be maintained only by reaching Asian markets. The speech notes that Chinese LNG consumption rose by a fifth in the first half of 2014. “This is a chance – not a windfall,” the speech notes, after one of the leading investment groups warned of shifting conditions that could delay its participation. Clark told reporters after the speech that talks continue with Petronas, leader of one of the largest of 15 current LNG pro-

posals, with a pipeline and gas export facilities planned for the B.C. north coast. “We are good at negotiating in this government,” Clark said. “We’ve got a good record. We’re going to keep negotiating hard.” The government plans to table framework legislation this month to define the environmental standards and tax structure for the industry, which has more than a dozen international players considering LNG development. NDP leader John Horgan said it’s been a year since the government first promised a tax structure for LNG, and now with a deadline looming at of the end of October, Clark is trying to back away from 2013 election promises to retire B.C.’s debt and slash taxes based on LNG revenue. “I think we gave away our bargaining power when it comes to liquefied natural gas,” Horgan said. “Everyone in the sector knows that the premier is way out on a branch and made commitments that she cannot keep.” The speech described the recent six-year labour agreement with B.C. teachers after a strike that stretched from spring to the early weeks of the fall school term. “British Columbia can look forward to five years of labour peace,” the speech said. “This is unprecedented. We cannot let this opportunity pass.”

Over the course of his 35-year career, Dr. Gary Judd, an entomologist at the Pacific AgriFood Research Centre (PARC) in Summerland, has contributed to the evolution of agricultural pest management — from the 1970s, when pesticides were the go-to resource for managing pests, to the environmentally-friendly approaches Judd researches today, which are nonchemical and targeted at specific pests so they don’t impact crops or other organisms. Judd has been a research scientist at PARC since 1989, and focuses his work on managing pests that damage tree fruit crops in the Okanagan. He specializes in insect chemical ecology, with a large amount of his research applied to understanding the biological and behavioural responses of insects to their sex pheromones — the unique chemicals members of an insect species use to communicate with each other — and he applies this knowledge and synthetic copies of these pheromones to control insects by disrupting communication between male and female insects, thereby preventing the mating process. Collaboration also plays a big part in the sucess of the research. Judd has also lent his expertise to a number of innovative projects aimed at controlling pests using targeted, non-chemical approaches. Examples of his work include researching and consulting with the Okanagan-Kootenay Sterile Insect Release (SIR) Program — “simply put, a very large birth control program,” said Judd — which raises, sterilizes, and releases codling moths to breed with the wild population, thereby reducing the number of successfully fertilized eggs produced with each successive generation. The Okanagan SIR Program is Canada’s only commercial sterile insect program for cod-

ling moth, the world’s key apple pest, and is also one of the most unique pest management programs because it involves collaboration between scientists, citizens and the agriculture community. Thanks to this program and scientists like Judd, growers in the Okanagan region can often go many years without needing to spray any pesticides for codling moth in their orchards. “If we can reduce pests and reduce the use of pesticides in a way that is economical for the grower, we can see the benefits everywhere — from the health of the orchards and the financial stability of farmers to the quality of the apples and juice you feed your children. I am happy to be a part of that, said Judd. Pest problem? There’s an app for that. Judd is also involved with Vancouver-based start-up SemiosBIO Technologies, developing a pest management system that will allow producers to control aerosol delivery of pheromones on demand using wireless communications systems, in order to disrupt pest mating practices. The system also has wireless add-ons such as automated camera traps, water sensing devices, and weather monitoring equipment that will help producers manage their crops. “Gary Judd has been an invaluable resource for us,” said Dr. Michael Gilbert, Founder and CEO of SemiosBIO. “ As one of the foremost researchers in pheromone technologies in the world, Judd’s experience has helped develop and test future technologies that may provide the impetus to introduce pheromones on a worldwide scale.” AAFC leads research, development and knowledge transfer activities in agri-innovations to enhance both the economic and environmental sustainability of Canadian agriculture.

Van Alphen looks to add another four years John Arendt For the past 12 years Linda Van Alphen has been a school trustee for School District 67. She has once again put her name forward to run in the upcoming election. “This is the job I love to do. I don’t want to do anything else. It’s the most fulfilling thing I’ve ever done,” she said. Van Alphen believes Summerland is a unique community and deserves more. “The revitalization of the gymnasium has been on the books since I came. We have a weight training room that is deplorable,” she said. “We need to also connect to technology. We’ve got absolutely amazing teachers that are working in that frustrating bubble where they can’t connect. We are working on it.”

The rewards for her years of service have been some of the new programs that have been put in place, one of which has been bringing in french immersion. Working in partnerships with others is “huge” for Van Alphen. She attributes her success to the different groups of people she has partnered with. Because of the negotiated deal and contract that is now in place for the teachers, Van Alphen sees the next five years as an opportunity for everyone to work together and do some amazing things for Summerland. “We just have to be strong and be excited. That’s what trustees are supposed to be about,” explained Van Alphen. “We can be effective if we are a strong Summerland team.”

Linda Van Alphen is seeking another term on the SD67 board.

Carla McLeod Summerland Review

Julie Planiden is hoping to move from Parents Advisory Councils to the school board.

Planiden seeking school board seat John Arendt Seeing first hand the challenges that school districts face throughout the province, has prompted Julie Planiden to seek election as School Trustee. She has served on Parent Advisory Councils in six different districts over the past 13 years, since her oldest daughter was in kindergarten. She has served on the Advisory Council in Summerland since 2008 and with a daughter still in school, may do so for some time yet. “I would like the opportunity to be a really strong voice for Summerland within our district, but also provincially,” she said. “I think Summerland is a really unique place and we have an opportunity because we’re small and there is a huge sense of community here. I’d like to build on that through any opportunities I have as a School trustee.” Planiden is proud to be from a place that has the kind of young people that are found in Summerland. “I think we have lots and lots of young people who are doing incredible things.” She hopes to make a difference for all students in this district and hopefully bring about improvements in learning and the experiences that students are having, thus leading to their success. “I think being a strong voice is really important and working together to make the opportunities for students in Summerland that much more available.”

Contenders return with new music John Arendt When legendary B.C. musicians Valdy and Gary Fjellgaard perform at Centre Stage on Nov. 1, they will have some new music in addition to their old favourites. The two have performed in the Okanagan Valley, including Summerland, each year since 2001. Both musicians are working on some new music which they will include in this year’s concert. Valdy said one of the songs he will perform is Oh Tom, We Miss You, in honour of Canadian performer Stompin’ Tom Connors, who died last year. “I didn’t know Tom well, but he was a poster boy for a lot of us who tour,” Valdy said. Connors is remembered as much for his personality as for his music, Valdy added. “What he did was unique to Canada. In addition to the new music,

the two will also include new styles and instruments in the concert. Valdy has been playing a fivestring bass while Fjellgaard has added the mandolin to his music in recent years. Valdy and Fjellgaard, who perform together as the Contenders, have distinct musical styles. Valdy’s background is as a folk musician while Fjellgaard is a country performer. Their songs as the Contenders are written by both, as a collaborative effort. Valdy said audiences often want them to perform their earlier music, since the songs were meaningful at certain points in their lives. “It’s wonderful to see what the music can do,” he said. The concert will be at Centre Stage in Summerland on Saturday, Nov. 1, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at Martin’s Flowers in Summerland.

The 15th Annual Comedy Fest raised more than $23,000 for the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan Similkameen with all funds going to support the many community building activities of the foundation including the biannual Vital Signs Report, the YES Project, 100

Women Who Care, the Community Knowledge Centre, and the forthcoming Random Act of Kindness Day. “It is the support of those local business who donated items for both our live and silent auctions that made this night a success because it allows us to continue the

work we do in Penticton and throughout the South Okanagan Similkameen region,” said Aaron McRann, Executive Director, Community Foundation of the South Okanagan Similkameen. “Each year this event gets better and better with many laughout-loud moments,” added McRann.

Petronas gives B.C. deadline for LNG deal Tom Fletcher Black Press Malaysia’s stateowned energy company has issued another public warning to the B.C. government that it could push back its investment in liquefied natural gas by 10 or 15 years. Petronas CEO Shamsul Azhar Abbas issued a statement Monday describing a softening global market for natural gas and oil, and renewing criticisms made public in September about Canada’s tax and environment rules. The latest shot across the bow from the leader of B.C.’s largest LNG project comes as the B.C. legislature meets for a rare fall session. The government’s main business in the two-month sitting is

to authorize a provincial tax on LNG exports in addition to the royalties paid to the province for gas from northeastern B.C. “The proposed fiscal package and regulatory pace in Canada threatens the global competitiveness of the Pacific Northwest LNG project,” Abbas said. “This is further exacerbated by preliminary project costs, which indicates cost of local contractors to be higher and not benchmarked to global contractor’s cost.” Premier Christy Clark and Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman met with Petronas last week and agreed to have the tax arrangements completed by the end of October, allowing an investment deci-

sion by the end of the year. The consortium led by Petronas also has to pass provincial environment assessment, including air pollution limits on its gas-fired LNG compressors. The project has marine impacts from its proposed terminal on Lelu Island near Prince Rupert, which requires approval of Fisheries and Oceans Canada for its effect on salmon and ocean habitat. Petronas is leading a consortium that includes Chinese, Japanese, Indian and Brunei investors for a pipeline and LNG processing in northern B.C. Petronas paid $5 billion last year to take over Progress Energy Canada, which has major shale gas holdings in northeast B.C. and Alberta.

Elected officials in Ottawa and at home One subject that has come up recently is question period in large part because of a questionable exchange last week between a Parliamentary Secretary and the Leader of the Official Opposition. The episode in question led to a subsequent apology from the Parliamentary Secretary in question and a motion this week to potentially change part of how question period works with respect to the ability of the Speaker to engage in interventions during question period. This is a subject that could easily fill many reports however to focus on the positive aftermath there has been a noticeable change in tone on both sides of the House as questions and answers have become far more focussed towards what most would agree is the original purpose of question period. It is also fair to say that this epi-

Ottawa RepORt

Dan Albas sode has served as a reminder that elected officials are ultimately held to account by the citizens who elect us. If Members of the House engage in the use of profanity or otherwise make comments that demean the House in turn we demean those whom we represent. I believe that all elected officials should be mindful of the need to take responsibility for our own behaviour and conduct ourselves in a manner that honours the good people we represent. While on the sub-

ject of elected officials as the nomination period for candidates in local elections is soon to close I would like to sincerely thank mayors, councillors, regional district directors and school district trustees who are not seeking re-election for their past service. Local Government, as it is often called, is a huge commitment and often a thankless one – overall we enjoy a high quality of life in our region and this is in large part for the ongoing efforts of local government to provide amenities and services that we depend upon. I would also like to welcome those citizens who are putting their name forward to run in the upcoming election to serve. Win or lose having the courage to make a difference is ultimately how we all succeed. I can be reached at Dan.Albas@parl. gc.ca or toll free at 1-800-665-8711.

Fintry Queen on the move Steve Kidd

Carla McLeod Summerland Review

Helping hands

Summerland Citizens on Patrol (COPS) donated three two-way radios to the Agur Lake Camp last week. The radios are no longer compatible for use in working with the RCMP, but will be very useful for people travelling the road to Agur Lake, as a way of communicating with the logging trucks also using the road. Pictured here from left are Ruth Manning, Doug Hardman, Mirjana Komljenovic, Beth Bonten and Roy Cansdale.

The Fintry Queen may be plying the waters of Okangan Lake again by next summer. But this time, it will be making its home port in the South Okanagan, rather than Kelowna. Monday night, Penticton city council directed their staff to enter into a five-year agreement with the Okanagan Lake Boat Company over a water lot west of the Kiwanis Pier on the Okanagan Lakeshore. Andy Schwab, who bought the boat out of receivership in 2012, plans to build a $300,000 dock next to the pier to moor the

boat. When he first appeared before council in Nov. 2013, he estimated 28,000 passengers in the first year of operations, operating over a three-month period, and escalating to eventually operating the boat almost year round. The agreement proposed by council reflects Schwab’s plans to grow the business, at a rate of $5,000, $10,000, $15,000 per year over the first three years, and $20,000 per year for years four and five. Schwab said the Fintry Queen, which has been moored off Kelowna for the last nine years, really only needs a paint job to restore it to its former glory.

Bruce Haley said in the release. The suspects fled in a late model, fourdoor car, possibly a Volkswagen, which was turquoise in colour. The driver is described as white, six-foot-two, 220 pounds, with brown hair, a pronounced

beer belly, and a bit of French accent. He was wearing a longsleeve sweat shirt, blue jeans and had on a baseball cap. The second suspect is described as white, five-footeight, 170 pounds with brown hair. He wore a T-shirt with artwork on it, blue jeans and a ball cap. Summerland RCMP are asking anyone with information about the incident to call the detachment at 250494-7416 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS.

Cadets take on Crossfit Air Cadets from 902 Summerland took advantage of one of Summerland’s local physical fitness establishments this week. Thanks to the generous donation from CrossFit South Okanagan, the cadets were given a one hour session with personal trainer Séan Cassidy. Cassidy took the cadets through a range of body movements and gave some education on the importance of technique and mobility to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. Towards the end of the session the cadets were then put through a workout of the day, or WOD for short. The workout had the cadets moving and working hard but at the end of it everyone was all smiles.

Physical fitness is one of the three aims of the air cadet program. The squadron staff are always searching new and fun ways to ensure the cadets stay active. CrossFit workouts incorporate elements from high-intensity interval training, Olympic weightlifting, plyometrics, powerlifting, and gymnastics. CrossFit, in addition to working out, is about teamwork and community. 902’s CrossFit session is just one of the fun and exciting activities the Squadron has planned for the 2014-2015 training year. 902 is now accepting applications for youth aged 12-18 to join air cadets. 902 parades regularly Wednesday evening from 6:15 to 9:30 p.m. at the Harold Simpson

Memorial Youth Centre located at 9111 Peach Orchard Road in Summerland. For more information about the air cadets in Summerland please visit their website at 902aircadets.ca and like their Facebook page at www.facebook. com/902aircadets.

the game unassisted. Kelowna tried to step up their game in the second, but goaltender Ben Bowyer remained solid between the pipes, as Will Gray scored another unassisted goal for a 2-0 lead. Heavy traffic in front of Bowyer’s net gave Kelowna the opportunity to slip one in to make it 2-1. After the ice clean, Liam Trewhitt fired one in to make it 3-1 with the assist to Steve Sauer. Third period action showed off Summerland’s passing ability and teamwork with a goal by Remy Houde assisted by Mereno Coco and Ty Sideroff.

Schools keep up tradition Carla McLeod Even though they were late this year, due to the school closures in September, the students from the Summerland Middle School did not let that deter them from honouring Terry Fox and the Marathon of Hope. The school held a week of special activities that encouraged students to help raise money for the cause. Friday

morning they gathered for an assembly in order to celebrate Terry Fox and his legacy and to take away the lessons that they have learned from his life. After cheering and rallying, the students themselves set out on a one kilometre run around town, led by Assistant Fire Chief Rob Robinson in one of the Fire Department’s fire trucks.

LaMarsh, Georgina passed away peacefully on October 1, 2014 at the age of 77 years with her family by her side. Gina will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her children Joe, Jennette (Steve), Donna, Fred (Wendy), Katherine (Andre), Carl (Michelle), Donna Lynn (Chris), Dana (James), 19 grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren, sister Lillian. Gina was sadly predeceased by her husband Carl, parents Lilias McCauley, John Marshall, her sister Doris, brother in laws, Jerry and Buck. She was married to our dad for over 50 years. They travelled significantly as snowbirds for 5 years before settling in Summerland. She loved camping, gardening, baking, sewing and especially enjoyed her beautiful backyard. She loved to contribute to the community by donating handmade knitted slippers, toys and money to various organizations. Gina enjoyed being a mother and was cherished by all who knew her. She was a generous, understanding and loving person who was always there whenever we needed her. Most of all she loved spending time with her family. “We love you Mom. You will forever be in our hearts.” Prayers were held 7:30 pm., Sunday, October 5th, 2014 followed with the Mass of Christian Burial, 10:00 am., October 6th, 2014 from the Holy Child Catholic Church, 14010 Rosedale Ave. Summerland, BC.

Summerland Review Thursday, October 9, 2014

Time to get a start on Christmas crafts In addition to operating an Art Gallery with six different shows a year the Summerland Community Arts Council also offers workshops for children, youth and adults. The after school workshops for children got underway a few weeks ago and the fall season of workshops for adults beginning in two weeks. The first one is on the weekend of October 18 and 19 and

Arts PAlette

David Finnis is an Introduction to Jewellery Making with Susan Scott. Participants will

have the opportunity to spend a full day learning basic techniques to shape and manipulate wire and sheet into various components. On the second day you will be able to put your new skills to work to design and complete your own personal jewellery project. The following Saturday, October 25 Bethany Handfield will be back to teach a course entitled Exploring Encaustic:

Texture on Cradled Panel. You are invited to join her for an afternoon learning how to create texture with encaustic on cradled panel. The workshop will cover the basics of applying encaustic, fusing layers, and exploring different ways of creating texture. A short video clip by ShawTV Okanagan on one of Bethany’s shows at the old Art Gallery can be found on the SCAC website under

Main Gallery - previous shows. If you are interested in watercolour painting there will be a one day workshop on November 1. This one day class will show you a variety of techniques to tackle your next great painting. The final workshop of the fall will be on

Saturday, November 15 and again will be lead by Susan Scott. Learn how to make a metal Christmas Ornament to hang on your tree or give as a gift. No experience necessary, just come prepared to play. More details on these workshops, including times, prices and supplies

can be found by visiting http://summerlandarts.com or visiting the Arts Centre at 9908 Main Street. The Arts Palette is written by David Finnis, publicity chair and president of the Summerland Community Arts Council, PO Box 1217, 9908 Main Street, Summerland, B.C. V0H 1Z0

LAVISTA OPEN HOUSE

Studies in light The opening reception for Magic Light, An interplay of Light, Shade and Colour was held last Thursday evening at the Summerland Community Arts Centre. The paintings by Doug Wilson will be on display until November 15. The artist has captured in his work the subtle shades of morning light, the rich colors of the late afternoon and the muted colors through fog and mist.
