Fire risk escalates

by John Arendt

Traffic was backed up on Highway 97 north of Summerland on Monday afternoon following a two-vehicle accident.

The accident occurred at 4:04 p.m. around five kilometres north of Sum-merland

A 2011 Freightliner

tractor with a flatbed trailer and hauling lum-ber overturned when the driver failed to negotiate a right-hand curve.

The tractor, trailer and spilled lumber skidded into the north lanes, for-cing the driver of a 2010 Toyota Corolla over the embankment.

The Toyota came to rest

on an access road below the highway.

The driver of the truck was taken to Kelowna General Hospital with injuries which were not life-threatening.

The 56-year-old driv-er of the Toyota and his 15-year-old daughter, from Alberta, were taken to Penticton Regional

Hospital where they were treated for minor cuts and bruises.

Traffic was backed up for several kilometres in each direction during the clean-up and inves-tigation into the acci-dent.

The highway was then opened to single-lane alternating traffic until

11:35 p.m.The investigation is

continuing.Cst. Jordan Luscombe

of the RCMP said speed is believed to have been a factor.

The corner has been the site of other serious accidents in the past, Lus-combe said.

Highway accidentFirefighters worked to clean up an accident on Highway 97 north of Summerland on Monday afternoon. A semi trailer with a load of lumber toppled while negotiating a corner along the highway.

John Arendt Summerland Review

by John Arendt

Hot and dry conditions in the South Okanagan have increased the risk of wildfires this summer.

So far, the Penticton Fire Zone, which includes Summerland, has had 12 wildfires since April 1, destroying a total of 67 hectares.

The 10-year average for this time of year is 33 fires, destroying 179

hectares.Kayla Pepper, fire

information officer with the Kamloops Fire Cen-tre, said the fire risk near Summerland is high near the lake and moderate elsewhere, although the risk is rising.

“We are beginning to see conditions changing in the area,” she said. We have seen some record-breaking temperatures in July, which caused

the fuel danger rating to escalate.”

Wind is also a factor in the risk of fires, she said.

Normally, half the wildfires in the region are caused by human activity and half are caused by nature, such as lightning activity.

This year, lightning activity has been low and all the fires so far have been caused by people.

To reduce the risk of

fires, campers are urged to build small campfires, no greater than half a metre wide and half a metre tall. They should also have at least eight litres of water nearby and the tools necessary to put out a fire.

Fires can also spread quickly in windy condi-tions.

All-terrain vehicle operators should take care when they are in

nature since the heat from their vehicle exhausts can ignite dry grasses.

Smokers should make sure their cigarettes are completely extin-guished

Those who see wild-fires or non-compliant behaviour which could result in a wildfire should call 1-800-663-5555 or *555 on most cellular net-works.

This letter is long overdue and with the recent

negative press as of late, I felt compelled to

write to you and put a bit of a different spin

on things and give our opinion concerning

the care at SSV.

My mother Melva Austin, moved into SSV

about 3 years ago this spring. I have to tell

you she is having the time of her life. She

loves all the care aides and staff. I’ve seen

them hug her and tease her (which she thrives

on) and always treat her with respect and

caring. She has some early dementia issues

and doesn’t always remember to sign up for

things so she is invited on a more personal

level so she doesn’t miss out on anything.

She loves the food and the servers. She loves

the entertainment and she loves the gab

sessions in the bistro. She is far more active

and engaged now than if she were still on

her own. Our family thanks you all! We are

so lucky to have such a wonderful facility in

our little city and I am so grateful to you all.

I personally feel that it is my responsibility to

continue being very involved in my mother’s

everyday life and that together with you, her

happiness and well being is so much easier

for my family to achieve. I have complete

faith that she is in excellent competent caring

hands and that alone is such a relief for me.

Without SSV I honestly shudder to think

what would happen to some of the elderly

folk in our community. No system is ever

perfect and unfortunately some accidents

will happen as is the case with all of the

facilities in Summerland. This is why we all

have to work together and even the residents

themselves must show some responsibility.

I guess in closing I just want to say thank

you all for your professionalism and kindness

with my mother and my family.

You truly are appreciated,Heather Stuckey

A massive wildfireThe Okanagan Mountain fire of 2003 destroyed more than 26,000 hec-tares. Other fires in the region have also come close to homes and com-munities.

Summerland Review file photo

Okanagan Val-ley residents are no strangers to wildfires, including some dev-astating blazes which have come close to communities in the area.

The biggest in recent memory was in 2003, when a wild-fire in Okanagan Mountain Provin-cial Park, on the east side of Okanagan Lake, resulted in the destruction of more than 26,000 hectares and the evacuation of 27,000 residents.

The fire began on Aug. 16, 2003.

Firefighters from 60 fire departments, 1,400 armed forces

troops and 1,000 for-est fire fighters were at the scene.

Jim Mottishaw, for-est prevention officer with the Penticton Fire Zone, said the largest fires in the Okanagan tend to happen on the east side of Okanagan Lake, where drying conditions are great-er.

“All the large fires are on that side of the lake,” he said.

On the west side of Okanagan Lake, the Glenrosa fire of 2009 and the Peach-land fire of 2012 were much smaller, between 1,000 and 2,000 hectares each.

The Garnet Fire in Penticton, which began July 29, 1994, resulted in 5,500 hec-tares of damage.

In Summerland, the Giant’s Head Mountain fire, on Aug. 15, 1996 destroyed around 55 hectares on the east side of the mountain. It came as close as 15 metres from some of the homes in the area.

Mottishaw said Summerland has a community wildfire protection plan in place.

In addition, the orchards also provide a degree of protec-tion.

Okanagan has history of fires

Marijuana vote gets green light

by Tom FletcherBlack Press

VICTORIA – Elec-tions BC has given approval in principle to marijuana activist Dana Larsen’s bid to lead a petition drive for decriminalizing marijuana possession.

Larsen has pro-posed that B.C. go around the federal law with a “Sens-ible Policing Act” that would disallow the use of B.C. police resources to prosecute simple possession of small amounts of pot

by adults. This fall, Larsen will be allowed to begin collecting sig-natures in an effort to force an initiative vote similar to that used to reverse the harmon-ized sales tax.

Individuals and groups have until Aug. 12 to register with Elections BC to oppose the initiative, run ads for or against the petition or collect signatures.

Larsen, who was involved with the B.C. Marijuana Party before seeking the

leadership of the B.C. NDP in 2011, has worked for the last year to build support for what he calls Sens-ible BC. His organiza-tion will have 90 days from Sept. 9 to collect signatures from 10 per cent of registered provincial voters in each of B.C.’s 85 elec-toral districts.

If that threshold is reached, Elections BC would hold a prov-ince-wide initiative vote, likely by mail as was done to repeal the HST.

Lawyers as Politicians

With the by-election happening just up the road in Kelowna, I have received a lot of good natured ribbing about the inordinate amount of lawyers who run for public office in this country. Well it's true, people who have chosen the legal profession as careers do seem to run for public office more than most other career paths. Whether or not this is a good thing is not mine to determine. Our form of government allows almost anyone to run for office and that is a very good thing.What every person should do as they approach an election is to really find out who the candidates are. Remember that campaign slogans, sound bites and political resumes are really just advertisements for the candidates or their party. They are telling you what they think you want to hear in order to get elected. Find out what each of the candidates have actually done. Actions speak much louder than words. Did they stick to the promises they made in prior campaigns, or abandon them as soon as they were elected? Did they actually contribute to all those groups and clubs and positions they say they held or did they just put in time? Ask the people they deal with on a daily basis what kind of people they are. Only then will you be able to make the proper choice for your representative.

Vehicle rolloverA single-vehicle rollover on Saturday evening narrowly missed a parked car and a basketball stand. The accident occurred on Prairie Valley Road east of Morrow Avenue. Children had vacated the private basketball court just minutes before the accident. The young male driver appeared to have only minor cuts and bruises.

Summerland has received more than

$200,000 through the province’s Strategic Community Invest-ment Fund and traffic

fine revenues.The funding,

announced last week, provides the com-

munity with $168,084 from the Small Com-munity Investment Fund and another

$36,198 from traffic fine revenues.

The small com-munity grants are

given to local gov-ernments to assist in providing basic ser-vices while the traffic fine revenue is used to assist communities with police enforce-ment costs.

“These funds help local governments invest in priority projects that benefit everyone,” said Dan Ashton, MLA for the Penticton riding which includes Sum-merland.

“They also support important day-to-day operations and ser-vices that local resi-dents rely on.”

Lorrie Coates, chief financial officer for Summerland, said the Small Commun-ity Investment Fund grant will go to the municipality to be

used where it is most needed.

The traffic revenue funding will go to pay a portion of policing costs in Summerland, but it is not desig-nated for anything more specific within the policing budget, Coates said.

The amount of the traffic revenue grant is based on policing costs.

The Small Com-munity Investment Fund grant, for com-munities of less than 20,000 people is cal-culated using a base amount, the commun-ity’s population and assessment values.

Across the prov-ince, funding of $56.2 million was distrib-uted to communities and regional districts.

Grant worth $200K presented

VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark didn’t win a seat in time to join her 48 fellow B.C. Lib-eral MLAs in the legislature for the summer session she ordered up.

By the time the byelection in Westside-Kelowna is certified by Elections B.C., Clark will be off to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. to meet with her fellow premiers in what is now loftily called the Council of the Federation.

These gatherings used to be called First Ministers’ Confer-ences, and there was a set rit-ual, largely designed for the consumption of network tele-vision.

Provincial premiers ganged up on the prime minister to demand federal “funding” for every conceivable need, just as municipal leaders get togeth-er each year to present their demands to the B.C. govern-ment.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper ended the show, declin-ing to play the role of villain in this bit of political summer stock theatre, and it’s unlikely that any future national lead-er would reverse this prudent decision.

The result, at least among western premiers, has been a quieter, more pragmatic effort to work together, rather than clumsy attempts to play a shell game with taxpay-ers’ pockets.

The public got tired of this routine some time ago. I don’t need a poll to tell me this is one of the reasons for the decline in voter participation and engage-ment in issues.

Today, politicians frequently remind themselves out loud that there is “only one taxpay-er” supporting the squabbling layers of this over-governed country.

And yet, the same mistake keeps being made over and over by opposition politicians, and dutifully reported by the news media.

The notion that all problems can and should be solved by “more government funding” is now so engrained in our education system that it seems inescapable.

One of the NDP’s big “gotcha” items last week was the failure of the B.C. govern-ment to buy the latest sonar technology to locate and recover the bodies of people who have drowned in one of our thousands of lakes and riv-ers.

As with the health-care sys-tem, as soon as something is invented, some assume a right to it, regardless of cost.

Another big opposition tar-get was the province’s failure to buy up remote properties in the Kootenays that have been discovered to be at high risk of further landslides such as the one that swept through a year ago.

The question of limits for protecting people who choose to build homes in risky loca-tions seldom comes up in our political-media theatre.

The media’s key ingredi-ents are sympathetic victims to fit their narrative that all corporations and governments are greedy, stingy, callous and incompetent in everything they do.

What the opposition has dubbed “Christy Clark’s wheelchair tax” is another case in point.

A Fraser Health Author-ity official patiently explained what was really going on here.

An average $35 monthly rent for wheelchairs is charged at the majority of care facilities, which are contracted by the health authority.

Operators charge as they see fit for maintenance, disinfec-tion and replacement of this equipment, for patients who don’t own their own chairs.

In September, a $25 fee is to be extended to the few facili-ties still directly run by Fra-ser Health, which have aging equipment and no fees. In all facilities, the fee is waived for those who can’t afford it.

It would be useful for our politicians to frankly discuss the trend towards contracted health services, and the role of user fees in forcing people to take more responsibility for maintaining their own health.

But that is not what hap-pens. The narrative of dump-ing frail, impoverished seniors from their wheelchairs has no relationship to reality, but it’s how post-modern political the-atre is done.

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

A motorist found to be impaired while driving will face some signifi-cant penalties.

Fines, driv-ing prohibi-tions and vehicle sus-pensions are to be expected.

Despite these prohibitions, some drivers still insist on driving while intoxicated.

Such behaviour makes no sense, yet it continues to happen far too frequently.

Please leave the car in the driveway if you have been drinking.

trafficTraffic came to a halt on

Highway 97 on Monday after-noon as a result of an acci-dent north of Summerland.

The accident, involving a lumber truck and a car, did not result in any critical injuries, but it illustrates once more some ongoing concerns about the highway.

The area where Monday’s accident occurred is one which has been the site of other similar accidents in the past.

Each time a truck tips in this area, it stops or at the very least slows down traffic.

While Monday’s accident was significant, it could have been much worse.

If the load of lumber on the truck had spilled into the road instead of primarily over the embankment, it would have resulted in a lengthy clean-up and a much longer delay for the motorists.

As it was, the delay was noticeable. Traffic was backed up for several kilo-metres in both directions and when the road was final-ly reopened, it was alternat-ing single-lane traffic until 11:35 p.m.

Highway 97 serves as the main arterial road in the Okanagan Valley. In many places, it is the only direct way to get from one community to the next.

If the highway is blocked, drivers must wait or take a lengthy detour far out of the way.

Several years ago, the highway was widened to four lanes, bringing some much-needed relief to the growing problem of traffic conges-tion.

Traffic now flows much more smoothly than in the past and the road is also safer than it was, although there are still some hazard areas.

As a long-term plan, it is time to start looking at whether an alternate route is needed to connect Okanagan communities, in case a large-scale accident in the future brings traffic to a halt on Highway 97.

The early years

Early Musical Rider?All he needs is a hat and a horse and Jackie S. will be ready to join the RCMP Musical Ride. In fact, when he showed up at the event in Penticton in 1959, one of the policemen scooped him up and gave him a horseback ride to the centre of the field. It’s unsure if the little boy was anxious or elated, but one thing is certain—the RCMP Musical Ride is a thrilling, not-to-be-missed exhibition, even if you don’t get to ride a horse. On Saturday, July 20, head for the South Okanagan Events Centre, experience a true Canadian event and support the Summerland Rodeo Grounds Equine Development Committee. It’s a must-see.

Dear Editor:If you’re a landlord or

if you lease property in Summerland, you have probably run into the fol-lowing problem.

The District of Sum-merland purchases elec-tricity from Fortis BC at a set rate per kilowatt hour. The district then charges their customers for the electricity they use.

It is one of the few communities in B.C. that does this – for a fee.

If you’re a tenant you would have signed an agreement with the muni-cipality giving them your name and address and your landlord’s name and address – simple as that.

As a tenant you would have received a monthly bill and you would have remitted payment to the municipality, not Fortis.

If you couldn’t or didn’t

make payment within 30 days, you would have had that amount added on to your next month’s bill.

However, after one month’s non payment the tenant would have received a notice saying that his utility services would be disconnect-ed if payment was not received forthwith.

Perhaps you were hav-ing additional financial problems and you decid-ed to find your fortune somewhere else.

Unfortunately some-body has to pay – in Sum-merland’s case the muni-cipality simply sends the bill to the landlord – a bill that could be as much as two months worth, and an additional amount for turning the power back on.

Perhaps the tenant

didn’t pay his phone bill either– in that case Telus or Shaw or whoever your phone company is took the hit.

If you were a natural gas customer, Terasen Gas, a subsidiary of Fortis, would have taken the loss.

In both cases, these companies absorbed the loss, not the land-lord, because the con-tracts were signed with them. So why is it that a contract signed by a ten-ant with the Summerland municipality makes the landlord foot the bill?

None of the other util-ity providers do that.

Since the district is act-ing as a sub contractor, it too should be suffering the loss for non-payment, not the landlord.

Doesn’t seem fair.Frank Martens

Billing system appears unfair

Dear Editor:Re: Get ready for

Hydro rate hikes (B.C. Views, July 11).

Tom Fletcher’s article reiterates what we have been told for some time.

A large part of the future B.C. Hydro rate increase is caused by the fact that expansion of generating facilities deliv-ers new power at a rate higher than today’s rates.

However, the govern-ment is bribing people to switch to electric cars, con-tributing to consumption increases which will cause rate increases for us all.

Provincial consump-tion is also high because, although the E-Plus contracts with residen-tial customers expired decades ago, the gov-ernment is choosing to grandfather the “half-price electric heat” offer for political reasons. Also, some large government buildings are still being heated this way.

At the same time, the minister is telling us that we are producing more natural gas than we need, so we should be con-suming large amounts of energy to compress it and

ship it overseas. Should the first step

not be to switch to natural gas-powered cars, natural gas heating for almost all homes where possible, and for all large govern-ment buildings?

The grant money for electric car purchases should be diverted to incentives for this move. Right now, electric cars are causing the burning of fuels at distant power plants anyway, because that is where our “last watt” comes from.

Rein NienaberSaanich

End electric car subsidies

Governments must control their borrowing

Dear Editor:Re: Get ready for Hydro rate hikes

(B.C. Views, July 11).Yes, the B.C. Hydro rate increase tsu-

nami is coming after the earthquake of B.C. government debt. This will hit lower income people – hard. All levels of government are increasing fees and service rates rather than raise income

taxes on those who can contribute more and pay more property tax.

I don’t want to see any drastic action to increase job loss, but governments at all levels need to limit their spending growth to the level of inflation and get borrowing under control.

Pilot project allows for additional time for teachers

by Joe FriesBlack Press

Adjustments of two school sched-ules in Penticton and Summerland will next year see occa-sional late starts for some students and afternoons off for others.

And while kids are out enjoying their free time, teachers will be putting their heads together under the new collaborative-time pilot project.

“ S u r p r i s i n g l y, with a staff of 70, it’s shocking how few opportunities there are to give teachers that chance to get together and share,” said Penticton Sec-ondary School princi-pal Alan Stel.

He said his teach-ers will be given one hour on 11 Wed-nesday mornings throughout the 2013-14 year to focus on themes like literacy and numeracy, and discuss how best to improve student achievement in those areas.

On those days, classes will start an hour later than usual at 9:33 a.m.

To make up for that lost instructional

time, four minutes will be added to each school day.

“Kids are not actually, literally losing any time; it’s teachers offering their time,” Stel explained, adding staff members voted 85 per cent in favour of trying the pilot project.

The model has

already been in place at Princess Margaret Secondary for four years, and its trial run at an elementary school is set for next year at Giant’s Head in Summerland.

Students there will be dismissed at 12:15 p.m. on six days throughout the year. Three minutes will be added to school days to cover that time.

Principal Darcy Mullin said he explained the chan-ges to the parent advisory council and at a public meeting, but still expects some working parents will be concerned about finding child care on those days.

He noted, however, that there is a daycare at the school and he’s been in touch with the town’s recreation department about adding programming on those days.

Teachers at Sum-merland Secondary School will also get collaborative time next year, although

it won’t require a schedule adjustment.

Instead, once a week for an hour, staff members there will split into two groups, one of which will share knowledge, while the other will supervise students. The groups will then switch places.

Leslea Pryde, presi-dent of the Okanag-an Skaha Teachers’ Union, said educators will use collaborative time for professional development related to school-based initia-tives, rather than the more personalized training they receive on regular profes-sional development days.

“We need to do that professional develop-ment to keep on top of new things coming out and research and whatnot,” she said. “And a lot of teachers take that on their own time and they spend their summers doing it as well.”

Pryde said the pro-vision of collabora-tive time is a growing trend in B.C. schools, although it’s relative-ly new in this district.

“Two heads are better than one, right? And if you work well with someone you can accomplish a lot more and you can gain a lot more from each other,” she said.

Meanwhile, the Okanagan Similka-meen School District will also next year try a similar pilot pro-ject.

To accommodate it, all students will be dismissed 90 minutes early on seven days.

Marieze Tarr, who chairs the school board, said syn-chronizing early dis-missal days across all schools will head off any problems with bus schedules.

She acknowledged the concept has got-ten a rough ride from some working par-ents, but said the dis-trict is working with local governments to provide extra recrea-tion activities.

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities

Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities.

Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in.

Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats.

Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help.

Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

One of the people named as a plaintiff in lawsuits stemming from a fatal crash involving a school bus said he was unaware of the legal action first reported earlier this month.

The B.C. Supreme Court in Victoria in May received separ-ate notices of claim from both John Watt and Elaine Tanner, who were injured in the June 2011 crash near Summerland that killed a man and sent nine students to hospital.

Their claims list the estate of John Borba, who died when his car slid into the path of the school bus, plus the Okanagan Skaha School District and the bus driver as defendants. It also alleges negligence on the part of all three

defendants and seeks an unspecified award for damages.

Watt on Thursday wrote in an email to Black Press that “some of this is news to me and Elaine,” because they were “not aware of any action” against the named defendants.

Both he and Tan-ner received medical treatment, and the car in which they were riding also suffered damage.

“Right after the accident and weeks later we tried to com-municate with ICBC on numerous occa-sions trying to settle this matter ourselves, leaving voice mail messages unreturned and finding it diffi-cult to talk and com-municate with the adjuster at that time,” Watt said.

“We got so frus-trated and fed up

we finally sought legal advice. I am not a lawyer or a legal expert by no means so we are not sure of all the details legally and why these par-ties are even men-tioned in any action. To our understand-ing it was just a legal claim against ICBC for damages.”

Watt said he and Tanner are upset that the three parties were named in the lawsuit and plan to discuss the matter further with their lawyer. He added that the story has stirred up painful memories for every-one involved and “looks like it sadly will continue.”

Ginny Manning, who chairs the board of the Okanagan Skaha School District, said she too was unaware of the lawsuits until hearing about them in the media.

It will be a cele-bration of all things equestrian when the RCMP Musical Ride comes to the region on Saturday.

Two shows on Sat-urday, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., will be held at the South Okanagan Events Centre in Pen-ticton.

In addition to the Musical Ride, Hearts of the West, a family of trick riders from Alberta, will also per-form.

An RCMP dog demonstration will also be included, as will a demonstration of Clydesdales by Harry and Eleanor Brown of Summer-land.

“It’s a whole show; it’s not just the RCMP

Musical Ride,” said Gwen Shaw of the Summerland Rodeo Grounds Equine Development Com-mittee, the organiza-tion sponsoring the event.

The showpiece of the evening will be the RCMP Music-al Ride, which has toured across Can-ada and around the world.

The Musical Ride features 32 horses and riders demon-strating a variety of horse skills, set to music. It was started in 1887 and has per-

formed for the public since 1901.

“It brings out the Canadian in you,” Shaw said of the ride.

The Equine Development Com-mittee is working to raise money for improvements to the rodeo grounds.

The grounds are owned by the municipality and maintained by the municipal parks and recreation depart-ment.

Shaw said the land was a gift from a member of the Sum-merland Trail Riders.

The Equine Development Com-mittee would like to have an indoor covered arena at the rodeo grounds as well as improve-ments and mainten-ance to the existing facilities.

Shaw said the pub-lic is invited to offer suggestions about the improvements which are most needed for the rodeo grounds.

“This is the com-munity’s rodeo grounds,” she said. “What do they want to see happen with it?”

The value of the forestry industryAlthough forestry

falls under provin-cial jurisdiction it is important to recog-nize the importance of this industry to all lev-els of government that also includes com-munities, local econ-omies and the many working families who are supported directly and indirectly by for-est sector jobs.

In Okanagan-Coquihalla, com-munities such as Merritt, Logan Lake and Okanagan Falls have long had direct ties with the forest sector while many important industry related support busi-nesses are located in Penticton and West Kelowna/ Westbank.

For many years, Canada’s largest trading partner has been the United States and with the American housing construction boom slowing down, this in turn has reduced export demand and has resulted in mill closures as we wit-nessed locally at Oka-nagan Falls.

To further chal-lenge the British Columbia forest industry, the pine beetle devastation has also reduced the available timber sup-ply and recent mill tragedies have dra-matically increased insurance costs for those mills still oper-ating. In summary,

there are a number of challenges within this industry as critics are generally quick to point out.

However while it is often easy to criti-cize, it is also import-ant to recognize efforts underway to help support the for-est industry.

Free trade agree-ments, although often opposed by some, open up new markets that Brit-ish Columbia lum-ber manufacturers can access and this in turn, can help keep mills open and people working.

As an example of this, BC lumber exports to China exceeded $1 billion

in revenue for the first time in history in 2011.

Exports to Japan have had similar success and more recently a wood export guide to India has been prepared for manufacturers.

The need to divers-ify Canada’s trad-ing partners is a top priority for the Can-adian forest industry as it is in many other industries.

However it is also important that innov-ation is not over-looked as another means to divers-ify and increase demand for our local value-added lumber producers.

This week I was

excited to attend an important event as Structural Wood Products announced an expansion of the recently opened Oka-nagan Falls produc-tion facility.

This new expan-sion will allow for the construction of the new “Eco Struc-ture Wall System” that consists of pre-fabricated engineered wooden wall struc-tures made using the technology of the cross laminated con-struction method.

These walls are intended to be an alternative to conven-tional concrete “tilt-up” wall construction with the advantage of being lighter, strong-er and also offering improved insulation qualities while being more energy efficient to produce and trans-port. For Structurlam, a company with 50 years of expertise and over 150 employees this is an investment that has a very bright future.

In Whitecourt Alta., Millar West-ern Forest Products is introducing an anaer-obic hybrid digester that will convert pulp mill effluent to green energy.

This waste to green energy technology has the potential to be used in other mills to help reduce waste and lower long term energy costs.

In Meadow Lake Sask., the local Tolko Mill will soon become the first in North America to produce specialty orientated strand board products on a single production with enhanced qual-ity controls.

These innovations are a few examples of Natural Resources Canada partnership projects under the Investment in For-est Industry Trans-

formation Program . Although challenges in the forest industry remain, the need to proactively expand and diversify our value-added forestry sector are essential objectives that help support local econ-omies and help cre-ate new and support existing jobs.

While we as a country continue to lead the G-7 in job creation and overall fiscal management it is also important to recognize this success does not happen by accident.

Through partner-ships between indus-try and all levels of Government working proactively together to open new trade markets or increase innovation we can and will succeed.

Summer is heating up, putting addition-al demands on our water supplies. Trad-itionally, the region begins to observe slow increases in vol-ume usage beginning late April and into May.

This year a cool, wet spring helped to ease the pressure on the water utilities pumping and treat-ing infrastructure.

The downside was when summer came, temperatures soared and we were plunged into a heat wave.

It takes a few weeks of slowly rais-ing temperatures to allow people, ani-mals and the land to adjust to summer conditions.

When the heat comes suddenly, with moisture still in the air and soil, it can be shocking.

Humidity makes the temperature feel hotter.

In response to those conditions, people crank up the air conditioner, turn on the sprinklers and use water, water and more water.

That can be hard on water utility infra-structure; intake, pumping and treat-ment plants.

In the Okanagan consumption is 675 litres per person per day, twice the Can-adian average.

Watering restric-tions are devised to balance the demand on the water system, as well as conserve water.

We can make water work and get the most from our water by following some simple steps:

o Water land-

scape, gardens and agricultural crops at or between dusk and dawn. Up to 50 per cent of the water evaporates when watering in the hot sun.

o Water plant material only — grass, gardens, lawn and crops — not pavement, roadways or sidewalks. Out-door water consump-tion accounts for 24 per cent of household water use.

o Leave grass five to eight centimetres (two to three inches) long and leave clip-pings as mulch.

o Aerate and top dress your lawn with an inch of compost in the fall.

o Change out conventional lawn for drought tolerant turf, or turf some turf, and remove some lawn.

To inspire Oka-nagan residents to Make Water Work, local governments and the Regional District have part-nered with the Oka-nagan Basin Water Board’s Waterwise program.

Take the Water-Wise pledge for a chance to win $5,000 WaterWise yard improvements and makeover.

Log on to www.MakeWaterWork.ca, take the pledge to do one or more of the steps above, and you will be entered to win.

If you do not have the need for a make-over, you can gift it to a registered charity of your choice.

A win-win for everyone, and our precious water resource.

Anti-bullying organization receives funding

An anti-bullying group in Summer-land has received a grant from the Com-munity Foundation of the South Oka-nagan.

The grant, for $3,500, was given last week.

“This generous donation from the Community Foun-dation will help us purchase computers for our volunteers to use and will help us better manage the demands of the Stop A Bully program,”

said director Trevor Knowlton.

“As all of our vol-unteers have full-time careers, it is critical that they have the technology to complete Stop A Bully work outside of the Summerland office.”

Knowlton, a teach-er at Summerland Secondary School, created the Stop A Bully site in 2009 to help students report incidents of bully-ing.

It has since grown

to a national initia-tive.

The organization also does fundrais-ing to raise aware-ness about issues surrounding bullying and cyberbullying in schools.

The Community Foundation of the South Okanagan has an endowment of $6.5 million and grants approximate-ly $200,000 annu-ally to organizations through the Oka-nagan and Similka-meen.

Caution urged on water

by Joe FriesBlack Press

Two near-misses on the water near Penticton this week came amid a flurry of warnings about exer-cising caution while indulging in summer fun.

Hours before a boat crash-landed Tuesday on a pier near downtown Pen-ticton, a man float-ing on the Okanag-an River channel became snagged on a bridge pillar at Green Avenue and had to be cut loose.

Branton Grinde, 17, had just gotten off the channel with friends around 3 p.m. and was about to start crossing the bridge when he saw a man who looked to be in his 40s thrashing in the water below.

It appeared the man’s tube was tied to others that were wrapped around the other side of the bridge pillar, and the

rope with which they were attached was also tangled around his arm.

“He just started yelling for help, so we all ran down to the water and I phoned 911 to get some people over there,” said Grinde. “I was definitely a bit wor-ried. I didn’t know what to do, so I just yelled for somebody to get a knife.”

Another onlook-er ran to his truck, grabbed a knife, then swam out to the victim and cut him loose.

Other people haven’t been so lucky.

“A review of drowning deaths over the past five years shows that many victims are unfamil-iar with the waters involved and there-fore don’t see the risk or underestimate it,” B.C. Coroners Service spokesperson Bar-bara McLintock said in a statement.

Next week Master-works Ensemble, a quartet of the valley’s finest classical musi-cians, will perform three house concerts along Okanagan Lake.

Residents are opening their homes to the public, invit-ing them to sip wine from local winer-ies, view artwork by Okanagan artists and

listen to the sounds of summer.

“A house can be such a rich and intim-ate setting for a con-cert,” said Tracy Fehr, one of the perform-ers.

“Our ensemble is thrilled to perform in three beautiful homes with gorgeous terra-ces and views of the lake.”

The owners of the homes are just as excited to host such

accomplished musi-cians.

Fehr, a lyric col-oratura soprano, has held numerous recitals and concerts across Canada and abroad.

Elizabeth Lupton, violin, is a member of the Okanagan Sym-phony Orchestra.

Dennis Nordlund, piano, performs throughout the Oka-

nagan as a solo-ist, as accompanist for vocalists, choirs, instrumentalists and theatrical produc-tions.

M a s t e r w o r k s Ensemble is joined by guest artist Simon Cliff, a classical guitarist from Lon-don, England.

Music for the even-ing concerts will fea-ture songs from the 19th and 20th centur-ies, duets for violin

and guitar, guitar and soprano, Spanish and Portuguese songs, and jazz pieces such as Unforgettable and At Last.

The house concerts will be held Friday, July 26 at Lloyd and Tanya Westby’s in Trout Creek; Satur-day, July 27 at Bernd and Felicity Stahl’s house in Summer-land and Sunday, July 28 at Goran and Jo Marcovic’s home on the Naramata Bench.

Sunette Louw will showcase her art-work at the Westby home, and artist Der-ris Selles’ abstract art will be featured at the Stahl’s home.

Tickets, which sold out quickly for last year’s performances, must be purchased in advance.

The cost includes a glass of wine from a local winery.

To purchase, visit Summerland Phar-masave, 9515 Main Street, Summerland, or the Penticton Arts Council, Leir House, 220 Manor Park Ave. Penticton.

All concerts begin at 7 p.m.

Classical performersMusicians Dennis Nordlund, left, Elizabeth Lupton and Tracy Fehr will perform at a series of house concerts along Okanagan Lake, July 26 to 28.

“A house can be such a rich and intimate setting for a concert. Our ensemble is thrilled to perform in three beautiful homes with gor-geous terraces and views of the lake.”

Penticton Pikes attended a swim meet in Revelstoke over the weekend.

More than 350 swimmers were there; 10 teams from all over the province.

The Pikes had a small group of swim-mers, yet placed fifth overall in team points due to the swimmers performing extreme-ly well.

Head coach Elliot Clarke said this was a good meet in prepar-ation for regionals as all of the top regional swimmers attended. He also noted that

there are many Pikes swimmers this year that will be in con-tention for medals at regionals.

Penticton will host the top swimmers in the region Aug. 3 and 4, at the Penticton Aquatic centre.

The top three swimmers in each category will move through to provin-cials, to be held in Coquitlam in mid August.Top placings

Pikes finish fifth at Revelstoke swim meet

Steam ask for additional ice timeby John Arendt

After holding practices in Penticton last year, organizers of the Summerland Steam Junior B hock-ey team are asking for more ice time at the Summerland Arena.

Team owners Gregg Wilson and Tim Keilty said the cost of ice time in Penticton was con-siderably higher than Summerland’s rate.

In Summerland, ice time was $80 an hour, while the McLaren Arena in Penticton charged $175 an hour and the South Oka-nagan Events Cen-tre charged $240 an hour.

“It’s three times as much to practice at the South Okanag-an Events Centre,” Keilty said.

He added that the higher fees are charged because the Steam is not a Pentic-ton team.

Wilson said hold-ing all practices in Summerland could save the team around $8,000 a year.

The Steam had some practices at the Summerland Arena

last year, but those practice times were in the early after-noon, during the high school’s lunch hour. Between 10 and 15 of the team’s 22 players would show up for those practi-ces.

“We still need an evening practice for the kids who can’t make it during the day,” Wilson said.

The team includes players in high school, college and university as well as some who are work-ing.

Brenda Ingram, assistant director of the municipality’s parks and recreation department, said the ice schedule for the upcoming season has not yet been set.

The users of the arena include the Steam, minor hock-ey, the Summerland Skating Club and others.

Daytime ice is also in demand as schools use the arena for their skating programs.

Teams, leagues and other ice users are on the ice each day from 5:30 a.m. until past midnight.

Hockey actionBrock McDonald of the Summerland Steam works to keep control of the puck during a Junior B hockey game last season. Steam organizers are asking for more ice time in Summerland for the upcoming season. Last season, some practices were held in Penticton.

Three Orca Swim Team members among best in province

The Summerland Orca Swim Team had three swimmers qual-ify for the B.C. AAA Swimming Cham-pionships — a com-petition that brings the best age group swimmers from around the province.

Daniel Nixon, 14, Haley Berrisford, 12, and Jamie Ferguson, 16, all competed in the five-day swim meet July 4 to 8 at the UBC Aquatic Centre.

“The energy was electric on the pool deck, since the com-petition took place indoors and out-doors. It felt like an Olympic out-door venue and our swimmers rose to the challenge with many personal bests,” said interim head coach Delano Ducheck.

Berrisford placed fourth in the Open Water 2000m race, seventh in the 800m freestyle and 12th in the 400 Freestyle.

“This was the first time an Orca swim-mer raced in the open water event, and her triathlon experience gave her extra confi-dence going into the race,” Ducheck said.

Ferguson placed 10th in the 100m backstroke, 12th in the 200m backstroke, and 18th in the 200m breaststroke.

“Jamie is on track to peak at her biggest meet of the year in two weeks, the Junior National Champion-ships in Montreal,”

Ducheck said. “She was using

this meet as a prep-aratory meet and was pleased with her performances and racing.”

Nixon was a first time qualifier at these provincials and was

four-out-of-four for personal best times and placed 14th in the sprint freestyle event.

“Danny has pro-gressed so quickly since starting swim-ming only two-and-a-half years ago,” Ducheck said. “At the beginning of the

season he hadn’t broken the 30 second barrier for the 50 free and now he’s three full seconds under it.”

For those interest-ed in joining the Orca Swim Club, informa-tion for new swim-

mers can be found at www.orcaswimclub.net.

Last year there was a waiting list for the popular four-month introductory boot-camp for new swim-mers, and Orca is expecting the turnout to be just as high this year.

Top swimmers qualify for championships

“The energy was electric on the pool deck, since the competition took place indoors and outdoors. It felt like an Olympic outdoor venue and our swimmers rose to the challenge with many personal bests.”

Two Summerland neighbours finished the Osoyoos triathlon within a few seconds of each other, despite an age difference of almost 10 years.

Neil Croft finished first in the 50 to 54 age group with a time of 5:32:15 while Ken Cashion finished first in the 60 to 64 age group with a time of 5:32:45.

The men are neigh-bours but have dif-ferent schedules so do not have the opportunity to train together.

In the two-kilo-metre swim, Croft exited the placid wat-

ers of Osoyoos Lake about 10 seconds ahead of Cashion.

Cashion wasted a frustrating minute in the bike transition as the velcro on his water bottle was not securely fastened on the areo bars.

“My water bottle fell twice as I was exiting the bike transition,” he said. “Wearing cycling gloves made it diffi-cult to secure the vel-cro strap.”

The 90-kilometre bike course goes up Richter Pass and the athletes fought a strong head wind, in addition to the gruel-

ling incline. The two kept each

other in sight as they cycled up to the Rich-ter summit.

They were close enough to exchange greetings as they reached the sum-mit and headed into Cawston.

After three hours of cycling, they returned to the bike transition within 15 seconds of each other.

The 21-kilometre run went around Osoyoos Lake.

“I was tired of looking at the back of Ken’s head,” Croft said.

In the last kilo-metre, Croft gained a few seconds on his neighbour and crossed the finish line to place first in the age group 50 to 54.

Cashion was on his heels and finished a few seconds later, also securing the first position, but in the men’s age group 60 to 64.

Both have their sights on The Chal-lenge Triathlon at the end of August. Cashion did the Iron-man in 2011 and he is wanting to do the Challenge as a cele-bration of the 60th birthday milestone.

The Summerland Museum invites you to join expert geolo-gist Dr. Kathleen Jag-ger for an entertain-ing and informative journey exploring the first rock formations of Summerland.

There is a tour this Saturday, July 20 and again on Saturday, Aug. 10. Registra-tion and payment is required. Please call the Summerland Museum for more information at 250-494-9395 or swing on by at 9521 Whar-ton Street, Tuesdays to Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The tour takes approximately three hours and will tour all over Summer-

land to see the strata revealed by the mak-ing of the highway, the formation of the silt cliffs, how Oka-nagan Lake was formed and some great examples of lava flows from the extinct volcano and striations, or ice

scratch troughs, left from the last glacier passing through here.

It also includes a short five-minute easy hike up the base of the west side of Giant’s Head Moun-tain on Shale Avenue.

They will also be driving to the park-ing lot at the top of Giant’s Head Moun-tain and then tak-ing a 10-minute easy hike to the summit to enjoy the gorgeous panoramic view and geological explana-tion of the valley.

Meet inside the Museum at 9:45 a.m. and then at 10 a.m. everyone will hop on the bus. Wear sturdy shoes, a hat and be

prepared for every kind of weather and possibly bugs too. Bring a snack and drink to enjoy at the top of the mountain.

Anyone not want-ing to make the trip to the top of Giant’s Head will be dropped off at the museum on the way up.

For those unable to take part on the geology tour the air conditioned museum is the perfect place to visit on a hot Oka-nagan afternoon.

When you are there be sure to check out the fabulous new dis-play on the Japanese community of Sum-merland.

Their other dis-

plays depict the early growth of our town, from the pre-settle-ment era and the time of the fur brigade trail, through to the days of pioneer life and beyond. One of the highlights being the fifty foot mural by Summerland artist Bruce Crawford.
