911 service changes proposed by John Arendt

The Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen is considering an upgrade to its 911 system which could leave Summerland paying more for a lower quality of service. The service change has been suggested to benefit smaller communities within the regional district. The cost of the service change is $.164 million. Coun. Bruce Hallquist who represents the municipality at the regional district, said the proposal,

if approved, would mean Summerland would no longer have a direct 911 emergency link to Kelowna. Instead, the service would be like a party line, serving multiple communities instead of a dedicated line to Summerland. He added that the change will not affect those calling for 911 service, but it will affect the fire department. “It’s going to be quite the downgrade in service,” he said. “Why should we be going backward?”

In addition, the municipality would have to pay $230,000 over a 10-year period, or $23,000 a year, as its share of the project. The service change has been raised at the regional district level because some of the smaller communities have not kept up with improvements to their fire departments. The change would raise the level of communications for them and for the regional district’s fire department, which serves smaller communities and outlying areas.

Municipal administrator Tom Day said municipal representatives met with regional district senior staff recently to outline the fire department’s concerns about the proposed change. “We’re really pleased with the service right now,” he said. “We don’t want to see it going backwards.” Hallquist said a second option had also been suggested, but at a higher cost. To determine if there is voter support to borrow the $1.64 million needed

for the service change, the regional district is using the alternate approval process. If 10 per cent of the voters in the regional district sign a petition opposing the proposed funding, the regional district board would be required to go to a referendum. There are roughly 68,640 eligible voters in the regional district, so 6,864 signatures would be required. A copy of the petition will be available at the municipality.

Over the years volunteer organizations as well as small groups of people have gotten together to clean the area up.

“We want to say thank you to these people for doing this,” said Ellis. “We all live here and pay taxes and no one wants to see an unsightly mess.”

He hopes that the individuals using the hills to dump their belongings will be more considerate of others and take their garbage to the landfill.

Power free at stations by John Arendt

Electrical car owners will not have to pay to charge their vehicles at the municipality’s electrical vehicle charging stations, at least for a six-month trial period. “If we really want to reduce greenhouse gases, a serious promotion of alternative forms of transportation is required,” said Mayor Janice Perrino. “Allowing electric vehicles to fill up for free would provide an incentive for local residents to acquire an electric vehicle.” On Friday, the municipality unveiled its electric vehicle charging stations. The three stations were installed as a provincial funding incentive. One of the stations is in the parking lot at municipal hall, another is on Kelly Avenue at the edge of Memorial Park and the third is in the parking lot on Victoria Road North. Julie McGuire, climate action coordinator for the municipality, said the stations are part of a $2.7-million province-wide initiative to set up 454 stations throughout British Columbia. The stations came online for public use on March 27 and already some electric

vehicle owners have been using them. The stations include technology which allows the municipality to monitor their use and to charge users on a per session or per hour basis. The municipality is also installing 120-volt plugs beside the kiosks in order to charge electric scooters, electric bikes and golf carts. Municipal planner Ian McIntosh said the cost of charging an electric car ranges from 48 cents to $2.28 while the cost of charging an electric scooter is estimated at around 10 cents. If the stations were used steadily 10 hours a day, the power required would cost the municipality $6 a day. If metering units were added to the 120-volt plugs beside the charging kiosks, McIntosh said they would require 10,000 paid charges in order to recoup the costs of the metering devices. Because the cost of supplying power is low, council members voted to allow free charging, at least for the present. “I don’t see why we should quibble over a few dollars,” said Coun. Lloyd Christopherson. “This is an oppor-

tunity for Summerland to lead the way in terms of our green footprint,” added Coun. Peter Waterman. Coun. Bruce Hallquist said the charging stations could also be used when golf carts are allowed on the roads in Summerland, a concept he has long advocated. In other communities in B.C., electric vehicle charging station rates vary widely. In Osoyoos, no fee is charged. At charging stations in place at Okanagan College campuses, there is a parking fee of $1 an hour, but no additional cost to use the charging stations. In Chilliwack, a station charges 50 cents an hour while at the Coquitlam Centre Mall, the station charges $1 an hour.

EDITORIAL

our pick

Paying for power For drivers with electric vehicles, the decision by municipal council to provide free power at the three charging stations is welcome news. On Monday, council chose to provide free power at the stations, at least for a sixmonth trial period. This is in line with the direction taken in many but not all other B.C. communities where charging stations are provided as a free service. The cost of charging is low, at an estimated cost to the municipality of $2.28 to charge a Nissan Leaf and less for other electric vehicles. While the charging stations have technology in place to allow charging motorists for the power they use, the nearby 120-volt plugs to charge scooters, electric bikes and golf carts are not set up to bill the users. Adding a metering system to these outlets would require 10,000 people using the service before the cost of metering system was paid. The cost hardly seems sensible at present In addition, one must consider the time it takes to charge an electric car. While the vehicle is charging, the owner is in the downtown area, likely stopping at local businesses and spending money here while waiting. Still, when municipal spending is carefully scrutinized and when a significant number of Summerlanders want to see reductions to municipal spending, the decision to provide charging stations for free may be criticized on principle. Furthermore, free power could be seen as a subsidy for electric vehicle owners, since drivers of gasoline or diesel vehicles must pay for the fuel they consume. In the next few years, as electric vehicles become more popular, the electrical demand may become great enough that it is no longer workable for the municipality to provide free power at the charging stations. At that point, the billing method must be revisited.

Once again Earth Week in Summerland was a larger-thanlife celebration of our environment. W h i l e many communities in B.C. and the rest of Canada held special events and activities for a day, Summerland had a week’s worth of events. We are all affected by our environment and anything which can raise awareness of environmental issues will help us in the long term.

bad B.C. Liberals are running scared apples Third in a series on party platforms. VICTORIA – The B.C. Liberal Party deserves credit for releasing its policy book in full on the eve of the formal election campaign. That’s about the only positive thing to be said about it. For those who take the time to read party leader Christy Clark’s Tom Fletcher 40-page booklet, there are a few nuggets of news. For instance, a re-elected B.C. Liberal government would continue its justice reform agenda by moving traffic ticket disputes out of courtrooms, as they did with impaired driving cases. Most of it consists of glowing descriptions of the government’s 12-year record, and attacks on the NDP of the kind that are not normally seen in a platform. This is consistent with Clark’s style since she was anointed party leader two years ago. The main focus, as revealed in February’s throne speech, is a plan to pay off B.C.’s growing debt and perhaps even get rid of the provincial sales tax with an Alberta-style “prosperity fund” from liquefied natural gas exports. Whether this is from imposing a new export tax on LNG or simply from a windfall of gas royalties is not clear. Clark

and her energy minister contradicted each other on that when it was announced, and the platform doesn’t shed any new light. All we have is a big logo on the side of Clark’s campaign bus declaring “DEBT FREE B.C.” As I’ve written before, there is plenty of real evidence of a huge new LNG industry in the making. As for paying off the $60 billion debt that the B.C. Liberals’ pre-election budget predicts will keep growing, cartoonist Adrian Raeside summed it up best: LNG revenues are “Christy Clark’s invisible friend.” Clark finished up last week with stops in Terrace and Prince Rupert, promising an LNG windfall for local governments as well. She repeated the platform’s attack line that the NDP are going to wreck the trillion-dollar LNG boom with a Quebec-style moratorium on “fracking” to extract gas from deep shale formations. That’s not an outright lie, but it’s almost as speculative as Clark’s notions of a 30-year windfall that could at best barely start during the next fouryear term. The NDP are not calling for a moratorium on natural gas production. They’re calling for yet another “review,” one of many vague, wobbly positions that have been adopted by both dominant parties.

An earlier premier named Glen Clark became famous for “freezing” things like ferry fares and car insurance rates. Now Christy Clark is “freezing” personal income tax rates for five years, and carbon tax rates too. That implies she’s planning to win this election and the next one, at a time when it is unclear whether she can even hold her own seat in Vancouver-Point Grey. The B.C. Liberals will cut small business taxes by a point, some time in the next five years. They will also increase income tax on large businesses and personal income of more than $150,000, but that’s not mentioned in their platform, since it goes against 12 years of their policy as a government. o A clarification of last week’s column on the B.C. Conservative platform. Leader John Cummins informs me his plan to phase out the carbon tax does not include reversing the personal and business income tax rate reductions that were legislated as the fuel tax reached its current level. The platform asserts that total provincial revenues will continue to rise in the next four years, despite the uncompensated loss of $1 billion from the carbon tax. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca.

We do not understand the mindset of those who have been dumping their garbage west of Summerland, not far from the landfill. This thoughtless action makes a mess of the area, especially since some of the waste will not decompose easily. The practice is unsightly and unsanitary. It is also inconsiderate. The landfill is nearby and has been designed to handle any and all household wastes for the community.

Liberals dismembered B.C. Hydro

Dear Editor: I read and hear the many complaints about the high cost of electricity. People need look no further than the destruction of B.C. Hydro as it was set

up by W.A.C. Bennett. It was an efficient utility supplying electricity to most of B.C. at a reasonable price. Then along came Gordon Campbell, Rich Coleman,

Christy Clark and all who decided B.C. Hydro should be dismembered. Customer service went to an outside group, transmission lines to another, new power to be pro-

Gardening season is coming up and many of us are preparing our yards for planting flowers and vegetables. Whether you’re putting in a huge garden, maintaining a flowerbed or filling a few pots for the patio, it’s usually a manageable chore with nice benefits. This photo shows one of Summerland’s biggest gardens being prepped for planting in the early 1920s. It was an enormous job to lay out the design and place all of the trees, shrubs and flowers, but the result was spectacular. If you need ideas for your gardening project, visit the Summerland Ornamental Gardens and imagine the possibilities for your yard.

Involvement urged in growth strategy Dear Editor: This past week I had the opportunity to participate in a workshop put on by the consulting group that is contracted to help our municipal planners update our Urban Growth Boundary. These folks came up with what I thought was, an innovative and inclusive method of obtaining our thoughts on this thorny issue. The exercise was non confrontational and drew out some very good ideas from the fairly diverse group that attended. The method seemed to allow discussion but more importantly forced us to

actually attach our thoughts to the map of town. This exercise will be conducted throughout the next four months in various forms, with the objective to involve as wide a cross section of the community as possible. The one method they have come up with is a community survey that each for us can do from our own homes. The web address is surveymonkey.com/s/futuresummerland. It is my understanding this survey must be completed between now and May 3. There is also more information at futuresummerland.

forced to assume a $50 billion contractual obligation to buy the run of the river power which comes when B.C. Hydro has plenty (spring runoff time.) U n f o r t u n a t e l y, Powerx (CEO paid nearly $1 million) can only get a much lower price than the price B.C. Hydro is forced to pay, so you and I pay high electric rates to allow for this “business deal.” B.C. residents used to enjoy the lowest electrical costs — our climate and geography allowed this — but our present distressing and unnecessary situation came about directly due to Gordon Campbell and his Liberal government’s dangerous and inept handling of our public utility. Electricity is essential to modern living. B.C. has been robbed of its ability to have low electrical rates that used to give a competitive eye to business and be a boon to homeowners.

I really think there may be hope this time to get our future planning on the right path, but this will only happen if more of us get involved. Come on folks, take a few minutes between periods, and make your thoughts known on how our town should look in the future. It is especially important for our young families and youth to get involved. After all, this exercise is for their benefit. Don Hudgeon Summerland

Dear Editor: A couple of weeks ago, four of my friends and I went out to Zias Stone house Restaurant. As usual the food was amazing and the service was excellent. Now, we were out celebrating my friend’s 17th birthday which usually makes people assume that five 17-year-olds are going to be loud and most likely disrespectful of the peaceful environment Zias offers. However, when it came time for us to sing happy birth-

day to my friend the couple sitting next to us joined in then they continued on with their dinner and we started our complimentary dessert. None of us thought much about it, we just thought it was very nice of them to join in. After they left, the five of us were still chatting and finishing dessert when our server came over and informed us that the couple who barely interacted with us paid for our entire dinner because they

thought we looked like nice girls. There are no words to explain how great that made us feel. We couldn’t stop smiling and talking about it. I am writing this letter to thank these people who we couldn’t thank at the time and also to remind everyone in Summerland that there are good people in this world. After we had this dinner, our faith in humanity was reinforced. Emma McDowall Summerland

Development affects town centre Dear Editor: The decision on what to do with our institutional lands (Wharton Street) is finally coming to a conclusion. These lands are the

entrance; the “centrepiece” to our community. For the economic well-being of our Summerland, it has to look good. Over the years,

Dan Gets it Done.

there has been three quite separate approaches to these institutional lands: o The village-like design by Dale Matthews. o The design by renowned architect Cal Meiklejohn. This included an abundance of green space and an open air amphitheatre.

o The current Wharton Street design (shown in the Summerland Review April 4.) The first two approaches were an open, public process with the design freely available for public scrutiny. No public objection was voiced opposing the designs.

But municipal staff claimed financial concerns. Apparently staff were unaware of numerous available grants and the Okanagan Regional Library Board considerable assets. Only in the last two weeks has the design been revealed for the current pro-

posal. The concern is there will be no opportunity for public input into this final design. Folks, this is the very centre of our town. When our tourists and our potential new businesses enter Summerland and drive up Prairie Val-

ley Road, this design will be the first thing they will see. Of the three approaches, this is clearly the less appealing. Why wasn’t the public given an opportunity to provide their opinion on this final design? David Gregory Summerland

It will be a time of theatrical celebration and dramatic moments as students from around the province take part in the 13th annual Good Will Shakespeare festival in Summerland. The festival, which runs from May 9 to 11, features instruction and workshops by experts in theatre and the arts.

“We have the best group of professionals we’ve ever had,” said Linda Beaven, organizer of the festival. The theme of this year’s festival is, “Who hath the story for your ear?” Beaven said the festival is important, especially for students from smaller communities who often have limited

Focus on Urban Growth Strategy “Summerland captures the essence of the Okanagan with an abundance of historical, cultural, recreational and agricultural experiences. Meandering roads with views of brilliant blue water, lush orchards and vineyards entice visitors to stop and sample the local fare. The charming town centre,

anchored by Giant’s Head Mountain, offers an opportunity to share in the genuine allure of the community. A true patchwork of activities and vistas, Summerland is the local’s pick for an authentic Okanagan experience.” In the recent tourism branding project conducted by the Summerland Cham-

ber, this is the positioning statement 15 community stakeholder organizations unanimously agreed best represented our community to the world. However, our community is not just a pretty face. It is underpinned by a thoughtful local government that engages with and listens to its citizens. Right now the District of Summerland is working to create an even better community by initiating a review of the Urban Growth Strategy. Changes in the community in recent years, new climate action commitments, and an updated zoning bylaw make this the right time to ask pertinent questions such as: Where are we going to locate future growth in the District of Summerland? What do we want this growth to look like and how will it stimulate economic growth? Housing costs, local jobs, sustain-

able agriculture, community services and infrastructure, as well as climate action are some of the issues affected by the choices Summerland residents will make about where and how to grow as a community. This six-month Urban Growth Strategy process has just begun. Citizens who attended the focus group meetings held on April 18 and 20 noted that there was consensus within the workshops around the concepts of utilizing existing infrastructure effectively, building a sustainable community, retaining our small town characteristics and livability and increasing our access to trails and recreational opportunities. One developer who attended said Summerland’s newly rewritten zoning bylaws are among the most progressive in B.C. and have earned respect for district staff through their

CHAMBER CORNER

Arlene Fenrich intentional creation of plans that work. He also predicted Summerland would see increased development soon as a result of these changes. An example of welcome new development is the mixed use building soon to break ground on Wharton Street. This downtown commercial and residential property will build on our goals for downtown livability and will contribute to increased vitality in local shops and services. The recently approved expansion to the Bentley Road

Industrial Park is another example of good planning. This 7.2 hectare expansion will double the size of the existing industrial park and it is in an excellent location on the north end of Summerland with direct access to highway 97. Here in Summerland we have every reason to be pleased with this community enhancing and business friendly progress. Remember to go to www.futuresummerland.com to

complete the citizen survey and add your voice to the process. We always appreciate your feedback. Please contact me at president@summerlandchamber.com or Christine Petkau at manager@summerlandchamber.com. Arlene Fenrich is President of the Summerland Chamber of Economic Development and Tourism. All members of the board of directors serve as volunteers.

the past three years. While in Africa, the team took time to visit local schools and churches, as well as help out with supplying emergency food to local families, as the area is experiencing a food shortage due to poor crops over the past two years. Aside from passing on his construction skills, Bob Denesiuk also spent evenings and weekends instructing students on the advanced use of a wood lathe. The woodturning training program was initiated last year by Summerland Rotarian, John Topham, who volunteered

with Mercy Tech in 2012. The goal has been to see the lathe project supply income for the local men and their families, and already the program has reached the point where the students are now producing turned wood products for Gorongosa, a large game lodge in Mozambique. The team invites the community to come out and hear highlights from the trip, along with a video overview of the work that was done. The presentation will be on Sunday, April 28 at 7 p.m. at Summerland Baptist Church.

Thursday, April 25, 2013 Summerland Review

Wide range of arts events scheduled While this weekend marks the conclusion of provincewide Arts and Culture Week activities it certainly does not mean the end of a wide range of concerts, plays and gallery shows in Summerland and surrounding communities. In fact music lovers can enjoy a number of performances including this weekend’s Sing Me to Heaven concert by Musaic Vocal Ensemble this Saturday at St John’s

Lutheran Church on North Victoria Road. Concert goers will hear the Requiem by John Rutter and works by Tavener, Palestrina, Tallis and others works. The following weekend, Sunday, May 5 at 7 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Voices in Song present A Song for Hope Benefit featuring Dennis Nordlund on piano and Elizabeth Lupton on violin. Tickets are available from The Penticton and Dis-

trict Community Arts Council, Leir House, 220 Manor Park Ave., Penticton. Proceeds and donations from this spring concert will be directed to ACT’s livelihood project for disadvantaged women and children in North Africa, Tunisia, and specifically to initiate funding for a psychologist to offer group session counselling (posttrauma, life skills, legal advice) for these women. The Youth Sym-

phony of the Okanagan, who are celebrating their 24th season, will also be performing May 5 at the Shatford Centre in Penticton at 2 p.m. Their spring concert, Horizons, will feature soloist Jasper Meiklejohn of Penticton on violin. Tickets are available at the Penticton Academy of Music. If you are reading this before the weekend I hope you will stop by the Arts Centre for the short play, Sorry, Wrong

Number, being performed by Singers and Players on Thursday evening. And on Friday night the Arts Council will be wrapping up the week’s events with a gala featuring tapas, wine, music and door prizes. Not to mention the presentation of the 23rd Annual Community Arts Appreciation Award. The show Figuratively Speaking, featuring metal and glass sculpture made with recycled materi-

Basketball court requested Recreational

opportunities for all ages

by John Arendt A Summerland basketball enthusiast is circulating a petition asking for a place to play. “Our basketball courts are in terrible condition,” said Abhishek Lekhi, a Grade 10 student. There is an indoor basketball court in the gym at Summerland Secondary School and an outdoor court at Summerland Middle School. The indoor court is in need of attention, Lekhi said. “The Summerland secondary gym has many problems, the court condition is appalling, the floor is unable to sustain its grip, making sports very difficult to play when you are sliding around,” he said. “The court is also not full size.” The outdoor court does not have the necessary lines marked on it and it is not well illuminated for evening play. “How is someone supposed to achieve their dreams if they can’t practice?” he

Spring is here and everyone is busy with spring sports leagues and other outdoor activities. Summerland’s playing fields are humming with activities from mini soccer’s four-year-olds to our seniors’ slopitch league’s 84-year-olds. Soccer is played every evening and weekends at Dale Meadows and the school fields. Baseball is played at Living Memorial fields on Snow Ave and slopitch and softball are played at Dale Meadows and Powell Beach diamonds. What a great community with so much green space and activities. Last week’s Earth Day activities were a great success and Dale Meadows park was busy on Sunday with weed removal and plantings — a huge thank you to all the volunteers that assisted with this year’s events taking care and awareness of our planet Earth. Minor lacrosse, ball hockey, and roller derby are using the arena dry floor. Stop in and check it out — a whole different sporting world uses the arena without the ice. As the weather continues to warm up, the lake warms up and we spend more time outside. The park washrooms are now open and we plan to have the water park and campground open for the May long
