Quick response to fire by John Arendt

WWW.SUMMERLANDREVIEW.COM
Quick response from firefighters brought a grass fire in Garnett Valley under control before it had a chance to damage buildings. George Pugh of the Summerland Fire Department said the fire, on Wildhorse Road, was reported around 3 p.m.
Three trucks and 23 Summerland firefighters responded. The province also provided a helicopter to assist with firefighting efforts. Pugh said the light winds made it easier for firefighters to control the blaze. The fire, which covered around 0.8 hectares, grew quickly and moved
towards a home in the area. “It was about 10 feet from my house,” said Shelly White. This is not the first grass fire in the area. White said last year, a grass fire came within half a kilometre of her home. This year’s fire was much closer and much faster moving, she
said. As the fire approached, White and her family left the house and were in the process of evacuating the 24 horses on the property. “We had given up on the house,” she said. “We thought we had lost it.” The fire melted White’s irrigation line, so as a result, she used a garden
hose to try to contain the fire. She said the quick work from firefighters kept the fire from reaching her house. “Hats off to the Summerland Fire Department and Forestry,” she said. “They saved my home.” The cause of the fire has not been determined.

Bike race start
Carla McLeod Special to the Summerland Review
Mountain bikers were off to a fast start at the Test of Humanity mountain bike race Sunday. Around 250 competitors, most from B.C. and Alberta, took part in the ride over the grueling course. The event raised money for aid projects in Ethiopia.
July weather hits tourism traffic by Barbara Manning Grimm After a strong visitor season this spring, the cool rainy weather of July reduced tourism travel to Summerland and the Okanagan. Then in August the visitor counts rose almost to the 2011 levels, according to the Summerland Cham-
ber of Economic Development and Tourism. “Tourism numbers have fluctuated this year with spring visits (April, May, June) to the Summerland Visitor Centre strong,” said Chamber Manager Christine Petkau. “Those months showed an increase of 23 per cent over 2011 numbers of vis-
its for the same period and 18 per cent higher than the Thompson Okanagan regional network of visitor centres as a whole.” July visits to visitor centres were down 10 per cent throughout the region, and 15 per cent in Summerland. “This decline has pri-
marily been attributed to poor weather conditions.” August numbers for visitors to the Summerland Visitor Centre were slightly reduced by 2.5 per cent in Summerland and 3.3 per cent in the region compared to 2011 visits. From January to August
this year 7,460 people visited the Summerland Visitor Centre, compared with 8,531 for the same period in 2011 “with the decline coming from the low July numbers,” said Petkau. These figures do not include online inquiries or use of the online visitor guide.

Petkau named chamber manager Christine Petkau has been named the manager of the Summerland Chamber of Economic Development and Tourism after serving as the chamber ’s interim manager since June. In the past, Petkau has worked in the development and delivery of employment and labour market programs for the federal govern-
Playground opening
ment in Manitoba and for provincial stakeholders in British Columbia. Christine S h e Petkau also has experience in small business development, marketing and business research within the private sector.
Flanked by present and former members of the Summerland Lions Club, recreation director Dale MacDonald and Mayor Janice Perrino officially opened the new playground at Powell Beach. In the background, children present at the opening try out the equipment.
Powell Beach playground opened by Carla McLeod Special to the Review A new playground financed by the Summerland Lions Club was officially opened by Mayor Janice Perrino at Powell Beach last Wednesday evening. A celebration for all those involved in the project was organized by Summerland’s Director of Parks and Recreation, Dale MacDonald. A barbeque serving hamburgers and hotdogs was held with the food being donated by the Summerland IGA. Children were invited to try out the new equipment and no one needed to instruct them on how to use it.
They climbed and slid, laughed and played. This playground project has been in the works for the last two years and the Summerland Lions Club raised the $20,000 needed to construct it. This was no small feat in light of the fact that the Summerland club only has nine active members, all of whom are getting on in years, with the oldest member being 93 years of age. “We’re getting old, but we love doing this and we always seem to get something out of whatever we do, probably more than the people it’s going to do,” said John Edwards, president of the club.
POLICE REPORT
It was estimated that the Summerland Lions Club has donated more than $150,000 over the past 20 years, just to Parks and Recreation projects. “Talk about a service club that has been totally involved in the community,” MacDonald said. “There has hardly been a year gone by that they haven’t built a playground. They’ve been involved in almost every major Parks and Recreation project that we’ve had in Summerland. They’ve just been there to help. It’s been very nice today to be able to acknow-
ledge them.” The Lions Club logo was able to be embossed right into the playground equipment at Powell
Beach. This will serve as a reminder to the community for years to come as to this club’s generous donation.
Refreshments will be served.

Estate Litigation It is a sad sign of the times that Estate litigation is one of the fastest growing areas of law. This is partly due to the vast amount of wealth that the leading edge of the "Baby Boomers" is now transferring through to their offspring in their estates. Where money is involved unfortunately the bad side of human nature can take over. This wrongful behavior can take many forms, from one sibling taking over control of his or her parents affairs by a Power of Attorney and channeling the money to their own benefit to using undue influence to shape their parents Will in their favour. Equally as important in creating litigation has been the proliferation of second marriages and split families. Each side of the family can have very different legal rights to an estate depending on the circumstances. Great care and consideration must be taken when providing for your children and your spouse's children. It is critical to seek advice from a Lawyer with training and experience in drafting wills in these circumstances.

EDITORIAL
our pick
Beyond tourism When the tourists come to the Okanagan, Summerland takes notice. And when the tourists do not come, their absence is felt too. This year, Summerland’s tourism numbers have fluctuated. In spring, the numbers were significantly higher than last year’s figures, but in July, tourist activity showed a noticeable decline. Tourism in August was also a little lower than in 2011. Despite the increase seen in April, May and June, the number of tourists so far this year has been lower than at the same time last year. Tourism plays a significant role in Summerland and the rest of the Okanagan. For many years, this valley has been one of western Canada’s popular vacation spots. Because of this, any change in the number of visitors affects us more than it would in places with less of a tourist draw. Any decline will not just affect the hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts and tourismbased businesses and services. Our agricultural base has been moving from fruit growing to wine making, which is also a move into the tourism sector. While some communities have done well with an economy based primarily on tourism, the drawback comes when times are tough and people cut back on their travel plans. Because of this, Summerland, along with the rest of the Okanagan, needs to take measures to ensure a well-rounded economy, with a wide range of businesses and services. No matter how hard the community works to promote itself and no matter how wonderful our attractions and amenities, there is no guarantee the visitors will come. With a more diverse economy, the community will have an easier time coping when any one industry has a difficult year.
Summerlanders stepped up earlier this month as the Trepanier fire forced the evacuation of Peachland residents. The Emergency Social Ser vices Group volunteers worked hard to place the evacuees quickly. Businesses also supplied food and drinks to the reception centre. The efforts shown on that weekend went far beyond what anyone could have expected.
Swapping sociology for socket sets VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark’s latest employment announcement set the tone for one of the big issues in the 2013 election. Flanked by aircraft technician students at BCIT in Burnaby, Clark announced a $75-million program to upgrade aging trade and technical school facilities and hire i n s t r u c t o r s . Tom Fletcher And she did it with some pointed criticism of the career path chosen by many of today’s high school students. Clark introduced a student electrician, the first woman to win the senior technology education award at her high school, who then went on to get a bachelor’s degree in English and sociology. No job, so she went to BCIT. Her message was clear. The government’s pre-election budget is going to shift priorities to the huge number of skilled trades jobs that are already going begging in the north. More students will get started in high school, instead of being subsidized to wander around and find themselves with an unfocused university degree that still leaves them in need of practical skills. Shop upgrades were announced for trades training in Prince George, Kelowna and Greater Victoria. There will be new student financial aid, but
it will be tied to skill programs the economy needs now. And with the government’s financial situation, you can bet that sociology, women’s studies and the rest of the dead-end programs dear to the hearts of last year’s Occupy campers will feel the pinch. The B.C. Liberal skills training push was partly inspired by last year’s “inequality” protest, after Dawson Creek Mayor Mike Bernier waded into the Occupy Vancouver squat to
fund student grants. Instead of providing loan relief after successful completion, they’re going to hand out money at the front end, just like they did in my student days. My experience as a student, a job seeker and a parent is that free money encourages aimless study, and the selection of courses that are appealing rather than safe investments. We already have far too much of that, and I think most students today would be better off with a bigger debt
You can bet that sociology, women’s studies and the rest of the dead-end programs dear to the hearts of last year’s Occupy campers will feel the pinch. hand out business cards. They need cooks and labourers as well as pipefitters up there these days, and that’s before the B.C. gas patch goes into a huge expansion for Asian exports. A version of Kevin Falcon’s “welfare air” idea to move unemployed recipients north was included in last week’s announcement by Clark and her jobs czar, Pat Bell. Called “Job Match,” it’s a $2.9-million pilot program in the Peace region. It will deliver basic education and work boots for people in that region before anyone will be flown up from Nanaimo or Nelson. Cruising along at nearly 50 per cent in the polls, the NDP have also put a heavy emphasis on post-secondary. But they’re still playing to the urban Occupy crowd, with a promise of a tax on banks to
and a well-paying job. As the new trades plan was being rolled out, former finance minister Colin Hansen announced he’s retiring. It was Hansen who started the push for skills training back in 2008, emphasizing that there will be a million new jobs open by 2019, 600,000 of them due to retiring baby boomers. Hansen made a sales trip to snowy Toronto to launch advertising to lure people to B.C. That effort is being revised with a series of interprovincial and international trips, because even if all 650,000 high school students graduate and go to work in B.C. from now to 2019, it won’t be enough to fill all the jobs on the horizon. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews. com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca.
bad apples In a dry climate, fire safety takes on a special significance. It does not take much to start a fire which can get out of control fast. Some have been discharging fireworks in the community recently. This could have easily resulted in a serious wildfire. After witnessing a fire in Peachland recently and after a fire in Garnett Valley on the weekend, fire safety should be on the minds of everyone here.

Support for project appreciated Dear Editor: I am a founder member of the Summerland organization
called The One Person Project and have recently returned from visiting our tar-
get area in Kahama, Tanzania. Summerland has been extremely sup-
portive of One Person’s aims and goals and I am delighted to report that our com-
bined efforts are truly impacting families and organizations in Kahama.
THE EARLY YEARS
Apples aplenty
Photo courtesy of the Summerland Museum
Picking season in the 1940s: White & Thornthwaite Trucking were kept busy hauling apples from local orchards to the packing houses. It looks like it would have been quite a job loading the boxes on the truck and the driver must have had to be extremely careful with his cargo. A good sized pothole or too much speed on a corner could easily result in applesauce. However, applesauce (and apple pie, apple jelly, apple crisp, apple butter, apple cider or apple whatever) is always best when made with Summerland apples.
Owner should have called 911 Dear Editor: It was amazing to read the recent letter regarding one of Summerland’s bed and breakfast operations in last week’s Review. The visitor articulated some extremely negative comments about their recent stay at the Wildhorse Mountain Ranch in Summerland and pointed the finger at the nearby rifle range. Given the situation described in the letter (shots being
fired after dark), it was stunning to read that the owners did not simply dial 911. It doesn’t matter where a crime is happening, when shots are being fired after dark in Summerland, call 911. But even more shocking, the letter writer states that the owners, with a guest in their home, not only chose to not dial 911; they went out to personally confront a group of people. People who were obviously breaking the law... in the dark...
with guns! That kind of action seems beyond irresponsible. Obviously, there needs to be some educating done when a bed and breakfast owner chooses to undertake such a risky confrontation rather than promptly do the responsible thing: call the police! Summerland RCMP are well equipped, well trained, and very well able to deal with criminal activity in Summerland, and
they will respond, but someone has to call them. If the RCMP had been notified, the lawbreakers probably could have been caught, and no negative letter to the editor would have appeared. To Evelyn von Almassy, the letter writing visitor:, hopefully you will come visit again. I suggest you give Summerland another try. But, if you do come back and if you do encounter any kind of illegal
activity, please do dial 911. And to the few bad apple meatheads who we are told were abusing the rifle range, it’s time to smarten up, because now you know, a neighbour might call the cops and you could face the loss of your guns plus some jail time. Then those of us who do responsibly use that facility can carry on, legally, safely, enjoying the sport we enjoy. Patrick Murphy Summerland
You may be familiar with the 40-foot shipping container in the Penticton WalMart parking lot. We collect medical, educational and other resources and ship them to Tanzania. In this way One Person acts as a conduit, making it easy for one community to help another at all levels. We make regular self-funded visits to monitor our programs and bring back photographs and progress reports. By raising $20,000 each year we are able to send hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of resources that will help the community to become self-sustaining. This year’s team were educational volunteers. We ran an inspiring and successful week-long work shop for 30 primary teachers, who were each sponsored by teachers or families from the Okanagan. We have a medical team heading out to Tanzania in February 2013, headed by Dr. Glen Burgoyne from Penticton. On behalf of The One Person project and the people of Kahama, I sincere-
ly thank everyone involved for their support. I was a little nervous that I might be overwhelmed by the extreme poverty I witnessed on the trip and would perhaps feel that in spite of all our efforts, we would not be able to make a long-term difference. In fact, I saw that it is ridiculously easy to change a life for the better, so very easy to build a hopeful future for children. Tickets are available for our Nov. 3 banquet and silent auction (with a brief presentation on the 2012 trip). You can also purchase a Maple Leaf for the Kahama Tree of Friendship, which is on the side of the shipping container (courtesy of Benjamin Moore, Wal-Mart, Speed Pro Signs, the Penticton Dental Centre and Dr. Glen Burgoyne.)

Centre closed when evacuees were placed Dear Editor: In response to L. Price, Sept. 20, we are fortunate to have humanitarian interests in our community, such as you. The Summerland Emergency Support Service Reception Centre was closed Sunday at midnight. At the conclusion of registering and placing 175 evacuees
in local hotels and motels, we received a directive from Emergency Operations Centre in Kelowna to close, as all evacuees were registered. We take no responsibility for the media and its reporting John Topham Summerland Emergency Support Services Director Summerland

Thursday, September 27, 2012 Summerland Review
Politicians must re-connect with public Dear Editor: Premier Clark is right about a number
of things: Politicians have to re-connect with the
people. They were elected as our trustees and
they should be communicating with the people on a regular
basis, just like directors of private corporations communicate with their shareholders. The most effective way to bring about that dialogue is to hold town hall meetings on a regular basis, to listen to the people, and to discuss the merits of current and new programs and issues. Her recent decision to let the Haisla Indian band take ownership of a swath of coastal waterfront on the Douglas Channel near Kitimat is another example of a bad idea.
A public auction could conceivably have generated millions in revenues for the government directly by means of proceeds from the sale, and indirectly, by means of tax revenues from potential future land users. The disposition of these lands could impede the development of the land, and the free flow of seaborne traffic in the Douglas waterways. She also says ‘this democracy’ belongs to the citizens, but party discipline has effectively destroyed that process.
If Clark wants to re-connect, and to re-establish the relationship with their constituents, she will have to ban party discipline, and insist our MLAs get their direction from the people and vote accordingly, without living in fear of reprisals from the party and leaders. That would be a radical departure from the dictator style governments we have in Canada today, but nothing less will make it happen. Andy Thomsen Summerland
Thanks for returning wallet Stop, drop and read Students and teachers at Summerland Middle School dropped what they were doing and picked up books to read three times during the school day Sept. 19. The Stop, Drop and Read activity helped raise awareness of the importance of reading regularly. The event was part of the local Raise a Reader campaign. Seen here is Leosha Mortensen in the front, with Colby Ross and Sydnee Chick behind her. They were in an English 8 class when the reading break occurred.
THE OFFICIAL 2012 SUMMERLAND VISITORS GUIDE
Dear Editor: I am writing a letter of gratitude to the anonymous person who took the time to return my wallet. They did not have to, but they did. I came home after riding my bike at Dale Meadows Park to find that I had lost my wallet. I was upset because I thought it would be lost forever. The next day at school, I was called down to the office and when I got there, I saw my wal-
let. I realized someone had taken the time to bring it to the school to return it, because it had my school identification in it. If you are the person responsible for turning it in, thank you very much. I am glad that there are Good Samaritans living here in Summerland. Cameron Soo Grade 8 student Summerland

Ask Your Dentist... I was told I need a root canal. From all that I’ve heard, I don’t think I want a root canal. Do I really need it? Mary
Q
Dr. Cindee Melashenko
Well Mary, let me start by explaining what a root canal is. Basically, a root canal is a very thorough cleaning of the inside of your tooth. The objective is to remove the infection but leave your tooth right where it is. Like an accurate weather forecast, most times your dentist can predict an approaching “storm” before you have any symptoms (like pain). It is always best to prevent treatments like root canals if we can. However, once the damage to your tooth has been done, root canals can help you in two important ways. First, they get rid of the infection inside your tooth that will spread to the bone and gums around your tooth. This infection causes pain, and root canals get you out of, or prevent, pain. Second, a root canal can save your tooth. When the infection is present inside your tooth your only options are a root canal or to remove your tooth. Although there are options to replace missing teeth, it is often best to keep what you have. Some teeth are more complicated than others to treat so sometimes you may be referred to an endodontist. Root canals, when done well, can be very successful. A vital part of that success depends on what you put on top of the tooth to protect it after the root canal is done. It is important for your dentist to regularly check your teeth that have had root canals with an x-ray. Better yet, ask your dentist how best to prevent future root canals on your other teeth. Prevention is always cheaper, easier, and more comfortable than treatment. We’re here to help in any way we can. Feel free to call, stop by, or send us an e-mail message. We are always accepting new patients and I’d be happy to answer your question in the next article (anonymously if desired). Have a great week!

The exhibit theme incorporates the colour red and/or an item that is read such as time, text, music, etc. These works are cutting-edge; using drawing and painting tools in computer graphics software and the latest photographic technology and digital printing techniques to create art. A multi-media presentation will showcase other work by this group of digital artists and includes some video clips on digital techniques. The opening reception is Thursday, Oct. 4 from 7 to 9 p.m. There will be an Artist Talk on Oct. 5 at 2 p.m.

PUBLIC NOTICE
RECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT
This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act. Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, November 19, 2012 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, February 18, 2013. The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the Province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

The Summerland Steam added two wins in Junior B hockey action on the weekend. On Friday evening the Summerland Steam played host to the Columbia Valley Rockies, but were anything but kind to the visitors as the game ended in an 8-3 decision. The Steam, after a hard week of practice, stepped up their level of play and vaulted to a 3-0 first period lead with some outstanding goaltending from Connor DeMelo and goals from Taylor Jordan, unassisted; Cooper Holick, assisted by Josh DaCosta; and Easton Bodeux, assisted by Piers Egan and Dylan Burton. The onslaught continued in the second period with the Steam notching three more markers, while Columbia Valley countered with a lone goal mid way through the frame. Brock McDonald, returning from a leg injury, tallied the first goal of the period, with assists drawn by Jordan Boultbee and Nelson Hurry. A goaltending change by Columbia Valley seemed to kick start the Rockies. Just a few minutes after the switch, Dustin Boone scored an unassisted goal to make it 4-1. However, the Steam roared back with a goal by Josh Spence just 41 seconds later. Boultbee chalked up another assist on the marker, and team captain, Doug Chadwick, the other. Then Taylor Jordan put the nail in Columbia’s coffin,

scoring his second of the game, with just 18 seconds left in the second, to make the score 6-1. Holick and Egan drew the assists on his goal. Brett Harris notched his first goal as a junior five minutes into the third period to give Summerland a commanding 7-1 lead, with Burton adding his second helper of the night and Derek Grimm collecting the other assist. The two teams traded goals in the latter part of the frame, with Spence potting his second of the match. Tallying on the play were Boultbee, his third assist of the night, and McDonald. A late power play goal by Columbia was too little, too late as Summerland cruised to the team’s first victory of the season, winning convincingly by a final score of 8-3. On Saturday evening Summerland was on the road for the first time this season, playing in Osoyoos against the Coyotes. This was a tougher contest for them and one in which the team began to play more physically and to execute their systems with a more discipline and cohesiveness. In a first period in which the Steam dominated the play, Taylor Jordan again
led off the scoring with a minute to go in the period, assists going to Kendell Wilson and Josh DaCosta. A barrage of penalties against the Steam in the second, leading to several two man advantages for the Coyotes, gave them the opportunity they needed to tie the game up mid way through the frame. But the Steam, not to be deterred, responded with a power play marker themselves a little over a minute later, taking the lead back at 2-1. Scoring on the play was Derek Grimm, with the helpers going to Chadwick and Harris. Then, with a minute to go in the period, McDonald gave the Steam some breathing room with another power play goal. Jordan Boultbee and Easton Bodeux drew the assists on the play to give the Steam a welcome 3-1 lead heading into the third. The Steam again dominated play in the third, with the Coyotes pressing hard to try and close the gap. The Coyotes did add one early in the third to make the game a little more thrilling down the stretch. However, the Steam did an excellent job of clogging up the middle and gave the Coyotes little opportunity. DeMelo was outstanding again between the pipes, stopping 36 of 38 shots, many of which came during two fiveon-three advantages during the second period.

Hope and help here during fire crisis On Sept. 9 I had the opportunity to work with an incredible group of people – the Summerland Emergency Social Services Group during the evacuation of Peachland during the Trepanier fire.
LEISURE TIMES
Brenda Ingram This group of people, led by John Topham, are so giving and compassionate during an emergency situation.
I watched as Peachland residents arrived at the Summerland arena looking very confused and anxious. The ESS volunteers lead them to the banquet room, gave them warmth, food, comfort and confidence that they would be helped. People from Summerland and Penticton arrived at the arena ready to volunteer and asking what they could do to help. Local residents offered their homes for people and pets. The staff at Nesters came to the arena, left and then returned with trays of food. Murray’s and Yaki’s Pizza brought boxes of pizza. ESS from Penticton brought trays of food and drinks. Andrew from Spud Brothers, who runs the arena concession, was first to the arena

with food and drinks. It was such a heartwarming experience to see how a community could pull together to help their neighbours at a time of need. The Peachland residents were so very thankful to
have a place to go for information and registration with Emergency Services. Our fire department sent firefighters and equipment to Peachland. Remaining firefighters stayed at the arena to help with the
ESS team. The animal rescue team went to Peachland with many Summerland residents and their large animal trailers. When it was safe to open Highway 97, the Provincial ECC decided to send all
the Peachland residents to the Reception Centre in West Kelowna and close the Reception Centre in Summerland to make it easier for Peachland residents. Once again it made me very proud to say
I am a Summerland resident. Brenda Ingram is the Programs and Facilities Manager for the District of Summerland and proud to be a longtime resident of this great community.

Here are some of the students on the run which followed an assembly featuring the Grade 8 band, a pep rally and inspirational speeches. The students were reminded of the words of Terry Fox: “I just wish people would realize that anything’s possible if they try, that dreams are made if people try.”
Title sponsor on for 2013 Granfondo Valley First has announced its continued commitment to the Valley First Granfondo Axel Merckx Okanagan (VFGFAMO) by signing on as the title sponsor for the third successive year. The bike road race winds through the South Okanagan, with the first stop in Summerland early in the morning. Over the last two years, the event has attracted more than 4,500 riders to the
region. Crews and supporters add to the tourism influx. It is estimated the first two editions of the VFGFAMO brought in about $4.5 million to businesses across the region. “The impact of the Granfondo has exceeded even our most optimistic projections,” says Valley First president Paulette Rennie. “Given the incredible benefits this event brings, we’re thrilled to again pledge our commit-
ment as title sponsor.” Beyond the economic spinoffs, the VFGFAMO also has community benefits. This year’s event raised $7,500 and 500 pounds of food for Valley First’s signature cause, Feed the
Valley. Leftover race supplies and recyclables are donated to Feed the Valley. The event also benefits the Axel Merckx Youth Development Foundation, a not-for-profit initiative aimed to help develop young
cyclists in Canada. Registrations for the 2013 Valley First Granfondo Axel Merckx Okanagan are now open. Register now at granfondoaxelmerc k x . c o m / re g i s t r a tion/register.

Make time for education Many successful small business owners share the ability to see the big picture and envision what their success will look like tomorrow. There are a variety of ways small business owners can focus on the future and keep moving forward. One of the key activities is to keep learning. There will always be more to be learned and applied for even greater success. You can advance your knowledge through classroom training, workshops, online training, selfpaced programs, collaborative opportunities, mentoring, and general reading. The Chamber of Commerce seeks out learning opportunities and we want to make our local business owners aware of them. Three such
opportunities are available now: The first is the Micro Business Training Program. The Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation is providing up to $1,500 in grant funds to micro business owners so that they can access training. There are a few criteria: you must be a B.C. resident and a business owner with fewer than five employees and you cannot already hold any recognized certifications. In Summerland, the program is administered through the Summerland Chamber of Commerce so please contact us and we can provide you with the information. You can access a variety of general business training such as Bookkeeping, Marketing & Sales, Management, Computing,
CHAMBER CORNER
Arlene Fenrich Websites and Social Media, etc. Participants can access training through public and private universities and colleges, PCTIA accredited organizations, local Chambers of Commerce and the Chamber Learning Network. The second learning opportunity is a Branding for Small Business workshop being hosted by the Penticton Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, Oct. 18. Facilitated by Jennifer Taylor of taylormadeideas. ca, this workshop will help owners of small businesses understand the importance of creating and maintaining a consistent brand. The workshop will guide participants on creating a brand vision for their business and effectively communicating it in every area of their company. Check out the poster for this workshop on our website at summerlandchamber.com. Lastly, small busi-
nesses can learn about doing business with the federal government. Public Works and Government Services Canada’s Office of Small and Medium Enterprises helps small and medium businesses understand how the federal government does its purchasing. The office typically assists businesses ranging in size from soleproprietors up to 20 employees. Approximately 63 per cent of their contracts go to small and medium businesses ($4.6 billion in the last three years) and they are coming to the Okanagan to teach businesses how to participate. The Summerland Chamber of Commerce will host this free seminar on Nov. 21 and Peachland and Penticton Chamber members are also invited. The seminar will provide the essential information on how the government does its buying, how to register to sell to the government, how to keep track of opportunities, how to market to the federal government, and how to bid on opportunities. Arlene Fenrich is President of the Summerland Chamber of Economic Development and Tourism and the owner of Edgy Petals. All of the members of The Board of Directors serve as volunteers.
Roadwork Construction crews are at work on Prairie Valley Road. A roundabout will be installed at the intersection of Prairie Valley Road and Victoria Road South.
