John Arendt Summerland Review

Caroline Durick celebrated her 106th birthday at Summerland Seniors’ Village last week. Durick is the oldest resident at the care facility and one of the oldest in Summerland.

The municipality will revisit the urban growth strategy in the Official Community Plan. On Monday, council gave early approval to the $65,000 cost of the review. The existing Official Community Plan was adopted in 2008. At that time, since plans were in the works for the Summerland Hills Golf Resort development, more than one-third of the community’s growth area was the site for the proposed development. The development was expected to add around 1,700 housing units. Early in 2010, the developers behind Summerland Hills chose to let the plan expire. Discussions about a proposed development at the western edge of the municipality had been going on for 15 to 20 years and developers had spent more than $1 million on their plan. When the plan expired, the municipality was left with no other areas set aside for future growth. “It is no longer appropriate because of Summerland Hills,” said Mayor Janice Perrino. “We need to review and ask where are the best places for us to grow.” “We’re not just looking at the next five years; we’re looking at 50 years,” said Coun. Orv Robson. See REVISED Page 7

Wharton Street concept shown Development proposal would allow mix of uses by John Arendt Developers behind the proposed Wharton Street project presented their plans at an information session on Thursday evening. But the final details of

the proposed development have not yet been completed. “We are currently in the conceptual planning stage,” said Randy Gibson, one of the developers. “This is the time we’re looking for input.” The project will be a mix of residential, institutional and commercial spaces. The buildings are

to be constructed on the block of Wharton Street between Kelly Avenue and Rosedale Avenue. Gibson said there is interest in the project. “There are a lot of local businesses that would like to be involved,” he said. The first building would include a new space for the library as

well as three floors of residential spaces. The library would cover 790 square metres, considerably more than the present 316 square metres. Residential units would range from 46 to 88 square metres. Mike Stohler, a Summerland real estate agent working with the developers, said there is

interest in smaller residential units. He added that in other developments, the smallest of the units tend to sell quickly. Other buildings in the development would contain a mix of various uses. “We’re creating a place where people can live, work and interact.” Gibson said. See MULTIPLE Page 8

EDITORIAL

our pick

Planning for growth In 2008, when the latest Official Community Plan was adopted, the growth area was limited. More than one-third of the urban growth area in the plan was the site of the proposed Summerland Hills Golf Resort development. The plan seemed sensible since the development would have added around 1,700 housing units to the community. Then, when the development plan was abandoned, Summerland was left with a community plan which no longer made much sense. There is a need for the community to review its urban growth strategy. Summerland needs a community plan. More than that, this plan must be kept up to date if it is to have any value. In the past, all issues of growth and land use at the municipal level have been decided together in the Official Community Plan. Building a comprehensive plan as a single unit seems to make sense until one considers the time and effort involved. The community plan adopted in 2008 and the previous plan, adopted in the mid-1990s took several years of intense work for the municipality’s planning department. Working on one section at a time becomes much more manageable for the planning department, for those who wish to provide input into the plan and for the council members who will ultimately make a decision on the proposed changes. The biggest drawback to breaking up revisions to the plan comes because the various parts of the plan are connected to a greater or lesser degree. A decision on urban growth may also affect industrial land areas or transportation plans. Still, working on an updated plan for urban growth by itself and adjusting other areas affected by this revision will be much simpler and much less expensive than reworking the entire plan.

Volunteers have stepped forward and the Summerland Fall Fair will continue to be a reality. The fair has been a Summerland tradition since 1909 and still draws large crowds. Keeping the fair running takes a lot of effort. The volunteers will have plenty of work ahead of them before next fall. Their commitment and dedication will help make the fair a reality for another year.

Poverty of politics continues VICTORIA – B.C.’s ritual day of shame over child poverty has come and gone once again, with politicians trading blame and time-worn talking points. The occasion was an annual gathering staged at the B.C. Teachers’ Federation office in downtown Vancouver. It is organized by First Call, an umbrella group sponsored by the BCTF, the B.C. Govern- Tom Fletcher ment Employees’ Union and a collection of like-minded “anti-poverty activists,” as they describe themselves in their latest report. The familiar script unfolded. The report misinterprets federal income statistics from two years ago and calls for a long list of uncosted, but hugely expensive measures that they assert will make B.C. the first jurisdiction in human history to eradicate poverty. A sampling: provide raises for employees and contractors at all levels of government until they are making an unspecified “living wage,” because we all know how public sector workers uniquely suffer from pay and pension inequality. Raise the minimum wage again and index it to inflation. Establish universal public dental care, prescription drug and eye care programs, and daycare. (Dismiss targeted programs that already provide this.) Raise welfare rates and expand eligibility for employment insurance. Cut tuition and

provide more student grants. Eliminate homelessness. And so it continues toward a socialist Utopia and certain bankruptcy for provincial and federal governments already deeply in the red. I wrote about these numbers when Statistics Canada released them back in June. They showed a modest improvement nationally and provincially in what they measure, which is not poverty, but the relative relationship between income groups. First Call dismisses that improve-

a plan. It’s the only province that finished below B.C. in the percentage of children living in low-income homes. These plans are mainly gesture politics, providing the appearance of action. Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux spoke on behalf of the B.C. Liberal government, and she, too, stuck to a familiar script. The best path out of poverty is a job, she said. This is true, but also obvious. Then Cadieux went on about the “B.C. Jobs Plan,” which has its own sorry record of mis-

And so it continues toward a socialist Utopia and certain bankruptcy for provincial and federal governments already deeply in the red. ment as “a dismal record.” My point is not to deny that there are many poor people in B.C. and Canada. But at this point we don’t even have a reliable way of measuring the problem, let alone effective solutions. The report states: “Statistics Canada said the child poverty rate in Greater Vancouver was 18.4 per cent in 2010 …” No, Statistics Canada didn’t say that. They said what they always say, that “Low-Income CutOff,” or LICO figures, are not an accurate measure of poverty. The political response was equally predictable. Veteran NDP MP Libby Davies led the charge in Ottawa. The government must establish a national anti-poverty strategy with firm annual goals, she said, reciting the identical script of the B.C. NDP. Davies didn’t mention that Manitoba is among the provinces with such

represented federal statistics. Here’s one of the report’s more blindingly obvious section headings: “Child poverty concentrated in big cities.” No kidding. The whole population is concentrated in big cities. Herein lies a clue that is missed by “activists” for everlarger government. Poor people are increasingly crowded into the most expensive places. If I’m on welfare or working in a low-wage job and receiving a provincial rent subsidy, should I live in downtown Victoria or Vancouver? Shouldn’t I relocate to a smaller community where housing is cheaper? There are lots of complications to this, but some kind of incentive to relocate could help big and small communities.

culls

At this time of year, there are many initiatives to help those who are less fortunate, through gift drives, food bank drives and other efforts. While the generosity shown during the holiday season is truly inspiring, it is sad that such needs exist. Summerland is a prosperous community, but there are also some among us who are struggling financially. While the generous efforts are appreciated, as a community and as a society we also need to look at how we address issues surrounding poverty in our midst.

Water metering not simply a tax grab

Dear Editor: Last week, you published a letter criticizing our local government for its effort to meter water usage in Summerland and charge people on the basis of their consumption. There may be good

reason to criticize that effort in terms of its troubled implementation but not in terms of the principle involved. Apparently, last week’s correspondent thinks that any revenue collected by government is a tax. Hence, any

attempt to put in a more rational pricing scheme for public services — including fee for service where it can be done — is simply another revenue grab. This argument is woefully simplistic and does great disservice to an import-

ant debate. Where the technology exists to charge me for my particular water consumption habits rather than have my neighbour subsidize me — or vice versa — I see absolutely no argument in support of the current flat fee

system. Indeed, I am surprised our critic did not go on to suggest that we should stop metering electricity consumption as well and simply move to a per capita charge. The broad debate about levels of taxa-

tion generally is far too important to be trivialized by a muddled argument aimed at user fees. Years ago, the Secretary of the Treasury Board in Ottawa (the federal government department concerned with expenditure man-

agement) had a sign over his desk which read, “Any government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you’ve got.” Think about it. Mark R. Daniels Summerland

The Early years

Downtown—just for the fun of it

Photo courtesy of the Summerland Museum

Summerland residents are always ready for a sociable downtown gathering. In this photo from 1960 the event is the annual Kiwanis Street Carnival, complete with rides for the kids, concession stands and carnival games. One of the most popular activities was the Fish Pond where children could cast a line to catch a surprise. On Friday, Nov. 30, the 25th Annual Festival of Lights provides a wonderful opportunity to gather downtown for tons of fun, food, shopping and surprises. It’s a great place to make memories. Don’t miss it.

Remembrance Day concerns will be addressed Dear Editor: A recent letter to the Summerland Review voiced concerns about this year’s Remembrance Day ceremony. The Summerland Legion is responsible for the ceremony. Although the basic format of the ceremony is consistent throughout the nation, each community tailors the

observance based on local tradition and conditions. The first complaint was that the wreaths are removed too quickly after the event. Officially there is no protocol for the duration of wreath displays for Remembrance Day. As one of the many Legion volunteers, I have been respon-

sible for retrieving the wreaths on the evening of Remembrance Day. My experience has been that, unfortunately weather dictates that the wreaths need to be removed on a timely basis as quite often the windy rainy conditions topple the wreaths. The Legion membership feels that

wreaths scattered about the park is disrespectful. In the past, wreaths have been stolen and vandalized. Despite the above, next year I will attempt to affix a single wreath to the cenotaph, which can hopefully remain safely overnight. The second complaint was that the public address sys-

tem performed poorly. It was purchased at great expense by the Legion just a few years ago. We acknowledge that it did not perform adequately on Nov. 11. We are unsure if this was caused by poor placement of the speakers, the windy conditions or possibly that the equipment is not

suitable for the larger crowds. The public address system will be tested by the Legion on Canada Day with the goal to rectify this problem. It is the Legion’s objective to continuously improve the Remembrance Day experience in Summerland with the goal of honouring our fallen properly

and in a manner that meets the expectations of the community. In summary, I personally am distressed that critics are compelled to play out their opinions in the popular press, rather than voicing concerns directly to the person or organization responsible. John Dorn Summerland

Positive meeting with Steam Dear Editor: I recently had the pleasure of dealing with the management of the Summerland Steam. I contacted them about having my sons’s team attend a home game. The general manager went above and beyond for our kids to have a great night out. He provided our team with tickets and arranged for our boys to meet the players after the game. The Steam players were so gracious and patiently waited for the kids to have their pucks signed by all. This is a fantastic organization and a great addition to Summerland. I would encourage everyone to go out to a game and support your local team — it’s a great hockey experience! Davina Bilenki Summerland

Driver should have stopped to help cyclist Dear Editor: Open letter to “You Know Who You Are” On Thursday, Nov. 22 at around 10:30 a.m. you were driving your car turning left from Steven Avenue onto Elliot Street. You slowed down at the stop sign, didn’t see anything coming and proceeded through the intersection. However, you missed the cyclist who had just turned right from Hunt Street onto Elliot Street. You hit the cyclist who was knocked to

the ground, blocking your car from moving forward. Rather than getting out and checking and seeing if the cyclist needed assistance, you backed up and drove around her and carried on your way. Maybe you panicked or were afraid to admit what you had done. Calling the RCMP and reporting your involvement won’t take away what you did but it might help you sleep at night. Do the right thing.

Once serious causes are ruled out, there are things you can do to manage the symptoms. Eat small portions more frequently and chew slowly & thoroughly, avoid chewing gum, sodas & trigger foods, reduce stress, get plenty of rest and manage your weight. People who suffer from Crohn’s Disease can benefit from keeping a food diary to help identify “trigger” foods which aggravate their condition. Dairy products are a common trigger which can increase diarrhea, abdominal pain and gas. Fatty foods are often not well-digested and can lead to diarrhea as well. Also, watch for “gassy” foods, (cabbage, beans, fruit), spicy foods, alcohol and caffeine. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) includes Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. These can be extremely painful conditions and the cause is not well-understood. Recently, a study found that those living in southern states had a 52% lower rate of Crohn’s and 38% lower rate of colitis! The results suggest the role of sunshine/vitamin D in immunity and the inflammatory responses that lead to these conditions. In Scotland, another study has discovered that friendly bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract were 30 times lower in patients with colitis compared to healthy people. The researchers then developed a probiotic to treat the colitis patients and found it significantly reduced the pain and discomfort – to near normal levels. Ongoing research may result in a new mode of therapy. Chronic conditions such as Crohn’s and colitis can be very wearing on the sufferer. Often, a few small changes to lifestyle can make a big difference. Talk to our pharmacists for helpful tips.

Volunteers step forward for Fall Fair New directors join board for coming year by John Arendt Despite earlier concerns about a shortage of volunteer directors, the Summerland Fall Fair will continue for the 104th year in 2013. Earlier, past president Connie Davis said the fair was in dire need of new board members.

There were just five volunteer directors on the board. She said at least nine and ideally 12 were needed. At a meeting on Nov. 21, volunteers stepped forward and there are now 10 board members for the coming year. “Summerland made it quite clear that they would like the fair to continue,” Davis said. “The

104th year will go ahead.” She added that the board represents a variety of ages, from seniors to parents of younger children. “We’ve got quite a varied age group represented.” The new board president is Cindy Nelson and the vicepresident is Lisa Jaager. Frank Belden is treasurer and Angela Sielmann is secretary.

Directors are Connie Davis, Ray Davis, Henry Sielmann, Ashley Selwood, Ken Roberge and Bill Aus-

terms. Davis described the new board as “eager and feisty” and said the members

“Summerland made it quite clear that they would like the fair to continue. The 104th year will go ahead.”

are ready to work on the next fair. The board will

hold its next meeting in December. There are numerous tasks which must be completed by spring in order to hold the fair in fall. For next year, the fair board is considering a move to a different weekend of the fall. The wineries will also play a more significant role in the next fair. For the past two years, a wine

competition has been held in conjunction with the Fall Fair. Other events are being considered to ensure the fair has a strong component to appeal to families.

Revised community plan will continue to change Continued from Page 1

She added that the community plan should not be seen as a permanent document but rather as something static and fluid. Perrino said she

would like lots of public input during the review. She said she would like to see municipal officials and consultants speak with a few thousand people.

“We want to make sure there’s involvement,” she said. The process to rework the bylaw to change the growth strategy is expected to take around a year.

Library gives approval to Wharton plan by John Arendt The Okanagan Regional Library board has given its support to the Wharton Street development. At the board’s meeting on Nov. 14, the board approved a motion to pursue the development site as the location for a new Summerland library branch. Staff will begin negotiations with the developer. The proposed development on Wharton Street would replace the existing Summerland library branch. The first building would include space

for a newer, larger library. The present library branch is 316 square metres, or 45 per cent of the size needed to serve Summerland’s population. The size the developers are considering for the new branch is around 790 square metres, said Randy Gibson, one of the developers. Mayor Janice Perrino said the library would be a welcome part of the development. “We were thrilled to hear this,” she said. “This will be a place that is vibrant, strong and healthy for our downtown.”

Proposed building

While the details have not yet been determined, a proposed development on Wharton Street would provide a new location for the Summerland Library as well as residential and commercial units.

Multiple buildings in development Continued from Page 1

The plan calls for multiple buildings on the property. Gibson said the market will dictate the specific details of the various buildings. The development proposal represents the second time such a concept has come up for Wharton Street

within the past decade. Earlier, a developer had proposed a series of buildings on the site, up to seven storeys high, to include a mix of institutional, residential and commercial spaces. However, the concept was abandoned early in 2011 after the

developer at the time did not purchase the property by the Jan. 15, 2011 deadline.

Following the expiration of the property, municipal staff revisited the

concept and prepared an updated expression of interest document for the property.

School bus funding presented by John Arendt The Okanagan Skaha School District has received funding to purchase two new school buses. On Thursday, the province announced

the school district will receive $270,262 from a province-wide $14 million initiative. Around British Columbia, 125 new school buses will be purchased. The clean diesel

buses reduce exhaust particulate emissions by 90 per cent compared to the 1994 standard. Fuel economy is 30 to 60 per cent better than for gasolinepowered buses. The 84-passenger

buses are to replace buses already in place. To receive funding for a new bus, the existing bus must be at least 15 years old or have more than 400,000 kilometres.

“It’s important that local school districts have enough buses to meet rising demand. This investment will benefit students, parents, and school districts across B.C.,” said MLA Bill Barisoff.

Two other school districts in the region will also receive funding for new buses. School District 51 will receive $540,523 for four buses while School District 53 will receive $135,131 for

one bus. In British Columbia, there are around 1,200 buses owned and operated by school districts. Another 600 are operated by bus companies under contract.

Police report Driver left scene

A driver left the scene of a collision with a bicyclist the morning of Nov. 22 at Steven Avenue and Elliott Street. The rider was knocked to the ground and taken to hospital with undetermined injuries. The driver did not stop.

Cash stolen

Money was stolen from the cash drawer at a concession at Summerland Arena. The theft was reported the morning of Nov. 23. No forced entry was reported.

Council outlines goals by John Arendt Municipal council has set out its goals and objectives for the next two years. The goals and objectives were presented at the municipal council meeting on Monday. They include sustainability, social development, environmental protection, strengthening the economy, running the municipality efficiently and effectively and working within limited financial resources. Sustainability is seen as a focus on

social development, environmental protection and economic growth. Within the goals are specific items surrounding a transit service for the community, something which has been considered for several years. One of the items calls for obtaining and considering a feasibility study for a transit service. Housing options will also be considered. Providing housing includes considering a variety of housing alterna-

tives, reviewing land use options and providing various forms of densification. For environmental protection, funds will be set aside. A climate action committee has been created to help municipal staff achieve the goals in the community’s Climate Action Plan. Strengthening the economy includes providing land for future growth, promoting Summerland as a tourist destination, developing an economic development marketing

strategy and working with the Summerland Chamber of Economic Development and Tourism and other organizations to help new and existing businesses. Efforts are also included in the goals and objectives to improve customer service and to streamline municipal operations. To work with the municipality’s available funds, council will examine alternate sources of revenue. Council will also work to retain and build relationships with other governments. Mayor Janice Per-

rino said the goals and objectives examine what council has done and what will be done. “You plan the work and work the plan,” she said. Municipal administrator Tom Day said the list of goals should not be seen as a firm and inflexible plan. “This document is a fluid document and council will receive formal updates from staff every four months on the progress made towards accomplishing council’s goals as well as details of day to day activities, so council can be aware of staff’s progress,” he said in a report to council.

Print books continue to circulate at library Richard Rolke Black Press

Traditional books aren’t being replaced by new technology.

Circulation of print materials is down three per cent within Okanagan Regional Library, while the download of audio-

books and ebooks has almost doubled. However, executive director Lesley Dieno says the agency still circulates three mil-

lion print items a year. “Lots of people, and especially teens, want print,” she said. “They (teens) read computers and phones all day long and when they are ready for pleasure, they want print.” There is also a growing demand within print materials for books with large type and languages other than English. But many ORL patrons are embracing the latest in technology. “So far this year, 83,000 ebooks have been downloaded,” said Dieno. Other services are also proving popular. The number of downloads of music from the Freegal database is up 80 per cent and the collection of magazines from Zinio is being used at a high rate. With increasing demands for reading material and music in various forms, financial pressures are being placed on ORL. “We’re just adding things on, we’re not getting rid of anything,” said Dieno.

Money spent here stays here

For every $100 spent here, $68 comes back to the community through expenditures if spending with an independent business. Spend the same amount at a national retailer and only $43 is put back into that community. Spend the same amount online with an out of town retailer and $0 comes back to the community.

Jobs and wages

Money needs to stay in the community if we are going to provide jobs. We can’t hire you, your spouse, your kids or any other friends and family members without being able to grow our businesses. And receiving service from friends, family and neighbours means we get to know you and your needs like nobody else. You can’t beat that for great service.

And the more you shop here, the more varieties growers can provide etc. If you can’t get what you want locally make a point to ask that friendly businesses owner if they can get it in. If the item is not available ask if they have substitution recommendations or know of another local supplier for the product. Buying at least four of the five things you need here WILL make a difference to the health of the community you live in.

In our last article for the Summerland Review, we shared our excitement about the upcoming 25th Annual Festival of Lights with the readers. The majority of the events and activities that evening are happening on Main Street and Victoria Road — your downtown. In addition to being a fun community event, Light Up has long been considered a way to showcase our eclectic town centre and highlight the many businesses that reside there to provide services for us. It is considered the kick-off to the local holiday shopping season. And while it is important to visit your favourite shops, restaurants and professional service providers downtown, it is also important to remember all the other wonderful businesses we have right here in Summerland and the importance of supporting them all year long also. Let’s take a look at some of the top reasons why it’s so important to think

Addressing child poverty issues Recently the First Call organization released the annual report card on child poverty. This is a very important subject and as I have done in previous years, I believe it is important to look at these reports in greater detail. From a historical perspective, from 1976 up until

approximately 1984, child poverty rates in British Columbia were below the Canadian national average, unfortunately since the early 80’s B.C. has largely had a much poorer record. Even those years when B.C. dropped below the Canadian average, our provincial child poverty rates were

still unacceptably high. In the most recent year of reporting, 2010, the BC child poverty rating is estimated in the First Call report at 14.3 per cent (before tax) again above the National average of 13.7 per cent. From a provincial perspective, Manitoba has the highest rates in Canada at

17.6 per cent while Quebec and Ontario have rates that are basically the same as in British Columbia. The more important consideration is what actions are being taken in order to help lower child poverty rates. Over the past five years British Columbia has introduced a number of initiatives intended to assist lower income families. The B.C. rental assistance program, all day kindergarten, fair pharmacare, increased affordable housing as well as increased daycare spaces and an increased minimum wage have all been aimed at assisting those families most in need. By the numbers the rental assistance program now benefits close to 30,000 families and there are now 18,000 new affordable housing units constructed province wide with a further 4,000 units still underway. In terms of daycare there are now approximately 100,000 licensed spaces that are fund-

ed and for working families B.C. now has the lowest personal income tax rates in all of Canada. More recently the minimum wage was raised and the recent B.C. jobs program has been successful in helping to ensure that British Columbia is a leading province in Canada in the creation of new jobs, in fact over 56,000 new jobs have been added to the BC economy since February of 2011. For taxpayers it is also important to recognize that these programs represent significant investments of tax dollars. As a result it is also important to review what progress or lack of progress is being made with respect to reducing childhood poverty not just in British Columbia, but all across Canada. Looking over B.C. childhood poverty rates over the past five years and over the past 25 years provides a context that can be helpful to see what direction our province is headed. In this case, our current child poverty rates in B.C., although

Victoria Views

Bill Barisoff certainly deserving of further reduction, are currently at the second lowest level recorded since 1980, and have dropped 45 per cent since 2003. Fortunately the Canadian child poverty rate has also been in decline and while both B.C. and Canada are showing lower child poverty rates we must also continue to build on programs that can benefit those most in need. Before I close this week’s report it also needs to be pointed out that increasing spending and adding programs is in itself not a complicated task. However finding the tax dollars to pay for increased spending is a challenge and

more so given that citizens have made it clear that increased taxation is something a majority of citizens will oppose. Ultimately as personal income taxes, sales taxes and MSP premiums combined no longer cover just the healthcare budget, other sources of revenue will need to be identified. The resource sector is currently one of British Columbia’s greatest assets in the ability to promote job creation and also to increase government revenues. Increasingly there are citizens who campaign against resource development in British Columbia and often they are one and the same who also advocate for increased government spending. If we are to sustainably increase government spending then we must also be willing to either accept increased taxation or support more revenue generating projects that can be found in the resource sector. Bill Barisoff is the MLA for riding of Penticton.

Choir performs Christmas music The sounds of the holiday season will come alive as the Penticton Tune-Agers perform at a special concert early next month. “It puts us in the mood for Christmas,” said Peggy Whitley, a member of the musical group. She added that the concert will feature a mix of traditional and modern music, not all of it Christmas songs.

There are around 60 singers and musicians in the TuneAgers. Some of the pieces will feature singers without accompaniment while others will be orchestral numbers. The Summerland concert has been a tradition in Summerland, but it was not held last year. Conductor Gerald Nadeau began working with the musical group in September,

2011. Because of the transition to a new conductor, the concert was cancelled. “Each new conductor brings new things to the group,” Whitley said. This year’s concert will be held Dec. 9 at 2:30 p.m. at Summerland United Church. Tickets are available at Indulgences, from any member of the Tune-Agers or at the door.

Steam winning streak at four games The Summerland Steam completed the week with a 3-2 overtime win in Penticton Saturday night. Summerland’s Steve Semenoff scored in overtime to seal the victory for the visiting Steam.

The win capped a busy week playing five games in nine nights, which saw the Steam win its last four games, with wins in Columbia Valley 11-0, at home against firstplace Princeton 3-1 and Creston 5-4 in

overtime. On Tuesday night 200 fans witnessed a 3-1 Steam victory over the first-place Princeton Posse. This ended Princeton’s five-game winning streak and was the Steam’s second

win in as many games. Olli Dickson lead the way playing a physical game and potting a goal, goaltender Connor DeMelo was brilliant in net, stopping 34 of 35 shots.

Brock MacDonald lead the defence with two assists. Creston Valley Thunder Cats were in town Friday and managed to take the Steam into overtime, despite being outplayed and outshot 44-30. Creston scored shorthanded with five seconds remaining in regulation time to send the game into overtime. However, Brett Harris scored his second of the night

with 14 seconds left in overtime to get the Steam’s third consecutive win. Harris, Semenoff and Bodeux all had three point nights for the winners. The Steam lost the services of leading

scorer Jordan Boultbee last week. Boultbee has signed with the Penticton Vees. The Steam wish Jordan all the best and will miss his leadership and relentless work ethic. The Steam are on the road for two games. Then they are returning home to take on the powerful Kelowna Chiefs on Tuesday Dec. 4 at 7:30 p.m.

The news out of Montreal was very good the other day. RCMP had broken a fraud ring which was responsible for scamming people out of millions of dollars a year. The ring preyed on elderly people over the telephone. The darker, lonlier days of winter are their favourite time to ply their trade. They take advantage of the fact that in winter many seniors (their usual targets) are most likely to be cooped up at home without family or otherwise friendly contact. With their very polished pitches they befriend people and convince them to send money for all manner of items or services which will never appear. The best way to protect yourself against these people is to have a very healthy scepticism for any deal or product that sounds too good to be true. The simple fact is, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is! Do not be afraid to phone a friend or family member if you receive a letter or call from someone with the deal of a lifetime. Ask them what they think of it. In addition ask for as much information as you can from the caller and check up on them. If the deal is legitimate, they won't mind you protecting yourself. If they do, then it's a very good sign that they are not who or what they say they are. While this latest group of criminals is gone be sure that someone else will jump in and takeover their spot. Please be cautious.

Summerland Review Thursday, November 29, 2012

Trek follows historic trail through Spain by John Arendt For Allan and Ronda Fabbi, a 34-day trek on a trail in Spain was a personal challenge. In September and October, they hiked the historic El Camino de Santiago trail. In English, the name translates to The Way of St. James. Between 100,000 and 150,000 people hike the 825-kilo-

metre trail each year. For many Catholics, it is a spiritual pilgrimage. For the Fabbis, it was a way to mark turning 60. “It was a great accomplishment being able to do it,” said Ronda Fabbi. The Fabbis heard about the trail through Yasmin JohnThorpe and Rick Thorpe, who hiked it in 2010. John-Thorpe later

On the trail

wrote a book about the experience. “She was our inspiration for doing it,” Alan Fabbi said. The Fabbis began their preparations in February, looking for appropriate clothing and footwear and training for the lengthy walk. When they began the hike in St. Jean on Sept. 14, they soon discovered it was an ever-changing

Allan and Ronda Fabbi spent 34 days this fall hiking the El Camino de Santiago trail in Spain. The historic route covers 825 kilometres.

experience. “The thing about the Camino is it’s a metaphor of life,” Allan Fabbi said. The trail, through the Pyrnees Mountains, changes from day to day and the weather ranged from warm and pleasant to cold and rainy. At times, there were steep climbs and steep descents. Along they way, they stayed in hostels, in modest hotels or pensions and at a monastery for one night. They said the hospitality along the way was impressive. “Most communities really embraced the Camino.” When they arrived at the trail’s end on Oct. 17, it was a cold, wet day and they were drenched from their hike in Santiago, just 30 kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean. “We were proud of what we had accomplished,” Allan Fabbi said. “We walked every step of the way.” A full account of their trek can be found online at fabbicamino.tumblr.com.
