Budget figures studied

Council and finance committee hope to minimize tax increases by John Arendt

WWW.SUMMERLANDREVIEW.COM

While municipal council and staff and the

finance committee are preparing the 2013 budget, a significant tax increase is not in the works, Mayor Janice Perrino said. “We’re examining our options,” she said. “Our finance committee has gone to great depth to

look at our needs.” She said there are no big changes planned for this year’s municipal budget, but the municipality will make sure to have enough money to pay its debts and keep up with infrastructure demands.

For this year, the municipality is working on upgrades on Prairie Valley Road. In recent years, other infrastructure projects have included the upgrade to Rosedale Avenue and Prairie Val-

ley Road, the expansion of Thirsk Dam and the water treatment plant. Borrowing was required for each of these projects and the municipality is continuing to pay down the debts. See EFFORTS Page 3

Crime Stoppers tips increasing by John Arendt

When Crime Stoppers in the South Okanagan was set up in 1992, the service received around 50 crime tips a year. Today, that number has increased to between 300 and 400 tips a year. “Some days we get none; some days we get six,” said Al Sismey, regional Crime Stoppers

coordinator. The South Okanagan Similkameen Crime Stoppers covers communities from Summerland to Osoyoos and west to Princeton. It is a non-police program. Information is received confidentially and passed on to police. Sismey said tips are received anonymously and the identity of those

giving information is not released. “Anonymity has always been one of our pillars,” Sismey said. “We will go to the wall to protect a tipster.” The tips have included information about drug activity, homicides, serious assaults, home invasions and human trafficking. Many of the crimes are

drug-related, he added. “Drugs, whether we want to admit it or not, are the root cause of a lot of crimes.” While police will investigate every tip they receive, the tips do not all lead to arrests. Still, he said the information can provide an important part to an investigation. “Every tip doesn’t end up in a successful

conclusion, but it ends up with information the police can use,” Sismey said. In addition to the tollfree telephone line at 1-888-222-TIPS (8477) information can also be sent as a text message to SOSTIPS (274637) or online through the South Okanagan Similkameen Crime Stoppers website at sostips.ca.

Ministry makes changes to delivery of services

Police report Three-day ban

Police received a report of a suspected drunk driver the evening of Jan. 19. They located the vehicle on Johnson Street and administered a roadside screening test. The results were in the “warn” range so the driver was issued a three-day driving prohibition.

Hit ice

A vehicle hit a patch of ice and skidded into a fence and mailboxes on Jones Flat Road the morning of Jan. 19. Damage to the vehicle was more than $1,000. No one was injured.

Wine missing

Somebody entered a garage on Oak Avenue and stole some homemade red and white wine. The theft was reported to Summerland RCMP Jan. 8.

R e p re s e n t a t i v e s with the Ministry of Children and Family Development say the changes to service in the South Okanagan were made in order to improve service in the area. In December, the ministry announced changes for the region which affect the Summerland office. “All ministry intake calls for Penticton and Summerland will be handled through the Penticton office, using a single contact number,” a statement from the

Trouble at turn

Two pickup trucks collided at the intersection of Jubilee Road and Sinclair Road the evening of Jan. 17. One was stopped at the stop sign waiting to turn right onto Jubilee when the other vehicle struck it while attempting to turn onto Sinclair from Jubilee. No one was hurt.

At the Jan. 14 municipal council meeting, Debra Hardman, community services manager in the South Okanagan for the ministry, said the changes were first discussed in 2010, when

the ministry started examining changes to the way it delivered services in the region. Earlier, Summerland cases were handled through the ministry’s Summerland office. Hardman said handling calls from one office will eliminate redundancies which had occurred with multiple offices all handling intake work. But members of municipal council had questions about how the changes will affect service in Summerland. Council members were also concerned about the potential loss of the ministry’s Summerland office. “We are in a downward trend to eliminating the ministry

Donation assists KidSport KidSport Summerland is thriving and recently received a $1,000 cheque from MLA Bill Barisoff to assist the program. KidSport Summerland is a community based sport-funding program established during the Winter Olympics in 2010. KidSport Summerland is part of both a national and provincial branch and the uniqueness of the program is that all funds raised stay in Summerland. The local KidSport Summerland committee has now assisted more than 75 youth to play sports. More than 15 organizations and individuals have made donations to the program and more than $10,000 have been donated to children and families in Summerland. These donations

During her time as mayor, Perrino has worked to keep tax increases low. Last year, taxes rose by 1.5 per cent per cent and in 2011, the increase was one per cent. “It’s the toughest

part of our job,” Perrino said. “We hate to go with any sort of a tax increase.” While municipal council has been slow to raise taxes, Perrino added that the municipality is not looking to make substantial spending cuts in

order to keep the tax level from increasing. “It’s not about sav-

ing tax dollars; it’s about good government,” she said.

The budget will be presented and finalized later in spring.

It is very common for adults to be missing one or more teeth, you are not alone. Teeth can be lost due to fracturing, infection, trauma or gum disease. In my experience, these things happen at a very inconvenient time for my patients. Replacing teeth will add more surface to your bite and help you chew better. It can also give you confidence in the way your teeth look and make you feel like smiling again. There are several ways to replace teeth. We can put something in that doesn’t come out at night, like a dental implant or bridge. Some patients use a removable denture for a short time to help fill the space. Most patients prefer a dental implant since it builds a brand new tooth in the space that feels and looks the most natural and will last the longest. A dental bridge is done by crowning the adjacent teeth and connecting them together for a natural look. A removable denture is similar to a bridge, but is both less functional and less expensive. Ultimately the decision to replace, and how to replace, a missing tooth is yours. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with your dentist and both of you can come up with a plan that is best for you. 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!

EDITORIAL

our pick

A study of taxes Municipal council, staff and the municipality’s finance committee are working to draft the budget for 2013. The budget, at more than $10 million, covers the costs of keeping the municipality running. As costs increase, the budget figures must also increase in order to maintain the same level of services as in the past. While tax increases are never pleasant, the increases are needed in order to maintain the level of service provided by the municipality. Last year, taxes rose by 1.5 per cent and the year before, the increase was one per cent. Those responsible for the budget have an unenviable task before them. The total costs for the municipality are not cheap and the money needed will come from the taxpayers who want to know they are getting the best possible value. If comments made following previous budgets are any indication, there will be some opposition to any tax increase, no matter how small. In the last municipal survey, half of those who responded wanted the same level of services or a reduction in order to keep the tax burden the same. Another 10 per cent wanted services cut in order to have a lower tax rate. The reasons often given for opposition to tax increases are that the existing tax burden is already too high or that the budget can be trimmed to cut wasteful spending. Government budgets, particularly at the municipal level, are scrutinized carefully and the elected representatives know they must answer for every dollar. There is no room to tighten the budget while maintaining the present level of services. For those who would still argue that the tax burden is already too high, we would ask for clarification. Which services should be cut and how much should they be cut?

For Summerland’s Justin Kripps and his bobsleigh teammates, the past year has had a lot of strong competition. They have faced some of the top bobsleigh athletes in the world. In the combined two- and four-man rankings, the team is in 15th place worldwide. The world championships for bobsleigh will be held over the next two weekends in St. Moritz.

Smart meter deniers’ last stand VICTORIA – The news was trumpeted with alarm here on Vancouver Island, which along with the Gulf Islands is the heartland of tinfoil-hat opposition to smart meters. Of the 140,000 power customers who didn’t have a wireless meter by the end of the year, many have simply refused. Now BC Hydro has sent letters informing Tom Fletcher them “we can no longer delay the installation of a new meter at your home.” “StopSmartMetersBC” sent out a panicky e-mail advising its resistance movement to brace against “storm trooper tactics” from BC Hydro staff, and urging phone and fax attacks on their local MLA office. “Anger and outrage should be expressed, in a quiet way, so that we don’t sound hysterical, but people are being threatened, police called, etc.,” the anonymous e-mail helpfully suggests. BC Hydro has also confirmed what I told you a few months ago. Those bogus locks, chicken wire cages and important-looking signs, which were sold like modern-day snake oil, have no legal effect to prevent the utility from working on its own equipment. These obstacles to inspection have been and continue to be removed, along with dangerous grow-op bypasses and fiddled mechanical meters. The technical arguments against wireless meters have been demolished. False news

reports and website claims still circulate, but no fires have been attributed to the installation of 1.7 million wireless meters in B.C. About 1,200 faulty meter bases have also been replaced at BC Hydro’s expense, and as crude power-theft bypasses have been removed, the incidence of electrical fires, already rare, has dropped substantially. Another popular myth is increased electricity bills. Yes, if your bypass is removed, your bill will go up. Like gas pumps,

A Toronto-based expert group called Bad Science Watch has tackled claims of “electromagnetic hypersensitivity” head-on. I highly recommend their 10-page report and qualifications at www.badsciencewatch.ca. In plain language, with references to the best available scientific studies, it describes the double-blind tests that prove people who claim this sensitivity are not actually able to detect when they are or are not being exposed to wireless signals. No X-Men candidates have come forward. It also exposes key “activists” in Canada. The most prominent is Dr. Magda Havas, an associate professor at Trent University who has “developed a career denouncing the safety of

He doesn’t run a lurid scare website, but he’s appeared on CBC and CTV as some sort of authority. (The main hazard emanating from TVs these days is bad information.) As the election approaches, a fight is gearing up between the NDP and the B.C. Green Party for the ignorant, superstitious and angry vote. The Greens in particular have damaged their credibility in a bid to quiet their own tinfoil-chapeau wing. There are bozo eruptions ahead. I’ll have more on that in a future column.

We are glad to see the number of cases of school vandalism declining, but the problem still costs the school district too much time and money. In 2012, incidents of school vandalism cost the school district more than $28,000. While it is a small fraction of the total school board budget, it still represents funding which could be used in the classrooms and for programs which would benefit the students. Instead, the money had to go to cleaning up the damages resulting from some thoughtless actions.

Liberal Party’s message hypocritical Dear Editor, At one time I had respect for Christie Clark and hoped that she would do well as leader of the party. However, sad to say, the party is spending mil-

lions of tax payers money to tell us how wonderful the Liberal government is and how they are bringing thousands of jobs to B.C. This is hypocritical as the

people employed in the film industry are losing their jobs because of Liberal Party stubbornness. You say that there is not enough money to give the film

industry tax credits but you find money for your future election campaign which is what these P.R. television commercials are all about. You are supposed to use

private money for campaign funds, not ours. How can you in all honesty say you are bringing jobs to B.C.? Dave Simpson Summerland

The Early years

A century of change

Granville Road, or Main Street as we know it, has definitely changed a bit since 1913. It’s interesting to note that while the buildings were few, the power poles were many. Summerland was the first town on Okanagan Lake to have electricity (1905) as well as its own telephone service (1907). Our pioneers were certainly an innovative bunch. Want to see more pictures from back when? Drop by the Post Office and check out the new display of old photos for a look at other changes over the years.

Tourism logo signifies nothing Thanks for Dear Editor: Re: the new expensive Summerland logo. What does it say to the average citizen or

tourist? I would guess nothing except a bunch of wavy coloured lines signifying nothing except to those in the

know. “Take your time.” It must have taken all of five minutes to produce this masterpiece and no doubt

has cost the taxpayers many dollars. Let us hope that our Chamber of Commerce who so diligently urges us to

always shop locally, at least kept this business in our town. Or did they? Ilo Kitson Summerland

Dear Editor: I refused to have a microwave transmitting device unilaterally imposed upon me and installed anywhere on my property. I challenge B.C. Hydro to disprove the scientific research that is presented and dis-

cussed in the BioInitiative 2012 report. The report can be found at bioinitiative.org. Until such time that you can disprove this research to my satisfaction, I will continue to refuse to have a transmitting smart meter any-

where on my property, and furthermore I will use all means at my disposal to defend my right to do so. I have taken steps in my personal life to reduce my exposure to the radio frequencies that will

be emitted by smart meters, including the choice not to use a cell phone, the choice to hardwire my computer and the choice to eliminate cordless phones from my home not to mention others. B.C. Hydro and

the government are crossing a line. I will consider any attempt to install a smart meter on my property an act of trespass and a violation of my Charter Rights. James G. Smith Nanaimo

Dear Editor: As chair of the Pathways Addictions Resource Centre (pathwaysaddictions. ca) I would like to publicly thank the Summerland HealthCare Auxillary for the wonderful and very generous donation of $10,000 to help us implement a posttreatment group. This group will help our clients continue to make a smooth transition back into the community once they

have completed their individual counselling. Being able to give our clients the extra support they need will mean a great deal to the board as well as our staff and clients. So, thank you to all the members and volunteers of the Summerland Health-Care Auxiliary. Sherry Ure, ND Chair, Pathways Addictions Resource Centre Penticton

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Probate and Estate Administration

When a person passes away one of the first questions that must be answered is: Did the deceased have a valid will? If the answer is yes, then the Executor files an application for Probate. If the deceased did not have a valid will, then the process is called an application for Estate Administration. Both applications are essentially the same in that they list the assets to be dealt with, appoint a person to be in charge of the estate and then determine who receives those assets. In creating a will a person sets out their wishes for the distribution of their estate. Without a will the distribution of an estate is governed by the provisions of the new Wills, Estate and Succession Act. Those provisions are arbitrary.

Each student (delegate) will participate in in-depth discussions with other young people from around the world as well as make new and lifelong friends. In the years since it was established, more than 43,000 people have participated in the U.N. Pilgrimage. The Odd Fellows and Rebekahs United Nations Pilgrimage for Youth program has garnered growing public attention in the United States, Canada and abroad. The National Association of Secondary School Principals has placed this program on the advisory List

of National Contests and Activities. Tours are conducted during the summer and vary from six to 12 days in length. Competition is open to all high school students 16 or 17 years of age with a minimum of one year of high school remaining. The applications are reviewed by the selection committee for evidence of leadership, character, concern for community welfare, interest in world affairs and general fitness. Each applicant is required to write an essay and participate in a local speech contest. The competition in Summerland is for all applicants from the Okanagan Valley.

You don’t have to go through it alone. In many ways, the grief and pain experienced due to separation and divorce is more difficult than the pain of losing a loved one. It’s a confusing time when people feel isolated and have lots of questions. Beginning Feb. 3, DivorceCare will be held Sunday evenings from 5 to 7 p.m. at Summerland Baptist Church for people in the South Okanagan. These sessions help group members untangle their many emotions and move toward rebuilding their lives. Each of the 13 DivorceCare sessions

has two distinct elements. During the first 30 to 40 minutes of the meeting, the DivorceCare group watches a video seminar featuring reallife case studies and interviews with top experts on divorce and recovery. Topics include loneliness, anger, depression, finances, children, new relationships, forgiveness, and others. DivorceCare participants then discuss the topic presented in the video. This is an invaluable time when group members find that they are not alone and that their emotions are normal, and when they find hope and direction through the experience and wisdom of others in the group. Please call 250-4943313 for more information or to sign up for this free course. Anyone who is dealing with the pain of separation or divorce is welcome to attend.

Replant program to get fine-tuning by Black Press B.C. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has committed to a pair of key changes to his government’s fruit tree replant program to help ease growers’ transitions to highervalue crops. During his address Saturday in Penticton at the annual meeting of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association, Letnick announced he will

remove the like-tolike requirement on producers that compels them to replant orchards with the same type of fruit. “Just like crops need to change, sometimes replant programs need to change,” Letnick said. “So should apple growers like to diversify their orchards by replanting with cherries, they will be able to apply for the program. And so will

other growers interested in replanting with different types of fruit trees.” That should help build a “stronger, more sustainable tree fruit sector,” he added. The current $2-million replant program was announced in May and, like others, lasts only as long as the money does, which creates uncertainty and has prompted fruit growers to call for the establishment

of a permanent version. Letnick, the MLA for Kelowna-Mission, pledged to work on that too. “You have my commitment… to work as your minister of agriculture to make this a reality,” he said. “I’ll be working to come up with a regular, annual, sustainable, bankable, reliable replant program so we don’t have to go to the finance minister every year for

was vice-president, became interim president in December after Kirpal Boparai resigned from the top post. Boparai was kicked out of the Okanagan Tree Fruit Co-operative because he did not conform to contract terms. Members attending the co-op’s annual general meeting also approved a resolution calling for Boparai to be removed from his BCFGA post. Despite a year of turmoil, Dukhia doesn’t believe there are concerns or hard feelings among grow-

ers. Attendance at the BCFGA annual convention was almost 50 per cent of its 550 members because of high interest in the election of leaders following a tumultuous 2012 for the BCFGA. Dukhia defeated a former vice-president of the BCFGA, Fred Steele of Kelowna, for the top position. Summerland grower and executive member Denise MacDonald ran for election against Bupinder Dhaliwal of Oliver for vice-president, but she was defeated

at the ballot box. Former president of the orchardist organization, Joe Sardinha of Summerland, who was nominated for vice-president, declined to let his name continue to stand after the presidential election. The BCFGA represents 50 commercial tree fruit growers in BC, located primarily in the interior Okanagan-SimilkameenCreston Valleys. The BCFGA celebrates its 125th anniversary as the “Growers’ Parliament” in 2014.

Dukhia to head BCFGA by Black Press

The newly-elected president of the B.C. Fruit Growers Association sees good things ahead for the industry. “I feel pretty positive about the industry,” said Jeet Dukhia of Vernon. “I am very optimistic when I see all of the new plantings.” Dukhia, who was acting president, was elected to the top job during the BCFGA’s convention in Penticton Saturday. Among his priorities are to ensure ongoing senior government support for the industry, particularly over 1964’s Columbia River Treaty. “The treaty did lots of damage for the Okanagan Valley,” said Dukhia. “Washington State used our water and they have 100,000 acres in orchards. We have to get some compensation from the government.” The BCFGA is also working with other commodity groups and the government to open up new markets for B.C. cherries in China. Dukhia, who

year-end dollars.” Letnick said ministry staff will begin working with the BCFGA next month to develop guidelines to support both changes. He confirmed after his speech, however, that there is no funding in place for a permanent replant program. Nonetheless, BCFGA acting president Jeet Dukhia said he was “very pleased” and “growers are very happy” with the minister’s announcement. Dukhia expects the

getting their hands on new trees to plant, a permanent program would provide nurseries with the assurance they need to ensure a stable supply. Dukhia added that even with government assistance, replanting still costs growers plenty. “A grower spends $30,000 to replant an acre. Out of $30,000, he’s getting a $7,000 grant. So you have to appreciate the grower ’s spending the majority of the money from his pocket.”

current replant program will hand out about $900,000 this year and the balance the following year. He said a $1.5-million annual commitment to a permanent plan would be ideal. At that level of funding, the industry “will be pretty competitive” in five years, Dukhia said, adding old orchards with 600 trees per acre could be replanted with newer varieties at a density of 3,000 trees per acre. He also noted that although some growers are having trouble

January 31 at 4 p.m. & 7 p.m. at the Landmark 7 Cinema **** Smart **** Thoughtful **** Mesmerizing **** Set in East Germany in the 1980s, Barbara is a taut, intelligent drama about a young physician who is reassigned from a prestigious position in Berlin to a rural hospital after she applies for an immigration visa to the West. In her new post, Barbara resentfully isolates herself from her colleagues and maintains a clandestine relationship with her West German lover who continues to plan for her defection. Her devotion to her profession and her genuine concern for a young, pregnant patient soon draws the attention of the chief physician, Andre, and the two begin to closely bond. Subtle and compelling, this incisive character study delicately weaves attraction and distrust into a profoundly personal and socially complex fabric. (PG - subtitled)

Steam players left to right are Steve Semenoff, Kenton Johnson, Nelson Hurry, Kendall Wilson, Derek Grimm and Olli Dickson. Youngsters who take part in the challenge will be given a ticket from the collection on the hockey stick to attend a game and visit the Steam dressing room.

Summerland Review Thursday, January 24, 2013

Justin Kripps of Summerland and his bobsleigh crew are in the World Championships starting this weekend in St. Moritz, Switzerland.

Team Kripps at world event of Kripps and Nick Carriere, took the silver medal with a time 3/100ths of a second off the gold. Then Kripps and Sam Giguere placed 11th in Igls. This cemented their place in the upcoming World Championships, giving them an overall ranking of 12th in the two-man event. Canada #2 is ranked 11th and Canada #1 is ranked second. The four-man event in Igls was a strange race. All the North American teams had poor results. Even USA #1, the current World and Olympic title holder, placed 18th, unlike its usual placing in the top 10. USA #2 placed 20th and USA #3 23rd. Team Kripps placed 22nd and Canada #2 placed 24th. Canada #1 were the only North Americans to place in the top 10 and barely, placing 10th. Kripps says it is a race they would all forget. He said he and his teammates don’t know what went wrong, but are just going to focus on the upcoming races.

Going into the Wo r l d Championships Team Kripps has a 21st place ranking in four-man, just behind Canada #2 at 20th. Currently both Canada #2 and #3 are one race short in fourman. However, the combined two- and four-man ranking puts Team Kripps at 15th just behind Canada #2 at 14th. Canada #1 is 5th. So now it’s full steam ahead to World Championships which will be held in St. Moritz over the next two weekends. They will have a format like the Olympic Games where each event has four heats. The winners are determined by adding times from all four heats together. Only the top 20 from the first two heats will go to the third heat. The first and second two-man heats will be on Saturday and the third and fourth on Sunday. The first and second four-man heats will be on Feb. 2 and the third and fourth on Feb. 3.

After successful bobsleigh races at Koenigsee, Germany, the previous weekend, Team Kripps and the rest of Team Canada headed off to Igls, Austria. The coaches then decided to send Team Kripps back to Koenigsee to compete in the Europa Cup two-man race there. The Europa Cup circuit is one level down from the World Cup circuit but points still count for overall standings. A win at Europa Cup level is the equivalent of 13th place at World Cup level. Since Team Kripps had missed the Altenberg World Cup event, it was a gamble to have them dash over at 5 a.m. to race in Koenigsee and then be back at Igls for the World Cup race the next day. It turned out to be a good move. Team Kripps, consisting

Obituaries

Hazel Mary Mitchell passed away peacefully on Dec 17, 2012, at Penticton Regional Hospital. Hazel was born November 17th, 1928 at Leask, Saskatchewan, to Harold and Mae Johnson. Her brother Jerry followed her into the world 13 months later. They grew up in a rugged and spartan frontier environment, but flourished none-the-less through family, friends and a true pioneering spirit. Hazel attended 3 area schools: Debden, Rabbit Ridge and Makwa. Harold left the family when Hazel and Jerry were quite young – it was to be a long separation between father and children; however, reconciliation and reunion came 3 years before his passing at age 97 in Courtenay, B.C. After Harold left, Mae met and initially cooked for and was a farm helper to Robert Bathgate (who became known to Hazel’s children as ‘Uncle Bob’). They eventually moved together to Cecil Lake, 15 miles northeast of Fort St. John, where they lived on a farm. By this time, Hazel and Jerry had both moved away from home and were forging their own lives. In her mid-twenties, Hazel worked for a time as a cook in the tiny community of Dog Creek, west of Williams Lake. There she met Bill Mitchell, who worked on the local airport for the Department of Transport. About a year later, they married in the Fort St. James community hall. Bill’s career took the family to Sandspit, Prince George, Terrace and Penticton. While in Prince George, Lane was born in 1955, followed by Russell in 1957. A year later, the family moved to Terrace, where in 1960, Murray came into the world. Terrace would prove to be where the Mitchell family would lay down its deepest roots. Hazel worked as a homemaker until the boys were all of school age and then she was employed at Thornhill Elementary school as the school secretary, a job that she very much enjoyed. Upon retirement, Bill and Hazel moved and settled in Chilliwack in 1978. By this time, the boys had moved out to lead their own lives, though the family would come together numerous times over the years, the last only hours before Hazel’s passing. Chilliwack would prove to be their home of longest duration and their life in this community was full with family, friends, leisure and travel. For much of their time in Chilliwack, Hazel’s brother Jerry and his wife, Ollie, lived near them and were frequent companions. Over the years, oldest son Lane met and married Doris; they raised two boys, now with families of their own. Russell met and married Wendy; they are raising a beautiful daughter. Murray has chosen the bachelor’s life. Hazel and Bill moved to Summerland in 2009 to be near family. This was a great move, as it afforded them support and care when it was most needed. Hazel was re-introduced to her faith and accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Saviour. Mom has left this earth and her soul is now with God, but her spirit will always remain with us. No husband could have had a better wife; no children a better mother. Her simple, unassuming and quiet ways were appreciated by all who knew her and those closest to her were amazed by her indomitable spirit in the face of difficulties and recent struggles with her health. She leaves a diverse legacy of family to live by her example: her husband of 58 years, Bill; 3 sons Lane (Doris) of Summerland; Russell (Wendy) of Burnaby; and Murray of Abbotsford; 2 grandsons Jared, (Tiffany) and Ryan (Krista); a grand-daughter (Kaylee); 5 greatgrandchildren (Austin, Nikaela, Shyla, Mila and Jovie); brother Jerry (Ollie) Johnson of Princeton. Our family would like to thank the staff at Summerland Seniors Village for their kindness and care during the past 3 years. A memorial service will be held there (at the Seniors Village) on Sunday, Jan 27th at 2 pm with Pastor Larry Schram from Summerland Baptist Church.

Literacy Day events scheduled The fifth annual Family Literacy Day Celebration on Saturday, Jan. 26 at Cherry Lane Shopping Centre will offer a day of fun for families. There will be information booths from many service agencies, activities for kids, stories and song, dance, music and more. A free book will be given to every child from Raise a Reader, and there are some great prizes to be given away, says organizer Joan Chambers, Literacy Outreach Coordinator

for Literacy Now South Okanagan Similkameen. Festivities run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Main stage entertainment with emcees Lisa McCall and Adam Lewis Schroeder will highlight performances by professionals and amateurs. Bubblee Bubblezz will be clowning around from noon to 2 p.m. Everyone is invited to collect a stamp from each booth on a passport provided, then enter it into a draw for

great prizes given throughout the day, donated by Cherry Lane merchants and participating organizations. Although the celebration is on Saturday, Jan. 26, Family Literacy Day is nationally recognized each year on Jan. 27 to raise awareness of the importance of reading and doing other literacy related activities as a family. This year our theme is Unplug and Play and we have expanded to promote learning through the

whole week, Jan. 21 to 27. For the complete

list of events, go to literacynowso-s.ca.

Every Week, our Ad Match Team checks our major competitor’s flyers and matches the price on hundreds of items throughout the store*. We Match Prices! *Look for the symbol in store. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT QUANTITIES (note that our major supermarket competitors may not). Due to the fact that product is ordered prior to the time of our Ad Match checks, quantities may be limited. We match select items in our major supermarket competitors’ flyers throughout the week. Major supermarket competitors are determined solely by us based on a number of factors which can vary by store location. We match identical items (defined as same brand, size, and attributes) and for fresh produce, meat and bakery, we match a comparable item (as determined solely by us).
