Economic development opportunities sought Changes made within planning department by John Arendt Changes to the municipality’s development services department will allow municipal planner Ian McIntosh to devote his time to economic growth opportunities. Municipal administrator Tom Day said a new planner has been hired to take care of day-to-day planning issues, freeing McIntosh’s time for economic work. “We had no resources allocated to further economic development,” he said.
Mayor Janice Perrino said McIntosh is ideal for the role since he is already the initial contact with potential developers. In addition, McIntosh will examine directional signage into the community, take inventory of municipally-owned lands and examine the opportunities for those lands and look at ways of marking Summerland to those who do not work here but wish to live here. “These are people who work elsewhere and are looking to have their families taken care of here,” he said.
He added that the municipality will continue to work to attract businesses. “We recognize they aren’t coming here as quickly as we’d like,” he said.
Earlier, the municipality had an economic development officer on staff, but that position was eliminated in November, 2010. At the time, Perrino said the cut was neces-

sary and the community could not afford the position. “This position, with its current model, is not working,” she said at the time.
She added that the municipality would rethink ways to meet the needs of economic growth. The change in McIntosh’s duties and the hiring of a new person in the planning department are both necessary, Perrino said. “We definitely need another planner,” she said. Day said McIntosh’s position is not the same as the former economic development officer ’s role, since the focus of the earlier position was to bring businesses into the community.

South Okanagan hit by weather extremes by Joe Fries Black Press
Even the weatherman is having a hard time believing the soggy weather that flooded some area basements this week is about to give way to what could be record-breaking heat. “We’re looking at the forecasts and we’re talking about temperatures across the Southern Interior in the mid-30s just around the corner and expecting it to last for a significant period of time,”
Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist told reporters on a conference call Thursday. “We hardly can believe that we can go from the cool, wet weather that we’ve had to the really hot weather in such a short time.” That wet weather peaked on Wednesday when a late-afternoon deluge opened up over the south end of the city and flooded basements, garages and yards in the area of Wilson Street near Green
Avenue in Penticton. Len Robson, the city’s public works manager, said crews and equipment were dispatched to help pump out water from in and around 10 homes. “There was a massive amount of rainfall that came down in a short duration,” he said. “The storm sewers take all they can take, then the rest of it starts building up on the road surfaces until it spills into the low points.” Environment Can-
ada recorded eight millimetres of rain at the airport Wednesday, although the flooded area appeared to receive much more. Such brief, problematic downpours happen every year, “but not to that intensity. That was just about one of the worst I’ve seen here,” Robson said. “In that case (Wednesday), we kind of had to wait until the storm sewers got rid of the water before we could even pump the yards out,
because there was nowhere for it to go. There was just so much water that came so quickly.” By this time next week, however, people might be wishing for a little rain as hot temperatures are forecast. The hot spell is expected to last for up to two weeks. Lundquist said a three-month projection shows “a slightly
higher chance” that the summer will be hotter than average, although the coming spell by itself could make that prediction come true. The meteorologist organized the conference call to help media warn the public to be prepared for the impending hot stretch and offer tips on how to stay safe in severe weather. L u n d q u i s t
implored people to ensure they stay hydrated, resist the urge to leave pets in vehicles even for a few moments, and check in on elderly people. He said the public should also be aware of the threats posed by heat, wind, rain and lighting, and be ready to seek cover quickly: “When thunder roars, go indoors.”

Municipality mails mock water bills by John Arendt As municipal staff and council continue to examine residential water billing methods, the latest set of mock bills have been sent out. The latest billing model, which has been revised since the last open house on billing in spring,
begins with a base fee of $24 for the water service, followed by billing for all water used. The cubic metre charge will change, depending on the amount used. The lowest billing rate, at 26 cents a cubic metre, allows up to 25 cubic metres at that rate during the cooler months,
but rising during the growing season. The allotment begins to increase in mid-April and the largest amounts are for water used from June 16 to July 15 and from July 16 to Aug. 15. “We’re trying to make changes for the better and we’re listening to the community,” said muni-
cipal administrator Tom Day. The changes following the last open

house allow more water at the low rate during the growing
rates for at least the last two years as the community moves
from a flat fee for water to a metered system. Day said the time is needed because of the nature of Summerland’s water system. “The water system in Summerland has historically been complex,” he said. Those who use more than the lower priced amount will be charged $1 a cubic metre for all water above the low rate allotment. Council hopes to have the billing sys-
tem in place by the beginning of 2014, by Mayor Janice Perrino said the metering system of billing will not be introduced until council is satisfied with the structure. “We are hoping to start by Jan. 1, but if it doesn’t look right, we won’t,” she said. Once the residential system has been determined, council and municipal staff will move on to the billing structure for agricultural properties.
LEGALLY SPEAKING...
A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company
Estate Litigation It is a sad sign of the times that Estate litigation is one of the fastest growing area 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 spilt 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
Economic focus A restructuring at municipal hall means the municipality once again has a person on staff to examine economic growth opportunities for the community. In November, 2010, the economic development officer position was eliminated. The position was seen as an expense the municipality could not justify. The focus of that position had been to attract businesses — a difficult task during an economic downturn. While the new position continues to examine economic opportunities, the focus has changed. Instead of working primarily to bring businesses to the community, one of the tasks will be to attract people who wish to live here, even if they work elsewhere. This is a significant change from past years. Today, however, there are plenty of economic opportunities which do not rely on one’s employer being physically present in the community. There are some who work in the oil industry, spending time in northern Alberta but wishing to have their homes elsewhere. Others who work on short-term or temporary projects around the world do not wish to relocate each time they take on a new assignment. And there are those who have positions which allow them to work remotely. Whether this form of marketing will work in the long term remains to be seen. Living here and working out of province depends on an excellent communications framework and reasonably priced transportation. The communications framework is in place, but there is no guarantee transportation costs will remain close to today’s levels. Some predictions foresee rapidly rising travel costs within a few years. The creation of a position to examine growth options was badly needed. The model used to attract growth will need to be examined and revisited regularly.
For those who attended the Canada Day celebration in Memorial Park on Monday, it was an enjoyable community event and a chance to celebrate our country. The event was organized by the Summerland branch of the Royal Canadian Legion and featured plenty of entertainment and activities. The volunteers deserve credit and thanks for all their hard work in making the event happen.
Cabinet rookies handed hot files VICTORIA – There are nine new faces in Premier Christy Clark’s cabinet, seven of them elected to the B.C. legislature for the first time on May 14. They have been handed some of the hottest problems, and Clark’s marching orders in “mandate letters” for each ministry. And this is the start of a four-year term, when unpopular reforms are Tom Fletcher attempted. Take Amrik Virk, the former RCMP inspector from Surrey who’s suddenly in charge of advanced education. His mandate includes: “Review the student loan program to make recommendations for improvement to ensure the loan program is meeting the needs of today’s students.” Virk must also set targets to “match the skills we need with the skills we are graduating” and require post-secondary schools to “ensure student seats are being filled.” B.C. can’t afford to keep cranking out university grads with $50,000 in debt and no job prospects in a system that’s subsidized 65 per cent. Virk will be working closely with Education Minister Peter Fassbender, who must “ensure seamless transitions” from high school to the workforce for post-secondary trades and apprenticeships. In his spare time, Fassbender is to overhaul the school district
bargaining agency and achieve a 10-year peace with the teachers’ union. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton has worked as a Crown prosecutor, so she’ll have some insight into the system that still grapples with Stanley Cup rioters from two summers ago. Her orders are to get traffic tickets and other administrative penalties out of the courts, keep working on integrating police fiefdoms and generally treat the constipation that afflicts law enforcement today. Oh, and get that new Okanagan prison built, to relieve a system that has inmates living in tents. And examine whether to spin off the Liquor Distribution Branch into a Crown corporation, a possible prelude to selling it. Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s first test was a grilling by the Vancouver media. Yup, this Kamloops hayseed has been to the Big Smoke a few times, ridden that fancy SkyTrain and taken the odd ferry, too. Now he has to impose the ferry route reductions that have been worked on by two previous ministers, and push Metro Vancouver through a referendum on ways to fund its own transit. If more tolls or taxes are going to be implemented, now is the time. Coralee Oakes has made a political leap from Quesnel city hall to the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. One of her key tasks is to
invent a framework for a “rural dividend” from liquefied natural gas development in northwestern B.C. Oakes has to figure out how to “better provide provincial support” to sport and cultural organizations, but do it with no new money. All ministers have strict instructions to balance their lean budgets and take part in the latest “core review” to identify government functions that can be sold, delegated or shut down. New Minister of International Trade Richmond’s Teresa Wat has to find a way to continue the growth of lumber and other exports to China, India and elsewhere on the Pacific Rim. On top of that, the alwaysdelicate softwood lumber agreement with the U.S. expires in three years. The last major eruption on that front was in 2009, when B.C. cut stumpage rates for remote coastal areas to give communities much-needed employment. The Americans were livid, just as they were with our beetle-kill harvesting efforts. And of course, the U.S.-directed environmental movement continues to target Canadian industries. Third-term MLA John Rustad gets aboriginal relations, with specific instructions to deal with gas and perhaps oil pipelines through his Nechako Lakes constituency. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews. com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca
bad apples In recent weeks, we have noticed too many reports of impaired drivers on the roads. S u c h behaviour makes no sense, especially since British Columbia has some tough penalties in place for those who drive while impaired by drugs or alcohol. The tough penalties are needed since an impaired driver is a risk to everyone else on the road and a motor vehicle accident can have serious consequences.

Community vision is a patchwork Dear Editor: Where do we grow from here? Summerland council and planner Ian McIntosh, want the community to support a change to a smaller growth area on the Official Com-
munity Plan. Consultants have been hired to gather community input and to develop growth boundary options that accommodate growth, presumably, for the life of the OCP. About 75 people
at three workshops were asked to describe what was most compelling about Summerland. The consultants said the answers were remarkably consistent. Access to nature
and agriculture and the small town neighbourliness of the community was the consensus of the three workshops. They expected growth would be at replacement pace: that density would
occur in the downtown core with some additional in Lowertown, Trout Creek and South Victoria and that agricultural land, in general, and therefore Agricultural Land Reserve land, in particular, would

Chances are slim that you’ll see a bike like this one in the GranFondo Axel Merckx on Sunday, but in 1934 this was a pretty classy set of wheels. Len Mountford looks quite proud of his shiny modern bicycle and probably would have been keen to participate in a “Big Ride.” The third annual GranFondo Axel Merckx this weekend means that thousands of bicycles will be on our roads, so whether you’re a rider, driver, pedestrian or spectator, please be extra careful and make it a fun, safe ride.
be retained. I have heard this view at public hearings, open house presentations of the municipality and public meetings on development issues yet councils have consistently approved rezoning and development applications opposed by the community. So, no surprise, when the consultants presented three growth boundary proposals and two required that lands now zoned ALR be rezoned for dense development. Participants at the presentation questioned why the proposals did not follow community input that had stressed the value of agricultural land to the future of Summerland as a small town with a beautiful, outdoor, quality of life. Ian McIntosh said that to get density downtown the “trade off” was losing ALR properties. There was a zoning review in 2012 which gave single family, sewered lots the ability to subdivide, allowed multi family zones and allowed for carriage houses. Therefore the downtown core already has the tools for densifying: sewered corridors connecting to downtown
already have the tools for densifying. Community members suggested a fourth option combining density in the town core, retaining ALR land and focusing on Summerland’s existing strengths (agriculture, retirees, tourism, sport and others) when planning for growth. The community vision is not a Summerland city surrounded by rural agriculture. The vision is a patchwork. If it is not a patchwork then ALR lands will continue to be included in an everexpanding downtown core as the growth boundary is amended and reamended. The bylaws approving higher density development and the areas where this density can occur have already been passed so it appears that the only function of revising the growth boundary is to create an opportunity to remove certain agricultural properties from ALR designation by amending the OCP. Once again, an expensive consultant is used to gather “public input” which was never needed but will be cited as vital to the decision. Elsa Gladwin Summerland

Youths deserve respect, not stereotyping Dear Editor: “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere.” What does that mean to you? I guess according to the editors of the Summerland Secondary School yearbook it means, “We’re teenagers so we’re gonna get drunk.” To more enlightened people it means that it is time to kick back with friends and
celebrate the fact that the day is done and you can move onto other things. It means reconnecting with friends, and enjoying activities such as boating, riding, camping, and life — something we all should strive to do. Had the person or people with the final say for entries into the yearbook taken

the time to ask, that is what he or she would have been told. Stereotyping our young people is a mistake. There are 22 students that were able to enter the trades programs in January this year from the graduating class. These are young people who have a vision and the drive
to get out there and get the training they will require to get them into the job market and be productive adults that contribute to our society. They have taken the next step and they should be proud. They are working harder now than ever and succeeding. However, somewhere in the system,

Summerland Review Thursday, July 4, 2013
Connected economy has advantages It is sometimes easy to think that businesses in a small town may have more to learn from large corporations than the other way around. Perhaps that used to be the case, but not anymore. Thanks to technology that allows their customers to be more connected to each other, large companies are learning to behave the way small town businesses always have: knowing their customers personally and responding to their needs. In smaller communities, “word of mouth” advertising has always been a mainstay of a successful business. Now, with the rise of review sites like Yelp, Trip Advisor and Urban Spoon, consumers have even more ways to talk about their experiences with a business or product. It is in a business’ best interest to check these sites for feedback and be ready to engage with customers online. Every day in Summerland, members of the community give personal referrals that will translate into another sale for a local business. Maybe you have a suggestion of a menu item at a local restaurant, a recommendation of where to get your hair cut, where to get your car or your roof fixed, or a not-to-bemissed exhibit at an art studio. All of these are examples of how each of us contrib-

Arlene Fenrich utes to what author Becky McCray (Small Town Rules) calls “a connected economy.” It is this connected economy that small towns have been championing for generations, and which large corporations are now trying to emulate. Now, imagine you are planning a holiday. Think about how you might use online recommendations, relying on the community of people who have gone before you and who have kindly posted advice or suggestions based on their experiences. Visitors to Summerland will be looking for the same kinds of recommendations when they come to town. Surveys show that someone who has received bad service will tell twice as many people as they would if they received good service. So the next time you receive great service from a local shop, or have been impressed by the product of a local manufacturer,
make a conscious decision to contribute to our connected economy and go ahead and brag. Tell your friends. Tell your neighbours. If you use customer review websites, blaze a trail for new residents or visitors to Summerland with your recommendations. It will make that business owner feel great, and it could very well lead to important extra sales. If you really want to bang the drum for your favourite business, call the Chamber Office and ask to be on the mailing list to receive a nomination form for the annual Business Awards. As Stuart McLean (Vinyl Café) says: “We may not be big, but we’re small.” Suddenly, being small is more important than ever before. The more of us who choose to champion our local businesses, the stronger the ties in our connected economy. We always appreciate your feedback. Please contact me at president@summerlandchamber.com or Christine Petkau at manager@summerlandchamber.com. Arlene Fenrich is president of the Summerland Chamber of Economic Development and Tourism.

A total of 118 students received their diplomas from Summerland Secondary School.
High school students graduate For the 118 graduating students at Summerland Secondary School, the school leaving exercises on Friday were a time to reflect on the past and look forward to the future. Principal Chris Van Bergeyk said the stu-
dents have already worked hard and have made a positive impression. “The students here before you continue to impress me at every turn,” he said. “They are a group to be proud of.” In his address to
the graduates, science teacher Raja Gupta talked about the lessons which can be learned from the children’s television program Sesame Street and from renowned scientist Albert Einstein. Both have simple yet pro-
found messages, he said. “Try to keep learned with all that you are,” he said. “There’s a great deal of beauty and ease in simplicity.” Va l e d i c t o r i a n s Susan Watkins and Matthew Jones
Valedictorians Susan Watkins and Matthew Jones spoke on behalf of the graduating students.
looked back on their memories from elementary school and middle school to the present. “We’ve got so much talent in us,” Jones said. “It’s time to start living a little,” Watkins said. “It’s time to take time, to find time and to make time.” The graduation ceremonies were also an opportunity for individuals and organizations to present scholarships and bursaries to the students. Community organizations donated close to $85,000 to the graduating students, in addition to the bursaries and scholarships offered to students from various universities and colleges. “The support from this community is truly amazing,” Van Bergeyk said.
Graduates tossed their hats to signify the end of the graduation ceremonies and the end of their high school years.
Science teacher Raja Gupta gave the address to the graduates.
Greg Nixon receives the Verrier Award from Harish Anand, last year’s winner. The award is the school’s highest honour. It is accompanied by the Matsu Memorial Award.

Orca swimmers compete in Victoria The Summerland Orca swim team had four swimmers who competed at the BC AA Swimming Championship at the Victoria Saanich Commonwealth Games Pool June 21 to 23. Christy Wright 11, Brooklyn Parliament 11, Brittany Parliament 14 and Annmarie LangHodge 14 all represented Summerland over the three-day competition. “Our swimmers brought their A game to this peak year-end competition. Each girl qualified for a final swim (top eight) and swam personal best times, said head coach Del-
ano Ducheck, “and to top it off, Annmarie Lang-Hodge stood on top of the podium, racking up two gold medals (100m and 200m breaststroke) and a silver (50m

Two of the youngest swimmers, Wright and Brooklyn Parliament, both 11 years old, qualified for their first AA Championships. Wright came as close as she could to a medal in the 200m freestyle, missing the podium by just .05 of a second. Parliament was eighth in the 50m freestyle. “It was a highlight to see both girls make the top eight final. Gaining that sort of experience is invaluable,” Malar said. Brittany Parliament, who graduated from Summerland Middle School this year, has made the butterfly stroke her art. “Brittany has a very rare talent that she can swim the most difficult stroke with ease. That ability will take her far,” Malar said. She raced in the final of the 200m butterfly and 100m butterfly finishing fourth and fifth respectively with almost a 10-second improvement in time between the two races. Orca has two final meets this summer, the BC AAAs in UBC Vancouver July 4 to 7 and the Junior National’s in Montreal July 17 to 21. If you are inter-
ested in joining the Orca Swim Club, information for new swimmers can be found at www.
orcaswimclub.net. Last year there was a waiting list for the popular four-month introductory boot-
camp for new swimmers, and Orca is expecting the turnout to be just as high this year.

The boys under u-14 ended its season with a 2-1 loss against Surrey United in the playoffs. They wrapped up regular season play with a 2-2 draw as Penticton’s Grayson Perrier scored the equalizer. TOFC finished fourth in the standings with a 4-5-5 record.

Sunrunners win over Beercelona Sunrunners continued their winning form with a wellfought 5-2 soccer victory over Beercelona. Summerland Gerard’s Gunners took advantage of a undermanned Kondola’s to secure a 3-0 victory. Tristan Knoll, Josh Thornton and Mike Mayer scored for Summerland. Oliver really took full advantage of an undermanned Double D Tours with
a 14-0 drubbing. Eager to make their mark on the season were Oliver goal scorers Tyler Machial 5, Tim Grimard 4, Brandon Greener 2, Leigh Johnson 2 and Sean Peterson 1. On July 4, the Sunrunners visit Oliver for a 7 p.m. start while Double D Tours takes on Summerland and Beercelona takes on Kondola’s at King’s Park in Penticton.
Members of the South Okanagan Sailing Association won the Naramata Mug on June 23. The sailing race was sponsored by the Naramata Yacht Club and drew sailors from the Summerland Yacht Club, Penticton Yacht Club and South Okanagan Sailing Association. A total of 18 sailboats were entered Siebe Kamstra and Bruce Baycroft, sailing an Osprey, won the Naramata Mug. Devyn Farr, in a
Laser, placed second and Stefan Arnason placed third. All are from the South Okanagan Yacht Club. In the Bruno Leipe Cup, Wildfire, skippered by Harvey Ryll and with crew members Ralph and Linda Williamson, Mark Bicknal and Carolyne Doyle, was the winner. St. Vitus Dance, helmed by Andy McGregor of Summerland, was in second place, while Goldmember, with Tannis Coletti and Fred Trautman, was third.

Four Summerland girls took top honours in both the 14 and under and 12 and under age categories at the Lakeview Heights Rookie Tour in West Kelowna on June 28. At left, Phoebe Kotulska, 14, won the girls 14 and under draw, with Simonka Slizek, 13, finishing second. At right, Marie Holmes, 11, won the 12 and under competition with Kinga Kotulska, 10, the other finalist. All four girls train at the Lakeshore Racquets Club in Summerland.
Year-end tournaments a resounding success Well as I write this column I sure hope the weather forecasts are accurate as we are finally getting the warm summer weather we are famous for. Quite frankly, the month of June had its challenges with all the wet weather but the one positive is I have never seen the area greener and our water consumption has definitely been low. Even with the poor weather my hat still goes off to those that held their year-end games and tournaments at the end of June. Thank you to the mother and son team
of Alex and Donna Waddington who dealt with infields that were underwater, yet got the fields playable for the popular Summerland Slo-Pitch year-end tournament. Also Reid Jenkins from the Pinnacles Football club has made great strides with Summerland’s mini soccer program which moved to Dale Meadows in 2012 and have special mini nets ideal for the younger age group. Girls softball pulled off a great Okanagan zone championship for two age groups and people like Cindy Nelson and the Cutt family stepped up to
make the play downs a resounding success. Minor baseball also had another good year under Brenda Chermsnok with a new group that stepped forward to continue minor baseballs long tradition here in Summerland. As usual, the Summerland Bluegrass Festival was a hit with attendance from all over the province. I was sitting in a full set of bleachers listening to a great bluegrass group of females from Saskatchewan and it was definitely a June highlight.

Summerland’s Health Professionals Mary Catherine McLeod (NEE MacIntyre) passed away peacefully into the presence of the Lord on June 25, 2013 at the age of 90 years. She is remembered and sadly missed by her three daughters: Donna (Hermie) Navarro of Abbotsford BC, Cathy (Laurie) Milsted of Summerland BC, Margaret (Jim) Thornicroft of London, ON, grandchildren: Jeff (Sheila) Bowerman, Lisa (Aaron) Laurie, Shawna (Neil) Manchakowsky, Jenn (Josh) Seinen, Nicole (Jeff) Tims, Dayna (Joe) Thornicroft, great grandchildren: Sydney, Courtney and Ryan, Devin, Emma and Ethan, Jessica and Rebecca, Jordan, Jacob and Jason. Mary was sadly predeceased by her husband Del. Mary was born in 1923 in Annadale, P.E.I., the oldest of nine children. She met our dear deceased father Del during wartime where she was stationed in Halifax, Nova Scotia as a psychiatric nurse and followed her heart and her husband to BC where they had three beautiful daughters. Always the entrepreneur, she went into business in Vancouver purchasing the ‘Telephone Answering Service’ in the Ford Building. Along with her business partner and longtime friend, she purchased and ran the very successful ‘Demonstrator’s Bureau’ where personnel were hired to introduce new food and products in grocery and department stores. During that time she became heavily involved in the Vancouver Toastmasters Club and the Burnaby Lapidary Club. After all the girls were married, Mary and Del decided to ‘retire’ to Summerland where they built their home and opened the “’Okanagan Hobby and Art Shop’. After the Art Shop closed, she began selling Avon to all of Summerland, becoming top sales representative several times in the course of her second/third career. She also became heavily involved in her church, volunteering to teach catechism and holding many offices with the CWL for almost 40 years. She was one of many Presidents and was a national Representative of Summerland for the Nelson Diocese. Mary was dearly beloved and will be missed. Visitation will be held at 6:00 pm and Prayers will be offered at 7:00 pm on June 28th, 2013 followed by the Funeral Mass on Saturday, June 29th, 2013 at 1:00 PM from Holy Child Catholic Church, 14010 Rosedale Avenue in Summerland, BC with Father Ferdinan Nalitan officiating. Memorial tributes in Mary’s honour may be made to Dr. Andrews Pavilion, Summerland, BC. Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com.

Artist to offer workshops in fall Winner of the People’s Choice Award at the Summerland Art Club’s annual show was Blue Moon, a mixed medium painted by Summerland artist Pat Thomson. She will be giving workshops in the fall using these techniques. In addition, to three beautiful pieces by Thomson, there were many beautiful works in various styles by the other talented members of this art group. These shows are worth seeing when they are held. The Summerland Art Club would like to thank everyone who turned out, voted for their favourite painting, and helped to make
this a great event. A number of Summerland residents are members of the Penticton Concert Band which will be performing at Gyro Park in Penticton on Sunday, July 14. This outdoor concert , as well as their Peachfest performance Aug. 7, will feature Summerland singer Madison Johnson, an award-winning coloratura soprano, who will once again add a new dimension to a few of the band’s long-standing favourite selections. All concerts will include a variety of styles and tunes, including classical, big band, movie themes, and selections from musicals, along with a few
Arts Palette
David Finnis other styles. There will be something to suit everyone’s taste. Dedicated band members come to practice in Penticton regularly from all around the Okanagan and Similkameen, including Summerland, and the band is always interested in auditioning new
members who can play at an intermediate to advanced level. You can visit the website www.pentictonconcertband.ca or call 250-809-2087 for more information. The Shatford Centre in Penticton will be host to a series of great musical, art and cultural events this summer including a benefit concert by Latin pianist Beatriz Boizán who will perform on Saturday, July 13 at 7:30 p.m. Considered “One of the brightest new lights in the classical world,” Boizán is admired for her vibrant personality, charismatic stage presence and unique musicianship. She delivers authentic, innovative performances of Span-
ish and Latin American music. The concert is a fundraiser for Pathways Addictions Resource Centre in Penticton. Pathways promotes the well-being of people affected by, or at risk of developing alcohol, drug and related problems.
Tickets are available in Summerland at the Sweet Tooth Cafe, 13211 Victoria Rd. N. and at the door. ooo If you know of an event you feel should be included in the Arts Palette or on the Arts Council’s online calendar, email artspalette@ summerlandarts.com
