Water levels remain high by John Arendt

Despite hot and dry summer weather, the municipality still has plenty of water in its reservoirs. Shawn Hughes, water distribution chief operator for the municipality, said Summerland’s reservoirs have around 11,000 megalitres at present. The total capacity is 14,136 megalitres. Because the water level has remained high, the community has not needed to impose watering limits beyond the Stage 1 restrictions which are in place throughout the year. “There’s no concern about

going into Stage 2 at this point,” Hughes said. He said careful water use from the community is part of the reason the storage levels are good at present. Hughes said the municipality did not need to issue any water quality advisories this summer. In the past, advisories were issued during the summer as water processed at the water treatment plant was mixed in with chlorinated water, in order to meet the community’s summertime demands. Although the plant was operating near full capacity on several occasions this summer, Hughes said supplementing the

treated water with chlorinated water was not necessary this year. The water system separation, which separates domestic water from irrigation water, has reduced the demand on the treatment plant, he said, but added that further separation is still needed. The next phase of water system separation will be in the Garnett Valley area. At the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference this week, Summerland representatives were scheduled to meet with provincial officials to ask for the funding assistance for this project.

The student population in Summerland’s schools is close to the same as last year’s enrolment. Linda Van Alphen, one of Summerland’s two trustees on the Okanagan Skaha School Board, said there are around 1,300 students in the community this year, according to the preliminary enrolment numbers. At Summerland Secondary School, there are 451 students this year, down from 458 last year. At Summerland Middle School, enrolment rose from 310 last year to 314 this year. Giant’s Head School saw its student population rise from 325 last year to 340 this year. Trout Creek School has 195 students this year, down from 215 last year. Van Alphen said student population figures have fluctuated over the years. At one point, Trout Creek Elementary School had around 100 students. “Trout Creek is way up from where it was,” she said. The increase at Giant’s Head Elementary School is significant enough to justify a staff expansion. “Giant’s Head is up 15 students, so we’ve added one more teacher there,” she said. Van Alphen said some of the schools have had higher student populations in the past. When she first became a trustee around a decade ago, she said Summerland Secondary School was close to its capacity of 650 students. Despite the decline, the school will remain open, she added. “We’re not closing the high school. We’re not even having that discussion,” she said. Prelimary numbers provincewide show a loss of nearly 6,000 students compared to actual enrolment in the 2012-2013 school year.

Liquor reform consultation begins Pedestrian by Kristi Patton Black Press

The B.C. government’s consultation on liquor reform has begun with a debate about allowing alcoholic beverage sales in grocery stores. “I think it is long overdue and I really applaud the initiative. I think the last liquor reform was in the 80s and times have changed significantly,” said Christine Coletta, co-owner of Okanagan Crush Pad. “I’m hoping with that review there will be initiatives to help B.C. wineries continue to grow and thrive.” Coletta said some of the changes she would like to see examined include secondary off-site winery shop licences. Currently wineries can have an onsite wine shop attached to their facility, but a secondary would allow standalone shops. “Or, a group of wineries would work together for example in downtown Summerland. I think that would be a great plus for the wineries and a plus for some smaller communities that then could use that as a driver for tourism to specific areas in town,” she said. Coletta said they need support from the government for the 240 wineries, and growing, in the province that not only drive tourism but employ many people. She is encouraging everyone to provide input to the government. “The No. 1 thing is it all has to make sense to the consum-

er. We reply on them to buy our products whether we are a restaurant, winery, brewery or pub. This all has to benefit the consumer and we currently are in one of the most expensive liquor markets in the world,” said Coletta. The B.C. government’s point man on liquor reform, Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap, posted his own comments on the subject Monday. Yap warned that while opening up alcohol sales is a popular suggestion, “it certainly isn’t as straightforward as it may seem.” Yap noted that beer, wine and spirits are already sold in rural grocery stores that are licensed because their service area isn’t big enough to warrant a government retail store. In urban areas, he

questioned whether alcoholic beverages should be sold from convenience stores and gas stations, larger grocery stores, or big-box retailers. “When this topic comes up in my meetings with health, safety and law-andorder advocates, the

question will surely become that already we see 30 per cent of late-night attendees at a typical B.C. emergency department report alcohol consumption in the six hours prior to their injury or illness,” Yap said. “If we make it more

killed

An 84 year old Summerland woman died when she was struck by a motocycle. Cpl. Bruce Haley said the woman was walking in a marked crosswalk in the 7700 block of Prairie Valley Road on Friday at 11:32 a.m. An eastbound BMW motorcycle operated by a 62 year old man hit the woman, who was conscious at the scene.

The woman was then transported to Penticton Regional Hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries. RCMP said the women’s next-of-kin have been notified but her name has not been released yet. Mounties are continuing their investigation at this time and are not sure if charges will be pending on the cylist as of yet.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Business Methods Patents In the U.S., it is now possible to protect not only the products you sell by a patent but also the way you do business. The U.S. Patent Office now recognizes ABusiness Method Patents@. This patent allows a Company to protect successful methods of doing business. An example of this new patent law is found with Dell Computers. They have applied for and received a Business Methods Patent for their direct to consumer and build to order sales approach. Most people associate Patent Law and patents with tangible goods. This new area of Patent Law goes far beyond that. Given the pace of technology and the very high stakes in business these days, it is easy to see why business people are taking all the steps they can to protect themselves.

available for the sake of convenience, will we see rates like this rise?” The government is inviting public comments until Oct. 31 at the website, www. gov.bc.ca/liquorpolicyreview. The site also lists submissions from health care, police and alcoholic beverage industry representatives. The current review continues a remake of B.C. liquor policy that began in 2002, when cold beer and wine stores were allowed to sell spirits, and a 10-year moratorium on new private store licences was lifted. When the consultation was launched in August, Yap said licences for serving craft beer or local wine at farmers’ markets would be considered. Pubs also want to allow under-aged children in with their parents for lunch, putting them on a level playing field with licensed restaurants.

our pick

Age gap a concern At first glance, the preliminary enrolment statistics from the Okanagan-Skaha School District seem encouraging. The number of students in Summerland schools is around the same as last year. Considering the declines this community has seen in recent years, holding our own is an improvement. Looking back a little farther, the trend in recent years is cause for concern. Summerland’s population has increased, but the youth population has decreased. In 1996, there were 2,555 Summerlanders 19 years of age and younger. By the 2011 federal census, that figure had dropped to 2,125. The median age in Summerland has been increasing. In 2006, it was 49.5 and by 2011, it had risen to 52.0. This speaks well to the care and services available for seniors in Summerland, but not so well for creating a familyfriendly image. Whatever the reason, we have fewer families with children than we had even a few years ago. Unless this trend begins to reverse, it does not bode well for the longterm future of the community. A heavy concentration in one segment at the exclusion of others will not work well in the long term. When a community develops a reputation as a seniors’ town to the exclusion of all else, it becomes increasingly difficult to attract younger families. At that point, a potential consumer base and present or future labour base is gone. Summerland still has plenty of children and families. We are not in danger of losing our schools in the foreseeable future, nor are we at risk of watching the last young family move out of town. It should cause concern among community and business leaders, along with anyone else who has an interest in the longterm viability of Summerland. The factors behind this trend are not simple nor are they easily changed. Still, unless youth populations change, Summerland will have a difficult future ahead of it.

The 104th annual Summerland Fall Fair on the weekend presented a showcase of produce, canning, baking, arts, crafts and more from the community. As in past years, it drew many exhbitors and spectators. As a special event, it is an important fall celebration. More than that, it encourages participation from within the community. The items on display show who we are.

culls

Bills come due at BC Hydro VICTORIA – Christie Clark became premier in 2011, one of her first priorities was to delay steep increases in BC Hydro rates. BC Hydro was heading to the B.C. Utilities Commission to apply for rate increases totalling 32 per cent over three Tom Fletcher years. This, obviously, was a problem for an unelected premier whose single message was that she was good for families, and who faced an election in two years. The government’s Mr. FixIt, Rich Coleman, first tried to delay a couple of expensive seismic upgrades, adding to the long history of political fiddles that pushed off expensive problems. BC Hydro’s engineers soon convinced him that if the creaky old Ruskin and Campbell River dams were to bust in a quake, it wouldn’t be good for families downstream. Coleman scraped up some internal savings in the vast utility and met Clark’s pre-determined target of keeping rate increases below four per cent in the pre-election period. Mission accomplished, as George W. Bush might have said. Then last week, an August working paper on the need for BC Hydro rate hikes was leaked. It showed BC Hydro making a case for new increas-

es totaling 26 per cent over two years. The leak came via the Canadian Office and Professional Employees local 378, the BC Hydro inside staff union that has a history of mostly juvenile attacks on the B.C. Liberal government. Bill Bennett, the current energy minister, spent the next couple of days repeating to anyone who would listen that this initial proposal had already been rejected, and that work was well along to make the rate increase more palatable. Perhaps it’s back to where it was in 2011. COPE 378 and the NDP played their rehearsed roles. Both tried to blame the situation on private power contracts. The union and its political front are less concerned about rising power bills than they are about holding onto the state monopoly on electricity generation. Energy industry lawyer David Austin calculates that of the proposed 26.4-percent increase, about 3.5 per cent can be attributed to BC Hydro buying power from private sources, at prices competitive with new public power sources such as the Site C dam. Most of it comes from the overdue repairs to those old dams, other costly projects including the addition of turbines to two Columbia River dams, and deferred debt from previous political meddling. In August I reported that as many as 20 of BC Hydro’s exist-

ing private power purchase contracts will be cancelled or deferred. This was also seized upon to portray private power as the root of all evil, both financially and environmentally. In fact the attrition rate on these projects has always been about one out of three. This is what happens when the risks of expanding the provincial electrical grid are shared with private investors. These run-of-river and wind projects were promoted to maximize clean energy sources, as well as to spread the grid to remote areas. This was Gordon Campbell’s climate change strategy. Then came the gas boom. Clark seized upon liquefied natural gas exports as the key to future prosperity, and the government soon declared burning gas “clean” as long as it facilitates LNG production. Bennett now acknowledges that gas-fired power plants are an option for the future. They are cheaper than hydro, small or large. Bennett’s two tasks are to supply industry with cheap power and get consumer rates under control. It looks as if the gas is being turned up, and Site C is moving to the back burner.

In the past several weeks, we have seen numerous accidents in Summerland which should remind us all of the importance of road safety. Several of these have required hospital care for some of those involved. Operating a motor vehicle is a privilege which comes with a huge responsibility. Under the control of a safe operator, it provides a quick way to get around. In unskilled hands or if a motor vehicle operator is careless or intoxicated, the result can be a serious or fatal accident. Use your road sense.

The early years

Early logging operation

Photo courtesy of the Summerland Museum

When you think of logging trucks today, this isn’t exactly what comes to mind. This photo of Ted Logie was taken around 1930 when forestry practices were simple, there was no apparent shortage of trees and the biggest threat to our forests was human caused fires. However, the Canadian Forestry Association, formed in 1900, was already looking after our precious resource. This year, National Forest Week (Sept. 22 to 28) is highlighting “The Greenest Workforce”—the professionals and practitioners who work in and manage our forests. Visit Canadianforestry.com to find out more.

Businesses as advocates important Occasionally, at Chamber related functions, we will mention the word advocacy and watch everyone’s eyes glaze over. People are used to having us talk about tourism and visitor guides and flashy new websites – the shiny exterior coat of what we do here. Advocacy is one of the important, but much less sexy, activities that we get involved in. Not so exciting, but just as likely to affect our local businesses. Why is advocacy important? It’s important because business owners have valuable information to contribute to the

land is to advocate on their behalf with policy and decision makers – sometimes even before the businesses know that they have needs that must be addressed. Sometimes we work on local issues, either alone or with another party. An example in the past year was our joint presentation with the Penticton Chamber of Commerce to raise concerns about the electoral boundary changes. Often there are other organizations in the region or the province who are similarly impacted by policies so we work together to approach decision makers.

Recently we have worked with other chambers throughout the province, and through the B.C. Chamber of Commerce, to reach provincial politicians on a variety of issues. One example is the Ministry of the Environment, where Chambers have connected with the Minister to request a review of the amended recycling legislation. This legislation will require all small businesses who print advertising materials (such as a brochure) that is directed at consumers to register and pay fees for recycling. Multi-materials B.C., the administrator of the recycling

program has now agreed to establish a small business policy and has implemented an interim threshold for participation. Another example is the phase out of the school tax credit for light industry. This affects Class 5 Light Industry properties – we have 41 in Summerland. One of these businesses has estimated that it will cost them thousands in increased property taxes each year. Again, chambers are getting involved to seek answers from the appropriate departments. If you’re a business owner reading this, you may be thinking you haven’t

heard of any of these issues. Sometimes these new programs, rules and fees aren’t widely publicized. As well, you’re understandably very busy running your business. That’s why the chamber is here – to ask the questions when you don’t have time to. It’s part of our job. There’s a new opportunity to have our voices heard early in October and we’d appreciate your input. The chamber has been asked to present to the provincial standing committee on finance and government services. We will bring forward our members’

priorities and financial concerns for the next provincial budget. Last time consultations occurred the message was ‘balanced budgets’. What is the message this time? Please connect with us to share your thoughts. We always appreciate your feedback. Please contact me president@summerlandchamber.com or Christine Petkau at manager@summerlandchamber.com.

Police rePort Highway 97 accident

Summerland RCMP were called to a vehicle rollover the evening of Sept. 16, near the Punta Norte turnoff. Mounties said a pickup truck was driving southbound erratically and crossed the centre line colliding with Toyota Rav4 heading northbound. The pickup truck then went into the ditch overturning. The single occupant in the Rav4 suffered minor injuries and the driver of the pickup did not receive any. RCMP said both parties were lucky to escape unscathed and that the investigation is continuining as alcohol is believed to be involved.

Summerland RCMP assisted in a head-on collision on Highway 40 between Princeton and Summerland on Sept. 11 at 2:30 p.m. RCMP said one of the vehicles entered into a curve too fast on the gravel road and lost control. One driver was transported to hospital.

Stolen vehicle recovered

A white 1995 Mazda pickup truck abandoned on Shale Avenue turned out to be a stolen vehicle. RCMP said they received a call that the truck had been sitting there a few days. Penticton RCMP were then contacted and had the truck towed away.

Bicycle presentation

John Arendt Summerland Review

A youth’s bicycle has been given to a family in the community. Allan Carter, owner of Your Dollar Store with More, was the Kiwanis Club’s raffle winner of the bright red bike. As Carter and his wife do not have any young children at home, they contacted NeighbourLink for help. The bike was given to a family in need who have recently moved to Summerland. From left are Chavonne Pavlik, eight-month-old Enzo Pavlik, NeighbourLink coordinator Mirjana Komljenovic, two-year-old Ben Pavlik, nine-year-old William Pavlik, store manager Allan Carter, Kiwanis member Leo Kolodychuk, seven-year-old Mercedez Pavlik and Kiwanis treasurer Bob Johnson.

Bus schedule determined by John Arendt

B.C. Transit has determined the schedule and the route between Summerland and Penticton. The service will begin on Oct. 28. The route begins at the Summerland Library. It then stops at Victoria Road North and Jubilee Road West and at the Summerfair Shopping Centre. Two of the four trips will stop at

Nixon Road and May Street in Trout Creek. In Penticton, the bus will stop at Okanagan College, at the Penticton Regional Hospital and finally at Cherry Lane Mall. The route from Penticton to Summerland follows the same route in the reverse order. The buses will leave from the Summerland Library at 7:15 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 2:40 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Buses will stop in

Trout Creek at 7:33 a.m. and 2:58 p.m. They will arrive at Cherry Lane Mall at 8:00 a.m., 11:10 a.m., 3:25 p.m. and 5:10 p.m. From Penticton, buses will depart Cherry Lane Mall at 8:05 a.m., 11:15 a.m., 3:30 p.m. and 5:15 p.m. The stops in Trout Creek will be at 11:38 a.m. and 5:38 p.m. Buses will arrive at the Summerland Library at 8:43 a.m., 11:57 a.m., 4:08 p.m. and 5:57 p.m.

Schools in Summerland underwent some maintenance projects over the summer. Summerland trustee Linda Van Alphen said projects were completed at all four of Summerland’s schools. At Summerland Middle School, stairs were added in the drama and band rooms. Summerland Secondary School now has a refinished gym floor and new counter tops in the foods room. At Giant’s Head Elementary School, new electrical

service ducting, fibre ducting and, light standards and water line service were added. The parking lot and curbs also underwent renovation work. Trout Creek Elementary School saw the addition of 14 double lockers. Problems with the gym floor had been identified in spring, when a high school student circulated a petition asking for a better facility. “Apparently it was wearing very thin,” Van Alphen

said. A gym and multipurpose room addition at Summerland Secondary School is at the top of the school board’s priorities in its five-year capital plan. The school board has requested $222,217 for the design phase next year and $12,754,607 for the addition in the following year. The existing gym is one of the oldest high school gymnasiums in the province, Van Alphen said.

Initiative supports anti-bully group A Summerlandbased anti-bullying organization will benefit from a Telus campaign over the fall and winter. During the sixmonth campaign, which began Aug. 7, Telus will contribute $25 on behalf of every customer who signs up for Optik TV in Summerland to support Stop a Bully, an online initiative which allows anonymous reporting of bullying incidents. “Donating $25 to Stop a Bully’s important work on behalf of very new Optik TV customer in Summerland is our way of saying thank you for your business, locally,” said Steve Jenkins, Telus general manager for the Southern Interior. “Bullying is a serious issue and we commend each and

every Stop a Bully volunteer and participant for their dedication to making Summerland a more welcoming community.” The initiative was started several years ago by Trevor Knowlton, a teacher at Summerland Secondary School. Since it was developed in 2009, it has grown to include schools across Canada. “We are very happy to have the support of Telus in our national antibullying initiatives,” Knowlton said. “This

gift will make a significant difference in our ability to work towards a bully-free community, something all of Summerland will benefit from.” Earlier this year, Telus announced a $3 million investment in Summerland to increase Internet speeds and to bring Optik TV to the community. During the campaign, Telus hopes to raise $20,000 for Stop a Bully. The campaign continues until Feb. 6, 2014.

Mercy Tech reaches milestone Summerland resident Rick Cogbill of Mercy Tech Mission teaching a mechanics course to some Mozambican students. Mercy Tech has been granted charitable status which means they can offer tax-deductible receipts to donors. The group strives to combat poverty in developing countries by teaching marketable skills to local people.

Group combating poverty reaches charitable status Mercy Tech Mission, a non-profit group started by Summerland resident Rick Cogbill, has been granted charitable status by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). “It’s a really positive step forward,” says Cogbill, who first began taking teams to Africa in 2011. The goal of Mercy Tech Mission (MTM) is to combat poverty in developing countries by teaching marketable skills to local people. Being a registered charity means Mercy Tech

can offer tax-deductible receipts to donors who support their work. “Skills training is something we take for granted here in Canada,” explains Cogbill. “But in developing countries, such training is rare.” In Mozambique, where Mercy Tech Mission is working, 80 per cent of the population lives in rural areas which are very poor. “Lack of training means no jobs, and that perpetuates the cycle of poverty.” A licensed automotive technician himself, Cogbill teaches mechanics during his trips, but his team members have included carpenters, wood turners, electricians, and welders.

The six-week agenda will include training time as well as finishing off a maintenance shop they began building two years ago. “In the beginning, we were fixing vehicles in the dirt; this time we’ll have an actual shop to work in.” MTM is also raising funds to supply basic hand tools for their students.

Ask Your Dentist...

I have dentures and really don’t like them. Is there any way I can just get teeth that I don’t have to take out at night? Anonymous

Dr. Cindee Melashenko

A: Yes. Dental implants are titanium

anchors that are placed in your bone. Once healed, they can anchor whatever type of teeth you choose. There are three basic ways to anchor your teeth: 1. Teeth cemented on implants; 2. Teeth screwed into the implants; 3. Dentures (without a cover on the roof of your mouth) supported by an implant bar that is fixed in place but can be removed by you to clean. Your dentist can help you with deciding which option is best for you. It is important for it to look good and that often depends on how much bone you have (usually the longer you have been without your teeth, the less bone you have). If your bone has receded, a denture will help provide support for your lips which can make you look younger. If you like the look of the denture but don’t want it to come out at all, it can be fixed right onto the implants. If you have lots of bone, porcelain teeth cemented on implants can look very natural. With anything fixed in place, hygiene (or keeping it clean) can present a real challenge. Water piks, rinses, and a good visit with your hygienist are very helpful in maintaining healthy gums. 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!

It’s a good thing doctors aren’t always right, as Penticton resident Grant Bogyo can attest. In October 1983, the then-28-year-old Bogyo went to his doctor to seek treatment for his swollen feet. Having been diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at the age of 11, he knew his failing kidneys were likely to blame, but he was completely unprepared for the doctor’s prognosis. “He just said: ‘You’re diabetic. Diabetics don’t do well with transplants. You’re going to have to go on dialysis and you’re going to die,” Bogyo recalled. “It was last thing on a Friday afternoon. His bedside manner sucked.” After receiving a second opinion, Bogyo flew to Halifax where he received a kidney from his sister, Valerie, and carried on with his life. “That’s a big deal. The average trans-

plant, they say, lasts 10 years, but there are a few people like Grant who’ve kept them for a lifetime, and so that’s a really special match,” said Teresa Atkinson, who’s organizing the Penticton Kidney Walk on Sunday.The sixth annual event seeks to raise funds to support the Kidney Foundation of Canada’s research into kidney disease and increase awareness about the importance of organ donations. Bogyo will be the guest of honour. About 300 people participated last year, and organizers are hoping for up to 500 this year. In addition to the 2.5-kilometre walk, there will also be five- and 10-km runs, plus a separate race for professionals. Registration opens at 9 a.m. at Riverside Village and events begin at 10 a.m. There will also be a silent auction, barbecue, music and kids’ activities. Atkinson, who undergoes nocturnal

dialysis six nights a week to deal with her chronic kidney disease, hopes Bogyo’s story will help people understand the importance of being a registered organ donor. “If you were to die tomorrow, would you want to help other people live?” she said. “And if you do, then you need to register, because it’s not fair to leave that decision in your family’s hands when they’re in crisis.” Bogyo, who works as a clinical psychologist, is eager to help spread the word. “If I had not received that organ, my wife of 38 years would have been a wife of eight years, I wouldn’t have been able to raise three adopted children, I wouldn’t have gone on and got a doctorate,” he said. “I feel like I owe it to give back. It’s made me have a life, and part of my responsibility is to use it wisely.”

Autumn foilage

Friends of Summerland Ornamental Gardens society is hosting an Autumn Garden Tour on Sept. 28. This is the only one of its kind in the Okanagan.

Garden tour first of its kind in Okanagan

Every September, Shoppers Drug Mart® stores across Canada set up a Tree of Life in support of women’s health, with 100% of all proceeds going directly to women’s health initiatives in your community. Over the years, you’ve contributed over $20 million and we’re hoping you’ll help us make a difference again this year.

by Kristi Patton The Friends of Summerland Ornamental Gardens society is hosting an Autumn Garden Tour on Sept. 28 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. “Spring gardening is very easy to do, it is nature’s calling for an explosion of flowers. In the Fall you have to be do more planning and instead of lots of flowers you get textures, foilages of colour,” said Eva Antonijevic, community programs director for the Friends of Summerland Ornamental Gardens. The tour promises something for everyone, from avid gardeners to casual park strollers. “This is the first time an autumn tour has been held in the Okanagan and we are starting to get quite a bit of interest,” said Antonijevic. There are nine venues, including seven creative spectacular private gardens and two inspiring public gardens on the tour. Works of art by Okanagan artists and artisans will be on display at three gardens, while at two gardens gourmet treats and refreshments will be provided by chefs from Créperie OooLaLa and True Grain Bread. Wine tastings are available from Summerland Bottleneck Drive wineries, Thornhaven Estate and Okanagan Crush Pad. Each garden on this self-guided tour was chosen for its individual style of landscaping, landscape architecture and plant choices, with a special focus on edible, natural and water-wise design. A few of the other highlights include a professional nursery manager’s test garden and

Visit your local Shoppers Drug Mart between September 14 and October 11 and buy a leaf ($1), a butterfly ($5), an acorn ($10) or a cardinal ($50) to help women’s health grow in your community.

playground, spectacular views from a new garden courtyard, an enchanting Southweststyle garden and leafy lush oasis for birds. Tour participants will be able to see which native plants are the most decorative, see time-tested drought tolerant lawngrasses and dryland landscaping plants, compare different composting techniques and see methods of growing food crops throughout the year. Besides this fundraiser, the Friends of Summerland Ornamental Gardens is a great resource. “We pay two part-time gardeners and host lots of work parties for gardeners in training and volunteers. This is a great community resource to learn about these things. We also reach out to the community and last year hosted 140 school children, who put in 4,500 plants. Teachers told us that children love this because they are infatuated with nature and some have never even seen the root of a plant. We also work with multi-cultural groups visiting the area and want to tour the gardens,” said Antonijevic. At the Autumn Garden Tour participants will be able to speak and ask questions to Friends of Summerland Gardens members, master gardeners. All proceeds from the fundraiser will go to the society. Tickets are $20 and available from the Summerland Visitors Centre, DeLong Studio, True Grain Bread, Martin’s Flowers, Art Knapp’s Penticton and West Kelowna, Bylands Garden Centre and Dogwood Nursery.

Test of Humanity rolls in this weekend For the third year in a row, mountain bike enthusiasts have a chance to participate in a race that not only tests their skills and endurance, but helps generate money to support humanitarian work in Ethiopia. The third annual Test of Humanity race takes place in Summerland on Sept. 22 with races for beginner to expert mountain bikers of all ages. Last year, the race raised $34,665 for Canadian Humanitarian’s Ethiopian projects, as well as collecting food for the Summerland food bank, fulfilling the dual goals set out by the race’s founders, Nic and Sheilagh Seaton.

“Over the first two years we raised a total of $75,000 and that contributed to the building of a school in a rural village in Ethiopia.”

Sheilagh Seaton

“It’s fantastic. Over the first two years, we raised a total of $75,000 and that contributed to the building of a school in a rural village in Ethiopia,” said Sheilagh Seaton, an instructor at Okanagan College. A documentary about the race and the work being done in Ethiopia is available at www.testofhumanity. com The Seatons started working on the race after a trip to EthiPenticton

opia with a group of Sheilagh’s students. “Coming back from that course was what inspired us to see if we could do something more to help with the projects Canadian Humanitarian was doing in Ethiopia,” she said. “Somehow we came up with the idea of a mountain bike race, because at that time, there wasn’t really anything in the fall in the Okanagan for mountain bikers.”

Gallery

This year, some of the founding members of Canadian Humanitarian will be at the race, and Sheilagh said cyclist Axel Merckx and his family have already registered to take part. “And Evan Guthrie is back to defend his title,” said Sheilagh. Guthrie finished first out of 73 riders in the Men’s 16 to 39 age group last year, completing seven laps at an average speed of 18.71 kmh.

PROOF

Before Midnight September 26th

at 4 & 7 p.m. at the Landmark 7 Cinema **** An Essential Film **** Thoughtful **** Poignant ****

The third installment in a beloved tale that spans nearly 20 years, Celine and Jesse are enjoying the last days of a vacation in Greece. Long gone are the early days of youthful romanticism discovered in Vienna; or even the regret of time past and the unfulfilled promise of a missed opportunity found again in Paris. This time around, the couple have been together for almost a decade and the friction of daily life shows. Midlife is messier, more painful and far more complicated than cobblestone meanderings could have predicted. Built on the natural flow of interaction, the film engages on a level of insightful intimacy that is, at times, as uncomfortable as overhearing an alcove conversation. Romance maybe rocky for this complex couple, but perhaps it is richer and more beautifully defined as well. This is a film to be cherished as a literary as well as a cinematic achievement.

or the full Four-hour Test. “The Four-hour Test can accommodate a variety of skill levels because you are doing your own race,” said Sheilagh. “There are people that do six or seven laps, either as individuals or as a (two person) team, but other people are happy to do one lap.” The race has changed slowly over its three years. This year they’ve focused on adding more activities for children, to get more kids involved in the race.

“Every year we change it just a little bit based on people’s feedback,” said Sheilagh. The day gets underway on Sunday with the first pre-race meetings at 8:30 a.m., leading up to the start of the start of the last event, the Four-hour Test, which starts at 11 a.m. A full race schedule, along with course information is available online at www. testofhumanity.com. All financial proceeds from the race support the Canadian Humanitarian Association (canadianhu-

manitarian.com) and each registered participant is asked to bring a small bag of nonperishable food items, which will be donated to the South Okanagan Food Bank. “Whatever they bring, we just ask them to make a contribution as part of their registration. We don’t want to ignore the fact that we also have local requirements or people in need,” said Sheilagh. “It is amazing to see how many people are interested in doing good in the world.”

Full Steam ahead

Steam open season with two wins on the road

Brett Huber backstopped the Steam to two big road wins on the opening weekend of the 2013/14 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League season. Huber faced 62 shots and allowed just one powerplay goal in six periods of play. On Friday evening the Steam were in Osoyoos, where they demoralized their archrivals 4-0 in front of their home crowd. Scoring for the Steam were rookies Aaron Durant, Reid Brown and Shane Bennett

while the wylie veteran Olli Dickson added his first of the season. On Saturday they journeyed to Revelstoke and hammered the Grizzlies by a 6-1 score. The home town Griz-

zlies came out hard and physical but were no match for the fast, disciplined visitors. Kendell Wilson opened the scoring with the Grizzlies tieing it up to end the first period, the Steam took over the game in the second scoring three times, Alex Fraser, Durant and Brown. The Steam continued their dominance in the third adding two more by Josh DaCosta and Cooper Holick. Next weekend the Steam are on the road once again with games in Nelson, Beaver ValHigh kicks John Arendt Black Press ley and Spokane.

Kazakhstan hockey in Summerland by Emanuel Sequeira The Okanagan Hockey Academy female prep team will take on Kazakhstan’s national women’s squad. The first game between the teams is scheduled for Sept. 26 at 4:30 p.m. in the South Okanagan Events Centre and Sept. 28 in Summerland at 1:15 p.m. “I think it’s going to be a pretty neat experience for all of our girls,” said OHA coach Rebecca Russell. “I don’t know how strong they are going to be this year. It’s still pretty neat when you get to play a national team from a different country like Kazakhstan. It’s going to be fun.” The big thing for the OHA is they are playing a home game. They don’t play a lot in the SOEC’s OHA Training Centre during the Junior Women’s Hockey League season. In the JWHL, the OHA is 15

It’s a great opportunity for coaches as well.” Wilson, who coached Canada’s under-22 women’s team to gold in the Air Canada Cup in 2007, said the Kazakhstan team, which ranges in age from 17 to 35, is growing their game at the grassroots. They qualified for the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002 and finished eighth. Since then, they have lost some of their positioning in the world rankings (now 14th) due to players retiring. Kazakhstan still has a chance to qualify for the Sochi Olympics depending on their play in qualification tournaments. Wilson said the sports federation in Kazakhstan is doing

a good job of trying to get it into schools and identifies hockey as a sport good for young girls. The OHA is able to play Kazakhstan as the connection was made between Wilson and Russell, who will coach Team B.C. under-18 team against Kazakhstan this week at UBC. Kazakhstan is part of the Mentor Ambassador Program that will end following the Sochi Olympics. It started during the Vancouver Olympics. “What it means is that players and coaches from the top ranked teams, Canada, United States, Finland and Sweden, have donated their time to help those teams around the world that are ranked a little bit lower,” said Wilson, adding that it’s a great initiative. “It’s been a great experience.” The two games are free to attend.

Summerland Review Thursday, September 19, 2013

Former Skating Club member returns to lead all levels Schmidt selected as head coach A skater who was a student in the Summerland Skating Club has returned to head the coaching responsibilities this year. Shirley Schmidt was selected as the head coach to replace Dale Wood, who retired from the role in spring. “It’s nice to come back to this rink again,” Schmidt said. For the coming year, she hopes to attract more skaters into all levels of the skating program. For younger skaters, the Can Skate program teaches them how to skate. For boys in hockey, a power skating class provides them with the skills they need to improve in their sport. “I’m hoping to grow that program with the club,” she said. “They’ll be better all-around skaters.”

She added that she would like to offer an adult power skating program in the future. The figure skating instruction will continue. Schmidt said clubs throughout the South Okanagan are smaller than in the past. She urges skaters to join the program for many benefits. In addition to the fitness benefits, she said the participants learn to focus on their goals. “There’s great discipline involved,” she said. “You’ve got to be very dedicated.” Those who have that level of dedication can eventually advance to coaching positions and touring with travelling ice shows. For this year, the star skating program for figure skaters has already started. the Can Skate program and the power skating program will begin in early October at the Summerland Arena.

Stick curling season resumes this fall

Sturling, a variation of curling with sticks, will resume this fall at the Summerland Curling Club. The sport allows past and future curlers with bad knees, bad backs or advancing years to continue curling. Using a stick to push the rocks, the curlers are able to remain standing throughout the game. Sturling teams have two players, with one skipping and the other throwing six rocks.

Outdoor court nets upgrade Outdoor basketball court improved

Street ball

Carla McLeod Special to the Summerland Review

Abhishek Lekhi organized a three-on-three basketball tournament that was held at the Summerland Middle School outdoor basketball court. Six teams from the South Okanagan registered to play in the tournament. Sponsors for the event included Basketball B.C., Nesters Market, Summerland Credit Union and Sandhu Fruit Farms. After all costs, any money left over will go towards resurfacing the court. Lekhi has been an advocate for the sport, lobbying the School District and the City of Summerland for upgrades to the court. As a result new lines, rims and nets have been installed. He is very pleased with the response from the community and with the turnout for the tournament. Pictured here are two Summerland teams competing against each other, the Basket Brawlers and the Deep Throwers.

The outdoor basketball court at Summerland Middle School has been improved as a result of a project between the Okanagan Skaha School District and the municipality. Dale MacDonald, director of parks and recreation for the municipality, said the improvements came after a request from Abhishek Lekhi, a high school basketball player.Lekhi said the outdoor court did not have the necessary lines marked and was not well illuminated for evening play. MacDonald said the work was done in partnership with the school district. Hoops and nets for outdoor play were purchased and lines were painted on the court. The outdoor court was used for a three-onthree basketball tournament on the weekend. The tournament was organized by Lekhi to raise money for basketball facilities in summer and to boost the popularity of the game. It was sponsored by Basketball B.C.

Roles are reversed every second end. The game is six ends and sweeping is not permitted. Registration for the coming season is on Thursday, Sept. 19 from 6 to 9 p.m. Beginners may try out the concept on Friday, Oct. 12 from 6 to 9 p.m. Practice sessions are Oct. 13 and 14 from 1 to 4 p.m. and leagues begin Friday, Oct. 18 at 9:15 p.m. Summerland’s third annual stick bonspiel will be held on Dec. 7.

Jeffrey Robert Bertoia b: November 6, 1976, Summerland BC d: September 7, 2013, Squamish BC

Are not the mountains, waves and skies A part of me and my soul, As I of them? - Lord Byron It is with great sadness that we share the loss of our beloved son, brother, uncle, friend, and all around amazing person, Jeff Bertoia. He is survived by his loving parents, Robert and Carole (Marsh) Bertoia, sister Kristine (Brent), nieces Lauren and Amy, extended family, and his hundreds of friends who were truly his family. Jefe lived his life to the fullest, and made the most of every single minute. He achieved and experienced more in his 36 years here than many of us will in a lifetime. He died in a paragliding accident in Squamish, doing what he loved. We thank the Squamish Search and Rescue Crew for their dedication and service, and we ask that donations be made to them in lieu of flowers. A memorial service will be held in Summerland at the Harold Simpson Memorial Centre on Saturday, September 21 at 1pm. Cremation has already taken place.

Summerland Review Thursday, September 19, 2013

www.summerlandreview.com 23

Summerland - just one of the many festivals that used to be held in what was once called The Towne of Festivals. In addition to “obvious” examples of cultural assets in our community (Centre Stage, the Art Gallery, Library, Street Banners, the Bear sculpture) many table groups mentioned the “small-town” atmosphere, the tradition

of volunteerism (although a number of people mentioned that it was getting increasingly difficult to find volunteers) that is expressed in so many ways from Meals on Wheels to all the other projects by service clubs and other organizations. ooo If you know of OPEN an event you feel HOUSE should be included in the Arts Palette or

on the Arts Council’s online calendar, please email artspalette@summerlandarts.com or call 250404-3225. http://summerlandarts.com and http://twitter.com/ artspalette The Arts Palette is written by David Finnis, publicity chair and President of the Summerland Community Arts Council.

Lead singer Paul Rodgers of Bad Co. belts out one of his hits from behind the piano during Saturday night’s rock fest at the South Okanagan Events Centre. The high-energy performance by the fourmember band kept the crowd on its feet from beginning to triple-encore end. Rodgers and his wife, Cynthia Kereluk call Summerland home.

Great discussion at Cultural Cafe Last Thursday evening 55 people gathered at the I.O.O.F. Hall for a Conversation Cafe to discuss cultural issues in Summerland. Conversation Cafes are designed to facilitate discussion by all participants in a freeflowing type of atmosphere. And that certainly was the case last Thursday. There were many responses to the first question: “What does David Finnis culture mean to you?” Art as in painting, dance, photos, quilting, traditions of a family, live theatre, and music were just a few of the things mentioned. People mentioned how they enjoyed seeing plays at Centre Stage Theatre and movies in Memorial Park. Someone mentioned they would love to have a Summerland version of the Kitchen Stove Film series and have international films shown here in Summerland. People also mentioned the impact of location and geography on our local culture. The beaches, orchards and vineyards. How wineries are impacting our culture (favourably); especially when music and food was included. Food was a recurring theme in several
