Wharton plan cancelled by John Arendt

WWW.SUMMERLANDREVIEW.COM

The municipality has cancelled the Wharton Street development contract. Because of unforeseen health issues of the developer, there are no plans to renew the agreement now that it has expired. “The district is disappointed we will not be continuing with the development due to unfortunate circum-

stances,” said Acting Mayor Martin Van Alphen. “We wish the owner a speedy recovery.” The present development concept was presented to the public in March, 2012. The design included four buildings, each five storeys high, with commercial space and residential units. The development also included a new museum, library and underground

parking. On Aug. 16, 2012, the documents for the development were signed. At that time, the target date for groundbreaking was February, 2013 and the first building was to be completed early in 2014. The value of the project was estimated at $90 to $120 million. In August, municipal planner Ian McIntosh said the project had been

put on hold because the proponent, Danny Nonis, had serious health problems earlier in spring. However, the developers were still interested in proceeding with the project. The municipality will now work with the Okanagan Regional Library Board to find a suitable location. Other options for Wharton Street will be considered in the coming

months. This is not the first time a development proposal for Wharton Street has fallen through. In January, 2011, a similar proposal for the site was abandoned. Mike Rink of New Futures Development Group, had expressed an interest in the development but an agreement had not been signed. The property was then re-evaluated on March 28, 2011.

Carla McLeod Special to the Summerland Review

The Summerland Aquatic Centre recently purchased some new inflatables for use in the pool. Recreational Director, Dale MacDonald said “the methodology being that we have more for kids to do. We want to attract families and children.” Pictured here balancing on one of the new toys is nine-year-old Jordyn Emshay.

Electricity policy requested by John Arendt

The creator of an electrical power producing unit wants a policy which would allow independent power producers to interact with the existing utility grid and leverage the municipality’s current billing and electrical infrastructure investments. Jai Zachary of ElectroMotion Energy Corporation said his company’s

unit, the Revolution, combines heating, cooling, hot water and backup electrical systems into one unit. It creates electricity while heating the home, reducing electricity demand while also providing power to the utility grid which is then consumed by neighbours. Zachary is asking the municipality for permission to interact with the utility grid and implement a billing and

metering system to provide surplus power to the power utility. He said other communities already have billing policies to allow those who are generating electricity to sell their power to the utility. The billing system would benefit those who are producing surplus power. Installing Revolution units would also result in money savings for the municipality. Zachary said peak

demand is like rush hour energy traffic – when the highest level of electrical energy is consumed at the same time, like a high level watermark. For Summerland, this high demand period is during our heating months and affects electrical rates for the whole year. Peak penalties are charged because of peak demand, and in the past 10 years, Summerland’s peak penalties increased

from $17,430 to $256,886, an increase of more than 1,300 per cent. At present, one Revolution unit is in place in Summerland. If 1,000 Revolution units were operating almost all of the peak penalties would be eliminated, Zachary said. Earlier this month, he presented his proposal to municipal council. A decision is expected at the next municipal council meeting on Oct. 15.

Search warrant leads to drug arrests A search warrant at a home in the Trout Creek area resulted in an arrest for the Penticton Drug Task Force. On Sept. 13 task force officers arrested three men in a vehicle on Eckhardt Avenue in Penticton. Following the arrest, Mounties attended the residence located on Highway 97 in the Trout Creek area and executed a drug search warrant, arresting one female at the house. In the course of this search the officers located and seized quantities of powder cocaine,

crack cocaine, methamphetamine, three firearms and ammunition. Cpl. Dan Moskaluk said two of the males arrested in the vehicle and the female at the residence were later released with no charges. Ryan Joseph Patt, 23, appeared in court on Sept. 16 pleading guilty to three of the eight charges proposed on him. Patt plead guilty to possession of methamphetamine, possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking and breach of probation. He was sentenced to six months in jail.

Accident victim name released Summerland RCMP have released the name of the woman killed after being hit by a motorcycle while walking in a crosswalk. Maxine Svennes, 84, was crossing Prairie Valley Road in a marked crosswalk on Sept. 13 at 11:32 a.m. when she

was struck by BMW motorcycle travelling east, operated by a 62-year-old man. She was transported to Penticton Regional Hospital where she later died from her injuries. Police and coroner investigations are continuing into this incident.

Lake returning to natural state by Carla McLeod Special to the Review A popular area used for mud bogging a number of years back is beginning to return to its natural state. Ritchie Lake, situated north of Summerland, just past Garnett Lake, was once a healthy wetland area, providing habitat and a source of drinking water for wildlife in the area. Wetlands such as this are rare in the South Okanagan and very sensitive to human activities and development. It had been virtually destroyed over time by off-road vehicles, road and pipeline construction, cattle accessing the water, and several very dry years. In order to restore the wetlands to its natural state, a partnership was formed between the South Okanagan-Similkameen Conservation Program Manager, the Summerland

In the mud

Ritchie Lake had been used for mud bogging and off-road vehicle activity in the past. Efforts have been made to protect and restore this area.

Sportsmens’ Association, the local rancher, the B.C. Conservation Officer Service and the land manager, Ministry of Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. An application was made to the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, with Provincial range staff providing support and materials. The group now had cash, materials and a total of 10 volunteers.

It took about four days to erect a wildlife friendly range fence around the perimeter of the former pond. A number of boulders were placed in the low spots. An interpretive sign was posted stating the sensitivity of the ecosystem and the value to wildlife. It also lists the funders, partners and volunteers involved. The project was completed in September

of 2012. But it takes more than fences and signage to change behaviours. It is through education that a critical mass of people are beginning to understand, that every action on our part brings a reaction in our environment.

Continued monitoring and management of this wetland and the Garnett Valley area is being done by the province, with penalties in place to be handed out to anyone found to be contributing to the destruction of the area.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Canada vs. The USA Do you believe we are becoming more and more like our American cousins? Well, in some respects their culture has been a very big influence on ours. Whether or not that is a good thing is a matter of opinion and for that matter who's opinion it is. From a legal stand point, there are many areas where the American judicial system has encountered situations years ahead of the Canadian experience and as a result has been used as a guide by the Canadian courts in dealing with that situation. One aspect of our two legal systems will never be the same however, and that is the influence that juries play in creating law and awards. In America, a jury has a relatively free reign in handing out awards in civil matters. In Canada there are strict limitations on the amounts a Judge or Jury can award. The reason for this column? An article in the Canadian Lawyer Magazine estimated the value of all monetary awards given by juries in the US in 2002. The number was $283 BILLION dollars. Something to think about.

our pick

The end of a development Once again a plan to set up a multi-use development on Wharton Street has fallen through. In the past three years, two similar proposals for Wharton Street have both failed, although for different reasons. Both times, the people of Summerland watched with a mixture of excitement and apprehension as the details of the developments were presented. And both times, there was a sense of disappointment when the plan was abandoned. The latest proposal, which was abandoned earlier this week, called for four five-storey buildings and included space for a new museum and library as well as residential units and commercial spaces. The benefits of such a development are obvious. The library and the museum are both in desperate need of new and larger facilities. Any plan which can accommodate their growing needs should be considered. The residential units in the proposal could have brought some positive changes to the downtown area. If people live in the downtown area, the increased activity there could have resulted in a new level of vibrancy for the area. Now that the development plan has come to an end, it is time for the community to take a look at other ways to meet some of these needs. The library continues to operate out of an extremely crowded space. The museum is much too small to adequately house the various artifacts. These facilities must be replaced quickly. The community cannot wait much longer. The need for housing units in the area is also a need which will not go away any time soon. As the community grows, it is important to have housing available. Whether these needs will be met with another version of the Wharton Street development or by another means remains to be seen.

We are happy to see the area around Ritchie Lake returning to its natural state. The lake had been ravaged by various human activities, developments and cattle in the area. Numerous groups and organizations worked to restore the lands around the lake. At the same time, we continue to ask why anyone would deliberately engage in activities which could destroy such an area.

Regulator’s readings on smart meters VICTORIA – Despite efforts to keep the smart meter “controversy” alive by repeating imaginary health claims, the end is near. Energy Minister Bill Bennett has made what sounds like a final offer to holdouts. You want to keep your old mechanical Tom Fletcher meter, fill your boots. It’ll cost you an extra $35 a month, starting in December. If you insist on a “radio off” wireless meter, there will be a setup fee of $100 and a monthly fee of $20 to have someone collect the readings. These charges are to be reviewed by the B.C. Utilities Commission, the independent panel that smart meter opponents want to review BC Hydro’s whole smart grid project. As it happens, the BCUC recently did just that for an application by FortisBC to install wireless meters for its Okanagan and Kootenay customers. The meters were approved, and the findings are instructive. The BCUC report notes that it received “many” complaints about smart meter signals being added to existing radio frequency (RF) sources. Some used familiar scare rhetoric about “toxic microwave radiation” that’s promoted by people trying to make money by exploiting fear.

One of the experts retained by FortisBC was Dr. Yakov Shkolnikov, an electrical engineer with advanced degrees from Princeton and Cornell Universities. His testimony was not challenged by any of the lineup of opponents. A sample of his findings illustrates the absurdity of this whole discussion. Shkolnikov calculated that a cell phone in use generates radio signals that reach 10 per cent of the international safety code limit. A microwave oven generates 2.3 per cent of the safe limit. A cordless phone: 1.25 per cent. A wi-fi signal: 0.0045 per cent. A bank of smart meters, not separated by a wall, registers 0.0019 per cent. The natural background RF level is 0.013 per cent. Note the decimal place. The level in the middle of a wilderness is more than 10 times that received from a bank of meters. BCUC staff added, for comparison, the radio signal level emitted by a human body. It’s 0.018 per cent. What this means is your spouse snoring beside you is a stronger source of RF than a whole wall of smart meters. Experts put up by opponents didn’t fare so well. One was Jerry Flynn, a retired Canadian Forces officer from Kelowna who travels around taking readings, talking to elderly people about alleged hazards of meters, and making claims to the media about what he has called the single biggest threat to human health today.

The BCUC found his military experience not “relevant,” and his evidence frequently “incorrect, exaggerated and/or unsubstantiated.” Then there was Curtis Bennett, who described himself as “chief science officer” for a company called Thermoguy. He spoke on behalf of West Kootenay Concerned Citizens. In a 2012 letter to the B.C. energy ministry, Bennett warned of the danger of smart meters triggering “molecular earthquakes.” The BCUC panel wrote: “While Mr. Bennett has an electrician’s knowledge of electrical systems, it is clear that he is unqualified to give expert opinion evidence on the health effects of RF, exposure standards for RF, engineering, physics or geological phenomena such as earthquakes.” Citizens for Safe Technology put up one Dr. Donald Maisch, who claimed to have experience with this issue in Australia. The panel noted that Maisch runs EMFacts Consultancy, and agreed with FortisBC’s argument that “Dr. Maisch’s consulting livelihood depends upon public fears and concerns about RF exposure.” Would you like this circus of quackery to be restaged over BC Hydro’s program, at your expense?

bad apples Recent drug-related arrests in Trout Creek are concerning. During a search of a home last week, police seized powder cocaine, crack cocaine, methamphetamine, firearms and ammunition. Arrests were also made in the incident and one person was given a six-month jail sentence. Drug trafficking activity in a residential area can have some serious consequences.

Bus should meet student needs Dear Editor: As a parent of a child who lives in Summerland, but attends a Penticton School, I have eagerly awaited details of the much touted new transit plans, allegedly designed to meet the needs of students. Imagine then my amaze-

ment on talking to the team at the Summerland Fall Fair, who were unaware that this target audience even existed – they were under the impression that all children who lived in Summerland had to attend a Summerland school. There are a number of par-

ents who are forced to drive to Penticton and back twice a day – journeys that could be avoided with a carefully thought-out transit plan. I understand that the proposed route stops at the college and then runs along Conklin Avenue, before joining Main

Street at Penticton Plaza. Was no consideration given to the route turning up Fairview Road, stopping outside the library to allow KVR and Pen High students to disembark, and then proceeding down Main Street? This route would then actually meet the

needs of students. There are a number of parents in my situation, who were looking forward to having a viable option to driving – the plan proposed by B.C. Transit falls far short of expectations. Lidia Kotulska Summerland

Summerland gave a warm welcome Dear Editor: Four years ago, we decided to start looking for a retirement property in the Okanagan. Several summer vacations at various bed and breakfasts throughout the Okanagan made our choice of Summerland easy. What a gem. The people of Summerland have been amazing. Although we still do not reside here full time, we feel so at home and welcomed into this community. We’d like to acknowledge the following businesses: Firstly, Royal LePage. Upon contacting three real estate agencies, only they were willing to meet us and show us properties, even though we didn’t plan on purchasing in the near future.

Brenda Hamilton Manager/Funeral Director

The agent’s attitude was “It’s okay if you don’t buy now.....I’ll know you better in a few years and what you like.” Well, we did buy — a Qualas Development new home. The real estate agent offered to check on our home regularly, Qualas Contracting and Development volunteered to deal with all the furniture deliveries that incessantly kept arriving at our home here (since we are from out of province) and the Summerland Review staff readily contacted the Welcome Lady who graciously showered us with coupons/gifts from local businesses. Nesters Market welcomed us with a free pound of coffee while we were shopping there for the first time. All of our neighbours

are amazing: cutting our lawn for us, shovelling the snow off the driveway before we arrive in winter and lending us their tools and lawn mowers. A very special thank you to all of our new friends in Summerland who volunteered to keep our grass green throughout the month of June when our irrigation system broke down. Last March, Good Omens and The Beanery welcomed our son Ky, a professional singer/songwriter, arranging events in their establishments for him to perform at. Loyal patrons at Good Omens even invited Ky and the backup musician to their home for refreshments and snacks after the concert. Thornhaven Estates

Winery plays his CD regularly on their patio. The owners and staff at both Dirty Laundry and Silkscarf often treat us to special tastings to show us their appreciation for bringing all of our guests to their tasting rooms. And, just recently, when we needed more wire hangers for our clothes, A Stitch in Tyme dry cleaners gave my husband hangers for free, even though he wanted to pay for them. What a wonderful community. Nice to know we chose the second best place in B.C. to retire. We are proud to be residents of Summerland. Sandy and Dwayne Babyn Summerland

Summerland Review Thursday, September 26, 2013

Train sees increase in ridership numbers by Carla McLeod Special to the Review The busiest part of the Kettle Valley Steam Railway’s season is over for another year. With only 24 trips left to go, general manager Ron Restrick is confident with his conservative estimate for ridership being the same or slightly higher compared to last year, with more than 26,000 riders on the train. Upgrading of the rails continued this year with 400 ties being replaced. Restrick also explained how the

Hockey action

Railway had taken a pro active stance after the tragedy in LacMegantic, Quebec. They hired Cariboo Central Railroad Contracting Ltd. to install a 131-metre track, on which to park the coaches. Because of the tracks bowl design, it makes it impossible for any runaway to happen. The work had already been completed by the time the railway division of the B.C. Safety Authority contacted them, giving all operating railways in the province five days in which to mitigate any chance of a similar accident

occurring. Also along safety lines, Restrick said they continue to have problems with people walking on the tracks. “Any time is train time,” he said. “We are operating an active railway with crews and equipment out on the track at anytime, not just during the tourist season.” It is against the law to trespass on the railroad right of way. “It is dangerous for people as well as the train crew,” he said. Marketing manager Jo Ann Reynolds continues to

reaffirm how positive the steam train is for Summerland. She said a magazine out of Ontario called Horizon Travel approached them and placed a quarter section ad and did a quarter page editorial on the train. The magazine goes out to 22 U.S. cities. A five second promotion was also put up on the ABC/Good Morning America jumbo screen in Time Square for one week, the train thus being seen 120 times in total. “People are noticing us out there and we are thrilled about it.”

Fundraiser benefits young cancer patient day, Sept. 28 in Summerland. “All the money is going to help the family with the cost of being in Vancouver,” she explained. Byrnell was scheduled to enter Grade 4 at Okanagan Falls Elementary School this month, and previously attended Wiltse Elementary School in Penticton with Green’s daughter. “Anybody who meets Aiden, (they) love him instantly,” she said. “He’s just a sweetheart. He’s just a good-natured, funny,

polite, little kid, as are his parents. They’re both just sweet people.” Lisa McCall, the principal at Byrnell’s school, said his family has asked for privacy, but noted the boy is popular with staff and classmates in Okanagan Falls. “He is just so loved and such a compassionate child. Loved by all staff and students,” she said. The fundraiser begins at 5 p.m. in the banquet room of the Summerland Arena. Tickets are $15 and include dinner and

a social dance to follow. There will also be a raffle and silent auction. Green said businesses from throughout the South Okanagan have been “overly generous” in their gifts of merchandise for the event, at which a sweater signed by Chicago Blackhawk Duncan Keith will also be up for grabs. For tickets call Kenna Green at 250488-2143, Clayton Keys at 250-488-0301, Tristin Wilson at 250488-4460, or Greg Miller at 250-8094053.

As a little boy fights for his life in a Vancouver hospital, friends in the South Okanagan are organizing a fundraiser to help support his family.

The Friends of the Summerland Library is sponsoring a seminar for authors on publishing and marketing their manuscripts. The discussion will explore the many choices which confront the unpublished writer and how to go about evaluating them. The event will take place at the Summerland Library on Oct. 22 from 4 to 6 p.m. Coffee, tea and cookies will be available from 3:30 p.m. Some of the questions to be discussed include: o How do I get published? o Do I need an agent? o Print, digital or both? o How do I choose between all the selfpublishing options? The growth of the Internet and online information has changed the publishing and marketing of books more in the past 15 years than in the previous two or three centuries. Digital publishing, books on demand, e-books, blogs and an infinite array of choices for self-expression confront an author now, instead of the closed world of agents and editors. How to navigate these changes is the purpose of this seminar, which brings together people from Summerland

Terry Zimmerman stops to sign a petition in favour of B.C. holding a referendum to decriminalize the possession of marijuana. The Sensible B.C. campaign is attempting to collect 400,000 signatures from all across B.C. between Sept. 9 and Dec. 5, in order to hold the referendum. They are calling on the B.C. Government to pass the sensible policing act, which will stop police from arresting citizens for possession of marijuana. The act also demands that the Federal Government repeal marijuana prohibition. Volunteer canvasser Robert Parkhurst plans to be set up in front of the Summerland Post Office on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the campaign.

landscape. I like landscape because it speaks to me,” said Hibberd, during an event at the Tumbleweed Gallery in Penticton last week. “I was painting people’s faces for a year and it was time to get back outside.” The Summerland man has joined a collective of artists at Tumbleweed Gallery to show off his latest in regional landscapes. Currently Hibberd has two pieces at the Tumbleweed Gallery including an oil painting of Vaseux Lake and a larger piece that is overlooking Okanagan Lake off a bluff between Summerland and Peachland “I often paint from the forest and find neat spots I like. I try to find something that speaks to me then try to get it down on paint,” he said. The collective at Tumbleweed Gallery includes Margo Cooper, Kate Kimberley, Jill Leir Salter,

Artists

Summerland oil painter Bill Hibberd is part of a collective at the Tumbleweed Gallery in Penticton. The collective includes Margo Cooper, Kate Kimberley, Jill Leir Salter, Liz Marshall, Loraine Stephanson, Susan McCarrell, Jan Little and Hibberd.

Liz Marshall, Loraine Stephanson, Susan McCarrell, Jan Little and Hibberd. When an opening to join the collective arose, Hibberd submitted his curriculum vitae and was chosen. They were looking for an active member who could work one Friday a month at the gallery and an art-

ist and person who would fit in well with the group. “We like his style of work and believe he will be a good fit with the group of artists,” said Marshall. “We took note of the fact he is always moving forward and open-minded with his art. As well he is trying different

things, but largely does landscape and figurative work and that fits well with us.” Working in oils primarily, Hibberd attempts to connect with whatever subject he is interested in and fashion a visual poem. He believes painting should open the door for others to

enter into a unique space. The artist has called Summerland home for well over 20 years and has a studio on Johnson Street in Trout Creek. “Painting has always been a passion of mine, but I had to get into business to support my family. I always painted when I could and then when I was able to I shut down the business and became a full-time artist,” he said. Hibberd’s 100 portraits, My Tribe, was recently part of an exhibit at the Penticton Art Gallery and Summerland Art Gallery. Earlier this summer, Hibberd was informed the Summerland Art Gallery acquired some of his work for their permanent collection. “I am committed to a life long adventure, standing on the shoulders of great painters from the past, honing my skills to be a better painter and hopefully, an artist,” said Hibberd.

Cross-country race planned Adult and youth runners will participate

Bicycle race

On Oct. 6 at 10 a.m. there will be a 7.4-kilometre adult crosscountry running race and a 3.2-kilometre kids’ race beginning near the Summerland Rodeo Grounds and the Kettle Valley Steam Railway station. The adults’ race will be the second of five cross-country races put on by the Interior Running Association and sponsored by the Vernon running and outdoor store, The Starting Block. The route will have runners make their way along the relatively flat Trans-Canada Trail towards Summerland, and then at the 3.5 km mark they will head back towards the Rodeo Grounds along a higher trail, which includes a few hills before a generally flat and downhill 1.5 km to the finish. The adults’ race is suitable for both casual joggers as well as more competitive runners. This year sees the addition of a kids’ race beginning at the same time.

Carla McLeod Special to the Summerland Review

Mountain bike riders set out from Denike Street in Summerland, for the Four-Hour Test category, in the third annual Test of Humanity Race held on Sunday. The objective was to do as many loops of the 9.75-kilometre course as possible in four hours. There were several different races held during the event, for all ages and skill levels. The main goal of the race is to raise money for the Canadian Humanitarian Association. Registrants were also asked to bring a donation for the South Okanagan Food Bank. To view what has been accomplished by this initiative go to www.testofhumanity.com.

Golfers earn provincial recognition by Emanuel Sequeira Black Press Greg Machtaler and Tye Babkirk hope to return with some hardware from the PGA of B.C. awards at River Rock Casino Oct. 16. Machtaler has been nominated for the Apprentice of the Year award by Cleveland Golf/Srixon Canada, while Babkirk is a nominee for the Junior Golf Leader of the Year award by Rampion Enter-

prises Ltd. Machtaler said the nomination means a lot and shows the hard work and preparation he has done at the Summerland Golf and Country Club and in the pro shop pays off. “It would be really awesome to win. I’m in pretty good company,” said Machtaler, a PGA of Canada assistant pro who is up against three other nominees. “All those other guys that got nom-

inated are just as deserving, if not more deserving, than me. We all work very hard in the golf industry. Just to be nominated is a pretty cool feat. To win would definitely be the icing on the cake to a great year.” Machtaler, who won the PGA of B.C. championship this summer, said the recognition is good to get the golf course’s name out. People will see the hard work they do

and how serious they take their job and are devoted to giving members and guests the best experience. He said the nomination shows they are doing things right. As for Babkirk’s nomination, Machtaler said he’s a great person who works hard on every aspect of the golf industry. Babkirk is the director of golf and head pro and oversees dayto-day operations. “He’s done a lot this year,” said

Machtaler. “We hosted the B.C. pro junior championship. He basically organized the whole thing. It was a huge success.” Babkirk said his nomination isn’t personal recognition, but for their facility. “That’s the biggest thing. It’s just a testament to the dedication of all of our professional staff,” he said. “To try and grow the game and increase the longevity of our

Robert Morris Davis (Cowboy Bob) passed away, Wednesday Sept 11 2013 at 8:10 am at the Shuswap Lake General Hospital in Salmon Arm. His three daughters and one son were able to say their goodbyes as well as his only surviving brother. His caregiver and partner Judith Platzer was by his side till the end. Bob is survived by his Daughters Ellen Lenzi of Revelstoke, Laura & David Fyles of Salmon Arm, Denise Giammarino of Kelowna, and one Son Glen Davis of Leduc Alberta, also one Brother Ernie & Judy Davis of Royal City, Eastern Washington. He also had 7 Grandchildren and 7 Great Grandchildren. Bob was born in Melville Saskatchewan and was the second youngest of a family of 13 brothers and sisters. As a young man he did his part for the war effort by enlisting in the Merchant Marines. He later moved to the west coast and worked on the tugboats for his brother-in-law. It was during that time where he met and married Monica Snow. They moved to Nanaimo where he took his Heavy Duty Mechanics. They had four children and after a time moved to Summerland BC where they worked, as well ran a small farm and raised their family. In later life Dad did a number of things from working on the Hydro project in Revelstoke to Ranching and running a Feed Store in Merritt. In his retirement years he spent some time living on his boat at Pender Island. Dad was as comfortable running his small yacht as sitting in the saddle or driving his beloved team of appaloosas. He loved to be near the water and that is what attracted him to Sicamous, where he enjoyed many hours chatting up the locals at the Legion or Eagle View Manor and Grandmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Grandpaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant. There will be a memorial at the Sicamous Legion, Saturday, October 26, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. Memorial donations can be made to the Shuswap Lake Hospital Foundation, Box 265, Salmon Arm, BC, V1E 4N3 or online at ShuswapHospitalFoundation. org, in the name of Cowboy Bob.

Summerland Review Thursday, September 26, 2013

www.summerlandreview.com 19

Talented artists brighten the community As I mentioned in last week’s column Summerland is fortunate to have a very vibrant cultural community that includes many talented artists. A large number of these talented individuals are schoolage and many of their works are prominently displayed as street banners around downtown and Lowertown. Some of those younger artists also had works at last weekend’s Summerland Fall Fair. The winners of the most promising artists for the Fall Fair are Ian Robinson for the under five category; Brix Corday for the six- to eightyear-olds; Keelyn Mitchell for nine- to 11-year-olds and Dayvi Nelson for 12-15-year-olds. These young artists all received $50 gift certificates towards classes in our Summer Arts Program. Nelson has the opportunity to choose to take an adult class from our Fall into Art or Spring Don’t Hibernate workshop sessions. You will have an opportunity to see a wide array of talent and whimsical expression at the Art Gallery when two new shows open on Thursday, Oct. 3. In the Main Gallery is the Summerland Art Gallery Creative Challenge, Banners Reborn. Come and see what has been done with old street banners. In the Adams Room is a show entitled Myths, Fables and Fairytales, fea-

turing works by the Summerland Potters Guild. This theme was chosen to encompass every eclectic taste of the guild members, from bizarre to the more conventional. They hope that the community will enjoy seeing their artistic endeavours and will be able to relate to some of their childhood favourites. Don’t forget that bids are being accepted for banners hanging downtown and on Lakeshore Drive. You can enter your bid in the Banner

Arts PAlette

David Finnis Book at the Arts Centre. Bidding will end Oct. 31 and the winners of successful bids will OPEN be notified early November. HOUSE Bidders will be

expected to pick up banners before Dec. 15. The Summerland Community Arts Council is pleased to be sponsoring Jordan Bandixsen in the 2014 Blossom Pageant. It is the first time that the Arts Council has sponsored a candidate and we look forward to having this creative young woman represent our organization. ooo If you know of an event you feel should be included in the Arts Palette or on the Arts Council’s online calendar, please email: artspalette@
