A proposed lakeside pathway which began as a Summerland initiative has gained support from communities and organ-

izations throughout the Okanagan Valley. The pathway was originally presented as a route to connect the lakeside area of Summerland with Trout Creek.

The concept has grown as the project, now called the Trail of the Okanagans, would connect communities throughout the valley. Don Gemmell, who

presented the initial pathway proposal, said Kelowna’s city manager, Peachland’s administrator, a newly re-elected Penticton councillor and others have added their

The apple harvest is well under way in Summerland as Omar Christian, left, assists Summerland orchardist Ramesh Lekhi. Because of the difficulty in finding local help, Lekhi sponsors six Jamaican employees, housing them from June until November. He speaks highly of the workers, saying they are a big help to him. Christian said “it is a very good experience and I have learned a lot. We have nothing like this in Jamaica.”

Wine earns top honours by John Arendt

A Summerland wine has received international accolades with gold recognition at a recent awards ceremony. The 2008 Steller’s Jay Brut, a sparkling wine, was announced as a gold winner at the 2013 InterVin International Wine Awards. Steller’s Jay Brut was part of the Sumac Ridge Estate Wineries brand in the past, but this year

it became a stand-alone brand, although still produced through Sumac Ridge. The wine was one of two gold medal winners in a category of nearly 50 entries. Winemaker Jason Jay said the award is a high honour, since the best wines from around the world were included in the competition. “It’s always an honour to get that type of recognition,” he said. Craftsmanship has helped to

produce a good wine, he added. “We always try to make a really clean wine,” he said. “We haven’t changed the winemaking strategy. It’s still the traditional method. He said the harvest is done early in the season. A blend of pinot noir, chardonnay and pinot blanc grapes are used. In 2008, between 6,000 and 6,500 cases of the wine were produced.

support to the proposal. A steering group is already in place. It consists of representatives from the Summerland Chamber of Commerce, the Summerland Trans Canada Trail Society, the Summerland Rotary Club, the municipality, the Penticton Rotary Club, Penticton Economic Development, Penticton Tourism, the Okanagan Similkameen Parks Society and the Trout Creek Residents’ Association. Connie Denesiuk, chair of the steering committee, said the support for the initiative has ben impressive. The municipality of Summerland recently committed $20,000 to fund the engineered drawings for the first segment of the project. Other communities in the Okanagan have also joined in the efforts to create the pathway. “It’s been communitywide and inter-community,” Denesiuk said. “It’s surprising how quickly things are moving forward.” Because of the scope of the pathway project, representatives from around the Okanagan will be involved. “No one community can do this on their own,” Denesiuk said. The proposed pathway would be three metres wide wherever possible, allowing use by cyclists and pedestrians. It would follow the lakeshore, linking communities in the region. “It’s not just a sidewalk,” Gemmell said. “It’s a project about enhancing the enjoyment of the lakeshore and providing an environmentally responsible way of joining our communities.” He added that the trail could be a tourism driver for the region, but making it a reality will involve the cooperation of numerous organizations. “We have to think outside our silos,” he said. “It’s about selling the bigger picture.”

Concerns raised about cell tower Residents living near Little Conkle Mountain have raised their concerns about an additional antenna on a cellular tower near their homes. Speaking to municipal council on Tuesday evening, Jeremy Denegar, Summerland’s director of cor-

porate services, said the information about the additional antenna first came before municipal council in early March, but an open house was not held until Oct. 8. Because the matter is between two cellular service providers, the open house

Fall Is Upon Us! It looks like we have turned the corner into Fall. We have enjoyed a very nice September. While not everyone is a snow fanatic, we all enjoy the Okanagan for having a little taste of winter without the prairie-like temperatures. No matter what outdoor activity you enjoy, the fall and winter season is a time when everyone should take extra precautions when driving or traveling. Arriving safely is far more important than getting there quickly. Soon the roads are going to be getting icy and snow covered, so slow down and take that little extra time that will insure your safe arrival. If you are going to enjoy more spirited beverages this fall and winter, please take advantage of Designated Drivers and Taxis. We will all be better off for it.

directed to Industry Canada, not the municipality. “Everything is within the regulations,” he said. “It is an industry Canada matter.” Coun. Peter Waterman said he has received calls from residents of the area who thought the notice about the meet-

Summerland Review Thursday, October 17, 2013

Input still sought for growth plan by John Arendt Consultants and municipal representatives are continuing to gather data and comments for Summerland’s future growth strategy. On Oct. 10, another open house was held on the strategy. This time, instead of presenting three growth scenarios to the public, 13 areas of growth were shown. The public could then examine each of these areas individually and determine which ones should be identified as growth areas. In addition, an online tool is available to help residents

determine which areas they would like to see as growth areas, based on 10 criteria. Consultants from Sustainability Solutions Group will then analyze the data received and prepare a report summarizing the results. The report will be presented to council in the next three to four weeks. The final version of the growth strategy will be completed in March to June, 2014, said municipal planner Ian McIntosh. Throughout the process, McIntosh said efforts have been made to gather exten-

sive public input. “This is a way more involved process than we’ve ever done before,” he said. Initially, he wanted to receive input from at least 1,000 people. With the comments left following the last open house, around 1,500 people have participated. “Public engagement is a huge issue,” McIntosh said. “We really do want to know what the electorate thinks.” The consultation process for the growth strategy has been going on since January.

EDITORIAL

our pick

Following the pathway A proposed pathway which would provide a link between Okanagan communities has received interest from around the valley. The Trail of the Okanagans would provide pedestrians and cyclists with a safe route, beside the lake. It would also have significant benefits for the region’s tourism-related businesses. The Okanagan Valley is a significant tourism destination. Vacationers help to drive our economy. Any initiative which enhances the experience for visitors is worth considering. The support so far has been remarkable, but there are still some challenges involved. Dealing with numerous communities, regional districts, provincial constituencies and federal ridings means coordinating a lot of elected officials. It means the pathway is not just Summerland’s trail and not just Penticton’s trail. It benefits all. In addition, because of the proximity to Highway 97, the provincial Ministry of Highways would have a say in this trail. With the number of people involved, progress could move slowly. However, the slow pace could work to benefit the promoters of the trail. Because the pace is slow, it will allow those who may question its benefits at present to become familiar with the concept and eventually embrace it. Considering the amount of support for the project at present and the diversity of the people and organizations interested in the pathway, it is likely the work will go ahead with little if any opposition. The sooner the necessary agreements can be reached the sooner the work can begin. Then, once it is completed, the benefits should be easy to see as visitors come to the area to experience the pathway for themselves.

The recent gold medal designation for a Summerland wine should come as no surprise. W i n e s from the various Summerland wineries have been receiving recognition at numerous national and international competitions in recent years. While there has been an explosion in the number of B.C. wineries, the focus on quality will ensure Summerland wines will continue to stand out.

culls

‘Social justice’ as indoctrination VICTORIA – As the B.C. Teachers’ Federation executive moseys back to the bargaining table after a summer off, I’m reminded of former education minister George A b b o t t ’ s thoughts on his time trying to establish a civil discussion with the province’s most Tom Fletcher militant union. It started with a lecture. “In my first meeting with the BCTF, and I gather this is characteristic of all first meetings with education ministers, the TF advises that yes, they are a union, but first and foremost they are social activists and agents of social change,” Abbott recalled. Their buzzword is “social justice,” which is portrayed by leftists as superior to plain old justice, in ways that are seldom defined. So what exactly are the goals of this “social change”? Here’s some of what I’ve gleaned. Parents may recall the 2008 introduction of an elective high school course called Social Justice 12. This was mainly the result of intense protest by a couple of gay activist teachers, and the ministry curriculum describes its emphasis on inclusion of racial, cultural and sexual differences. That’s all good, and it’s now bolstered by urgently needed anti-bullying and empathy efforts at all grades. Then there

is the BCTF version. It’s not just a battle against “racism, homophobia and sexism” but also “poverty and globalization.” The BCTF has a quarterly “Social Justice Newsletter” filled with predictable economic assumptions. Readers of the latest issue are reminded at length that the United Nations takes a dim view of Canada’s record on human rights, including a right to housing. Undefined “poverty” statistics are cited, although Statistics Canada has nothing but incomplete relative measures. One article describes a social justice club for Grade 2 and 3 students, with activities that include collecting food bank donations and “writing to the premier asking for a systemic plan to address child poverty.” This rhetoric is taken directly from the NDP policy book. It rests on the myth that poverty is imposed by right-wing governments that refuse to double the minimum wage and pile more taxes on “the rich.” And what about that darned “globalization”? The BCTF still has a 2001 teaching guide on its website promoting the claim that Nike is uniquely guilty of making shoes and exercise gear in Third World sweatshops. Teachers are to instruct students how to organize a boycott of Nike, thus passing the received wisdom of campus radicalism to the next generation. This was all debunked years ago. Are Adidas, Reebok, Apple and Microsoft any dif-

ferent? Has nothing changed in 12 years? A quick web search will show this is a stale old tale with a convenient villain, to avoid complex questions. A BCTF official assures me this unit is being updated. Once that one is done, maybe they could check over their teaching unit on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal, another labour of the union’s “social justice” truth team. Entitled “What We Stand To Lose With Pipelines and Supertankers,” it boasts wildlife photos and “key sources” from the left (Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives) to the farleft fringe (Pipe Up Network). It is another protesters’ guide designed around a pre-determined viewpoint. BCTF bosses love to talk about the importance of “critical thinking.” These one-sided caricatures of Nike, Enbridge and other familiar villains seem designed to produce the opposite. They remind me of George Orwell’s classic novel 1984, where loyal party members are required to focus on selected enemies in a daily ritual called the Two Minutes Hate. Perhaps this is a clue to why our school system produces so many students lacking in employment skills and bursting with demands for governmentimposed wealth redistribution.

As temperatures continue to drop, it is time to remind motorists to prepare for winter driving conditions. Unfortunately, some of the behaviour observed this summer and fall raises concerns about potential winter accidents. There have been too many reports of impaired drivers and distracted motorists, and too many reports of accidents which seem preventable. When winter road conditions are added, even more care and attention is needed.

Benefits seen from Sister City program Dear Editor: I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Darlene Forsdick, Lorrie Forde and members of the Summerland Sister City Committee and the District of Summerland for all the

work and effort they have put into organizing and maintaining our relationship with Toyokoro Japan. A few years ago I was somewhat indifferent and maybe even a little skeptical about the value of having

a relationship with a city on the opposite side of the world. Last fall our daughter Adrianna, applied for and was successful in being selected as the Assistant English Teacher for our Sister City in Toyoko-

ro. At the end of June of this year she left for her new home. In September, I had the pleasure of traveling with a wonderful group of ambassadors from Summerland. We were treated

to a cultural experience and hospitality second to none. Even the stores had Canadian flags in their windows and a sign welcoming the Summerland delegation. I also had the opportunity to see Adrianna

in her new environment. She is surrounded by her new friends, her newly adopted grandfather and an entire community that really gets the value of the Sister City relationship. I have always thought I was open minded, but I guess sometimes I am guilty of becoming too comfortable in my own surroundings. My eyes have been opened as I participated in the opportunity of a lifetime and had the exposure to a society that is the model for respect, courtesy and working together for the benefit of

everyone. Thank you to the Sister City Committee and the District of Summerland for persevering and maintaining this wonderful relationship, in spite of indifference, adversity and scepticism including my own. When I think of the challenges of keeping a program like this going, I cannot help but think of a quote from Margaret Mead. “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” Tracey Marshall Summerland

Library need critical

Personable non-persons

Oct. 18 is National Persons Day, established to commemorate the day in 1929 when the British Privy Council ruled that women were “persons” under Canadian law. Since this photo was taken in 1914, these women, attending a meeting of the Women’s Institute, Okanagan District, technically weren’t persons. It’s probably a safe bet that there weren’t too many people, especially their husbands, who were brave enough to point that out to them, particularly as they were seated on the steps of the men’s club in Lowertown. The Women’s Institute, comprised at the time of “non-persons,” went on to provide services for “Home and Country” for many years. The Summerland Museum is the repository for the history of Women’s Institutes in all of B.C. and we are looking for more information on our own Summerland branch. Please contact the museum if you can help.

Dear Editor: Back in February 2000, the District of Summerland council meeting minutes state that the Summerland Library is 49 per cent smaller than it should be for a community of our size. Things have only gotten worse as the library building endures more wear and tear. The situation has been critical for a number of years now. We feel that any combination with largescale developments for

which no public funding exists will cause intolerable delay. The Friends of the Summerland Library are encouraging the ORL and the District of Summerland to find a location as soon as possible, either rented, leased, or purpose-built, that is large enough to give us the library we need, and that we taxpayers have long been paying for. Pat Flett, Friends of the Summerland Library Summerland

Community provided support and assistance Dear Editor: On Aug. 31 I lost my favourite person in this world, my best friend and the love of my life when Joe died of a heart attack. He was only 52. After phoning our children, Joe’s sister and my sister, I phoned Fred Steele, Joe’s best friend and my very dear friend as well. I was devastated and in shock. Joe and I were only days away from the start of our apple harvest when he died. I hadn’t even considered the crop when I phoned Fred and

when he asked me about it I told him that it could drop on the ground. I simply didn’t have the strength to care. Fred reminded me (quite rightly) that Joe would care and took the initiative to phone the people that needed to be contacted, like Glen Lucas from the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association. Fred, Glen, the packinghouse and the field service then set in motion a plan to help me with the harvest of Joe’s last apple crop. Steve Brown, our local field man organized a

meeting of growers who wanted to help. Erin Carlson stepped forward at that meeting and volunteered to organize the workers who would come to our orchard to harvest the crop. Denise MacDonald was there to help organize the pickers and also to organize the luncheon (sponsored by the BCFGA) following Joe’s funeral. So many details of that funeral were handled by Denise on behalf of the BCFGA. The next morning, the

pickers arrived to begin harvesting the crop. They included growers, nongrowers who knew Joe, including several members of the Apple Valley Cruisers (a car club in Summerland which Joe had recently joined) and growers’ pickers. All of this at a time of year when growers are very busy and need every picker that they have – but they were willing to share them so that our crop could be harvested in a timely fashion. There have been many more offers from people who have never strapped

on a picking bag or climbed an orchard ladder – but who genuinely want to offer their help in any way that they can. To all these people and so many more who have stepped forward – I thank you. I don’t know what I would have done without your help and support. And to my neighbour, Joe Schmuck, a mere thank you is not enough. Joe has taken over so many of the jobs that were my Joe’s. He hauls all the fruit into the packinghouse, mowed the orchard so that the crop could be

Wharton property should not be sold museum leased storage facilities, at a cost of $3,300 per year. Now the museum is using the basement of the new RCMP building for storage and the need for additional space is no longer required. In fact once the museum’s remaining storage room is emptied, there may be enough room in the museum to expand to add a much needed classroom. Lack of museum space has been resolved. Secondly, the Wharton Street pro-

posal was a PublicPrivate-Partnership whereby Summerland transfers ownership of our lands to the developer in exchange for construction costs for a new museum/ library/cultural centre. The editorial states “the need for housing units.” If the goal of our community is to densify the downtown core, one does not do that by selling off municipal lands. As a rule, densification is encour-

aged by modifying development costs and requirements on privately owned lands. Municipalities don’t sell off publicly owned lands, at the very centre of a community, at reduced prices. In fact, as densification increases, there is increased need for preservation of public open spaces. When the concept of selling municipal lands was first proposed, I challenged municipal staff to provide council with

an example of one other B.C. community that sold the centre of the community to a developer. After seven years, staff have not found a similar example. This is echoed in the land appraisal. The appraiser could not find a comparable example of a property at the very

core of a community. Also the appraiser could not find a comparable property of similar zoning and especially of similar density of development. If the idea of selling land in the centre of Summerland is ever reconsidered, let’s have a referendum.

The public will be clearly informed about how much money we are getting for the sale of our land and the public will see the completed appearance of the entire project, not just one building, as was the case in this latest proposal. David E. Gregory Summerland

Revolution resulted in lower power bills Dear Editor: I read with interest the letter from Henry Sielmann regarding Electromotion Energy Corporation and their request for an electricity policy. He references studies and quotes numbers suggesting the Revolution heating/cooling/hot water/electrical generation unit is somehow inefficient and overly expensive. I didn’t follow all of his explanation but I did get his assertion that having the revolution provide all his electricity would likely be much more expensive. I admit it takes a while to get your mind around how the revolution works, as it is truly “out of the box” thinking...and it isn’t intended to provide all your electricity. I can tell you, as a Revolution owner, that I would much rather have a gas furnace that creates electricity, than one that doesn’t. My total natural gas usage in 2010, before the Revolution was installed, was 121.2 gigajoules. My total usage in 2012 was 118.8 gigajoules. My total electrical usage in 2010 (before Revolution) was 17,243

KwH…2012 was 20,836 KwH. Given that changes in weather affect energy consumption, I take that to mean my gas and electrical usage is basically the same pre Revolution and post Revolution. I did complain to the Revolution inventor that I thought my electrical bills should be less. I complained so much that we agreed to experiment by turning off the generator at the end of January to see what it would do to my electrical bill. My February bill went up $92! I don’t complain any more. I should note that I keep the house three degrees warmer than I did pre Revolution and my house only scored 41 out of 100 on the efficiency scale. My computer tells me that a three degree increase in house temperature requires almost 30 per cent more energy at my house. I cannot refute Mr. Sielmann’s facts but I can tell you how the Revolution works at my house… Great! And I’m looking forward to the new version being installed at my house this month.

Dear Editor: The Summerland Review’s Sept. 26 editorial discussed the Wharton Street development. There are portions of that editorial that I strongly disagree with. Firstly, it stated “the library and the museum are both in desperate need of new and larger facilities.” With respect to the museum, this statement was once true but no longer the case. In the past, the

Paying tribute to entrepreneurs Last week Chamber staff had the opportunity to attend the Economic Gardening Conference. Sponsored by organizations such as Community Futures, UBC, the B.C. Chamber of Commerce and the Business Development Bank of Canada, the conference brought together economic development professionals from across North America. What is Economic Gardening? Well, it’s not about gardens. According to the Canadian Institute for Economic Gardening it’s a concept that takes an entrepreneurial approach to regional prosperity. Often referred to as a “grow from within” strategy, it helps existing companies within a community grow larger. In contrast to traditional business assistance, economic gardening focuses on strategic growth chal-

Chamber Corner

Christine Petkau lenges, such as developing new markets, refining business models and gaining access to competitive intelligence. Business leaders from many regions spoke on changing and challenging economic trends, data mining, the new currency of information, staff selection and retention and competitive strategies in a global market. It was an amazing group of speakers and the time flew by. In order to share the information, the speakers have made their power point

presentations available on-line so if you are interested, go to c2eg.com and check the 2013 conference tab. The first speaker, Tammie Nemecek from Grow Florida, asked all the entrepreneurs in the audience to stand and then played a short video reminding us of their importance in our economy. Please visit the Chamber’s blog to see the actual video as it’s even better set to music! Here’s what the video said. Entrepreneurs are people with a single brilliant idea. They are thinkers, doers and innovators.

Entrepreneurs change the way we think about what is possible. They have a clear vision of how life can be better for all of us. Even when times are tough and there are obstacles and turbulence, entrepreneurs create opportunities for success and achievement. They push us to discover new ways of doing things. Risk itself is not the reward. The rewards are driving innovation, changing people’s lives, creating jobs, fuelling growth and making a better world. Entrepreneurs are everywhere.

They run small businesses that support our economy and find new ways to solve old problems. They can be any one of us! Hail, entrepreneur, indeed! The Chamber is holding a variety of events to celebrate

Small Business Week in Canada. These inspirational and learning opportunities are available to everyone in the community from Oct. 22 to 25 and details are available at the Chamber website: www.summerlandchamber.com . We always appre-

ciate your feedback. Please contact me at manager@summerlandchamber.com or our chamber president, Arlene Fenrich, at president@summ e r l a n d c h a m b e r. com. Christine Petkau is the manager of the Summerland Chamber of Commerce.

Artist focuses on creating cartoons by Carla McLeod Special to the Review

Drawing cartoons

Join us for a FREE weekend workshop for

Reuben Scott, a Grade 11 student at Summerland Secondary School, hopes to have his work in syndication in the future.

ADULTS WITH AGING LOVED ONES

He has been drawing since he was in diapers. Reuben Scott, a Grade 11 student at Summerland Secondary School, draws cartoons as a hobby with the goal of having a syndicated comic strip or panel one day. Like every artist, his work has evolved over time. He also has had several ideas which he has since abandoned. One such idea was to do a high school satire comic strip based on Summerland Secondary. Although he has other interests, such as two dimensional animations, his main focus now is on drawing cartoons on one rectangular panel, like The Far Side or Bizzarro. “Some of my best work in my opinion are these gag panels.” Scott said. In an attempt to get his work noticed he

has used a Facebook page called Reuben’s Comics. He has also tried blogging and has thought of getting his own website. He may have an opportunity to show his work in the school yearbook. This year’s theme is comic books and the school will give artists like Scott one page each to showcase their talent. Scott says his own self advice is to “take everything with a grain of salt.” He doesn’t want to stress about anything. “I take everything lightly,” he said “It helps me keep a sense

of humour.” He plans to focus on the arts for his post-secondary schooling. He says it annoys him when people advise against taking up the arts, saying there is no money in it. “You have to be happy,” he said. “Even if I end up on the street and all I have is a paper to draw on and people can see it, I’ll be happy.” The thing Scott enjoys the most is people’s reaction to his work. “People bend over and laugh, they laugh out loud! That’s huge for me,” he said.

A lighter perspective

Reuben Scott’s sense of humour shows in his single-panel cartoons.

Summerland Review Thursday, October 17, 2013

www.summerlandreview.com 9

Many differences observed in Japan Greetings from Toyokoro, Hokkaido, Japan! My name is Anna Marshall, and I am currently living and teaching in Toyokoro, Summerland’s Sister City. For the past eight years, I have lived, worked and gone to school in Summerland. During those eight years, I have taken the opportunity to travel at every given opportunity. I’ve always been drawn to different cultures, and the fact that at the core of everything we are all the same; that has inspired me to have a nomadic lifestyle. Last October, I was offered a position to teach English over-

seas in Japan. I was more than thrilled to accept this job, and now here I am. I am now away for the next year or more to teach English in the little town of Toyokoro at the junior high, elementary, and Kindergarten with adult classes one evening a week. During my three months here, I have started to settle in as the euphoria of being in a new country wears off. When I first arrived, I was really shocked about the similarities between Canadian and Hokkaido’s landscape and wildlife. For those of you unaware, Hokkaido is the northernmost

island in Japan. Toyokoro is nestled between the Hidaka Mountain Range and the Pacific Ocean, so it keeps a cool temperature all year. Many people tend to think tropical when they think Japan, but that is sincerely not the case up here in Hokkaido. During the heat of the summer, and days when it’s not raining, Toyokoro rarely gets past 25 degrees, but with the humidity, it makes it feel much hotter. Hokkaido winters are famous for their brutal dry cold, and fresh powder snow, and I have yet to experience this. Even though the looks are similar, the

feel is undeniably different from Canada. Every day there is something that shatters the Canadian backdrop illusion, but it`s definitely in a good way! The Japanese priority system is quite different from that of Canada`s for one thing. Ceremonies, formalities, and hospitality are placed at a very high importance. My first day here, I was caught off guard by the Japanese hospitality or as they call it, omotenashi. I had first hand experience of this from the moment I arrived here. I went from meeting three men at the airport to arriving home and

finding six more men in my house, waiting to greet me. That same day, one family gave a plethora of assorted gifts from cups to bottles of wine to crystal trays to me. The next day I went through very similar treatment. I also went through my first Japanese ceremony experience the next day. My first full day here I was astounded by all of the little formalities, and to be honest, a little confused. From the bows, to the different greeting formalities, it was all a bit overwhelming. Before going anywhere, I had to meet, have coffee, and receive my official contract from the mayor, in front of many of the city workers and sister city members. I went through a similar procedure for

Notes from toyokoro

Anna Marshall each of the five other places I was required to visit on my first day. This, coupled with welcome parties thrown by each of my belonging establishments, made me feel incredibly wanted, and appreciated. Each welcome party was on a different scale from casual to very formal, but they still had the same air of hierarchy and tradition. Some unique things about going out in Japan are, you

cannot pour your own drink, and you cannot start eating until everyone receives food wherein then everyone says itadakimasu. At the end of these parties they do something called a “big clap” where the most important host (mayor, chairman...etc) makes a speech then everyone together says “yo!”, and does one in sync clap. I think you can read everything about a specific culture, but no matter what, the reality will always catch you off guard when you get there. That is really my first impression of Japan: hospitality and ceremonies. Thanks for reading! Anna Marshall is in Summerland’s Sister City of Toyokoro, Japan as the assistant English teacher.

Book signing

Carla McLeod Special to the Summerland Review

Historian and author Sherril Foster signs a copy of her new book, A Steady Lens, for Donna Graham. Foster was at the Kettle Valley Steam Railway Prairie Valley Station on Saturday, to launch her book. It reveals the true Mary Spencer story. Foster wrote the book, because she felt the photographer never got the recognition she deserved. In 1906 Spencer photographed some of the most notorious images ever taken in B.C., including the mug shots of Bill Miner and his gang. She later chose fruit growing as a vocation and settled with her sister in Summerland. Their stone house is still standing.

Veteran performers to share stage It will be a blending of musical styles at the Contenders, Valdy and Gary Fjellgaard perform in Summerland later this month as part of an Okanagan tour. This is the 13th year the two of them have been performing together. “I think we’re just continuing with a tradition here,” Fjell-

gaard said. “We just seem to have more energy as the years go by.” The two veteran performers bring vastly different musical styles to the stage. Valdy is a folk performer while Fjellgaard is a country and roots music performer. “We’re complete

opposites with the music,” Fjellgaard said. While the two continue to perform new music each year, Fjellgaard said he will perform some of his older songs which some in the audience have not heard before. One of the songs, Rock and Roll Dreams, was writ-

ten many years ago but still describes his relationship with his music. The Summerland concert is at Centre Stage Theatre on Sunday, Oct. 27 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at Martin’s Flowers in Summerland and at The Dragon’s Den in Penticton.

I have memories of my grandmother taking her dentures out to clean. As a child I had the idea that this was inevitable and that one day I would need to take my teeth out like grandma did. Luckily that is not that case! And even luckier is that we can now make dentures a great option because implants can help to secure them. We have options today that my grandmother never had the opportunity to enjoy forty years ago. Implants can help to fix your teeth in place to help you enjoy your food and have confidence to smile again. They can look very natural and in some cases can give your face and lips support that teeth alone cannot--almost like a facelift without having surgery. Of course you can get lip support with traditional dentures as well. However, traditional dentures rely on suction over the roof of your mouth and muscles to keep them in place. They are always going to be moving and some people are able to adapt to them and control them very well, others are not. Although my grandma lived a very fulfilled life, if she were still with us I would certainly recommend implants to help support her dentures. Whether you have dentures and would like to upgrade to implants to help secure them, or are in need of major work that might involve something that comes out at night, give implant assisted “removable teeth” a good look. Should you have any questions about this or like to book an appointment, please contact the Jubilee Dental Centre at 250-494-8545. We are always accepting new patients!

Meeting the Steam

Carla McLeod Special to the Summerland Review

Members of the Summerland Steam hockey club, were at the Summerland IGA on Saturday, helping to bag groceries. They were also handing out game schedules and the occasional free ticket. Captain Jordan Boultbee said they were trying to get some exposure and create awareness for the team in the community. Also on display was a 2014 GMC Sierra truck donated by Murray G.M. Every home game, two people in attendance will have their names drawn for a chance to shoot and score from the blue line. A final draw will be made at the last game of the season.

Steam lose three games The Summerland Steam finished the week with three losses in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League action. On Oct. 8, the Steam hosted the Osoyoos Coyotes, playing to a 5-3 loss. After two Osoyoos goals in the first period, Jordan Boultbee scored for the Steam at 8:35 with assists from Paulsen Lautard and Kienan Scott. In the second period, a Steam goal by Cooper Holic, with the assist by Braden Saretsky, brought the game to a tie. Osoyoos then answered with a power play goal. Two more Osoyoos goals in the

third period sealed the lead for the Coyotes. The Steam had the final goal of the game with a power play by Lautard at 2:53, with assists by Scott and Daylan Robertson. On Friday, the Steam hosted the Chiefs in a 3-2 loss. The Chiefs had the sole goal in the first period. In the second period, Olli Dickson of the Steam scored at 6:08. Assists were by Michael Winnitoy and Saretsky. After two Kelowna goals in the third period, the Steam added one more goal with 32 seconds remaining. Saretsky had the goal, with assists by Dickson and Josh DaCosta.

On Sunday, the Steam travelled to Osoyoos to face the Coyotes once more. The game ended in a 3-2 decision for Osoyoos. After a power play goal by the Coyotes in the first period, Easton Bodeux of the Steam scored at 10:27, with assists by Lautard and Scott. The Coyotes added another goal in the first period and one in the second to take the lead. In the third period, Ryan Donaldson of the Steam scored on a power play at 3:46, with assists by Austin Lee and Bodeux. The Coyotes scored on an empty net with 55 seconds remain to clinch the win.

Midget Reps lose against Winfield On Oct. 13, the Nesters Summerland Midget Reps took on Winfield in a fast paced, hard hitting match. Summerland scored 55 seconds into the first on a goal by Spencer Miller, assisted by Jacob Lusted and Dakota Deane.

Winfield evened up the score at 13:38 of the first and later went ahead 3-1. Summerland came back to tie it at 3 when Lusted scored from Miller and Jordan Johnson and Austin from Aiden Mcklusky to end the first. Summerland came

out in the second to go ahead 4-3 when Lusted netted his second goal of the afternoon then Winfield answered back three times to put them ahead after the second 6-4. In the third period at 15:22 Lusted netted his hat trick with

some great passing from Seth Morgan and Spencer Miller. Once again Winfield answered back but Summerland kept clawing back when Jordan Johnson put them within one with 4:17 left in the third. Summerland hit the post at the end,

resulting in a 7-6 decision for Winfield. Nesters Summerland Jets have the week to get ready for a big weekend of action as they will be hosting the Sam Hanon Tier 3 Midget Rep home tournament Oct. 18 to 20.

Bantams win at home The Summerland Bantam House hockey team’s winning streak continued this weekend with a win on home ice against Kelowna. Sean Wilson opened the first period with two goals, Brett Wilson scored a beauty of a top shelf goal and Remy Houde retrieved his own rebound to get the fourth goal. In the second period

Houde scored the next two goals for his first hat-trick of the season. Kade Kozak scored three shots in a row for his first hat-trick of the year. The third period slaughter continued with another goal by Houde, and a clean shot by Dawson Handfield for a final score of 11-4. The Bantam team’s next game is Oct. 19 at CNC in Kelowna.

Because new cars have become so expensive, more and more vehicle owners are looking for ways to extend the life of their vehicles. The longer a car can stay on the road, the better an investment that vehicle becomes. Fortunately, there are several steps vehicle owners can take that should ensure their vehicles stay on the road for years to come. • Scale back on short trips. • Stick to the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule. • Pay attention to brake pads. • Keep your tires properly inflated. • Use good fuel to extend the life of your engine.
