Smokers at Summerland’s beaches will have to go elsewhere for a nicotine fix. On Monday, municipal council adopted a no smoking policy for the community’s beaches. The municipality’s Parks and Recreation Commission recommended the policy, which follows similar policies at other Okanagan communities. Signs will be set up at Crescent Beach, Peach Orchard Beach, Rotary Beach and Powell Beach. The cost of putting up one sign at Crescent Beach and two signs at the other three beaches is estimated at $500. Coun. Martin Van

Smoking banned at beaches by John Arendt

Artistic vision

INCLUDING

Alphen, who is a smoker, moved the resolution. “I think it’s fabulous,” he said. “This is common sense.” Members of council would like to add municipal parks in the future. Coun. Peter Waterman said including parks would help since fire is a concern on Giant’s Head Mountain in summer. In August, 1996, a fire on the mountain charred trees and threatened homes in the surrounding area. Earlier in the evening, a delegation of thirdyear nursing students asked council to create a no smoking bylaw for all city-managed properties, including beaches, parks and trails.

Halloween treats

Witch Michelle Gagnon serves up disgusting treats at the Halloween Haunt, held at the Aquatic Centre on Saturday night.

Testing for a recently developed electrical power producing unit will soon begin now that 10 of the devices can be connected to the electrical power grid in Summerland. On Monday evening, council authorized an agreement with ElectroMotion Energy to connect up to 10 of the Revolution power supply units at residences within Summerland. The Revolution combines residential heating, cooling, hot water and backup electrical systems into one unit. Surplus electricity is produced because of the efficiencies which result from the combined system. This electricity can be fed back into the elec-

trical grid, thus reducing the amount of power FortisBC must supply for Summerland. For the past two years, since installing the first Revolution unit at a Summerland home, Zachary has been promoting and refining the concept. “I commend you for what you have done so far,” Coun. Lloyd Christopherson said.”I’m starting to understand some of the basics of it.” Coun. Peter Waterman said there are exciting opportunities for Summerland as the unit gains popularity. Municipal administrator Tom Day said this is the third time Zachary has presented his request to council, refining it each time. “I think there’s a real opportunity for this,” he said.

Scheduled transit service begins by John Arendt After years of waiting and planning, Summerland’s scheduled transit service began quietly on Monday morning. A total of 14 people, including members of municipal council, commuters and those interested in the new service, were on the 20-passenger bus. The bus left Summerland Library at 7:15 a.m. and followed a loop through town with a stop in Trout Creek. It arrived at Cherry Lane Shopping Centre in Penticton by 8 a.m. “This is a big move forward for Summerland,” said Mayor Janice Perrino. “It will really assist people who live in Summerland but need to commute to activities.” She said youths, commuters and seniors, especially those with medical appointments, will

be among the first regular users of the service. Perrino campaigned for a transit service in Summerland when she ran for municipal council in 1999. When the road upgrades on Rosedale Avenue and a portion of Prairie Valley Road were completed early in 2011, the work included bus shelters and pullouts. Until Monday, the bus shelters on Rosedale Avenue had only been used by Summerland Secondary School students. The scheduled service provides a bus between Summerland and Penticton four times a day, Monday to Friday. The first bus leaving Summerland is at 7:15 a.m. and the last one leaves at 4:30 p.m. From Penticton, the first bus to Summerland leaves Cherry Lane Shopping Centre at 8:05

Riding the bus

Passengers waited in the darkness as the first transit bus arrived across the street from the Summerland Library on Monday morning. The new service provides rides to Penticton four times a day Monday to Friday. Evening and weekend service has been suggested for the future.

a.m. and the last one leaves at 5:15 p.m. The transit stops throughout the community are clearly marked with signs and with red curbs. There are 10 stops in Summerland, with eight in the core of the community and two in Trout Creek. Only four of the stops are timed stops. At a timed stop, the driver will stop at a set time and wait to pick up passengers. At the untimed

stops, the bus will not stop unless there are passengers waiting or unless a passenger has requested to get off. The timed stops are identified on the rider guide. Service between Penticton and Summerland is free for the remainder of this year. In 2014, the fee will be $2 for a trip within Summerland and $4 for a trip to Penticton. Monthly transit

passes and student or senior discounts may be offered when the rates are set in place. A rider guide, including a route map and schedule, is available at municipal hall, the Summerland Library and other locations around the community. Transit information is available online at http://www.bctransit.com/regions/ sum/schedules/ map.cfm?line=1&v=u

A "good guy" hacker broke into a website which had been used by various bad guys for trading malicious software (malware) and stolen credit card numbers. The "good guy" collected a list of the registered users and published their email addresses. This is of course the last thing the bad guys ever want to happen. The site was called pakbugs.com and at last report was no longer functioning. With more and more people using the Internet and computers in general, malware is becoming a very big problem.

EDITORIAL

our pick

Clearing the smoke At first glance, a policy prohibiting smoking at Summerland’s beaches seems like a good idea. The vast majority of British Columbians — six out of seven people — are nonsmokers and most of those do not wish to be exposed to secondhand smoke when they are at a beach. For those who have asthma, other respiratory complications, allergies or a heightened sensitivity to tobacco, a smoke-free beach is welcome. The policy adopted for Summerland’s beaches would also be applauded if it applied to parks and trails within the community. The no smoking policy at the beaches is simply an extension of earlier policies. Many public buildings are now smoke-free in British Columbia. One no longer can dine in the smoking section of a restaurant. Bar patrons must step outside when they want a cigarette break. Employees at many businesses must leave the office to light up. The precedents have been set. The health risks associated with smoking are known. Education about the dangers of tobacco use have been in place for many years. The anti-smoking messages take up considerable space on each package of cigarettes. And some have watched family members or friends struggle with health problems or die prematurely as a result of this addiction. At the same time, as Coun. Lloyd Christopherson has pointed out, cigarettes are legally sold in Canada. A much stronger message could be sent simply by banning the sale of tobacco products entirely. While some may see this as a measure akin to prohibition, it should be noted that other products have been pulled from the shelves in the past because of health concerns. Until that happens, a no smoking policy at beaches will not go far enough.

After many years of waiting, a scheduled transit service is now in place between Summerland and Penticton. The service was well used during its first rides on Monday. Whether this level of activity continues is up to the people of Summerland. If the Monday to Friday daytime service proves popular, it is likely the service will expand to include weekend and evening buses in the future.

bad Perils of an ‘entitlement state’ apples VICTORIA – With the B.C. and federal governments once again struggling to climb out of deep operating deficits, it’s a good time for the release of Mark Milke’s book Tax Me, I’m Canadian. An update of the same title published 12 years ago, the book retains the history of taxes in Canada, detailing how Can- Tom Fletcher ada’s tax system was initially built to mimic the United States system in the late 19th century. Beyond the history, it is mostly new material. Included are chapters on the global meltdown of 2009, the surge of pension liabilities as the baby boomers retire and the flawed logic behind the “Occupy” and “Idle No More” protests. Some readers will immediately note that Milke works for the Fraser Institute and was previously B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation. But the book is not just an argument for cutting taxes. It also dismantles persistent myths that income taxes are illegal, and launches a broadside on what Milke calls “Canada’s corporate welfare carnival.” Many people will be able to identify some top names in the government subsidy game: Bombardier, General Motors, even poor old Rolls Royce Canada. Some will also be well aware

that our supposedly tight-fisted Conservative federal government has continued to pour out “regional development” and other funds to every part of the country. But I did not know that Industry Canada grants were handed out to pizza parlours (including the remote pizzastarved village of Kamloops), or to help open gas stations or convenience stores in Kelowna, Vernon and Chilliwack. Milke makes a useful point for B.C. about royalty rates for timber, natural gas and other resources. They are resource rents, and if they are too high the tenants will move out. Reducing them isn’t a subsidy, especially if it leads to big revenue gains as B.C.’s unconventional shale gas incentives have done. On the Occupy movement: The infamous “one per cent,” who in Canada earn $250,000 a year or more, earned 10 per cent of all income and paid 20 per cent of all taxes in 2010. The bottom 73 per cent of tax filers paid just 17 per cent of all taxes. About a third paid no tax at all. On Idle No More: When Attawapiskat Chief Teresa Spence played to the Ottawa media with her soup strike, former Liberal leader Bob Rae suggested a nearby diamond mine should share more revenue. Milke omits the substantial support and employment that mine provides, and glosses over the misguided blockades that disrupted that and other

job-creating enterprises. But he does detail the disastrous effects of passive resource wealth bestowed on impoverished aboriginal communities, and contrasts it with the success stories of reserves that build their own enterprises through hard work. On public sector pensions: Milke notes that historically, public employees traded higher wages for better benefits and job security. Now their wages are generally higher, and taxpayers have to cover their personal pension contributions (as a portion of those wages) as well as the employer contributions, plus the “defined benefit” payout, which has to be subsidized far beyond what the pension fund can support. On the debt-financed welfare state, there are memorable observations, like this one: “For the record, the generous Quebec welfare state and its ostensibly more progressive model are paid for in part with the taxes of other Canadians; Quebec is merely the North American equivalent of Greece.” The recent B.C. political crisis over adoption of the harmonized sales tax showed that there is too much emotion and too little knowledge about how taxes work. This book is a step towards addressing that. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalNews. com. Twitter:@tomfletcherbc E-mail: tfletcher@blackpress. ca

After the numerous announcements and warnings about the dangers of leaving garbage and recyclables outside overnight, too many Summerlanders continue this practice. We have had bear encounters and other wildlife in Summerland several times over the past year. The scents from the garbage will serve as an attractant. In order to prevent a nuisance wildlife problem, it is up to all of us to use a bit of common sense.

Harper neglecting issues at home

Dear Editor: I have been very upset with some of the developments by Prime Minister Stephen Harper. I know he loves flitting around the world as a leader-fig-

ure, but he is seriously neglecting things in Canada. It was noble of him to chide Sri Lanka regarding human rights, but we in Canada have dire needs regarding Aborig-

inal/First Nations treatment. The poverty, terrible living conditions and high suicide rates bespeak of a huge neglect of some of our citizens. Indian women have

always been given second-class treatment. The police have a very sorry record of this. Where are the scientists to oversee and do research on water, fishery and environ-

mental needs? It is truly disgusting to spend $1 billion on a new “secret” building and not be able to fund valuable and needed research. Fracking uses large amounts of water and

pollutes it all. Do we have people to check what the mining companies are doing to purify the water which, untreated, is poison to all life? This is an enormous concern.

The early years

A frightening spectacle

Photo courtesy of the Summerland Museum

What’s really scary is that these guys aren’t celebrating Halloween, they’re about to throw stones at each other—curling stones, that is. We don’t know who they are (they probably wouldn’t want to be identified if we did) and we’re not quite sure of the year, but if you know anything about this photo, the staff at the Summerland Museum would like to hear from you. Have a safe and happy Halloween.

Observations from Canadian politics Dear Editor: See these Conservatives, how they love one another. Hear these pithy questions from the Opposition. 1. “How many is a few?” Regarding how many people knew about a cheque

for Sen. Mike Duffy. 2. “How is that going?” Regarding the Conservative Party’s vow to reform or abolish the Senate. Watch the Conservative National Convention next weekend. Dick Clements Summerland

The new navigation rules, conveniently hidden in the omnibus budget, will cause changes over the whole country. Why not be honest and debate such topics openly and separately? Get rid of sleazy senators like Mike Duffy and such. Where is the promise of an elected senate? Defence spending is wacky — $22 million for designs? The coast helicopters must be replaced. It is criminal to have pilots fly the old ones. Have you seen Minister Clement’s “lake?” That kind of extravagance has no place in a properly run government. How much is spent on unnecessary limos, security and other perks? Prime Minister Harper ’s personal security and travel costs must be enough to fund several scientists, or do you know the cost? Trades training should be funded for a longer term, with provincial and company cooperation. Parliament should meet with longer time lines. Proroguing has become a way of life for the Prime Minister. It is undemocratic and reflects badly on his whole attitude. Sheila White Summerland

A salute to Okanagan foster parents Dear Editor: Foster parents you are a special breed! It takes a combination of love, care, firmness, boundaries, structure, nurture, forgiveness, compassion and toughness to meet the needs of our children in care. You open your homes, hearts and

families to children that have complex issues, and special needs, this takes people like you with courage, determination, patience, empathy and strength. The Okanagan Foster Parents Association would like to express gratitude for your warmth

and compassion. We also encourage you to pat yourselves on the back. The work done on a day to day basis by you the foster parents is invaluable, upstanding and often unacknowledged. This month brings recognition to all foster parents for your

$500,000 legacy fund established $500,000 set up to establish new intiative

The Summerland Charity Shops Society members present a $500,000 cheque to the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan Similkameen for the Penny Lane Community Legacy Fund. Pictured left to right are Scott Boswell, director; Susan Kelly, President of the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan Similkameen; Orv Robson, president of Summerland Charity Shops Society; Bruce Hallquist, director; Patrick Bell, director and Rick Thorpe, director.

A new Penny Lane Community Fund, with an initial commitment of $500,000, has been created by the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan and the Summerland Charity Shops Society. Over the past 11 years, the Summerland Charity Shops Society, operating the Penny Lane Bargain Outlet in Summerland, contributed more than $2 million to youth organizations in Summerland and the rest of the region. Penny Lane began in 2002 with the commitment of the six founders, the late Art Sewell, Ellen Lloyd, Orv Robson, Bruce Hallquist, Allan Fabbi, and Scott Boswell. In the beginning the hope and vision of the board, and in particu-

lar Art Sewell, was that Penny Lane would be able to assist the youth of Summerland and South Okanagan for 10 to 15 years with the end goal being to create a lasting legacy fund. The current directors, including Rick Thorpe who replaced Sewell, remain passionate about giving back to the community and are committed to continuing support of youth related programs. “Circumstances beyond our control forced the closure of the Penny Lane store,” said Orv Robson, chair of the Summerland Charity Shops Society. “With the creation of the Penny Lane Community Legacy Fund, we will be able to continue to support the youth in Summerland and the South Okanagan.” With an initial gift to the Community Founda-

tion of $500,000, the new Penny Lane Community Legacy Fund is a significant step for both the Community Foundation and the youth programs which will be supported with this Fund. “The Community Foundation is honoured to have earned the confidence of the Summerland Charity Shops Society,”said Susan Kelly, president of the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan Similkameen. “They have had incredible success over the years and have made amazing contributions to the community. The Community Foundation is absolutely committed to fulfilling Penny Lane‘s mandate and vision for this Fund and we look forward to perpetuating the impact of the Penny Lane Community Legacy Fund for the benefit of our youth.”

Summerland Review Thursday, October 31, 2013

Units would reduce power use by John Arendt Household electrical power producing units could greatly reduce the amount of electrical power the community needs to purchase from FortisBC, Jai Zachary says. Zachary, the head of ElectroMotion Energy Corporation, said his company’s unit, the Revolution, not only saves energy for the householder but generates more than enough electricity to meet the householder ’s needs. “When we generate electricity at a home, that means we’re not asking for it from the grid,” he said. The Revolution combines household heating, cooling, hot water and backup electrical systems into one unit. Surplus electricity from the unit is fed back into the electrical grid, where it can supplement the power coming in from FortisBC. Zachary said each Revolution unit in operation can produce as much power as three homes would require. This means 10 Revolution units would generate the amount of electrical power used by 30 houses. If 1,000 Revolution units were in place, enough power would

be generated to meet the electrical needs of all single family homes in the com-

munity. The municipality purchases electrical power from FortisBC

and sells it to power consumers within the community. Lorrie Coates, dir-

ector of finance for the municipality said Summerland spent $6,713,900 on electricity purchases from FortisBC in 2012. From January to the end of September of this year, Summerland has spent $5,044,263 on electricity. “It’s definitely a significant cost,” Coates said. The first Revolution unit in Summerland was installed in the fall of 2011. During a power outage the next year, the house continued to have electricity, even though other homes were in the dark for the day. Zachary has since modified the design of the original unit. One model, designed for use in the Arctic, can function in up to 2.4 metres of snow. Zachary said he has received interest from the Northwest Territories government. Testing of the unit is now needed to determine how it will work in real-life conditions. “So far, our tests are very promising and encouraging,” Zachary said. The testing will now take place in Summerland as permission has been given to have 10 Revolution units connected to the electrical grid.

Ask Your Dentist...

I have a CPAP and I don’t like it. I can never wear it the entire night and some nights I don’t wear it at all. I know there Dr. Cindee Melashenko is a dental treatment option, can you tell me more about it? - Anonymous.

A: You are not alone!

Some people can adapt to sleeping with a CPAP machine, but there are a lot of people that simply can’t tolerate it, for many reasons. Getting a quality nightly sleep is very important so if you cannot wear your CPAP, I am so glad that you are seeking help. In dentistry we offer a medical orthodontic appliance as an alternative to the CPAP machine. It is designed to move your lower jaw forward to allow you to breath better at night. If you already have a CPAP machine, that means you have been diagnosed with “sleep apnea” by your medical doctor. Your dentist will take a couple of impressions of your teeth and then an appliance can be made. Your dentist can then test how much better your breathing and sleep patterns are with the new appliance. As with anything new, it may take a few weeks to get used to, but most of my patients find their appliance much more comfortable than the CPAP machine and notice the improvements in their quality of sleep very quickly. 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!

CounCil report The regular meeting of municipal council was held on Oct. 28 in council chambers. The mayor and all council members were present.

Resource options study received

Council received the 72-page Resource Options Study, prepared by Midgard Consulting Inc. The report examined options for the municipality to pursue for self-generated electricity. While the options in the report are all possible, the executive summary stated that none are as attractive as the present arrangement of purchasing electricity from FortisBC under the existing agreement. The wholesale rates from FortisBC are low compared to the costs of new sources of electrical energy. Even with anticipated increases to FortisBC’s rates, the cost gap will not be closed. “None of the analyzed utility generation options compare favourably when evaluated against the existing FortisBC energy purchase contract,” the report stated.

Gravel study received

The Curling Club also works in partnership with the Parks and Recreation Department, providing 50 per cent of the funds needed for many of the capital projects at the curling rink. The northwest corner of Victoria Road and Prairie Valley Road will be considered as a future site for public art. The resolution came following a request from the Parks and Recreation Commission. Dale MacDonald, director of parks and recreation, said he has been meeting with the Summerland Community Arts Council to discuss the possibility of public art in the area.

Quest Society collecting hearing aids Used hearing aids will be given a new life as the Quest Society for Hearing Enhancement is preparing to collect and recondition used hearing aids. Joan Lansdell of Quest said the hearing aid initiative will begin early next year. Hearing aids five years old or newer will be collected at pharmacies in Summerland. The units will then be sent to the Western

Institute for the Deaf for reconditioning. Once the reconditioning is completed, the hearing aids will come back to Summerland, where they

will be available for those who otherwise could not afford hearing aids. “We’ve got so many people here who need our help,”

she said. She estimates that around 25 per cent of Summerland retirees need help in acquiring a hearing aid. A set of hearing

aids will cost around $6,000. “Where are you going to get the money if you are on a limited income?” she asked.

While the details of the program have not been finalized, Lansdell said those receiving the aids will be required to pay a portion of the cost.

Since 1999, the Summerland-based nonprofit society has been working to benefit deaf and hard of hearing people in the community.

Poppy drive begins

As Remembrance Day approaches, Summerlanders are wearing poppies on their lapels and collars. Poppies became available on Friday and they will be worn until Remembrance Day. Money from the sale of poppies will go to assist with the care of veterans, said Elke Bewick, manager of the Summerland Legion. This care includes assistance to individual veterans as well as support for the Veterans’ Transition Program and the Military Skills Conversion Program. “The poppy fund is solely for the veterans,” she said. Poppies have been used as a symbol of remembrance in Canada since 1921. Bewick said an estimated 20,000 poppies are distributed in Summerland. The Remembrance Day ceremony will be held in Memorial Park on Monday, Nov. 11 at 11 a.m.

Learning leadership

A group of 48 Grade 9 and 10 students from Summerland Secondary School participated in a recent leadership retreat in Westbank. The retreat, sponsored by the Summerland Rotary Club, Penny Lane and the Summerland Asset Development Initiative, was held at Green Bay Camp.

Decrease seen in policing statistics Police in Summerland were a little less busy in the third quarter of this year compared with the same period last year.

In his quarterly report, Sgt. Stephane Lacroix of the Summerland RCMP detachment said police responded to 843 calls for service

in the third quarter of this year, a decrease of around three per cent from the same period in 2012. “Nearly all crime types remain lower

than they were during the first three quarters of 2012,” he said. Assaults, vehicle thefts, break and enters and mis-

chief complaints all showed lower numbers. In the first three quarter of this year, there were 55 mischief complaints reported, down sig-

nificantly from 104 in the same period a year earlier. There have been 24 thefts from vehicles so far this year, compared with 43 from January to the

end of September last year. Vehicle theft numbers dropped from 23 in the first nine months of 2012 to nine in the first nine months of this year.

Drivers urged to prepare for winter roads

Percy N. Hébert Black Press

The Contenders, Valdy at left and Gary Fjellgaard, performed at Centre Stage Theatre in Summerland on Sunday evening. The concert was part of their 13th annual Okanagan tour. The legendary B.C. performers will continue to perform in the Okanagan Valley until Nov. 2.

Winter weather is just around the corner, and drivers need to be prepared for snowy and icy conditions. Motorists are required to have winter tires or carry suitable chains from Oct. 1 to April 30 while travelling on highways designated with winter travel signs. The best way to prepare is to equip your vehicle with good winter tires, identified with a mountain snowflake symbol that appears on the tire sidewalls. While winter tires are not mandatory, there are many routes which regularly experience severe winter conditions. On these routes, winter tires or chains are mandatory and signs are posted to warn drivers. A map of the

designated highways where motorists must have winter tires or chains can be found at th.gov. bc.ca/SeasonalDriving/winter_chains. html In light of changing technology, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure will review the existing definition of winter tires and chains as part of the highway speed and safety review that is underway. While this review is ongoing, the police will continue with past practice of allowing either tires with a mountain snowflake symbol or an M+S designation on highways where winter tires are required, as long as they are in good condition with a minimum tread depth of 3.5 mm.

Lucas is down on his luck; he is subbing as a kindergarten teacher, has recently been divorced and is trying to reconnect with his teenaged son. When he discovers little Klara lingering alone in the middle of town, he offers to take her home but when he spurns a childish token of her affection, it sets in motion a chain of events that daily become ingredients in a smothering presumption of guilt. Troubling, powerful and brilliantly crafted, the film subtly weighs each moral stone that is cast when an innocent world starts to collapse.

Kripps earns podium finishes Summerland’s Justin Kripps made a solid start to the preOlympic season making the podium in both the two-man and four-man bobsleigh at the Canadian National Bobsleigh Championships. Kripps paired up with newcomer Bryan Barnett (a Canadian Olympic sprinter) to take the silver medal in the two-man event held at Whistler. He was happy with their performance but still thinks they can improve significantly. Whistler is one of the most challenging tracks in the world and “not the easiest place to have your first race,” said Kripps, “but Bryan really showed a lot of potential there and I was reasonably happy with my driving, but I know I can do better.” The four-man event

was held in Park City Utah, in conjunction with the USA Team Trials. Team Kripps (Justin, Tim Randall, James McNaughton and Graham Rinholm) put in two solid heats to take the bronze medal.

“In the first heat our push was a bit slow but the drive was good,” said Kripps, “then in the second heat the team stepped it up for a much better start, but I made a couple of errors in the drive,

Bantam House Jets face Kelowna and Penticton The Summerland Bantam House hockey team faced Kelowna Oct. 19 but Kelowna had to forfeit. Summerland goalie Pierre Holmes stepped into net for the other team so the

game could still be played for fun. It was an even matchup, made even more exciting in the third period when Karter Wilms swooped in behind Summerland goalie

Austin Bubar to help save a goal. Friday night action saw Summerland pitted against Penticton 1. The Jets came out strong in the first period but Penticton got the upper hand until Sean Wilson scored assisted by Gage McKelvie and Remy Houde. Brett Wilson scored in the second period unassisted and in the same period Sean Wilson scored unassisted. Fast paced action continued into the third when Penticton tied it up and finished with a 3-3 tie game. The Bantam team’s next games are at home Nov. 2 and 3.

A celebration of stage and screen

There’s a lot happening both on stage and on the silver screen in the next few weeks. First up is the Good Will Shakespeare Festival Society AGM which will take place this Sunday, November 3 at 4 p.m. in the Summerland Secondary School Lounge area. For more information please contact Linda Beaven at 250494-1248 or lindanbeaven@gmail.com On stage at the Cleland Theatre this Sunday is the North Shore Celtic Ensemble - the first show in

the 2013-14 season for Children’s Showcase. You can get tickets at The Beanery Coffee Company. The Hunt will be shown Nov.7 at 4 and 7 p.m. at Landmark 7 Cinema in Penticton. This is part of the Penticton Art Gallery’s Kitchen Stove Film Series. This film is about a small tightknit community; a lost, lonely child and a story told. Lucas is down on his luck; he is subbing as a kindergarten teacher, has recently been divorced and is trying to reconnect with his teenaged son.

Arts PAlette

David Finnis When he discovers little Klara lingering alone in the middle of town, he offers to take her home but when he spurns a childish token of her affection, it sets in motion a chain of events that

daily become ingredients in a smothering presumption of guilt. Troubling, powerful and brilliantly crafted, the film subtly weighs each moral stone that is cast when an innocent world starts to collapse. Many Hats Theatre Company is back with their sixth and final play of the year - Jessie’s Landing, by award-winning New Brunswick playwright John Spurway. This play opens on Nov. 14 at the Cannery Stage. Showtimes are Thursday, Friday and Saturday

at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. until Dec. 7. The opening night performance will be followed by a reception in the adjoining Opus Bistro Café which will offer an opportunity to meet the cast and crew. Reserved seat tickets are available at the Wine Country Visitor’s Centre Railway and Eckhardt in Penticton or reserved by phone at 250-276-

2170. The licensed Opus Bistro Café will be open for every show with a tempting menu of dinner options. Reserve your table at Opus by calling 778-476-5856. 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@summerland-

WATCH FOR THE OPEN HOUSE COMING SOON In the studio

Margot Stolz combines her art with beeswax. She has been selected as Summerland’s Artist in Residence. Her studio is at the Summerland Art Gallery.

Artist uses inspirations from natural environment by Carla McLeod Special to the Review

Margot Stolz is the new Artist in Residence at the Summerland Art Gallery. She combines her drawings, paintings and photos with pure beeswax. It is a 2,000-year-old medium that is seeing resurgence of late. “Beeswax has the ability to encapsulate things forever,” Stolz said. “Because of the lack of bees and how they have been dying, I feel really honoured and fortunate to

work with this right now. Years from now we might be working with synthetic wax. There may not be any more beeswax.” As a permanent resident of Summerland, Stolz said the South Okanagan has always been a choice place for her and she is inspired by the landscape here. “Nature is a huge inspiration for me,” she said. “I do art to express myself and as a therapy for my own healing journey, but I don’t think I would be doing it if

it wasn’t for my connection to nature. Art and nature are my spirituality.” Stolz left her full time career as a teacher, because of a violent incident that left her suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Being able to do her art full time has been her therapy. She said the butterfly motif comes up in her work because she relates the stages of a butterfly’s life to that of someone with PTSD, explaining how, first one cocoons, because the

symptoms are so bad. Slowly one grows and morphs into something else, and then emerges back into the world, having recreated oneself. As an artist she is very grateful for the opportunity to work out of the Art Gallery studio. “Normally artists work in isolation, so if you want public accessibility with visibility, this is a godsend,” she said. “Here anyone can drop in, ask questions and watch me work.”
