Tea ceremony

John Arendt Summerland Review

Katrina Kirschmann offers sweets during a Japanese tea ceremony at the Summerland Library on Friday afternoon. The tea ceremony was part of the Culture Days events in Summerland last week.

A Summerland man says the cost of installing a water meter and the price he will pay for metered water next year are both unfair. “The cost is rising 350 per cent for myself,” said Glenn Hooper. At present, he has two water connections on his Mitchell Avenue property — connections which have been in place for many decades. One of the services is for his home while the other is for agricultural irrigation, since half of his 0.4-hectare property is used for growing grapes. Properties larger than 0.8 hectares qualify for a second water service for irrigation needs, but Hooper’s property is smaller than that minimum size. As a result, he is left with the choice of maintaining two water services, each with domestic meters in place, or discontinuing one of the two water services. He said the cost of a second meter is $1,500. Don Darling, director of works and utilities for the municipality, said the Hooper’s property is classified as residential, not farmland, even though he is growing grapes. If he opts to keep both services in place, he must have the second meter installed by the end of this year and would have to pay the base rate for metered water. The municipality has set up its rate structure for 2015 when water will be metered, but the rate itself has not yet been finalized. The municipality will pay for one water meter on each property. Because the two water services are in place at present, Darling said Hooper can opt to keep the second service, as long as he also installs the meter at his own cost. Hooper believes his property should be treated as an agricultural parcel, despite its smaller size. See BILLING Page 3

Three more in mayoral race by John Arendt

Three more candidates have put their names forward for the mayor’s role in the upcoming municipal election. Christopher BoisvertGilman, Coun. Orv Robson and Roch Fortin will

join Coun. Peter Waterman in the upcoming municipal election. Mayor Janice Perrino, who has served as Summerland’s mayor since 2008, will not run in the Nov. 15 election. Before announcing

his decision to seek the mayor’s role, BoisvertGilman asked the public to determine whether he should run as a mayoral candidate or a councillor candidate. The results of his penny poll, conducted

downtown over the past month, showed 82 per cent of those who voted in the poll suggested he seek the role of mayor, while 18 per cent wanted him to run as a councillor. Boisvert-Gilman, 63, has roots in the com-

munity dating from 1973, but for many years he had lived elsewhere. His career in corrections included developing a reintegration facilitation program for mentally disordered offenders. See CANDIDATES Page 2

Candidates prepare for election Trainer wants Continued from Page 1

He said it is important to include those who are disenfranchised. At the council table, he hopes to bring together the various diverse facets of the community. “I consider myself resourceful, thrifty and innovative, believing in pulling together a community rather than dividing it,” he said. He added that he is concerned about the polarization which has affected some public discussions. “What I see as important is to stop the fragmentation,” he said. “We need to have a plan that can work towards dispute resolution.” While BoisvertGilman has not been a council member, he said he has many years of political involvement, begin-

ning when he was 17. His involvement in politics has included serving on campaign committees for New Democratic Party MLA Bill Barlee and New Democratic Party MP Jack Whittaker. He was also the founder of the Summerland NDP Club. Robson, a councillor in the present municipal council, will seek the mayor’s role in the Nov. 15 municipal election.

“I am passionate about Summerland, have faith in our future and would be honoured to serve as your mayor for the next four years,” he said as he announced his candidacy. Robson said he would use Smart Growth principles to work in partnership with the agricultural community and the provincial Agricultural Land Commission. He also wants to

obtain grant funding to proceed with infrastructure work, specifically water separation and road upgrades. “Our aging infrastructure requires attention and reserves must be enhanced to meet those future needs,” he said. “This will necessitate frugal management of our budget to enable the future well-being of our community.” Robson spent 36 years in the RCMP, including 12 as the commander of the Summerland detachment. He retired from policing work in 2004. In 2011, Robson was elected to municipal council with support of more than 62 per cent of those who cast ballots. Fortin, also a retired RCMP officer, now runs two small businesses in Summerland, has spent many years in policing work. He has

served as the officer in charge in several large communities. During his policing career, he received the Public Service National Award and other awards. When he retired from the force three and a half years ago, he and his family settled in Summerland where he started Mapleroch and Rochlobster. Fortin said his desire to run for office was for the future of his sons, seven and 10 years old. “I want my sons, 10 years from now, to have an option to stay in Summerland,” he said. Fortin describes himself as a leader, team builder and mediator. While he has not been a council member, he said he has experience working with elected representatives at the municipal and provincial levels. “I want to be a leader, to be a bridge builder and move forward in a positive and effective way,” he said. Downtown revitalization is among his goals for the community. He has rented space on Main Street for a downtown campaign office which will open next week. The municipal election will be on Saturday, Nov. 15.

fairness and accountability For councillor candidate Erin Trainer, a fair and accountable municipal government is essential. “We need to talk, listen and come up with creative solutions that bring us together rather than divide us,” she said. “I am committed to working with the new council and mayor, and to explaining my decisions to voters. Communication is one of the most important parts of government.” She also wants to focus on downtown revitalization, exploring initiatives and incentives to attract new businesses and

retain existing businesses. Trainer, 31, is coowner of ET2media in SumErin merland. Trainer She is also the manager of the Penticton Farmers’ Market and a co-founder of the Trout Creek Community Association. Earlier this year, she was named one of the Penticton Chamber of Commerce’s Top 40 Under 40 and was a finalist in the Summerland Chamber ’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year award.

Rodocker seeks to unite and revitalize Ken Rodocker would like to see all facets of Summerland work together to promote the community and attract and retain businesses. “We’ve got the most marketable town in the Okanagan,” he said, announcing his candidacy for a councillor position in the Nov. 15 municipal election. His slogan in the election is “unite and revitalize.” Rodocker, who has owned the Sweet Tooth on Main Street for the past four years and has operated the bistro at Summerland Waterfront Resort for

the past two years, has been active in initiatives to promote the downtown. Ken These Rodocker h a v e included summer movie nights in Memorial Park and the Friday evening markets on Victoria Road North. He said he would like to see action from the next municipal council. “It’s just a matter of doing things,” he said. “Everything has been talked to death.”

Water issues addressed with province Funding sought for Garnett Valley system upgrade and expansion of spillway by John Arendt Members of Summerland’s municipal council met with provincial government representatives last week to discuss funding for local water system improvements. The meetings were held at the Union of B.C.

Municipalities convention in Vancouver. Mayor Janice Perrino said an upgrade to widen the Garnett Valley spillway and a proposal to separate agricultural and domestic water in Garnett Valley were both addressed. The spillway widening proposal, worth around $400,000, is needed to reduce the risk of flooding in the Garnett Valley area. Without the spillway

Accident victim’s name released The B.C. Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a man who died following a motor vehicle accident in Summerland last week. Gildo Vit, 77, died from injuries in the accident on Sept. 22. The accident occurred shortly after 10 a.m., on Highway 97 near Steuart Street, as Vit was crossing the highway. He was struck by a tractor-trailer traveling south. Vit was taken to Penticton Regional Hospital, but died shortly after arriving at the hospital. The B.C. Coroners Service and the RCMP are continuing to investigate the incident.

Police RePoRt Stolen trailer recovered

On Sept. 25 at 5 p.m., police recovered a stolen travel trailer in the Bathville Road area. The trailer had been stolen from West Kelowna. Camping equipment, bicycles and other items, also believed to have been stolen, were found at the same time. A 47-year-old Summerland woman was arrested at the site and is facing charges of possession of stolen property. She has been released and will appear in court at a later date.

Quad recovered

On Monday at 6 a.m., police were called to the Trout Creek area after a quad was seen at the Kettle Valley Trail, with a pickup truck following. The quad had been stolen from Summerland, but the theft had not yet been reported. A Summerland girl and a 37-year-old Penticton man were arrested. Charges against the two are pending.

expansion, the municipality would need to lower the level of the reservoir. “If we can widen the spillway, we can lessen the flood hazard,” Perrino said, “but we can’t do it without funding help.” A second water upgrade would see agricultural and domestic water systems separated in the Garnett Valley area. At present, Garnett Valley is on its own water

system, separate from the rest of the community. The proposal is to use the water from the Garnett Valley system for irrigation only. An additional water line would be added and water from Summerland’s water treatment plant would supply the area’s domestic needs. The $4.2 million project includes installing a second water line to Garnett Valley, to carry the treated water.

Perrino said grant funding will be required for this project. The province has announced Janice grant funding Perrino will be made available for municipal infrastructure projects. “We concentrated on water separation to support our agricultural needs and health issues,”

Perrino said. She added that the upgrade work will bring an additional benefit as the road surface problems could be fixed at the same time as the municipality upgrades its water service to the area. The rough condition of the road has been raised by Garnett Valley residents for years. “If we can fix what’s under the ground, the road gets fixed as well,” Perrino said.

“You can grow a lot of grapes,” Hooper said. “You can raise a lot of small crops.” He has more than 700 grape plants on his land. He said switching from two water services to one would not allow him to irrigate the grapes properly, since the pressure from a domestic

water line would be too low for his irrigation needs. Hooper believes

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Home Staging With the housing market being a little slower than it has been in years past homeowners are looking for ways to increase their properties appeal to purchasers. One such way is to “stage” your property. Experience has shown that professionally staged properties sell quicker and for more money. Developers have been using this technique with their “show homes”for many years. Staging, simply put, is using selected furniture and accessories to highlight the architectural details of your home, creating an attractive environment which stimulates the prospective purchaser. The buyer views your home as a warm, inviting space. Anyone who has watched HGTV on television has seen what a difference this can make in the appearance of a home. Many purchasers are now viewing properties online first before they decide to go further. If those pictures create that spark of interest, then staging has been well worth it. Designers can assist a homeowner by providing recommendations for those who wish to make the changes themselves or they handle all the details. As with most things, your budget dictates what can be done!

our pick

The costs of water The cost of water upgrades in the Garnett Valley area will be significant. A proposal to separate domestic and irrigation water has a price tag of $4.2 million, while an expansion of the spillway at the Garnett Lake reservoir is expected to cost around $400,000. Both projects are necessary. The expansion of the spillway is needed to reduce the flood hazard in the area. The water system separation will provide fully treated domestic water to Garnett Valley residents, while still using the existing water system for irrigation purposes. In recent years, water quality issues have become a high priority for the community, with the construction of the water treatment facility and the ongoing efforts to separate domestic and irrigation water. The system separation is serving to alleviate some of the pressures on the water treatment plan. While the treatment plant can easily treat all of Summerland’s domestic water, it cannot accommodate all of the irrigation water demands during the peak water use periods in summer. The water users on the Garnett Valley system were not affected by the treatment plant’s capacity, since the area’s water did not pass through that facility. This also meant the drinking water in Garnett Valley was not treated to the same standards as in the rest of the community. It is important to ensure there is an adequate water supply for the community, and that the domestic water is treated to proper health standards. The Garnett Valley upgrades are important and deserve attention. However, the cost of providing the water system we require will be significant.

A fundraising initiative from The One Person Project will help to build an orphanage in Tanzania. Over the years, Summerlanders have contributed generously to the organization, providing assistance to those in need, living in an impoverished area. The ongoing donations of money and used items have helped to make a difference for the people of Kahama, Tanzania.

Is CUPE running your city hall? WHISTLER – The big story at this year’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention was a report commissioned by the B.C. government that reveals municipal pay increases for unionized staff have been running at twice the rate of provincial raises. When I asked Premier Christy Clark about the intent of this report, leaked just before the annual UBCM c o n v e n t i o n , Tom Fletcher she was blunt. It’s to get this issue onto the agenda for the November municipal elections, which the province has decreed shall be for four-year terms instead of three. After local elections, discussions with surviving and incoming municipal politicians will resume. Things have been going pretty well for the main municipal union, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, for the last couple of decades. As local election turnout has gone from bad to worse, municipal employees themselves have become an increasingly dominant voting bloc. Then there are the “labour councils” in urban centres, now almost entirely fronts for public sector unions. They quietly survey council candidates to determine their level of affection for ever-growing public payrolls, and dole out campaign funds accord-

ingly. Sometimes they organize full slates, with cuddly names like “Protect Coquitlam” to appeal to low-information voters. During last week’s convention in Whistler, I caught up to Finance Minister Mike de Jong in a brief break from the dozens of meetings cabinet ministers have with mayors, councillors and regional directors. Is the province going to impose some kind of solution? “There’s not some hidden legislative agenda,” de Jong replied. More data needs to be gathered, and the report shows ongoing problems with management salaries at the provincial level as well. Is this the first step to imposing a tight-fisted centralized bargaining agency, such as the government set up last year to wrestle the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to the ground? “We haven’t formulated our answer,” de Jong said. “What the data does suggest, however, is that there may well be some merit [to centralized bargaining]. One of the recommendations points to a more coordinated approach to some of the negotiations that take place.” Will the new municipal auditor general have a role in this? “The purpose of the auditor was not to become an enforcement mechanism,” de Jong said. “It was to play a traditional audit function on whether taxpayers are getting value for money. To that extent I suppose a municipal auditor might be able to comment on

the advantages of coordinating efforts.” NDP leader John Horgan’s attack on the compensation report was as predictable as it was selective. In his speech to delegates, Horgan called it “one-sided, politically motivated, shoddy work” designed to embarrass local politicians on the eve of their elections. Did he question Ernst and Young’s numbers, the pay increases for municipal union staff of 38 per cent between 2001 and 2012, compared to 19 per cent for unionized provincial staff? Did he question their calculation that over that period, inflation totalled 23 per cent? No. The facts being against him, he went with an emotional pitch to distract from them. Recall that during the final days of the teachers’ strike, Horgan suddenly decided that what was really needed was binding arbitration. This was 24 hours after the teachers’ union took that position. So there’s the big question to be considered by voters as local elections draw near. Which candidates are looking out for your interests, and which ones are working on behalf of CUPE? There’s another troubling trend in manipulation of local government that was more evident than ever at the 2014 UBCM convention. I’ll discuss that in a future column.

culls

Despite ongoing messages about bear awareness, there are too many bear encounters, many of them preventable, throughout the region. W h i l e bears will descend to the valley bottoms in the fall, as fruit ripens and as they prepare for winter, the smells of garbage and food can draw them to residential areas. Some of the bear encounters in the recent past have occurred close to the core of the community. Others have been at the lake. These encounters will continue unless people stop leaving attractants for the bears.

Governments do not change rights

Dear Editor: Justice Susan Griffin’s findings that removing legislation that regulates class size and composition from the B.C. teachers collective agreement is a violation of the teachers’ basic human rights of freedom of association is nothing less than bizarre. The government is the employer, not the union, and it will always be the employer’s prerogative and responsibility to determine job descriptions, class sizes and composition, and the amount of money required to deliver public education. The B.C. Teachers’ Union’s claim that collective agreement entitlements become constitutionally protected in perpetuity is equally bizarre, but not surprising. Governments write all legislation for, and on behalf of the people, and expired collective agreements only serve as templates in future contract negotiations. The only mandate the courts have, is to defend that legislation, whenever it is being challenged. If our judges so desperately want to write our laws, they should put their names on the ballot and ask the people for a mandate to represent them in the

legislatures. The courts have only one role to play

in the B.C. teachers’ relationship with the union, and that is

simply to enforce the teacher’s basic human rights to freedom of

association, and ban mandatory membership in the union.

Governments, the courts, and unions do not change our

human rights. Andy Thomsen Summerland

The early years

Not quite the window to the soul

The need for scientific advice on maintaining high-quality fruit production in the Okanagan led to the establishment of the Dominion Experimental Farm in 1914. Though fruit growing was the main focus, field and animal husbandry were also studied and the farm raised everything from livestock to vegetables and even tobacco. The “cows with glass stomachs” drew visitors to the farm in the 1950s and 1960s due to the windows that allowed scientists to study the stomach contents. Kids just liked watching the yucky green stuff. The Experimental Farm, now the Pacific Agri-food Research Centre, is celebrating 100 years of operation. Don’t miss the informative and entertaining open house on Saturday, Oct. 4, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Research Station. It’s really something to see.

Efforts were made to beautify front lawns

Dear Editor, For the first time in the history of the Summerland Fall Fair, prizes were offered to entrants for their front lawn beautification project. First prize winner Linda McIntosh on Canyon View Road has a beautiful yard, both front and back in which

she should be justly proud. Flowers galore, which were buzzing with bees, when I paid a brief visit to it. First prize for the best eco-friendly yard went to John and Emily Unger on Barclay. The combined use of gravel and rock, with annual flowers

which require minimal watering was well illustrated in her yard. Very pleasing to the eye as well. Second prize for the best eco-friendly yard was that of James Fofonoff on Prairie Valley Road who used bark mulch mounded up, interspersed with

some young short plants. He did have one large tree in his yard, though, which I suspect needed a larger share of water. Next year, I hope to offer a prize at the fall fair for the most improved yard. I look forward to receiving a lot more entries than I had this

year, and for this category you will require at least two pictures of your yard from this year and, hopefully, two pictures showing the improvements that will have been made by the fall of 2015. I’m really looking forward to this myself, because as I look around

Summerland there could be a lot of improvements made in some properties. Make it easy on yourself (less mowing) by turning your yard into an ecofriendly yard (less watering) and winning some cash to boot. Frank Martens Summerland

Spike in bear sightings in region by Joe Fries Black Press A local conservation officer hopes a flurry of recent bear sightings in the area will serve as a reminder to people to not leave out anything of interest to hungry bruins trying to bulk up for winter. “We’re in the thick of bear season,” said Jeff Hanratty, who cited attractants like garbage

and fruit trees as the source of most conflicts to which he’s dispatched. According to an online database listing reports made to B.C. conservation officers, four of 10 bear sightings in the city between Sept. 16 and Sept. 24 were along Ellis Creek, where Hanratty said bruins were dining primarily on people’s garbage. “The thing about these

guys is they usually don’t go away once they’ve been fed,” he noted. “This time of year, it’s critical for them to get their calories on before they go and den up. They’ve got a biological drive to find that food, and they’ve got a nose that is better than any bloodhound for finding this food, and our society continues to leave out, essentially, bait for them.”

The six other recent sightings were in the south end of Penticton between Cornwall and Guelph Avenues, prompting another wildlife specialist to consider localized education campaigns. “If I get three or four calls from (an) area… then I know to get on the ground and do some door-to-door” work, said Zoe Kirk, the WildsafeBC

community coordinator for the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen. She encouraged anyone who spots a bear to report it immediately to the B.C. Conservation Officer Service hotline. “It doesn’t necessarily mean anything is going to happen to that bear, but what it does do is puts a pin on the map that says: bear sighting, this big,

going this direction, on this day,” Kirk explained. “And then if something happens further down the road, sometimes you can see a pattern of escalation with a bear, and then you can try and intercede before they get to the point where they have to destroy it.” The hotline is available 24 hours a day and can be reached at 1-877-9527277.

Rodgers and Kereluk support animal charities by Carla McLeod Special to the Review

Caring for animals

Cynthia Kereluk holds Roxie, a dog which belongs to a volunteer at Critteraid. Kereluk and her husband Paul Rodgers have worked with animal-related charities in the Okanagan and internationally.

The rock star and the beauty queen. This is how some have referred to Paul Rodgers and Cynthia Kereluk, yet there is so much more. Rodgers, world renowned singer, songwriter and musician and his wife, Kereluk, who was Miss Canada in 1984, believe in giving back. Out of the more than 50 charities they support, the local Critteraid is one. “Critteraid are wonderful. They

are very quiet in our community, but they are very dedicated,” said Kereluk. “I see the work they do first hand for the Okanagan Valley and it’s incredible that we have such a great organization locally. We really need to celebrate it. That is why Paul and I got involved and gave them this building to use as a thrift shop.” Another charitable organization Rodgers and Kereluk support is the Willows Animal Sanctuary in Aberdeen, Scotland. Although this is not a local charity, Kere-

luk’s belief is that we are all connected and part of one world. The economy is slow in the northern part of Scotland and the sanctuary has fallen on really hard times. “We are doing everything we can to keep them up and operating. With 300 animals it is not easy. With the old, unwanted and abused animals the vet bills are through the roof,” Kereluk explained. “They are at the point now where they are not taking any more animals.” Kereluk said when times are tough, one

of the first things people may have to give up is their pets. “That’s why we’re following and scooping up all the balls that are being dropped,” she said. In order to help the Willows, Kereluk is planning an annual fundraiser for the sanctuary this Saturday evening at the Sandman Inn in Penticton. It includes a dessert bar and tea and coffee, as well as live entertainment featuring local musicians. Tickets are available at the Critteraid Charity Shop.

Kereluk said it hurts her heart to see animals and people suffering. She feels the need to help and to give back. She added that her mother had cared for children who were handicapped in some way and how this had taught her early on in life that it was not always about her. Now, when she herself gives to others, she feels it is her mom working through her in some sense. Kereluk also believes that there are many ways in which to give, whether by donating one’s time, donating goods or by giving financially. “The volunteering and giving back spirit is very alive and well in Summerland,” she said. Sharing further her values in life she explained that material possessions can be empty and shallow and she feels that there is very little she needs. “I’m not a stuff girl,” she said. “I’m also very lucky that my husband shares my passion for helping others.” Rodgers and Kereluk have travelled the world and choose to call Summerland their home. Kereluk moved here at the age of 14 and knew this is where she wanted to stay. She was happy when her husband too loved the area. They enjoy the grassroots support of friends coming together in the community in order to help each other. Kereluk said she could never have put on the upcoming fundraiser without her many good friends to help her.

Funds sought for orphanage in Tanzania Thanks to the generosity of the Okanagan community The One Person Project is building an orphanage in Kahama, Tanzania. The Summerland organization is voicing an urgent appeal for extra funds to get the building ready before the onset of the rainy season in mid October. “The basic structure is complete. We just need to raise $10,000 to get the septic tanks and bathrooms in and to buy doors,” said Brenda Lowe, president and co-founder of The One Person Project. “Then we can move the children in and we will continue the internal work in January. This will give us some breathing space to raise money to complete the orphanage.” The orphanage will provide a home and safe-haven for up to 50 vulnerable children and youth, including orphans with albinism who are hunted and maimed or killed. The District of Summerland and the Kahama District formed a Friendship Agreement in 2008. The agreement does not include financial support from the municipality, but the community has contributed to

the efforts. At present, 18 orphans live in a small four-room rental with the Muvuma Orphanage head, Lucia, one of seven Kahama women who donate their time and funds towards feeding and housing the orphans. The Kahama District Council donated land for a new orphanage. It took more than two years for the women to raise funds to begin construction. “When we came on board the walls were about two-foot high and construction was at a standstill. One of our medical volunteers, Nancy Comeau a psychologist from Penticton, donated $1,000 to kick-start the project and since then we’ve sent a further $17,500,” said Lowe. Susan George of Summerland took a self-funded trip to Kahama with her granddaughter Morgan Rowley in April 2014. “It was wonderful to visit the project’s programs and spend time in the community,” she said. “What an experience. The orphanage is so needed and it’s wonderful to know that Brenda and other volunteers will be visiting every year.” The organization

also collects donated medical, education and family resources and ships them to Kahama. The fourth container will be arriving in Kahama to coincide with the annual volunteer trip in February 2015. A third of the shipping container is dedicated to items for the orphanage. “We are constantly amazed at the generosity of local businesses and families,” Lowe said, “and people are always telling us that they appreciate the feedback they receive that shows exactly where their donation-dollars were spent.” Tickets for the One Person Annual Dinner Dance and Silent Auction on Nov. 8 are available at Tones Hair Design on Victoria Road North or by phoning Brenda Lowe at 250-809-9639. Donations can be made at the Summerland Credit Union, by mailing a cheque to The One Person Project, 10108 Julia St., Summerland VOH 1Z5, or online at www.theonepersonproject.org. Contact Denise info@theonepersonproject.org for more information, to join the committee or to become a One Person volunteer.

Ask Your Dentist...

I think that most people would respond to the word “denture” as a four letter word. It conjures up images of something moving in our mouth, teeth that do not look natural and is usually not something that we would Dr. Cindee Melashenko want ourselves. 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!

Art show

Carla McLeod Special to the Review

There was a good turn out for the De Vine Arts Show, which was held at the Summerland Waterfront Resort this past weekend. The show featured the work of a dozen local artists. Joan Lansdell, one of the artists participating, is second from left. Complimentary wine tastings courtesy of the Bottleneck Drive Association were also offered and enjoyed.

Taking a trip to Okinawa Fall has finally arrived in Toyokoro, and Hokkaido. Within what seemed like a couple days, the weather changed drastically. For a couple weeks straight it rained, then once the rain stopped there was a significant chill in the air, even on sunny days. This year has been cooler than last year, and the ocean is cooling much quicker. For the past month, the fishermen in Toyokoro have been catching fish that aren’t usu-

ally present until the fall. Last week, I took a well timed trip to the southernmost prefecture called Okinawa. Yet again, I was told a week before I left that there was a typhoon heading towards the island, and my plans for scuba diving, and camping had no chance of happening. For about six days, I stayed in the city of Naha. And, despite all of the warnings, the weather was unbearably hot and

humid. At one point, the weather was at 35 degrees and 87 per cent humidity. It turned out that the typhoon changed directions last minute. The hostel I stayed at was a block away from the main street in Naha, Kokusaidori. To get to Kokusaidori, you can walk through a maze of markets; selling everything from lighters to food to clothes.

Okinawa is different from Hokkaido, not only in weather but also in many other ways such as food, and culture to name a couple. The islands in Okinawa are home to many different ethnicities, including about 60 per cent of the American Army presence in Japan, which make the food and culture a bit of a melting pot. For example one of the Okinawan dishes is taco rice. It’s rice with beef cooked in Mexican spices. There are also several different American fast-food res-

taurants in Naha. All of these different nationalities combined with Japanese food make an incredibly delicious combination. I have never eaten such delicious vegetarian food in my life. In Hokkaido, it’s quite difficult to eat vegetarian. Many restaurants I’ve visited in Hokkaido believe fish isn’t considered meat, therefore I’ll still eat it. It’s been a bit difficult eating out in Hokkaido at traditional Japanese restaurants. Lastly, the Toyokoro Sister City Delegation will be in Summerland from Oct. 6 to 10. So if you see us around town, be sure to say hello or konichiwa. Japanese proverb: junin (10 people) toiro (10 colours) – to each his own.

Bantam Jets start strong On Saturday Sept. 27, the Bird Enterprise Integration Inc. Bantam House Jets faced off against South Okanagan. The Jets lost by two in the evenly matched, high scoring exhibition opener. South Okanagan came out strong, overwhelming the Jets with three goals in the first five minutes. The Jets replied quickly with three of their own by Brendan McWatters assisted by J.J. Henderson, Rylan Campbell assisted by Jackson Wagner and an unassisted goal by Tristan Preston. South Okanagan then managed to get three more before the end of the period. The Jets regrouped,

outscoring their guests three goals to one in the second period. Liam Hrncirik scored two, both assisted by Campbell, with Calum Bird picking up the other second period marker. South Okanagan added three more in the third. The Jets put on pressure in the last five minutes, with two quick goals by Campbell. Hrncirik had the assist on the last. For three quarters of the team, Saturday was their first experience at Bantam level play. Goaltender Ben Lewis, brought up from PeeWee only a few days earlier, quickly adapted to the challenge.

HOME GAME SCHEDULE

Summerland sent athletes to the B.C. Seniors Games in Langley Sept. 9 to 13. From left are Lynn Schulberg, Ruth McPhillamey, Rob King, Irene Ferguson, Linda Brussee and Terry McPhillamey. Other Summerland participants at the games were Glen Brennan, Tammy Brennan, Dan Dinsmore, Donna Eaton, Donna Evans, Harry Higson, Dale MacDonald, Charley Mayer, Bruce McDowall and Donna Waddington. King won six gold medals in swimming events, while Ruth McPhillamey won two golds, a silver and a bronze. In team action, slo-pitch teams with Summerland athletes took gold, silver and bronze, while a curling team earned gold and a soccer team earned silver. The next B.C. Seniors Games will be held in North Vancouver Aug. 25 to 29, 2015.

FEATURED PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Alex’s favourite hockey memory is going to the Provincial’s in Bantam Hockey. His favourite pregame meal is Papa John’s pizza. His favourite movie is Jarhead, and his favourite song is Landslide by the Dixie Chicks. His favourite saying is, “Rubbins, Racin”. In addition to playing hockey, Alex likes to hunt, fish, 4x4in, dirt biking and gaming. He thinks the best thing about Summerland is it’s small.

Alex Williams (nicknamed Willie/ Grizz) is 5’10” and weighs 180 lbs. His hometown is West Kelowna and he attends Mount Boucherie Secondary School. He was born in 1996 and started playing hockey in 2001 at the Novice A level. He is a rookie player and wears #2 for the Summerland Steam.

The Summerland Steam added two more wins in Junior B hockey action over the past week. On Sept. 24, the Steam travelled to Armstrong to face the North Okanagan

Knights in a 3-1 win. The Steam began scoring at 4:15 in the first period with a goal by Wyatt Gale. Riley Pettitt and Jarrett Malchow had the assists. The Knights responded with a goal at 3:03 to tie the game. In the second period, Jack Mills scored for the Steam at 2:21, with the assist by Braden Eliuk. The third period goal for the Steam was at 9:35 when Pet-

titt scored, assisted by Malchow. On Saturday, the Steam hosted the Knights in a 6-1 win. Summerland began with a power play goal at 17:55 when Easton Bodeux scored, assisted by Nelson Hurry and Cole Williams. A second goal for the Steam came at 3:04 when Kendall Wilson scored, assisted by Alex Williams. North Okanagan’s sole goal came on a

power play at 11:31 The Steam then responded at 8:44 with a goal by Paulsen Lautard. Calvin Hadley and Mills had the assists. Lautard scored an unassisted shorthanded goal at 6:35. In the third period, Hadley scored at 7:38, assisted by Braden Saretsky. The final Steam goal was a power play at 4:59 by Mills, assisted by Lautard. Summerland is in second place in the

Okanagan/Shuswap Conference: Okanagan Division in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, behind the undefeated Osoyoos Coyotes. Summerland has five wins and one loss so far in the season. This weekend, Summerland will play three away games. The next home game for the Steam is on Sunday, Oct. 12 at 2 p.m. against the Kamloops Storm.

Until the end of the year, Summerland and Penticton will share ice time with 18 teams from both communities playing in the mornings. Leagues are also in place each evening during the week. A Friday evening mixed league for new

curlers proved popular last year with 14 teams registered, Jaeger said. Because of the interest in this league, play began at 6:45 and 8:45 p.m. In most other leagues, there are eight teams each evening. A stick curling league will play on Friday afternoons. Stick curling involves two-person teams. Rocks are curled using a special stick, making this league ideal for those who have trouble

bending down to curl because of bad backs or bad knees. A commercial league, for those who work during the day, is planned for Mondays at 5 p.m. Jaeger said the league started last year. She is hoping for a good response once again this year. Most of the leagues in Summerland are recreational rather than highly competitive, Jaeger said. While curling has a strong social component, Jaeger said the game also pro-

vides health benefits, especially during sweeping. “You have to be in pretty good condition to follow the rocks,” she said. The season will continue until midMarch. While leagues will play weekdays and evenings, the ice is available on the weekends for those wishing to hold special events. Those interested in registering for this season are asked to call Ken Rae at 250494-9848.

Curling leagues to begin on weekend Curlers in Summerland are ready for a season on the ice as curling action begins this weekend. Cheryl Jaeger of the Summerland Curling Club said leagues will play every weekday and evening, beginning Oct. 4.

Midget Jets lose in season opener The Summerland Minor Hockey Midget House Jets played their first game of the season to a 5-1 loss against Kelowna. The sole Summerland goal was scored by Ryan Blystone.

Albert James Morico (1933-2014) It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden, but peaceful passing of Al Morico on September 25, 2014. Al will be forever missed by his wife Meta, his daughter Mandy Scharien, his son Christopher (Laurie Bruce) Morico, his sister Shirley (John) McQuarrie, his step-children Dave (Joy) Koopmans and Jenn (Chris) Fraser, grandchildren Justin (Erin) Scharien, Jessica Scharien, step-grandchildren Bella Kinsey, Emily & Lucas Koopmans, his nephew Johnny, niece Fiona, along with Shea & Kendra; as well as many other relatives and numerous friends. His memories will also be shared with his newest additions, his great-grandchildren Jillian & Sam Scharien. Al was pre-deceased by his first wife Margaret, and his sister Christine. Al was born Alberto Jamero Morico in Motherwell, Scotland on August 5, 1933 and bravely moved to Canada in his early 20’s recruited by the Hudson Bay Company. He then went on to build a lifelong career as a highly respected public servant with the Government of Canada. Al was a proud and private man with a huge heart. Always lending support and guidance to all that he touched. He was truly the smartest man alive, and he would be the first one to tell you if you ever forgot. He dedicated the latter part of his years to his wife Meta of 8 years and the Salvation Army and was successfully able to balance his unjudging love and sense of humour with his blended family, most recently sharing an imaginary cup of tea with his great granddaughter. Al was forever the planner, a more meticulous man, you will never meet. Although we gave him a hard time, we counted on his good sense and organization, and this was true right to the end. The family would like to extend heartfelt gratitude to the Broadbent family, PRH emergency & ICU doctors and staff for their kindness and compassion. A Celebration of Life was held at 2 pm on Wednesday, October 1st at the Penticton Salvation Army Church, 2469 S. Main Street. No flowers by request, donations gratefully accepted to the Penticton Salvation Army in memory of Al. Condolences may be sent to the family through www.providencefuneralhomes.com.

CARL SHEELEY

December 8, 1939 - September 20, 2014 Carl Sheeley, husband of 49 years to the love of his life, Jean, and father to Laurie (Rob Kitamura), Jen and Patrick, found his way out of this world and into the next on September 20 after a swift and honourable clash with a most aggressive cancer. Carl was the first born child to parents Joe and Dorothy Sheeley in Alert Bay and grew up in Summerland with his two brothers, Bob and Jim. Carl went on to attend UBC where he received his teaching degree and played baseball at a high level as a crafty left handed pitcher. Carl was known to all as a charismatic and vibrant man who found joy and wonder in everything he did. He lived his life to the fullest and brought out the best in all those he knew. After a 32 year career devoted to teaching and coaching high school youth (Winslow Jr. Secondary/Coquitlam, Sahali, John Peterson), he went on to revel in his retirement years, never skipping a beat but rather plunging head first into doing more of what he loved. Golfing (his healthy obsession), curling, coaching, volunteering actively throughout his community, and travelling to long anticipated places were among his most recent past times. Many of Carl’s most precious moments over the last 40 years took place at his beloved cabin on Shuswap lake where family and friends were always welcome. But above all else, Carl settled into grand parenting his four wonderful grandkids: Olivia and Charlie (Jen) and Ben and Joe (Laurie and Rob). The role he has played in their lives is immeasurable and it would seem as though he was born for that very job. Beyond the immediate family members that will miss his presence is his vast group of friends. They are a wonderful bunch who bravely came out in droves to support and love him in his final days. He was a great friend to many and known widely through Kamloops as a boisterous and kind soul. Carl made friends everywhere that he went and couldn’t help but engage deeply in the world around him. His sense of humour was second to none and he knew how to tell a story as well as he knew how to poke fun at himself. A constant sense of genuine curiosity kept Carl young in heart and mind and he was notorious for his childlike inquisitiveness about anything that caught his attention. His love of sports, weather, children, reading, travel, world affairs, friends and family meant that Carl was never bored and squeezed enjoyment from virtually everything that he did. In keeping with Carl’s wishes, a Remembrance Party will be held at 4:00 on Friday, October 3 at the Parkside Lounge within the Interior Savings Centre in Kamloops. Please consider wearing your brightest colours to honour the robust and positive spirit of a great man. Those wanting to donate in Carl’s honour are asked to consider giving to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation or the Kamloops Chapter of Kids Sports Canada. Special thanks to the wonderful nurses of RIH ICU and Dr. Varma for their sensitive and attentive care.

Visual art exhibit opens at gallery Doug Wilson of Penticton will end our 2014 Gallery season with a show entitled Magic Light, an Interplay of Light, Shade and Colour. This show will open with the usual Thursday evening reception from 7 to 9 p.m. on Oct. 2. For those unable to attend the opening reception the Art Gallery at 9908 Main St. is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Wilson was raised

Arts PAlette

David Finnis in North Vancouver and was fascinated by art as a child. He began drawing and painting in elementary school,

however he became disenchanted with art classes in high school and decided to explore his own path. He purchased a good quality camera and began to explore the beauty of nature. According to Doug the camera opened windows of creativity for him. He was drawn to the subtle shades of morning light, the rich colours of the later afternoon and the muted colours

thru fog and mist. From there he began to paint exploring and using those images and themes that he had captured through the camera lens. You are invited to see how light, shade and colour interact in these works. Magic Light will be in the Art Gallery until Saturday, Nov. 15. At that time various volunteers will begin to prepare the Arts Centre for Seasons Sparkles and

the annual Festival of Lights on Friday, Nov. 28. For a few more weeks the streets of downtown and Lowertown will continue to be an outdoor gallery displaying the colourful street banners created

last spring. These banners are available for purchase by visiting the Arts Centre and making a bid in the Banner Book. They are a wonderful way to brighten a patio or deck or perhaps a student dorm

at a far off university. The Arts Palette is written by David Finnis, publicity chair and president of the Summerland Community Arts Council, P.O. Box 1217, 9908 Main St., Summerland, B.C. V0H 1Z0.

A look back at 20 years The time has gone by so fast. On Friday, I marked 20 years at the Summerland Review. The dates on the calendar show how many years have elapsed, but the time has flown by. Often, reporters and editors at small weekly papers stay for a few years before moving on, but something about Summerland keeps me here. From the moment I arrived, it felt as if I had come home. Although Summerland was nothing at all like the city in northern Saskatchewan where I had worked before, there was a familiar and comfortable atmosphere here. The people of Summerland have accepted me as I am and have shown me much warmth and kindness over the years. There is no way I can adequately say thanks for what I have experienced from so many of you. This friendliness

is something which does not happen everywhere. It’s a reason so many people from outside the community want to move here and it’s why people I meet from out of town will often tell me how fortunate I am to live here. Many times I have seen people of Summerland come together to help those in need. Whether the initiative is an annual toy drive for the holiday season, assistance for someone undergoing a medical emergency or aid efforts to help internationally, the responses are generous. This is community spirit at its finest. In 20 years of news coverage, I have also seen quite a few changes. Retail stores and services have come and gone. Many faces in local government, community service, the arts, the business sector and other facets of Summerland have changed. The students who will

graduate from high school in June were not even born when I arrived at the John Review. Arendt But at its core, the character of Summerland is much the same as it has been since the day I started working here. Summerland has long been defined by its small-town atmosphere and its strong agricultural component. Those who live here cherish this character and want to ensure it remains. When I started working here, the concerns were about the proposed sewer system and how it might mean densification and a more urban character. The discussions were lively and sometimes heated. Later, land use plans, development proposals and infill subdivisions have

garnered similar responses, as have roundabout intersections and a regional prison. This year, the Urban Growth Plan prompted many to raise their concerns about how the proposal could alter Summerland’s smalltown character and local agriculture. This is a community with a lot of passion, a place where people are willing to speak out about the things that matter to them. The enthusiasm and vibrancy in this community continue to inspire me. Working at this paper has been much more than just a job. It has been an honour and a privilege to tell the many stories which have unfolded. And I thank you all for giving me the opportunity to become a part of this community for the past two decades. John Arendt is the editor of the Summerland Review.
