Mayoral winner

In a close election on Saturday, Peter Waterman was elected to serve as Summerland’s mayor for the next four years. Four of the five candidates for mayor were within 200 votes of each other. Waterman plans to set up a mayor’s task force to focus on the local economy.

Electors choose Waterman as mayor Vote count close in five-way race by John Arendt In a close mayoral race, Peter Waterman was elected to the municipality’s top elected role, defeating his closest rival by just 77 votes. Waterman, who had served as a councillor, was elected mayor with 1,197 votes out of the 4,428 ballots cast in the five-way mayoral race. There are an estimated

8,600 eligible voters in Summerland. Roch Fortin, the secondplace finisher, garnered 1,120 votes. David Gregory, a former Summerland councillor and mayor, finished with 1,005 votes, while Orv Robson, a member of the current council, had 1,003. Christopher Boisvert-Gilman was the fifth-place finisher with 103 votes. Waterman has set out goals for the first 100 days of the new council.

He plans to introduce a motion to withdraw the application to remove land from the Agricultural Land Reserve. The land exchange, approved by council earlier this year, is before the Agricultural Land Commission. It calls for the removal of 80.34 hectares of land within the land reserve near the core of the community, while 91.7 hectares in the Prairie Valley area would be added to the land reserve. See MAYOR’S Page 2

It was a time for change as Summerland voters replaced the members of municipal council. Mayor elect Peter Waterman was the only member of the past council to continue at the table. Of the six councillors elected on Saturday, none has been part of the Summerland council before and only one has previous council experience elsewhere. There were 16 candidates vying for the six councillor positions. “It was an indication that we needed a change,” said councillor elect Toni Boot. Boot was elected with 2,819 votes, followed by Erin Trainer with 2,214, Erin Carlson with 2,096, Richard Barkwill with 1,843, Janet Peake with 1,707 and Doug Holmes with 1,650. While Peake has served at the municipal level in Ontario, the rest of the councillors who were elected have not served on councils in the past. Erin Carlson, a vocal opponent of the municipality’s Urban Growth Plan, saw the election results as a show of public opposition to the plan. “We just had a little referendum,” Carlson said after the election results were announced on Saturday evening. The growth plan included a controversial land exchange. In spring, a petition circulated by Carlson and others in the Stop the Swap movement was signed by more than 1,200 Summerlanders. Candidates opposed to the growth plan received the strongest support in the election. Most of those elected had earlier spoken out against the growth plan, especially the controversial land exchange, while those in support of the plan rated lower in the polls. Trainer said the outcome of the vote also means a heavy responsibility for those who were elected. “Now the hard work begins,” she said. Peake said the mix on the new council will be exciting. She said she has never before worked with this many women on a municipal council. Holmes said the council members represent a range of different experiences and personalities. “We all have something to offer,” he said. “If you have clever people around the table, you’re going to work it out and do what’s best for the community.” “There’s a lot of work ahead, but I think it’s a great group of people,” Barkwill said. The remaining candidates were John Dorn with 1,605 votes, Denise MacDonald with 1,569, incumbent Robert Hacking with 1,461, incumbent Martin Van Alphen with 1,449, Joel Gregg with 1,330, incumbent Bruce Hallquist with 1,276, Mark Smed with 855, Ken Rodocker with 560, Daniel Papadopolous with 205 and Marty Fisher with 181. The new council will take office at the beginning of December. The next municipal election will be in October, 2018.

Mayor’s task force to examine economy Continued from Page 1

At public hearings in spring, there was strong opposition to the proposed land exchange, including a petition signed by more than 1,200 Summerlanders. Waterman said the election results show a strong public opposition to the growth plan. Of the mayoral candidates, only Robson campaigned in support of the plan. Close to threequarters of voters selected a candidate opposed to the controversial land exchange, Waterman said. In addition to rescinding the land exchange application, Waterman plans to organize a mayor’s task force on the local economy. The mayor’s task

Voter turnout 51 per cent The people of Summerland have spoken, or more accurately just over half the people have spoken. The municipal election on Saturday saw a voter turnout of 4,446, out of an estimated 8,695 eligible voters. This works out to a voter turnout of

51 per cent. The numbers are from the unofficial election results. Official election results were not available by press time. Participation in Saturday’s municipal election was much higher than in the last municipal election when

Mock election reflected actual outcome Students pick Waterman over Fortin in close mayoral race

It was a close mayoralty race in the Summerland Secondary School mock election. Peter Waterman won the mayor’s chair by a slim onevote margin over Roch Fortin and two votes over David Gregory in third. The other candidates

were far behind. For councillor, newcomer Doug Holmes topped the polls with a convincing 19-vote win over Mark Smed. Both candidates have children attending the high school. In third place was youthful candidate Erin Trainer, Toni Boot in fourth, Summerland Secondary School graduate and activist Erin Carlson in fifth place and another grad Robert

Hacking, an incumbent, sixth. The other 10 candidates were not elected. Marty Fisher received the fewest votes with 13. Civics 11 student Megan Avery says the simulated vote was “a good experience for students, but some kids didn’t bother to inform themselves and that’s a shame.” Another student Leif Forge said many classes researched and debated the vari-

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

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

just 36.1 per cent cast ballots. In that election, Janice Perrino was elected by acclamation to serve a second term as mayor. In 2008, voter turnout was close to 47 per cent and in 2005, 60.6 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots in the municipal election.

EDITORIAL

our pick

The voice of the people Now that a new municipal council has been elected, the tone of Summerland’s local government is about to change. All except one of those elected on Saturday is new to Summerland’s council table. The results make it clear that voters wanted a change. This election can be seen in part as a vote against the Urban Growth Plan, an issue which earlier generated strong opposition. The outcome can also be seen as the result of repeated calls for a council that would listen to and act on the wishes of the public. Throughout the discussion and debate on the growth plan, council faced a strong and vocal opposition from a significant number in the community. The decision to proceed with the growth plan was seen by some as a disregard for what the public wanted. During the election campaign, members of the incoming council promised to act according to the wishes of the public. Over the next four years, there will be times when this will prove difficult if not impossible. Elected officials at any level of government are sometimes faced with tough choices. Budgets seldom satisfy everyone, particularly when they include tax increases or utility rate increases. At other times, elected officials must look beyond the present population to the needs of future generations. Choices today may have a huge effect for decades to come. Land use plans are longlasting and not easily changed. The same is true of financial decisions, especially those which require borrowing for infrastructure projects. Public input is essential and the voice of the people must be taken seriously. But there are also times when difficult and unpopular decisions must be made.

For the past 100 years, the Research Centre in Summerland has been developing fruit varieties and agricultural innovations. Last week, the centre received the Century Farm Award in recognition of its work over the years. As the challenges facing agriculture are continuing to change, the need for the Research Centre remains as important as ever before.

What to do with school boards? VICTORIA – The saddest manifestation of British Columbia’s modern democracy has produced its judgment, with the election of school trustees for the next four years. There are still independent, community-minded trustees, but mostly “boards of education” have become the neglected, exploited stepchild of B.C. politics. Te a c h e r union locals Tom Fletcher and CUPEdominated “labour councils” organize candidate forums and ask most of the questions, often to former teachers holding and seeking school board seats. Unions finance the campaigns of those who pledge to act as a bullhorn for constant demands for more provincial money, and instruct their members to vote for what should be called the Conflict of Interest slate. This has been going on for so long in B.C. it is seen as normal. Trustees who most loudly plump for their union masters tend to win, thanks to low turnout. The public mostly doesn’t give a damn, since school property tax authority was centralized in Victoria many years ago, largely because of this special interest pressure. The classic case is in Coquitlam, where one could almost hear the theme from The Godfather as local CUPE boss Dave

Ginter appeared before the board of education in February. He informed the elected trustees that their collective financial acumen wasn’t up to his standards and some of them would have to go this fall. “Obviously, the chore I have is to find new trustees,” Ginter clarified in an interview with the Tri-City News as the union’s candidate selection machine stirred to life. Ginter seems to have made them an offer they couldn’t refuse on Saturday, with formerly union-blessed trustees turfed out in favour of a new group. Then there’s Vancouver Island, where the 1970s survived, at least until Saturday night. Cowichan school board got itself fired by the province in 2012 for refusing to submit a balanced budget. Two of the trustees who think the job is to flout the balanced budget rule and instead demand a “needs budget” ran again. They were joined on a slate by two others who apparently still believe the answer to every problem is to shout for “more government funding.” They didn’t get in, as voters appear to have been unimpressed by seeing their school board replaced by a provincially-appointed manager for two years. That brings up a modest proposal. How about an appointed trustee for each of the 60 school districts? School boards have lost authority over taxation, curriculum (another area of constant union social

engineering pressure) and now labour relations. Do we really need them any more? After the 2013 B.C. election, the Christy Clark government wasted no time taking control of union bargaining on behalf of school districts. Trustees were pushed out of the bargaining agency, no longer trusted to represent taxpayers for that duty either. The puppet role of some school trustees was evident in the recent teacher strike. When the province opted to pay parents for the disruption, there was a chorus of protest from those supposedly elected to represent the interests of parents and taxpayers. School tax rates are now set by cabinet order, and the B.C. Liberal government is considering a move to regulate local industrial taxes. (This would presumably be to keep unioninfluenced municipalities from trying to get too many golden eggs from those liquefied natural gas plants.) Would Education Minister Peter Fassbender and his team continue their remake by amalgamating or eliminating school boards? Not likely. With a rare teacher settlement in place, trustees will have less incentive to grandstand. And their meetings may become something more than union beef sessions.

culls

Nearly half of all eligible voters in Summerland did not cast ballots in Saturday’s municipal election. Voter turnout in this election was 51 per cent. While this is much better than the 36.1 per cent turnout in 2011, it is still a disappointment. In Canada, we have the right to vote for our governments, at all levels. This is not the case in some parts of the world. Our right to vote is something which must not be taken lightly, in any election.

Local spending benefits community Dear Editor: Do you ever stop and wonder what happens to your money when you spend it? There is a term in economics called the multiplier effect. Essentially it

explains that one persons spending is another person’s income. When you spend $1 it multiplies because the next person spends a portion of it, and so on and so on.

Not to complicate things, but after dusting off my Economics textbook the formula goes something like this; If everyone spends 90 per cent of what they earn and saves 10 per cent, then the multiplier

effect of one dollar you spend will be 1/ (1 - 0.9) or a multiple of 10 times. Wow! Think about that; every dollar spent in this example is amplified 10 times. That dollar and subsequent portions

of it continue to be spent over and over again. This concept is usually discussed at a macro economic level, but it is relevant to a local economy, such as Summerland. When you make

the effort to stop at a roadside egg stand, it isn’t the value of the eggs, but 10 times the value of the eggs you pumped into the local economy. How can we as consumers best put the multiplier into

The early years

A harrowing corner

It must have been nerve-wracking for the occupants of this Greyhound bus when they rounded a corner and headed straight for the lake. The highway between Summerland and Penticton had been ploughed on this day in the 1940s but the slippery, snow-packed curves proved too much for the bus, though thankfully it didn’t reach the water. While the highway is much wider now and we’ve been enjoying clear skies and no snow, winter is just around the corner so please make sure you have good tires that will keep you on the road and prepared for whatever Old Man Winter throws our way. Drive safe.

Council must listen to public Dear Editor:

I would like to congratulate the newly elected mayor and council and appreciate their commitment to serve and represent the residents of Summerland over the next four years. I have a very simple message that, judging by the election results, voters didn’t believe the current council did that well: “This is our town, not council’s town. Hear what we have to say, listen carefully and act accordingly.” Good luck over the next four years and once again, thank you for your willingness to serve our community. Doug Wahl Summerland

effect for Summerland, The Okanagan, or B.C.? o Buy Local - the most obvious is to support businesses that are locally owned. o Be Vocal - if a store doesn’t have a local option that you know exists, ask them to carry it. o Think it Through — shopping at a local store is good. Buying the locally produced item is good. But where do the main ingredients from that locally produced item come from? Just because a company has a warehouse in the area doesn’t necessarily help the local farmer. o Be Aware - ask yourself, “is this purchase multiplying in my community?” o Challenge Yourself — what items do you buy that you haven’t explored the local option? Solutions to Summerland’s economic development challenges do not reside solely with our mayor and council. One transaction at a time, you can make a difference and it just might be 10 times more than you think. Todd Laidlaw Summerland

No savings from cheaper gas price Dear Editor: Re: High fuel prices at Summerland pumps, Nov. 13 Summerland Review. The writer stated, “The gas price in Summerland on Nov. 3 was $1.269 a litre and in Penticton it was $1.219 a litre. This is a huge difference and I wonder why. I have refused to

support the gas stations in Summerland and have filled up in Penticton and done my shopping there.” So I sat down and did some math to see how much of a saving it is to drive to Penticton and fill up on gas. The difference in price was five cents a litre, so if

you filled up with 40 litres of fuel, you would save yourself $2 (40 litres times five cents.) Let’s say you drive a fuel efficient car that gets 50 miles per Imperial gallon. That would convert to 5.6 litres per 100 kilometres. The distance between Summerland and

Penticton is 18 kilometres, so a round trip would be 36 kilometres. Driving that distance would use 2.01 litres of fuel. At the price of $1.21 a litre, it will cost $2.43 to go to Penticton ($1.21 times 2.01 litres used.) There is no savings on gas and if you drive a six-

or eight-cylinder vehicle, you will be losing more money. This also does not take into account the vehicle wear and tear. I suggest we support our local businesses. We’ll be saving time, money and the environment. Stan Hacking Summerland

Water metering must be implemented fairly Dear Editor: I can understand and accept that we should pay for the amount of water we consume on our property, but it should be done fairly for everyone. I received a letter from the Summerland Works and Utilities dated Oct. 29, stating that I will be charged $35.82 year round for water service and this will commence Dec. 31.

The second meter service will commence Jan. 1, 2015 if you choose to keep it. The meter issue has not even been settled yet and we are being charged for something that does not exist in a functioning mode. Some property owners have received a second water meter for irrigation use at no cost while others have been required

to pay $1,500 wich is totally unfair. I hope the new council will address this issue immediately and really explain what happened to cause this upset in the first place. In my view, the planning and cost of

the $20 million water treatment plant is not suitable for this community. For example, why are so many people buying drinking water? What does separating the system mean and if it is so important, why

was it not addressed in the previous planning when the house meters were installed? Anyone who wants to sign a petition with regard to the second meter contract, please contact me at mldunn@shaw.

Agricultural excellence

Surrounded by Pacific Agri-food Research Centre staff, Dr. Kenna MacKenzie, assistant director, research development and technology, holds the Century Farm Award. The centre received the award last Thursday in recognition of its agricultural research over the past 100 years.

Research Centre receives agricultural award above the tracks was for dry farming. In the years following, the centre has gone through numerous changes. At times, it has worked with beef and dairy cattle, poultry and sheep and even tobacco production in the 1920s. Throughout its history, the centre has been best known for its fruit research. Today, the cherry varieties developed in Summerland have a worldwide reputation.

Dr. Kenna MacKenzie, assistant director, research development and technology at the centre, said 75 to 80 per cent of cherry trees planted worldwide today have their origins in Summerland. Numerous apple varieties have been developed at the centre. The best known is the Spartan apple, a hybrid of the Macintosh and Newton apples. Work on this variety began in 1924.

In 1936, the commercial trial took place. Many other fruit varieties have come out of the centre’s research over the years. MacKenzie said fruit research is continuing and new varieties may reach consumers within the next five to 10 years. “The quality of fruit from here is better than anything I have had from anywhere else,” MacKenzie said. Other develop-

people at the centre, depending on the time of year. These include scientists, corporate management, students and others involved in agricultural research. In the years to come, MacKenzie said different crop varieties may be studied at the centre. She added that some of the future research will be at the molecular level, to gain a greater understanding of how the genome works.

For the past 100 years, the Pacific Agri-food Research Centre in Summerland has been helping farmers by developing new fruit varieties and improving farming methods. On Thursday, the centre received the Century Farm Award, in recognition of this service. “It really has made a difference in our food industry,” MLA Dan Ashton said. “It

has made a difference for so many lives around the world.” MP Dan Albas also acknowledged the work done at the centre over the years. “You all stand on the shoulders of a century of research,” he said. In 1914, the federal government purchased 162 hectares from Antoine Pierre for the centre. The portion below the railway tracks was for irrigated farming while the portion

Orchards recognized at National Apple Competition Four Summerland orchards received national recognition for their apples at the National Apple Competition in Toronto on the weekend. The competition is part of the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. “B.C. apples did great again this year in the national apple competition, a fitting tribute and a finale to the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Associa-

tion celebration of its 125th year,” said Fred Steele, president of the association. Billy and Shauna Boerboom of Windmill Orchards received first prize honours in the Jonagold category. The Boerbooms grow apples, pears and cherries on 5.26 hectares. They also have an on-site packing house and a fruit market. Steve Brown of

Happy Valley Harvest received second prize in the Gala category, while Julie Sardinha of Sardinha Orchards took third. Brown has been growing fruit with his father Bob Brown for more than 12 years. He has also worked as a field service representative with the B.C. Tree Fruits Co-op program. Sardinha has been involved with farm-

ing since 1981. She and her late husband Joe Sardinha took over his parents’ orchard in 1998 and began a massive replant at that time. Devin Jell of SunOka Fruit Farms received the first place award for Granny Smith apples and Ambrosia apples. He also won third in the Pink Lady category. In the Best Collection of Five Var-

ieties, he took second place with his assortment of Honeycrisp, Ambrosia, Aurora Golden Gala, Granny Smith and Pink Lady. In the heaviest apple category, he took first place honours. Jell has been farming a 10.5-hectare high-density apple orchard for seven years. His family has been farming in Summerland for more than 120 years.

of everything. Since I don’t need to tip, it isn’t expensive. However, gas stations have very short hours from what I’m used to. In smaller towns they open at 8 a.m. and close around 6 or 7 p.m. Weekends, they close even earlier. Every month, I receive my water, Internet, house phone, lunch, and electric bill through my Board of Education. To pay these, I can just go to a convenience store when convenient and pay them there. My kerosene heater gets automatically filled up about one time a year, and I pay that at the nearest gas station. The rest of my bills are automatically taken from my bank account. However,

going to the ATM is frustrating. Banks in Japan have ATM corners, separate from the bank like Canada has. The bank in Toyokoro closes at 3 p.m., while the ATM stays open until 5 p.m. Most people work past 5 p.m, making it impossible to get money after work. Since no place I’ve been yet accepts debit cards, this can make some events a bit worrying. In 7-Eleven stores in cities, they have 24-hour ATMs. However, most banks will only allow you to withdraw from your account until 9 p.m. Between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m., you cannot withdraw money. On Sundays, the hours are even earlier. So some things that are difficult in

Canada are extremely easy to do here, and vice versa! It took me a while to get used to some of these. Thanks for reading! Jaku niku kyo shoku – the weak are meat; the strong eat. Anna Marshall is in Summerland’s sister city of Toyokoro, Japan as the assistant English teacher.

Japan’s ATMs open for limited hours Throughout the past year, I have talked about the weather in Toyokoro and how in a lot of ways it is differs to Summerland weather. For example, we experience high humidity in the summer, and dryness in the winter. We have days in the summer where you can see for miles, and days in the fall where you struggle to see two feet in front of you due to heavy fog. In the winter, driving can be treacherous due to heavy snow on the west coast, and ice on the east coast. Once a week, I drive to a school that’s 20 minutes east of Toyokoro, which presides on the coast of the Pacific Ocean. That one day of the week I can always count on the weather being drastically different to the weather in Toyokoro. Despite this strange climate, we

Notes from toyokoro

Anna Marshall still haven’t had any snowfall, or even freezing this year. It almost feels like Summerland with the warmth that still hangs around. Since I’ve been here, one thing that Japan never fails to do, on an almost daily basis, is surprise me. For example, some daily things are much easier to do here while some are more difficult. When I need to get gas, have my oil changed, or have my car washed, its as easy as driving to the nearest gas station, sitting in the car, and letting the gas station attendants take care

Seasonal story will be presented The Summerland Singers and Players will present a dramatic reading of a well-loved holiday story next month. The reading of Charles Dickens’ novel, A Christmas Carol, will be held on Friday, Dec. 5 at 7:30 p.m. at Summerland United Church. Bob Read, president of Summerland Singers and Players, said this is the second year the reading will be presented. It is a fundraiser with all proceeds going to the Community Resource Centre. “We’re not doing a play version,” Read said. “We’re doing a reading and it is quite effective.” During the reading, scenes from the story will be pro-

jected onto a screen behind the readers. The evening is hosted by Dennis Walker of SO Country and features Mike Swanson of EZ Rock, Armand Houle, David Sparks, Don Gayton and Monica Keetch. Two choirs will present music during the evening. They are the United Church Chorus, conducted by Kathleen Estabrooks and the Summerland Children’s Choir, conducted by Linnea Good. Read said the organizers hope to make the reading a holiday tradition in Summerland. Tickets for the reading are available at Summerland United Church and at the Summerland Community Arts Centre.

Concert to benefit North African women Tracy Fehr and singers are once again bringing hope to North African women with their Voices in Song Christmas Benefit Concert on Saturday, Nov. 29. “We’ve been able to make a real difference in people’s lives with these benefit concerts,” Fehr said. Fehr has raised money for North African women through ACT, the Association for Cooperation in Tunisia. This nonprofit organization helps unwed mothers and marginalized women receive training and funds to set up small home-based businesses. She has been to North Africa three times to work with this organization and

will return early next year. While there, she hosts benefit concerts that receive much publicity and help ACT make new contacts with government and community agencies. “I’m looking forward to going back to help strengthen connections,” she said. “I’ll also meet the women and children who are new to the program, and those that we have recently helped.” Over the years, donations from the Voices in Song audience have assisted ACT in helping these young women and mothers set up homebased businesses such as weaving and baking. The organization has also raised

money to hire a counsellor to work with these women who are often suffering because of rape, family abuse, trauma and discrimination. The concert on Nov. 29 features Tracy Fehr, lyric coloratura soprano, as well as senior students from her studio. It will be held at Lakeside Presbyterian Church, 5505 Butler Dr., beginning at 7 p.m. Accompanists are Dennis Nordlund on piano and Elizabeth Lupton on violin and viola. Tickets and can be purchased at the Penticton and District Arts Council, from Tracy Fehr at 250486-5073 or tljfehr@ gmail.com or at the door.

Royalty program involves long commitment by Carla McLeod Special to the Review

Blossom time may seem like a long way off, but the coordinators of the Blossom Pageant are already preparing for the pageant weekend. Karen Hooper, or “Mother Karen” as the girls call her, is serving as a volunteer coordinator for the eighth year in a row. She started out as a parent volunteer. Both of her daughters have been past pageant contestants. Hooper is joined by two other volunteer coordinators, Leanne Sieben for the fourth year and Pat Gartrell for the third. “As a team we work very well together. We’ve all got different strengths,” said Hooper. “It is a lot of work, but it is very

Pageant candidates

Blossom Pageant coordinators and candidates gathered in the basement of the Summerland Baptist Church recently to bake apple pies, filling prepaid orders. The pies are sold to raise money for the pageant. Pictured behind the girls from left are pageant coordinators Karen Hooper, Pat Gartrell and Leanne Sieben. Candidates from left are Melane Martens, Taylor Arkesteyn, Martha Headland, Erin Sorensen, Chantal Ashton, Julia Fotherby, Makenzie Vandertoolen, Emily Jerry, Emma Thomson and Elia Rodriguez.

THANK YOU

to my supporters at the polls andand during in our future I my campaign. est my energy, time, Congratulations to the new of Summerland. Summerland Council, I wish Authorized by Barbara Robson, Financial Agent 250.494.1504 you success as you prepare to meet all the challenges facing us over the next 4 years.

in themselves and in public speaking. It’s a skill they will use for their entire lives.” This same sentiment was echoed by Sieben. “What I enjoy most about working with these young women is watching them grow into confident young women…to be able to speak confidently and function in situations that they would not normally put themselves into,” she said. As a parent, Gartrell saw the value of this personal development program. Four of her five daughters took part in the pageant over the years. “I believe the program offers so many opportunities for young women to develop their selfconfidence and to experience growth when they have the courage to step outside of their comfort zone,” she explained. The Blossom

Pageant is an eightmonth program for Grade 11 girls. It not only builds confidence and self-esteem but also teaches life skills. The three candidates chosen as Summerland’s Royalty spend the following year as youth ambassadors, travelling throughout the province promoting Summerland as a great place to live, work and visit. The pageant coordinators visit the high school in June to recruit candidates. This gives those who may be interested the summer to find a sponsor. They then submit their application at the follow up meeting which is held at the start of the next school year. “We have nine candidates and nine sponsors this year,” said Hooper. “Five of the sponsors are new. It’s great to get different businesses and service clubs

involved.” The candidates meet weekly on Monday evenings. “Each Monday we either go somewhere different or we have presenters come to the meeting,” Hooper said. The program relies on volunteers from the community to teach the candidates life skills, such as car care, fitness, etiquette, deportment, speech writing, public speaking and even dance. They also learn about Summerland’s history, municipal politics and tourism. “We could not do any of this without the huge support we get from the community year after year,” Hooper said. “All the money we use in the pageant is fundraised money. Sponsors pay a $275.00 sponsorship fee, but that goes directly to the candidate.” This buys the girl

one outfit which consists of a skirt, blouse, nylons, shoes, banner and name tag. In order to raise funds, the coordinators and candidates bake and sell apple pies, sell tickets to a tea and fashion show and sell tickets to the pageant itself. The coordinators put a program book together that is also sold at the pageant. “The candidates sell the ads and we make the book and submit it to be printed,” said Hooper. “It is very time consuming.” Money raised throughout the year goes towards the travelling costs of the crowned royalty.

These three coordinators also send out pageant invitations to royalty in every B.C. community. They write the script and decorate for pageant night, acquire judges and hold dress rehearsals. They work with parents to plan a pageant dance and with the Kiwanis for a pancake breakfast. Most importantly they are there to provide the candidates with emotional support throughout the year. When the blossoms bloom in 2015, the 45th annual Blossom Pageant will be held at Centre Stage Theatre on May 1 and 2.

Thank you from Bruce Hallquist and family To all my supporters and municipal staff over the past several years. It has been a privilege to serve my community! Best wishes to the new Council!

MORRIS, DOUGLAS GRAHAM September 10, 1937 to November 10, 2014

Doug slipped away peacefully, with his loving wife, Zoe and his best friend Dwight holding his hands. Born in Edmonton, he went to Riverdale School and Victoria Composite High School. He worked at Swift Canadian Company in sales until he moved to the west coast in 1966. There he embarked on a career in the photography field, opening Color Tone Prolab Inc. in New Westminster, which he ran for 27 years, winning many awards for his outstanding work. His quick wit and keen sense of humour will be long remembered by those who knew him. Doug retired to Summerland in 1997 and took up golf, going to the gym, being a grocery shopper extraordinaire and just being with friends. He was predeceased by his mother Cora, father Samuel and sister Jeannette. He will be sadly missed by his beloved wife Zofia (Zoe) of 53 years, pet cat Sunflower, his golfing buddies, all the birds and animals that he so dearly loved, as well as many friends.

Summerland Review Thursday November 20, 2014

Festival activities planned In just over a week downtown Summer land will be full of people celebrating the 27th Annual Fes tival of Lights. Downtown will definitely be alive with activity as the Summerland Cham ber is expecting 6,000 locals and visitors for this great family event. Cel e brat ing the theme Christ mas Rocks, down town Summerland will be transformed into a holiday wonderland as downtown streets are filled with street performers and many activities for children including Santa’s work shop, pony rides, ATV rides, bouncy castles and an opportunity for pho tos with Santa. In addition, Sum merland United Church is hosting a KidZone where you can make your own CD or craft, a Quiet Zone, photo ops and more. Elsewhere downtown there will be three ice carving stations and an Art Show and Sale by the

And at the Arts Centre Seasons Spar kles where you’ll find paintings, fibre art, pot tery, jewellery, cards, home decor, original handmade gift items and much more. Sea sons Sparkles will be at the Arts Centre until Dec. 20 and is open daily except Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Why cook at home when you can partake of great food from street vendors or get some mac and cheese and soup at Summer land United Church, chili at the IOOF Hall or something from one of our downtown restaurants. This year Light Up welcomes Vancou ver rock band, Damn Fools.
