Highway accident
John Arendt Summerland Review
Paramedics prepare to transport a passenger who was injured in a two-vehicle collision on Highway 97 early Monday evening. The highway was closed at Jones Flat Road while emergency crews attended the scene.
Land swap vote on Dec. 1 Motion to scrap controversial plan on agenda for inaugural meeting of new council by John Arendt A decision to rescind Summerland’s controversial land exchange will be the first order of business once the new municipal council takes office on Monday. Mayor elect Peter Waterman said the resolution will be on the agenda at the Dec. 1 meeting. During the election campaign, he had
announced that if elected the first order of business for the new council would be a recommendation to withdraw the application before the Agricultural Land Commission. The municipality’s proposed Urban Growth Plan called for the removal of 80.34 hectares of land within the Agricultural Land Reserve near the core of the community. In exchange, 91.7 hectares in the Prairie Valley area would be added to the land reserve. The application is now before the Agricultural Land Commission.
As a member of the outgoing council, Waterman was the sole member opposed to the land exchange. The land exchange was needed for the new growth plan. Municipalities in British Columbia are required to have a plan in place to accommodate future growth. “There are a number of options that can be discussed,” municipal planner Ian McIntosh said. “We’ll see what council’s direction is.” Waterman said the municipality will revert to the growth plan in the existing Official Com-
munity Plan for now. Summerland’s community plan, adopted in 2008, received council support in a 4-3 Peter decision. Waterman Amendments were later made, in 2009 and 2010. Waterman said growth can be accommodated by infilling and through subdivisions which are ready to go. The Wharton Street project would also provide development close to the downtown core.
In the past decade, two developers have expressed a strong interest in a development for Wharton Street, at the site of the existing museum and library. “There’s potential. It just takes the right conditions,” Waterman said. During the election campaign, other members elected to the new council had also stated their opposition to the plan. Work on the Urban Growth Plan began early in 2013 and came to public hearing early this year, after roughly a year of preparation.
Funds available for replant program The provincial government is investing $8.4 million over the next seven years for the fruit tree replant program. Under the program, fruit growers can apply for grant funding beginning on April 1 until the 2021 season.
According to provincial estimates, more than 600 hectares will be replanted during the program. This will provide an estimated 2,600 jobs annually in the Okanagan. “This program extension ensure that growers will be able
to continue to produce a widevariety of fruits from cherries, stone fruits and unique B.C. apple varieties which are known around the world for their quality and exceptional taste,” said Penticton MLA Dan Ashton.
In 2013, B.C. fruit growers produced Canada’s second largest tree fruit crop, worth almost $103 million. The application and criteria will be available on the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association website.

At various times in past years, various churches and businesses have hosted community Christmas dinners. Mirjana Komljenovic, community coordinator for NeighbourLink said a similar event was considered, but during a recent NeighbourLink board meeting, the matchup concept was suggested as an alternative. “We can link neighbours, and that’s what NeighbourLink is all about,” Komljenovic said. Since the concept
was introduced, several families have already offered to open up their homes for the day. Those who participate are asked to provide information about the presence of pets, whether their home is smoke-free and whether alcohol will be served. This information is used to ensure a good match between hosts and guests. Names will be accepted until Dec. 20. After that time, the hosts will contact the guests to make arrangements for the Dec. 25 meal.

Council members reflect on decisions by John Arendt
It was an emotional time of goodbyes on Monday morning as members of Summerland’s outgoing municipal council reflected on their time at the table. The meeting is the last before the newly elected municipal council is sworn in on Dec. 1. Coun. Peter Waterman, who was elected as mayor in the Nov. 15 election, is the only member of the previous council to return to the table. Coun. Martin Van Alphen, Coun. Robert Hacking and Coun. Bruce Hallquist were unsuccessful in their re-election efforts, as
was Coun. Orv Robson in his bid for the mayor’s position. Outgoing mayor Janice Perrino and Coun. Lloyd Christopherson did not seek re-election. “Three years to serve the community has been a pleasure and a real learning experience,” Van Alphen said. ‘I think we’ve accomplished a lot. “It has been a wonderful challenge,” Robson said. “We did accomplish some significant hurdles.” Christopherson thanked the members of municipal staff for their dedication. “Our staff is absolutely awesome,” he said.
Hacking said he appreciated the opportunity to serve the community for the past three years. “I wish I could do that for a lot longer,” he said. “This has been a very excellent experience.” Hallquist, who has served on council at various times for 40 years, said his time at the table has been rewarding. “I have to say that the last two councils that I have been on were without a doubt the most productive, enjoyable councils that I have participated in,” he said. Perrino said the past council has had many successes over the years. “Whether you are
s
looking at roads, the RCMP detachment, the dozens of policy changes, staff changes, a new industrial area and the addition of services like transit that took us 15 years to bring to this community, we have done many things to improve Summerland and take it forward into the future,” she said. Waterman, who will assume the mayor’s role on Dec. 1, said the past council has been productive. “I appreciate the leadership you’ve shown for this council,” he said to Perrino. “We’ve achieved a great deal of good for the community.”

Documentary examines threat from mussels by Richard Rolke Black Press
An Okanagan native is picking up a camera and joining the fight against a looming invader. Brynne Morrice, who grew up in Vernon and is an actor in New York City, is filming the documentary, The Threat of Zebra Mussels in B.C. “This is really a story that needs to be told,” he said during an interview from New York. It was during a visit to the Okanagan two years ago that he became aware of the possibility of zebra and quagga mussels, which originate from Europe, tak-
ing hold in the valley and changing the ecosystem. “I was curious and looked it up. I became concerned. If it gets into our lakes and rivers, it will be devastating,” he said. Morrice decided to tap into his skills as an actor and a producer and launch a documentary along with his sister Eilidh Morrice-Ashdown and filmmaker Crystal Arnette. For Morrice, it’s important to show the damage quagga and zebra mussels have already caused across North America. “Once zebra and quagga mussels arrive in a lake or

river, they spread and colonize rapidly, with a single female spawning over 1,000,000 eggs per year. Colonies of mussels very quickly cover every hard surface in the lake,” states the donation
appeal on Kickstarter. Most of the B.C. filming for the documentary is completed and interviews were done with a number of individuals and the Okanagan Basin Water Board, which wants government
to install inspection stations at B.C. borders to stop musselinfested boats from entering. It’s anticipated the documentary will be completed in January and then it will be posted on the Internet.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...
A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company
The Wills, Estates and Succession Act You may have heard in the news that BC is changing the law regarding Wills, Estates and Probate. After a very long time-consuming process, lawmakers in BC have created the Act referred to above. It is a new and improved consolidation of the various statutes that dealt with this area of law previously. The Act is scheduled to come into force on March 31, 2014. Most people’s existing wills are not affected by the changes in legislation as the lawmakers concentrated more on updating Estate and Probate procedures. That is not to say that there are not any changes however. One very important change is with respect to how joint ownership of real property and bank accounts is dealt with in the event that both joint owners pass away at the same time. In the rare circumstance where that occurs and it cannot be determined who passed away first, a very different distribution of the joint asset will occur from what had been the law previously. It is always a good idea to review your will on a regular basis. This new legislation is a very good reason to review your existing will and estate plan. A Lawyer specializing in Wills and Estates can answer any questions you might have.

our pick
Places for growth When the newly elected municipal council takes office on Dec. 1, the first order of business will be a resolution to rescind a controversial land application. The application, before the provincial Agricultural Land Commission, calls for the removal of 80.34 hectares from the Agricultural Land Reserve near the downtown core, while 91.7 hectares in the Prairie Valley area would be added to the land reserve. Since this land exchange was presented, many in the community have expressed their outrage about it. During the election campaign in October and November, opposition to the land exchange was a key point for many candidates. Several of those who were elected had promised to vote to rescind the application to the Agricultural Land Commission. Scrapping the land plan is clearly the direction Summerland voters wanted from the new council. It makes sense for the new council to hold this vote as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, a decision to rescind the land swap application might not be sufficient. While such a decision will put an end to a plan which raised the ire of many in Summerland, it is not necessarily the end of discussions and debates about future growth. In British Columbia, municipalities are required to have growth plans in place. Without proposed Urban Growth Plan, council is left with the direction for growth from the 2008 Official Community Plan. That plan identified the Prairie Valley area as the key site for future growth. If the existing plan is considered workable for Summerland’s future needs, the matter is resolved. If not, the new council will be faced with the unenviable task of creating a plan which can accommodate growth.
NeighbourLink’s plan for Summerland’s Great Christmas MatchUp will help to make the holiday season a little less lonely for some in the community. Match-up organizers will connect host families with guests who would like a place to go for a holiday dinner. This event can be a good holiday experience for those participating. It can also help to connect people who might not otherwise spend the holiday together.
Liquor changes could push up prices VICTORIA – When the B.C. government announced its latest changes to liquor distribution, the reaction was not what I expected. Private store representatives complained bitterly that the government is allowing further expansion of fridges and “cold rooms” in selected government liquor stores, and longer operating hours that include more Sunday open- Tom Fletcher ings. Those hours, along with non-union staff, are the private stores’ big advantages as things stand in B.C.’s hybrid liquor retailing system. The B.C. Government Employees’ Union didn’t seem at all perturbed that state-run stores’ key advantage was also going to be gone effective April 1. That would be preferential wholesale pricing, in which the government’s monopoly wholesaler sells to them at cost and to private stores at higher rates. How much higher? Liquor Distribution Branch officials were carefully vague on that, and it varies depending on which of the 22 wholesale categories you look at. They released a graph that suggests the average wholesale cost to government stores might be going up 10 to 15 per cent to create a “level playing field” with private stores. That wholesale price differ-
ence is the main reason private stores have generally higher retail prices. And the majority of the province’s revenue of nearly $1 billion a year comes from this monopoly wholesale business, where the hidden tax is coyly termed a “markup.” When the new, simplified system comes in next spring, a bottle of hard liquor will have a “mark-up” of 124 per cent. That’s right, LDB more than doubles the price with its wholesale liquor tax. And if it’s premium booze, anything valued at more than $21 a litre will get an extra luxury tax on top of that. Coolers and ciders will see a 73 per cent mark-up. Wines are taxed at 89 per cent, with extra luxury tax on premium wines. Beer gets a per-litre tax with ascending rates for small, medium and large breweries. Then of course there is federal and provincial sales tax applied to all of it. Cheers! Premier Christy Clark acknowledged that the first guiding principle of this overhaul is to keep that government revenue coming. The new BCGEU president, Stephanie Smith, doesn’t sound like your bullhorn-toting socialist of yore. She insists she’s gung-ho to compete head to head with those private interlopers and get back some lost market share, particularly on the highvolume cold beer sales. The union has another ace in the hole.
Its current contract stipulates that LDB can’t close stores. In some small towns there are government stores that lose money, particularly since they’ve had more private competition. But at least for the duration of this BCGEU contract, the government retail arm will continue to operate in some places as a perverse social program, subsidizing retail clerk jobs that pay nearly twice what private retail pays. And let’s face it, running a till at a liquor store is not rocket surgery. Private and government store staff have to take the same training, and liquor inspector sting operations have increased vigilance on ID checks in all stores. With higher wholesale prices applied to government stores, this kind of artificial support will cost more. The only way LDB could maintain it without subsidizing it from the wholesale windfall would be to raise retail prices. The LDB says this new simplified system is “not intended to impact consumer pricing.” Note the careful choice of words. Oh, one last thing. There is another new tax in the works. It will be applied to higheralcohol beverages, in an effort to reduce adverse health effects. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @ tomfletcherbc.

culls
There are too many accidents on Highway 97 through Summerland. On Monday early in the evening, emergency crews were called following a twovehicle collision near Jones Flat Road. The accident was serious enough that ambulance crews were needed. An accident near the same intersection earlier this fall resulted in a fatality. These incidents are disturbing and they are happening far too often.

Road work resulted in race track Dear Editor: I live on the New Improved Prairie Valley Road Express and Race Track. The thousands of dollars spent on this thing have now made racing there much easier. I’ve spoken to the last
mayor and the RCMP about putting a speed trap in my driveway, before someone is killed, again, but it falls on deaf ears. This new sidewalk/bike path runs in front of my house where I lose seven feet of yard
and now have a pile of gravel they left for me to deal with. By the way, this “sidewalk” to make things safer runs west about 200 yards to the most dangerous road to walk on in the town. It just ends. Logging trucks start at 2:30
a.m. to about 6 p.m. and no one follows the speed limit. Even the contractors working on the road, who by the way were great, even they were terrified at the speed people drive on that road. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars spent on the circles and this road now being destroyed by huge trucks and racing cars. Really, I never complain about things like this, but this is nuts. George Morrison Summerland

In the 1950s and 60s the arrival of Christmas was heralded by the appearance of the nativity scene just below the Steven house at the west end of Main Street. The large figures were created by the Art Club with the co-operation of the Municipal Works department. The residents of the home graciously allowed the use of their yard, going so far as to endure covered windows when the display grew and the floodlights lit up the entire side of the house. With the construction of taller buildings below the scene, visibility became limited and the Main Street Nativity was retired. However, while the floodlights are gone, the streets of Summerland still manage to brightly announce the pending Yuletide. Don’t miss the 27th Annual Festival of Lights tomorrow, Friday Nov. 28. See you there.
Dear Editor: There is something very foul in the State of the District of Summerland, which operates a perfectly functioning website but has not published the election results for mayor and council after 48 hours. If I can ride my invalid scooter in subzero temperature to the voting place, then the least they can do is look at the results, and let the public know about the results by publishing on the website.

Kiwanis Club active within the community
Dear Editor: I am a Kiwanis member and have been for just over two years. I am hoping this open letter will explain more about Kiwanis and encourage you to join us. When I joined Kiwanis, I had no
idea what Kiwanis was about or what its goals were. Since that time, I have learned that Kiwanis is a worldwide organization and helps children all over the world. We sponsor three different hospital programs that are
researching cancer in children. They have found in their research that children’s cancer cures will help adults as well as children. We sponsor the Elimination Project, working to save the lives of infants and mothers worldwide
with the goal of eliminating maternal neonatal tetanus which can quickly turn the joy of childbirth into tragedy. We apply for gaming funds which we share with many service clubs in the Summerland area that are working to help chil-
dren within the community. Some of those programs are the Breakfast Club, a candidate for the Summerland Royalty Pageant, Summerland Asset Development Initiative, NeighbourLink, Read to Me, Girl Guides, B.C. Guide
Dogs and many more. We also hold pancake breakfasts during the spring and summer to secure extra funds to help where there is a need. If some of you are thinking, what can I do to contribute to
our community, we would love to have you join us. There are many levels of service and we know you are all busy, but come and give us a try. Come and join Kiwanis. Irene Johnston Summerland
Dear Editor: The ladies of Summerland Faith Rebekah Lodge would like to thank everyone who attended their successful Annual Fall

The DLR receives thousands of applications to participate in this program, and the Dance Team was privileged to have been accepted. The team not only represented Summerland School of Dance; they also represented Disney. “The students, parents and teachers had such a wonderful time,” Goss said. “This is the first time that Summerland School of Dance has ever participated in this program, and we are all so proud to have represented our town of Summerland.”

The students participated in a DLR Youth dance workshop with Shelly Nichols who has been with Disney for more than 30 years. She was an inspiration for the Summerland students. It was a lot of work getting to Disney with the team raising funds to offset the costs of the trip, and many hours of rehearsing.

Flu vaccine less effective against new strain strain – Skowronksi says everyone should wash their hands frequently and avoid touching their eyes, nose and mouth.
People who get the flu shot often mistakenly think any illness they contract can’t be flu and sometimes fail to get appro-
priate treatment. “It doesn’t make you invincible,” Skowronski said. Anti-viral medication can stop or
fight an influenza infection but must be given quickly, ideally within 12 hours of the start of symptoms. An estimated 3,500
Canadians die each year from flu complications – mainly seniors and others with underlying conditions.

This year’s flu shot may prove less effective than usual because the dominant virus now circulating has mutated significantly in the months since the vaccine was devised. The H3N2 strain – one of three targeted in this year’s flu vaccine – is thought to have changed its genetic makeup enough to possibly thwart the antibodies that the vaccine activates. Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an epidemiologist with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, is still recommending the vaccine, particularly for the elderly, the chronically ill and those with compromised immune systems. “It’s not a perfect match,” she said. “But for the high risk, even an imperfectly matched vaccine is going to give cross protection. And for some people it could be life-saving.” She said the H3N2 strain tends to be particularly nasty to the elderly and may
bring a deadlier flu season than usual. “We may see more hospitalizations or deaths this year,” Skowronski said. She said it’s particularly concerning that the flu has struck B.C. surprisingly early this season, causing outbreaks in eight seniors’ care homes. The vaccine was formulated last February because it takes six to eight months to produce in large quantities and the H3N2 virus is thought to have since mutated while circulating in the southern hemisphere. Skowronski said it’s still not too late to get the shot and some protection when flu activity peaks in the weeks ahead, including any later surge of cases of influenza B, which tends to peak in March or April. The vaccine also targets the influenza B and H1N1 viruses, but they’re considered less likely to cause illness this flu season. Even in years when the vaccine is a better fit – last year’s was about 70 per cent effective against the then-dominant H1N1

Ask Your Dentist... Q: My front teeth are shorter than they were when I was younger. They don’t bother me, but is there a problem?
A: We use our teeth everyday, so you would think they would wear quite Dr. Cindee Melashenko
a bit. However, the normal wear rate for our teeth is about 1 mm every 100 years (so very little indeed). Most of us would not notice a 1 mm reduction on our teeth, so likely you have more than average, unless you’re over 200 years old! There are a few possible reasons for our teeth to wear down. Most damage to the enamel (or outer protective layer) is done during the day. Some people clench or squeeze their teeth together when they are concentrating which can cause enamel loss. This often becomes a habit that we are not aware of. Once the enamel is lost, the way our teeth fit together changes a n d possibly also affects our joint. Changes to your TMJ or joint can vary from uncomfortable to downright painful. Teeth can also wear at night due to grinding, although the amount of force that we put our teeth at night is a lot less than during the day. Night grinding may be caused by an airway issue (difficulty in breathing at night). Options for corrective treatment range from a simple night guard, filling in missing enamel, orthodontics to prevent further wear, or crowns to rebuild missing enamel. Most treatment can be done in stages to make it easier to accomplish. Detecting why the enamel was lost will determine what treatment is best for you.

ization made up of approximately 175 members. Earnings from the store are contributed to community health care services. The shop itself is operated much like any retail business. Policy and procedures are determined at the executive level by the board members and the day to day operations are carried out by management and staff. In the case of the thrift shop, the differences are, the work at every level is done by volunteers and the products sold are donated. Val Carriere enjoys her job as head convener of the store. She ensures there are enough volunteers scheduled each day and that things run smoothly. She deals with any minor problems that may arise, for customers or volunteers. “It’s a lot of work,” she said. “You’ve got to keep everyone happy.” Wes Campbell is the president of the auxiliary and also is the lead pricer for the five pricing crews. They start at 5:30 a.m., Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Bags and boxes of donated items are opened, inspected, sorted and priced. Clothing is checked to make sure there are no rips or stains and that zippers work and pockets are empty. Clothes that are out of season

are boxed and stored away, for the seasonal crews, who work on Tuesdays and Thursdays, to bring out at the appropriate time of year. Items such as puzzles, books, household goods and toys are all priced by volunteers that are in charge of each category. Any donation that may be considered antique, is set aside for the “Antique Lady” to price and display. There is a policy in place that restricts any of the volunteers from purchasing these higher quality goods until the store is open and the customers have had a chance to come in. The merchandise in the store is rotated on a regular basis. Price tickets are colour coded, with a different colour being used each week. If
something has not sold within three weeks it is removed from the floor. Non saleable items are passed on to a network of other charities in neighbouring communities. “We really make an effort to not put out anything that is stained or ripped or otherwise looks like it has been through a hundred washes,” said Berit Hack. “We want to have good quality merchandise, because that is what brings people back.” Hack also explained that the store has to pay to have their garbage removed. She encourages people to check the website to see what can and cannot be donated. “There are a lot of things that people drop off that should be going to the landfill,” she said. “We want things that are

Even though the Health Care Auxiliary has a large number of members, they are always looking for more volunteers, because they also provide volunteers to host the eye surgery clinics, the visiting program at the extended care and the Candy striper Program. Campbell said that many of their volunteers are in their 70s and 80s. “We could really use some young volunteers. Young for us is 60,” he quipped. He said he would encourage others to join, because “it’s such a happy place to work.” Volunteer, Diana Bennest agrees. “It’s the best social club in town,” she said. For more information on how to join and what can be donated go to summerlandhealthcareauxiliary.com.
Stephanie Schales, owner of 8th Generation Vineyard, presented a cheque for $4,730 to Mirjana Komljenovic, office manager of Agur Lake Camp Society. The money came from donations by customers plus the ice wine tasting fee charged this summer. “That’s close to enough to finish cabin number three,” Komljenovic exclaimed on seeing the size of the cheque. ALCS, a charitable organization, had two cabins in operation, plus a trailer, last summer. Located 20 kilometres west of Summerland, the camp serves family
groups that have members with special needs. It is a totally accessible wilderness camp. 8th Generation Vineyard has three estates for growing grapes in the Okanagan, producing 5000 cases of wine a year. They make both white and red wines, as well as ice and sparkling wines. Though they have been operating in Canada less than a decade, the family tradition of wine making dates back 230 years in Germany. Schales said about their donation that they want to give back to a community that has been good to them.

clean and gently used. We don’t appreciate getting things that really should have gone into the garbage.” Campbell said “Ninety per cent of the donations we get we can use. We try not to throw anything away.” The importance of dropping off donations between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. was stressed. “We can make sure there are people here to take the donations inside, rather than leaving them out overnight,” Campbell explained. “We appreciate the donations,” said Carriere. “We wouldn’t be here without them.” “The community has been really great to us with donations and how they’ve supported the Thrift Shop,” added Campbell.

Rodgers’ music featured in TV special
Paul Rodgers, singer and songwriter with Bad Company and Free, will team up with figure skating’s top medalists and world champions. Skaters including Meryl Davis and Charlie White, Brian Boitano, Ilia Kulik, Elena Leonova and Andrei Khvalko, Evan Lysacek and others have recorded a television special, Pandora Unforgettable Holiday Moments on Ice, which will air this Sunday, Nov. 30 in the afternoon. Lou Gramm of Foreigner will also perform.
In the television special, Rodgers performs six of his hits. “I really felt a connection with the figure skaters,” he said. “As we were playing their bodies interpreted the songs’ beats, rhythms and lyrics so powerfully and gracefully. It was off the charts wow factor to be at ice level to witness them flying, soaring and spinning across the ice.” Paul Rodgers has resided in Canada since 1998 and is now a Canadian citizen. He lives in Summerland.

Kripps earns gold finish Black Press Canada’s top four-man bobsleigh piloted by Justin Kripps appears to be firing on all cylinders after handily winning the gold medal in a final tune-up race on Sunday prior to the start of the World Cup season. The 27-year-old Olympian captured top spot on the podium in the first race of a four-man double-header at the North America’s Cup race at WinSport’s Canada Olympic Park. Kripps, of Summerland, and his crew of Edmonton’s Bryan Barnett, Saskatoon’s Ben Coakwell, and Tim Randall, of Bur-
lington, Ont., clocked the fastest runs at 54:73 and 54:92 on each of his two blasts down the 14-corner track for a winning time of 1:49.65. “I have some new crew members this year and some are pushing from different spots so we are just continuing to work on our starts together,” said Kripps in a release. “The goal this year is multiple podiums and to get my first medal in four-man.” Kripps, who did not compete in the second race Sunday, enjoyed a breakthrough season in 2014 where he won his first World Cup two-man race in Konigssee, Ger-

The Summerland Secondary School Senior Boy Rockets tip off their 2014-2015 basketball season this Wednesday, Dec. 3. The boys host Keremeos at 6:30 p.m. in an exhibition game with the senior girls to play earlier at 5 p.m. It is also a schoolwide spirit day as students will be dressed in team colours and the games will feature a fundraiser for the Summerland Food Bank. Entrance to both games is by donation. This year’s boys team has good balance: seven Grade 11 players and six Grade 12s including captains Abhi Lekhi and Gurek Rathore.
“This team possesses a lot of talent and team work,” Lekhi said. “Our passion should allow us to do incredible things this year.” Coach Dave Stathers said the Rockets will play in the South-Central Zone with competition from top-ranked Oliver, Princess Margaret from Penticton and George Elliot from Winfield. Three of the four teams will qualify for the Okanagan Valley Championships in February. “We have a good chance if all the right pieces come together at the right time,” Stathers said. For basketball fans and grads, the annual Christmas Alumni games are scheduled for Saturday, December 27 at the Summerland Secondary School Gym.

The Penticton Western News has Routes available in these areas for Wednesday & Friday:
• Summerland KELBERT, EDGAR RICHARD July 23, 1941 - November 9, 2014
It is with deep sadness that the family of Edgar Kelbert announce the sudden passing of their husband and father at home on November 9, 2014. Edgar was born in Swan River, MB and in 1966 moved to Flin Flon, MB where he raised his family and spent his working years. In 2002, Edgar and his wife Lillian relocated to Summerland, BC to enjoy their retirement. Edgar was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing, snowmobiling and ATVing. He was instrumental in starting the Summerland ATV Club, and was an active member until his sudden passing. His other passion was sports, in particular hockey. He was actively involved with the Penticton Vees Hockey Club as a season ticket holder and billet family. He is survived by his wife Lillian, son Kevin (Michelle) West Kelowna, BC., daughters Lana (Jason) Edmonton, AB., Jewel (Dave) Saskatoon, SK.; and grandchildren Taylor, Daniel, Logan, Layne, Rowan and Eric. Edgar is also survived by his three brothers, Walter (Holly) Kelbert, David (Sheila) Kelbert, Garry (Shelley) Kelbert and two sisters, Betty (Doug) Cole and Sharon (Bill) Barnes as well as several nieces and nephews. A celebration of life is planned for May long weekend 2015 in co-ordination with the Summerland ATV Club. Donations to a charity of your choice will be greatly appreciated.
Your papers would be dropped at your home early in the morning for you to deliver, which leaves the rest of the day free.

Festive season events begin This weekend marks the official kickoff to a whole range of Christmas and holiday traditions. First up is, of course, the annual Festival of Lights. This is followed by the fourth annual Light Up The Vines on Saturday and Sunday organized by the Bottleneck Drive association. Sunday will see also a musical extravaganza as Musaic, the Tuneagers, Naramata Community Choir, the Penticton Secondary Concert Choir and the Penticton United Sanctuary Choir perform at 2:30 p.m. at Penticton United Church. In the evening there will be a benefit concert at Lakeside Presbyterian Church featuring an evening of Christmas music with proceeds going to help mothers and women in North Africa. Next Wednesday the always popular Penticton Tune-Agers choir and orchestra will be at Summerland United Church for a lively Christmas concert entitled “Who’s Coming to Town???” On Dec. 7, the gym at Summerland Middle School will be filled with Christmas music as choirs from local churches gather for the annual Choir Fest. Musaic will be presenting their annual seasonal music concert a few days later at St. John’s Lutheran Church.
Arts PAlette
David Finnis They will perform a rich mix of music including Gordon Lightfoot’s Song for a Winter’s Night and a choral medley from the Disney animated film Frozen. You’ll also want

The following week the Peachland Players Society present The Christmas Bus at 4th Street Place in Peachland. The B.C. Boys Choir are at the Cleland Theatre Dec. 5 and the Penticton Concert Band performs Dec. 9 at Penticton United Church. Full details on
all these musical events can be found on posters around town, in the What’s Up column in the Review or on the Event Calendar on the Art Council’s website and by subscribing to the weekly e-Palette.
