Facing charges

Mark Brett Black Press

Officers of the BC Sheriff Services lead Gregory Stanley Nield, 30, of Summerland to a waiting vehicle at the back of the Penticton provincial courthouse Dec. 9 after he was remanded by a judge for a 30-day psychiatric assessment. Nield is facing two charges in connection with the alleged assault of a Penticton psychiatrist Dec. 5 at Penticton Regional Hospital.

Doctor ‘lucky to be alive’ after attack Summerland man charged with assault by Joe Fries Black Press A local psychiatrist is “lucky to be alive” after he was allegedly attacked Friday afternoon while interviewing a patient at Penticton Regional Hospital. Summerland man Gregory Stanley Nield, 30, has since been charged with assault causing bodily harm and aggravated assault. He made his first appearance at the Penticton courthouse on Tuesday where the court ordered a 30-day psychiatric assessment to be completed at the Forensic Psychiatric Institute in Port Coquitlam. Nield looked at family and friends at the back of the courtroom for most of his brief appearance. Through his lawyer he apologized for his appearance stating, “he normally doesn’t look like that.”

Nield had been featured several times for his achievements in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Penticton RCMP said in a press release that officers were called to the hospital because a patient “had attacked a doctor and was continuing to cause problems,” and Nield was later arrested without incident. Police said the victim suffered a broken jaw and other facial injuries as a result of the attack. Court documents identify the victim as Dr. Rajeev Sheoran, whose Linkedin profile describes him as a self-employed consultant psychiatrist. Interior Health CEO Robert Halpenny said Sheoran was conducting a one-onone interview with Nield in the PRH psychiatric unit when there was a “violent altercation,” and Sheoran was “seriously injured” and taken to Kelowna General

Hospital for treatment. Gayle Duteil, president of the B.C. Nurses’ Union, painted a more grim picture. “We won’t go into specific details, but the doctor is lucky to be alive,” she told a separate news conference Monday. Duteil said the incident “highlights the dangerous lack of security in B.C.’s psychiatric and forensic facilities.” She called on Interior Health to provide personal alarms to medical staff at PRH and post dedicated security guards in the psychiatric unit. Halpenny said staff and patient safety is a priority, and a full investigation is already underway in conjunction with the RCMP and WorkSafeBC. He said Nield did not appear to present an exceptional threat. Nield is scheduled to appear via video in Penticton court on Jan. 7.

The proposed land swap is over. On Monday evening, municipal council voted to withdraw the application to adjust the Agricultural Land Reserve boundaries in Summerland. The plan had called for the removal of 80.34 hectares near the core of the community, while 91.7 hectares in the Prairie Valley area would be added to the land reserve. Earlier this year, the application had been sent to the Agricultural Land Commission, but the commission had not made a decision. Council passed three separate motions on the land reserve exclusion. The land exclusion and inclusion were handled separately. Janet The third resolution was to Peake hold a workshop early in 2015 to discuss other options for the Official Community Plan – Urban Growth Strategy. Coun. Erin Carlson was absent for the first of the resolutions since her family owns land in the affected area. Coun. Janet Peake was the only member of council who voted against the motions to withdraw the land reserve application. “We should leave the applications to be considered by the ALC and get their input into our planning choices,” she said. “Council is still the decision maker into how or if we make use of the ALC recommendations.” Coun. Toni Boot said council has time to determine a suitable growth plan for the community. “We still have all kinds of time to consider what to do,” she said. Coun. Doug Holmes said the land exchange application was the result of a faulty decision-making process. He said the present council needs to “rewind back to the point where the process went wrong.” Over the past year, the controversial land exchange had been met with considerable resistance from the community. A petition by the Stop the Swap group garnered more than 3,000 signatures, including more than 1,500 from Summerlanders. During 2013, the municipality held numerous meetings, workshops and open houses to gather input for a new growth plan. See GROWTH Page 7

SELKIRK COLLEGE’S RURAL PRE-MEDICINE PROGRAM HAS PATHWAYS TAILORED TO DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS AND SUCCESSFUL FUTURES.

Alicia Pongracz (left) and Jaeger Nickson (top right) are students in the first Rural Pre-Medicine Program cohort that is diligently building skills on the Castlegar Campus. With a diverse background and intimate understanding of the challenges faced by students in smaller communities, Rural Pre-Medicine Program Coordinator Elizabeth Lund (bottom right) is the motivating presence behind Selkirk College’s push to bolster the numbers of rural doctors.

Students of Rural Pre-Medicine come from a variety of backgrounds ...

Not sure you fit into one of these backgrounds? You might be wrong. Ask us!

A visit to a Friday afternoon chemistry lab is further proof that the cohort model and small classroom environment is already paying dividends. Three months into their education journey at Selkirk College, students work together with a spirit more often found with the cohesiveness of a sports team rather than the individualistic competitive pursuit of entrance into medical school. “You can see already that the students in this program are going do something and they are going to do something great… It’s already a success,” says Lund. “I’m really proud of these students and very excited about the opportunities for them in the future. Whether they end up choosing medicine or another health field or something else completely different in science, this is where it starts.”

Finding Solutions to the Rural Doctor Crisis

Helping Solve the Problem of a Growing Need The mounting challenges with health care in rural Canada have gained traction in the media over the last few years. With shrinking government budgets, an aging population and societal shifts forming the basis of these struggles, more attention has been focussed on the gap between urban and rural. Three years ago, Lund and her colleagues in the Selkirk College School of University Arts & Sciences were looking for ways to bolster second year sciences at the Castlegar Campus. A story on CBC radio about the doctor shortage in rural British Columbia triggered the idea for a program that would help address the need with homegrown solutions. Lund was charged with putting together the proposal and soliciting support. For almost two years Lund put her skills in research and passion for education to the test as she approached senior levels of government, the Doctors of BC, local physicians, the University of British Columbia and anybody else that would listen. “There was a lot of pounding the pavement… I had to become a salesperson,” she says. “That’s the last thing I thought I would ever do, but I was selling something that I totally believe in. It ceases to be selling and becomes talking to people to let them know what we want to do.”

The First Cohort a Brilliant Example of What is Possible On a sunny late-September afternoon in Castlegar, Selkirk College administration joined representatives from the Doctors of BC, the Ministry of Health and health care professionals from around the Kootenay region for a special reception to welcome the first Rural Pre-Medicine cohort to the program. With a class made up of diverse backgrounds that range from recent high school grads to single mothers who have been away from post-secondary for more than a decade, there was a buzz in the air. “I have a vision of some of the graduates of this program not only making it into medical school, but also being really grounded and solid people,” said Trail Regional Hospital physician Dr. Blair Stanley, chair of the program’s advisory committee. “Not only because of their rural roots, but because of some of the learnings they will have had in this unique program. They will bring that groundedness and can bring that awareness into their clinical setting when they are looking after patients. I think that will be a magical connection that they will have with patients and the work they do.”

EDITORIAL

our pick

Considering a land plan Summerland’s controversial land swap application to the Agricultural Land Commission has been withdrawn, but discussions about growth and land use are far from over. On Monday evening, council voted to withdraw the application. The plan called for 80.34 hectares near the core of the community to be removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve, while 91.7 hectares in the Prairie Valley area would be added to the reserve. In 2013 and 2014, during the preparation for the plan, the municipality spent around $100,000 for consultants and for a series of open houses, workshops and other opportunities to collect input from the public. This cost was significant and the year-long public consultation process was extensive. Discarding the application now, without a response from the land commission, may raise questions about why so much time and money was spent on a growth plan which was discarded in this way. At the same time, the land exchange generated plenty of opposition, including more than 1,500 Summerland signatures on a petition. An opposition so strong must not be ignored. The message of opposition showed itself again in the results of the Nov. 15 municipal election. Withdrawing the application was the first step and it was something several of the new councillors had mentioned during the election campaign. But the matter has not yet been resolved. Summerland still needs to have a workable plan to accommodate its future growth. A strong message has been given that agricultural land must be protected, but the question of where and how to grow must still be answered.

On Friday evening, Summerland Singers and Players staged a dramatic reading of the Charles Dickens novel, A Christmas Carol. The evening was not just a chance to hear a wellloved story; it was also a fundraiser for the Summerland Food Bank and Resource Centre. At this time of year, the demands on the food bank increase and community support is needed now, even more than at other times of the year.

Clark on climate, clawbacks, credit A year-end interview with Premier Christy Clark. For an extended version, please see the opinion section at summerlandreview.com. TF: Are you still confident that we’re going to see a major LNG project approved by the end of 2014? PCC: We’re still in negotiations with Petronas and Shell, so I don’t know if it will Tom Fletcher be by the end of 2014, but I’m hoping in the next few months. [Days after this interview, Petronas announced a delay in their investment decision until 2015.] TF: I talked to a couple of SFU climate mitigation specialists, and they agreed that it’s unlikely to the point of impossible to have a major LNG industry and still meet Gordon Campbell’s ambitious greenhouse gas target of a 33 per cent reduction by 2020. What do you think? PCC: I think that we may prove them wrong. Many of these facilities, not all of them, will be partly or fully electrically powered up, so that reduces those impacts, and there’s going to be a real incentive to invest in new technology to minimize that as well. I think the bigger picture is what really matters, which

is that in shipping 82 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas to Asia, we help them get off coal and other dirtier sources of oil, and that is the biggest contribution that we’ve ever made to reducing climate change. TF: Ontario and Quebec have taken a page from your book. They have seven conditions for an oil pipeline, Energy East, which involves conversion of gas pipelines and taking Alberta oil to the East Coast. What do you think? PCC: I think they took our five conditions and elaborated on them. So you’ve got British Columbia, Alberta, now Ontario and Quebec, all signed on to some version of the five conditions. And of course Enbridge and Kinder Morgan as well. TF: What about the conditions they have added? PCC: One of the things they say they want to protect against is a shortage of natural gas coming to Ontario and Quebec. These are the same two provinces that have put a moratorium on extracting natural gas. They want to make sure that we do it here, good enough for us to do, and send it to them, but they won’t do that themselves. I look at their last two conditions, and I roll my eyes a little bit.

TF: All the way to New Brunswick, they’ve basically bought the anti-hydraulic fracturing myth? PCC: Yes. Somehow they all watched an American mockumentary or whatever you call it, and believed it. Here in British Columbia we do fracking better than anywhere in the world. It is the gold standard. TF: Finance Minister Mike de Jong says we have a surplus estimated at more than $400 million for this fiscal year, and he suggested that much of that would have to go to pay off deficits from previous years. Of course the opposition is interested in welfare rates and in particular ending child support clawbacks. What’s your view? PCC: Like any family that’s been through tough times, the first thing you need to do when you get back to finding a job and making an income again, is to pay off your credit cards. And that’s what we’re going to do. We are going to see if we can find ways to improve some of the programs over time, but can’t do that until we can afford it. It’s typical, the NDP want us to spend the money before we have it. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press newspapers. Email: tfletcher@blackpress. ca.

culls

As the community recovers from a recent electrical power surge, it is easy to ask questions about who was at fault. The power surge damaged meters, furnaces, heat pumps and electronics in some homes in the Trout Creek area. It is important to determine what happened and why, but the most pressing questions are not about blame. Instead, this is the time to examine what steps should be taken to prevent a similar incident from occurring in the future.

Questions raised about power surge Dear Editor: Re: Recent power surge in Trout Creek I am writing with my concerns and questions regarding the recent power surge in Trout Creek and the problems the power surge has left us with. You know by now that many resi-

dents have been seriously affected, many of whom are on a fixed income. More than one family lost a heat pump and furnace, to the tune of approximately $20,000 each. And many more families have lost appliances and electron-

ics. When insurance agents have been contacted residents were informed that it was not an insurable event; it was the responsibility of the power provider. Which makes some sense. So who is responsible?

Who was responsible for installing power lines so close together they could arc during a storm, or would stretch and arc with accumulating ice and snow? Who was responsible for ensuring the safety of all homes in Summerland?

Who is responsible for ensuring this never happens again. Surely this should be an expected event. I don’t know the answer to this question, but I ask the municipality to investigate and make the answer known. I do know it was not

the consumer. My second question is, what is being done to prevent this type of event from repeating itself? Thirdly, where can people affected receive redress? What are people, who are hit with needing to replace furnaces and

heat pumps just three weeks before Christmas, to do? We love living in our small town and are willing to put up with boil water advisories, short power interruptions, ... but this was too much. Marcia Dean Summerland

The early years

Drilling through the snow

Thanks to a Toronto dentist, even the deep snow in the Coquihalla could be cleared off the tracks to ensure the KVR kept running. Dr. J.W. Elliott came up with the idea for a rotary snowplough in 1869. His design was expanded on by Orange Jull of Orangeville and it wasn’t long before the Elliott-Jull Snowplough became standard equipment for North American railways, including the KVR. This photo shows a steam engine pushing a plough at 128 Mile in the Coquihalla subdivision in 1924. It was a truly an innovative machine but it does generate a question: what inspired a dentist to invent a rotary snowplough?

Sharon Stone, Chili Dinner Convenor Summerland

Albas urged to stand for accountability Dear Editor: Local Member of Parliament Dan Albas couldn’t have been clearer when he said that “what I hear from Canadians is they want more accountability.” Soon he will have a chance to show how he is putting that sentiment into practice as your representative when he votes on the Transparency Act. This bill was introduced by Liberal

Leader Justin Trudeau to raise the bar on openness and accountability by making government information open by default. It is a good faith effort to work across the aisle and achieve results for Canadians. The Transparency Act would modernize our Access to Information system, which is stuck in the 1980s. It would make all government data public by

default and available in modern formats. It would empower an independent office to order that information to be disclosed. It would eliminate extra fees for information requests. The Act would also make the meetings of the governing board of the House of Commons open by default, allowing Canadians to see how MPs make decisions on their own spending.

These changes would go a long way to addressing criticisms by the press, researchers, independent experts and others, and ensure that citizens have a real right to know what their government does. Mr. Trudeau has been clear that he wants to work with all MPs, and is open to amendments, suggestions and improvements. He believes that together

we can help restore a sense of trust in our democracy. Private Members Bills like this are normally “free votes”, which allow MPs to vote with their conscience instead of their party. We sincerely hope that Mr. Albas will vote in favour of the Transparency Act. Scott Simms, MP Liberal Party of Canada Democratic Reform Critic Ottawa

Site C dam needed to provide electrical energy

Dear Editor: No sooner did BC Hydro announce that the Site C dam was going to be built than the naysayers started saying no – no doubt the same naysayers who say no to run of river, no to wind, no

to the Olympics, no to a safer route for an existing pipeline, no to just about anything else you can think of. So if we don’t build Site C, and we don’t build run of river or wind projects, where

do these naysayers propose we get our power from? Especially with the potential for energyintensive LNG and other industrial development. Are we going to start rationing power

in the near future the way we ration lawn watering in the summer? Will even-numbered houses get to turn on their lights and appliances Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and odd-

numbered houses on the alternate days? Give me a break. I for one am not going to give in to the naysayers. I’m going to say yes. Yes to run of river. Yes to wind. Yes to Site C. And yes to any-

thing else that will make this province great and give us the competitive advan-

tages we need to succeed and prosper. Sandra Robinson Maple Ridge

Ask Your Dentist... Q:

I was told I need to have some dental work done but everything seems fine. How do I know if I actually need any work done? Anonymous

A:

Dr. Cindee Melashenko

Trust is a very important part of any relationship. You need to be able to trust your dentist. As health care professionals, we see immediate concerns like broken teeth, but we can also have the ability to foretell the future! I like to describe three categories of treatment for all my patients: 1. Urgent care for pain, infection, or decay. I recommend dealing with this as soon as possible to prevent more dentistry and possible health emergencies. For example, if there is decay between the teeth, I recommend fixing it before it gets larger and causes pain or needs a root canal. 2. Preventative care is where there is a significant risk that problems will happen if left untreated. For example, if you have a large filling on your back tooth there is a risk it will break. Preventative care would be to cover the tooth with a crown before that happens to prevent more dentistry like root canals or extractions. This treatment can be done at the convenience of the patient taking into consideration their comfort for the risk of what might happen without treatment. 3. Cosmetic care is primarily for appearance purposes and does not reduce the risk for further dental treatment. This may include whitening, veneers, or orthodontics. Cosmetic care is entirely at the patient’s discretion. Most people are aware of “urgent care” treatment requirements, but not all. “Preventative care” treatment is likely what you have been offered. Some people are comfortable with the risks and opt to defer “preventative care” treatment until it becomes “urgent care.” I encourage you to share your priorities with your dentist and understand the risks of deferring treatment.

Damaged meters will be replaced by John Arendt The municipality will replace meters affected by a recent power surge. Don Darling, director of works and utilities for the municipality, said the power surge on Nov. 26 affected one electrical circuit which serves 315 properties in Trout Creek and the Giant’s Head area. Of these, 63 meters were damaged, but most of the meters must be replaced. The cost is around $200 for each meter. The cause of the power spike is not yet known, but the municipality is working with an electrical engineer and Fortis B.C. to determine the cause. “It’s all just theory now,” Darling

said. “We’re trying to figure it out.” Once the cause of the surge is identified, the municipality will work with the electrical engineer to replace a damaged capacitor and lightning arrestor on the affected circuit. This cost is estimated at around $25,000. Property owners who had a meter damaged during the power surge must retain an electrician to perform a megger test on their electrical system. This test disconnects all electrical and electronic items and then introduces 500 volts to the internal wiring to determine if there was damage to the system. The cost for this test is estimated at $600, to be paid by the property owner.

Procedure bylaw will be examined

The bylaw which governs the structure of municipal council meetings will be revisited in January. Mayor Peter Waterman said he would like to see a change to the structure of the meetings to allow the public to raise questions about agenda items at the start of the meeting. He said this change is needed to provide more opportunity for the public to speak.

Under the existing structure, there is a time for questions after the meeting has been adjourned. Waterman also would like to move the Committee of the Whole meetings to Monday evenings. At present, the committee meetings are held on Monday mornings. Items are considered and clarified at these meetings, but resolutions are not passed.

Van Alphen named school board chair by Joe Fries Black Press

After being acclaimed last month to a fifth consecutive term on the Okanagan Skaha school board, Linda Van Alphen was chosen in similar fashion Monday to lead the group. The long-time Summerland woman was the only person nominated in the annual trustees’ vote to select their board chairperson and was therefore installed in the position by acclamation. She was nomin-

ated by G i n n y Manning, another long-time trustee and past chairwoman, Linda w h o was later Van Alphen acclaimed as vice-chair. “I see this as a team — and I don’t mean that as being kind of a hokey statement — I truly believe our board is a team, and with our senior staff I think that we’ll be able to make a good

The immediate past board chairman, Bruce Johnson, was re-elected to a second term but said he made it known to the others he wasn’t interested in staying on at the helm. “I really enjoyed my year as chair, but my personal circumstances are such that the extra burden and travel is prohibitive right now, so I wish the new chair all the

best,” he said. Other appointments made at the inaugural meeting included Shelley Clarke to represent the board on the B.C. School Trustees Association provincial council and Manning to sit on the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association representative council. The meeting also marked the debut of new trustees Bill Bidlake, Barb Sheppard and Julie Planiden, who join the four returning board members.

the growth strategy received unanimous council support. In a report to council, municipal planner Ian McIntosh said the agricultural land issue is just one portion of the growth strategy. “The full OCP amendment is a complex document that involved significant community engagement,” he said in the report. ”There are many components worthy

of consideration and various options to explore prior to a decision on how to proceed. A comprehensive workshop

on these issues is warranted to fully understand the findings and investigate alternative methods of moving forward.”

Municipal website receives overhaul The municipality’s website will have a new look when an overhaul of the site is completed. Jeremy Denegar, director of corporate services of the municipality, said he hopes to see the new site go

live before the end of the year. “Wouldn’t that be a great gift to the community,” he said. While the site will have a new look, the overhaul is much more than a cosmetic

change, he said. The reworked site will be easier to navigate and will have a stronger focus on good communication with the public, Denegar said. In addition, out-ofdate content and bad

links will be removed before the site goes live. “It’s very visually driven, very techfriendly,” Denegar said. The site will function on computers, smart phones and

tablet devices. Much of the work has already been completed, although the home page will be the last part to be built. Denegar said the look of the home page will depend on

the rest of the content of the site. Home page content will be changeable and will be determined by statistics and activity on the site. Pictures on the site include tourism

images from around the community. Denegar said good tourism-related content is necessary as the municipality’s site is the top result when people search for information about Summerland.

Drama students stage comedy evening It will be an evening of laughter as students at Summerland Secondary School stage their annual comedy show on Friday. An Evening of

Sketch Comedy features the talents of 31 students in the Acting 11 class at the school. Heather Ayris, drama teacher at

the high school, said there are 26 sketches in this year ’s production. “It’s the biggest show we’ve ever done,” she said.

The comedy will include sketches from Saturday Night Live, Monty Python and The Kids in The Hall, as well as several ori-

ginal works from the students. Seven years ago, when the first comedy evening was staged, it featured Saturday Night Live

sketches, but over the years it has expanded to other comedy as well. The comedy evening begins at 7 p.m.

Doors will open at 6 p.m. Admission is by donation. Ayris urges people to arrive early, as past shows have drawn large crowds.

The Summerland Secondary School senior boys Rockets basketball team ran into a pressing, fast-paced Keremeos team in their home opener on Wednesday, Dec. 3, when they lost 65-54. The Rockets trailed by only four at the half, but then lost high-scoring Captain Abhi Lekhi to a back injury. Grade 11 forward Landon Brickenden scored 21 points during a fourth quarter comeback, but the team fell short. Other contributors were Taylor Ledoux with five points, Geoffrey Stathers with six, and Jared Breitkruz with six. The game was part of a school col-

ours spirit day and food bank fundraiser. Earlier in the week, Summerland travelled to Kamloops for a weekend opening season exhibition tournament. The Rockets placed fourth in the eight-team competition by beating Elphinstone by 14 and losing close eight point games to Westsyde and North Kamloops. Brickenden was named an all-star and averaged 29 points a game. The Rockets have started their season with a 1-3 record. Next action for the team is on Monday, Dec. 15 at 6:30 when the Rockets will be in Oliver. The team is also looking forward to Dec. 27 when the Summerland Secondary School alumni games are scheduled.

IN LOVING MEMORY of JEANNE KEIR DEROSIER Mar.27 1949 - Dec. 12 2013.

Beloved wife, friend and partner to Barry DeRosier. Loving mother of Neil, Deanna and Trina. Oma to Mike, Chris, Melyssa, George, Nikki and Robert. Great Oma to Eva and Olivia. Loved and cherished forever.

Remembering our father Sandy Caldwell Born in Summerland, December 7, 1914 and raised in Summerland. Love, Margaret Caldwell and daughters Aretia (Morgan), Cathy (Grewcutt), Janice (Carver) and families.

WILSON, MARGARET

We are sad to announce that Mary Margaret Wilson nee Dufays passed away peacefully in the Penticton Regional Hospital on Saturday evening (December 6) surrounded by her family. She is remembered and sadly missed by her son Darcy Wilson (Sonya Valancius, grandsons Isaac and Kaden) of Vancouver, son Daryl Wilson (Maureen nee Ewanchuk, grandsons Matthew, Christopher and Andrew) of Woodinville, WA and by her daughter Dena Knowles (Shawn Knowles and granddaughters Chloe and Rowan) of Summerland. Marg was predeceased by her loving husband Barry Wilson, her father and mother, Henri and Mary Dufays (nee Welburn) of Laval, QB, and her brother Arthur Dufays of Ottawa. Margaret was born on April 30, 1936 in Montreal Quebec. Barry and Marg met in Calgary in 1961, both moved to Barry’s hometown of Summerland in late 1963 and were married in Montreal in 1964. After starting their family in Summerland they spent several years adventuring to different corners of the province, working in the towns of Pitt Meadows, Sparwood and Houston before permanently returning to Summerland in 1977. Marg was an active volunteer in the community, involved in many organizations including Summerland Hospital Auxiliary, Boys Scouts as a Beaver leader, Summerland Action Festival Parade, Penticton Soupateria and Jaycees. For her dedicated community service she was awarded the Summerland Citizen of the Year in 1992. Marg was an avid quilter and many friends and family that welcomed new family members were happy to receive beautiful baby quilts. Marg also worked for the school district, in Summerland and Penticton where she had great joy seeing generations of children learn and grow. Marg’s love of travelling took her across Canada and to several corners of the globe with her friends. Her greatest joy came from watching her 7 grandchildren grow into young adults. Thanks to all the wonderful friends and medical professionals who have helped Mom through her battle with cancer. A memorial service for Margaret will be held at Providence Funeral Home at 2:00 p.m. on December 11, located at 13205 Rosedale Avenue, Summerland. Thanks, in lieu of flowers, donations to the Friends of the Garden, P.O. Box 1363, Summerland BC, V0H 1Z0 would be appreciated. Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com

BARBARA LINDSAY FUDGE Oct. 1, 1941 – Nov. 27, 2014 Born in Chilliwack, Barbara died in Vancouver after a brief bout with cancer. Predeceased by her parents, Lionel and Alma Fudge of Summerland, B.C., Barb is survived by her sister Nancy and brother-in-law Gene Cadwallader and their family, Meagan and John, Evan and Darlene, and Brianna and Alyssa. Enticed by travel at a young age, Barb spent the first year of her long career in education teaching in Australia. Back in the lower mainland, she taught French for many years in New Westminster and North Vancouver and moved into administration in Surrey before going to Courtenay as a senior board administrator. Retiring from that position in 1999 she moved back to Vancouver and became the “poster girl” for retirement. Travel, volunteer work, jazz, photography, daily walking, wine tours in the Okanagan, cross-word puzzles and Scrabble were just a few of Barb’s passions as were her countless friends. A celebration of Barb’s life will be held at the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club on Jan. 10th at 5 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Paul’s Hospital. Adieu, chère Barbara.

Thursday, December 11, 2014 Summerland Review

Young adult fantasy novel released by Carla McLeod Special to the Review

Finding Refuge, the second book in the Marked Ones series, written by Cathi Shaw, was released last Thursday. The Summerland author moved here from Vancouver in 2008 with her husband and three children and says it was the best move they ever made. She has a masters and doctoral degree in education and holds a teaching position at Okanagan College, but is taking the next year off in order to write her books. Shaw says she has

been a writer all of her life. “I was recognized really young,” she said. “My teachers would say, when you become a writer, so I grew up with the mentality that one day I’d be a writer.” The Marked Ones series is fantasy written for young adults between the ages of 14 and 18 years. The story line is about three sisters, all of whom have been adopted. They are growing up in a small village and have heard of a prophesy that speaks of a mysterious mark, a mark that they each have. When other children start showing up with the same mark…

that is when the advent u r e begins. When Shaw sat down to write the Cathi first book Shaw of the series called Five Corners, she wrote it in one month. “It was a great learning process to finally get it on paper,” she said. “I came up with the idea for the book when I was running one day and still living in Vancouver.” Shaw explained that her writing process is to come up with an idea and then

“Can you hear those sleigh bells jinglin’?” (Ring ting tinglin’ too?)

think it all the way through from beginning to end. What she learned was that when she sat down to write the story, it all came out different than she had planned. Her style of writing is light on description and features more action, dialogue and character development. She gives the reader just enough information to see the picture, while still being able to use their own imagination. Writing the second book has been different for Shaw. “I haven’t been carrying the idea around for so long,” she said. What motivated her to write the second book was that people who had read the first one were asking her when the next book would be released. She expects to be pressured for a third book by her fans and has already started working on it. “I know there will

be a third book for sure and probably a fourth book,” she said. People have asked Shaw where her ideas come from and

she tells them, “I don’t know, they just come.” “When you’re in the flow and writing, it is really exciting,” she explained. Getting her work published took determination. “I sent out letters to 57 agents and I received 57 rejections. No one wanted it.” Although she was frustrated she decided to take the manuscript directly to a publishing house.

The second one she sent it to said yes, they would publish her book. “So that is when I did the happy dance around the living room,” she said. The down side of going with a smaller publishing company is that the author has to do much of their own marketing. Shaw finds this to be a challenge. “I think the hardest thing is getting the word out, because there are so many books,” she explained. “Getting reviews is the biggest thing. People will read the book if they know about it. It’s word of mouth!” As a mother of teenagers, Shaw feels she is lucky because she has a built in group of test readers. Her teens share the book with their friends and in this way she gets feedback on her work. If you would like to share these books with the teens in your life and help get the word out, you can order them online at cathishaw.com.

Musaic presents winter concert The Musaic Vocal Ensemble, which was formed in 1995 by Ken Gray and originally had 13 members, now boasts more than 40 people in the choir. Members for this auditioned choir come from Kelowna, Summerland, Penticton, Oliver and Osoyoos and are directed by Tracy Stuchberry. Last summer, Musaic participated in the International Choral Festival Kathaumixw in Powell River. Members of Musaic enjoyed this very exciting event and

hearing choirs from Slovenia, Seattle and elsewhere around the globe. Musaic usually performs two sets of concerts each year: A spring concert in May or June and a Christmas concert. They also enjoy performing for a variety of charitable causes and last month were part of a five choir choral extravaganza that raised more than $2,000 for “God’s Kitchen” at the Presbyterian Church in Penticton. They also provide student bursaries to support budding

Arts PAlette

David Finnis musicians. Their concerts include secular, sacred, opera, classical and modern music and this weekend’s concert will feature 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. Other songs will include their rendition of Calypso Carol, Ding Dong! Merrily On High and The Gift. Along with these numbers, Musaic showcases their musical versatility with O Magnum Mysterium, Tabula Rasa and Let There Be Peace On Earth. Joining Musaic, for their concert is the Fish On Five Brass Quintet. These players, from

the Okanagan Symphony’s brass section, take their name from their annual fishing trip where they fish and play along B.C.’s magnificent coast. Musaic Vocal Ensemble is performing three times this weekend with the first concert Friday, Dec. 12 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Saviour’s

Anglican Church on Orchard Avenue in Penticton. They will perform twice in Summerland on Saturday. The Summerland performances are at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. at St John’s Lutheran Church on North Victoria Road at Blair Street. Tickets are on sale at James on Kelly

here in Summerland and at the Leir House in Penticton and from any Musaic member. The Arts Palette column 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.
