Steam set for playoffs Junior B team places second in division John Arendt With four games left in the regular hockey season and a spot in the playoffs, the Summerland Steam coaches and players are gearing up for some tough competition. The Junior B team has earned second place in the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference: Okanagan Division of the Kootenay International Junior

Hockey League. The Steam have a record of 27 wins,16 losses, two ties and three overtime losses. The regular season concludes on Feb. 14 and the division semi-finals begin on Feb. 20. The Steam will face either the Kelowna Chiefs or the Princeton Posse. Gregg Wilson, coowner and general manager of the team, is optimistic about the playoffs. “We’ve got a great group,” he said.

“We’re very lucky to have four good lines.” Last year, the team qualified for the division semi-finals

finals. This year, the Knights will not be in the playoffs. Wilson said the Steam has changed considerably since the end of the last sea“We’ve got a great son. Of group.

He added that in the last two and a half years, nine players have advanced to Junior A or NCAA levels of hockey. Despite the player changes, Wilson said the team has become a strong, cohesive unit. “They’re a really tight group,” he said. “They’ve stuck together through

thick and thin.” He added that coach John DePourcq has worked well to develop the team. At present, Summerland has a strong defence and ranks third in the league in goals against. The team also plays against some of the strongest teams in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. “We probably have the toughest division as far as the strength of the teams on the ice,” Wilson said.

Arts Council requests permanent location John Arendt

Members of the Summerland Community Arts Council are concerned about the long-term future of their gift shop and gallery. For the past seven months, the gallery and gift shop have been in a retail building on Main Street, but members of the arts council are concerned with the longterm future of this location. Earlier, for 16 years, the gallery was in the former municipal building on Main Street, but the building has been demolished as the property is the site of Summerland’s new library branch. Speaking to municipal council, David Finnis, president of the arts council, said a permanent location is necessary. “We’d like to have a permanent home,” he said. “We feel the community will lose if there isn’t a gallery.” At present the municipality has approved funding for the arts council to continue renting its present Main Street location until the end of 2015. Finnis is encouraged that members of municipal council

have an interest in having the arts centre remain at its present location or somewhere along Main Street. Karan Bowyer, office manager for the arts centre, echoes the same concerns. “It’s hard to act when we don’t know how long we will be here,” she said. Almost a year ago, in late February, 2014, the former municipal building location was selected as the site for the new library branch. In late spring, the arts council moved into a former retail building, also on Main Street. The new location has worked well for the gift gallery, but not for exhibits. The space is noisy, smaller than the for-

mer gallery space and lacking the necessary lighting. “The art gallery space has changed considerably,” Finnis said. Over the past week, the arts council has worked to install track lighting for its shows. The cost of this lighting is roughly $3,000, Finnis said. This money came from a gaming grant to improve the facility. Painting the concrete floor at the rear of the building is expected to cost another $3,000, he said. Earlier improvements to the building have included painting, constructing two offices and adding two sinks. Shelves for storage were constructed in the back

room and emergency lighting was added. Mayor Peter Waterman said he would like to keep the arts council on Main Street. “One of council’s objectives is to be supportive of the arts in Summerland,” he said. “I’d like to see them in a stable situation.” Keeping the gallery and arts centre on Main Street would also help to strengthen the downtown area. “We’ve got such a strong, diverse arts community,” he said. “It can be very good for Main Street.”

They’re still months away from starting, but local students interested in the late French immersion program are already showing promise in mathematics. When the deadline for registration passed at noon Monday, staff at the Okanagan Skaha School District had received 120 applications for the fall intake of the program, enough to fill precisely four 30-student classes to capacity. “So the good news is everybody’s going to be accommodated by the program,” superintendent Wendy Hyer told the school board at its meeting Monday. The difficulty that remains is deciding where to place the classes.

Police RePoRt Mailboxes opened

Mailboxes around the community were forced open on Jan. 30 and Feb. 2. The incidents occurred on Simpson Road, Dale Meadows Road, Jones Flat Road, Peach Orchard Road and Woods Avenue. Since December, police have been dealing with an ongoing rash of mail thefts around the Okanagan Valley.

Summerland as possible, because often if they have to go to Penticton, then they make friends and then Summerland Middle loses out and Summerland Secondary,” Johnson said. Hyer confirmed that is her intention. In recent years, the school district has amended its policies to no longer guarantee entry to students who have an older sibling in French immersion and by random draw now allows students to decide in which community they want to attend, regardless of where they live. As of December, there were 665 students — about 11 per cent of the district’s total enrolment — in French immersion classes from Grades 6 to 12.

Hyer said 75 of those who applied to the program, which begins in Grade 6, expressed an interest in attending at KVR Middle School in Penticton, while the other 45 preferred Summerland Middle School. She recommended trustees immediately commit to creating two sections in Penticton and one in Summerland, then wait until mid-April to allow for any dropouts before deciding where to place the fourth section. Trustee Bruce Johnson suggested the district do all it can to keep kids in their home communities to maintain enrolment numbers in future years. “It’s certainly advantageous to keep as many middle school students in

EDITORIAL

A place for arts

The members of the Summerland Community Arts Council would like to have some permanence. At present, the arts centre and gallery is in a former retail location on Main Street, but questions have been raised about whether this will be a long-term location. For 16 years, the gallery and arts centre had a home in the former municipal hall on Main Street. Last year, this facility arrangement came to an end as the location was announced as the site for Summerland’s new library branch. Since moving into the present location, the arts council members have devoted plenty of time and money to making the space work for their needs. The work is needed since a gallery space has different requirements and lighting needs than a retail space. The changes are needed whether the present space is an interim location or a long-term facility. Because the arts council is a nonprofit organization operating on a limited budget, the cost of interior renovations is significant. The gallery and arts centre fills an important need within the community. Summerland has long had a strong artistic tradition and some artists from this community have received international acclaim for their works. It is important not only to recognize their achievements but to continue to provide an environment which encourages artistic endeavours. The various shows at the gallery have become increasingly sophisticated and draw arts patrons from around the Okanagan. And the arts council’s annual street banner project, entering its 17th year, has attracted interest from arts organizations in other communities. The efforts to promote the arts are significant. But such efforts also require a long-term commitment and a permanent facility.

Teachers adapting, but not union VICTORIA – The B.C. education ministry put on a forum on the future of education last week, bringing together public and private school leaders with experts from around the world. I watched the proceedings via webcast from the Wosk Centre for Dialogue in Vancouver, which gives you a hint about the forces pressing in on our century-old industrial model of schooling. First up was Andreas Schleicher, on video link from his office in Paris, where he is director of education and skills for the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. He began with the international problem of people coming out of university who can’t find jobs, amid a skills shortage. Schleicher said this is happening today because, “it’s not what you know but what you can do with what you know.” Some education sys-

B.C. Views

Tom Fletcher tems are adapting better than others as the value of merely passing on facts has declined. He said these days, almost any student can pass any multiple-choice test if they have a smartphone. The question for parents is what to do “if you want your child to be smarter than a smartphone.” The OECD runs international testing that consistently ranks B.C. and Canada among the best schools in the world, and Schleicher described how that testing has evolved to keep up. But our progress in the past 10 years has

tended to be slower than some Asian countries, despite B.C. being on the “high end of investment” in education. He warned against the trap of the industrial school model, “pouring money in” to “do more of the same.” Some of the best results emerging from a decade of digitallydriven globalization have been achieved through innovations that were financed through bigger class sizes, Schleicher said. This was too much for one B.C. Teachers’ Federation representative in the audience, who introduced herself as someone who spent the last transformational decade working for the union, not in a classroom. She disputed the OECD’s financial calculations, lecturing some of the world’s top economists that based on “spending power,” B.C. schools are cash starved. She followed this with the laundry list of BCTF demands

that hasn’t changed in 40 years – smaller classes, more prep time, more money. The keynote speaker was Yong Zhao, University of Oregon professor of educational measurement, who gave a highly entertaining critique of standardized testing and creativitycrushing drills of the basics. (You can find a video archive at www.bcedplan.ca.) Yong sparked a lively discussion about the need for foundation skills, which he and others agreed remain vital to success. The issue seems to be how to instil those basics while avoiding the disengagement of students who see school as irrelevant to their lives. Education Minister Peter Fassbender announced at the forum that the province is about to unveil new curriculum that moves toward individual learning for all students. And he said there will be a series of experiments conducted at yet-to-

be-identified B.C. schools to pioneer new models of learning. BCTF president Jim Iker sat stoically through the proceedings, where speakers described integrating community groups and businesses directly with schools. That’s underway here, with trades training in particular. Iker’s record on adaptation is clear from his own career. The only school where he actually taught was in the northwest B.C. village of Topley, and it closed in 2010 due to a long-term decline in rural students. By 2001 Iker had left the classroom to work for the Burns Lake teacher union local, which the BCTF continues to staff eight years after that school district and others disappeared through amalgamation.

Financial figures were incorrect

Dear Editor: In reference to Mario Bergeron’s letter of Jan. 28 titled, Money needed for streets and trails, the information stated is totally incorrect. Someone didn’t do

their homework. As per the information on the project highway signage, it states that the Lakeside walkway project has an estimated cost of $500,000. The rest of the facts

are that, of that total, the Municipality of Summerland put up $80,000, leaving the provincial share at $420,000. As well, long before any provincial participation was

announced the municipality provided $20,000 for some preliminary planning/ drawings for the local committee that is promoting this project. It was a concern of the council at the time

that no significant amount of money be put towards this project, that would take away from the repair/ maintenance of our current road system. Focus should be on maintaining and

upgrading current roads and trails. As for the cost of the library,that is a project that is being paid for by the Okanagan Regional Library. The roundabouts were paid for from

senior level government grants and development cost charges,which were specifically directed to projects on those roadways. Bruce Hallquist Summerland

The early years

Happy Family Day

Photo courtesy of the Summerland Museum

Family Day, a relatively new holiday in BC, was created to give people time to spend with their families. In 1969 this family spent some time together enjoying the view from the top of Giant’s Head Mountain though it obviously wasn’t on a special day in February. The trails to the summit as well as the view tubes and the rather nerve-wracking fence were established in 1967 as part of Summerland’s project celebrating Canada’s Centennial. While it’s a wonderful place to encourage togetherness and interaction, we highly recommend planning other activities for this Family Day and waiting for warmer weather before trekking up the mountain.

Trail project cost estimated at $500,000 Dear Editor: Readers may be interested to know that some information presented by Mr. Bergeron in his letter to the editor (Jan. 29) regarding the lakeside pathway project in Summerland is incorrect. Mr. Bergeron stated that the Province of B.C.’s share of the project cost is

$650,000 and Summerland’s share is $450,000. In fact, the total project cost is estimated at $500,000. Last summer, the province announced it would contribute $420,000 and the District of Summerland $80,000. (Previously, the District of Summerland contributed $20,000 for a design

concept.) The Summerland Rotary Club and Okanagan Similkameen Parks Society have also generously contributed financial and other resources. Mr. Bergeron asks why we now need to acquire lakeshore land for $1 million. Fortunately, there are no costs to acquire any land, as the land

required is owned by the Province of B.C. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure will manage trail construction. When opened this spring, the 1.3-kilometre trail between Summerland Beach RV Park and Lakeshore Drive along Highway 97 will mark the completion

of a key phase of the lakeside trail. Cyclists and walkers can look forward to terrific views and a safe, paved pathway accessible to wheelchairs and strollers. Our Trail of the Okanagans Committee forecasts substantial and long-term health, recreational and economic benefits to the B.C. Interior

as this exciting project moves forward to eventually link with other communities.

Volunteers assist at Seniors Village Carla McLeod Special to the Review

The Summerland Review will be publishing our “Brides” supplement on March 5th. We want your Wedding or Engagement photos to be highlighted in this special feature.

There is a core group of volunteers at the Summerland Seniors Village who have been there longer than the staff. Bob Glover, who was nominated for Volunteer of the Year in 2008, does a lot of one-on-one visiting with the residents. “What I like to specialize in, is visiting people that do not have anyone or those who are depressed. When they are passing away and have no one, I have gone in and held their hand at the last moment,” said Glover. “I find it very rewarding and I’ve met an awful lot of very nice people over the years.” Arlene Milne has been volunteering at the facility for seven years. She describes herself as being one of the biggest huggers in the world. “I hug them all.” Milne assists the residents in attending the entertainment events such as happy hour, church services, birthday parties, picnics and scenic drives. “I go and get them. I’ll comb their hair and make sure that they have their shoes on,” she said. Also in her seventh year of volunteering at the Seniors Village, is Cheryl Cunningham. She visits residents and accompanies them to appointments as well. Cunningham also does some practical things for the residents. “Last week I brought glass cleaner

and went around and cleaned everybody’s glasses,” she said. Connecting with the people who live at the village is what she enjoys the most. “I like to hear them talk about when they were younger and to look at their pictures,” she said. “I ask them questions because it makes them feel important. Their world has diminished. They were thriving family members with lots of children, jobs and activities. Now here they are in small rooms with not much more than a photo album,” she explained. Sometimes the volunteers come across someone who is feeling a little unsure or is crying. They will take a few minutes to sit down and talk or take them for a cup of coffee. “Maybe we can just brighten their day a little bit,” said Cunningham. Glover thinks there are several reasons

why people choose to volunteer. It may be that they have known someone who has been cared for and it is a way for them to give back. Another reason may be that when people retire they need something to do. “It gives you a rewarding feeling and it is a social thing too,” he said. “You get to know the residents and the other people who are volunteering.” For the past 30 years, Sheilagh Hoffman has been volunteering her time to play the piano at several facilities. “It’s wonderful for me too,” she said. “I just love playing to nice audiences and it keeps my skills up.” The Recreation Volunteer and Adult Day Services Manager for the Seniors Village is Mary Beth Rutherford. She said functions run so much nicer with the help of the volunteers. “There is more

visiting and socializing and it makes it that much more special for the residents,” she said. “We just want our house to be more and more of a home.” Recently students have been coming in to help with bingo, bowling, arts and crafts and teaching technology. “If people come in with an idea, we can see if we can make it work,” said Rutherford. The Volunteers at the Summerland Seniors Village are viewed as part of the team, Rutherford said, adding that programs cannot run without them. “We’ve been blessed with some longterm volunteers,” she said, “but we are always looking for more, that is for sure.” The invitation to volunteer also comes from Milne. “I always suggest it to people, why don’t you come and volunteer?”

Taking care of your heart

Be a quitter

Smoking increases a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risk of developing heart disease and stroke by contributing to the build up of plaque in arteries, and an increase in blood pressure and reduced oxygen in the blood. Quitting smoking can be one of the most challenging habits to break. It is important to seek out help. Talk with your doctor or visit quitnow.ca or call 1-877-455-2233.

Eat heart smart

A heart healthy diet includes eating an abundance of fruit and vegetables, using plant and seed oils, including more whole (unprocessed) grains, and focusing on lean meats, poultry, and oily fish. It is important to avoid foods high in saturated or trans fats. For more information call 1-888-HSF-INFO for

HealtHy living

A number of studies suggest that eating dark chocolate may decrease your risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. So how much chocolate are we talking about? About two small squares or six to seven grams per day.

Pet your pet

Sandra Turnbull a free copy ofÂ HeartHealthy Eating Guide for your Family from the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Get moving

Aim for at least 30 minutes a day of moderate activity such as brisk walking, bowling, dancing, vacuuming, swimming and gardening. Breaking it up into chunks of 10 or 15 minutes counts too. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop there. Research shows there are other, unexpected things you can do to improve your heart health.

People with pets tend to have lower blood pressureÂ and decreased risk from heart disease than those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Pet owners tend to get more physical activity, and as well companionship with pets can boost levels of anti-stress hormones.

Sleep

Sleeping for six hours or less per night, may increase your heart disease risk by almost 50 per cent. Too little shut eye can increase

blood pressure and cholesterol, and has been implicated in developing Type 2 diabetes. But oversleeping (greater than nine hours) boosts your chances as well.

Meditate

Taking a few minutes to relax each day, using deep breathing, quiet contemplation or sustained focus can be a great way to affect heart health for the better; anxiety and stress cause blood pressure to shoot up and leave us on edge, triggering spikes in heart-harming stress hormones. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use the Heart month to focus on taking care of our hearts by giving some of these hearthealthy habits a try. Your heart and your loved ones will love

you for it. If you would like to find out more about living a heart healthy lifestyle, you are welcome to attend the next session of Your Happy Healthy Heart at the Summerland Health Centre Feb. 10 from 9 to 11 a.m. Registration is free by calling 250-770-3550. Sandra Turnbull, RD, CEC is a registered dietitian, certified executive coach with the Interior Health Authority.

Laugh

Whether you like watching Family Guy or Seinfeld reruns, if it gets you chuckling, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for your heart. Laughing dilates blood vessels, increasing blood flow and reducing blood pressure. Research from theÂ University of Maryland Medical CenterÂ shows that laughter helps relieve the stress that damages the lining of blood vessels and helps your blood flow.

February is the month of love, romance and hearts. But did you know that every seven minutes someone in Canada dies from heart disease or stroke? And if that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to make your heart hurt, nine in 10 Canadians already have at least one risk factor for heart disease and 25 per cent have three or more risk factors. The good news is that we can reduce our risk of heart disease by up to 80 per cent with some simple (and maybe surprising) lifestyle changes. You may already be familiar with the tried-andtrue ways of lowering your risk: quit smoking, eat a healthy diet, and exercise.

Gift ideas for your Valentine

Hearts and Valentine’s Day are forever intertwined. One of the most recognizable symbols of love is the modest heart, and hearts adorn candy boxes and cookies while paper hearts are pinned to doors or windows as a symbol of Valentine’s Day. Young valentines may share candy hearts printed with silly sentiments. A symbolic heart bears no resemblance to an anatomical heart, and yet it is used to represent the deepest feelings of affection a person can share. Some may wonder just how the emotions of love became tied up in the shape of a heart, even though it’s widely known that the brain, and not the heart, governs affections. In ancient times, people believed that the heart was the center of all human emotions. Since the heart is prominently located in the center of the chest and the middle of the body, it became the cornerstone of human feelings. Love is considered to be one of the most profound and strongest human emotions, therefore it was reasoned that the feeling must emanate from the heart. Surprisingly, the heart has not always been the only organ associated with love. During the Middle Ages, the heart was deemed a useless organ. Followers of the Greek physician Galen theorized that the

frame to candle holders. Taking the time to have something monogrammed or engraved imparts thoughtfulness into the gift.

• Gift card: You may be thinking a gift card doesn’t sound that thoughtful. However, when paired with a listing of gift items, it’s easy to illustrate the thought that went into the gift. It may make sense to simply purchase one of those interesting items, but this way you’re giving the recipient the choice of what he or she really wants to select.

• Pet accessories: People view their pets as members of the family and often as small children (when small children are not yet present). Especially during the dating stage, providing an adorable gift for his or her pet may be seen as a heartfelt gesture. Be sure to pick up a little something for the pet parent as well, though.

liver actually was the seat of the soul and love. The first depictions of a symbolic heart date back to the 11th century, when the heart was drawn to resemble a pinecone held upside down with the point facing upward. The scalloped heart that is more familiar today first arose in the early 14th century. Around the same time, the heart was depicted with the point facing downward and the indentation at the base. Naturally, as time passed and more was learned about human anatomy, it became obvious that the brain was the seat of all emotion and thought processes. However, as the brain was something intangible in a living body in ancient times, and the beating heart could be much more readily monitored - with a pulse rate speeding up when a person is excited or aroused - it’s easy to see how the link between the heart and love has endured. Although the human heart is not bright red like symbolic hearts, that was the color chosen. Red has long been associated with passion, so it made sense to depict the heart in a bright red hue. Many other theories have been offered regarding the symbolic heart and its representation of love. While there’s no definitive correlation between love and hearts, the heart has become an accepted symbol of the emotion and the season of romance.

Cleansing for improved HealtH Our bodies are meant to naturally cleanse themselves of toxins; however, in the world today, the human body has to process more toxic chemicals than ever before. Air pollution, pesticides and other chemicals end up in our soil, water, and food supply and ultimately into our bodies. As the levels of pollution and waste increase in our environment, they overwhelm our bodies’ ability to remove them. Taking cleansing herbs daily is a simple way to help counteract the accumulation of toxins and wastes. Blessed thistle clears liver congestion and supports skin detoxification. This bitter plant is also a digestive tonic that helps relieve indigestion. Burdock is a cleansing herb that supports liver functioning. It is also helpful in the treatment of skin disease. Kelp is a mineral-rich seaweed that promotes healthy bowels. Kelp contains more than two dozen important minerals, as well as proteins, carbohydrates and essential fatty acids. Sheep sorrel is known to be a diuretic and gentle laxative that cleanses the bowels. Slippery elm helps remove phlegm, mucus and other matter from the respiratory tract. It is also nourishing and is known for its diuretic properties. Turkish rhubarb normalizes the functions and tissues of the body and improves digestion. It also provides detoxification support to the digestive system, colon, liver, and blood. Red clover promotes healthy cell production. This antioxidant supports the kidneys as well as the urinary system. Watercress is used for its detoxifying and restorative properties. It is also known for being a diuretic. All eight of these detoxifying and cleansing herbs can be found in Flor•Essence® Herbal Tea Blend. Our kidneys and liver are the two organs that do the majority of detoxifying wastes and toxins that we take in from food and the environment. They cleanse our blood, break down and neutralize wastes and toxins, and send waste products on for elimination. The cleansing herbs mentioned in this article, with their diuretic effects and promotion of healthy digestion and elimination, support these natural detoxification processes. Our kidneys and liver are very resilient and good at their jobs, but due to aging, chronic stress, poor diets and refined foods, as well as increased exposure to toxins, they need some help and support. Cleansing herbs come together to help your body gently draw out, break down, and eliminate these wastes and toxins so that you can function at your best. A detoxifying herbal tea blend that contains these herbs can help protect you from the build-up of toxins that accumulates over time in your organs and cells, promoting a healthier and more radiant you.

Softball players honing their skills While the minor softball season will not begin for several months, the Summerland Minor Softball Association is offering training to help players hone their skills. The participants range in age from U8 to U19 for C-level ball. For those under the U8 level, there is the Learn to Play program. “We haven’t had the U8s and U10s for a few years,” said Cynthia Cutt of the minor softball association.”To have a team this year is good news because they will become players to support the teams as they get older.” Last year 50 players registered in Summerland Minor Softball. The season begins in the third week of April and continues

until the end of June. Playdowns and district championships are also held in June. Joe Cutt, one of the organizers of the program, said the winter training provides an introduction to the game for younger players. “Every kid gets to hit the ball a lot and run a lot,” he said. The younger players in the U8 and U10 age categories practice on Monday evenings, while those in the U16 and U19 age levels practice on Tuesday evenings. When the season begins in spring, the young players will have skills they need for the game. He added that Summerland’s players will face teams from around the Okanagan this year.

WADDINGHAM, BARRY Barry Waddingham died suddenly but peacefully at his home in Summerland on Sunday January 4, 2015. He had his wife Emily and his dog Sam at his side. Barry was the much-loved husband of Emily Waddingham, and dad to Jacqui, Mike and Janelle. He was stepfather to Cynowa and Ben, grandpa to seven, and great-grandpa to one. Born in Grantham England on August 12, 1938, Barry immigrated to Canada in 1961. He raised his family in Victoria and the Edmonton area before relocating to the Lower Mainland in 1980. Barry had a long career as an insurance adjuster, and was a partner in Hunter Waddingham Claims. In 2002, he and Emily moved to Summerland to build and manage a successful boutique hotel business. Barry was a passionate world traveller, gifted gardener, and lover of sporting events (English Premiere League soccer and the NHL in particular). He was an epic storyteller and an avid debater of world affairs and politics. Most of all, he was a beloved husband, father and grandfather. He will be greatly missed by his close friends, and all of his family, who dearly loved him. A memorial service will be held inVancouver at a later date. In the meantime, in lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory to Medecins Sans Frontieres/Doctors without Borders.

Forum to examine economic development Next Wednesday, Feb. 11 will be the second Philosophers’ Cafe of 2015. This Cafe will feature a very timely and important topic for our community: Economic Development for a Small Community. There will be a panel, consisting

of representatives from the local business community, agri-business and tourism, who will provide insights into what special ingredients are needed for an economically sustainable Summerland. The great thing about Philosophers’ Cafes is that they are

two way streets. Those attending can ask questions and provide input after the presenters have made their comments. Here’s your opportunity to put in your two cents’ worth about how to turn those empty stores into active, economic

engines. This Philosophers’ Café will be at the IOOF Hall at 9536 Main St. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the formal discussion starts at 7 p.m. Admission is by donation. There will be coffee, tea and refreshments available. To find out more
