Steam tied in playoffs Summerland and Kelowna Chiefs each earn two wins in best of seven series
The Steam won Friday’s game in a 3-2 decision but lost 3-1 on Saturday evening. “We outshot them, but we just couldn’t score,” Steam coowner and general manager Gregg Wilson said after the game. He said the game was a disappointment, but the team was able to improve for the third game of the series the following day. “They learned from it. In Game 3

they came at it with a different mindset,” Wilson said. Sunday evening’s game, in Kelowna, ended in a decisive 10-4 win for the Steam. While the win was encouraging, Wilson does not expect to see such domination on the ice repeated in the future. “There will not be another game of this magnitude in this series,” he said. He explained that the win was due in
part to the Steam’s four strong lines. Coaches are able to rotate players during the games and as a result, players are rested and energetic. He added that Kelowna rotates two lines. As a result, the players were exhausted on Sunday. The fourth game, in Kelowna on Tuesday, ended in a 3-2 loss for the Steam after a strong third period showing from the Chiefs. In regular sea-
son play, the Steam finished solidly in second place in the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference: Okanagan Division, while the Chiefs were in third place. The Steam finished the regular season with 28 wins, 19 losses, two ties and three overtime losses. The Steam and the Chiefs faced each other eight times during regular season action, with Summerland winning five of those games.

Steele re-elected as BCFGA president Dale Boyd Black Press
Fred Steele from Kelowna will return as the B.C. Fruit Growers Association president after being re-elected at the 126th annual BCFGA convention on Feb. 21. “(The results) were probably close, these things are usually razor thin either way. It’s always good to have the family get together and squabble over the issues. That’s what the convention is about,” Steele said. Steele faced a familiar opponent during the election in Jeet Dukhia. The two were up against each other last year and have been opponents in years prior. “We’ve had a few over the years, but the nice thing about it is Jeet is a member of the BCFGA and sees things differently and we challenge each
other and I don’t think there are any h a r d feelings at all,” Fred Steele Steele said. “There’s always next year,” Jeet said. Who said he plans to run again. “I think what we have to do now is looking toward other areas because we have to think about expanding this industry,” He said infrastructure will be a focus moving forward. “What we have to do is start looking at the Ministry of Trade, the Ministry of Industry for national issues, the Ministry of Western Economic Diversification for infrastructure funding and the Ministry of Agriculture of
course,” Steele said. “It’s always a good day when you win,” Steele said.
BCFGA to administer replant funds
The BCFGA’s 126th annual convention at the Penticton Lakeside Resort saw a visit from B.C. Minister of Agriculture Norm Letnick. Letnick spoke to growers from around B.C. and announced that the BCFGA were selected as the administers of an $8.4 million, seven-year replant program. The replant program allows farmers to take existing stands of trees with older fruit and replant new varieties that will afford them more money. The partnership provides government assistance with a third of the cost of the replant on average. Letnick said that
the strategy moving forward is focused on quality and differentiating the B.C. market from the rest of the world. “That’s the biggest strategy we have is helping people convert their existing, low-margin fruits to higher margin fruits, and that’s where the replant program comes in,” he said. He said that American producers have more acres under production resulting in a lower cost per pound as well as lower land costs. Creating quality and unique products is the way to differentiate according to Letnick. “We have a great product, how do we get more people to buy it.” He added helping growers market products domestically as well as nationally and internationally will be another focus moving forward.

Alleged doctor attacker released on bail Dale Boyd Black Press
The man accused of attacking a doctor at Penticton Regional Hospital will be released on recognizance upon the payment of a $50,000 bail. Gregory Stanley Nield, 31, appeared at the Penticton Court House on Thursday
where the judge ruled that he be released into the custody of his family upon the perfection on bail. Nield was wearing a plaid shirt and was quiet, saying nothing other than “yes” when the judge asked if he could hear her. Nield appeared via video at the Penticton
Courthouse on Wednesday where his bail was set for $50,000 and an agreement was made for him to be transferred from the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre to the Penticton Courthouse on Thursday. The bail was set after an agreement was made between
the Crown and Nield’s defence after he was subject to a 30-day psychiatric evaluation. The agreement pertains to 11 conditions including a curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., that he not leave his residence unsupervised and that he report to a bail
supervisor and, on a Rogers Order, attend medical counselling and treatment as recommended. Nield will be released into the custody of his family and wife. He has no prior criminal record. Nield is charged with aggravated assault allegedly
Municipal website overhaul completed The municipality’s website at summerland.ca has a new look, but Jeremy Denegar, director of corporate services for the municipality, said
the changes are not just cosmetic. The site was designed to be easier to navigate. The home page was the last page
POLICE rEPOrT Truck stolen
A black 2005 Ford F350 pickup truck was reported stolen from Dunn Street overnight on Feb. 16 to 17. Police are continuing their investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Summerland RCMP detachment or Crime Stoppers.
Vehicle rolls
Police and paramedics were called to a single vehicle accident on Feb. 19 around 5 a.m. The accident occurred on Lakeshore Drive at Peach Orchard Road when a four-door sedan veered right and rolled. There were no injuries but there was significant damage to the vehicle. Police say there were no signs of impaired driving.
Four arrested
On Feb. 20 at 8:15 a.m., police were called with a complaint of a possible impaired driver travelling south on Highway 97. Police stopped a Lincoln Navigator on Highway 97 at Jones Flat Road. The driver was not impaired, but four people in the vehicle were arrested for possession of a controlled substance after drugs and paraphernalia were found. All were later released. A 22-year-old woman was released on a promise to appear in court. She will face charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking.
built. Its content will be changeable, determined by statistics and activity on the site. Pictures on the site include many tourism-related images from the community. The tourism content is needed since the municipal site is the top result when people search for information about Summerland. In addition, obso-
lete information on the old site has been removed or updated. The site functions on computers, tablets and smart phones, adjusting to work with the smaller screens on portable devices. In addition, the site was designed to be simpler for municipal staff to add and edit content. Earlier, Denegar and the design com-
pany in charge of the redesign had hoped to compete the site before the end of 2014. “There have been a lot of delays due to the complexity of it,” he said. The new site was introduced last Thursday afternoon. Denegar said changes will be made based on comments and feedback from the public.

EDITORIAL Excellence on the ice For the second year in a row, the Summerland Steam hockey players have advanced to the playoffs. The Junior B team is facing the Kelowna Chiefs in a best of seven series in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League action. Those who have followed the team’s progress have seen a consistently strong level of play. At the end of the regular season, the team had a record of 28 wins, 19 losses, two ties and three overtime losses for a second-place ranking in the Okanagan/ Shuswap Conference: Okanagan Division of the league. This result becomes even more impressive when one considers that only seven of the players were on the team last season. The players have demonstrated an impressive level of dedication to the sport. Some have grown up in the community and have advanced through the various levels of the Summerland Minor Hockey Association. Progressing to junior level hockey is a reward for their ongoing level of commitment to the game. Fans have also been able to enjoy the result of the players’ efforts. Those who have attended the games during the past season have seen some high-energy hockey action. While the team provides entertaining hockey for fans, it also serves a much more important role. Some Steam players have been able to advance to Junior A or college level hockey, and from there it is possible some will go on to play the game professionally. For this reason alone it makes sense to support the team during the regular season and playoffs. Ticket sales and fan support help to fund the team and ensure the presence of junior hockey in the future. A dedicated base of fan support also shows Summerland’s commitment to hockey at this level.

Why cut taxes for the rich? VICTORIA – The B.C. government’s third straight budget surplus is the main battleground for provincial politicians this spring, with little else on the order paper to argue about. The main conflict is over the tax cut for the rich that results from removing a two-year surtax on personal income greater than $150,000 a year. It’s an outrage, says the NDP, starving our threadbare government services of more than $200 million over the next three years. NDP leader John Horgan set the tone in his reply to Finance Minister Mike de Jong’s budget speech: “I can appreciate that the minister was celebrating with the champagne-andcaviar set, but the rest of British Columbia saw $700 million in increased fees and taxes on their backs.” Old news, de Jong replied. It was a two-
B.C. Views
Tom Fletcher year surtax on highincome earners to help get B.C. out of its post-recession red ink, and it expired as it was legislated to do. This political theatre doesn’t help people understand what’s actually going on. First, a lot of that red ink was B.C. Liberal blood from dismantling the harmonized sales tax and repaying Ottawa for that failed experiment. Second, this temporary tax on the rich was a political strategy by de Jong and Premier Christy Clark, limping into an election most expected them to
lose. De Jong’s debut budget in February 2013 also accelerated a small increase in corporate income tax, stealing two populist planks from Adrian Dix’s NDP platform. Ending the surtax not only kept a promise, it kept B.C. competitive with Alberta on personal income taxes. High wage earners and many of their businesses are more mobile every year, which is why this year’s budget also extended tax breaks for high-tech and digital media companies. Another tweak in de Jong’s budget was to increase the low-income cutoff for personal income tax from $18,000 to $19,000. Those with the lowest incomes are relieved not only of income tax but also medical premiums, which continue to march up by another four per cent, and are mostly paid by employers.
As with the federal election set for this fall, we will hear a lot about the burden on the vaguely defined “middle class.” In B.C. they have to dig deeper for car insurance, hydro, ferry rides and postsecondary tuition, while those top-hatted champagne-sippers party on with their tax holiday? Well, not exactly. Here’s an assessment from Philip Cross, research co-ordinator at the MacdonaldLaurier Institute and former chief economic analyst at Statistics Canada. Just after the 2013 B.C. election, Cross noted that Canada, its provinces, Europe and the United States have all been adjusting their tax systems to increase the load on wealthier people and ease it from the poor. This has closed the wage gap considerably in Canada. By 2010, the top 20 per cent of earners were paying 58.3 per cent of all income taxes.
That’s up from 50 per cent in 1976, showing how long Canada’s income taxes have been “progressive.” This is the main reason why “income inequality,” that other great cause of the left, started leveling off in Canada around 1998. Cross points to measures like the low-income exemption from income tax. By 2013, the bottom 40 per cent of Canadian households were paying just 6.8 per cent of income taxes, and more than a third of income tax filers were paying none at all. Cross asks and answers the central question: Should the rich pay more? “If it’s a misinformed attempt to compensate for imaginary losses of low-income people, the answer is clearly no.” Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

BCFGA position out of date Dear Editor: I object to the continued lobby and position the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association presently has against the Arctic apple. The BCFGA position is out of date. The Arctic apple has achieved de-regulation in the USA which means these
apples can now be grown for commercial production in the USA and eventually sold in stores. There are no GMO apples in the marketplace now, nor will there be in the 2015 apple harvest season. USDA declared in its review that Arctic apples are just
like any other apple except for their nonbrowning trait. Arctic apples offer the same nutrition benefits as non-GMO apples. Arctic apples use apple-to-apple biotechnology to silence the gene that causes browning when the cut surface is exposed to oxygen.

Working on the railroad
2015 marks the 100th anniversary of the Kettle Valley Railway, “one of the strangest railways ever built.” Steep grades, rock walls, deep canyons and snow were only some of the obstacles that had to be conquered. Miles and miles of track required a lot of hard work and likely resulted in sore muscles and aching backs for the men who had to fell the timber and carve out the ties. The Summerland Museum is celebrating the KVR at their AGM on March 6 with special guest speaker, Joe Smuin, Kettle Valley Railway historian and author. Join us at the IOOF Hall, 9536 Main St. at 7 p.m. to hear more about the legendary KVR. The agenda will also include the Museum Society annual report and election of directors, along with refreshments.
The Arctic apple has the potential of new mass consumption in the sliced apple industry. The BCFGA is positioning itself to never be in this category of apple production. In the past, the national lobby group USApple was hesitant to accept the Arctic apple, but it has since moved away from that position. Arctic brand will be clearly marketed and sold under the Arctic label, allowing consumers to make informed purchase decisions. The non-browning apple will be the first of the modified apples. Other traits are being developed by other companies. It is not long ago that self-fertile cherries did not exist. We have now built an industry on these cherry varieties that were bred at the Summerland research station. Initially, self-fertile cherries were freely available to the world’s growers. That has changed and now Canadians benefit first, while other country’s access to these varieties is limited. If the self-fertile cherry was bred in another country, we could not afford access. Our Canadian cherry industry would not be the success that it is now. The Arctic apple will be deregulated
in Canada. When this occurs, the current BCFGA position tells the world, “we do not want it.” This is huge mistake. When the Ambrosia apple was introduced, apple growers in Canada were given unrestricted access before it took international markets by storm. Canadian apple growers got a head start with Ambrosia. This will not happen with Arctic apples. It will be released in Canada to those willing to make the apple successful in the marketplace. The B.C. Fruit Growers Association has missed an opportunity to support a niche market and to work with a Summerland apple grower who is going to revitalize the value-added fresh apple industry. At the BCFGA convention, I asked that the delegates let the market place determine whether our growers get access to Arctic apples, grow Arctic apples and accept the premise that the science is not going away. The BCFGA should let science determine its safety for the consumer, let the consumer choose whether to purchase the apple and let the grower decide whether to plant and grow the fruit. Keith Carlson Summerland
Trails will ruin natural beauty Dear Editor: There is a set of hills to the west of Summerland generally known as Cartwright Mountain. Over the years it was an area crisscrossed by a series of flumes which brought irrigation water to most of Summerland’s orchards. After the flumes were removed the area they had occupied became a neat
set of hiking and walking trails. Added to them were natural deer trails which could take you right up to the top if you were so athletically inclined. Most of the land was Crown land. Nowadays, some of the lower area is being filled in with housing, but there are still parts where the old flume trails can be used, providing the
owners don’t mind you trespassing. I understand that now all of the property is privately owned so all of us who walk or hike up there are trespassers. However, a group of mountain bikers have received permission to build an extensive trail system on some of the land. I’ve been trespassing on Cartwright since shortly after the flumes were
removed, enjoying nature in its natural state — before bikes, horseback riders, and motorcycles. A lot of people like myself are up there enjoying our natural “church.” For some of us who prefer the outdoors, nature is our church. Unfortunately, there are people who don’t share the same ideals. Nature belongs to everybody, but it
should be respected. Building bike trails, log jumps, cutting down trees, even with the permission of the owner, seems to be the wrong way to go about it. Next thing you know, the mountain will be a clear-cut, with a race track; something that it is starting to look like now. Frank Martens Summerland
Musical was an excellent production Dear Editor: Kudos to Summerland Secondary School’s Beauty and the Beast. We saw Beauty and the Beast, the High School production, last Saturday and
it was excellent. The acting, the choreography, the costumes and the set were all very, very good. They even painted the stage floor to look like cobblestones.
It was the best high school musical I’ve ever seen. There are two casts. We saw the first one. This week the second one will perform.
Don’t miss it if you enjoy a good show, young people doing things well and a great night out. Enjoy. Marj Plitt Summerland

Ask Your Dentist...
Q
I want whiter teeth. What can I do to get them really white? Jane
Dr. Cindee Melashenko
A
I’ll talk about three ways to whiten your teeth. The easiest is to have them cleaned. Teeth can pick up stains from what we eat and drink, like tea, coffee and red wine. Surface stains can be removed by brushing with whitening toothpastes or by your hygienist. If you still want whiter teeth once they are cleaned, you should try whitening. We use custom fit trays for each patient and give you whitening gel to put into the trays for about 2 hours/day or overnight. In about two weeks your teeth can be 1-2 shades lighter. You can reuse your trays in the future to whiten again whenever you like. If you want your teeth dramatically lighter you should consider veneers. Veneers are porcelain covers cemented on your teeth that not only change the colour but can also give you that smile you have always wanted. As you can see there are quite a few options. Come on in so we can discuss what would be right for you.

the internet with positive words instead of Cyber bullying. They are planning an upcoming environmental campaign to encourage people to reuse plastics rather than discarding them after one use. Nixon explained that YEP tries to operate on a very low budget. The focus for them is on awareness rather than the monetary. “I feel there are things that need money to fix and then there are things that need awareness
and education,” he said. “Things like the environment and mental health and wellbeing need time and awareness of what is happening.” When it comes to support for this nonprofit group Nixon said, “This community is just amazing. They don’t scoff at us teenagers but rather ask how can we lift you up and help?” To follow this outstanding Summerland teen and his friends in their efforts, you can go to yepnow.org.

things,” he said. “There are so many other kids in my school that do just as much as me.” Nixon is also one of the co-founders of the Youth Empowerment Project (YEP), whose slogan is “empowering youth through knowledge.” Registering YEP as a non-profit group was “stressful” and a “real learning experience,” Nixon said. Caitie Shaw is another one of the five founding members of YEP. She and Nixon are the spokespersons for the group. “We just try to inspire kids to follow their passion and make sure they know that youth have a powerful voice and we’re going to make change,” explained Nixon. On Pink Shirt Day the two were scheduled to speak at a pep rally at the Skaha Middle School in Penticton where they planned to tell the kids, “The biggest message is to be kind to one another. One moment of selflessness every day,” said Nixon. “It’s so simple but it would be so effective.”

‘What’s that doing in my library?’ Your library provides material that reflects the needs and interests of everyone in the community. Taken directly from the Canadian Library Association’s Intellectual Freedom Statement: “It is the responsibility of libraries to guarantee and facilitate access to all expressions of knowledge and intellectual activity, including those which some elements of society may consider to be unconventional, unpopular or unacceptable. To this end, libraries shall acquire and make available the widest variety of materials”. Library staff are busy investigating books that have been challenged over the years as we prepare for Freedom to Read Week (Feb. 22 to 28.) If you take this freedom as a given, someone may try to dictate what they think you should be allowed to read. A small section of Canadian society have opinions about reading material that they would like to impose upon you. Those opinions manifest as objections, then progress to challenges. The challenges are real and they come in the form of requests to remove or restrict access to books in public libraries, schools and other public institutions. Our freedom to choose what we read does not include imposing our choices on others. If you think these impositions couldn’t happen in this day and age, you only have to visit the public library and look at the large display of books that have been challenged over the years and are still contentious to this day. For example, the classic novel, Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger, published in 1945, has been consistently challenged for many years due to “foul language”. The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, published in 1925 was challenged because of references to sex.

Sue Kline Caroline McKay Just last year, a parent of a B.C school student demanded that the book, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, by Stephen Chbosky, published in 1999, be banned from the school. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, published in 1960, was challenged over its racial themes. Author Harper Lee has recently published the sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird after 55 years. We’re curious to read her new novel, Go Set a Watchman, and wonder if it will live up to public expectations or be as controver-
sial as her first. Visit the library website www.orl.bc.ca with your library card and make a request on this highly anticipated novel today. Your right to choose whether to read a book or not, is exactly that. Your right. Don’t allow anyone to take that away from you. Go to www. freedomtoread.ca for more information and a full list of challenged book titles. Then celebrate your freedom to read this week by stopping by the Summerland branch of the Okanagan Regional Library and checking out some great books. Sue Kline is the Community Librarian and Caroline McKay is an assistant Community Librarian at the Summerland branch of the Okanagan Regional Library. Both proudly wear their “If it’s worth banning, it’s worth reading” buttons.
Free to read

Quantity matters in nutrition choices In the name of “getting healthier,” a lot of people use short-term strategies in an attempt to meet their long-term goals. They count and log everything they eat, they eliminate entire food groups, force themselves to eat the latest super foods; and vow to give up pleasures like chocolate or eating at their favourite restaurants. And that is the problem: short term thinking applied to a
lifelong experience. Making sacrifices or choices that really are tolerable for only a short period of time. Without a doubt what you eat plays a big role in your health and well-being. But so many people struggle to maintain their efforts because they don’t pay attention to how they are eating. Making sure that we pay attention to our food when we are eating, truly enjoying the experience

lasting sustainable change. In our hyper busy world it is easy to undervalue the importance of nourishing our bodies. Eating has become something that we do quickly between our endless series of daily events. Many of us find ourselves routinely eating while driving, working at our desks, or in front of the computer or TV. While crossing off all the to-dos on your list comes with a sense of satisfaction, we have missed out on one of the most powerful ways to help us regulate our intake-tuning in to our bodies natural hunger and fullness cues. We are all born with innate knowing of how to best feed ourselves. Don’t believe me? Just watch a baby. They certainly let you know when they are hungry (no putting them off until the clock says ‘lunch time”) and refuse to eat more when satisfied. Taking time out during our busy days to tune into our bodies is the first step in relearning that skill. Eating while distracted, or in a rush also disconnects us from our senses. When we slow down and pay attention to our food, savouring each bite we are much more likely to be truly satiated. Imagine leisurely eating a perfectly ripened peach, inhaling its fruity essence, eyeing its vibrant hue, nibbling at its tender sweet flesh, enjoying each deliciously juicy bite. Taking pleasure in our food, nurturing our bodies in this way can also help to diminish cravings
and overeating from stress. Many of us use foods to help us cope with distressing feelings or as an attempt to comfort ourselves. This is completely natural. The connection to food, comfort and love are made early on in our lives as our mothers fed and nurtured us. However, if food becomes our sole source of love or comfort this can lead us to eat more than
we truly need. And sadly our real needs — for love, comfort or connection — are never properly met. Before we get completely caught up in finding the ‘right’ foods to eat for our health lets remember to build a long lasting foundation. We can do this by practicing undistracted eating, savouring and enjoying our food and being aware of how we are expecting foods to
meet our needs. For more information and support around this topic please feel free to join me in the upcoming session How to End Emotional Eating at the Summerland Health Centre on March 3 from 9 to 11 a.m. Please register by calling 250-770-3550.

Coping with winter in northern Japan
Winter is now in full swing here in northern Japan with the average day dipping down below -15. While it stays quite chilly here, we still see little snow for Hokkaido. Tokachi, the region I am living in, is known for very sunny days in the winter, melting away the snow quickly, and leaving a dangerous sheen of ice on the roads. This creates an excellent environment for up-andcoming speed skaters and hockey players because it is easier to create and keep excellent outdoor rinks. Tokachi produces some of the best speed skaters in the world. Last year,
Notes from toyokoro
Anna Marshall I had a student in Grade 9, who was in the top five of Hokkaido. Just one hour north of Toyokoro is the city of Kushiro. Kushiro is home to a very popular, and very good hockey team called Kushiro Cranes. However, outside of Tokachi,
and west, in neighbouring regions, they see more clouds, fog, and relatively overcast weather. They get quite a bit of snow every year. This, combined with the mountainous terrain, makes for beautiful skiing and snowboarding conditions. Hokkaido is a very popular tourist destination in the wintertime because of this. The powder snow, picturesque mountains, and the allaround cheap traveling costs makes this perfect for tourists from Australia, New Zealand, and Korea to get away, and ski. Japan has festivals all year round — in
the summer we have a huge fireworks festival (Hanabe Matsuri) and in the near by city of Obihiro, during the winter we have quite impressive festivals. About 50 minutes away, in the city of Obihiro, during the first two weeks of February we have an ice festival — Koori Matsuri. People from around Tokachi create spectacular sculptures out of ice. Also, during the first two weeks, in Sapporo (about 200 kilometres west), there is a Snow Festival — Yuki Matsuri. This is a huge festival, using the entire 12-block expanse of Odori Park to place sculptures from
around Japan. This year’s main sculpture was similar looking to Mount Rushmore but instead of presidents, they used Star Wars
Characters. Winter is a very beautiful, exciting time in Hokkaido. Thanks for reading! Proverb: Shoshin wasuru bekarazu — We should
not forget our beginner’s spirit. Anna Marshall is in Summerland’s sister city of Toyokoro, Japan as the assistant English teacher.
Local residents celebrate Platinum Anniversary (70 years)
Alfred and Laura Morasse of Garnet Valley were joined together February 12, 1945 in Vimy, AB. They sold their farm and moved to Coquitlam in 1948 with their twins (Lorraine and Lawrence) to buy the Wood's hotel with Laura's family. In 1949 they sold the Wood's Hotel and bought the Commercial Hotel in Port Coquitlam. They moved to Port Coquitlam and had four more children; Michael, Suzanne, Daniel and Raymond. Fred always wanted to have an orchard so they moved to Summerland in 1982 where they bought their Orchard in Garnet Valley. They are very proud of their family which resulted in 17 grandchildren, 24 great grandchildren and 2 great great grandchildren. We want to wish them a wonderful 70th Anniversary.

Players go the distance to hone skills Two members of basketball team travel out of town to play John Arendt Two players on the Summerland Secondary School senior Rockets basketball team are also active in out-of-town teams as they pursue their sport. Abhi Lekhi, a Grade 12 student, also plays on the UBC-Okanagan team in Kelowna while Landon Brickenden, in Grade 11, spends four months each year with the Drive basketball team in Richmond. “We like the sport,” Lekhi said. “We pretty much live for it.” Lekhi’s dedication to his sport involves trips into Kelowna for team practices and games during the four-month season. The team schedule and Lekhi’s commute add up to a signifi-
cant time commitment, which requires him to work hard to achieve a balance with his academic workload. Despite the amount of time he devotes to basketball, he does not see it as a difficulty. “It’s a huge commitment but it’s not a sacrifice,” he said. “It’s something I love to do.” In addition to playing on teams, Lekhi has also organized three-on-three basketball tournaments in Summerland and has petitioned the school board to make improvements to the high school gym. Brickenden’s commitment to the game takes him out of the community from April to July. In Richmond, he stays with his uncle and aunt. His school work is done online. To prepare for his time in Richmond, Brickenden had the majority of his academic courses in the

first semester of the school year. In Richmond, he will continue with his English and Spanish courses. Lekhi and Brickenden have both played basketball
since they were young and have both been active on the Summerland Secondary School team. In addition, they were recently given all-star recognition in
the region. The recognition is for their achievements in the sport, but it does not involve playing on all-star teams. “I have been coach-
ing basketball players for 25 years and Landon is the best leaper I have ever seen,” Dave Stathers, coach of the Rockets said of Brickenden. He also noted
Lekhi’s skill and love of the game. “Abhi is a coach’s dream: a strong leader, good role model, great skills and wonderful passion for the game,” he said.
Kripps competes in bobsleigh championships Summerland bobsleigh athlete Justin Kripps is competing at the World Championships in Winterberg, Germany. The championships began on Tuesday and will continue to March 7 and will feature two-person and four-person competitions. “This has been a long and difficult season, with 10 weeks of racing in Europe in the second half,” Kripps said. “It has been a grind but we’re still having some decent results in spite of it all. We have managed to move up a bit in the world rankings, which is good.” He said the track is flat near the top, but has more difficult sections near the bottom. “The keys are going to be big start times and being clean through the tricky sections,” he said. Kripps expects the toughest competition will be from the Latvians, as well as the Germans, who will have the home track advantage. Kripps and his
teammates finished place in the twofourth in the two- person and in ninth and fourperson events at “This has been a long the last and difficult season, W o r l d with 10 weeks of racing C u p event in in Europe in the second S o c h i , half.

When she retired, she worked part-time at the Okanagan Regional Library - a job she absolutely adored. Rose is survived by her brother, Herb Moore; her three children, James, Carol, and Jo-Anne; her two grandchildren, Andrea and Cheryl ; and her great-grandchildren, Shayla, Callum, Hamish and Libby. Rose will be remembered for her adventurous spirit; her love of travel, crosswords and reading; and her delicious baking (especially her legendary cinnamon buns!) . A memorial service will take place in Summerland this Spring. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.firstmemorialfuneralkelowna.com. Arrangements entrusted with First Memorial Funeral Services, Kelowna. 250-762-2299
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of John Wesley Park, on February 5, 2015 at the age of 80 years. John passed away peacefully with his daughter by his side at Penticton Regional Hospital. He is survived by his children: Kevin (Ivy), Karen (Victor) and Derrick (Sue), grandchildren: Peter, David, Brandon, Katie and Dylan, great grandchildren Harmony and Tamara. Amongst his immediate family, he leaves behind two brothers, three sisters and many nieces, nephews and friends. He was predeceased by his loving wife Shirley, son Michael, parents John and Stella and brother Gordon. John served in the Royal Canadian Navy for 15 years where he moved from coast to coast, in two year increments, eventually landing in Ladner, BC. During his time in the service, he was affectionately known as “Jake� and enjoyed participating in hockey and curling with his Navy friends. After leaving the RCN in 1970, he embarked on a successful real-estate career where he became one of Richmond’s top performing salespersons through hard work, dedication, honesty, integrity and most of all, putting his client’s interests first. He served one term on the Greater Vancouver Real Estate board as secretary and was known to many of his peers as “Honest John.� He loved the outdoors and shared many adventures camping, hunting and fishing throughout the years with his family and friends. His love of gardening eventually became a career as he worked for the Vander Zalm’s at Fantasy Gardens and the City of Richmond, before retiring to the Okanagan. Those that had the opportunity to know John knew him as selfless, as he would do almost anything for his family and friends and would give the shirt off his back for those in need. He will be missed greatly, but his loved ones take solace knowing that he is now at peace. Even through his suffering, he maintained his optimism and humour, always having time to tell a story or a joke. A celebration of John’s life will be held with family and friends in the summer of 2015. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation, Vancouver, BC. Condolences may be sent to the family through www.providencefuneralhomes.com. 250-494-7752

Examining mugs
Tina Thistlewood examines some of the mugs at Cafe Noir, a fundraising evening for the Summerland Community Arts Council. The fundraising evening was held on Saturday at the Arts Centre on Main Street.
Fundraising evening benefitted Arts Council What do you get when you combine soft guitar chords, beautiful pottery mugs, decadent desserts, fancy coffee and Oraniensteiner wine? Cafe Noir. What an evening. The Summerland Bakers created the most amazing and delicious desserts. Once again the Summerland Pottery Guild supplied beautiful handcrafted pottery mugs that we all got to take home as a reminder of a wonderful evening. Many people didn’t wait until the following morning to try out their new coffee mugs, they took advantage of being able to indulge in a fancy coffee created by Darin Fair of Lone Tree Coffee Company who was there with his special coffee maker. Sonoran Estate Winery had an array of wonderful wines including the only Oraniensteiner
table wine in Canada and their Happy Dragon fortified red wine. How well that port went with the delectable chocolate desserts. All of which was enjoyed while listening to the guitar music of Sean Perdue and Dean Hanenberg of Almost a Few. For photos of this event check out the Facebook pages of both the Summerland Bakers and the Summerland Community Art Council as well as the Summerland Baker’s blog at summerlandbakers. wordpress.com. There is still an opportunity to see the musical Beauty and the Beast at Centre Stage. But don’t delay as this Summerland Secondary production finishes Saturday evening. As always, these high school drama productions are incredible. Love and laughter hit the stage, when a • Lovely 1240 sq ft ground floor corner condo close to town • Modern paint, countertops, backsplash, crown molding & appliances • Great patio with barbeque area and flower garden • Covered parking and storage unit MLS®
