Council secures meetings with provincial politicians Members of Summerland’s council met with the premier and provincial ministers during the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference last week in Vancouver. “UBCM was very successful for Summerland council and staff,” said Mayor Peter Waterman. “In addition to valuable educational sessions offered, Summerland was

fortunate to secure meetings with the Premier and many provincial ministers to discuss issues important to our community.” Council started out the conference by meeting with Premier Christy Clark to discuss general aspects of advancing the high-tech agri-business sector and to ask for provincial assistance in dealing with

the perpetual slide adjacent to Tr o u t Creek C a n yon. Peter T h e c o n - Waterman cerns about the perpetual slide were also raised in a meeting with Naomi Yamamoto, Minister of

State for Emergency Preparedness. Council also met with John Rustad, Minister of Aboriginal Relations, to ask for help in advancing relations with Summerland’s First Nations neighbours. Council met with Norm Letnick, Minister of Agriculture, to further explore options for advancing the food biotech industry.

A meeting with Todd Stone, Minister of Transportation, covered issues about speed zones and safety issues on Highway 97. Meeting with Mike DeJong, Minister of Finance, council raised concerns about a residential energy rebate program, which is affecting a number of Summerland electrical customers.

Scholarship funding available Ten students in the South Okanagan will receive a boost to their college fund next spring as a result of an award fund. The Rick and Yasmin Thorpe and Friends Scholarship Fund will mark its 10th year of awards in 2016. “We wanted to do something special for students of the

region,” said Rick Thorpe. The Thorpes have announced 10 scholarships, valued at $2,500 each, for qualified students enrolling in first-year studies at Okanagan College in 2016. Since the fund was established in 2006, more than $70,000 has been awarded to 30 recipients at the

/summerlandreview

college. The Thorpes have also established awards for students entering or continuing studies at UBC Okanagan. Students there have received more than $55,000 in awards. “Looking back over the last 10 years, we are reminded of so many wonderful interactions with students,” said Yasmin Thorpe. “It is always such a pleasure to meet the recipients, hear their goals for the future,

and share in their excitement.” “Seeing this fund help young people follow their dreams of higher education has been incredibly meaningful to us,” Rick Thorpe added. The scholarships assist students who are a graduate of, or will be graduating from, a secondary school located on the west side of Okanagan Lake, from Penticton to Killiney Beach, registering in full‐time studies at the College. The award also supports students already enrolled at the College who are continuing their studies. Recipients must be undertaking courses in business, viticulture, agriculture, engineering, tourism/hospitality, trades, technologies, English or creative

writing, science or nursing. The Thorpes are longtime supporters of Okanagan College. In 2011, both served as honorary chairs of the $5-million fundraising campaign behind the construction of the Jim Pattison Centre of Excellence at the Penticton campus; the Thorpes personally committed $50,000 to the project. Yasmin was named an Honorary Fellow of the College in 2012. The application deadline for the 2016 Rick and Yasmin Thorpe and Friends Scholarships will be March 4, 2016. Students are encouraged to review the application guidelines at www.okanagan.bc.ca/awards or email financialaid@ okanagan.bc.ca for more information.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company Member – Canadian Investor Protection Fund

Youthful Crime We have all heard that today's children are 'growing up' far faster that in generations past. Societal and technological advances have accelerated the rate that our children learn. They have also lowered the age our children get exposed to many different influences. A recent study has shown that the most likely time for Canadian Offenders to commit a robbery is 17 years old. Before and after that age it is less likely for a person to be involved in that crime. I think that most people would be shocked to see that statistic. Unfortunately, we have to deal with the bad side of 'growing up' early along with the good things that it brings. Obviously the vast majority of young adults do not choose this path, however it would seem that those who commit criminal acts are doing so very early in their young adult lives.

EDITORIAL Finding businesses The Summerland Chamber of Commerce’s new website features a clean design and an organization system which is easy to navigate, as well as information about Summerland businesses. The website, at summerlandchamber. com, has information about Summerland and about the chamber, in addition to the business directory. While the changes to the appearance of the site may be most noticeable, the improvements to the business directory are the most important part of the redesign. The directory is now easier for users to search and find the businesses they need. The Summerland Chamber has more than 700 member businesses. While some of these, such as retail and hospitality businesses, are easy to find, there are also many smaller operations and home-based businesses, providing good service and good value for their customers. Before the redesign, the directory received more than 400 hits each day. This indicates there is a strong interest in finding and using Summerland businesses. With an enhanced and improved search function, it is possible many more will use the directory when they need to find a business to meet their needs. The benefit to the individual businesses is obvious, but the directory will also help the community as a whole. When money is spent at local businesses, it tends to recirculate and stay within the community. This value of shopping locally has been stated time and again, as has the message about the importance of customers supporting local businesses. However, the message by itself is not enough. In order for customers to support businesses in the community, it is essential that they are able to find what they need, quickly and easily. The need for good promotion for a business and for a community cannot be overstated.

A salute to our first responders

This week, we published a feature in recognition of our Summerland firefighters and their contribution to Summerland. Volunteer men and women are key to this department and they should receive a pat on the back. I don’t think we give our emergency personnel a fair shake. In general, we say the right things when it comes to thanking our first responders, police, paramedics and firefighters. However at budget time, the gloves come off. These are men and women that run in the direction of danger. We resent their salaries and their requests for updated equipment. We question why they require new buildings or why they need to hire staff. Heaven forbid if we see them having a coffee break. I would consider myself a fiscal conservative. I want

From here

Rob Murphy my local, provincial and federal government to manage their finances responsibly. I think most people would agree with that. I also think most people want the fire department to be able to put out their house fire, the police to keep crime at bay and paramedics to save their lives should the worst occur. In a past life, I worked in a nightclub. Some of the security and medical situations I witnessed gave me a new perspective on the risk and training involved to be a first responder. Along the

way, I got to know several of them. They all take their job seriously and with honour. I am lucky to count many of them as friends to this day. Investments in staff, equipment and training will only make these services better. Of course, these kinds of budget decisions come at a cost. A different perspective might be required. I think our prior-

own eyes. I highly doubt it would be as easy to slice and dice budgets if they saw things from the point of view of a first responder. Unfortunately, under normal circumstances, something bad has to happen before we all see the value of these investments. Criticism of first responders isn’t just reserved for budget time. The war on emer-

I would encourage our local municipal, provincial and federal leaders to ride along and see what our emergency staff deal with in an average day. This approach has worked for other services. There is nothing like seeing with your

gency services has been going on for years. Social media has made this infinitely worse. Every day, we see an amateur video featuring emergency personnel in a negative light. Some of these cases are justified. My point is that we rarely hear the good stories. In my opinion, the good stories outweigh the

bad. The media is a willing accomplice to this war. Negative stories sell newspapers, provide TV ratings, page views... you get the point. My message here is a simple one. Before you share that negative story, or criticize the budgets given to our emergency services, think. Think about a circumstance where you needed them and they came through. Think about some of the things they are forced to see and deal with. Think about them running in the direction of danger, instead of away from it. Share the good stories when you hear them and count your blessings for every day that we don’t have an event requiring their services. Also don’t forget to say a kind word when you see them around town. They have earned it. Rob Murphy is the sales manager of the Summerland Review.

Summerland Review Thursday, October 1, 2015

Chickens belong on farm land Dear Editor: I commend Council on asking for “Chicken Feed Back” in our September 2015 Newsletter. Here is my feedback on the proposed bylaw to allow chickens to be kept in residential zones. At first I considered making comments on the humorous side – like “Stop

the Cluck”…etc., but then I realized this is no laughing matter. As a Summerland resident in a nonagricultural zone, I am opposed to the entire proposal for many reasons. Having lived in other towns that allowed this I speak from experience. This is not a good idea. How on earth

do you think a bylaw enforcement officer will be able to keep on top of all the regulations in enforcing the bylaw — easy to say “no roosters, no burying dead chickens on the property, they must be kept in a coop, no selling of eggs or meat” etc. — nice try. But realistic? The smell in the summer, yes even

from “up to five allowed chickens,” is not pleasant. The varmints they attract are as unsavoury. How about the real estate factor — selling your house now or in the future. Would you buy a house next to a neighbor with “harmless” chickens? I completely agree with Karen Matheson’s views express-

ing her opposition to this proposed bylaw stated in her recent letter to the Summerland Review. Keep the chickens on the highly prized, valued and designated agricultural land, not in residential areas. This proposal does impact our taxes directly. I urge you all to keep in mind that the residential tax payers

of Summerland are already taxed to the hilt. Of all the brilliant ideas tossed around leading up to the last election on new development and business plus attracting folks to our lovely town and searching out growth and development, this is not at all what I expected of the “new

blood on council” nearly a year later. As for our newly painted rainbow crosswalks, first the safety factor worries me. Visibility is very poor, day or night. Second, I think the way to make everyone feel “inclusive and welcome” is to not single them out. Barbara Robson Summerland

THE EARLY YEARS

Powering up

Lower Summerland, ca. 1912. The S.S. Okanagan at the wharf, the calm waters of Okanagan Lake, traffic-free streets—this photo provides a good opportunity to plug the newest exhibit at the Museum--Technology. Summerland was the first community on Okanagan Lake to have electricity (1905—note the power poles) followed by a telephone system (1907—the small square building on the right is the telephone office situated on, of course, Telegraph Hill.) Charles Peel Nelson, Summerland pioneer and noted photographer, took this beautiful panoramic photo. The Museum exhibit features artefacts from Nelson’s glass negative camera to 45 rpm records and the first Mac computers. Drop in and see how far we’ve come.

Many groups deserve crosswalk recognition Dear Editor: I have been reading with interest some of the letters regarding the rainbow crosswalks. There seems to be some confusion over the way we have differing opinions. It

seems as though if someone disagrees with the way their tax dollars are spent, they get labelled as hateful, or witches or I’ve heard Hitlers or Nazis. I personally really don’t like the look

of the new library that my tax dollars have built. Does that make me hateful or a witch? If we want to address every group that has been persecuted I guess we could try that.

If Jill Thomas is familiar with her Bible, she will know that the Christians have been persecuted for thousands of years. Could we have a few crosswalks with maybe a Jesus fish on them?

How about the Jews? A star of David? Maybe the taxpayers would be willing to pay for say a dream catcher to symbolize persecution for First Nations painted on a few crosswalks.

How about the Japanese, the Ukrainians, the Chinese? We could go on and on. I personally think the Saskatchewan Roughriders are being persecuted this year and I would like

to see their emblem on a crosswalk to bolster their “Rider Pride.” If you would disagree I have to wonder, does that make you a witch? Harv Brown Summerland

Thursday, October 1, 2015 Summerland Review

Chickens do not belong in town Dear Editor: We wish to respond to both Barbara Robson’s letter to the editor and Karen Matheson’s views expressing opposition to the proposed bylaw with regards to chickens in the back yards of private homes in Summerland. We totally agree with both views. We have lived in the middle and far east as well as South Africa and have experienced first hand chickens, from a few to many, in residential back yards, and also experienced

If you got this card, you’re ready to vote!

the numerous vermin that chicken coops and yards produce. These vermin can be anything from mice, rats, snakes, racoons and animals of prey such as coyotes, bears and wolves, and any other animal that is hungry. It might be fine for someone who has a minimum of three to five acres outside the town boundaries, but a house lot within town boundaries, small or large, is definitely not the place for chickens and their coop, no matter the number. In addition, the smell is at times unbelievable to those in the nearby area and just wait until the wind blows. Who knows how far the smell will travel. This is definitely nothing that our busy town council should be wasting their time and energy on. You’ve done your due diligence; now get on with the bigger questions and problems of running a first-class town properly, such as employ-

ment, aiding new businesses, lowering our electricity costs, water purification or lack of, etc. What about education? What can you as a council do to aid children in their education or any afterschool programs for Kindergarten to Grade 12? As for Mrs. Robson’s note on the rainbow crosswalks in Summerland, we are in total agreement that the way to make everyone feel “inclusive and welcome” is not to single them out. Also, the money spent on these two crosswalks, approximately $4,000 plus labour, could easily go into breakfast assistance at our Summerland elementary schools for the needy and unfed children or something along that line.This would certainly give these children a better chance at a more productive education when their stomachs are full. Maarten and Beth Bonten Summerland

Dear Editor: What a waste of $3,900 hard earned, tax dollars on these rainbow crosswalks. First, council should have reached out to the community for their input on this issue prior to arbitrarily painting the crosswalks. Second, crosswalks are painted white for a reason so drivers can see them clearly for safety concerns. A coloured crosswalk in a school area is distracting and dangerous because it blends in with the surroundings.

Third, I do not understand why some people have to be recognized by special symbols to be accepted. Do you see the orchardists or farmers painting apples or cows all over town to be recognized or accepted? No! Finally, I totally disagree with our tax dollars defacing our community with rainbow paint. There are far more important issues for our tax money in Summerland. Just my opinion. Mary Lou Dunn Summerland

Film crews were in Summerland on Thursday as the Kettle Valley Steam Railway’s locomotive was used as part of an upcoming movie. Details of the movie were not available. The 1912 locomotive has been used in numerous motion pictures and television shows over the years.

The inner children take over city hall We’re seeing the effects of our post-literate, feelings-based education system and media on the federal election. Candidate bozo eruptions are becoming more frequent. Most recently a Liberal candidate on Vancouver Island admitted she has long believed that hijacked jetliners could not have destroyed the World Trade Centre on 9-11, that it was all “a lie.” That was “my truth,” she said, in the lingo of the feelings-first, inner-child crowd. Now she’s “moved on” to a slightly different fact-free conclusion, that we’ll just never know how those 3,000 people were murdered. And she wants to go to Ottawa and help run this country. Feelings-based beliefs were on display again at last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver, where bozo eruptions by local politicians come in bunches. This year’s main outbreak was an emotional demand that the B.C. government enact a provincial bill of rights. This magic municipal Magna Carta “recognizes the right of every resident to live in a healthy

B.C. Views

Tom Fletcher environment, including the right to clean air, clean water and vibrant ecosystems.” Alert taxpayers may wonder, how many lawyers would it take to define “vibrant”? More on that in a moment. Local councils across B.C. and around the country have been pitched this scheme by the David Suzuki Foundation, which calls it the Blue Dot campaign. In short, it’s part of the bigger plan to save the planet by crushing capitalism, currently being pushed by the Pope, the UN and others. Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps was one of the most passionate backers. She quoted the plea presented to her council by an 11-year-old recruited by the Blue Dot team. There are many such children, terrified by indoctrination

about the imminent destruction of Earth and all its cuddly creatures that has bombarded them since they learned to speak. They are found in the wealthiest countries in human history, those enjoying health, comfort and opportunity not imagined by anyone 100 years ago. In the vast, airconditioned hall of the Vancouver Convention Centre, there were several attempts at adult supervision. Coquitlam Coun. Terry O’Neill noted that unlike intrinsic rights articulated in Canada’s charter, freedom of assembly and so forth, this is an attempt to invent new rights that are actually demands for “others to do something for you.” Indeed, if we’re going to have government by 11-yearolds, we might as well throw in a right to free ice cream. Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz went off on a rant about how this new “vision” would protect us from things like Volkswagen fiddling its diesel fuel emission results. The resolution calls for “access to justice when environmental rights are infringed,” which sounds like

code for some sort of costly new legal aid program to pursue every individual grievance. Meanwhile in the real world, class action lawsuits are being prepared to gain compensation for lost resale value of millions of cars. This is what happens in fortunate places like Canada that already have access to justice. O’Neill read off a long list of existing B.C. legislation that protects water, air, wildlife, food, public health and so on. Helps replied that this bill of rights would “consolidate” all that. One more layer of bureaucracy, that’s the Victoria spirit. Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb pleaded with rural delegates to reject this “David Suzuki propaganda” that is designed to put more roadblocks in the way of the very resource industries that provide our modern comforts. Alas, the resolution passed in a show of hands that should have been, but wasn’t, put to a counted vote. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Diverse range of businesses added This month the Summerland Chamber is once again pleased to welcome a diverse range of new businesses to Summerland from entertainment to childcare. In the agricultural sector, Van Doren Sales North, Inc. has set up a base in Summerland to provide a northern arm for their company, which has almost 70 years of experience designing and building custom fruit and containerhandling equipment for cleaning, waxing, sorting, packing, and boxing fruit.

Businesses make the news

In the past month local businesses have been making the news as they have embraced some old traditions. Okanagan Crush Pad was featured this week on CTV News Vancouver to discuss the debate over using concrete rather than oak barrels, particularly for red wine. Crush Pad discussed how their wines “raised in concrete” processes highlight the tastes unique to the region rather than using the traditional oak taste of a barrel. On Global TV two local cideries were the focus of a profile talking about the rise in the sale of cider in BC Liquor Stores by over 20 per cent since 2014. Both Ron

Vollo of the Summerland Heritage Cider Company and Mike Harris of Dominion Cider Co. discussed their love of cider, the heritage of cider apple growing in Summerland and the growth in popularity of craft cider alongside the increased interest in farm-based products.

Raising profiles

Local businesses have been raising their profile through everything from more customer-friendly, responsive websites to new videos. This month The Beanery Café launched a crisp and visual website that fully captures the feel of the location, highlighting their staff and their product. Thornhaven Estates Winery also launched their new website with an online shopping cart to make purchasing their wine easier, even from the comfort of your own home. A few days ago the Summerland Waterfront Resort launched a short video that includes sweeping aerial shots, intimate

interiors and their large range of amenities, whilst highlighting its extensive activities and beautiful location.

New services

Two of our businesses in town are offering innovative new services to make their customers lives more aesthetically pleasing and convenient. The Dog Den, a licensed grooming, day care and u-bathing facility operating in downtown Summerland for the past four years has added luxury new services to its business. Jenn Peters has opened her own shop within the Dog Den called The Wag Spa. As suggested by the name Jenn will be providing both regular grooming and ‘Spa Packages’ including blueberry facials and oatmeal ease baths. For beautifying the human, Brenda Yunker’s Eyes4You Eyewear has now launched its mobile eyewear store to help you choose your style bringing their services to you at home – her new website will give you a quick preview

of what’s on offer.

Anniversaries

On Sept. 19, Local Lounge Grille celebrated the six-year anniversary of serving their first guests in 2009 at the beautiful lakeside location. Their menu, that blends classic styles with seasonal Pacific Northwest inspired ingredients, has encouraged people to support their mantra of “Eat Local. Drink Local. Be Local.” On Sept. 28, Okanagan Crush Pad celebrated their fourth anniversary. The last four years has seen them meet significant milestones including Switchback Vineyard receiving organic certification this year and the expansion of their production and services. Their unique use of traditional techniques, such as concrete vessels, has proved influential and has raised their profile within the wine industry. Vicky Jones is the communications and membership coordinator at the Summerland Chamber of Commerce.

“urban deer management operations,” with an advisory committee to guide communities in reducing the risks and damage they cause. The province is responsible for wildlife management, but the government wants solutions to be developed locally. Some communities have resorted to killing deer, with mixed success and sometimes intense local opposition, while others suggest birth control, relocation

or “hazing” of deer using dogs to keep them away from communities. A B.C. government fact sheet advises that if deer are to be killed, they should caught in traps that look like oversized hockey nets, then shot with a bolt gun at close range. Provincial staff can lend available equipment and issue permits to manage deer populations in or near urban areas, or develop hunting regulations for local situations.

Using dogs to chase deer is illegal under wildlife protection legislation, but a permit was issued to Kimberley to do a controlled trial in 2013. City council declared the trial a success, at a cost of $300 or more a day to deploy trained dogs and handlers. Invermere council found itself embroiled in legal action brought by a group of opponents, despite a local survey that found more than 70 per cent public support for a deer cull. Invermere officials were dealing with complaints of aggressive deer, deer eating garbage and appearing unhealthy, cougars encroaching on the community to prey on urban deer and deer deaths that appeared to be from unlawful action. After multiple resolutions brought to the Union of B.C.

Municipalities convention in recent years, the province responded this week with the offer of funding and continued research. Municipalities must obtain permits from the forests ministry before attempting relocation, hazing, contraceptive measures that require handling of deer, or culls. The advisory committee, not yet named, is to continue developing standardized methods, such as how to safely process and distribute meat from deer that are killed. In rural Central Saanich, permits have been issued to use shotguns or bows against deer to protect crops. Another task for the committee will be to develop public consultation on methods of deer control, to head off protests, legal challenges and vigilante action.

In the weeks leading up to the Oct. 19 federal election, the Summerland Review is asking questions of the four candidates in the riding of South Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola. If you are elected but your party is not the governing party, how will you ensure our concerns are heard at the federal level?

extreme language and excessive partisanship might make for great headlines however these things all serve as barriers to productive governance. People deserve to be heard and treated respectfully to create positive working relationships that get results. That has always been my goal and will continue to be my focus regardless of who forms government.

I have a proven track record of negotiating agreement between parties with longstanding disagreements and this will be a significant asset should I be elected but the Liberal Party not form government. I take this responsibility very seriously and I will advocate for this riding to the best of my ability regardless of what party forms government.

My Private Members Bill that opened the Canadians wine market for our local vintners was passed both in the House of Commons and the Senate with unanimous support. It is rare to achieve unanimous support on anything in Ottawa and this reflects my approach to work with other elected officials and public servants respectfully and collaboratively. Those who read my weekly reports will know I avoid excessive partisanship and do not use profanity or alarmist language when in the House of Commons. During my four years as a Member of Parliament for Okanagan-Coquihalla I have maintained a positive working relationship with all local Mayors and council, MLAs, local First Nations leaders and senior staff at various levels of government. In my view the importance of people working together is how things get done. Finger pointing, heavy rhetoric,

Region’s fire ban rescinded in part The fire ban for the Kamloops Fire Centre is going to be partially rescinded. Effective at noon on Oct. 1, the current open burning ban will be rescinded, with the existing Category Two and Three burning prohibitions remaining in place until Oct. 15, or until the public is informed otherwise. The open fire prohibition applies to the burning of any waste, slash or other materi-

als, the burning of stubble or grass and the use of fireworks, sky lanterns or burning barrels. The prohibition does not ban campfires that are a halfmetre high by a halfmetre wide or smaller and does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes. Anyone who lights a fire must have sufficient personnel, water and tools to prevent the fire from escaping.

Anxious Sleeplessness

At Pharmasave we see a large number of clients experiencing difficulty sleeping. The health effects of sleep deprivation are far reaching and range from simple drowsiness and poor concentration to depression, weight gain, hormone imbalance and heart issues. For many, simply supplementing with the hormone Melatonin helps reset their natural sleep rhythm. As we age we produce less melatonin and getting to sleep can be a little more challenging than it once was. Supplementing with Melatonin is an easy solution. Sometimes, however, sleeplessness is caused by anxiety due to a “busy mind”. In this instance, even though one is tired, as soon as their head hits the pillow all of the thoughts of the day (regardless of whether the day is present, past or in the future) come pouring in and the constant concentration on these thoughts prevent us from reaching a restful sleep. For the “busy mind” my recommendation is a supplement containing Passionflower. Passionflower has been clinically proven to be effective for reducing feelings of anxiety and invasive thoughts and promoting a relaxed state. Two supplements which come to mind are Flora’s Sleep Essence liquid and Pascoe’s Pascoflair tablets. Sleep Essence is a herbal liquid formula containing Passionflower along with other herbal extracts which bring about a relaxed state without any habit forming ingredients. Pascoflair is a Passionflower supplement alone in tablet form providing all the benefits Passionflower has to offer. If you are suffering from difficulty sleeping it’s important to speak with your doctor or pharmacist about possible causes. Sleeplessness can be caused by some prescription medications and even some over-the-counter medications and your health care professional will be able to determine what will help best. If it’s a “busy mind” that’s keeping you awake then Passionflower supplements may be just the thing to help you get a good night’s rest. For more information about sleeplessness and what treatment might be right for you, speak to the Live Well team at Pharmasave. - Dan Cassidy, Nutritional Product Advisor

Importance of smoke alarms emphasized Homeowners must focus on both the location and age of their smoke alarms to ensure family members will wake up during an overnight fire, says a safety expert. At least one-half of all home fire deaths occur between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., the time when most people are asleep.

To emphasize the importance of being awakened during an overnight fire emergency, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has coined its theme for its 2015 Fire Prevention Week – “Hear The Beep Where You Sleep: Every Bedroom Needs A Working Smoke Alarm.”

Across North America, from Oct. 4 to 10, fire departments will be out en masse reinforcing the basics of home fire safety. Fire Prevention Week garners huge support in Canada, so much so that classroom educational programs for teachers, primary school visits by firefighters and a myriad

other special community events extend the week into a month-long safety campaign. “We know that smoke alarms at least double your family’s chance of a safe escape. But to provide that critical early warning, they need to be installed in all the right locations and they need to be working,” says Carol Heller, a home safety specialist with smoke and carbon monoxide alarm manufacturer, Kidde Canada.

Although most cities, towns, provinces and territories have adopted their own version of Canada’s Building Code at a minimum, one smoke or combination smoke/CO alarm should be installed outside every sleeping area of a home. “Fire Prevention Week is a great time to remind people that if you’ve taken down a smoke alarm after burning the toast and forgotten to put it back up, or removed batteries and left an alarm

Beulah family donate to hospital

Peter and Fran Beulah’s ties with Summerland’s heritage go back decades – in Fran’s case, all her life. Now the couple have become significant donors to the South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation’s campaign to equip the new Patient Care Tower at Penticton Regional Hospital. Fran was born and raised in Summerland. Her father, Ted Atkinson founded Summerland Sweets in 1962. He served as reeve (mayor) of the municipality in the 1950s and sat on council for an incredible 18 years. “He started Summerland Sweets as a retirement project. It’s been going 52 years now – we’re in our 53rd year,” she said. Fran added that Summerland Sweets was originally launched as a Rotary project. “He was working at the (Agricultural) Research Station and he developed a fruit candy recipe. They sold that and it was a great success,” she recalled. Peter Beulah helped found Greenwood Forest Products in Penticton in 1983 and headed the company until his retirement in 2011. “It’s one of the few lumber remanufacturers left in British Columbia. Most of them have gone due to the recession and the strength of the Canadian dollar for a number of years,” he said.

The Beulahs have pledged to donate $30,000 over five years to the SOS Medical Foundation’s campaign to supply all the medical equipment for the PRH tower. “It’s a really good cause. We thought we should give something back to the community and the area. It’s kind of a nobrainer,” Peter said. “It’s pretty obvious that a good hospital, with state-of-the-art equipment, is essential.” The couple have no doubt that Summerland residents consider PRH their hospital and pointed to the $1-million funding commitment announced earlier this year by the Summerland Health-Care Auxiliary. “My Mom started the thrift shop here in Summerland years ago,” Fran said. “It’s obvious that Summerland people have to be supportive of the new hospital and the new facility,” Peter added. Construction of the new $325-million expansion at PRH will start in the spring of 2016 and be completed by late 2019. As part of the overall project funding, the South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation must raise $20 million for all the medical equipment in the new tower. The tower will include new surgical rooms, 84 singlepatient rooms, ambulatory care clinics and other facilities.

from more than three decades ago, filming for both seasons of Fargo took place in the Calgary area. “They have older buildings that have been around a lot longer. Then they have the crew come in and really transform it to make it look a lot more like 1979,” Todd said. “And everything is handmade – they don’t buy the clothes, they do the research and have people make them from scratch.” They also spent three months before production growing facial hair and gaining weight to give

their characters a more burly appearance. “It adds so much more to the character, grow or lose a bunch of hair. Once you film it’s immortalized, so this is the first time either one of us had been able to grow a big beard, and neither of us are big fans of beards,” Todd said. “Being able to give extra effort to make these characters real, even if it’s uncomfortable for a short period of time, I know in the long run it’s something that’s going to enhance the product forever,” said Brad.

While the Manns live in Vancouver, they enjoy returning to Summerland, especially to speak with students at the high school. “We like to talk to the drama students from time to time about film and television. We know from growing up in Summerland they don’t really teach you anything at all about film and television – just theatre – and we like to inform them,” Todd said “Since we’re first generation actors, nobody else in our family has ever chose this path, we learned a lot of things on our own,” Brad said. Season two features 10 episodes with the first premiering on Oct. 12 on FX.

Fitness and movement

Carole Patane will offer Zumba classes through the recreation department this fall. The recreation department also offers Hooked On Dancing, a popular exercise session.

Fall programs in the groove With fall programs well underway, it is always interesting to note which programs have immediate popularity, and which have a loyal steady or growing following over the years. Very few programs are the instant sensation as Paulette Wigston’s new class offered this fall. Her ‘Hooked On Dancing’ partner class had its registration numbers explode which demanded a second class being added. It’s wonderful seeing so many singles and couples enjoying their evenings moving, dancing and socializing. Another highlight this fall is Zumba with Carole Patane. This Latin inspired dance program was first offered by Carole through Summerland Recreation about a year ago. Watching Carole’s class size grow has been rewarding and beneficial to so many. This fall, her Zumba Party has more than 25 registrants and continues to grow. Carole comes from a health care background, with more than 30 years of experience in nursing and as a therapeutic

recreation therapist. Due to her background she has a heightened sense of awareness of client’s strengths, limitations and will ensure to modify dance style to match participant’s needs. At the time when Carole received her initial Zumba Basic 1 certificate (in 2012), she was suffering with pain due to different debilitating ailments. Zumba changed her life! The pain gradually subsided and she no longer needs any of the pain medication and well….what ailments? She continuously challenges herself and upgrades her skills: She possess Zumba Burst certificate (high interval intensity style of dance) and Zumba Sentao (using a chair as your dance partner), soon to add Aqua Zumba. Carole says, “I remember how it was when I first attended a Zumba Class. I thought I would never get the moves right. Soon I realized that it only mattered that I was moving! “Enjoy the music and let it take you. Develop your own ‘flavour’ and go with

Joanne Malar it! It is not about doing it perfectly; it is about dancing and having fun! I pride myself to have Zumba Fitness Dance Parties and not classes. After all Zumba is fitness in disguise. I love it when my participants let themselves get carried by the Dance Party mood!” On another realm of the health and fitness spectrum lies programming to calm the mind, reduce stress, and bring both physical and mental wellness. Recreation program Guided Imagery Relaxation with Sawako Higuchi has had a steady influx of people looking to improve their own specific areas in wellness. This fall her class has reached full capacity. Our experienced instructors continue to promote and pro-

vide our community’s health and wellness needs. Yoga and pilates are both staples in the health and fitness industry. Yoga instructor Cheryl Plewis has more than 15 years’ experience instructing and Marsha Saldat is in her 22nd year providing her yoga classes. Our community is fortunate to have classes run by instructors with such wealth of knowledge and expertise. It’s no wonder their programs continue to flourish. Pilates is a more recent addition to the Recreation programs and it too has hit its maximum intake with the talents of Instructor (and former dancer) Farren Tilitzky. If you are certified in a program that you would like to offer to our community through the Recreation Department, please contact jmalar@summerland.ca or call 250-494-0447 for more information. We are solidifying our January 2016 programming over the next month. Joanne Malar is the program coordinator for Summerland Recreation, threetime Olympic swim-

mer, 2012 Olympic Commentator, kinesiologist and holistic nutritionist.

Happy Birthday to Alina Urchyshyn On October 5th Alina will turn 97 years old and is an inspiration to all in our family! Alina and her husband Fred moved to the Okanagan in 1950 and she has to be a staunch supporter of the Summerland Community. For years she participated in the Summerland Fall Fair by entering her beautiful hardanger cloths, cross Stitch, vegetables and ďŹ&#x201A;owers. Alina still cans tomatoes from their garden, peaches, apricots and plum from their own trees. Now at 97 she enjoys maintaining her home and cooking up some lovely meals. Still bakes her own homemade bread and pies.

We all wish her a very Happy Birthday! 4HE "#30#! CARES FOR THOUSANDS OF ORPHANED ABAN DONED AND ABUSED DOGS EACH YEAR )F YOU CAN GIVE A HOMELESS DOG A SECOND CHANCE AT HAPPINESS PLEASE VISIT YOUR LOCAL SHELTER TODAY

Summerland Review Thursday, October 1, 2015

www.summerlandreview.com 23

Community helped move paperbacks When I first arrived in Summerland a few years ago, the first thing I did was make a bee line for the library. I did this partially because I needed a quiet place to work until we got settled into our house, but also because I’m drawn to libraries and always have been. It probably has a lot to do with why I became a writer in the first place. The Summerland library won me over immediately. Partially because

Douglas Paton I was impressed by what I saw—the selection of books, while not huge, was excellent—but also because it reminded me a lot of the library

in the little town of Gore Bay, where I grew up in Ontario. It was a great little library filled with helpful people and was full of not only the books you’d expect to find, best sellers and the like, but lots of books you’d never expect to find, those hidden gems that makes libraries truly wonderful places — it didn’t hurt that one of my own books was in the stacks as well, something I’d never had the pleasure of seeing before.

Not only do libraries do an excellent job of inspiring those who are looking for something different and educating those who are looking for a bit more knowledge, they’re also great at bringing communities together. This past Saturday, Sept. 26, was the last day the Summerland library was open in its old location. After they closed the doors for the last time, the most amazing thing happened. People from the community descended on

the library and organized themselves in a line of people from the old location to the new one to form what they were calling a “Paperback brigade.” Box after box filled with books made its way down the line of people, moving effortlessly from their old home to the new one. The pictures I saw of the event were, to say the least, just great. I wish I had been able to see it in person, as it must have been quite an impressive sight to

behold. In an era when people are bemoaning the ever-increasing reach of technology into the realm of traditional media like books and magazines, and at a time when more and more people are slowly digitizing their collections to help cut down on the amount of space their own personal libraries take up, the people of Summerland should be commended for going out there and helping move so many boxes of books

the way they did. I think it speaks volumes not only to the impact the Summerland library has had on the community, but also to the importance of books. The new branch of the Summerland library opens on Oct. 3 with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 9:30 a.m. and refreshments afterwards. I can’t wait to explore the new experiences the new branch has to offer. Douglas Paton is a Summerland writer and musician.

Museum exhibit shows technology Te c h n o l o g i c a l advances are on exhibit at the Summerland Museum’s latest exhibit, Technology. The exhibit was opened on Wednesday evening. It includes advances in telephones, typewriters, radios and televisions, cameras and more. For written communications, devices range from quill pens and a slate blackboard and writing stick to typewriters from the 20th century and computers from the 1970s and 1980s. Photographic developments include box cameras, Polaroid cameras and more. Andrea Sanders, administrator of the museum, said one of the most important parts of the exhibit is the camera used by Charles Peel Nelson. Nelson took many of the pictures in the museum’s collection. He also worked for the research station and documented the construction of the railway in the early

20th century. Telephones include wall-mounted and desktop phones from the 20th century, as well as some novelty phones in the shape of an apple, an airplane and a pickle.

A cabinet mounted stereo, a black and white television from the late 1950s and a video disc player are also included in the exhibit. The museum is at 9521 Wharton St.
