Mark Henderson, a municipal worker, installs a seasonal banner on Jubilee Road West on Tuesday morning. Municipal crews have been installing the banners and lights to mark the start of the festive season, which kicks off next week Friday with the Festival of Lights.

School options discussed Future of Giant’s Head School building remains uncertain John Arendt Members of the public raised their concerns about the future of Giant’s Head School during a public meeting on Nov. 12. The meeting, at the gym of the elementary school, drew an esti-

mated 120 people to consider nine options in response to declining enrolment. Seven of the options were outlined in a report from the Okanagan Skaha School District in late October. Two more were raised at a closed board meeting on Nov. 9. Linda Van Alphen, chair of the school board, said there were many suggestions and comments

offered during the evening session. Of the nine suggestions, one involves shutting down Giant’s Head School and transferring the students to Summerland Middle School, which would then house Kindergarten to Grade 7 students. Students from Grades 8 to 12 would attend Summerland Secondary School. While this option has raised

strongest concerns within Summerland, Van Alphen said all options under consideration would have an impact on students throughout the region. “No matter what we do, it’s going to affect every child in the district,” she said. Other options for consideration involve closing and reconfiguring various schools within Penticton. See DISTRICT Page 3

Camera crew

Film crews in Rachel Stubbert’s math class observe her teaching methods as they prepare for a documentary. The video will accompany Myron Dueck’s book, Grading Smarter, Not Harder.

Classess filmed for documentary Film crews were in Summerland and Penticton earlier this month to record teachers and students for an upcoming documentary. The filming took place Nov. 2 to 5 to create a video to accompany Myron Dueck’s book, Grading Smarter, Not Harder. Dueck, the vice-principal of Summerland Secondary School, wrote the book to help educators with grading. It was published by ASCD, an educational publishing company, in 2014 and has been used by teachers and educators across Canada and the United States. The book includes plenty of personal stories from incidents which changed the way

Dueck grades his students. The video shows teachers in the classroom. A total of eight teachers and classrooms were filmed. In Summerland, the teachers were home economics teacher Marnie Mennell, math teacher Rachel Stubbert, automotive teacher Troy Stubbert, math teacher Shona Becker and Dueck teaching leadership. In addition, chemistry teacher Ben Arcuri, biology teacher Scott Harkness and English teacher Chris Terris from Penticton Secondary School and English teacher Naryn Searcy from Princess Margaret Secondary School were also filmed.

He added that the filming was challenging for the teachers and students, as camera operators and other filming technicians, along with their equipment, were present in the classrooms. “I’m very thankful to the district for allowing it,” Dueck said of the filming project. “I’m grateful to the teachers who opened their classrooms and to the students. It could not have happened without them.” The one-hour documentary is expected to be released in January or February.

School science evening returns

Summerland Celebrates Science returns to Summerland Secondary School on Thursday, Nov. 19. Students from Jessa Arcuri’s Science 8 class and Shona Becker’s Biology 11 class will lead visitors through the hands-on science activities. Then, to end the evening’s events, Kirby Sands will present a science show in the Centre Stage Theatre. The doors open at 6 p.m. at Summerland Secondary School’s main entrance. This event is open to all ages and is completely free. It is brought to you by the PACs of Summerland Middle School and Summerland Secondary School and hosted by the young scientists of Summerland.

When a person passes away one of the first questions that must be answered is: Did the deceased have a valid will? If the answer is yes, then the process which must be followed to legally deal with their assets is called an application for Probate. If the deceased did not have a valid will then the process is called an application for Estate Administration. Both applications are essentially the same in that they list the assets to be dealt with, appoint a person to be in charge of the estate and then determine who receives those assets or the proceeds from the liquidation of those assets. Where they diverge is the method of determining who the beneficiaries are and the apportionment of the estate between those beneficiaries. In creating a will a person sets out their wishes for the distribution of their estate. Without a will the distribution of an estate is governed by the provisions of the Estate Administration Act. Those provisions are arbitrary and will require the involvement of the Public Trustee on behalf of minor beneficiaries. The consequences of passing away without a properly executed will drawn by your Lawyer can be financially and emotionally devastating to your family or beneficiaries. Without a will your survivors are left without any direction as to how your estate is to be distributed as well as any idea who should be in charge of distributing your estate. Even a very basic will covers these important matters. The passing of a loved one is traumatic enough without family members and survivors having to worry about legal issues. Proper legal advice at all stages of the process is essential to the smooth and worry free transmission of assets through an estate.

EDITORIAL Moving students As the school board considers how to respond to declining enrolments, it is easy and understandable for those of us in Summerland to seek ways to ensure Giant’s Head School remains open. However, it is important to remember that potential school closures will not just affect individual schools. Each of the nine options under consideration will have an impact on the entire student population in the region. Closing Giant’s Head School and moving the students there to the Summerland Middle School building would affect those who now live close to the elementary school. It would also change Summerland’s education model, since the community would no longer have a middle school for students from Grade 6 to Grade 8. If Summerland remains with the status quo — two elementary schools, a middle school and a high school — the issue of declining enrolment must still be considered. Summerland Middle School and Summerland Secondary School are both around 30 per cent under capacity. The costs of maintaining spaces much larger than required are significant and must be considered. While some have suggested student numbers will increase as young couples have children, the data used by the school district tells another story. Instead of an area with a thriving and growing number of families with young children, Summerland and Penticton have high numbers of retirees. Summerland’s population has been aging over the years and at present, the median age in this community is 52. This fact cannot be ignored. If trends change and the number of young families increases considerably, different strategies would be in order. For now, however, any plan must face the realities of today and the immediate future. This includes difficult decisions in order to deal with declining enrolment numbers.

Revenge or kindness — what’s your choice?

The news from Paris last Friday left the world stunned as 129 were killed and 352 were injured in a series of terrorist attacks in that city. After an initial shocked silence, people around the world responded to the attacks. On Facebook, some posted “Pray for Paris” messages, images of the Eiffel Tower or profile pictures in the colours of the French flag as a way of showing solidarity with the people of France. On Twitter, Paris residents used the hashtag #PorteOuverte (or “open door”) to offer shelter to visitors stranded following the attacks. The responses were tender and compassionate. Some talked of the need to take action so such attacks will not happen again. Then I looked at online news coverage and my heart sank. The comments following the stories took on a much

From here

John Arendt harsher, much more aggressive tone. The initial shock quickly gave way to blame, fingerpointing and calls for revenge and retaliation. Mourning was replaced with rage. The anti-Islamic comments began to appear even before ISIS (the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) had claimed responsibility for the attacks. Some commenters used the opportunity to condemn Muslims in general, not just the extremists. Others went farther, stating that all religious beliefs are responsible for acts of violence and thus should have no place

in our world. Many said similar terrorist attacks would happen here at home in North America, if Canada and the United States continued to open their doors to allow Muslim refugees to live here. Then there were the comments calling for an escalation of military force in Iraq, Syria and other countries affected by militant extrem-

The search for someone to blame and the quest for retaliation brought out the worst in some as angry, harsh words appeared in the comments. Many responded with emotion and extreme outbursts rather than thoughtful consideration. If the online commenters have as much pent-up fury as what I saw on my computer screen, there is good reason

Many responded with emotion and extreme outbursts rather than thoughtful consideration. ists. These comments quickly moved beyond the goal of stopping ISIS to a rallying cry for war. Just two days before the Paris attacks, during Remembrance Day and Veterans Day ceremonies, people around the world had taken time to mourn the losses suffered during times of war. It seems the Nov. 11 calls for peace were quickly forgotten.

for concern. What will it take to push some of these people from typing words of rage to unleashing acts of rage? How much will it take before some decide to move from harsh words posted online to vigilante justice or a militant mob out for revenge? Such incidents have happened in recent years, including in Europe and the

United States. Even a few such attacks can have a huge impact, escalating an already tense situation. It’s easy to view acts of violence as something entirely separate from the online comments which appeared following the Paris attacks, but doing so would be a mistake. The power of unchecked rage must not be overlooked. Words can lead to deeds. Attitudes can manifest themselves as actions. And anger can escalate until it culminates in violence and eventually in war. Friday’s attacks in Paris are tragic, senseless acts of violent extremism. How we react will determine what happens next. We may not be able to change the world, but we have the power to choose to respond with revenge or with kindness. What’s your choice? John Arendt is the editor of the Summerland Review.

The appearance of the nativity scene each holiday, shining down on the town, signalled and was synonymous with Christmas for more than one generation of Summerland residents. It looks like this lost tradition is about to make its return. Trying to get the old nativity scene back on its perch has been discussed more than once over the years, and in recent times has unfortunately been a subject of dissent by some non-Christian residents. I think it should be understood that the nativity scene is, first and foremost, part of the cultural heritage of our community, and need not be viewed as a religious symbol unless you choose to do so. Christmas, ironically, was a date strategically chosen by church leaders as a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus, even though it was known that Jesus was not born in winter.

THE EARLY YEARS

I have a lower denture that is really loose. Is there something I can do to make it fit better? Anonymous

Dr. Cindee Melashenko

You are not alone! Most people can adapt to an upper denture just fine, but the lower denture causes problems for most people. Here are three suggestions that can help in different ways and appeal to a variety of budgets: 1. Dental Implants. 2-4 dental implants on the lower can keep your denture from moving around and allow you to chew the foods you want. They give you a lot of security that your denture isn’t going to just fall out. Your denture will literally snap in place. 2. Soft Reline. Our lab can put a silicone soft material under your denture that is not only more comfortable but that can grab onto the tissues better and make the denture more secure and comfortable. Although it is not as secure as dental implants this material is better than the fit of your denture alone. 3. Denture Adhesives. There are a variety of products for sale that help keep your denture in better. Some products are good for one time use, others stay in your denture for a few days. I hope one of these can help make you happier about wearing your lower denture. If you don’t already have a dentist, please come and see us and we would be more than happy to discuss your options.

Store displayed donation containers Dear Editor: After reading John Dorn’s letter, Store did not display poppy tray, I went to Dollarama and asked the manager why they don’t support the Legion Poppy Drive. I was told it is Dollarama’s policy. I then went to Your Dollar Store and More and did not have to ask. Sitting on the check out counter was the Legion poppy tray. Also on the counter were two cans

for donations to BCSPCA and Critteraid. These are only a few of the numerous events and fund raisers that Allan and Catherine support to make Summerland a better place to live. According to Dollarama’s website there are now 900 stores in Canada. Also on their website they make the following statement. “We seek to enhance shareholder value

not only through exceptional business performance and practices, but also through responsible and effective communication.” I have to agree you have effectively communicated to all veterans across Canada. You don’t care about the sacrifices they have made. I will not shop at Dollarama. How about you? Lloyd Christopherson Summerland

Rainforests threatened by palm oil production Dear Editor: Re: PepsiCo and the destruction of Indonesia’s rainforests. Did you know that Indonesia’s invaluable and irreplaceable rainforests are currently on fire in order to open up land to produce palm oil. Palm oil is used in at least half of the products in your grocery store,including snack food made by PepsiCo. PepsiCo gets this oil from companies that are currently destroying these pristine rainforests. This practice is destroying wildlife, displacing thousands of people,

making untold millions of people vulnerable to long-term respiratory illnesses. To date PepsiCo has obfuscated their role in this travesty by hiding behind a woefully inadequate action plan that attempts to deflect their complicity in the continuing use of conflict palm 0il. The rainforests of Indonesia are an irreplaceable part of the earth’s lungs,providing oxygen that we and other organisms need to survive,while filtering out pollutants. Further, these forests are the only home for our relations such

as the endangered Sumatran tiger,orangutans, rhinos and tigers, not to mention thousands of invertebrates. I call upon you, the reader, to take action on behalf of the forests, wildlife and people of Indonesia. Spread the word, check food labels closely for the type and source oil used, tell your food supplier that you will not patronize them if they sell conflict palm oil products and phone or write PepsiCo directly with your concerns. Laurie Rockwell Summerland

Tune Agers offer musical opportunity Dear Editor: If you are driving between Summerland and Penticton Tuesday mornings, between 8:30 and 9 a.m., you may see a white haired lady in a Mercury Grand Marquis, and if she has her mouth open. It is not a prolonged yawn, she is not sleepy and it is not distracted driving. She is simply doing her voice warm up exercises before arriving at the Penticton Tune Agers choir practice.

If you enjoy singing, come and join us, with a special invitation to the bass, tenor and baritone voices. Group singing is the most exhilarating and transformative of all activities. It takes a sound that begins inside you, shares it with a roomful of people and it comes back as something even more thrilling: harmony. Both male and female voices, raised in song together, are required to create the beautiful harmony of a choir.

Besides the enjoyment, camaraderie and laughter, there is strong evidence that singing is one of our most healthy activities. “Regular exercising of the vocal cords can even prolong life,” according to research by vocal coach and singer Helen Astrid. “When you sing you automatically breathe deeper and the increased oxygen affects all parts of your body — not only your lungs and heart, but also your brain. Plus, your body produces feel good hormones called endorphins. It’s exactly the same when you eat a bar of chocolate. The good news with singing is that you don’t gain any calories.” Group singing is cheaper than therapy, healthier than drinking, and certainly more fun than working out. It is the one thing in life where feeling better is pretty much guaranteed. For more information contact: Gordon Dawson at 250-4929844, Annabelle Redman at 250-492-6662 or Peggy at 250-4871413.

Green shift returns, goes global VICTORIA – We will soon learn what Premier Christy Clark and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have in mind for Canada’s renewed effort to influence climate change. As they prepare to join the 40,000 people jetting to Paris for the next big United Nations summit to deal with human impact on the world’s weather, here is some context for what is to come in December and beyond. Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion served as environment minister under former Liberal prime minister Paul Martin. Then, as Liberal leader, Dion’s proposed “green shift” carbon tax was pivotal only in ending his leadership. With a majority government this time, he promises the entire federal cabinet will be involved.

Dion gave a revealing interview to The Globe and Mail last week about his experience in government. “The old system was to give the file of the environment to the minister of the environment and say, ‘deal with it, be the hero of the environment groups, but don’t bother us because we have jobs to create and an economy to grow’,” Dion said. “That will not work.” It certainly didn’t work, which is not surprising since Dion is admitting the Liberals considered the environment ministry a mere public relations tool. This was the period when Canada signed on to the Kyoto Protocol, then pretended to care about it as the United States rejected it in a unanimous vote of Congress.

We now understand more about those environmental groups, most funded by U.S. billionaires to target the Canadian oil and gas industry while the U.S. booms. Their tactics were on display in the defeat of the Keystone XL oil pipeline to the U.S., with arguments that even President Barack Obama acknowledged were exaggerated. Dion’s ill-fated “green shift” wasn’t just about greenhouse gases. He intended to impose a national carbon tax and use the proceeds to eliminate child poverty. This concept is back, on a global scale. If you’ve been to the movies lately, you may have seen a slick animated commercial sponsored by the UN, featuring animals running the world from the seats of the General

Assembly. “We have a plan,” trumpets the elegant llama at the podium, not only to fix climate change but to eliminate poverty as well. One problem with Kyoto was that it left emerging economies like China and India untouched. And while Canada endures false allegations of subsidizing fossil fuels, actual subsidies are huge in petro-states like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Algeria and Indonesia, where gasoline sells on average at a third of Canadian prices. China and India’s carbon emissions have about tripled since the Kyoto public relations gesture in 1997. That growth is one reason why Canada’s share of global emissions has now fallen to below two per cent. Here in B.C., Clark

B.C. Views

Tom Fletcher intends to unveil her “Climate 2.0” plan before heading to Paris. We’ll see if

it includes another increase in B.C.’s vaunted carbon tax, which now translates to about seven cents on a litre of gasoline. Even without carbon taxes, about a third of the pump price Canadians pay is federal, provincial and local tax. In Metro Vancouver, it’s closer to 40 per cent. In Venezuela, a big winner in the Keystone XL decision, gas sells for around two cents a litre. The B.C. govern-

ment admits its postcarbon tax reduction in greenhouse gas emissions was largely due to the global recession of 2008-09. Now with crude oil at historic low prices, B.C.’s carbon tax is a weak signal lost in the noise of a worldwide glut of oil and gas. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Food bank named in con Dear Editor: This afternoon I stopped to talk to a young man asking for change outside the Summerland Liquor Store. I suggested that he could find help at the Summerland Food Bank and Resource Centre (not disclosing that I was in fact its president). He informed me in very aggressive terms that our Summerland Food Bank was one of the most unhelpful he had ever encountered and that he had been rejected there because he was living between Summerland and Peachland and did not have a

permanent address. Rather than argue with him I immediately went to the food bank and asked our full-time resource coordinator to accompany me back to the liquor store where we discovered that this person had never asked the food bank for help. We invited him to come in later in the afternoon to pick up some food – he never arrived. Our assumption is that this person attempts to solicit sympathy and thus more money by telling shoppers that the food bank refuses to

help him. For the record our Summerland food bank stretches itself to the limit to provide assistance to anyone who demonstrates a need. In the year ending Oct. 31, 2015 we handed out 47 emergency hampers of food in addition to the more than 1,100 we provided to registered users of the food bank. Shoppers beware — you are being skillfully conned. John Bubb, President Summerland Food Bank and Resource Centre summerlandfoodbank.org Summerland

The youngest victim this year was 15, while the oldest was 66. Over the past 10 years, there have been 15 female victims of gang violence and there have been 35 mass gang shootings (involving multiple victims of gun violence at one location) claiming 85 victims.

Supplemental income program offered Carla McLeod Many people living on pensions, social assistance and disability benefits are forced to visit the local food bank in order to survive. In the hopes of finding another solution, the Summerland Food Bank and Resource Centre is in the process of trying to develop the Supplementary Income Program. This program, currently in its infancy, attempts to informally match up people receiving government benefits with employers that have a need for casual workers. “It’s important to see if we can create opportunities for people,” said Roch Fortin, a director for the Food Bank and Resource Centre. “I’m a firm believer that if you offer a solution, then you have to be part of the solution. We started working on a pilot project. We needed to try it out.” Fortin offered Jo-Anne Sexton and Rory Nurnberg temporary work at his business, doing what he called the “tedious task” of applying wax and labels to bottles of maple syrup. “I was waxing and Jo-Anne did the labels,” explained Nurnberg. We actually got pretty even paced and kept up with each other after a short while.” “It’s not rocket science for sure,” said Sexton, “but it gives

Halloween crafts

Students in Allyssa Hooper’s Kindergarten class in Toyokoro show the pumpkin crafts they made for Halloween. The students were also introduced to the custom of going door to door and asking for treats on Halloween night.

Over the past month I had the opportunity to celebrate and teach my students in Toyokoro about Halloween. Halloween has only recently been introduced into the Japanese culture and is therefore not celebrated to the same extent as it is in Western cultures. For example, Halloween decorations and traditional costumes are sold in department stores throughout Japan, but children do not dress up on Halloween night and go trick-or-treating. Throughout the month of October I celebrated Halloween with all of my students. We made many Halloween crafts, I dressed up as Olaf from Frozen, and I explained to them what children do for Halloween in Canada and America. The teachers and students were

Notes from toyokoro

Allyssa Hooper shocked to hear that children dress up and go door to door asking for candy. Many of the teachers said that they think it is way too dangerous to go walking at night and knocking on the doors of strangers’ houses just to get some free candy. I had to try to explain to them that it’s really not as scary and dangerous as it sounds, but I don’t think they believed me. On Halloween day, I was teaching at the Junior High School and I was expecting

some of the students to possibly be wearing costumes or to see decorations throughout the school, but there was nothing; it appeared to be just an ordinary day. I think that the Japanese people are fascinated by Western culture and the idea of Halloween, but they have not quite figured out how to appropriately incorporate it into their culture and lifestyle yet. Regardless, I had a lot of fun dressing up as Olaf and making pumpkin crafts with my students throughout the month. Now the stores are starting to fill with Christmas decorations, and I am looking forward to teaching and celebrating Christmas with all my students in December. Allyssa Hooper is in Summerland’s sister city of Toyokoro, Japan as the assistant English teacher.

Summerland to host fly tying nights As the warm weather gives way to the cooler weather of fall, people around town start to pack away their summer toys and get ready for the winter. For many, it’s a time to start creating things again. I know I certainly do most of my best work in the winter and I’m not alone. I’ve seen it time and time again posting that state that such and such a group meets, except during the summer. We’ve all had our summer to be inspired and now

it’s time to put that inspiration to work. Here’s a great example of what I was just talking about. Now that it’s almost too cold to sit in a boat for hours on end and, more appropriately, some of the lakes around here are starting to freeze, Summerland will be hosting the Okanagan Fly Tying nights. For those who aren’t familiar with fly tying, it’s an interesting art form. The goal is to create as accurate a reproduction of an

aquatic creature, anything from a mosquito pupae to a crayfish and just about anything else you could want to try and mimic, with the end result being to use it to catch a fish. Like most things fly fishing related, it’s a beautiful mixture of science and art. There’s just something amazing about wrapping a bit of wire, some feathers and, maybe, a bead around a tiny little hook and having that look enough like something natural to entice a fish into biting.

These tying nights bring out tiers from up and down the valley, from Kelowna down to Osoyoos with a wide range of experience levels, which is probably one of the best things about these nights: They make an excellent opportunity to learn something new. If you’ve been curious about tying for a while, or maybe you’re looking to get back into, this is the perfect opportunity to get out there and not only support a local group, but to learn from a great

group of people who are always happy to help out someone who’s just getting started. I can tell you as someone who’d never tied a fly before attending a meeting last year that there’s nothing quite like the joy of catching a fish using something you made yourself. The first fly tying night is Wednesday, Nov. 25 at the Royal Canadian Legion in Summerland and things kick off at 5:30 p.m. And, as I have been doing for the last few columns,

effort to design and build the Square Kilometre Array radiotelescope project. “One of the big challenges with a global project is communications. No matter how much you put out in terms of paper, emails, websites and that, nothing beats face to face meetings,” said the project’s director general, Dr. Philip Diamond. He notes that beside

the formal lectures and groups working on particular subjects, the informal meetings play a big role. “The coffee breaks, the lunch breaks, the evenings sitting in the bar, these are all essential tools for efficient communications,” said Diamond. The SKA project is an international effort to build the world’s largest radio telescope,

to be located in Australia and Africa. The scale of the SKA represents a huge leap forward in both engineering and research and development. The SKA will revolutionize our understanding of the Universe and the laws of fundamental physics. When finished SKA will be more sensitive than any other radio-telescope, and produce a

larger data flow from its receptors than the total global internet traffic. The conference in Penticton this week was the third annual “all hands” meeting of the engineering team for the project. Previous meetings were held in Freemantle, Australia and Manchester, England, where the project has its headquarters.

King receives empress crown A Summerland woman has been crowned empress of an international medieval alliance. Judith King, known in the Adrian Empire as Gabriele Silverhand, received the crown earlier this month in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Adrian Empire consists of people who meet regularly to play games from the medieval era. These involve medieval arts, science, chivalry, sword fighting, archery, bardic, clothing and foods. King and her husband Kevin formed the first Canadian chapter of the empire 10 years ago in Vernon. When they relocated to Summerland, they moved the chapter to the South Okanagan. There are now around 50 members in the South Okanagan and another 25 in Vernon. King has also served on the board of directors for the association for the past two years. The coronation is a prestigious event within the Adrian Empire, she said. She added that she is the first Canadian to receive the honour. The next event for the local chapter of the Adrian Empire is the November Symposium on Saturday, Nov. 21 at 126 Fish Lake Rd. The symposium event, which begins at noon, will focus on arts, science and general education.

Medieval coronation

Anthony DeRivi, known as Ser L’Bete deAcmd within the Adrian Empire and Judith King, known as Gabriele Silverhand, were crowned emperor and empress in Indianapolis earlier this month. King, from Summerland, has been active in the medieval society in British Columbia.

Thursday, November 19, 2015 Summerland Review

Books can help with transitions For many, myself included dealing with change is very difficult. It’s easy to stay within your little bubble where everything is calculated to your liking and nothing is unexpected or out of the ordinary. I wish I was writing to tell you how you can live like this and avoid change at all costs, but the reality is, things are always changing and there’s nothing you can do to stop it!

As a child, I remember when my mom told me that we were moving to a new house, I was devastated and all rational thought went out the window. It didn’t matter that the new house was much bigger and had a swimming pool, in my mind nothing could be better than my home with my playhouse. Despite all my efforts, I couldn’t convince my parents to stay and we ended up moving.

As expected, once I was settled in, all my reservations about the new house dissolved and it became the place where I felt most at ease. 13 years later, I learned that we were moving again and the previous feelings came rushing back. Even though I had gone through that type of change, it didn’t mean that I had gotten used to it. Instead of getting used to change, it is important to just

acknowledge and accept it. At first, it feels uncomfortable, but you adapt, it becomes your new comfort zone and you start to forget what it was like before the change. In the library we have many books on learning how to cope with all different kinds of changes in your life, and how to use them to your advantage. “Managing Transitions: Making the Most of Change” by William

Bridges, PhD and “Who Moved My Cheese? An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life” by Spencer Johnson are two books that I highly recommend for general change. There are also books for specific types of change such as “The Grief Club: The Secret to Getting through All Kinds of Change” by Melody Beattie which focuses on change through loss, whether it is

Kayley Robb drug addiction. Sometimes, we need to learn when change is necessary in our lives and how we can initiate it. When change is within your control, it can be harder than dealing with unavoidable change because you have the ability to procrastinate or you just don’t know where to begin. It can all be overwhelming but you can find a multitude of books on what types of changes need to be made to achieve your goals and where you can start. If this is something that interests you, I suggest looking into “Switch: How to Change things when Change is Hard” by Chip Heath and

“When Everything Changes, Change Everything: In a Time of Turmoil, A Pathway to Peace” by Neal Donald Walsch. There are also books about being afraid of change and learning how to deal with it for children. One series that comes to mind is the “Scaredy Squirrel” series by Melanie Watt. In this series, Scaredy Squirrel goes through many scary situations that are relatable to children, such as planning a party that takes an unfortunate turn, being alone in the dark and the frightening process of making new friends. I would suggest this series to any parent wanting to open the lines of communication with their child about change and what makes them afraid. Keep in mind what author Jim Rohn once said, “Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.” Kayley Robb is an Assistant Community Librarian at the Summerland Branch of the Okanagan Regional Library.

Teach online safety in school, experts urge Tom Fletcher Black Press

Instruction to protect children from “cyberbullying” should be included in B.C.’s new school curriculum, according to a new report from the province’s independent child welfare and privacy officers. The B.C. government’s school anti-bullying program was put in place in June 2012. Four months later, 15-year-old Amanda Todd posted a video of her online treatment before she killed herself at her Port Coquitlam home, putting an international face on the dangers faced by young people socializing online. Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond and Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham surveyed the laws and strategies in place inside and outside B.C. since then. Their report, presented Friday to the B.C. government, calls for more measures in schools in addition to the ERASE (Expect Respect And a Safe Education) strategy put in place in 2012. That strategy provides for anonymous reporting by students or parents of bullying, either online or in person. Education Minister Mike Bernier said Friday the new school curriculum, which began implementation this fall, already includes “a focus on bullying behaviour and discrimination starting in Grade 4.”

Summerland Review Thursday, November 19, 2015

Reform Act on the agenda All major parties have now had their first full caucus meetings in Ottawa. These first caucus meetings are important for a variety of reasons but one that will be material to this report is the provisions related to the Reform Act. For those of you unfamiliar with the Reform Act, it was a private member’s bill sponsored by MP Michael Chong. It proposed a number of measures to increase the power of individual Members of Parliament within their party caucus

LIKE US ON

/summerlandreview

A division of

and by extension to reduce the power of the party leader. The Reform Act was widely supported by media, many pundits and locally by a large number of citizens who took the time to share their support with me. Ultimately the Reform Act, after a number of amendments, was passed by both the House of Commons and the Senate and is now law. As the 42nd Parliament is the first to convene since the Reform Act was passed, one of the legal requirements at the first caucus meeting of a party is to vote on what, if any, measures of the Reform Act would be adopted by the MPs of each party caucus. The 99-member Conservative opposition caucus voted to adopt two of the four measures from the Reform Act and modified a third condition.

This contrasts with the Liberal government caucus who voted to reject any measure of the Reform Act with all 184 Liberal MPs unanimously agreeing to reject the Reform Act and maintain the status quo. The third party NDP has also announced they will not be supporting any measures of the Reform Act. It seems that the Conservative caucus is the only one to do so. Considering that the Reform Act Passed with the overwhelming support of Liberal, Conservative and NDP MPs in the last Parliament, it is disappointing to see only the Conservative caucus honour that vote in this 42nd Parliament. On that same theme I would like to take a moment to thank the many veterans and citizens who gathered at the 11th hour on the

Ottawa RepORt

Dan Albas 11th day of the 11th month to remember the great sacrifices of those courageous Canadians who served so bravely. We should never forget these valiant Canadians were not drafted to serve. Our fallen and veterans made a choice to stand against tyranny and oppression and fought for the values that we must ensure we never take for granted today. For the duration of the next few weeks in Ottawa new and re-elected Members will be sworn into the 42nd Parliament with my own swear-

ing in occurring on Nov. 17. The House of Commons will reconvene Dec. 3 with our first order of business being the election of our next speaker, which is widely expected to be a member from the governing Liberal Party. On Friday, Dec. 4, our Governor General will present the Speech from the Throne, announcing the priorities of the new government in the upcoming sitting and likely the parliamentary calendar will be set at that point for the remainder of the current session. Before I close this week, I would like to thank the many citizens who have taken the time to share comments, questions and concerns with me over the past week. Your input is greatly valued. I can be reached at Dan.Albas@ parl.gc.ca or toll free at 1-800-665-8711. Dan Albas is the MP for Okanagan Coquihalla.

Trudeau calls premiers for climate talks Tom Fletcher Black Press

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called a meeting with premiers in Ottawa to update the country’s position on greenhouse gas reductions before they jet to Paris for the latest United Nations climate summit in early December. “I’m pleased to be able to announce that I will be meeting with the premiers in a First Ministers’ meeting on Nov. 23,” Trudeau told reporters after his first cabinet meeting in Ottawa last Thursday. “We are having a climate briefing by top climate scientists for the first ministers and my own cabinet, to be followed by a working dinner with the premiers, to exactly discuss the kind of strong and cohesive message we will be delivering as Canadians in Paris at the very important COP21 conference.” Canada’s current target is to reduce the country’s greenhouse gas emissions 30 per cent by 2030. B.C. has a more aggressive target of reducing emissions 33 per cent by 2020, set by former premier Gordon Campbell. Premier Christy Clark has so far continued Campbell’s climate policy, with the carbon tax on fuels remaining at the same level as when she took office. Clark has promised to release her government’s “Climate 2.0” plan before she joins the Canadian delegation in Paris. Trudeau has signalled that he wants more greenhouse gas reduction, but that the provinces should use their preferred approaches rather than face an imposed national strategy.

Bantam Jets face teams from valley The Summerland Dental Centre Bantam Jets have faced teams from Kelowna and West Kelowna in recent hockey action. The Jets’ game against Kelowna #2 on Nov. 8 ended in a 2-2 tie. Although the Jets appeared to dominate most of the play, this game turned out to be a defensive battle. Connor Aitcheson scored in the first period, assisted by Rylan Campbell. The Kelowna squad would soon tie it up. Then Aitcheson struck again, this time unassisted on an end-to-end rush. In the final moments of the game, Kelowna would find a way to even the score. The defensive lines, consisting of Lyndsy Acheson, Reilly Noble, Duncan Robinson, Ty Sideroff, and Aitcheson, did a great job of limiting the opponents’ chances on netminder Ben Lewis. The Summerland Dental Centre Bantam Jets now have a record of four wins, two losses and two ties. Over this past weekend, the Jets played against two West Kelowna teams. In the first game against West Kelowna #1, the Jets were down 3-0 halfway through the second period when Ty Sideroff scored, assisted by Connor Aitcheson. The Jets continued to close the gap, this time on an end-to-end rush by Aitcheson, making the score 3-2 after two periods. Aitcheson would strike two more times to tie the game, assisted once by Sideroff. West Kelowna scored the winning goal near the end of the third period. The final score was 5-4. In their second game, the Jets would keep the West Kelowna #3 team off the scoreboard until the third period. In the first period, Kaeden Seiter and Jason Scherban scored to jump ahead to a 2-0 lead. Rylan Campbell buried the lone goal in the second period, assisted by Sideroff. Scherban scored twice in the third period, assisted once by Duncan Robinson. This time, the final score was in the the Jets’ favour, 5-2.

Gift drive to benefit children in region Mark Brett

Giving gifts

Mark Brett Black Press

Diana Stirling, organizer of the Gateway Gives LocoLanding Community Toy Drive, hands one of the giant, toy-filled stockings to Traci Fladager of the Dragonfly Pond Society holding two of her friends, Jolene Amy and four-year-old Addie McCormick. Dragonfly is one of 16 non-profit agencies that will receive toys from the Nov. 26 donation breakfast at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre.

Christmas would not be the same for hundreds of children this year without the donations from the first Gateway Gives and LocoLanding Community Toy Drive. People who bring a new, unwrapped toy to the Nov. 26 sit-down breakfast from 6 to 9 a.m. at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre will be doing something nice for kids from Summerland to Princeton. In total 16 agencies will receive the toys to distribute to families whose youngsters might otherwise receive little or nothing. In fact, according to program coordinator Traci Fladager of the Dragonfly Pond Society, without the toys, her Christmas party would have to be changed or cancelled altogether. “Ever since we started Dragonfly Pond we’ve relied heavily on the breakfast to get toys for the party,” said Fladager, whose agency works with kids with disabilities throughout the South Okanagan and Similkameen from Summerland to Princeton. Over the years the number of families helped by Dragonfly has grown to 74 and according to the coordinator, the Christmas event is one of the few where everyone can get together in a comfortable setting. “Especially for those who have complex care needs, perhaps if the child is loud or perhaps unable to sit through an event, it’s okay,” said Fladager. “There’s things for everybody to do. It’s in a large auditorium and there are quiet rooms places where they can do crafts until Santa comes. Tanya Behardian executive director of the Penticton and District Community Resources Society is someone else who has experienced firsthand a family’s happiness to get something, no matter how small, to give to their children. “The mom answered the door and we started to bring the boxes in and she just burst into tears,” she recalled. She added that the mother was overcome and relieved by the generosity. “That she could actually provide something like that for her kids was really gratifying and relieving for her. You could see how much stress it really was.” She added the number of families needing help continues to grow each year and many of her clients are often working two or more jobs and still can’t make ends meet. The stress is only compounded at this time of year. Her society helps over 115 families and last year gave out 450 toys in addition to the other services it provides year round. “I’ve also been directly involved with distributing the toys to families who need them,” said coordinator Cheri Mitchell, of the Community Action Plan for Children program in Keremeos which operates under the umbrella of the Lower Similkameen Community Services. “What I’ve seen is that people are really touched that there are still people out there that are trying make things better for people who aren’t able to access things for themselves.” Empty stockings to be filled can be picked up and dropped at Penticton and Wine Country Chamber of Commerce office at 553 Vees Dr. for those unable to attend the breakfast.
