A 47-year-old Summerland woman is dead and a Kelowna woman is in the hospital after a threevehicle collision on Highway 97 near Buchanan Road in Peachland. Police and the BC Coroner’s Service continue to investigate the serious crash which turned fatal, as well as footage obtained by a passerby’s dashboard camera capturing the collision as it happened. On Feb. 3 around 3 p.m. West Kelowna RCMP responded to a three-vehicle collision near Buchanan Road. The dash cam footage seized by police shows a northbound, black Toyota 4Runner losing control of its rear end and veering into the oncoming lane where it collided head on with a southbound, red BMW Mini Cooper. The Toyota then collided with a blue Honda Civic, which was
following the Mini Cooper at the time. The driver of the BMW Mini Cooper, a 47-year-old Summerland woman, was gravely injured and initially treated at the scene by an off-duty paramedic. She was transported to Kelowna General Hospital in critical condition and RCMP are now reporting that she has died. The 47-yearold Kelowna woman, driver of the Toyota 4Runner, sustained non-life threatening injuries and was taken to hospital in stable condition. Highway 97 through Peachland was closed for

Barbara Thorburn, a member of the Ryga Festival Society, asked municipal council to support the proposed festival. “Local government, business and the arts can collaborate for the benefit of the community,” she said. Members of council said the proposal deserves further consideration. “George Ryga is one of Summerland’s greatest assets,” said Coun. Doug Holmes. “I think this is a long overdue initiative.” The presentation from the Ryga Festival Society was received for information. In addition, municipal staff will prepare a report regarding the arts festival.
Readers can submit a photo of the happy couple along with information on where and when the ceremony took place or will take place, the couple’s hometown, as well as any other pertinent details.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...
A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company
Probate and Estate Administration Member – Canadian Investor Protection Fund
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
The importance of excellence
The finalists have been selected and at the end of this month, the Summerland Chamber of Commerce will present the 78th annual Business and Community Excellence Awards. These awards showcase outstanding individuals, businesses and organizations within our community. Of the awards presented, 10 are for excellence within the business community. The nominees have been recognized for outstanding performance or service within their field, or for a high level of performance overall. In addition to the business awards, the chamber will present its annual Citizen/ Volunteer of the Year Award. This award is given to a person or couple demonstrating a strong level of commitment to the community. The Mayor’s Award of Excellence, given at the mayor’s discretion, recognizes an organization which has made an outstanding contribution to the community. There are challenges facing any business during an economic downturn. For those doing business in small communities like Summerland, the pressures on businesses become even more noticeable. Our local businesses are in competition with larger businesses from larger communities as well as from online merchants from out of town and outside the country. Businesses need to earn the support of their customers each day. Those on the short list of nominees, and many other Summerland businesses for that matter, have done this. They have developed a reputation for an excellent product or service. They are among the businesses, organizations and individuals who continually do more than expected. Their examples should serve to inspire others.

Abuse of animals affects us all A recent animal abuse story from southwestern Ontario is noteworthy, not only because of the severity of the abuse but also because of the sentencing. Earlier this month, in a Windsor, Ont. courtroom, Michael Earl Hill, 32, entered a guilty plea to a charge of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal. In December, a dog had its muzzle taped shut and its legs bound as it was left to die in a field. The dog was later found by a passer-by and is now recovering at the Windsor/ Essex Humane Society. Staff at the facility renamed the dog Justice. The dog’s owners had asked Hill to surrender it to the humane society, as their newborn daughter was allergic to the seven-year-old Patterdale terrier. Hill was sentenced to two years in a federal penitentiary. When he is released,
From here
John Arendt he will be on probation for three years and will be banned from having a pet for 25 years. Since his arrest, Hill has been in solitary confinement, segregated from the rest of the prison population for his own protection. I don’t understand why Hill chose to treat the dog in this way. Whatever his motivations, his actions that day raise an uncomfortable question. If one is willing to cause suffering to a domestic companion animal, what other forms of violence may follow? “People who
become serial killers begin with small animals,” Ontario court justice Micheline Rawlins said during Hill’s sentencing. The link between the abuse of animals and human violence has been documented. Notable examples include American serial killer and sex offender Jeffrey Dahmer, who dismembered animals when he was a boy and Albert DeSalvo, the Boston Strangler, who tortured animals
per cent of abused women with animals reported that their abuser had threatened or harmed their animals, with 85 per cent of the threats carried out. A statement on the organization’s website reads, “Deliberate cruelty to animals is a form of violence. Besides being harmful to a living creature capable of suffering and feeling pain, intentional animal cruelty can be one of the earliest and most dramatic predictors
If one is willing to cause suffering to a domestic companion animal, what other forms of violence may follow? when he was a child. A 2012 study of domestic violence victims in rural Alberta shows a strong connection between cruelty to animals and cruelty to people. According to that report, available online through the Alberta SPCA, 36
that an individual is developing a pattern of seeking power and control by inflicting suffering on others. It can also be an indicator of other kinds of violence being perpetrated on family members or others.” The torture of any living creature is cause for concern and
the stories of animal abuse happen far too often. At least once a week, I hear of a story of a companion animal like Justice, usually a dog or a cat, which had been tortured or brutally killed. Those who are involved with animal shelters will see far more of these stories. If an animal survives torture, it may have lifelong phobias or problems interacting with people. The animal pays the price for the cruelty it suffers at human hands. While such stories are heartbreaking, the connection between animal cruelty and human violence is something I find chilling. This link must be taken seriously. How our society chooses to deal with incidents of animal cruelty speaks volumes about how we respond to violence against other people. John Arendt is the editor of the Summerland Review.

Your Snow Angel neighbour AskDentist... kept walkways cleared Q Dear Editor: I live on Fyffe Road, the street of good neighbours. As we all know, there have been frequent snow falls this winter. Just to shovel the sidewalks and walkways around my house takes me 13/4 to three hours per snowfall, depending on the depth of the snowfall. I have a driveway that is very wide and long, that I have never had to shovel.
I have a neighbour (I believe the term “Snow Angel” would be appropriate here), who ploughs my driveway every snowfall. Every snowfall, without fail. Trust me when I say - there is nothing more beautiful after a snowfall than a tractor with a snow plough blade attached, and a “Snow Angel” sitting on the seat running the equipment. (I believe a halo is evident occasionally). I want to publicly express my
appreciation and heartfelt thanks to this oh so considerate, kind neighbour for all the time and effort expended in keeping my driveway ploughed. I would also like to thank him for leaving my cross country ski trail unploughed, when the depth of the snow allowed it. My dog loves to walk along with me while I ski. Loretta Krauter Summerland
THE EARLY YEARS
I have a lower denture that is really loose. Is there something I can do to make it fit better? Anonymous
A
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.
Teammates — not inmates

In 1932 the uniforms worn by Summerland’s hockey team may have been designed to distract their opponents. Even though the stripes were reminiscent of vintage prison garb, our boys wore their colours with pride. Pictured here, on Charlie Wharton’s outdoor rink, are Shelly Knowles, Art Dunsdon, Pete Lewis, Jack Hill, Charlie Norris, Bun Duxbury, Martin Maxim, Wes Birche, Keith Elliott and, in front, Mait Kersey, Dickie Moore and Kenneth McKenzie. There are still stripes on modern uniforms, such as those worn by Summerland Steam, but they are not quite as conspicuous. If you haven’t checked out the Steam’s uniforms lately, this would be great time to take in their home games. Plus you’ll get to see some great hockey. Cheer our boys on as they head for the playoffs!
Local performers featured at juvenile diabetes fundraiser Dear Editor: I would like to invite everyone to attend “Concert For A Cure: A Juvenile Diabetes Fundraiser” on March 12 at Centre Stage Theatre in Summerland. This will be an amazing night of entertainment, with all proceeds from the event being donated to JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation). There will also be a silent
auction before the concert begins with some great items donated by Summerland businesses. The River Line, led by John Rousseau, will be the night’s feature presentation. This band’s mix of jazz and rock will leave you wanting more. Dragons’ Den alumni and Faulder’s
very own Bezla will be among the other acts to take the stage. I would like to extend a thank-you to every person and business that has been supportive of this event. It
is really encouraging. Tickets are on sale now at The Beanery and Prima Pizza. See you there! Brad Besler Summerland

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.

Making Summerland healthier When we think of “health” we often think of conditions like diabetes or cancer, visits to the doctor’s office, or wait times for medical services. But long before illness, health starts in our communities – where we live, work,
learn, and play. Defining health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, it is easy to see that it’s influenced by access to clean water and healthy food, affordable recreational activities, education opportunities and

meaningful work. As individuals, we can improve our wellbeing by eating healthy, exercising and managing our stress. To support our efforts, communities that keep health in mind when creating policy or designing spaces can go a long way towards making the healthy choice, the easy choice. But more so than healthy habits, our health is largely determined by our circumstances. Income, social status and education play a powerful role. Lower levels of any of these factors are

Sandra Turnbull linked to more stress and lower self-confidence. The greater the gap between the richest and the poorest, the greater the differences in health. Social support from our family and friends is important too. Caring relationships and having someone to turn to during times of stress are health protective. Beyond our immediate social circles, having a strong sense of community support and connectedness enhances our wellbeing. According to the World Health Organization, “health is created and lived by people within the settings of their everyday life.” People cannot achieve their fullest potential unless they are able to take control of the factors that determine their wellbeing. Individuals, local governments, community organizations and businesses all
play a role in creating those conditions. Recognizing the importance of this, the BC Ministry of Health supports BC Healthy Communities (www. bchealthycommunities.ca) a provincial not-for-profit organization whose mandate is to help build healthy and vibrant communities. In our community, the recently formed Summerland Healthy Communities Initiative plans to build on these ideas to make Summerland a leading example of a healthy community. We are a cross sectorial group with representation from Interior Health, the Municipality, SD #67, Parks and Recreation, spiritual care and individual citizens. We are looking to build on many of the assets Summerland already has and want to engage and enable all Summerlanders to achieve their best physical, mental and social well-being.

Historian to examine railway’s past A Kettle Valley Railway historian and author will speak about the historic railway during Canada’s Heritage Week later this month. Joe Smuin’s talk, on Saturday, Feb. 20, is on The Centennial of the Kettle Valley Railway 1915-2015. The one-hour presentation will focus on the railway’s history between Penticton and Princeton. “This year’s Heritage Week theme is Distinctive Destinations, and with the Kettle Valley Steam Railway being our town’s main distinctive destination, Joe’s presentation is a great fit,” said Dave Hill, chair of the Summerland Heritage Advisory Commission. “We’re very excited to sponsor this event and welcome Joe. Summerland residents and railway enthusiasts are in for a real treat.” Smuin has written two books about the railway. The books are Kettle Valley Railway Mileboards and Canadian Pacific’s Kettle Valley Railway. A question and answer period will follow the presentation and there will be an opportunity to view a railway display created by the Summerland Museum and Heritage Society. The event will be held in the basement of the old library building, next to the Summerland Museum on Wharton Street, beginning at 2 p.m. Doors open at 1:30 p.m. Canada’s Heritage Week runs from Feb. 15 to 21.

Love is... a library full of books Why do we need libraries? Doesn’t everybody read online or download digital books now? Maybe, until there is a blizzard and the power goes out. People on the East Coast knew they had a terrific storm brewing, so after they stocked up on food and essentials, they headed in droves to their public library. Imagine, long lineups for actual books! Yes, it is nice to read on devices, but they will not replace a good old paper book. And books need a space to live until you are ready for them. The new Summerland library has been open now for about four months. It’s so much fun seeing people come in for the first time. They know they have entered a special place. Bright and spa-
cious with cozy chairs to settle into and connect with a book. That connection is really what it boils down to, not so much what the library looks like on the outside, but what it contains on the inside. Books! I grew up surrounded by books. My childhood home had a bookcase that ran the length of the entire kitchen and it was packed full. My British mum introduced me to Robert Louis Stevenson’s “A Child’s Garden of Verses”, A.A Milne’s “The House at Pooh Corner” and Enid Blyton’s “Noddy” series. One of my favourite poems was “Halfway Down”, which came from the green, cloth bound volume of A.A Milne’s “When We Were Very Young”. I must have read it a hundred times. My mum and I spoke on the phone
recently and I asked her if she still had these books. As she pulled each one out of the box she said “You kids destroyed these books, they’re falling apart!” I said “No Mum, they were just well loved.” We laughed because those books hold a lot of good memories. All three classics are available at the library. Another vivid memory I have is being eight years old and finally able to roam my elementary school library alone for the first time. I was thinking “I get to choose any book I want? Amazing!” I went straight over to the non-fiction stacks and pulled out the book I wanted to take home and read. I recall the title, colour and size, but mostly I recall the way it made me feel. Pure joy.

Caroline McKay That was all it took to instill a lifelong love of libraries. Ask me at the Circulation desk the next time you visit the library what this magical book was, and remember I was only eight!
Some of that special joy was brought to the people of Mozambique by a local fellow named John Topham. Along with Rotary Summerland, John helped build a school library. Come see the pictures and hear his story at the Summerland Branch of the Okanagan Regional Library, Tuesday, Feb. 23 at 6:45 p.m. in the Meeting Place. All are welcome to attend this free event. Caroline McKay is an Assistant Community Librarian at the Summerland Branch of the Okanagan Regional Library.

Thursday, February 11, 2016 Summerland Review
Find something new at the library Every once in a while, it’s necessary to step outside your comfort zone and try something new. You might not think so, but then you also might not realize it’s something you need until you do it. I’ve been fortunate enough to do this without realizing it a few times in the past couple of years. Recently, I made a shift in my focus as a writer. Over the last 15 or so years I’ve written a little bit of everything, but always kept my main focus
on writing for kids and younger readers. It was something that allowed me to indulge all the things I liked about writing and kept me going in a direction I was happy with. Then, after a few years, things just started feeling flat. I didn’t have the time I wanted to work on the projects that I had on the go and everything was falling by the wayside. It was frustrating and discouraging and left me feeling like I had been doing nothing useful with the years
I’d spent writing. Then, an old book reminded me of all the things I actually loved about writing and reminded me that I could still do all the things I wanted to as a writer, if I just switched things up a little. Not long after that, I did switch things up and the results were amazing. All of a sudden I found myself writing more than I had in years and I was loving it. Sure, I’m still struggling a little bit to find enough time
to get the writing done that’s expected of me, but I’m happier writing than I have been in years and that’s really all that matters. The details about where I’m going to find the time I need will come in time. Two or three years before all this, I did the same thing with reading. I’d been reading a lot of the same kind of books for the better part of 10 years and had hit the point where I needed a change. I wandered into a
section of the library I had never been before — the sports section, and if you’ve ever seen me attempt a sport, you’d know why I hadn’t been in this part of the library before — and found a book on a subject that interested me. I was so impressed by the book that I had to return it because I knew it would be a book that I would want to take my time with and read slowly making sure I was able to take it all in — I own that book now and still think about

Douglas Paton certain passages from it. As luck would have it, the Summerland Library is just the place to step outside your comfort
zone and have a blind date with a book. This could be just the thing you’ve been looking for to shake away those winter blahs and find something new and exciting. Head on down to the library this week and take a chance with a book. You never know where that book might take you. Douglas Paton is a Summerland writer and musician.

Concert raises money for diabetes foundation Arts A concert and silent auction next month will raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The concert will feature the talent of at least three performers. The River Line, led by John Rousseau, will be the feature presentation. The music is a mix of jazz and rock. Besler, who goes under the stage name of Bezla, is from Faulder and performs rap. A Grade 11 student who goes by the stage name of Trewth will perform hip-hop music. In addition, Besler hopes to bring a comedian to the stage, but this entertainer has not yet been confirmed. The diabetes fundraiser is important to Besler because a family member is living with juvenile diabetes. “I’ve always wanted to give back and do something about it,” he said. “Throughout the process of organizing this concert, I have met other people from Summerland with Type 1 diabetes and have been inspired by their stories.” Juvenile diabetes, or Type 1 diabetes, is a condition which occurs when the pancreas no longer produces insulin, a hormone that helps move sugar or glucose into the body’s tissues. Those who have Type 1 dia-

Protesters fear peace in forests After 20 years of representing B.C. coastal First Nations to negotiate what U.S.-directed activists labeled the Great Bear Rainforest agreement, a weary Dallas Smith expressed his relief and frustration. At a ceremony to sign the final agreement in Vancouver last week, Smith, president of the Nanwakolas Council of remote Central Coast communities like Bella Bella, joked that he’s finally out of a job. Then he got serious. “My communities still aren’t better places to live yet,” he said. But the land use agreement with the province and forest companies over a vast coastal area up to the Alaska border means the years ahead will be better. He said when he started it was like being caught in a divorce between the B.C. forest industry and international environmental groups. Dutch-based Greenpeace, its California offshoot ForestEthics and others moved on from their
Clayoquot Sound battle to the B.C. coast, looking to continue the blockades against logging. “It’s the First Nations of the Coast who stood up and said ‘no, this is how it’s going to work’,” Smith said. How it’s going to work is that logging will continue on 550,000 hectares of coastal forest, with a greater share for First Nations, and with 85 per cent of the region preserved after a century of logging that began with sailing ships. Aside from a few diehards who are either paid to protest or can’t get past issuing demands, B.C. aboriginal people have grown tired of being used as props in global de-marketing campaigns directed from San Francisco or Amsterdam. The protesters’ tactic of organizing customer boycotts that damage far-away economies might be good for international fundraising, but it’s bad for poor people. Formally begun 10 years ago with $30
B.C. Views
Tom Fletcher million from Ottawa, $30 million from B.C. and $60 million from a group of wealthy U.S. family foundations with a larger anti-development agenda, the land use plan remains under attack. Among the many protest outfits is Pacific Wild, which has specialized in Great Bear Rainforest campaigns and now needs a new enemy. Their credibility was demonstrated recently when pottymouthed U.S. pop star Miley Cyrus decided to speak out against B.C.’s wolf kill. Typical of celebrities, Cyrus had no idea about the struggle to preserve
dwindling herds of mountain caribou. She barely knows where B.C. is, a fact made plain when Pacific Wild toured her around the North Coast, far from the Kootenay and South Peace regions where the wolves in question actually roam. Cyrus’s handlers spoon-fed video and statements to urban media, who were so anxious to exploit her global popularity that they played down the fact she was at the wrong end of the province spouting nonsense. After periodically attacking their own B.C. agreement as inadequate, Greenpeace and ForestEthics have moved on to what they call the “boreal forest,” which we like to call northern Canada. The same bully tactics with forest products customers and producers have been featured. This time, a Quebec company that signed an accord in 2010 is suing Greenpeace for “defamation, malicious falsehood and intentional interference in economic relations.” Aboriginal com-
panies on the B.C. coast will continue to log, including areas of old-growth forest and secondary growth. They will continue to export logs as economics dictate. They will continue to harvest animals, includ-
ing grizzly bears. And, I expect, they will continue to be subjected to attempts to supervise and direct them by members of urban society’s new religion, environmentalism. The leaders of this
movement don’t like peace. It’s bad for their business. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Email: tfletcher@ blackpress.ca Twitter: @tomfletcherbc
