ectory is well used, with more than 400 hits each day.

Christine Petkau, manager of the cham-ber, said the chan-ges to the site have improved the direc-tory.

“The new website has been designed to

reflect the diversity and excellence of our business community and the profession-alism of our organ-ization and includes many visual elements as well as a compre-hensive business dir-ectory showcasing our 700 members,”

she said.The Summerland

Chamber is the third largest chamber in the Okanagan Valley, behind Kelowna and Kamloops.

There are more than 700 chamber members.

All businesses

with a valid business license are included in the chamber mem-bership.

Petkau said a com-prehensive directory and a strong cham-ber website will help Summerland busi-nesses.

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 Yas-min 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 schol-arships, valued at $2,500 each, for quali-fied students enrol-ling in first-year stud-ies at Okanagan Col-lege in 2016.

Since the fund was established in 2006, more than $70,000 has been awarded to 30 recipients at the

college.The Thorpes have

also established awards for students entering or continu-ing 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 stu-dents,” 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 graduat-ing from, a second-ary school located on the west side of Okanagan Lake, from Penticton to Killiney Beach, regis-tering in full‐time studies at the Col-lege. The award also supports students already enrolled at the College who are continuing their studies. Recipients must be undertaking courses in business, viticulture, agricul-ture, 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 fund-raising campaign behind the construc-tion of the Jim Pat-tison Centre of Excel-lence at the Penticton campus; the Thorpes personally commit-ted $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 guide-lines at www.okanag-an.bc.ca/awards or email financialaid@okanagan.bc.ca for more information.

Scholarship funding available

Members of Sum-merland’s council met with the premier and provincial minis-ters during the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference last week in Vancouver.

“UBCM was very successful for Sum-merland council and staff,” said Mayor Peter Waterman.

“In addition to valuable education-al sessions offered, Summerland was

fortunate to secure meetings with the Premier and many provincial minis-ters to discuss issues important to our community.”

Council started out the conference by meeting with Premier Christy Clark to dis-cuss general aspects of advancing the high-tech agri-busi-ness sector and to ask for provincial assist-ance in dealing with

the per-p e t u a l s l i d e a d j a -cent to T r o u t C r e e k C a n -yon.

T h e c o n -c e r n s about the perpet-ual slide were also raised in a meeting with Naomi Yama-moto, Minister of

State for Emergency Preparedness.

Council also met with John Rustad, Minister of Aborig-inal Relations, to ask for help in advan-cing relations with Summerland’s First Nations neighbours.

Council met with Norm Letnick, Min-ister of Agriculture, to further explore options for advan-cing the food biotech industry.

A meeting with Todd Stone, Minis-ter of Transportation, covered issues about speed zones and safe-ty 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 Summer-land electrical cus-tomers.

With the recent cooler temperatures, bears have been seen in the community this fall.

Zoe Kirk, Wild-SafeBC community coordinator for the Regional District of Okanagan Similka-meen, said a black bear was reported around Landry Crescent and Thorn-

ber Street on Sept. 15.

She added that more bear sightings are expected in the region once again this fall.

“Bear issues have escalated almost everywhere,” she said.

In British Colum-bia’s Southern Inter-ior, a Level 4 drought has forced bears away

from their usual habi-tats, since creeks and rivers in some areas are dry.

The fire season this summer has also had an effect on bears and

other animals.“All the wildlife

were escaping the hills as the fires were

r a g i n g , ” she said.

B e a r s h a v e been an ongoing problem in Sum-

merland as many residents continue to set out their garbage

and recyclables the night before collec-tion takes place.

As a result, bears have been observed in residential areas, searching for food.

WildsafeBC has urged the commun-ity to set up a gar-bage bylaw, penal-izing those who set out their garbage before collection day.

Bear sightings reported

Signs of the timesCampaign signs for the local candidates in the Oct. 19 federal election have been showing up on public spaces and private yards around the community. A candidates’ forum will be held on Oct. 5 beginning at 6:30 p.m. at Centre Stage Theatre.

Continued from Page 1In addition, the

site will help to pro-mote local shopping, since people can find which businesses carry the products or provide the services they need.

“Local shopping is so important,” she said.

“Most things a

buyer can want could be found locally.”

In addition to the comprehensive busi-ness directory, Petkau said the new website

is visually appealing and has a clean, mod-ern look.

The site was launched in the mid-dle of last week.

New website will help promote local shopping

Base amount will be given to small and rural centres

A three-year base funding model has been introduced for community visitor centres in Penticton, Summerland, Peach-land and the Okanag-an Connector.

The model, announced by Des-tination BC, is for the 108 community vis-itor centres it helps

support.The model was

created following consultation with the community visitor services centre net-work.

Under the new strategy, a minimum base funding of $10,000 will be pro-vided for the next three years for small and rural centres.

An innovation fund will be avail-able in 2016 to assist communities with

projects to adapt to changing needs and visitor expectations.

“This new, stable base funding over the next three years will help ensure better long-term planning for centres located in our community,” said Penticton MLA Dan Ashton.

“The innovation fund will be avail-able to help our communities adapt to changing visitor needs through innov-ative projects.”

In 2013, the prov-ince’s tourism sec-tor generated $13.9 billion in revenue and accounted for four per cent of the province’s total gross domestic product.

In 2015, the num-ber of international visitors to British

Columbia rose by 234,079, an increase of 5.3 per cent.

Across the prov-ince, 132,200 people or one in every 15 jobs in B.C. are in tourism. There are more than 19,200 tourism-relat-ed businesses in the province.

“All the wildlife were escaping the hills as the fires were raging.”

Youthful CrimeWe 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.

This week, we pub-lished a feature in rec-ognition of our Sum-merland firefighters and their contribu-tion 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 respond-ers, police, paramed-ics and firefighters. However at budget time, the gloves come off.

These are men and women that run in the direction of dan-ger.

We resent their salaries and their requests for updated equipment. We ques-tion 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 con-servative. I want

my local, provincial and federal govern-ment 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 night-club. Some of the security and med-ical situations I wit-nessed 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 ser-iously and with hon-our. 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 per-spective might be required.

I think our prior-

ities are in the wrong place.

I would encourage our local municipal, provincial and fed-eral leaders to ride along and see what our emergency staff deal with in an aver-age day.

This approach has worked for other ser-vices.

There is nothing like seeing with your

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. Unfortu-nately, under nor-mal 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-

gency services has been going on for years. Social media has made this infin-itely worse. Every day, we see an ama-teur 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. Nega-tive stories sell news-papers, provide TV ratings, page views...you get the point.

My message here is a simple one. Before you share that nega-tive story, or criticize the budgets given to our emergency ser-vices, 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 servi-ces.

Also don’t forget to say a kind word when you see them around town. They have earned it.

YOUR VIEWS

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 appear-ance of the site may be most noticeable, the improvements to the business direc-tory 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 hospi-tality businesses, are easy to find, there are also many smaller operations and home-based businesses, providing good service and good value for their custom-ers.

Before the redesign, the directory received more than 400 hits each day. This indicates there is a strong interest in finding and using Summerland busi-nesses.

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 business-es is obvious, but the directory will also help the community as a whole.

When money is spent at local busi-nesses, 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 cus-tomers supporting local businesses.

However, the message by itself is not enough. In order for customers to sup-port 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.

THE EARLY YEARS

Summerland Review Thursday, October 1, 2015 O p i n i O n s www.summerlandreview.com 5

Dear Editor:I commend Coun-

cil on asking for “Chicken Feed Back” in our September 2015 Newsletter. Here is my feedback on the proposed bylaw to allow chick-ens to be kept in resi-dential zones.

At first I con-sidered making com-ments on the humor-ous side – like “Stop

the Cluck”…etc., but then I realized this is no laughing matter.

As a Summerland resident in a non-agricultural 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 regu-lations in enforcing the bylaw — easy to say “no roosters, no burying dead chick-ens 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 var-mints 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 Mathe-son’s views express-

ing her opposition to this proposed bylaw stated in her recent letter to the Summer-land Review. Keep the chickens on the highly prized, valued and designated agri-cultural land, not in residential areas.

This proposal does impact our taxes dir-ectly. 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 attract-ing folks to our love-ly town and search-ing 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 every-one feel “inclusive and welcome” is to not single them out.

Barbara RobsonSummerland

Chickens belong on farm land

Dear Editor:I have been reading

with interest some of the letters regarding the rainbow cross-walks.

There seems to be some confusion over the way we have dif-fering 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 per-secuted I guess we could try that.

If Jill Thomas is familiar with her Bible, she will know that the Christians have been persecut-ed 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 taxpay-ers would be will-ing to pay for say a dream catcher to symbolize persecu-tion for First Nations painted on a few crosswalks.

How about the Japanese, the Ukrain-ians, 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 dis-agree I have to won-der, does that make you a witch?

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 arbi-trarily painting the crosswalks.

Second, cross-walks are painted white for a reason so drivers can see them clearly for safety concerns.

A coloured cross-walk 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 farm-ers 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

Crosswalks a waste of tax dollars

Dear Editor:We wish to respond

to both Barbara Rob-son’s letter to the editor and Karen Matheson’s views expressing oppos-ition to the proposed bylaw with regards to chickens in the back yards of private homes in Summer-land. 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 resi-dential back yards, and also experienced

the numerous vermin that chicken coops and yards produce.

These vermin can be anything from mice, rats, snakes, racoons and ani-mals 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 with-in town boundaries, small or large, is def-initely 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 prob-lems of running a first-class town prop-erly, such as employ-

ment, aiding new businesses, lowering our electricity costs, water purification or lack of, etc.

What about educa-tion? What can you as a council do to aid children in their edu-cation or any after-school programs for Kindergarten to Grade 12?

As for Mrs. Rob-son’s note on the rainbow crosswalks in Summerland, we are in total agreement that the way to make everyone feel “inclu-sive and welcome” is not to single them out.

Also, the money spent on these two crosswalks, approxi-mately $4,000 plus labour, could eas-ily go into breakfast assistance at our Summerland elemen-tary schools for the needy and unfed chil-dren or something along that line.This would certainly give these children a bet-ter chance at a more productive education when their stomachs are full.

The inner children take over city hall

We’re seeing the effects of our post-lit-erate, feelings-based education system and media on the federal election. Candidate bozo eruptions are becoming more fre-quent.

Most recently a Liberal candi-date on Vancouver Island admitted she has long believed that hijacked jetlin-ers 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 dif-ferent fact-free con-clusion, 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.

F e e l i n g s - b a s e d beliefs were on dis-play again at last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities con-vention in Vancouver, where bozo eruptions by local politicians come in bunches.

This year’s main outbreak was an emo-tional 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

environment, includ-ing 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 coun-cils 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 crush-ing capitalism, cur-rently 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, terri-fied 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 wealthi-est countries in human history, those enjoying health, com-fort and opportunity not imagined by any-one 100 years ago.

In the vast, air-conditioned hall of the Vancouver Con-vention 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 some-thing for you.”

Indeed, if we’re going to have gov-ernment by 11-year-olds, 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 pro-tect us from things like Volkswagen fid-dling 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 pur-sue 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, pub-lic 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 reso-lution passed in a show of hands that should have been, but wasn’t, put to a counted vote.

This month the Summerland Cham-ber is once again pleased to welcome a diverse range of new businesses to Sum-merland from enter-tainment to childcare.

In the agricultural sector, Van Doren Sales North, Inc. has set up a base in Sum-merland to provide a northern arm for their company, which has almost 70 years of experience designing and building custom fruit and container-handling equipment for cleaning, waxing, sorting, packing, and boxing fruit.

If you are look-ing for entertain-ment there are two new businesses in Summerland that can help. The Kelso E n t e r t a i n m e n t Agency offers a diverse range of ser-vices from entertain-ment through bands,

tribute shows, solo artists, variety acts, and children’s enter-tainment, to key note speakers, emcee’s, DJs all combined with an in-house photographer and graphic designer.

For her own company, classic-ally trained singer Rochelle Dionne brings her voice both as a performer and a teacher to her busi-ness by providing private and group

lessons to students of all ages through Sing Your Song Studios, after honing her skills at a number of Can-adian music schools.

Closer to home a new addition to help families is Fox and Fairy Child Care, a licensed daycare facility offering care for small groups of children.

For those with house maintenance needs Duri Services Inc. is a new con-struction company that specializes in home renovations, landscaping and property service throughout the Oka-nagan Valley.

For business servi-ces, Complete Copy-writing’s Julianne Diubaldo provides all your online promo-tional requirements including search engine optimization (SEO), web design and the full portfolio of marketing options.

If friends are vis-iting or you’re look-ing for an experience for staff or friends, experienced tour guides Ogopogo Val-ley Tours have start-ed their own com-pany delivering year-

round sight-seeing and wine tours for groups of four to 14 day or evening.

When you next go to see a Steam game at the arena meet one of our new business-es, Keen’s Catering, who provide catering and concession servi-ces for the facility. 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 fea-tured this week on CTV News Vancou-ver to discuss the debate over using concrete rather than oak barrels, particu-larly for red wine. Crush Pad discussed how their wines “raised in concrete” processes highlight the tastes unique to the region rather than using the trad-itional 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 Summer-land 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 along-side 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, high-lighting their staff and their product.

T h o r n h a v e n 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 Water-front Resort launched a short video that includes sweeping aerial shots, intimate

interiors and their large range of amen-ities, whilst high-lighting its extensive activities and beauti-ful location.New services

Two of our busi-nesses in town are offering innovative new services to make their customers lives more aesthetically pleasing and conven-ient. The Dog Den, a licensed grooming, day care and u-bath-ing facility operating in downtown Sum-merland 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 sug-gested by the name Jenn will be provid-ing 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 cele-brated the six-year anniversary of serv-ing their first guests in 2009 at the beauti-ful 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, Oka-nagan 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 ser-vices. Their unique use of traditional techniques, such as concrete vessels, has proved influential and has raised their profile within the wine industry.

Government earmarks $100,000 for communities

Tom FletcherBlack Press

The B.C. govern-ment has commit-ted up to $100,000 a year to share costs of

“urban deer manage-ment operations,” with an advisory committee to guide communities in reducing the risks and damage they cause.

The province is responsible for wild-life management, but the government wants solutions to be developed locally.

Some communities have resorted to kill-ing deer, with mixed success and some-times 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 protec-tion 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 coun-cil found itself embroiled in legal action brought by a group of opponents, despite a local sur-vey that found more than 70 per cent pub-lic support for a deer cull.

Invermere offi-cials 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 con-vention in recent years, the prov-ince responded this week with the offer of funding and con-tinued research.

M u n i c i p a l i t i e s must obtain permits from the forests min-istry before attempt-ing relocation, haz-ing, contraceptive measures that require handling of deer, or culls.

The advisory committee, not yet named, is to continue developing standard-ized methods, such as how to safely process and distribute meat from deer that are killed. In rural Cen-tral Saanich, permits have been issued to use shotguns or bows against deer to pro-tect crops.

Another task for the committee will be to develop pub-lic consultation on methods of deer control, to head off protests, legal chal-lenges and vigilante action.

In the weeks lead-ing up to the Oct. 19 federal election, the Summerland Review is asking questions of the four candidates in the riding of South Okanagan-Similka-meen-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?

Dan Albas

ConservativesMy Private Mem-

bers Bill that opened the Canadians wine market for our local vintners was passed both in the House of Commons and the Senate with unani-mous support.

It is rare to achieve unanimous sup-port on anything in  Ottawa  and this reflects my approach to work with other elected officials and public servants respectfully and col-laboratively.

Those who read my weekly reports will know I avoid exces-sive partisanship and do not use profanity or alarmist language when in the House of Commons.

During my four years as a Mem-ber of Parliament for Okanagan-Coquihalla I have maintained a positive working rela-tionship with all local Mayors and coun-cil, MLAs, local First Nations leaders and senior staff at various levels of government.  In my view the import-ance of people work-ing together is how things get done.   

Finger point-ing, heavy rhetoric,

extreme language and excessive partisanship might make for great headlines however these things all serve as barriers to product-ive governance.

People deserve to be heard and treated respectfully to cre-ate positive working relationships that get results. That has always been my goal and will continue to be my focus regardless of who forms government.

Robert Mellalieu

GreensElizabeth May is

the consummate pol-itician. I have watched her garner agreements where the odds were not in her favour. 

I too have had to work with clients that are very angry about the problems they are having. 

With Elizabeth at the helm and my skills in conflict resolution we can make a great difference. 

Politics and democ-racy is about coming to a consensus. It isn’t all about the power – that’s dictatorship – and we have enough of that.

Karley Scott

LiberalsThis is where my

ability to work collab-oratively is highlighted.

A large part of my role in the 10 years that I worked for the federal government was to develop strong, respectful relation-ships with all other levels of government and community based organizations, regard-

less of political stripe or objective.

I was often tasked with leading new pro-jects that required col-laboration between all these stakeholders but were very politic-ally charged.

I have a proven track record of negotiating agreement between parties with long-standing disagree-ments and this will be a significant asset should I be elected but the Liberal Party not form government.

I take this respon-sibility very seriously and I will advocate for this riding to the best of my ability regard-less of what party forms government.

Angelique Wood

New DemocratsI have always

believed in working across party lines and will strive to represent the citizens of this area no matter what.

My NDP MP Alex Atamanenko was elected for three terms and always worked with the Conservative government, introdu-cing private member’s bills and making sure that services were available to our rid-ings’ citizens.

He brought the passport “mobile office” concept to our riding, helping people to get their passport paperwork filed with-out them having to travel to Kelowna or Vancouver.

I will continue to offer such services throughout our riding.

Anxious SleeplessnessAt Pharmasave we see a large number of clients experiencing diffi-culty sleeping. The health effects of sleep deprivation are far reach-ing 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 solu-tion.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 con-taining 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 form-ing 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. Sleepless-ness can be caused by some prescription medications and even some over-the-counter medications and your health care profes-sional 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.

Thank you to Chief Glenn Noble, Assistant Chiefs Rob Robinson and George Pugh and all the volunteers of the Summerland Fire

Department for all your dedication and hard work.

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 Protec-tion Association (NFPA) has coined its theme for its 2015 Fire Prevention Week – “Hear The Beep Where You Sleep: Every Bedroom Needs A Work-ing Smoke Alarm.”

Across North Amer-ica, from Oct. 4 to 10, fire departments will be out en masse reinforcing the basics of home fire safe-ty.  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 pro-vide 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 spe-cialist with smoke and carbon monoxide alarm manufacturer, Kidde Canada.

Although most cities, towns, provinces and territories have adopted their own version of Can-ada’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

unpowered, you are pla-cing your family at severe risk,” Heller adds. 

Importance of smoke alarms emphasized

Wildfire seasonDuring the hot and dry summer weather, Sum-merland firefighters responded to numerous grass fires and wildfires in the community.

Peter and Fran Beulah’s ties with Summerland’s herit-age go back decades – in Fran’s case, all her life.

Now the couple have become sig-nificant donors to the South Okanagan Similkameen Med-ical Foundation’s campaign to equip the new Patient Care Tower at Penticton Regional Hospital.

Fran was born and raised in Summer-land. 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 incred-ible 18 years.

“He started Sum-merland 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 Green-wood Forest Prod-ucts in Penticton in 1983 and headed the company until his retirement in 2011.

“It’s one of the few lumber remanufac-turers 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 Founda-tion’s campaign to supply all the medic-al equipment for the PRH tower.

“It’s a really good cause. We thought we should give some-thing back to the community and the area. It’s kind of a no-brainer,” Peter said. “It’s pretty obvious that a good hospital, with state-of-the-art equipment, is essen-tial.”

The couple have no doubt that Sum-merland residents consider PRH their hospital and point-ed to the $1-million funding commitment announced earlier this year by the Sum-merland 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-mil-lion expansion at PRH will start in the spring of 2016 and be completed by late 2019.

As part of the overall project fund-ing, the South Oka-nagan Similkameen Medical Foundation must raise $20 mil-lion for all the med-ical equipment in the new tower.

The tower will include new surgical rooms, 84 single-patient rooms, ambu-latory care clinics and other facilities.

Beulah family donate to hospital

Generous donorsPeter and Fran Beulah pledged to donate $30,000 over the next five years to the South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation’s fundraising drive for the expansion at the Penticton Regional Hospital.

Carla McLeodSpecial to the

Review

Music is the gift that Bill Okos brings to the world. Not only does he sing and play, but as a luthier he also builds and restores musical instruments.

“Music for me started at a very, very young age. Like most good Ukrain-ians, I started on the accordion at about age four,” Okos explained. “I got my first guitar at age six. Through the sixties I was basically play-ing all the time, in bands.”

Okos got into repairing instru-ments at a young age as well.

He was so intrigued with the guitar as a youngster that he would pur-chase cheap guitars at yard sales and saw them in half just to see how they worked.

When he got his hands on an expen-sive guitar he was impressed by the attention to detail and the precision that had gone into build-

ing the instrument. Today as a luthier,

Okos has handled many ancient instru-ments from violins made by Stradivarius in the 18th century to a violin belonging to Mozart’s sister, built in 1560.

He talks freely about the ancient masters that cre-ated these instru-ments and has a deep respect and admira-tion for their abilities as craftsmen.

“Looking at instru-ments through his-tory is what has intrigued me,” said Okos.

“The interest in repair and the know-ledge of where it came from.”

The ancient instru-ments were all hand

carved and much of the inlaid work was done using real ivory and tortoise shell.

Because today it is illegal to buy these materials, Okos has to use plastics of similar density and colour when doing repairs on these old instruments.

He has been able to salvage some real ebony and ivory piano keys, to use in his restoration work.

Today, with mod-ern technology, instruments are eas-ily copied and mass produced.

Synthesizers can mimic the sound of any instrument in the world.

Despite this, Okos still believes there will always be room for the hand built.

“What makes the hand built instru-ment so unique is because I can truly make it personal. I can design the neck and the finger board curvature exactly to the person’s hand,” he explained. “They are heirlooms as well.”

Okos is currently building L e o n a Boyd a g u i t a r , g i f t i n g it to her “out of r e s p e c t for the perform-er and to promote B r i t i s h C o l u m -

bia wood.” He acquires his

wood from a com-pany on Vancouver Island that produces wood for building acoustic instruments from fallen trees rath-er than from fresh cut trees.

The wood used is Sitka Spruce and Western Red Cedar.

“I am so passion-ate about building as much as possible out

of British Columbia wood,” explained Okos. “Sonically we have wood here in British Columbia that is absolutely just as good as Brazilian Rosewood.”

Also passionate about his craft, Okos looks forward to get-ting each instrument he builds “strung up” so he can hear what each one sounds like.

He explained that they each have a dif-ferent sound and they must be played to build the reson-ance of the wood and maintain it.

“I’m a woodcarv-er, only my wood-carving is perform-ance woodcarving, because somebody can play it after-wards,” said Okos.

“When you get people that really know how to play and they are playing on an instrument that you’ve made, that’s pretty special. It’s absolutely spectacu-lar.”

Many a famous musician has crossed the threshold of Okos’s shop and when it comes to playing music, there is nothing that Okos himself cannot play.

His classic rock band, Okos Pokos was put together in 1972 and he also has a country and western band called the Prai-rie Mountain Rose Band. He has played locally at events and venues and has had the opportunity to play at seniors homes throughout the val-ley.

“Learning new pieces is absolutely mandatory for me, and putting them to memory. It’s a wonderful way to stave off any type of dementia,” he said as he laughed heart-ily.

Music, Okos said, “soothes that inner yearning to hear

sound performed by myself.”

Perhaps many of us in Summer-land have heard that sound, even as we have walked down the street.

“Once the sun goes down, I’ll sit out here and play the guitar,” said Okos.

“I’ve always played every day. I love the voice of the instrument.”

Summerland twins added to second season of dark comedy

The monstrous suc-cess of  Fargo’s  first season on television guaranteed its second season, and the addition of some new actors, includ-ing Brad and Todd Mann, a pair of twin brothers from Sum-merland.

The second season of the dark comedy brings the audience to 1979, when a state trooper from rural Minnesota tries to keep the lid on both petty crooks and established mobsters at the same time being tasked with protecting then-presi-dential candidate Ronald Reagan.

The Manns’ char-acters in the show, Gale and Wayne Kitchen (also twins), are members of a trio of hitmen, with actor Bokeem Woodbine (The Big Hit) filling

the third role.Also cast for sea-

son two were Kirs-ten Dunst (Spider-man, Portlandia) and Ted Danson (Cheers, Curb Your Enthusi-asm).

Their characters aren’t the nemesis of the protagonist offi-cer, but in a small community, they manage to cross hairs often.

“Our characters are after other bad guys –  we just don’t want the protag-onist to get in our way, we’re just after other antagonists,” Todd said. “In the

brilliance of (screen writer) Noah Haw-ley and the essence of the (producers of the 1997 film  Fargo) Coen brothers, they really relish on those kind of environments where you have the good guys who want to deal with the good guys and the bad guys want to deal with the bad guys, and because of

good writ-ing and a good s t o r y line, they just can’t help but c r o s s p a t h s and be w h o t h e y ’ r e meant to be.”

“It can be so dark and there can

be so much murder involved, but some-times you just can’t help but laugh at the way it’s done,” Brad said.

While they have a script to follow, every member of the pro-duction is able to add something uniquely their own.

“Noah does a great job hav-ing a collaboration between the writing and the actors, so if there was any input or suggestions we had for your charac-ter to make it more droll or ironic, they would be completely openly accepted,” Brad said.

One of their major contributions came from Todd being ambidextrous and deciding to make Wayne left-handed, offering a strong sense of symmetry while working

beside his right-handed brother on screen.

“It’s one of those things as we began filming more and more it became so much more notice-able and fun to play with,” Todd said.

To imitate the set-ting of Minnesota

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 trans-form 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 gain-ing weight to give

their characters a more burly appear-ance.

“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 nei-ther of us are big fans of beards,” Todd said.

“Being able to give extra effort to make these charac-ters 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 stu-dents 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 fea-tures 10 episodes with the first pre-miering on Oct. 12 on FX.

Media Partner:

With fall programs well underway, it is always interesting to note which pro-grams have immedi-ate popularity, and which have a loyal steady or growing following over the years.

Very few programs are the instant sen-sation as Paulette Wigston’s new class offered this fall.

Her ‘Hooked On Dancing’ partner class had its registra-tion numbers explode which demanded a second class being added. It’s wonder-ful seeing so many singles and couples enjoying their even-ings 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 regis-trants and continues to grow.

Carole comes from a health care back-ground, with more than 30 years of experience in nursing and as a therapeutic

recreation therapist. Due to her back-

ground 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 dif-ferent debilitating ail-ments.

Zumba changed her life!

The pain gradually subsided and she no longer needs any of the pain medication and well….what ail-ments?

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

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 class-es. After all Zumba is fitness in disguise. I love it when my participants let them-selves get carried by the Dance Party mood!”

On another realm of the health and fit-ness spectrum lies programming to calm the mind, reduce stress, and bring both physical and mental wellness.

Recreation pro-gram Guided Imagery Relaxation with Sawako Higuchi has had a steady influx of people look-ing 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 commun-ity’s health and well-ness needs.

Yoga and pilates are both staples in the health and fitness industry.

Yoga instructor Cheryl Plewis has more than 15 years’ experience instruct-ing and Marsha Sal-dat is in her 22nd year providing her yoga classes.

Our commun-ity 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 addi-tion to the Recreation programs and it too has hit its maximum intake with the tal-ents 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 Recrea-tion Department, please contact jma-lar@summerland.ca or call 250-494-0447 for more information.

We are solidifying our January 2016 pro-gramming over the next month.

Joanne Malar is the program coordin-ator for Summerland Recreation, three-time Olympic swim-

mer, 2012 Olympic Commentator, kin-esiologist and holis-tic nutritionist.

The Summerland Steam earned a 5-3 win over the North Okanagan Knights in Armstrong on Sun-day evening.

Summerland dom-inated the first per-iod with two unan-swered goals.

At 7:49, Riley Pet-titt scored a short-handed goal, assist-ed by Brogan Lau-tard.

At 5:49, Cole Wil-liams scored, assist-ed by Jack Mills and Braden Eliuk.

In the second per-iod, two North Oka-nagan goals brought the game to a tie, but the Steam surged ahead when Paulsen Lautard scored at

7:32. He was assisted by Eliuk and Mills.

Lautard scored again at 2:11, assisted by Mills.

In the third period, the Knights scored on a power play, but the Steam answered with a power play goal by Mills at 8:19. Mat-thew Monk and Eliuk had the assists.

The Steam are in first place in the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference: Oka-nagan Division in the Kootenay Inter-national Junior Hock-ey League.

“We played a great game. We had plenty of opportunities. We dominated most of the game,” said Sum-merland Steam coach John DePourcq. 

T h e S t e a m t o o k s o m e p e n a l -t i e s , allowing t h e Knights to get back in

the game.“They were able to

gut a win out on the road,” he said.

The Steam’s record is four wins and one

loss in regular season play.

“It’s still only our fifth game of the sea-son. The guys are generating lots of chances,” DePourcq said. “It’s always big when you can get a nice win on the road. There were some penalties at the end. There that some in the offensive zone, those types of things, that I wasn’t really happy with. We have

to understand. It’s nice when we can still win, yet learn from some valuable things that happen on the ice late in the game.”

On Friday, the Steam will return to Armstrong to face the Knights once more.

On Sunday, the Steam and the Knights will face off at the Summerland Arena. The game begins at 2 p.m.

“It’s nice when we can still win, yet learn from some valuable things that happen on the ice late in the game.””

Summerland Review Thursday, October 1, 2015 L i f e s t y L e www.summerlandreview.com 23

When I first arrived in Summer-land 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

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 hid-den gems that makes libraries truly won-derful 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 librar-ies 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 commun-ities 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 amaz-ing thing happened. People from the com-munity descended on

the library and organ-ized 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 technol-ogy into the realm of traditional media like books and maga-zines, and at a time when more and more people are slowly digitizing their col-lections 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 Sum-merland library has had on the commun-ity, 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 refresh-ments afterwards.

I can’t wait to explore the new experiences the new branch has to offer.

  Douglas Paton is a Summerland writ-er and musician.

Historic phonesAndrea Sanders, administrator of the Summerland Museum, picks up a telephone from the 1940s. The museum’s newest exhibit, Technology, opened on Wednesday. It features telephones, cameras, typewriters, computers, televisions, phonographs and more from the past 100 years.

Te c h n o l o g i c a l advances are on exhibit at the Sum-merland Museum’s latest exhibit, Tech-nology.

The exhibit was opened on Wednes-day evening.

It includes advan-ces in telephones, typewriters, radios and televisions, cam-eras and more.

For written com-munications, devices range from quill pens and a slate black-board and writing stick to typewriters from the 20th century and computers from the 1970s and 1980s.

P h o t o g r a p h i c 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 air-plane 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.
