summerland review, november 27, 2014

The provincial government is investing $8.4 million over the next seven years for the fruit tree replant program.

Under the program, fruit growers can apply for grant funding beginning on April 1 until the 2021 season.

According to provincial esti-mates, more than 600 hectares will be replanted during the pro-gram. This will provide an esti-mated 2,600 jobs annually in the Okanagan.

“This program extension ensure that growers will be able

to continue to produce a wide-variety of fruits from cher-ries, stone fruits and unique B.C. apple varieties which are known around the world for their quality and exceptional taste,” said Penticton MLA Dan Ashton.

In 2013, B.C. fruit growers pro-duced Canada’s second largest tree fruit crop, worth almost $103 million.

The application and criteria will be available on the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association web-site.

Motion to scrap controversial plan on agenda forinaugural meeting of new council

by John Arendt

A decision to rescind Summerland’s controver-sial land exchange will be the first order of business once the new municipal council takes office on Monday.

Mayor elect Peter Waterman said the resolu-tion will be on the agenda at the Dec. 1 meeting.

During the elec-tion campaign, he had

announced that if elected the first order of busi-ness for the new council would be a recommen-dation to withdraw the application before the Agricultural Land Com-mission.

The municipality’s proposed Urban Growth Plan called for the remov-al of 80.34 hectares of land within the Agricul-tural Land Reserve near the core of the commun-ity. In exchange, 91.7 hec-tares in the Prairie Valley area would be added to the land reserve.

The application is now before the Agricultural Land Commission.

As a member of the outgoing council, Water-man was the sole mem-ber opposed to the land exchange.

The land exchange was needed for the new growth plan. Municipal-ities in British Columbia are required to have a plan in place to accom-modate future growth.

“There are a number of options that can be dis-cussed,” municipal plan-ner Ian McIntosh said. “We’ll see what council’s direction is.”

Waterman said the municipality will revert to the growth plan in the existing Official Com-

munity Plan for now.

S u m m e r -land’s com-munity plan, adopted in 2008, received council sup-port in a 4-3 d e c i s i o n . Amendments were later made, in 2009 and 2010.

Waterman said growth can be accommodated by infilling and through sub-divisions which are ready to go.

The Wharton Street project would also pro-vide development close to the downtown core.

In the past decade, two developers have expressed a strong inter-est in a development for Wharton Street, at the site of the existing museum and library.

“There’s potential. It just takes the right condi-tions,” Waterman said.

During the election campaign, other mem-bers elected to the new council had also stated their opposition to the plan.

Work on the Urban Growth Plan began early in 2013 and came to pub-lic hearing early this year, after roughly a year of preparation.

Council conclusions

Lend a helping handVolunteer your time with one of

Summerland’s many community service organizations.

For those who are on their own in Summerland, with-out family or close friends nearby, the festive season can be a lonely time of the year.

A new initiative by NeighbourLink will bring together people in the community for

a holiday meal.This year, Neigh-

bourLink has intro-duced Summerland’s Great Christmas Match-Up to bring together those who wish to host others for the day and those who do not want to spend Christmas Day alone.

At various times in past years, various churches and busi-nesses have hosted community Christ-mas dinners.

Mirjana Koml-jenovic, commun-ity coordinator for NeighbourLink said a similar event was considered, but dur-ing a recent Neigh-bourLink board meeting, the match-up concept was sug-gested as an alterna-tive.

“We can link neigh-bours, and that’s what NeighbourLink is all about,” Koml-jenovic said.

Since the concept

was introduced, sev-eral families have already offered to open up their homes for the day.

Those who par-ticipate are asked to provide information about the presence of pets, whether their home is smoke-free and whether alcohol will be served. This information is used to ensure a good match between hosts and guests.

Names will be accepted until Dec. 20. After that time, the hosts will contact the guests to make arrangements for the Dec. 25 meal.

The Wills, Estates and Succession Act

You may have heard in the news that BC is changing the law regarding Wills, Estates and Probate. After a very long time-consuming process, lawmakers in BC have created the Act referred to above. It is a new and improved consolidation of the various statutes that dealt with this area of law previously. The Act is scheduled to come into force on March 31, 2014.Most people’s existing wills are not affected by the changes in legislation as the lawmakers concentrated more on updating Estate and Probate procedures. That is not to say that there are not any changes however. One very important change is with respect to how joint ownership of real property and bank accounts is dealt with in the event that both joint owners pass away at the same time. In the rare circumstance where that occurs and it cannot be determined who passed away first, a very different distribution of the joint asset will occur from what had been the law previously.It is always a good idea to review your will on a regular basis. This new legislation is a very good reason to review your existing will and estate plan. A Lawyer specializing in Wills and Estates can answer any questions you might have.

POLICE rEPOrt

by John Arendt

It was an emotion-al time of goodbyes on Monday morning as members of Sum-merland’s outgoing municipal council reflected on their time at the table.

The meeting is the last before the newly elected municipal council is sworn in on Dec. 1.

Coun. Peter Waterman, who was elected as mayor in the Nov. 15 election, is the only mem-ber of the previous council to return to the table.

Coun. Martin Van Alphen, Coun. Robert Hacking and Coun. Bruce Hallquist were unsuccessful in their re-election efforts, as

was Coun. Orv Rob-son in his bid for the mayor’s position.

Outgoing mayor Janice Perrino and Coun. Lloyd Christo-pherson did not seek re-election.

“Three years to serve the commun-ity has been a pleas-ure and a real learn-ing experience,” Van Alphen said. ‘I think we’ve accomplished a lot.

“It has been a won-derful challenge,” Robson said.

“We did accom-plish some significant hurdles.”

Ch r i s to ph ers on thanked the members of municipal staff for their dedication.

“Our staff is abso-lutely awesome,” he said.

Hacking said he appreciated the opportunity to serve the community for the past three years.

“I wish I could do that for a lot longer,” he said. “This has been a very excellent experience.”

Hallquist, who has served on council at various times for 40 years, said his time at the table has been rewarding.

“I have to say that the last two councils that I have been on were without a doubt the most productive, enjoyable councils that I have participat-ed in,” he said.

Perrino said the past council has had many successes over the years.

“Whether you are

looking at roads, the RCMP detachment, the dozens of policy changes, staff chan-ges, a new industrial area and the addi-tion of services like transit that took us 15 years to bring to this community, we have done many things to improve Summer-land and take it for-ward into the future,” she said.

Waterman, who will assume the mayor’s role on Dec. 1, said the past coun-cil has been product-ive.

“I appreciate the leadership you’ve shown for this coun-cil,” he said to Per-rino.

“We’ve achieved a great deal of good for the community.”

Council members reflect on decisions

by Richard RolkeBlack Press

An Okanagan native is picking up a camera and joining the fight against a looming invader.

Brynne Morrice, who grew up in Ver-non and is an actor in New York City, is filming the documen-tary, The Threat of Zebra Mussels in B.C.

“This is really a story that needs to be told,” he said dur-ing an interview from New York.

It was during a visit to the Okanagan two years ago that he became aware of the possibility of zebra and quagga mus-sels, which originate from Europe, tak-

ing hold in the val-ley and changing the ecosystem.

“I was curious and looked it up. I became concerned. If it gets into our lakes and rivers, it will be devastating,” he said.

Morrice decided to tap into his skills as an actor and a pro-ducer and launch a documentary along with his sister Eilidh Morrice-Ashdown and filmmaker Crys-tal Arnette.

For Morrice, it’s important to show the damage quagga and zebra mussels have already caused across North America.

“Once zebra and quagga mussels arrive in a lake or

river, they spread and colonize rapid-ly, with a single female spawning over 1,000,000 eggs per year. Colonies of mussels very quick-ly cover every hard surface in the lake,” states the donation

appeal on Kickstarter. Most of the B.C.

filming for the docu-mentary is completed and interviews were done with a number of individuals and the Okanagan Basin Water Board, which wants government

to install inspection stations at B.C. bor-ders to stop mussel-infested boats from entering.

It’s anticipated the documentary will be completed in Janu-ary and then it will be posted on the Internet.

Gavel presentationMunicipal administrator Tom Day presents outgoing mayor Janice Perrino with a gavel to commemorate her service as mayor. Perrino held the role for six years. On Dec. 1, Peter Waterman will be sworn in as Summerland’s mayor for the next four years.

Documentary examines threat from mussels

Summerland RCMP issued two suspen-sions for alcohol to motorists over the past week.

Sgt. Stephane Lacroix said road checks will be set up during the festive season to check for impaired driving.

VICTORIA – When the B.C. government announced its latest changes to liquor distri-bution, the reaction was not what I expected.

Private store representatives complained bitterly that the government is allowing fur-ther expansion of fridges and “cold rooms” in selected gov-ernment liquor stores, and longer operat-ing hours that include more Sunday open-ings.

Those hours, along with non-union staff, are the private stores’ big advantages as things stand in B.C.’s hybrid liquor retailing system.

The B.C. Government Employees’ Union didn’t seem at all perturbed that state-run stores’ key advantage was also going to be gone effective April 1. That would be preferential wholesale pricing, in which the government’s monopoly wholesaler sells to them at cost and to private stores at higher rates.

How much higher? Liquor Distribution Branch officials were carefully vague on that, and it varies depending on which of the 22 wholesale cat-egories you look at.

They released a graph that suggests the average whole-sale cost to government stores might be going up 10 to 15 per cent to create a “level playing field” with private stores.

That wholesale price differ-

ence is the main reason private stores have generally higher retail prices. And the majority of the province’s revenue of nearly $1 billion a year comes from this monopoly wholesale business, where the hidden tax is coyly termed a “mark-up.”

When the new, simplified system comes in next spring, a bottle of hard liquor will have a “mark-up” of 124 per cent. That’s right, LDB more than doubles the price with its wholesale liquor tax.

And if it’s premium booze, anything valued at more than $21 a litre will get an extra lux-ury tax on top of that.

Coolers and ciders will see a 73 per cent mark-up.

Wines are taxed at 89 per cent, with extra luxury tax on premium wines.

Beer gets a per-litre tax with ascending rates for small, medium and large breweries. Then of course there is federal and provincial sales tax applied to all of it. Cheers!

Premier Christy Clark acknowledged that the first guiding principle of this over-haul is to keep that government revenue coming.

The new BCGEU president, Stephanie Smith, doesn’t sound like your bullhorn-toting social-ist of yore.

She insists she’s gung-ho to compete head to head with those private interlopers and get back some lost market share, particularly on the high-volume cold beer sales.

The union has another ace in the hole.

Its current contract stipulates that LDB can’t close stores.

In some small towns there are government stores that lose money, particularly since they’ve had more private com-petition.

But at least for the duration of this BCGEU contract, the government retail arm will con-tinue to operate in some places as a perverse social program, subsidizing retail clerk jobs that pay nearly twice what private retail pays.

And let’s face it, running a till at a liquor store is not rocket surgery.

Private and government store staff have to take the same training, and liquor inspector sting operations have increased vigilance on ID checks in all stores.

With higher wholesale prices applied to government stores, this kind of artificial support will cost more. The only way LDB could maintain it without subsidizing it from the whole-sale windfall would be to raise retail prices.

The LDB says this new sim-plified system is “not intended to impact consumer pricing.” Note the careful choice of words.

Oh, one last thing. There is another new tax in the works. It will be applied to higher-alcohol beverages, in an effort to reduce adverse health effects.

SUMMERLAND REVIEWA PART OF THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1908 WWW.SUMMERLANDREVIEW.COM

There are too many accidents on Highway 97 through Sum-merland.

On Monday early in the even-ing, emergency crews were called follow-ing a two-vehicle colli-sion near Jones Flat Road.

The acci-dent was serious enough that ambulance crews were needed.

An accident near the same intersection earlier this fall resulted in a fatality.

These incidents are disturbing and they are happening far too often.

culls

NeighbourLink’s plan for Sum-merland’s Great Christmas Match-Up will help to make the holi-day season a little less lonely for some in the community.

Match-up organizers will connect host families with guests who would like a place to go for a holiday dinner.

This event can be a good holi-day experience for those partici-pating. It can also help to connect people who might not otherwise spend the holiday together.

for growthWhen the newly elected

municipal council takes office on Dec. 1, the first order of business will be a resolution to rescind a controversial land application.

The application, before the provincial Agricultural Land Commission, calls for the removal of 80.34 hectares from the Agricultural Land Reserve near the downtown core, while 91.7 hectares in the Prairie Valley area would be added to the land reserve.

Since this land exchange was presented, many in the community have expressed their outrage about it.

During the election campaign in October and November, opposition to the land exchange was a key point for many candidates. Several of those who were elected had promised to vote to rescind the applica-tion to the Agricultural Land Commission.

Scrapping the land plan is clearly the direction Summerland voters wanted from the new council.

It makes sense for the new council to hold this vote as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, a decision to rescind the land swap appli-cation might not be sufficient.

While such a decision will put an end to a plan which raised the ire of many in Summerland, it is not neces-sarily the end of discussions and debates about future growth.

In British Columbia, muni-cipalities are required to have growth plans in place.

Without proposed Urban Growth Plan, council is left with the direction for growth from the 2008 Official Community Plan. That plan identified the Prairie Valley area as the key site for future growth.

If the existing plan is considered workable for Summerland’s future needs, the matter is resolved. If not, the new council will be faced with the unenviable task of creating a plan which can accommodate growth.

Liquor changes could push up prices

Everyone Welcome

Dear Editor:I live on the New Improved

Prairie Valley Road Express and Race Track.

The thousands of dollars spent on this thing have now made racing there much easier.

I’ve spoken to the last

mayor and the RCMP about putting a speed trap in my driveway, before someone is killed, again, but it falls on deaf ears.

This new sidewalk/bike path runs in front of my house where I lose seven feet of yard

and now have a pile of gravel they left for me to deal with.

By the way, this “sidewalk” to make things safer runs west about 200 yards to the most dangerous road to walk on in the town. It just ends.

Logging trucks start at 2:30

a.m. to about 6 p.m. and no one follows the speed limit.

Even the contractors work-ing on the road, who by the way were great, even they were terrified at the speed people drive on that road.

Hundreds of thousands of

dollars spent on the circles and this road now being destroyed by huge trucks and racing cars.

Really, I never complain about things like this, but this is nuts.

Lights of the seasonIn the 1950s and 60s the arrival of Christmas was heralded by the appearance of the nativity scene just below the Steven house at the west end of Main Street. The large figures were created by the Art Club with the co-operation of the Municipal Works department. The residents of the home graciously allowed the use of their yard, going so far as to endure covered windows when the display grew and the floodlights lit up the entire side of the house. With the construction of taller buildings below the scene, visibility became limited and the Main Street Nativity was retired. However, while the floodlights are gone, the streets of Summerland still manage to brightly announce the pending Yuletide. Don’t miss the 27th Annual Festival of Lights tomorrow, Friday Nov. 28. See you there.

Dear Editor:I am a Kiwanis

member and have been for just over two years.

I am hoping this open letter will explain more about Kiwanis and encour-age you to join us.

When I joined Kiwanis, I had no

idea what Kiwanis was about or what its goals were.

Since that time, I have learned that Kiwanis is a world-wide organization and helps children all over the world.

We sponsor three different hospital programs that are

researching cancer in children.

They have found in their research that children’s cancer cures will help adults as well as children.

We sponsor the Elimination Project, working to save the lives of infants and mothers worldwide

with the goal of elim-inating maternal neo-natal tetanus which can quickly turn the joy of childbirth into tragedy.

We apply for gam-ing funds which we share with many ser-vice clubs in the Sum-merland area that are working to help chil-

dren within the com-munity.

Some of those pro-grams are the Break-fast Club, a candidate for the Summerland Royalty Pageant, Summerland Asset Development Initia-tive, NeighbourLink, Read to Me, Girl Guides, B.C. Guide

Dogs and many more.

We also hold pan-cake breakfasts dur-ing the spring and summer to secure extra funds to help where there is a need.

If some of you are thinking, what can I do to contribute to

our community, we would love to have you join us.

There are many levels of service and we know you are all busy, but come and give us a try.

Come and join Kiwanis.

In front from left are Jenayah Lefebvre, Maria Raitt, Sophie Ferlizza, Devyn Slade, Ally Handfield, Marie Holmes, Brooklyn Stern. Mis-sing is teacher Elizabeth Potter.

Early this Novem-ber, the Summerland

School of Dance’s Dance Team per-

formed an All Can-adian program on the

Hollywood Back Lot Stage at the Disney-land Resort.

The team was accepted in the Disneyland Resort Youth program last year and the team had been preparing for this venture ever since.

The students par-ticipated in a DLR Youth dance work-shop with Shelly Nichols who has been with Disney for more than 30 years.

She was an inspira-tion for the Summer-land students.

It was a lot of work getting to Disney with the team rais-ing funds to offset the costs of the trip, and many hours of rehearsing.

Eva Goss, director and owner of Sum-merland School of Dance said the dance team received gen-

erous support from the local merchants in Summerland and Penticton.

The dance school received many dona-tions to help with the fundraising efforts.

The DLR receives thousands of appli-cations to participate in this program, and the Dance Team was privileged to have been accepted.

The team not only represented Summer-land School of Dance; they also represented Disney.

“The students, parents and teachers had such a wonder-ful time,” Goss said. “This is the first time that Summerland School of Dance has ever participated in this program, and we are all so proud to have represented our town of Summer-land.”

Dancers perform at Disneyland

Summerland Sec-ondary School will host an evening of science on Wednes-day, Dec. 3 during the fourth annual Sum-merland Celebrates Science.

Shona Becker, sci-ence teacher at the

high school, said the event begins at 5:30 p.m. and features more than 12 stations with science-based activities.

At 7 p.m., there will be a Crazy Chemistry Show in Centre Stage Theatre.

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

This year’s flu shot may prove less effective than usual because the dominant virus now circulating has mutated signifi-cantly in the months since the vaccine was devised.

The H3N2 strain – one of three target-ed in this year’s flu vaccine – is thought to have changed its genetic makeup enough to possibly thwart the antibodies that the vaccine acti-vates.

Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an epi-demiologist with the B.C. Centre for Dis-ease Control, is still recommending the vaccine, particularly for the elderly, the chronically ill and those with comprom-ised immune sys-tems.

“It’s not a per-fect match,” she said. “But for the high risk, even an imperfectly matched vaccine is going to give cross protec-tion. And for some people it could be life-saving.”

She said the H3N2 strain tends to be particularly nasty to the elderly and may

bring a deadlier flu season than usual.

“We may see more hospitalizations or deaths this year,” Skowronski said.

She said it’s par-ticularly concerning that the flu has struck B.C. surprisingly early this season, causing outbreaks in eight seniors’ care homes.

The vaccine was formulated last February because it takes six to eight months to produce in large quantities and the H3N2 virus is thought to have since mutated while circu-lating in the southern hemisphere.

Skowronski said it’s still not too late to get the shot and some protection when flu activity peaks in the weeks ahead, includ-ing any later surge of cases of influenza B, which tends to peak in March or April.

The vaccine also targets the influenza B and H1N1 virus-es, but they’re con-sidered less likely to cause illness this flu season.

Even in years when the vaccine is a better fit – last year’s was about 70 per cent effective against the then-dominant H1N1

strain – Skowronksi says everyone should wash their hands fre-quently and avoid touching their eyes, nose and mouth.

People who get the flu shot often mis-takenly think any illness they contract can’t be flu and some-times fail to get appro-

priate treatment.“It doesn’t make

you invincible,” Skowronski said.

Anti-viral medi-cation can stop or

fight an influenza infection but must be given quickly, ideally within 12 hours of the start of symptoms.

An estimated 3,500

Canadians die each year from flu com-plications – mainly seniors and others with underlying con-ditions.

Q: My front teeth are shorter than they were when I was younger. They don’t bother me, but is there a problem?

A: We use our teeth everyday, so you would think they would wear quite a bit. However, the normal wear rate for our teeth is about 1 mm every 100 years (so very little indeed). Most of us would not notice a 1 mm reduction on our teeth, so likely you have more than average, unless you’re over 200 years old! There are a few possible reasons for our teeth to wear down. Most damage to the enamel (or outer protective layer) is done during the day. Some people clench or squeeze their teeth together when they are concentrating which can cause enamel loss. This often becomes a habit that we are not aware of. Once the enamel is lost, the way our teeth fit t o g e t h e r c h a n g e s a n d p o s s i b l y also affects our joint. Changes to your TMJ or joint can vary from uncomfortable to downright painful. Teeth can also wear at night due to grinding, although the amount of force that we put our teeth at night is a lot less than during the day. Night grinding may be caused by an airway issue (difficulty in breathing at night). Options for corrective treatment range from a simple night guard, filling in missing enamel, orthodontics to prevent further wear, or crowns to rebuild missing enamel. Most treatment can be done in stages to make it easier to accomplish. Detecting why the enamel was lost will determine what treatment is best for you.

Thousands expected for Festival of Lights

This Friday the Summerland Cham-ber of Commerce will host Christmas Rocks! at the 27th annual Festival of Lights.

Light Up is recog-nized as the Okanag-an’s premier Christ-mas event and this year we are expecting more than 6,000 guests for the even-ing.

Here at the Cham-ber we have a few goals for the evening.

Naturally, we want it to be a really great party.

We also want to showcase our down-town and our local businesses, provide a wonderful fund-raising opportunity for local non-profit organizations, and, last but not least, let our visitors know that Summerland is a great place to live.

The evening kicks off with a Santa pro-cession at 5 p.m.

There will be dra-matic ice sculptures sponsored by Nest-ers Market, the won-derful Santa’s work-shop hosted by the Summerland Credit Union, and some

new and extravagant bouncy toys as well as photos with Santa sponsored by IGA.

There’s also an amazing amount that goes on behind the scenes in order to organize a festival of this size so this year we want to thank Progressive Waste Services for coming on board as our Festi-val Services Sponsor to make all the guest comfort and safety items possible.

Our Summerland royalty will be our resident elves on Fri-day so look for them when you bring your letters to Santa to drop off at the post office.

The Main stage will be rocking with

local bands as well as Vancouver band Damn Fools and you won’t want to miss the spectacu-lar fireworks finale sponsored by the Summerland Credit Union.

You’ll also be able to try the most deli-cious food you’ve ever seen in one place.

A post fireworks finale will be located in front of the main stage and headlined by the Kinshira Per-formance Troupe.

Wear whatever you have that lights up.

Light Up head gear and Santa wands will also be available for purchase at the Chamber’s informa-tion booth on Main Street.

See you on Nov. 28.Check out all the

activities at our web-site, summerland-lightup.com.

We always appre-ciate your feedback. Please contact me at [email protected] or our chamber presi-dent, Arlene Fenrich, at president@sum-m e r l a n d c h a m b e r.com.

Christine Petkau is the manager of the Summerland Cham-ber of Commerce.

Generous donationColin Powell, left, director of fundraising and director of public relations for the Food Bank and Ingrid Wuensche, vice-president of the Food Bank receive a donation of $3,200 from Marion Christian of Sumac Ridge Estate Winery. The money was raised from donations for wine tastings over the past 12 months.

by Carla McLeodSpecial to the

Review

It is the only store in Summerland where customers line

up, waiting for the doors to open.

The Thrift Shop is operated by the Sum-merland Health-Care Auxiliary, an organ-

ization made up of approximately 175 members.

Earnings from the store are contributed to community health care services.

The shop itself is operated much like any retail business. Policy and proced-ures are determined at the executive level by the board mem-bers and the day to day operations are carried out by man-agement and staff. In the case of the thrift shop, the differences are, the work at every level is done by vol-unteers and the prod-ucts sold are donated.

Val Carriere enjoys her job as head con-vener of the store. She ensures there are enough volunteers scheduled each day and that things run smoothly. She deals with any minor prob-lems that may arise, for customers or vol-unteers.

“It’s a lot of work,” she said. “You’ve got to keep everyone happy.”

Wes Campbell is the president of the auxiliary and also is the lead pricer for the five pricing crews. They start at 5:30 a.m., Monday, Wednes-day and Friday. Bags and boxes of donated items are opened, inspected, sorted and priced. Clothing is checked to make sure there are no rips or stains and that zip-pers work and pock-ets are empty. Clothes that are out of season

are boxed and stored away, for the seasonal crews, who work on Tuesdays and Thurs-days, to bring out at the appropriate time of year.

Items such as puz-zles, books, house-hold goods and toys are all priced by vol-unteers that are in charge of each cat-egory.

Any donation that may be considered antique, is set aside for the “Antique Lady” to price and display.

There is a policy in place that restricts any of the volunteers from purchasing these higher quality goods until the store is open and the cus-tomers have had a chance to come in.

The merchandise in the store is rotated on a regular basis. Price tickets are col-our coded, with a dif-ferent colour being used each week. If

something has not sold within three weeks it is removed from the floor. Non saleable items are passed on to a net-work of other char-ities in neighbouring communities.

“We really make an effort to not put out anything that is stained or ripped or otherwise looks like it has been through a hundred washes,” said Berit Hack. “We want to have good quality merchandise, because that is what brings people back.”

Hack also explained that the store has to pay to have their garbage removed. She encour-ages people to check the website to see what can and cannot be donated.

“There are a lot of things that people drop off that should be going to the land-fill,” she said. “We want things that are

clean and gently used. We don’t appre-ciate getting things that really should have gone into the garbage.”

Campbell said “Ninety per cent of the donations we get we can use. We try not to throw any-thing away.”

The importance of dropping off dona-tions between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. was stressed.

“We can make sure there are people here to take the donations inside, rather than leaving them out overnight,” Campbell explained.

“We appreciate the donations,” said Car-riere. “We wouldn’t be here without them.”

“The community has been really great to us with donations and how they’ve supported the Thrift Shop,” added Camp-bell.

Even though the Health Care Aux-iliary has a large number of members, they are always look-ing for more volun-teers, because they also provide volun-teers to host the eye surgery clinics, the visiting program at the extended care and the Candy striper Program.

Campbell said that many of their vol-unteers are in their 70s and 80s. “We could really use some young volunteers. Young for us is 60,” he quipped. He said he would encourage others to join, because “it’s such a happy place to work.”

Volunteer, Diana Bennest agrees. “It’s the best social club in town,” she said.

A team effortVolunteers with the Summerland Health-Care Auxiliary spend many hours each week at the store. Money raised goes to community health care services.

Thrift Shop requires volunteer effort

Raising a glass to Agur Lake CampStephanie Schales, left, owner of 8th Generation; Bernd Schales, wine maker; Mirjana Komljenovic, ALCS office manager and Yolanta Malk-ovska, manager of 8th Generation celebrate a sizeable donation from the winery to the camp.

Winery contributes funds to Agur Lake CampStephanie Schales,

owner of 8th Gen-eration Vineyard, presented a cheque for $4,730 to Mirjana Komljenovic, office manager of Agur Lake Camp Society.

The money came from donations by customers plus the ice wine tasting fee charged this summer.

“That’s close to enough to finish cabin number three,” Kom-ljenovic exclaimed on seeing the size of the cheque.

ALCS, a charitable organization, had two cabins in oper-ation, plus a trailer, last summer. Located 20 kilometres west of Summerland, the camp serves family

groups that have members with special needs. It is a totally accessible wilderness camp.

8th Generation Vineyard has three estates for growing grapes in the Okanag-an, producing 5000 cases of wine a year. They make both white and red wines, as well as ice and sparkling wines. Though they have been operating in Canada less than a decade, the family tradition of wine making dates back 230 years in Ger-many. Schales said about their donation that they want to give back to a community that has been good to them.

Season opener scheduled for Dec. 3 against Keremeos

The Summerland Secondary School Senior Boy Rockets tip off their 2014-2015 basketball season this Wednesday, Dec. 3.

The boys host Keremeos at 6:30 p.m. in an exhibition game with the senior girls to play earlier at 5 p.m.

It is also a school-wide spirit day as stu-dents will be dressed in team colours and the games will fea-ture a fundraiser for the Summerland Food Bank. Entrance to both games is by donation.

This year’s boys team has good bal-ance: seven Grade 11 players and six Grade 12s including cap-tains Abhi Lekhi and Gurek Rathore.

“This team pos-sesses a lot of talent and team work,” Lekhi said. “Our pas-sion should allow us to do incredible things this year.”

Coach Dave Stathers said the Rockets will play in the South-Central Zone with competi-tion from top-ranked Oliver, Princess Mar-garet from Penticton and George Elliot from Winfield.

Three of the four teams will qualify for the Okanagan Valley Championships in February.

“We have a good chance if all the right pieces come together at the right time,” Stathers said.

For basketball fans and grads, the annual Christmas Alumni games are scheduled for Saturday, Decem-ber 27 at the Sum-merland Secondary School Gym.

Canada’s top four-man bobsleigh piloted by Justin Kripps appears to be firing on all cylinders after handily winning the gold medal in a final tune-up race on Sunday prior to the start of the World Cup season.

The 27-year-old Olympian captured top spot on the podium in the first race of a four-man double-header at the North America’s Cup race at WinSport’s Canada Olympic Park.

Kripps, of Sum-merland, and his crew of Edmonton’s Bryan Barnett, Saskatoon’s Ben Coakwell, and Tim Randall, of Bur-

lington, Ont., clocked the fastest runs at 54:73 and 54:92 on each of his two blasts down the 14-corner track for a winning time of 1:49.65.

“I have some new crew members this year and some are pushing from dif-ferent spots so we are just continu-ing to work on our starts together,” said Kripps in a release. “The goal this year is multiple podiums and to get my first medal in four-man.”

Kripps, who did not compete in the second race Sunday, enjoyed a breakthrough sea-son in 2014 where he won his first World Cup two-man race in Konigssee, Ger-

many just weeks before driving in his first Olympic Games.

Kripps also repre-sented Canada at the 2010 Olympic Winter

Games as a member of Pierre Lueders’ four-man crew.

YOUTH AGAINST VIOLENCE LINE

[email protected] up. Be heard. Get help.

Quit.Before your time

runs out.

This weekend marks the official kickoff to a whole range of Christmas and holiday trad-itions.

First up is, of course, the annual Festival of Lights. This is followed by the fourth annual Light Up The Vines on Saturday and Sun-day organized by the Bottleneck Drive association.

Sunday will see also a musical extrava-ganza as Musaic, the Tuneagers, Nara-mata Community Choir, the Penticton Secondary Concert Choir and the Pen-ticton United Sanctu-ary Choir perform at 2:30 p.m. at Penticton United Church.

In the evening there will be a benefit concert at Lakeside Presbyterian Church featuring an evening of Christmas music with proceeds going to help mothers and women in North Africa.

Next Wednesday the always popular Penticton Tune-Agers choir and orchestra will be at Summer-land United Church for a lively Christ-mas concert entitled “Who’s Coming to Town???”

On Dec. 7, the gym at Summerland Middle School will be filled with Christmas music as choirs from local churches gather for the annual Choir Fest.

Musaic will be pre-senting their annual seasonal music con-cert a few days later at St. John’s Lutheran Church.

They will perform a rich mix of music including Gordon Lightfoot’s Song for a Winter’s Night and a choral medley from the Disney animated film Frozen.

You’ll also want

to mark your calen-dars for a dramatic reading of the Dick-ens classic “A Christ-mas Carol” being performed Dec. 5 at Summerland United Church as a fund-raiser for the Com-munity Resource Centre.

The following week the Peach-land Players Society present The Christ-mas Bus at 4th Street Place in Peachland.

The B.C. Boys Choir are at the Cle-land Theatre Dec. 5 and the Penticton Concert Band per-forms Dec. 9 at Pen-ticton United Church.

Full details on

all these musical events can be found on posters around town, in the What’s Up column in the Review or on the Event Calendar on the Art Council’s website and by sub-scribing to the week-ly e-Palette. Email a r t s p a l e t t e @ s u m -merlandarts.com for details.

This Arts Palette column is written by David Finnis, Publi-city Chair and Presi-dent of the Sum-merland Commun-ity Arts Council, PO Box 1217, 9533 Main St., Summerland, B.C. V0H 1Z0.
