Slight dip in secondary and Trout Creek elementary enrolments

by John Arendt

The student population in Summerland’s schools is close to the same as last year’s enrol-ment.

Linda Van Alphen, one of Summerland’s two trustees on the Okanagan Skaha School Board, said there are around 1,300 students in the commun-ity this year, according to the preliminary enrolment numbers.

At Summerland Secondary School, there are 451 students this year, down from 458 last year.

At Summerland Middle School, enrolment rose from 310 last year to 314 this year.

Giant’s Head School saw its student population rise from 325 last year to 340 this year.

Trout Creek School has 195 students this year, down from 215 last year.

Van Alphen said student population figures have fluctu-ated over the years.

At one point, Trout Creek Ele-mentary School had around 100 students.

“Trout Creek is way up from where it was,” she said.

The increase at Giant’s Head Elementary School is significant enough to justify a staff expan-sion.

“Giant’s Head is up 15 stu-dents, so we’ve added one more teacher there,” she said.

Van Alphen said some of the schools have had higher student populations in the past. When she first became a trustee around a decade ago, she said Summer-land Secondary School was close to its capacity of 650 students.

Despite the decline, the school will remain open, she added.

“We’re not closing the high school. We’re not even having that discussion,” she said.

Prelimary numbers province-wide show a loss of nearly 6,000 students compared to actual enrolment in the 2012-2013 school year.

Despite hot and dry summer weather, the municipality still has plenty of water in its reser-voirs.

Shawn Hughes, water dis-tribution chief operator for the municipality, said Summer-land’s reservoirs have around 11,000 megalitres at present.

The total capacity is 14,136 megalitres.

Because the water level has remained high, the community has not needed to impose water-ing limits beyond the Stage 1 restrictions which are in place throughout the year.

“There’s no concern about

going into Stage 2 at this point,” Hughes said.

He said careful water use from the community is part of the reason the storage levels are good at present.

Hughes said the municipality did not need to issue any water quality advisories this summer.

In the past, advisories were issued during the summer as water processed at the water treatment plant was mixed in with chlorinated water, in order to meet the community’s sum-mertime demands.

Although the plant was operating near full capacity on several occasions this summer, Hughes said supplementing the

treated water with chlorinated water was not necessary this year.

The water system separa-tion, which separates domes-tic water from irrigation water, has reduced the demand on the treatment plant, he said, but added that further separation is still needed.

The next phase of water sys-tem separation will be in the Garnett Valley area.

At the Union of B.C. Muni-cipalities conference this week, Summerland representatives were scheduled to meet with provincial officials to ask for the funding assistance for this pro-ject.

Business Methods Patents

In the U.S., it is now possible to protect not only the products you sell by a patent but also the way you do business. The U.S. Patent Office now recognizes ABusiness Method Patents@. This patent allows a Company to protect successful methods of doing business. An example of this new patent law is found with Dell Computers. They have applied for and received a Business Methods Patent for their direct to consumer and build to order sales approach.

Most people associate Patent Law and patents with tangible goods. This new area of Patent Law goes far beyond that. Given the pace of technology and the very high stakes in business these days, it is easy to see why business people are taking all the steps they can to protect themselves.

Pedestrian killed

An 84 year old Summerland woman died when she was struck by a motocycle.

Cpl. Bruce Haley said the woman was walking in a marked crosswalk in the 7700 block of Prairie Valley Road on Fri-day at 11:32 a.m.

An eastbound BMW motorcycle operated by a 62 year old man hit the woman, who was conscious at the scene.

The woman was then transported to Penticton Regional Hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries.

RCMP said the women’s next-of-kin have been notified but her name has not been released yet.

Mounties are continuing their investigation at this time and are not sure if charges will be pending on the cylist as of yet.

The B.C. govern-ment’s consultation on liquor reform has begun with a debate about allowing alco-holic beverage sales in grocery stores.

“I think it is long overdue and I really applaud the initia-tive. I think the last liquor reform was in the 80s and times have changed significantly,” said Christine Coletta, co-owner of Oka-nagan Crush Pad. “I’m hoping with that review there will be initiatives to help B.C. wineries con-tinue to grow and thrive.”

Coletta said some of the changes she would like to see examined include secondary off-site winery shop licences. Currently wineries can have an onsite wine shop attached to their facility, but a secondary would allow standalone shops.

“Or, a group of wineries would work together for example in downtown Sum-merland. I think that would be a great plus for the wineries and a plus for some small-er communities that then could use that as a driver for tour-ism to specific areas in town,” she said.

Coletta said they need support from the government for the 240 wineries, and growing, in the prov-ince that not only drive tourism but employ many people. She is encouraging everyone to provide input to the govern-ment.

“The No. 1 thing is it all has to make sense to the consum-

er. We reply on them to buy our products whether we are a restaurant, winery, brewery or pub. This all has to benefit the consumer and we currently are in one of the most expensive liquor markets in the world,” said Coletta.

The B.C. govern-ment’s point man on liquor reform, Richmond-Steves-ton MLA John Yap, posted his own com-ments on the subject Monday. Yap warned that while opening up alcohol sales is a popular suggestion, “it certainly isn’t as straightforward as it may seem.”

Yap noted that beer, wine and spir-its are already sold in rural grocery stores that are licensed because their service area isn’t big enough to warrant a gov-ernment retail store. In urban areas, he

questioned whether alcoholic beverages should be sold from convenience stores and gas stations, lar-ger grocery stores, or big-box retailers.

“When this topic comes up in my meetings with health, safety and law-and-order advocates, the

question will surely become that already we see 30 per cent of late-night atten-dees at a typical B.C. emergency depart-ment report alcohol consumption in the six hours prior to their injury or ill-ness,” Yap said. “If we make it more

available for the sake of convenience, will we see rates like this rise?”

The government is inviting public com-ments until Oct. 31 at the website, www.gov.bc.ca/liquorpoli-cyreview. The site also lists submissions from health care, police and alcoholic beverage industry representatives.

The current review continues a remake of B.C. liquor policy that began in 2002, when cold beer and wine stores were allowed to sell spir-its, and a 10-year moratorium on new private store licences was lifted.

When the consul-tation was launched in August, Yap said licences for serving craft beer or local wine at farmers’ mar-kets would be con-sidered.

Pubs also want to allow under-aged children in with their parents for lunch, putting them on a level playing field with licensed restau-rants.

Liquor reform consultation begins

A taste for changeOkanagan Crush Pad co-owner Christine Coletta at the tasting lounge located in Summerland. She is hoping the B.C. government liquor review will result in positive changes.

VICTORIA – Christie Clark became premier in 2011, one of her first priorities was to delay steep increases in BC Hydro rates.

BC Hydro was head-ing to the B.C. Utilities Com-mission to apply for rate increases total-ling 32 per cent over three years. This, obviously, was a problem for an unelected premier whose single message was that she was good for families, and who faced an election in two years.

The government’s Mr. Fix-It, Rich Coleman, first tried to delay a couple of expensive seismic upgrades, adding to the long history of political fiddles that pushed off expensive prob-lems. BC Hydro’s engineers soon convinced him that if the creaky old Ruskin and Camp-bell River dams were to bust in a quake, it wouldn’t be good for families downstream.

Coleman scraped up some internal savings in the vast util-ity and met Clark’s pre-deter-mined target of keeping rate increases below four per cent in the pre-election period. Mis-sion accomplished, as George W. Bush might have said.

Then last week, an August working paper on the need for BC Hydro rate hikes was leaked. It showed BC Hydro making a case for new increas-

es totaling 26 per cent over two years. The leak came via the Canadian Office and Pro-fessional Employees local 378, the BC Hydro inside staff union that has a history of mostly juvenile attacks on the B.C. Lib-eral government.

Bill Bennett, the current energy minister, spent the next couple of days repeating to anyone who would listen that this initial proposal had already been rejected, and that work was well along to make the rate increase more palat-able. Perhaps it’s back to where it was in 2011.

COPE 378 and the NDP played their rehearsed roles. Both tried to blame the situa-tion on private power contracts. The union and its political front are less concerned about rising power bills than they are about holding onto the state monop-oly on electricity generation.

Energy industry law-yer David Austin calculates that of the proposed 26.4-per-cent increase, about 3.5 per cent can be attributed to BC Hydro buying power from pri-vate sources, at prices competi-tive with new public power sources such as the Site C dam. Most of it comes from the over-due repairs to those old dams, other costly projects includ-ing the addition of turbines to two Columbia River dams, and deferred debt from previous political meddling.

In August I reported that as many as 20 of BC Hydro’s exist-

ing private power purchase contracts will be cancelled or deferred. This was also seized upon to portray private power as the root of all evil, both financially and environment-ally.

In fact the attrition rate on these projects has always been about one out of three. This is what happens when the risks of expanding the provincial electrical grid are shared with private investors.

These run-of-river and wind projects were promoted to maximize clean energy sources, as well as to spread the grid to remote areas. This was Gor-don Campbell’s climate change strategy.

Then came the gas boom. Clark seized upon liquefied natural gas exports as the key to future prosperity, and the government soon declared burning gas “clean” as long as it facilitates LNG production.

Bennett now acknowledges that gas-fired power plants are an option for the future. They are cheaper than hydro, small or large.

Bennett’s two tasks are to supply industry with cheap power and get consumer rates under control. It looks as if the gas is being turned up, and Site C is moving to the back burner.

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

In the past several weeks, we have seen numerous accidents in Summerland which should remind us all of the importance of road safety.

Several of these have required hos-pital care for some of those involved.

Operating a motor vehicle is a privilege which comes with a huge responsibility. Under the control of a safe operator, it provides a quick way to get around. In unskilled hands or if a motor vehicle operator is careless or intoxicated, the result can be a serious or fatal accident.

Use your road sense.

culls

The 104th annual Summerland Fall Fair on the weekend presented a showcase of produce, can-ning, baking, arts, crafts and more from the community.

As in past years, it drew many exhbitors and spectators.

As a special event, it is an important fall celebration.

More than that, it encourages participation from within the com-munity. The items on display show who we are.

ourpickAge gap

a concernAt first glance, the prelimin-

ary enrolment statistics from the Okanagan-Skaha School District seem encouraging. The number of students in Summerland schools is around the same as last year.

Considering the declines this community has seen in recent years, holding our own is an improvement. Looking back a little farther, the trend in recent years is cause for con-cern. Summerland’s population has increased, but the youth population has decreased.

In 1996, there were 2,555 Summerlanders 19 years of age and younger. By the 2011 federal census, that figure had dropped to 2,125. The median age in Summerland has been increasing. In 2006, it was 49.5 and by 2011, it had risen to 52.0. This speaks well to the care and services available for seniors in Summerland, but not so well for creating a family-friendly image. Whatever the reason, we have fewer families with children than we had even a few years ago. Unless this trend begins to reverse, it does not bode well for the long-term future of the community.

A heavy concentration in one segment at the exclusion of others will not work well in the long term. When a com-munity develops a reputation as a seniors’ town to the exclu-sion of all else, it becomes increasingly difficult to attract younger families. At that point, a potential consumer base and present or future labour base is gone.

Summerland still has plenty of children and families. We are not in danger of losing our schools in the foreseeable future, nor are we at risk of watching the last young family move out of town.

It should cause concern among community and business leaders, along with anyone else who has an interest in the long-term viability of Summerland. The factors behind this trend are not simple nor are they easily changed.

Still, unless youth popula-tions change, Summerland will have a difficult future ahead of it.

Occasionally, at Chamber related functions, we will mention the word advocacy and watch everyone’s eyes glaze over.

People are used to having us talk about tourism and visitor guides and flashy new websites – the shiny exterior coat of what we do here.

Advocacy is one of the important, but much less sexy, activities that we get involved in.

Not so exciting, but just as likely to affect our local busi-nesses.

Why is advocacy important?

It’s important because business owners have valu-able information to contribute to the

legislative debate. Without the bene-

fit of their insight and expertise, elect-ed officials could make uninformed decisions that could have a detrimental impact on the busi-ness community.

So one of the servi-ces that we regularly perform for the busi-nesses of Summer-

land is to advocate on their behalf with policy and decision makers – sometimes even before the busi-nesses know that they have needs that must be addressed.

Sometimes we work on local issues, either alone or with another party.

An example in the past year was our joint presenta-tion with the Pen-ticton Chamber of Commerce to raise concerns about the electoral boundary changes.

Often there are other organizations in the region or the province who are similarly impacted by policies so we work together to approach decision makers.

Recently we have worked with other chambers through-out the province, and through the B.C. Chamber of Com-merce, to reach prov-incial politicians on a variety of issues.

One example is the Ministry of the Environment, where Chambers have con-nected with the Min-ister to request a review of the amend-ed recycling legisla-tion.

This legislation will require all small businesses who print advertising materials (such as a brochure) that is directed at consumers to regis-ter and pay fees for recycling.

Mult i -materials B.C., the administra-tor of the recycling

program has now agreed to establish a small business policy and has imple-mented an interim threshold for partici-pation.

Another example is the phase out of the school tax credit for light industry.

This affects Class 5 Light Industry prop-erties – we have 41 in Summerland.

One of these busi-nesses has estimat-ed that it will cost them thousands in increased property taxes each year.

Again, chambers are getting involved to seek answers from the appropriate departments.

If you’re a busi-ness owner reading this, you may be thinking you haven’t

heard of any of these issues.

Sometimes these new programs, rules and fees aren’t wide-ly publicized.

As well, you’re understandably very busy running your business.

That’s why the chamber is here – to ask the questions when you don’t have time to. It’s part of our job.

There’s a new opportunity to have our voices heard early in October and we’d appreciate your input.

The chamber has been asked to present to the provincial standing committee on finance and gov-ernment services.

We will bring for-ward our members’

priorities and finan-cial concerns for the next provincial budget.

Last time consul-tations occurred the message was ‘bal-anced budgets’. What is the message this time?

Please connect with us to share your thoughts.

We always appre-ciate your feedback. Please contact me [email protected] or Christine Petkau at [email protected].

The early years

Early logging operationWhen you think of logging trucks today, this isn’t exactly what comes to mind. This photo of Ted Logie was taken around 1930 when forestry practices were simple, there was no apparent shortage of trees and the biggest threat to our forests was human caused fires. However, the Canadian Forestry Association, formed in 1900, was already looking after our precious resource. This year, National Forest Week (Sept. 22 to 28) is highlighting “The Greenest Workforce”—the professionals and practitioners who work in and manage our forests.

Updated drama and band rooms, gym floor work done over the summer

Schools in Summerland underwent some mainten-ance projects over the sum-mer.

Summerland trustee Linda Van Alphen said projects were completed at all four of Summerland’s schools.

At Summerland Middle School, stairs were added in the drama and band rooms.

Summerland Secondary School now has a refinished gym floor and new counter tops in the foods room.

At Giant’s Head Elemen-tary School, new electrical

service ducting, fibre duct-ing and, light standards and water line service were added. The parking lot and curbs also underwent reno-vation work.

Trout Creek Elementary School saw the addition of 14 double lockers.

Problems with the gym floor had been identified in spring, when a high school student circulated a petition asking for a better facility.

“Apparently it was wear-ing very thin,” Van Alphen

said.A gym and multipurpose

room addition at Summer-land Secondary School is at the top of the school board’s priorities in its five-year cap-ital plan.

The school board has requested $222,217 for the design phase next year and $12,754,607 for the addition in the following year.

The existing gym is one of the oldest high school gym-nasiums in the province, Van Alphen said.

A Summerland-based anti-bullying organization will benefit from a Telus campaign over the fall and winter.

During the six-month campaign, which began Aug. 7, Telus will contrib-ute $25 on behalf of every customer who signs up for Optik TV in Summerland to support Stop a Bully, an online initia-tive which allows anonymous reporting of bullying incidents.

“Donating $25 to Stop a Bully’s import-ant work on behalf of very new Optik TV customer in Sum-merland is our way of saying thank you for your business, locally,” said Steve Jenkins, Telus gen-eral manager for the Southern Interior.

“Bullying is a ser-ious issue and we commend each and

every Stop a Bully volunteer and partici-pant for their dedica-tion to making Sum-merland a more wel-coming community.”

The initiative was started several years ago by Trevor Knowl-ton, a teacher at Sum-merland Secondary School.

Since it was developed in 2009, it has grown to include schools across Can-ada.

“We are very happy to have the support of Telus in our national anti-bullying initiatives,” Knowlton said. “This

gift will make a sig-nificant difference in our ability to work towards a bully-free community, some-thing all of Sum-merland will benefit from.”

Earlier this year, Telus announced a $3 million invest-ment in Summerland to increase Internet speeds and to bring Optik TV to the com-munity.

During the cam-paign, Telus hopes to raise $20,000 for Stop a Bully.

The campaign con-tinues until Feb. 6, 2014.

Q: I have dentures and really don’t like them. Is there any way I can just get teeth that I don’t have to take out at night? Anonymous

A: Yes. Dental implants are titanium anchors that are placed in your bone. Once healed, they can anchor whatever type of teeth you choose. There are three basic ways to anchor your teeth: 1. Teeth cemented on implants; 2. Teeth screwed into the implants; 3. Dentures (without a cover on the roof of your mouth) supported by an implant bar that is fixed in place but can be removed by you to clean.

Your dentist can help you with deciding which option is best for you. It is important for it to look good and that often depends on how much bone you have (usually the longer you have been without your teeth, the less bone you have). If your bone has receded, a denture will help provide support for your lips which can make you look younger. If you like the look of the denture but don’t want it to come out at all, it can be fixed right onto the implants. If you have lots of bone, porcelain teeth cemented on implants can look very natural.

With anything fixed in place, hygiene (or keeping it clean) can present a real challenge. Water piks, rinses, and a good visit with your hygienist are very helpful in maintaining healthy gums.

We’re here to help in any way we can. Feel free to call, stop by, or send us an e-mail message. We are always accepting new patients and I’d be happy to answer your question in the next article (anonymously if desired). Have a great week!

New milestone for local charity working in Africa

Mercy Tech Mission, a non-profit group start-ed by Summerland resi-dent Rick Cogbill, has been granted charitable status by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

“It’s a really positive step forward,” says Cog-bill, who first began taking teams to Africa in 2011.

The goal of Mercy Tech Mission (MTM) is to com-bat poverty in develop-ing countries by teaching marketable skills to local people.

Being a registered char-ity means Mercy Tech

can offer tax-deductible receipts to donors who support their work.

“Skills training is some-thing we take for granted here in Canada,” explains Cogbill. “But in develop-ing countries, such train-ing is rare.”

In Mozambique, where Mercy Tech Mission is working, 80 per cent of the population lives in rural areas which are very poor.

“Lack of training means no jobs, and that perpetu-ates the cycle of poverty.”

A licensed automotive technician himself, Cogbill teaches mechanics dur-ing his trips, but his team members have included carpenters, wood turners, electricians, and welders.

“With MTM, we don’t go to fix a vehicle or build a building; we go to show someone else how to fix and build so that the work continues long after we’re gone.”

Mercy Tech’s motto is “Changing lives, one skill at a time” and their next trip is February 2014.

The six-week agenda will include training time as well as finishing off a maintenance shop they began building two years ago.

“In the beginning, we were fixing vehicles in the dirt; this time we’ll have an actual shop to work in.” MTM is also raising funds to supply basic hand tools for their students.

Local support for Mercy Tech Mission is growing. On Sept. 25, Mercy Tech will take part in a Con-tractor’s BBQ hosted by Summerland Timber Mart between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Timber Mart owner Ken Sewell has offered to donate a percentage of the day’s tool sales to help fund MTM’s February trip.

“I think it’s great what Mercy Tech is doing,” says Sewell. “We’re excited to give our contract custom-ers an opportunity to give something back in their field of trade on a global scale.”

More information about Mercy Tech Mission is available at www.mer-cytechmission.com.

It’s a good thing doctors aren’t always right, as Penticton resident Grant Bogyo can attest.

In October 1983, the then-28-year-old Bogyo went to his doctor to seek treat-ment for his swollen feet.

Having been diag-nosed with juvenile diabetes at the age of 11, he knew his failing kidneys were likely to blame, but he was completely unprepared for the doctor’s prognosis.

“He just said: ‘You’re diabetic. Dia-betics don’t do well with transplants. You’re going to have to go on dialysis and you’re going to die,” Bogyo recalled. “It was last thing on a Friday afternoon. His bedside manner sucked.”

After receiving a second opinion, Bogyo flew to Halifax where he received a kidney from his sis-ter, Valerie, and car-ried on with his life.

“That’s a big deal. The average trans-

plant, they say, lasts 10 years, but there are a few people like Grant who’ve kept them for a lifetime, and so that’s a really special match,” said Teresa Atkinson, who’s organizing the Penticton Kidney Walk on Sunday.The sixth annual event seeks to raise funds to support the Kidney Foundation of Can-ada’s research into kidney disease and increase awareness about the importance of organ donations.

Bogyo will be the guest of honour.

About 300 people participated last year, and organizers are hoping for up to 500 this year. In addition to the 2.5-kilometre walk, there will also be five- and 10-km runs, plus a separate race for professionals.

Registration opens at 9 a.m. at Riverside Village and events begin at 10 a.m. There will also be a silent auction, barbecue, music and kids’ activ-ities.

Atkinson, who undergoes nocturnal

dialysis six nights a week to deal with her chronic kidney dis-ease, hopes Bogyo’s story will help people understand the importance of being a registered organ donor.

“If you were to die tomorrow, would you want to help other people live?” she said.

“And if you do, then you need to register, because it’s not fair to leave that decision in your family’s hands when they’re in crisis.”

Bogyo, who works as a clinical psycholo-gist, is eager to help spread the word.

“If I had not received that organ, my wife of 38 years would have been a wife of eight years, I wouldn’t have been able to raise three adopted children, I wouldn’t have gone on and got a doctor-ate,” he said.

“I feel like I owe it to give back. It’s made me have a life, and part of my responsibility is to use it wisely.”

Kidney walkers lace up for fundraiser

Cultural conversationDon Gayton, standing at left, outlines some of the suggestions which were made during the Conversation Cafe on Thursday evening. The event, organized by the Community Cultural Development Committee, was to discuss culture within the community. Around 50 people participated. Members of the committee are now analyzing and compiling the results of the meeting. The information is expected later this month.

Doctor’s ordersGrant Bogyo laces up his runners in preparation for this Sunday’s Pentic-ton Kidney Walk fundraiser. Registration for the annual event takes place at 9 a.m. followed by the walk and runs which begin at 10 a.m. from the start point at Riverside Village.

Gord Barnum has a look at “Betty,” a 1960 NSU Prinz II manufactured in Germany and restored by Dugie McLean at Zeebs Performance and Restoration in Calgary, using the engine and parts from a Smart Car. She won Best in Class and Cash Cup at the World of Wheels Calgary 2013. Bernard and Betty Butler took time out for a dance during the car show. They danced to the sound of Flashback, a Penticton band performing at the show.

The Friends of Summerland Ornamental Gardens society is hosting an Autumn Gar-den Tour on Sept. 28 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“Spring gardening is very easy to do, it is nature’s calling for an explosion of flowers. In the Fall you have to be do more planning and instead of lots of flowers you get textures, foilages of colour,” said Eva Antonijevic, community programs director for the Friends of Summerland Ornamental Gardens.

The tour promises something for everyone, from avid gardeners to casual park strollers.

“This is the first time an autumn tour has been held in the Okanagan and we are starting to get quite a bit of interest,” said Antonijevic.

There are nine venues, including seven creative spectacular private gardens and two inspiring public gardens on the tour.

Works of art by Okanagan artists and artisans will be on display at three gardens, while at two gardens gourmet treats and refreshments will be provided by chefs from Créperie OooLaLa and True Grain Bread. Wine tastings are available from Summer-land Bottleneck Drive wineries, Thornhaven Estate and Okanagan Crush Pad.

Each garden on this self-guided tour was chosen for its individual style of landscap-ing, landscape architecture and plant choices, with a special focus on edible, natural and water-wise design.

A few of the other highlights include a pro-fessional nursery manager’s test garden and

playground, spectacular views from a new garden courtyard, an enchanting Southwest-style garden and leafy lush oasis for birds.

Tour participants will be able to see which native plants are the most decorative, see time-tested drought tolerant lawngrasses and dryland landscaping plants, compare differ-ent composting techniques and see methods of growing food crops throughout the year.

Besides this fundraiser, the Friends of Summerland Ornamental Gardens is a great resource.

“We pay two part-time gardeners and host lots of work parties for gardeners in training and volunteers. This is a great community resource to learn about these things. We also reach out to the community and last year hosted 140 school children, who put in 4,500 plants. Teachers told us that children love this because they are infatuated with nature and some have never even seen the root of a plant. We also work with multi-cultural groups visiting the area and want to tour the gardens,” said Antonijevic.

At the Autumn Garden Tour participants will be able to speak and ask questions to Friends of Summerland Gardens members, master gardeners.

All proceeds from the fundraiser will go to the society. Tickets are $20 and available from the Summerland Visitors Centre, DeLong Studio, True Grain Bread, Martin’s Flowers, Art Knapp’s Penticton and West Kelowna, Bylands Garden Centre and Dogwood Nurs-ery.

**** An Essential Film **** Thoughtful **** Poignant **** The third installment in a beloved tale that spans nearly 20 years, Celine and Jesse are enjoying the last days of a vacation in Greece. Long gone are the early days of youthful romanticism discovered in Vienna; or even the regret of time past and the unfulfilled promise of a missed opportunity found again in Paris. This time around, the couple have been together for almost a decade and the friction of daily life shows. Midlife is messier, more painful and far more complicated than cobblestone meanderings could have predicted. Built on the natural flow of interaction, the film engages on a level of insightful intimacy that is, at times, as uncomfortable as overhearing an alcove conversation. Romance maybe rocky for this complex couple, but perhaps it is richer and more beautifully defined as well. This is a film to be cherished as a literary as well as a cinematic achievement.

Series Tickets (4 films): $38 Gallery members & students, $44 Non-members. Pre-purchased Single Tickets: $13 available at the Penticton Art Gallery, 199 Marina Way.

For the third year in a row, mountain bike enthusiasts have a chance to partici-pate in a race that not only tests their skills and endurance, but helps generate money to support humanitarian work in Ethiopia.

The third annual Test of Humanity race takes place in Sum-merland on Sept. 22 with races for begin-ner to expert moun-tain bikers of all ages. Last year, the race raised $34,665 for Canadian Humani-tarian’s Ethiopian projects, as well as collecting food for the Summerland food bank, fulfilling the dual goals set out by the race’s found-ers, Nic and Sheilagh Seaton.

“It’s fantastic. Over the first two years, we raised a total of $75,000 and that con-tributed to the build-ing of a school in a rural village in Ethi-opia,” said Sheilagh Seaton, an instructor at Okanagan College. A documentary about the race and the work being done in Ethi-opia is available at www.testofhumanity.com

The Seatons started working on the race after a trip to Ethi-

opia with a group of Sheilagh’s students.

“Coming back from that course was what inspired us to see if we could do something more to help with the projects Canadian Humani-tarian was doing in Ethiopia,” she said. “Somehow we came up with the idea of a mountain bike race, because at that time, there wasn’t really anything in the fall in the Okanagan for mountain bikers.”

This year, some of the founding mem-bers of Canadian Humanitarian will be at the race, and Sheilagh said cyclist Axel Merckx and his family have already registered to take part.

“And Evan Guthrie is back to defend his title,” said Sheilagh. Guthrie finished first out of 73 riders in the Men’s 16 to 39 age group last year, com-pleting seven laps at an average speed of 18.71 kmh.

Since the race is a fundraiser, the organ-izers have done their best to accommodate as wide a range of competitors as pos-sible, ensuring their is a category for all skill levels.

For 2013, there are five categories, start-ing with the Half-hour Test for ages three to six; the One-hour Test for ages seven to 10 and the Two-hour Test for ages 11 to 15. Rid-ers aged 16 and up have their choice of the one-lap Test Ride

or the full Four-hour Test.

“The Four-hour Test can accommo-date a variety of skill levels because you are doing your own race,” said Sheilagh. “There are people that do six or seven laps, either as indi-viduals or as a (two person) team, but other people are happy to do one lap.”

The race has changed slowly over its three years.

This year they’ve focused on adding more activities for children, to get more kids involved in the race.

“Every year we change it just a little bit based on people’s feedback,” said Sheilagh.

The day gets underway on Sunday with the first pre-race meetings at 8:30 a.m., leading up to the start of the start of the last event, the Four-hour Test, which starts at 11 a.m.

A full race sched-ule, along with course information is avail-able online at www.testofhumanity.com.

All financial pro-ceeds from the race support the Canadian Humanitarian Asso-ciation (canadianhu-

manitarian.com) and each registered par-ticipant is asked to bring a small bag of nonperishable food items, which will be donated to the South Okanagan Food Bank.

“Whatever they bring, we just ask them to make a con-tribution as part of their registration. We don’t want to ignore the fact that we also have local require-ments or people in need,” said Sheilagh. “It is amazing to see how many people are interested in doing good in the world.”

Test of Humanity rolls in this weekend

Mountain challengeBike enthusiasts will have their skills and endurance tested this weekend in the Test of Humanity.

Steam open season with two wins on the road

Brett Huber back-stopped the Steam to two big road wins on the opening weekend of the 2013/14 Koote-nay International Junior Hockey League season.

Huber faced 62 shots and allowed just one powerplay goal in six periods of play.

On Friday even-ing the Steam were in Osoyoos, where they demoralized their arch-rivals 4-0 in front of their home crowd.

Scoring for the Steam were rookies Aaron Durant, Reid Brown and Shane Bennett

while the wylie veteran Olli Dickson added his first of the season.

On Saturday they journeyed to Revel-stoke and hammered the Grizzlies by a 6-1 score.

The home town Griz-

zlies came out hard and physical but were no match for the fast, disci-plined visitors.

Kazakhstan hockey in Summerlandby Emanuel

Sequeira

The Okanagan Hockey Academy female prep team will take on Kazakhstan’s national women’s squad.

The first game between the teams is scheduled for Sept. 26 at 4:30 p.m. in the South Okanagan Events Centre and Sept. 28 in Summer-land at 1:15 p.m.

“I think it’s going to be a pretty neat experience for all of our girls,” said OHA coach Rebecca Rus-sell. “I don’t know how strong they are going to be this year. It’s still pretty neat when you get to play a national team from a different country like Kazakhstan. It’s going to be fun.”

The big thing for the OHA is they are playing a home game. They don’t play a lot in the SOEC’s OHA Training Cen-tre during the Junior Women’s Hockey League season. In the JWHL, the OHA is

in the Major Junior North division with teams such as Notre Dame (Wilcox,SK), Halmoral Hall School (Winnipeg), Cal-gary’s Edge School, Warner Hockey School in Warner and Vancouver’s Pacific Steelers. The Major Junior South division features teams in Bos-ton, Colorado, Min-nesota, New York, Vermont and Wash-ington, D.C. They went to Stoney Creek, Ont. for a tournament and went 3-1-2.

“To be able to host Kazakhstan in our rink, it’s extra games

at home,” said Rus-sell, who also coaches Team B.C.’s female under-18 team. “Kind of neat for our girls. We didn’t have a whole lot of games coming up before we head to Boston for a JWHL weekend. These will be great games for us to hone in on our system.”

“It’s just a fantastic opportunity for these Kazakhstan play-ers to learn what it is that we do, right,” said Nancy Wil-son, the first female inducted into the B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame last July and is Kaz-

akhstan’s mentorship coach. “Maybe mimic or adopt some of the things that we do just in terms of prep-aration, training and skill development. It’s a great oppor-tunity for coaches as well.”

Wilson, who coached Canada’s under-22 women’s team to gold in the Air Canada Cup in 2007, said the Kaz-akhstan team, which ranges in age from 17 to 35, is growing their game at the grass-roots. They qualified for the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002 and finished eighth. Since then, they have lost some of their posi-tioning in the world rankings (now 14th) due to players retir-ing. Kazakhstan still has a chance to qualify for the Sochi Olympics depending on their play in quali-fication tournaments. Wilson said the sports federation in Kazakhstan is doing

a good job of trying to get it into schools and identifies hockey as a sport good for young girls.

The OHA is able to play Kazakhstan as the connection was made between Wilson and Russell, who will coach Team B.C. under-18 team against Kazakhstan this week at UBC. Kazakhstan is part of the Mentor Ambas-sador Program that will end following the Sochi Olympics. It started during the Vancouver Olympics.

“What it means is that players and coaches from the top ranked teams, Can-ada, United States, Finland and Sweden, have donated their time to help those teams around the world that are ranked a little bit lower,” said Wilson, adding that it’s a great initiative. “It’s been a great experience.”

The two games are free to attend.

Outdoor basketball court improved

The outdoor basketball court at Summerland Mid-dle School has been improved as a result of a project between the Okanagan Skaha School District and the municipality.

Dale MacDonald, director of parks and recreation for the municipality, said the improvements came after a request from Abhishek Lekhi, a high school basket-ball player.Lekhi said the outdoor court did not have the neces-sary lines marked and was not well illuminated for even-ing play.

MacDonald said the work was done in partnership with the school district. Hoops and nets for outdoor play were purchased and lines were paint-ed on the court. The outdoor court was used for a three-on-three basketball tour-nament on the week-end. The tournament was organized by Lekhi to raise money for basketball facili-ties in summer and to boost the popularity of the game. It was sponsored by Basket-ball B.C.

Street ballAbhishek Lekhi organized a three-on-three basketball tournament that was held at the Summerland Middle School outdoor basketball court. Six teams from the South Okanagan registered to play in the tournament. Sponsors for the event included Basketball B.C., Nesters Market, Summerland Credit Union and Sandhu Fruit Farms. After all costs, any money left over will go towards resurfa-cing the court. Lekhi has been an advocate for the sport, lobbying the School District and the City of Summerland for upgrades to the court. As a result new lines, rims and nets have been installed. He is very pleased with the response from the community and with the turnout for the tournament. Pictured here are two Summerland teams competing against each other, the Basket Brawlers and the Deep Throwers.

Outdoor court nets upgrade

Sturling, a varia-tion of curling with sticks, will resume this fall at the Sum-merland Curling Club.

The sport allows past and future curl-ers with bad knees, bad backs or advan-cing years to con-tinue curling.

Using a stick to push the rocks, the curlers are able to remain stand-ing throughout the game.

Sturling teams have two players, with one skipping and the other throw-ing six rocks.

Roles are reversed every second end.

The game is six ends and sweeping is not permitted.

Registration for the coming season is on Thursday, Sept. 19 from 6 to 9 p.m.

Beginners may try out the concept on Friday, Oct. 12 from 6 to 9 p.m.

Practice sessions are Oct. 13 and 14 from 1 to 4 p.m. and leagues begin Fri-day, Oct. 18 at 9:15 p.m.

S u m m e r l a n d ’ s third annual stick bonspiel will be held on Dec. 7.

Stick curling season resumes this fall

Schmidt selected as head coach

A skater who was a student in the Sum-merland Skating Club has returned to head the coaching responsibilities this year.

Shirley Schmidt was selected as the head coach to replace Dale Wood, who retired from the role in spring.

“It’s nice to come back to this rink again,” Schmidt said.

For the coming year, she hopes to attract more skaters into all levels of the skating program.

For younger skat-ers, the Can Skate program teaches them how to skate.

For boys in hock-ey, a power skating class provides them with the skills they need to improve in their sport.

“I’m hoping to grow that program with the club,” she said. “They’ll be bet-ter all-around skat-ers.”

She added that she would like to offer an adult power skat-ing program in the future.

The figure skating instruction will con-tinue.

Schmidt said clubs throughout the South Okanagan are small-er than in the past. She urges skaters to join the program for many benefits.

In addition to the fitness benefits, she said the participants learn to focus on their goals.

“There’s great discipline involved,” she said. “You’ve got to be very dedicat-ed.”

Those who have that level of dedica-tion can eventually advance to coaching positions and tour-ing with travelling ice shows.

For this year, the star skating program for figure skaters has already started. the Can Skate program and the power skat-ing program will begin in early Octo-ber at the Summer-land Arena.

Former Skating Club member returns to lead all levels

Jeffrey Robert Bertoia

b: November 6, 1976, Summerland BC d: September 7, 2013, Squamish BC

Are not the mountains, waves and skies

A part of me and my soul, As I of them? - Lord Byron

It is with great sadness that we share the loss of our beloved son, brother, uncle, friend, and all around amazing person, Jeff Bertoia. He is survived by his loving parents, Robert and Carole (Marsh) Bertoia, sister Kristine (Brent), nieces Lauren and Amy, extended family, and his hundreds of friends who were truly his family.

Jefe lived his life to the fullest, and made the most of every single minute. He achieved and experienced more in his 36 years here than many of us will in a lifetime. He died in a paragliding accident in Squamish, doing what he loved. We thank the Squamish Search and Rescue Crew for their dedication and service, and we ask that donations be made to them in lieu of fl owers.

A memorial service will be held in Summerland at the Harold Simpson Memorial Centre on Saturday,

September 21 at 1pm.Cremation has already taken place.

Arthur (Mac) McCorduckApril 6, 1926 - Aug 4, 2013

Mac was born in Liverpool, England. He married Sylvia Smith and they had one son, Peter. In 1963 he and his family immigrated to Canada, where he settled in Vancouver, and went to work in the forest products industry. He retired and moved to Summerland, B.C., where he lived until the angels peacefully brought him to Sylvia’s arms. He is survived by son, Peter, granddaughter, Andrea McCorduck, and three lovely great grandchildren, all of Vancouver. He is missed by his friends at the Summerland Legion and local coffee shops.

Summerland - just one of the many festivals that used to be held in what was once called The Towne of Festivals.

In addition to “obvious” examples of cultural assets in our community (Centre Stage, the Art Gallery, Library, Street Banners, the Bear sculpture) many table groups mentioned the “small-town” atmos-phere, the tradition

of volunteerism (although a number of people mentioned that it was getting increasingly difficult to find volunteers) that is expressed in so many ways from Meals on Wheels to all the other projects by service clubs and other organizations.

o o oIf you know of

an event you feel should be included in the Arts Palette or

on the Arts Coun-cil’s online calendar, please email [email protected] or call 250-404-3225.

The Arts Palette is written by David Finnis, publicity chair and President of the Summerland Community Arts Council.

Last Thursday even-ing 55 people gathered at the I.O.O.F. Hall for a Conversation Cafe to discuss cultural issues in Summerland.

Conversation Cafes are designed to facili-tate discussion by all participants in a free-flowing type of atmos-phere. And that cer-tainly was the case last Thursday.

There were many responses to the first question: “What does culture mean to you?”

Art as in painting, dance, photos, quilting, traditions of a family, live theatre, and music were just a few of the things mentioned.

People mentioned how they enjoyed see-ing plays at Centre Stage Theatre and movies in Memorial Park.

Someone mentioned they would love to have a Summerland version of the Kitchen Stove Film series and have international films shown here in Summerland.

People also mentioned the impact of loca-tion and geography on our local culture. The beaches, orchards and vineyards. How win-eries are impacting our culture (favourably); especially when music and food was includ-ed.

Food was a recurring theme in several

table discussions. How food is an expression of cultural diversity and identity.

Some mentioned, fondly, The Taste of

Great discussion at Cultural Cafe

Bad CompanyLead singer Paul Rodgers of Bad Co. belts out one of his hits from behind the piano during Saturday night’s rock fest at the South Okanagan Events Centre. The high-energy performance by the four-member band kept the crowd on its feet from beginning to triple-encore end. Rodgers and his wife, Cynthia Kereluk call Summerland home.
