Snow schedule changesTrout Creek streets to receive higher priority

by John Arendt

After heavy snowfall clogged Summerland streets last week, the municipality’s public works department will revisit the way it handles snow removal.

Don Darling, director of engineering and public works for the municipal-

ity, said the existing snow clearing schedule has collector routes and bus routes as priority areas, with secondary roads cleared later.

In the past, Trout Creek has also been given a lower priority for snow removal.

Darling said this is because the area, along the lake, tends to receive less snow and the snow tends to melt faster than in the rest of the com-

munity.However, the recent

snowfall also affected access in Trout Creek.

“This last snow event has opened our eyes,” he said.

By late last week, there was still considerable snow in the Trout Creek area, he said.

Snow removal crews will give a higher pri-ority to the neighbour-hood during future snow events.

“Trout Creek residents had difficulties,” Mayor Peter Waterman said at the municipal council meeting on Monday. “In the future, as snowfalls reach approximately four to six inches, collectors and bus routes will de done as quickly as pos-sible, just like the other areas of town.”

Warmer temperatures later in the week had municipal crews work-ing to remove excess

snow and to inspect catch basins to ensure they are ready for the runoff.

Waterman said the public works crews responded quickly to clear the streets.

“I think staff did an excellent job,” he said.

The municipality has four trucks for snow clearing. The public works department clears snow from 315 lane kilo-metres.

Participants in the junior curling program are pre-paring for upcoming bon-spiels in Penticton, Oliver and Osoyoos.

Dave Gartrell, coach of the junior curling program, said there are 22 youths involved this year, ran-ging from Grade 6 to high

school. Most are Grade 6 and 7 students.

The curlers meet each Wednesday afternoon from 3:30 to 5 p.m.

The junior curling season began in late October and will continue throughout the winter.

Last year, a team of jun-

ior curlers from Summer-land won silver in a bon-spiel in Oliver and gold in a bonspiel in Osoyoos.

Gartrell said the program has been in place for around 10 years.

Two of the youths he coached in the early years of the program are now

accomplished curlers, he said.

In addition to the youth program, Grade 6 students at Summerland Middle School and Grade 9 and 10 students at Summerland Secondary School are also receiving an introduction to the sport.

Staff positions were reduced one year ago

While the members of municipal coun-cil have begun their work on the 2015 budget, further staff cuts are not expected this year.

A year ago, the municipality trimmed six positions from its staff, in an attempt to balance its

books.The cuts meant

three vacant pos-itions were not filled and another three positions were elim-inated.

The cuts were expected to save $487,000 from the 2014 municipal budget and more than $500,000 from the 2015 budget.

Mayor Peter Water-man said the money

s a v e d puts the m u n i c i -pality in much bet-ter finan-cial shape this year.

H e a d d e d that inter-nal changes at the municipality have ensured the work is still proceeding.

The cuts served

to further reduce an already sparse muni-cipal staff. “There was some restructur-ing,” he said. “We are very lean.”

The preliminary budget is $11,487,347 in revenue for the municipality’s gen-eral fund.

This budget was presented to coun-cil in late Decem-ber. The preliminary budget as presented,

calls for no property tax increase and no increase in water or sewer rates.

An electrical rate increase of 3.5 per cent has been calcu-lated, effective April 1, to offset the Fortis B.C. rate increase.

Lorrie Coates, Summerland’s chief financial officer, will lead budget discus-sions on Jan. 21, 26, 28 and Feb. 2.

No job cuts anticipated in preliminary budget

Auditions held for upcoming playThe Summerland

Singers and Players are hosting audi-tions Jan. 16 to 18 for their spring pro-duction.

A Bench in the Sun by American play-

wright Ron Clark explores the rela-tionship of Harold and Burt, longtime friends who live in a retirement home and spend their days on a bench in the garden

bickering. A once famous

actress has just moved in, giving them something new to argue over.

When they learn that the home is about to be sold and they will have to find a new residence, the three join forces to prevent this upset-ting development.

Summerland Sing-ers and Players is seeking three senior actors.

The dapper, nattily dressed Harold who considers himself to be a man about town, Burt, the slop-pily dressed true pes-simist who considers himself a realist and Adrienne, a former actress and an eter-nal optimist who still manages to be a big flirt.

Casting will be held in Summer-land and Pentic-ton with rehearsals beginning the week

of Jan. 26 at 7 p.m. and will be held Tuesdays, Thurs-days, Saturdays as well as Sundays, as needed.

The production will hit the stage in March.

Alleged doctor attacker still in jailby Joe FriesBlack Press

The man accused of attacking a doctor at Penticton Region-al Hospital will stay behind bars for at least three more weeks.

Following an appearance Wed-nesday in provin-cial court in Pentic-ton, Gregory Stanley Nield was ordered to remain in jail

while his new law-yer reportedly awaits the results of a 30-day psychiatric assess-ment.

Nield, 30, was charged with aggra-vated assault follow-ing an alleged Dec. 5 attack on Dr. Rajeev Sheoran during a closed-door inter-view in the psychiat-ric ward at PRH.

Police said Sheoran suffered

a broken jaw and facial injuries during the melee, while the

B.C. Nurses’ Union said the doctor was lucky to have sur-

vived. Nield is back in

court Jan. 28.

Answers sought after surge caused damages

A special meet-ing later this month will provide some answers about a dev-astating power surge in November.

The Nov. 26 power surge destroyed a total of 69 electrical metres in the Trout Creek and Giant’s Head area. In addi-tion, household appli-ances and electronics were destroyed by the surge.

Last week, a public meeting on the surge

was held. Affected residents asked for answers about why the surge had hap-pened and how to ensure another inci-dent will not happen again.

The surge was unusual and no other similar event has been recorded throughout

the history of Sum-merland’s electrical service.

It is believed to have occurred when a high-voltage Fortis B.C. line, carrying 63,000 volts, touched a municipal trans-mission line, carry-ing a much lower voltage. In parts of

the community, the high-voltage Fortis line and the lower voltage municipal service are on the same set of power poles.

Mayor Peter Waterman said questions raised at last week’s meeting will be answered at

a special meeting of council later this month.

In addition, if municipal staff mem-bers have recommen-dations, they will be

brought forward at this time.

The meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 27 at 7 p.m. at Centre Stage Theatre.

Meeting to address power questions

Mail stolenPolice are investigating a rash of mail thefts

within the community.Since mid-December, 14 thefts from com-

munity mailboxes have been reported.Similar thefts of mail have been reported in

other Okanagan communities.At present, police are working with Canada

Post to find a better way to secure the com-munity boxes.

In addition, police urge residents to collect their mail daily.

Anyone noticing suspicious activity around a community mailbox is asked to contact the Summerland RCMP detach-ment.Money found

Shortly before Christmas, money was found on Gartrell Road and turned in at the Sum-merland RCMP detachment.

Police are asking the person whose money was missing to stop at the detachment and prove ownership of the money.

We have all heard that phrase used in the myriad of TV Cop shows that continue to grace our televisions. Well folks, it has never been more true in these technologically advanced times. Everything you write on Twitter or on your Facebook page can and will be used against you in family court proceedings, should you be unfortunate enough to be in that situation. In fact, BBMs, emails, texts, voicemail, chats and all other forms of electronic communication, provided it was intended for the public, can be used as evidence. It can be devastating to your legal position.Family Lawyers are scrambling to advise their clients to be very cautious about what they post and what they say on these sites. Something meant to be funny or silly does not always look that way in the harsh light of a Family Law proceeding. Very serious implications can be drawn from seemingly innocuous postings. The opposing party in your legal proceedings can get a very detailed account of your actions by reading the things you put online.

The rash of mail thefts in Summerland and the rest of the region is dis-turbing.

Since the middle of D e c e m b e r , police have received reports of 14 thefts of mail from com-munity mailboxes in Summerland.

The thefts mean banking infor-mation, credit card statements, government documents and other items sent through the mail may fall into the wrong hands.

Measures are needed to put an end to this disturbing trend.

VICTORIA – My Christmas reading included a fascinat-ing new book called Kenne-wick Man, a study of skeletal remains discovered in 1996 on the bank of the Columbia River in eastern Washington.

He was an ancient hunter buried just south of B.C. almost 9,000 years ago, in the Early Holocene per-iod following the last Ice Age. Among the old-est humans found along the West Coast of North America, he sparked an unprecedented battle by the Smithsonian Institution to examine the skeleton and pub-lish the book late last year.

The most controversial evi-dence came from the skull. It doesn’t match the classic Mongoloid profile of modern aboriginal people, key to the theory that the earliest humans reached North America by land bridge from Siberia to Alaska as glaciers receded.

Smithsonian scientists con-firmed initial reports that Kennewick Man is a closer match with early Polynes-ians, and the Ainu people who remain in Japan today. He lived until about age 40, surviving for years with a stone spear point stuck in his hip.

The authors conclude from chemical analysis that “Kenne-wick Man could not have been a long-time resident of the area where he was found,

but instead lived most of his adult life somewhere along the Northwest and North Pacific coast where marine mammals were readily available.”

This suggests migration by sea, perhaps from a great dis-tance.

The U.S. Army seized the skeleton. The scientists sued and eventually won the right to a brief examination. The court case exposed brutal and illegal actions of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and federal departments to destroy the site and intimidate the scientists.

U.S. law demanded all remains from before European settlement be repatriated for burial by local tribes, without examination.

Umatilla tribe spokesman Armand Minthorn wrote in 1996: “We view this practice as desecration of the body and a violation of our most deeply-held religious beliefs.

“From our oral histories, we know that our people have been part of this land since the beginning of time. We do not believe that our people migrat-ed here from another continent, as the scientists do.”

The head of the Society for American Archaeology tried to get the researchers to drop their lawsuit, fearing it would inter-fere with fragile relationships with area tribes.

The U.S. Justice Department warned the Smithsonian that lead scientist Douglas Owsley and others might be in criminal conflict of interest as federal employees suing the govern-ment. Even the White House

weighed in against them.Meanwhile the skeleton was

mishandled and later stored in substandard conditions at a Seattle museum, where it remains today. Parts of both femurs were lost, and scientists were falsely accused of taking them. They had been removed by tribal representatives and secretly buried.

Kennewick Man was found as the army was in tense nego-tiations with tribes on salmon fishing rights on the Colum-bia, their demand for removal of dams, and the $100 billion cleanup of the Hanford nuclear site.

The scientists finally won their case in 2004, with a rul-ing that the skeleton is so old there isn’t enough evidence to show it is related to the cur-rent tribes. The judge found the army repeatedly misled the court, and assessed the govern-ment $2.4 million in costs.

The U.S. Army still con-trols the skeleton and denies requests for further study. The spear point, for example, could show the location where he was injured.

One final irony. Analysis shows Kennewick Man ate mostly salmon in his later years, around 6300 BCE. These are the salmon runs wiped out by dams built by U.S. Army engineers before the signing of the Columbia River Treaty with B.C.

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

Sarah Cornett-Ching is pre-paring to race in the Daytona 200 event next month.

The race is a prestigious auto racing competition.

At present, she is still rais-ing the money she needs in order to compete in this race.

For more than a decade, Cor-nett-Ching has been racing. She would like to compete at the top level of Nascar in the future.

The Daytona 200 will help as she pursues this goal.

ourpickClearing

the snowThe heavy snowfall last

week left some motorists waiting as municipal crews cleared the streets.

The winter storm dumped 27 centimetres of snow on the community over a two-day period and had municipal crews working long hours to clear the streets.

The municipality’s clearing schedule gives top priority to collector roads, bus routes and possible danger areas. Quiet roads in flat areas are given a lower priority.

In the future, main routes in Trout Creek will also receive a higher snow clear-ing priority.

The change to the snow removal policy for Trout Creek is necessary, since traf-fic patterns have changed in that area over the years.

The increased volume of traffic now justifies a quicker response to snow removal in this area.

At the same time, it is important to remember that not all roads in Summerland can be cleared as quickly as some would prefer.

The municipality is limited by the amount of snow clear-ing equipment and the size of its public works staff.

Furthermore, snowfalls like the one last week are rare in Summerland, occur-ring around once a decade.

The story is the same in other Okanagan communities. It takes time to clean up after an unusually high volume of snow has fallen.

It is possible for Summerland or other com-munities to revisit snow clearing in order to clean up quickly after a winter storm, but this would involve addi-tional equipment and addi-tional staff. The costs of doing this would be borne by the taxpayers.

The wisest approach is to make some compromises — to ensure the community is prepared to handle typical winter conditions, even if this means some inconvenience during the winter weather anomalies.

A beautiful nuisanceEvery now and then Summerland experiences a bigger than average snowfall, great for playing in but extremely inconvenient for getting around. In 1936 it looked like Eric Tait’s car was destined to stay parked until spring, but Eric probably just donned his snowshoes and carried on as usual. Snowshoes, skis, snowmobile, toboggan—whatever your mode of transportation this winter, be careful, watch for the other guy, and keep your snow shovel close at hand.

The early years

Dear Editor:Millions can march

in the streets. Political leaders can declare war on the actions of others. But nothing will change.

Instead, there may

well be a hardening of activities to further inflame the situation.

Ideas are stronger than bullets, for bul-lets attack the body, not the soul.

The long, sad his-

tory of worldwide re l i g i o n - i n s p i re d atrocities proves that the only way people will be able to live together in peace —as we in Canada believe happens in

our multicultural society — is for basic rights for all and respect shown, each to the other.

Fanatics are not reasonable people. They are so sure they

are right they can accept no other view.

Freedom of speech must be tempered with some discre-tion when mocking religious beliefs of others.

Only when people are ready to listen and hear will people recognize any value or validity in differ-ing religions and cus-toms.

Only then can calm

discussion occur and hopefully bring about not necessarily con-version but peaceful understanding and acceptance.

Respect for each other is needed

Studies show smart meter risksDear Editor:I am writing with

regard to Henry Sielmann’s letter on smart meters that appeared in the Sum-merland Review on Jan. 8.

His assertion that science has refuted any adverse health effects from electro-magnetic radiation emitted by wireless devices such as cell phones and smart meters is false.

I’m pleased to read about his Master of Science Degree in

Engineering Physics, and if I have a ques-tion as to how wire-less devices operate, it is to him I would direct my questions. However, with ques-tions to do with the biological reactions from human cells and tissues it is those with PhDs in microbiol-ogy or related fields to whom I choose to listen.

And it is from that field of scientists that we learn that there is much to be cautious about with regard to

wireless technology.A few of the scien-

tists and their agen-cies who continue to publish reports or studies that show harm from wireless devices such as cell phones and smart meters include: the Board of the American Academy of Environ-mental Medicine; the International Agency for Research on Can-cer; Nobel Laureate, Dr. Devra Davies; Dr. Olle Johans-son, department of Neuroscience, the

Karolinska Institute; the Women’s college Hospital, Toronto; Dr. Magda Havas, Trent University; Dr. Anthony Miller, physician-epidemiol-ogist; as well as doz-ens more who pub-lished peer-review scientific studies in the 2012 Bioinitiative report: bioinitiative.org/.

Whether one choos-es to refute the science on potential harm from electromagnetic radiation emitted from wireless devices

is a moot point. Being able to

choose to opt out of having a radiating device on my home is what is at issue.

Just as people can choose whether or not to eat organic foods, or whether or not to eat foods with gluten, it is impera-tive, in a fair and just society, to allow for individual choice with regard to the use of wireless or wired devices.

Kathryn Whitehead,Summerland

Dear Editor:In response to

Hans Karow’s recent letter to the editor, I would assume his concerns about

the dangers of elec-tromagnetic radia-tion are valid if we assume that humans are exposed to lev-els a million times

higher than they are actually exposed to.

In recent years, there has been a very large increase in human longevity.

Would Mr. Karow care to estimate what additional increase in longevity we might expect if we were not exposed

to our current level of electromagnetic radiation?

George BrakeSummerland

Dangers from meters questioned

Dear Editor:We love living in Summerland. Last week there was an older gentleman

stuck in his car on the corner of Solly and Bris-tow Road. Before he could panic there were three gentlemen to help him.

They cleared the car and then pushed it out. Thank you.

Thanks Summerland and always stay the same friendly town we fell in love with 33 years ago.

who helped getting out of the snowbank.

Fundraising effort set up to raise $16,200

by John Arendt

A Summerland racing driver is gear-ing up for the Dayto-na 200 stock car race next month.

“Racing has been my dream and my passion as long as I can remember,” said Sarah Cornett-Ching, 23.

The race will take place on Feb. 14 at the 3.2-kilometre Daytona track in Florida, a track with a long history in auto racing.

“There’s a whole energy to the place,” she said.

Cornett-Ching said she enjoys the com-petition of racing.

“I take my racing seriously and I am a

proven winner on the track. I also have a lot of fun.”

She has been racing s i n c e she was 12 and w o u l d like to race in the top level of

Nascar in the future.

She hopes to achieve this goal within the next four to five years

Nascar, the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, is the largest sanctioning body for stock car racing in the U.S.

The organization sanctions more than

1,500 races at more than 100 tracks in the U.S. and Can-ada.

In 2011, Cornett-Ching raced in the Nascar Canadian Tire Series, repre-senting A and W’s Cruise for a Cure in Vernon.

At that event, she was anticipating a

top 10 finish until she had a blown tire with just 10 laps left. She finished in 14th place.

“My hopes were high to get another opportunity in the series, but the fund-ing never material-ized,” she said.

The race in Feb-ruary is the second

time Cornett-Ching has had the chance to race at the Daytona track.

In 2013, she was given the opportun-ity to race at the track, but could not com-pete because she did not have the neces-sary funding.

To raise money for the event, she spent

the past year work-ing in Saskatchewan and now in Dawson Creek, B.C.

In addition, a donation page has been set up online at gofundme.com/Sara-hatDaytona.

The online fund-raising goal is $16,200, of which $2,505 has been raised.

When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced.

“The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.”

Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheel-in shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.”

Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home.

The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

In addition, awards are given for the best new business, the best young entrepreneur, leadership in sus-tainability, technol-ogy and innovation, and of course, the business of the year

award.Since 1938 an

important award has also been given to a worthy Summerland individual.

Formerly known as the Good Citizen Cup, the award is now known as the Citizen of the Year/Volunteer of the Year Award.

This is a person who has demonstrat-ed exemplary dedi-cation to the people of Summerland and who inspires others by their volunteer commitment to the community.

This year the chamber has intro-duced a new event meant to honour all of the nominees in every category.

The Mayor ’s Award of Excellence continues to be an important acknow-ledgement of com-munity leadership.

This award is given at the may-

or’s discretion to an organization that has made an outstanding contribution to Sum-merland and will also be presented at the gala.

The shakeout of liquefied nat-ural gas proposals for B.C. continues, with ExxonMobil’s large-scale project for Prince Rupert mov-ing ahead and small-er projects changing or withdrawing plans.

ExxonMobil and its Canadian sub-sidiary Imperial Oil have filed a detailed description with B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Office, planning for a city-owned site on Tuck Inlet north of Prince Rupert Harbour.

One of the larger of 18 B.C. proposals, West Coast Canada LNG (WCC LNG) proposes up to five floating barges for LNG loading with onshore support facilities, and an esti-mated capital cost of $15-25 billion.

WCC LNG plans to start construction by 2017 and be in ser-vice by 2024.

WCC LNG sorted through a half dozen sites in the Kitimat and Prince Rupert area, where the larger of B.C.’s 18 current

LNG export propos-als are also claiming sites.

Natural Gas Development Min-ister Rich Coleman says 2015 is when the LNG industry begins to take shape, despite a slump in oil prices and rising competition from U.S. and other gas producers.

“New drill-ing activity in our upstream sector demonstrates invest-ors remain confident in B.C.’s long-term natural gas poten-tial,” Coleman said in a New Year com-mentary released last week. “One of our province’s largest Crown land sales in history occurred near the end of 2014, with industry contributing more than $209 mil-lion for exploration right alone.”

Proponents of Aurora LNG Grassy Point near Prince Rupert withdrew that application to start the year, focusing on another site at Digby Island.

Also withdrawn is the Farrell Creek raw gas process-ing plant north of Hudson’s Hope, a

project taken over by Chinese-owned Progress Energy. Progress is a partner with PETRONAS in Pacific Northwest LNG at Lelu Island near Prince Rupert, with its investment decision postponed

indefinitely late last year amid changing global energy supply and demand.

Woodfibre LNG near Squamish is another small-scale project mov-ing ahead, with its application for

B.C. environmental assessment accepted at the end of 2014.

The public com-ment period closed for another large-scale proposal, the Shell-led LNG Can-ada proposal for Kiti-mat.

What do an ele-phant, a suitcase full of money, the Span-ish Civil War and a centenarian have in common? They all feature in the debut novel by Swedish author Jonas Jonas-son, The 100-Year old Man Who Climbed Out The Window and Disappeared.

If you have never read this quirky and

hilarious book it all starts on the 100th birthday of Allan Karlsson.

Sitting quietly in his room in an old people’s home, he is waiting for the party-he-never-wanted-anyway to begin. The mayor is going to be there. The press is going to be there.

H o w e v e r , Allan does not want to be there and would rather slip out and buy a bottle of vodka. And so he does.

He ends up at the local train station and gets a ticket using all the coins in his pocket.

While there he also acquires a suitcase full of money and hence the wrath of a rather inept motor-cycle gang.

Throw in a hot dog seller and an elephant and the fun begins.

Interspersed with the story of stay-ing one step ahead

of both the motor-cycle gang and the police are snippets of Allan’s past.

Not only has he witnessed some of the most important events of the 20th century, but he has actually played a key role in them.

We learn that Allan helped to make the atom bomb, became friends with Amer-ican presidents, Rus-sian tyrants, and Chinese leaders and ended up on both sides of the Spanish Civil War.

It’s a lighthearted refresher of some of the major events of the last century.

This amusing and easy to read novel is, of course, available at the Summerland Library.

However, next Thursday, Jan. 22 there will be an opportunity to view the film adaptation at the Landmark The-atre in Penticton as part of the Penticton Art Gallery’s Kitchen Stove Film Series.

For more informa-tion contact the Pen-ticton Art Gallery at 199 Marina Way, 250-493-2928, as limited single tickets may be available at the door.

The Arts Palette column is written by David Finnis, publi-city chair and presi-dent of the Sum-merland Community Arts Council, P.O. Box 1217, 9908 Main St., Summerland, B.C. V0H 1Z0.

Novel adapted for screen

by John Arendt

The sounds of clas-sical organ music will resonate from St. John’s Lutheran Church later this month.

Steven Laplante, the musical direc-tor at St. Athanasius Catholic Church in New York City, will perform a variety of classical organ music on a digital pipe organ.

He said the digital organ will allow him to create a wide range of musical sounds.

“The sound can vary quite a bit,” he said.

“You can actually change the sound of the space.”

The organ music will include Ger-man baroque, French symphonic and American classical pieces.

Laplante grew up in Summerland and graduated from Sum-merland Secondary School in 1989.

After graduation, he studied architec-ture at McGill Uni-

versity in Montreal, but soon switched

majors to music.“I quickly discov-

ered that architec-

ture was not creative enough for me,” he recalled.

Since 1990, he has served as a counter-tenor, director of

music and organist at churches in Montreal and New York.

He has been the director of music at St. Athanasius Church in New York since 1996.

“I’m one of the lucky ones,” he said. “I’ve discovered my passion as my work.”

In addition to his classical organ work, Laplante has also been writing music.

His compositions have a more popular country sound and he plans to release mini albums of his work.

The classical organ concert in Sum-merland will be at St. John’s Lutheran Church on Saturday, Jan. 24 at 2 p.m.

In addition, on Friday, Jan. 23 at 11 a.m., he will perform for Grade 3 to 5 stu-dents from Giant’s Head Elementary School, introducing them to the sounds of classical organ music.

Classical organist will perform

Organ musicSteven Laplante, an organist who grew up in Summerland and now lives in New York, will perform at St. John’s Lutheran Church on Jan. 24.

Robertson returns to play for Steamby Emanuel

Sequeira Black Press

Daylan Robertson is going to be able to pull himself away from management books and eat up ice time with the Sum-merland Steam.

A busy schedule at UBC-Okanagan’s management pro-gram didn’t allow Robertson to start his final junior hockey season. Things are different as he will be able to play while attending school.

“It’s exciting,” said Robertson. “I missed playing hockey.”

The former captain and leading scorer for the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League club returned last week-end and made his season debut Satur-day in Chase against the Heat.

Robertson said he was lucky enough that Steam coach

John DePourcq and Gregg Wilson wel-comed him back.

“It should real-ly help us down the stretch,” said DePourcq. “He’s a great leader. Very strong on all ends of the puck. I never have to worry about that.”

The Steam also got this season’s captain, Paulsen Lautard back following a 15-game stint with the BCHL’s Trail Smoke Eaters where he produced two goals and six points. It’s good news for the Steam who just emerged from a five-game skid that included an overtime loss.

With Robertson, the Steam also get a lead-by-example type player.

“He’s not some-one that is a big vocal person or anything like that,” added DePourcq. “Playoff hockey is all about

being strong on the defensive side of the puck. He’s a real sharp guy when it comes to that.”

There was some concern from DePourcq with Rob-ertson re-entering the mix only because of his condition-ing. However, after watching him in two practices it isn’t a problem. Robert-son, DePourcq said, skated a few times a week with a group of guys, and has always been known for stay-ing in great shape.

“Last night (Tues-day), same thing as when he was on the team the last couple years, his work ethic is unbelievable,” said DePourcq.

“Obviously when you have been off that long it’s going to take a little bit to get used to the physic-al play. I’m sure he is going to catch on quickly.”

DePourcq plans to use Robertson with

Lautard and Tyson Klingspohn, acquired

from the Kimber-ley Dynamiters on Nov. 29 for Braden Saretsky after losing Lautard to the Smoke Eaters.

DePourcq said that trio should give them the best top line in the KIJHL.

“They should have a lot of suc-cess together,” said DePourcq.

“I think it will be fun,” said Robertson.

As for Klingspohn, the two just met.

“He’s a pretty skilled guy, scores lots so it should be fun,” Robertson added.

Despite the Steam’s recent slump, DePourcq said they are doing lot of great things.

He added they are in every single game.

“I love how we’re playing right now,” he said. “We’re start-ing to figure out how we need to play to have success.”

Both returning cap-tains were in the line-up on the weekend when the team trav-elled to Chase, then Saturday at home when they hosted the North Okanagan Knights at the Sum-merland Arena.

The Summerland Steam added two more wins in Junior B hockey action on the weekend.

On Saturday, the Steam travelled to Chase to face the Heat in a 3-2 win.

Riley Pettitt was the sole scorer in the first period with a goal at 8:53. Jar-rett Malchow had the assist.

In the second period, Jack Mills scored for the Steam at 6:11, assisted by Cole Woodliffe and Coleton Fisher.

Chase dominated the third period, scoring at 9:02 and then at 3:16 on a power play.

In overtime, Mills scored at 1:54, assisted by Rylan Sideroff.

On Sunday, the Steam hosted the North Okanagan Knight, playing to a 7-2 win.

Summerland dominated the first period with four unanswered goals.

At 16:27, Nicholas Gnazdowsky scored from Calvin Hadley and Ken-dell Wilson.

Wyatt Gale then scored at 7:48, with assists by Malchow and Pettitt.

Gale scored again at 4:18, once again assisted by Malchow and Pettitt.

With 24 seconds in the period, Day-lan Robertson scored a power play goal, with assists by Adam Jones and Lathan McKinney.

The Steam’s scoring streak continued in the second period as Cole Woodliffe scored an unassisted goal at 18:38.

The first North Okanagan goal came at 16:22.

At 14:01, Jones scored an unassisted goal. Sideroff then scored at 4:58, with assists by Mills and Woodliffe.

A Knights goal finally came at 1:35.The third period was scoreless.

Steam add two weekend wins

Returning to SummerlandDaylan Robertson returned last weekend to play for the Summerland Steam in Junior B hockey action.

After two seasons of Junior B hockey action, Robson Cram-er of Summerland will play at the uni-versity level for the 2015-2016 season.

Cramer, 20, has played 163 games with the Nelson Leafs and Osoyoos Coy-otes in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League.

“He is a very skilled, smooth skat-

ing defenseman who can contribute offen-sively,” said Mark Coletta, head coach of the university team. “It’s a good thing - a very good thing — to be able to solid-ify our team early in the recruiting season with a bona fide top six defenseman.”

So far in the 2014-2015 season, Cramer has 16 goals and 28 assists for the Nelson

Leafs.“I am excited to be

a part of SFU’s out-standing hockey pro-gram and attend one of the top universi-ties in the country,” Cramer said. “I am an offensive defense-man who has solid vision and feel that I show composure in both the offensive and defensive zones. I am a pretty power-ful skater and in the

offensive zone, move effectively to help create scoring oppor-tunities.”

Cramer began playing Junior B hockey in the 2011-2012 season with the Osoyoos Coyotes.

He finished the season with three goals and 34 assists.

The next year, he joined the Wich-ita Falls Wildcats, a Junior A team in

the North American Hockey League.

He returned to the Coyotes after adding two assists in three games.

In January, 2013 he was traded to Nelson.

The men’s hockey team at Simon Fra-ser University was re-established in 2004 and competes in the British Columbia Intercollegiate Hock-ey League.

S u m m e r l a n d ’ s Bantam House Jets won the final game of a weekend tour-nament with a deci-sive 7-2 win against Logan Lake.

The tournament was held in Winfield.

The Jets came out strong.

Tristan Preston, assisted by Rylan Campbell and Nate Picket, scored less than one minute into play. Half way through the first per-iod, Gage McKelvie scored, assisted by Preston and Camp-bell.

Five minutes into the second period the Jets had back to back goals.

Lovelesh Anand scored with Camp-bell’s assistance, and McKelvie followed up at the next puck drop, assisted by Anand and Preston.

The Jets put two more on the score-

board before the period end. Preston scored his second, assisted by Jared Walker.

Campbell scored next, assisted by Pres-ton and Calum Bird.

Logan Lake replied with a goal of their own.

Less than a minute into the third period, Jackson Wagner net-ted the Jets’ seventh goal, assisted by J.J. Henderson and Liam Tiel.

Logan Lake worked hard and managed to score again in the last four minutes of play.

Playing against players one to two years older, goalie Ben Lewis is consist-ently strong between the pipes.

Coaches said despite earlier loss-es, the players con-tinue to improve and inspire with each game.

The Summerland Bantam Rep Jets win-ter classic hockey tournament hosted teams from all around B.C. and Washington.

On Friday’s game the Jets won 8-1 against Kelowna. Ty Sideroff was named MVP.

On Saturday Sum-merland played Ridge Meadows and won 4-2. Steven Sauer was the MVP in that game.

Saturday night’s game was a battle to

the end for a 4-3 win against Coquitlam. The MVP was Remy Houde.

In the Sunday semi-final game the Jets played Vancou-ver to a 2-5 loss. Goal-ie Ben Bowyer was named MVP.

In earlier hockey action, the Bantam Rep Jets braved the snowstorm to play Kelowna at Memorial Arena.

There was no score right up to the ice clean for these evenly

matched teams. The second half

of the game was all action. Kelowna scored the first goal but Houde evened it up unassisted.

Kelowna tried to advance again but Houde got it back on a power play tying it up 2-2 assisted by Steve Sauer and Will Gray.

In the third period Simon Paul scored twice to tip the scales in Summerland’s favour, with assists to

Darren Keilty, Quinn Moberg, and Liam Trewhitt.

Trewhitt scored the final goal with 34

seconds left on the clock. Kelowna pulled their goalie but to no avail for a 5-3 win for the Rep Jets.

Breathe through a straw for 60 seconds. That’s what breathing is like with cystic fibrosis.

No wonder so many people with CF stop breathing

in their early 30s.

Please help us.

This week Can-adians were shocked and saddened to learn of the brutal and senseless kill-ing of twelve French citizens in a terrorist attack.

Of the 12 victims, 10 were journalists and two were police officers.

Freedom of the press and as well as law and order are two cherished aspects of any just and demo-cratic society.

It has been sug-gested that these mur-ders were planned well in advance and in retaliation to satir-ical cartoons involv-ing Islam. In turn a debate has ensued from the decision by some media organ-izations, including the CBC, to refuse to show some of these cartoons to Can-adians, out of concern they may be offensive to some.

Since this inci-dent occurred I have heard a large outpour of various comments and concerns from citizens in Okanag-an-Coquihalla and elsewhere includ-

ing some suggested courses of action for government. I would like to respond to some of the most commonly raised areas of concern.

The subject of the cartoons in question potentially being cen-sored is also a con-cern I share.

Canada, including the CBC, has long had a tradition of sat-ire.

Well known CBC shows such as the Rick Mercer Report, This Hour Has 22 Minutes, the Royal Canadian Air Farce and others have long used satire to poke comedic fun at many aspects of Canadian life, culture and our identity.

It is in my view concerning if our national broadcaster arbitrarily decides that some faiths can be subject to com-edic interpretation, whereas others are exempt or otherwise deemed to be “off limits”.

It can, in effect cre-ate division and runs contrary to many of the values we hold

dear, which leads to the second and larger point.

We must never for-get our successes as a country, that we have built a united and inclusive Canada.

Immigration and integration has long been the founda-tion that has helped to build Canada and while we respect and share great diversity and many different cultures we also have our own unique iden-tity as Canadians.

Those who seek to do us harm threaten our unity.

Division and exclu-sion are the weapons of those radicalized in extremist move-ments, who seek to separate civilized and democratic societies from the values they cherish to instead instil fear and create controls that limit freedom.

Freedom, equality and democracy are the greatest threats to extremists and rad-icalized movements who fear these princi-ples to such an extent they will brutally exe-cute un-armed repor-

ters, aid workers and those who are most vulnerable including women and children.

Canada has always stood against tyranny and to protect the rights and freedoms of those who are most vulnerable.

I believe these principles are part of what it means to be Canadian.

Throughout our history and to this very day we do not turn our back and expect others to make these sacrifices.

There will be those who will disagree with my comments this week as should be expected in any open, free democratic society.

This week more than any other, we should embrace our right to disagree and to debate without fear of reprisal or repercussion.

However let us also never forget that what makes us stronger as a coun-try is our ability to stand together united as Canadians.

The darkest moments of our past have always been when segments of our society have been isolated and exclud-ed from others.

A situation that still exists in some countries to this day and can lead to fur-ther conflict.

We are a nation united and as Can-adians we will stand together in our shared freedoms and democracy while we continue to build a stronger Canada.

I welcome your comments and can be reached at [email protected] or toll free at 1-800-665-8711.

Division and exclusion will not benefit Canada

by Tom FletcherBlack Press

VICTORIA – Inspired by her hol-istic ranching back-ground, Lieutenant Governor Judith Gui-chon has launched a province-wide environmental edu-cation program for high school teachers and youth leaders.

Stewards of the Future offers grants of up to $800 per group to cover field trips, fees for pro-grams and guess speakers, equipment and teacher release time for projects. It is offered for students from Grades 9 to 12, First Nations educa-tors, 4-H, Guide and Scout groups and environment clubs, with an application deadline of Jan. 23 for the spring program.

“Through Stew-ards of the Future, students will have the opportunity to explore issues that

affect the land, water and other natural resources in British Columbia,” Guichon said. “The goal of this program is not to solve the challenges we face, but rather to encourage open discussion and gain a better understand-ing of the issues that

affect our natural sur-roundings.”

Program part-ners, including the education ministry and B.C. Parks, offer support for projects such as research on invasive species lead-ing to mapping and removal.

The Stewards of

the Future toolkit emphasizes hands-on “place-based” experi-ence to appreciate and enhance bio-diversity.

Guichon and her late husband Law-rence Guichon are credited with pion-eering holistic man-agement in the B.C.

cattle industry, emphasizing pres-ervation of natural grassland on their historic Merritt-area ranch.

Holistic manage-ment, developed by African biologist and game ranger Allan Savory, over-turned the long-held belief that overgraz-ing is the result of too many animals. Savory proved that reducing the number of animals doesn’t restore grasslands, which developed in the presence of large herds that were kept closely bunched and moving to avoid predators. Planned grazing mimics that pattern and gives grasslands time to recover.

Details and appli-cation forms for the Stewards of the Future program are available at the Lieu-tenant Governor’s website, www.ltgov.bc.ca.

by Carla McLeodSpecial to the

Review

A recent post on the

Summerland Home-town Memories Face-book page triggered an unprecedented

amount of comments.The post was from

Rick Selinger, found-er of the page.

“I have some sad news for the group today. One of Sum-merland’s best known citizens, passed away in his sleep on New Year’s Eve. Almost every-one simply knew him as Ollie. Godspeed to you Ollie, you will be missed.”

Within minutes the comments start-ing popping up from members of this group. People who live in or once lived in Summerland started sharing their memories of Ollie.

Olaf Norum was born on June 2, 1930 in Lake Isle, Alberta, to a family that had emigrated from Nor-way, according to his close friend and neighbour Steve Haaf.

There are conflict-ing stories as to how Ollie came to be in Summerland, but one thing is certain: he was adopted by the community.

Haaf spoke of how people in the com-munity protected and looked out for Ollie.

“There are a lot of good people here,” he said. “Over the decades Summerland has stepped up and that’s why we can call him Summer-land’s little Ollie.”

“We have many outstanding citizens that we have had to say good-bye to, but this one person has a special place in everyone’s heart…proud of how he was accepted and pro-tected by this com-munity,” Marla Jane Truman wrote in her comment.

Many members of the Hometown Mem-ories group remem-bered Ollie as being a kind soul who always had a smile and a wave for every-one. Several others referred to him as a legend or an icon. People shared mem-ories of seeing him at local restaurants and establishments

around town. Some recalled that Ollie had cut their lawns and others remem-bered working with him.

“I knew him in 1966 when we were labourers for Narod Construction, build-ing the new hospital,” wrote Stan Etter. “He was helping build concrete “toothpicks” for the cribbing of the septic field.

“He worked at the Cornwall Cannery for a while,” Darlene Forsdick wrote.

Pat Manders shared with the group that he had taken Ollie flying in the 1980s.

“What amazed me was his knowledge of the many lakes and streams. He knew the names of most,” he wrote. “I asked him how he knew this and he told me he used to be a logger.”

David Gregory sug-gested the group fund a bench in Norum’s memory. Selinger then petitioned people for donation pledges, to see if enough money could be raised to purchase a memorial bench.

The response from the group was immediate, with $900 pledged in one day.

An account was then set up at g o f u n d m e . c o m /OllieBench for people to donate online. The

Summerland Credit Union will accept donations from those who wished to donate in person.

For those who may have wondered, why a bench, Selinger answered, “Ollie was almost a visible landmark in town. A man of limited abil-ities and means, but a man that always had a smile and friendly words. He became a kind of son of the community. You don’t have to be rich, powerful, intel-ligent or prominent in the usual ways. All you have to do is be friendly and make yourself known and you too can have a positive impact on people’s lives, espe-cially in a small town like Summerland.”

Norum had spent the last few years of his life being cared for and living at the Summerland Seniors Village.

Haaf took care of the arrangements for Norum. “I made sure he is in his saved place up at Canyon View (cemetery),” he said.

A celebration of life and discovery for Norum will be held at the Legion’s Rose-dale Room on Jan. 17, at 1 p.m.

To repeat the words of many members of the Hometown Mem-ories group, “Rest in Peace, Ollie.”
