When Crime Stoppers in the South Okanagan was set up in 1992, the service received around 50 crime tips a year.

Today, that number has increased to between 300 and 400 tips a year.

“Some days we get none; some days we get six,” said Al Sismey, regional Crime Stoppers

coordinator.The South Okanagan

Sismey said tips are received anonymously and the identity of those

giving information is not released.

“Anonymity has always been one of our pillars,” Sismey said. “We will go to the wall to pro-tect a tipster.”

The tips have included information about drug activity, homicides, ser-ious assaults, home inva-sions and human traffick-ing.

Council and finance committee hope to minimize tax increases

by John Arendt

While municipal coun-cil and staff and the

finance committee are pre-paring the 2013 budget, a significant tax increase is not in the works, Mayor Janice Perrino said.

“We’re examining our options,” she said. “Our finance committee has gone to great depth to

look at our needs.”She said there are no big

changes planned for this year’s municipal budget, but the municipality will make sure to have enough money to pay its debts and keep up with infra-structure demands.

For this year, the muni-cipality is working on upgrades on Prairie Val-ley Road.

In recent years, other infrastructure pro-jects have included the upgrade to Rosedale Avenue and Prairie Val-

ley Road, the expansion of Thirsk Dam and the water treatment plant.

Borrowing was required for each of these projects and the muni-cipality is continuing to pay down the debts.

Summerland intake calls now handled from Penticton

by John Arendt

Representat ives with the Ministry of Children and Family Development say the changes to service in the South Okanagan were made in order to improve service in the area.

In December, the ministry announced changes for the region which affect the Sum-merland office.

“All ministry intake calls for Pen-ticton and Summer-land will be handled through the Pentic-ton office, using a sin-gle contact number,” a statement from the

ministry said.

“These c h a n g e s are being made to p r o v i d e m o r e s t r e a m -l i n e d s e r v i c e delivery for the min-istry and will have no impact on staffing levels or the servi-ces provided to the area.”

The changes took effect on Jan. 2.

At the Jan. 14 municipal coun-cil meeting, Debra Hardman, commun-ity services manager in the South Oka-nagan for the min-istry, said the chan-ges were first dis-cussed in 2010, when

the ministry started examining changes to the way it deliv-ered services in the region.

Earlier, Sum-merland cases were handled through the ministry’s Summer-land office.

Hardman said handling calls from one office will eliminate redundancies which had occurred with multiple offices all handling intake work.

But members of municipal council had questions about how the changes will affect service in Sum-merland.

Council members were also concerned about the potential loss of the min-istry’s Summerland office.

“We are in a down-ward trend to elim-inating the ministry

in Summerland,” Coun. Orv Robson said.

“I just don’t want to see that prevalent in this situation.”

Mayor Janice Per-rino also asked why the service could not

be delivered from Summerland.

“With over 11,000 people here, I don’t know why we can’t do this out of our own office,” Perrino said.

Hardman said the changes will be put in place for six months and then evaluated.

“Changes like this are difficult,” she

said.Mayor Janice Per-

rino said the meeting was disappointing, since the ministry will wait six months to review the chan-ges.

“I feel six months

is too long,” she said. She had asked for a review of the changes after three months. Perrino said the changes may make economic sense, but the delivery of services in the area will be affected.

“We’re adding more pressure and more stress to our families,” she said.

“We are in a downward trend to eliminating the ministry in Summerland. I just don’t want to see that prevalent in this situa-tion.”

KidSport Summer-land is thriving and recently received a $1,000 cheque from MLA Bill Barisoff to assist the program.

KidSport Summer-land is a community based sport-funding program established during the Winter Olympics in 2010. KidSport Summer-land is part of both a national and prov-incial branch and the uniqueness of the program is that all funds raised stay in Summerland.

The local Kid-Sport Summerland committee has now assisted more than 75 youth to play sports.

More than 15 organizations and individuals have made donations to the program and more than $10,000 have been donated to children and fam-ilies in Summerland. These donations

allow the children to take part in softball, baseball, soccer, swim club, football and a

variety of local sports. The KidSport Sum-

merland Committee is overseen by a local

committee and all the funds are invested in local youth.

KidSport appli-

cations are always available at the Parks and Recreation offices.

Q I have a tooth in back that I

lost a few years ago, should I fill it in with something or not?

Susan B.

AIt is very common for adults to be missing one or more teeth, you are not alone.

Teeth can be lost due to fracturing, infection, trauma or gum disease. In my experience, these things happen at a very inconvenient time for my patients. Replacing teeth will add more surface to your bite and help you chew better. It can also give you confidence in the way your teeth look and make you feel like smiling again.

There are several ways to replace teeth. We can put something in that doesn’t come out at night, like a dental implant or bridge. Some patients use a removable denture for a short time to help fill the space. Most patients prefer a dental implant since it builds a brand new tooth in the space that feels and looks the most natural and will last the longest. A dental bridge is done by crowning the adjacent teeth and connecting them together for a natural look. A removable denture is similar to a bridge, but is both less functional and less expensive.

Ultimately the decision to replace, and how to replace, a missing tooth is yours. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with your dentist and both of you can come up with a plan that is best for you.

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!

Continued from Page 1During her time as

mayor, Perrino has worked to keep tax increases low.

Last year, taxes rose by 1.5 per cent per cent and in 2011, the increase was one per cent.

“It’s the toughest

part of our job,” Per-rino said. “We hate to go with any sort of a tax increase.”

While municipal council has been slow to raise taxes, Perrino added that the muni-cipality is not look-ing to make substan-tial spending cuts in

order to keep the tax level from increasing.

“It’s not about sav-

ing tax dollars; it’s about good govern-ment,” she said.

The budget will be presented and final-ized later in spring.

VICTORIA – The news was trumpeted with alarm here on Vancouver Island, which along with the Gulf Islands is the heartland of tinfoil-hat oppos-ition to smart meters.

Of the 140,000 power cus-tomers who didn’t have a wireless meter by the end of the year, many have simply refused. Now BC Hydro has sent let-ters informing them “we can no longer delay the installation of a new meter at your home.”

“StopSmartMetersBC” sent out a panicky e-mail advising its resistance movement to brace against “storm trooper tac-tics” from BC Hydro staff, and urging phone and fax attacks on their local MLA office.

“Anger and outrage should be expressed, in a quiet way, so that we don’t sound hysterical, but people are being threatened, police called, etc.,” the anonym-ous e-mail helpfully suggests.

BC Hydro has also confirmed what I told you a few months ago. Those bogus locks, chicken wire cages and important-look-ing signs, which were sold like modern-day snake oil, have no legal effect to prevent the util-ity from working on its own equipment. These obstacles to inspection have been and con-tinue to be removed, along with dangerous grow-op bypasses and fiddled mechanical meters.

The technical arguments against wireless meters have been demolished. False news

reports and website claims still circulate, but no fires have been attributed to the installation of 1.7 million wireless meters in B.C. About 1,200 faulty meter bases have also been replaced at BC Hydro’s expense, and as crude power-theft bypasses have been removed, the inci-dence of electrical fires, already rare, has dropped substantially.

Another popular myth is increased electricity bills. Yes, if your bypass is removed, your bill will go up. Like gas pumps,

power meters are required by federal law to be accurate.

A Toronto-based expert group called Bad Science Watch has  tackled  claims of “electro-magnetic hypersensitivity” head-on. I highly recommend their 10-page report and quali-fications at  www.badscience-watch.ca.

In plain language, with refer-ences to the best available sci-entific studies, it describes the double-blind tests that prove people who claim this sensi-tivity are not actually able to detect when they are or are not being exposed to wireless signals. No X-Men candidates have come forward.

It also exposes key “activists” in Canada. The most prominent is Dr. Magda Havas, an asso-ciate professor at Trent Uni-versity who has “developed a career denouncing the safety of

low-frequency electromagnetic radiation.” She gives speech-es, promotes her book and has worked with one David Stetzer to promote an “EMF filter” to sell to those who insist they feel what science shows they don’t.

Havas has appeared on TV “news” shows with “activist-entrepreneur” Kevin Byrne. His website appears to be a hub of cell tower and smart meter scare reports, but it’s interspersed with product pitches for EMF Solu-tions Canada, of which Byrne is

coincidentally president.Then there’s “entrepre-

neur-activist” Rob Metzinger, president of something called Safe Living Technologies Inc. He doesn’t run a lurid scare website, but he’s appeared on CBC and CTV as some sort of authority. (The main hazard emanating from TVs these days is bad information.)

As the election approaches, a fight is gearing up between the NDP and the B.C. Green Party for the ignorant, superstitious and angry vote. The Greens in particular have damaged their credibility in a bid to quiet their own tinfoil-chapeau wing.

There are bozo eruptions ahead. I’ll have more on that in a future column.

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

We are glad to see the num-ber of cases of school vandalism declining, but the problem still costs the school district too much time and money.

In 2012, incidents of school vandal-ism cost the school district more than $28,000.

While it is a small fraction of the total school board budget, it still represents funding which could be used in the class-rooms and for programs which would benefit the students.

Instead, the money had to go to cleaning up the damages resulting from some thoughtless actions.

culls

For Summerland’s Justin Kripps and his bobsleigh team-mates, the past year has had a lot of strong competition.

They have faced some of the top bob-sleigh athletes in the world.

In the combined two- and four-man rankings, the team is in 15th place worldwide.

The world championships for bobsleigh will be held over the next two weekends in St. Moritz.

ourpickA study

of taxesMunicipal council, staff

and the municipality’s finance committee are working to draft the budget for 2013.

The budget, at more than $10 million, covers the costs of keeping the municipality running.

As costs increase, the budget figures must also increase in order to maintain the same level of services as in the past.

While tax increases are never pleasant, the increases are needed in order to main-tain the level of service pro-vided by the municipality.

Last year, taxes rose by 1.5 per cent and the year before, the increase was one per cent.

Those responsible for the budget have an unenviable task before them. The total costs for the municipality are not cheap and the money needed will come from the taxpayers who want to know they are getting the best pos-sible value.

If comments made fol-lowing previous budgets are any indication, there will be some opposition to any tax increase, no matter how small.

In the last municipal survey, half of those who responded wanted the same level of ser-vices or a reduction in order to keep the tax burden the same. Another 10 per cent wanted services cut in order to have a lower tax rate.

The reasons often given for opposition to tax increas-es are that the existing tax burden is already too high or that the budget can be trimmed to cut wasteful spending.

Government budgets, par-ticularly at the municipal level, are scrutinized carefully and the elected representatives know they must answer for every dollar. There is no room to tighten the budget while maintaining the present level of services.

For those who would still argue that the tax burden is already too high, we would ask for clarification.

Which services should be cut and how much should they be cut?

A century of changeGranville Road, or Main Street as we know it, has definitely changed a bit since 1913. It’s interesting to note that while the buildings were few, the power poles were many. Summerland was the first town on Okanagan Lake to have electricity (1905) as well as its own telephone service (1907). Our pioneers were certainly an innovative bunch.

Liberal Party’s message hypocriticalDear Editor,At one time I had respect for

Christie Clark and hoped that she would do well as leader of the party. However, sad to say, the party is spending mil-

lions of tax payers money to tell us how wonderful the Liberal government is and how they are bringing thousands of jobs to B.C.

This is hypocritical as the

people employed in the film industry are losing their jobs because of Liberal Party stub-bornness.

You say that there is not enough money to give the film

industry tax credits but you find money for your future election campaign which is what these P.R. television com-mercials are all about.

You are supposed to use

private money for campaign funds, not ours. How can you in all honesty say you are bring-ing jobs to B.C.?

Tourism logo signifies nothingDear Editor:Re: the new expen-

sive Summerland logo.

What does it say to the average citizen or

tourist? I would guess noth-

ing except a bunch of wavy coloured lines signifying nothing except to those in the

know.“Take your time.”

It must have taken all of five minutes to produce this master-piece and no doubt

has cost the taxpayers many dollars.

Let us hope that our Chamber of Commerce who so diligently urges us to

always shop locally, at least kept this busi-ness in our town. Or did they?

Pathways Addictions Resource Centre (pathwaysaddictions.ca) I would like to publicly thank the Summerland Health-Care Auxillary for the wonderful and very generous donation of $10,000 to help us implement a post-treatment group.  

This group will help our clients continue to make a smooth   tran-sition back into the community once they

have completed their individual counsel-ling.  

Being able to give our clients the extra support they need will mean a great deal to the board as well as our staff and clients.

So, thank you to all the members and vol-unteers of the Sum-merland Health-Care Auxiliary.

Dear Editor: I refused to have a

microwave transmit-ting device unilat-erally imposed upon me and installed any-where on my property.

I challenge B.C. Hydro to disprove the scientific research that is presented and dis-

cussed in the BioInitia-tive 2012 report. The report can be found at bioinitiative.org.

Until such time that you can disprove this research to my satisfaction, I will continue to refuse to have a transmit-ting smart meter any-

where on my prop-erty, and furthermore I will use all means at my disposal to defend my right to do so.

I have taken steps in my personal life to reduce my expos-ure to the radio fre-quencies that will

be emitted by smart meters, including the choice not to use a cell phone, the choice to hardwire my com-puter and the choice to eliminate cord-less phones from my home not to mention others. 

B.C. Hydro and

the government are crossing a line. 

I will consider any attempt to install a smart meter on my property an act of trespass and a viola-tion of my Charter Rights.

The final speech contest in the United Nations Pilgrimage for Youth will be held at the IOOF Hall in Summerland early in February.

The contest, hosted by the Summerland Faith Rebekah Lodge, will be held on Fri-day, Feb. 8 at 7 p.m.

It was established by the Order of Odd Fellows in 1949,

four years after the United Nations was formed.

Annually the U.N. Pilgrimage brings together high school students from around the world to study and learn about the United Nations. 

For young adults interested in world affairs, international relations, economics and/or political sci-

ences this is an oppor-tunity to observe the United Nations in person while exchan-ging views on edu-cation, politics and religion. 

Students tour the United Nations building and listen to behind-the-scenes briefings conducted by specialized United Nations agencies and departments includ-

ing ambassadors, minister counsellors and country repre-sentatives. 

Each student (delegate) will par-ticipate in in-depth discussions with other young people from around the world as well as make new and life-long friends. 

In the years since it was established, more than 43,000 people have partici-pated in the U.N. Pil-grimage. 

The Odd Fel-lows and Rebekahs United Nations Pil-grimage for Youth program has gar-nered growing pub-lic attention in the United States, Can-ada and abroad. 

The National Asso-ciation of Secondary School Principals has placed this program on the advisory List

of National Contests and Activities. 

Tours are con-ducted during the summer and vary from six to 12 days in length. 

Competition is open to all high school students 16 or 17 years of age with a minimum of one year of high school remaining. 

The applications are reviewed by the selection commit-tee for evidence of leadership, char-acter, concern for community welfare, interest in world affairs and general fitness. 

Each applicant is required to write an essay and participate in a local speech con-test.

The competition in Summerland is for all applicants from the Okanagan Valley.

Probate and Estate Administration

When a person passes away one of the first questions that must be answered is: Did the deceased have a valid will? If the answer is yes, then the Executor files an application for Probate. If the deceased did not have a valid will, then the process is called an application for Estate Administration. Both applications are essentially the same in that they list the assets to be dealt with, appoint a person to be in charge of the estate and then determine who receives those assets. In creating a will a person sets out their wishes for the distribution of their estate. Without a will the distribution of an estate is governed by the provisions of the new Wills, Estate and Succession Act. Those provisions are arbitrary.

You don’t have to go through it alone.

In many ways, the grief and pain experi-enced due to separa-tion and divorce is more difficult than the pain of losing a loved one. It’s a con-fusing time when people feel isolated and have lots of ques-tions.

Beginning Feb. 3, DivorceCare will be held Sunday evenings from 5 to 7 p.m. at Summerland Baptist Church for people in the South Okanagan.

These sessions help group members untangle their many emotions and move toward rebuilding their lives.

Each of the 13 DivorceCare sessions

has two distinct ele-ments.

During the first 30 to 40 minutes of the meeting, the DivorceCare group watches a video sem-inar featuring real-life case studies and interviews with top experts on divorce and recovery.

Topics include loneliness, anger, depression, finances, children, new rela-tionships, forgive-ness, and others.

DivorceCare par-ticipants then dis-cuss the topic pre-sented in the video. This is an invaluable time when group members find that they are not alone and that their emo-tions are normal, and when they find hope and direction through the experi-ence and wisdom of others in the group.

Please call 250-494-3313 for more infor-mation or to sign up for this free course.

Anyone who is dealing with the pain of separation or divorce is welcome to attend.

The newly-elected president of the B.C. Fruit Growers Asso-ciation sees good things ahead for the industry.

“I feel pretty posi-tive about the indus-try,” said Jeet Dukhia of Vernon. “I am very optimistic when I see all of the new plant-ings.”

Dukhia, who was acting president, was elected to the top job during the BCFGA’s convention in Pentic-ton Saturday.

Among his prior-ities are to ensure ongoing senior gov-ernment support for the industry, par-ticularly over 1964’s Columbia River Treaty.

“The treaty did lots of damage for the Okanagan Valley,” said Dukhia.

“Washington State used our water and they have 100,000 acres in orchards. We have to get some compensation from the government.”

The BCFGA is also working with other commodity groups and the government to open up new mar-kets for B.C. cherries in China.

Dukhia, who

was vice-president, became interim presi-dent in December after Kirpal Boparai resigned from the top post.

Boparai was kicked out of the Okanagan Tree Fruit Co-opera-tive because he did not conform to con-tract terms. Members attending the co-op’s annual general meet-ing also approved a resolution calling for Boparai to be removed from his BCFGA post.

Despite a year of turmoil, Dukhia doesn’t believe there are concerns or hard feelings among grow-

ers.Attendance at the

BCFGA annual con-vention was almost 50 per cent of its 550 members because of high interest in the election of leaders following a tumul-tuous 2012 for the BCFGA.

Dukhia defeated a former vice-president of the BCFGA, Fred Steele of Kelowna, for the top position.

S u m m e r l a n d grower and executive member Denise Mac-Donald ran for elec-tion against Bupinder Dhaliwal of Oliver for vice-president, but she was defeated

at the ballot box. Former presi-

dent of the orchard-ist organization, Joe Sardinha of Summer-land, who was nom-inated for vice-presi-dent, declined to let his name continue to stand after the presi-dential election.

The BCFGA repre-sents 50 commercial tree fruit growers in BC, located primarily in the interior Oka-nagan-Similkameen-Creston Valleys.

The BCFGA cele-brates its 125th anni-versary as the “Grow-ers’ Parliament” in 2014.

Replant program to get fine-tuningby Black Press

B.C. Agriculture Minister Norm Let-nick has commit-ted to a pair of key changes to his gov-ernment’s fruit tree replant program to help ease growers’ transitions to higher-value crops.

During his address Saturday in Pen-ticton at the annual meeting of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Asso-ciation, Letnick announced he will

remove the like-to-like requirement on producers that com-pels them to replant orchards with the same type of fruit.

“Just like crops need to change, sometimes replant programs need to change,” Letnick said.

“So should apple growers like to divers-ify their orchards by replanting with cherries, they will be able to apply for the program. And so will

other growers inter-ested in replanting with different types of fruit trees.”

That should help build a “stronger, more sustainable tree fruit sector,” he added.

The current $2-million replant program was announced in May and, like others, lasts only as long as the money does, which creates uncertainty and has prompted fruit growers to call for the establishment

of a permanent ver-sion.

Letnick, the MLA for Kelowna-Mission, pledged to work on that too.

“You have my com-mitment… to work as your minister of agri-culture to make this a reality,” he said.

“I’ll be working to come up with a regu-lar, annual, sustain-able, bankable, reli-able replant program so we don’t have to go to the finance min-ister every year for

year-end dollars.”Letnick said min-

istry staff will begin working with the BCFGA next month to develop guidelines to support both chan-ges.

He confirmed after his speech, how-ever, that there is no funding in place for a permanent replant program.

N o n e t h e l e s s , BCFGA acting presi-dent Jeet Dukhia said he was “very pleased” and “grow-ers are very happy” with the minister’s announcement.

Dukhia expects the

current replant pro-gram will hand out about $900,000 this year and the balance the following year. He said a $1.5-million annual commitment to a permanent plan would be ideal.

At that level of funding, the industry “will be pretty com-petitive” in five years, Dukhia said, adding old orchards with 600 trees per acre could be replanted with newer varieties at a density of 3,000 trees per acre.

He also noted that although some grow-ers are having trouble

getting their hands on new trees to plant, a permanent pro-gram would provide nurseries with the assurance they need to ensure a stable supply.

Dukhia added that even with gov-ernment assistance, replanting still costs growers plenty.

“A grower spends $30,000 to replant an acre. Out of $30,000, he’s getting a $7,000 grant. So you have to appreciate the grower ’s spend-ing the majority of the money from his pocket.”Dukhia to head BCFGA

**** Smart **** Thoughtful **** Mesmerizing ****Set in East Germany in the 1980s, Barbara is a taut, intelligent drama about a young physician who is reassigned from a prestigious position in Berlin to a rural hospital after she applies for an immigration visa to the West. In her new post, Barbara resentfully isolates herself from her colleagues and maintains a clandestine relationship with her West German lover who continues to plan for her defection. Her devotion to her profession and her genuine concern for a young, pregnant patient soon draws the attention of the chief physician, Andre, and the two begin to closely bond. Subtle and compelling, this incisive character study delicately weaves attraction and distrust into a profoundly personal and socially complex fabric. (PG - subtitled)

Jonsson and Good to perform in Indiaby John Arendt

For the next two months, Summerland song and hymn duo Linnea Good and David Jonsson will take their music to India.

While Good, her husband David Jons-son, and their three children have trav-elled and performed i n t e r n a t i o n a l l y before, she said this trip will be a unique

experience for them.“The leap in cul-

tures is huge,” she said. “In some ways, we are all out of our depth on this one. But both music and faith turn strangers into family. This is our favourite way

to travel — meeting people and places while we sing.”

The Jonsson-Goods have been invited to offer their music at the Christian Medical College Hospitals of Ludhiana, Punjab, in the north and in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, South India. They will lead music and worship and partici-pate in Bible studies, biblical storytelling, staff retreats with

m u s i c , s o n g -w r i t i n g w o r k -s h o p s and per-form for staff and patients.

T h e y also hope to sing at s c h o o l s in both regions,

bringing Canadian folk songs to share.

The hospitals were founded a century ago to provide health care for all who need it, regardless of means. They treat thousands of outpa-

tients each day.“It’s pretty excit-

ing,” Jonsson said. “Exciting and scary

at the same time.”For Good, the

preparation for the visit has been one of getting past stereo-types.

“These are world-class hospitals,” she said. “I was delight-ed to have an Indian bishop come up to me at a recent confer-ence and tell me that our R&B song ‘Get on the Jesus Bus!’ would be a big hit in Vellore. Suddenly, I realized our music is going to fit.”

Good said the experience of travel is also important.

“To me, there’s a spiritual practice in travelling. It means you enter a state of radical trust,” she said. “A lot of incred-ible coincidences happen when you’re travelling, and you pay attention to that.”

Their three chil-dren, Patrick, Nicole and Isaac will partici-pate as instrumen-talists and technical support.

“I just want to make friends and listen to the soothing Indian music,” said Isaac, 10.

Good has been

writing and per-forming music for more than three decades. Her latest CDs, Swimmin’ Like a Bird and   Momentary Saints, were nomin-ated children’s and gospel albums of the year by a variety of Canadian music asso-ciations.

She is inviting people to contribute to the cost of their flights. There is a donation link on her website at linneagood.com. Donations may also be dropped off at Summerland United Church.

Leaving for IndiaDavid Jonsson and Linnea Good and their children Patrick, 16, Nicole, 14 and Isaac, 10 will be in India for two months as they perform at hospitals and churches.

“In some ways, we are all out of our depth on this one. But both music and faith turn strangers into family. This is our favourite way to travel — meeting people and places while we sing.”

Close one for SteamS u m m e r l a n d

Steam never quite caught up with the Revelstoke Grizzlies in a game played Jan. 19 at the Revelstoke Forum.

The final score was 4 for Revelstoke and 3 for Summerland. Revelstoke started out with a goal in the first period, which was scoreless for the Steam. Each team scored twice in the second period

and once in the third period.

Scoring for the Steam in the second period were Dylan Lee Mooney with assists from Dylan Burton and Sam Barker, and then Brett Harris with assists from Easton Bodeux and Daylan Robertson. In the third period Josh DaCosta scored with assists from Easton Bodeux and Dylan

Burton.The day before the

Steam played against the Sicamous Eagles at the Sicamous Recreation Centre. Summerland did not

score at all, ending the game 0 to 6.

The Summerland Steam will play at home Feb. 1 against the Sicamous Eagles and Feb. 2 against the Kelowna Chiefs. Both games start at 7:30 p.m. at Summerland Arena. The Steam is currently standing fourth out of five places in the Okanagan-Shuswap Conference: Okanagan Division.

Get activeJoin a Summerland sports team.Team Kripps

at world eventThe bobsleigh team

led by Justin Kripps of Summerland will be racing in the World Championships in St. Moritz, Switzerland, over the next two weekends. His is one of three Canadian sleds to qualify for the championships.

After successful bobsleigh races at Koenigsee, Germany, the previous weekend, Team Kripps and the rest of Team Canada headed off to Igls, Austria. The coaches then decided to send Team Kripps back to Koenigsee to compete in the Europa Cup two-man race there. The Europa Cup circuit is one level down from the World Cup circuit but points still count for overall standings. A win at Europa Cup level is the equivalent of 13th place at World Cup level. Since Team Kripps had missed the Altenberg World Cup event, it was a gamble to have them dash over at 5 a.m. to race in Koenigsee and then be back at Igls for the World Cup race the next day.

It turned out to be a good move. Team Kripps, consisting

of Kripps and Nick Carriere, took the silver medal with a time 3/100ths of a second off the gold. Then Kripps and Sam Giguere placed 11th in Igls. This cemented their place in the upcoming World C h a m p i o n s h i p s , giving them an overall ranking of 12th in the two-man event. Canada #2 is ranked 11th and Canada #1 is ranked second.

The four-man event in Igls was a strange race. All the North American teams had poor results. Even USA #1, the current World and Olympic title holder, placed 18th, unlike its usual placing in the top 10.

USA #2 placed 20th and USA #3 23rd. Team Kripps placed 22nd and Canada #2 placed 24th.

Canada #1 were the only North Americans to place in the top 10 and barely, placing 10th.

Kripps says it is a race they would all forget.

He said he and his teammates don’t know what went wrong, but are just going to focus on the upcoming races.

Going into the Wor ld C h a m p i o n s h i p s Team Kripps has a 21st place ranking in four-man, just behind Canada #2 at 20th. Currently both Canada #2 and #3 are one race short in four-man. However, the combined two- and four-man ranking puts Team Kripps at 15th just behind Canada #2 at 14th. Canada #1 is 5th.

So now it’s full steam ahead to World C h a m p i o n s h i p s which will be held in St. Moritz over the next two weekends.

They will have a format like the Olympic Games where each event has four heats.

The winners are determined by adding times from all four heats together.

Only the top 20 from the first two heats will go to the third heat.

The first and second two-man heats will be on Saturday and the third and fourth on Sunday.

The first and second four-man heats will be on Feb. 2 and the third and fourth on Feb. 3.

At World ChampionshipsJustin Kripps of Summerland and his bobsleigh crew are in the World Championships starting this weekend in St. Moritz, Switzerland.

Hazel Mary Mitchellpassed away peacefully on Dec 17, 2012, at Penticton Regional Hospital. Hazel was born November 17th, 1928 at Leask, Saskatchewan, to Harold and Mae Johnson. Her brother Jerry followed her into the world 13 months later. They grew up in a rugged and spartan frontier environment, but flourished none-the-less through family, friends and a true pioneering spirit. Hazel attended 3 area

schools: Debden, Rabbit Ridge and Makwa.

Harold left the family when Hazel and Jerry were quite young – it was to be a long separation between father and children; however, reconciliation and reunion came 3 years before his passing at age 97 in Courtenay, B.C. After Harold left, Mae met and initially cooked for and was a farm helper to Robert Bathgate (who became known to Hazel’s children as ‘Uncle Bob’). They eventually moved together to Cecil Lake, 15 miles northeast of Fort St. John, where they lived on a farm. By this time, Hazel and Jerry had both moved away from home and were forging their own lives.

In her mid-twenties, Hazel worked for a time as a cook in the tiny community of Dog Creek, west of Williams Lake. There she met Bill Mitchell, who worked on the local airport for the Department of Transport. About a year later, they married in the Fort St. James community hall. Bill’s career took the family to Sandspit, Prince George, Terrace and Penticton.

While in Prince George, Lane was born in 1955, followed by Russell in 1957. A year later, the family moved to Terrace, where in 1960, Murray came into the world. Terrace would prove to be where the Mitchell family would lay down its deepest roots. Hazel worked as a homemaker until the boys were all of school age and then she was employed at Thornhill Elementary school as the school secretary, a job that she very much enjoyed.

Upon retirement, Bill and Hazel moved and settled in Chilliwack in 1978. By this time, the boys had moved out to lead their own lives, though the family would come together numerous times over the years, the last only hours before Hazel’s passing. Chilliwack would prove to be their home of longest duration and their life in this community was full with family, friends, leisure and travel. For much of their time in Chilliwack, Hazel’s brother Jerry and his wife, Ollie, lived near them and were frequent companions.

Over the years, oldest son Lane met and married Doris; they raised two boys, now with families of their own. Russell met and married Wendy; they are raising a beautiful daughter. Murray has chosen the bachelor’s life.

Hazel and Bill moved to Summerland in 2009 to be near family. This was a great move, as it afforded them support and care when it was most needed. Hazel was re-introduced to her faith and accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Saviour.

Mom has left this earth and her soul is now with God, but her spirit will always remain with us. No husband could have had a better wife; no children a better mother. Her simple, unassuming and quiet ways were appreciated by all who knew her and those closest to her were amazed by her indomitable spirit in the face of difficulties and recent struggles with her health. She leaves a diverse legacy of family to live by her example: her husband of 58 years, Bill; 3 sons Lane (Doris) of Summerland; Russell (Wendy) of Burnaby; and Murray of Abbotsford; 2 grandsons Jared, (Tiffany) and Ryan (Krista); a grand-daughter (Kaylee); 5 great-grandchildren (Austin, Nikaela, Shyla, Mila and Jovie); brother Jerry (Ollie) Johnson of Princeton.

Our family would like to thank the staff at Summerland Seniors Village for their kindness and care during the past 3 years. A memorial service will be held there (at the Seniors Village) on Sunday, Jan 27th at 2 pm with Pastor Larry Schram from Summerland Baptist Church.
