Vote count close in five-way race

by John Arendt

In a close mayoral race, Peter Waterman was elect-ed to the municipality’s top elected role, defeating his closest rival by just 77 votes.

Waterman, who had served as a councillor, was elected mayor with 1,197 votes out of the 4,428 ballots cast in the five-way mayoral race.

There are an estimated

8,600 eligible voters in Sum-merland.

Roch Fortin, the second-place finisher, garnered 1,120 votes. David Greg-ory, a former Summerland councillor and mayor, fin-ished with 1,005 votes, while Orv Robson, a mem-ber of the current council, had 1,003.

Christopher Boisvert-Gil-man was the fifth-place fin-isher with 103 votes.

Waterman has set out goals for the first 100 days of the new council.

He plans to introduce a motion to withdraw the application to remove land from the Agricultural Land Reserve.

The land exchange, approved by council earlier this year, is before the Agri-cultural Land Commission.

It calls for the removal of 80.34 hectares of land with-in the land reserve near the core of the community, while 91.7 hectares in the Prairie Valley area would be added to the land reserve.

It was a time for change as Summerland voters replaced the members of municipal council.

Mayor elect Peter Waterman was the only member of the past council to continue at the table.

Of the six councillors elected on Saturday, none has been part of the Summerland coun-cil before and only one has previous council experience elsewhere.

There were 16 candidates vying for the six councillor positions.

“It was an indication that we needed a change,” said councillor elect Toni Boot.

Boot was elected with 2,819 votes, fol-lowed by Erin Trainer with 2,214, Erin Carl-son with 2,096, Richard Barkwill with 1,843, Janet Peake with 1,707 and Doug Holmes with 1,650.

While Peake has served at the municipal level in Ontario, the rest of the councillors who were elected have not served on coun-cils in the past.

Erin Carlson, a vocal opponent of the municipality’s Urban Growth Plan, saw the election results as a show of public oppos-ition to the plan.

“We just had a little referendum,” Carlson said after the election results were announced on Saturday evening.

The growth plan included a controversial land exchange. In spring, a petition circu-lated by Carlson and others in the Stop the Swap movement was signed by more than 1,200 Summerlanders.

Candidates opposed to the growth plan received the strongest support in the elec-tion.

Most of those elected had earlier spoken out against the growth plan, especially the controversial land exchange, while those in support of the plan rated lower in the polls.

Trainer said the outcome of the vote also means a heavy responsibility for those who were elected.

“Now the hard work begins,” she said. Peake said the mix on the new council will

be exciting. She said she has never before worked with this many women on a muni-cipal council.

Holmes said the council members rep-resent a range of different experiences and personalities.

“We all have something to offer,” he said. “If you have clever people around the table, you’re going to work it out and do what’s best for the community.”

“There’s a lot of work ahead, but I think it’s a great group of people,” Barkwill said.

The remaining candidates were John Dorn with 1,605 votes, Denise MacDonald with 1,569, incumbent Robert Hacking with 1,461, incumbent Martin Van Alphen with 1,449, Joel Gregg with 1,330, incumbent Bruce Hall-quist with 1,276, Mark Smed with 855, Ken Rodocker with 560, Daniel Papadopolous with 205 and Marty Fisher with 181.

The new council will take office at the beginning of December.

The next municipal election will be in October, 2018.

in spring, there was strong opposition to the proposed land exchange, including a petition signed by more than 1,200 Sum-merlanders.

Waterman said the election results show a strong pub-lic opposition to the growth plan.

Of the mayoral candidates, only Robson campaigned in support of the plan.

Close to three-quarters of voters selected a candi-date opposed to the controversial land exchange, Waterman said.

In addition to rescinding the land exchange application, Waterman plans to organize a mayor’s task force on the local economy.

The mayor’s task

force will require participation from all facets of the com-

munity, Waterman said.

“We will be discussing how we can work togeth-er to make things hap-pen in Sum-merland,” he said.

“We have a tremen-dous oppor-tunity here.”

Waterman was first elected to coun-cil in 2005 and served

as a councillor until 2008.

In the 2008 elec-tion, he lost to Janice Perrino in a bid for the mayor’s position.

He received 1,651 votes to her 2,183 votes.

He was elected as a councillor once again in 2011.

Councillors electedSix municipal councillors were elected from 16 candidates. They will serve for the next four years.

The people of Summerland have spoken, or more accurately just over half the people have spoken.

The municipal election on Satur-day saw a voter turnout of 4,446, out of an estimated 8,695 eligible voters.

This works out to a voter turnout of

51 per cent.The numbers are from the unof-

ficial election results. Official election results were not available by press time.

Participation in Saturday’s muni-cipal election was much higher than in the last municipal election when

just 36.1 per cent cast ballots. In that election, Janice Perrino was elected by acclamation to serve a second term as mayor.

In 2008, voter turnout was close to 47 per cent and in 2005, 60.6 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots in the municipal election.

Voter turnout 51 per cent

Students pick Waterman over Fortin in close mayoral race

It was a close mayoralty race in the Summerland Second-ary School mock elec-tion.

Peter Waterman won the mayor’s chair by a slim one-vote margin over Roch Fortin and two votes over David Gregory in third. The other candidates

were far behind. For councillor,

newcomer Doug Holmes topped the polls with a convin-cing 19-vote win over Mark Smed. Both candidates have chil-dren attending the high school.

In third place was youthful candidate Erin Trainer, Toni Boot in fourth, Sum-merland Secondary School graduate and activist Erin Carlson in fifth place and another grad Robert

Hacking, an incum-bent, sixth.

The other 10 can-didates were not elected. Marty Fisher received the fewest votes with 13.

Civics 11 student Megan Avery says the simulated vote was “a good experience for students, but some kids didn’t bother to inform themselves and that’s a shame.”

Another student Leif Forge said many classes researched and debated the vari-

ous candidates and issues and around 30 students attended the two all-candidates meetings.

“ S u r p r i s i n g l y, many students may have been more informed than their parents,” said civ-ics teacher Dave

Stathers.He added that all

current students at the high school will be eligible to vote in the next municipal election four years from now.

Voter turnout in the school’s mock elec-tion was 29 per cent.

Mock election reflected actual outcome

Police in Summer-land have received complaints about an online scam circulat-ing in the community.

The scam involves emails, claiming to

come from the Can-ada Revenue Agency, asking for banking information so a tax refund can be issued.

Sgt. Stephane Lacroix of the Sum-

merland RCMP urges residents not to respond to the scam and not to pro-vide banking details online or over the phone.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

CANADA VS. THE U.S.A.Do you believe we are becoming more and more like our American cousins? Well, in some respects their culture has been a very big influence on ours. Whether or not that is a good thing is a matter of opinion and for that matter who's opinion it is.From a legal stand point, there are many areas where the American judicial system has encountered situations years ahead of the Canadian experience and as a result has been used as a guide by the Canadian courts in dealing with that situation.One aspect of our two legal systems will never be the same however, and that is the influence that juries play in creating law and awards. In America, a jury has a relatively free reign in handing out awards in civil matters. In Canada there are strict limitations on the amounts a Judge or Jury can award.The reason for this column? An article in the Canadian Lawyer Magazine estimated the value of all monetary awards given by juries in the US in 2002. The number was $283 BILLION dollars. Something to think about.

VICTORIA – The saddest manifestation of British Colum-bia’s modern democracy has produced its judgment, with the election of school trustees for the next four years.

There are still independent, community-minded trustees, but mostly “boards of e d u c a t i o n ” have become the neglected, exploited step-child of B.C. politics.

T e a c h e r union locals and CUPE-dominated “labour councils” organize candidate forums and ask most of the questions, often to former teachers holding and seeking school board seats.

Unions finance the cam-paigns of those who pledge to act as a bullhorn for constant demands for more provincial money, and instruct their mem-bers to vote for what should be called the Conflict of Interest slate.

This has been going on for so long in B.C. it is seen as nor-mal. Trustees who most loudly plump for their union masters tend to win, thanks to low turn-out.

The public mostly doesn’t give a damn, since school prop-erty tax authority was central-ized in Victoria many years ago, largely because of this spe-cial interest pressure.

The classic case is in Coquit-lam, where one could almost hear the theme from The God-father as local CUPE boss Dave

Ginter appeared before the board of education in February. He informed the elected trust-ees that their collective finan-cial acumen wasn’t up to his standards and some of them would have to go this fall.

“Obviously, the chore I have is to find new trustees,” Ginter clarified in an interview with the Tri-City News as the union’s candidate selection machine stirred to life.

Ginter seems to have made them an offer they couldn’t refuse on Saturday, with for-merly union-blessed trustees turfed out in favour of a new group.

Then there’s Vancouver Island, where the 1970s sur-vived, at least until Saturday night. Cowichan school board got itself fired by the prov-ince in 2012 for refusing to sub-mit a balanced budget.

Two of the trustees who think the job is to flout the bal-anced budget rule and instead demand a “needs budget” ran again.

They were joined on a slate by two others who apparently still believe the answer to every problem is to shout for “more government funding.” They didn’t get in, as voters appear to have been unimpressed by see-ing their school board replaced by a provincially-appointed manager for two years.

That brings up a mod-est proposal. How about an appointed trustee for each of the 60 school districts? School boards have lost authority over taxation, curriculum (another area of constant union social

engineering pressure) and now labour relations. Do we really need them any more?

After the 2013 B.C. election, the Christy Clark government wasted no time taking control of union bargaining on behalf of school districts. Trustees were pushed out of the bar-gaining agency, no longer trust-ed to represent taxpayers for that duty either.

The puppet role of some school trustees was evident in the recent teacher strike. When the province opted to pay par-ents for the disruption, there was a chorus of protest from those supposedly elected to represent the interests of par-ents and taxpayers.

School tax rates are now set by cabinet order, and the B.C. Liberal government is consid-ering a move to regulate local industrial taxes. (This would presumably be to keep union-influenced municipalities from trying to get too many golden eggs from those liquefied nat-ural gas plants.)

Would Education Minister Peter Fassbender and his team continue their remake by amal-gamating or eliminating school boards? Not likely.

With a rare teacher settle-ment in place, trustees will have less incentive to grand-stand.

And their meetings may become something more than union beef sessions.

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

Nearly half of all eligible vot-ers in Summerland did not cast ballots in Saturday’s municipal election.

Voter turn-out in this election was 51 per cent. While this is much better than the 36.1 per cent turn-out in 2011, it is still a disappointment.

In Canada, we have the right to vote for our governments, at all levels. This is not the case in some parts of the world.

Our right to vote is something which must not be taken lightly, in any election.

culls

For the past 100 years, the Research Centre in Summerland has been devel-oping fruit varieties and a g r i c u l t u r a l innovations.

Last week, the centre received the Century Farm Award in recognition of its work over the years.

As the challenges facing agri-culture are continuing to change, the need for the Research Cen-tre remains as important as ever before.

ourpickThe voice of

the peopleNow that a new munici-

pal council has been elected, the tone of Summerland’s local government is about to change.

All except one of those elected on Saturday is new to Summerland’s council table. The results make it clear that voters wanted a change.

This election can be seen in part as a vote against the Urban Growth Plan, an issue which earlier generated strong opposition.

The outcome can also be seen as the result of repeated calls for a council that would listen to and act on the wish-es of the public.

Throughout the discussion and debate on the growth plan, council faced a strong and vocal opposition from a significant number in the community. The decision to proceed with the growth plan was seen by some as a dis-regard for what the public wanted.

During the election cam-paign, members of the incom-ing council promised to act according to the wishes of the public.

Over the next four years, there will be times when this will prove difficult if not impossible. Elected officials at any level of government are sometimes faced with tough choices.

Budgets seldom satisfy everyone, particularly when they include tax increases or utility rate increases.

At other times, elected officials must look beyond the present population to the needs of future generations. Choices today may have a huge effect for decades to come.

Land use plans are long-lasting and not easily changed. The same is true of finan-cial decisions, especially those which require borrowing for infrastructure projects.

Public input is essential and the voice of the people must be taken seriously.

But there are also times when difficult and unpopular decisions must be made.

What to do with school boards?

Tom Fletcher

Dear Editor:Do you ever stop

and wonder what happens to your money when you spend it?

There is a term in economics called the multiplier effect.

Essentially it

explains that one persons spending is another person’s income.

When you spend $1 it multiplies because the next per-son spends a portion of it, and so on and so on.

Not to complicate things, but after dust-ing off my Econom-ics textbook the for-mula goes something like this; If everyone spends 90 per cent of what they earn and saves 10 per cent, then the multiplier

effect of one dollar you spend will be 1/(1 - 0.9) or a multiple of 10 times.

Wow! Think about that; every dollar spent in this example is amplified 10 times.

That dollar and subsequent portions

of it continue to be spent over and over again.

This concept is usually discussed at a macro economic level, but it is relevant to a local economy, such as Summerland.

When you make

the effort to stop at a roadside egg stand, it isn’t the value of the eggs, but 10 times the value of the eggs you pumped into the local economy.

How can we as consumers best put the multiplier into

effect for Summer-land, The Okanagan, or B.C.?

o Buy Local - the most obvious is to support business-es that are locally owned.

o Be Vocal - if a store doesn’t have a local option that you know exists, ask them to carry it.

o Think it Through — shopping at a local store is good. Buying the locally produced item is good. But where do the main ingredients from that locally produced item come from? Just because a company has a warehouse in the area doesn’t necessarily help the local farmer.

o Be Aware - ask yourself, “is this pur-chase multiplying in my community?”

o Challenge Your-self — what items do you buy that you haven’t explored the local option?

Solutions to Sum-merland’s economic development chal-lenges do not res-ide solely with our mayor and council.

One transaction at a time, you can make a difference and it just might be 10 times more than you think.

A harrowing cornerIt must have been nerve-wracking for the occupants of this Greyhound bus when they rounded a corner and headed straight for the lake. The highway between Summerland and Penticton had been ploughed on this day in the 1940s but the slippery, snow-packed curves proved too much for the bus, though thankfully it didn’t reach the water. While the highway is much wider now and we’ve been enjoying clear skies and no snow, winter is just around the corner so please make sure you have good tires that will keep you on the road and prepared for whatever Old Man Winter throws our way. Drive safe.

Local spending benefits community

Dear Editor:I would like to con-

gratulate the newly elected mayor and council and appreci-ate their commitment to serve and repre-sent the residents of Summerland over the next four years.

I have a very simple message that, judg-ing by the election results, voters didn’t believe the current council did that well: “This is our town, not council’s town. Hear what we have to say, listen carefully and act accordingly.”

Good luck over the next four years and once again, thank you for your will-ingness to serve our community.

Council must listen to public

Dear Editor:Re: High fuel prices at

Summerland pumps, Nov. 13 Summerland Review.

The writer stated, “The gas price in Summerland on Nov. 3 was $1.269 a litre and in Penticton it was $1.219 a litre. This is a huge difference and I won-der why. I have refused to

support the gas stations in Summerland and have filled up in Penticton and done my shopping there.”

So I sat down and did some math to see how much of a saving it is to drive to Penticton and fill up on gas.

The difference in price was five cents a litre, so if

you filled up with 40 litres of fuel, you would save yourself $2 (40 litres times five cents.)

Let’s say you drive a fuel efficient car that gets 50 miles per Imperial gallon. That would con-vert to 5.6 litres per 100 kilometres. The distance between Summerland and

Penticton is 18 kilometres, so a round trip would be 36 kilometres. Driving that distance would use 2.01 litres of fuel.

At the price of $1.21 a litre, it will cost $2.43 to go to Penticton ($1.21 times 2.01 litres used.)

There is no savings on gas and if you drive a six-

or eight-cylinder vehicle, you will be losing more money. This also does not take into account the vehicle wear and tear.

I suggest we support our local businesses. We’ll be saving time, money and the environment.

Stan HackingSummerland

No savings from cheaper gas price

Dear Editor:I can understand

and accept that we should pay for the amount of water we consume on our property, but it should be done fairly for everyone.

I received a let-ter from the Sum-merland Works and Utilities dated Oct. 29, stating that I will be charged $35.82 year round for water service and this will commence Dec. 31.

The second meter service will com-mence Jan. 1, 2015 if you choose to keep it.

The meter issue has not even been settled yet and we are being charged for something that does not exist in a func-tioning mode.

Some property owners have received a second water meter for irrigation use at no cost while others have been required

to pay $1,500 wich is totally unfair.

I hope the new council will address this issue immediate-ly and really explain what happened to cause this upset in the first place.

In my view, the planning and cost of

the $20 million water treatment plant is not suitable for this com-munity.

For example, why are so many people buying drinking water? What does separating the sys-tem mean and if it is so important, why

was it not addressed in the previous planning when the house meters were installed?

Anyone who wants to sign a peti-tion with regard to the second meter con-tract, please contact me at mldunn@shaw.

ca or phone 250-494-1428 or write to 10211 Giant’s Head Road, Summerland, V0H 1Z7.

Let’s stand togeth-er and let our voice be heard for fairness for all our citizens.

For the past 100 years, the Pacific Agri-food Research Centre in Summer-land has been help-ing farmers by devel-oping new fruit var-ieties and improving farming methods.

On Thursday, the centre received the Century Farm Award, in recognition of this service.

“It really has made a difference in our food industry,” MLA Dan Ashton said. “It

has made a difference for so many lives around the world.”

MP Dan Albas also acknowledged the work done at the cen-tre over the years.

“You all stand on the shoulders of a century of research,” he said.

In 1914, the fed-eral government pur-chased 162 hectares from Antoine Pierre for the centre. The portion below the railway tracks was for irrigated farm-ing while the portion

above the tracks was for dry farming.

In the years follow-ing, the centre has gone through numer-ous changes.

At times, it has worked with beef and dairy cattle, poultry and sheep and even tobacco production in the 1920s.

Throughout its his-tory, the centre has been best known for its fruit research.

Today, the cherry varieties developed in Summerland have a worldwide reputation.

Dr. Kenna MacK-enzie, assistant direc-tor, research develop-ment and technology at the centre, said 75 to 80 per cent of cherry trees planted worldwide today have their origins in Summerland.

Numerous apple varieties have been developed at the cen-tre.

The best known is the Spartan apple, a hybrid of the Mac-intosh and Newton apples. Work on this variety began in 1924.

In 1936, the commer-cial trial took place.

Many other fruit varieties have come out of the centre’s research over the years.

MacKenzie said fruit research is con-tinuing and new varieties may reach consumers within the next five to 10 years.

“The quality of fruit from here is bet-ter than anything I have had from any-where else,” MacK-enzie said.

Other develop-

ments in recent years have included techno-logical improvements for the harvest, hand-ling and storage of fruit.

As the wine indus-try grows, the centre has been working on vineyard and winery innovations includ-ing irrigation and water management.

Other research includes plant virus-es, pest management, food production and more.

Today, there are between 130 and 170

people at the centre, depending on the time of year. These include scientists, corporate manage-ment, students and others involved in agricultural research.

In the years to come, MacKenzie said different crop varieties may be studied at the centre.

She added that some of the future research will be at the molecular level, to gain a greater under-standing of how the genome works.

Research Centre receives agricultural awardAgricultural excellenceSurrounded by Pacific Agri-food Research Centre staff, Dr. Kenna MacKenzie, assistant director, research development and technology, holds the Century Farm Award. The centre received the award last Thursday in recognition of its agricultural research over the past 100 years.

Summerland Review Thursday, November 20, 2014 N e w s www.summerlandreview.com 7

Throughout the past year, I have talked about the weather in Toyokoro and how in a lot of ways it is differs to Summerland weath-er.

For example, we experience high humidity in the sum-mer, and dryness in the winter.

We have days in the summer where you can see for miles, and days in the fall where you struggle to see two feet in front of you due to heavy fog.

In the winter, driv-ing can be treacher-ous due to heavy snow on the west coast, and ice on the east coast.

Once a week, I drive to a school that’s 20 minutes east of Toyokoro, which presides on the coast of the Pacific Ocean. That one day of the week I can always count on the weather being drastically dif-ferent to the weather in Toyokoro.

Despite this strange climate, we

still haven’t had any snowfall, or even freezing this year.

It almost feels like Summerland with the warmth that still hangs around. Since I’ve been here, one thing that Japan never fails to do, on an almost daily basis, is surprise me.

For example, some daily things are much easier to do here while some are more dif-ficult. When I need to get gas, have my oil changed, or have my car washed, its as easy as driving to the nearest gas station, sitting in the car, and letting the gas station attendants take care

of everything. Since I don’t need

to tip, it isn’t expen-sive.

However, gas sta-tions have very short hours from what I’m used to. In smaller towns they open at 8 a.m. and close around 6 or 7 p.m. Weekends, they close even earlier.

Every month, I receive my water, Internet, house phone, lunch, and electric bill through my Board of Educa-tion.

To pay these, I can just go to a conven-ience store when con-venient and pay them there.

My kerosene heat-er gets automatically filled up about one time a year, and I pay that at the nearest gas station.

The rest of my bills are automatically taken from my bank account. However,

going to the ATM is frustrating. Banks in Japan have ATM cor-ners, separate from the bank like Canada has.

The bank in Toyokoro closes at 3 p.m., while the ATM stays open until 5 p.m. Most people work past 5 p.m, making it impossible to get money after work.

Since no place I’ve been yet accepts debit cards, this can make some events a bit worrying.

In 7-Eleven stores in cities, they have 24-hour ATMs. How-ever, most banks will only allow you to withdraw from your account until 9 p.m. Between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m., you cannot withdraw money.

On Sundays, the hours are even ear-lier.

So some things that are difficult in

Canada are extremely easy to do here, and vice versa! It took me a while to get used to some of these.

Thanks for read-ing! Jaku niku kyo shoku – the weak are meat; the strong eat.

Orchards recognized at National Apple Competition

Four Summerland orchards received national recognition for their apples at the National Apple Com-petition in Toronto on the weekend.

The competition is part of the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair.

“B.C. apples did great again this year in the national apple competition, a fitting tribute and a finale to the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Associa-

tion celebration of its 125th year,” said Fred Steele, president of the association.

Billy and Shauna Boerboom of Wind-mill Orchards received first prize honours in the Jona-gold category.

The Boerbooms grow apples, pears and cherries on 5.26 hectares. They also have an on-site pack-ing house and a fruit market.

Steve Brown of

Happy Valley Har-vest received second prize in the Gala category, while Julie Sardinha of Sar-dinha Orchards took third.

Brown has been growing fruit with his father Bob Brown for more than 12 years. He has also worked as a field service representative with the B.C. Tree Fruits Co-op program.

Sardinha has been involved with farm-

ing since 1981. She and her late hus-band Joe Sardinha took over his par-ents’ orchard in 1998 and began a massive replant at that time.

Devin Jell of Sun-Oka Fruit Farms received the first place award for Granny Smith apples and Ambrosia apples.

He also won third in the Pink Lady cat-egory.

In the Best Col-lection of Five Var-

ieties, he took second place with his assort-ment of Honeycrisp, Ambrosia, Aurora Golden Gala, Granny Smith and Pink Lady.

In the heaviest apple category, he took first place hon-ours.

Jell has been farm-ing a 10.5-hectare high-density apple orchard for seven years. His family has been farming in Sum-merland for more than 120 years.

The Summerland Singers and Players will present a dra-matic reading of a well-loved holiday story next month.

The reading of Charles Dickens’ novel, A Christmas Carol, will be held on Friday, Dec. 5 at 7:30 p.m. at Summerland United Church.

Bob Read, presi-dent of Summerland Singers and Players, said this is the second year the reading will be presented.

It is a fundraiser with all proceeds going to the Com-munity Resource Centre.

“We’re not doing a play version,” Read said.

“We’re doing a reading and it is quite effective.”

During the read-ing, scenes from the story will be pro-

jected onto a screen behind the readers.

The evening is hosted by Dennis Walker of SO Coun-try and features Mike Swanson of EZ Rock, Armand Houle, David Sparks, Don Gayton and Monica Keetch.

Two choirs will present music during the evening. They are the United Church Chorus, conducted by Kathleen Estabrooks and the Summerland Children’s Choir, conducted by Linnea Good.

Read said the organizers hope to make the reading a holiday tradition in Summerland.

Tickets for the reading are avail-able at Summerland United Church and at the Summerland Community Arts Centre.

Seasonal story will be presented

Tracy Fehr and singers are once again bringing hope to North Afri-can women with their Voices in Song Christmas Benefit Concert on Saturday, Nov. 29.

“We’ve been able to make a real differ-ence in people’s lives with these benefit concerts,” Fehr said.

Fehr has raised money for North Afri-can women through ACT, the Association for Cooperation in Tunisia. This non-profit organization helps unwed moth-ers and marginalized women receive train-ing and funds to set up small home-based businesses.

She has been to North Africa three times to work with this organization and

will return early next year. While there, she hosts benefit concerts that receive much publicity and help ACT make new contacts with govern-ment and community agencies.

“I’m looking for-ward to going back to help strengthen con-nections,” she said. “I’ll also meet the women and children who are new to the program, and those that we have recently helped.”

Over the years, donations from the Voices in Song audi-ence have assisted ACT in helping these young women and mothers set up home-based businesses such as weaving and baking.

The organiza-tion has also raised

money to hire a coun-sellor to work with these women who are often suffering because of rape, family abuse, trauma and discrimination.

The concert on Nov. 29 features Tracy Fehr, lyric coloratura soprano, as well as senior students from her studio.

It will be held at Lakeside Presbyter-ian Church, 5505 But-ler Dr., beginning at 7 p.m.

Accompanists are Dennis Nordlund on piano and Elizabeth Lupton on violin and viola.

Tickets and can be purchased at the Penticton and District Arts Council, from Tracy Fehr at 250-486-5073 or [email protected] or at the door.

Concert to benefit North African women

Fundraising effortIn the new year, Tracy Fehr (pictured in Sfax, Tunisia) will return to North Africa to assist single mothers and disadvantaged women set up home-based businesses. Her Christmas benefit concert will take place on Nov. 29.

Next weekend, Summerland will mark the start of the festive season with the 27th annual Fes-tival of Lights.

The festival, on Friday, Nov. 28, is expected to draw 6,000 visitors to the downtown area for

an evening of enter-tainment, attractions and fireworks.

Downtown holi-day light displays will be turned on at 7 p.m.

The evening is organized by the Summerland Cham-ber of Commerce.

This year’s theme is Christmas Rocks. E n t e r t a i n m e n t includes a mix of rock, rhythm and blues, soul and southern groove, in addition to choirs and carollers.

Sophia Jackson of the Summerland Chamber said local

performers this year include Daniel Raitt of Silent Alarm and Our Sons, lead by John Rousseau.

Damn Fools, a highly rated Van-couver-based south-ern rock band, will also provide musical entertainment.

The evening also includes a fireworks display, sponsored by the Summerland Credit Union, fol-lowed by a fire dance by Kelowna’s Kin-shira Performance Troupe.

In addition to the entertainment, the festival will feature food and gift vendors on Main Street.

Three ice carving stations, sponsored by Nesters Market, will be set up down-town.

The Summerland Art Gallery will have various arts and craft items available at the annual Season Spar-kles show.

For children, the Summerland Credit Union will host its Santa’s Workshop craft area. IGA Sum-merland will host the Kids Zone, which includes bouncy cas-tles and pictures with Santa.

The Summerland Fire Department will have a fire truck set up downtown and will collect donations for the annual Toys and Toonies for Tots and Teens drive.

On the Saturday and Sunday, the Bottleneck Drive wineries will host the fourth annual Light Up the Vines event.

Festive season begins with show of lights

Movember promotionRhianna Wiebe, left, Dionne Mitchell and Megan Levinsky of Salon 1919 prepare for the Moustache Awards on Friday, Nov. 28 and Saturday, Nov. 29 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Money raised will go to the Movember Foun-dation. Donations will also be accepted for prostate cancer.

SUMMERLAND ACTION FESTIVAL ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING


Royalty program involves long commitmentby Carla McLeod

Special to the Review

Blossom time may seem like a long way off, but the coordin-ators of the Blossom Pageant are already preparing for the pageant weekend.

Karen Hooper, or “Mother Karen” as the girls call her, is serving as a volun-teer coordinator for the eighth year in a row. She started out as a parent volunteer. Both of her daugh-ters have been past pageant contestants.

Hooper is joined by two other volun-teer coordinators, Leanne Sieben for the fourth year and Pat Gartrell for the third.

“As a team we work very well together. We’ve all got differ-ent strengths,” said Hooper. “It is a lot of work, but it is very

rewarding. What keeps me going is seeing the confidence level the girls build

in themselves and in public speaking. It’s a skill they will use for their entire lives.”

This same senti-ment was echoed by Sieben.

“What I enjoy most about working with these young women is watching them grow into confident young women…to be able to speak confi-dently and function in situations that they would not normally put themselves into,” she said.

As a parent, Gar-trell saw the value of this personal development pro-gram. Four of her five daughters took part in the pageant over the years.

“I believe the pro-gram offers so many opportunities for young women to develop their self-confidence and to experience growth when they have the courage to step out-side of their comfort zone,” she explained.

The Blossom

Pageant is an eight-month program for Grade 11 girls. It not only builds confi-dence and self-esteem but also teaches life skills.

The three candi-dates chosen as Sum-merland’s Royalty spend the following year as youth ambas-sadors, travelling throughout the prov-ince promoting Sum-merland as a great place to live, work and visit.

The pageant coordinators visit the high school in June to recruit candidates. This gives those who may be interested the summer to find a sponsor. They then submit their appli-cation at the follow up meeting which is held at the start of the next school year.

“We have nine candidates and nine sponsors this year,” said Hooper. “Five of the sponsors are new. It’s great to get different businesses and service clubs

involved.”The candidates

meet weekly on Mon-day evenings.

“Each Monday we either go somewhere different or we have presenters come to the meeting,” Hooper said.

The program relies on volunteers from the community to teach the candidates life skills, such as car care, fitness, eti-quette, deportment, speech writing, pub-lic speaking and even dance. They also learn about Summer-land’s history, muni-cipal politics and tourism.

“We could not do any of this without the huge support we get from the com-munity year after year,” Hooper said.

“All the money we use in the pageant is fundraised money. Sponsors pay a $275.00 sponsorship fee, but that goes directly to the candi-date.”

This buys the girl

one outfit which con-sists of a skirt, blouse, nylons, shoes, banner and name tag.

In order to raise funds, the coordin-ators and candidates bake and sell apple pies, sell tickets to a tea and fashion show and sell tickets to the pageant itself. The coordinators put a program book together that is also sold at the pageant.

“The candidates sell the ads and we make the book and submit it to be print-ed,” said Hooper. “It is very time consum-ing.”

Money raised throughout the year goes towards the travelling costs of the crowned royalty.

These three coordinators also send out pageant invitations to royalty in every B.C. com-munity. They write the script and decor-ate for pageant night, acquire judges and hold dress rehearsals. They work with par-ents to plan a pageant dance and with the Kiwanis for a pan-cake breakfast.

Most importantly they are there to pro-vide the candidates with emotional sup-port throughout the year.

When the blos-soms bloom in 2015, the 45th annual Blos-som Pageant will be held at Centre Stage Theatre on May 1 and 2.

Pageant candidatesBlossom Pageant coordinators and candidates gathered in the basement of the Summerland Baptist Church recently to bake apple pies, filling prepaid orders. The pies are sold to raise money for the pageant. Pictured behind the girls from left are pageant coordinators Karen Hooper, Pat Gartrell and Leanne Sieben. Candidates from left are Melane Martens, Taylor Arkesteyn, Martha Headland, Erin Sorensen, Chantal Ashton, Julia Fotherby, Makenzie Vandertoolen, Emily Jerry, Emma Thomson and Elia Rodriguez.

Food bank donationTara Hollas, resource coordinator at the Sum-merland Food Bank and Resource Centre, left, receives a donation of food and $77 in cash from Carrie Mayes of Peanuts and Pumpkins Kids Shop and Sheila Kuhre of the Welcome Wagon. The donations were collected at a holiday market Nov. 8 at the Boys and Girls Club. More than 350 people attended. Admis-sion was by donation to the food bank.

The Summerland Steam defeated the Kimberley Dynamit-ers in a 6-3 home game on Sunday.

In the first period, scoring opened with a power play goal by Kimberley at 11:47.

Rylan Sideroff of the Steam responded with a power play goal at 7:47, assisted by Cole Woodliffe and Braden Eliuk.

The Steam took the lead at 4:01 with a goal by Eliuk, assist-ed by Woodliffe.

After another goal by the Dynamiters, Woodliffe scored for the Steam at 2:05, assisted by Michael McEachern.

In the second per-iod, Woodliffe scored at 11:09, assisted by Coleton Fisher.

The third period

began with a goal by the Dynamiters.

The final goal came with one second remaining, when Jar-rett Malchow scored on a power play, assisted by Nelson Hurry and Calvin Hadley.

The Atom House tournament had teams from Abbotsford, Langley, Hope, Pen-ticton, West Kelowna and South Okanagan all participating.

The McDon-ald’s Summerland Atomic Fireball Jets had a great perform-ance from the whole group and matured as a team. They were undefeated in the round robin play with scores of 5-0 against Pentic-ton, Holden Girard, Leigha Herman, Sam Fortin and Ethan Dunley-Owen were the goal scores.

Sheldon Biggley and Branden Tutk-

aluk in net of the first game.

With a score of 3-0 against South Oka-nagan Logan Miller, Andrew Read and Morgan Gove all received one point, Tutkaluk and Tyler Algar kept the South Okanagan team from scoring.

Against Hope, Gove scored a hat trick. Read and Lazar Michaud, with one point each, ended the game 6-2 with Big-gley and Algar in net.

The team played a hard-pressed game against their rivals West Kelowna but fell short in the semi finals with a score of 9-3.

Michaud, Gove and Dunley-Owen all scored in the final game.

Biggley and Tut-kaluk played hard between the pipes.

The Fireballs placed first in their pool and third overall

and all team mem-bers put forward a valiant effort on ice

and between the pipes.

Thank you to the

coaches and sponsors who helped out with the tournament.

A picturesque community of more than 11,200 residents, the District of Summerland boasts a small town atmosphere, beautiful outdoor environment and a great quality of life. Over the last several years Summerland has prospered with award winning wines and agri-tourism. Nestled in the heart of the Okanagan Valley on the shores of Okanagan Lake, Summerland enjoys a semi-desert climate with mild, short winters and hot, dry summers. Residents and tourists enjoy easy access to spectacular beaches and parks, scenic biking and hiking trails, beautiful orchards and vineyards and many boutique retail and dining opportunities.

Following the current Chief Administrative Officer’s retirement announcement, Summerland is seeking a CAO to provide effective advice and support to the Mayor and Council in developing and implementing policies and strategies that address the economic, social and environmental needs of the District. In doing so, you will provide strong leadership to an organization of 100 employees in 6 departments with an annual budget of $30M.

As the ideal candidate, you are an accomplished local government leader with a combination of education and experience in providing effective customer service in a small to medium sized municipality. You are known for your strong management and interpersonal skills and can creatively resolve issues. You believe in the value of public participation and have a proven ability to develop positive working relationships with elected officials, employees and external stakeholders. As well, you have considerable experience working with a wide range of stakeholders to implement new initiatives.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a team dedicated to creating a vibrant and livable community. If you are interested in applying for this position, please provide a cover letter and resume in confidence by Monday, December 1, 2014, to Marnie Manders, Manager of Human Resources:

SPACIOUS TOWNHOUSE - NICE YARD!

10915 WARD STREET

In just over a week downtown Summerland will be full of people celebrating the 27th Annual Festi val of Lights.

Downtown will definitely be alive with activity as the Summerland Chamber is expecting 6,000 locals and visitors for this great family event.

Cel e brat ing the theme Christ mas Rocks, down town Sum mer land will be transformed into a hol i day won der land as downtown streets are filled with street performers and many activities for children including Santa’s work shop, pony rides, ATV rides, bouncy cas tles and an opportunity for photos with Santa.

In addition, Summerland United Church is hosting a KidZone where you can make your own CD or craft, a Quiet Zone, photo ops and more. Elsewhere downtown there will be three ice carv ing sta tions and an Art Show and Sale by the

Summerland Pleasure Painters at the IOOF Hall.

And at the Arts Centre Seasons Sparkles where you’ll find paintings, fibre art, pottery, jewellery, cards, home decor, original handmade gift items and much more. Seasons Sparkles will be at the Arts Centre until Dec. 20 and is open daily except Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Why cook at home when you can partake of great food from street vendors or get some mac and cheese and soup at Summerland United Church, chili at the IOOF Hall or something from one of our downtown restaurants.

This year Light Up wel comes Van couver rock band, Damn Fools. Fol low ing the release of their first album, Off The Floor in 2013, Damn Fools fol lowed their first tour by land ing in the Peak Per for mance Project’s Top 12, and are quickly work ing their way into Cana dian hearts. Expect to be swept

away by a heady mix of rock and roll, rhythm and blues, soul and south ern groove.

And, of course, everyone will gather for the mass countdown when all the down town Christ mas lights are switched on. Later on will be the much enjoyed

fireworks.Following the fire

works, the party contin ues on Main Street with a fire dance dis play by Kelowna’s Kin shira Per formance Troupe.

Fes ti val goers are invited to join the fun: wear your Santa hats, your favourite Christ mas scarf and of course, any thing that lights up! Wearable Light Up options will be avail able for purchase.
