Steam finish ChiefsSummerland earns win in seventh game to advance to division finals

John Arendt

It took seven games of intense hockey action and determination for the Summerland Steam to win the playoffs against the Kelowna Chiefs.

The best of seven series ended with a 2-1 win over the Chiefs at the Sum-merland arena on Saturday evening.

The victory came in front of a record crowd of 450 people.

Both Summerland goals were scored by Jack Mills, who had broken his orbital in the playoff game against Kelowna on Feb. 24.

Mills was named home star of the game on Saturday.

The playoff series had been defined by strong play from both teams.

Earlier, the games had included a 10-4 domination and a come-from-behind 7-6 overtime victory for the Steam.

Gregg Wilson, co-owner and gen-eral manager of the Steam, said the team improved as the ser-ies continued.

“I think we got stronger as we went along,” he said.

“Our boys never quit.”

Prior to the game on Saturday evening, Tim Hogg, director

of media and mar-keting for the Steam, expressed confidence in the team.

“This is a group that can get the job done. They know it and everyone around them knows it,” he said.

He added that the Summerland and Kelowna teams both worked hard throughout the play-off series.

“No matter what happens tonight, neither team should leave the Summer-

land Arena hanging their head,” he said. “Both have per-formed valiantly.”

The Summerland Steam have been in playoff action in the past two years, In the 2012 to 2013 season, the team fin-

ished fourth in regu-lar season play and lost to Kelowna in six games in the play-offs.

Last year, the Steam were first in their division in the regular season, los-ing to the North Oka-

nagan Knights in a seven-game playoff series.

The win on Satur-day means Summer-land has advanced to the division finals against the top-ranked Osoyoos Coy-otes.

In regular season play, the Coyotes fin-ished solidly in first place in the Okanag-an/Shuswap Confer-ence: Okanagan Div-ision of the Kootenay International Jun-ior Hockey League while the Steam had a strong second-place finish.

The Coyotes fin-ished with a record of 42 wins, seven losses, two ties and one overtime loss while the Steam fin-ished with 28 wins, 19 losses, two ties and three overtime losses.

Throughout the course of the exhib-ition and regular sea-son play, the Coyotes have been undefeat-ed against the Steam.

The two teams faced each other twice in exhibition play and eight times in regular season action.

Two of the games ended in ties while the rest were wins for the Coyotes.

Despite the strong showing by Osoy-oos, Wilson expects a strong showing from the Steam.

“Anything can happen in playoff games,” he said. “It should be a heck of a series.”

A core group of Summerland’s vol-unteer firefighters have spent many

years with the department.

Fire chief Glenn Noble said one mem-

ber has more than 30 years of service with the department while two more are

nearing the 30-year level.

A larger group have achieved 15, 20 and 25 years of ser-vice.

“We have a good core group,” he said. “It’s very impres-sive with their com-mitment and what they’ve given.”

There are between eight and 10 firefight-ers in the long-term group, he said.

Because of their long commitments, the department has an average of 12 years of service for its firefighters.

The department has 23 active mem-bers at present. One is on a leave of absence and there are four vacancies.

On average, fire-fighters can leave the detachment to respond to a call in 6:54 and will arrive at the scene in 11:10.

Noble said the department will like-ly recruit additional volunteer firefighters in fall.

Because of out-of-town work commit-ments for many vol-unteers, an average of nine firefighters respond to daytime calls.

The response rate has been unchanged since the department began tracking these figures in 2007.

Firing your clientSometimes in a Lawyer's career he or she is faced with the rare decision to fire a client. Yes, you read that right, not the client changing counsel but the Lawyer firing a client. In a recent situation on the Prairies, 37 Regina lawyers refused to act for a person because his reputation as a very bad client had preceded him. In that case the person had numerous Lawyers in the past and had gain a reputation as being completely uncontrollable.There are many reasons why a Lawyer may consider this drastic step. Normally, it involves lack of payment of the Lawyer's bill. Lawyer's, just like everyone else have the right to be paid for their services and can refuse to act when they are not paid on a timely basis. Occasionally though the reason for refusing to act stems directly from the client=s attitude or conduct. The Law Society of B.C. has set up rules on how Lawyers disengage themselves from clients when involved in litigation. Timing is very important and preventative measures are in place to ensure that no party is unduly prejudiced by the withdrawal.

Auxiliary pledges $1M for hospitalJohn Arendt

The Summerland Health Care Aux-iliary has pledged to raise $1 million over the next five years for the new Patient Care Tower at the Pentic-ton Regional Hospi-tal.

This is the first organization to make such a major commit-ment to the fundrais-ing campaign.

The auxiliary oper-ates the Thrift Shop on Victoria Road North.

The South Oka-nagan Similkameen Medical Foundation is raising $20 mil-lion for new medical equipment for the hospital expansion.

Wess Campbell, president of the Sum-merland Health Care Auxiliary, said the auxiliary will con-tinue to provide sup-port to other health-

related organizations. These include the hospital, the Sum-merland Health Cen-tre, the Dr. Andrew Pavilion in Summer-land, Recope and the Masonic Cancer Car Project.

The auxiliary takes in around $320,000 a

year through its thrift shop.

While the $1 mil-lion commitment is significant, Campbell said it is achievable.

“We looked at what we had done over the last five years and decided we could do this,” he said. “We

have great support from this commun-ity.”

Janice Perrino, executive director of the medical founda-tion, hopes the aux-iliary’s pledge will encourage others to contribute to the hos-pital expansion.

“They’re lighting the fire for all other organizations,” she said.

The expansion project is expected to cost $325 million. Once completed, the tower will include new operating and surgical rooms, 84

new single-patient rooms, ambulatory care clinics and other facilities.

The Okanagan Similkameen Region-al Hospital District will provide $122 million, or 40 per cent of the construction costs. The province

and its private sector P3 partner will pay around $183 million, or 60 per cent of the cost.

The work will be done in two phas-es over four to five years.

During the first phase, the work will be at the seven-storey Patient Care Tower. The second phase will convert the exist-ing front lobby and adjacent offices at the hospital to become part of a larger emer-gency department.

The new emer-gency department will be almost four times the size of the existing emergency room.

The province is expected to select its P3 partner this fall, with construction to begin in spring of 2016. The work is expected to be com-pleted by late 2019.

Intrexon buys Okanagan Specialty Fruits

Black Press

S u m m e r l a n d ’ s Okanagan Specialty Fruits has been draw-ing international attention over the last few years for its development of an apple that doesn’t turn brown after slicing.

They’ve also drawn the attention of a major player. On Feb. 27, Neal Cart-er, founder of OSF, announced the com-pany had been sold for $41 million to Intrexon, a U.S. com-pany that styles itself as a leader in syn-thetic biology.

“We feel this acqui-sition can be viewed as a very positive development for the local commun-ity,” wrote Carter in an email interview. “Okanagan Specialty Fruits will remain based in Summer-land. We are pleased to share that Intrexon intends to retain all current staff.”

Through the acquisition, Intrexon expands its food pro-grams to include trees yielding fruit that is more appetizing and convenient for con-sumers while provid-

ing economic benefit throughout the tree fruit supply chain.

Carter, who will also remain with OSF after the acqui-sition is complete, developed his line of Arctic Apple var-ieties using genetic techniques to switch off the gene that con-trols the enzyme that turns the white flesh of apples brown after exposure to air.

“We have certain-ly received a great deal of interest from a variety of sources, and as expected, the foodservice industry is among those who recognize the value of the nonbrowning trait,” wrote Carter noting that currently, fresh cut apples must be treated with anti-browning solutions, adding cost and inter-fering with flavour.

“The potential is huge in areas like cafe-terias, for example. In fact, a recent study

from Cornell found that schoolchildren eat about 70 per cent more apples if they’re served pre-sliced rather than whole.”

Arctic Apples recently gained regu-latory approval in the U.S., and are well on their way through the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s process. The com-pany expects Can-adian regulators to grant commercial approval to Arctic apples in the near future. Carter said it is unfortunate that the BC Fruit Growers Association has taken a stand against bio-technology.

“Even if they are not interested in sup-porting Arctic apples, many others are; we have received sig-nificant interest in Arctic apples from a substantial number of growers and other members of the apple supply-chain,” Carter

writes. That interest is echoed by consum-ers, according to their own studies and taste test comparisons.

Carter said their technique doesn’t introduce any foreign genes into the apple, instead using one of the apple’s own genes to make the changes. OSF has put the apples through years of field testing in their quest to gain regulatory approval for the Arctic Apple line, which includes genetically modified versions of granny, golden, Fuji and gala

apples.“Okanagan is a

world leader in the development of fruit-bearing plants to express enhanced, advantageous traits with tremendous potential to revolu-tionize the tree fruit industry,” said Thom-as R. Kasser, PhD, senior vice president and head of Intrex-on’s food sector. “Through this acqui-sition, we can deliver more accessible and affordable choices of high-quality foods for an ever-growing population.”

Arctic Apple company sold

A large pledgeMembers of the Summerland Health Care Auxiliary have pledged $1 million over the next five years for the expansion project at the Penticton Regional Hospital. The cost of new medical equipment for the expansion is $20 million. There are around 150 volunteers who assist with the auxiliary.

VICTORIA – In a recent speech, Pre-mier Christy Clark quipped that while teenagers tend to be lazy, there is a limit.

If your kid is still on the couch after age 30, she said, he’s not a teenager any more. “He’s a New Demo-crat.”

Clark’s ‘get off the couch and get a job’ message is now being translated into gov-ernment policy.

The B.C. govern-ment is using one of the few tools avail-able to it to track down people who aren’t paying off their student loans, by linking default-ed debt to driver’s licence renewals.

There are “hard-ship” provisions for those who don’t have a job.

ICBC will only refuse to renew a driver’s licence or vehicle plates for those who have let their student debt go for a year without making some effort to deal with it.

Student debt col-lection is a long-standing problem for the province,

with about $185 mil-lion currently on the books as defaulted and unpaid.

Students natur-ally move around after completing their studies, and once the six-month grace per-iod for beginning to repay student loans expires, finding those who aren’t paying becomes a costly effort.

Historically gov-ernments sent defaulted debt to col-lection agencies.

Last year $17.3 mil-lion was collected.

How big is student debt these days?

The subject was discussed briefly in the legislature last week.

In question per-

iod, NDP lead-er John Horgan reminded the gov-ernment that tuition fees have doubled over the past decade, and cited a Bank of Montreal estimate that the average university student emerges from a four-year program owing $35,000 in student loans.

With his usual modesty and tact, Advanced Educa-tion Minister Andrew Wilkinson dismissed Horgan’s accusation that he is indiffer-ent to the plight of students. Wilkin-son noted that the Bank of Montreal sur-veyed 602 students across Canada, and only 78 of them were in B.C.

“To clarify this, and to address the cackling chickens on the other side, we have 430,000 students in our sys-tem,” Wilkinson said. “Some of them are part-time; some of them are on short courses. We have 180,000 students who are in the system full-time and eligible for student aid.

“Of those 180,000 students, 45,000 turn to the province for financial aid – mean-ing that 75 per cent of students, more than what was quot-ed on the CBC yes-terday, go through their education with-out incurring debt through the provin-cial student aid pro-gram.”

Whatever the amount owing is for an individual, it’s a debt that will be more difficult to avoid pay-ing.

The province has long used the with-holding of driving privileges to col-lect unpaid provin-cial court fines, and that was recently extended to those who are 90 days in arrears on $25 or more worth of Lower Mainland bridge tolls.

This student debt collection move fol-lows efforts to match up post-secondary funding to areas of employment demand.

In an era where misguided univer-sity professors use their positions to

organize violent protests against job-creating projects, the messages are simi-lar.

Variations of this productivity theme are being heard from governments across North America. The baby boomers are retiring. We are bringing in tempor-ary foreign workers, not because of some right-wing plot, but because too many people growing up in our society refuse to do an increasing range of jobs.

We have an edu-cation system – and media – that encour-ages people to com-plain and make demands to get what they want. And we are seeing the results of all of this.

There was a U.S. president once who said, “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”

YOUR VIEWS

The 77th annual Summerland Business and Community Awards ceremony on Saturday was an opportunity to recognize businesses, individuals and organizations for outstanding efforts.

The award recipients and finalists have stood out in various categories and deserve the recognition they have received.

The quality of the nominees this year was strong. The award finalists selection committee had a difficult task in paring down the list to two entries in each cat-egory.

As the list of nominees and finalists shows, there are many in Summerland who are making an extra effort. In many cases, the work has taken place over many years. It is important to recognize their contributions.

The pursuit of excellence, in any sector of our business community, benefits the community as a whole.

Businesses which are known for pro-viding extra effort will draw and retain customers. They also help to develop a reputation for business excellence throughout the community.

The individuals and organizations list-ed this year have also made a difference in the community.

The list of award winners and even the full list of nominees, while impressive, is not a complete list of all who are making exceptional efforts in Summerland.

Only 11 awards were presented on Saturday evening, but many more busi-nesses, organizations and individuals continue to provide noteworthy service to the community.

Some are businesses working to pro-vide the best possible product or service for their customers.

Some are service organizations which provide assistance or funding to special community projects or causes.

Some are individuals who give of their time in many ways, without expecting any compensation in return for their efforts.

These continuous efforts deserve to be acknowledged.

Strong Women. Strong World.A wife and mother, Lydia Johnston helped run West Summerland’s first café and the Premier Hotel. She also had her own taxi business and did most of the driving herself. Not bad for a woman in the 1920s. This year, Canada’s theme for International Women’s Day (March 8) is: Strong Women. Strong World. Improving Economic Opportunities for All—pointing out that women are key to economic prosperity. Almost one hundred years ago, as home to Lydia and others like her, Summerland already knew that.

Dear Editor:As a former Sum-

merlander, I want to thank you for put-ting a photo from The Early Years in your paper each week.

When I looked at

the photo and read the names in the Feb. 19 edition, I was pleasantly surprised to see my dad (J. Mar-shall,) my uncle (A. Marshall) and our future family doctor (B. Munn) who deliv-

ered my three chil-dren.

I have very many happy memories from when I lived in Summerland.

Every once in a while, the picture in The Early Years

brings back a pleas-ant memory, such as skating at Charlie Wharton’s outdoor rink. That was so great.

Community helps support refugees

Dear Editor:I would like to

thank you for the great coverage of the Summerland United Church Refugee Sponsorship Group in the Jan. 29 edition of the Review.

As a result of the publicity given by your newspaper and other media outlets in the Okanagan area we have received generous offers of furniture and house-

wares and donations to help with the liv-ing expenses of the family as they settle here in Summer-land.

Your readers will be happy to hear that the family will arrive in Summerland at the end of March, and we look forward to wel-coming them, assur-ing them of safety and enabling them to find their feet in a new land.

We are still fund-raising and if you have not donated, Summerland United Church would be happy to receive your gift marked for “Refugee Support.” It will help.

Consumers do not want GMO appleDear Editor: I couldn’t disagree

more with Keith Carl-son and the position

of the BCFGA regard-ing the Arctic Apple.

One of the funda-mental parts of good

marketing is product differentiation. Par-ticularly, product dif-ferentiation with a

premium price. The local example of this is VQA wines.

At this moment,

B.C. Growers have a chance to differenti-ate their brand and apples from those of their U.S. counter-parts.

This is a first, usu-ally growers are in the same boat as our Washington State counterparts our income at least in part dependent on the size of the Wash-ington State crop.

Because the Arctic has been approved in the US (and so far not in Canada) the US brand will be associ-ated with GMOs and GMO production.

If B.C. growers can keep the CFIA from approving or the government from allowing the release of the Arctic in Can-ada, our brand will “GE, GMO Free.” This is an exceptional differentiation.

A second compon-

ent of good market-ing is scarcity.

B.C. produces three per cent of the apple crop in North Amer-ica, Carlson’s own corporate research shows 41 per cent of apple consumers will not knowingly buy a GMO apple.

The success of the Ambrosia apple is just as Keith describes, B.C. grow-ers had supply and international markets wanted the apple-demand is greater than supply, prices reflect that curve.

By rejecting the Arctic, the BCFGA is wanting a repeat of the Ambrosia for all varieties of B.C. grown apples.

It does not take rocket science to fig-ure out that if you are the three per cent producer, selling to 41 per cent of the

demand, your apples and resulting prices will be at a premium.

The BCFGA says, let us have our No Arctic niche. We don`t mind being left off the bus, don`t want to be included in the GMO revitaliz-ation Keith projects.

Personally, I think the CFIA application should be withdrawn, (it is not inevitable, OSF can still act) which is the wish of the vast majority of B.C. growers.

In any event the BCFGA is correct in wanting to pursue sound marketing principles,

I only hope our local MLAs Mr. Ash-ton and Mr. Letnick, and our local MP`s Mr. Albas and Mr. Cannan are support-ive of their efforts.

Sarah Cornett-Ching, a racing driv-er from Summerland, will compete in a race in Mobile, Ala. later this month.

The race, on March 14, comes one month after she competed at the 3.2-kilometre Daytona track in Florida in the Dayto-na 200 stock car race.

“Daytona went really well despite a small ignition prob-lem right off the start of the race which put

us a few laps down,” she said.

“We rallied back and were able to stay in the draft and run with the lead lap cars after that.”

She is the only woman entered in the ARCA 200 race. She said the track is similar to the track where she raced in Penticton.

She will also com-pete at the Talladega Superspeedway race in Alabama on May 1.

Cornett-Ching has been racing since she was 12 and would like to compete at the top level of Nascar in the future.

Nascar is the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing.

It is the largest sanctioning body for stock car racing in the U.S., sanctioning more than 1,500 races at more than 100 tracks in the U.S. and Canada.

Full Circle Outlet, a nonprofit retail store in Summerland, has formed a partnership agreement with the Summerland Asset Development Initia-tive.

Under the partner-ship, SADI will be the charity of choice for Full Circle.

Jessica Nemeth, president of the Oka-nagan Community Development Soci-ety which operates the store, said Full Circle Outlet was created to provide funding for the com-munity.

The store on Vic-toria Road North

opened its doors in August, 2013. It offers liquidation items at

discounted prices.Initially the money

given to SADI will be small, but Nemeth expects to see signifi-cant contributions in the future.

“As we get rolling,

things will open up for us to help them,” she said.

S h e a d d e d that the funding a g r e e -m e n t r e f l e c t s the non-

profit store’s original intent.

Nemeth said the name Full Circle was chosen because money raised from the store is to be cir-culated within the

community.“We loved the

name because of its simple meaning,” she said. “We take the money full circle and put it back into the community.”

Ayman Kanaan,

president of the Summerland Asset Development Initia-tive board, said the arrangement will benefit the youth organization.

“We definitely need the money,” he

said. “We’re hoping to be able to provide more programs for the kids.”

There are more than 90 middle school and high school youths who are mem-bers of SADI.

Full Circle and SADI form partnership“We’re hoping to be able to provide more pro-grams for the kids.”

Outstanding busi-nesses, individuals and organizations received recognition at the 77th annual Summerland Busi-ness and Community Awards on Saturday evening.

The awards gala was organized by the Summerland Cham-ber of Commerce and held at the Sum-merland Waterfront Resort.

At left is Bob Wolleswinkel of the Legion. The Legion has supported the squadron for many years and is one of their biggest supporters. The money they donate goes directly to the cadets to provide extra-curricular activities that complement their mandatory training program. For more information about joining or supporting the cadets, please check out the website 902aircadets.ca or look us them on Facebook. Youth aged 12 to 18 are welcome to join the program Wednesday evenings from 6:15 to 9:30 p.m. at the Harold Simpson Youth Centre, 9111 Peach Orchard Rd.

mer to continue the improvements to the orphanage.

School District 67 adopted this organ-ization several years ago and supports it through building projects undertaken by the students of our district using funds raised by the students.

The Summer-land Novice 1 Jets wrapped their sticks in pink this weekend in support of one of their teammates.

Lauren Rogall’s mother Vicki Rogall has been scheduled to undergo breast cancer surgery in early March.

The pink was a show of sup-port, along with the salutes at the end of each weekend game during a tournament in Penticton.

“It made me feel so special and so loved and I don’t know how to thank you,” Vicki Rogall said in an email to the team after the game had started.

The Jets won three out of four games at the tournament.

Goal scorers included Simon Cecconi, Tegan Schuhmacher, Rus-sell Weatherhead, Tyson Lemke, Charlie O’Brien, Ky Martens and Michael Strang-man while goalies Denton Manders and Austin Mayer-Gillis held a firm line at the net.

Tip of the week: If after the stone is deliv-ered the stone does not completely cross the far hog line that stone is removed. If a stone comes into contact with a stone that is barely across the far hog line and still in play, and the delivered stone isn’t across the hog line, after contact with that stone; because it touched a stone in play it remains in play.

Junior curling is Wednesdays at 3:30 p.m. after school.

The guide has been delivered to all households in Sum-merland who receive ad mail. It also is available at the Sum-merland Aquatic and Fitness Centre and the Library.

The spring guide contains all the new schedules for the health club, aquatic centre and arena.

Especially import-ant are the spring break schedules for families looking for activities to do with their children for these two weeks off school.

We have added public skating on Tuesday and Thurs-days from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. in addition to Wednesdays from 7 to 8 p.m. and Sun-days from 3:30 to 4:45 p.m.

Recreation Department plans spring events

The Summer-land Rockets Senior Boys basketball team ended its season on a high note.

Playing at the Oka-nagan Valley finals in Kamloops Feb. 26 to 28, the Rockets played spoiler and almost advanced to the provincial cham-pionships.

Despite a dis-appointing opening day loss to Fulton Secondary of Vernon, the seventh-ranked Rockets bounced back with a 55-34 win over sixth-rated Pleasant Valley Sec-ondary of Armstrong, then shocked Pen-ticton powerhouse Princess Margaret Secondary 61-57.

Abhi Lekhi and Landon Brickenden led the 20-point comeback with 21

point games each. “A new team zone

defence confused the Mustangs and we

pulled out the game at the end,” said coach Dave Stathers.

It was Stathers’

first boys coaching win over Princess Margaret in 25 years.

Later in the day, the

Rockets faced fifth-ranked Westsyde Sec-ondary of Kamloops in the game to deter-

jumped out to an eight-point second

quarter lead, but struggled in the last four minutes of the fourth quarter and fell 58-47.

Lekhi was named the game star and says the result was “frustrating and dis-appointing, but the team worked really hard.”

He is especially proud of his Grade 12 teammates who are finishing their high school basketball careers: Neal Ruth-erford, Gurek Rath-ore, Sam Kane, Nik Wackerbauer, Taylor Ledoux, and Riley Ledoux.

Stathers said the team should feel proud of its accom-plishments finish-ing ahead of strong basketball schools like Oliver and Prin-cess Margaret.

Review

A club at Sum-merland Secondary School is working under the umbrella of the social enterprise organization, Me to We.

Members say the club’s focus is on trying to help the problems they see in the world, such as poverty, unclean water, hunger, home-lessness and bullying.

Several members of this local club recently held an awareness campaign on Anti-Bullying Day, also known as Pink Shirt Day.

“We made a big poster that said to stop the hate and take the pledge to not be a bystander,” said Dan Nixon. “Every time a person made a pledge on the wall, we gave them a pink cookie.”

The club members had baked 400 cook-ies for the event.

“We didn’t do any of the baking for money,” said Kai-

tlyn Nightingale. “We were giving out the cookies, trying to spread kindness which is opposite to the bullying.”

Many people won-der whether such anti-bullying initia-tives have made any difference in the actual number of inci-dences of bullying.

According to Teagen Kew they have.

“I think kids are more aware now,” she said. “When there wasn’t an anti-bully-ing day, bullying was seen as a prob-lem that wasn’t real and not a problem you could talk about. Now since there is a day that actually recognizes it, people feel they can come out and talk about it more than they use to do.”

The club members

explained that the form bullying takes has changed over the years. Physical bullying, the type that can be seen, has become a thing of the past. Cyber bullying is much more com-mon now. Essentially this is done by mak-ing mean comments on social media sites such as Facebook and Instagram. Bullies are able to even remain anonymous by creat-ing a false user name and profile.

Me to We members say social media sites also make it easier for the victims, since if they are embarrassed they are being bul-lied, they can hide it more easily.

There is reluctance among the young people to block or delete bullies from their list of friends, because the bully or

others may find out they have taken this action.

The fear is that this could lead to further repercussions from the bully.

There is also a sense of curiosity in that the victim wants to know what the bully may be saying, rather than not knowing at all.

In the minds of these young people, the best way to deal with this kind of bullying is to empow-er the victim.

“To control cyber bullying what we really need to do is to

encourage people to talk about it,” Teagen said. “We need to encourage people who see it on line to step in and encour-age the person who is being bullied and to encourage them to feel better about themselves.”

Mary Nightingale said the club’s main message was if they saw bullying to not stand by.

“If you don’t feel the courage to dir-ectly stop it, there are other ways, like telling an adult or anonymously getting

help for the person,” she said.

Mary also said she likes being in the Me to We club because she can directly see the changes they are making in the world and she can be a part of that change.

Last year the club helped to make quilts to send to Tanzania and when she saw the pictures of the chil-dren who received the quilts it made her feel good.

Her sister Alicia expressed much the same sentiment.

“What the club means to me is get-ting the opportunity to help people less fortunate than me and it’s good to do it with a group of people that want the same thing.”

Although this club is mostly self-directed it is not without leadership at the school.

“Miss [Jane] Stead and I are there to support their ideas and get them the resources they need,” explained French teacher Lindsay Anderson.

“We give them advice when they seek it, but most often just assist rather than tell them what to do. They are awesome, awesome kids,” she said.

By “it” I mean soap and/or a need to get the soap out.It started with a healthy intent. I went to the gym to exercise and afterward I was in the shower. During the cleansing process I managed to get shaving soap in my right eye, which stings, and I was wearing contact lenses so the soap didn’t rinse out terribly quickly, which stings for a longer stretch.Luckily I have a small canister of Vichy Thermal Spa Water in my gym bag. I say “luckily” because Vichy thermal water is safe and gentle to spray into one’s eyes and a sight more pleasant than using the hard tap-water coming out of the shower head.Vichy thermal water is sourced from a millennium old spring in the Vichy region of France and has been used to soothe, fortify and regenerate the skin. Its high mineral content refreshes and detoxifies your skin, reduces discomfort and soothes irritation. All of these qualities make Vichy Thermal Spa Water an excellent treatment for your skin.As I mentioned above, it’s also safe to spray into your eyes. I found the “reduces discomfort and soothes irritation” very appealing during my moment of need. I also use this as an after-shave-before-sunscreen treatment to soothe a freshly shaved face. These are my experiences, stop by Pharmasave and share yours. Or to find out more about Thermal Water, ask the Live Well team at Pharmasave Summerland.

Summerland Review Thursday, March 5, 2015 L i f e s t y L e www.summerlandreview.com 19

This May marks the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Kettle Valley Railway.

To commemorate this important histor-ical event in the his-tory of our commun-ity, the Summerland Art Gallery is calling for submissions to a juried show entitled Celebrating 100 Years of the KVR which will run from May 7 to June 20 at the Sum-merland Art Gallery, 9908 Main St.

Submissions to this community challenge may take any form, in any medium includ-ing, but not limited to: drawings, paint-ings, sculpture, and mixed media.

Deadline for sub-mission is April 15 and submissions can be made in person at the Summerland Arts Centre at 9908 Main St or by email to [email protected] or by mail

to Box 1217, Summer-land, B.C., V0H 1Z0.

If you are curious about the history of the KVR why not attend Friday even-ing’s Summerland Museum AGM which is being held at the IOOF Hall.

They have invited historian Joe Smuin to be their guest speaker and he will be talking about the history of the railway.

You might also want to check out A Very Canadian Rail-road: The Story of the Kettle Val-ley Railway at the Penticton Museum and Archives. You can find out more on their Facebook page. Facebook.com/pages/Pentic-ton-Museum-and-Archives. And, of course there is a great model train layout at our own Summer-land Museum.

However, nothing

beats the real thing. And our very own Kettle Valley Steam Railway will be oper-ating an Easter train on April 4. The regu-lar season will open on May 16 and there will be a special cen-tennial train ride on Sunday, May 31.

We are fortunate to have one of Brit-ish Columbia’s few remaining fully oper-ational steam rail-ways. Although the line once stretched from Midway to

Hope there is now just 16 kilometres of this historic rail line remaining — and that portion is here in Summerland.

The Kettle Valley Steam Railway has indeed proven that abandoned railways can indeed have a new life, and a very successful one too.

The Summerland Philosophers’ Cafe being held next Wed-nesday evening at the IOOF Hall will focus on life beyond our present existence. Why not join retired UBC professor Rene Goldman for Resur-rection and Reincar-nation: Is there life beyond our present existence?

David Finnis is the publicity chair and president of the Summerland Com-munity Arts Council, P.O. Box 1217, 9908 Main St., Summer-land, B.C. V0H 1Z0.
