The best days ever are the childhood ones at the lake. Here Halee McLeod enjoys what we’d all like to be doing on a summer day.
A proposed change in federal electoral boundaries could have a big impact on Summerland. The redrawn lines would cut Summerland off from Penticton and the rest of the South Okanagan. Summerland would be the southernmost point in a new riding of Central Okanagan-Coquihalla which would include Kelowna. Summerland Mayor Janice Perrino said the change would be “quite a shocking difference.” “This affects Summerland hugely,” she said at last week’s municipal council meeting. “We do all our business with Penticton,” noting links with governing organizations such as Penticton Regional Hospital and Okanagan Skaha School District 67 as well as commerce. She said she understands how such boundary proposals come about, when people unfamiliar with the area try to divide it up by population. “People sit down and look at a map.” Summerland council has directed its staff to prepare a written notice to advise the B.C. Federal Boundaries Commission that council is not in favour of the changes in the proposed boundaries and electoral districts. The notice also says the mayor and council would like to participate in the commission’s public hearing set for Oct. 9 at the Penticton Lakeside Resort. See PROPOSED Page 3
Scenes for film shot locally Summerland scenes were shot last week for a 3-D short film about the Stanley Cup. Stanley Cup Odyssey is being made for the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. Most of the scenes were filmed at the the historic Memorial Arena in Penticton.
The Summerland scenes included a house on Washington Avenue and an area near College Road. Stanley Cup Odyssey tells the story of a group of young men who play their regular pick-up game at the local arena with skill and grace,
while they share their own personal favourite Stanley Cup moments. As the players reminisce and attempt to emulate their hockey heroes, the on-ice action will transition to Stanley Cup goals scored by the game’s most iconic players: Wayne Gretz-
ky, Mario Lemieux and Bobby Orr. A mix of original live action, computer generated animation and classic archival footage of some of the most renowned moments in Stanley Cup history will be showcased in the film. Stanley Cup winner and B.C. native,
Ryan Walter, is assisting with the on-ice co-ordination. Darren Mann, who is a cast member in the film, played hockey with the Summerland Sting when he was 15 and a few games with the Penticton Vees.
