Police are continuing their investigation into an ongoing series of mail thefts.

The thefts began in mid-December as thieves have pried open community mailboxes.

Cpl. Bruce Haley of the Summerland RCMP detachment said police have identified suspects.

Similar thefts have been reported elsewhere in the Okanagan Valley, including in Kelowna and Penticton.

In addition to the loss of cash sent in holiday cards, police say the thefts have also included personal identification, credit cards and financial data.

Haley said a thief with a stolen credit card can activate the card and begin using it.

Those who have personal information such as banking details and identification documents can use that information to access money in bank accounts.

“The bad people out there, this is how they make their living,” Haley said, “and they’re very good at it.”

Identity thieves seek personal information including a person’s full name, date of birth, Social Insurance Number, address, mother’s maiden name, driver’s license number, credit card information, financial information and account numbers, signature, passport information and usernames, online passwords and personal identification numbers.

With this information, criminals are able to access bank accounts, open new accounts, transfer money, apply for loans and credit cards, make purchases, obtain passports and receive government benefits.

Haley urges residents to take measures so they are not victims of mail thefts.

“People have to be a little wise,” he said.

For those receiving mail at community boxes, he suggests picking up the mail every day.

Receiving financial information such as bills and bank statements electronically can also help to reduce the dangers from a mail theft.

Thursday, January 22, 2015 Summerland Review

Classic story staged as a musical Students at Summerland Secondary School will present the musical Beauty and the Beast next month.

Heather Ayris, drama teacher at the high school, said the musical involves a large ensemble, with 80 students involved on stage and behind the scenes.

“That’s quite a chunk of our student population,” she said.

Ayris said the

show involves elaborate costumes and sets.

“It’s supposed to be one of the most expensive shows on Broadway,” she said.

The show features many musical numbers and a huge ensemble cast, but those involved include many outstanding vocalists.

In addition to the large cast, Ayris said the production is challenging because

of the shorter school year.

The provincewide teachers’ strike delayed the start of the school year until late September. As a result, the school year has been shortened and the musical will not be staged until the second half of February.

The school stages a large-scale drama production each winter.

Alumni who have

been involved in past dramas have gone on to professional theatre and performing careers. Others are studying in London, Los Angeles, Montreal and Victoria.

Beauty and the Beast opens Feb. 18 at Centre Stage Theatre and continues Feb. 19 to 21 and 25 to 27, with closing night on Feb. 28.

Tickets are available at the high school and at the Beanery.

Belle, played by McKenzie Vandertoolen and Gaston, played by Curtis Detchkoff, are among the actors in Summerland Secondary School’s production of Beauty and the Beast.

Housing price increase forecast

by Jeff Nagel Black Press

Housing prices in B.C. should rise modestly this year after stronger gains in 2014, according to a new forecast by Central 1 Credit Union.

The association of B.C. credit unions predicts a 2.5 per cent increase in resale home prices in 2015 and similar increases of between two and three per cent out as far as 2018.

Bryan Yu, senior economist with Central 1, sees continued strength in urban real estate markets.

His report predicts the collapse in the price of oil will be generally positive for real estate markets, because it leaves more discretionary money in consumers’ pockets.

Metered billing begins next month

Conversion from flat rate water charges took five years

by John Arendt

When the next municipal water bills are sent out in early February, water consumption will be charged based on a metered rate.

The change in billing is a departure from the flat rate water billing Summerland has used in

the past.

Lorrie Coates, director of finance for the municipality, said the new bills will begin with a $24 charge for the water service and a fee of 26 cents for each cubic metre, to the first 25 cubic metres or 25,000 litres.

Additional water consumption is $1 for each cubic metre.

These fees are charged after the early payment discount.

Most residents will not reach 25 cubic metres of water consumption during non-irrigation months, Coates said.

As a result, the costs of inside water use will be smaller than under the flat rate system.

“During the nonirrigation months, most bills are going to be lower,” she said.

At present, most homes in Summerland have the meters in place, but a few

property owners — fewer than 20 — have insisted on a meter installed outside of their homes.

Coates said these pit meters should all be installed by the end of January.

In addition, some non-farm properties have two water services, one for domestic use and one for irrigation use.

The domestic lines are already metered, but the method of dealing with the

second lines is still under consideration.

The switch from a flat rate water meter charge to a metering system took more than five years as the previous municipal councils and members of municipal staff sought to create as fair a system as possible.

“The intent was to be as close to revenue neutral as we could get it,” Coates said.

For the past year, Summerlanders have

Lawyer needs more time to review case Next court date for Summerland man Feb. 4 Black Press A lawyer representing a former Summerland pizza shop employee charged with four sex offences has asked for more time to review the case against his client.

Joshua James Roberts, 38, is charged with sexual exploita-

tion, possession of child pornography, invitation to sexual touching and using a computer to lure a child under 18, plus an additional count of assault with a weapon.

Defence counsel Ryu Okayama appeared before a justice of the peace Wednesday in provincial court in Penticton and asked for more time to look over disclosure from the Crown, which

included a thick stack of papers he was handed during the hearing.

Josh T h e Roberts matter is due back in court Feb.

4. Roberts, who was charged in December 2014, has not yet entered any pleas.

He’s alleged to have committed the offences against a person under the age of 18 between March 1, 2011, and Sept. 1, 2013.

A publication ban applies to any infor-

mation that would tend to identify the complainant.

Roberts, whose father created the Murray’s Pizza chain, was the face of the business in the South Okanagan and worked at the Summerland location, but is no longer with the company.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Business Methods Patents In the U.S., it is now possible to protect not only the products you sell by a patent but also the way you do business. The U.S. Patent Office now recognizes "Business Method Patents". This patent allows a Company to protect successful methods of doing business.

An example of this new patent law is found with Dell Computers. They have applied for and received a Business Methods Patent for their direct to consumer and build to order sales approach.

Most people associate Patent Law and patents with tangible goods. This new area of Patent Law goes far beyond that. Given the pace of technology and the very high stakes in business these days, it is easy to see why business people are taking all the steps they can to protect themselves.

Identity thefts An ongoing rash of mail thefts in Summerland and around the Okanagan Valley should have residents concerned.

Since mid-December, community mailboxes around the community have been pried open and mail has been taken.

If the thefts were nothing more than the loss of cash sent through the mail, they would be little more than an annoyance.

Mail theft is a much more serious issue because of the information at risk.

Government documents such as passports and driver’s licences are sent through the mail. Credit cards and debit cards are mailed to account holders. And many have their bank statements, credit card bills and other financial documents sent by mail.

Using this information, as well as information in various bills, a thief may be able to access bank accounts, run up credit card charges, apply for loans or transfer money using their victims’ names.

Identity theft is a serious matter and those targeted can spend months working to undo the damages.

Police in Summerland and elsewhere in the Okanagan have been investigating the recent rash of mail thefts and charges are expected.

The most important approach however is to ensure the thefts do not occur in the first place.

Police urge everyone with a community mailbox to check their mail daily.

For those who go away for the winter, it is wise to have all mail held at the post office, not delivered and left to sit in the mailbox.

And, as is the case with any crimes, those who see suspicious activity should report it to the police.

The theft of mail is a potentially serious matter.

Preventing it from happening is far easier than dealing with the fallout after one’s personal identity has been compromised.

With the snowy weather this winter, it is important to thank those who help with ploughing driveways and clearing snow.

After the heavy snowfall earlier this month, Rob Arnt of Faulder and a neighbour worked to clear snow in the area.

Such efforts are appreciated.

If you know someone who has helped clear the snow for their neighbours this winter, please take the time to thank them for their work.

Hippy science is easy, and wrong VICTORIA – Did you do a “cleanse” to start the year? A diet or supplements to, you know, “detox” your body?

Please, if you did, I don’t want the details. I’m here to discuss the underlying assumptions of this fad. TV presenter Dr. Oz is a promoter of various schemes, soup diets and the like, but there are many books and consumer products being flogged.

“Supplements, tea, Tom Fletcher homeopathy, coffee enemas, ear candles and foot baths promise you a detoxified body,” writes Ontario pharmacist Scott Gavura, who treats cancer patients with medicine’s most potent drugs.

Frustrated by the pharmacy industry’s willingness to cash in on fake cures for nonexistent conditions, Gavura began contributing to ScienceBasedMedicine.org, where you can search “detox” find his takedown of this notion.

He traces the roots of purification rituals in religious and medical history, such as when patients were bled with leeches.

Actual “detox” is administered in hospital for those with dangerous levels of drugs, alcohol or other poisons.

Credible physicians abandoned theories of “autointoxication” in the 19th century.

“Today’s version of autointoxication argues that some

combination of food additives, salt, meat, fluoride, prescription drugs, smog, vaccine ingredients, GMOs and perhaps last night’s bottle of wine are causing a buildup of ‘toxins’ in the body,” Gavura writes. “And don’t forget gluten. Gluten is the new evil and therefore, is now a toxin.”

Gluten-free products now occupy whole sections of grocery stores, not far from the pricey “organic” produce that may or may not be tested for synthetic pesticides.

Living in the Lower Mainland 20 years ago, I noticed people lugging big plastic jugs to the grocery store to fill with water.

Metro Vancouver is a rainforest, with some of the best tap water in the world, so I wondered what they were trying to avoid.

Discreet inquiries yielded similar answers.

Aside from the odd superstition about chlorine or fluoride, they had no idea at all.

They didn’t know about the Coquitlam reservoir, or ozonation, or what they were buying, which was essentially municipal water run through a filter.

They had been convinced to pay $2 for water in plastic bottles, and this somehow led to the conclusion that their tap water is only fit for washing clothes and driveways.

Vaccinations? Don’t get me started. In the past year I have had an argument with a registered nurse at a blood donor clinic, annoyed that the health

ministry denied her imagined “right” to infect frail patients with influenza, and with a veteran politician who only recently overcame a vague taboo against putting vaccines in her body.

It’s no wonder people constantly fall for enviro-scares like toxins from the Alberta oil sands that are actually concentrated in cities where all that fuel is burned, or the threat of genetically modified canola oil, or smart meters.

The media are frequently part of the problem, lacking scientific literacy and preferring conflict over common sense.

Take Vancouver (please).

The mayor rose to fame with a company that sold overpriced imported tropical fruit juice in single-serving plastic bottles.

Calling it “Happy Planet” convinced a new generation of urban rubes that they’re doing something for the environment.

Plus, there are “no chemicals” in it, to cite the central myth of hippy science.

At the risk of giving you too much information, I did a cleanse last year.

It was for a screening colonoscopy, one of many that have taxed the B.C. health care system since a new test was added to the standard medical checkup.

Try that one if you’re over 50.

culls

As Summerlanders debate smart meters and the potential risks from these devices, the debate must remain civil.

From the letters we have seen and from the comments we have heard, there is significant interest in this topic, and it is worthy of discussion.

The discussion must begin and end with the meters and their effects.

Calling into question the character of people who have opinions on either side, as some have done, is not acceptable.

Food Bank received community support Dear Editor: As the president of the Summerland Food Bank and Resource Centre I would like to acknowledge the generosity so many exhibit.

In 2014, in addition to operational grants from the District of Summerland and the United Way, we received cash donations from 145 individuals and families, 22 businesses, 19 service clubs and community groups, five employee groups, five churches and three schools.

Your donations of food make up the bulk of what we are able to distribute. In 2014 we received 833 food donations comprised of 11,100 pounds from individuals and food drives, 5,700 pounds

from food stores and restaurants, 3,450 pounds through gift cards and 550 pounds from Food Banks Canada.

Food was distributed to 558 clients (382 adults and 176 children in 246 household units).

Our households include 104 singles, 37 couples, 59 single parent families and 42 two-parent families. They included 66 receiving disability benefits, 62 earning income from employment and 43 receiving welfare.

In May 2013 we opened our resource centre containing a library of resource materials, free computer and Internet services, two offices shared by social service agencies to meet with their Summer-

land clients, a laundry room and an accessible washroom with shower. The washroom and laundry facilities, added in 2014, were paid for by the Summerland Rotary Club with the Summerland Kinsmen donating the laundry equipment.

In 2014, 217 clients used the computers, 139 met with a social service agency in our offices, 74 received emergency food, 28 used our fax machine, six received help with job searches, 14 used the shower and 29 used the laundry.

There are about 50 board members and volunteers.

Board members take care of accounting, grant applications, food purchasing, public relations, fundraising and events. Other

Input from experts needed in debate over smart meters Dear Editor: I am an electrical engineer with a masters degree in power systems and more than 40 years of experience. I teach a power systems course to graduating engineers at UBC-O where I am also registered as a PhD student.

I read the letters by Mr Karow, Mr Sielmann and Ms Whitehead.

I noted comments (Karow) on a paper rejected by the B.C. Utilities Commission.

The presentation was based on papers, none of which were peer reviewed and many of which contained only opinions or unproven theories. Many of the references appeared to be written by people with strong opinions and little knowledge.

And then — inconsistency.

Protesters seem to carry cell phones or tablets.

A smart meter, mounted outside a home, transmits periodically with a power of

about one watt. The radiation from a cell phone, at five watts, will expose a person to more than 600,000 times the radiation that will come from a smart meter that runs only periodically.

Consumer electronics is another issue. Notebook computers, iPods and tablets are equipped with transmitters that send and receive signals.

The best comparison is our sun.

The sun is a nuclear fusion reaction that has been ongoing for centuries. Our only radiation shield is the atmosphere and natural magnetic field.

These features block part of the incoming radiation. Much of it reaches the ground.

A young lady asked about the smart meter on her home.

She was concerned about potential impacts on her baby.

Calculations showed the monitor was delivering more than 500,000 times more intensity than the smart meter, and the

baby monitor was transmitting continuously.

She wanted to eliminate the monitor but realized that her mother had used one on her crib, with no issues. She kept the smart meter.

I saw the letter from Kathryn Whitehead, suggesting she wanted biological information from experts in biology. I agree with that position. I have not checked the references she gave, but I know the IEEE has many papers done in conjunction with experts in fields outside engineering. None have showed problems. The IEEE is likely the largest organization of its kind.

Opting out should be allowed, and many utilities offer this.

Are we serious about a society that hides in a cellar and cannot use the electronics that makes our life what it is?

Days of auld lang syne

Brothers Gilbert and Percy Thornber arrived in Summerland from Great Britain in 1904 and their sister Elsie, pictured here in 1914, occasionally came for a visit with their parents. Their Scottish ties were evidenced by her dress and the fact that Percy retired to Scotland in 1954. It may even be presumed that the family celebrated Robbie Burn’s birthday in January. (The lovely tartan sash she is wearing would go a long way to concealing an overindulgence of haggis at a traditional Robbie Burns Supper.) A street in Trout Creek (where the brothers had an orchard) is named after the family for their contributions to Summerland in, as Robert Burns would say, auld lang syne (days of long ago.) Happy Robbie Burns Day!

Discussion forum is needed for public debates Dear Editor: I would like to thank Kathryn Whitehead for her response to my letter of Jan. 8. It illustrates one of the fundamental problems with this kind of public debate: intended or accidental misinterpretation of

the author’s message.

I never asserted that there would be no adverse health effects from electromagnetic radiation emitted by wireless devices such as cell phones. How could I? There are too many variables.

The point of my letter was that due to their fixed location outside our homes and their very short, low-power emissions smart meters do not pose danger to our health.

Cell phones on the other hand transmit

for long periods of time and at much greater energy levels.

In addition to that, cell phones are typically kept very close to our bodies where their energy is not attenuated.

Many studies have been conducted to bet-

ter understand potential health effects. So far the results are not conclusive.

It is really important to differentiate between these two types of equipment which I was careful to ensure.

Well researched,

objective studies do the same.

It would be nice to have a discussion forum for topics of local interest. Perhaps our new library could offer such a space.

Would council like to give this some thought and

talk to the Okanagan Regional Library Board?

There are many well-informed residents who should be given an opportunity for free, constructive dialog.

construction techniques and vehicles are going “green”, how is it that this method of heating is still allowed in the city residential areas?

I’m certain other neighbours in the area and also in other subdivisions would agree and feel the same about my concerns.

The missing ingredient in healthy eating goals

Most people have a pretty good idea of what it takes to eat healthy: lots of fruits and vegetables, cut down on highly processed foods, avoid too many fried goodies and drink plenty of non-sugary fluids.

And many of us are well versed in the benefits of having a healthy diet. In a survey commissioned by the Canadian Medical Association, Canadians agreed that healthy eating can reduce health problems associated with aging (93 per cent), that it can add years to life (92 per cent), that it helps to prevent disease (90 per cent) and that it helps one deal with everyday stress (83 per cent).

And yet still more than 50 per cent of Canadians are not meeting the minimum intakes of fruits and vegetables and almost four out of every 10 are likely consuming too much fat in their diets.

So what’s getting in the way?

Among the top factors: Time.

In the same survey, nearly 40 per cent said it’s hard to find time to eat healthy

food, while over a third felt that healthy food takes too long to prepare. In our crazy busy lives, many of us have left little room to care for ourselves at the most basic level- to properly nourish our bodies.

Choosing to eat healthy and lovingly nourishing our bodies on a regular basis certainly does take commitment. However, with just a few simple tips you might be surprised just how fast and easy it really can be.

Use these simple tips to get you started: Prepare extra.

When preparing your meals chop up extra fruit and vegetables so you have some on hand for lunches or quick snacks. Cook double the chicken or ground meats and keep them for wraps, salads or sandwiches the next day.

Double batch your soups, stews or casseroles and freeze the extra for a quick meal on busy nights.

Try the new selections of washed and ready-to-eat produce items. Salad mixes, stir-fry veggies, carrot or broccoli slaws and pre-veggies that

can make meal preparation super speedy.

Choose lowersodium convenience foods. Try canned or bottled tomato-based pasta sauces, frozen or canned vegetables and fruit, canned tuna or salmon and canned beans or lentils. Keeping a variety of frozen vegetables on hand can be an easy way to boost up soups, sauces and casseroles with minimum fuss.

Invest in timesaving appliances. A blender can help you make quick and easy smoothies, sauces or soups.

A slow cooker is a great way to come home to a warm meal.

Use a mini-chopper to dice up garlic and onions.

With a little experimentation you may find that you have all the ingredients you need for your recipe of healthy eating, including time.

Canada Post responding to mail thefts Continued from Page 1

Carley Smith, manager of media relations with Canada Post, said the postal system is working to deal with the thefts in the Okanagan Valley.

“Canada Post takes the security of mail very seriously,” she said. “In response to isolated incidents, we have reinforced and replaced a number of boxes throughout the lower mainland.

At the same time, we continue to work

Funding for youth

The Summerland Credit Union presented a cheque for $720 to the Summerland Asset Development Initiative. The money was raised from the sale of plush raccoons. The Credit Union sold the plush animals for $12 each, with $10 of that amount going to the youth organization. From left are Sarina Smith, Sarah Patton and Susy Austin of the Credit Union, Ericka Bidwell, Angus Hume, administrative coordinator Alyson Lindsay and Scott Anderson of the youth organization and Herlinda Burt of the Credit Union.

Celebrations mark start of the new year

Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu (Happy New Year!)! Last month I talked about the differences between Japanese Christmas and New Years and compared them to the western way. It is quite different in many ways – the focus that is on Christmas in Canada is on New Years in Japan.

New Year’s Eve is by far the most important time of the year in Japan, and people usually spend it with their families – drinking sake, eating soba (popular soup with noodles made of buckwheat; the length of the noodles represents long life) and watching a popular TV show together.

New Year’s Day is spent visiting local temples. People go and donate money via saisembako (a wooden box placed at the entrance of the altar).

The money donated is traditionally a five-yen coin (about five cents) because it is gold in colour. However, any coin is accepted. After you throw the coin in, you clap your hands, bow, and make a wish.

Afterwards, people can go to another wooden box, and pay 100-yen for a omikuji (fortune.)

After visiting shrines, people will spend the rest of the day inside with family drinking sake

Notes from toyokoro

Anna Marshall and eating osechi, a box fill with different foods; all have different meanings.

I did most of this

on New Year’s Day. At the entrance of the Obihiro Shrine they sold food from stalls.

While most of it was meat, I was still able to find a corn on the cob cooked on a grill.

At the entrance to every shrine, there is a temizuya (a water cleansing place for washing your hand and mouth.) Usually this is quite refreshing, but this time of the year it’s covered in ice, and even though there’s steam rising from it, it is quite cold.

I entered the shrine,

walking under the Torii Gate (the archway in the entrance of shrines,) donated money, and made a wish. I then bought a fortune, and ended up with the best one people can get! Hopefully, this will be a great year.

Steam add one win and two losses The Summerland Steam have secured a playoff spot in Junior B hockey action.

Over the past week, the team added one win and two losses.

On Jan. 13, the Steam travelled to Kelowna to face the Chiefs in a 5-3 loss.

The evening began badly for the Steam as the Chiefs were awarded a penalty shot just 40 seconds into the game.

The Steam responded with a goal at 8:58 when Cole Woodliffe scored, assisted by Braden Eliuk and Jack Mills.

In the second per-

iod, three Kelowna goals established the Chiefs’ lead.

The third period saw the Steam narrow the gap.

At 18:35, Eliuk scored for Summerland, assisted by Michael McEachern.

Then at 16:56, Cody Egilson scored with assists by Nicholas Gnazdowsky and Kendell Wilson.

The Chiefs had the final goal at 1:25 with an empty net goal on a power play.

On Friday, the team hosted the North Okanagan Knights, playing to a 4-3 overtime win.

The game began with a shorthanded goal for the Steam at 5:16 when Cole Woodliffe scored unassisted.

North Okanagan responded with a goal at 0:45 to tie the game.

Summerland bobsleigh athlete Justin Kripps and Bryan Barnett won their second career World Cup medal at the

Konigssee track in Germany, earning a bronze medal.

“I had good start times and good runs so everything came

In the second period, the Knights took the lead with a power play goal at 16:15.

Summerland responded at 15:21 when Paulsen Lautard scored on a power play. Woodliffe and Tyler Klingspohn assisted.

Another Steam power play goal at 2:32 gave Summerland the lead.

McEachern scored with assists from Lautard and Klingspohn.

In the third period, the Knights brought the game to a tie with a goal at 11:55.

The overtime goal came at 1:06 when Lautard scored, assisted by Jack Mills.

On Sunday, the Steam suffered a 6-1 loss against the Coyotes in Osoyoos.

Summerland’s only goal in that game came at 3:33 in the first period when Woodliffe scored,

assisted by Mills and Eliuk.

In the second period, the Coyotes took the lead with a power play goal at 4:42 followed by a second goal at 4:26.

Two power play goals in the third period, at 18:05 and 6:08, and two more goals, at 5:55 and 2:05, reinforced the win.

The next action for the Steam is on Friday, Jan. 23 when the team will face the North Okanagan Knights in Armstrong.

The next home game is on Tuesday, Jan. 27 when the team hosts the Coyotes.

The game begins at 7:30 p.m.

At present Summerland has 25 wins, 15 losses and two overtime losses in the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference: Okanagan Division of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League.

together,” Kripps said. “I love Konigssee. I like the flow of the track. There is a great atmosphere here with lots of fans.

The music is playing and the track just fits my driving style.”

A year ago, the two captured gold at the same track, weeks before the 2014 Olympic Winter Games.

This year, they finished in third place.

Their two-run time was 1:42.19.

“I feel confident on all the tracks we race, but I just have a good feeling here,” Kripps said.

“I am able to blast out of those S curves with lots of speed and you need to do that to be successful here.”

The race was a close one. Beat Hefti and Alex Baumann of Switzerland finished first with a time of

In 2010, Kripps was part of Canadian Pierre Lueders’ fourman team, finishing with four World Cup podiums.

This year his goal is to be a medal contender each week on the elite circuit.

“This is one of those years we are working on a number of things, but this is an awesome boost for our program to get a medal,” said Kripps.

“It has been a year since men’s bobsleigh in Canada has been on the podium so this is great for our team.”

An area that often struggles to have representation is teen programming. Many teens are busy with school activities or sports and do not have the budget to take classes. When participation is low, classes get cancelled.

Obesity and inactivity rates continue to climb among youth and teens. Statistics Canada reports that approximately one in five teens are classified as overweight or obese. Teens’ health is at risk.

This is where ParticipAction steps in.

Joanne Malar been a recipient of two Teen Challenge grants. Over the past year $1,000 has been put towards offering Teen Yoga classes at no or minimal cost.

We had 16 teens sign up for our first round of free yoga sessions.

We brought in a well-established certified Dru Yoga instructor Cindy Tomochko to offer these classes to our teens.

Tomochko explains, “Teens are moving through a critical time of rapid growth and change which can be exciting. However with that, also stressful. The yoga has provided a safe, supportive and nourishing place to explore their potential through encouraging growing self-awareness, developing selfesteem as well as enhanced flexibility, strength, stamina, energy, concentration and with all that, better sleeps. With the experience of yoga, comes the ability to handle this inevitable stress that is a part of living and maturing into the young adults they are becoming.

Interpersonal relationships with family and friends are also supported

and enhanced with their increased ability to care for themselves in a genuine way.

Better self-care and increased focus/concentration also helps with the learning process, school work and other activities they may enjoy.”

“Yoga has been a benefit to me in many ways. It has reduced my stress levels, increased my strength and flexibility, and helped me remain present in everyday life,” Teen Challenge participant Gabrielle Lucier says.

We currently are holding our second round of Teen Yoga sessions on Tuesdays from 4 to 5:15 p.m. at the Arena Banquet Room. It runs until March 10.

There is still room in the class for any teens interested in joining. Simply register at the recreation office.

The grant has also allowed the recreation department to purchase enough yoga mats for the entire class. The mats will be an ongoing fixture for future teen yoga classes.

Paul loved music. Many family trips were spent singing and whistling as a “guess that tune” game. He sang bass in the Baptist choir, participated in Singers and Players on stage and creating sets. As well as his love to step out dancing with Maureen, Paul stepped out volunteering with many hands on acts of support and kindness. His twinkle, fun loving and mischievous grin will be greatly missed.

Paul leaves behind a heritage of faithfulness, selflessness, responsibility, hard work, abundant patience and love. The family acknowledges the tender and supportive care shown Paul by the staff of Dr. Andrew’s Pavilion ECU. Memorial tributes in Paul’s honour may be directed to ‘Friends of the Gardens’ Box 1363, Summerland, B.C. V0H 1Z0 or to the Summerland Minor Hockey Association, Box 1548, Summerland B.C. V0H 1Z0 Join the family in celebration and remember the life we all shared with Paul this coming spring, Saturday March 14th, 1pm. at the Summerland Alliance Church, 14820 N. Victoria Rd. Pastor Rick Gay officiating.

“Please let the light that shone on me, shine on the ones I love” Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com

Concert to feature early instruments

In concert

Musicians Cuyler Page, left, Tracy Fehr, Dennis Nordlund, Elizabeth Lupton and Bob Parks will be performing a South Okanagan concert series, Baroque and Beyond, Jan. 30 to Feb. 1. The Summerland concert will be on Friday, Jan. 30.

Masterworks Ensemble, a quintet of Okanagan classical musicians, will perform three concerts in Summerland, Penticton and Oliver at the end of January.

In addition to piano, organ, guitar, violin, viola and voice, the concert will feature early music selections on the bass dulcian, the viola da gamba and the baroque violin.

“The baroque violin is a precursor to the modern violin,” said musician Elizabeth Lupton, who specializes in baroque music (1600 to 1750s) and will be playing her baroque violin for the period pieces.

“With its gut strings and lighter touch, the baroque violin produces an organic, intimate and appealing sound, which is both delicious and exciting.”

In addition to the baroque music of Vivaldi, Handel, Torelli and Isabella Leonarda, the concert will also highlight

the music of Carulli, Mozart and more with duos and trios

by Molino, Holst and Villa Lobos.

Masterworks Ensemble features accomplished musicians.

Tracy Fehr of Summerland, a lyric coloratura soprano, has held numerous recitals and concerts across Canada and abroad.

Elizabeth Lupton, on violin/viola, is a member of the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra who has performed and recorded with Tafelmusik, Pacific Baroque, and Musick Baroque.

Dennis Nordlund, on piano/organ, performs throughout the Okanagan as a soloist and accompanist for vocalists, choirs, instrumentalists and theatrical productions.

Masterworks Ensemble is joined by classical guitarist Bob Parks and Cuyler Page, an

early music specialist.

The Summerland concert will be held on Friday, Jan. 30 at 7:30 p.m. at the Lakeside Presbyterian Church, 5505 Butler St. Tickets are available at the door.

For more information about this concert, contact Tracy Fehr at 250-486-5073.

The Penticton concert will be held on Saturday, Jan. 31 at 7:30 p.m. at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, 1370 Church St. Tickets are available at the door and at the Penticton and District Arts Council, 220 Manor Park Ave. Contact Dennis Nordlund at 250-8095732.

The final concert will be held in Oliver on Sunday, Feb. 1 at 2 p.m. at the Oliver Lutheran Centre, 6431 Okanagan St. Tickets for this matinee are available at the door. Contact Bob and Brita Parks at 250-498-8889.

Arts Council holds annual meeting The Summerland Community Arts Council will be holding its Annual General Meeting on Saturday, Feb. 28 at the Arts Centre, 9908 Main St. As with all volunteer based organizations in Summerland the Arts Council is always seeking new members for its board and as volunteers to help with various projects throughout the year.

We welcome anyone who wants to help us support and enhance the arts in our community. Artistic talent is not a requirement. (Ask the current president.)

Board meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month and committees meet as required throughout the year.

Many of the volunteer tasks needed can be done on a seasonal basis, such as street banner painting is done in the spring, Art Walk in July and August and Seasons Sparkles in November and December.

The Summerland Community Arts Council also operates an Art Gallery and requires sitters to greet guests and watch over the Gallery during open hours.

We also have a highly successful gift gallery that sells works by local artists and volunteers are needed for this as well.

So if you have retail experience or would like to gain some retail experience a few hours a week, volunteering in our gift gallery would greatly benefit the local arts community as commissions from these sales help fund the various programs offered by the Arts Council.

The Arts Council also needs volunteers to help plan the Summer Art Program and the various work-

Arts PAlette

David Finnis shops that are held for children, youth and adults throughout the year.

You can find out more about all the programs offered by the Arts Council by dropping into the

Arts Centre at 9908 Main St. and speaking with office manager Karan Bowyer or by checking out the SCAC website at summerlandarts. com.

If you are interested in serving on the board please email or call me (David Finnis, SCAC President) at 250-4043225 artspalette@ summerlandarts.com The Arts Palette column is written by David Finnis, publicity chair and president of the Summerland Community Arts Council, P.O.

The town of Summerland is blessed with having “Snow Angels,” people who shovel snow for others. The community of Faulder has them too.

After a particularly heavy snowfall earlier this month, Rob Arnt and a couple of his friends spent the better part of two days ploughing out the neighbourhood.

Arnt and his next door neighbour own a loader together and use it to clear snow from their own driveways.

“On Sunday I ploughed our driveways,” Arnt explained. “On Monday I woke up and there was another foot of snow!”

Just as he finished ploughing the drive-

friends.

Arnt spoke of the element of surprise when one receives an act of kindness.

“Anyone that expects something probably won’t get it and will be disappointed if they don’t. The surprise of something is way better because they’re not expecting it.”

In regards to spending another day out ploughing snow, Arnt said “It just happened. When you see someone that needs a hand, you give them a hand.”

There were other folks in Faulder who were out helping

their neighbours too.

“Everybody was out doing for everybody. It’s a community thing,” said Arnt.

“That’s what life is all about. I don’t think you’ve lived if you haven’t helped people out.”

Over the years Arnt said that he had experienced people giving him a helping hand, so he enjoys doing things for others as a way of giving back. He also said he thought it was a bit “weird” to be having his good deed publicized.

“When I grew up I can remember people helping out, and us

going and helping out people,” he said.

“You just did it. I was brought up that way.

I think that’s the way it should be.”

Arnt also expressed how lucky he was to have people in his life that supported him, when he chose to be helpful to others.

“My girlfriend wasn’t upset that I was out ploughing snow,” he said.

The neighbour who is a co-owner of the loader also seemed to support his efforts.

“I told him I worked the loader for two days and didn’t make a dime

and said I hope you don’t mind…and he gave me a high five,” explained Arnt.

As Arnt and his two buddies went around the neighbourhood clearing snow, the words they heard most often from people were, “Thanks! How much do we owe you?”

“Nothing,” they responded. “Buy us a beer sometime.”
