Summerland man charged with assault
by Joe FriesBlack Press
A local psychiatrist is “lucky to be alive” after he was allegedly attacked Fri-day afternoon while inter-viewing a patient at Pentic-ton Regional Hospital.
Summerland man Greg-ory Stanley Nield, 30, has since been charged with assault causing bodily harm and aggravated assault. He made his first appearance at the Penticton courthouse on Tuesday where the court ordered a 30-day psychiatric assessment to be completed at the Forensic Psychiatric Institute in Port Coquitlam.
Nield looked at family and friends at the back of the courtroom for most of his brief appearance. Through his lawyer he apologized for his appearance stating, “he nor-mally doesn’t look like that.”
Nield had been featured several times for his achieve-ments in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Council votes to withdraw controversial ALR application

The proposed land swap is over.On Monday evening, municipal council
voted to withdraw the application to adjust the Agricultural Land Reserve boundaries in Summerland.
The plan had called for the removal of 80.34 hectares near the core of the commun-ity, while 91.7 hectares in the Prairie Valley area would be added to the land reserve.
Earlier this year, the applica-tion had been sent to the Agri-cultural Land Commission, but the commission had not made a decision.

A visit to a Friday afternoon chemistry lab is further proof that the cohort model and small classroom environment is already paying dividends. Three months into their education journey at Selkirk College, students work together with a spirit more often found with the cohesiveness of a sports team rather than the individualistic competitive pursuit of entrance into medical school.
“You can see already that the students in this program are going do something and they are going to do something great… It’s already a success,” says Lund. “I’m really proud of these students and very excited about the opportunities for them in the future. Whether they end up choosing medicine or another health field or something else completely different in science, this is where it starts.”

JUST WHAT THE DOCTORS ORDEREDFinding Solutions to the Rural Doctor Crisis The story of the Selkirk College Rural Pre-Medicine Program is the story of why community colleges are vital to Canada’s education system. Its genesis arrived through a need to fill a critical gap with creative solutions and tangible outcomes, a model that is now playing out in the classrooms of the Castlegar Campus.
The three-year Rural Pre-Medicine Program launched in September with its first cohort of 17 eager students. With passionate mentors and dedicated instructors, the program aims to build a foundation of experience and knowledge students will need to prepare for entrance into medical school.
“If you come from a rural area, you are among those most likely to go back to a rural area,” says Rural Pre-Medicine Program Coordinator Elizabeth Lund. “If you want to populate the rural areas with physicians, you need to provide the proper education to students who live in rural areas and have a strong desire to get into medical school.”
The curriculum in the Rural Pre-Medicine Program weaves together courses tailored to rural medicine with courses recommended for the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT). Extra training in skills such as mediation and conflict resolution, leadership, communication and interprofessional skills, small business training and MCAT preparation supports students’ futures as physicians and their medical school applications.
“People understand that this is something that can form one piece of a really long term solution to a big problem,” says Lund. “This is not a problem for doctors or the government, really this is a problem in our society across Canada where there is a big difference between rural and urban.”
A Deep Understanding of Rural Life Lund’s background is perfectly suited for spearheading the effort to help populate small town medical clinics and rural
Out of challenge comes opportunity and at Selkirk College the Rural Pre-Medicine Program is taking on the problem of a physician shortage outside urban areas by opening the door for students who desire to follow a pathway towards a career in medicine well suited for rural Canada.
hospitals with top-notch doctors equipped with a skillset that adds an extra dose of compassion.
Raised in the village of Salmo in the southern interior of British Columbia—population 1,100—Lund describes herself as a typical “Kootenay kid.” Benefitting from the values of a tight-knit community and taking advantage of all the outdoor recreation advantages of mountain life, Lund has fond memories of growing up off the beaten path.
Graduating with a small high school class in 1981, Lund headed off to the University of Victoria to pursue an undergraduate degree in chemistry.
“I wanted to figure out why things work the way they do,” Lund says of her passion for science. “I thought to get down to a smaller and smaller level would help explain what was happening on an atomic scale. The reason behind what you see… the reason ice floats. All those questions you have when you are a kid and you are curious; this was one way to answer those questions.”
After earning her BSc, Lund continued on to a PhD in Chemistry in the 1990s when women at that level were in the distinct minority. Her education included post-doctoral fellowships with a pharmaceutical company in Vancouver and at the University of British Columbia.
Just as Lund’s career in science was hitting its stride, she took a sudden break.
In grad school she began to explore Buddhism and while working in Vancouver, Lund met two senior monks at a tiny forest monastery in Birken, north of Whistler.
“I heard people talking about loving-kindness and meditation, I wanted to learn more about it in order to survive the rigours of grad school,” Lund explains. “It fit really well and gave me a means of answering questions beyond the physical world.”
In 1996, Lund travelled to Thailand to become ordained and spent 10 years in the remote northern area of the country as a Therevadin Buddhist Nun. Returning to Canada in 2006 to help care for her elderly mother in Salmo, Lund began teaching at Selkirk College.
Helping Solve the Problem of a Growing Need The mounting challenges with health care in rural Canada have gained traction in the media over the last few years. With shrinking government budgets, an aging population and societal shifts forming the basis of these struggles, more attention has been focussed on the gap between urban and rural.
Three years ago, Lund and her colleagues in the Selkirk College School of University Arts & Sciences were looking for ways to bolster second year sciences at the Castlegar Campus. A story on CBC radio about the doctor shortage in rural British Columbia triggered the idea for a program that would help address the need with homegrown solutions.
Lund was charged with putting together the proposal and soliciting support. For almost two years Lund put her skills in research and passion for education to the test as she approached senior levels of government, the Doctors of BC, local physicians, the University of British Columbia and anybody else that would listen.
“There was a lot of pounding the pavement… I had to become a salesperson,” she says. “That’s the last thing I thought I would ever do, but I was selling something that I totally believe in. It ceases to be selling and becomes talking to people to let them know what we want to do.”
The First Cohort a Brilliant Example of What is Possible On a sunny late-September afternoon in Castlegar, Selkirk College administration joined representatives from the Doctors of BC, the Ministry of Health and health care professionals from around the Kootenay region for a special reception to welcome the first Rural Pre-Medicine cohort to the program. With a class made up of diverse backgrounds that range from recent high school grads to single mothers who have been away from post-secondary for more than a decade, there was a buzz in the air.
“I have a vision of some of the graduates of this program not only making it into medical school, but also being really grounded and solid people,” said Trail Regional Hospital physician Dr. Blair Stanley, chair of the program’s advisory committee. “Not only because of their rural roots, but because of some of the learnings they will have had in this unique program. They will bring that groundedness and can bring that awareness into their clinical setting when they are looking after patients. I think that will be a magical connection that they will have with patients and the work they do.”
If you want to populate the rural areas with physicians, you need to provide the proper education to students who live in rural areas and have a strong desire to get into medical school.ELIZABETH LUND, RURAL PRE-MEDICINE PROGRAM COORDINATOR, SELKIRK COLLEGE
Summerland Review Thursday, December 11, 2014 www.summerlandreview.com 3
A year-end interview with Premier Christy Clark.
For an extended version, please see the opinion section at summerlandreview.com.
TF: Are you still confident that we’re going to see a major LNG project approved by the end of 2014?
PCC: We’re still in nego-tiations with Petronas and Shell, so I don’t know if it will be by the end of 2014, but I’m hoping in the next few months.
[Days after this interview, Petronas announced a delay in their investment decision until 2015.]
TF: I talked to a couple of SFU climate mitigation special-ists, and they agreed that it’s unlikely to the point of impos-sible to have a major LNG industry and still meet Gordon Campbell’s ambitious green-house gas target of a 33 per cent reduction by 2020. What do you think?
PCC: I think that we may prove them wrong.
Many of these facilities, not all of them, will be partly or fully electrically powered up, so that reduces those impacts, and there’s going to be a real incentive to invest in new technology to minimize that as well.
I think the bigger picture is what really matters, which
is that in shipping 82 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas to Asia, we help them get off coal and other dirtier sources of oil, and that is the biggest contribution that we’ve ever made to reducing climate change.
TF: Ontario and Quebec have taken a page from your book.
They have seven conditions for an oil pipeline, Energy East, which involves con-version of gas pipelines and taking Alberta oil to the East Coast. What do you think?
PCC: I think they took our five conditions and elaborated on them. So you’ve got Brit-ish Columbia, Alberta, now Ontario and Quebec, all signed on to some version of the five conditions.
And of course Enbridge and Kinder Morgan as well.
TF: What about the condi-tions they have added?
PCC: One of the things they say they want to protect against is a shortage of nat-ural gas coming to Ontario and Quebec.
These are the same two provinces that have put a moratorium on extracting natural gas.
They want to make sure that we do it here, good enough for us to do, and send it to them, but they won’t do that themselves.
I look at their last two con-ditions, and I roll my eyes a little bit.
TF: All the way to New Brunswick, they’ve basically bought the anti-hydraulic frac-turing myth?
PCC: Yes. Somehow they all watched an American mocku-mentary or whatever you call it, and believed it.
Here in British Columbia we do fracking better than anywhere in the world.
It is the gold standard. TF: Finance Minister Mike
de Jong says we have a sur-plus estimated at more than $400 million for this fiscal year, and he suggested that much of that would have to go to pay off deficits from previ-ous years.
Of course the opposition is interested in welfare rates and in particular ending child sup-port clawbacks. What’s your view?
PCC: Like any family that’s been through tough times, the first thing you need to do when you get back to finding a job and making an income again, is to pay off your credit cards. And that’s what we’re going to do.
We are going to see if we can find ways to improve some of the programs over time, but can’t do that until we can afford it.
It’s typical, the NDP want us to spend the money before we have it.

SUMMERLAND REVIEWA PART OF THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1908 WWW.SUMMERLANDREVIEW.COM
As the community recovers from a recent electrical power surge, it is easy to ask questions about who was at fault.
The power surge dam-aged meters, furnaces, heat pumps and electronics in some homes in the Trout Creek area.
It is important to determine what happened and why, but the most pressing questions are not about blame.
Instead, this is the time to examine what steps should be taken to prevent a similar inci-dent from occurring in the future.
culls
On Friday evening, Summer-land Singers and Players staged a dramatic reading of the Charles Dickens novel, A Christmas Carol.
The even-ing was not just a chance to hear a well-loved story; it was also a fundraiser for the Summerland Food Bank and Resource Centre.
At this time of year, the demands on the food bank increase and community support is needed now, even more than at other times of the year.
ourpickConsidering
a land planSummerland’s contro-
versial land swap applica-tion to the Agricultural Land Commission has been with-drawn, but discussions about growth and land use are far from over.
On Monday evening, coun-cil voted to withdraw the application.
The plan called for 80.34 hectares near the core of the community to be removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve, while 91.7 hectares in the Prairie Valley area would be added to the reserve.
In 2013 and 2014, during the preparation for the plan, the municipality spent around $100,000 for consultants and for a series of open houses, workshops and other oppor-tunities to collect input from the public.
This cost was significant and the year-long public con-sultation process was exten-sive.
Discarding the applica-tion now, without a response from the land commission, may raise questions about why so much time and money was spent on a growth plan which was discarded in this way.
At the same time, the land exchange generated plenty of opposition, including more than 1,500 Summerland signa-tures on a petition.
An opposition so strong must not be ignored.
The message of oppos-ition showed itself again in the results of the Nov. 15 munici-pal election.
Withdrawing the applica-tion was the first step and it was something several of the new councillors had men-tioned during the election campaign. But the matter has not yet been resolved.
Summerland still needs to have a workable plan to accommodate its future growth.
A strong message has been given that agricultural land must be protected, but the question of where and how to grow must still be answered.

Dear Editor:Re: Recent power
surge in Trout CreekI am writing with
my concerns and questions regarding the recent power surge in Trout Creek and the problems the power surge has left us with. You know by now that many resi-
dents have been ser-iously affected, many of whom are on a fixed income.
More than one family lost a heat pump and furnace, to the tune of approxi-mately $20,000 each. And many more fam-ilies have lost appli-ances and electron-
ics. When insurance agents have been contacted residents were informed that it was not an insur-able event; it was the responsibility of the power provider.
Which makes some sense.
So who is respon-sible?
Who was respon-sible for installing power lines so close together they could arc during a storm, or would stretch and arc with accumulat-ing ice and snow?
Who was respon-sible for ensuring the safety of all homes in Summerland?
Who is respon-sible for ensuring this never happens again. Surely this should be an expected event.
I don’t know the answer to this ques-tion, but I ask the municipality to investigate and make the answer known. I do know it was not
the consumer. My second ques-
tion is, what is being done to prevent this type of event from repeating itself?
Thirdly, where can people affected receive redress? What are people, who are hit with needing to replace furnaces and
heat pumps just three weeks before Christ-mas, to do?
We love living in our small town and are willing to put up with boil water advis-ories, short power interruptions, ... but this was too much.

Drilling through the snowThanks to a Toronto dentist, even the deep snow in the Coquihalla could be cleared off the tracks to ensure the KVR kept running. Dr. J.W. Elliott came up with the idea for a rotary snowplough in 1869. His design was expanded on by Orange Jull of Orangeville and it wasn’t long before the Elliott-Jull Snowplough became standard equipment for North American railways, including the KVR. This photo shows a steam engine pushing a plough at 128 Mile in the Coquihalla subdivision in 1924. It was a truly an innovative machine but it does generate a question: what inspired a dentist to invent a rotary snowplough?

The early years
Questions raised about power surge
Dear Editor: Local Member
of Parliament Dan Albas couldn’t have been clearer when he said that “what I hear from Canadians is they want more accountability.”
Soon he will have a chance to show how he is putting that sentiment into practice as your rep-resentative when he votes on the Trans-parency Act.
This bill was intro-duced by Liberal
Leader Justin Tru-deau to raise the bar on openness and accountability by making government information open by default. It is a good faith effort to work across the aisle and achieve results for Canadians.
The Transparency Act would modern-ize our Access to Information system, which is stuck in the 1980s. It would make all govern-ment data public by
default and available in modern formats. It would empower an independent office to order that informa-tion to be disclosed. It would eliminate extra fees for infor-mation requests.
The Act would also make the meet-ings of the governing board of the House of Commons open by default, allowing Canadians to see how MPs make decisions on their own spend-ing.
These changes would go a long way to address-ing criticisms by the press, researchers, independent experts and others, and ensure that citizens have a real right to know what their gov-ernment does.
Mr. Trudeau has been clear that he wants to work with all MPs, and is open to amendments, suggestions and improvements. He believes that together
we can help restore a sense of trust in our democracy.
Private Members Bills like this are nor-mally “free votes”, which allow MPs to vote with their con-science instead of their party. We sin-cerely hope that Mr. Albas will vote in favour of the Trans-parency Act.

Dear Editor:No sooner did BC
Hydro announce that the Site C dam was going to be built than the naysayers started saying no – no doubt the same naysayers who say no to run of river, no to wind, no
to the Olympics, no to a safer route for an existing pipeline, no to just about any-thing else you can think of.
So if we don’t build Site C, and we don’t build run of river or wind projects, where
do these naysayers propose we get our power from?
Especially with the potential for energy-intensive LNG and other industrial development.
Are we going to start rationing power
in the near future the way we ration lawn watering in the sum-mer?
Will even-num-bered houses get to turn on their lights and appliances Mon-days, Wednesdays, and Fridays and odd-
numbered houses on the alternate days?
Give me a break.I for one am not
going to give in to the naysayers. I’m going to say yes. Yes to run of river. Yes to wind. Yes to Site C.
And yes to any-
thing else that will make this province great and give us the competitive advan-
tages we need to suc-ceed and prosper.

Q: I was told I need to have some dental work done but everything seems fine. How do I know if I actually need any work done? Anonymous
A: Trust is a very important part of any relationship. You need to be able to trust your dentist. As health care professionals, we see immediate concerns like broken teeth, but we can also have the ability to foretell the future! I like to describe three categories of treatment for all my patients:1. Urgent care for pain, infection, or decay. I recommend dealing with this as soon as possible to prevent more dentistry and possible health emergencies. For example, if there is decay between the teeth, I
recommend fixing it before it gets larger and causes pain or needs a root canal.
2. Preventative care is where there is a significant risk that problems will happen if left untreated. For example, if you have a large filling on your back tooth there is a risk it will break. Preventative care would be to cover the tooth with a crown before that happens to prevent more dentistry like root canals or extractions. This treatment can be done at the convenience of the patient taking into consideration their comfort for the risk of what might happen without treatment.3. Cosmetic care is primarily for appearance purposes and does not reduce the risk for further dental treatment. This may include whitening, veneers, or orthodontics. Cosmetic care is entirely at the patient’s discretion.
Most people are aware of “urgent care” treatment requirements, but not all. “Preventative care” treatment is likely what you have been offered. Some people are comfortable with the risks and opt to defer “preventative care” treatment until it becomes “urgent care.” I encourage you to share your priorities with your dentist and understand the risks of deferring treatment.

The municipality will replace meters affected by a recent power surge.
Don Darling, direc-tor of works and util-ities for the munici-pality, said the power surge on Nov. 26 affected one electrical circuit which serves 315 properties in Trout Creek and the Giant’s Head area.
Of these, 63 meters were damaged, but most of the meters must be replaced. The cost is around $200 for each meter.
The cause of the power spike is not yet known, but the municipality is work-ing with an electrical engineer and Fortis B.C. to determine the cause. “It’s all just theory now,” Darling
said. “We’re trying to figure it out.”
Once the cause of the surge is identi-fied, the municipal-ity will work with the electrical engineer to replace a damaged capacitor and light-ning arrestor on the affected circuit. This cost is estimated at around $25,000.
Property owners who had a meter dam-aged during the power surge must retain an electrician to perform a megger test on their electrical system. This test disconnects all electrical and elec-tronic items and then introduces 500 volts to the internal wiring to determine if there was damage to the system.
The cost for this test is estimated at $600, to be paid by the property owner.
Damaged meters will be replaced
The bylaw which governs the structure of municipal coun-cil meetings will be revisited in January.
Mayor Peter Waterman said he would like to see a change to the struc-ture of the meetings to allow the public to raise questions about agenda items at the start of the meeting.
He said this change is needed to provide more opportunity for the public to speak.
Under the existing structure, there is a time for questions after the meeting has been adjourned.
Waterman also would like to move the Committee of the Whole meetings to Monday even-ings. At present, the committee meetings are held on Monday mornings. Items are considered and clari-fied at these meet-ings, but resolutions are not passed.
Procedure bylaw will be examined

After being acclaimed last month to a fifth consecutive term on the Oka-nagan Skaha school board, Linda Van Alphen was chosen in similar fashion Mon-day to lead the group.
The long-time Sum-merland woman was the only person nom-inated in the annual trustees’ vote to select their board chair-person and was there-fore installed in the position by acclama-tion. She was nomin-
ated by G i n n y Manning, a n o t h e r long-time t r u s t e e and past c h a i r -w o m a n , w h o was later acclaimed as vice-chair.
“I see this as a team — and I don’t mean that as being kind of a hokey statement — I truly believe our board is a team, and with our senior staff I think that we’ll be able to make a good
school district great,” said Van Alphen, who previously served three years as vice-chair ending in 2011.
The immediate past board chair-man, Bruce Johnson, was re-elected to a second term but said he made it known to the others he wasn’t interested in staying on at the helm.
“I really enjoyed my year as chair, but my personal circum-stances are such that the extra burden and travel is prohibitive right now, so I wish the new chair all the
best,” he said.Other appoint-
ments made at the inaugural meeting included Shelley Clarke to represent the board on the B.C. School Trustees Asso-ciation provincial council and Manning to sit on the B.C. Pub-lic School Employers’ Association repre-sentative council.
The meeting also marked the debut of new trustees Bill Bid-lake, Barb Sheppard and Julie Planiden, who join the four returning board members.
Van Alphen named school board chair
Continued from Page 1The plan in place
at present was part of the 2008 Official Community Plan.
That plan passed on a 4-3 vote. At the time, the land for the proposed Summer-land Hills Golf Resort development was the only area set aside for future growth.
In early 2010, the Summerland Hills development was abandoned.
The resolution to hold a workshop on
the growth strategy received unanimous council support.
In a report to coun-cil, municipal plan-ner Ian McIntosh said the agricultural land issue is just one portion of the growth strategy.
“The full OCP amendment is a com-plex document that involved significant community engage-ment,” he said in the report.
”There are many components worthy
of consideration and various options to explore prior to a decision on how to proceed. A compre-hensive workshop
on these issues is warranted to fully understand the find-ings and investigate alternative methods of moving forward.”

The municipality’s website will have a new look when an overhaul of the site is completed.
Jeremy Denegar, director of corporate services of the muni-cipality, said he hopes to see the new site go
live before the end of the year.
“Wouldn’t that be a great gift to the community,” he said.
While the site will have a new look, the overhaul is much more than a cosmetic
change, he said. The reworked site
will be easier to navi-gate and will have a stronger focus on good communica-tion with the public, Denegar said.
In addition, out-of-date content and bad
links will be removed before the site goes live.
“It’s very visually driven, very tech-friendly,” Denegar said.
The site will func-tion on computers, smart phones and
tablet devices.Much of the work
has already been completed, although the home page will be the last part to be built.
Denegar said the look of the home page will depend on
the rest of the content of the site.
Home page con-tent will be change-able and will be determined by statis-tics and activity on the site.
Pictures on the site include tourism
images from around the community. Denegar said good tourism-related con-tent is necessary as the municipality’s site is the top result when people search for information about Summerland.

It will be an evening of laughter as students at Summerland Sec-ondary School stage their annual comedy show on Friday.
An Evening of
Sketch Comedy fea-tures the talents of 31 students in the Act-ing 11 class at the school.
Heather Ayris, drama teacher at
the high school, said there are 26 sketches in this year’s pro-duction.
“It’s the biggest show we’ve ever done,” she said.
The comedy will include sketches from Saturday Night Live, Monty Python and The Kids in The Hall, as well as several ori-
ginal works from the students. Seven years ago, when the first comedy evening was staged, it featured Saturday Night Live
sketches, but over the years it has expanded to other comedy as well.
The comedy even-ing begins at 7 p.m.
Doors will open at 6 p.m. Admission is by donation. Ayris urges people to arrive early, as past shows have drawn large crowds.

WILSON, MARGARET
250-494-7752
We are sad to announce that Mary Margaret Wilson nee Dufays passed away peacefully in the Penticton Regional Hospital on Saturday evening (December 6) surrounded by her family. She is remembered and sadly missed by her son Darcy Wilson (Sonya Valancius, grandsons Isaac and Kaden) of Vancouver, son Daryl Wilson (Maureen nee Ewanchuk, grandsons Matthew, Christopher and Andrew) of Woodinville, WA and by her daughter Dena Knowles (Shawn Knowles and granddaughters Chloe and Rowan) of Summerland. Marg was predeceased by her loving husband Barry Wilson, her father and mother, Henri and Mary Dufays (nee Welburn) of Laval, QB, and her brother Arthur Dufays of Ottawa. Margaret was born on April 30, 1936 in Montreal Quebec. Barry and Marg met in Calgary in 1961, both moved to Barry’s hometown of Summerland in late 1963 and were married in Montreal in 1964. Aft er starting their family in Summerland they spent several years adventuring to diff erent corners of the province, working in the towns of Pitt Meadows, Sparwood and Houston before permanently returning to Summerland in 1977. Marg was an active volunteer in the community, involved in many organizations including Summerland Hospital Auxiliary, Boys Scouts as a Beaver leader, Summerland Action Festival Parade, Penticton Soupateria and Jaycees. For her dedicated community service she was awarded the Summerland Citizen of the Year in 1992. Marg was an avid quilter and many friends and family that welcomed new family members were happy to receive beautiful baby quilts. Marg also worked for the school district, in Summerland and Penticton where she had great joy seeing generations of children learn and grow. Marg’s love of travelling took her across Canada and to several corners of the globe with her friends. Her greatest joy came from watching her 7 grandchildren grow into young adults. Th anks to all the wonderful friends and medical professionals who have helped Mom through her battle with cancer. A memorial service for Margaret will be held at Providence Funeral Home at 2:00 p.m. on December 11, located at 13205 Rosedale Avenue, Summerland. Th anks, in lieu of fl owers, donations to the Friends of the Garden, P.O. Box 1363, Summerland BC, V0H 1Z0 would be appreciated.
Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com
IN LOVING MEMORY of JEANNE KEIR DEROSIER
Mar.27 1949 - Dec. 12 2013.Beloved wife, friend and partner to Barry
DeRosier. Loving mother of Neil, Deanna and Trina. Oma to Mike, Chris, Melyssa, George,
Nikki and Robert. Great Oma to Eva and Olivia. Loved and cherished forever.
Born in Chilliwack, Barbara died in Vancouver after a brief bout with cancer. Predeceased by her parents, Lionel and Alma Fudge of Summer-land, B.C., Barb is survived by her sister Nancy and brother-in-law Gene Cadwallader and their family, Meagan and John, Evan and Darlene, and Brianna and Alyssa. Enticed by travel at a young age, Barb spent the first year of her long career in education teaching in Australia. Back in the lower mainland, she taught French for many years in New Westminster and North Vancouver and moved into administration in Surrey before going to Courtenay as a senior board adminis-trator. Retiring from that position in 1999 she moved back to Vancouver and became the “post-er girl” for retirement. Travel, volunteer work, jazz, photography, daily walking, wine tours in the Okanagan, cross-word puzzles and Scrabble were just a few of Barb’s passions as were her countless friends. A celebration of Barb’s life will be held at the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club on Jan. 10th at 5 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Paul’s Hospital. Adieu, chère Barbara.

Young adult fantasy novel releasedby Carla McLeod
Special to the Review
Finding Refuge, the second book in the Marked Ones ser-ies, written by Cathi Shaw, was released last Thursday.
The Summerland author moved here from Vancouver in 2008 with her hus-band and three chil-dren and says it was the best move they ever made.
She has a masters and doctoral degree in education and holds a teaching pos-ition at Okanagan College, but is tak-ing the next year off in order to write her books.
Shaw says she has
been a writer all of her life. “I was recog-nized really young,” she said. “My teach-ers would say, when you become a writer, so I grew up with the mentality that one day I’d be a writer.”
The Marked Ones series is fantasy writ-ten for young adults between the ages of 14 and 18 years.
The story line is about three sisters, all of whom have been adopted. They are growing up in a small village and have heard of a prophesy that speaks of a mys-terious mark, a mark that they each have. When other children start showing up with the same mark…
that is when the a d v e n -t u r e begins.
W h e n Shaw sat down to write the first book of the ser-ies called Five Corners, she wrote it in one month.
“It was a great learning process to finally get it on paper,” she said. “I came up with the idea for the book when I was running one day and still liv-ing in Vancouver.”
Shaw explained that her writing pro-cess is to come up with an idea and then
think it all the way through from begin-ning to end.
What she learned was that when she sat down to write the story, it all came out different than she had planned.
Her style of writing is light on description and features more action, dialogue and character develop-ment. She gives the reader just enough information to see the picture, while still being able to use their own imagination.
Writing the second book has been differ-ent for Shaw.
“I haven’t been carrying the idea around for so long,” she said.
What motivated her to write the second book was that people who had read the first one were asking her when the next book would be released.
She expects to be pressured for a third book by her fans and has already started working on it.
“I know there will
be a third book for sure and probably a fourth book,” she said.
People have asked Shaw where her ideas come from and
she tells them, “I don’t know, they just come.”
“When you’re in the flow and writing, it is really exciting,” she explained.
Getting her work published took deter-mination. “I sent out letters to 57 agents and I received 57 rejections. No one wanted it.”
Although she was frustrated she decid-ed to take the manu-script directly to a publishing house.
The second one she sent it to said yes, they would publish her book.
“So that is when I did the happy dance around the living room,” she said.
The down side of going with a smaller publishing company is that the author has to do much of their own marketing. Shaw finds this to be a challenge. “I think the hardest thing is getting the word out, because there are so many books,” she explained.
“Getting reviews is the biggest thing. People will read the book if they know about it. It’s word of mouth!”
As a mother of teenagers, Shaw feels she is lucky because she has a built in group of test read-ers. Her teens share the book with their friends and in this way she gets feed-back on her work.
If you would like to share these books with the teens in your life and help get the word out, you can order them online at cathishaw.com.

SPACIOUS TOWNHOUSE - NICE YARD!
BRAND NEW – CLOSE TO TOWN!
The Musaic Vocal Ensemble, which was formed in 1995 by Ken Gray and origin-ally had 13 members, now boasts more than 40 people in the choir.
Members for this auditioned choir come from Kelowna, Summerland, Pentic-ton, Oliver and Osoy-oos and are directed by Tracy Stuchberry.
Last summer, Musaic participated in the International Choral Festival Kat-haumixw in Powell River.
Members of Musaic enjoyed this very exciting event and
hearing choirs from Slovenia, Seattle and elsewhere around the globe.
Musaic usually performs two sets of concerts each year: A spring concert in May or June and a Christ-mas concert.
They also enjoy performing for a variety of charitable causes and last month were part of a five choir choral extrava-ganza that raised more than $2,000 for “God’s Kitchen” at the Presbyterian Church in Penticton.
They also provide student bursaries to support budding
musicians.Their concerts
include secular, sacred, opera, classic-al and modern music and this weekend’s concert will feature a rich mix of music
including Gordon Lightfoot’s Song for a Winter’s Night and a choral medley from the Disney animated film Frozen. Other songs will include their rendition of Calypso Carol, Ding Dong! Merrily On High and The Gift.
Along with these numbers, Musaic showcases their musical versatil-ity with O Magnum Mysterium, Tabula Rasa and Let There Be Peace On Earth.
Joining Musaic, for their concert is the Fish On Five Brass Quintet.
These players, from
the Okanagan Sym-phony’s brass section, take their name from their annual fishing trip where they fish and play along B.C.’s magnificent coast.
Musaic Vocal Ensemble is per-forming three times this weekend with the first concert Fri-day, Dec. 12 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Saviour’s
Anglican Church on Orchard Avenue in Penticton.
They will perform twice in Summerland on Saturday. The Sum-merland perform-ances are at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. at St John’s Lutheran Church on North Victoria Road at Blair Street.
Tickets are on sale at James on Kelly
here in Summerland and at the Leir House in Penticton and from any Musaic member.
The Arts Palette column is written by David Finnis, publi-city chair and presi-dent of the Sum-merland Community Arts Council, P.O. Box 1217, 9908 Main St., Summerland, B.C. V0H 1Z0.
