Two people were arrested following an assault in Summerland on Oct. 25.
Police say five people, all Summerland residents and all adults, were involved in the assault.
The individuals arrested and the victim in the assault are all known to each other, police say. “It’s not a random act of violence,” said Sgt. Stephane Lacroix of the Summerland RCMP detachment.
The Regional District of Okanagan-Similka-meen has added a social media presence with a new Facebook page.
The new page will have information about RDOS initiatives, events, projects, forums and official announcements.
“We are looking forward to adding to our current communications efforts to keep citi-zens up to date with what is happening in the RDOS,” said chair Mark Pendergraft.
“For many local governments, Facebook has been a great tool to share information and we want to offer that to the citizens of the RDOS as well.”
Staff at the regional district office are urg-ing residents to Like the page to keep up to date on what is happening within the regional district.

Continued from Page 1These include keeping food for
people and animals inside, out of reach of predators.
While bears go into a deep sleep or denning period, usually from November to April, cougars do not go into hibernation and have been seen in Summerland during the winter months.
Kirk also urges caution around bird feeders to prevent a cougar encounter.
While cougars are carnivores, chicken feed and bird seed tend to attract rodents and raccoons, which are prey for cougars.
For those raising backyard chickens,
Kirk says proper coop construction and feed security are important.
The coop and outside run should be made with good fram-ing and stout wire. Feed should be stored securely and kept inside a garage or shed.

SHOP AROUND!Legal services are no different than any other professional services, except that the outcome of a legal problem can have a very profound effect on a person's life. At Bell, Jacoe & Company we encourage people to shop around for their legal services. Ask your friends and neighbours who they use and if they were happy with the result. Does that law firm win the cases they handle? It is one thing to advertise expertise in an area of law and a very different thing to obtain a good result in that matter. Many sources, including the BC Law Society, can provide helpful information in choosing a lawyer. Why would a law firm suggest such a thing you ask? The continuing confidence and trust that so many citizens of Summerland and the surrounding area have shown in choosing our firm for their legal needs tells us that we are providing the kind of professional, confidential and considerate legal services that you want. We are proud of our reputation in the community and thankful for your support.We look forward to the challenges that the future will bring and to providing the same expert level of affordable legal services that you have come to expect from Bell, Jacoe & Company.

We have a WINNER!!!
The display at a store till a few days ago caught my atten-tion. A small basket had yellow lapel pins in the design of a rib-bon with the words, Support Our Troops.
I’ve seen the same symbol, in the form of a magnetic Support Our Troops ribbon, affixed to the rear of cars and trucks.
The symbol is meant to show a com-mitment to the Can-adian Forces.
Canada’s mil-itary operates with a budget of roughly $20.1 billion. There are 68,250 active members and 119,000 in reserves. At present, around 700 are deployed.
Some believe our military is under-funded and too small to meet Can-ada’s needs. Others have raised questions about the changing role of Canada’s mil-itary presence.
For some Can-adians, support for the military is import-ant and yellow rib-bons are a way of showing that support.
In the days leading up to Remembrance Day on Nov. 11, it is likely the Support Our Troops message will appear more often.
Stickers, pins and clothing with the logo can be purchased online at suppor-tourtroops.ca, through the Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services. This agency is under the admin-istration of National Defence and the Can-adian Armed Forces.
A lapel pin costs $2.99 and a magnetic sticker is just $3.49. It’s a small price to pay.
It’s easy to pur-chase and wear a pin, or to put a sticker on the rear of a vehicle,
but how much can such a gesture accom-plish?
During both world wars, supporting Canada’s troops took on a different mean-ing.
Canadians at home planted victory gar-dens and contributed to scrap metal drives and other initiatives to help with the war effort.
These initiatives were in addition to the food and fuel
rationing which had been imposed to ensure supplies were available for those in the military.
And far beyond these measures, Can-adians served.
Around 620,000 Canadians served during World War I. Of these, 67,000 were killed in action and another 250,000 were wounded. During World War II, rough-ly 1.1 million served.
Of these, 45,000 died in action and another 54,000 were wound-ed.
Some of those names are listed on the cenotaph in Memorial Park.
Times are different now and compari-sons with World War II fall flat. At its peak, the Nazi forces had 18 million members. Today, the forces of ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, are estimated at between
10,000 and 20,000 members.
For a better com-parison, look back roughly 100 years to World War I. Then, as now, there was one global superpower (the United King-dom then; the United States today.) Then, as now, there was volatility in smaller nations, with ten-sions ready to erupt.
The location has changed from the
Balkan States in Eur-ope to places like Ukraine, North Korea and a number of Mid-dle East countries.
The escalation which led to the start of World War I could easily replay today, and the results would be significant, espe-cially with today’s increasingly sophisti-cated weapons.
Tensions at the end of that war created conditions which led to the start of World War II, less than two decades later.
The two world wars also were cata-lysts in the rise of communism and the resulting Cold War between the United States and the former Soviet Union.
This is a part of our history none would want to see repeated.
Ribbons are fine as a show of support, but a better way to support our troops is to work for peace, to find solutions so another global war does not occur.

YOUR VIEWS
Throughout British Columbia, inter-actions between people and wildlife are a fact of life.
When these encounters happen in rural or undeveloped areas, they can occur without significant consequences, but in urban areas, an encounter with wildlife has the potential to end badly.
Each year, conservation officers receive calls about bears in Summerland and in recent years, cougars have been seen in parts of the community, as well as elsewhere in the Okanagan Valley.
This year, because of the dry condi-tions and the significant fire season, the number of sightings is higher than usual.
While the sighting of a cougar does not necessarily translate into an attack, the risk is present.
These are wild predators and must be treated as such.
Wild animals of all sorts have been seen in Summerland and the surround-ing area. Some, such as rodents and raccoons, are primarily a nuisance, but others, such as bears and cougars, can present a significant danger.
According to WildSafeBC, cougars are solitary animals, preferring to avoid con-tact with humans.
However, when an encounter occurs, it can end tragically.
The risk of an encounter with wild-life cannot be eliminated, but it can be reduced.
The precautions have been repeated time and again.
Wild animals will show up in urban areas if they think they can find easy sources of food.
Garbage can attract bears and other wildlife. Bird feeders and seed is seen as a convenient food source for rodents and raccoons.
If the food sources are not easily avail-able, wildlife encounters will happen far less frequently.
And if the smaller wildlife are deterred, the predators will not see Summerland and the surrounding area as an easy place to find food.
EDITORIALControlling cougars
It’s easy to purchase and wear a pin, or to put a sticker on the rear of a vehicle, but how much can such a gesture accomplish?
Lest We ForgetThis reunion, 10 years after the end of World War II, meant a lot to these soldiers. Veterans of both World Wars, the men valued the opportunity to meet with others who had shared the same experiences and understood. They gathered at the cenotaph in Memorial Park to remember and honour their comrades who didn’t make it home but gave their lives for the community of Summerland and for Canada. “When you go home tell them of us and say, For your tomorrow we gave our today.” On Nov. 11, we will gather at the cenotaph as a community to remember those who fought for our freedom. We shall remember them.

Dear Editor:Isn’t it nice to know that after almost
five years in business, four of which being located right on the corner of a busy main street, that Rob Mur-phy, the sales manager of the Review, where I probably spend more than $1,000 a year, could put in his special
request for a place downtown where he can get a burger and a milkshake.
Well, we have been serving burgers at our store and currently are offering 11 flavours of the best milkshakes that he has probably ever tasted.
What is the next special request, Rob? Maybe a hardware store on
Main Street, or how about a coffee shop at Main and Victoria, or maybe an artisan bread baker…
Then we wonder why businesses don’t come to Summerland.

Dear EditorRe: Myths of the High-
way of Tears (B.C. Views, Oct. 29).
Tom Fletcher’s column triggered my memory of the dog whistle politics we saw in the recent federal election.
The Highway of Tears is not a myth and using myth-ology in the title of that col-umn is an insult to the hun-dreds of Aboriginal families who have lost loved ones as a result of many traged-ies that have occurred on that road and across this country.
The identity politics of the outgoing prime minister were properly rewarded, and the party that showed Stephen Harper the door at 24 Sus-sex Drive has promised an inquiry into the dis-proportionate number of
murders and disappear-ances that continue to occur in the Aboriginal population.
It would be hoped that an inquiry will begin to expose the depth and col-our of systemic issues inherent in Canadian insti-tutions that help perpetu-ate these tragedies, and that the new federal gov-ernment will commit to real solutions from its rec-ommendations.
The incoming prime minister has made further commitments to the 92 rec-ommendations that came out of the Truth and Recon-ciliation Commission (TRC) process.
The TRC has helped many Canadians to under-stand the origins of deep-rooted problems faced by Aboriginal communities both on and off reserve, and
to help them move Can-adians individually and collectively to a reconcilia-tion commitment.
Those current and future problems will always be about the quality of the relationship between the First Nations people and the general non-native population.
Improving the transpor-tation options for people in the North is primary, but it does not solve the systemic problems that continue to poison opportunities for everyone to work together to end the dysphoria that
has dominated Aboriginal communities both on and off reserve.
Reconciliation Canada (reconciliationcanada.ca) is a key agent of change in this space and is dedi-cated to building meaning-ful relationships where all Canadians achieve their full potential and shared pros-perity.
Getting informed is the first step.
Stepping into this dis-course is the next.
I am stepping in.Carl Mashon

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.
Your input is needed….get involved in the process!

Do YOU Have The Guts To Lose Weight?So you’ve joined the gym and hit the spin classes. You’ve also been fer-vently reading the labels on everything at the grocery store and opted for the healthiest options you can muster. When you go out to eat at the restaurant you keep your eyes peeled for the heart-smart, calorie-wise, nutrient-dense options available.Once you get your meal and you tuck in to the greenery rich treat before you and you glance over at the svelte patron, who looks like they just came from a health magazine cover photo shoot, and take note of what the waiter has set in front of them. You may experience a slight pain of disappointment when you notice the rich juicy hamburger and pomme frites combination they’re about to nosh. NO FAIR.Well, at that moment, you’re only seeing a snapshot of this other per-son’s lifestyle (maybe today is a cheat day). Confucius says “unhappiness comes from comparison”, I am paraphrasing there.What may be a contributing difference between a person who is over-weight or obese and a person who is not, in addition to diet and exercise habits, is gut flora.A number of studies comparing the gut flora (think: probiotics) of over-weight/obese people and people of a healthy weight found that many microbes found in the gut of the healthy-weight people were absent from those struggling with their weight. There are a few things at play here.First, what we feed our body also feeds our trillions of gut microbes (you never eat alone), so if you eat nutrient deficient food, so does your gut flora. You have to eat a healthy, balanced diet to have healthy, balanced gut flora.Second, over the course of their lifetimes, many people will have been put on several courses of antibiotics which, for the microbes in your gut, is like dropping an atom bomb. The tough part is, even with proper diet, if the microbes have been wiped out the only way to benefit is through repopulating the flora.Whether or not your goal is weight management, healthy gut flora has far reaching benefits for your health. From digestion to immune func-tion and even mental health, it is in everyone’s best interest to gain and maintain a healthy gut and gut microbes.Come and speak to the Live well team at Pharmasave Summerland to learn more about how to keep your gut flora in good shape and how that keeps you in good shape too. - Dan Cassidy, Nutritional Product Advisor

Dear Editor:Re: Chamber BenefitsI am a music teacher, owner
of Perry Music Studio and a licensed business operator in Summerland. I would like to comment in response to the buzz around Business Week, Oct. 26 to 30.
A number of years ago, when membership in the Chamber of Commerce became mandatory, my business license fee was increased by 60 per cent over-night.
As a small business owner who wanted to operate legit-imately in Summerland, I dug deep and paid up.
Businesses are told that
membership in the Chamber of Commerce is free. It is not.
Our higher license fees reflect a surtax to support the Chamber.
As a piano teacher, many of the “free” initiatives put on by the Chamber are of no use to me because the focus of my business is geared towards educating children.
I cannot participate in the Business after Business net-working because that is when I am working.
I do not serve the tourist industry and my livelihood does not rely on bringing in customer traffic by advertising in other communities.
The health insurance benefit program is completely beyond my means and the “email blasts” that the chamber offers to its members only serves to hit other chamber businesses and targets a demographic that has no use for the services I provide.
To date, the only benefit I have received from the Cham-ber of Commerce was a com-prehensive free listing on the website.
This was a tremendous boon as I do not have the means to provide and run my own pri-vate website.
Imagine my shock then, when I sent the parent of a
potential new student to the “New and Improved” web-site and was informed that the information had vanished. Imagine my outrage when, upon making inquiry to the Chamber about this lack, that I was informed I could pay “only” an extra $85 per year to have information about my business on this site.
Over the years I have been a small business owner in Summerland, I have paid what amounts to roughly two month’s earnings in business license fees.
Considering that the only initiative that was of benefit to my business, the website list-
ing, is now only available for a yearly fee, I see little value for me to be a chamber member.
The chamber should provide free web-listings for its member businesses. At the very least, provide a larger space than 200 characters.
If there are businesses that want and can afford a larger presence, then work out a vari-able size charge.
In the meantime, this mem-ber would like the Chamber of Commerce to get busy putting our money where it will help all of us.

Dear Editor:Re: Rob Murphy’s column, Is Summerland
open for business?I don’t think one can compare having sever-
al banks or pharmacies (which almost every-one uses frequently) in a small town with supporting two dollar stores.
Allan of Your Dollar Store with More has loyal customers because his service is good, his store is not the cookie-cutter type, he sup-ports the Summerland community and he stands behind his products.
If you buy something defective at Dollarama, you are out of luck.
Furniture store, shoe store, men’s cloth-ing store — all would be more useful than another dollar store.
Maybe they would all fit into that building.Of course folks are free to shop where they
like.I will continue to shop at Your Dollar Store

Store did not display poppy trayDear Editor:We all believe that every Canadian
shares the value of supporting our veterans.
Not so much in Summerland.My experience with merchants and
restaurants in town is that they look forward to receiving their Legion poppy trays.
This includes locally owned estab-lishments as well as national fran-chises and chain stores.
All donations to the annual Legion Poppy Drive leading up to Remembrance Day are directed to servicing the needs of local veterans and to provincial care facili-ties in the Lower Mainland.
The new Dollarama store at first declined to accept a poppy tray.
The manager suggested
that the Legion was welcome to solicit donations outside the store.
I pointed out that the Legion did not have the manpower to do this, and she reluctantly accepted the tray.
Upon my return, two days later to replenish the tray, I discovered that the tray had never been displayed.
To the best of my knowledge, this is the one and only instance of a Sum-merland retailer refusing to support our veterans.

VICTORIA – Pre-mier Christy Clark’s government has been steadily backed into a corner on its appar-ent deletion of emails involving sensitive government topics.
A week-long bar-rage of accusations by the NDP oppos-ition peaked with their most damning evidence of a cover-up, in the long-run-ning case of eight health researchers suspended or fired from drug approval studies.
Most have been paid settlements or reinstated after the biggest personnel management blunder in memory. One com-mitted suicide.
We are now into a second independ-ent review of this tragic case, after an independent law-yer was unable to determine what went wrong, because she
couldn’t compel testi-mony or demand rec-ords. It is now in the hands of B.C.’s new Ombudsperson, Jay Chalke, who has that authority.
Everyone agrees that the deputy health minister of the day, Graham Whitmarsh, was legally responsible for the decisions and records. Yet some-how the only record released to the NDP for the two-year per-iod of the firings and
subsequent investi-gation was a heavily blanked-out update from his successor, Stephen Brown, to the premier’s deputy, John Dyble.
It refers to an “update on litiga-tion resolution from investigation,” the substance of which is blanked out, and offers to discuss the situation by phone.
Here’s an exchange between NDP MLA Adrian Dix and Cit-izens’ Services Minis-ter Amrik Virk:
Dix: “Can the min-ister explain why the Office of the Premier, the Deputy Minister to the Premier, has no records and why the successive Deputy Minister of Health had one record over two years?”
Virk: “The sugges-tion from the member opposite that there are no documents is false…. There are
more documents now that the Ombuds-person has conduct of the matter and is undertaking a com-prehensive review. I fully expect that he will do a comprehen-sive review and will consent to the release of more documents.”
There will be more sound and fury over this, but only Chal-ke’s report can pro-vide new informa-tion. And even then, the damage is done, settlements and non-disclosure deals have been signed, and Clark and Health Minister Terry Lake have formally apolo-gized.
The larger issue is how freedom of infor-mation legislation should work. Should the opposition be able to second-guess deci-sions of bureaucrats by going through their emails?
The traditional
answer is no. Elected officials are respon-sible, even if they had no actual role, as should always be the case in hiring and firing ministry staff and awarding gov-ernment work con-tracts. The buck stops with Lake and Clark, not their deputies.
There are sound reasons for this. Con-sider another sensi-tive decision, to shoot wolves from the air in a last-ditch effort to preserve dwindling mountain caribou herds.
Protesters, pop stars and politicians can sound off as they like, but these hard decisions are made and carried out by wildlife experts working for or con-sulted by the prov-ince.
The minister, in this case Forests Min-ister Steve Thomson, authorizes the use of
helicopters and rifles and takes the political consequences.
One can imagine the agonizing dis-cussion that goes on behind the scenes, as provincial and First Nations wildlife experts watch cari-bou herds dwindle despite widespread habitat protection efforts. They not only make the technical call, they have to pull the trigger.
Would wildlife biologists be able to provide frank advice for or against
this decision if they knew their names and opinions could later be used in a political battle in the legislature and in the streets?
No. And can you run a public service if everyone is sub-jected to the scrutiny that only politicians choose to endure? No.

Discussing writingChelsey Baron, left, and Yasmin John-Thorpe discuss the upcoming British Columbia Youth Writers Camp. The camp will be held in July and is expected to bring young writers from across Canada.
Baron will take over B.C. Youth Writers Camp
A former participant in the British Columbia Youth Writ-ers Camp will be in charge of the camp this year.
The camp, for youths between the ages of eight and 18, has been held annually since 2008, first in Summer-land and later in Penticton.
Chelsey Baron, a partici-pant in camps during the first years, said the experience was positive for her.
“For me, it was a huge confidence booster,” she said. “I had the opportunity to look at the profession of writing.”
She said others have also
excelled since attending the camps.
One participant, who could hardly speak publicly during her first year at the camp, now writes and performs slam poetry.
Others have gone on to pursue writing careers.
Participants in the camp come from across Canada and into Washington State.
The camps have had as many as 90 participants, but last year’s enrolment was 67.
For 2016, the one-week camp will be held July 3 to 8.
The camp includes a key-note speaker on the Sunday,
as well as workshops and instruction in illustration or art, fiction, nonfiction, story-boards and poetry.
“Last year, the poetry turned into songwriting,” said Yasmin John-Thorpe, the founder of the writing camp.
The camp is presented by Penticton Writers and Pub-lishers.
Additional information and registration forms are available online at penwriters.com/community-programs.
A registration discount is available for those who register before the end of this year.
Festival attracts 6,000 visitorsEvery year the
Summerland Cham-ber plans and hosts the Okanagan’s pre-mier kick off to the Christmas season. The annual Festi-val of Lights will be held on Friday, Nov. 27 this year and the theme is Country Christmas.
Just over 6,000 visitors are expected for the evening.
We love Light Up because it gives us a chance to cele-brate the season and throw a really great party.
We also want to showcase our beauti-ful downtown and our local businesses, provide a wonderful fundraising oppor-tunity for local non-profit organizations, and, last but not least, let our visitors
know that Summer-land is a great place to live.
The evening kicks off with a Santa pro-cession at 5 p.m.
There will also be western themed ice sculptures spon-sored by Nesters Market, Santa’s workshop hosted by the Summerland Credit Union, and fun kid zone activ-ities and photos
with Santa spon-sored by IGA.
All the Summer-land Royalty and candidates will be dressed in their west-ern best this year with matching light up Stetsons.
Get a picture of yourself riding ‘El Diablo’ the mechan-ical bull.
And remind your kids to bring their let-ters to Santa to drop off at the post office.
Your family will also enjoy pony and ATV rides, west-ern themed games, bouncy toys, com-munity dancers and choirs and great music.
At 7 p.m. the street will go dark and the whole crowd will count down to the moment the Christ-mas lights go on.
Fresh from Sun Fest and the Mer-ritt Music Festival, country group The Chris Buck Band will entertain on the main stage this year, along with duo Robyn and Ryleigh.
A spectacular fireworks finale is sponsored by the
Summerland Credit Union and will be set to country music.
You’ll also be able to try the most deli-cious food you’ve ever seen in one place!
There’s an amaz-ing amount that goes on behind the scenes in order to
organize a festival of this size and it wouldn’t happen without the partici-pation of some great partners, Festival Support from the District of Summer-land and our Festi-val Services sponsor Progressive Waste Solutions.
Wear your cowboy boots and Stetsons and we hope to see you downtown on Nov. 27.
You can check out all the activities and details at summer-landlightup.com.

Summerland musicians Linnea Good and David Jonsson, along with their three children, will bring their music to India this winter.
Good and Jonsson are leav-ing for India this weekend, while their children will join them near the end of November.
While in India, they will spend some of their time at the Christian Medial College Hospitals, where they performed the last time they visited India, early in 2013.
“We have friends we’re going back to,” Good said. “When we left, our chaplains and teachers told us to come back as soon as possible, to build on what we had done together. So, with ela-tion, we prepare now for a return visit.”
In addition to their perform-ances, they will also work in collaboration with musicians in India.
Good said the collaborative work can be confusing and anx-ious, but she expects it will be rewarding as well.
When they first visited India in 2013, their work was exclusive-ly with the hospitals. This time, they will also sing in churches and meet with other foreigners working in the country. They will return to Canada in early January.
She is inviting people to con-tribute to the expenses of the trip. There is a donation link on her website at linneagood.com.
Good, a Christian singer-song-writer, has worked as a profes-sional musician for 27 years. She and Jonsson have been working together in music-making for the past two decades.
In addition to her national and international work, Good is also involved in music in Summer-land, including her work with the Summerland Children’s Choir.
Family brings music to India
Musical familyLinnea Good and David Jonsson, along with their children Isaac Jonsson-Good, 13; Nicole Jonsson-Good, 17 and Patrick Jonsson-Good, 18, will bring their music to India this winter.

When the leaves change colour and darkness comes ear-lier, you know that fall is here and winter isn’t far behind.
Time to read a dark, brooding novel like “The House of Sand and Fog” by Andre Dubus III.
The members of the library book club read this work of fic-tion and met on Sat-urday, Oct. 17, the first official book club in our new space.
We gathered in the Community Room, a perfect spot to settle in with a cup of coffee
and a muffin while looking forward to a lively discussion of Dubus’s novel, pub-lished in 1999.
Told from the point of view of the two main characters, the author immediately puts you into their headspace. These
are people that come from very different cultures, but find themselves strug-gling over the same thing.
To maintain owner-ship of a house they both believe legally belongs to them.
Kathy, a recovering alcoholic, was evict-ed from her home for failure to pay back taxes.
Her house is sold at a county auction to a former colonel in
the Iranian Air Force, Mr. Behrani.
After a clerical error is discovered, Kathy begins a fight to reclaim her home, but Behrani will not let go of his American dream.
This is the premise of the novel, and the way Dubus tells it is riveting.
We get to go into the depths of the worst types of human behaviour, from both sides of the story.
The author has us rooting for each
of them, and then instantly cringing at what happens next.
It all builds up to the tragic and unexpected ending, one that you can’t see coming, but leaves you heartbroken.
The House of Sand and Fog is a tale that is woven by a master writer.
He got the origin-al idea for the story from reading a news-paper article, and that was enough to spark his curiosity.
His characters were based on truth, but he imagined them acting in less than reason-able ways.
Dubus has said, “It’s so easy to mis-behave in this world, it’s harder to do the right thing.”
Reading this book will definitely leave you wondering who was right or wrong, or if it even mattered.
If you would like to read The House of Sand and Fog, please make a request at the Summerland Library. If there is a bit of a wait list, I might suggest a couple of read-a- likes such as NW” by Zadie Smith; The Amaz-ing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon and Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck.
Join us for the next book club meeting, Saturday, Nov. 21 at 11 a.m.
The November selection is Await your Reply by Dan Chaon.

The Penticton Concert Band is embarking upon its next chapter after recruiting Dave Brunelle as the new band director.
“I’m really re-acquainting myself with upper level con-cert band music and I’m really enjoying working with these strong musicians from the com-munity,” he said. “My passion is jazz music, but I grew up playing concert band, that’s my foundation.”
Brunelle is nearing the end of his tenure as principal of Skaha Lake Middle School, where he teaches jazz and concert band students in Grades 6, 7 and 8.
He joined the Penticton Con-cert Band to replace the former director, Gerald Nadeau, who grew the band fivefold over the past eight years, from seven members to around 40. The 2014-2015 season was Nadeau’s final year with the band, and before his replacement was found, he said the new con-ductor will have a big job to fill.
“The person taking it over can look at it two ways: he or she’s got a thing that is running wild right now – which is good, but on the other hand, it’s a lot to keep running,” Nadeau said. “I hope the person that fills the role can keep it going.”
Though Brunelle wasn’t a
member of the concert band before taking over as conduct-or, he had been following the group’s progression for years.
“It started off as a band that could really only play beginner-style music. They have grown, not only in size, but the qual-ity of their sound,” Brunelle said. “This is all about Gerald – Gerald has moved this band incredibly over the years.”
Nadeau’s acceleration of the Penticton Concert Band gave local musicians who have taken a break from their instrument a new platform to practice.
As Brunelle closes in on his retirement with the school sys-tem, the concert band’s open-
ing for a conductor felt like the right next step.
“I was looking for more opportunities to play music in a band setting,” he said. “I was planning on joining the band and then was told the music director was retiring, so I went through audition process and was the successful candidate to take over that position.”
As a conductor, Brunelle has to be familiar with every instru-ment in the band. He considers himself to be a woodwind spe-cialist, and is most comfortable playing saxophone or clarinet.
“It’s a perfect size band; with 40 members all the parts are covered, and there are very
strong musicians in the band,” he said, citing diverse experi-ence among its members.
The band rehearses every Tuesday night at Skaha Lake Middle School, and any musi-cian interested in joining the group is invited to audition.
“There’s a certain level of musicianship that’s required as well; it’s not a beginner band by any means, but they’re wel-come to come out and see if they’ll have an interest in it.”
Those who are thinking about being part of the con-cert band can contact Brunelle at [email protected], and are asked to mention their instru-ment of choice.

Carla McLeodSpecial to the Review
Although she was a final-ist for the Citizen/Volunteer of the Year Award earlier this year, Carleen Murray is inclined to shy away from publicity and doesn’t volun-teer for the sake of notoriety.
It’s just something she does because she believes it’s important and she has taught her children to do the same.
“I started out volunteering as part of home schooling our children,” she explained. “I just really loved it. It makes you feel so good. We made so many people smile.”
Murray, who home schooled her three children wanted volunteering to be part of their curriculum, so she took the children regu-larly to volunteer at a sen-ior’s dinner in the community where they lived at the time.
As well as helping to set
tables and serve dinner, the children learned to interact with seniors, by playing cards and board games with them.
When the family moved to Summerland in 1999, even though her children were then teenagers, she immedi-ately looked for and found volunteering opportunities.
They got involved at the high school and helped out in the stage production of The
Wizard of Oz. In answer to an ad placed in
the paper looking for volun-teers to help at the Summer-land Drop In Centre, Murray responded and helped out with the senior’s bingo for a couple of years.
Currently, Murray organ-izes the kitchen at the Drop In Centre, every second Tues-day of each month when Neighbourlink hosts their Soup Social. After the lunch is served it is her responsibility to make sure the kitchen is all cleaned up and left the way it was found.
“What’s really special now is, my daughter and my grandsons help me run the kitchen,” explained Murray. “My grandsons, who are six and nine years old, are helping to serve the people the lunch-es, handing out the bread and handing out the desserts. It’s kind of gone full circle.”
Murray has also found a way to com-bine her love of sewing and making crafts with her love for volunteering.
She had read about a mother, whose son
was dying of cancer, being dismayed about the gloomy surroundings of the hospital where her son was being treated. The moth-er decided to sew him a color-ful pillowcase to cheer him up and she made them for the other children in the hospital as well.
The story really touched Murray, so she decided it was something that could be done
locally. She along with two girlfriends, now sew bright coloured pillowcases for chil-dren who are admitted to the pediatric ward of the Penticton Hospital. The children are able to choose a pillowcase to hope-fully brighten their stay in the hospital and can take it home with them when they leave.
Also, in order to help pro-mote children’s literacy, Mur-ray makes something special for children to carry their library cards in.
“I make wallets out of chil-dren’s book pages and duct tape,” she explained. “Then whenever a child gets a new library card, they get a wal-let for free from the library. I make bookmarks also and they are at the front of the library and people can help themselves to them.”
In the future, Murray is looking forward to volun-teering with the breakfast program at the Summerland Middle School on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
The lessons Murray taught her children about volunteer-ing when they were little, are still what she shares today.
“It is not about getting a huge thank you, because a lot of times no one knows who has done the good deed, but it’s just about making sure it’s part of your life, because it’s really important,” she said. “I just really want young people to realize how important it is to volunteer. It makes our community such a tight unit.”

Wallet projectCarleen Murray displays the wallets she makes for children to keep their library cards in. She donates them to the Summerland Library and every time a child becomes a member of the library and gets a library card, they receive a wallet.
“It is not about getting a huge thank you, because a lot of times no one knows who has done the good deed, but it’s just about making sure it’s part of your life, because it’s really important.”

One of my favour-ite things about doing this column — I’ve just passed the one month mark — is that people have started sending me emails and notes about what’s happening around Summerland. I can’t always use what’s sent to me, but I love being more connected to my community, especial-ly those involved in the arts scene around Summerland.
It’s also a great
way, I’ve found, to discover some things that might not other-wise make it on to my radar.
This week is a great example of that.
For those who enjoy a having your funny bones tickled, Summerland’s Cen-tre Stage Theatre is hosting a comedy showcase this com-ing Sunday, Nov. 8, featuring comedian Dino Archie.
Originally from Los Angeles, Archie
now divides his time between L.A. and Vancouver. He will share the stage with local Okaganan acts, Kyle Patan and Josh Ashton and the evening is hosted by Kelowna comedian David Kopp.
Tickets include a tasting from Heav-en’s Gate winery. Tickets are available at Prima Pizza or at the door on the night of event.
If comedy isn’t your thing, or if you’re looking for something to do a little earlier in the week, Zias Stone-house Restaurant is hosting a jazz night on Nov. 5.
Jazz has always been one of those musical styles that helps me feel
inspired. It was all I listened to for years when I first started writing and it was great for not only allowing the mind to wander, but also for helping me stay focused — unlike other forms of music where all I want to do is sing along.
Zias jazz night has all the hallmarks of
being a great evening: it’s got some top-tier local talent, an excel-lent atmosphere and a fantastic offering of food and drink. Music runs from 7 to 9 p.m. and there’s a cover charge at the door.
I’d also like to remind people that the Summerland Cul-tural Task Force is seeking opinions on culture here in Sum-merland. The next conversation focuses on seniors and takes place at the Summer-land Seniors Village on Nov. 10. Get out there and make sure your voice is heard.

Fright nightGrade 12 students from Summerland Secondary School held the Nightmare on Nixon fundraiser on Oct. 30 and 31. The event included an orchard full of ravenous zombies, a disorienting maze, scarecrows and a haunted house. Proceeds from the event will go to the dry grad fund for this year. The fundraiser brought in more than $5,500. In addition, food was collected for the Summerland Food Bank.
Private schools watching proposed school closures
Dan Walton
Private school enrolment in the province has been on the rise for years and now local institutions are keeping on eye on School District 67’s proposal to close schools.
SD67 facilities being con-sidered for closure in Pentic-ton are Carmi, McNicoll Park, Parkway and West Bench, as well as Giant’s Head in Sum-merland.
In Summerland, where families would be affected by the closure of Giant’s Head, Sheena Fowlie, Head of Summerland Montessori School, anticipates a “soft increase” in enrolment at her school.
“I think that it would fur-ther frustrate parents who have been dealing with strikes and other job action in recent years, and could very well be the final straw to push them to explore other educational options,” she said.
“We are a very small school with a family-like atmosphere and smaller class
sizes, so I think that would be very attractive to parents who might be alarmed by the thought of their elementary-aged child moving to a bigger school with more older chil-dren and potentially larger class sizes.”
Superintendent Wendy Hyer wouldn’t speculate on possible outcomes, but said if reconfiguration results in district schools being able to offer more programming, it’s possible some students will be drawn back into the public system.
Art Tharrien, superintend-ent of schools for the Nelson Diocese — an umbrella of schools which includes Holy Cross in Penticton, said the district’s decisions on closure are being monitored.
“We’re looking at options so that when they make their decisions we can react in a way that’s going to address whatever we need to address at that time,” he said.
Beyond the modified cur-riculums that are offered by private schools, Karl Boeh-
mer, principal of Penticton Christian School, said the size of a school’s population is an important factor.
With reconfigurations of public schools resulting in increased student popu-lations, some parents may want to “maintain that sort of intimate learning experience and I could see them poten-tially choosing us,” Boehmer said. “It all depends what the parents are looking for. If they desire small school environ-ment for their children then I think we become an option because right now I under-stand that the schools being considered for closure are fairly small neighbourhood schools.”
There will be nine public meetings throughout schools in the district between Nov. 12 and Dec. 10 for district trust-ees to gauge public input.
The final decision will be made during a public meet-ing at the IMC building on Jan. 20 at 6:30 p.m. Details of meetings can be found on the district website, sd67.bc.ca.

SCoreboardThe Summerland Den-
tal Centre Bantam Jets pulled off the win against Kelowna #6 this Sunday, outscoring their oppon-ents 7-4.
The Kelowna squad came out strong in the first per-iod and were able to keep the Jets off the scoreboard.
After 20 minutes of play, the score was 2-0 for Kelowna.
The Jets returned the favour in the second period, scor-ing three times.
Rylan Campbell was the first to score, taking a pass from Jason Scherban.
Then Kaeden Seiter found the back of the net, assisted by Scherban.
Rounding out the third period, Ty Sideroff notched one, giving the Jets the lead for the first time, 3-2.
The third per-iod provided more drama than the first two combined, with both teams finding another gear.
But the Jets would dominate the third period with four goals to Kelowna’s two.
Soon after Spencer Bitte’s goal, Kelowna would tie the game at 4-4.
Then Scherban got the go-ahead goal, with about five min-utes remaining.
Campbell scored,
assisted by Bitte, in the final minutes of the game for insurance.
Finally, Scherban tallied the empty-netter with eight seconds on the clock, assist-
ed by Campbell, to seal the deal.
The final score was 7-4. The Summerland Den-
tal Centre Bantam Jets dis-played patience, resilience
and above all, team-work. They are winners, regard-less of the score.
Thanks coaches for all your time and encourage-ment.

The interior of B.C. now has four new and two returning Mem-bers of Parliament, one with the incom-ing government, three with the official opposition and the two remaining with the third party (as it is frequently referred to within the House of Commons).
In some situations the electoral bound-aries between these different Members of Parliament may be geographically well defined but may not be convenient for cit-izens due to different
MP office locations or how the electoral boundaries com-mission arbitrarily applied riding bor-ders that may have separated closely linked communities.
These situations often create a chal-lenge for citizens to decide which Mem-ber of Parliament they should contact for assistance in the event the Member of Parliament who is closest and most convenient, may in fact be representing a different electoral region.
Wherever possible citizens should con-tact the Member of Parliament who rep-resents the electoral region they reside in.
The reason for this is that Members of Parliament have unique legislated rights and protec-tions under various acts of Parliament to represent citizens specifically located within their electoral region.
In addition, Mem-bers of Parliament are provided with generous resources to assist citizens, even
those in remote areas of a riding.
On the same theme citizens also have a right to contact Mem-bers of Parliament from other electoral regions for assist-ance that may or may not be provided depending upon the circumstances and the discretion of the MP in question. From my own experience it is common for MPs from other parties and or regions to refer citizens to their own MP as this respects the intent of Canada’s single-member, sim-
ple-plurality voting system.
From my perspec-tive as the Member of Parliament for Cen-tral Okanagan-Simil-kameen-Nicola, my office will continue to assist citizens to the best of our abil-ity and will also look forward to working with other MPs in our region regardless of party affiliation.
U l t i m a t e l y assisting citizens remains my top pri-ority and I expect our newly elected Members of Parlia-ment will also share
this sentiment as they
work towards open-ing up new constitu-ency offices as soon as is reasonably pos-sible.
U n f o r t u n a t e l y there is little news to share from Ottawa at the moment as the transition period will be under way for many weeks and it is still unclear when the House of Commons will be recalled by the new government, once in place.
Next week will like-ly be more active as it is expected a new cab-inet will be announced and potentially a date will also be revealed on when the House of Commons will resume.
Normally in a non-election year the House would have sat for five weeks at this point with another five weeks schedule prior to the end of the year.
On a closing note I would like to thank the many citizens who have taken the time to share your thoughts and com-ments with me over the past two weeks.
The volume of feedback has been sig-nificant and is greatly appreciated. I wel-come your input and can be reached via email at [email protected] or toll free at 1-800-665-8711.

Summerland Review Thursday, November 5, 2015 L i f e s t y L e www.summerlandreview.com 19
Historic telegramThe copy of this telegram, sent to the widow of a soldier killed in action on D-Day, June 6, 1944, is one of many on exhibit at the Summerland Museum as part of its newest exhibit, Technology.
Businesses are showing their support of the 2016 Pen-ticton BC Winter Games by displaying signs in their win-dows.
Every business that signs on as a Friend of the Games receives a storefront window cling to show the world they are backing the community
and that they have got Game, just as the event slogan — Penticton’s Got Game — sug-gests.
“There are many businesses that have signed on as Friends of the Games supporters, and many more are needed to ensure that the 2016 BC Win-ter Games are a success,” said
Host Society President Bill Bidlake.
“There are many opportun-ities for the business commun-ity to support the Games, the largest amateur multi-sport event in B.C. that will increase the profile of Penticton and South Okanagan region.”
The 2016 BC Winter Games
will take place Feb. 25 to 28, 2016. More than 2,000 young athletes, coaches, officials and families will come to the South Okanagan, resulting in signifi-cant economic impact for local businesses.
The games are expected to have an economic impact of $1.8 million for the region.
Friends of the Games receive benefits including attending many of the events held over the four days.
Depending on the com-mitment level, Friends of the Games can participate in cre-ating those memories for ath-letes, like presenting athletes with their medals.
