Steam set for playoffsJunior B team places second in division

John Arendt

With four games left in the regular hockey season and a spot in the play-offs, the Summerland Steam coaches and players are gearing up for some tough competition.

The Junior B team has earned second place in the Okanag-an/Shuswap Confer-ence: Okanagan Div-ision of the Kootenay International Junior

Hockey League.The Steam have a

record of 27 wins,16 losses, two ties and three overtime losses.

The regular season concludes on Feb. 14 and the division semi-finals begin on Feb. 20.

The Steam will face either the Kelowna Chiefs or the Princet-on Posse.

Gregg Wilson, co-owner and general manager of the team, is optimistic about the playoffs.

“We’ve got a great group,” he said.

“We’re very lucky to have four good lines.”

Last year, the team qualified for the division semi-finals

and faced the North Okanagan Knights. The series went to seven games, with the Knights winning and advancing to the

finals. This year, the Knights will not be in the playoffs.

Wilson said the Steam has changed considerably since

the end of the last sea-son. Of the 23 p l a y e r s on the S team’s r o s t e r

this year, only seven were on the team last year.

A significant num-ber of former Steam players have moved

on to other hockey leagues.

“We really take pride in moving our players to a higher level,” Wilson said. He added that in the last two and a half years, nine players have advanced to Junior A or NCAA levels of hockey.

Despite the player changes, Wilson said the team has become a strong, cohesive unit.

“They’re a real-ly tight group,” he said. “They’ve stuck together through

thick and thin.”He added that

coach John DePourcq has worked well to develop the team.

At present, Sum-merland has a strong defence and ranks third in the league in goals against.

The team also plays against some of the strongest teams in the Kootenay Inter-national Junior Hock-ey League.

“We probably have the toughest division as far as the strength of the teams on the ice,” Wilson said.

Members of the Summerland Com-munity Arts Council are concerned about the long-term future of their gift shop and gallery.

For the past seven months, the gallery and gift shop have been in a retail build-ing on Main Street, but members of the arts council are con-cerned with the long-term future of this location.

Earlier, for 16 years, the gallery was in the former munici-pal building on Main Street, but the build-ing has been demol-ished as the property is the site of Summer-land’s new library branch.

Speaking to muni-cipal council, David Finnis, president of the arts council, said a permanent location is necessary.

“We’d like to have a permanent home,” he said. “We feel the community will lose if there isn’t a gal-lery.”

At present the municipality has approved funding for the arts council to continue renting its present Main Street location until the end of 2015.

Finnis is encour-aged that members of municipal council

have an interest in having the arts centre remain at its present location or some-where along Main Street.

Karan Bowyer, office manager for the arts centre, echoes the same concerns.

“It’s hard to act when we don’t know how long we will be here,” she said.

Almost a year ago, in late February, 2014, the former municipal building location was selected as the site for the new library branch.

In late spring, the arts council moved into a former retail building, also on Main Street.

The new location has worked well for the gift gallery, but not for exhibits.

The space is noisy, smaller than the for-

mer gallery space and lacking the necessary lighting.

“The art gallery space has changed considerably,” Finnis said.

Over the past week, the arts coun-cil has worked to install track lighting for its shows. The cost of this lighting is roughly $3,000, Fin-nis said. This money came from a gaming grant to improve the facility.

Painting the con-crete floor at the rear of the building is expected to cost another $3,000, he said.

Earlier improve-ments to the building have included paint-ing, constructing two offices and adding two sinks. Shelves for storage were con-structed in the back

room and emergency lighting was added.

Mayor Peter Waterman said he would like to keep the arts council on Main Street.

“One of council’s objectives is to be supportive of the arts in Summerland,” he said. “I’d like to see them in a stable situa-tion.”

Keeping the gal-lery and arts centre on Main Street would also help to strength-en the downtown area.

“We’ve got such a strong, diverse arts community,” he said. “It can be very good for Main Street.”

They’re still months away from starting, but local students interested in the late French immersion program are already showing promise in mathematics.

When the dead-line for registration passed at noon Mon-day, staff at the Oka-nagan Skaha School District had received 120 applications for the fall intake of the program, enough to fill precisely four 30-student classes to capacity.

“So the good news is everybody’s going to be accom-modated by the pro-gram,” superintend-ent Wendy Hyer told the school board at its meeting Monday.

The difficulty that remains is deciding where to place the classes.

Hyer said 75 of those who applied to the program, which begins in Grade 6, expressed an interest in attending at KVR Middle School in Pen-ticton, while the other 45 preferred Summer-land Middle School.

She recommended trustees immediate-ly commit to creat-ing two sections in Penticton and one in Summerland, then wait until mid-April to allow for any drop-outs before deciding where to place the fourth section.

Trustee Bruce John-son suggested the district do all it can to keep kids in their home communities to maintain enrolment numbers in future years. “It’s certainly advantageous to keep as many middle school students in

Summerland as pos-sible, because often if they have to go to Penticton, then they make friends and then Summerland Middle loses out and Summerland Second-ary,” Johnson said.

Hyer confirmed that is her intention.

In recent years, the school district has amended its policies to no longer guarantee entry to students who have an older sibling in French immersion and by random draw now allows students to decide in which community they want to attend, regardless of where they live.

As of December, there were 665 stu-dents — about 11 per cent of the district’s total enrolment — in French immersion classes from Grades 6 to 12.

Mailboxes opened

Mailboxes around the community were forced open on Jan. 30 and Feb. 2.

The incidents occurred on Simpson Road, Dale Mead-ows Road, Jones Flat Road, Peach Orchard Road and Woods Avenue.

Since December, police have been deal-ing with an ongoing rash of mail thefts around the Okanagan Valley.

VICTORIA – The B.C. education min-istry put on a forum on the future of edu-cation last week, bringing together public and private school leaders with experts from around the world.

I watched the pro-ceedings via webcast from the Wosk Centre for Dialogue in Van-couver, which gives you a hint about the forces pressing in on our century-old industrial model of schooling.

First up was Andreas Schleicher, on video link from his office in Paris, where he is direc-tor of education and skills for the Organ-ization for Economic Co-operation and Development. He began with the inter-national problem of people coming out of university who can’t find jobs, amid a skills shortage.

Schleicher said this is happening today because, “it’s not what you know but what you can do with what you know.” Some education sys-

tems are adapting better than others as the value of merely passing on facts has declined.

He said these days, almost any student can pass any mul-tiple-choice test if they have a smart-phone. The question for parents is what to do “if you want your child to be smarter than a smartphone.”

The OECD runs international test-ing that consistently ranks B.C. and Can-ada among the best schools in the world, and Schleicher described how that testing has evolved to keep up.

But our progress in the past 10 years has

tended to be slow-er than some Asian countries, despite B.C. being on the “high end of invest-ment” in education. He warned against the trap of the indus-trial school model, “pouring money in” to “do more of the same.”

Some of the best results emerging from a decade of digitally-driven globalization have been achieved through innovations that were financed through bigger class sizes, Schleicher said.

This was too much for one B.C. Teach-ers’ Federation repre-sentative in the audi-ence, who introduced herself as someone who spent the last transformational dec-ade working for the union, not in a class-room. She disputed the OECD’s financial calculations, lecturing some of the world’s top economists that based on “spend-ing power,” B.C. schools are cash starved.

She followed this with the laundry list of BCTF demands

that hasn’t changed in 40 years – smaller classes, more prep time, more money.

The keynote speak-er was Yong Zhao, University of Oregon professor of educa-tional measurement, who gave a highly entertaining critique of standardized test-ing and creativity-crushing drills of the basics. (You can find a video archive at www.bcedplan.ca.)

Yong sparked a lively discussion about the need for foundation skills, which he and others agreed remain vital to success. The issue seems to be how to instil those basics while avoiding the disengagement of students who see school as irrelevant to their lives.

Education Minis-ter Peter Fassbender announced at the forum that the prov-ince is about to unveil new curriculum that moves toward indi-vidual learning for all students. And he said there will be a series of experiments conducted at yet-to-

be-identified B.C. schools to pioneer new models of learn-ing.

BCTF president Jim Iker sat stoically through the proceed-ings, where speakers described integrating community groups and businesses dir-ectly with schools. That’s underway here, with trades training in particular.

Iker’s record on adaptation is clear from his own career. The only school where he actually taught was in the northwest B.C. vil-lage of Topley, and it closed in 2010 due to a long-term decline in rural students.

By 2001 Iker had left the classroom to work for the Burns Lake teacher union local, which the BCTF continues to staff eight years after that school district and others disappeared through amalgamation.

YOUR VIEWS

The members of the Summerland Community Arts Council would like to have some permanence.

At present, the arts centre and gal-lery is in a former retail location on Main Street, but questions have been raised about whether this will be a long-term location.

For 16 years, the gallery and arts cen-tre had a home in the former municipal hall on Main Street.

Last year, this facility arrangement came to an end as the location was announced as the site for Summerland’s new library branch.

Since moving into the present location, the arts council members have devoted plenty of time and money to making the space work for their needs.

The work is needed since a gallery space has different requirements and lighting needs than a retail space.

The changes are needed whether the present space is an interim location or a long-term facility.

Because the arts council is a non-profit organization operating on a limited budget, the cost of interior renovations is significant.

The gallery and arts centre fills an important need within the community.

Summerland has long had a strong artistic tradition and some artists from this community have received international acclaim for their works.

It is important not only to recognize their achievements but to continue to pro-vide an environment which encourages artistic endeavours.

The various shows at the gallery have become increasingly sophisticated and draw arts patrons from around the Okanagan.

And the arts council’s annual street banner project, entering its 17th year, has attracted interest from arts organizations in other communities.

The efforts to promote the arts are significant. But such efforts also require a long-term commitment and a permanent facility.

The early years

Happy Family DayFamily Day, a relatively new holiday in BC, was created to give people time to spend with their families. In 1969 this family spent some time together enjoying the view from the top of Giant’s Head Mountain though it obviously wasn’t on a special day in February. The trails to the summit as well as the view tubes and the rather nerve-wracking fence were established in 1967 as part of Summerland’s project celebrating Canada’s Centennial. While it’s a wonderful place to encourage togetherness and interaction, we highly recommend planning other activities for this Family Day and waiting for warmer weather before trekking up the mountain.

The early years

Dear Editor:In reference to

Mario Bergeron’s let-ter of Jan. 28 titled, Money needed for streets and trails, the information stated is totally incorrect.

Someone didn’t do

their homework.As per the infor-

mation on the project highway signage, it states that the Lake-side walkway project has an estimated cost of $500,000.

The rest of the facts

are that, of that total, the Municipality of Summerland put up $80,000, leaving the provincial share at $420,000.

As well, long before any provin-cial participation was

announced the muni-cipality provided $20,000 for some pre-liminary planning/drawings for the local committee that is pro-moting this project.

It was a concern of the council at the time

that no significant amount of money be put towards this pro-ject, that would take away from the repair/maintenance of our current road system.

Focus should be on maintaining and

upgrading current roads and trails.

As for the cost of the library,that is a pro-ject that is being paid for by the Okanagan Regional Library.

The roundabouts were paid for from

senior level govern-ment grants and development cost charges,which were specifically directed to projects on those roadways.

Bruce HallquistSummerland

Financial figures were incorrect

Dear Editor:Readers may be

interested to know that some informa-tion presented by Mr. Bergeron in his letter to the editor (Jan. 29) regarding the lake-side pathway project in Summerland is incorrect.

Mr. Bergeron stated that the Prov-ince of B.C.’s share of the project cost is

$650,000 and Sum-merland’s share is $450,000.

In fact, the total project cost is esti-mated at $500,000.

Last summer, the province announced it would contribute $420,000 and the Dis-trict of Summerland $80,000. (Previously, the District of Sum-merland contributed $20,000 for a design

concept.)The Summerland

Rotary Club and Okanagan Similka-meen Parks Society have also generously contributed financial and other resources.

Mr. Bergeron asks why we now need to acquire lakeshore land for $1 million.

Fortunately, there are no costs to acquire any land, as the land

required is owned by the Province of B.C.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure will manage trail con-struction.

When opened this spring, the 1.3-kilo-metre trail between Summerland Beach RV Park and Lake-shore Drive along Highway 97 will mark the completion

of a key phase of the lakeside trail.

Cyclists and walk-ers can look forward to terrific views and a safe, paved pathway accessible to wheel-chairs and strollers.

Our Trail of the Okanagans Commit-tee forecasts substan-tial and long-term health, recreational and economic bene-fits to the B.C. Interior

as this exciting pro-ject moves forward to eventually link with other communities.

Review

There is a core group of volunteers at the Summerland Seniors Village who have been there long-er than the staff.

Bob Glover, who was nominated for Volunteer of the Year in 2008, does a lot of one-on-one visiting with the residents.

“What I like to spe-cialize in, is visiting people that do not have anyone or those who are depressed. When they are pass-ing away and have no one, I have gone in and held their hand at the last moment,” said Glover. “I find it very rewarding and I’ve met an awful lot of very nice people over the years.”

Arlene Milne has been volunteering at the facility for seven years. She describes herself as being one of the biggest hug-gers in the world. “I hug them all.”

Milne assists the residents in attending the entertainment events such as happy hour, church services, birthday parties, pic-nics and scenic drives.

“I go and get them. I’ll comb their hair and make sure that they have their shoes on,” she said.

Also in her seventh year of volunteering at the Seniors Village, is Cheryl Cunning-ham. She visits resi-dents and accompan-ies them to appoint-ments as well.

Cunningham also does some practical things for the resi-dents. “Last week I brought glass cleaner

and went around and cleaned everybody’s glasses,” she said.

Connecting with the people who live at the village is what she enjoys the most.

“I like to hear them talk about when they were younger and to look at their pictures,” she said. “I ask them questions because it makes them feel important. Their world has dimin-ished. They were thriving family mem-bers with lots of chil-dren, jobs and activ-ities. Now here they are in small rooms with not much more than a photo album,” she explained.

Sometimes the vol-unteers come across someone who is feel-ing a little unsure or is crying. They will take a few minutes to sit down and talk or take them for a cup of coffee. “Maybe we can just brighten their day a little bit,” said Cunningham.

Glover thinks there are several reasons

why people choose to volunteer. It may be that they have known someone who has been cared for and it is a way for them to give back. Another reason may be that when people retire they need something to do.

“It gives you a rewarding feeling and it is a social thing too,” he said. “You get to know the resi-dents and the other people who are vol-unteering.”

For the past 30 years, Sheilagh Hoff-man has been volun-teering her time to play the piano at sev-eral facilities.

“It’s wonderful for me too,” she said. “I just love playing to nice audiences and it keeps my skills up.”

The Recreation Volunteer and Adult Day Services Man-ager for the Seniors Village is Mary Beth Rutherford. She said functions run so much nicer with the help of the volun-teers. “There is more

visiting and social-izing and it makes it that much more special for the resi-dents,” she said. “We just want our house to be more and more of a home.”

Recently students have been coming in to help with bingo, bowling, arts and crafts and teaching technology.

“If people come in with an idea, we can see if we can make it work,” said Ruth-erford.

The Volunteers at the Summerland Seniors Village are viewed as part of the team, Rutherford said, adding that programs cannot run without them.

“We’ve been bless-ed with some long-term volunteers,” she said, “but we are always looking for more, that is for sure.”

The invitation to volunteer also comes from Milne. “I always suggest it to people, why don’t you come and volunteer?”

February is the month of love, romance and hearts.

But did you know that every seven min-utes someone in Can-ada dies from heart disease or stroke? And if that isn’t enough to make your heart hurt, nine in 10 Canadians already have at least one risk factor for heart dis-ease and 25 per cent have three or more risk factors.

The good news is that we can reduce our risk of heart disease by up to 80 per cent with some simple (and maybe surprising) lifestyle changes. You may already be familiar with the tried-and-true ways of lowering your risk: quit smok-ing, eat a healthy diet, and exercise. Be a quitter

Smoking increas-es a person’s risk of developing heart dis-ease and stroke by contributing to the build up of plaque in arteries, and an increase in blood pressure and reduced oxygen in the blood. Quitting smoking can be one of the most challenging habits to break. It is important to seek out help. Talk with your doctor or visit quitnow.ca or call 1-877-455-2233.Eat heart smart

A heart healthy diet includes eat-ing an abundance of fruit and vegetables, using plant and seed oils, including more whole (unprocessed) grains, and focusing on lean meats, poult-ry, and oily fish. It is important to avoid foods high in satur-ated or trans fats. For more information call 1-888-HSF-INFO for

a free copy of Heart-Healthy Eating Guide for your Family from the Heart and Stroke Foundation.Get moving

Aim for at least 30 minutes a day of moderate activity such as brisk walking, bowling, dancing, vacuuming, swim-ming and gardening. Breaking it up into chunks of 10 or 15 minutes counts too.

But don’t stop there. Research shows there are other, unexpected things you can do to improve your heart health.Laugh

Whether you like watching Family Guy or Seinfeld reruns, if it gets you chuck-ling, it’s good for your heart. Laughing dilates blood vessels, increasing blood flow and reducing blood pressure. Research from the University of Maryland Med-ical Center shows that laughter helps relieve the stress that damages the lining of blood vessels and helps your blood flow. Eat chocolate

The benefits from chocolate may come from flavonoids, compounds in choco-late, especially dark chocolate, thought to help protect cells against damage.

A number of stud-ies suggest that eat-ing dark chocolate may decrease your risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. So how much choc-olate are we talking about? About two small squares or six to seven grams per day.Pet your pet

People with pets tend to have lower blood pressure and decreased risk from heart disease than those who don’t. Pet owners tend to get more physical activ-ity, and as well com-panionship with pets can boost levels of anti-stress hormones. Sleep

Sleeping for six hours or less per night, may increase your heart disease risk by almost 50 per cent. Too little shut eye can increase

blood pressure and cholesterol, and has been implicated in developing Type 2 diabetes. But over-sleeping (greater than nine hours) boosts your chances as well.Meditate

Taking a few min-utes to relax each day, using deep breathing, quiet con-templation or sus-tained focus can be a great way to affect heart health for the better; anxiety and stress cause blood pressure to shoot up and leave us on edge, triggering spikes in heart-harming stress hormones.

Let’s use the Heart month to focus on taking care of our hearts by giving some of these heart-healthy habits a try. Your heart and your loved ones will love

you for it.If you would like to

find out more about living a heart healthy lifestyle, you are wel-come to attend the next session of Your Happy Healthy Heart at the Summerland Health Centre Feb. 10 from 9 to 11 a.m. Registration is free by calling 250-770-3550.

Sweet Deals Are BackFor All Of February

Hearts and Valentine’s Day are forever intertwined. One of the most recogniz-able symbols of love is the modest heart, and hearts adorn candy boxes and cook-ies while paper hearts are pinned to doors or windows as a symbol of Valentine’s Day. Young valentines may share candy hearts printed with silly sentiments.

A symbolic heart bears no resemblance to an anatomical heart, and yet it is used to represent the deepest feelings of affec-tion a person can share. Some may won-der just how the emotions of love became tied up in the shape of a heart, even though it’s widely known that the brain, and not the heart, governs affections.

In ancient times, people believed that the heart was the center of all human emotions. Since the heart is prominently located in the center of the chest and the middle of the body, it became the corner-stone of human feelings. Love is con-sidered to be one of the most profound and strongest human emotions, therefore it was reasoned that the feeling must emanate from the heart.

Surprisingly, the heart has not always been the only organ associated with love. During the Middle Ages, the heart was deemed a useless organ. Followers of the Greek physician Galen theorized that the

liver actually was the seat of the soul and love.

The first depictions of a symbolic heart date back to the 11th century, when the heart was drawn to resemble a pinecone held upside down with the point facing upward. The scalloped heart that is more familiar today first arose in the early 14th century. Around the same time, the heart was depicted with the point facing down-ward and the indentation at the base.

Naturally, as time passed and more was learned about human anatomy, it became obvious that the brain was the seat of all emotion and thought processes. However, as the brain was something intangible in a living body in ancient times, and the beating heart could be much more readily monitored - with a pulse rate speeding up when a person is excited or aroused - it’s easy to see how the link between the heart and love has endured.

Although the human heart is not bright red like symbolic hearts, that was the color chosen. Red has long been associ-ated with passion, so it made sense to depict the heart in a bright red hue.

Many other theories have been offered regarding the symbolic heart and its representation of love. While there’s no definitive correlation between love and hearts, the heart has become an accepted symbol of the emotion and the season of romance.

Valentine’s Day gift givers can look to a number of gifts that are very thoughtful but needn’t take more than a little forethought.

• Gift card: You may be thinking a gift card doesn’t sound that thoughtful. However, when paired with a listing of gift items, it’s easy to illustrate the thought that went into the gift. It may make sense to simply purchase one of those interesting items, but this way you’re giving the recipient the choice of what he or she really wants to select.

• Something engraved or monogrammed: A simple scarf turns into something more spe-cial when it includes monogrammed initials or a special saying. The same can be said for anything from a picture

frame to candle hold-ers. Taking the time to have something mono-grammed or engraved imparts thoughtfulness into the gift.

• Pet accessories: People view their pets as members of the family and often as small children (when small children are not yet present). Especially during the dating stage, providing an adorable gift for his or her pet may be seen as a heart-felt gesture. Be sure to pick up a little some-thing for the pet parent as well, though.

• Hobby gifts: Recog-nizing the interests of a loved one is a clear sign that you’re in tune with what he or she enjoys to do. If you have an avid reader on your hands, a new e-reader or some e-books may be ideal. Sports fans

could appreciate tickets to the next home game of their favorite team. Someone who dabbles in culinary creations may delight over a gift basket full of top-of-the-line cooking utensils.

• A spending spree: Take your Valentine to his or her favorite

store and encourage him or her to pick out a few favorite items. Set a price limit or let them choose regardless of price. This way you can spend time together and see the joy on your Valentine’s face when he or she is choosing treasured items.

While the minor softball season will not begin for several months, the Summer-land Minor Softball Association is offer-ing training to help players hone their skills.

The participants range in age from U8 to U19 for C-level ball. For those under the U8 level, there is the Learn to Play pro-gram.

“We haven’t had the U8s and U10s for a few years,” said Cynthia Cutt of the minor softball association.”To have a team this year is good news because they will become players to support the teams as they get older.”

Last year 50 play-ers registered in Sum-merland Minor Soft-ball.

The season begins in the third week of April and continues

until the end of June. Playdowns and dis-trict championships are also held in June.

Joe Cutt, one of the organizers of the pro-gram, said the winter training provides an introduction to the game for younger players.

“Every kid gets to hit the ball a lot and run a lot,” he said.

The younger play-ers in the U8 and U10 age categories practice on Monday evenings, while those in the U16 and U19 age levels practice on Tuesday evenings.

When the season begins in spring, the young players will have skills they need for the game.

He added that Summerland’s play-ers will face teams from around the Oka-nagan this year.

The association covers Salmon Arm and Sicamous to the Similkameen and Princeton.

The indoor train-ing takes place at the Giant’s Head Elementary School gym on Monday and Tuesday evenings from Thanksgiving through November and then from Janu-ary to Spring Break.

Boys are welcome to join and can play on a team with the girls.

“Softball is a lot of fun mixed with learning with vari-ous softball clinics held up and down the Okanagan Val-ley as well,” Cynthia Cutt said. “As well as having the C level there is A and B ball and it is very excit-ing to watch and play.”

For more infor-mation about minor softball, contact Carol Van Balkom at 250-494-4194 or Cyn-thia Cutt at 250-404-0519.

Registrations are still accepted. To register call Mae Kru-ger at 250-494-1199.

Softball players honing their skills

Justin Kripps and Bryan Barnett fin-ished in the top 10 in World Cup two-man bobsleigh action on the weekend.

Kripps, of Sum-merland and Barnett of Edmonton had a two-run 10th-place time of 1:59.40 on the 1,507-metre track at La Plagne, France on Saturday.

“We put together two good pushes and two good runs so I was happy with our

performance even though the speed wasn’t there,” Kripps said.

He added that despite not perfect

driving, the Can-adians seem to be getting outgunned on equipment this year.

“ W e definite-ly don’t have the f a s t e s t s t a r t s yet. We are striv-ing for that, but we are in the mix,”

he said. “I just feel the drive

is much better than a lot of sleds, but we still seem to be much slower than most of the field unless we are on more difficult tracks where we can separate ourselves a bit more.”

Kripps, Barnett earn top 10 bobsleigh win

Batting practiceDanica Yeoman, five years old, swings during a softball practice at Giant’s Head School. The softball season runs from April to June, but win-ter training is offered until spring break.

“We put together two good pushes and two good runs so I was happy with our perform-ance even though the speed wasn’t there.”

Our bodies are meant to naturally cleanse themselves of toxins; however, in the world today, the human body has to process more toxic chemicals than ever before. Air pollution, pesticides and other chemicals end up in our soil, water, and food supply and ultimately into our bodies. As the levels of pollution and waste increase in our environment, they overwhelm our bodies’ ability to remove them. Taking cleansing herbs daily is a simple way to help counteract the accumulation of toxins and wastes. Blessed thistle clears liver congestion and supports skin detoxification. This bitter plant is also a digestive tonic that helps relieve indigestion. Burdock is a cleansing herb that supports liver functioning. It is also helpful in the treatment of skin disease. Kelp is a mineral-rich seaweed that promotes healthy bowels. Kelp contains more than two dozen important minerals, as well as proteins, carbohydrates and essential fatty acids. Sheep sorrel is known to be a diuretic and gentle laxative that cleanses the bowels. Slippery elm helps remove phlegm, mucus and other matter from the respiratory tract. It is also nourishing and is known for its diuretic properties. Turkish rhubarb normalizes the functions and tissues of the body and improves digestion. It also provides detoxification support to the digestive system, colon, liver, and blood. Red clover promotes healthy cell production. This antioxidant supports the kidneys as well as the urinary system. Watercress is used for its detoxifying and restorative properties. It is also known for being a diuretic. All eight of these detoxifying and cleansing herbs can be found in Flor•Essence® Herbal Tea Blend.Our kidneys and liver are the two organs that do the majority of detoxifying wastes and toxins that we take in from food and the environment. They cleanse our blood, break down and neutralize wastes and toxins, and send waste products on for elimination. The cleansing herbs mentioned in this article, with their diuretic effects and promotion of healthy digestion and elimination, support these natural detoxification processes. Our kidneys and liver are very resilient and good at their jobs, but due to aging, chronic stress, poor diets and refined foods, as well as increased exposure to toxins, they need some help and support. Cleansing herbs come together to help your body gently draw out, break down, and eliminate these wastes and toxins so that you can function at your best. A detoxifying herbal tea blend that contains these herbs can help protect you from the build-up of toxins that accumulates over time in your organs and cells, promoting a healthier and more radiant you.

Forum to examine economic developmentSummerland Review Thursday, February 5, 2015 L i f e s t y L e www.summerlandreview.com 15

Next Wednesday, Feb. 11 will be the second Philosophers’ Cafe of 2015.

This Cafe will fea-ture a very timely and important topic for our community: Economic Develop-ment for a Small Community.

There will be a panel, consisting

of representatives from the local busi-ness community, agri-business and tourism, who will provide insights into what special ingredi-ents are needed for an economically sustain-able Summerland.

The great thing about Philosophers’ Cafes is that they are

two way streets. Those attending

can ask questions and provide input after the presenters have made their com-ments.

Here’s your oppor-tunity to put in your two cents’ worth about how to turn those empty stores into active, economic

engines. This Philosophers’

Café will be at the IOOF Hall at 9536 Main St. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the formal discussion starts at 7 p.m. Admis-sion is by donation. There will be coffee, tea and refreshments available.

To find out more

about this Cafe and the upcoming ones in March and April you can like their Face-book page: facebook.com/Summerland-PhiloCafe.

One building that is bringing people to Main Street is the Arts Centre.

It will be open in the evening of Thurs-day, Feb. 5 for the first show of 2015.

The opening recep-tion is from 7 to 9 p.m. so drop by and enjoy a glass of wine pro-vided by Bottleneck Drive and the show Talking to Strangers.

If you are unable to attend the open-ing the there will be an artist talk at 2 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 6 where Bill Edmunds

will discuss the story behind his work.

Shaw Television will be interviewing Edmunds this com-ing week and will be broadcasting this interview on Go Oka-nagan! at a later date.

You are encour-aged to get your tickets soon for the

popular Cafe Noir fundraiser being held Saturday, Feb. 21 at the Arts Centre.

This fundraiser for the arts will feature music by Almost a Few, specialty coffees provided by Darin Fair of Lone Tree Cof-fee and great local wine from Bottleneck Drive.

Your ticket will also give you an original clay mug thrown by local pot-ters to take home as well as a very sump-tuous dessert.

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

Café Noir will be held at the gallery on Main Street on Saturday, Feb. 21 beginning at 7:30 p.m.

Karan Bowyer, office man-ager at the gallery, said Darin Fair of Lone Tree Coffee will

have a portable cappuccino machine at the event.

In addition, Bottleneck Drive, representing 13 Sum-merland wineries, will also be present.

Chocolate-themed desserts will be provided by Summer-land Bakers.

Those attending the event will also receive a handmade

mug, crafted by members of the Summerland Potters’ Guild, to take home with them.

Music will be provided by Almost A Few, a jazz guitar duo.

The fundraiser is sponsored by Lone Tree Coffee, Bottle-neck Drive, the British Col-umbia Arts Council and the municipality of Summerland.

Banners created by Summerland chil-dren and adults will be on display around the community again this year as the Sum-merland Commun-ity Arts Council will

hold its 17th annual banner project.

Painting begins on Monday, March 16 and continues through Spring Break until April 19.

This year’s theme

is Pictures of Sun-shine. Karan Bowyer, office manager at the arts council, urges interested participants to register and submit their designs early.

There are a total of

40 street banners to be painted this year.

A year ago, some who had wanted to paint banners were not able to do so because of the popu-larity of the program.

Banner painting begins in March

A contribution from an ongoing bottle drive initiative is providing stuffed toys for children at the Penticton Region-al Hospital.

Pat Wand runs the bottle drive, 52 weeks a year, every

Saturday at the Sum-merland IGA and the Penticton IGA from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Funds raised go to charity. All of the funds raised go towards the Penticton SPCA, Summerland Critteraid, Summer-

land Food Bank and Penticton Regional Hospital, for the new Patient Care Tower.

Over the past six years Pat has donated more than $33,000 for the maternity, nurs-ery and pediatric departments at the

Penticton Regional Hospital.

As well as donat-ing funds Wand pur-chases stuffed toys for children coming to the Penticton Region-al Hospital and the Summerland Health Centre for surgery.
