SUMMERLAND REVIEWTHE VOICE OF OUR COMMUNITY SINCE 1908 WWW.SUMMERLANDREVIEW.COM

How plants surviveLogan Gottwald and Matthew Winchester, Grade 3 students from Giant’s Head School, are studying plants in a butterfly garden. Their class was visit-ing the Summerland Ornamental Gardens recently to learn more about how plants adapt to survive in the hot, dry Okanagan.

Public surveyed on direction of communitySurveys will be sent to

1,000 Summerland house-holds as municipal coun-cil seeks input about the direction and priorities of the community.

Municipal clerk Mau-reen Fugeta said the sur-veys will be sent to ran-dom households in the community. The structure and questions will be similar to a survey sent out in 2009.

The surveys were sent

out last week.Mayor Janice Perrino

said the last survey iden-tified five areas of prior-ity for the community.

These were the water treatment plant, road work, affordable housing, a new RCMP detachment and sidewalks.

“All five goals were completed,” Perrino said. “We fixed the water treat-ment plant, built the Prai-rie Valley Road Rosedale

Avenues, redid the zon-ing bylaw to help build more affordable housing, the RCMP detachment will open in July and sidewalks on Prairie Val-ley Road and Rosedale Avenue are completed.”

Municipal staff are ask-ing that the surveys be returned to the munici-pality by July 16, giving residents around a month to complete them.

While the questions

are similar to those from the last survey, a new question will be added. The question is, what do you think Summerland’s vision should be?

Fugeta said the response to the last sur-veys was low, with 563 of the 1,000 returned.

The survey in 2009 was 10 pages long. The results were compiles in a 99-page report. While residents were mostly

satisfied with the com-munity, transportation issues were addressed, including the lack of tran-sit and the lack of side-walks. Limited opportun-ities for dining, shopping and entertainment were also mentioned, as were the limited hours busi-nesses are open.

Municipal council modified some of its goals and objectives as a result of the survey responses.

Petition calls for sani-dumpMore than 200 signa-

tures have been collected on a petition urging the municipality to set up a sani-dump facility for recreational vehicle oper-ators to dump their sew-age.

In the past, a facility was in place at Peach Orchard Beach and more recently on Highway 97 just north of Trout Creek.

That facility was closed last summer and coun-cil has said it will not reopen.

The closure came because heavy use of the facility and illegal dump-

ing caused problems at Summerland’s sewage treatment facility.

Keith Dunn, who cir-culated the petition, said Summerland needs a sani-dump facility in the community.

The closest facility is at the Canadian Tire store in Penticton.

There is also a sani-dump site in West Kelow-na.

Dunn said there is a need in Summerland, for residents and visitors alike.

He said the Highway 97 site should not be used

in the future.“I don’t think it should

be on the highway at all,” he said. “That was the worst possible place for it.”

Instead, he said a spot across from Peach Orchard Campground or across from the Sum-merland Arena would be preferred.

Since those locations are farther from the sew-age treatment plant than the Highway 97 location, wastes would be diluted before they reached the treatment plant.

He added that students

should be hired through-out the summer to mon-itor the use of the facility.

Mayor Janice Perrino said the municipality looked at nine sites for a possible sani-dump facil-ity after the Trout Creek location was closed. All nine were not suitable.

In the future, when the Bentley Road area is developed, she said it could be a possible site for a sani-dump facility.

The area across from Peach Orchard Camp-ground is not suitable since it is the site of the Adams Bird Sanctuary.

The area near the arena is busy throughout the year with arena traffic.

Perrino added that the costs of a sani-dump facil-ity are significant.

Setting up the facil-ity would cost at least $100,000. Staffing costs must also be considered as two to three people would be needed in order to provide proper levels of staffing.

She added that a pri-vate business would be welcome to set up a sani-dump facility, but so far none have offered to do so.

Filial Duty

Filial Duty is a phrase not many people have

likely heard. It's the duty of a child to care

for his or her parent. There is legislation

in British Columbia that sets out this duty.

This law is now being put to the test. A case

was commenced in the South Okanagan

with this duty as its centerpoint. A mother is

suing her son for money to cover her future

care. Whether or not she is successful will

depend on the circumstances of the case.

Whether you agree with such a law or not

it certainly raises very interesting questions

and debate.

Big tree coming downA large tree beside

Highway 97 will come down since it obscures the sign for the Mac’s and Petro-Canada location on Rosedale Avenue.

On June 11, council passed a resolution to remove the mature London Plane tree.

Bob DiCastri, land-lord of the Mac’s and Petro-Canada store, said his sign was not visible to motor-ists coming from the north.

“One tree is all

we’re talking about,” he said.

Mayor Janice Per-rino said officials with the provincial Ministry of Trans-portation and High-ways planted the tree around 22 years ago, after the store sign was already in place.

The tree is now under the care of the municipality.

To discour-age others from requesting tree remov-als, she suggested the store owner pay for

the cost of replacing the tree with two new trees.

While members of council were uneasy with removing a healthy tree, the sug-gestion to replant trees in exchange was accepted.

“I do not like to see a tree cut down, but I could support this motion,” said Coun. Lloyd Christopher-son.

Coun. Orv Rob-son said a one-time request was accept-

able, but he would not support the removal of multiple trees.

“It’s one tree and that’s all,” he said.

“I wouldn’t vote for it if it was more than one tree.”

The replacement trees and the location will be chosen by the director of parks and recreation.

The resolution was supported unani-mously. Coun. Bruce Hallquist was not present at the meet-ing.

Bruised by axA family fight ended with a grandmother

being bruised on the ankle by an ax that bounced off a wall. A 20-year-old male alleged-ly threw the ax at his brother after damaging vehicles parked in the driveway. He is charged with assault with a weapon and mischief. The disturbance occured on Gayton Street June 16.Public indecency

Police received a report of a man masturbat-ing in public in a washroom at Peach Orchard Beach the afternoon of June 13. The person was described as about 35, with dirty blond hair, grey shorts and a black shirt.Dirk bike event over

A dirt bike event along Bathville Road was broken up by police on June 14. The event is an annual one, police said, but it is not permit-ted within the municipality.Intoxicated man picked up

An intoxicated man staggering along Prairie Valley Road near Haddrell Street was picked up by police and taken to Penticton jail cells to sober up. The incident occurred early in the morning June 16.Yard sale furniture gone

A wooden folding table and four chairs left outside overnight for the next day’s yard sale were reported early June 16 from Temple Court.

Feeding timeJohn Te Brinke of the Mobile Dairy Classroom Experience, feeds

New ConnectEd rolefor vice-principal

Doug MacDon-ald, vice-principal of Summerland Sec-ondary School, has been appointed prin-cipal of ConnectEd, the school district’s alternative education program.

ConnectEd offers a variety of learn-ing opportunities for school aged and adult learners. It includes the district’s Adult

Learning Centres, K to 12 Distributed Learning, Penticton Alternate Education and Hospital Home-bound Programs.

MacDonald is cur-rently vice-principal at Summerland Sec-ondary School, a pos-ition he has held since 1993. Prior to that, he worked as a teacher at Summerland Sec-ondary for 14 years.

VICTORIA - The B.C. gov-ernment has taken some mod-est steps to tighten up the prov-ince’s income assistance sys-tem, and to encourage people to work when they are able to.

With Premier Christy Clark swooping in to take credit, Social Development Minis-ter Steph-anie Cadieux unveiled chan-ges that includ-ed fixing the worst mistake in B.C. Liberal policy. Cadieux acknowledged that B.C. was the only prov-ince that clawed back all earn-ings from employable welfare recipients, and she announced that from now on they will be able to earn up to $200 a month without penalty. The exemption for disabled people is increased from $500 to $800 a month.

Another important change is requiring welfare recipients to file income tax returns. People can now do temporary work when it comes along, report the income and take advan-tage of the various tax credits that come from participating in society instead of just living off it. Any experience earning money is valuable experience.

With baby boomers starting to retire in big numbers, the expected labour shortage has begun across Western Canada. And, yet, increasing numbers of foreign workers are coming in to do farm and other work, while many young people are unemployed.

Finance Minister Kevin Fal-con took note of this during his budget preparations. Increas-ing numbers of young, employ-able people were applying for welfare in southern B.C., while jobs go begging in the booming northeast. Falcon mused about setting up a program to pro-vide training and plane fare for these people, an idea quickly dubbed “welfare air.”

Another effort to get young people working is Jobfest, a rock-themed road show cur-

rently touring northern B.C. towns. It attracts young people with music and souvenirs like drumsticks and guitar picks, and offers them skills assess-ment using sexy iPad apps and graphics that depict carpentry as cool.

If Jobfest and welfare air sound a bit desperate, it’s because they are. They illus-trate our society’s problem. We have a public school system where students pass whether they do the work or not. The culture assumes self-esteem is more important than achieve-ment. The teachers’ union con-stantly sets an example that the way to get what you want is to stamp your feet and demand it from government.

And how easy is it for B.C. to slip into a Greece-like tail-spin, where a majority expects

to be carried on the backs of the shrinking minority who do productive work?

Old-timers might recall when Mike Harcourt’s NDP government took over from the allegedly miserly Social Credit regime and raised welfare rates. They compounded that mistake by relaxing eligibility rules and making it easier for employ-able people to stay on welfare. Faced with the results of this staggering blunder, Harcourt lashed out at “cheats, dead-

beats and varmints” scamming B.C. taxpayers and launched a crackdown on fraud. Later the NDP cut the basic rate for single employables to $500 a month.

Today it stands at $610, and the NDP looks poised to repeat history. Surrey MLA Jagrup Brar did a month-long pub-licity stunt in January, living on welfare by wandering from shelter to food bank with TV cameras trailing behind. Brar would have been better off if welfare air had been available. Instead of learning to live off the burgeoning urban handout industry, he could have gone up to Dawson Creek or Fort St. John and worked as a labourer.

SUMMERLAND REVIEWA PART OF THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1908 WWW.SUMMERLANDREVIEW.COM

Judging by the number of names on a recent petition, there is a desire for a sani-dump facility in Summerland.

The com-munity’s ear-lier facility was closed because of the risks for the sewage treat-ment plant.

While there are advantages to having a sani-dump site in Summerland, a suitable loca-tion has not been found. There are also costs involved.

If a facility is to be installed in the future, much planning will be needed. We do not want to have a messy problem resulting from such a facility.

culls

In a few weeks, the Summer-land Legion will organize Canada Day celebrations.

While July 1 does not receive the same level of participation as Action Fes-tival in early June, Canada Day remains important.

Those who are organizing the event deserve thanks for their efforts and those who will attend deserve thanks for taking time to celebrate this country in which we live.

ourpickSpeaking up

to be heardIn a democracy, one of the

saddest complaints is from those who believe they have no voice, no input into the decision-making process.

This complaint is repeated-ly made about the federal gov-ernment, the provincial gov-ernment and Summerland’s municipal government.

At times, there have been reasons for this level of frustra-tion. Some governments and some leaders have acted with extreme arrogance and as a result, the voters did not believe they had much say if any in the decision-making process.

However, voters also have a responsibility to get involved. In the last municipal election, just 36.1 per cent of voters cast ballots. In the last federal election, voter turnout was 62.69 per cent.

This means vast numbers are not involved in decisions which affect them directly.

A survey, which has been sent out by the municipality to 1,000 homes in Summerland, is intended to get some feed-back from the public.

The results of the sur-vey will be used to identify what Summerlanders see as the priorities for the next few years and the direction they would like the community to take.

The last such survey was in 2009 and it identified several concerns which were later addressed. Transportation issues especially were high-lighted.

However, only 563 of the 1,000 surveys were returned that year. Many who were given a chance to speak out chose not to do so.

The silence is disappoint-ing, since decisions made at the council table affect Summerlanders much more than decisions by any other level of government.

The municipal government deals with issues of zoning, roads, water, parks and other items which affect our day-to-day lives.

If you are one of the survey recipients, please get involved and speak out. It’s your chance to be heard.

THE EARLY YEARS

Hat vs. helmetJune is Brain Injury Awareness Month — a good time to stress the importance of wearing a helmet when cycling. In 1919, no one even thought of wearing a bicycle helmet to protect themselves in case of a fall, and while the fashionable hats they wore may have looked substantial, they wouldn’t have done much to cushion a meeting of head and road. We’ve learned a lot since then, including the important fact that wearing a helmet is the smart (and stylish) thing to do. Protect your brain — it’s the only one you have.

Dear Editor:This year I was a

member of the Third Summerland Guides.

Next year I will be moving up to Path-finders, but I wanted to share with you my experience in guid-ing.

We did lots of fun things, includ-ing making crafts,

earning badges and going camping. My favourite thing was having a sleepover in the youth hall, just having fun with my friends.

I am also having fun with the lady Baden Powell Challenge, which is the highest award in our level in guiding. It has taught

me so much. I have also learned other things in Guides. We learned about manag-ing money when we sold cookies, learned about problems in the world at Think-ing Day ceremonies and learned about our country, town, heritage and our-selves while working

on badges.At camps, we also

learned other skills like cooking, leav-ing a trail, setting up tents and lots more.

We had so much fun doing everything that I suggest it to all girls.

Parents can be a part of it too by coming to help with

meetings.If you are interest-

ed in learning more about girl Guides, go to www.girlguides.ca or contact Heather Martin at 250-494-0039 or e-mail her at 2ndsummerlandpath-finders@gmail.com.

Guiding was a positive experience

Apology for moving items from gravesDear Editor:I would like to

apologize to all people affected by the recent removal of all per-sonal offerings and belongings from the gravesites at the Can-yon View Cemetery in Summerland.

The decision to strictly enforce the

Cemetery Bylaw and remove these items was a mistake as it did not take into account the emotion-al impact the removal would have on loved ones.

It was also an error in judgement not to advise council that the removal of items

was being contem-plated as I am cer-tain if council was properly advised they would not have allowed the removals to proceed.

To ensure that this type of event is not repeated, we will be amending the Cem-etery Bylaw to make

it easier to read and understand and to allow more flexibility in the interpretation. We will be preparing a policy that outlines the procedures for maintaining the cem-etery and an informa-tion pamphlet that can be handed out to the public.

We will also be providing training for staff to ensure they understand their responsibilities.

Although the documents will be prepared by staff, we will be soliciting input from the public and will be bringing the proposed docu-

ments and the pub-lic’s input forward to council for considera-tion.

I realize we cannot expect forgiveness as the depth of pain this event has caused is simply unforgivable. I would however ask that you consider accepting my sin-

cere apology and my assurance that the required changes will be made to prevent this type of event from ever happening again.

Memories were stolen

Dear Editor:I just came from

visiting my son’s grave at the Summer-land Cemetery. and I felt that I had been violated. My son’s resting spot for the last 10 years had been vandalized.

Special mementoes that not only myself but his sisters and friends have placed to be close to Mark, so that when we visit, these small memen-toes remind us of spe-cial memories that we have of him.

These memories have been stolen, as if our memories are meaningless and insignificant.

I buried my son here so that I could visit and remember the 16 years that I had with him.

Our cemetery looks cold, unvisited, as if it has been scorched to the very depths of the ground where my son lies.

When I go out to see my son, I could tell if he has had vis-itors or not by what notes or tokens they would leave.

I get a great feel-ing of warmth when I know other people still think of my son.

All I can think of now is how some stranger callously picked at my son’s grave with no feelings and easily discarded my memories.

Any given day you can walk by this cem-etery and see how many people come out and visit their loved ones.

You can see how we not only tend to our own spot, but if we see flowers blown around, plants top-pled over, we reach out and tidy it up.

I did read about the request to remove items, and I did go out and remove a pole I had stuck in the grass which was where I would attach balloons.

But the rest of my memories were lovingly placed on the grave itself.

My husband did find a couple of items discarded across the road from the cem-etery, but a few items are gone forever, including his soccer ball that he loved.

I feel so empty, so betrayed by my town, and most of all, I feel that my son’s exist-ence has been pur-posely erased.

I feel for everyone that has experienced this violation and I only hope that the powers to be that made this decision, never have to take their surviving child to visit their brother or sister and be told that they can’t leave a note or picture that they drew.

Loss of items from gravefeels like personal attack

Dear Editor:My husband, Pete,

and I are included in the many residents that were shocked and saddened to find everything removed from Canyonview Cemetery.

Our much-loved son, Michael, was buried there in 1999 and in the years fol-lowing we have paid hundreds of visits to his graveside and loved the fact that it was so beautiful and peaceful.

Mike’s items taken were mostly new: silk flowers in a holder that fit perfectly in the cutout on the cement which his sister sent from 2,500 kilometres away in May of this year, a stone she sent from Montreal not long after Mike passed away and a solar light we had

just purchased.The writing Lori put

on the stone had long since disappeared but it was used to sup-port many bunches of fresh flowers over the years so they would not be scattered to the wind and it had great sentimental value to us.

None of these were in the stack of salvaged items so I guess it was thought they had no worth.

My heart was broken and I honestly felt as if it was a per-sonal attack.

I am actually shocked by how badly I felt and still feel.

Upon reflection upon the whole situa-tion, I think I am most angry that this had to happen because funding has become so inadequate to

maintain what is near and dear to us.

We can spend thou-sands of dollars to erect a fancy sign on the highway telling

strangers to come to Summerland which I don’t think will help a bit.

We have travelled extensively and know from experience it would not entice us. We will, however, make a town our destination in order

to visit the graves of loved ones who have passed.

I can just imagine how many people will return to our town,

go to our cemetery remembering how it was when their loved ones were laid to rest just to feel the same sadness and disgust I now feel when I go there.

Linda D. RoddSummerland

Dear Editor: I watched the

news Wednesday evening to find our cemetery desecrated. Not by vandals but by our trusted rep-resentatives, on pur-pose. As I watched the pictures on the TV, I relived my loss, I felt betrayed, I felt anger. When I look at the cemetery now, I see a barren, ugly nothing! How could a thinking person not realize the feelings of hurt and betrayal that such an act would

cause? I lost my daughter

in 1979. From time to time I would take things up there to share with her. Never in all those years has there been anything said or done to inform me that this place I considered mine and my daughter’s would not be respected.

There was a piece of slate on my daugh-ter’s grave. Placed on the cement pad. That is missing. It was explained to me that all things had been

moved to the shed and then to the yards. I could not find it anywhere! Since these things do not evaporate some one knows where it is. I want it.

The apology we got on the TV came from a very compas-sionate man; sorry to say it came from the wrong person.

An apology should have been made to people from the mayor, who is sup-posed to be the spokesperson for this

town.Also I wish to com-

mend the ladies who work in the Engin-eering Public Works office.

They are so very kind and com-passionate but explaining things should not have been their responsibility. It should have come from the head of the Public Works, who gave the order. He should be the one on the firing line.

Next step direct online sales of wineDear Editor,Over the past 25

years, the Okanag-an has been trans-formed.

We still have our beautiful lakes and mountains, but we’ve seen bare land and orchards become vineyards, and the

wines produced here are considered to be amongst the best in the world.The more than 120 wineries in the Thompson Oka-nagan provide jobs and entice visitors.

Wineries are often paired with golf courses, restaurants,

and cultural experi-ences that are enjoyed by locals and tourists alike.

The recent passage of federal bill C311 which removed bar-riers in moving of wine between prov-inces received unani-mous support in the

House of Commons, thanks to the tireless efforts of MP Dan Albas.

Now, it’s up to the provinces to open the doors to allow for direct sales through e-commerce.

I was pleased to read in a June 14th

opinion piece by Min-ister Rich Coleman that B.C. is prepared to champion further changes and reforms, and to open up e-commerce for direct wine shipment.

I spoke to our local MLA Bill Barisoff, who also expressed

his support for a move in this direc-tion.

Now is the time to get behind our provincial politicians along all party lines, and take the lead in Canada to finish the good work that began with the passage of

C311.Who can argue

with more jobs, and a much needed boost in the local economy?

How hard is itto use crosswalk?

Dear Editor:What the heck is the matter with people? I use both crosswalks on

either side of this intersection.This is safe and only takes a minute longer to cross. Vehicles do stop

at these crosswalks.I have seen kids, women with baby strollers, etc., wait many minutes

for traffic to pass and then take a huge chance that they may not get hit crossing at this intersection.

Cars do not have to stop for these people to cross. They could have crossed faster by using the marked crosswalk.

These people should be ticketed. Someone will get hit, and when this happens, do not cry foul at

city hall. I will have no sympathy for anyone who does not use the intended crosswalks.

Shame on the businesses for getting people to sign a petition for a crossing that is so unsafe.

There are vehicles exiting from a number of different businesses, right hand turns and left hand turns which is significant as to why this intersection is so unsafe. Thank you city hall for sticking to a safe crossing. Really, is one minute out of your day to make a safe crossing worth it? I certainly think it is.

Feelings of betrayal and anger

I am actually shocked by how badly I felt and still feel.

Often in my week-ly reports I have included updates on B.C. gaming funds in large part because there are frequently a large amount of inquiries around this topic that I receive on an ongoing basis.

Recently the Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch has created a newly updated website that contains information that was not always available previously.

The new site is located at pssg.gov.bc.ca/gaming/rev-enue/index.htm and also includes the mas-ter list of all organ-izations that receive gaming funds.

This information can be displayed in different formats including on a com-munity by commun-ity basis.

If you have further questions regarding

the gaming funds process please do not hesitate to contact my office.

On a different theme, beginning on last Friday, June 15, British Columbia’s revised drinking and driving laws have again returned to be enforced by members of the RCMP.

The increased pen-alties announced in the fall of 2010 remained unchanged.

However, there are new procedures that motorists should be aware of.

In the event that a driver “fails” it is now mandatory to be advised of the right to a second test that would be conducted on a different device.

If there is a differ-ence in the result of a second test, the lower result of the two tests will prevail.

In addition the

immediate roadside suspension may again be used against those drivers who register a “fail” reading as an alternative to the full current criminal code process.

In addition, more documentation will be available with respect to roadside screening device cali-bration accuracy.

Since the new regu-lations were intro-duced in September of 2010, alcohol-related motor vehicle deaths in B.C. have dropped by more than 40 per cent, this means 71 fewer fatalities.

Would you like more input into gov-ernance?

The BC Govern-ment has introduced a new website locat-ed at http://www2.g o v. b c . c a / g o v t o -getherbc/index.page the “Gov. Together” website is intended

to list all of the cur-rent opportunities to share your input and ideas in specific areas as listed on the web-site.

Currently there are already 32 different consultations listed online with many more being added in the near future.

Some of the topics range from the cos-metic use of pesti-cide to requests for input on the Nat-ural Resource Road Act. As both of these

topics have been of previous interest to local citizens they may desire to visit this new website to share further input.

Finally this week as graduation cere-monies approach, a reminder that it is illegal to provide liquor to under age minors.

Recently British Columbia increased the penalty for any-one caught supply-ing liquor to under-age minors. The new penalty has been increased up to $575 and these tickets can be issued by both law enforcement and provincial liquor inspectors.

Let’s ensure that all celebrations that occur do so safely and responsibly.

Bill Barisoff is the MLA for the riding of Penticton.

Ask YourDentist...

Q What is the best way to whiten my teeth?

Chris K.

AI think most patients I see want whiter teeth. Because there

are different reasons why your teeth may be not be as white as they used to, there are various solutions to whiten them:

1. You can clean and whiten them yourself at home using over-the-counter products

2. A hygienist can remove the stain

3. A dentist can prepare custom trays for you and provide you with advanced whitening products

4. A dentist can cover your teeth with veneers/crowns.

There are plenty of things we eat and drink that can stain our teeth-- tea, coffee and red wine are the most common. Smoking is also a big contributor to darkening teeth. Limiting or removing these from your diet can reduce your staining or simply adding cream to your coffee/tea can help. Removing these stains with regular, thorough cleaning with your toothbrush and fl oss can be a great fi rst step. Whitening toothpastes are designed to help remove this stain more effi ciently. Take-home whitening kits are also available from your pharmacy and may help lighten your teeth once they are well cleaned.

Sometimes the stain on your teeth just doesn’t come off at home no matter how hard you try. A dental hygienist can remove tartar and stains that can leave your teeth feeling cleaner, healthier and whiter. If, after your cleaning, you still want them brighter, we can make custom trays for you to take home and use with our whitening products. Most patients can achieve very nice results when wearing the trays two hours a day for two weeks.

When the darkness of your teeth is from old stained fi llings, stain on the inside of the teeth, or loss of enamel, the best solution for whitening is to cover your teeth. Veneers or crowns can cover your teeth leaving them free of decay and as light as you would like. Of course to keep them white, you still need to take the stain off daily with your toothbrush and fl oss, and I’d also recommend you see your dental hygienist on a regular basis.

We’re here to help in any way we can. Feel free to call, stop by, or send us an e-mail message. We are always accepting new patients and I’d be happy to answer your question in the next article (anonymously if desired). Have a great week!

Cemetery seems stark and sad now

Dear Editor:I’m shocked and

appalled that the city would deface the gravestones at Can-yon View Cemetery.

It is a stark and sad place now.

There was a feeling of love and commun-

ity there before. What have they gained?

One would think they would then wash the headstones and weed properly.

But no, when you walk around up there you can still see where the thoughtful

mementoes sat. It is baffling to

me why they would do something so thoughtless and hurt-ful.

VIEWS

Bill Barisoff

No longer confidentin works decisions

Dear Editor:Due to the recent

events at the Can-yon View Cemetery which were handled so badly I have abso-lutely no confidence in the administration of the Public Works Department, and I am sure that I am not

alone in this respect.I believe that the

lack of the use of common sense in this matter may also have affected other deci-sions.

I would suggest that Council closely examine all recent decisions to ensure

that this is not the case.

I look forward to seeing an improve-ment from the present state at the Cemetery, and trust that the care be entrusted to more capable hands.

Legion looking for talentfor Canada Day festivities

Royal Canadian Legion Branch 22 Summerland is searching for performers for this year’s Canada Day Celebration.

Anybody with a talent they would like to present will have the opportunity to perform for 15 to 30 minutes in the Memorial Park Kinsmen Band Shell on Sun-day, July 1.

Acts should be suitable for an audience of all ages including

youth. The intention is to offer entertainment from 11:30 a.m. until 3 p.m.

A sound system will be avail-able.

If you or your group would like to perform, contact Elke at 250-494-2301 or e-mail manager@summerlandlegion.com. Please describe your talent; whether it is singing, dancing or magic, all are welcome.

This week I will be voting in full support of Bill C-38 the Jobs, Growth and Long-term Prosperity Act.

My support for this Bill will be a disappointment for some citizens who for a variety of different reasons, oppose the second phase of our Governments Eco-nomic Action Plan that is carried out in Budget 2012.

When I ran to become a Member of Parliament I did so with the intent to support a platform that recognizes the importance of jobs and supporting our regional economies.

In our region some of the largest employ-ers in communities like Okanagan Falls, Princeton, Merritt and Logan Lake are supported through mining activities and responsible resource development.

Many of the spin off industries that also benefit from this industry are locat-ed in communities like West Kelowna, Penticton and Sum-merland.

It is also the rev-enue from resource royalties that help fund the very services

that we as Canadians depend upon.

When the US Hous-ing market collapsed we all watched the resultant decline in our local forestry dependent commun-ities.

Mill closures and resulting unemploy-ment in communities where well paying jobs are in short sup-ply are very serious concerns.

While we are for-tunate to see our resource sector being revitalized, we must also recognize that it is important to diversify and expand our markets so that our Canadian econ-omy can enjoy more stability.

Likewise we must also recognize that in order to diversify to other trading part-

ners we require effi-cient access, not just to the markets them-selves but also to our resources.

We also cannot ignore that today Can-ada is facing one of the greatest and most challenging global economic environ-ments in modern day history.

While our Govern-ment is criticized for attempting to do “too much” with Bill C-38 the opposition and supporters are sug-gesting that Canada should instead do nothing.

Obviously this is a point of disagree-ment and one we have debated about at length, in fact there has not been a budget bill for the past twenty years to receive as much study as Bill C38 has.

It should also be noted that in spite of opposition claims to the contrary, Budget 2012 is actually a smaller budget docu-ment then the Bills were for budgets in 2009, 2010, 2011.

Recently our Gov-ernment actually voted to extend the House hours until midnight so that even more debate could

occur.Although not

widely reported in the media, it was the NDP who voted against increasing the debate time on Bill C-38.

I am reasonably confident that regard-less of the amount of bills or debate time allocated the Oppos-ition and supporters would continue to remain opposed to Budget 2012.

Fortunately there are some facts that can be agreed upon.

During our Gov-ernment’s economic action plan, Canada’s job creation record has been the best in the entire G7.

Further, our con-secutive budgets have also ensured that Canada’s net debt to GDP ratio is by far the lowest in the G7.

More import-antly both the Inter-national Monetary Fund and the Organ-ization for Economic Co-operation and Development have predicted that the Canadian economy will be amongst the very best performing in the industrialized world over the next 24 months.

I do appreciate that there are those who oppose Bill C-38 and my support for this Bill will not be wel-comed by them. I have heard from and met with many dif-ferent citizens who disagree with this Bill

much as I have met with a great many who are in full sup-port. In this instance I believe it is important for those disappoint-ed by my vote to hear firsthand the reasons why I am supporting Bill C-38 and the jobs

it will protect and enhance through-out the Okanagan-Coquihalla region.

Are you a low-income senior or a person with a disability who wants to live safelyand independently in the comfort of your home?

Do you have difficulty performing day-to-day activities?

Does your home need to be adaptedto meet your changing needs? If so,you may be eligible for financial assistance under the Home Adaptations for

Independence (HAFI) program.

Find out today if you are eligible

and if you meet all of the requirements as a low-income homeowner or as a landlord applying on behalf of an eligible tenant.

Would a new ramp, handrails or walk-in shower help you maintain your independence at home?

BC Housing’s new Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program helps low-income B.C. seniors and people with disabilities make home modifications that will allow them to continue living at home.

Through HAFI, homeowners and landlords with eligible tenants can apply for financial assistance of up to $20,000 for improvements that make their home more accessible and safe.

The goal of the program is to enable people who have physical limitations to live at home longer. People’s physical needs change over time – sometimes, a small improvement to a home can make the difference between being able to live independently or not.

Types of eligible projects include:

andrails in hallways or stairways,

areas in the kitchen,

bars, and

The projects must be permanent and fixed to the home, although exceptions can be made for equipment that gives access to an existing part of the home (e.g. a bath lift).

is funded by the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia through the Canada-B.C. Affordable Housing Initiative. Through the HAFI

million in grants or forgivable loans will be distributed to qualifying B.C. residents over the next three years.

To qualify for assistance from HAFI, recipients must be a low-income senior or person with a disability, a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant, and a B.C. resident. Someone in the household must have a permanent disability or loss of ability that makes it difficult to perform

day-to-day activities. As well, the total household income and assets must be below a certain limit. BC

Housing can tell you the income and house value limits for your area when you apply.

The program is open to both homeowners and those living in market rental accommodation where rents are at the low end of market levels; landlords must

apply for improvements on behalf of eligible tenants.

New program helps seniors, peoplewith disabilities modify homes

The new Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program

helps low-income B.C. seniors and people with disabilities make

home modifications for safe, accessible and independent living.

A solid winter snowpack and spring rains have resulted in enough moisture

to fill Summerland’s reservoirs, but the flooding which has been a problem else-

where is not affecting the community.

“We’re full every-where in the Trout

Creek system,” said Scott Lee, water oper-ations manager for the community.

The Trout Creek system supplies around 85 per cent of Summerland’s water.

Thirsk Lake has been spilling for two to three weeks.

At Garnett Lake, municipal staff have taken measures to lower the water level to prevent flooding.

Because of this year’s cool and wet spring weather, demand on Summer-land’s water supply is lower than in other years.

Elsewhere in Brit-ish Columbia, spring flooding has been a problem.

At present, a high streamflow advis-ory is in place in the Shuswap and a flood watch is in place for the Liard River in northern British Col-umbia.

While Summerland has not been affected by flooding this year, parts of the commun-ity have been affected in the past, including the flood of 1972 and spring floods in the late 1990s.

Meanwhile, a flood warning was issued for the Fraser River from Quesnel to the Fraser Canyon Mon-

day as a weekend of heavy rain brought water levels near a 50-year high.

A flood warning has also been issued for the Shuswap River, downstream of Mable Lake near Enderby, and high streamflow warnings are in effect for other north Okanagan riv-ers.

A high stream-flow advisory was issued Sunday for the Lower Fraser River, with heavy flows measured at Hope and Mission. Flows are forecast to reach 11,500 to 13,000 cubic metres per second at Hope by late Thurs-day or Friday.

Heavy rainfall across the headwaters of the Fraser and Thompson Rivers prompted the centre to extend its earlier upper Fraser River flood warning, issued for Prince George and upstream. Rain-fall along the Fra-ser and its tributaries totalled 30 to 75 mm in 72 hours, adding to rapid snowmelt.

Flooding in SkagitOne of 34 vehicles trapped by a culvert washout on Silver Skagit Road south of Hope is evacuated using a temporary bridge Sunday.

Friends of the Summerland Library provided refreshments, construction help and door prizes, as well as a gift for every dad. Many dads also brought their children to register and pick up materials for summer reading clubs and programs. Weekly stickers and stamps will mark the young readers’ progress during the summer. More than 100 children picked up sum-mer reading packages.

Summerland Sweets marks 50 yearsLen Filek of Summerland Sweets watches as blueberry syrup is processed at Summerland Sweets. The food processing company is celebrating its 50th anniversary.

by John Arendt

It all began with one man’s idea, 50 years ago.

Founded by Ted Atkinson in 1962, Summerland Sweets has grown and evolved in the years

since, but continues to carry on the trad-ition as both a family-owned business and a specialty manufac-turer of quality fruit products.

In 1929, Atkinson became the first food

technician to be hired by the federal gov-ernment and worked at the Summerland Research Station for several years, where he eventually became the Head of Food Sci-ence.

His position involved experimen-tation with new fruit products and find-ing ways to get these products adopted by industry, as well as finding ways to buy more fruit from the

growers.This extensive

background in fruit research led to the creation of a fruit candy, initially sold as a fundraiser for the Summerland Rotary Club.

This fruit candy became the com-pany’s first product upon its establish-ment and is still sold by Summerland Sweets today.

With support from several in the com-

munity including Lorne Bloomfield, Dugal MacGregor and John Kitson, Atkin-son’s idea became a reality in 1962.

Summerland Sweets has gone through numerous changes since this pic-ture was taken in 1980.

Sweets company still operated by founding family Continued from page 12

The newly-founded Summer-land Sweets quickly gained a reputation for its fruit pancake syrup and its fruit wine bases.

Today, Summer-land Sweets is still operated by Atkin-son’s family. Len Filek, husband of Atkin-son’s granddaughter, began work with the company in 1984 and is now the general manager. Although the product line has expanded over the years, with the facil-ity now producing 19 types of fruit jam and 15 different fruit syr-ups, Filek says that

they still stick to the original recipes and methods.

“We still use the same basic formulas we used 35, 40 and 50 years ago. We know what we do well and we try and continue it.”

He also mentions that the key ingredi-ent remains the fruit, with tree-ripened or vine-ripened fruit as the base.

“We don’t add any flavours or colours. It’s all from the fruit,” he says.

S u m m e r l a n d Sweets continued its expansion and delved into agri-tourism in 1992, with the open-

ing of a store at 6206 Canyon View Rd. While in its first year the store brought around 2,000 people to the facility, that number has since grown and the store now sees an aver-age of 30,000 visitors every year.

The most recent addition to the com-pany has been that of Sleeping Giant Fruit Winery, started by Summerland Sweets in 2005. With the intent of specializ-ing in fruit wine and offering up some-thing a little different, this initiative came to fruition following plenty of advice from

Harry McWatters and the hiring of wine-maker Ron Taylor, also recommended by McWatters. The winery quickly estab-lished a name for itself and its fruit wines have won numerous

awards, including three national awards won earlier this spring. The winery’s 14 varieties of table wines and nine des-sert wines will soon be joined by three sparkling fruit wines,

which Sleeping Giant will introduce later this month. While the winery may seem like a diversion from the syrups and jams, Filek says wine is just another extension of fruit production.

This weekend, from June 21 to 24, Summerland Sweets will celebrate its 50th anniversary. A free pancake breakfast will be held there on Saturday June 23, from 8 a.m. to noon.

Maple Leaffor Africa

On Maple Leaf for Africa Day people can send good wish-es and usable goods for the children of Kahama, Tanzania.

The event is being held Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Peach Tree Mall Park-ing Lot in Penticton, sponsored by the Summerland-based One Person Project.

Participants can purchase a vinyl maple leaf, write a message to the chil-dren and add it to the Kahama Friendship Tree being assembled on the side of a ship-ping container parked in the mall lot.

People can also contribute items to the large freight con-tainer which is going to Tanzania in Nov-ember. Needed are walkers, wheelchairs, medical supplies and equipment, primary school texts, chil-dren’s story books, classroom and teach-er supplies, sewing machines, garden

tools, hand tools and soccer uniforms and equipment.

A full list of needed items can be seen at theonepersonproject.org

Refundable bottles and cans may be dropped off at Satur-day’s event to help raise money.

Established in 2007 in Summerland the One Person Project has provided more than $350,000 worth of resources and equipment to families and organizations in target communities.

Young pianistsplay at recital

Piano students of Jean Boothe held their annual year-end piano recital at the Summerland United Church on June 10.

Showcased during the recital were 19 talented and dedicat-ed young musicians playing 40 pieces in Baroque, Roman-tic, Jazz, Popular and Ragtime styles. Encouraged by their teacher before the recital to set aside concerns about mak-ing mistakes and to focus instead on celebrating their joy of music with friends and family, they all

played with flair, musicality and excite-ment. At the end of the recital, each stu-dent was invited up to the stage and acknowledged for their individual suc-cesses playing in recitals, commun-ity outreach events, music festival and exams throughout the past year. Held as a fundraiser for the Summerland Food Bank, the abundance of donations left in their wake matched the generous spirit communicated to the audience in their per-formances.

Integrative cancer care comes to OkanaganCancer patients

from the Southern Interior will now have access to can-cer care that will inte-grate with standard treatments and help to optimize recovery and survival.

The B.C. Ministry of Health is sup-porting the expan-sion of InspireHealth, Canada’s first and foremost integrative cancer care centre, to

Kelowna as part of its Healthy Families BC initiative.

Steve Thomson, K e l o w n a - M i s s i o n MLA, on behalf of Michael de Jong, Minister of Health said, “Our govern-ment’s vision is for a cancer-free society, and programs like InspireHealth sup-port this vision.”

“Unfortunate ly, many British Col-

umbians have been affected by cancer in some way.’

“Statistics show that one in three will develop some form of cancer in their life-time.”

“Because of this, we need to provide care, support and comfort for our families and friends facing stress-ful times.”

On hand at the official launch of the

Southern Interior cen-tre in Kelowna, will be RBC Olympian, Summerland’s own Kristi Richards.

She will be speak-ing about her per-sonal connection with InspireHealth, having been through their LIFE Program as a support person for her father, who is a patient of Inspire-Health.

“Relief comes from

knowing that he (my father) could have one centre point for his diagnosis and the treatments he wanted to explore, and an integrative plan for his life and recovery,” said Richards.

“InspireHealth was the place to map it out for him. They were incredibly unbiased in all the information they were giving – it was truly integrative

in every way. They transformed my fath-er’s life.”

As part of the open-ing celebration, Rich-ards will be donat-ing $5,000 to Inspire-Health, her charity of choice, as part of the RBC Olympian Grant Program.

The RBC Olympian Grant Program pro-vides 37 Olympic and Paralympic athletes from across Canada the opportunity to give back to a char-ity or organization that has an impact on their lives.

Insp i reHeal th ’ s model of integrative cancer care works together with a patient’s family doc-tor and oncologist to provide the best care possible.

The Vancouver centre has been open to British Columbians since 1997, and they have served more than 6,500 people with a cancer diag-nosis.

Dr. Hal Gunn, co-founder and CEO of

InspireHealth said, “Being diagnosed with cancer is chal-lenging, but it can provide a window of opportunity for significant lifestyle changes.”

“We provide inte-grative care and sup-port, and engage patients so that the fear of cancer is transformed into an inspired journey of health and well-being.”

InspireHealth helps those with a diagno-sis of cancer regain control in their lives by empowering them to play an active role in the development of their own personal-ized cancer care and wellness program.

InspireHealth is a non-profit soci-ety funded in part through British Col-umbia’s Ministry of Health.

No referral is necessary, and the doctors are covered by the B.C. Medical Services Plan.

Legion gets funding for Canada Day

The Summerland Legion will receive $500 from the muni-cipality to assist with the costs of holding a Canada Day celebra-tion.

John Dorn, president of the legion, asked council for the funding at the June 11 meeting.

He said last year the Legion received funding from the Summerland Mer-chants’ Association, but the funding is not available this year.

Even with the fund-ing, the Legion lost $150 after the costs of providing lunch for Canada Day.

Best times for Pikesat meet in Merritt

A small squad of Pikes swimmers travelled to Merritt, June 16 to 17 for the

second swim meet of the season.

Assistant Coach Shannon Clarke

picked up a silver aggregate medal. She placed first in 50 Freestyle, second in 100 Breaststroke and two relays and third in 50 Butterfly. She also had two personal best times.

Sarah Newsted earned best times in all six of her individ-ual events and took home a second place ribbon for relay.

J.J. Henderson earned five best times. He finished second in two relays, fourth in 200 IM, fifth in 100 Freestyle and 100 Backstroke, sixth in 50 Freestyle, sev-enth in 50 butterfly and eighth in 100 Breaststroke.

Earning best times in all three of her solo events, Ashley McMillan finished third in both 50 Breaststroke and 100

Freestyle and fourth in 50 Backstroke. Her brother Ryan, also had best times in all his events and fin-ished first in both the 25 Back and Breast-stroke events.

Morag Bouchard joined her children and Isabelle Bouchard for a fifth place finish in a relay. Bouchard also had two best times and finished ninth in both 50 and 100 Freestyle. Chloe Bouchard and Emma Wilson had two best times and a second place finish in relay.

Chloe Bouchard placed sixth in 50 Freestyle and eighth in 50 Backstroke.

Leah Newsted recorded a best time with eighth place finishes in both 50 Breaststroke and 100 Freestyle.

Marathon runnersYou could say the kids at Giant’s Head School took an idea and ran with it. They held a marathon over the last two months and met and exceeded goals. Students logged 40 kilometres in the multi-day mara-thon. They finished the marathon by running the last 2.5 kilometres on Friday. Some exceeded the overall goal by chalking up 70 or 80 miles during the time period. Kindergarten and grade one students were to run 2.5 kilometres a week for eight weeks, but many of then actually ran the 40 kilometres that was the goal of older students. One stu-dent, using her wheelchair and walker, achieved 60 kilometres. Alana Buckingham, a parent and athlete, organized the program. Principal Darcy Mullin said Buckingham rounded up T-shirts and sponsorships, and arranged for Ironman triathetes to run with the students. She also ran with students each week and encouraged them throughout the marathon.

Kevin Carrigan of Victoria held on to capture the 2012 Brit-ish Columbia Golf Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship, host-ed by Summerland Golf and Country Club.

The Royal Col-wood Golf Club member and second round leader, pieced together a resilient

one-under par 71 final round, capped by a birdie on the final hole to win by two strokes on a day that saw poor weath-er in the morning and sunny, windy condi-tions in the after-noon.

Carrigan started the day on the 6,656 yard par-72 Sum-merland course with

a bogey on the par 4 424-yard first hole before rebounding with a birdie on the difficult par 4 416-yard third hole, which played third toughest during round three.

Two bogeys on holes seven and 10 left Carrigan only one stroke ahead of a group of charging players that could

seemingly sense a drop in momentum.

All of that changed on the par 5 478-yard 13th hole as Carrigan made an impressive eagle by sinking a eight-footer.

“I had been giv-ing shots back on the front that I really shouldn’t have and I didn’t really hit a great tee shot to be

honest,” stated Car-rigan.

“I was lucky enough to find my ball in the middle of the fairway, hit a great shot in and sink the easy putt.”

After pars on the next three holes, Car-rigan felt the victory was within grasp when he nailed a tricky eight-foot par

putt on the par 4 404-yard 17th hole, his fourth consecutive par since his eagle.

“My approach shot into the green left me dead on my first putt and the closest I could get was a 6-footer because the break was so exaggerated. I basically jammed that one the heart of the cup to save par. It was the best putt I hit all week.”

Coming up the closing par 5 522-yard 18th, all Carri-gan needed to do was make a par.

He did one better, getting up and down to cap the victory with a birdie four, 212 total (72-69-71).

“I am really happy with this win,” said Carrigan.

Unknown to Carri-gan, two-time Men’s Mid-Amateur cham-pion Bryan Toth (2005 and 2008) of Victoria had been firing on all cylinders to get him-self one-shot back of the lead before that

closing hole birdie by the champion.

Toth ended the Championship with an impressive 214 total (74-70-70).

In the Master-40 division, a playoff was needed to decide Courtenay’s Greg Koster as the even-tual champion.

Koster, who admit-tedly struggled on the day, birdied his final hole in regulation to shoot a +4, 219 total and get into a two-man playoff with Pitt Meadow’s resident Greg Bismeyer.

“Today was a real struggle. I never real-ly got going enough to challenge for the overall Champion-ship but I am glad I held it together to claim the Master-40,” said Koster.

These are the results for Summer-land players in the championship:

T14, Ryan Eden, 74-74-77--225 +9; and 37, Len Filek, 83-75-75--233 +17.

Netted playground first in OkanaganOne of my favorite

parts of having the privilege of being Summerland’s Dir-ector of Parks and Recreation is being able to be involved in projects that will be part of Summerland for years to come.

I remember work-ing with Council and the Centennial Com-mittee on projects like the Peach Orchard Trail and looking up at Conkle Mountain knowing they will be

here for generations to come.

I’ve had an amaz-ing month watching one of my sons get married and another graduate from Uni-versity and both are very proud of being from Summerland.

As you read this we will have just completed the official opening of the new playground at Dale Meadows Park.

It is the first fully netted playground

project in the Oka-nagan to ensure the children have a safe play environment with the close prox-imity of the softball and soccer fields.

This was a true community project with the Summer-land Kinsmen, Sum-merland Rotary Club, EZ Rock, Sun FM and the South Okanagan Children’s Charity working with the District of Summer-land to complete the

project. The Rotary Club under President Doug Carnegie con-tributed $15,000.00, cooked the hot dogs for the opening and worked side by side with the Kinsmen to help build the play-ground.

The Kinsmen Club also contributed $15,000 and under the tutelage of Project Supervisor, Stacey Nodge, put in over 40 hours to build the equipment.

Also a special thanks to EZ Rock, Sun FM and their South Okanagan Chil-dren’s Charity and Coordinator, Karen Davey for initiating the project. Karen raised over $15,000.00 to make the play-ground a reality.

The District of Summerland con-tributed $15,000, and the Parks Depart-ment under direc-tion of Scott Weather-head coordinated the

remaining details of the project.

To all of you Trout Creek residents don’t worry as we will be starting phase II of the playground project at Powell Beach in the next few weeks.

Dale MacDonald has been Summer-land’s Director of Parks and Recreation for the last 22 years and in his sporting past has won provin-cial championships in four different sports.

Playing in championshipPlaying in last week’s 2012 British Columbia Golf Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship was Dr. Warren Julien, a member of the Summerland Golf and Country Club.

Don F. Woodbridgepassed away with his family by his side on June 10, 2012 at

the age of 77 years. Don will be remembered by his loving

wife Marion Woodbridge, daughters: Kenzie Woodbridge,

Kolyn (Ben) Morcombe, grandchildren: Seren Woodbridge,

Tavis Morcombe, brother: David (Esther) Woodbridge and

mother-in-law; Alwyn Burniston. Sadly predeceased by his

parents: Bill and Gwyneth. Don was a creative and patient

educator for 28 years. He taught in small communities in

rural BC., including Golden, where he met and married his

wife, Marion and where they started their family. They moved

to Summerland in 1983 to take over the family orchard and

home. Don was a vital, social person, who loved nothing

better then a good conversation with friends both new as well

as old. He was a storyteller, a family historian, a generous

provider, a patient, gentle loving parent and husband. He

found contentment in the physical work he did in the orchard

and chopping fi rewood. Don loved the colour blue. Wearing

blue at his memorial service would truly be an honour to him.

A Memorial Service was held from the Summerland Baptist

Church, 10318 Elliott Street, Summerland, BC., with

Pastor Larry Schram offi ciating. Memorial tributes in Don’s

memory may be made to the HHT Foundation International,

Inc. P.O. Box 329 Monkton, MD 21111 USA. (hht.org)

Colin Powell, holding trophy, is pictured with his new staff at the IGA in Summerland, which he recently purchased.

Colin Powell and his family relocated to the Okanagan Valley in 2006 from the Lower Mainland bringing with him over 16 years of experience in the Retail Grocery Business. “ I wanted a better lifestyle for my children to grow up in, having a smaller population and being exposed to much of the outdoors such as boating, skiing, hiking and camping”.

In September of 2006, Colin joined the team at Marketplace IGA in Peachland as the Assistant Manger.

After working in Peachland for over a year, he was fortunate to have the opportunity to purchase the Marketplace IGA in Penticton.

“I also understand that my loyal customer values the level of service that Marketplace IGA provides. I am proud that we have assembled a team that prides oneself on these values, ensuring that every customer has an exceptional experience throughout the store.”

In addition to receiving the 2012 Business of the Year last month, Colin and his team were recognized by their Executive Committee at H.Y. Louie as the proud recipient of the 2012 Retailer of the Year, topping over 35 other stores in B.C.

Colin has recently purchased a second IGA location in Summerland where he is proud and committed to serving and supporting the Community. “I am fl attered by the number of customers and residents that have welcomed me to their Community of Summerland”. I can not put into words how proud I am to have the opportunity to own two beautiful stores in two exceptional communities. Residents in Summerland have suggested that they choose to live in the small community of Summerland because of the lifestyle and they want to support local business and value the fact that local businesses like IGA do give back to their communities.

IGA in Summerland is proud to have served the Community for over 30 years. The store has recently made some changes to better serve our loyal customers. One improvement has been the change in hours where IGA is now open daily from 8am-9pm.” I cannot tell you the overwhelming response that I have received from customers thanking me for changing the Hours of Operation.’ I realize that there are many young families in the community that value the later hours to support their busy lives in addition to bettering IGA’s commitment to exceptional Customer Service.

Another change to improving our Customer Service was to change the aesthetics and merchandising of the store, stripping and waxing of the fl oor and replacing the light fi xtures to enhance the quality of the products while creating a more inviting perception to the store. Loyal customers have embraced these changes suggesting that “The store is very clean and inviting and we love shopping here”.

IGA in Summerland, like Marketplace IGA in Penticton, does have a strong team in place, ensuring that IGA is committed to Customer Service in addition to exceeding our customers shopping expectations throughout the Store.

“I would like to thank my loyal customers and the Community of Penticton for my recent successes with Marketplace IGA in Penticton and I would like to thank my loyal customers and the Community of Summerland for their hospitality in welcoming me to their beautiful Community, where I look forward to being an active role in serving and supporting this great community.”

Colin Powell
