Steam tied in playoffsSummerland and Kelowna Chiefs each earn two wins in best of seven series

John Arendt

The Summer-land Steam and the Kelowna Chiefs are tied in their playoff hockey battle.

Each team has won two of the four games played so far in the best of seven series.

The first two games were in Summerland.

The Steam won Friday’s game in a 3-2 decision but lost 3-1 on Saturday evening.

“We outshot them, but we just couldn’t score,” Steam co-owner and general manager Gregg Wil-son said after the game.

He said the game was a disappoint-ment, but the team was able to improve for the third game of the series the follow-ing day.

“They learned from it. In Game 3

they came at it with a different mindset,” Wilson said.

Sunday evening’s game, in Kelowna, ended in a decisive 10-4 win for the Steam.

While the win was encouraging, Wilson does not expect to see such domination on the ice repeated in the future.

“There will not be another game of this magnitude in this ser-ies,” he said.

He explained that the win was due in

part to the Steam’s four strong lines. Coaches are able to rotate players dur-ing the games and as a result, players are rested and ener-getic. He added that Kelowna rotates two lines. As a result, the players were exhaust-ed on Sunday.

The fourth game, in Kelowna on Tues-day, ended in a 3-2 loss for the Steam after a strong third period showing from the Chiefs.

In regular sea-

son play, the Steam finished solidly in second place in the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference: Okanag-an Division, while the Chiefs were in third place.

The Steam finished the regular season with 28 wins, 19 loss-es, two ties and three overtime losses.

The Steam and the Chiefs faced each other eight times dur-ing regular season action, with Summer-land winning five of those games.

The next game in the playoff ser-ies takes place at the Summerland Arena on Thursday, Feb. 26, beginning at 7:30 p.m.

The following evening, the Steam will travel to Kelow-na to face the Chiefs, with the game begin-ning at 7 p.m.

If a seventh game is required, it will be held at the Summer-land Arena on Sat-urday, Feb. 28 begin-ning at 7:30 p.m.

Steele re-elected as BCFGA president

Dale BoydBlack Press

Fred Steele from Kelowna will return as the B.C. Fruit Growers Association president after being re-elected at the 126th annual BCFGA con-vention on Feb. 21.

“(The results) were probably close, these things are usually razor thin either way. It’s always good to have the family get together and squab-ble over the issues. That’s what the con-vention is about,” Steele said.

Steele faced a fam-iliar opponent dur-ing the election in Jeet Dukhia. The two were up against each other last year and have been opponents in years prior.

“We’ve had a few over the years, but the nice thing about it is Jeet is a member of the BCFGA and sees things differently and we challenge each

o t h e r and I d o n ’ t t h i n k t h e r e are any h a r d feelings at all,” S t e e l e said.

“There’s always next year,” Jeet said. Who said he plans to run again.

“I think what we have to do now is looking toward other areas because we have to think about expanding this indus-try,”

He said infrastruc-ture will be a focus moving forward.

“What we have to do is start look-ing at the Ministry of Trade, the Ministry of Industry for national issues, the Ministry of Western Economic Diversification for infrastructure fund-ing and the Ministry of Agriculture of

course,” Steele said. “It’s always a good

day when you win,” Steele said.

BCFGA to administer replant funds

The BCFGA’s 126th annual conven-tion at the Penticton Lakeside Resort saw a visit from B.C. Min-ister of Agriculture Norm Letnick.

Letnick spoke to growers from around B.C. and announced that the BCFGA were selected as the administers of an $8.4 million, seven-year replant program.

The replant pro-gram allows farm-ers to take exist-ing stands of trees with older fruit and replant new varieties that will afford them more money.

The partnership provides govern-ment assistance with a third of the cost of the replant on aver-age.

Letnick said that

the strategy moving forward is focused on quality and differen-tiating the B.C. mar-ket from the rest of the world.

“That’s the biggest strategy we have is helping people con-vert their existing, low-margin fruits to higher margin fruits, and that’s where the replant program comes in,” he said.

He said that Amer-ican producers have more acres under production resulting in a lower cost per pound as well as lower land costs.

Creating quality and unique products is the way to differ-entiate according to Letnick.

“We have a great product, how do we get more people to buy it.”

He added helping growers market prod-ucts domestically as well as nationally and internationally will be another focus moving forward.

The municipality’s website at summer-land.ca has a new look, but Jeremy Denegar, director of corporate services for the municipality, said

the changes are not just cosmetic.

The site was designed to be easier to navigate.

The home page was the last page

built. Its content will be changeable, deter-mined by statistics and activity on the site.

Pictures on the site include many tour-ism-related images from the commun-ity. The tourism con-tent is needed since the municipal site is the top result when people search for information about Summerland.

In addition, obso-

lete information on the old site has been removed or updated.

The site functions on computers, tablets and smart phones, adjusting to work with the smaller screens on portable devices.

In addition, the site was designed to be simpler for municipal staff to add and edit content.

Earlier, Denegar and the design com-

pany in charge of the redesign had hoped to compete the site before the end of 2014.

“There have been a lot of delays due to the complexity of it,” he said.

The new site was introduced last Thursday afternoon.

Denegar said chan-ges will be made based on comments and feedback from the public.

The man accused of attacking a doctor at Penticton Region-al Hospital will be released on recogni-zance upon the pay-ment of a $50,000 bail.

Gregory Stanley Nield, 31, appeared at the Penticton Court House on Thursday

where the judge ruled that he be released into the custody of his family upon the perfection on bail.

Nield was wearing a plaid shirt and was quiet, saying noth-ing other than “yes” when the judge asked if he could hear her.

Nield appeared via video at the Penticton

Courthouse on Wed-nesday where his bail was set for $50,000 and an agreement was made for him to be transferred from the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre to the Penticton Court-house on Thursday.

The bail was set after an agreement was made between

the Crown and Nield’s defence after he was subject to a 30-day psychiatric evaluation.

The agreement pertains to 11 con-ditions including a curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., that he not leave his residence unsupervised and that he report to a bail

supervisor and, on a Rogers Order, attend medical counselling and treatment as rec-ommended.

Nield will be released into the cus-tody of his family and wife. He has no prior criminal record.

Nield is charged with aggravated assault allegedly

attacking Dr. Rajeev Sheoran on Dec. 5 during a closed-door interview in the psychiatric ward at Penticton Regional Hospital.

Dr. Rajeev Sheoran

was sent to Kelowna General Hospital and suffered a broken jaw with possible orbit-al fractures. Nield will appear in court March 11 for the elec-tion of mode of trial.

Alleged doctor attacker released on bailRoof workDanny Small of Greyback Construction works on the roof of the new Summerland Library building on Main Street. The building is expected to be completed in late spring or summer. When completed, it will be more than twice the size of the existing library space on Wharton Street.

VICTORIA – The B.C. government’s third straight budget surplus is the main battleground for provincial polit-icians this spring, with little else on the order paper to argue about.

The main con-flict is over the tax cut for the rich that results from remov-ing a two-year surtax on personal income greater than $150,000 a year.

It’s an outrage, says the NDP, starv-ing our threadbare government services of more than $200 million over the next three years.

NDP leader John Horgan set the tone in his reply to Finance Minis-ter Mike de Jong’s budget speech:

“I can appreci-ate that the minister was celebrating with the champagne-and-caviar set, but the rest of British Col-umbia saw $700 mil-lion in increased fees and taxes on their backs.”

Old news, de Jong replied. It was a two-

year surtax on high-income earners to help get B.C. out of its post-recession red ink, and it expired as it was legislated to do.

This political the-atre doesn’t help people understand what’s actually going on.

First, a lot of that red ink was B.C. Liberal blood from dismantling the har-monized sales tax and repaying Ottawa for that failed experi-ment.

Second, this tem-porary tax on the rich was a political strategy by de Jong and Premier Christy Clark, limping into an election most expected them to

lose. De Jong’s debut

budget in February 2013 also accelerated a small increase in corporate income tax, stealing two populist planks from Adrian Dix’s NDP platform.

Ending the surtax not only kept a prom-ise, it kept B.C. com-petitive with Alberta on personal income taxes.

High wage earn-ers and many of their businesses are more mobile every year, which is why this year’s budget also extended tax breaks for high-tech and digital media com-panies.

Another tweak in de Jong’s budget was to increase the low-income cutoff for personal income tax from $18,000 to $19,000.

Those with the lowest incomes are relieved not only of income tax but also medical premiums, which continue to march up by another four per cent, and are mostly paid by employers.

As with the federal election set for this fall, we will hear a lot about the burden on the vaguely defined “middle class.”

In B.C. they have to dig deeper for car insurance, hydro, ferry rides and post-secondary tuition, while those top-hat-ted champagne-sip-pers party on with their tax holiday?

Well, not exactly. Here’s an assessment from Philip Cross, research co-ordinator at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and former chief econom-ic analyst at Statistics Canada.

Just after the 2013 B.C. election, Cross noted that Canada, its provinces, Europe and the United States have all been adjust-ing their tax systems to increase the load on wealthier people and ease it from the poor.

This has closed the wage gap consider-ably in Canada.

By 2010, the top 20 per cent of earn-ers were paying 58.3 per cent of all income taxes.

That’s up from 50 per cent in 1976, showing how long Canada’s income taxes have been “pro-gressive.”

This is the main reason why “income inequality,” that other great cause of the left, started lev-eling off in Canada around 1998.

Cross points to measures like the low-income exemp-tion from income tax. By 2013, the bottom 40 per cent of Can-adian households were paying just 6.8 per cent of income taxes, and more than a third of income tax filers were paying none at all.

Cross asks and answers the central question: Should the rich pay more? “If it’s a misinformed attempt to compen-sate for imaginary losses of low-income people, the answer is clearly no.”

YOUR VIEWS

For the second year in a row, the Summerland Steam hockey players have advanced to the playoffs.

The Junior B team is facing the Kelowna Chiefs in a best of seven series in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League action.

Those who have followed the team’s progress have seen a consistently strong level of play.

At the end of the regular season, the team had a record of 28 wins, 19 losses, two ties and three overtime losses for a second-place ranking in the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference: Okanagan Division of the league.

This result becomes even more impres-sive when one considers that only seven of the players were on the team last sea-son.

The players have demonstrated an impressive level of dedication to the sport.

Some have grown up in the community and have advanced through the various levels of the Summerland Minor Hockey Association.

Progressing to junior level hockey is a reward for their ongoing level of commit-ment to the game.

Fans have also been able to enjoy the result of the players’ efforts.

Those who have attended the games during the past season have seen some high-energy hockey action.

While the team provides entertaining hockey for fans, it also serves a much more important role.

Some Steam players have been able to advance to Junior A or college level hockey, and from there it is possible some will go on to play the game profes-sionally.

For this reason alone it makes sense to support the team during the regular season and playoffs.

Ticket sales and fan support help to fund the team and ensure the presence of junior hockey in the future.

A dedicated base of fan support also shows Summerland’s commitment to hockey at this level.

Q I want w h i t e r t e e t h .

What can I do to get them really white?

Jane

AI’ll talk about three ways to whiten your teeth. The easiest is to

have them cleaned. Teeth can pick up stains from what we eat and drink, like tea, coffee and red wine. Surface stains can be removed by brushing with whitening toothpastes or by your hygienist.

If you still want whiter teeth once they are cleaned, you should try whitening. We use custom fit trays for each patient and give you whitening gel to put into the trays for about 2 hours/day or overnight. In about two weeks your teeth can be 1-2 shades lighter. You can reuse your trays in the future to whiten again whenever you like.

If you want your teeth dramatically lighter you should consider veneers. Veneers are porcelain covers cemented on your teeth that not only change the colour but can also give you that smile you have always wanted.

As you can see there are quite a few options. Come on in so we can discuss what would be right for you.

Dear Editor:There is a set of

hills to the west of Summerland gener-ally known as Cart-wright Mountain.

Over the years it was an area criss-crossed by a ser-ies of flumes which brought irrigation water to most of Sum-merland’s orchards.

After the flumes were removed the area they had occu-pied became a neat

set of hiking and walking trails. Added to them were natural deer trails which could take you right up to the top if you were so athletic-ally inclined.

Most of the land was Crown land.

Nowadays, some of the lower area is being filled in with housing, but there are still parts where the old flume trails can be used, providing the

owners don’t mind you trespassing.

I understand that now all of the property is privately owned so all of us who walk or hike up there are trespassers. However, a group of mountain bikers have received permission to build an extensive trail system on some of the land.

I’ve been trespass-ing on Cartwright since shortly after the flumes were

removed, enjoying nature in its natural state — before bikes, horseback riders, and motorcycles.

A lot of people like myself are up there enjoying our natural “church.” For some of us who prefer the outdoors, nature is our church.

Unfortunately, there are people who don’t share the same ideals.

Nature belongs to everybody, but it

should be respected. Building bike

trails, log jumps, cut-ting down trees, even with the permission of the owner, seems to be the wrong way to go about it.

Next thing you know, the mountain will be a clear-cut, with a race track; something that it is starting to look like now.

Trails will ruin natural beauty

Dear Editor:Kudos to Summerland

Secondary School’s Beauty and the Beast.

We saw Beauty and the Beast, the High School pro-duction, last Saturday and

it was excellent. The acting, the choreog-

raphy, the costumes and the set were all very, very good.

They even painted the stage floor to look like cobblestones.

It was the best high school musical I’ve ever seen.

There are two casts. We saw the first one. This week the second one will per-form.

Don’t miss it if you enjoy a good show, young people doing things well and a great night out.

Enjoy.Marj Plitt

Musical was an excellent production

BCFGA position out of dateDear Editor:I object to the con-

tinued lobby and position the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association presently has against the Arctic apple.

The BCFGA pos-ition is out of date. The Arctic apple has achieved de-regu-lation in the USA which means these

apples can now be grown for commer-cial production in the USA and eventually sold in stores. There are no GMO apples in the marketplace now, nor will there be in the 2015 apple harvest season.

USDA declared in its review that Arc-tic apples are just

like any other apple except for their non-browning trait. Arctic apples offer the same nutrition benefits as non-GMO apples. Arctic apples use apple-to-apple bio-technology to silence the gene that causes browning when the cut surface is exposed to oxygen.

The Arctic apple has the potential of new mass consump-tion in the sliced apple industry. The BCFGA is positioning itself to never be in this category of apple production.

In the past, the national lobby group USApple was hesi-tant to accept the Arc-tic apple, but it has since moved away from that position.

Arctic brand will be clearly marketed and sold under the Arctic label, allowing consumers to make informed purchase decisions.

The non-brown-ing apple will be the first of the modified apples. Other traits are being developed by other companies. It is not long ago that self-fertile cherries did not exist. We have now built an industry on these cherry var-ieties that were bred at the Summerland research station.

Initially, self-fer-tile cherries were freely available to the world’s growers. That has changed and now Canadians bene-fit first, while other country’s access to these varieties is lim-ited. If the self-fertile cherry was bred in another country, we could not afford access. Our Can-adian cherry indus-try would not be the success that it is now.

The Arctic apple will be deregulated

in Canada. When this occurs, the current BCFGA position tells the world, “we do not want it.” This is huge mistake.

When the Ambro-sia apple was intro-duced, apple grow-ers in Canada were given unrestricted access before it took international mar-kets by storm. Can-adian apple growers got a head start with Ambrosia. This will not happen with Arc-tic apples. It will be released in Canada to those willing to make the apple successful in the marketplace. The B.C. Fruit Grow-ers Association has missed an opportun-ity to support a niche market and to work with a Summerland apple grower who is going to revitalize the value-added fresh apple industry.

At the BCFGA con-vention, I asked that the delegates let the market place deter-mine whether our growers get access to Arctic apples, grow Arctic apples and accept the premise that the science is not going away.

The BCFGA should let science determine its safety for the consumer, let the consumer choose whether to purchase the apple and let the grower decide whether to plant and grow the fruit.

Working on the railroad2015 marks the 100th anniversary of the Kettle Valley Railway, “one of the strangest railways ever built.” Steep grades, rock walls, deep can-yons and snow were only some of the obstacles that had to be con-quered. Miles and miles of track required a lot of hard work and likely resulted in sore muscles and aching backs for the men who had to fell the timber and carve out the ties. The Summerland Museum is cele-brating the KVR at their AGM on March 6 with special guest speaker, Joe Smuin, Kettle Valley Railway historian and author. Join us at the IOOF Hall, 9536 Main St. at 7 p.m. to hear more about the legendary KVR. The agenda will also include the Museum Society annual report and election of directors, along with refreshments.

Dan Nixon is a young activist who is working for change in the areas of health and wellness, social justice and the environment.

Nixon was one of three B.C. youths who recently received a Champions of Well-ness Award. He won in the Supporting Others category. The award was given out by the Kelty Mental Health Resource Cen-tre, at the Balancing Our Minds Youth Summit. The event was held at the Rog-ers Arena in Vancou-ver on Feb. 12.

“It was a surreal experience,” said Nixon. “There were 1,600 kids there. There were speak-ers, singers and a psychologist who did laugh yoga with us.”

It was Vancouver

Canuck, Kevin Bieksa who presented the award to Nixon.

“That was really cool,” Nixon said. “Kevin gave me a signed jersey, a medal and two Canucks tickets as well.”

Being support-ive of others, means being there to listen explained Nixon.

“I don’t like it when people are sad,” he said. “I just like to be someone they can talk to and know that I’m always there. If there is nowhere else

to go, I am all ears.”Mental health

issues, depression and self-harm are prevalent in high schools today, accord-ing to Nixon. He also said there is a real stigma surrounding the issues.

“Everyone associ-ates being depressed

with being weak, when really it is an illness,” he explained.

It amazes Nixon that so little empha-sis is put on mental wellness, while there is so much focus on looking good on the outside. He attributes much of the depres-sion experienced by youth today to peer pressure.

“They have pres-sure trying to fit into this mold that they think they should be in, when really they can just be whoever

t h e y want to be,” he said.

T h a t mold for girls is to be skin-ny, long l e g g e d ,

with beautiful long hair, Nixon explained. For boys it means having large biceps.

Even though Nixon has been recognized for what he has done to support others, he remains humble.

“I don’t think I do extraordinary

things,” he said. “There are so many other kids in my school that do just as much as me.”

Nixon is also one of the co-founders of the Youth Empowerment Project (YEP), whose slogan is “empower-ing youth through knowledge.”

Registering YEP as a non-profit group was “stressful” and a “real learning experi-ence,” Nixon said.

Caitie Shaw is another one of the five founding mem-bers of YEP. She and Nixon are the spokes-persons for the group.

“We just try to inspire kids to fol-low their passion and make sure they know that youth have a powerful voice and we’re going to make change,” explained Nixon.

On Pink Shirt Day the two were scheduled to speak at a pep rally at the Skaha Middle School in Penticton where they planned to tell the kids, “The biggest message is to be kind to one another. One moment of selfless-ness every day,” said Nixon. “It’s so simple but it would be so effective.”

YEP has held what they call a Cyber love campaign, encour-aging youth to flood

the internet with posi-tive words instead of Cyber bullying. They are planning an upcoming environ-mental campaign to encourage people to reuse plastics rather than discarding them after one use.

Nixon explained that YEP tries to operate on a very low budget. The focus for them is on awareness rather than the mon-etary.

“I feel there are things that need money to fix and then there are things that need awareness

and education,” he said. “Things like the environment and mental health and wellbeing need time and awareness of what is happening.”

When it comes to support for this non-profit group Nixon said, “This commun-ity is just amazing. They don’t scoff at us teenagers but rather ask how can we lift you up and help?”

Steam set for playoffs

Junior 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.

THE FOUNDATION of my community starts

with you and me . . .

Your library pro-vides material that reflects the needs and interests of everyone in the community.

Taken directly from the Canadian Library Association’s Intellectual Free-dom Statement: “It is the responsibility of libraries to guar-antee and facilitate access to all expres-sions of knowledge and intellectual activ-ity, including those which some elements of society may con-sider to be unconven-tional, unpopular or unacceptable. To this end, libraries shall acquire and make available the widest variety of materials”.

Library staff are busy investigating books that have been challenged over the years as we prepare for Freedom to Read Week (Feb. 22 to 28.)

If you take this freedom as a given, someone may try to dictate what they think you should be allowed to read.

A small section of Canadian society have opinions about reading material that they would like to impose upon you.

Those opinions manifest as objec-tions, then progress to challenges. The challenges are real and they come in the form of requests to remove or restrict access to books in public libraries, schools and other public institutions.

Our freedom to choose what we read does not include imposing our choices on others.

If you think these impositions couldn’t happen in this day and age, you only have to visit the pub-lic library and look at the large display of books that have been challenged over the years and are still contentious to this day.

For example, the classic novel, Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger, published in 1945, has been con-sistently challenged for many years due to “foul language”.

The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzger-ald, published in 1925 was challenged because of references to sex.

Just last year, a par-ent of a B.C school student demanded that the book, The Perks of Being a Wall-flower, by Stephen Chbosky, published in 1999, be banned from the school.

To Kill a Mocking-bird by Harper Lee, published in 1960, was challenged over its racial themes. Author Harper Lee has recently pub-lished the sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird after 55 years. We’re curious to read her new novel, Go Set a Watchman, and won-der if it will live up to public expectations or be as controver-

sial as her first. Visit the library website www.orl.bc.ca with your library card and make a request on this highly anticipat-ed novel today.

Your right to choose whether to read a book or not, is exactly that. Your right. Don’t allow anyone to take that away from you.

Go to www.freedomtoread.ca for more information and a full list of chal-lenged book titles.

Then celebrate your freedom to read this week by stop-ping by the Summer-land branch of the Okanagan Regional Library and checking out some great books.

Sue Kline is the Community Librar-ian and Caroline McKay is an assistant Community Librar-ian at the Summer-land branch of the Okanagan Regional Library. Both proud-ly wear their “If it’s worth banning, it’s worth reading” but-tons.

In the name of “getting healthier,” a lot of people use short-term strategies in an attempt to meet their long-term goals.

They count and log everything they eat, they eliminate entire food groups, force themselves to eat the latest super foods; and vow to give up pleasures like chocolate or eat-ing at their favourite restaurants.

And that is the problem: short term thinking applied to a

lifelong experience. Making sacrifices

or choices that really are tolerable for only a short period of time.

Without a doubt what you eat plays a big role in your health and well-being.

But so many people struggle to maintain their efforts because they don’t pay atten-tion to how they are eating.

Making sure that we pay attention to our food when we are eating, truly enjoy-ing the experience

and being aware of how the food makes our bodies feel is the key to making long

lasting sustainable change.

In our hyper busy world it is easy to undervalue the importance of nour-ishing our bodies. Eating has become something that we do quickly between our endless series of daily events.

Many of us find ourselves routinely eating while driving, working at our desks, or in front of the com-puter or TV.

While crossing off all the to-dos on your list comes with a sense of satisfac-tion, we have missed out on one of the most powerful ways to help us regulate our intake-tuning in to our bodies natural hunger and fullness cues.

We are all born with innate knowing of how to best feed ourselves.

Don’t believe me? Just watch a baby.

They certainly let you know when they are hungry (no put-ting them off until the clock says ‘lunch time”) and refuse to eat more when satis-fied.

Taking time out during our busy days to tune into our bodies is the first step in relearning that skill.

Eating while dis-tracted, or in a rush also disconnects us from our senses.

When we slow down and pay atten-tion to our food, sav-ouring each bite we are much more likely to be truly satiated. Imagine leisurely eat-ing a perfectly rip-ened peach, inhaling its fruity essence, eye-ing its vibrant hue, nibbling at its tender sweet flesh, enjoying each deliciously juicy bite.

Taking pleasure in our food, nurtur-ing our bodies in this way can also help to diminish cravings

and overeating from stress.

Many of us use foods to help us cope with distressing feel-ings or as an attempt to comfort ourselves. This is completely natural.

The connection to food, comfort and love are made early on in our lives as our mothers fed and nur-tured us.

However, if food becomes our sole source of love or comfort this can lead us to eat more than

we truly need. And sadly our real

needs — for love, comfort or connec-tion — are never properly met.

Before we get com-pletely caught up in finding the ‘right’ foods to eat for our health lets remember to build a long lasting foundation.

We can do this by practicing undis-tracted eating, sav-ouring and enjoying our food and being aware of how we are expecting foods to

meet our needs.For more infor-

mation and support around this topic please feel free to join me in the upcom-ing session How to End Emotional Eat-ing at the Summer-land Health Centre on March 3 from 9 to 11 a.m.

Winter is now in full swing here in northern Japan with the average day dip-ping down below -15.

While it stays quite chilly here, we still see little snow for Hokkaido.

Tokachi, the region I am living in, is known for very sunny days in the winter, melt-ing away the snow quickly, and leaving a dangerous sheen of ice on the roads.

This creates an excellent environ-ment for up-and-coming speed skaters and hockey players because it is easier to create and keep excel-lent outdoor rinks.

Tokachi produ-ces some of the best speed skaters in the world. Last year,

I had a student in Grade 9, who was in the top five of Hok-kaido.

Just one hour north of Toyokoro is the city of Kushiro.

Kushiro is home to a very popular, and very good hockey team called Kushiro Cranes. However, outside of Tokachi,

and west, in neigh-bouring regions, they see more clouds, fog, and relatively over-cast weather.

They get quite a bit of snow every year.

This, combined with the mountain-ous terrain, makes for beautiful skiing and snowboarding condi-tions.

Hokkaido is a very popular tourist des-tination in the winter-time because of this.

The powder snow, picturesque moun-tains, and the all-around cheap trav-eling costs makes this perfect for tour-ists from Australia, New Zealand, and Korea to get away, and ski.

Japan has festivals all year round — in

the summer we have a huge fireworks fes-tival (Hanabe Mat-suri) and in the near by city of Obihiro, during the winter we have quite impres-sive festivals.

About 50 minutes away, in the city of Obihiro, during the first two weeks of February we have an ice festival — Koori Matsuri. People from around Tokachi cre-ate spectacular sculp-tures out of ice. Also, during the first two weeks, in Sapporo (about 200 kilometres west), there is a Snow Festival — Yuki Mat-suri.

This is a huge fes-tival, using the entire 12-block expanse of Odori Park to place sculptures from

around Japan. This year’s main

sculpture was simi-lar looking to Mount Rushmore but instead of presidents, they used Star Wars

Characters. Win-ter is a very beauti-ful, exciting time in Hokkaido. Thanks for reading! Proverb: Shoshin wasuru bek-arazu — We should

not forget our begin-ner’s spirit.

Summerland bob-sleigh athlete Justin Kripps is competing at the World Cham-pionships in Winter-berg, Germany.

The champion-ships began on Tues-day and will continue to March 7 and will feature two-person and four-person com-petitions.

“This has been a long and difficult sea-son, with 10 weeks of racing in Europe in the second half,” Kripps said. “It has been a grind but we’re still having some decent results in spite of it all. We have managed to move up a bit in the world rankings, which is good.”

He said the track is flat near the top, but has more difficult sections near the bot-tom.

“The keys are going to be big start times and being clean through the tricky sections,” he said.

Kripps expects the toughest competition will be from the Lat-vians, as well as the Germans, who will have the home track advantage.

Kripps and his

teammates finished fourth in the two- and four-p e r s o n events at the last W o r l d C u p event in S o c h i , R u s -sia ear-lier this month.

O v e r -a l l , Kripps finished the season in seventh

place in the two-person and in ninth

place in the four-per-son category.

Last year, the team was ranked 11th and 10th respectively.

Kripps and Bryan Barnett are in the two-

person category. In the four-person cat-egory, they are joined by Tim Randall and Ben Coakwell.

Two members of basketball team travel out of town to play

John Arendt

Two players on the Summerland Sec-ondary School senior Rockets basketball team are also active in out-of-town teams as they pursue their sport.

Abhi Lekhi, a Grade 12 student, also plays on the UBC-Okanagan team in Kelowna while Landon Brickenden, in Grade 11, spends four months each year with the Drive basketball team in Richmond.

“We like the sport,” Lekhi said. “We pretty much live for it.”

Lekhi’s dedication to his sport involves trips into Kelowna for team practices and games during the four-month season.

The team schedule and Lekhi’s commute add up to a signifi-

cant time commit-ment, which requires him to work hard to achieve a balance with his academic workload.

Despite the amount of time he devotes to basketball, he does not see it as a difficulty. “It’s a huge commitment but it’s not a sacrifice,” he said. “It’s something I love to do.”

In addition to playing on teams, Lekhi has also organ-ized three-on-three basketball tourna-ments in Summer-land and has peti-tioned the school board to make improvements to the high school gym.

Brickenden’s com-mitment to the game takes him out of the community from April to July.

In Richmond, he stays with his uncle and aunt. His school work is done online.

To prepare for his time in Richmond, Brickenden had the majority of his aca-demic courses in the

first semester of the school year. In Rich-mond, he will con-tinue with his English and Spanish courses.

Lekhi and Brick-enden have both played basketball

since they were young and have both been active on the Summerland Second-ary School team.

In addition, they were recently given all-star recognition in

the region. The recognition

is for their achieve-ments in the sport, but it does not involve playing on all-star teams.

“I have been coach-

ing basketball players for 25 years and Lan-don is the best leaper I have ever seen,” Dave Stathers, coach of the Rockets said of Brickenden.

He also noted

Lekhi’s skill and love of the game.

“Abhi is a coach’s dream: a strong lead-er, good role model, great skills and won-derful passion for the game,” he said.

Players go the distance to hone skills

PARK, JOHN WESLEYIt is with great sadness that we announce the passing of John Wesley Park, on February 5, 2015 at the age of 80 years. John passed away peacefully with his daughter by his side at Penticton Regional Hospital. He is survived by his children: Kevin (Ivy), Karen (Victor) and Derrick (Sue), grandchildren: Peter, David, Brandon, Katie and Dylan, great grandchildren Harmony and Tamara. Amongst his immediate family, he leaves behind two brothers, three sisters and many nieces, nephews and friends. He was predeceased by his loving wife Shirley, son Michael, parents John and Stella and brother Gordon. John served in the Royal Canadian Navy for 15 years where he moved from coast to coast, in two year increments, eventually landing in Ladner, BC. During his time in the service, he was aff ectionately known as “Jake” and enjoyed participating in hockey and curling with his Navy friends. Aft er leaving the RCN in 1970, he embarked on a successful real-estate career where he became one of Richmond’s top performing salespersons through hard work, dedication, honesty, integrity and most of all, putting his client’s interests fi rst. He served one term on the Greater Vancouver Real Estate board as secretary and was known to many of his peers as “Honest John.” He loved the outdoors and shared many adventures camping, hunting and fi shing throughout the years with his family and friends. His love of gardening eventually became a career as he worked for the Vander Zalm’s at Fantasy Gardens and the City of Richmond, before retiring to the Okanagan. Th ose that had the opportunity to know John knew him as selfl ess, as he would do almost anything for his family and friends and would give the shirt off his back for those in need. He will be missed greatly, but his loved ones take solace knowing that he is now at peace. Even through his suff ering, he maintained his optimism and humour, always having time to tell a story or a joke. A celebration of John’s life will be held with family and friends in the summer of 2015. In lieu of fl owers, the family requests donations be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation, Vancouver, BC.

Th e Family of May Fabbi would like to express their thanks to those that sent cards, fl owers, and prayers. We are truly grateful!

A special thank you to Dr. Martine Lebel and her won-derful compassionate care, Brenda Hamilton and the staff of Summerland Funeral Home, the staff of Summerland Medicine Centre Pharmacy, Brother Gerald Craig of Holy Child Parish, the Summerland CWL for providing the luncheon, Dale and Sally Webster and the other guardian angels (you know who you are) that visited our Mother on a weekly basis.

Finally, a special thank you to Lisa Burt and staff of Prai-rie Valley Lodge for their outstanding compassionate care. We are blessed to have such a facility in Summerland. We cannot imagine that our Mother would have lived for the past 7 plus years without your per-sonal care and attention. Our mother is a true testament to the devoted service that you provided.

A Special Note of Thanks

TRY A CLASSIFIED AD

14 www.summerlandreview.com Thursday, February 26, 2015 Summerland Review


What do you get when you combine soft guitar chords, beautiful pottery mugs, decadent des-serts, fancy coffee and Oraniensteiner wine? Cafe Noir.

What an even-ing. The Summer-land Bakers created the most amazing and delicious des-serts. Once again the Summerland Pot-tery Guild supplied beautiful handcrafted pottery mugs that we all got to take home as a reminder of a wonderful evening. Many people didn’t wait until the follow-ing morning to try out their new cof-fee mugs, they took advantage of being able to indulge in a fancy coffee created by Darin Fair of Lone Tree Coffee Com-pany who was there with his special cof-fee maker. Sonoran Estate Winery had an array of wonderful wines including the only Oraniensteiner

table wine in Can-ada and their Happy Dragon fortified red wine. How well that port went with the delectable chocolate desserts. All of which was enjoyed while listening to the guitar music of Sean Perdue and Dean Hanenberg of Almost a Few.

For photos of this event check out the Facebook pages of both the Summerland Bakers and the Sum-merland Commun-ity Art Council as well as the Summer-land Baker’s blog at summerlandbakers.wordpress.com.

There is still an opportunity to see the musical Beauty and the Beast at Cen-tre Stage. But don’t delay as this Sum-merland Secondary production finishes Saturday evening. As always, these high school drama pro-ductions are incred-ible.

Love and laughter hit the stage, when a

meddling aunt tries her best at getting Sara married in the Many Hats Theatre production of the Sam Bobrick comedy. Getting Sara Mar-ried is at the Cannery Stage in Penticton, but only until March 7. Showtimes are 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fri-day and Saturday with a 2 p.m. Sunday matinee. For tickets call 250-276-2170. You can find more information about the play on their web-site: www.manyhat-stheatre.com.

The Summerland

Community Arts Council is holding its annual general meet-ing this Saturday at 1 p.m. and everyone is invited to attend and hear about all the different programs ahead in 2015 (includ-ing Wednesdays on the Water, and the annual Street Banner project which gets underway on March 16.) As with all vol-unteer based organiz-ation the Arts Coun-cil is always looking for new people to assist with various special events and/or join the board. And as I’ve mentioned before you don’t have to be an artist to get involved and help promote the arts in Summerland.

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.
