VOTED BEST NEW BUSINESS FOR 2012 IF YOU ARE looking for fresh local fruit and veggies, look no further than the Penticton Farmers’ Market on Saturday mornings.
Shopping local is the healthy choice The Canada Food Guide recommends the consumption of eight to 10 portions of fruit and vegetables every day. The more these foods are bursting with vitamins and nutrients, the healthier you’ll be. But which fruits and vegetables on the shelves of your local grocery store or fruit and vegetable shop are the most nutritious? The answer to that is obvious: those which are produced locally. FRESH = NUTRITIOUS — The fresher fruits and vegetables are, the more vitamins and other nutritious elements they will contain; and the longer the time lapse between harvesting and consumption, the fewer nutrients there will be. Local produce, having been transported over shorter distances before arriving at the store, will be much fresher than imported produce which has spent days or perhaps weeks in transit between the point of production
harvest alters the nutritional qualities of these foods by not allowing them to fully develop. MORE NATURAL PRODUCTS — It should never be forgotten that the use of pesticides is strictly controlled in the cultivation of fruits and vegetables in this country. However, imported products run the risk of containing traces of chemical products which are harmful to our health.

and their point of sale. Packaging techniques and use of preserving agents to keep food fresh will alter the nutritional qualities of imported fruits and vegetables even more. Moreover, in order to try and offer imported products which look as fresh as local products, foreign distributors will often harvest fruits and vegetables before they reach full maturity. This early

Quality found closer to home FOR R THE WAY IT IT’S S MADE.®
When the time comes to purchase manufactured products, choosing a local supplier is a sensible decision and ensures a guarantee of good quality. A local supplier must follow certain strict standards of quality and can tell you about all the different stages of production from the initial purchase of the product’s components to all the ¿nishing touches. This makes a locally-produced product our logical choice and the most advantageous one available to us.

Small shops can offer some big deals When buying anything from furniture to electronics, consumers are often inclined to turn to their nearby big-box store as a ¿rst stop in comparison shopping. Although big-box retailers do offer competitive prices, they may not be the best option for consumers trying to stay on budget or close to it. Boutique shops and local merchants often offer competitive prices and better overall service than bigger chains.
Another advantage to shopping at smaller retailers is that shoppers don’t have to drive long distances, ¿ght crowds, endure long lines or hunt for parking spots, making for a stress-free shopping experience that’s also smart from an environmental standpoint. Because of a more specialized selection, dedicated product specialists also may be more knowledgeable about the stock and functionality of certain items.
Good Things Come in Smaller Packages
Price is a major factor in where people shop. Millions of people turn to big-box retailers thinking they will get the best prices, but a little research can yield other ¿ndings. While some bigger chains may offer door-buster sales luring customers in with the “item du jour,” in general, prices on most everyday items are the same as many other retailers. All it takes is a comparison of a certain product to show the similarity in pricing. Research indicates it’s not uncommon to ¿nd similar pricing on most items in many big-box stores. Therefore, these retailers use bigticket items to attract customers, who then just stay in the store to get the remaining higher-margin items and accessories on their lists. Shopping in smaller stores or independent online retailers also may be preferable to many con-

sumers. The trend is to revitalize local economies by shopping smaller retailers and mom-and-pop establishments. Some companies actually offer incentives to do so.
Better Service, Low Prices
Many shoppers, particularly younger shoppers with less dis-
?
posable income, are under the mistaken impression that big-box retailers are the best way to shop due to widespread advertising by these retail giants. This type of shopping, however, could come at the expense of poor customer service or limited selection. Many independent retailers offer price
matching to remain competitive with the larger merchants in the area, and it’s hard to beat independent retailers on customer service or the availability of a wide selection of distinct items.
Smaller Crowds and Fewer Hassles
A September 2009 study in civic economics titled “Thinking Outside the Box: A Report on Independent Merchants and the Local Economy,” reviewed ¿nancial data from 15 locally owned businesses and compared these stores’ impact on the local economy to that of an average big-box store. The study found that local retailers returned more of their revenue to the local economy. In many cases, local businesses also shop local, equipping their stores and building their Web sites with resources from other local companies. This means more money is being kept in the neighborhood and in the country. Customers who normally lean toward bigger retailers may want to experience the bene¿ts of shopping outside the box.

Theatre ushers in new era in entertainment Penticton’s new Landmark Cinema theatre will be open by the fall. “Things with the timeline are moving along very well, we don’t have any issues at this moment in time. We are looking at opening in September,” said Fran Holy, Landmark Cinema’s national director of marketing and communications. After years of rumours of a new movie theatre, in September the city, along with the Downtown Penticton Association and property owner Vicki Gerrits, announced the ¿nal piece of the puzzle arrived for a deal to be forged on the land that faces Westminster Avenue. Environmental certi¿cation cleared the ¿nal roadblocks for development of what is going to be known as Iron City Square when complete. But it all started with Penticton resident Vicki Gerrits, who didn’t want to see another set of condos in the Penticton downtown core. She sat on her family’s much-sought-after property for years. “To me it was always my dad’s property and something that he saw as being a really key property in Penticton, so I wanted to be able to put something there that would give back to Penticton. When there were offers on the table I waited. I always wanted to go with the cinema because I thought that would energize the downtown core,” said Gerrits. “I would love to be able to sit in one of the restaurants that is down by the theatre and watch all the people coming and going and realize that site now has rejuvenated the downtown core of Penticton.” The new Penticton theatre draws more comparisons to the cinema that Landmark opened in New Westminster this May. In December, Landmark Cinema executives came to Penticton to watch as demolition began on the Liquidation World building on Winnipeg Street. The site is now a busy construction area where, with a little vision, one can see the makings of the seven-screen multiplex cinema. Once completed, the theatre will have rocker stadium seats, 7.1 digital sound, large curved screens, RealD 3D in four out of seven screens and the ability to purchase tickets online.
FORD SERVICE
CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES on Penticton’s new Landmark Cinema, expected to open in September.
“There will be beautiful rocker seats that are very luxurious and comfortable with lots of leg room. They are very comfortable theatres to sit in and you won’t feel crammed in at all,” said Holy. Holy said there has also been research into parking capabilities, and it has shown there is “ample parking on the theatre lot and around the theatre lot.” Employees from the Landmark Cinema-owned Pen Mar Cinema Centre on Martin Street will be asked to join
the new theatre, and it is expected the number of staff will grow from the current 15 to as many as 40. As for the old Pen Mar, its days as a theatre will come to an end. “We are going to have a nice, fond farewell. I know the Pen Mar is not the nicest looking theatre to go to right now, but there is a lot of history there. We are going to say goodbye in a very nice way,” said Holy, adding it will not be left open for second-run showings.

Proud To Be Canadian
Tackle renovations closer to home
Contributing to the Canadian economy is important to us at Habitat. We source as many products as possible from Canadian suppliers, use Canadian materials as often as we can, and employ local people at our facility in Langley, BC. We don’t outsource because supporting Canada is an essential way that we can connect with and contribute to our community and our country.
Many people mistakenly believe that they won’t be able to find what they’re looking for if they live in a small town. Therefore, they resort to going to huge shopping malls in large urban centres only to return home discouraged. If you want to renovate this year, before spending a lot of money on gas, why not stop first at some of your local stores. You might be pleasantly surprised. Even though your local merchants sometimes only have a small area to work with, they are often very well organized and may have the product you’re looking for even if you don’t see it on display. A store owner often concentrates on the relevance and the diversity of items rather than on quantity. For example, they probably won’t have 350 identical handles for kitchen cabinets, but rather several dozen
examples of various models. Who needs 350 handles anyway? For very specific requirements, your local store will know how to best satisfy your needs. For example, if the majority of houses in your area have been built with stone or a specific type of wood, only businesses in your region will have what’s necessary to repair, replace or maintain your home. What’s more, because they are generally very attentive to the needs of their customers, if they don’t have what you are looking for it would be a pleasure for them to order it for you. Finally, be sure to make use of your local experts’ know-how. They know their products and they’ll be able to give you lots of good advice. You’ll soon understand exactly what good customer service really means.

GERRY KARR puts a dot on a big map representing work and play at the visioning session for the Downtown Revitalization Plan. The sessions are designed to be interactive, encouraging visitors to place sticky notes with their ideas right on the sign boards.
Building a vibrant Penticton Downtown Penticton is already a popular shopping area, but the Downtown Revitalization Committee is laying out plans to take the community’s 100 year-old core and bring it into the 21st century. Keeping downtown a vibrant, lively place is key to local use of the heart of the city, said the committee’s co-chairs, architect Nick Bevanda and Barb Haynes, executive director of the Downtown Penticton Association. They’ve named the process the “Vibrant Penticton” project, making that the driving vision for the city committee that has already begun developing a sweeping three-year strategic plan for the revitalization of Penticton’s downtown. Vibrant Penticton means revitalizing the downtown and waterfront areas of the city, updating aging infrastructure and catering to the new desires and needs of a much different population than when it was built. “It’s like when you go in and decide to redecorate your tired home, there’s a greater sense of people wanting to gather in that space and that place, and I think that’s
the opportunity for the downtown core as well,” said Haynes. Engaging the whole community, she added, is key to making the plan a success. “A strong, vibrant downtown is to the bene¿t of the community,” said Bevanda, adding that getting the public onside is key to planning a downtown “where the heartbeat pulses with energy and vigour and the community relies on its downtown as a vital component.” So far, the committee has done extensive public consultation process, with both open houses and some non-traditional events like holding a Saturday night session at a local hot spot. The next step for the downtown revitalization project is a design charrette, which will be held from July 30 to Aug. 3, with a sidewalk session during the Saturday markets downtown on July 28. The public is also invited to attend a speci¿c session during the charrette — the stakeholder walkthrough and Q&A period — scheduled for Aug. 1 from 5 to 7 p.m.

1. LOCAL ECONOMIC STIMULUS When you purchase at locally owned businesses, more money is kept in the community because locally owned businesses often purchase from other local businesses, service providers and farms. Purchasing local helps grow other businesses as well as the local tax base. 2. NON-PROFITS RECEIVE GREATER SUPPORT Local business owners donate more to local charities than non-local owners. 3. UNIQUE BUSINESSES CREATE CHARACTER & PROSPERITY The unique character of your local community is defined in large part by the businesses that reside there, and that plays a big factor in your overall satisfaction

with where you live and the value of your home and property. 4. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT IS REDUCED Small local businesses usually set up shop in the town/village centre, providing a centralized variety that is much friendlier to a community’s walk score than out of town shopping malls. This generally means contributing less to sprawl, congestion, habitat loss and pollution. 5. MOST NEW JOBS ARE PROVIDED BY LOCAL BUSINESSES Small local businesses are the largest employers nationally. Plus, the more jobs you have in your local community the less people are going to have to commute, which means more time and less traffic
Buying local helps stimulate economy
The direct purchase of products which are manufactured or cultivated here ensures that the manufacturer, the farmer or the craftsman receives a fair and equitable price for their merchandise. Inversely, the manufacturer of an imported product often sees his profits gradually melt away due to the fact that his product must pass through many different hands before arriving on our store shelves.
Several studies also prove that businesses created here have a greater tendency to keep their factories and other installations in the community where they were first established. Large foreign enterprises, on the other hand, move regularly depending on what area can offer them the most inexpensive operating costs at that particular moment in time. By encouraging local businesses, consumers support those companies whose lasting presence in the community is virtually guaranteed. And don’t forget that investing in local business is to invest in the local population, maintaining levels of employment and creating new jobs. Finally, it is also interesting to note that local companies, supported and encouraged by local consumers, are more likely to offer financial support to community organizations and, in this way, give people in need a helping hand.

Shop local for summer pleasures With the arrival of the warmer weather, you might ¿nd you’re still missing a few summer comforts. You may be used to shopping in bigger city centres, but much of what you need can be purchased locally. Shopping close to home is a great way to support the businesses owned by your townsfolk and to keep money circulating in your hometown. For most of us, what would summer be without barbecuing? Fortunately, most hardware and department stores stock barbecues that are designed and manufactured here. Before making your ¿nal choice among the many models on offer, decide what your budget is, how much room you have to store it, and the size of the cooking surface you want. Next, decide on the type of fuel that will be best for you: natural gas, propane, or charcoal. The higher the BTUs available (British Thermal Units, a unit measuring the heat produced by a burner), the more your barbecue can handle. If you’re thinking about investing in a swimming pool, talk to the consultants at your local pool store.
LOCAL STORES can help you stock up on essential summer equipment.
You will have to decide if you want an above-ground pool or an in-ground one, and if you want a chlorinetreated pool or a saltwater one. All have their advantages and varying prices. For an above-ground pool, good quality components — the wall, the outside posts, the edge, the cover and the ¿ltration system — will ensure that you
receive the best value for money. Choices are even more plentiful for in-ground pools; the shape, dimensions, and depth of the pool can all be adapted to your requirements. Three basic materials can be used to construct your pool: concrete, concrete covered with a vinyl liner, or ¿breglass.

YOUNG MOTHERS are often responsible for purchasing about 80 per cent of the items for a home.
Tiny tots generate a lot of shopping New mothers are at the centre of our society’s economy. As many are responsible for providing for their new families, they represent an important component of our economy. Young mothers, often responsible for purchasing about 80 per cent of the basic products for the home — clothing, food, cleaning products, medications, etc., — exercise an enormous inÀuence on the economy but also on the world of marketing and publicity. Young mothers are often in constant search of a better buy, a better price or a better product. Thus businesses must develop effective strategies for attracting mothers towards their product rather than someone else’s. A joint study done by Babycenter and the Keller Fay Group indicates that future and new mothers participate actively in
conversations on the web. Many of them relay their opinions on products and services to other mothers. What’s more, they trust their peers and, in 69 per cent of cases, will consider purchasing a product which has received positive comments from other women. It should also be stressed that women are more and more responsible for purchases generally considered to be in the realm of the male, for example the purchase of a house or a car. This fact gives them even more weight as far as the economy is concerned. Moreover, not only are mothers major consumers, but there are more and more women who set up their own businesses. Sure enough, a large number of new companies are set up by women and a lot of them have their “head of¿ces” in the home.
Shopping local helps us all Collectively, we all have a lot to gain by supporting our local shops and producers. Indeed, every time we encourage the merchants in our neighbourhood we are making a gesture that is pro¿table for ourselves and our community. We are contributing directly to the economic development of our region as well as strengthening its social fabric. The people who offer products and services in our immediate surroundings are often our family members, friends or neighbours. By supporting them we are, in a way, supporting ourselves. When we show solidarity with local enterprises, we are contributing, in concrete terms, to job creation and, consequently, to an increase in purchasing power and local employee revenues. Moreover, we should remember that a region with a strong economy brings
many dividends to the community that allows it to prosper. This generally translates into the creation and maintenance of infrastructure and quality services for citizens. Building parks, playgrounds for children, libraries, sporting complexes or landscaping communal areas are just some examples of the improvements that are directly tied to the local economy’s health. Collectively, this contributes directly to the improvement in the quality of life within the region and, to a certain extent, can even help in slowing down the exodus of young people and quali¿ed manpower to large urban centres. We are all links in the long chain of a regional economy which we strengthen each time we buy locally. Encourage your local merchants; it’s pro¿table for everyone.

Discover your neighbourhood
LOCAL MERCHANTS bring a more comfortable and familiar dimension to our daily shopping.
Details make all the difference Local store owners have an innate sense of customer service. Naturally and spontaneously, they never miss an opportunity to demonstrate the advantages and bene¿ts of shopping close to home. More often than not, they know our names by heart as well as those of our parents or our children, bringing a warm and friendly dimension to our daily shopping. Better still, they remember our tastes and our expectations in detail. The butcher, for example, knows exactly which cut of meat to serve to one customer and which to serve to another without forgetting their favourite type of ham and how thick it should be sliced. It’s true, of course, that these little details are not essential to our survival,
but they do contribute toward improving our quality of life and making our shopping experience that much more pleasant. Moreover, the proximity of goods and services not only makes our daily lives easier but also allow us to save considerable amounts of time and money. Even though the ticket price may sometimes be a little higher at a specialized neighbourhood store, reducing the number of trips we make to large urban centres weighs the scales considerably. Indeed, once the cost of gas is added to the bill, some price reductions do not justify the trip. At the end of the day, buying local is often our best option, in economic as well as human terms.
Moving can be a huge upheaval for adults as well as children: new surroundings, new routines and new friends. According to several studies, moving is the third most stressful event after mourning and job loss. If you have moved recently, here are a few tips to help you adapt to your new surroundings. Municipal websites and local newspapers can’t be beaten as ways of ¿nding out all you need to know about all the services and activities on offer, such as swimming pool and library opening hours, summer festival programs, and sports and cultural facilities. Next, visit the downtown area on foot. Even in suburbs, there is likely a commercial core somewhere. Frequented by residents and visitors alike, town centres are the place to ¿nd shops, cafés, and restaurants. Chatting with people at these places can open up many possibilities. Another good idea is to spend some time discovering the broader area on a bicycle or on a public bus. Get to know your neighbours by inviting them for a housewarming party. This kind of get-together, big or small, will give your children the opportunity to feel more at ease in their new surroundings, and your new neighbours will certainly appreciate this type of thoughtfulness. Finally, before school starts, look for clubs that your children may be interested in joining. This will allow them to make friends and to ¿t in more quickly. Another way to help your kids is to

show them, well in advance, the route they will take between home and school. See if neighbours can put your children in touch with others in the area, with whom they can walk to school.

Local support just makes sense During the present economic slowdown, buying local is becoming more and more the norm when it comes time to purchase all the necessities of day-to-day living. As well as encouraging the local economy, purchasing items which are locally produced brings numerous advantages, making them the logical choice and, at the same time, lending support to our communities. It goes without saying that buying local, ¿rst and foremost injects money directly into the local economy. This money helps to maintain or expand local companies, allowing them to keep their employees and even create new jobs. In return, this will increase the buying potential of the local population and, just
as a wheel turns, the money spent comes back to us or to our neighbour. But buying local doesn’t just bring economic advantages. It also has a positive impact on the quality of the environment, on the ties which bind people together and on their feeling of belonging in the community where they live. Where fresh food products are concerned, living in the same area as the farms which produce them guarantees the availability of fresh, high-quality items. As for other consumer products, these will be better adapted to the people in the area if they are designed and manufactured locally by local people. Before purchasing anything, consider its impact and think about the importance of supporting our communities.
