Drama fest shortened Good Will Shakespeare affected by teacher job action by John Arendt Summerland students will get to experience the

Good Will Shakespeare Festival this year, but in an abbreviated form. Instead of the standard four-day festival, it will be held for one day at the Summerland Middle School, one day at Summerland Secondary School

and one day in Vernon. Linda Beaven, cofounder and organizer of the festival, said the abridged festival came about because of the ongoing teachers’ job action. Teachers had earlier voted to withdraw

extracurricular activities. The festival, which included evening and weekend sessions, was affected as a result. Early this month, festival organizers announced they would cancel the festival for this year.

Later, after meeting with Richa Thorpe, a teacher at Summerland Middle School, they chose to bring the festival back as a one-day event, during regular school hours, in the three schools. See FULL Page 6

Wharton Street zoning changes by John Arendt A proposed development along Wharton Street is one step closer to becoming a reality after a public hearing was held to consider changes to the zoning of the property. The zoning changes reduce the number of storeys from seven to five. The building height, at 24 metres, likely would not be reached with the first building. The floor area ratio was reduced from 2.95 to 2.5. Speaking at the public hearing, Brian Adams said municipal council must proceed carefully.

“The last time Summerland got involved with this property, it turned into a mess,” he said. Several years ago, another developer was interested in a seven-storey development for the same location. The building was to house the museum and library in addition to residential units. The plan for that project expired on Jan. 15, 2011 with no agreement reached and no work started. Patrick Murphy said he supports the development. “It looks pretty promising and I want it to continue,” he said.

Wilfred Barranoik of Westrand Consulting Group Inc. said the project will be important for the community’s economy. “We want something to develop here and show we’re open for business,” he said. Randy Gibson, one of the developers, said the zoning change is a necessary step in order to have the project move forward. Municipal planner Ian McIntosh said the bylaw was to modify the zoning of the property, not to approve a development. “The issue tonight is on the land use,” he said. “The development is a

separate issue.” Mayor Janice Perrino said at present, there is no deal on the table. Members of council supported the changes. Coun. Bruce Hallquist said the proposed development will benefit the downtown area. “The development of this land will enhance the commercial activity and the commercial development of the downtown area,” he said. “I think we’re going to be looking at a very favourable development,” added Coun. Peter Waterman. “This will bring bene-

fits to the downtown core, and that’s exactly what we need,” Perrino said. Coun. Orv Robson said the project will bring further benefits to the downtown area in the future. The zoning bylaw passed second and third readings at the Monday evening council meeting. Approval from the provincial highways ministry was required before the bylaw could be adopted. The approval was received on Tuesday morning and the bylaw is slated for final reading at the next municipal council meeting on May 14.

Bad tires, slick road cited in fatal collision Coroner’s report looks at causes of accident last June The death of an Oliver man in a headon collision with a school bus last year north of Summerland has been linked to wet road conditions and worn tires. On June 7, 2011 at 5:40 p.m. John Freitas Borba, 46, was northbound on Highway 97, six kilometres north of Summerland.

He was going around a curve when he lost control of his red Chrysler Cirrus, hydroplaning into the southbound lane and hitting a school bus. Borba was killed on impact. The inadequate tire tread depth for the road conditions was listed as a contributing factor by coroner Chico Newell, who classified the death as accidental. The coroner’s report was made public last week.

RCMP collision re c o n s t ru c t i o n i s t s determined that the tread on the rear tires of Borba’s car were below the minimum required by the B.C. Motor Vehicle Act regulations. The coroner’s report said it was an overcast afternoon with full daytime lighting conditions, but there was “an excessive amount of rain which had fallen just before the collision.” “The RCMP collision reconstructionist

stated it can be reasonably assumed that Mr. Borba lost control as a result of hydroplaning,” said Newell. The school bus was carrying 14 students and one teacher from Princess Margaret Secondary School who were returning from a field trip in Kelowna. An Olds Alero travelling in the outside lane beside the school bus was sideswiped as the bus driver attempted to avoid the collision.

One student with a head injury was airlifted to Kelowna General Hospital while others received non-life threatening injuries. The teacher driving the bus, who was pregnant, was taken to hospital but both she and the baby were all right. Occupants of the third vehicle, former Canadian Olympic swimmer Elaine Tanner and her husband, received minor injuries.

Former Summerland resident charged in Alberta murders Former Summerland resident Travis Vader, 40, has been charged with first degree murder in the deaths of Lyle McCann, 78, and Marie McCann, 77, of St. Albert, Alta. Vader was arrested in jail in Edmonton, where he has been held on unrelated charges since the summer of 2010. His first court appearance on the two counts of

murder is scheduled for May 15 in Edson, Alta. The McCanns disappeared in July of 2010 on a trip from their home to meet relatives at Abbotsford. Their motorhome was found burned at a wilderness campground west of Edmonton, and the SUV they had been towing was later found abandoned. The two were declared

dead a year after they disappeared but their b o d ies have not been found. Travis RCMP Vader n a m e d Vader as a “person of interest” in the case and later as a “suspect.” The murder charges were laid Friday and announced

on Monday. Vader, a former oilfield worker, lived

in Summerland until 2008 with his then-wife and their children.

POLICE REPORT Gas siphoned

Tickets issued

On April 23, police were called after gasoline was siphoned from a vehicle parked on the 9000 block of Quinpool Road. The gas cap was left off the vehicle and a piece of hose was left behind.

On April 19 at 1:30 a.m., police noticed two men and a woman intoxicated in public. The three were issued tickets and were escorted to their destination.

Car recovered, Jeep stolen

On April 18 at 11:39 p.m., police were called when a vehicle owner noticed someone inside a Plymouth Neon on Brown Street. Police say the suspect was scared off. He was wearing a hoodie and the lower part of his face was covered.

On April 19, a white Honda Civic, stolen from Penticton, was recovered on Sunset Place in Summerland. A 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee was stolen from the same location. The Jeep was later recovered in Penticton.

Suspension issued On April 18 at 6:30 a.m., police stopped a motorist north of Summerland after the driver showed signs of impairment. The driver blew a Warn on the Breathalyzer and was issued a three-day driving suspension. The vehicle was impounded as a result.

Ask Your Dentist...

I’ve read recently that dental x-rays cause cancer. Why do dentists take x-rays and are there any alternatives? Rita B.

That is a great Dr. Cindee Melashenko question. You are always able to ask your dentist why the x-rays are being taken and make a decision of what is best for you. In my office, I base the need for x-rays on the individual risk the patient has for infection, decay and periodontal disease. If the risk is high, we usually take an x-ray so we know what type of treatment to recommend to best preserve the tooth/teeth. When I view x-rays, I am looking in the bone—both at the density and the level, at the roots of the teeth, and inside the teeth for infection and decay. Likewise, if the risk is low, we may only take x-rays every 2-3 years. In a recent article by the American Cancer Society, dental x-rays were linked to cancer. Unfortunately, sometimes the things that help us can also be harmful. I don’t want cancer—for myself, my family or my patients, but I also want to maintain the oral health of my family and my patients. A solution that I have come up with is digital x-rays. Several years ago, I invested in upgrading my current x-ray equipment to digital. What this means for my family and patients is that their exposure to radiation is reduced by about six times and I am still able to “see” or diagnose everything on the x-rays. So I can take the x-rays that my patients need at a check up exam and expose them to significantly less radiation. Incidentally, the subjects studied by the American Cancer Society had traditional x-rays taken. X-rays are not all bad as they do help us prevent problems. For example, if you have early decay between your teeth, we can try to change your diet and oral hygiene to slow the decay and perhaps not have to fix the teeth. Or, if you have decay between your teeth that has passed the hard enamel shell, we can fix it with a filling or crown before your tooth needs a root canal. Bottom line: I only take x-rays that need to be taken based on my patients’ oral health goals. If you can reduce your risk for cavities or bone loss, that will reduce the number of x-rays you need—which is a good thing! If you would like Dr. Melashenko to answer your dental question, email her at drcindee@ goldenpeach.net or send it via FACEBOOK under Jubilee Dental Centre.

EDITORIAL

our pick

Caught in a dispute Summerland’s Good Will Shakespeare Festival will take place this year, but it will be considerably shorter than in the past. Instead of a four-day celebration of theatre, drawing students from around the province for a weekend, this year’s festival will be a series of three one-day events, two in Summerland and one in Vernon. The shorter schedule is because of the decision by teachers to withdraw extracurricular activities. Whether one sides with the teachers or the province in the ongoing dispute, it should be evident that the negotiation process is not working. The dispute has lasted close to a year. While it was supposed to be a matter between the teachers and the province, students and families have also been affected. In early March, classes were cancelled as teachers were off the job for three days. The loss of extracurricular activities does not have the same effect, but once again students and their families are the ones most directly affected. The same thing holds true during any other dispute between public sector employees and the government, at any level. Individuals are caught in the midst of disputes which do not resolve quickly. This is not to point the finger at one party or another. The problem lies with the negotiation process itself. By now, it should be evident that the process itself is flawed. No public sector dispute should continue this long and if the dispute involved labour and management in a private sector business, the resolution would likely happen much sooner. Once the teachers’ dispute is resolved, it is time for the province to look for a different way of handling future disputes. The extended dispute is not doing any favours for anyone.

Organizers of Earth Week held numerous events over the past week in a celebration of the environment. W h a t could have been nothing more than a token gesture grew into something much more significant, with participation from numerous groups and businesses in the community. Organizing the week’s activities took plenty of effort, but the results were spectacular.

Imagining an NDP government VICTORIA – NDP victories in two byelections bring the standings in the legislature to 46 B.C. Liberals, 36 NDP and three independents, one of whom has pledged allegiance to the B.C. Conservatives. B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins put a brave face on his thirdplace finish in Port MoodyCoquitlam and ChilliwackHope. Even in bedrock conservative Fraser Valley farm country, in a Tom Fletcher protest byelection with a high-profile candidate, the B.C. Conservatives managed to attract just enough to deliver a landmark NDP seat. The NDP was helped by the absence of the B.C. Green Party on the byelection ballots, with most of its five-per-cent support from 2009 presumably going to the winners. Cummins said his party’s goal going into the Port Moody-Coquitlam vote, with an unknown candidate and a handful of volunteers, was to break 10 per cent. They got 15 per cent and he declared a moral victory. Cummins rejected a possible merger with the “discredited” B.C. Liberals. Premier Christy Clark was equally emphatic that she will be the leader of the “free enterprise coalition” in the 2013 election. So the stage is set for an NDP majority government.

What will that look like? Well, Port Moody mayorturned-MLA Joe Trasolini has a wealth of local government experience, so pencil him in as municipal affairs minister. A long-time supporter of the B.C. Liberals, Trasolini should clarify if he endorses the NDP constitution, which still opposes all profit-making activity. He’s not the only high-profile newcomer likely to be included in an Adrian Dix cabinet. New NDP candidates from

against B.C. forest, mining, power and petroleum development. These folks would be working with Stephen Howard, who went from senior positions at the BCGEU and CUPE to his current role as Dix’s chief of staff. Dix, of course, benefited from the sudden ouster of Carole James, who made the mistake of trying to loosen big labour’s grip on the NDP and modernize some of its quaint 1930s notions.

Such a team brings impressive experience, but unfortunately for taxpayers, much of that experience has been in extracting money from the public treasury. union executive ranks will likely include long-time Hospital Employees’ Union president Judy Darcy. She no longer talks about bringing a “Marxist analysis” to economic matters. Darcy is now best known for leading the long court battle against the B.C. Liberal government’s contract-breaking legislation of 2002. The eventual decision of the Supreme Court of Canada basically invented a constitutional right to collective bargaining. Then there’s George Heyman, the long-time B.C. Government Employees’ Union president. After leaving the BCGEU, Heyman has taken a turn as executive director of Sierra Club B.C., a branch plant of the U.S. enviro-machine that works

Then we have B.C.’s thirdlargest political party, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, which has already confirmed it will continue its long campaign to replace the B.C. Liberals with the NDP next year. Such a team brings impressive experience, but unfortunately for taxpayers, much of that experience has been in extracting money from the public treasury. And if recent B.C. history is any guide, this fundamental conflict of interest will receive little or no media attention in the months to come. Instead, the conventional wisdom will be that voters want “change.” Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews. com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca.

culls Sometimes it’s impossible to please everyone. A proposed roundabout at the intersection of Victoria Road South and Prairie Valley Road will mean one of Summerland’s oldest houses must be moved or demolished. Members of the Summerland Heritage Advisory Commission have expressed their concerns about the future of the Darke house when the roundabout is created. The concerns of the commission must be considered, but so too must the concerns about traffic safety at this busy intersection.

Garnett Valley Road deteriorating Dear Editor: I have lived out Garnett Valley Road for more than 10 years and the condition of this road has always been poor at best but at least it was

passable. This road has now deteriorated to a point where is has become quite a dangerous road to navigate. Last year I and my family narrowly

avoided a head on collision with someone who was completely on our side of the road and travelling at quite a rate of speed. It was so close it really scared us.

Recently I was driving the road and there was a huge puddle. I could not avoid it and it killed the engine in my car. Luckily it dried out and I was able to get

home, but this was a large deep puddle. Recently my son was driving Garnett Valley Road and he could not avoid a huge pothole in the pavement and his car

bottomed out. Who will be responsible to replace the car for this 17-year-old who bought his first car when he breaks an axle or something? I had a hay deliv-

Did you know that April 29 is International Dance Day? To celebrate we thought we’d commemorate Mrs. Adele Davidson’s dance troupe from the 1930s. At top centre is Isabel (Laidlaw) Clarke. In the middle row from left are Kay (Ramsay) Spencer, Tiny (McLachlan) Rand, Phyllis (Simpson) Ramsey. In the bottom row from left are Gertie (Shields) Williams, Alma (Lloyd) Hill, Doris (Jackson) McLachlan, Vyvienne (Holman) Smith. It would have been great to see these ladies perform. Our quote of the week: “Life might not be the party you hoped for—but while we’re here, we might as well dance.” Author unknown.

ery brought to me the other day and the driver asked how bad this road had to get before someone would do something about it. He intimated that he might not want to come again if the road was not at least patched. It isn’t a question of if someone will damage their vehicle on this road. Ask a mechanic. The damage is being done, whether immediately obvious or not, the vehicles driving this road are being damaged and this is at the car owner’s expense. As if the damage to the vehicles isn’t bad enough, the real big issue becomes one of safety. People routinely drive on the wrong side of the road to avoid either huge potholes or very large collections of water which sometimes span most of the entire road on both sides. I spoke to Dave Hill to find out what the plan was for repairs to the road and he said that there would be nothing done this week and it didn’t sound promising for next week either. This road is a danger today and tomorrow and every day after that until at the very least these holes are patched. Shelly White Summerland

Many helped with Earth Week Street Festival Dear Editor: The Earth Week Street Festival Friday was well attended and lucky in that there was sunshine. About 100 kids came through over the three hours with their parents. They enjoyed decorating bikes

and trikes and then showing them off in a parade judged by Mayor Janice Perrino. There was a scavenger hunt, face painting, soapbox rides and skateboards made available by Freeride and many Earth Day information booths. Many people were

involved with volunteering their time. But I wanted to mention one group in particular. There were several young volunteers. Jordan Reimer from the Summerland Secondary School leadership program was super in lugging tables, toting signs,

taking pictures, etc. The Girl Guides and Boy Scouts were great in helping the small kids decorate their bikes, face painting and taking kids for rides in the soapboxes. The Climate Action table got a lot of Earth Week pledges

from kids and their parents, so Summerland definitely will be greener. Freeride was a big hit and drew in the older kids with their demonstrations by young adults and letting the kids try out the skateboards. We had alter-

nate transportation vehicles as we had the municipality’s Smart Car, Bill Atkinson’s electric bike, Summerland Medicine Centre’s scooters for mobility impaired and of course all the bikes, trikes, skateboards, and soapboxes that the kids were on.

Often, young adults get a bad rap but judging by the kids who helped out in the Festival; there are many gems out there. Margaret Holler Community Cultural Development Committee Summerland

Community survey planned The municipality will ask Summerlanders for their views and opinions later this spring. Three years ago, early in 2009, the municipality conducted a comprehensive survey of the community. “It’s time to do it again,” said Mayor Janice Perrino. She added that this survey will not be as comprehensive as the

2009 survey. Questions will e x a m ine what S u m merlanders see Janice as their Perrino top concerns and how the municipality spends its money. The survey will likely be conducted n May or early June.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Electronic Justice Many jurisdictions, including B.C., are watching to see if Ontario's "Integrated Justice Project" commenced in 1996 will be a success. The project, which is an attempt to electronically link all the different facets of the justice system, has taken longer than anticipated to implement and appears to be going above the original cost projections. As with any major change to a long standing system, the changes effect a great number of people and agencies. The effect of each of those changes has been reviewed and further investigation must be done. Everyone agrees that access to justice must be improved and made more cost effective. The trick is going to be whether or not the electronic advances we have all experienced are the ultimate solution.

during the festival. Summerland businesses also supported the event with financial support and donations of supplies. Beaven said she wants to see the festival return in its original form once the dispute between the province and the teachers is resolved.

“I see such value in the festival,” she said, “but we may have to try to organize it so it is not a school event.” This year the festival will be held on May 9 at Summerland Middle School, May 10 at Summerland Secondary School and May 11 in Vernon.

Roads ready to rumble by Barbara Manning Grimm The rumble strip installed on Highway 97 between Summerland and Okanagan Falls last year was funded in part by the Insurance Corporation of B.C.’s road improvement program. The project was done in partnership with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. ICBC contributed $14,000, part of its $189,000 investment in making South Okanagan roads safer, according to a report issued recently by the insurance corpora-

tion. ICBC launched the road improvement program in 1989, and since then has invested more than $100 million in projects across B.C. In 2011, ICBC invested approximately $1.3 million in projects in the Southern Interior and $6.5 million in 283 projects across the province. “We care about people’s well-being and are always looking for new ways to create safer roads,” said Fiona Temple, ICBC’s director of road safety. “That’s why we work with communities to identify high-crash areas

and make improvements that benefit everyone — drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. Simply put, safer drivers and roads mean fewer crashes, injuries and deaths.” Besides the rumble strips, road improvement projects completed in 2011 in the South Okanagan include traffic signal installation at Warren Avenue and Atkinson Avenue and Government Street and Warren Avenue in Penticton, widened lanes and shoulders at Yellow Lake in Keremeos and a multi-purpose trail near Osoyoos Lake on

Highway 97 and rumble strip installation from Okanagan Falls to Summerland. A recent evaluation of the program found that two years following a project’s implementation there is, on average, a 20 per cent reduction in severe crashes and a 12 per cent reduction in property damage crashes. The evaluation concluded that for every dollar invested in a project, ICBC and customers save $5.60 over two years and $12.80 over five years in reduced claims costs.

Information sought about pipe bomb Crime Stoppers is asking the public to help solve a crime committed in Summerland last month. Just after midnight on March 13, an explosion was reported to Summerland RCMP. Investigation showed that a Western News box had been blown up, scattering debris 100 metres in all directions. The remnants of a pipe bomb were also retrieved. Police are concerned about this activity as someone could have been seriously injured or killed.

Anyone with information on this very dangerous act is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477) or leave a tip on the website at www. SouthOkanaganCrimeStoppers.ca or text message sostips with your info and send it to CRIMES (274637) where you will remain anonymous. Crime Stoppers does not subscribe to call display and is not a police program. Should your information lead to an arrest, you may qualify for a cash reward of up to $2,000.

AND IMPLEMENT COMMON RATES On April 11, 2012, the FortisBC Energy Utilities applied to the British Columbia Utilities Commission to amalgamate their natural gas utilities across the province and to implement common rates and services across their service areas starting January 1, 2014. Currently, FortisBC Energy Utilities is made up of three separate natural gas companies, operating in six service areas. The companies have their own services, service agreements (tariffs) and rates. If approved, the application would combine the three companies into one, under a single tariff, with common rates for the various regions. This Application has different implications for customers in each service area. If approved, customers in the Vancouver Island and Whistler service areas will see rate decreases, while customers in the Lower Mainland, Columbia, Inland, and Fort Nelson service areas will see an overall rate increase. PUBLIC REVIEW PROCESS The Commission is initiating a review of FortisBC Energy Utilities’ Application.

778-516-5778 Automotive instruction Rick Cogbill of Mercy Tech Mission teaches automotive repair to students in rural Africa. Some of the students in this year’s classes were also in the program last year.

Plans needed to change by Rick Cogbill Special to the Review It can be frustrating when things don’t go according to plan. We plot; we prepare; we lay it all out in our minds how the day is going to go. But here in rural Africa, one has to think differently. You can plan all you want, but only one thing is for sure – it won’t go down the way you thought it would. My automotive training program has a plan. It’s a good plan, a workable plan. We start the mornings with training videos and lectures, and then fill the afternoons with hands-on sessions. The list of brokendown vehicles is long, so there’s no shortage of training opportunities. But Tomé, the maintenance man, has bad news. The grinding mill at the primary school is broken down, and the surrounding community depends

on it for their supply of maize meal. If we don’t go out that afternoon and bring the broken mill back to the shop to be welded, then a lot of people will be without their most basic food source. So my plans have to change. Cancelling the afternoon session, we head out through the bush in a four-wheel drive pickup, bouncing over rutted tracks that wind through tangled trees, and fording creeks where the bridges are out. Arriving at the school, I wait as Tomé and Jacobo dismantle the mill so it will fit into the truck. Being the middle of the bush, this ordinary maintenance activity becomes a great source of entertainment. Soon we have a crowd of school children gathered round, and as I watch them, I notice things — things like their tattered and dirty clothes, and that most of them are

barefoot. This is a missionsponsored school, so upon my return I ask someone why the kids don’t have better clothing. “We’ve tried,” I’m told. “People send us clothes all the time. For that school, we’ve probably provided clothes for every student maybe six or seven times. But the parents take the clothes and sell them.” So in spite of the good plans of others, the children are left wearing rags. As for the parents, it makes sense – they grew up wearing rags, so why should their children be any different? At the next training class, I take special note of my two youngest students. Castro and Joao are finishing Grade 8 and 9 respectively, and they’re here because they want to learn a trade; they want their future to be different that it was for their parents. We taught these

Hearing Clinic

same boys last year, and their questions during class reveal that they have retained a lot of what they learned. Today’s lessons are building on the foundation started last year, and as a result I know that their future will be different, and that difference in turn will affect the children that they one day will raise. The reality is that day to day plans can change. But if we accom-

modate the twists and turns of everyday life and persist, the long-term plan can prevail. Some changes take a generation to make, and you start by teaching the children. So I carry on with my plan, the very purpose of Mercy Tech Mission: Changing lives, one skill at a time. Rick Cogbill of Mercy Tech Mission is in Africa training students in automotive repair.

Concert features flute and organ by John Arendt A concert of flute and organ music at Lakeside Presbyterian Church will feature relatively recent compositions. Organist Christine Purvis and flautist Antonia Mahon said the oldest piece in the repertoire was written in 1936 while the most recent works were from the last few years. “One of the pieces was written in 2011 and another was in 2009,” Mahon said. While the music is contemporary, Mahon said it is not experimental. “It’s all extremely melodic,” she said. “We’ve picked music

with beautiful melodies and beautiful structures. There’s nothing bizarre or strange about it.” While some of the pieces will be performed on the organ or flute alone, most will be performed together. The two have performed at the church in the past and appreciate the opportunity to make music using the historic pipe organ. “The sound is just incredible,” Purvis said. “The acoustics are wonderful and the organ is 100 years old.” In addition to the sounds, Kelowna artist Francine Gravel will have some of her works on exhibit at the concert. Tickets are available at the Summerland Arts Centre and the Sweet Tooth.

Train to help Agur Lake Camp Fundraising ride will be held May 20 For the third consecutive year the Kettle Valley Steam Railway and Agur Lake Camp Society will partner up to run the Agur Lake Camp train. The train departs on Sunday, May 20 at 1:30 p.m. from Prairie Valley Station. There will be no fee for the ride. Instead, passengers will be invited to make a cash donation to Agur Lake Camp before boarding for a 90-minute round trip. Volunteers from ALC will be on hand selling hotdogs and coffee as well as answering questions. A slide show on the development of the camp will run continuously. The camp is being designed so that it will be accessible to people with a variety of disabilities. Plans are underway for the first campers to make trial runs in the facilities this summer. The Kettle Valley Steam Railway operates on the only preserved section of the historic Kettle Valley Railway built from 1910 to 1915. A highlight of the trip is the century-old steam locomotive, named the 3716 – Spirit of Summerland, which pulls coaches through six miles of

beautiful rural landscapes. A trip onto the Trout Creek Bridge, live music and historical commentary complete this railway experience. Passengers can ride in open air cars for maximum viewing, or in vintage passenger coaches for maximum comfort. All facilities are wheelchair accessible. Railway manager Ron Restrick is pleased with the railway’s involvement in this important project. “It’s our way of giving back to the community. We are helping build awareness about the camp and its need for public support and donations to keep the ALC moving forward,” he said. Barb Hatton, president of the camp society, said, “We at ALCS would like to thank all of our community partners for their very generous support without which we could not move forward with this amazing camp project.” The society is creating a wilderness camp for families with special needs. To ride the Agur Lake Camp Train you must make a reservation. Call toll free 1-877-494-8424 or 250494-8422. Donation is by cash or cheque only.

Lots to offer for family fun Getting to work with Summerland Parks and Recreation has allowed me the honour of getting to know our community by connecting with our residents through our fitness centre and helping to coordinate the numerous events run each year. Having moved to Summerland from the mega-city area of Southern Ontario, I welcomed the small town change but did not expect so many programs to be offered both for families and residents. The bonus feature for moving my family here was that Summerland had an indoor pool and a recreation centre. I knew recreation would be an avenue for me to meet my

new neighbours and make lifelong friends. I remember meeting the former fitness programmer, Lois Dickinson, and talking her ear off when I first moved to say how impressed I was with the programs offered. Little did I know that I would be helping in that role a year and a half later. I take great responsibility in helping mould the programs and community events we put on through Summerland Parks and Recreation. From the Earth Day Celebration, to Move for Health Day, Family Santa Skate and Giant’s Head Run/Man of Steel Triathlon. I enjoy these events so much when I see

We have extended the festivities to include Move for Health Day events prior to the ceremony and are offering a free community barbeque, sponsored by McDonald’s, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. I remember the turnout and excitement as the Olympic Torch Relay came to Summerland in 2010, and this Rick Hansen Relay will also be celebrating so much locally — highlighting our community difference makers, supporting inclusivity, accessibility and spinal cord research.

Western Canadian champs Hockey players Courtney and Alana Parker of Summerland helped their team win the Western Canadian Female Senior A Championships in Regina. They play for the Kamloops Progressive Air Vibe.

Vibe wins the West Two Summerland players helped win the Western Canadian Female Senior A Championships in Regina. Courtney and Alana Parker are members of the Kamloops Progressive Air Vibe hockey team which is the only female senior A hockey team in the B.C.

Interior. The Vibe is a member of the South Coast Female Amateur Hockey League run under B.C. Amateur Hockey. There are five teams in the A division and four in the AA division; therefore the schedule has the A and AA playing each other through-

out the season. The Vibe finished the season with 19 wins, five losses and four ties to win the A league. The team then won the provincials against a Richmond team in two straight games in a best of three game series, the first game in double overtime 3-2 and the second game 5-4.

SCOREBOARD Golf Summerland Golf and Country Club Results: April 17 Winners of the ladies’ low gross/ low net competition: First flight: first low gross Debbie Bevan, second low gross Val Eibner, tied for first low net Helen Pybus and Vi Ward, second low net Diana Leitch.

Longest putt: Cliff Ingram.

From the provincials they traveled to Regina to represent B.C. in the Western Canada Championship. The Vibe’s first game against Saskatchewan ended in a 3-3 tie. The second game against Manitoba was a 4-1 win. The third game against Saskatchewan was a 5-1 win. The Vibe’s only loss of the round robin play was against Alberta 1-3. The Vibe made it to the gold medal game and once again faced Alberta. The team was down two goals half way through the second period and then scored six unanswered goals to win 6-2. The Vibe had several injuries and only had 12 skaters and two goalies for five games in 46 hours.

A few driven young athletes from Peachland Boxing Club participated in one of the biggest for the year. Reese Waterfield, Thomas Guthrie and Summerland’s Eric Hahn-Hill all competed in the Golden Gloves tournament for their first time, showcasing months of training and preparation. Normally exclusive to the most experienced of amateur boxers, the Golden Gloves this year opened up allowing less seasoned boxers to compete. These young athletes were more than eager to rise to the opportunity. A two-day event, the Golden Gloves held many challenges and surprises for the boxing club. Hahn-Hill had bouts scheduled on both days of the event and emerged undefeated, bringing home a Golden Gloves championship. For Guthrie, Waterfield and Hahn-Hill though there’s little time for respite as they and several other of Peachland’s boxers have already set their sights on the upcom-

Summerland Review Thursday, April 26, 2012

Heritage home in way of roundabout by David Gregory Special to the Review Recently the Summerland Heritage Advisory Commission discussed

options for the Darke house on the corner of Victoria and Prairie Valley Roads. This home is one of Summerland’s oldest heritage homes and

with current plans to create a new roundabout at that corner, needs to be either moved or demolished. Commissions are

open to the public and the public can participate in discussions. For this meeting, a member of the Darke family travelled from

Vernon to attend the meeting. This family member provided history both of the family and of the home. Following a review of the history of the Darke family (Darke Lake and Darke Lake Provincial Park,) the commission considered possible options. One option that was initially considered was to simply re-position the home on the lot. A public works representative explained that the municipality required the remain-

der of the lot for a new above-ground, pressure reducing station on the site. The municipality owns the Darke house. The commission recommended to council that the municipality offer the building to the public at no cost. The commission also asked that the municipality explore the idea of moving the home to the rodeo grounds. The Commission also recommended that when the municipality plans to construct the new pressure reducing

station, that the district also considers creating a small heritage park with acknowledgment of the Darke family and the house. Finally the Commission reviewed the history of the Victoria Road and Prairie Valley Road intersection. In March 1987, Fraser Smith, one of Summerland’s wellknown citizens was killed at that intersection. The commission recommended the municipality consider naming this intersection the Fraser Smith roundabout.

Pioneer couple

James and Mary Darke, shown in a picture from 1899, lived at Victoria Road South and Prairie Valley Road until 1949. The home, one of the oldest in Summerland, must be moved or demolished to allow for a roundabout.

Ribbon cutting marks rodeo grounds upgrades Volunteers have added new stalls It has taken almost three years of hosting fundraisers and horse shows but improvements to the Summerland Rodeo Grounds are now underway. On Nov. 11, 2011, a volunteer work crew from the Summerland Rodeo Grounds Equine Development Committee broke ground on the permanent stabling at the grounds. Wally of Buccaneer Construction, led the way and worked with the Summerland building inspector to plan and create stalls that are sturdy, safe and in a convenient location adjacent to the main arena and the warm up ring. There are 12 new stalls, with six to be completed by the end of April and the remaining six to be

finished as soon as funding allows. They are covered to keep out the rain and sun. The municipality installed a seasonal water line to the new stall area. Fundraisers for the work included the Summerland Grounds Coffee, RCMP Musical ride, Horse Survivor, Donna Hawkins Clinic and the horse shows. Participating businesses included Tony Dunsdon excavation work, Summerland Builders Mart, SRG Sand and Gravel and South Valley Sales in Oliver. The ribbon cutting ceremony is planned for Friday, April 27 from 5 to 6 p.m. Mayor Janice Perrino will officially open the stalls for the Spring Dressage and Jumper show, April 28 and 29. This is the

first fundraiser of the year. The next improvement project is the upgrade of the warm up ring. Melissa Reimche has worked on a plan and a quote, and the committee is fundraising with four shows in 2012. The work is expected to be completed in the spring of 2013. Several shows and events are planned for this year in addition to the spring show this weekend. On July 7, the July Youth Horse Show will be a games-oriented show for kids.

It includes walktrot classes so the show will be more open to beginning riders as well as more experienced riders. On Oct. 14, the Halloween Horse Show is scheduled. Pleasure, equitation and games plus timed trail classes should be exciting and challenging. Please visit www. summerlandrodeogrounds.com or check the organization’s Facebook page. To donate time, supplies, equipment or cash, please contact Laura Dean at 250494-0314 or laura@ deanenvironmental. com.
