Firefighting innovation Members of the Summerland Fire Department have invented a cart to be used to rescue fallen firefighters. Standing from left are John Gove, Duncan Dubé and assistant fire chief Chad Gartrell. Billy Boerboom is holding the cart.
Four Summerland firefighters will be in Toronto early next month present a rescue device to the business experts at the Dragon’s Den television show. The CBC show is an opportunity for entrepreneurs to pitch business concepts and products to a panel of Canadian business experts who have the cash and ability to develop the ideas. Assistant fire chief Chad Gartrell and volunteer firefighters Billy Boerboom, Duncan Dubé and John Gove began working on their invention 18 months ago, following a practice at Boerboom’s packing house. The training session was for the rapid intervention team, made up of firefighters who are sent to rescue one of their own who is in trouble at a fire. The traditional rescue method involves going into the building, finding the fallen firefighter and dragging him or her out of the building. This task is difficult since a firefighter’s oxygen tanks and protective gear adds close to 25 kilograms. Since the firefighter is unable to move without assistance, he or she must be dragged from the site. This is a strenuous task for the rescue team members. See CART Page 2
Water metering rates considered by John Arendt Members of municipal council are still working on the details of water rates for the community. This year, Summerland will make the transition from flat rate water billing to a metering system, but the rates are not yet
set. Mayor Janice Perrino said the metering is needed to discourage those who watering irresponsibly. “We need to be regulating and penalizing those people who use too much water,” she said. Over the past year,
council has considered a number of billing options to achieve this goal. Metering is already in place for agricultural water use. The latest rate structuring model, prepared by Agua Consulting Inc., calls for a base rate for all customers, no matter
how much they consume. From there, additional water consumption will be charged at three different rates, depending on the amount used. The higher rates for the most excessive water use are an attempt to discourage people from high water use.
Perrino said the water metering is also useful as it can help the municipality to identify leaks in the system and determine how much water is used throughout the community. Water rates will not be implemented until the fall, she said.

Pilots take 88 youth on flights Penticton Flying Club COPA Flight #50 conducted their annual COPA for Kids flight program on Sunday. This is a national program operated by local members of the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association. Ironshore Insurance Company also provides sponsorship. The purpose of the program is to expose young members of Canadian communities to the world of aviation. They receive a short ground school session and learn about the theory of flight and then take ride in a light aircraft. This year 88 aviators between the ages of seven and 17 took part. They were from Okanagan Falls, Penticton and Summerland. The flying club expressed thanks to the schools, youth groups, RCAF Cadets and media who helped get the message out to our participants.

POLICE REPORT Bike rider gets ticket A bicycle rider was ticketed for failing to stop for a red light when he was involved in a collision with a motor vehicle Friday afternoon. A 2007 Toyota was northbound on Highway 97 and was turning left on the green arrow at Prairie Valley Road. The southbound bicycle travelled through the red light and collided with the Toyota. The bike rider received minor cuts and bruises.
New driver has license suspended A new driver received a 12-hour driving suspension when he was caught at a roadblock with alcohol in his system. He was not impaired, but newly-licensed drivers are not allowed to consume any alcohol before driving. The 26-year-old Summerland man was stopped Friday evening at Prairie Valley Road and Rutherford Avenue.
Arrested for intoxication
Help for hospice David Head, vice-chair of the Penticton and District Hospice Society, received a $500 cheque from the Summerland and District Credit Union. The money was raised from the sale of plush stuffed otters named Oakley. The otters sold for $12 each, with $10 going to support the charity. Also pictured is Herlinda Mills of the Summerland and District Credit Union.
Webcam set up in Trout Creek Smile, you’re on webcam A webcam will be installed this year in Trout Creek at Highway 97 and Johnson Street. It is one of new 30 DriveBC webcams planned for this year by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. The highway webcams allow motorists to check realtime traffic, road and weather conditions as they plan their trips. Eleven of the new ones will be in the Southern and Central Interior. With new webcams, motorists will be able to check traffic and weather conditions at the ferry terminals at Balfour (Highway 3A) and Galena Bay (Highway 23). A camera will be added to Highway 3A at Nelson and to Highway 3 in the
Bombi Pass. These 30 new webcams, along with the addition of a number of construction cameras from around the province, will bring the number of webcam images available on DriveBC to more than 250. Installations are scheduled to begin this spring, and it is anticipated all will be in operation before winter. Priority for new web cameras is given to routes prone to extreme weather or traffic congestion, and for sites where there is not already a nearby webcam. To help ensure easier, safer trips, DriveBC provides road condition updates, travel advisories, road closure information for provincial highways, weather information and other important links to the travelling

LEGALLY SPEAKING...
A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company
Inventors beware Have you ever had an idea or machine you would like to patent. Well, the sad truth is that it is a very expensive process and likely someone has thought of the very same idea before. Even then, once you have your patent, the question becomes - is it a marketable product? Many thousand of patented items are never produced commercially because there just is not a big enough market for them. Another thing to consider is that most new patents are modifications of existing patents. The US Patent office publishes a Gazette every week that lists the new patents issued. The number included in the gazette each week is between 4000 and 5000. That is an astounding number! Now, all of the above does not mean that you should not pursue that incredible idea of yours. Just be aware that it is going to be an expensive, long drawn out process.

EDITORIAL
our pick
Keep ideas coming When four members of the Summerland Fire Department noticed a difficulty during rescue training, they decided to find a new solution. The result is a small collapsible cart which can be used to rescue a downed firefighter from a burning building. The four members, firefighters Billy Boerboom, Duncan Dubé, John Gove and assistant fire chief Chad Gartrell, designed the cart to suit the needs of their department and firefighters elsewhere Next week, they will present their device to a panel of business experts for the Dragon’s Den television show. The cart could assist firefighters across North America in their rescue efforts since it provides a much more efficient and less strenuous solution than the conventional method of dragging a firefighter out of a building. The cart is remarkable not just because of what it can do for firefighters but because it is also the second significant invention to come out of Summerland this year. In January, Jai Zachary, another Summerland inventor, developed a device which combines hot water heating, space heating, air conditioning and backup electricity into one efficient unit. The firefighters’ invention and Zachary’s device are two examples of innovations which developed here. In both cases, those involved had the freedom to develop their ideas. They were able to consider new or unusual solutions to existing problems. The importance of a supportive environment cannot be overstated when it comes to developing new concepts and fresh ideas. Those with new ideas need the freedom to consider and develop them. We know there are others who have brilliant ideas here and we encourage them to keep pursuing those ideas.
With countless hours of work parties and fund-raisers behind them, members of the Summerland Rodeo G ro u n d s E q u i n e Development Committee have reason to celebrate. They have officially opened six new covered stalls to be used for horses taking part in equestrian events. The hard-working volunteers won’t rest on their laurels for long as they continue to work on improvements.
culls Forest jobs won’t wait for 2013 VICTORIA – Sawmill tragedies in Prince George and Burns Lake have brought overdue attention to the larger crisis, as the end of B.C.’s latest pine beetle infestation continues to transform the Interior forest industry. The urgency of the timber supply situation was set out in a couple of high-level documents that were leaked from the forests ministry in recent days. These leaks Tom Fletcher show several things, one of which is that this is a government in trouble. Someone on the inside forced the unpopular options into the public arena. Cabinet ministers have tried to dismiss the documents as early drafts, but no one has disputed their numbers. A report on mid-term timber supply looks at the four most beetle-affected areas: Prince George, Lakes (west of Prince George around Burns Lake), Quesnel and Williams Lake. In recent years B.C.’s chief forester has increased the annual allowable cut of all these timber supply areas substantially to harvest dead trees. In Lakes, the pre-beetle annual allowable cut was 1.5 million cubic metres. Currently it is up to two million, but once the beetle wood is unusable, it drops to 500,000. Even if visual quality rules are relaxed to release more timber, forest
employment in the area would go from 1,572 jobs before the beetle epidemic to 521. Prince George’s much larger harvest total is expected to drop by almost half. This document and a subsequent proposal to cabinet set out the options. They include relaxing visual quality areas, old-growth management zones and wildlife connectivity corridors. This is not as drastic as it sounds, given that the first
who work in B.C., a couple of things become clear. This pine beetle epidemic may be the largest on record, but it is far from the first. And despite many assertions by former premier Gordon Campbell, it is not certain if this one is the result of a broader climate trend or just a string of warmer winters after decades of fire suppression kept older stands around. But none of this will matter much in the urban political
“Old growth” is now a quasi-religious notion. International environmental groups have convinced most people that logging is the primary cause of forest loss. areas to be opened up would be those where many of the trees are already dead. Most beetle-affected areas have a substantial proportion of live trees. If decade-old dead trees were subsidized for biofuel use, this would support harvest and hauling of healthy sawlogs along with them. The government is also considering swapping some existing cutting licences to increase wood supply for the Lakes district, to provide enough long-term supply for reconstruction of the destroyed Burns Lake sawmill. There is also the prospect of awarding unassigned timber to “a single representative of the six First Nations in the Lakes TSA.” Speaking to forest scientists
debate that is about to ensue. “Old growth” is now a quasireligious notion. International environmental groups have convinced most people that logging is the primary cause of forest loss. In fact, the UN’s “State of the World’s Forests” reports have shown that 95 per cent of global forest loss is due to agriculture. Forest cover is increasing in industrialized countries, which use farmland more efficiently. The B.C. Liberal government needs to make some tough decisions quickly, before next year’s election. The premier’s vow to “create and defend” jobs is about to be tested like never before. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews. com tfletcher@blackpress.ca
Hearing loss can occur for a variety of reasons, but in many cases it does not have to happen. Noise-induced hearing loss can be prevented by avoiding exposure to loud noise and, where necessary, wearing hearing protection. That means turning down the tunes on the personal music player, and wearing the necessary hearing protectors on the job and when running noisy equipment such as chainsaws. It’s something to think about during Speech and Hearing Awareness Month.

Albas position reckless with health Dear Editor: MP Dan Albas is acting recklessly, putting his community members’ health at risk. He is supporting legislation that will reduce food safety oversight and make major cuts to the Can-
adian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA.) Canadians remember the devastating impact on many families from deaths caused by the listeriosis outbreaks. We know that more needs to be done to protect consumers,
but in a callous and misguided move the Conservatives are making the problem worse. They have decided to cut food inspectors and eliminate programs designed to proactively identify unsafe meat and
other food products. Bowing to industry pressure, Conservatives are also eliminating enforcement of product labelling in spite of widespread violations. Consumers will now be responsible for determining
whether companies’ claims about nutritional information, such as levels of cholesterol, sodium and sugar, are true. For those with serious health conditions like peanut allergies or diabetes, false claims could
prove deadly. Waiting for Canadians to get sick is not a food safety strategy. Liberals are opposing these cuts because Canadians deserve to know that food they buy at the grocery store is safe and that
manufacturers’ health claims are true. I encourage Mr. Albas to reverse his reckless position and put Canadians’ health first. Frank Valeriote, MP Liberal Party Critic for Agriculture Victoria

Summerland royalty has always been somewhat out of the ordinary, as this photo illustrates. Our Teen Town queen of 1949 regally swept through the streets in a parade in Penticton and won the acclaim of spectators for her remarkable gown. We’re confident that our 2012 royalty will also stand out—as inspiring role models and excellent ambassadors for our town. The Summerland Museum would like to congratulate all of the candidates in this year’s Blossom Pageant. You are all winners.
Puppy mill bill needs to go back to drawing board Dear Editor: The private member’s bill introduced by MLA Jane Thornthwaite will not help to curb puppy mills.
Adding these regulations to the B.C. Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act will not impact a puppy mill operation. The
bottom line for these operations is simple economics. Their sales market is pet stores. If you eliminate the market, pro-
duction will stop. It is evident that this bill won’t meet the intent when it is reported that the bill is supported by PIJAC Can-
Small town concert has big impact Dear Editor: Anyone who couldn’t attend the wonderful concert on Sunday, April 27 at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church in Summerland, missed a treat for the senses
Musaic’s perfect harmonization, along with some intense emotional singing, plus a combination of talented guest artists, produced an uplifting Night at the Opera. How fortunate I am to live
in this lovely small town, and be able to experience music that gave wings to my soul. Thank you for a beautiful afternoon. Fenella Sobchuk Summerland
ada. The Pet Industries Joint Advisory Council of Canada is an association of pet store owners. I applaud Ms Thornthwaite for her interest in curbing puppy mills, but suggest that she should work on the details more thoroughly. Seek input from the governing body for ethical breeders – the Canadian Ken-
nel Club. Their code of ethics is stricter than what she’s asking for. Talk with the city councils of those communities that have banned the sale of live pets in stores. As long as the public are uneducated that the “cute little doggy in the window” at the pet store that is from a puppy mill, they will continue buy them.
And as long as pet stores can continue to sell them, the puppy mills will always have a place to move their merchandise. MLAs should vote no to this bill, and send it back to Ms. Thornthwaite’s drawing board to get a bill that will eliminate this problem at the source. Del Beaulac Nanaimo

Help available for hearing loss by John Arendt People who are experiencing a loss of hearing can get plenty of help and support — if they seek it out. “You’re only as deaf as you want to be. There’s help out there for you,” said Sharon Stone, a member of Summerland’s Quest Society. She said those who are noticing a loss of hearing should go to
get their hearing tested and then acquire hearing aids. Stone’s hearing loss began when she was in her early 30s. “It’s been deteriorating ever since then,” she said. Today, she has tonal loss. While she cannot hear high tones, she is able to hear lower tones. Hearing aids have helped, but she still needs to cope with
hearing loss each day. Stone urges those who are losing their hearing to get tested and get hearing aids. While hearing aids are expensive, she said there are sometimes grants available for those who need them. Even without grant funding, she said hearing aids are an important purchase. “Tell your kids
you want them for Christmas,” she said. “If you really want them, you can find the money for them.” For those who do not want to be seen wearing hearing aids, there are some in-ear models on the market. Stone has found other ways to cope with hearing loss. She will let people know she has a hard time hearing so they
will speak up. “Tell people you can’t hear them. Ask them to speak up,” she said. For other communication, she prefers to use the Internet and e-mail. When she is out at a public event, she often takes a seat in the front row so she is able to hear the speaker. Centre Stage Theatre in Summerland,
the South Okanagan Events Centre and the Cleland Community Theatre in Penticton all have hearing enhancement units for those who need them. At Centre Stage, those who need hearing enhancement should book in advance so staff can get the system ready and the units charged. In other facilities,
such as churches, Stone urges those with hearing difficulties to let those in charge know about their condition. At retail stores, she said she is often finding clerks and staff who have hearing difficulties and are able to communicate with her. “There are more and more people with hearing loss in the system,” she said.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Municipal Council will hold a Public Hearing to hear representations of interested persons who deem their interest in property affected by the below mentioned amendments to Summerland Official Community Plan (2008) Bylaw No. 2000-310 at 7:00 pm on May 14th, 2012 in the Council Chambers of the Municipal Office, 13211 Henry Avenue, Summerland, BC: 1. Bylaw Number 2012-011 - A Bylaw to Amend ‘Summerland Official Community Plan Bylaw (2008) No. 2000-310, with respect to amendments to Add Properties to the Downtown Development Permit Area (Schedule K-3) That Schedule K-3 of Summerland Official Community Plan Bylaw (2008) No. 2000-310 be amended by adding properties to the Downtown Development Permit Area, as set out on the map marked as Schedule A. When the original Wharton Street development was proposed, the included properties were subject to a specific development design. The original development did not proceed and new developers are interested in pursuing the property. As no detailed design concept is proposed, and the District now has revised downtown development permit area design guidelines, it is appropriate to add all the lands to this development permit area. 2.

The RGS was officially adopted on April 1, 2010. The purpose of the RGS is to ensure that growth and development in the South Okanagan take place in a sustainable manner, recognizing that growth management issue reach beyond the boundaries of individual local governments. To achieve this, the RGS identifies goals across the region in an effort to meet common social, economic and environmental objectives. As a requirement of the RGS implementation, each member municipality must put in place a Regional Context Statement (RCS) for its Official Community Plan (OCP). Please note that all correspondence submitted to the District of Summerland in response to this Notice will form part of a public record and will be published in a meeting agenda when this matter is before the Council or a Committee of Council.

Greenhouse gas study sites here Researchers at the University of B.C. Okanagan have won a major grant from Agriculture Canada to determine the best way to water and fertilize crops in order to maximize resources while minimizing greenhouse gas emissions. Among the test sites to be used will be a vineyard and an apple orchard in Summerland. The $1.2-million grant represents more than one-tenth of
the research money UBCO draws annually, about $10 million, and should yield published results by 2015. Coming from a $27-million pot of money tabbed to develop technology for reducing GHG emissions from farming, the research is a major part of Canada’s contribution to the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases, an initiative with 30 signatory

countries. “The investigations undertaken by UBC scientists Melanie Jones, Louise Nelson and Craig Nichol will improve our understanding and help increase yields, while still reducing agriculture’s environmental footprint in the Okanagan,” said Miriam Grant, UBCO viceprovost and dean of research. Figuring out how to optimize irrigation systems to waste as little water as possible, and finding the perfect amount of fertilizer needed for specific crops to reach full potential, will ultimately save farmers money and make better use of resources that are likely to be in short supply as the effects of climate change unfold. Leaving water shortages aside, fertilizers are made from fossil fuels, which are finite resources that cannot be replaced at the rate they are being consumed, Nichol explained, so

using nitrogen-based fertilizers sparingly is extremely important and has been the focus of significant research already.
Look who’s following you everywhere! Readers look to us for weekly coverage of their community and now you can look for us online with an e-Subscription.
The groundbreaking twist to the work these scientists will do lies in how farmers and orchardists can minimize the impact watering and fertilizing have on the environment through the myriad of factors included in plant GHG emissions. Greenhouse gases are pegged as a major contributor to, if not the main cause, of global warming and plants let off the air pollutants just by growing. Carbon, one of the main gases involved, is produced during photosynthesis, the process by which
plants eat and grow; but it is also emitted when the root systems that store extra carbon, a process known as carbon sequestering, die off. Plants have both long-term root systems, which continually store carbon, and shorter-term root systems that die annually, emitting carbon. The researchers will look at ways fertilization and watering can be done to reduce carbon emissions from those secondary root systems, photosynthesis and whether GHG emissions are coming from the
long-term or shorterterm root systems. The second major GHG involved in farming is nitrous oxide, which causes a further chemical reaction to impact ozone. Nelson’s work will look at the nitrous oxide given off by bacteria in the soil with an eye to the impact of various styles and amounts of watering and fertilizing. Jones will work with colleagues in New Zealand to look at where the carbon emissions from the root systems are coming from and Nichol will look at the process overall.

Hockey and motorcycle safety There is something to be said when members of a community have an opportunity to come together and celebrate success and achievement. Such was the case this past Friday night as the Penticton Vees won the Doyle Cup in a decisive manner before the largest crowd of the season. On a personal note, to experience the electric atmosphere in the air and the collective cheers of 4,700 hockey fans watching history being made was one that will not soon be forgotten. I greatly enjoyed attending this hockey game and while this victory was the first of its kind in 26 years, something tells me that the South Okanagan will not have to wait another 26 years to witness the return of the Doyle Cup again in Penticton. This coming weekend the South Okanagan Event Centre will host one of the largest RV shows ever held within
B.C.s interior with close to 50 different exhibitors attending the show. Later this year legendary performers such as B.B. King, John Cougar and others will also appear at the facility. Although there are always challenges it is rewarding to see the SOEC start to establish many positive contributions to the region. As the Legislature is currently in session a number of new bills have been introduced recently that may be of interest to residents here in the Okanagan. Bill 36, the School Amendment Act 2012, proposes a number of changes the most significant is the elimination of the standard school calendar. Although a minimum number of instructional hours would still be required to be met, eliminating the standard school calendar would allow locally elected boards of education and education authorities
to offer more creative scheduling options that could better meet the needs of students. These changes do not suggest that the current school calendar would necessarily be changed, only that local districts would have more scheduling options then are currently available. Also this week, new changes were announced to motorcycle laws that will come into force on June 1. The new regulations will include strict enforcement that only approved helmets will be permitted for motorcyclists and any passengers including children. In addition the use of foot pegs or passenger boards will be required for any passenger on a motorcycle. Other changes include a graduated licensing system with power restrictions for new riders and greater education for car and truck drivers to be more aware of safe vehicle movement

Over the past 15 years, motorcycle deaths have increased by close to 60 per cent with more than 200 motorcycle fatalities alone recorded in the past five years and a further 5,000 reported injuries. Beginning in May of last year, larger motorcycle license plates with increased font size have also become standard

issue to riders. Lastly this week a comment in response to suggestions for road improvement projects. It is common to receive suggestions from members of the public for projects that could potentially improve various roadways and or intersections throughout our region. When I receive these requests if time permits I often attend the area in question firsthand; however, all comments are passed on to the Ministry of Transportation. Often a particular area may be scheduled for a future upgrade in two or three years time at which point these upgrades can be combined with other pending work. In some situations a project may be placed on a priority list given budget considerations or there may be other unresolved factors still pending. In some cases after further investigation
the suggested change may actually make a roadway less safe when considering other variables. In all instances every effort is made
to accommodate improved and safer road access for the motoring public. Bill Barisoff is the MLA for the riding of Penticton.

Fair trade and youth activities highlighted
Kinder-gardening The Giant’s Head School kindergarten classes were having fun shovelling topsoil into their garden boxes last Friday. The classes began a kinder-garden project last week with garden boxes donated and made by parents. The Summerland Parks and Recreation Department donated the soil. Art Knapps Plantland and store manager Carly Esson provided gardening tools and Grasslands Nursery gave vegetable seedlings and worms. Tina Martin, Jennifer Dykstra and Tristin Wilson were instrumental in getting this project started.

Health Matters High blood pressure is normally thought of as a major risk factor for heart attacks and strokes, but have you considered how it also affects other organs in the body? Your brain, for example, can be damaged by uncontrolled blood pressure, leading to a condition known as vascular dementia and possibly contributing to the development of Alzheimer’s. Be sure to manage your blood pressure and keep it in the optimal range. A variety of factors can temporarily increase your blood pressure readings. Consuming caffeine and/or smoking in the hour before testing can produce elevated results, as can having a full bladder. Be sure to sit and rest for 5 minutes before taking a reading. Some people can experience anxiety over having a blood pressure check (termed “white coat syndrome”) and doing home readings may be the solution to getting accurate results. Up to 20% of people can suffer from white coat hypertension and may end up being treated for high blood pressure unnecessarily. Conversely, a number of people can have masked hypertension which may not be recognized during routine office checkups and carries the same risks as untreated high blood pressure. Wearing a special 24-hour blood pressure monitor can help identify these patients, as well as regular home blood pressure checks. Home monitoring is an effective means of tracking your blood pressure when done correctly. Sit quietly for 5 minutes with your back and feet supported. Use the cuff on your bare arm, with your elbow resting on a surface at heart level. Take 3 readings to get an average (the first is usually the most inaccurate) and record the results and date/time to share with your physician. Weekly readings are generally all that’s required. Choosing the right home blood pressure monitor is key to getting accurate results. Talk to our pharmacists to ensure your needs are met.

Buying fair trade is a small and simple choice for most consumers, yet it means a world of difference to the producer. It ensures that the artisans and producers are given fair prices for their work and also guarantees a long-term, reliable business relationship between established companies and producers in third world countries.

Mother’s Day 2012
Summerland Review Thursday, May 3, 2012
(NC)—According to recent studies, Mother’s Day is now one of the top three commercial holidays in Canada. When it comes to shopping for mom, many mothers desire a gift that shows how much you care about her. The thought put into the gift is more important than the amount of money spent. Try replacing the traditional gifts with something more unique and thoughtful. Instead of creams and bath scents, consider writing your mom a poem. You might think you are not the writing type, but even if your poem is not as polished as those found on
greeting cards, the thought and effort of writing your own message will mean more to your mother. Search online for examples or patterns you can follow. Consider a photo album containing memorable photos of family events over the years. Online photo shops have made it easy to create scrapbooks and coffee table books for mom. From the comfort of your home computer you can upload, crop, and move photos to create a gift that will have her talking for years. Consider
giving
a
donation in your mother’s name. Charities like Christian Children’s Fund of Canada (www.ccfcanada.ca) offer an easy to use online gift catalogue at that allows you to choose a donation that would matter to your mom. Is she a teacher? What about providing school supplies to children in Africa. A gardener? What about seeds and garden tools to a farmer in Latin America. A stay at home mom? What about a loan to a mom in India to help her start her own small business? The gift you choose can be as unique as your mom is.

Mother’s Day gifts that keep on giving (NC)—If you ask any Mom she will tell you that not a day goes by that she isn’t thinking about or worrying about her children. Therefore Mother’s Day is a time to show your mom how much you appreciate all the time, worry, and love she has put into raising you. Show her that you think about her as much as she worries about you. Give her a gift that is a constant reminder of your love for her. Here are some ideas:
thoughtful, make them all the more unique by purchasing ones that allow you to leave a message with a voice recording on it. Whenever your mom reads the card or looks at the picture in the frame she can hear your sweet voice accompanying it every time.
Sponsor a child—This monthly donation to a charity such as Christian Children’s Fund of Canada (www.ccfcanada.ca) will not only be a reminder each Make the traditional month of the difference unique—While picture that has been made in her frames and greeting cards are name, but she will also
receive a letter and photo of her sponsored child so she can learn about the needs of those in other countries. This gift shows her that she has raised you to follow her example of responsibility and compassion. Purchase a magazine subscription—Select a magazine that matches your mom’s interests and order a full year’s subscription. Each month when she receives her gift, she will remember how much you love her. This will also remind her to take some time to relax and indulge her interests each month.
Improving your Vision will improve your Life

- CERTIFIED COSMETICIAN
Reduce Fine Lines & Wrinkles What to do in your 20s, 30s, 40s 50s and 60s to delay and reduce obvious signs of aging. "Always sun protection, sun protection," says Patricia Clare, National Training Manager for Neostrata, about preventing fine lines and wrinkles. SPF is the first line of defense. But after that... Your 20s are all about hydrating and balancing your skin. Good hydration, especially for dry complexions, keeps skin supple and resistant to wrinkles longer. If you've got shine issues, do not skip moisturizer. Instead, use something like Oil-Free Moisture Infusion Lotion ($29), then apply OilFree Matifying Fluid ($32), which is clinically proven to provide six shinefree hours (Clare calls it "Sham-Wow for the face") Your 30s are all about radiance. "This is when you start to see your skin looking tired for the first time," says Clare. Try the Skin Resurfacing Duo ($73) to Exfoliate away dead skin cells, which are now slower to leave on their own. Neostrata Skin Brightener ($73) is a good before-moisturizer Addition, too. It's 20% concentration of L-Ascorbic acid not only reduces mild Pigmentation and brightens the skin, it helps maintain Elasticity, which staves off fine lines and wrinkles. Your 40s, however, are the first kick for Anti-wrinkle skincare. "This is when we really see women coming to the counter for help," observes Clare. "Now it's time for Instant Anti-Wrinkle Concentrate ($38) or the Wrinkle Repair line." When it launched in 2006, Neostrata Wrinkle Repair ($62) caused a stir; its clinical study rated it 11 times more effective than the leading ground-breaking competitor at the time. "It's for the woman who wants something for face, neck and eye contour. I got so many before-andafter photos in my e-mail inbox that we decided to do a contest on the web. People were like, "Oh my God, look at my face - and look at my face now!" Wrinkle Repair now includes Neostrata Daytime Wrinkle Repair SPF 15 ($69)
Group effort Later this month, 30 Acting 12 students will stage All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. The play will be shown at Centre Stage Theatre May 10 and 11.
Your 50s is when the cycle goes into repair, trying to fix what we didn't earlier. And according to Clare, "it also circles back to hydration to make sure we're keeping skin supple." Handy for hydration boosts are Moisture Rescue Sheet Masks ($40/8 masks), moisture-infused fabric that delivers intense doses of hyaluronic acid. The Neostrata All-in-One Night Serum ($84) is popular with the 50s-and-better group. "As we age, skin gets thinner and we lose elasticity, so pores start looking bigger." says Clare. Your 60s bring more of the same, really - it's about maintaining a stepped up regimen, including SPF and extra hydration. "There's a big difference between aging skin that looks dry and crepey, and skin that's, yes, aging, but really supple." says Clare.
Play will focus on simple truths

Students in the Acting 12 class at Summerland Secondary School will stage a play based on an essay about simple truths in life. The play, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, is based on Robert Fulghum’s short essay of the same name. The essay, along with Fulghum’s other writings, cover observations about everyday life.
Heather Ayris, drama teacher at the school, said the play follows several characters from Kindergarten to old age. “This is a play I’ve wanted to do for a while,” she said. “The writing is absolutely lovely. It’s one of the best-written scripts I’ve seen in a long time.” The play has a large cast with 30 students involved. Ayris said this play is the last time the stu-

Ohmenzetter named president of camp
Newel posts inspire artists Several Summerland artists have made old newel post caps headed for the trash into creative artwork. The Renewal Post exhibit was organized as one of the Summerland Community Arts Council’s Earth Week events. Artists were given a round post end and told to use it as a starting point for creative artwork. The entries include some faces, a peach, an octopus among others. The posts, on display at the former Indulgences building, 10122 Main St., are available through a silent auction. Bids start at $35. Bids can be placed at the Summerland Community Arts Centre, 9533 Main St., Monday to Friday from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Bidding closes on May 18 at 4 p.m.

Setting out artwork Susan Gibbs of the Summerland Community Arts Council arranges some of the pieces on display in the Trash to Treasure exhibit.
Carla Ohmenzetter was elected by acclamation as the new president of the Agur Lake Camp Society at its annual meeting in Penticton on April 17. She replaces Barb Hatton, retiring president, who has been a board member since 2006. Ohmenzetter is involved in community activities and has served on the Summerland municipal council. Agur Lake Camp is a wilderness camp in the mountains 20 kilometres west of Summerland. Its design makes it accessible for special needs families.

Volunteers get ready for two races How time flies when you are having fun! It amazes me that this will be my 24th opportunity to work with the awesome volunteers and participants in the Giants Head Run and Man of Steel Triathlon. It takes one volunteer for every eight participants in our races and we have almost 100 volunteers for our races. These volunteers cover registration, package pick up, tim-
ing, results and road traffic marshaling. We couldn’t organize a race this huge without volunteer help, so thank you. Speaking about volunteers, we should recognize the Action Festival Committee. What an incredible group of people who are planning throughout the year for the festival that has happened on the first Saturday weekend of June for the past 30 years.
LEISURE TIMES
Brenda Ingram In 30 years the committee has changed members and each year this brings new
ideas. Check out www. summerlandactionfestival.com for the great line up of activities. A parade, live entertainment, dance, slo-pitch tourney, fishing derby, Giants Head Run and Man of Steel Triathlon are just a few of the activities. In 30 years imagine the changes that have happened with the Giants Head Run and Man of Steel Triathlon.
Running shoes, bikes and bathing suits have changed. But the event and routes haven’t changed and this makes it something that everyone can accomplish. The races are as competitive as you want to make them and first time participants/families of all ages are welcome. Every race participant is eligible for the $1,500 of draw prizes, and medals are given to the top three finishers in each of the
race categories. Commemorative shirts are given to each race participant and if you’d like to stroll through our memory lane of past shirts, check the lobby at the Aquatic Centre later this month. You may have more of these shirts than you remember. Giants Head Run and Man of Steel Triathlon is scheduled for Saturday, June 2 and you can register in person at the Aquatic Centre or on-
line at www.runningroom.com Register before May 25 to get the reduced early fees. Also a big thank you to all the volunteers for Earth Day and the Rick Hansen Relay Summerland residents you’re the best. Brenda Ingram is the Programs and Facilities Manager for the District of Summerland and proud to be a longtime resident of this great community.

Sponsors support local soccer players Assistance helps with tournament expenses The Penticton Pinnacles U17 Showcase Team received support from player sponsors recently. The team is a South Okanagan Youth Soccer Association District competitive team that plays in the Thompson Okanagan
Youth Soccer League and travels to many different tournaments including various college showcase tournaments. The team travelled to Phoenix, Arizona in early April. Players will travel to to Redmond, Washington in May where they will compete in the Showcase of Champions Tournament. Later in the season
they will travel to Calgary, Chilliwack and Spokane as well as Aldergrove for the 2012 Provincial Championships. The funds raised through sponsorship will help the boys and their families cover the costs of travel.
Henry Paynter from Westbank, British Columbia and a long-time member of the Summerland Badminton Club has just recently competed in the 96th All England Senior Open Badminton Championships 2012 where he won the 60+ Men’s Singles.

Hearing damage has lasting effects
Riding
Carla McLeod Special to the Review
Stephanie Antonick on her horse Title Page took part in the third annual Spring Discovery Dressage and Jumper Show at the Summerland Rodeo Grounds on the weekend.
The Quest Society of Summerland is working to inform Summerlanders about hearing loss and its prevention during Speech and Hearing Awareness Month. Throughout May, posters and bright yellow “ears” will be scattered at businesses in the downtown area and along Highway 97. One in four Canadians has a speech, language or hearing problem. In the winter months, up to 20 per cent of children in elementary school will have some level of temporary hearing loss from an ear infection. Parts of the middle ear are infected and swollen and fluid is trapped behind the eardrum. This causes pain and is commonly called earache. The ear has three parts: the outer, middle and inner ear.
The outer ear is the visible part and an opening which is the start of the ear canal. The middle ear contains the canal leading down to the eardrum and three small bones. Airwaves travel down the canal and set the eardrum vibrating. This causes the three bones to vibrate. These vibrations then travel to the inner ear. The inner ear transfers these vibrations to the cochlea, a snail-shaped body suspended in fluid. The vibrating becomes an impulse for the auditory nerve. The brain interprets these impulses as sounds. When the noise is too loud, it begins to damage the nerve endings in the inner ear. Prolonged exposure to loud noise destroys nerve endings. As the number of nerve endings decreases, so does the
hearing. There is no way to restore life to damaged nerve endings. The damage is permanent. The longer one is exposed to loud noises the more damaging it becomes. Also, the closer one is to the source of intense noise the more damaging it is. People differ in their sensitivity to noise. Noise can damage hearing if one is at arm’s length and must shout to be heard. If noise is hurting the ears, the ears may ring and there may be difficulty hearing for several hours after exposure. On average, people with hearing loss wait 10 years before doing anything about it. A hearing test is usually free and is painless. A hearing aid can allow people with hearing loss to enjoy conversations and music once again.
Summerlanders win at music and speech festival Students perform at highlights concert in Penticton The Penticton Kiwanis Music, Dance and Speech Arts Festival celebrated another successful year with its annual Music and Speech Arts Highlights Concert at the Penticton Alliance Church on Friday April 20.
