Bylaw will allow electric vehicles by John Arendt

Small electric vehicles will soon be allowed on the roads in Summerland. On May 27, council gave first three readings to a bylaw allowing the lowspeed vehicles on municipal roads. The bylaw allows the vehicles on any road in the municipality with a speed limit of

no more than 50 kilometres an hour. All municipal roads have a speed limit of 50 kilometres an hour unless otherwise posted. The sole exception in Summerland is Highway 97. The concept of electric vehicles has been considered for many years. “This has been going

around the table since the early 2000s,” Coun. Bruce Hallquist said at the meeting. “It’s time to get on with it.” Hallquist has long advocated allowing the small vehicles. In the municipality’s Master Transportation Plan from 2007, electric vehicles are mentioned. See INTEREST Page 2

After hearing from hundreds of Summerlanders about the direction of growth in the community, consultants presented a choice of three scenarios for the municipality’s urban growth plan. The three options are a tight and dense core development, a node and corridor model and hillside development, “We feel we have three viable options,” said municipal planner Ian McIntosh. The compact development model has been promoted earlier, especially by Mayor Janice Perrino who has advocated concentrating development within a 15-minute walk from the downtown core. However, this model would also require the removal of around 45 hectares from the Agricultural Land Reserve, Jeremy Murphy, a consultant with Sustainability Solutions Group said. The hillside development model is closest to Summerland’s existing growth pattern. While it does not require the removal of agricultural land, it results in a more spread out community. The node and corridor model puts development around existing transportation corridors. Working with this model would require the removal of around 80 hectares of land from the Agricultural Land Reserve. McIntosh said the goal for the first phase of the consultation process was to hear from 1,000 residents. So far, between 750 and 1,100 have responded, either at open house sessions or completing surveys. “I am more than thrilled with that number,” he said. He said 309 growth surveys were submitted. On Friday, the consultants met with municipal council in the afternoon and with the public in the evening to present the three options. Consultants were also present at Action Festival to discuss the options and gather further input. Further information on the growth options and the urban growth plan can be found at futuresummerland.com.

“Electric carts present an opportunity to expand the breadth of transportation options available to Summerland residents while creating a sustainable alternative to automobile travel,” the plan says. “Electric carts provide triple bottom-line benefits to both the user and the District. Carts address sustainability objectives by producing zero emissions, while improving transportation equity by providing an affordable option for lower income residents and increasing mobility for seniors.” Coun. Martin Van Alphen said the vehicles are designed for in-town use and can be insured for use on the roads. “I think they’re a wonderful addition to our community,” he said. Mayor Janice Perrino said the smaller vehicles

could be used for in-town municipal work in the future, although at present the municipality has not made decisions to replace any of its existing fleet with smaller electric vehicles. This bylaw represents the second green transportation initiative this year. Earlier, the municipality set up three charging stations downtown for electric vehicles. Municipal planner and climate action coordinator Julie McGuire said there has been interest in electric vehicles. A request had earlier been made for a bylaw allowing small electric vehicles. McGuire said this request was from someone interested in purchasing and operating such a vehicle. The final reading of the bylaw is expected at the next municipal council meeting on June 10.

the youth of the community. Existing funding commitments will continue for at least one more year. The assets, including the property which is owned by the society, will be liquidated.

The money will then be put into a legacy fund, which will be used to provide funding as long as possible. “We’re through with the retail, but we’re not through with the community,” Hallquist said.

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Summer Clearout Scam Artists While they are a problem throughout the year, the bright days of summer are a favourite time for Scam Artists to ply a particular scam of their trade. They take advantage of the fact that in summer many people advertise items for sale on the Internet. They respond with interest to the ad (although sometimes it clearly looks and sounds like a premade, standard response). The trick in the response is to suggest that they live far away, will buy the item sight unseen, need the item shipped to them at some point but are prepared to send you a much bigger amount than you are asking for. The balance is usually stated to cover shipping the item. What they would then like you to do is to send a cheque for the difference to the "shipper". Trust me on this one folks, the shipper doesn't really exist, the deal doesn't really exist AND the only cheque that's any good is the one you send them! The best way to protect yourself against these people is to have a very healthy scepticism for any deal that sounds too good to be true. The simple fact is, if it sonds too good to be true, it usually is!

our pick

A land use tradeoff No matter which option is selected for the municipality’s urban growth plan, it will involve some compromises. The growth strategy will set out how future growth is to be organized in Summerland. Of the three scenarios which have been proposed, two would involve removing land from the Agricultural Land Reserve in order to allow for development. For the compact development scenario, around 45 hectares near the existing town core would have to come out of the land reserve in order to accommodate future growth without sprawl. Such a suggestion will be met with resistance from some within the agricultural community. If agriculture is important, then by extension it is important to have land set aside for farming. At the same time, it is important to remember that there are portions of land close to town within the Agricultural Land Reserve which have not been farmed for decades. Developing such properties would not change the amount of land actively farmed in Summerland. Conversely, the hillside development scenario, which does not involve the removal of any land from the Agricultural Land Reserve, has its own set of challenges. This scenario, similar to Summerland’s existing pattern of growth, results in a spread out community. The benefits of a compact, walkable community are reduced with such a plan. A third option, which puts development along existing corridors, would require the removal of around 80 hectares of agricultural land. The question which arises during this planning process is the same question which arises any time land use issues are on the table: How can land use decisions meet the needs of both the urban and agricultural segments of the community? There is no easy answer.

Once again the Summerland Action Festival drew thousands of visitors to the community for a weekend of activity and entertainment. Organizers of the festival spend a year in preparation for the three-day event. The results of their efforts were evident throughout the weekend. While the festival is enjoyable, it also yields economic benefits as a result of the many visitors to our community.

Enbridge pipeline isn’t dead yet VICTORIA – One of Premier Christy Clark’s first tasks of the new term will be to resume trade talks with Alberta and Saskatchewan. Several daunting tasks await. Clark must repair relations with Alberta Premier Alison Redford after B.C.’s theatrics over oil pipelines before the election, and prepare for the results of a federal environ- Tom Fletcher mental review of the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal in the fall. Some people were surprised on Friday when the B.C. government released its final written submission to the federal environmental review panel on Northern Gateway. It was widely interpreted as B.C.’s outright rejection of the project, but it’s not as simple as that. Clark and B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake signalled several times before the election that they were not getting the answers they wanted from Enbridge. But they stuck to the principle that the hearings must be completed. The NDP repeated for months that the B.C. Liberal government had forfeited its own review and handed jurisdiction over the environmental assessment to Ottawa. In fact, a pipeline that runs across two provinces is by definition a matter of federal juris-

diction. B.C. could have held its own parallel set of hearings, which was the NDP’s stated preference, but in no circumstance does the province have a veto. And both the B.C. Liberal government and Enbridge were careful to leave the door open for further talks. A closer reading of their comments shows that the key difference at this stage is one of timing. “The panel must determine if it is appropriate to grant a certificate for the project as currently proposed on the basis of a promise to do more study and planning after the certificate is granted,” Lake said. “Our government does not believe that a certificate should be granted before these important questions are answered.” According to Enbridge executive Janet Holder, those important questions can’t all be answered until the hearings are over. The company maintains that every river crossing and spill response plan can’t be done in detail during the two-year hearings. B.C.’s final submission runs to nearly 100 pages. It goes into detail on the inconsistencies and unanswered questions on such vital topics as whether diluted bitumen can sink in water. In short, the province argues that it can sink if the oil is in fresh water, or if it is exposed to weathering so lighter fractions evaporate, or if it is mixed with sediments that increase its

density. These are pertinent conditions if heavy oil were to leak into a river in springtime, when water runs fast and cold and brown with sediment. Then there are the obstacles presented by responding to a spill in remote wilderness and heavy snow. Given both provincial and aboriginal opposition in B.C., the Enbridge pipeline is unlikely to be imposed, and last week Conservative cabinet minister James Moore clearly ruled that out. The B.C. government has consistently maintained that the current project does not meet Clark’s often-repeated five conditions, including the vaguely defined “fair share” of revenues, and Moore said the federal government agrees with those conditions. The B.C. government has to face some other uncomfortable realities as well. If heavy oil pipelines are such a risk, how does B.C. manage the one that has stretched across remote and populated areas for 60 years? Does the government take a stand against new pipelines, and then watch as rail cars full of heavy oil cross those same rivers? No permit is required for that, and in fact there are more hazardous materials than oil moving by rail and road across the province today.

culls

Over the last month, conservation officers have been called to bear complaints in Summerland. As a result, two problem bears were destroyed. Encounters with bears and other wildlife are part of living in the Okanagan Valley, which has long been a bear habitat. However, there are ways to reduce the risk of an unpleasant encounter. If the items which attract bears are not easy for them to access, the bears will not think of people and human settlements as places to go for food.

The Early years

www.summerlandreview.com 5

Misunderstanding about grant request Dear Editor: Your front page article, ‘Funding requests rejected’ (May 30), implies the Summerland Recreation Society (operator of the Lakeshore Racquets Club) approached the municipal council with cap in hand to ask for money to upgrade its parking lot. This is an inaccurate perception. Firstly, the society’s request for funding wasn’t specifically to repair our pot-holed filled parking lot but rather to help us maintain and upgrade the entire Lakeshore Racquets Club grounds and facility. This has been necessitated by a nearly trebling in the club’s municipal property taxes over the past seven years, from $7,200 in 2006 to $19,700 this year. Property tax now accounts for 54 per cent of the club’s total annual expenditure. Secondly, it was District of Summerland

staff who suggested and arranged for us to present to council members. We accepted the invitation so the mayor and council could better appreciate the role the society plays within the wider Summerland community. The Lakeshore Racquets Club grounds are essentially viewed by the public as an extension of the lakeshore public park system. In fact, the grounds are not municipal but are Crown lands that have been leased to the club since 1976. The popular lakeshore footpath runs straight through the Racquets Club’s property, and all the park land around it is maintained by volunteer club members. The society also keeps its parking lot open for public use. At the height of the summer, many people choose to leave their cars

in the shade of the club’s parking lot while spending their day at Rotary Beach, which does not have sufficient parking on its own. The society has always made the club’s tennis and squash courts available for public use on a walk-on basis. We also make our facilities and coaches available to schools, summer camps and the District of Summerland itself to deliver programming, phys ed classes and extra curricular activities for youth. In denying our application for grant in aid, we feel council has not fully understood or appreciated the Summerland Recreation Society’s larger community service role.

Since January 2010, our Family Support Worker has been in Summerland on Tuesday mornings thanks to the generosity of the Ministry of Children

and Families staff who provided their board room. We are pleased to be invited to the Resource Centre on Tuesday mornings (except the second Tuesday of each month) 10 a.m. to noon to provide both family education and support and peer support for persons who have a mental illness.

The month of June is named for Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage, so this seems like a good time to feature a wedding. William “Scotty” Ritchie arrived from Scotland in 1926, found employment with the Campbells and also found his soul mate. He married Florence Campbell in 1929. They made their home in Summerland, raised a family and enjoyed a long and happy life together. If you’re “tying the knot” this month, we also wish you a long and happy life together… and may Juno give you cloudless skies on your special day.

Accountability lacking in government Dear Editor: The cultures that have been allowed to develop in our senate and our federal and provincial legislatures are the results of a rapid deterioration of our colonial institutions: Harper’s decision to prorogue the government of the day, not once but twice, for no other reason than because he could not have his way, was

one of the earlier tell tales: In 2008 to avoid a non-confidence vote, and again in 2009 to suspend Parliament for three months, to dodge an ongoing investigation into the Afghan detainees affair. When Bev Oda was found to have lied in Parliament, she should have been expelled promptly.

As the result of Harper’s stalling, the government instead lost a motion of confidence and was found in contempt of Parliament, putting Canada on the front pages of the global media. Since then Harper has used every opportunity to demonstrate his level of contempt for the people, our federal Parliament, and the

Queen. Harper has appointed a total of 58 people to a Senate he insisted was going to be elected, and the spending of billions of dollars without debate, zero transparency and no accountability have become the new norms. Traditionally a budget is a separate bill, outlining in some detail the government’s spending for

the year. But Harper, in an outrageous display of contempt, packaged the budget into two bills numbers C-38 (the Jobs, Growth and Long-Term Prosperity Act) and C-45 (the Jobs and Growth Act), and rammed them through Parliament with virtually no debate. Those two bills included changes to more than 120 laws

Low price charged for festival ride Dear Editor: I attended Action Fest with my two granddaughters on Friday night and Saturday afternoon. I want to express my thanks to the Summerland ATV Club who operated the kiddies train. They charged only one ticket for a long ride around the park, with a few extra turns. The kids absolutely loved it. They were all smiling and laughing and honking the horns and ringing the bells on their own

little train car. The attendants even let a group of Grade 7s fill up the train for a ride and that was a huge hit. Many thanks to the warm and friendly people who were driving the train and taking tickets. It was the only activity or food item that asked for only one ticket. Thank you again, Summerland ATV Club. Your volunteer efforts were greatly appreciated! Esther Osborne Summerland

and regulations, and radically changed the way governments function in Canada. Today nobody can be held accountable for anything by anybody. That includes the premiers, our Prime Minister and our supreme courts. To abolish the senate would only serve as a distraction. The Queen is no longer an effective

head of state, and the time has come to sever our colonial ties. Then we can finally write our own constitution, and become a sovereign democratic society where the people control the politicians and the courts enforce the laws instead of re-writing them. Andy Thomsen Summerland

Action Festival was appreciated

Horse sense

Horses and riders from Red Barn Ranch were part of the Action Festival Parade on Saturday morning.

Dear Editor: Action Fest has come and gone for another year. It was a great weekend, in spite of the cooler weather. The tribute bands as well as the other musical talent were fun and enjoyed by all ages. The activities for the children seemed to be well received. I know my grandchildren are looking forward to next year

already. It was nice to see the support of Summerlanders and visitors. Thanks to the committee of volunteers for their hard work and to all the businesses that support this event with their generous donations so that this wonderful weekend can take place each year. Rona Taylor Summerland

We kept slowly meandering along this narrow, winding road enjoying the expectation of what was around the next curve or corner. As we came around yet another curve, the “Wow Factor” kicked in - I literally involuntarily gasped, “wow” at the sight. The sun, the view, the setting, the building — a feast for the eyes. The unexpected surprises continued when we discovered there is a bistro attached to the win-

ery. Mobility issues dictate our inability to use stairs, or to walk to the patio from the parking area. Many thanks to the wonderful Bonita’s folk who left no stone unturned in their efforts to accommodate us in reaching the patio where we enjoyed a meal to titillate the taste buds. Summerlanders, go out and discover your neighbourhood — it will amaze and delight you. Loretta and Ross Krauter Summerland

Attraction a jewel in our backyard Dear Editor: It has long been known that we often know more about other areas than we do about our home area. This fact was brought home to us a week ago when we had the good fortune to discover a veritable “jewel in our backyard”, so to speak.

We were sent to Bonitas Winery to pick up some information. We were told Bonitas was located “off the beaten path”, on a narrow, winding road, but that it was well marked with directional signs. It was indeed so situated but what a

wonderful voyage of discovery in reaching our destination. It was a gorgeous sunny day and the drive itself was food for the soul. At each turn in the road there was a different view — from up close orchards to distant vistas of Okanagan Lake.

Gun amnesty held in June by John Arendt

Summerlanders with unwanted firearms can turn them over to police this month during a province-wide gun amnesty. The amnesty began on June 1 and continues to June 30. During this time, residents can dispose of unwanted documented or undocumented firearms, weapons and ammunition that have not been used in a criminal offence. “We as police officers know full well the effects and impacts of having firearms inside homes, particularly if they are unsecured,” said Deputy Commissioner Craig Callens, commanding officer of the RCMP in B.C. “Turning in unwanted firearms will eliminate the risks these weapons pose.” “This amnesty is a chance to take guns and ammunition out of homes and off our streets, and make

our province safer for everyone. It’s an important partnership between police and British Columbians as we work together to minimize needless and avoidable tragedies,” said Shirley Bond, Min-

ister of Justice and Attorney General. Cpl. Bruce Haley of the Summerland RCMP detachment said most of the weapons turned in locally are expected to come from those who have guns they no longer wish to use. “The amnesty protects them so they can lawfully turn them over to police,” he said. He added that the amnesty does not apply if the firearms

encounter. “We hope to grow that so one day you will, for example, be riding your bike down a trail and your phone will be able to buzz and let you know there was an animal sighting within that area in the last week and here is the information that you can use to minimize the chance you have a conflict with the animal,” said Frank Ritcey, provincial coordinator for WildSafeBC. A new mapping program, running under the title of WildSafeBC, is striving to reduce humanwildlife conflict through education, innovation and cooperation through a public website where animal encounters in urban settings can be tracked. Incidents of wildlife reported to the Conservation Officer Service can now be found online under the Wild-

life Alert Reporting Program on the website www.wildsafebc. com/WARP. With a few clicks, users can zoom in to any area of interest in the province and colour-coded icons of what animals that have been reported will show up, along with the nature of the conflict, the outcome and notes on how to manage the conflict to ensure your safety and whether it is garbage attractants or other issues. B.C. is the only province using the technology. Ritcey said that is because B.C. is the only one using a provincewide call centre, but he has seen interest from other groups internationally who want to use it. Currently the program is updated every week, but Zoe Kirk, WildSafeBC coordinator for the Regional District of Okanagan Similka-

meen, said that upto-the-minute info should be available within the month. The provincial call centre handles about 25,000 calls a year and of those 20-22,000 are bear-related calls. While that is still the focus on the website, in certain communities other animals such as cougars or deer are more of a concern. The WildSafeBC coordinators are encouraging people to go to the website and look at what wildlife is coming to your neighbourhood, why it is coming there and if you have questions to contact your local coordinator. With the rollout of the website are Facebook pages (www. facebook.com/ pages/WildsafebcRDOS) and eventually WildSafeBC would like to develop an application for up-tothe-minute cellphone updates.

Provincial conservation officers recently destroyed two bears in the Cartwright Mountain area after complaints from residents. The bears were shot and killed on May 24 and May 29. A third bear, in the Peach Orchard area, was destroyed in early May. Conservation officer Jim Beck said two of the three incidents were related to garbage. “We’re urging people not to put their garbage out the night before,” he said. Those who have their garbage left outside overnight are also providing an attractant to bears. Bears are drawn to the food smells in garbage, he said. “Once they start to associate garbage with people, they start to lose their fear of people,” Beck said. While bears which are no longer afraid of people are sometimes described as friendly, Beck said such bears are dangerous. Bears which have become used to people can be tranquilized, tagged and then relocated away from human settlement or they must be destroyed. Relocating bears is

not a common solution since the bears may eventually find their way back to human settlements. Bears emerge from hibernation in spring and descend to valley bottoms in search of food. From April to October, bears are reported in Okanagan communities. Beck said while the number of bear incidents in the region is around the same as in previous years, there have been more incidents in Summerland this spring. He said residents must take measures to control bear encounters. “The best solution is for people to store their attractants,” he said. In addition to keeping garbage cans in the house until the day of garbage pickup, Beck said the plastic bags should be tied tightly to control the odours. Garbage cans should also be washed out from time to time with a solution of bleach and disinfectant. Improper composting can also attract bears. Those who have walnut trees or fruit trees on their properties should clean up so the fallen nuts and fruit are not left on the ground. Those with a problem bear in the area should call toll-free 1-877-952-7277. If a bear is posing an immediate threat, call the RCMP.

Christina Rose Steele May 22, 2013

”We were going to have a baby, but we had an angel instead”, is what we explained to Christina’s siblings, but no words can explain the loss of our baby girl. It is with immense grief and sorrow that we announce the stillbirth of Christina Rose Steele, the day before she was expected to arrive safe and snuggled in our arms. She will be forever loved and missed by her heartbroken Mommy and Daddy, Meghan and Mike Steele and by a loving sister and two adoring brothers who couldn’t wait to hug baby- Brandyn, Faith and Bradley. Also, Grammie and Grampa, Mike and Jean Donnelly of Summerland, and Gramma Joy Dickson of Penticton. Many Aunts, Uncles, cousins and friends were awaiting Christina’s arrival. She was sadly predeceased by Nana, Amy MacKay who always took pleasure feeling baby’s kicks. It was such an exciting nine months of getting to know and love baby, with tummy hugs and songs, kicks and movements, ultrasounds to see and heartbeats to listen to…she will always be remembered. The family is thankful for the outpouring of love and support. A memorial service for Christina will be held at the Rosedale Funeral Chapel with Pastor Rick Gay officiating on Sunday, June 9, 2013 at 1pm.

The Summerland Secondary Track team had six athletes who participated in the provincial championships last weekend in Langley. The six qualified for the provincials as a result of finishing in the top three spots at the Senior Valley Championships which took place the week before. Summerland’s team consisted of Haven Dufty, Jaedyn Foley, Erin Detchkoff, Landon Brickenden, Megan Avery and Shannon Clarke. Hunter Dufty joined the squad and also attended the meet representing the Summerland Middle School. The meet began with the 4x100 metre relay team running in a particularly fast heat, finishing sixth, but they still achieved a personal best time in the event. The four Summerland girls in this event were Haven Dufty, Foley, Avery and Detchkoff. Despite being a few grades younger than their competition, the girls ran a great race but did not qualify for the final. Brickenden next competed in the Senior Boys long jump event and improved on his personal best jump by almost 20 centimetres. He also competed in the high jump event, jumped his personal best of 1.80 m, and ended up placing sixth out of 32 competitors.

Arm wrestling

Haven Dufty competed in the Senior Girls long jump later in the day and jumped three strong jumps, earning her a sixth place finish, again with 32 competitors vying for the win. On Saturday, she also competed in the 100 m hurdles, and the Senior Girls triple jump. With a second jump of 10.68 m in the triple jump, she earned a bronze medal and third place in the competition. Grade 8 Summerland Middle School athlete Hunter Dufty, represented her school well despite competing against Grade 11 and 12 students. She competed in the shot put on Friday, and the discus and high jump events on Saturday. The two events were running at the same time, and she had to run back and forth between them six times in the span of 45 minutes. Detchkoff, in Grade 11, finished off Summerland’s performances for the meet, with a great showing in the Senior Girls high jump competition. She ended up jumping a personal best of 1.50 m and placed eighth in the competition. Coaches Tom Brickenden and Chris Foley would like to congratulate the team on a great season this spring, and they are looking forward to next year with a strong group of veterans returning to the squad.

“Henry” Jan Brummelhuis

June 11, 1928 ~ May 28, 2013 The family of Henny “Henry” Jan Brummelhuis are sad to announce the passing of their beloved dad, grandfather and great grandfather. Henry was born in Haaksberhen, Holland in 1928. He married Diny in 1952 and they immigrated to Canada. Henry worked at several different jobs before finally settling down in Summerland, BC in 1962 as a butcher. They had three wonderful children, Tom, Anne and Dick. Henry retired in 1986 to enjoy golfing, fishing and gardening. He was predeceased by his wife Diny in 2006. After losing his wife, he was afflicted with dementia and spent the last five years in Summerland Seniors Village. He passed away peacefully on Tuesday May 28 at 2:00 in the afternoon. He was a happy person who enjoyed a good laugh and always had a smile on his face. He became an avid golfer and enjoyed his time on the golf course with his golfing buddies. He loved playing card games with his friends and grandchildren, and he had a great love of animals. He was predeceased by his wife Diny, infant son, his parents, two sisters, five brothers. He is survived by a brother and sister in Holland, three children, nine grandchildren, one great grandchild, and expecting another great grandchild in November. Prayers were held on Friday May 31, 2013, followed by Mass of Christian Burial on Saturday June 1, 2013 from Holy Child Catholic Church in Summerland with Father Ferdinan Nalitan Celebrant.

Jane Urbanovitch Peacefully, in her sleep, mom passed away on Saturday June 1st at the age of 89 in Summerland BC. Mom was born on her parent’s, Alexander and Lena Sparks, homestead in Morse Saskatchewan but was raised primarily in the North End of Winnipeg, the melting pot of the Prairies, a fact she was quite proud of. She was an accomplished cello and mandolin player with the various symphony orchestras in Winnipeg. She grew up in the robust times of the 30’s and the war years, loved to sing and dance the big band tunes and worked both at Eaton’s and as a cocktail waitress much to the chagrin of her father. In 1946 she met a tall dark and very persistent RCAF airman from Dauphin, marrying Peter and following him from one Department of Transport posting to the other across Canada and having six children along the way. The city girl moved from all the luxuries to a wood cabin without running water in Teslin Yukon, learning to cook on a wood stove, bake bread and be a pioneer. They met many people along the way and have friends across the nation after living in Whitehorse, Sioux Lookout, Winnipeg, Rivers, Armstrong, Neepawa and Dauphin before finally retiring to the Okanagan in the late 70’s. Mom was very community minded and started cub and scout troops in Armstrong, going on to leading cub packs in Neepawa and Dauphin for 25 years, retiring as District Cub Master and awarded the Boy Scout Medal of Honour. She petitioned the government and organized the immunization of school children in Armstrong during the polio epidemic in the mid 50’s. She was involved in curling and bonspiels and many community events and groups such as Lionels, Sunday school, etc. She was awarded the Opal Medal for her commitment to the Canadian MS society as well as the sacrifice she rendered in caring for her son Mark who suffered many years with this affliction. Mom was very interested in current events and hockey and could and would argue with the best on these subjects until the end. Many a hockey debate in our family included mom and her grandsons. All who knew her remember her as feisty and didn’t need to guess what she was really thinking about any subject being discussed. Mom was very proud of the accomplishments of all her family. Mom is survived by her sons, Peter (Pepper) and Michelle of Cawston BC, Timothy and Lois of Onanole MB, Bob and Iris of Summerland BC, Todd and Joanna of Kelowna BC and her daughter Jill and Jergen of Fort Saskatchewan AB. She has 12 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband Peter and son Mark. At the Grand Howl tonight, the Old Akela calls our DYB DYB DYB (do your best) and all the Wolf Cubs respond, we will DOB DOB DOB (do our best).

On June 9, 2013 Bob Chalmers is turning 90! Bob and his wife of 62 years have lived in Summerland since 1951. Bob started out wanting to be an aircraft engineer and even worked at a Boeing plant for a bit. However, tuberculosis intervened when he was a young adult, changing his life path in a number of ways. During his rather lengthy convalescence, he met a neighbour who was a teacher and began to think about teaching as a career. He especially liked the idea of having his summers off! During a hospital stay to have one lung removed, Bob met a lovely young nurse, who later became his wife! Talk about that cloud having a silver lining! Bob and his young wife, Helen, moved to Summerland in 1951 to take a teaching job at Summerland Secondary School, where he taught math until 1981. After Bob retired from classroom teaching, he tutored math students for another 25 years! Bob was also involved with the high school band. For about 25 years, he and Helen spent their May 5th wedding anniversary chaperoning the school band on band trips. Now, that’s dedication! He and Helen also accompanied a group of students to Expo 67 in Montreal! Bob loves jazz and used to invite interested groups of high school students to listen to Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong on his old 45s and LPs. Jazz lit up the weekends for Bob, too. When Friday rolled around, he’d head home, put on his jeans and sweatshirt, crank up the jazz, and wrestle with his boys, and whatever dogs were living with him at the time – Skipper, Sophie, Barney, Louie, Grady, or Becky! Bob also loves horses and spent a number of years driving out to Prairie Valley early in the morning, before school started, to feed and water his. He especially like snowy mornings when he got to “break trail”. He spent many pleasurable hours trail riding with his kids and with Chester Reinertson, a real cowboy! Bob and Helen have been involved in the United Church for many years and served in all sorts of volunteer roles there, as well as in lots of other volunteer capacities in the community. Having the summers off gave Bob and Helen the opportunity to travel, first with their three kids, and later in their little motorhome. The Yukon was a favourite destination and they travelled the Alaska Highway many times to visit their daughter, Joie and her family! They also got to know Idaho when middle son Bill and his family were living there, and when youngest son Dean moved to Chile with his family, off they went to visit, right after the big earthquake! Bob’s adventurous spirit is still alive and well – after living for 62 years in the Okanagan, he finally decided to try wearing sandals!

Happy 90th Birthday, Bob! You rock!

Cabinet unveiled Friday by Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark unveils her new cabinet lineup on Friday, preparing for a rare summer session of the B.C. legislature. With the results of the May 14 election becoming official on Wednesday, MLAs

and cabinet ministers are expected to be sworn in early next week in Victoria. Clark promised the cabinet will include a new ministry responsible for natural gas development, in addition to the traditional energy and mines ministry. Clark is also expected to announce

this week where she will seek her own seat, after being defeated by the NDP in Vancouver-Point Grey. The opposition will be heavily focused on the government’s promised to balance the budget by keeping the increase in overall spending below one per cent this year.

New code governs wireless service fees by Jeff Nagel Black Press Consumer advocates are applauding a new wireless code of conduct that lets Canadians cancel mobile phone contracts without penalty after two years and sets caps on data roaming charges. The new code, unveiled Monday by federal regulators, applies on new contracts for mobile phones and other devices starting Dec. 2. Besides the ability to escape three-year contracts without fees after two years, the new CRTC rules cap data overage fees at $50 a month and national and international data roaming fees at $100 a month, unless the user explicitly wants to use more. “Canadians may finally now be freed of the worst of cellphone bill shock,” Public Interest Advocacy Centre executive director John Lawford said. “We hope that consumers will now be able to enjoy their wireless service fully and without fear.” He said the code should reduce the mobile device costs

of many users. “The wireless code will contribute to a more dynamic marketplace by making it possible for Canadians to discuss their needs with service providers at least every two years,” CRTC chair JeanPierre Blais said.

Musician to perform at Good Omens This Friday, June 7, Good Omens Coffeehouse on Kelly Ave is proud to present acoustic singer-songwriter Lynn Jackson who is touring in support of her sixth studio album. Seating is limited. This is a licensed event. 250494-3200 An authenticity runs through Canadian singer-songwriter Jackson’s music that reflects a deep commitment to telling stories that ring true with listeners. Combine this with her gentle voice, rich instrumentation

ARTS PALETTE

David Finnis and sweet melodies and you get a sound that is roots-Americana with a hint of folk-pop. On her sixth studio album, “Down in the Dust” (Busted

Flat Records, 2012,) Jackson takes her cues from Lucinda Williams, Ani Difranco and Tom Waits, using her ‘whiskey and honey’ voice to mix her timeless melodies while spinning yarns about love, loss and everyday characters. Her music has drawn comparisons to Alison Krauss, Shelby Lynne and Kathleen Edwards. As audiences warm to her soulful storytelling style, Jackson is solidifying her place as one of the most original and

compelling voices on the Canadian folk music scene. Do you want to be an artist-in-residence at the Summerland Art Gallery? The Summerland Community Arts Council is currently taking proposals for this position. The successful candidate is given a large studio space rent-free for a year.

Cadets to hold ceremonial review

Members of the Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron 902 Summerland have been busy this past year with gliding, range, ground school, survival week-ends, weekly classes and physical fitness events. In addition, the cadets have been involved in community service including Remembrance Day, Legion poppy sales, the V.E. Day cemetery candle lighting ceremonies, Canada Day, the Fall Fair and Action Fest parades, Festival of Lights, Summerland Food Bank, Legion cleanup as well as Adopt a Road on Highway 97. The current year also included connecting on ham radio

communication with Cmdr. Chris Hadfield at the International Space Station and winning the Okanagan Wing Survival Competition, bringing the trophy back home again. This year’s citizenship tour was spent in the Vancouver area where cadets went to the Vancouver Police Station, hiked at Lynn Canyon, visited to Granville Island and China Town and learned urban orientation skills. One day was spent helping prepare, serve and clean up at an Outreach Centre, giving the cadets a new view of our world. There was an amazing tour through the Vancouver International Air-

port where sitting in the First Class section of a airplane brought much excitement. Two cadets have completed the criteria for the Gold Duke of Edinburgh Medal. Summer camps coming up include marksmanship, drill and ceremony instructor, power pilot, glider instructor, survival and general training. These camps will take the cadets to the Victoria area, Vernon and Comox bases. The annual ceremonial review will be held Saturday. June 15 at 12:45 p.m. at the Summerland Arena. The public is invited. The new year starts in September. All youth aged 12 to 18 are welcome to attend.
