Summerland’s proposed Urban Growth Plan received strong opposition at a public hearing on Monday evening. The hearing in the Arena Banquet Room drew a packed house as more than 40 people voiced their concerns about the plan. Others had earlier sent written submissions, the majority in opposition to the proposal. The Urban Growth Plan calls for the removal of 80.34 hectares of land within the Agricultural Land Reserve close to the core of the community. In exchange, 91.7 hectares in the Prairie Valley area would be added to the land reserve. “There is no need to remove prime ALR land,” said Kimberly Westgate. “There is land outside the ALR which could be developed.” She added that hill-

sides, not valley bottom land, should be developed. Don Gayton, a professional agrologist, said the need for additional growth is overstated. He said the average selling time of a house in Summerland is around 130 days, while in the rest of the Okanagan Valley, the selling time is 90 days. The vacancy rates for homes and condominium units in Summerland are much higher than the provincial average, he added. John Barber said a referendum is needed before adopting the proposed growth plan. “I feel there is more to lose than to gain,” he added. Keith Carlson, chief executive officer of the Okanagan Plant Improvement Corporation, said agriculture is an important part of the community. Over the years, fruit varieties from Summerland have gained a strong reputation worldwide. “Houses can be built anywhere; farm land is valuable,” he said. See EXCHANGE Page 3

Petition tops 2,600 signatures A petition opposed to the proposed Urban Growth Plan received more than 2,600 names, including 1,200 from Summerland residents. The petition was presented to municipal council at the public hearing on Monday evening. Erin Carlson, organizer of the Stop the Swap campaign, said the level of opposition to the proposed land exchange

must be taken seriously. “It will be very embarrassing for Summerland if this goes through,” she said of the proposed land exchange. The proposed growth plan calls for the removal of around 80 hectares of land from the Agricultural Land Reserve near the core of the community. In exchange, around 90 hectares in the Prairie Valley area will be added to the

land reserve. Since the plan was presented in early September, a significant level of opposition has been shown. “I haven’t even knocked on a single door to get any of those signatures,” Carlson said. From April to November, 2013, numerous open houses, workshops and meetings were held to gather input for the

proposed growth plan. In addition, information was mailed out to every home in the community. Around 1,300 people participated in the various consultation sessions. Municipal officials have stated that the plan is the most extensive public exercise held in Summerland. However, Carlson said the plan which was presented does not reflect the

wishes of the public. “We’ve been misrepresented,” she said. “This isn’t what the people supported.” The petition, along with comments and written submissions presented to municipal council, will be considered as municipal council makes a decision on the second and third readings of the growth plan bylaw on March 10.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

The Wills, Estates and Succession Act You may have heard in the news that BC is changing the law regarding Wills, Estates and Probate. After a very long time-consuming process, lawmakers in BC have created the Act referred to above. It is a new and improved consolidation of the various statutes that dealt with this area of law previously. The Act is scheduled to come into force on March 31, 2014. Most people’s existing wills are not affected by the changes in legislation as the lawmakers concentrated more on updating Estate and Probate procedures. That is not to say that there are not any changes however. One very important change is with respect to how joint ownership of real property and bank accounts is dealt with in the event that both joint owners pass away at the same time. In the rare circumstance where that occurs and it cannot be determined who passed away first, a very different distribution of the joint asset will occur from what had been the law previously. It is always a good idea to review your will on a regular basis. This new legislation is a very good reason to review your existing will and estate plan. A Lawyer specializing in Wills and Estates can answer any questions you might have.

Appeal court upholds roadside suspensions by Tom Fletcher Black Press

Food bank support

VICTORIA – B.C. police will continue to impose 90-day driving suspensions and seize vehicles of drivers who fail a breath alcohol test, after a constitutional challenge was turned away Monday by the B.C. Court of Appeal. “It’s a matter of public safety on our roads, and so we’re carrying on with the immediate roadside prohibition program,” Attorney General Suzanne Anton said Monday. The law was challenged by six drivers who had either blown a “fail” reading on a roadside blood alcohol screening device, or refused to blow. The court found that the roadside suspensions do not supplant the Criminal Code, where police still have the option of laying charges. “The legislation does not create a criminal or quasi-criminal proceeding, nor does it lead to true penal consequences” when it allows licence suspensions, penalties and impound fees, three appeal court justices agreed. The “immediate roadside prohibition” program took effect in 2010, replacing most impaired driving charges with

administrative penalties, including a three-day driving ban and a $200 administrative fee for those who register between 0.05 and 0.08, if the police officer has reason to believe the driver is impaired.

For those who blow in the “impaired” range of 0.08 or higher, police have the option of imposing a 90-day driving ban, a $500 penalty and impounding the vehicle for 30 days instead of laying a

charge. Towing and impounding a vehicle can result in a $700 bill, and a $1,400 mandatory “responsible driver program” may also be required before the driver’s licence is returned. After an initial

court challenge, the law was amended to require police to offer a second roadside test to anyone who fails, and to advise drivers they can appeal their suspension to the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles.

Studying science

Adam Samuel, left, and Ethan Sands, Grade 7 students at Summerland Middle School, examined the benefits of solar power in their science fair project. From their research, the cost of installing solar power for the community is an estimated $242 million, but the project could generate $200 million a year for the community. The exhibit was one of the numerous entries in the District Science Fair, at Summerland Secondary School, on Monday afternoon and evening.

Full house

The Arena Banquet Room was filled to capacity for the open house on the proposed Urban Growth Plan on Monday evening.

Exchange opposed Continued from Page 1

Dru Yates said the land exchange is not fair, since the land to be removed is of a much higher quality than the land to be added to the land reserve. “I see this as nothing more than a shell game being played with the Prairie Valley lands,” added Julie Sardinha. Barbara Thorburn said the recommendations from the growth report do not reflect the wishes of the public. “We need to have a deep, meaningful consultation about this issue,” she said. John Gordon, who farms close to the core of the community, said there are many vacant properties between his farm and the downtown area. He added that there are other opportunities for growth, without the need for

removing land from the land reserve. David Finnis said the agricultural land will be needed for food production in the future. He said a large-scale drought in California should show the importance of local food security. “We have a responsibility to the future to preserve this land.” George Brake said the growth plan makes sense in the short term, but is not a good long-term strategy. “In the future, we are going to need every bit of our prime agricultural land,” he said. “When you cannot eat, nothing else matters.” Supporting the proposed plan, Pam Killick, a farmer, said housing is needed. “We need to build homes in the downtown core to keep young people here,” she said. Don Hudgeon

said the growth plan as presented makes sense because it keeps development close to the existing services and utilities. He added that the plan reflects the comments from the public during the consultation process. “It’s the result of what the majority of interested people in Summerland wanted,” he said. “They are just doing what we asked them to do.” Chamber president Arlene Fenrich said consultation process was inclusive and comprehensive. She added that densification will help to create a more walkable community. Now that the public hearing has been completed, the second and third readings of the bylaw on the growth plan will be considered at the council meeting on Monday, March 10.

Council, land commission to consider growth plan Now that the public hearing on Summerland’s proposed Urban Growth Plan has been completed, the plan must come before municipal council and the Agricultural Land Commission. The plan, which would set the direction for future growth in Summerland, will be on the municipal council agenda for the March 10 meeting. In order to pass, the bylaw requires the support of a majority of full council, or four of the seven council members. Coun. Lloyd Christopherson and Coun. Bruce Hallquist, who

both own land in the area affected, will be absent for this discussion. Coun. Peter Waterman has voted against the resolution to receive the report and against the first reading of the bylaw. If the second and third readings of the bylaw receive support of at least four members of council, the plan will then go on to the Agricultural Land Commission, since it involves changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve in Summerland. The land commission can only respond to portions of the plan affecting agricultural land.

AN OPEN LETTER TO OUR MAYOR AND COUNCIL Mayor and Council: As decision time approaches, this is a gentle reminder that you were elected to serve the needs of the whole community and not a small pressure group. Most of you promised a “balanced, common sense approach to provide positive, fiscally responsible local government” along with a responsibility to ensure wise future growth planning. The proposed urban growth plan will fulfill much of your election platform by providing most of what the community has indicated as important. Development creates spin off opportunities and jobs within the community. Adequate housing at reasonable prices will be available. Creative neighborhood design by our planning department will ensure green space and parks, bicycle paths, walking trails – level and close to the downtown core. Summerland could become a jewel once again. There is great potential. All this will ultimately lead to families moving back and an economic viability for our municipality that will allow for the needed upgrades in our services, roads and recreation facilities that are inevitably going to depreciate. Having a designated area for future housing development will reduce the development pressure on agricultural land outside of the boundaries. Our new water and sewer facilities will accommodate this growth. Every successful endeavor requires a vision. It is important that each of you remember your campaign platform and personal philosophies, maintain your convictions, be true to yourselves and vote positively on the Urban Growth Proposal. The Committee for The Economic Survival of Summerland

EDITORIAL

our pick

A better way of planning Despite a lengthy public consultation process, the final discussion on Summerland’s proposed Urban Growth Plan took on much the same character as discussions on previous land use plans. For most of 2013, efforts were in place to ensure a high level of public input. In the end, around 1,300 people filled out surveys and participated in discussions, workshops and open houses on the plan. The numerous public sessions were set up to ensure the plan would represent the wishes of the community. However, when the report was received in early December, it was evident that there was a significant level of opposition to the proposed plan. A petition set up in opposition to the agricultural land exchange received 2,600 signatures, including 1,200 from Summerlanders. This level of opposition must not be ignored. Others spoke out at the public hearing to express their concerns about the proposed plan. Public comment is an important part of any land use plan and the comments raised on Monday should receive careful consideration. Any land use plan will affect the community for many years to come. Once an area has been developed, it is difficult if not impossible to return it to an undeveloped state. For this reason, extreme care must be taken with any plan involving land use. Along with the points which have been raised about the effects of the growth plan, one other question must be asked. What measures, if any, can be taken so future plans do not result in the same level of tension and divisiveness? Today and in the future, Summerland needs a plan which can be embraced by all, a plan which can unite and not divide our community. Fragmentation and polarization do not benefit any of us.

On Monday, students presented their science research at the District Science Fair at Summerland Secondary School. The best of these exhibits will go on to regional and possibly national competitions. Summerland has a strong tradition in science fair excellence and this year’s entries show the same high quality. The students deserve congratulations for their efforts.

Crown jewel on table in Cariboo VICTORIA – The New Prosperity mineral deposit near Williams Lake is described by the industry as one of the largest in the world, containing 5.3 billion pounds of copper and 13.3 million ounces of gold. The Harper government’s decision to reject open-pit mine development for a second time is seen by Tom Fletcher elected officials in the Cariboo region as a disaster. One of Quesnel’s sawmills is preparing to close for good, and I’ve been told there is more to come as the post-pine beetle era unfolds. Here in the B.C. capital, the decision is mainly viewed as a huge mistake. Taseko Mines is going to court to show that the federal panel used the wrong design when reviewing the company’s expensively revised plan. The province has permitted two successful mines that operate in the same area, one of which is run by Taseko. In Ottawa, this is a Supreme Court of Canada test case over who owns the land and the mineral wealth underneath. In traditional Canadian law, the province owns it. This was highlighted in the recent discussion between B.C. Premier Christy Clark and Alberta’s Alison Redford over royalties from oil. Six aboriginal commun-

ities make up the Tsilhqot’in Nation, which has a long and bitter history of resistance against the Crown. They almost won a declaration of title to 40,000 hectares known as the Nemiah Valley: forests, wild horses, minerals and all, in a 339-day trial that ended in 2007. Their case suffered a setback at the B.C. Court of Appeal, and is now before the highest court. Aboriginal rights have been established, but this would be the first clear title. Tsilhqot’in tribal chair Joe Alphonse was pleasantly surprised to see Taseko turned down again. He said the Tsilhqot’in National Government is releasing its own mining policies soon. “We welcome opportunities to look at projects that are environmentally sound and we need economic opportunities,” Alphonse told the Williams Lake Tribune. Somehow efforts to move mine waste rock from Teztan Biny (Fish Lake) to a sealed storage site two kilometres away are not enough to protect groundwater, although they are sufficient at the nearby Gibraltar and Mount Polley mines. And Alphonse makes it clear this mysterious environmental problem will be solved once he and his fellow chiefs have control of the resource. A Supreme Court of Canada ruling on aboriginal title is required to settle this. If some limited form of title

is at last defined for the treatyless majority of B.C., or at least Tsilhqot’in territory, the fate of the mine may become clear. Conventional wisdom on this is that the mining company didn’t try hard enough to establish a working relationship with the Tsilhqot’in. For his part, Taseko CEO Russell Hallbauer says the chiefs refused to meet with him, which isn’t surprising from a group that doesn’t recognize the B.C. forests ministry either. Here’s a sample of the volume of evidence that may determine the future of B.C. Archeological studies presented at trial describe “18 roasting and/or pit depressions” at Teztan Biny. It’s not clear if these were for seasonal food preparation or for pit houses, which would indicate a more permanent settlement at the lake. Nor is it clear whether these “cultural depressions” have been identified as being of Tsilhqot’in origin. Oral histories are also uncertain. Tsilhqot’in witnesses testified that Teztan Biny has been used in the 20th century as a hunting and fishing camp. The mine was rejected due to ill-defined cultural as well as environmental concerns. B.C. residents could finally see some answers this year. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @ tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca

culls

Last week, numerous activities and initiatives were held in conjunction with Summerland BullyFree’s pink shirt promotion. For years, efforts have been made to address the problem of bullying, but it continues, and it is not just confined to students. If Summerland wishes to develop a reputation as a bullyfree community, it is essential that discussions and dialogues follow common courtesy and rules of order. Ridicule, belittling and mockery are forms of bullying. These are not appropriate ways to respond to differing views.

Library location a bad decision Dear Editor: What in the world is municipal council thinking? Why would council choose to tear down the former corporation building, transformed

over the past 16 years into a pristine gallery and arts centre, and replace it with a new structure to house the library. No one disputes that the library needs a larger facility, but

at the expense of an established arts centre? Surely there were other equally viable options. Whatever led to council’s decision — whether they actually considered other

options or not — it is unlikely that we, the public, will ever really know as the grunt work was done and the deal sealed in utmost secrecy. Summerland Community Arts Council

board members were kept completely out of the loop until less than a week before the deal was finalized and then asked to keep the matter confidential. As a result, the

In 1930 Overwaitea Food Store opened its doors to the public on Granville Road (10120 Main St.) This photo from 1951 shows off a healthy selection in their newly renovated fruit and vegetable bins. The size of today’s produce sections, not to mention the prices therein, have grown considerably. Since March is National Nutrition Month, the Dieticians of Canada invite you to spend a little extra time among the vegetables. When it comes to good eating, the produce department is the best place to shop.

Better name needed for intersection Dear Editor It was with great interest that I read the articles concerning Heritage Week and specifically the intention to name our three roundabouts. As an “armchair historical geographer” I love reading about our pioneers and their early efforts which resulted in our present day community. I do believe however, that if we start naming geographic features after nega-

tive things, such as naming our newest roundabout after someone killed at that location, we are starting down a slippery slope. As per the attached photo, (courtesy of Summerland Museum), perhaps a more positive direction would be to name our newest roundabout after the pioneer family whose house you tore down, to build the roundabout!

rest of the membership and the general public were informed virtually at the same time when the announcement was made public Feb. 20 with an orchestrated news release in front of the soon to be demolished arts centre. The secrecy, the lack of communication and the absence of negotiation among all involved is particularly difficult to understand. Over the past 16 years, the relationship between Summerland Community Arts Council and municipal council has been very amicable and mutually supportive. Make no mistake, the arts council has always been very grateful for the use of the former corporation building and has always recognized council’s right to sell the building. However, it is safe to say that the expectation was always that at the very least the arts council would have a heads up and plenty of time to relocate if the building was put on the market. We obviously had no heads-up and the date by which we must vacate the premises (June of this year) is nonnegotiable. Finally, there’s the spin. Julie McGuire, long-range planner

for the municipality, outlined the benefits the new library would bring to the downtown core while noting that the temporary relocation of the arts centre to a store front further up Main Street would help give it additional exposure. Echoing her sentiments, Mayor Janice Perrino stated, “I can’t begin to tell you what it (the new library facility) will do for Main Street and the economic boom it will bring. It couldn’t be better.” Both points in my opinion are at best disingenuous. While the library is well used, it is hard to see how its new location and facility would truly result in an economic boom for Summerland. Equally difficult to understand is how an interim location for the arts centre and gallery in an empty building best suited for a commercial venture could possibly be a plus. As positive and optimistic as one tries to be, it is difficult to view what has transpired in the past couple of weeks as anything but a significant step backwards for the arts community.

inventions and inhome productions. Perhaps there is a place for more scientific industry. Any ideas, John? 7. Could the co-op buildings be turned into reasonably priced warehouse or office spaces for people who have small business ideas or home businesses but would like a space outside the home? 8. I heard a wonderful idea from a thoughtful woman the other day. We really need an addition to the Parkdale Place complex’s Angus Place. The waiting list is years long and our population needs more

independent living space as provided by Angus Place. Her idea was to create such a place with the library on the main floor, giving easy access for all Summerlanders. With the library about to be built at the corner of Main Street and Kelly Avenue, why can’t this be put into the works. 9. Keep open to the idea of an agricultural college in Summerland and continue to canvass the provincial government especially as our food needs are increasingly apparent. That’s it from my desk for now. Diddy Evans Summerland

Business and agriculture questions raised

Dear Editor: I have written that I am opposed to taking land out of the Agricultural Land Reserve. The question asked is how do we make Summerland a viable community. I have some suggestions that I would like to add for consideration. 1. Rental costs for stores in town are too high. Most of the buildings are old and long since paid for. If supply and demand rule market price, then clearly this is the time when those rents could be lowered to encourage businesses to stay. 2. Winter tomatoes and peppers are often greenhouse grown. Why can’t this ALR

property be leased out and have our town be the supplier of the area’s greenhouse vegetables? We would not be trucking food from California and Florida so our carbon footprint would be smaller and we wouldn’t have to genetically modify the fruit to make it transportable over long distances. 3. People still buy canned fruit and vegetables. Sadly, Okanagan canneries have been closed down, which meant loss of jobs for lots of Summerlanders. Can we not encourage more value added industry to support our fruit growers? 4. I wonder why

a housing development was created right beside our James Lake Industrial Area. This seems like strange planning. I hope that the meat store that requested to have an abattoir on its premises will be encouraged to do so in the Bentley Road Industrial Area. We want industry but we don’t allow it. 5. Encourage people who used to butcher highly valued chickens and other meats to reopen as it has become apparent that the large industrial butchers are the cause of the diseaseproducing meats. 6. I was interested to read about John Bennest’s scientific

What are Epidermal Growth Factors? They are vitamins or hormones (proteins) that are required for the stimulation of growth in living cells. They orchestrate the continuous regeneration and wound healing process of the skin. Chronologically aged skin is characterized by a diminished production of growth factors. The consequence is a reduction of collagen and elastin - skin looks less radiant, dull and wrinkled.

council leaves us shaking our heads in wonder. We are registering our opposition to the land swap for the following reasons: o We have studied the Official Community Plan maps and have found other suitable land (not in the Agricultural Land Reserve) within the boundaries you require. o With the advent of climate change, scientists around the world are acknowledging the necessity for us to change. Soon you will be required within your OCP to show how you grow enough food to support your community, how

you support community gardens, encourage and support young people to learn about farming and caring for the land. o We question your economic wisdom in suggesting that once the land in question is released from the ALR, it will be available for developing affordable housing. How can you determine that? You have no right to dictate to a developer how much they can sell the land for. Nor can you dictate to a developer what materials to use or what profit they can make. We all know that once land is on the open

market, anything can happen. o As a council, you told us carriage houses and infill housing would comply with sustainable principles. Where are those principles now? Sadly we could go on with more reasons. We will end this by suggesting to you that the economic life of Summerland and specifically the downtown core should not be based on housing development that may or may not bring people to live, work and spend money here.

Fifth generation operates historic farm by Carla McLeod Special to the Review

Summerland’s oldest family farm is now in the hands of its fifth generation. James Gartrell arrived in Trout Creek in 1885 and brought his family from Ontario in 1887. He staked out a piece of land known as a pre-emption and proceeded to clear the land and build a home with the lumber. He planted the very first commercial peach orchard in the area. He was also granted the first water license in order to dam the waters of Trout Creek, thus providing irrigation to his fruit trees. His peaches provided the miners of Camp McKinney and Fairview with fresh fruit, and were

hauled there in a wagon pulled by a team of six horses. It took three days to make the round trip. The farm was eventually passed on to his son Fredrick Richard Gartrell, who added to the orchard, muskmelon and zuccamelon crops, as well as a commercial honey operation. In 1946, Fredrick’s son Lloyd Gartrell returned home from the war and took over the farm, hoping to make enough money off of it to feed his family. When the crops froze out in 1951, he was forced to take a job with the cable company. Although he continued to live and raise his children on the farm, the operation of it was handled by several different managers

Still farming

Fred and David Gartrell continue to work the farm James Gartrell set up in Trout Creek in the 1880s. The farm is Summerland’s oldest.

in the years to follow. New crops were planted, adding to the peaches, apples, apricots and prunes. The fruit went to local canneries and

packing houses. After getting a Bachelor of Science degree in Agriculture, Lloyd’s son David Gartrell took over the farm in 1978.

His brother Fred Gartrell, who had been with the Bank of Nova Scotia, joined him in 1981. “I always told everyone that every agrologist needs a banker to keep the farm going, someone who understands

finances,” said David. “People told us a person should never work with family, but in 25 years of farming together, we only had one major dispute and that only lasted a few hours,” Fred added. Together the brothers bought up more

land. They replaced old trees with high density planting of newer varieties of apples. Although both men have now retired and the farm is being run by David’s son-in-law, they still think there is a future in farming. “My hope is that agricultural land is going to be more valuable in the future. The land is scarce and the population of the planet is increasing,” Fred stated. “You get tied to the land you farm. You are not going to make a fortune in farming, but there is a lot of satisfaction from working the land and producing food,” David said.

**Beautifully Written **Sensitively Directed ** Powerfully Acted **

Following his Oscar win for A Separation, director Asghar Farhadi continues to develop the complex theme of a family in conflict. The story revolves around Ahmad, who travels from Tehran to Paris to finalize his divorce from his French wife, Marie. A gracious meeting at the airport quickly dissolves into acrimonious bickering and Ahmad, despite his best intentions, finds himself drawn into further emotional entanglements when he discovers their daughter vehemently objects to her mother’s new relationship. A masterful exploration of clotted family relationships set against the difficult struggles of an immigrant community trying to establish itself in foreign country. Director: Asghar Farhadi Cast: Bérénice Bejo, Tahar Rahim, Ali Mosaffa, Pauline Burlet Rated: 14A ~ subtitled Pre-purchased Single Tickets $13 each available at the Penticton Art Gallery - 199 Marina Way (250-493-2928) and The Book Shop – 242 Main Street (250-492-6661).

Bully-free initiative

Children and youth workers from the Summerland Boys and Girls Club and Summerland Asset Development Initiative join municipal representatives and members of Bully Free Summerland as the first anti-bullying signs were set up last week. The pink bully free signs will designate public parks and beaches as bully-free zones.

Foster to read from local history book In celebration of International Women’s Day, authors Sherril Foster, Julie Fowler and Claire Festel will read from their new books and discuss the challenges and rewards of uncovering B.C. and Yukon women’s

history. Festel did not set out to write a book, but provide an oral element to the Yukon Women: 50 Over 50 art exhibit. The book arose from the curiosity of these women to know more about

each other, a genuine collaborative effort and Festel’s belief in the importance of sharing these stories. Foster was delighted by the accolades and thanks she received from relatives of Mary Spencer, the pioneer photographer

she wrote about. One man commented, “That handsome man on the cover is my grandfather! It’s the first picture of him most of my family has seen!” Fowler ’s search began with a date to a

funeral with her now husband, Paul Crawford, curator of the Penticton Art Gallery. The importance of these stories has not gone unnoticed; the books have received a hefty amount of media attention, including interviews on CBC’s

North by Northwest and a feature article in The Province, among many other newspapers and magazines. Everyone is invited to attend this event to learn about uncovering the past. The readings and talk will

be followed by questions from the audience, and book signings. The reading will be held Thursday, March 6 at 7 p.m. in the Penticton Public Library Reading Room, 785 Main St., Penticton.

Stamp album donated to Summerland Museum

For several years, the Penticton and District Stamp Club has been encouraging donations of inactive postage stamp collections. Speaking at a club meeting, Gus Boersma, chair of the club, told members people often have old stamp collections in their homes, left to them by relatives or friends. Some of these albums may have been stored for many years. When albums are donated to the club, the most valuable stamps are removed and sold to members as premium lots. The album itself, containing the more common stamps, is sold as a separate item. The new owner often removes the balance of the stamps with a view to upgrading his or her own collection before disposing of the old book. However, once in a while an album is received which has been its owner ’s

Museum. In order to make it as complete a record as possible, Baessler searched his own collection, supplying many of the missing stamps from his duplicates. He then turned the volume to fellow club member Blaine Martinac of Summerland, who filled in more blanks before presenting the album to the museum in early February. The money raised from the sale of stamps and albums is donated to the club’s three charities.

Steam win in overtime action

It was a comefrom-behind win for the Summerland Steam on Tuesday as the Junior B hockey team defeated the North Okanagan Knights in the sixth game of the division semi-finals. The game, in Armstrong, saw the Steam earning a 2-1 overtime victory. After a scoreless first period, the Knights’ only goal came at 16:35 in the second period. Then, with just 53 seconds remaining in the third period, Jordan Boultbee of the Steam tied the game. Easton Bodeux and Dylan Burton had the assists. Sam Nigg clinched the win for the Steam with an unassisted goal at 3:23 in overtime. “It was a great game,” Steam coach John DePourcq said after the win on Tuesday. “Now we’ve got to do it all over again tomorrow.” DePourcq credited the overtime win with dedication on the part of the Steam players. “The Knights unfortunately got the first goal, but we never gave up,” he said. “They’re a really good group of boys

who really pulled together.” The game on Wednesday evening was the seventh in the division semi-finals. Results of that game were not available by press time. In February, the Steam finished the regular season play

as the top-ranked team in the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference: Okanagan Division of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. The Steam finished regular season action with 33 wins, 15 losses, one tie and three overtime losses.

well throughout the week and their record at the end of the round robin was four wins and three losses, which qualified them for a tiebreaker. They won the tiebreaker, defeating the Cathy Smiley team from the Royal City Curling Club 7-5. The semi-final was a very close game with the opposition

skip (Lisa Deputan, Chilliwack Curling Club) making a great shot on the last end for the win and the silver medal. The gold medal was won by the Penny Shantz foursome representing the Parksville Curling Club. They will represent B.C. at the nationals in Yellowknife in mid-March.

The Knights finished the regular season in fourth place in the division. The first of the playoff games was held on Feb. 25 in Summerland. The opening period was scoreless. In the second period, Burton scored from

Boultbee and Josh DaCosta at 8:16 to give the Steam the lead. The second Steam goal, by Reid Brown from Bodeux, came at 5:25. The Knights responded with two goals to tie the game. The final Steam goal was in the third

period with seven seconds remaining, when Olli Dickson scored from Brown and DaCosta. The following evening, the steam faced the Knights in Armstrong, playing to an 8-3 loss. After two North Okanagan goals in the first period, Daylan Robertson scored on a power play for Summerland at 4:48, assisted by Bodeux and DaCosta. In the second period, Burton scored on a power play at 17:57, assisted by Boultbee and Rylan Sideroff. The Knights responded with three goals in the period. Summerland’s third goal was in the third period at 12:59 when Sideroff scored on a power play, assisted by Boultbee and Burton. The loss served to inspire the team to work harder. “It was a really good wakeup call for the boys,” DePourcq said. While the Steam lost the next two games, the scores were much closer. On Friday, the Knights shut out the Steam in Summerland in a 3-0 game. On March 1, Steam faced the Knights in

Armstrong, playing to a 2-1 loss. After a scoreless first period and two North Okanagan goals in the second, Summerland’s sole goal came during a power play at 2:51 in the third period when Sideroff scored with assists by Brown and Kienan Scott. A game in Summerland on March 2 added a win for the Steam in a 2-1 decision. Summerland’s first goal came at 9:33 in the second period when Scott scored, assisted by Robertson. In the third period, DaCosta scored on a power play at 17:30, assisted by Robertson and Scott. A North Okanagan goal was not enough to alter the outcome. The winner of the game on Wednesday will go on to face the Osoyoos Coyotes in the division finals. The seven-game series begins on March 7. The winner of that match will face the 100 Mile House Wranglers or the Kamloops Storm for the conference title in a series beginning March 17. The league championship series will begin March 28.

WAYLETT, PEARL (NEE CAIRNS) September 23, 1919 – Ninette, MB March 1, 2014 – Calgary, AB

It is with sadness, but peace, that we announce the passing of our beautiful mother Pearl Waylett (nee Cairns), knowing that she is with her Lord and Savior. She was born in Ninette Manitoba on September 23, 1919. She passed away peacefully in her sleep at Foothills hospital in Calgary on March 1st, 2014 following a stroke. Pearl was predeceased by her loving husband Pat in 2009, after 67 years of marriage. Pearl was a loving, devoted mother to her 4 children, Garry (Gayle), Bill (Gail), Randy (Denise) and Mary-Jane (Mark Glaser deceased 2011). She was adored by her 10 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. Her number one priority in life was her family. Pearl always had a positive attitude about life and shared her beautiful smile with everyone. Growing up in Winnipeg she attended Kelvin High School, was an avid speed skater and loved playing her violin in an orchestra. She also loved music, dancing and playing cards. Pearl had several career jobs (Burns, Eaton’s, Ross Reality) and loved her position at St. John’s Ravenscourt School, where she was a special friend to all the resident students. Pearl lived her life as a devoted Christian, always caring for others and sharing her faith. Two of her favorite ways of serving God were working with children (Mission Band) and blessing many with a large mailing of the Upper Room monthly for more than 25 years. In Winnipeg, Pat and Pearl were active members of St. Vital Baptist Church, then in BC at Summerland Baptist Church. Pat and Pearl raised their family in Winnipeg, and after retirement enjoyed years as snowbirds wintering in Desert Hot Springs, California. They moved to Summerland BC in 1988. They enjoyed a wide circle of friends wherever they lived. In 2013 Pearl moved to Calgary where she resided at Wentworth Manor. Pearl will be deeply missed by her family and friends, but all have peace knowing that she will spend eternity in Heaven with loved ones. Her children and grandchildren will have a private celebration of Pearl’s life in Calgary. In lieu of flowers a donation can be made to a charity of your choice. Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com. In living memory of Pearl Waylett a tree will be planted at Big Hill Springs Park Cochrane by McINNIS & HOLLOWAY FUNERAL HOMES Park Memorial Chapel, 5008 ELBOW DRIVE S.W. Calgary, AB, T2S 2L5, Telephone: 1-800661-1599.

John Edward walton

Ed Walton passed away peacefully in his Summerland home in January at the age of 88. John Edward Walton was born in Neptune, Saskatchewan. His mother died when he was 3 months old and his dad brought him to Summerland to live with his grandparents. Eddie grew up in the Okanagan, helping his grandparents farm their orchard near Garnet Valley. He often rode his horse, or bike, into town to meet up with friends at the wharf in the summer months. Ed Walton and Eunice Harvey were childhood friends and High School sweethearts in Summerland. Their paths separated when Ed went off to fly with the Royal Canadian Air Force during WWII and Eunice went to the states to pursue a college education. Ed received the 1939-1945 star for service in France and Germany medal, the Defence of Britain medal, and the Victory medal. Ed was hired by the provincial police in 1948 and was transferred to the RCMP in 1950, retiring in 1972 as a Staff Sergeant after serving in various communities in B.C. He then worked as a civilian with the City of Kamloops Police Station for the next 20 years. Ed was an active member of the RCMP Veterans’ Association. After Ed’s first wife, Eva, passed away he looked for his long ago friend, Eunice, and found her in Oregon. Their love was quickly rekindled and they married in 1999 and moved back to Summerland where their early romance had begun. Ed is survived by his wife, Eunice; his daughters, Dian, Sandra, and Judith; his stepchildren, Cathy, David, and Barbara; and his many grandchildren and great grandchildren. He will be remembered for his ready smile and deeply missed by his family and friends.
