Recycling rules change Plastic bags and wrap not allowed in blue bags by John Arendt Summerland’s blue bag recycling regulations have changed and as a result, some items which had been accepted for curbside recycling in the past will be left behind.
Don Darling, director of engineer and public works for the municipality, said the regulation changes are the result of the Multi-Material British Columbia recycling program, which took effect in May. Milk cartons and plastic clamshell food packages are allowed in the blue bags under the new
regulations, but plastic grocery bags and clear plastic wrap is not allowed. Although the milk cartons and clamshell packages had not been allowed in the past, some had been including them with their recyclable materials. Plastic bags and plastic wrap can be recycled, but
not through the curbside pickup service. “These can be recycled at the landfill, but they can’t be put into the blue bags,” Darling said. He added that the new recyclable collection regulations, which took effect last week, are mandated by the province and cannot be adjusted by individual communities.
Information about the new recycling changes has been distributed to Summerland residents. It is also available on the municipality’s website at summerland.ca. Mayor Janice Perrino said the exclusion of plastic bags will be an inconvenience for many Summerlanders. See STRATEGIES Page 3

Hikers rescued north of Summerland Paramedics and members of Penticton and District Search and Rescue were called to rescue an injured female hiker and her male companion north of Summerland on Monday evening. The call was received shortly after 7 p.m. The two hikers were
over an embankment near La Punta Norte, north of Summerland. The only access to them was from the highway, above the embankment. Members of Naramata Fire Rescue provided assistance with their fire rescue vessel, which was in place at the bottom of
the embankment. Ryanne Vorlich, manager on duty at Penticton and District Search and Rescue, said workers had just started their weekly training session with 29 members in attendance. A team of 22 search and rescue volunteers arrived
at the scene by 8 p.m. The High Angle Rescue Group lowered responders with a stretcher. They then lowered the hikers to the fire rescue vessel on the lake. The hikers were then taken to a nearby beach, where B.C. Ambulance Service paramedics were
waiting. Vorlich said search and rescue volunteers had returned from a weekend rope rescue training session in Kamloops. “Within 24 hours, those skills were being deployed to help someone in need,” she said.

Yard category in the fair was inspired by European homes and yards, especially in Switzerland and Germany. “I think Summerland could use a little sprucing up,” he said. Hoping to inspire the same beautification efforts locally, he set up the Fall Fair category, sponsored by Martens Orchard. “I thought I’d up the ante a bit in terms of a prize,” he said. “It might encourage some people to do something.” Residents are encouraged to send pictures of their yards at least two weeks before the Fall Fair in September. In addition to the Best Front Yard category, a Best EcoFriendly Front Yard category is also included. Martens said the eco-friendly section was included as xeriscape gardening has been gaining in popularity. Depending on the success of this year’s Best Front Yard competition, Martens may include it in the fair for future years as well.

Architects to show plans for new library The Okanagan Regional Library will hold an open house to present the initial plans for the new Summerland branch. The open house will be held Tuesday, June 10 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the existing library branch on Wharton Street. The new library branch will be constructed at the corner of Main Street and Henry Avenue, where the former municipal building and a garage are now situated. Urban Arts Archi-
tecture of Vancouver has been awarded the contract to design the new building. “We know the community can’t wait to walk through the doors of the new library and choosing an architect that can provide a superb quality of work and meet our timelines was very important for us,” said Catherine Lord, chair of the Okanagan Regional Library board. The architect will work with Tango Project and Construction Management, the project manager for the new
building. Michele Rule, communications manager for the regional library, said the library will take possession of one property in early July and the other in early August. Then, the existing buildings on both properties must be demolished before construction of the new facility can begin. “With any luck, we’ll start building in September,” she said. The completion date is scheduled for next spring.
ending up in the landfill. Perrino said municipal council and staff are considering ways to accommodate plastic bag recycling. One idea which has been proposed would involve strategic sites in the core of the community where residents could drop off their plastic bags. Adding a staffed recycling depot downtown is not an option, Perrino added.
“The idea of this was to save us
“The community’s excited,” Rule said. “The librarians are thrilled and the board is totally supportive.” The Summerland Community Arts Centre, which had occupied the municipal building for the past 16 years, will use the former Willowbrook Lane building on Main Street as an interim location, while the Summerland Potters’ Guild, also in the municipal building, will use a building on Victoria Road North as its interim location.

“For many of us, the bulk of our recyclables is soft plastics,” she said. “This is the most inconvenient system. We have to find ways to make it more convenient.” Darling said the biggest change will be with the plastic bags, film and wrap. He said municipal representatives will meet with officials from Green By Now to see if there is another way to keep plastic bags from

LEGALLY SPEAKING...
A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company
Legal Phrases in Pop Culture A recent article by Jeffrey Miller in the Canadian Bar Association’s magazine the “National” referred to legally minded phrases that people use all the time likely without knowing their exact origins. Here are two: “Round up the usual suspects” - Movie buffs and Humphrey Bogart fans will instantly recognise that as the classic line spoken by Claude Rains as “Louis Renault” the French Vichy Prefect of Police in the movie” Casablanca.” Of course, Louis knew who had committed the crime, but he was in no rush to uncover the real culprit, our hero “Rick.” That line is said to have inspired the idea for a more recent movie called appropriately enough“The Usual Suspects.” A very good movie known for its all-star cast and its surprising final minute reveal. “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time”– Many younger people will say that they have heard Snoop Dog or the group Ub40 sing this line. Many older people will wonder who Snoop Dog or Ub40 are! The reality is that the line was first sung by Sammy Davis Jr. in the mid-1970s. It was written into a theme song for the TV Cop show “Baretta” starring Robert Blake. The rest of the story is of course that Mr. Blake went on to have quite a checkered legal history.

our pick
User-friendly recycling Changes to curbside collection of recyclable materials could result in more recyclables ending up in the landfill. The changes took effect in May and are a result of the Multi-Material British Columbia recycling program. Plastic grocery bags, plastic film and plastic wrap will no longer be accepted in the blue bags, even though these items can be recycled. Those who wish to take them for recycling must make a trip to the landfill and drop them off at the recycling bins there. This change is puzzling since the recycling of plastic bags is now less convenient than ever before. When Summerland introduced recycling, an unstaffed depot was set up near the Summerland Arena. Customers who took their materials to this depot had to sort cans, plastics, cardboard and paper and put each into designated bins, but the depot was centrally located. Later, curbside service added a level of convenience as materials no longer had to be sorted and could be picked up at the curb. While curbside pickup remains, some common items will no longer be accepted. The depot is now at the landfill, in an area far from the core of the community. Hours of operation are limited. The municipality’s system fits with the Multi-Material British Columbia regulations. But it is not convenient for those the end users. If the goal is to encourage recycling and diverting recyclable materials from the landfill, something has to change. Plastic bags and wrap make up a significant amount of a typical household’s recyclable materials. It seems senseless to exclude these items from the blue bags. If the Multi-Material British Columbia program is to promote recycling and reduce waste, the service must change to become more convenient.
It was a celebration of movement as members of the Summerland School of Dance held their annual concert on the weekend. D a n c e involves discipline and many hours of practice for those who wish to do well and move gracefully. The pursuit of excellence is by no means effortless. The results of the hard work and dedication could be seen as the dancers took to the stage.
bad Farmland fate a test for parties apples VICTORIA – The B.C. Liberal government’s bill to divide the Agricultural Land Reserve into two zones has passed, after one of the nastier exchanges I’ve seen in a decade covering the B.C. legislature. “You’re all a bunch of corrupt liars,” NDP agriculture critic Nicholas Simons yelled as the government cut off a long and mostly repetitious debate that dominated the Tom Fletcher final days of the legislature session. Not to be outdone, cabinet minister Bill Bennett replied to Simons’ heckle about Kootenay rancher Faye Street, one of Bennett’s most vocal supporters as he pushed through changes to the land reserve to ease land use restrictions in rural zones. Bennett advised Simons to offer his remarks to Street in person. “She’ll kick your ass,” Bennett said. The on-the-record debate wasn’t much better. Columbia River-Revelstoke NDP MLA Norm Macdonald summed up his party’s biggest objection with his charge that “a bunch of Liberal political hacks” will be appointed to regional panels of the Agricultural Land Commission. The government’s scheme, Macdonald and other NDP critics predicted, is to unleash a flood of ALR land removals, to enrich B.C. Liberal supporters
by allowing development on productive farmland. That might be a valid concern, but there are a couple of factual problems. First, every appointment to the ALC, at the regional or provincial level, is made by the B.C. government. It’s been that way since the Dave Barrett administration set it up in 1973. Second, the regional panels are not new. The B.C. Liberals imposed them in 2003. If this was their method of corrupting the process to dismantle the ALR, that would have largely happened in the years since. Surely by this time they would have found enough greedy political hacks who hate farming to subvert the process. I’ve written before about the legitimate concerns of places like Merritt and Vanderhoof and Dawson Creek, where some ALR rules and decisions simply don’t make sense. Strict secondary residence rules are needed in areas with non-farm development pressure. In most rural areas, they are a mistake, and are frequently ignored. The debate wasn’t entirely devoid of honesty and civility. Macdonald interrupted his string of baseless accusations to note that under the current system, 75 per cent of exclusion applications in the Kootenay region are approved. If that’s the case, what is really broken that needs to be fixed? It’s a good question that the
government did not adequately answer. And credit also goes to the new agriculture minister, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick, who inherited a public relations mess left by the brief and boneheaded performance of Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm. Braving the heckling at the end, Letnick put aside his partisan talking points and gave his personal assurance that the government’s intention is to support farming in those places where non-farm income is the only thing that keeps people on the land. As soon as the theatrics had died down, the B.C. NDP sent out a fundraising plea to its members to help “save” the ALR. The party is broke and desperate after losing its fourth straight election, and it hopes to activate its declining donor base by portraying the changes as the imminent slaughter of its most sacred cow. Voters have three years before the next election to assess this situation. If there is a flood of exclusions of prime agricultural land, then the NDP will be able to make its case that its warnings were at least partially true. If this does not take place, then the government’s position will be vindicated. We’ll find out the truth. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

B.C. teachers are in the second week of rotating strikes and job actions in the dispute with the province. This dispute, with exams and graduation just days away, results in significant disruptions for students and their families. While the dispute must be resolved fairly, it is most immediate is to ensure the students are not inconvenienced. The needs of the students must come first.

Education numbers don’t add up
Dear Editor: I have a pile of student writing that I should be editing and marking tonight, however, because of the lock out order issued to teachers, I cannot mark in the evening. Instead, I thought I’d wonder about some numbers.
Whenever I hear a number stated as a payment I will have to make, my ears perk up. B.C. government negotiator, Peter Cameron declared that teachers’ “demands” would cost every B.C. citizen $1,100. I surmise that this
calculation is based on the fallacy that every dollar that the B.C. government collects is out of your pocket and mine. B.C.’s total revenue (from the B.C. Government website) is $43.95 billion. B.C.’s population is 4,400,057.
Doing division, taught to me by my primary teachers in public school, I arrive at a figure of $9,988.51 per person. Since I have a family of four, this equals $39,954.04 But my family, with two incomes (both incredibly overpaid B.C. teachers),
does not pay $40,000 in taxes to all levels of government combined. B.C. Liberals spent $66 million out of the Ministry of Children and Family Development budget on nothing according to the representative for children and
youth, Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond. They spent more than $6 million on Basi and Virk’s legal fees. They spent $514 million on the B.C. Place roof. They continue to spend money appealing a court verdict which they’ve lost
twice. This list is not complete. The government is trying to scare you into thinking your taxes will skyrocket if you pay teachers fairly. They are spinning the numbers to scare people. Kevin J. Epp Penticton
THE EARLY YEARS
Everyone loves a parade
Photo courtesy of the Summerland Museum
When it comes to parades, Summerland has always generated entertaining processions full of music, marvellous floats and loads of fun. In 1956, celebrating Summerland’s Golden Jubilee, our community float duly impressed the spectators. Presiding over it, dressed in a golden gown with her arms and head painted gold, Louise Atkinson was the sensation of the day. The 2014 Action Fest parade on Saturday probably won’t feature a Golden Girl, but it’s sure to offer an abundance of fun and spectacular sights. Take your lawn chair to town on Saturday morning and enjoy the party!
Council didn’t Good forest management needed allow infill lot Dear Editor: The District of Summerland council and staff have rejected or deferred on an infill lot proposal on Howis Crescent. To quote Coun. Lloyd Christopherson, “Any decision must consider the existing area. I think there has to be some respect to the character of the neighbourhood.” Without any change to any infill zoning or bylaws by council and staff in power, there will never be any infill in Summerland. This same council and staff that are in control are wanting to remove 200 acres
of prime agricultural land from the Agricultural Land Reserve. There is no consideration for the area and no respect for the character of the existing neighbourhood. The council and staff will do everything to rezone and accommodate the removal of the land from the ALR. Other cities and municipalities will change zoning and bylaws to accommodate infill, but not Summerland. I doubt very much that this council would ever really allow infill. Reinhold Prochnau Summerland
Dear Editor: Forests are a remarkable treasury for a healthy landscape sheltering wildlife, protecting the soil, slowing the melt, purifying the air and protecting waterways. Forestry has always been a huge industry in B.C. but it has required good management and direction by the government using the B.C. Forest Service of professional workers. It is an industry
that demands longterm planning; we plant and care for today for harvests two, three or more generations to come. This is not happening today as it should. The Forest Service has been so depleted it can no longer carry out inspections, do research or silviculture work, keep a current inventory on which to base annual allowable cut figures, or to make accurate counts for proper stumpage
payments by the forest companies. To show the demands on the Forest Service today, compare the U.S. Forestry 2,700 hectares per forester with the 232,000 hectares per forester in B.C. We ask the B.C. forest professional to do an impossible job. Forest companies have been given some of the work of overseeing their own activities. But there are glaring examples appearing of over-
large cuts (500 Ha), of good wood being put into slash and burn piles, of nothing left in cut areas to protect seedlings and nourish the soil. As well, high altitude logging is removing trees 150 and more years old. They may well take 200 to 300 years to reach the size they are today, leaving a vulnerable environment for all life nearby. It is imperative that the government
begin at once to remedy this situation. The increase in forest exports could otherwise be the cause of a disastrous decrease in timber supply with the resulting future losses of employment and financial health. Contact Dan Ashton MLA with your concerns on behalf of this vital renewable resource. Demand full care for the future stability of the industry. Sheila White Summerland
Front yard category added to Fall Fair Dear Editor: This fall there will be a new set of entries in the Fall Fair. We hope that as many people as possible will consider entering the new Front Yard Category. Martens Orchard is offer-
ing the following prizes: First prize Best Front Yard, $100; second prize Best Front Yard, $50; first prize Best Eco-Friendly Front Yard, $50; second prize Best EcoFriendly Front Yard, $25. Persons interested in entering these two categor-
ies will be asked to submit four by six inch (or larger) photos of their yards at least two weeks prior to Fall Fair so that judges will be able to make comparisons of the entries by observing first hand all entrant’s yards. There is still plenty of
time to get started or to make changes to make your front yards more attractive. Further details will be available from either the Fall Fair Committee or phone Frank at 494-4666. Frank Martens Summerland

FUNDING OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUTH PROJECTS The Summerland Charity Shop Society - Penny Lane is looking to support a community legacy project for youth in Summerland. Since 2003, Penny Lane has provided over two million dollars to a variety of youth projects which have included school counsellors and breakfast programs, SADI, the young writers club and many others. Penny Lane is now looking to provide financial support for a project that impacts the majority of youth in our community. If you or a friend has an idea for a legacy project, Penny Lane is interested in hearing from you. Please send a 1 or 2 page proposal that includes your legacy project idea, contact information, and a budget to summerlandpennylane@gmail.com by June 15, 2014. Legacy projects must have a budget in the range of $100,000 to $400,000. While all projects will be considered, preference will be given to projects that provide benefit to the majority of youth in Summerland. Penny Lane reserves the right to accept or reject any or all of the proposals. The proposals will be reviewed and successful applicants will be contacted by July 30, 2014. We would also like to encourage charitable organizations to submit youth projects to Penny Lane’s Legacy Fund with the South Okanagan Community Foundation.

Summerland Review Thursday, June 5, 2014
Conservatives select Albas as candidate MP will run in new riding in 2015 federal election MP Dan Albas will seek re-election in the next federal election, but the riding he hopes to represent did not exist when he was first elected in 2011. Dan O n Albas Monday, Albas was declared the Conservative Party of Canada’s nominee for the newly formed Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola riding. The Conservative Party’s nomination process began May 1 and ran for two weeks. The nomination period closed on Thursday, May 15.
Stacking cups
Albas was the only candidate nominated. Mark Ziebarth, president of the Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola Conservative Association said the riding is new, but not dramatically different from the riding Albas now represents. While Penticton is no longer included, West Kelowna has been added. “It’s still a strong Conservative riding,” he said. Penticton will be part of the new South Okanagan-West Kootenay riding. Ziebarth said the federal Conservatives have already selected their candidates for roughly one-third of the 338 ridings in Canada. The federal election is expected to be held in October, 2015.
Kurtis Marsden, a Grade 5 student at Giant’s Head Elementary School, works on a cup stacking activity during the school’s health day last week.

Roger Huber, left, of Swiss Solar Tech, explains the solar energy system at the Summerland Aquatic Centre with Adam Olson, interim leader of the B.C. Green Party. Olson was in Summerland and other South Okanagan communities on Friday. The solar energy system, installed in 2010 and 2013, has resulted in estimated savings of $10,000 a year on energy bills at the pool.
The Chamber welcomes Pro-Eco Energy as a new member. Roger Huber who is also the owner of Swiss Solar Tech, started Pro-Eco Energy with a partner. The company made the provincial news in April with the installation of a large solar tracker at a home in Penticton. The Chamber ’s newest member, My Chocolate Crush, is quickly creating a sweet spotlight for themselves. Owner and chocolatier Lesley Vaisanen is working on a new Okanagan fruit range of chocolates, and is also connecting with Summerland wineries to create unique wine and chocolate pairing experiences. Look for details of an open house at My Chocolate Crush later this month.
Renovations
The final touches are being added to the renovations at Summerland Credit Union. Watch for details of their grand re-opening celebrations.
On the move

Expansion
Summerland
Heritage Cider Company is building a new tasting room, which they hope to open later this summer.
Under new management

The owners of the Summerland’s Perch Liquor Store have made the purchase, with plans to have their second location open sometime in June.

Quarton included in display about liberation of Normandy A Summerland veteran is one of 12 who will be featured on a display about the World War II liberation of Normandy in 1944. Biographical information about LCol. Harry Quarton of the South Alberta Regiment is featured
at the Centre Juno Beach in France. The display will be unveiled this week, on the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Normandy and D-Day. Quarton joined the regiment in June 1940, when he was 17.
He landed on Juno Beach as part of the 4th Canadian Armoured Division and was involved in the Battle of the Falaise Gap. After World War II, he continued with military service until his retirement in 1986.

Students excel at public speaking Summerland students excelled in a public speaking competition on May 27. The School District 67/Rotary Public Speaking Competition was organized by the school district and the Rotary Clubs of Summerland and Penticton. Emceeing this event were Taylor Arkesteyn, Summerland’s Blossom Queen and Katelyn Michaud, Miss Rotary. Donations from the event were given towards a school humanitarian trip to Tanzania for assistance in a needy orphanage. This competition showcased students of School District 67 and gave them an opportunity to present their pub-
lic speaking skills, enhancing their professional and personal development. Speakers were critiqued by a panel of judges marking poise, gestures, eye contact, voice projection, fluency, control and overall performance.
Winners of the competition were from Summerland Secondary School unless otherwise stated. Grade 10: First Katrina Fricke, second Sylvia Mott, third Caitlin Shaw. Grade 11: First Colton Van Camp
of Princess Margaret Secondary School, second Hannah Wright, third Emily Okabe. Grade 12: First Jessa Barber, second Rylee McKinlay of Princess Margaret Secondary School, third Emma McDowall. Since 1969

Imagine what it would be like to throw a party for 15,000 guests. How would you entertain them all when they range in age from one to 100, many of them strangers to each other and unknown to you? Most importantly, how would you keep it fun and exciting when you’ve been hosting this same party for 32 years? The Summerland Action Festival Committee has continued to rise to this challenge, year after year. This year will be no exception. Kim Roberge has been involved since the festival’s inception. “It started at the bowling alley,” he said. “It was only the bike races and the runs at that time.”
The Parks and Recreation Department sponsors the Giant’s Head Run and the Man of Steel Triathlon. “We organize it. We keep the fees really low, due to sponsors supporting our event,” said Brenda Ingram, who has been on the committee since 1988. “I look after all the sporting events, the slow pitch tournaments, the kids’ fishing derby because they are happening on city property. We make sure that the area is ready for them and the gates are open”. Committee president Pat Bell related how he first got involved. “I took the girls to our first Action Festival in 1990. That year I got elected as the president of the Chamber of Commerce. At that time the chamber ran the dance. I also joined
the Kinsmen and they ran the beer gardens. I started working at both of those and one thing led to another and pretty soon I was running Action Festival.” He has been doing so since 1996. The parade is a highlight of the festival and Doug Hardman has been organizing it for 12 years. “In my other life I was a cop and one of my jobs was being the special event coordinator. I was looking after parades for the Police Department. I’ve always loved parades,” he said. Assisting Hardman this year is Terry Hudson, who had previously been involved with the dance and security. “There is a lot more involved. The phone is always ringing and once we get all the forms in by e-mail, we have to sort them into an interesting array
for people to watch.” Another popular event is the beer gardens. The laws have changed in B.C., allowing people to move about at festivals with drinks in hand. That will not be happening at Action Festival. Jason Mathers said if that were to be the case, the whole park would have to be fenced off. “It’s much easier to keep a small area fenced off,” he said. Involved since 1999, he volunteered in order to support the community and the businesses. “It’s a big chance to showcase our community.” “The community loves it. It’s an exciting time of year”, said Pat Lindsay, another long-time member. “Everyone is so much fun to work with. We get new people coming in every year and that kind of livens us up.”
One such new volunteer is Ryan Ruybal. “I grew up in Summerland and played in the ball tournaments, so it’s an opportunity to give back,” he said. One of the main ways the committee generates income to keep the festival going is by producing their own brochure. Juanita Gibney looks after this and works closely with John Karroll, who is responsible for the entire entertainment lineup at the festival. “We all have our own little niche,” said Gibney. “We all know what we need to do, so there is nobody cracking the whip. It all comes together because everybody knows their job. It is a thing of beauty.” Summerland’s biggest party, Action Festival, starts tomorrow evening and your name is on the guest list.
Many activities planned for weekend by Kristi Patton Black Press Three days of free live entertainment, a 72-team slo-pitch tournament, Giants Head Run, Man of Steel triathlon, a parade and tons of things to do for the whole family is planned for the 32nd annual Summerland Action Festival, June 6 to 8.

beginning this fall. Linnea Good said the proposed choir, for
land, since the community has a strong musical tradition.
“I believe in the power of music to transform lives,” she said. “I know so many children who come alive when they’re singing.” She added that those who are ordinarily shy or introverted often do well when performing their music publicly. The choir will be an opportunity for
children to experience music rather than a choir with performances as its goal. Good is a singer and songwriter who has performed around the world. The choir represents a greater communitybased focus for her. The choir will begin in September, after school on Wednesdays. Summer-
Parents warned about graduation party dangers by Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government is sticking to education to keep grad parties safe this spring, rather than increasing penalties for “party bus” companies. Officials are more concerned about under-aged drinking at house parties and bush parties than alcohol served in limousines and buses that have become a popular way for young people to go out on the town. Tr a n s p o r t a tion Minister Todd Stone said party bus operators have been reminded that no open liquor is allowed in any
vehicle, and inspections will continue with violators risking loss of their licences. Party bus operators have changed their websites and advertising to emphasize that no drinking is allowed on board. At a graduation safety event in Victoria, RCMP and ICBC representatives stressed that there are grad-related fatalities every spring, and the problem extends to adult-sanctioned parties. Inspector Ted Emanuels, officer in charge of the B.C. RCMP’s enhanced traffic services, said any event or transportation where alcohol is served to minors is not a safe grad.
“The misuse and abuse of drugs and alcohol are the underlying factor in grad events where the police get involved, including physical assault, sexual assault, fights and accidental injuries,” Emanuel said. “We know from experience that bad things happen to good kids in these environments. There are also criminal and civil liabilities that you need to be aware of.” On average, there are four teens killed in graduation-related vehicle incidents each year in B.C., with another 1,140 injured. Jill Blacklock, ICBC’s road safety manager, said parents need to discuss trans-
portation plans with teens before every event they go to, giving them more than one option. Programming taxi numbers into their phones and checking transit schedules before they go out are recommended. After grad is over, the summer ahead is a time of parties that need the same kind of planning, Blacklock said. Emanuels said one of the most difficult jobs in policing is knocking on somebody’s door in the middle of the night to report a fatality. “Answering that door is worse,” he said. “Our objective is that your kids wake you up at four in the morning and not us.”

Sluggers defeat Reds The Summerland Sluggers defeated the Penticton Reds in tadpoles league action on Saturday. Both teams were down on numbers and Garrett Bayston once again showed great sportsmanship when he traded his blue Summerland shirt for a Red one, scoring two runs for the home team. The Sluggers still went on to claim victory with a 9-6 win. In the first innings, Elliot Chester made an impressive pitching debut for Summerland, achieving three outs at plate out of the Reds’ first four batters. The second innings brought five players up to bat for each team, with Casey McDermid pitching for the Sluggers, but the teams were evenly matched and no runs were scored for either side. In the top of the third, Aydan Yargeau pulled Summerland ahead with the first run of the match and Eve Chester looked promising, when she slugged one into the outfield, earning her a twobase opener, before being tagged out at third base, when McDermid followed her up to bat. The third innings closed with a 1-0 advantage to Summerland. When the fourth inning opened, despite the heat, both teams had got into their stride. First up to bat for the Sluggers, Nash Bayston
scored his first run of the game, followed by Yargeau, who ably claimed his second. Next up, Gordon Widdis also achieved his first run of the game, and then, hot on his heels came Chester to claim her first, brought home by a hit from her brother Elliot. McDermid, Branden Tutkaluk and Elliot Chester all performed admirably at bat, but with a four-run cap on the innings, were prevented from reaping their rewards. Still in the fourth, the Reds countered with a fourrun inning of their own, putting the scoreline at an exciting 5-4 to Summerland as the game went into the fifth. Opening the fifth and final innings, Bayston turned up the pressure with another run; Ben Hrncirik made it to second base, paving the way for Yargeau to take his personal score up to three runs in this game, again followed in by Widdis and Eve Chester, each scoring their second. The Reds responded with two runs, before a near-perfect play from Summerland pitcher Elliot Chester to Hrncirik at third attained the third out, drawing the game to a close at 9-6. The Sluggers came home smiling. Unavailable for Saturday’s game were Jesse Gregg, Mekenna Quinton and Lucas Koopmans.

LIFE-CHANGING DEBT SOLUTIONS
“I was tired of debt. It was time for a permanent change.”
Jim passed away peacefully on May 29, 2014 at the age of 91 years. He will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered by Doris, his wife of 68 years; daughters; Dayle (Chuck) Neale, Karen (Bill) Nelson, and Julie Sardinha of Summerland; son, David (Joy) Leith; sister, Jessie (Fred) Jensen; brother, Bill (Marian) Leith; 9 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Jim was sadly predeceased by his brothers,; David and John; sister, Alice (O’Neill); and son-in-law, Joe (Sardinha). Jim was born on November 6, 1922 in Wycliff, BC and grew up in Kimberly. He attended the University of British Columbia earning his M.A Sc. in Chemical Engineering in 1946. It was while studying at UBC that Jim met his life-long love, Doris, on the MacDonald bus and they were married in 1945. After graduation Jim’s first job was teaching high school math in Oliver, B.C. before beginning work in his field of engineering. In 1958 he began work for Crown Zellerbach, where he worked until his retirement in 1981. Life as an engineer meant many transfers between mills and new towns in which to live. By the time that Jim and Doris sold their house in Camas, Washington and made their final move to Summerland in 1995, Jim and Doris had moved a total of 13 times. Jim will be remembered as a man of great compassion, strength and honour. His greatest loves were family, fishing and gardening (and a rousing game of cards!) – he was especially proud of his tomatoes and roses. After his retirement, Jim and Doris enjoyed annual trips during the winter to Maui and summer vacations in Kimberly, for family get-togethers, fishing and accordion festivals. A celebration of Jim’s life will be held at St Mary’s Lake in Kimberly in early August. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or to the food bank of your choice. Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com

Summerland Arts Club holds show This weekend the Summerland Art Club present their Annual Show and Sale on Saturday and Sunday, June 7 and 8 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the lower floor of the Summerland Library on Wharton Street. There will be more than 20 painters presenting new, original works in watercolour, acrylics, oil, pastels, and pencil. This is a wonderful opportunity to purchase gifts for people or just to enjoy beautiful art by some of our many talented artists here in Summerland. Complimentary refreshments will be served. Admission is free and there will be an opportunity to meet and speak with the artists on Sunday at 3 p.m. Also this weekend is an opportunity to enjoy Nora Ephron’s play, Love, Loss, and What I Wore, at Oasis United Church. Nicola Cavendish, Elyse Blaise, Mia Harris, Sharon Moriarity, Christa Phillips, Judy Ritcey, and Eleanor Walker present this play reading about women and their relationship to cloth-
ing in their lives. It is moving and funny, dark and poignant. There will be three performances: June 6 and 7 at 7 p.m. and a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, June 8. There will be a ‘meet the cast’ reception after the Sunday afternoon performance. Classes are filling up for the annual Summer Art Program for students ages three to 12 so register soon. In addition to favourites like Fun with a Pocket Knife, Once Upon a Time, Music and Movement, Drawing and Painting, Wild About Writing, Broadway Bound there will be a new art course this year: Space Junk! To find out more call 250-494-4494 or drop by the Art Gallery at 9533 Main St., Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. or visit the website at summerlandarts. com.
