Everett Miller, eight years old, waves flags in honour of Canada Day on Tuesday. The Summerland Legion organized events including a flag raising ceremony, barbecue and cake in Memorial Park in the morning and concerts at Spirit Square in the afternoon.

The municipality will commit up to $80,000 to enter into a partnership agreement for the construction of a lakeside trail. The resolution was approved at a special meeting of municipal council late Monday afternoon. The partnership agreement with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is for a proposed trail which will eventually link many Okanagan communities. In a message to municipal administrator Tom Day, ministry representatives said the ministry was prepared to jointly fund the project with the municipality, based on the preliminary design cost estimates of around $500,000 for the 1.1-kilometre section of the pathway between the community beach areas and Lakeshore Drive. Municipal staff will prepare the required budget amendment with the municipality’s portion of the funding to come from the Parks and Trail Systems reserve. The reserve has around $193,000, but $70,000 for trail repair and improvements earlier this year has not yet come out of the reserve funding. Coun. Martin Van Alphen said the money in the reserve fund is allocated for parks and trail upgrades. By entering a partnership agreement with the province, the municipality will encourage other communities to add to the trail work. “If we invest $100,000 in this trail system, it’s going to wake up the rest of the Okanagan,” he said. “It’s going to spur more interest in this project.” Others at the council table had concerns about the project. Coun. Robert Hacking said the money in the reserve fund is for projects such as the trail. “We don’t even know what the whole project is going to cost,” said Coun. Lloyd Christopherson.

Athletes to compete at B.C. Games by John Arendt

Three Summerland athletes will compete at the B.C. Summer Games later this month. The games will be held in Nanaimo July 17 to 20

and will feature some of the best young athletes from around the province. The games are held every two years. Hunter Dufty, a track and field athlete, will

compete in shot put, javelin and discus. In order to compete, Dufty had to place first in a qualification meet. At that meet, she took the top spot in each of the

three events and the hammer throw. “I was really trying to get first in each one,” she said. Athletes may compete in no more than three events at the B.C. Sum-

mer Games, so after discussions with her coach, Dufty decided to drop the hammer throw and concentrate on the other three events. See TOP Page 3

Committee organized Dry Grad celebration by Carla McLeod Special to the Review

A couple of generations ago, dry grad parties were unheard of. Today they are an essential part of graduation celebrations. In Summerland, the dry grad party this year was attended by the majority of the graduating class, with only a handful of graduates choosing not to attend. “There was a time in many communities across the country when there weren’t any dry grad activities and students went out and partied and there were accidents and people died,” said Julie Planiden, who chairs the Dry Grad Committee. “That’s why I think dry grad happens, so that we can prevent that and hopefully provide

Many other parents were also involved with fundraising and projects to support the grad class.

them with a safe celebration. They need to know that they can have a great time without drinking.”

WHAT TO DRINK TO BEAT THE HEAT! I love blended coffee drinks. I have definitely classified it as a vice for me. Frappucinos, Mochachillos, Bean Blasts, Kikkers, Coffee Frappes, Iced Capps and many other names for blended coffee drinks have been uttered by me when my turn came at the ordering counter at a number of cafes. What better way to stay cool on a warm day than with a blended (or sometimes just iced) coffee drink? All of this does come into conflict with my education, however. While the above are cold, they are not the best way to stay cool when the summer heat stays for a spell and this is why: 1. Fat - Many blended coffee drinks are made with milk or yogurt or ice cream. Your body temperature will rise when digesting fat (or protein) and this process also uses a lot of your body’s water which could leave you dehydrated. That can be dangerous when it gets really hot. 2. Sugar - These drinks can be pretty sweet which will cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels. Your poor little pancreas will have to crank out insulin to deal with it and either feed the sugar to cells to make energy, which raises body temp and uses water for digestion, or it will just store the sugar in fat cells (unhealthy weight gain). 3. Caffeine - A stimulant. It will act as a diuretic, ridding your body of much needed valuable water (dehydration again!). It will cause your body temperature to increase as it is thermogenic. Thermogenisis has been marketed as a positive thing for weight loss, but much of that weight can be water rather than fat, again because of the stimulant/diuretic effect (which can also lead to increased heart rate/blood pressure). That’s quite the hat trick of bad news there. The upshot of all this is as a method of staying cool in extreme heat, blended coffee drinks are better poured down your shirt rather than your throat. Cold water will hydrate you without any stimulant or diuretic effect. Drinking enough water prevents water retention as well (speak to your doctor if you have kidney issues). Not to mention we avoid the absorption of fat and sugar stored as fat. To that end you’ll probably still see me ordering a blended coffee drink during the warm months as a treat, but not a means of staying hydrated. If dehydration is an issue or risk, I also recommend using a product like Hydralyte with your water to keep your electrolytes at a healthy level without taking in a lot of sugar. Many sports drinks contain electrolytes but also a not-so-healthy dose of sugar. Talk to your doctor or a member of the Live Well team at Pharmasave about how you can beat the heat and stay hydrated. ~ Dan Cassidy, Nutritional Product Advisor

“We want them to have a memorable evening with their friends,” added Collette Shanner, who plans the entertainment for the party. The Dry Grad Committee is made up of parents as well as students. They have met once a month throughout the school year. Much of their time and energy has gone into the substantial number of fundraising events they

have held. Some of these included bottle drives, manure sales, the delivery of InfoTel directories, coffee sales, teas, bake sales and face painting. “The grads stepped up and have given their time as well as the parents,” Planiden said. Committee member Misty McDonald made requests for donations from local businesses and purchased prize items with the cash dona-

tions. Serving as treasurer, Hayley Fisher looked after all of the money raised, cashing and depositing cheques. These efforts combined with those of other committee members, resulted in the dry grad party that was held at the high school last Friday night. The party lasted until the wee hours of Saturday morning. Once the doors

were opened students were let in, with parents acting as security, making sure the event would remain alcohol free. If students chose to leave the party, they were not allowed back in. Entertainment and activities for the evening included a hypnotist, laser tag and other games handled by a party company out of Vancouver. All of the points that customers had donated at their local grocery store, went towards the cost of having fruit, vegetable and cheese platters for students to snack on. Pizza was also donated and delivered to the party and non-alcoholic beverages were provided. Prizes were given out at the end of the night, so that everyone went home with something. “The event was a huge success and the kids had a great time,” said Planiden. “This couldn’t have happened without all of the support of the businesses in Summerland. How very, very generous they have been in terms of donations, prizes, and cash and with letting us use their venues. They

have just been so supportive.” As for all the hard work that goes into organizing fundraisers and planning the party, Jacquie Foley said, “It’s been fun watching them grow up. They’ve evolved. I see this as that last gift we can give our kids before we send them out the door.” Planiden said she felt like she got to know everyone a little better through it all. “It’s an amazing group of parents and an amazing group of kids,” she said. She also believes that the quote “It takes a village to raise a child” is true. “Summerland is that village and better than many many other places. It’s a phenomenal environment for kids to grow up in,” she said. It is her hope, that in communicating about the work done by this year’s Dry Grad Committee, that it will help future grad classes to have and enjoy similar celebrations.

Grade 5 graduation

Parents of Grade 5 students at Trout Creek Elementary School organized a graduation ceremony at Peach Orchard Beach on June 24. The ceremony, which included certificates, a balloon release and refreshments, was organized to end the students’ elementary school experience on a positive note.

Top B.C. athletes to compete at games Continued from Page 1

Dufty, 14, has been a track and field athlete since she was nine years old. She said she enjoys the field events in which she competes because of the technical skill involved. “They’re very difficult to learn,” she said. “I like the challenge.” Haley Berrisford, a triathlete, will compete in aquathon, duathlon and triath-

lon at the games. Aquathon involves a 300-metre swim followed by a one-kilometre run. Duathlon has a one-kilometre run, a three-kilometre bicycle ride and another one-kilometre run. Triathlon has a 400metre swim, a 10-kilometre bike ride and a three-kilometre run. Berrisford, 14, has done triathlons since she was five years old.

“I’ve always enjoyed it,” she said. “I love racing and competing in any sport.” She added that the B.C. Games will have a high level of competition in all her events. Of the components which make up her events, she said her strongest skill is in swimming and her weakest is in running. As a result, she anticipates the duath-

lon will be her biggest challenge. Myah Nackoney will compete in swimming at the games. She has done well in fly and freestyle, and she expects to compete in a few relays as well. She has ben involved in swimming for the past eight years. Earlier, her older sister Payton also competed in swimming at the B.C.

Games. In addition to the three Summerland athletes, Blair Dufty of Summerland will be one of three coaches on the team. More than 3,200 participants from around B.C. have registered for the games. This number includes 2,500 athletes, more than 500 coaches and 200 officials. The athletes will compete in 19 sports. The B.C. Games

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Firing Your Client Sometimes in a Lawyer's career he or she is faced with the rare decision to fire a client. Yes, you read that right, not the client changing counsel but the Lawyer firing a client. In a recent situation on the Prairies, 37 Regina lawyers refused to act for a person because his reputation as a very bad client had preceded him. In that case the person had numerous Lawyers in the past and had gain a reputation as being completely uncontrollable. There are many reasons why a Lawyer may consider this drastic step. Normally, it involves lack of payment of the Lawyer's bill. Lawyer's, just like everyone else have the right to be paid for their services and can refuse to act when they are not paid on a timely basis. Occasionally though the reason for refusing to act stems directly from the client's attitude or conduct. The Law Society of B.C. has set up rules on how Lawyers disengage themselves from clients when involved in litigation. Timing is very important and preventative measures are in place to ensure that no party is unduly prejudiced by the withdrawal.

our pick

Athletic achievement Later this month, three Summerland athletes will compete at the B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo, facing some of the best young athletes from around the province. For each of these athletes, qualifying for the competitions has been the result of years of dedication to their sport. The efforts made by Hunter Dufty, Haley Berrisford and Myah Nackoney are impressive. Those who qualify for the games are among the top in British Columbia in their various sports. The three are not the only Summerlanders to show a level of commitment and dedication to sport and fitness. In recent years, two Summerland athletes have competed at the Olympic level. Many more of all ages have qualified for provincial level competitions in a variety of sports over the past year, whether in youth sports or at the B.C. Senior Games. Stories of athletic achievements from Summerlanders continue to appear, despite ongoing national and international warnings about lifestyle-related health issues including obesity and the chronic effects of an inactive lifestyle. The commitment to health and fitness shown by these three athletes and others will help them avoid lifestyle-related health problems in the future. While the B.C. Summer Games are an amazing opportunity for Summerland’s top young athletes, the games also demonstrate the value of an ongoing commitment to health and fitness. These stories of outstanding athletic achievement and others should serve as an inspiration for all and should encourage others to develop and maintain a healthy, active lifestyle.

On Friday, 123 Summerland Secondary School students received their high school diplomas. Over the years, many have excelled in academics, sports, the arts and other areas. The dedication which has brought them through high school will serve them well as they pursue various goals in the years to come.

Life after the Tsilhqot’in decision VICTORIA – The Supreme Court of Canada’s landmark decision on aboriginal title held by the Tsilhqot’in Nation leaves many questions to be answered. Perhaps the biggest is this: Will British Columbia exist as we know it today by the end of this century? Or will it devolve into dozens of semi-autonomous regions, through treaties or similar Tom Fletcher court actions, as the only Canadian province that never completed historic treaties? The Tsilhqot’in decision appears to uphold the key finding of the 2007 trial, that 1,700 square kilometres of the Nemiah Valley west of Williams Lake are essentially owned by the people who occupied it hundreds if not thousands of years ago. It’s not quite ownership. Federal and provincial jurisdiction still applies, and their authority varies with the strength of the aboriginal title claim. Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin ruled that the province overstepped its authority by issuing logging permits in the valley in 1983. McLachlin noted that lawyers for B.C. first argued that the logging was to control mountain pine beetle, then dropped that argument in its first appeal. She also upheld the deci-

sion of the trial judge, one-time NDP leadership contender David Vickers, who rejected B.C.’s position that the economic value of the timber to the province overrode the then-vaguely defined aboriginal title. Here’s McLachlin’s definition: “The nature of aboriginal title is that it confers on the group that holds it the exclusive right to decide how land is used and the right to benefit from those uses, subject to the restriction that the uses must be consistent with the group nature of the interest and the enjoyment of the land by future generations.” That’s not land ownership in the fee-simple sense of the term. It locks in communal ownership, which I and many others have argued is at the root of the poverty seen in many aboriginal communities. Another big question: Is there any future for B.C.’s 20-year-old treaty process, or will this precedent-setting case send more First Nations to court, or to the barricades as the Tsilhqot’in did on a logging road in 1983? One of the unique advantages that have emerged from the handful of modern treaties in B.C. is that aboriginal communities have more options in land ownership. By voluntary agreement, they can convert land to feesimple ownership, making it available for mortgage or sale. Modern treaty holders also

get out from under the federal Indian Act, which remains in force despite this latest decision. One of the big questions asked in the days after the Tsilhqot’in decision was this: Is the Northern Gateway pipeline project dead? None of the aboriginal communities along the pipeline route has this kind of declared aboriginal title. Few if any would have a similar strength of claim as the Tsilhqot’in, who fought a small war to defend their territory from a wave of gold seekers in the 1860s. One that does is the Haida Nation, whose occupation of a beautiful group of islands was long defended militarily, and never challenged by any other aboriginal group. Among others, the Haida Nation was represented in the Tsilhqot’in case as interveners. Council of the Haida Nation president Peter Lantin said after the decision that his team is preparing its own aboriginal title case for trial. Few doubt that this assertion of title will be successful, either by negotiation or court ruling. But there is a unique aspect to the Haida claim that would set another precedent. They claim title to the ocean around Haida Gwaii, a challenge to anyone wishing to sail tankers through. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

bad apples As highway traffic increases during the summer months and especially on long weekends, it becomes more important to drive carefully to avoid accidents. Despite repeated warnings and safety messages, police and rescue workers are still called to too many accidents resulting from distracted or impaired driving. A moment of carelessness while driving can have tragic consequences.

THE EARLY YEARS

Fresh from the tree

You won’t often see fruit pickers in Summerland orchards wearing long skirts and carrying tin buckets, but in 1910 when a lady needed apples, she usually went to the source. Mr. Dale’s surplus apples likely became much appreciated pies in several homes. If you have more fruit on your trees than you can use or want to deal with, don’t let it go to waste. The Summerland Fruit Tree Project connects volunteer pickers with tree owners and gets the fruit to organizations in the community who need fresh produce. If you’d like to help pick, rest assured—vintage costumes are not required. To register your tree or to volunteer please call 250-494-9722.

Thanks to Summerland royalty members Dear Editor: On behalf of the Penticton Regional Bridge Tournament, I would like to thank the Summerland royalty, Taylor Arkesteyn, Julia Belmonte, Brianna Ure and Makenzie Vandertoolen for their invaluable help at the Hospitality Desk during our recent event. It was remarked on by many how they

added a breath of sunshine with their pretty smiles and assistance. The Summerland Princess Competition and Karen Hooper (who arranged for their attendance) should be justly proud of these lovely young ambassadors. Anne Leechman Hospitality Convenor 2014 Regional Bridge Tournament Penticton

Pipeline feeding our addiction for oil Dear Editor: The proposed Northern Gateway pipeline is going to go in, according to the federal government. I have to ask our government: Can we drink oil? What about our right to vote? It seems every time the government really wants something we don’t get to have a voice. B.C. has some of the last pristine, natural areas left in the world. The west coast

of B.C. is unique on earth. Every year thousands of people come here to observe the impressive natural beauty of our amazing province. They say the pipeline will be safe. Right! So therefore no tanker is unsinkable and no pipeline is unbreakable, dream on. We all know the disastrous effects would be irreparable. The unique features of the north-

west coastline would make an oil spill cleanup extremely difficult. The profit we will gain from this project is short term and small in comparison to the long-term effect of the damage to our environment and the precious natural resources that will be wiped out in the process. We as a country should invest heavily in renewable energy resources to protect the environment and the resources we

have left. This can also create jobs and stability to our economy not just a pipeline. I really hope we can find a way to break free from our addiction to oil, and I use it too, just like you. The Northern Gateway Pipeline is not going to make up

for the damage it will cause, just putting it in alone is going to destroy beautiful natural areas that are irreplaceable and that is before an oil spill. There has to be another way! I really hope the government will reconsider. Annemarie Krenger Penticton

Alumnus studies disease treatments by John Arendt

A science entrepreneur who grew up in Summerland is working on treatments for Parkinson’s Disease and Huntington’s Disease. Joost Schulte graduated from Summerland Secondary School in 1988 and has since completed a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry and cell biology and a Ph.D. in genetics and neuroscience from the University of British Columbia. He was a staff scientist at EnVivo Pharmaceuticals in Watertown, Massachusetts for two years, where he was the lead inventor on one of the company’s first patents. He and Katharine Sepp co-founded Oxalys Pharmaceuticals, based on discoveries they made at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Their work today is on treatments for neurodegenerative

disorders such as Huntington’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Their experimental therapeutic for Huntington’s disease was discovered because of its capacity to stimulate brain cell growth, and survival. In treating Huntington’s disease, this drug could potentially delay disease onset as well as treating symptoms. “This works in animal models,” he said. “Now we have to show it functions the same way in patients.” He added that the drug is not a cure for the disease. “The patients will still carry the Huntington’s mutation.” A Parkinson’s disease treatment in development may also delay disease onset, although more research is still needed. This drug eliminates toxic proteins that cause the disease. “Preliminary

studies are incredibly exciting as they show great promise,” he said. Since Oxalys Pharmaceuticals works with repurposing existing drugs, the development is much faster than if the drugs are developed from the beginning. Immediate next steps for Oxalys are to complete a Phase I clinical trial for their Huntington’s therapeutic. Schulte said it will be the first drug they are bringing to the market and in a bestcase scenario it could be on the market in five years although timelines are difficult to predict with certainty. In addition to the pharmaceutical research, Schulte said part of his work is in raising the necessary funds for the work. The company has used government research and development grants and private invest-

ment money to conduct their product development.

Recently, Oxalys won grants from the Michael J. Fox

Foundation and the National Research Council of Canada,

as well as an award from the Ontario Brain Institute.

rino said the partnership with the province can make the trail proposal a reality. “This is about being leaders,” she said. “The money is there. It’s designated for trails. If this is what it takes to be leaders in the field, let’s do it.” The resolution was approved unanimously.

The proposed trail would be suitable for pedestrians and cyclists. Organizers have said a valley-wide trail could serve as a tourism draw for Summerland and other Okanagan community. At present, there has been interest in the trail from numerous communities in the Okanagan.

Summerland hosts roller derby It will be an evening of fast-paced action as roller derby comes to the Summerland Arena on Saturday evening. The South Okanagan Roller Derby Association team, the Penticton Pistoleras, will face a Vancouver team on July 5 beginning at 6:30 p.m. Vicki Scott, who uses the name Upsy Crazy when competing, is the only Summerland player on the team. She explained that roller derby involves two teams with five skaters at a time on the course. One player on each team, the jammer, scores points by lapping members of the opposing team. The rest of the team members assist their jammer while also hindering the

opposing jammer. Each team’s jammer can be identified by stars on her hel-

met. Scott said roller derby is a full-contact sport which also

requires a lot of planning. “It’s a little bit rough and tumble,”

she said. “It’s a fastpaced game with a lot of strategy.” The sport also

requires a lot of speed and endurance from the players. The roller derby season runs from May to July, when the ice is out of area arenas, but Scott said training continues throughout the year. Among women, roller derby is the fastest growing sport in North America. She said there are around 100 leagues

in Canada, with 50 in British Columbia alone. The South Okanagan team has faced teams from Kelowna, Kamloops, Revelstoke, Vancouver and Whistler. She said the sport is growing in part because of the action it provides and in part because of its culture, including the derby names and alter egos for the players.

NILSON

November 14, 1917 - June 15, 2014

Born in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, second youngest of

five girls born to William and Caroline Agar. Educated in a one room schoolhouse in Lilac, Saskatchewan. Graduated at 17 and went on to obtain a Nursing degree from Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton, whereafter she was offered a scholarship with the VON. Bobby moved to the Kootenays to nurse in Nelson BC and married Glen in 1948. They built a lovely home together in Bonnington Falls where they lived for 39 years. In 1997 Bobby moved to Summerland to be near family. Bobby and sister Florence travelled to China, Hawaii, Alaska, Mexico, Greece and Turkey. Bobby loved the outdoors - hiking, camping and fishing. She always lent a hand to others. She was a great cook and baked delicious bread, buns and a family favourite, cherry tarts. She took pride in being well informed although she was frustrated with her IPad at times. She loved playing cards and board games with family. Up to the end Bobby did Tai Chi and enjoyed a daily walk by the lake. Predeceased by husband Glen and sisters, Nora, Lena and Mabel. Greatly loved and missed by sister Florence McLachlan and family.

William John McCuaig Our dear Billie died Friday, June 20th, 2014 at home, at the age of 64, predeceased by his loving parents Ian and Marion McCuaig. This comes as a sudden and sad shock for those of us who knew Bill as a vibrant, gentle and wholehearted person. Bill was born and raised in Summerland, BC along with his sisters Mary, Nancy and Margaret. He worked in the orchards, hiked in the hills, swam in the creeks, graduated from Summerland Secondary School and went on to study forestry. His deep and abiding love of trees and the land led him to complete his Masters in Forestry at UBC. In his eighteen years with the District of West Vancouver as Community Forester, Bill was most happy outside: in the old growth, in our parks, cleaning up logs with a backhoe on West Vancouver beaches or advising residents on urban bear issues. One of the other communities he touched was the Squamish Nation in North Vancouver. He co-founded and built a traditional medicinal garden there with community elders and youth. Whatever the subject – human rights, medicinal plants, forests, trees, wildlife, or hydrology - Bill touched people with his integrity, infectious passion, his wit, and his ability to craft a good story. We will miss you, Bill, for your depth of insight, vast knowledge, sense of humour, huge compassion, and caring heart. You will be lovingly remembered by family, colleagues, and many, many friends who hold you dear in their hearts. A celebration of Bill’s life was held July 2, 2014.
