John Arendt Summerland Review
Narinder Hundle of Sandhu Fruit Farm in Summerland shows some of the season’s fresh fruit at the Summerland Country Market on Tuesday morning. Markets are held each week on Tuesday morning on Kelly Avenue and on Friday evening on Victoria Road North.
The rate structure is in place for Summerland’s domestic water metering, although minor adjustments may be needed. The metering bylaw is expected on the next municipal council agenda, at the Aug. 25 meeting. The domestic metering system, which comes into effect on Jan. 1, has water rates based on the size of the property and the amount of water needed for irrigation at various times of the year. “We’ve created an absolutely unique system.” said municipal administrator Tom Day. “We’re at the very forefront of water metering.” Creating this system has been a long and complex process. The municipality has been working on a water metering system since at least 2009 and during that time, several metering models have been considered. The municipality has also had numerous open houses and information sessions about the metering options. “It is the finest rate structure I have seen,” said Don Darling, director of engineering and public works for the municipality. He said he has noticed a decrease in water use since the meters were installed, even though homes are still billed for flat rate water use. At present, around 20 residential properties still do not have meters installed. Day urges homeowners with questions about metering to contact the municipal public works department. Those who do not have the meters need to get them installed this year. “By Jan. 1, all water needs to be metered,” he said. “If you have unmetered water, someone else is paying for it.” Mayor Janice Perrino said the process has been long and difficult. “To say this is an uncomplicated issue is just wrong,” she said.
Summerland wines honoured by John Arendt
Two Summerland wines were among 12 recognized in the 2014 Lieutenant Governor’s Awards for Excellence in
British Columbia Wines. On Friday, Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon made presentations at 8th Generation Vineyard for Riesling 2012 and at Okanagan Crush Pad Winery
for Haywire Canyonview Pinot Noir 2011. “The outstanding quality of wines in British Columbia impresses our wine judges each year and makes the selection
increasingly difficult,” Guichon. said. “This year’s winners represent the best of the exceptional wines from our province.” This is the 12th year the
wine awards have been presented. Jamie Hammond, private secretary to Guichon, said the entries were all of a high quality. See WINES Page 2

It was my daughter’s big day. Aware that I was experiencing some hearing loss, I was anxious about communicating in a noisy environment. Most importantly, I didn’t want to miss a word of her precious wedding vows. With just a week before the wedding, I scheduled a hearing test at the Penticton clinic. Audiologist Stephanie Sykes conducted a very thorough series of tests and after explaining my results, she recommended the Alta Pros™ by Oticon for my specific lifestyle needs. The exhilaration I experienced with my regained sense of hearing was only surpassed by the joy of giving my daughter away to the man of her dreams! Thank you for your professional care!
“The wines are getting better and better every year,” he said. “It’s been quite an honour to get such a unique recognition for our wine,” said Bernd Schales, who owns 8th Generation Vineyard with his wife Stefanie. They started working with wine in Canada 11 years ago, in 2003 and started their winery in 2007. Christine Coletta, who owns Okanagan Crush Pad with her husband Steve Lornie, said the wine was the first they created. “These were some of the very first grapes that came in here,” she said. She added that the staff at Okanagan Crush Pad deserve thanks for making an award-winning wine. All B.C. wineries were invited to submit their wines. A total of 436 wines from 119 wineries were entered. Members of the Consular Corps of British Columbia accompanied Guichon as she made the
A Main Street bistro will have a new name and a new chef beginning in August. Andrew Roper, a chef with 26 years of experience around the world, has bought Wagon Wheel Bistro. The name will change to Drew’s Kitchen and the decor will be changed. Monique Paul, owner of Wagon Wheel Bistro, said the menu will be much the same as the existing restaurant menu. The staff will also remain. “There’s not going
to be much change,” Paul said. “Just the decor is going to be changing.” She said Roper will emphasize local foods. He makes his own sausage and is committed to using locally fresh items as much as possible. Paul set up the bistro five years ago and thanks the community for supporting the business since that time. “It’s just been a wonderful five years,” she said. “We’ve had so much laughter here.”

Athletes earn medals at B.C Games by John Arendt
Summerland athletes enjoyed strong performances at the B.C. Games in Nanaimo earlier this
month. The games brought 2,500 B.C. athletes together for competition in 19 sports. Track and field
athlete Hunter Dufty, triathlete Haley Barrisford and swimmer Myah Nackoney all took part in the provincial competitions.
Dufty finished with a third-place finish in shot put, a second-place finish in discus and a fifthplace finish in javelin.
“I was hoping I would do better in shot put,” she said. In August, Dufty will compete in track and field at the
national level. “I’m hoping to get onto the podium there,” she added. Haley Berrisford finished with two seventh-place finishes in triathlon and aquathon, a 10th-place finish in the girls’ super sprint triathlon and an 11th-place finish in duathlon. “It was a really great experience,” she said following the competition. Before going to the games, she had set a goal of finish-
ing in the top half in her events. In one of the events, she also was the first out of the water. Berrisford plans to continue her triathlon efforts and plans to do longer distances, including the Challenge Penticton competition in future years. Myah Nackoney finished sixth in the 100 metre backstroke. Nackoney could not be reached for comment by press time.

Parent picket
Linnea Good and David Jonsson set up a parent picket on Jubilee Road West near Summerland Middle School. Good wants a resolution to the ongoing teacher dispute before the scheduled start of the school year in early September.
Parent picket urges resolution in ongoing teacher dispute A Summerland parent wants the province and the teachers’ union to resolve the labour dispute now, during the summer and before the school year is scheduled to begin in September. On Monday morning, Linnea Good set up a parent picket on Jubilee Road West near Summerland Middle School. The picket will remain in place every morning this week. “Don’t take a vacation from this,” Good said. The existing strike began in March, when teachers voted 89 per cent in favour of job action. They had been without a contract since June, 2013. The first phase of the job action began
in late April, when teachers refused to supervise students outside of class time and refused to communicate in writing with administrators. Rotating strikes took effect in late May. The full-scale strike began in June.
It has not yet been resolved. Because the strike is continuing, there are questions about whether the start of the school year in early September will be delayed. As a result, there are also questions about whether spe-
cial activities will be cancelled this year. “To see my kids headed into high school, not knowing if anything they’ve planned is going to happen, that’s going to hurt,” she said. Good said her parent picket is not intended as a parti-
san statement nor as a way to side with either side in the ongoing dispute. She said the dispute is not only affecting students, parents and teachers; it is also taking a toll on the provincial economy as a result of the uncertainty.

Because genetic research and the recent advances in that field have the actual power to change life as we know it, it is critical that Society as a whole and the Legal community insure that the proper safeguards are in place. The questions raised in this area do not have easy answers and people's views on those questions are affected by many different influences. This makes it very difficult to provide a Legal framework for how the advances can be used and developed. One thing we do know however, is that the advances and questions will keep coming.

Measuring water The transition from a flat rate for water consumption to a metering system looks easy at first glance, but in Summerland the process has been long and complex. Next month, the rate structure will come before municipal council. The rates are to take effect on Jan. 1. For the past five years, municipal council and staff have considered various billing models in order to be fair to all residential water users. Some of the options have included a base rate with surcharges for those who use excessive amounts, a system which charges users a constant rate for every litre and a number of models where the per litre cost increases for those who use excessive amounts of water. The model which will come before council has surcharges for excess water use, but the amount of water allowed before those higher rates take effect will vary from month to month, in order to accommodate domestic irrigation needs. The size of a property is also considered when determining the amount of water allowed before higher rates take effect. While the discussions about the various metering models have been complicated and frustrating at times, a change from the present flat rate structure has been needed for some time. Under the present structure, all single family homes are charged the same amount for water, even if one uses considerably more than another. Such a system does nothing to encourage conservation or responsible water use. This is unacceptable, especially in a dry climate. Once the metering system is in place next year, it will be possible to determine if there are small adjustments to the rates needed. However, the time and effort taken to create this billing model should address most if not all the possible areas of concern.
Two Summerland wineries have received accolades for winemaking excellence. W i n e s from 8th Generation Vineyard and Okanagan Crush Pad Winery were among 12 B.C. wineries chosen in the 2014 Lieutenant Governor’s Awards for Excellence in British Columbia Wines. A total of 436 wines from 119 wineries were entered in this year’s competition.
In defence of younger drivers VICTORIA – A recent column on the B.C. government’s decision to raise speed limits on portions of rural highways excited numerous comments from readers. Some questioned my suggestion that today’s new drivers are worse because they spend their formative years staring at screens in the back seat instead of looking out the window and Tom Fletcher grasping the grim physics of the real world. There is no doubt that B.C.’s graduated licensing system for new drivers is more difficult than what my generation faced. Those vehicle stickers with the “L” (for learner, or as teens prefer “loser”) and “N” (for novice, or in teen-speak “nerd”) have been around since 1998. The two steps make getting a full driver’s licence a longer, more difficult and expensive process. Statistics provided by ICBC show what new drivers are up against. First there is the written “knowledge test” to obtain a learner’s permit. From 2004 to 2008, more than half of applicants failed in their first attempt. Things improved in subsequent years, with a 46-per-cent failure rate in 2009 declining to 42 per cent by 2013. The first road test is required
to go from “L” to “N” and it seems sufficiently harsh. The failure rate has been consistently around 47 per cent in the past six years. More practice and another $35 are required to try again. Students fare better on the second road test, where the failure rate has consistently been 21-22 per cent for the past decade. ICBC reports that in the first three years of the graduated licence program, the new driver crash rate dropped by 16 per cent. In 2003 the required learner and novice period were extended, and restrictions on the novice stage were increased. New driver crashes fell by another 28 per cent. Those restrictions include the number of passengers and a “zero tolerance” for alcohol. Impaired crash and injury statistics aren’t available for drivers in the graduated licence program, only fatalities. They grew as more new drivers were enrolled in the new system, to a high of 24 in 2007, but that declined to 14 by 2012. There will always be young people who drive impaired, speed or make other fatal errors. But it’s difficult to argue that today’s system in B.C. is lenient. A couple of readers were concerned about the effect of higher rural speed limits on older drivers. One suggested that higher limits on rural highways are a poor mix with vacationing
seniors hauling around oversized motorhomes, trailers and boats. Another cited the coming wave of retired baby boomers and added a likely increase in marijuana-impaired drivers, all emboldened by the invitation to drive faster. B.C.’s medical health officers issued a letter denouncing the decision by Transportation Minister Todd Stone to raise speed limits. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the research is clear that higher speeds increase the risk and severity of incidents. Then there is the government’s own position, articulated in a road safety strategy released last year by Attorney General Suzanne Anton. “Research is conclusive that at higher speeds, more people are killed and injured in the traffic system,” it states. “At lower speeds, fewer are killed and injured as a direct result of the safety buffer that lowered speeds create.” The strategy notes that new technologies such as adaptive cruise control are becoming available. B.C. is also testing electronic highway speed limit signs that change with weather and traffic conditions. Next comes self-driving vehicle systems, so drivers will be able to check their phones again. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @ tomfletcherbc.

culls
The rain last week provided some relief from the hot and dry conditions we have experienced this summer, but the fire danger has not yet passed. Despite the rain, this week’s temperatures are into the 30s once again and if past years are any indication, dry conditions could extend into the fall. The fire danger rating in much of this area is high and the forecast calls for hot, sunny weather to continue. This is no time for complacency. The risk of wildfires continues.

Enforcement needed for vehicle noise Dear Editor: Politicians have deregulated public safety in the Okanagan valley. When motor vehicles are manufactured, they have to meet very strict safety standards, including maximum allowable noise levels. Those standards do not change when the vehicles roll off the automakers assembly lines. In the Okanagan valley we have experienced a huge increase in the number of cars with obnoxious,
ear-splitting boom boxes, power boats with inadequate or no mufflers, motorbikes with flowthrough pipes, and pick-ups trucks with after-market exhaust systems customized to make even more noise! The bylaws have been in place for years, and they are as relevant today as they were at the time they were adopted. Because these issues are not being addressed, many Okanagan valley drivers have
developed some aggressive attitudes that have left our streets and highways unsafe. The daily exposure to those high noise levels represents nothing less than a daily assault on public safety as well as our quality of life. It has to stop. The RCMP is responsible for public safety, but they are waiting for a green light from our politicians to be allowed to do their job. Andy Thomsen Summerland
Dear Editor: The public are being gouged and siphoned by the oil companies. The oil companies say it is all about supply and demand. Yes, they supply petroleum then demand ransom. Oil insiders say unison in prices is proof of the free market. In a free market there would be companies boosting sales by dropping prices. Competition is an illusion. All Canadians own the oil resource. The federal government lets the private oil companies grab the oil. After giving the companies generous subsidies, tax write-offs and loopholes the federal government gets only about eight per cent
of the oil company revenues through income tax. The federal government should be getting a lot more taxes and fees from the private oil companies for our oil. Instead, it recovers the subsidies and tax gifts given to oil companies by cutting services, benefits and raising taxes to all Canadians. Norway doesn’t need private foreignowned oil companies and their executives to run Norway’s oil industry. Because of its publicly run oil industry, Norway has a surplus fund of $700 billion US. In contrast, siphoned by the privatized oil industry, Canada sinks deeper into massive debt. As shareholders of their oil industry, Norwegians reap dir-
ect benefits. They live carefree with social benefits almost free like medicare, dental care, pharmacare, child day care and university education. Norway even provides free university education to any student from anywhere around the world. In Canada, the privatized oil industry gets generous corporate welfare while many university students struggle working at three jobs to pay tuition fees and debts. Why not give the government an ultimatum that you want Canada to advance and be like Norway where the people run their own oil industry or you will find or form a political party that will?

In 1907 this shady little trail led to Summerland’s first municipal park. Formerly part of George Barclay’s orchards, specifically peaches, a hall was built there and the park became the community gathering place for events such as dances and the Fall Fair. The first major roadway through the Okanagan went right past the park and it seemed a natural transition when it became Peach Orchard Auto Camp. Obviously it was a good idea as, over one hundred years later, Peach Orchard Park is still a popular destination for “Auto Campers.” By now the pine trees there must smell like toasted marshmallows.
Teachers have been misrepresented Dear Editor: I have contemplated whether or not to comment on the job action that is being executed by the B.C. Teachers Federation through striking. I was involved on more than one occasion in this practice as a last resort standing against government
restraint. And I know full well I will be damned by my ex-comrades for my input. As a former School District 67 employee I feel I am living a fairly comfortable retirement, thanks to the many hardships and negotiations we endured through the
70s and 80s, I can honestly say the tactics and strategy currently being undertaken by the powers that be are underhanded to say the least. Teachers have always had the short end of the stick as far as being misrepresented in the public eye, as working eight hours a day,
and just nine months out the year. As a former custodian I have to beg to differ and set the record straight regarding that misconception. Teachers are so dedicated as to label them habitual workaholics. In the 28 years of my job experience,
whether waxing floors, refurbishing gym floors, shampooing carpets, etc., there was no way of deterring the teachers from their workplace. Some of them were obsessed with class preparation and last minute details. So for all those frustrated parents whose
so-called baby-sitters are on strike, don’t be so selfish. Is it that long ago you had that extra half hour with your teacher because you were hung up on a subject or problem? How soon we forget. Andy Homan Penticton

A lightning strike on the afternoon of July 23 resulted in a wildfire just outside Summerland’s boundary in the Garnett Valley area. Following this fire, rain helped to bring temporary relief to the fire danger rating in the region, but the hot and dry temperatures have since returned.

Rain brings relief for firefighters Rainfall on Wednesday afternoon and Thursday helped to bring a temporary reduction in the fire risk in Summerland and the surrounding area. The rain started on July 23 around 3 p.m. By the following morning, 12 millimetres had fallen. “It’s a reprieve for now,” said Summerland fire chief Glenn Noble, “ but 12 mm isn’t a whole lot.” The campfire ban implemented on July 16 and the closure of Giant’s Head Mountain Park to vehicle traffic on July 18 both remain in place. Noble said the park will remain closed to vehicle traffic until after the weekend. The fire department will reevaluate the risk this week.
While the rain has helped to reduce the fire hazard, a lightning strike on Wednesday afternoon resulted in a wildfire on a hillside in the Garnett Valley area. Flames from the fire were visible from the road. The fire reached a size of around 93 square metres. “It was difficult to access but the guys made their way out there,” Noble said. Forestry crews also arrived to battle the blaze, which was 100 metres outside Summerland’s boundaries. The fire was extinguished that evening. By the weekend, the hot and dry summer weather had returned to the region.
COUNCIL REPORT The regular meeting of municipal council was held on July 28 in council chambers. All council members except Mayor Janice Perrino were present.

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced. “The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.” Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

Meal program seeks drivers by John Arendt
Organizers of Summerland’s Meals on Wheels program would like to add a few more volunteer drivers to make deliveries. Charlotte Burley, coordinator of the program, said there are 26 drivers, but most will deliver the meals in pairs. “If we had half a dozen to a dozen more volunteers, it would make me really happy,” she said. “Right now we are not as flexible as I’d like us to be.” The program delivers lunches to around 30 clients in Summerland on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Delivering the meals on a tight schedule and over a wide area within the community is a challenge for the drivers. Burley schedules drivers to deliver meals one day a week, but some drivers are not available if they are away during the winter or hosting out-of-town visitors during the summer. As a result, instead of having three delivery routes, the volunteer drivers are sometimes sent Carla McLeod Special to the Review Sun safety to deliver the meals Volunteers with the Canadian Cancer Society, Nishat Tasnim and Alex in two routes. This Cloherty, were at Rotary Beach on Saturday. They had umbrellas set up results in rushed on the beach and were handing out pamphlets and sunscreen samples visits with the meal in order to help educate the public about sun safety and skin cancer.

Out for a drive
Lucille Scheidl, a volunteer driver with Summerland’s Meals on Wheels program, prepares to deliver meals to residents around the community. Program organizers are asking for additional volunteers to deliver the meals.
Burley said the contact with the recipients is one of the rewarding aspects of the drivers’ responsibilities.
“You meet some absolutely amazing people,” she said. “The clients are very appreciative and the personal touch is cru-
cial.” Those interested in volunteering as drivers are asked to contact Burley at 250494-1173.

Kripps prepares for summer bobsleigh Olympian will compete in Germany next month by Carla McLeod Special to the Review The winter Olympics are the farthest thing from one’s mind in the middle of a hot Okanagan summer. That is unless you spot Justin Kripps on the streets of downtown Summerland. The two-time Canadian Olympic bobsledder, who grew up in Summerland has been home visiting friends and family. Although he continues to train locally five days a week while he is here, it is a relaxing time for him. “It’s one of my favourite things about the summer, coming here for at least a couple of weeks,” said Kripps. “I’m really thankful to be from such a supportive community of great people. I always get lots of congratulations when I come back. People stop me on the street and ask me how I’m doing and talk about the season.” Kripps speaks of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics as a good experience.
Bobsleigh action
Summerland Review file photo
Summerland Olympic athlete Justin Kripps competed in the 2014 Winter Olympics earlier this year. Next month, he will compete in a summer bobsleigh event on pavement in Europe.
“We had some success and some problems, but for me at that point in my career as a driver, the goal of the season was to qualify for the Olympics,” he said. “My goal was to come inside the top ten if I qualified. That would have been an achievement in itself.” Once he got to the Olympics and started to do really well, his goals changed. “I took the approach that rather than be safe and come inside the top ten, we should just risk everything and go for the medals, so that is what we did,”
Kripps explained. “It was obviously a long shot but I’m happy we did it.” Unfortunately this decision resulted in a crash. Thankfully no one on the team was seriously injured. “As far as crashes go it was pretty run of the mill,” Kripps said. “Where it gets hard for a pilot is where you need to drive less, because every steer you make slows the sled down a little bit,” he explained. “You’re sort of on the edge of being in control and being in danger all the time, because that is how you go fast. We call it letting
the sled run. Controlling it the least you can without crashing. You have to be on the edge to be fast and to win medals.” After the crash the team did another run, starting off with a massive disadvantage. They didn’t have much of a chance of getting anything other than last place. “We came down in 10th place on that run,” Kripps said. “That is a testament to the crew still being able to push well and me being able to drive the track fast.” Kripps is looking forward to doing a summer road race in
Germany in the middle of August. “I’ve never actually driven a summer race bobsleigh before, so it’s going to be different,” he said. “It’s the first time they have invited a North American Pilot to the competition, so it’s a bit of an honour.” He explained that this race will be on pavement. Rather than steel runners on the bottom of the sled, that run on ice, there are a series of thick rubber wheels that look like a giant rollerblade. Speeds of more than 100 kilometres an hour are still reached with bumpers lining the
course to prevent a crash into the crowds. “I’ll take a few practise runs and then take the same attitude as in the Olympics…I’ll just go in and try and run the
thing and see what happens.” Kripps has been training since May and is looking forward to the upcoming World Cup Season. The circuit will take him to tracks in Calgary, Lake Placid, Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland and Russia. “We want to come out hard and establish ourselves as a podium team the next couple of years, so we have a lot of momentum and the experience of winning when we go into the next Olympics in 2018 in South Korea,” Kripps concluded. Kripps lives and trains in Calgary during the racing season and calls Vancouver home during the off season, but for now he’s soaking up the sunshine and enjoying his home town visit.

He is survived by his loving wife, Gladys, of 47 years; daughter Michele Murphy of Vernon; son Michael Murphy of Vernon; 3 granddaughters: Tasha, Vanessa and Alexah; 5 great-grandchildren: Jordan, Michael, Indiana, Tucker and Walker; 3 loving sisters: Sharon, Charlene and Michele; and many nieces, nephews and friends. His big smile, warm hugs and sense of humor will always be missed. His family and friends look forward to dancing with him again on the streets of heaven. Hasta Luego Amigo The Memorial Service for Butch will be held at Faith Baptist Church, 3908-27th Street, Vernon, on Saturday, August 9, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. Friends wishing to make memorial contributions may do so to North Okanagan Hospice Society or to the Cancer Society.

Roberta Jean Miles (nee Borton) Of Summerland, BC, passed away peacefully on July 20, 2014 at Prairie Valley Lodge, Summerland at the age of 97. Survived by her loving family: Daughters: Valerie (David) King of Wimborne, Dorset, England, Gillian (Fred) Lindsay of Summerland, Judith (Dale) Stevenson of Okanagan Falls, Grandchildren: Shannon (Dean) Stevenson of Whiterock; Matthew Stevenson of Ladner; Andrew (Claire Walker) Lindsay of Montreal; Joanne (David) Johnson of Bentonville, Arkansas, and Great Grandchildren: Jessica and Daniel Johnson and Isaac Lindsay. Predeceased by her husband, Ted (2009). Jean was born in Victoria, BC in December 1916 but from a very early age was raised in Poole, Dorset, England by her beloved grandfather Robert Foster and his wife Elizabeth. During her time in England (1921 – 1951) Jean met Ted Miles and they were married on Christmas Day in 1939. In 1951 along with their three daughters, (Valerie, Gillian and Judith) Jean and Ted emigrated to Summerland BC where Jean’s mother Margery Snow was living. Jean worked for the Income Tax Office in Penticton until retirement. She was an avid reader, a marvellous creator of knitted, sewn or embroidered crafts. Jean got great pleasure spending her time with the ladies of the St. Stephens Anglican Church Alter Guild creating many projects to enhance the Church and helping with Church events. She was an active member of the Ladies Auxiliary to the Royal Canadian Legion. As a loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother, she will be greatly missed. Funeral service will be held on July 31, 2014 at 2:00pm at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, 9311 Prairie Valley Road, Summerland with Reverend Rick Paulin officiating and Reverend John Briscall assisting. Interment will follow in the St. Stephen’s Garden of Remembrance. A tea will follow in Church Hall. Memorial Tributes: Donations in memory of Jean can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or Hope for Wildlife Society, 5909 Highway 207, Seaforth, NS B0J 1N0. Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com 250-494-7752.
HALE, MALINDA SYBIL (nee Munro) Born in Summerland October 7th, 1915; passed away peacefully at Penticton Regional Hospital July 14th, 2014 with family at her side. Predeceased by parents, Findlay & Violet Munro; husband, James Hale; brothers, Donald and Philip Munro; sisters, Sybil Brown and Winona Ellis. Survived by her daughter, Violet (Bill) Ward; son, Larry; grandchildren, Michael Ganzeveld (Melissa), Alison Childs (Paul), Chris Ward (Sarah); eight great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews—too many to list but loved deeply and unconditionally by “Granny”. Born to pioneer parents, young Malinda was known as “Lin” or “Linnie”. She was a true Canadian Frontier Woman, strong, tough, stubborn, independent, hardworking, yet kind, generous, warm, loyal, and always positive. Early life on the farm in Meadow Valley was demanding as Scottish Father and English Mother carved out a life for their five children. A log house was home, a rock fireplace was heat. A one room school and one teacher was early education. On the farm she herded cattle on the “Bald Range” on horseback, milked cows, pitched hay, chased bulls and carried fish in milk cans to stock Munro Lake (named after her Father). She still found time to play softball for Summerland riding 10 miles and back for each game. Time for mischief as she formed part of the Rattlesnake Gang with brothers Donald & Philip—they raided Summerland, riding in on horses, returning with their “loot” pineapple, candy and cigarettes (no money) stashing it in a cave above the school (they never got caught). After grade 12 and work in Summerland, where she met her one true love, James Hale, they married and had two children. After the war, she moved to Penticton, working hard physical jobs and finally landing at the old & new hospitals as a Practical Nurse for 30 years, where she touched many lives with her kindness and humour. She even chopped down the huge pine tree blocking the kids view of the Drive-In theatre (never got caught). She took early retirement to homecare her aging parents and after their passing she became known as “Granny” and continued her life of helping and sharing with everyone. She was never dull—as a union leader she drank beer in the Incola Hotel with Tommy Douglas—loved John Wayne movies yet had a special place in her heart for First Nations people and proudly rode her horse side by side with Billy Kruger in the first Penticton Peach Festival Parade. She will always be remembered for her passionate love of children and animals. A life of giving, a full life, a true warrior. No funeral by request—A Celebration of Life to be held at a later date. Special thanks to Dr. Watters, the staff at Penticton Hospital and Norlinda Amatorio. Memorial tributes may be directed to the BC SPCA (2200 Dartmouth Dr., Penticton, V2A4C2).

Weekly concerts planned for August The Summerland Community Arts Council is starting an exciting new community event this upcoming week called Wednesdays on the Water. We d n e s d a y s on the Water is a musical concert series that will happen every Wednesday night during the month of August at Spirit Square, Peach Orchard Beach (weather permitting). Concerts will run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and feature all local musicians. The community is invited to bring a picnic, a blanket and a lawn chair to enjoy an evening of local talent. There will be different groups per-
forming and different genres every week so that we have a little something for everyone to enjoy. The idea for Wednesdays on the Water started in early June after attending a Thompson Okanagan Network of Arts Councils (TONAC) meeting. We discovered that many Arts Councils in the Okanagan are organizing similar events for their communities during the summer. It is a great way to support local musicians and as for the SCAC, supports our mandate of promoting and facilitating the awareness and appreciation of the arts in the Summerland area.
ARTS PALETTE
Carmen McDowell The SCAC have partnered with a number of local businesses who are sponsoring these evenings of music and we are hoping to make this an annual event. Watch for our posters around town or check out our website summerlandarts.com for updated notifica-
tions of performers for this event. The Summer Arts Program for Kids ages three and up is still taking registrations. A new class of encaustics for kids has been added for student’s ages 10 and up, Aug. 5 to 8. Students participating will spend these four days learning many different ways to paint with pigmented beeswax using the encaustic painting iron and stylus. Bethany Handfield is a local encaustics artist and has been teaching classes with the SCAC for the past three years. She will be teaching studio safety when working with the hot wax and
each day students will go home with a completed painting
or craft. Carmen McDowell is the Summer Art
Program coordinator at the Summerland Arts Council.
