Library to enhance Main Street by John Arendt

Summerland’s new library building will have considerably more space than the existing building and it will provide easier accessibility, municipal council was told on Monday. At a Committee of the Whole meeting in the afternoon, architects and representatives of the Okanagan Regional Library outlined some of the details of the new facility. Shelley Craig of Vancouver-based Urban Arts Architecture said the one-

storey building, to be constructed on Main Street at Kelly Avenue, is designed to accommodate a variety of users. It will include a multipurpose room, accessible from the outside, as well as various spaces within the main part of the library. An outside readers’ terrace and green spaces have also been incorporated into the design. She said the building will enhance the block of Main Street between Kelly Avenue and Rosedale Avenue. “It’s another vendor

on the street,” she said. “There’s not much to attract people to that block right now.” While there are other businesses on that block, Mayor Janice Perrino said the library is a busy facility. According to library representatives, the library has 6,381 registered users and had 70,203 visitors pass through its doors in 2013. Municipal administrator Tom Day said the new building will be more accessible than the existing building, since it is all on one level. Unlike the present

library building, the new facility will not include an additional level with public meeting spaces. Day said the existing library building will remain in place after the new facility is opened. Coun. Bruce Hallquist said the new building will be the Okanagan Regional Library’s facility, not the municipality’s building. The cost of the building, estimated at $3.2 million, will be paid by the regional library system, not the municipality. The new facility, at 743 square metres, is more than twice the size of the

existing library at 316 square metres. Summerland’s existing library is less than half the size recommended to serve the community. Before construction can begin, the Summerland Design Committee will review the plans and municipal council must approve the proposal. The council approval is expected at the next municipal council meeting on Aug. 25. Work on the new facility is expected to begin by the fall, with completion expected by May 20, 2015.

Vehicle fire

Police and firefighters were called to a vehicle fire on Summerland Hill near Solly Road on Wednesday afternoon. Three trucks and 10 firefighters attended. The wind from the east blew the smoke and flames across the highway and away from the nearby trees. Summerland RCMP said mice may have chewed through wiring or hoses in the engine compartment, leading to the fire. The 1998 Nissan was destroyed as a result of the fire.

The fire danger rating in the area is high to extreme, but forestry officials continue to find abandoned campfires. Because of the dry conditions this summer, a campfire ban was put in place in mid-July, significantly earlier than usual. Since that time, firefighters have been called to control some fires caused by lightning strikes, but there

are also many fires caused by human activity. “We are seeing a lot of human-caused fires. We are still seeing a lot of abandoned campfires,” said Kelsey Winter, a fire information officer with the Kamloops Fire Centre. Winter said some of the campfires may have been started after recent rainfalls, by campers who thought the danger rating had dropped.

If dry conditions continue and if the danger rating increases, he said there is the possibility that the back country would be closed to the public.

Summer concert

Carla McLeod Special to the Review

William Okos and Deborah Lippmann entertained an estimated 140 at Spirit Square, Peach Orchard Beach on Wednesday evening. Dubbed as Wednesdays on the Water, this free concert series has been organized by the summer program coordinator for the Summerland Community Arts Council, Carmen McDowell. Each Wednesday in August will feature a different genre of music. People are invited to bring lawn chairs and come and enjoy the music as well as the beauty of this natural setting. Each week’s concert will have a different sponsor, with this first week’s sponsor being the Summerland Credit Union.

POLICE REPORT Tickets issued for liquor infractions

Police issued two tickets for liquor violations on the evening of Aug. 4. At 8 p.m., a 33-year-old Quebec man was charged with consuming liquor at Sunoka Beach. At 8:40 p.m., a 37-year-old Alberta man was issued a ticket for consuming liquor at Rotary Beach. The ticket for consuming liquor in a public space is $230.

Youths charged at waterfront

Five youths were issued tickets for consuming liquor in public following an incident at the Summerland Waterfront Resort on Aug. 5. The incident was reported at 11 p.m. Police say the five teenaged boys climbed the fence and consumed alcohol in the hot tub.

Youth assaulted with skateboard

On Aug. 6 at 12:40 a.m., police arrested two youths for an assault with a skateboard on Jubilee Road West at Sinclair Road. Police say the youths, one from Summerland and one from Alberta, assaulted another youth using a skateboard. The two will appear in court at a later date.

Funding a factor in election Continued from Page 1

“Many years ago Agriculture Canada offloaded responsibility for the gardens to Friends of the Gardens, but they have placed severe constraints on our ability to fundraise, because the gardens sit on federal land.” He added that the gardens society has financial commitments to its part-time staff. The gardens society is also moving to

a more contemporary philosophy, he said. There are donation boxes at the gardens, with a suggested donation of $5 per person, but when a traffic counter was installed, the society learned it receives less than $1 per vehicle through these boxes. The gardens is moving away from a traditional British garden model. “We are slowly moving a classical, British-empire style

garden into the new realities of water conservation, fewer chemical inputs and a more regionally appropriate selection of plantings,” said George Lerchs, a new member of the board. “And we will continue to work with Agriculture Canada and various funding agencies to maintain the Gardens as a wonderful Summerland tourist destination, as well as a learning resource.”

Liquor violations reported

The new board consists of Aaron Anderson as chair, Bev Krieger as secretary and Lerchs as treasurer, together

with Gayton, Daniel Mosquin and Gwen Steele. Gayton served on the board from 2009 to 2013.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Estate Litigation It is a sad sign of the times that Estate litigation is one of the fastest growing areas of law. This is partly due to the vast amount of wealth that the leading edge of the “Baby Boomers” is now transferring through to their offspring in their estates. Where money is involved unfortunately the bad side of human nature can take over. This wrongful behavior can take many forms, from one sibling taking over control of his or her parents affairs by a Power of Attorney and channeling the money to their own benefit to using undue influence to shape their parents Will in their favour. Equally as important in creating litigation has been the proliferation of second marriages and split families. Each side of the family can have very different legal rights to an estate depending on the circumstances. Great care and consideration must be taken when providing for your children and your spouse’s children. It is critical to seek advice from a Lawyer with training and experience in drafting wills in these circumstances.

On Aug. 6 at 3:55 p.m., police issued violation tickets to two Quebec men who were consuming liquor in public on Lakeshore Drive.

Driver suspension issued

On Aug. 8 at 8:55 p.m., a police officer on duty noticed two intoxicated people near the Summerland Legion. The officer cautioned both of them not to drive, but soon afterward they were stopped for impaired driving. A 29-year-old Summerland man was issued a three-day licence suspension and a threeday vehicle suspension as a result.

Police respond to collision

On Aug. 10, police were called to a twovehicle collision on Victoria Road North at Quinpool Road. Police say a motorist travelling east on Quinpool Road failed to stop at the intersection and collided with a vehicle on Victoria Road North. A 19-year-old Vancouver woman was issued a ticket for failing to stop. There were no injuries.

Considerate, confidential and affordable legal services for the residents of Summerland and area.

Gasoline stolen

On Aug. 11, police were called after gasoline was reported stolen from the 7700 block of Prairie Valley Road. The incident is believed to have occurred overnight. Police say a fuel line had been cut and around 50 litres of gasoline was taken.

Railway funding

MLA Dan Ashton, seventh from left, presents a $13,000 gaming grant cheque to Ron Restrick, right, general manager of the Kettle Valley Steam Railway. The money is for the maintenance of the 102-year-old 3716 steam locomotive.

our pick

Meeting spaces When the new Summerland branch of the Okanagan Regional Library is constructed, it will be much larger than the present location, but some space questions will still remain. The Okanagan Regional Library rents the upper level of the Wharton Street building while the municipality had rooms on the lower level available as meeting spaces for community groups and organizations. The new one-storey building on Main Street, at 743 square metres, will feature a much larger library area, but it will not have as much space available for meeting rooms. The existing library building will remain in place, but its new purpose has not yet been determined. The decision to construct a new library building on Main Street near Kelly Avenue displaced the Summerland Community Arts Centre and the Summerland Potters’ Guild. At present, the Arts Centre is operating out of a retail building on Main Street while the Potters’ Guild is using a building on Victoria Road North. Whether these become the permanent home of the these organizations remains to be seen. In order to serve the needs of all segments of the community, it is important to have adequate space for the various facilities and organizations. The library has been in need of a larger facility for many years. This need has been addressed, but the new location which was chosen for the library has affected other organizations. A good plan will be needed to ensure there is a long-term solution to provide adequate space for the Summerland Arts Centre and for the community groups which require meeting spaces.

Students from Toyokoro, Japan were in Summerland last week for a Sister City exchange. S u m m e rland’s Sister City agreement with Toyokoro was signed in 1996. Since that time, the two communities have both benefitted from the numerous exchanges and delegations. For the Toyokoro students who visited Summerland last week, the experience will be one they will remember for years to come.

bad Farm changes a great leap forward apples VICTORIA – The B.C. government’s intentions for the Agricultural Land Reserve have been clarified by a public consultation that proposes new commercial and industrial uses on farmland. Political watchers may recall that this was the hill the NDP was prepared to die on this spring. It was going to be a farmland looting spree for rightwing property Tom Fletcher developers and all hope of “food security” would be dashed. As I attempted to explain at the time, the changes have little or nothing to do with ALR exclusions. Now a discussion paper poses a series of questions, some of which illustrate the need to bring farmland regulations up to date. The first one deals with restrictions on retail sales, a case study in arbitrary state control. There is a strict maximum floor space. A minimum one half of retail sales must be produced on that farm. Food packing, preparation and processing are similarly restricted. This requires multiple duplicate operations of questionable viability. It brings to mind Mao Tse Tung’s Great Leap Forward, where farmers all had little iron smelting furnaces out back to make tools. But I digress.

“Amongst other things,” the discussion paper says, “lessening the restrictions on onfarm processing could allow the establishment of abattoirs (large, small or mobile) on farms, to serve surrounding cattle, game or poultry farms.” Then there’s cheese, fruit juice and even medical marijuana products. And did you know that wineries and cideries are allowed on farmland but breweries, distilleries and meaderies aren’t? (Mead is made from honey, and doesn’t have to be drunk from a bronze mug while wearing a horned helmet.) Now that we’ve discovered that breweries don’t have to be giant urban industrial plants producing mediocre lager that all tastes the same, possibilities abound. On-farm wine and cider sales have similarly quaint retail space and product origin restrictions. The government proposes to allow sales of products not made on site, as long as they’re made in B.C. This could make more local retail beverage co-ops viable. Or it could spawn a wave of unregulated rural liquor stores that create chaos on country roads. You decide. On a more serious note, there are a couple of questions about changes to the newly created “zone two,” the Interior, Kootenay and North regions. One repeats the government’s intention to open up non-farm use rules to allow

certain oil and gas service functions on farmland. This is to reflect the reality already on the ground in the Northeast. What other nonfarm activities it may entail is not yet known, as the consultation and regional meetings continue until Aug. 22. There are proposals to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for certain kinds of farmland subdivision in zone two. These are where the subdivided parcels are a quarter section (160 acres) or bigger, or where they are divided by a road or waterway. And finally there are proposed exemptions from ALC scrutiny of leases, to allow “intergenerational transfer,” so retiring farmers don’t have to plead for state permission to remain on their own property. Another exemption would “encourage the use of otherwise unfarmed land by existing or new farmers.” NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham, who circulated a photo of herself with a samurai sword in a theatrical “Kill Bill 24” campaign, continues to insist that these changes open up 90 per cent of ALR land for “development.” It’s a hypocritical as well as a misleading statement, since a portion of her own Saanich farm property is rented to a successful craft gin distillery.

Over the past week, the number of infractions for consuming alcohol in public is puzzling. On numerous occasions, police issued tickets to individuals who were drinking at beaches and in other public spaces. The fine for consuming alcohol in public, at $230, is noticeable, but for some residents and visitors, it has not been enough to serve as a deterrent.

Board members have responsibilities Dear Editor: It is hard to comprehend why people accept a position on a board and then do nothing to assist that society. In a perfect world it should be mandatory that anyone who chooses to become a board member should be required

to take a course in board development. The realities would probably scare many away. In Summerland, there are many volunteer groups and board members must realize their responsibility; to advance that society. Instead members

and staff are subjected to self-serving groups, rife with bullies, false accusations, disinterest and lack of initiative. Regarding the article in last week’s Review about the retiring administrator of the Summerland Museum, her retirement was

probably a result of too many responsibilities, too little time to accomplish them and minimal assistance from the board. Until the museum has a board which understands one of their most important roles is to help raise funds to ensure

ample hours for a staff so they can accomplish the many responsibilities listed in their job description, nothing is going to change. The major concern of the museum is the collection; the artefacts, documents and photographs that have been entrusted

to it. Summerland citizens and their ancestors have provided this history; it is the responsibility of the board to take this into account. It is also incumbent on the municipality to make sure the community’s collection is properly managed.

Anyone approached to sit on a board of directors should first find out what their responsibilities are; not only the collection but the humane handling of the staff. Take the job seriously or please don’t take it at all. Sherril Foster Summerland

THE EARLY YEARS

Summer memories

Photo courtesy of the Summerland Museum

In 1920 the Baptist Church Camp at Miller’s Point (now Okanagan Provincial Park South Campground) was the place for a great summer camp experience. This group of campers, under the leadership of Mr. Blackaby, consisted of Jimmy Clark, Billie Ritchie, Evan Peirie, George Fudge, and Edgar Walker, a.k.a “The Young Rustlers.” Summer has always been a good time for making memories and whether it’s at summer camp, the beach, sightseeing or just lounging in the shade, we hope you’re enjoying the season and making some good memories of your own. By the way, the Summerland Museum is a great place for a trip down Memory Lane.

Feral horse deserves a loving home

Dear Editor: I am yet another reader who is upset over the treatment of Avalon, the feral horse that Critteraid is refusing to allow Janette Damsa to adopt.

I love all animals, and it breaks my heart to see how some are forced to live, simply because they were not lucky enough to be born into a loving home. But here is the story

Parole hearing changes supported Dear Editor: Our Member of Parliament, Dan Albas, has brought attention to Bill C587 under debate, which would increase minimum time before any parole hearing to 40 years from 25. I support this bill and trust it will be passed. As the years pass, memories of crimes so terrible still get forgotten by many of us, but not by those whose lives were torn apart. J.A. Heald Summerland

of one feral horse, whose physical needs have been met, when he was taken in by Critteraid. To hear that someone was willing to spend the time Janette has spent, work-

ing with him, and earning his trust, is heartwarming, And to hear that he has also bonded with Janette’s other horse, completes the picture. Critteraid holds

that horse’s future happiness in their hands. To refuse to allow him to go to a home where he will be loved, where he will have the companionship of another horse he has

bonded with, is cruel. I hope each and every one of the board of directors at Critteraid will look into their own hearts, and will allow this poor horse to have the happiness he

deserves. As the saying goes, “Saving one animal will not change the world. But it will change the world for that one animal.” Diane Prentice Summerland

Dear Editor: As a former resident of Summerland, my family and I had the opportunity to spend nearly a week there just recently. I enjoyed driving past familiar buildings and locations and noticing the many changes that

have taken place over the years. We particularly enjoyed the hospitality and marvellous breakfasts provided by Brian and Elsa at Glenoka Bed and Breakfast. And I do want to point out a fine addition to the amenities

in Lowertown. And that’s the special beach area where dogs can bring their owners. It’s comforting to see a secure, safe and dedicated spot where owners can cheerfully shout “Fetch” and “Here, boy” and run back and forth without

being infringed upon by others. Would that dogs everywhere be so

thoughtful in providing the same space. Rod Link Terrace, B.C.

Rotary to provide aid in Philippines by John Arendt Eight Summerlanders will travel to the Philippines in October as part of a medical humanitarian effort. The Summerlanders who participate will work with Rotoplast in Cebu City, Philippines, Oct. 5 to 14. Rotoplast, a non-

profit organization affiliated with Rotary International, will provide cleft lip and cleft palate surgeries to those in need. The last time Rotoplast was in the Philippines in 2013, a typhoon shortened the medial work and as a result, 55 children were not able to

get the necessary surgeries. The eight Summerland participants will be non-medical volunteers. They will provide support for the medical team, including documenting the work and providing transportation. At present, three members of the Sum-

merland Rotary Club have committed to going to the Philippines and three more are considering making the trip. “It’s a great handson opportunity for our members,” said Denese Espeut-Post, president of the Summerland Rotary Club. Interested members of the public

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

who are not part of Rotary are also invited to attend. Espeut-Post said the team members’ costs in the Philippines are covered. Non-medical volunteers must cover the costs of their own airfare, estimated at $1,200 to $1,500 each. She added that the purpose of the trip is to provide assistance to the medical team, not sightseeing or vacationing. “The focus is the surgical procedures,” she said. Additional information is available

online at www.rotoplast.org. Those interested in participating are asked to contact Espeut-Post at Avery Law Office. Rotoplast was started by the Rotary Club of San Francisco in 1992. Today it is a separate organization, affiliated with Rotary. This is the first time the Summerland Rotary Club is participating in a Rotoplast medical mission. In addition to the individual travel costs for the partici-

pants, the Summerland club’s cost of sponsoring this program is $58,000. Espeut-Post said the club is looking for donations and will host fundraising events. Donors will receive tax receipts for their contributions. In addition to this international project, the Summerland Rotary Club is active within Summerland. Local projects have included work with the Giant’s Head Grind in spring and trail maintenance work.

Summerland Review Thursday, August 14, 2014

Family farm specializes in cherries August is a busy time of year at the Carcajou Fruit Company as the Carlson family and their workers harvest and pack this year’s cherry crop, which will be shipped around the world. The farm is owned by Keith and Jan Carlson. Theirs is a family operation. Their daughter Claire Tamang and her husband, as well as her sister Erin Carlson all hold positions in the company. “Carcajou means wolverine in French. A wolverine is known for being a glutton, so the idea is that our cherries are just so good, that you would glut yourself on them,” explained Tamang. “It’s also the name of a beautiful valley in the Northwest Territories where my parents use to live before they moved here and bought the farm.” Late variety cherries are the main crop grown on the farm, including Lapin, Sweetheart, Staccato and Sentennial. “These are the S varieties of cherries that were developed at the Summerland Research Station,” Tamang said. “They are all later varieties and that’s good for us because the later you can push the season the more money there is in the market.” It was often the case in the past that cherry crops would be ruined due to summer rainfall. “We tend to harvest all through August with these split resistant varieties of cherries. Generally in the Okanagan it doesn’t rain as much in August as it does in June or July,” Tamang explained. The fruit is picked, sorted and packed right on the farm.

Processing cherries

Graham Karner prepares to dump cherries into the stem separating machine at the Carcajou Fruit Company.

The Carlsons have workers return year after year. Many of them are university students and some are local high school students. They have cabins and washroom facilities complete with showers, on site. They provide lockers for each worker. There is a kitchen and each person is given dishes. Some food is also provided such as oatmeal, rice, tea, coffee and a daily soup. A fleet of reconditioned bicycles stands ready for the workers to use to cycle into town. “We do what we can to attract a loyal, hardworking workforce and to keep them happy. This seems to do the

trick,” Tamang said. Each picker has their own number and they tag their own lugs, which are the containers the fruit is collected in. The lugs are transported to the packing plant and weighed and scanned into the computer. Each picker is paid by the pound and receives a bonus if they stay until the end of the harvest. The barcode on each lug also provides a way to trace the fruit from field to market. This computer program was designed by Carlson himself and is called Smart Hort. After the cherries are weighed and scanned they are dumped into the

stem separator. The cherries are pulled apart by centrifugal force so there is one cherry, one stem. The next step is the hydro cooler, where the cherries travel through cold water which cools them to the required temperature. They then go through a MAF Optical Sizer and Defect Sorter. “What this machine does, is it takes a picture of each individual cherry. It determines two things,” said Tamang, “if it is a good cherry or a bad cherry and what size it is.” Once sorted the good cherries are packed into boxes and then placed on rollers and taken

up to the Inventory room which is kept at a temperature just above freezing. The boxes are then placed on pallets ready for export to international markets in Belgium, Spain, England and Hong Kong. Some fruit is also sold locally. Tamang explained how crucial it is to keep the cherries cold through the whole process. They leave the farm on refrigerated trucks and are shipped in refrigerated containers. If the cold chain is not broken the cherries will last five to six weeks. The farm processes 10 tonnes of cherries per day and the hope is to have 310 tonnes this season. “Presuming there are no big rain storms between now and the end of August we’re going to have a beautiful huge crop, probably the biggest we’ve ever had,” concluded Tamang. Have you glutted yourself on cherries this season? If not there is still time to enjoy some, from any number of local growers.

Farewell party

Carla McLeod Special to the Review

A farewell party, for the students visiting from Toyokoro Japan, was held at Peach Orchard Beach on Friday evening. After a chicken dinner there were speeches and gift presentations. The students gave a calligraphy demonstration and each thanked their host families and expressed their appreciation for their visit to Summerland. Most commonly mentioned were the facts that Summerland was a very beautiful place, that it was “very hot” here and that the experience would be memorable. After the formalities the students were given the opportunity to paddle a kayak on Okanagan Lake. In this group photo is the students, their chaperones, the interpreters, host families, members of the Sister City Committee along with the mayor and several Summerland council members.

Cycle trail project moving forward What a difference a year can make! Fourteen months ago the Trail of the Okanagans bike path advocacy group was formed to promote the plan for a worldclass regional biking network. With seed funding and the initial vision provided by the Summerland Rotary Club, the group quickly gained traction and tourism organizations, local businesses, politicians, regional economic development professionals, the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen and various government departments, as well as interested members of the public came on board to support this cause. This long term vision builds on existing infrastructure to create a regional bike path will allow cyclists to travel from Osoyoos all the way to Sicamous on connected trails, many of which are already in place.

Two key gaps in the pathway are in Summerland – the stretches adjacent to Highway 97 along Okanagan Lake between Lower Town and Illahie Beach and between Sun-Oka Park and Penticton. The Trail of the Okanagans, working with the District of Summerland, achieved a major advocacy milestone in July, when the funding to close the first of these gaps was announced. Our own MLA, Dan Ashton, who was instrumental in making this happen, along with Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, Todd Stone, and Mayor Janice Perrino, were in Summerland on July 3, to announce a contribution of $420,000 to be combined with an additional $80,000 from the District of Summerland to complete the pathway between Lower Town and Illahie Beach.

spokesman Adam Grossman said. The cheques will begin to go out around Aug. 20. The average overpayment was $18 per year. The refunds plus interest being paid total nearly $38 million. Nearly 370,000 other motorists were undercharged because of the glitches. ICBC won’t go after them for the $53 million in lost revenue. Auditors who examined ICBC’s handling of the issue concluded ICBC knew the

problem was systemic as early as 2009 but management hid it from ICBC’s board of directors until mid-2013. Various fixes were contemplated but discarded, according to the auditors’ report. The overcharges were finally made public in April by Transportation Minister Todd Stone – only after he was questioned by the media. ICBC’s board had intended to wait until it had a refund strategy ready to roll out.

Students work to control invasive species by John Arendt Two students are spending their summer preventing, monitoring and controlling the spread of invasive species in the region through their jobs with a nonprofit organization. Matt Jones is the terrestrial invasive plant assistant with the Okanagan and Similkameen Invasive Species Society, while Savanna Maddock is working with the aquatic invaders prevention program. Jones has spent much of his time working to control puncturevine and burdock in the region. Both plants are not native to the Okanagan and Similkameen, but they have been causing problems in recent years. Puncturevine, with its sharp seed pods, can puncture bicycle

tires and cut human and animal feet. Burdock, a thorny plant, has trapped birds and bats. “It’s a real challenge getting rid of them in Summerland,” Jones said of the plants. “They just keep coming back year after year.” He said persistence is the key to eliminating the invasive plants. Maddock’s work has focussed on controlling zebra and quagga mussels, two invasive species which have the potential to cause damage to lakes in the area. Much of her work has been in educating boaters about the dangers of these invasive mussels. While many residents understand the potential problems from mussels, she said tourists are not

always aware of the harm from these species. When she tells them they could face a fine of $100,000 for transporting zebra mussels, dead or live, most people take notice. The awareness campaign has resulted in many boat owners taking the time to clean, drain and dry their boats when leaving the water. Jones said some of his work also involves educating the public about invasive plants. “The reception definitely gets better and better,” he said. Jones and Maddock are both pursuing degrees in science. Jones is studying natural resources science at Thompson Rivers University while Maddock, who has completed an Associate of Science degree at Okanagan College, plans to major in biology at the University of British ColumbiaOkanagan.

doing it with my father.” InspireHealth helps to work with their patients and their family supporters to engage in support of their own health, through nutrition, exercise and emotional and spiritual well-being. While InspireHealth receives partial funding from the Ministry of Health, the day-today operational costs all come from fundraising efforts and

donors. Paddle with InspireHealth is the largest fundraiser of the year for InspireHealth, with a fundraising goal of $35,000.

Machtaler wins at golf tourney Greg Machtaler of Summerland won the inaugural Forces and Families Open in Ottawa on Sunday, becoming the first Canadian winner on the PGA Tour Canada this year. Machtaler, 30, had

a 70-foot birdie putt and a final round nine-under 62 on Sunday. The other golfers, Jeff Dennis Peter Campbell and Greg Eason were unable to match him with a birdie on the last

hole. The win comes just under a year after the death of Machtaler’s father, Glenn. “As soon as it came off the putter it felt great,” Machtaler said. “I can’t help but think my dad had

s o m e thing to do with that putt going in.” From 2007 to 2 0 1 1 , MachtaGreg ler made Machtaler 13 cuts in 24 starts. He then returned to work at the Summerland Golf and Country Club after playing just three times in 2011. Throughout the 2014 season, Machta-

ler has been dealing with a back injury that limited his ability to swing the club effectively. “I thought I was going to have to write off the year,” he sad. “My back was just so bad, I couldn’t even swing. I just have to thank all the physio teams that I’ve worked with back home and on the road with PGA Tour Canada. They’ve really helped me. It got the point where I could

finally stop thinking about it and I could finally just let my swing go again.” The win puts Machtaler in ninth on the Order of Merit with four events remaining. In addition to the win on Sunday, Machtaler also claimed the Freedom 55 Financial Canadian Player of the Week honours. The weekly prize is given to the top Canadian on the leaderboard each week.

Horseshoe tournament

Carla McLeod Special to the Review

The 58th annual Horseshoe Tournament was held in Summerland this past weekend. Pictured here is Bill Flannigan as he prepares to toss, with Bill Brussee awaiting his turn.

Soccer team finishes with 14 wins, no losses Summerland’s under 15-16 youth soccer team had an extraordinary season recording a record of 14 wins and zero losses. The team won the Pinnacles Cup after winning their final playoff game of the season.

Coach James Fofonoff is pleased with the progress the players on the team have achieved over the last five years. “They have shown excellent sportsmanship and have improved each year with their technical

skills. Our offence scored an unprecedented number of goals in the season and our defence was often impenetrable,” he said. Goalkeepers Gavin Tiel and Jared Breitkreuz recorded a number of shutouts.

attending our 10 art programs this summer from Fun with a Pocket Knife all the way to Messy and Marvellous. We are already starting to plan for next year’s summer courses, but you don’t have to wait until next year. Check out our fall after school and homeschool programs starting Sept. 17, every Wednesday for six weeks. Wednesdays on the Water has also been receiving great feedback from the community. We had more than 140 people in attendance at our opening night so if you haven’t checked out this free music concert series there is still time.

Wednesday, Aug. 20 will feature local musicians Robert Johnson and Liz Campbell who specialize in a blues and jazz style of music. Get on your dancing shoes for Aug. 27 with the Dreamland Band, a 17-piece big band that is sure to have you on your feet swinging away. Concerts are at Spirit Square, Peach Orchard Beach and run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. every Wednesday for the month of August. A big thank you to all the talented young musicians who participated in our Youth Night on Aug. 13. It was great to watch you all perform. Another summer program on the go is

ARTS PALETTE

Carmen McDowell the annual Art Walk. Works by local artists are displayed in participating downtown businesses and wineries for the month of August. On display you will find paintings, pottery, fibre art, jewelry, wood workings, sculptures and more. Stop by the gallery to pick up your Art Walk map and take a

tour of Summerland. The Summerland Community Arts Council is also in need of volunteers to watch over the gift gallery. Tasks include greeting visitors, handling transactions, occasional dusting and informing patrons about the current show. If you have three hours a month and would like to donate some time please contact the office at 250-494-4494 or admin@summerlandarts.com. All training is provided and it is a great opportunity to meet people. Carmen McDowell is the Summer Art Program coordinator at the Summerland Arts Council.

The Leona Claes Memorial Bursary award was given out for the third year on Sunday afternoon. This year’s recipient for the $1,000 bursary was Evelyn Krieger. Claes had a great love of music, especially classical and knew all of the operas. Her family decided to memorialize her by helping students to pursue their dream of music. Kreiger is a talented pianist and violinist with goals of getting her diploma in music and being a piano teacher. Pictured here presenting her with the cheque is Rene Claes, husband of Leona. The presentation was held at the Summerland Seniors Village where he resides. A concert was held with Kreiger performing for those in attendance. Also performing were the previous winners of the award, Madison Johnson and Sasha PerryFagant.
