by John Arendt Now that the teachers’ strike has been resolved, B.C. students are back in the classroom, but the school year will be shorter than usual. At the end of last week, members of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation voted 86 per cent in favour of a six-year agreement, ending a strike which had shut schools for two weeks in June and three weeks in September. The first day of the school year was Monday, Sept. 22, nearly three weeks later than the normal start which would have been Sept. 2. Despite the later start

this fall, there will be no change to the end of the school year, said Wendy Hyer, superintendent of schools for the Okanagan Skaha School District. The dates for the semester exams have been shifted, so students will lose one week and one day each semester. She said the shorter school year will mean less time for enrichment and remedial activities in the classroom, but there will still be enough time to cover the necessary course material. “I don’t think it’s an insurmountable task,” she said. “Students usually catch up by the end of the school year.” Chris Van Bergeyk, principal of Summerland Secondary School, said the delayed start to the school year will be noticeable.

John Arendt Summerland Review
Peter Watson, in the Elite Male 16 to 30 category, was the overall winner in the fourth annual Test of Humanity mountain bike event on Sunday. The four-hour challenge featured experienced competitive mountain bikers and newcomers to the sport. Proceeds will go to the construction of a school with a residence in Ethiopia.
A pedestrian-vehicle accident on Highway 97 on Monday morning has claimed the life of a 77-year-old Summerland man. The accident occurred at 10:08 a.m. when the man was crossing at an uncontrolled intersection at Highway 97 and Steuart Street. He was struck by a truck travelling south. The man was taken to the hospital in critical condition and later died from his injuries. Cst. Kris Clark, a spokesman for the RCMP Southeast District, said a collision reconstructionist attended the scene to conduct a detailed analysis. The analysis includes
a study of the debris, tire markings and position of the vehicle. The report has not yet been completed. “It’s a tragic event and we have the unenviable task of trying to determine what actually happened,” he said. The highway was reopened to traffic later on Monday. “We’re still waiting for that report and compiling all of the witness statements,” he said. The victim’s name has not been released. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the RCMP South Okanagan Traffic Services at 250-499-2250 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Investigating an accident
A portion of Highway 97 near Steuart Street was closed on Monday morning following an accident when a pedestrian crossing the highway was struck by a semi tractor. The 77-year-old Summerland man was taken to hospital and later died from his injuries. The investigation continues.
Fast progress expected on new library by John Arendt
The construction of the new Summerland library branch is expected to take place quickly this fall. Michele Rule, communications manager for the Okanagan Regional Library, said the site preparation has been completed and the foundations will be put in shortly. “We’re hoping to have a significant portion of the structure before it gets cold,” she said, adding that library officials hope to have the roof and walls in place before the end of the year. The timeline calls for the building to
be completed by late May or early June of next year. While the exterior work is expected to happen quickly, she said the inside work will take some time as shelving and automatic checkout machines must be installed. The new structure will be around 743 square metres, more than double the size of the existing branch on Wharton Street. Mayor Janice Perrino said the timeline for the new branch is exciting. “We’re very impressed with how quickly this will go forward,” she said. When it is complet-
ed, Perrino expects the new branch will draw activity to Main Street. The Summerland library branch receives many visitors throughout the year. There are 6,381
registered users in Summerland. In 2013, there were 70,203 visits to the branch. “The library is like the living room for the community,” Rule said. While library use
is changing as people use online sources and e-books, the branch continues to circulate many books. “The circulation is very high and it’s always been busy in Summerland,” Rule said.

POLICE rEPOrt Stolen items recovered
On Sept. 16 around 9 p.m., police were called after a suspicious vehicle was observed in the Prairie Valley Road area. Police found a Chevrolet Tahoe, believed to have been stolen. A quad was also found. The Tahoe was reported stolen the following day. The quad had been stolen from Nakusp a year ago. It was then sold to a Summerland resident and stolen once again. The following day, police received a report of a flatbed trailer which had been stolen from Loomer Road. The trailer had been stolen between Sept. 11 and Sept. 17. On Sept. 18, another flatbed trailer was reported stolen, this one from Alder Street. It was recovered the same day in the Dale Meadows area. Police believe the thefts are all related.
Motorcycle stolen
On Sept. 22, police were called after a 2005 Husaberg off-road motorcycle was reported stolen from Front Bench Road. The motorcycle is believed to have been taken over the weekend. It is valued at around $13,000.
Construction equipment taken
Construction equipment at Cartwright Avenue and Prairie Valley Road was reported stolen over the weekend. A trailer with a large water tank and a skidder were taken from the site. Police are continuing their investigation.

She added that the library continues to play an important role as users seek accurate and reliable information about many topics. “Librarians are trained to research and find information
for people,” she said. The new branch, a mid-sized branch in the Okanagan Regional Library’s system, will continue to operate under the same hours as at present.
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.

EDITORIAL
our pick
A shorter school year The late start to the school year means teachers and students must work with a tighter timeline in order to complete all the necessary work. The shorter schedule means students will lose more than a week of classroom time in each semester this year. As a result, the school year will be more tightly focussed than in the past. It is possible to complete the required work on a shortened schedule, but there are also some challenges. Anyone who has worked at a job with deadlines or time constraints will understand the added stresses and pressures which result when the timelines are shortened or when the start of a project is delayed. Losing three weeks from the school year will have some noticeable effects. It is not a situation teachers, parents or students would prefer. The shorter year is the result of a long and difficult labour dispute between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the province. The dispute also had schools shut in June. The dispute has now been resolved, with the teachers voting 86 per cent in favour of a six-year agreement. The new agreement means school schedules will run as planned for the next few years, but the question must be raised whether a similar dispute will arise in the future, when the new agreement expires. A prolonged dispute, such as the one which has now concluded, is an uncomfortable situation for all involved, whether teachers and school staff, students or parents. A better method of negotiation is needed now, long before the present agreement expires, so we do not experience a repeat of the dispute which has now concluded.
The organizers of the Test of Humanity mountain bike event deserve thanks for their efforts. The fourth annual ride on Sunday was an opportunity for mountain bikers to ride a challenging course in Summerland. It was open to riders of all ages and skill levels. It was also an important fundraising event, bringing in an estimated $40,000 for the construction of a school with a residence in Ethiopia.
bad Report card time for politicians apples VICTORIA – This November, voters will be hiring local politicians for a four-year term, rather than three. It’s a good time to ask some tough questions about the performance of councils on the job they are assigned to do, as opposed to posturing about senior government matters. Remember when it was fashionable for city councils to declare Tom Fletcher their communities “a nuclear weapons-free zone”? You can still see the signs entering Vancouver and Nanaimo. Alert voters may wonder: “Did they really think we’re that stupid?” Yes, they did. And some of them still do. To illustrate, allow me to introduce my poster child for bad local government, Victoria city councillor Ben Isitt. A long-time NDP activist, Isitt got elected three years ago after raising his name recognition with a couple of runs for mayor. His rookie term has been notable for a series of stunts that extend his career as a professional student, campus radical and occasional history lecturer. One of Isitt’s big studies is the influence of Soviet communism on the B.C. NDP. He was on one of his visits to Russia earlier this year when President Vladimir Putin was
having his way with Crimea. Isitt’s fondness for state control was on display last fall when aboriginal protesters disrupted natural gas drilling in New Brunswick, torching several police vehicles in the process. Isitt took to his Facebook page to decry the federal government’s use of police against the population, and suggested Canada should emulate Venezuela, where petroleum resources benefit the people rather than corporations. Venezuela sells gasoline for nine cents a gallon, the late Hugo Chavez’s gift to his people after nationalizing the oil industry. The capital, Caracas, is famous for extreme poverty, brutally suppressed riots, and a crime rate so bad it ranks among the world’s most dangerous cities. How does Isitt’s political outlook translate to his role in local government? This week local politicians gather in Whistler for the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. One of Isitt’s first contributions a couple of years ago was at a UBCM workshop on how to finance local infrastructure. Isitt proposed setting up a municipal income tax. Presumably this would be on top of property taxes. In its wisdom, Victoria council appointed Isitt as their Capital Regional District representative. In that capacity he led the charge against Canada Post’s
decision to wind up door-todoor delivery for the minority of people who aren’t already using community mailboxes. After instructing Ottawa to accelerate the bankruptcy of this Crown corporation, Isitt began ordering the province to intervene in a dispute over Grace Islet, a rocky point off Salt Spring Island where an Alberta man is trying to build a retirement home. The dispute centres on aboriginal burial grounds and artifacts, and Isitt appointed himself advocate for the grievances of native people. When the B.C. government didn’t follow his instructions, he demanded that the CRD expropriate the land and evict the owner. Island politics being what it is, this was actually considered before cooler heads prevailed. And how are things with the CRD’s real job while the Isitt circus rolls on? The most over-governed region in B.C. remains locked in a bitter turf war over a federally mandated sewage treatment project, and is on the verge of forfeiting hundreds of millions in provincial funds. So voters should ask themselves a couple of questions this November. Is your council doing the job it was hired to do? And do you trust these individuals with your wallet until the fall of 2018? Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @ tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca.
The number of vehicle and trailer thefts in Summerland over the past week is disturbing. Among the items stolen were a Chevrolet Tahoe, two trailers, construction equipment, a motorcycle and a quad. If anyone has information about these or other thefts, please contact the RCMP or Crime Stoppers. For those who have motorcycles, quads or similar equipment, please store these items securely.

Teachers appreciated support Dear Editor: On behalf of those teachers picketing in
front of Giant’s Head School, I would like to thank all of you
who supported us. From daily honks, waves and words of
encouragement to those who provided baking, treats, advice,
eggs, salmon, coffee, tea, harvest fruits and vegetables and finan-
cial assistance..we express our sincere gratitude.

Students heading back to class may have mixed feelings this year. While some of them are happy to be back with their friends, some may have been enjoying their extended holiday. Judging by the expressions on these little faces, there were also some mixed feelings about starting school in 1953. The Summerland Museum would like some help putting names to the faces in Mrs. Steuart’s Kindergarten class. If you can identify any of these personable youngsters, please drop in or call the museum (250-494-0282) or email ruth@summerlandmuseum.org.
In particular, we would like to thank our secret “strike fairy.” Last week, someone left a mason jar at our line every morning. Monday it said, “Teachers Rock” and it was filled with candy rockets. Tuesday’s jar was filled with inspirational quotes that we read throughout our shifts. Wednesday’s jar was filled with a bouquet of origami flowers and kind words. Thursday morning we were greeted with a note that read, “I hope you enjoyed the quotes and the flowers, but I know lifesavers, sometimes just need chocolate. Thank you.” Friday we were left bath salts and a heartfelt poem that reminded us the importance of what we were standing for. In the midst of a difficult time, we were boosted by these incredible random acts of kindness, reminding us again of the wonderful community we live in. Anita Berekoff on behalf of those who walked the line at Giant’s Head School Summerland
Summerland council listened to the public Dear Editor: With Coun. Peter Waterman announcing his candidacy for the position of Summerland’s mayor, interest in and discussion of local politics will increase as the forthcoming municipal election nears. I hope, naively perhaps, that candidates will avoid generalities, unless their claims are credible after close examination. For example, Waterman stated, in a news release, “ I felt that a lot of residents feel they
weren’t heard.” Really? Council held three public hearings to hear citizens’ opinions of the Urban Growth Proposal. At the first hearing, the arena banquet room was too small to accommodate everyone, so the next two were held in the Summerland Secondary School gymnasium. Council was there to hear opinions from the public. At the second meeting people were invited to submit written questions. I expect
answers were provided at the third meeting. Meetings were crowded, many people spoke, and the first two meetings lasted until late evening. When the process was finished, it was obvious that a large majority objected to items in the proposal. Council had done what it could to hear everyone who wanted to speak. And yet, Waterman apparently wasn’t satisfied. He “felt that a lot of residents feel they weren’t
heard.” Would we have gained anything from hearing the same sorts of objections from more people? Again, he stated, “…it (presumably council), has been uninterested in listening to the people.” What a provocative assessment of council’s efforts. Maybe Waterman is confusing “listening” with “agreement.” Let’s hope we can still listen, yet disagree on civic policy.
Finally he stated, “we have to make valuable connections within our community which will allow us to expand our arts and retail sector and make sure it moves ahead.” If he, or others who may become candidates, have schemes, or proposals for “expanding our retail sector and making sure it moves ahead,” why haven’t we heard about them in the last few years? David McIntosh Summerland
Stamp club makes donations to support charities Dear Editor: The Penticton and District Stamp Club is ready to start another season of stamp collecting and serving at the same time the community with the opportunity of making stamp donations which in turn are converted into cash for our chosen charities. Our charities this year are: Moog
and Friends Hospice House, Cancer Research, CNIB, and the South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation. Over the last six years, as a club, we have made close to $10,000 in cash donations. All are welcome to have a look and see what and how we are enjoying an afternoon of auctioning
and talking stamps. If you have specific questions about your stamp collection, find your answers at one of our meetings or call Gus, or any other club member you know, for advice. Annual membership fees are $15 for adults and $5 for youths. Visiting is free of charge but one has to be a member to place items in the
auction. No membership needed to bid and buy. D o n a t i o n s towards the auction and in turn to our charities can be made by calling: Gus Boersma at 250492-3875 or email: gboersma@telus.net or deliver at 2600 Cornwall Dr., Penticton, B.C., V2A 6X3. Gus will pick up if so desired.
Over the summer months we have received many donations which will start to be auctioned off
at our first meeting in September – come and find out how this works. We thank all who
have contributed cash and donations towards our auctions. Gus Boersma Penticton

Agur Lake Camp provides free weekend A group of adults with special needs enjoyed a sunny weekend of wilderness camping at Agur Lake Camp in mid September. The group, accompanied by caregivers Gloria Gagnon and Allison Smith of Princeton and District Community Services, was sponsored
by Princeton Wood Preservers Ltd. of Princeton. Beth Bonten, president of Agur Lake Camp Society, said the group was sponsored by Elizabeth Marion in honour of June Kolbe from Princeton who passed away earlier this year and left ALCS a donation of
her hospital bed and two lifts. Marion is owner and operator of Princeton Wood Preservers Ltd. Bonten said Brad and June Hope contacted the society in the spring of 2014 to ask if ALCS would like to have a hospital bed and two lifts donated from a lady
in Princeton who had just passed away. June Hope had followed the progress of Agur Lake Camp since its inception. Bonten added that Brad Hope had been an ALCS Board member and now was a Director of the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen.

“We asked them how we might honour Mrs. Kolbe and they suggested we find a company, preferably from Princeton, who might sponsor a family or a group to come and enjoy our camp for a few days,” Bonten said. The same day, she met with Marion and mentioned the sponsorship program that was being planned. The New Beginnings group, part of PDCS, was selected for this sponsorship, Bonten explained, and five participants of the program volunteered to attend
camp. They were Sharon Geluch, Nicola Hodge, Paul Gabriel, Brian Liberatore and Misty Tuck. That group enjoyed the camp’s accessible trails, dock fishing, spacious easy-access cabins and wilderness setting. Gagnon and Smith came with the group as assistants, helping them organize events like scavenger hunts, craft sessions and wiener roasts. Agur Lake camp is located 20 kilometres west of Summerland. Its mandate is to operate a barrier free wilderness camp
with recreational facilities for children and adults who have special needs who attend with their families or guardians. The camp operates from May to late September but the ALCS has a year round office at 9913 Main St., Summerland. Office manager Mirjana Komljenovic is there to respond to phone, email or in person enquiries. The ALCS phone number is 250-809-7130, the web site is www. agurlakecamp.ca and the e-mail address is info@agurlakecamp. ca.

Westjet route will benefit businesses Earlier this year, we heard the news that WestJet will be flying into Penticton. This new route will begin on Oct. 26 and will provide 12 same day connections from Calgary and an additional nine good connections to all key Canadian markets. There is also a same day connection to Las Vegas. The capacity of each flight is 78 people. While we may think the timing is off given that the main tourism season is passed, it does provide WestJet officials with an indication of whether the regional demand for the route can grow enough through the winter to make it a viable route yearround for the longer term. As part of a regional economic development initiative, South Okanagan communities are working together to promote this new route and make sure every kind of traveller knows there is a new convenient way to fly to our area. We’ll be working with local attractions, event organizers, wineries, travel agents and accommodators to reach the tourism market and make sure we publicize all we have available to do during the quieter season. As well, we want to make sure that our communities know how they can help. If you have friends and family further east who are going to be happy to see any landscape not covered in snow very shortly, let them know about these flights. The fares are well priced and it’s the perfect way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, girl friend spa weekend, Light Up and Light Up the Vines weekend, the holidays, a golfing weekend for

Christine Petkau your alumni friends in the spring, etc. We also want the rest of our business community to be aware of the benefits of these new flight options. Based on the results in other B.C. communities, businesses can expect to see their average cost of travel reduce 25 to 30 per cent when Westjet Encore enters our market. They can also
f
expect to get a 50 to 70 per cent increase in flight options. So not only do local businesses save flying time, but using and maintaining the flight and sharing the information with customers and suppliers should put real dollars on their bottom line profits. All around, it’s great news for people wanting to travel here and for those of us who are travelling away. Please get the word out to your circles. We always appreciate your feedback. Please contact me at manager@summerlandchamber.com or our chamber president, Arlene Fenrich, at president@summ e r l a n d c h a m b e r. com .

Appreciation dinner held for teachers by Carla McLeod Special to the Review
There can be no doubt in the minds of teachers who live in Summerland that they are very much appreciated. While on the picket lines, all Summerland teachers and their families were invited to a Teacher Appreciation Dinner, held at the United Church Hall on Tuesday, Sept. 16. The spaghetti dinner was hosted by retired teachers, CUPE staff and many other individuals and community supporters. The reason for the dinner was to show respect and appreciation for the teachers and to say thank you to them for standing up for public education. Sandy Nicolson

first came up with the idea. She asked Linda Beaven what she thought and her response was “it’s an
awesome idea.” Together they invited Marian Rudisill, Pat Gartrell and Donna Graham

to join them on the organizing committee. Through phone calls, emails and word of mouth, they soon had the funds needed to rent the hall and book the caterer. Desserts for the dinner were baked and donated by willing individuals. “It was a stage when teachers were feeling really low and we thought they really needed a boost and somebody to say we appreciate what it is you are doing,” explained Beaven. “We wanted to let people know that we support teachers and respect them and are convinced that a well- funded public education system for all children is what
we need,” said Nicolson. Kirby Sands, staff representative for Summerland Secondary School, said the dinner was a huge morale booster. He explained that it had been a difficult time for teachers. “We have a lot of two-teacher income families, so they’ve had nothing to live on at this time, as the last full paycheque we had was in midMay.” Sands also wanted to thank the community as a whole for all the support they had shown to teachers. Many people had dropped by with donuts and coffee and stopped to wish them well during the strike.
Teacher Shona Becker said she was “incredibly touched” that someone had thought enough of the teachers to get them all together and to say that public education was important. “It really speaks volumes about our Summerland community. We are incredibly lucky to have such a tight knit community that would put on an event like this for teachers and their families,” she said. Becker and her husband have been teaching for 17 years, but are also parents with two young boys in the school system. “We really want the best educationally sound supportive system, not just for our kids, but for all kids,” she added. Another teacher, Kevin Bond, said there had been a lot of support from drivers honking and passers by giving positive feedback. “The dinner tonight really demonstrated support in a tangible way, by meeting the needs of our families and giving us food. We really appreciate this and it’s quite meaningful to know that people in this community appreciate what we do for kids and the position we have taken.” Anita Berekoff added her voice saying, “I think we were all just taken aback
by the kindness of this community and of past teachers who really understand the issues and understand why we were out there.” As a teacher, Jandi Doyle expressed that she felt there was a desperate need to stand up for students and public education. She at times had been frustrated by the way teachers had been misrepresented in the media. “It’s hard not to take it personally when people are bashing teachers, so a night like tonight means so much. It really warms my heart,” she said. “It’s been a fairly trying time. It’s nice to have this sort of help and recognition,” said Susie Haverkamp. “It puts a positive spin on everything …a feelgood dinner.” Coincidently the appreciation dinner for the teachers was held on the evening of the same day that a tentative agreement had been reached between the teachers and the government. This no doubt resulted in a somewhat more celebratory mood in the hall that night than otherwise might have been the case.

A year after the Summerland Lions Club disbanded, regional organizers with the Lions are working to bring a new club to the community. Joanne Bray, chair of the Lions in the region, said Summerland is one of four communities in the South Okanagan which has lost its Lions Club. The clubs in Keremeos, Osoyoos and Princeton have also disbanded. In Okanagan Falls, the club is struggling. The Summerland club folded a year ago, when membership dropped below 10. “They were trying to hang on,” Bray said, but added that six of the members were past 80 years of age. “Summerland was a really strong club a number of years ago,” she said. For clubs through-
out the region, Bray said the challenge is in attracting younger members. “None of us have any idea how to get the young ones interested,” she said. To form a branch club, five members are needed. The club would then meet once a month, taking on fundraising for community initiatives. For a charter club, 20 members would be needed. When Summerland’s Lions Club was still active, the club held a charity golf tournament to help the Agur Lake Camp Society. The club also worked with the B.C. Lions Society for the purchase of vehicles for the Summerland Transit System. Those interested in forming a branch club or a charter club in Summerland can contact Bray at 250498-3433 or Linda Schaffrick at 250-4983710.

Leukodystrophy I would like to introduce to you a little girl named Emma Grace Tucker, Emma was born May 23, 2012 and she has Canavan Disease. Canavan Disease is one of 40 Leukodystrophies most of which are diagnosed in the first few months of life. These diseases are called orphan diseases because they are so rare. There are only around 500 cases of Canavan Disease known worldwide. When Emma was born there were 2 children living with Canavan Disease in Canada.
is also home to a considerable number of published writers. At 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 27 at the Library we will have the opportunity to hear 10 local authors reading from 10 good books for 10 minutes. These books will range from young adult fiction to spy thrillers, train stories of Alberta and B.C.,to African adventures and a memoir of a child Holocaust survivor. This Culture Days weekend will also see a dozen professional and semi-professional local artists showcasing their works at the ballroom at

Emma Grace Tucker
Canavan Disease is an inherited disorder that causes progressive degenerative damage to nerve cells in the brain. This disease is one of a group of genetic disorders called leukodystrophies. Leukodystrophies are characterized by degeneration of myelin, which is the fatty covering that insulates nerve fibers. Infants with Canavan Disease typically appear normal for the first few months of life. By age 3-5 months affected infants begin having problems with development, including a delay in motor skills such as turning over, controlling head movement and sitting without support. These infants typically also have weak muscle tone (hypotonia), unusually large head size (macrocephaly), abnormal posture, and intellectual disability. Feeding and swallowing difficulties, seizures, and sleep disturbances may also develop. Emma Grace will never crawl, walk, sit or talk. She suffers from seizures daily, has limited muscle tone (she’s ‘floppy’) is developmentally delayed, has trouble swallowing and is blind. Emma’s favorite things are listening to her music (There’s a Hippo in my bath tub!), having a farm book read to her and giggling at those silly noises we make. Wayne, Jennifer and Emma Tucker.
Only two parents who are both carriers can ever risk the chance of having a child with Canavan Disease. Emma’s parents are both carriers. At present time there is no cure for Canavan Disease and the life expectancy of a child born with this is 4 to 10 years. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive. Thank-you for reading Emma’s story and becoming aware of Leukodystrophy and Canavan Disease.
Emma Grace Tucker is the daughter of Wayne & Jennifer Tucker living in Armstrong BC. Granddaughter of Stan & Patricia Hacking, great granddaughter of Hedy Sewell and Jack & Ruth Hacking all of Summerland, BC. Information on Canavan Disease was taken from: http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/canavan-disease/
Museum administrator

Banners to honour Summerland soldiers This year marks the 100th anniversary of the beginning of World War I. One of projects to mark this anniversary is Summerland’s Remembrance Banner project. This is a partnership of the Summerland Legion and the District of Summerland. The intent of this project is to remem-
ber the soldiers who are listed on our cenotaph. At present, 19 banners have been made. The aim of the project is to have street banners on Main Street, Rosedale Avenue and Victoria Road. There still are photographs of eight World War I soldiers and 18 World War II soldiers from the cenotaph who need
banners. (Unfortunately, photographs are not available for all soldiers listed on the cenotaph.) The cost is $186 per banner. The banners are made in Summerland at InkWorks, at the corner of Victoria and Dale Meadows Roads. If you wish to assist with the project, contact David Gregory at 250-494-9030.

Janet Lacy had other commitments the day of the Terry Fox Run but that didn’t stop her from participating in her own way. Last Wednesday afternoon she and two of her sponsors Nancy Strachan and Hettie de Jong were out on Okanagan Lake. Her goal was to paddle board a total of 20 kilometres for the Terry Fox Campaign. Lacy raised $1,200 in sponsorship from local businesses. She said the response from Summerland businesses was amazing. She also said she felt passionate about the cause because of the way cancer touches everyone’s life in one way or another.

The difficult emotions you experienced when you first separated or divorced can return full-force during the holiday season — the sights, sounds and smells of the season trigger unexpected emotions such as loneliness, anxiety, feelings of worthlessness, bitterness, anger and depression. Preparing for these can help you move forward to find moments of joy during the heartache. You need the support of family and friends this holiday season, but you will have to be wise in choosing which of those people are going to be supportive and will help you move through this season in a healthy manner. “You want friends who are going to build you up, who are going to listen to you and nurture you and take you to places that are good, safe places. Protect yourself above all,” advised marriage and family counselor H. Norman Wright. Recognize from the start that this Thanksgiving and Christmas will be different. You cannot recreate past years, and forcing things to be the same will only magnify the differences. It’s time to start creating a flexible, but thorough plan. Start by creating a new, simplified list of things you’d like to do in preparation for the holidays that reflects your reduced
energy level and perhaps your reduced finances. Secondly, decide ahead of time which gatherings you will attend and which you’ll decline. Make sure you are prepared for the times you will be without the kids. Thirdly, though you will want to maintain some traditions, it’s also important to create new traditions. This can switch the focus from what you don’t have to what you do have. DivorceCare Surviving the Holidays is a free two-hour event where you can learn practical, effective strategies to help you make it through the holidays. Held Oct. 5 at Summerland Baptist Church from 5 to 7 p.m., this seminar begins with a video featuring interview clips from respected Christian counselors, psychologists and authors speaking on topics pertinent to people in separation or divorce. The videos also include practical advice from people who’ve experienced a marital breakup and have faced at least one holiday season since then. At Surviving the Holidays, you’ll receive a Holiday Survival Guide. You’ll also spend time with other people who have an idea of what you’re going through and who will accept you as you are without expectations or judgment. This holiday season can be a time of personal growth and peace as you learn to discover joy amidst the heartache. To register or find out more about DivorceCare Surviving the Holidays, call Eunice at 250-4943313.

The adults’ race will be the second of five cross-country races put on by the Interior Running Association and sponsored by the Vernon running and outdoor store, The Starting Block. The 7.4K route will have runners make their way along the relatively flat TransCanada Trail towards Summerland, and then at the 3.5K mark they will head back towards the Rodeo Grounds along a higher trail, which includes a few hills
before a generally flat and downhill 1.5 kilometres to the finish. The adults’ race is suitable for both casual joggers as well as more competitive runners. Last year saw the addition of a 3.2K kids’ race beginning at the same time and 33 runners took part. They ran along the Trans-Canada Trail towards Summerland and then looped back to the start via a 350metre hill. If there are adults who are not up to
each of the five-year age categories for the adults’ race, including a bottle of Sleeping Giant Fruit Winery wine for adult age group winners. There will also be prizes for the top three in the Under 12 as well as the 13 to 15 categories. To register for
either race go to www.zone4.ca. For more information on the 7.4K race, or if you would like to volunteer, please email Bill Head at theheadband@live. com. For more information on the kids’ race please contact Mike Braid at jamibraid@shaw.ca.
