A 1.3-kilometre segment of a multi-use lakeshore trail will be completed this summer. The recreational pathway is the first phase of the Trail of the Okanagans initiative, a proposed trail which will link communities in the valley.

97 from Lakeshore Drive in Summerland to the Summerland RV Park. The recreational pathway is the first part of the Trail of the Okanagans initiative. Organizers hope to extend the multi-use trail throughout the region. “I’ve worked with and learned from some incredible people in North America and over-

seas while developing routes and cycling events,” said Ian Lobb, the newly appointed chair of the trail steering committee. “Our goal is to bring people together and help create a connection to communities for residents and visitors alike to experience the beauty of the Interior.” Earlier, Lobb was involved with the

Waterfront Trail in Ontario. That trail features more than 700 kilometres of pathways around Lake Ontario. Last year in late spring, the province and the municipality announced a total of $500,000 for the first segment of the trail, to be built in Summerland. Under the agreement, the province is contributing $420,000

while the municipality is contributing $80,000. In addition, the municipality had earlier contributed $20,000 for the design concept of the trail. The pathway will be constructed by the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. It is expected to be a minimum of two metres wide. A concrete barrier

will separate it from the shoulder of the highway making it safe for cyclists and pedestrians. The 1.3-kilometre segment is the first phase of the trail project. The second phase will extend the pathway through Trout Creek to Sunoka Provincial Park and to Penticton. The funding and exact route have yet to be determined.

Garbage changes urged to deter bears Black bear interactions in Summerland are an ongoing concern for the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen’s WildSafe coordinator. Last year, 17 per cent of calls to

conservation officers about wildlife encounters were from Summerland. Zoe Kirk, community coordinator of WildSafe, told municipal council last week there are measures which could be

taken to reduce the number of wildlife encounters. She recommends ending the practice of residents setting out their garbage before collection day. The smell of the garbage draws bears

and other wildlife, at times resulting in human-wildlife conflicts. “What we really want to avoid is a high-risk lunch,” she said. In fall, a garbage audit was conducted

in Summerland to On the other She added that determine how many side of Okanagan enforcing a garbage residents were set- Lake, Naramata has bylaw in Summerting out their gar- enforced a garbage land would be an bage early.

A recent article by Jeffrey Miller in the Canadian Bar Association’s magazine the “National” referred to legally minded phrases that people use all the time likely without knowing their exact origins. Here are two: “Round up the usual suspects” - Movie buffs and Humphrey Bogart fans will instantly recognise that as the classic line spoken by Claude Rains as “Louis Renault” the French Vichy Prefect of Police in the movie” Casablanca”. Of course, Louis knew who had committed the crime, but he was in no rush to uncover the real culprit, our hero “Rick”. That line is said to have inspired the idea for a more recent movie called appropriately enough “The Usual Suspects”. A very good movie known for its all-star cast and its surprising final minute reveal. “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time” – Many younger people will say that they have heard Snoop Dog or the group Ub40 sing this line. Many older people will wonder who Snoop Dog or Ub40 are! The reality is that the line was first sung by Sammy Davis Jr. in the mid1970s. It was written into a theme song for the TV Cop show “Baretta” starring Robert Blake. The rest of the story is of course that Mr. Blake went on to have quite a checkered legal history.

EDITORIAL A new trail The first part of the Trail of the Okanagans, a 1.3-kilometre section along the lakeshore in Summerland, is a short but important piece of the proposed trail system. The trail will run parallel to Highway 97 from Lakeshore Drive to the Summerland RV Park, with completion expected this summer. Eventually, as the trail expands, organizers hope to have a system linking Okanagan Valley communities. The cost of the first segment of the trail is $500,000, with $420,000 of this amount coming from the provincial government. The price is significant and a longer trail will come at a high cost. Funding agreements and partnerships will be necessary. However, there are some important advantages to a regional trail. The tourism benefits alone are significant. In Europe, eastern Canada and other areas, trail networks draw visitors and help to bolster tourism and hospitality businesses. A similar trail network here could draw additional tourists to this region. Equally important, the first phase of the trail will provide a safe corridor for pedestrians and cyclists travelling between Trout Creek and Lowertown, separated from the highway. The high volumes of summer traffic on Highway 97 have some cyclists feeling uncomfortable and unsafe there. A trail may serve to bring more activity to this part of the community. Future plans will include extending the trail from Summerland to Penticton and eventually expanding the route to more Okanagan communities. This adds an important link in regional marketing and promotional opportunities for the Okanagan. The larger benefits depend on what happens with the first portion of the trail. Once completed, the Summerland segment will serve as an example of what is possible. With this portion in place, Trail of the Okanagans organizers will have a showpiece as they work to expand.

Okanagan continues to cycle forward One of the most interesting regional developments over the past few years is the continued forward momentum being generated around cycling. This is great news for those of us living here and cycling for recreation and commuting as well as for tourism and tourism related cycling events. And let’s not forget regional economic benefits as those are significant as well. So what’s been happening since last summer? In Lake Country a public campaign has been launched to buy an abandoned CN Rail corridor that runs nearly 50 kilometres from Vernon to Kelowna, through orchards, vineyards and along one of Canada’s most beautiful lakes. A referendum is underway regarding borrowing for

Chamber Corner

Christine Petkau this project and there are other issues to address but if successful, it will be an amazing trail. In Kelowna, the second phase of their Rails with Trails project has been completed. It’s a long term plan but ultimately, this safe, offroad pathway is envisioned to extend from the downtown cultural district to UBC Okanagan Campus, the Kelowna International Airport and beyond. Closer to home

Penticton is making strides on becoming a designated bike precinct. The designation would give the province a clear mandate to improve safety and signage for cyclists in the region and help extend our tourism season into the shoulder months. Penticton, Summerland, and other communities within the RDOS have just wrapped up a major project identifying and mapping cycling routes of interest to recreational riders. This new map will be available just after Easter. Here in Summerland, the new bike pathway from Lower Town to Trout Creek will soon be breaking ground and is expected to be ready for riders by summer. This pathway is cost shared between the Ministry of Transportation and the

District of Summerland and was a major milestone for the Trail of the Okanagans advocacy group. It’s clear that the long-term goal of linking the region from Osoyoos to Shuswap is certainly doable. It’s just a matter of time. And now it’s time for you to have your say. The Chamber of Commerce, on behalf of the District of Summerland, and the Economic Development department of the City of Penticton have utilized a grant provided by BC Healthy Communities to create a cycling survey directed at residents and tourist. Created by the new President of Trail of the Okanagans, Ian Lobb of Penticton, the survey is designed to capture your views on cycling here in Summerland. What do you

want more of — safe routes, signage, cycle amenities? What’s missing from your biking experience? How often are you cycling and why? It’s not a long survey; five minutes should do it. But your views are important. You can link directly to the survey from the district’s home page at www.summerland.ca or the chamber’s at www.summ e r l a n d c h a m b e r. com. Please take a few minutes and share your thoughts. We always appreciate your feedback.

THE EARLY YEARS

This photo may have been taken on an Easter morning in the early 1900s. Dressed in their Sunday best, the Monro children waited by the buggy, ready for the ride to church from their Peach Valley home. The Monro family’s home and peach orchard was located near what is now, appropriately, Monro Avenue. Don your own bonnet on Sunday and have an Easter full of blossoms and smiles.

Treaty trouble has deep roots VICTORIA – Why did the B.C. government suddenly slam the door on their old friend George Abbott, after spending months recruiting him to head up the B.C. Treaty Commission? The instant media narrative, embraced by a shocked Abbott and then by NDP leader John Horgan, was that this was payback for grievances nursed by Premier Christy Clark from the 2011 B.C. Liberal leadership contest. Done on a whim, Horgan said after a week grilling Clark and Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad. Clark is suddenly a sore winner, lashing out, wrecking two decades of careful and costly treatymaking. Like many instant media narratives, this one makes no sense and is almost certainly wrong. If Clark was resentful about the roasting she received from leadership rivals

Abbott and Kevin Falcon, she had an odd way of showing it. She appointed Falcon as finance minister to drive a stake into the harmonized sales tax, and Abbott as education minister to fashion a pre-election truce with the ever-hostile teachers’ union. Both completed their unlikely tasks and retired as heroes of the party in 2013. Outgoing chief treaty commissioner Sophie Pierre was as dismayed as anyone at the news of Abbott’s demise. While the two were in transition meetings, Pierre learned that she was not being replaced, leaving the federal-provincial-First Nations Summit partnership of 22 years in a shambles. Clark went further when questioned by reporters about the sudden reversal. The future of aboriginal relations in B.C. may or may not include the B.C. Treaty Commission.

“There have been some results, but four treaties in 22 years for $600 million is not enough result,” Clark said. “We have to be able to move faster, and we have to find a way to include more First Nations in the process.” That $600 million is mostly loans, from the federal government to First Nations to finance treaty talks. Of every $100 spent trying to honour the century-old duty to sign treaties across B.C., $80 is a loan from Ottawa, $12 is a grant from Ottawa and $8 is a grant from B.C. The plan was for First Nations to repay their loans out of cash settlements made to them for 100-odd years of uncompensated resource extraction, which is now accepted as being contrary to British and Canadian law. It was the bluntspoken Pierre who first acknowledged this hasn’t worked. Some of the 50 First Nations stuck at the

B.C. Views

Tom Fletcher treaty table have borrowed too much to go on, she said last year, calling for an “exit strategy” that forgives debt. The probability of the B.C. government making this decision without talking to the federal paymaster is exactly zero. I’m told the province’s clumsy timing had something to do with Ottawa’s late demands. I asked Clark if her plan to settle land claims faster was anything like the 2009 attempt by Gordon Campbell’s deputy minister Jessica McDonald to negotiate a province-wide

deal declaring aboriginal title. Clark sidestepped the question, saying only that the 150 B.C. First Nations not at the treaty table need a say and a solution too. (McDonald now faces a similar legal gridlock as the Clarkappointed CEO of BC Hydro, trying to build the Site C dam.) Pierre, a veteran administrator from the Ktunaxa Tribal Council in the Kootenays, made a prophetic statement when her term as chief commissioner was extended three years ago. She said if Ottawa isn’t prepared to give federal negotiators a realistic mandate on compensation and sharing of salmon rights, they should “shut ’er down.” Her advice may have been heard after all.

Family affected by war Dear Editor: Since last Thursday, I’ve had several congratulations, compliments and other positive comments from family, friends and other Summerlanders on the Page 15 item in the Summerland Review. All of which, in my view, belong to Carla McLeod for her caring and thoughtful interview and composition. One tiny additional detail, the nights of bombing that she mentions were consecutive nights, Nov. 19 to 22, 1940. Nearly 800 people were killed and more than 2,000 were injured, according to Prime Minister Winston

Churchill. There were four additional single night major Luftwaffe air raids on Birmingham during World War II. Churchill comments, “The spirit of Birmingham shone brightly and its million inhabitants… rode high above their physical suffering.” Then, as a former First Lord of the Admiralty, he adds, “… no matter where the blow was struck, the nation was as strong as the sea is salt.” The Clements family was pleased to be a very modest part of that. Dick Clements Summerland

Dear Editor: This reader, with not a little interest, perused the recent coverage on the expanding universe at Summerland. One is left to wonder if soon there will be so many committees there will be no

time left for a duly constituted council to act deliberatively. Anyway, if committees are the flavour of the day, please add to the roster a Pavement Advisory Committee. Gordon M. Clark Summerland

Fishing Regulations Synopsis available What is NEM aNyWay? A couple of the vitamin lines we carry at Pharmasave have launched new joint health products containing NEM (Natural Eggshell Membrane). What they haven’t communicated well was just what NEM does. Simply put, Natural Eggshell Membrane contains the same nutrients as the cartilage found in our joints in a naturally occurring form. Jamieson Laboratories produced their new “BodyGUARD Joint & Bone” supplement, which contains NEM and marketed “Results in as little as 7-10 days” which is a great improvement upon other Glucosamine supplements which may only show a benefit 4 weeks after you start using it. There are other companies with NEM in their products too (Webber, Natural Factors, Lorna Vanderhaeghe) but until I understood why we should take it, it was difficult to recommend. The take-away from this is NEM is a quickly absorbed and effective joint health supplement which rapidly reduces joint pain and supports strong bones and is a lot more pleasant to take in supplement form than eating egg shells and their attached membranes (gets a little sharp for the gumline). Give NEM products a try if you’re suffering from osteoarthritis and inflammation leading to joint pain. Also, talk to the Live Well Team at Pharmasave about which joint health products might work for you. Dan Cassidy, Nutritional Product advisor.

Lingonberry benefits examined John Arendt Scientists with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada are examining the benefits of lingonberries. Dr. Kelly Ross, a research scientist at the Pacific AgriFood Research Centre in Summerland, is researching the health benefits of the red berries. Lingonberries are similar to cranberries, but have a slightly tart, less bitter flavour. Ross said her research shows nutritional benefits from lingonberries. They are high in antioxidant levels, which can quash the damage from free radicals to cells implicated in the onset of many chronic diseases. Researchers believe the high levels of antioxidants in lingonberries can help to reduce the risk of heart disease and possibly other serious health conditions.

Top science students will show their projects in Summerland later this month during the Central Okanagan Regional Science Fair. The fair will feature science fair projects from students in Grades 6 to 12. It will be held at Summerland Secondary School on Saturday, April 11. “We are fortunate to have scientists from the various businesses and research/ educational facilities in the area volunteer their time and judge our students,” said Shona Becker, chair of the regional science fair. The top projects from the regional science fair will go on to represent the region at the Canada Wide Science Fair in Fredericton, N.B., May 10 to 17. “We’ve had some very strong projects move on to the national fair over the

years and be very successful,” Becker said. “I’m excited to see this year’s batch of projects.” The public is invited to view the projects and meet with

The fibre component also has antioxidant values and may have anti-diabetic properties. Ross said food consumers are interested in the benefits from the foods available to them. “It’s important to provide your body with the best food you can, and it’s important for Canadians to have access to responsible, unbiased scientific data to help make food choices” she said. The berries grow in the boreal forests of northern Manitoba and other cold areas. If lingonberries can be grown commercially in those areas, they can add an economic benefit to the northern communities. At present, the demand for lingonberries outstrips the supply from the wild harvest. Lingonberries are grown commercially in Scandinavian countries, but not in Canada.

demic proportions. More than 2.4 million Canadians have

diabetes and up to another 20 per cent have not been diag-

nosed. This number is expected to rise with estimates as high as 3.7 million by 2019. Diabetes is a lifelong condition affecting the way the body processes sugar from the food we eat. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form, accounting for 90 per cent of all cases. With this type of diabetes, the body does not use the insulin properly or the pancreas does not make enough insulin. Type 2 diabetes generally occurs slowly and many people have no symptoms. Most manage their diabetes with lifestyle strategies such as healthy eating, exercise, maintaining a healthy weight and managing stress.

Some people require medications such as pills or insulin. Those with diabetes are more likely to develop long term health problems such as cardiovascular disease (heart/stroke), kidney disease, blindness and circulation impairment which may lead to amputations. Many of those with diabetes also have other chronic (longterm) diseases. More than a third of those in Canada report having more than two chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, arthritis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This cost of diabetes is not only felt by the patient but also the health care

Climate change. It can be overwhelming. But Summerland’s Earth Week Committee, representing a wide-variety of groups, organizations and individuals, is up to the challenge and they hope you are too. The sixth annual Earth Week celebration is about community — friends and family getting together to learn more about what we can do to change climate change. The array of events and activities are fun, educational, handson and thought provoking. The week starts with the Trout Creek Community Cleanup on Sunday, April 19 from 10 a.m. to noon. The meet-up location is the Trout Creek Hot-Spot pullout. Other neighbourhoods have joined the challenge. Residents from the Lakeshore and Peach Orchard neighbourhoods will be cleaning up their communities too. For more information contact Helen Ponce-

lot at: 250-494-9454 On Monday, April 20, you can learn how to grow more food with less space, less seed and less effort. Join Toni Boot’s Square Foot Gardening Workshop (10 a.m. to noon) Call 250494-4617 to register. Wednesday April 22 is National Earth Day. Summerland will be celebrating with two main events. Earth Day by the Water at Peach Orchard Park (from 1 to 4 p.m.) includes displays by the Trout Hatchery and Agur Lake Society that highlight the importance of our local waters. Join historian David Gregory and a local biologist on a tour of Summerland’s waterfront and riparian ecosystem. Call 250-494-0728 to register for the walk. Also on Wednesday, the Summerland Philosophers’ Café is sponsoring a discussion on, Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Western Science: A Dialogue.

Carol Stathers system. Those with diabetes have more visits to their physician and specialist, and are more likely to be hospitalized. These costs are expensive but also directly affect quality of life for the patient. At the Interior Health Summerland Diabetes and Nutrition clinic, we focus on “self-management.”

We provide those with diabetes the skills to help manage their diabetes through education as well as assisting in setting and reaching their goals. Examples of goals may include increasing exercise, eating more vegetables or quitting smoking. We are here to support any of your healthy living goals. Upcoming sessions on diabetes, nutrition, goal setting, foot and eye care are held throughout the year. To learn more about these sessions or book an individual appointment with the nurse or dietitian call 250-770-530. Carol Stathers is a nurse educator with Interior Health Summerland Diabetes and Nutrition program.

PARCEL TAX ROLL REVIEW Pursuant to the provisions of Division 4 (Parcel Taxes) of Part 7 of the Community Charter, the District of Summerland has the Parcel Tax Roll available for inspection and will consider amendments. Each year there is a parcel tax levied on all properties within the service areas for water and sewer. The amount of the water parcel tax is $285 and the amount of the sewer parcel tax is $200. The parcel tax is collected to pay for debt servicing costs for the water treatment plant, the wastewater treatment plant and the supply and collection networks for the utilities. These amounts will be charged on the 2015 property tax notice. The parcel tax roll is available for review at the District of Summerland Municipal Hall, 13211 Henry Avenue in Summerland between the hours of 8:30am and 4:00pm, Monday to Friday. The Parcel Tax Roll Review Panel will meet at 6:00pm on Monday, April 27, 2015 in Council Chambers at Municipal Hall to hear complaints from any property owner regarding: an error or omission respecting a name or address on the parcel tax roll; an error or omission respecting the inclusion of a parcel; and/or an exemption has been improperly allowed or disallowed. In order for a complaint to be heard by the panel, written notice of the complaint must be given to the District of Summerland at least 48 hours before the time of the meeting. To leave a written notice after hours, please use the drop box located to the left of the front entrance doors.

Time for Spring A/C Service

Many homeowners take up gardening to transform their homes with beautiful flowers and foliage, while others do so to yield fresh fruits and vegetables. But gardening can be more than just a weekend hobby. In fact, it may be especially beneficial for homeowners to surround themselves with more plants and natural decor, whether in the yard or in the home. Studies have indicated that gardening can be good for the mind and body. In addition to improving mood and reducing stress, plant life and gardening also may help people have a more hopeful outlook on life. If reaping the benefit of a beautiful landscape is not reason enough to get into garden-

ing, elevating your mood and coping with depression or illness may be even further motivation to start developing your green thumb. Home-design trends seem to be following suit, offering individuals more opportunities to surround themselves with potentially therapeutic plants. Explore these emerging and established garden décor trends to try in and around your home. · Living wall planters: A living wall planter can add greenery to any décor without taking up ﬂoor or table space. Ideal for outdoor structures, these planters also can be used indoors if you safeguard against leaks and dripping. A living wall planter is a framed device that houses plants in a manner that enables them to be vertically mounted to a wall surface. While there are commercially available models, you can create your own design and paint or stain it to match the existing décor. Use a soil-free potting substrate to avoid the mess that regular soil may create. · Combining ﬁsh with gardening: Enjoy the best of two relaxing worlds by installing a water feature in your yard. Garden retailers offer ready-made kits that can make fast work of establishing a pond or other wa-

ter feature in the backyard. Otherwise, there are plenty of water garden companies and installers who can suggest a design and put in your desired water features. Add fish suitable for outdoor life to your pond. These include koi and certain goldfish varieties. Game fish are discouraged because they can destroy pond plants. If an outdoor pond is more maintenance than you desire, consider an indoor aquarium with a combination of fish and live aquarium plants. · Creative furniture designs: Maybe you're a person who appreciates the unique and whimsical? Tables, benches and chairs can be built with planting channels that enable you to have greenery and garden décor in one piece. Envision a picnic table with a cutout down the center for a thin row of plants or decorative grasses. This is a project the entire family can get behind, as the more creative ideas the better. · Improved outdoor lighting: People who like to spend time in their gardens and yards may not want to be limited by sunrise and sunset. By incorporating different lighting sources, you can create a retreat that is welcoming at any hour. Although flood lights and overhead lights can illumi-

nate a space, consider ambient and decorative lighting to create the desired ambiance. · Functional fire pits and places: A blazing fire creates a cozy spot to gather on chilly evenings, but fire pits and fireplaces also can be used as impromptu cooking spots for s'mores or frankfurters on a stick. You can purchase a stand-alone fire pit from any number of retailers or build your own with patio pavers and fire bricks to line the interior of the fire pit. Outdoor fireplaces require more work, and you want to hire a mason to ensure proper installation. · Enjoyable yard additions: While plants and seating may take center stage, some

people still want to have fun in their yards. There's an increased demand for yard designs and décor that can put the fun in backyard living. Bocce courts, ring- or horseshoe-toss setups, as well as bean bag-toss boards, can be incorporated into landscape designs, giving you yet another reason to spend a few hours in the great outdoors, where you can experience a few healthy laughs in the process. Gardening and spending time outdoors are great hobbies and may even boost your mood. Homeowners can explore the popular trends in garden décor and natural elements that they can enjoy inside and outside of their homes.

Once again the members of the Penticton Flying Club are hosting their annual COPA for Kids event. This is a national program operated through the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association and sponsored by AIG Insurance Company of Canada. COPA for Kids in Canada has developed from the Young Eagles program that was created in 1992 by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) in the United States and now around the world. To date in Canada COPA members have flown over 10,000 junior aviators. The mission of the COPA for Kids Program is to provide a motivational aviation experience focusing on an introductory flight in a light aircraft. These flights are provided completely free of charge to any youths between eight and 17 years of age. The program consists of a 20-minute “ground school” where the junior aviator learns safety around the flight line, the theory of flight, working parts of the aircraft and also the opportunity for lots of questions. In this area, participating pilots usually fly more than 120 youths in the three to four hours beginning Sunday, May 9 at 9 a.m. Youths and parents are asked to visit www.copaforkids.org and print off the brochure and registration form. Bring the completed form and waiver to the Penticton Flying Club Les Abbey Way between 9 and 11 a.m.

It’s cut and dried.” Over the last few years Wilson feels they have learned a lot about how to pick a good team. “We pick good

people first, hockey players second,” he said. Hockey is about learning life skills as much as it is about playing the game, Wilson explained. The players learn teamwork, respect, commitment and how to deal with the public. They are also kept very busy with school, jobs and volunteering with minor hockey. This is on top

of the 111 practices and 69 games held each season. The majority of players never make it to the National Hockey League, but the goal is to get to the next level and to gain scholarships. “In our last two seasons we have moved nine players on to Junior A which is the next level,” said Wilson. “Two of our older players

This is just a small selection of the music you will hear. They will also be joined by some guests including the Penticton Academy of Music Youth

It will be an exciting afternoon of great music so get your tickets early. As I mentioned last week, we have some great live theatre as well.

I take them to the doc-

This includes helping to wash 1,100 loads of laundry and sharpening 1,800 pairs of skates every season. He said the owners rely heavily on their volunteers to help out with the many tasks. “Our list of volunteers is huge and we need more,” he said. He also said they would be “dead in the water” if it was not for the billet families. “It’s a lot of work…they are special people.” When it comes to fan support Wilson said it is getting better every year. “This year our average was 191.

Energy use Annual spring concerts held drops during Arts PAlette Earth Hour British Columbians saved 15 megawatts of electricity around the province during Earth Hour on Saturday evening. B.C. Hydro officials said the annual onehour event reduced electrical consumption by 0.2 per cent, or the equivalent of turning off 680,000 LED light bulbs. Earth Hour is held around the world

each year to encourage energy conservation. People and businesses are urged to run off unnecessary lights, electronics and appliances for one hour, from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. Around the province, the largest energy reduction was in Whistler, where the electricity load was reduced by 7.2 per cent. In Invermere, the reduction was 6.7 per cent. The reduction in Summerland was 0.5 per cent.

One of the wonderful things about spring, in addition to daffodils, the arrowroot balsam root sunflowers on Giant’s Head and the orchards beginning to blossom is the arrival of spring concerts. So far we’ve had a mariachi band and Anything Goes, the annual spring concert by The Tune Agers. At the end of April, Musaic Vocal Ensemble will present their annual spring concert. Musaic Vocal Ensemble has been busy over the winter preparing their spring concert and they are now ready to Rise Again in song. You are invited to

Summerland Review Thursday, April 2, 2015

Moving on following an injury Injuries can be disappointing, uncomfortable and frustrating to say the least. At some point we will all experience a much unwelcomed injury that either slows us down or forces us to take an alternate route. With most spring recreation programs commencing this week and next, one may ask if they should still sign up for a yoga, pilates or fitness class if they are injured? I turned to Madeleine Harrington to get her advice both as a former fitness instructor and someone committed to staying fit in the presence of arthritic pain. Madeleine started Summerland’s most popular fitness program, Nifty Fifties, almost 25 years ago. She was a teacher, fitness instructor, and owned a fitness centre in Kelowna for 15 years. At the age of 50, she moved to Summerland and rallied to create a fitness program for those 50+ years of age. Many didn’t think she could

gather the numbers for a successful program, and her answer was “Let me try.” And she did. Within two years, she had to cap the class at 50 participants and add a second class. About six years ago, Madeleine handed the class over and now instructors Lynn Ellis and Claire Waterman run what remains today as the highest participated classes in Summerland. Madeleine’s tips to move forward with injury: Moderation: Continue exercise in moderation when having pain or injury. Adapt: If you can’t do a move, adapt. If you are taking a class, ask and the instructor will modify it for you. Always continue. Never, never stop. If you stop your body will deteriorate. You will go from excellent condition to poor, to in bed, to totally immobile. Work with your injuries, not against them. There is always an alternative. For some people it’s

LEISURE TIMES

Joanne Malar yoga, for others it’s walking. My favourite exercise equipment is the elliptical trainer. It’s easy on your joints, it’s safe and you can get a good cardio workout compared to walking where your heart rate stays low. Be a priority. Your priority each day should be to take care of yourself. Then you will be able to function well for the day, with each other, at work, with society and be a productive individual. Remember to: o Confirm with your family doctor that you are able to continue physical activity with your injury. o Always inform

your fitness instructor at the beginning of class of your injury so they can adapt the program to your needs. o If weight bearing exercise is painful, remember that swimming is a nonweight bearing exercise and a total body workout. You can swim laps (or learn to), put on a running belt to run in the deep water or join an Aquafit class. Brenda Ingram, recreation manager reminds us that, “Sometimes we feel that we don’t want to take a class if we are not 100 per cent as we don’t want to be judged. Know that people aren’t here to judge you, they are here to accept you. The Recreation staff is here to make you feel welcome and help you reach your goals.” Joanne Malar is the program coordination for Summerland Recreation, three-time Olympic swimmer, 2012 Olympic Commentator, kinesiologist and holistic nutritionist.

Recope participants swim into health Keith Dixon Special to the Review

Three mornings each week people with a variety of health problems gather at the Summerland Aquatic and Fitness Centre to do exercises on land or in the pool. They are referred by their family physicians, guided by professional fitness instructors and supervised by a qualified occupational therapist. A registered nurse is always on duty. The program is known as Recope, originally an acronym. Though most members can’t remember what each letter originally stood for, it was this: Recreational, Exercise, Coordinating, Opportunity, Physiotherapy, Enjoyment. But participants do know what it is all about and just call it Recope. The new tagline is, “Move better, feel better, live better.” Elaine Sears has been attending for just over a year, hoping the exercise will help her gain greater control of her body. A brain injury causes tremors in her limbs. She is pleased with the improvement she is experiencing. Ernie Panich, who had polio in 1955, led a productive life from a wheelchair. He then discovered about 14 years ago that his arms and legs were weakening. Not being able to play the violin any longer alarmed him. Recope turned out to be the perfect recipe to deal

with his post polio symptoms. Besides swimming regularly, he is on the Recope board of directors. Joan Guldner was in a wheel chair when she joined Recope 22 years ago. Recovery from a broken back, and then later a broken pelvis was hastened by the exercises, and she regained her ability to walk . As a senior she finds continuing the exercises keep her fit at a time in her life when movement and stamina are diminishing. Saty Devi Mohan began to have problems with arthritis thirty years ago. Her doctor urged her to get involved with Recope. She did, and she found that regular exercises in the shallow end of the pool helped maintain her mobility and reduced her pain. At 99 she is the oldest person in the program.

“We provide a medically supervised exercise program for people with various medical conditions,” said Jean Munro, who manages the program. “We have a land class run in the centre as well as the water program. We run a shallow end as well as a deep end class. In the land class we run a chair class and standing class focused largely on balance and fall prevention. We have a registered nurse and occupational therapist available during all program times.” Munro explains the special advantage of therapy in a pool. “It is really nice to be able to move freely without fear of falling and not being affected by gravity so much.” Vivian Beattie, chairman of the Recope board of directors, says Recope is the only program of

its kind in the province. Recope is a nonprofit organization that is supported by partial funding from IH (Interior Health), client’s participation fees and generous donations through fund raising efforts of the board. The Summerland Health Care Auxiliary (thrift store) donates regularly. Beattie states that other places have tried unsuccessfully to duplicate Recope. They failed usually as a result of not having a solid base of volunteers. Moira Lipscombe has been a volunteer for nearly two years. She helps clients in the dressing room and offers support in the water. Watching clients become more confident in the water and seeing their health improve makes volunteering well worthwhile to her. Mitz Hikichi start-

“Dick was born and raised in the south Okanagan in a family keenly interested in natural history,” said Ian Graham, chair of the parks society. “Over the years, the Cannings family has contributed greatly to the public’s knowledge of that history. Our society is therefore particularly pleased that Dick will be our guest speaker as we celebrate our 50th AGM.” Cannings has produced regular radio items on natural his-

t o r y themes for CBC a n d taught c o n tinuing educat i o n Dick courses Cannings on birding and nature. He has also led about 50 natural history tours to destinations around the world including Asia, Africa, South America and Australia. Cannings works

part-time for Bird Studies Canada, where he co-ordinates Canadian Christmas Bird Counts, the eBird program and the British Columbia Owl Survey. He also does consulting work on species at risk in the Okanagan Valley. The meeting and presentation will be held at Centre Stage Theatre. Admission is free; donations are welcome.

ed volunteer work about 18 years ago. His laughter sets a positive tone in the change room, on the pool deck and in the water. The challenge of working out efficient access techniques for clients who have major mobil-

ity problems is very satisfying to him. Anne Schulte, a retired nurse, has been a volunteer for 20 years, said the friendly social environment at Recope lifts the spirits of people who are lonely and discouraged.

Mavis Billington was enticed by a neighbour to join the volunteer team 21 years ago. She appreciated the basic training she received in handling clients and enjoys seeing them recover their health. Recope was organized in 1976 by George Morrison, a local physician. The swimming pool was used as a therapy venue, with a nurse, physiotherapist and occupational therapist from the Summerland Hospital doing treatment. In 1990 the program expanded to include land and water therapy, with 25 volunteers assisting in the rented facilities at the same pool. Recope hopes to have a website up and running at recope.ca within the next six months. Email recopeprogram@gmail. com Phone/fax 250494-9006 or mail to P.O. Box 1625, Summerland, B.C. V0H 1Z0.

Cannings to discuss natural history Well-known naturalist and author Dick Cannings will be the guest speaker following the Okanagan Similkameen Parks Society’s annual general meeting on April 17 at 7 p.m. Based on his award-winning book British Columbia: A Natural History, newly published in a revised third edition, Cannings’s presentation will include intriguing, in-depth stories about life in our province’s diverse ecosystems.

God saw you getting tired When a cure was not to be So He wrapped His arms around you And whispered “Come to Me.” You didn’t deserve what you went through And so He gave you rest. God’s garden must be beautiful He only takes the best.

IN MEMORY OF JOAN DOREEN WOITTE

(Long time resident of Summerland) who fought a brave and courageous battle with Dementia and passed peacefully with family by her side at Dr. Andrews Pavillion in Summerland on Friday, March 27, 2015 in her 76th year. Survived by her loving daughters: Shelley (Jim) of Clearwater, Terri (Keith) of Summerland; Grandchildren: Kim, Luke, Jessica and great grandchildren: Jarrod, Justice and Jasper. Predeceased by husbands Walter (1983) and Glen (1991), grandson Aaron (1990), mother Eleanor(1999) and father Jack (2000) and sister Linda (2011). Love and gratitude to Mom’s forever friends: Roz, Maggie, Donna and Terry. Mom loved you all very much. Thank you to our family and friends for their love and support at this difficult time. We would like to thank the manager (Cathy) and the amazing care staff at Dr. Andrews Pavillion for the exceptional care and love they showed Mom. “Angels really do walk among us.” Thank you to the Harbour family for giving Bo a loving home. She will rest knowing he is safe. A special thank you to Karen (Mom’s third daughter) for what you have done for our family. There are no words. “Mom, we love you and will forever miss you!” A garden party to celebrate Mom’s life will be held in the Summerr of 2015 date to be announced.

Laura passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with brain cancer. She was a wonderful mother to Jessica (Jamie Hann) and grandmother to Jayce of Beaumont, AB. Laura is survived by her parents Clifford and MaryAnn Schmidt of Summerland, her sister and best friend Barbara Schmidt of Penticton as well as Elizabeth Harris of Calgary. Our deepest thanks to the staff of Moog and Friends, and Dr. Tim Phillips for their dedicated care during this difÀcult time. Laura requested no service. She will be loved and remembered by her family, friends and the clients she served.

Klaus-Peter Fellenz (MD, FRCPC, FAAP) Mar 2, 1930 - Feb 20, 2015

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Klaus-Peter Fellenz. He will be greatly missed by his wife Elaine, his children Hanns, Mathias, Suzanne, Roswitha and Justin, their spouses Catherine, Lora and Bruce, and step-sons Rory and Nicholas. He was a proud and loving “Opa” to 11 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren, who now live in BC, Alberta and Ontario. Following his father and grandfather, Klaus-Peter obtained his medical degree in Germany. He then traveled to the United States in 1955, practicing medicine in New York, Toledo, and Atlanta, where he completed his specialty training as a paediatrician. He attained his Paediatric Cardiology specialization at UBC after immigrating to Canada in 1959. He eventually settled in Kamloops in 1961 where he lived and worked for nearly 50 years. His passion for children’s health and well-being was central in his role as a Paediatrician, and also in his many years of service on the Kamloops School Board where he took a leadership role in the healthy children programmes. Elaine and Klaus moved to Summerland in 2009 when Elaine became the United Church Minister in Peachland. Klaus enjoyed reading, and riding his beloved scooter around the countryside and to local wineries in Summerland so much that he had to replace the original one. Klaus-Peter was a pioneer in paediatric cardiology, and his legacy lives on in the hundreds of people who would not have survived had it not been for his skill and commitment to his patients. A service will be held in his memory at the Peachland United Church, on Saturday, April 11, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. If you have memories that you would like to share, please send them to Dr.KlausFellenz@outlook.com

Freda Storey With great sadness we announce the passing of Freda Storey on March 25, 2015 in Whitehorse, Yukon. Born in London, England in 1922, Freda was a Meteorological Officer in the WAAF during WWII, and emigrated to Canada with her family in 1955. She was an active member of the community of Summerland, B.C. for over fifty years. In 2007, she moved to Whitehorse to be near her family, and she happily settled into life in the north. We will miss her great spirit and athleticism, her love of lively music, her very creative imagination, and her readiness to laugh even when life became more difficult for her. She was predeceased by her husband Ken and her daughter Janet, but leaves children David, Gina, and Alan, eleven grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren. A service will be held at the Whitehorse United Church on April 16, 2015 at 1pm.
