A task force has been formed to develop a cultural plan for the community. “It is important to have a cultural plan in place, since culture is such a significant aspect of our community and a major part of our strategic plan,” Mayor Peter Waterman said. “Cultural planning is vital to the development and maintenance of a successful, unique, creative and sustainable community that is attractive for people to work, live and visit.” The plan will shape the municip a l i t y ’ s “We want to recognize approach that this is a strong, to cul- active part of our comt u r a l munity.” developPeter Waterman ment.

B.C. veterans begin cross-Canada ride Tom Fletcher Black Press

Moving boats

Art More Special to the Review

Brian Wilkey, past commodore and house director (white hat, black jacket, under boat), gives directions as his boat, “Takin’ Care of Business” is lifted into the lake after winter storage. Boating season began with lift-in at Summerland Yacht Club on Saturday. Approximately 20 boats were lifted in by crane, while the remainder were launched from trailers. Summerland Yacht Club has about 169 members, the majority from Summerland.

Quesnel rancher Paul Nichols kicked off a cross-Canada horseback ride Monday to introduce a new generation of veterans to the public and seek their support. Nichols, who served with Canadian troops during ethnic warfare in the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s, struggled to control his emotions at a ceremony at the B.C. legislature. Accompanied by

other B.C. veterans and his wife Terry, a therapeutic riding instructor, Nichols plans to connect with 700 veterans in an eight-month journey ending in St. John’s, Newfoundland. The ride includes stops in Abbotsford, Chilliwack Hope, Princeton, Summerland, Kelowna, Vernon and Armstrong before continuing into Alberta in May. For more information about the ride, and to follow its progress, see their website at communitiesforveterans.com.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Canada vs. The USA Do you believe we are becoming more and more like our American cousins? Well, in some respects their culture has been a very big influence on ours. Whether or not that is a good thing is a matter of opinion and for that matter who=s opinion it is. From a legal stand point, there are many areas where the American judicial system has encountered situations years ahead of the Canadian experience and as a result has been used as a guide by the Canadian courts in dealing with that situation. One aspect of our two legal systems will never be the same however, and that is the influence that juries play in creating law and awards. In America, a jury has a relatively free reign in handing out awards in civil matters. In Canada there are strict limitations on the amounts a Judge or Jury can award. The reason for this column? An article in the Canadian Lawyer Magazine estimated the value of all monetary awards given by juries in the US in 2002. The number was $283 BILLION dollars. Something to think about.

EDITORIAL A plan for arts Summerland’s arts and cultural components will receive some special recognition as a task force has been formed to develop a community cultural plan. The 15-member task force, announced at the municipal council meeting on Monday evening, will develop the plan in consultation with the rest of the community. For years Summerland has had a vibrant arts and cultural presence and a reputation for its local arts. Paintings by Irvine Adams and plays by George Ryga have received critical acclaim around the world. Summerland is home to a number of acclaimed artists, while others from the community have gone on to establish themselves in the arts in Canada, the U.S. and Europe. Summerland’s arts and culture sector also benefits the community as a whole. Events such as the annual Good Will Shakespeare Festival help to bring visitors from around the province to Summerland. The effects of bringing visitors to the community are in addition to any benefits or quality of life enhancements resulting from a vibrant arts and cultural component. The municipality has been recognizing the value of arts and culture. Earlier this year, when council’s strategic plan was presented, arts and culture was included as one of four pillars in the plan. While it is easy to recognize the value of arts and culture, defining a cultural plan which accurately represents the community will be a much more difficult task. It will require participation and input from the entire community, not just from those involved in the arts. Over the next year, as work progresses on the plan, it is important to ensure the resulting document represents all Summerlanders.

B.C. treaty cash cow may dry up VICTORIA – The B.C. Treaty Commission and its federal and provincial financiers put on a brave show last week, celebrating a “milestone” in negotiations for a modern treaty with five Vancouver Island First Nations. A regional group representing the Songhees, Beecher Bay, T’Souke, Malahat and Snaw-NawAs (Nanoose) First Nations have reached the “agreement in principle” stage of negotiations with Canada and B.C., after 20 years of treaty talks. This is similar to the treaty finalized in 2007 with another five-member Vancouver Island group called Maa-Nulth First Nations. The Te’mexw Treaty Association agreed to accept 1,565 hectares of provincial Crown land and $142 million in federal cash to settle its historic aboriginal title. Alas, agreement in principle is but the fourth of sixth stages. Now a platoon of

B.C. Views

Tom Fletcher lawyers takes over from the roomful of negotiators to produce the final legal text. It will be years before this treaty can be presented to the B.C. legislature and the House of Commons in Ottawa, if it ever is. These elaborate ceremonies will never be viewed the same again after the release of federal treaty advisor Doug Eyford’s report last month. The Te’mexw event seemed to have an extra urgency after Eyford’s observation that much of this costly activity has become a job creation program for those involved.

These Vancouver Island communities deserve credit for setting aside their own territorial disputes. It’s more than most have done. Eyford concluded after a long summer of meetings last year that many treaty negotiation teams in this province and across the country show no such inclination. In B.C. and elsewhere in Canada, there is a “conspicuous lack of urgency in negotiations” and “sharp divisions” between parties, most of which have been at the table for a decade or more, Eyford found. This is what has come to be known as the “aboriginal industry,” where lawyers and consultants have a seemingly endless supply of lucrative work, much of it of questionable value. For some aboriginal participants, attending treaty meetings year after year is the best paying job they have ever had. Indeed, a com-

mon feature of the province’s dealings with aboriginal communities is that their leaders demand meetings, and then demand to be paid to attend them. This latest Vancouver Island treaty, assuming it is ever finalized, would at least in part replace the Douglas Treaties, signed by B.C.’s colonial governor James Douglas in the 1850s. These treaties around Fort Victoria were quickly concluded if nothing else. The Beecher Bay Band was paid 45 pounds, 10 shillings for most of Sooke and another 43 pounds and change for its Metchosin territory. One of the biggest missing pieces in the latest agreement in principle is the share of federally-regulated fisheries. This has been a theme of B.C. Treaty Commission reports in recent years, as Ottawa holds up treaties for years because it is unable or unwilling to offer shares of salmon in particular.

Hunting and fishing rights are acknowledged even in historic treaties, and reaffirmed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Sharing these rights while maintaining conservation of fish stocks has been more than Ottawa, and in some cases neighbouring aboriginal communities, have been able to manage. Eyford’s findings, and the B.C. government’s sudden refusal to keep staffing a B.C. Treaty Commission that shows so little progress, have sent one overdue message. If participants aren’t prepared to make real compromises and show a willingness to conclude agreements rather than drag them out, they should leave and come back when they are ready to do so.

THE EARLY YEARS

Happy week-long Earth Day!

Though Earth Day wasn’t established in 1909, Walter and Lizzie Verity likely would have agreed with the idea. It seems like every square foot surrounding their tent house was flourishing with flowers and vegetables thanks to good earth. And speaking of square foot gardening, be sure to check out the events happening in our community next week. From Sunday to Sunday, almost every day features an activity to inspire each of us to make a difference, support the environment and be nice to the earth. Click the link at summerlandchamber.com.

Prizes offered for yard beautification Dear Editor: If you have been thinking of doing some major renovations of your front yard, and perhaps

going to some easycare, little watering plants, you might consider taking some before and after pictures so that you can

enter them in the Summerland Fall Fair. Some good prize money is being offered for the best

before and after yard renovations, if you remember to take some pictures of what your yard looks like now and what it will

look like after you’re finished. Please mention this to your neighbours if you see them working on their yard.

Also, don’t forget the other cash prizes being offered at the Fall Fair for exceptional front and back yards as well as those

with xeriscape landscaping. Keep taking those pictures. Frank Martens Summerland

Dear Editor: It is estimated that B.C. has the potential to develop 30 new mines in the coming years representing $30 billion in capital investment. If developed, these mines would be the direct result of decades of successful prospecting and exploration work. Although very few exploration projects ever reach the development stage, each one creates value along the way for British Colum-

bians through community and regional economic development: i.e., jobs as well as goods and services purchased province-

wide. Exploration also increases our geological knowledge of B.C. and lays the groundwork

for future exploration. In a world that is increasingly results oriented, the tangible results from exploration projects can be

seen in such recent mines as the New Afton gold mine, the Mount Milligan copper-gold mine, and most recently the

Brucejack gold mine. Without exploration none of these mines would exist and we would all be the poorer for it, not

the least of which the B.C. families who rely on these mines for their livelihoods. Justina Harris Coquitlam

Mine projects could bring benefits to B.C.

Thanks to staff at hospital

Dear Editor: Within the past week I had to undergo two surgeries at the Penticton hospital. My thanks to Dr. Crofts, Dr. Marschall, the nurses who looked after my care and comfort, and all the staff for their terrific assistance. Ron Hepner Summerland

Canvasser active for 24 years Antonovitch collected donations for Canadian Cancer Society

Funding given for sponsorship Most of the funding needed to sponsor a Syrian refugee family has been received. The family arrived in Summerland in late March, sponsored by the Summerland United Church. The costs of sponsorship for the family’s first year in Canada are estimated at $18,000. David Sparks, cochair of the church’s sponsorship committee, said the support has been significant. “We got an unexpected grant,” he said. “It’s made a big difference.” By the time the

Carla McLeod Special to the Review Summerland residents living in the Canyon View Road area may have noticed something different the last couple of Aprils. No longer has Ed Antonovitch been pulling up on his bicycle and coming to their doors, canvassing for the Canadian Cancer Society as he had done faithfully for 24 years. “I started from Canyon View Road at the bridge that went across the Canyon and went all the way up to the golf course and did all the side streets off of there,” explained Antonovitch. “I did that the first week in April and people were always ready with their cheques. They knew I was coming.” Antonovitch and his wife have lived in Summerland for 50 years. Arriving in 1965, he opened Ed’s Radio and T.V. He operated his shop until he retired in 1994. For his retirement, his children bought him and his wife each

family had arrived, the church had raised roughly $8,000 for sponsorship costs. Sparks said the family of five are making the adjustments to life in Canada. The parents, Mohammed Hussam Albetar and Nadya Alsagher, are studying English at the South Okanagan Immigrant Resources Centre in Penticton. Their three children, Bayan, Razan and Ghassan Albeter are enrolled in schools in Summerland. “People have been really good about helping them,” Sparks said.

Fundraising effort

For many years, Ed Antonovitch canvassed the Canyon View Road area for the Canadian Cancer Society.

He enjoyed meeting the people and listening to how cancer had affected their lives. “Boy, some of the sad stories I ran across, that cancer was doing to those people,” he said.

Speaking of his volunteer work she said, “I thought it was a good thing he was doing….a wonderful thing really.” Antonovitch is no longer able to continue in this type of service. “I had to retire because my legs and back wouldn’t let me do anything anymore,” he explained. Although his body may be weak, his spirit remains strong. “I’d like to get my bicycle and go out again,” he said. The Cancer Society recognized Antonovitch for his years of service by mailing him a certificate expressing their appreciation. Antonovitch said he was not looking for publicity. “I just liked doing it and riding my bicycle and that was it,” he said. Although he did not want publicity, he said he did hope that by sharing his experience as a volunteer with the Cancer Society, that it might encourage others to volunteer themselves.

Getting Your Home Ready For Sale

Spring is officially here and many of you have spent the winter months wondering if you should put your home up for sale. In today’s real estate market, it is important to highlight your home’s strengths in order to capture the greatest number of prospective buyers. You may want to consider some of these helpful tips on home staging to see what a difference these simple principles can make. What is home staging? Quite simply it is the process of preparing your residence for sale in the real estate marketplace. • We are all collectors and selling means getting rid of the clutter. Pick a room, grab a box or two and start selecting items to put away. Less is more when it comes to showcasing your home, so if you have 20 photos on the wall choose one or two for display and put the rest away. Depersonalizing your rooms will help prospective purchasers imagine their own belongings in your home. Pare down accessories and remove extra furniture to allow your rooms to look bigger. Clutter is distracting and you want the real estate traffic coming through your home to be focused. • This same principle holds true for cabinets, and bookshelves and don’t forget the closets. Every home has one closet that you hope nobody opens. Getting ready to sell means addressing the architectural nightmare you may have created in there. • As you begin to de-clutter room by room, find an alternative location for your belongings and try not to make it the garage. The man cave needs to be organized as well. If you are thinking of selling your home you are thinking of moving, and getting rid of the clutter is a great way to promote your home in its best light and make the move to your new home easier. Get started, get it done and give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done. Read next week’s paper for my follow up article entitled, “Let it Shine”. If you are considering taking advantage of the spring real estate market, give me a call. I would love to assist you.

Planning begins for Culture Days Earlier this week Nazanin Shoja, BC Culture Days Coordinator made a presentation to people interested in increasing Summerland’s participation in what is B.C.’s largest celebration of arts, culture and heritage — namely Culture Days. This year Culture Days will take place Sept. 25 to 27 in all provinces and territories across the country. So what is Culture Days? Culture Days is a collaborative movement to encourage awareness, participation and engagement of all Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities. Now in its sixth year, this Canadawide celebration represents the largestever public participation campaign undertaken by the arts and cultural community in this country. Culture Days will feature free hands-on activities that invite the public to participate in the “behindthe-scenes” world of artists, creators, historians, architects, curators, and designers at work. Through this exchange, artists and creators have a unique opportunity

Arts PAlette

David Finnis to engage people of all ages in their creative practice. In previous years Culture Day activities in Summerland have included shows at the Summerland Art Gallery, exhibits at the Summerland Museum, various workshops and other events. In addition various artists invited people to their art studios and, of course the Kettle Valley Steam Railway continued their magnificent work of bringing railway history to life. It will be interesting to see what special activities take place this fall during Culture Days. A positive spin-off of last year’s Culture Days, in our neighbour to the north, was the creation of the first arts council on the Westside. Suk’wtemsqilxw

West Kelowna Arts Council, was officially launched in February after many participants, artists and businesses alike, voiced their enthusiasm and support of a westside artwork following last year’s Westside Culture Days. However, before Culture Days comes Earth Day and in Summerland, the sixth annual Earth Week celebrations with many different activities including an historic walk along Summerland’s beautiful waterfront and Lower Town, an Imagination Station at the Arts Centre and the Blue, Green and Clean program at the Summerland Library. The award-winning film, Elemental, will be shown at Centre Stage Theatre and a Philosophers’ Cafe will be held next Wednesday at the IOOF Hall. Come out, join in, learn, celebrate and help enhance this beautiful community of Summerland. David Finnis is the publicity chair and president of the Summerland Community Arts Council, P.O.

Efforts preserved land and water For the past 50 years, the Okanagan Similkameen Parks Society has worked to preserve land and water in the region. The society had its origins in 1965, when volunteers worked to provide a secure winter range for California bighorn sheep near Vaseaux Lake. The purchase price of the range land was approximately $23,000. Of the 12 members of the original executive, Four of them — Dave McMullen, Katy Madsen, Brenda Liebert and John Kitson — were

from Summerland. Today the society has around 50 Summerland members. The society later worked at Haynes Point near Osoyoos and was instrumental in bringing about the creation of Okanagan Mountain Park. “There were no provincial parks in the South Okanagan when we started,” said Sheila White, a member of the society. Other parks include Cathedral Lakes in the Similkameen and Conkle Lake on the way to Rock Creek. The society was an early proponent

of the value of the railway bed. Members produced and distributed more than 20,00 brochures showing hiking and cycling routes along the railway bed from Midway to Penticton. The society has also provided funding for the Summerland portion of the Trans Canada Trail, which extends along 61.5 kilometres of abandoned railway bed to Osprey Lake. The society’s annual general meeting will be held at Centre Stage Theatre on Friday, April 17, beginning at 7 p.m.

Car donation completed Now that the servicing has been completed, NeighbourLink has donated a car to a Summerland man in need of reliable transportation. In February, the Christian volunteer organization put out the call for a car donation. The vehicle is needed for a man who has suffered a brain injury. He needs the vehicle to get to and from work and therapy appointments in Kelowna. The vehicle, a 2004 Toyota Echo, was provided by an anonymous donor. Summerland Tirecraft serviced the vehicle before it was donated. The labour was donated. Jennifer McTaggart, manager of Tirecraft, said the vehicle was in good condition but required some work.

Time for Spring A/C Service

Homeowners know that the arrival of spring also marks the re-emergence of insects. While not every insect is harmful, if an infestation grows considerably or if insects begin to move from the outdoors into a home, it may be time for homeowners to call in a professional.

The Entomological Society of America points out that homeowners cannot count on bitterly cold winters to help control the numbers of insects in their yards. Insect ecology is affected by various factors and is not solely dependent on temperature. Furthermore, what occurred one year certainly may not

invasive and damaging your yard, you may need to take action.

The ﬁrst step homeowners looking to curtail insects in their yards can take is to determine if the insects they see are genuine threats to their lawns. Some bugs emerge and swarm early in the season, but then gradually disappear as spring turns into summer. Other insects may come out of hiding if a homeowner is doing a lot of yard work or construction around a house. Practice a wait-and-see approach to determine if you really have an insect problem or just have stirred up activity.

Anyone concerned with the side effects of pesticides and insecticides can ﬁrst try to remedy the problem naturally. Sometimes it’s just a matter of making a yard less hospitable to insects. Remove leaves and clean up debris close to the house, as these can both encourage infestations. Piles of rotting wood or leftover ﬁrewood can be a food or shelter source for a number of insects. Inspect water spigots for leaks and improve suspect drainage on your property, as these things can be welcoming to bugs that like moist surroundings. Remove standing water whenever possible to eliminate spots for mosquitoes to incubate larvae.

Homeowners also must decide if it is bearable living with the insects. If insects are not doing any damage or if they can be controlled relatively easily, then you might be able to avoid calling in the professionals. However, if critters like termites and certain species of wood-eating insects are

Natural remedies also may do the trick. Mint, bay leaves, catnip, and garlic can repel insects like roaches and ants. Citrus can be a natural ﬂea deterrent. Some homeowners have had success planting marigolds around their yards to serve as a natural bug repellent because the ﬂowers produce a

scent that many insects ﬁnd repulsive. Thai lemon grass plants also can be used to keep mosquitoes at bay.

Remember, natural predators, such as birds, bats, spiders, and larger insects, feed on nuisance bugs. Keeping these helpful predators around may be an effective and natural way for homeowners to control annoying pests. If an insect problem seems out of control or if you need a professional opinion about the damage being done to your home or landscape, consult with an exterminator. Licensed exterminators

have the training and expertise to assess insect concerns and create a plan of action that will minimize the risk to inhabitants of your home and nearby wildlife. An exterminator will know what it takes to treat insects and maximize the chances of removing the problem promptly and effectively.

Karate athletes spar in Las Vegas

Members of the Taneda Karate Dojo competed in the 2015 Junior International Cup and USA Open in Las Vegas on the Easter weekend. The competition is the largest karate tournament in the world and drew thousands of competitors.

Timur McNern, nine, won all four of his matches to win the gold medal. His mother, Roza McNern, won gold in kumite and silver in kata. Adam Doucette, 13, won his first three matches, advancing to the semifinals, where he finished in

fifth place. Doucette was scouted by the Canadian national team coaches and was recruited to be part of the Canadian team for the 12- and 13-year-old team kumite competition at the USA Open. He and his two team-

mates from Quebec faced teams from Germany, the United States and Mexico, placing fifth of the 17 teams. Caitlyn Riddle won bronze in the 10-year-old girls kata and kumite divisions. Rita Becker won silver in women’s masters kumite.

Baseball season begins Baseball players in Summerland are at the ball diamonds as they prepare for this year’s season. Practices began early in April, with the regular season starting this week. The season continues until the end of June. Terry Rolston, president of the Summerland Minor Baseball Association, said 85 players are expected this year, with ages ranging from five to 14. Summerland will have at least one team in each of the age levels. Rolston said the costs for players are low. “It’s a very costeffective sport to play,” he said. “All you need is a baseball glove and cleats.” The fees for the season are less than $100.

Coaches are in place for this year’s teams, but Rolston said there is still a need for umpires. A youth umpire training session was held in Penticton on the weekend, but Rolston said adult umpires are needed as well. Some of the players who have come up through the minor baseball program have gone on to play in the South Okanagan Minor Baseball Association, while others have kept up with the love of the sport as adults. “Lots of kids have gone from Summerland Minor Baseball to play in the slopitch leagues,” he said. Those still looking to register for this year’s minor baseball season are asked to contact Rolston by email at trolston@ telusplanet.net.

Earth Day celebration for the entire family

Sunday April 26 marks the ninth annual Earth Day Celebration at Dale Meadows Park from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. This past week, I took a leisurely walk around the 1.2-kilometre jogging track that encircles the park. I passed by school children practicing their marathon running skills, a mother pushing her baby in a stroller, brothers enjoying a bike ride with their parents, and some youngsters playing in the playground. Just as I’ve watched my own three boys grow over these years, I was feeling quite nostalgic seeing the Earth Day shrubs and plants along the pathway grow, knowing that my family planted some of them in previous years. There is a sense of belonging and ownership in your community when you’ve helped to make it better, even

LEISURE TIMES

Joanne Malar in a small way. Since my family moved here in late 2009, we have been to almost every Earth Day. I remember my husband working to move some mulch with my two older sons while youngest son, only four months old at the time, was strapped on his chest in a baby carrier enjoying the sights. It is a great lesson to teach your children to take pride in your community, enjoy getting your hands a little dirty, getting down

on your knees to dig some holes and plant some trees to beautify the land we live, work and play in. I take pride in the areas we weeded and removed invasive plants. I remember my sons so happy with their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle faces painted from the volunteers that day. I remember the huge ball that they kicked around (or tried to) on the event day. Earth Day is a perfect opportunity to meet up with friends, meet local firefighters, community organizers and volunteers. This year’s Earth Week starts April 20 and concludes with the Earth Day Celebration on Sunday, April 26 at Dale Meadows Sports Park from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. With Earth Day Celebration beginning at 10 a.m, you will have time to

enjoy the education booths and interactive stations. There are fun activities for the kids. Just look for the maroon Summerland Credit Union Tent at the far west soccer field. This is where most of the planting action will occur. You don’t need to have any experience in gardening to participate. You will be shown what to do and there are many tasks you can help with. The pizza party and draw prize giveaway at the conclusion of the event is always a highlight as well. Mark April 26 on your calendar and share in our community beautification. Be a part of our growing community. Joanne Malar is the program coordinator for Summerland Recreation, threetime Olympic swimmer, 2012 Olympic Commentator, kinesiologist and holistic nutritionist.

there. It just might be habit forming!” Benefits from cycling include exercise, money savings and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Last year, 25,000 participants in more than 44 communities and regions in British Columbia registered during Bike to Work Week. Their efforts reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 207,068 kilograms. In Summerland, 34 cyclists participated in Bike to Work Week last year. They recorded 511 kilometres, burned 15,333 calories and reduced Summerland’s greenhouse gas emissions by 111 kilograms. Despite those benefits, the most important aspect to cycling is the joy of riding a bicycle. “Biking is not only a great way to get exercise and help the environment, it also

gives you a sense of freedom when you’re pedalling away with the sun and wind on your face,” Trainer said. “It’s that same feeling you got as a kid, when you hopped on your bike and rode for miles.” Each morning from 7 to 9 a.m., bicycle commuters are invited to stop at a celebration station for coffee, refreshments, mini bike tune-ups and daily prize draws. The station will be at Sungate Plaza, at the corner of Victoria Road North and Jubilee Road West. On Tuesday, May 26, the documentary A Winter of Cyclists will be shown at Centre Stage Theatre. Bike to Work Week is held across Canada each year in late May. In Summerland it is organized by the Summerland Climate Action Committee. Organizers hope the week will encour-

Kay leaves her four daughters, Pat, Mary, Ellen and Leslie, their spouses, David, Bob, and Craig, plus seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

The family would like to thank the Lynn Valley Care Centre and Gloria Scott for their thoughtful care.

Bouey, Eveline

July 28, 1924 - April 6, 2015 Eveline Bouey, a feisty Irish woman with a quick wit and tremendous energy, passed away in Kelowna on April 6, 2015. Born in Belfast on July 28, 1924, Eve arrived in Canada as a young war bride. She travelled by train across the country and landed in Prince George where her high heels clattered down the wooden sidewalks. With husband, Stuart, Eve raised her family, worked, volunteered, sang opera aloud in the kitchen and made too many apple pandowdy to count. They retired to Penticton. A widowed Eve later moved to Summerland. Eve leaves behind 6 children, Alaine (Jack) McEachnie, Paul Bouey, Clare (Barry Yip) Bouey, Christopher (Judy) Bouey, Kate (Peter Roberts) Bouey and Stephen (Sung Ha Shin) Bouey, as well as 11 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. At Eveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request, there will be no service.
