John Arendt Summerland Review

Festival goers had their choice of topsy-turvy rides at the midway during the Summerland Action Festival on the weekend. The festival drew an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 people to the community. For additional photos of the festival, please see Page 10 and 11 and visit the Summerland Review’s Facebook page.

Arena upgrades planned Municipality to apply for grant funding to assist with improvements John Arendt The municipality will apply for grant funding for upgrades to the arena and curling rink complex. The funding, under the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure

Sort through the sound clutter and hear clearly, naturally again

Program, is offering $150 million over two years to support projects to rehabilitate existing community facilities across Canada. Half of the funding comes through the Canada 160 initiative, with the balance from the municipality. Gas tax funds may not be used for the municipality’s contribution. Municipal staff recommended two pro-

jects for council consideration. The projects were upgrades to the arena and curling complex and improvements to the trails on Giant’s Head Mountain Park. The arena upgrades have an estimated cost of $200,000, while the park improvements have an estimated cost of $160,000, with a portion of the municipality’s funding to

come from the Summerland Rotary Club and Giant’s Head Grind. Council members favoured the arena upgrades. “It seems to me like the more pressing need,” said Coun. Doug Holmes. Coun. Toni Boot said the arena and curling complex is used by many Summerlanders as the skating club, hock-

ey, broomball, curling and graduation ceremonies are held there. “The community uses this facility more than Giant’s Head,” she said. The upgrades to the arena and curling rink include replacing the arena dehumidifier, replacing the curling ice compressor, replacing the banquet room air handling unit and replacing

the lighting over the ice. These upgrades have been identified in the municipality’s five-year financial plan. The arena was built in 1976. The grant application deadline is June 17. If Summerland receives funding through this initiative, the work must be completed by March 31, 2018.

Bell, president of the Summerland Action Festival Committee. Because of the late start, Bell and other festival organizers received complaints the following day. While some wondered why the fireworks show was not

Aside from the fireworks delay, Bell said the festival was a success. He said between 15,000 and 20,000 people attended the various weekend events. “We certainly had a lot of people over

Police urge motorists to exercise caution Police are urging motorists to drive carefully following a series of accidents on Highway 97 in recent weeks. At the end of May, police were called to accidents on the highway immediately south of Summerland, while on June 4, emergency workers were called to a fatal accident between Peachland and Summerland. Sgt. Stephane Lacroix of the Summer-

land RCMP detachment said road conditions were good at the time of all three accidents. He added that the highway is four lanes from Okanagan Falls to a point near Peachland. Summer traffic conditions, with many tourists and large vehicles on the road, will not begin until late June or early July. Lacroix said distracted driving is a factor in vehicle acci-

dents. Initiatives have been put in place to discourage drivers from using handheld electronic devices while driving, but the practice of using a handheld cell phone or sending and receiving text messages continues for some drivers. “I don’t think we’ve learned yet,” Lacroix said. “Using a device while driving is as bad as driving drunk.”

A celebration of agriculture

Summerland Review file photo

Kathryn McCourt examines some of the items at one of the table displays at last year’s Summerland Fall Fair. The annual agricultural fair will not be held this year, although organizers hope to have it in place for 2016.

Organizers consider streamlining Fall Fair John Arendt

While the Summerland Fall Fair will not take place this year, organizers are considering the 2016 fair. In late May, the fair’s board of directors voted not to hold the annual fair in September, but Tim Broesch, president of the fair, said he is looking ahead to next year. The fair has been held each year since 1909. “We want to have a very high quality event in 2016,” he said. “We’re going to make some changes to the fair so it will be more self-sustaining and easier to plan.” Broesch said efficiencies at the board level will make it easier to plan and run the fair. He said the committee has typically spent 12 months to plan and organize the two-day event. “To me, that seems very excessive,” Broesch said. “It should not take 12 months of planning.”

By streamlining the process, he expects to be able to start planning the 2016 fair in February of that year. Some of the existing board members will remain for next year and another three to four will be

updated to include a message that the fair has been cancelled for this year. The fair is also in the process of closing its office space on Kelly Avenue. Broesch said the cost of rent, telephone and Internet was several thousand dollars a “We want to have a year. very high quality event T h e in 2016.

EDITORIAL The future of the fair What happens next with the Summerland Fall Fair will depend on the support of the community. In late May, the fair’s board of directors voted not to hold the annual fair in September, although organizers are hopeful the fair will resume in 2016. The fair has been a part of Summerland since 1909 and over the years, it has drawn large crowds. Its origins were as an agricultural fair and a place where the community could showcase baking, preserves, arts, crafts and more. In recent years, the board has been in need of additional members to assist with organizing, planning and operations. Still, organizers have been able to stage a successful fair each year. Over the past year, however, the fair has had to cope with the departure of several of its directors, further reducing the size of the board. The low number of directors in recent years is a puzzling trend since the fair had remained a popular event. In a community which has proclaimed its support of local agriculture, finding a team of volunteers willing to organize an agricultural celebration should not prove difficult. Large-scale community events such as the fall fair cannot happen unless members of the community get involved in the planning and organization. There are many details involved. A weekend festival takes many months of preparation from a committed team. This is true in years when a festival follows a set formula. It becomes even more important if there are changes to the structure of a festival or if it is returning after a one-year hiatus. In order to have a successful fair in 2016, now is the time to arrange a board of directors to take care of the many necessary preparations. If an adequate number of enthusiastic board members cannot be found, the conclusion is that the fair is not as important as the attendance numbers would indicate.

Residential schools gone, but racism remains “Oh no, here we go,” mutters the person blind to the colonial history of Canada now that, after six years, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission has issued its report on the dark past of residential schools in Canada. “Why won’t those Indians just put the past behind them, get a job, and start contributing to society?” That is what “he” said to me. There are certain subjects usually left alone by those who should know better. Topics where we don’t really hear what some people think. Most people keep their ignorance to themselves. “That was the past, get over it.” These are not the opinions of some bygone era. These are attitudes held by some people, most who won’t admit it, in the here and now. Present and but a scratch below a thin layer of political correctness that covers our daily discourse. “Why won’t those

B.C. Views

Paul Henderson Indians just put the past behind them, get a job, and start contributing to society?” I write it again, because it struck me as amazing. This is what was said to me by someone I chatted with a few weeks ago who, frankly, should know better. An educated, employed, successful member of society. He used the term “Indians,” even. Lots of people do. No, he wasn’t talking about people from India. I asked. But the fellow I was talking to suggested that when talking about the Sto:lo population, he prefers “Indian” over “native” or “aboriginal.”

And don’t even start him on the political manipulation behind the term “First Nations.” “Don’t talk about Indians to this guy,” he joked as others joined us in the public setting where our conversation took place. Laughs. Apparently, I’ve learned, it is political correctness run amok when people suggest an objectively inaccurate term is just weird to use. “You know where India is, right?” I asked the aforementioned fellow. No comment. “OK, you know the ‘Indians’ in this country have endured an attempted cultural genocide, right?” I pushed. Get over it, was the response. Start paying some taxes. I almost hate to write these words because they are true. Today many Sto:lo folks are likely grappling with Justice Murray Sinclair ’s report, its 94 recommendations, something that will dig up

the terrible wounds of what was endured at residential schools by parents grandparents and great-grandparents. The ignorance and hatred that led to a cultural genocide, a government-church led systematic “killing the Indian in the child” is done. It’s gone from our churches. It’s gone from our cultural institutions. It’s gone from our government. But the sentiment does remain, if below the surface, that aboriginals should just snub out the last remnants of that language, drop the cultural practices, forget the drumming and the hunting and the fishing and the rest of it, and just be more like us. Why can’t you be more like “us”? There is, among us mostly white settlers, a sense of entitlement, but even more so a disregard for any expression of culture from those who were here before us. Now that the

report is out, it’s time to acknowledge the horrible truth that some of our ancestors took part in or at least acquiesced to, and reconcile. This doesn’t mean saying “we are sorry you are upset” one more time. This means starting a process whereby individuals like the one I quoted above are forced to learn some history. Learn how children were stolen from their parents as government policy. “Cultural genocide is the destruction of those structures and practices that allow the group to continue as a group” This is big stuff, and it’s been buried for too long. What we should not do is let the ignorance of the “be more like us” sentiment carry on. Those today who are blind to history and what went on with the Indian School Act need to open their eyes.

Vehicle noise must be addressed

Dear Editor: Summer is finally here, but as the days are getting longer and warmer, noise levels produced by power boats, trucks and motorcycles with inadequate or no mufflers are getting louder. How incredibly ignorant, and with

literally millions of dollars invested in state of the art equipment, including helicopters, why has this obnoxious issue not been addressed? You don’t need a muffler in each ear, to appreciate the natural beauty of our valley.

The bylaws have been in place for years, and they are as relevant today as they were at the time they were adopted, and as citizens we have a right to insist these issues will be addressed. Allowing this extremely offensive behaviour to prolifer-

ate has also promoted some very aggressive driver attitudes. Common courtesies and right-of-ways have become a thing of the past, and our highways are not safe to travel as a result of it. Virtually every day people are injured or killed.

Federal Maritime Occupational Health and Safety Regulations consider sounds in a workplace louder than 85 decibels to be hazardous. The noise levels in our streets and highways are far beyond that. Those obscene noise levels have also

become an issue of invasion of our privacy, denying us our right to enjoy home and property. It’s hard core when we are in our homes, spending quality time with friends, or listening to our favourite music or TV programs, and our privacy is constantly

being interrupted by radically excessive noises produced by motorcycles and motor vehicles that have been retrofitted with after-market flow-through exhaust pipes for no other reason but to generate more noise. Andy Thomsen Peachland

THE EARLY YEARS

The Giant looked like he was dozing peacefully on this calm day in 1912 while passengers on the S.S. Okanagan were heading to Summerland on a lake as smooth as glass. These days there are a few more homes on the haunches of the giant and a few more boats on the lake but it’s still a beautiful place to call home.

Many assisted with show Action needed Dear Editor: On behalf of the directors and staff of the Summerland Museum and the members of the Quest Society for Hearing Enhancement, I am writing to acknowledge and thank all those who played a part in making Fashions of a Century on May 24 such a successful event. This was a true community endeavour, bringing togeth-

er the staff and directors of the museum, the members of Quest and the Blossom royalty and candidates who did such a great job of modelling a total of 36 vintage outfits from the museum’s collection, spanning the decades from 1900 to 2000. We thank Susan Lopatecki for her interesting commentary, giving us insights into the life,

times and fashions of Summerland. We also want to include the many merchants and other residents whose contributions made it possible to have such a wonderful silent auction. Thank you all so much. Finally, our appreciation goes to all the media and others who helped us publicize this event, and in particular to the Summerland Review

for its excellent articles. Last, but definitely not least, a big thank you to all in the community who supported our work by attending. All the funds will be returned to the community through projects of both the museum and the Quest Society. Maureen Downey Fashions of a Century coordinator Summerland

A reason to love Summerland Dear Editor: I am once again reminded of why I love Summerland. I was downtown when a young gal sped by me and caught up to a young man to return his keys. She was dressed in black

like a uniform, but no identifying logo was to be seen. We had a chat. She just got back from North Dakota on a baseball scholarship studying phys. ed. and was in Phoenix last year. We both agreed

Summerland is a friendly town and she is happy to be home in the summer. Just another reason I love Summerland. Jane Curtin Summerland

Funds raised from baking donations Dear Editor: A special thank you to Myrtle at the Dale Meadows Sports

Complex concession for allowing and helping baking for a donation to help with

Myla’s treatment for cancer. Thanks again and thanks to all the

people who donated. Donna Waddington Summerland

to stop mussels Dear Editor: I am alarmed at the foot dragging over the issue of zebra and quagga mussels entering the Okanagan and other B.C. interior watersheds. The threat is imminent and the damaging impacts are well known. These mussels multiply rapidly and there is no known way of getting rid of them. They have steadily advanced westward from the Great Lakes, especially in the U.S. Our federal government has clear authority and responsibility to stop this invasion at U.S. points of entry. Yet they have ignored the problem for years and only became involved when local

authorities such as the Okanagan Basin Water Board screamed loudly and persistently. The federal plan is to slowly engage and train Canadian Border Service Agency personnel to actually inspect boats as they enter Canada. This might happen by mid–summer. CBSA, like most other federal agencies, is in cut back mode. Without adequate numbers of inspectors how can they carry out these necessary inspections? In my professional career I worked to combat invasions of non-indigenous pest. From that I recognize that immediate comprehensive actions are needed when dealing

with invasives. Prevention by interception requires the engagement of our federal government. By not taking the lead they, in effect, they let others off the hook. What can you do? Get informed and get involved — protectourfreshwater.ca/. In advance of the October federal election, contact your local MPs and let them know that urgent action is required. Foot dragging is not acceptable. Contact the candidates for the other parties and find out what they will do. Then consider who you will vote for in October. Steve Burke Kelowna

Reconciliation solutions are needed

A number of events are occurring in Ottawa on and around Parliament Hill. One event that I believe is of interest to all Canadians are ceremonies related to the release of the summary report from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. For those who may be unfamiliar, this was a report into one of our countries darkest times as aboriginal children were taken from their families and communities to attend residential schools. For many aboriginal students horrific injustices occurred in these institutions where it has been revealed that children suffered serious abuse, violence, and thousands of children were never to return home. In some cases the location and remains of loved ones are still unknown to family members. The summary report released this week is roughly 400 pages and contains 94 recommendations intended to help achieve true reconciliation.

Ottawa RepORt

Dan Albas The full report will be released in the near future that will also be responded to by government. Some of the key re c o m m e n d a t i o n s involve increased education for all Canadians regarding the history of residential schools in Canada as well as improving education for first nation’s children and greater efforts to close the poverty gap that exists in many first nation communities. From my perspective I believe we must work in partnership to identify solutions that reduce poverty and increase education completion rates. It is also important to focus on employment and healthy living including access-

ible healthcare. True reconciliation is an important principle to help overcome this unacceptable chapter in Canadian history. We must also recognize the courage of many victims who came forward to share their painful experiences with the commission. I will report again on this important topic again when the full report is released and more information is available. This week in Ottawa also saw the release of the independent investigation and related report into the shooting that occurred on Parliament Hill in October, 2014. This report concluded that 56 shots were fired between RCMP and House of Commons security. Of the 56 shots fired 31 hit the assailant with two of these 31 considered to be rapidly fatal. Neither drugs nor alcohol were detected in the post-mortem investigation of the deceased. The report also identified areas of concern with respect to House of Commons security proto-

cols and in total proposes 66 recommendations. Closer to home I have been asked for comment regarding child killer Allan Schoenborn being issued escorted day pass by the B.C. Review board. For those who may be unaware, in 2008 Mr. Schoenborn murdered his three children: 10-year-old Kaitlynne, eight-year-old Max and five-yearold Cordon in Merritt before fleeing police. I have heard from the family directly who shared this hor-

rific tragedy with members of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights in June of 2013. This was truly one of the most heartbreaking events heard by this committee as the family continues to live in fear of Mr. Schoenborn to this very day. This is an example where parts of our justice system still can fail victims and families. Although legal changes have occurred since this

disturbing act of violence was committed these changes cannot be applied retroactively and will not change this difficult situation for the family. In my view these situations are unacceptable and I will continue to support putting the interests and concerns of families and victims ahead of criminals. No family should be forced to relive a horrific event and live in fear for their safety. I welcome your comments and ques-

tions on the subjects mentioned today or any other matter before the House of Commons. I can be reached at dan. albas@parl.gc.ca or toll-free at 1-800-6658711.

Individuals are losing freedom

Dear Editor: The concern I have for GMO foods is exactly the same as EMFs from Smart Meters. It’s about control. You notice that B.C. Hydro and FortisBC can’t resist comparing their smart meters to our personal electronic devices. There are many things I can do to reduce EMFs from all the electronic devices I use. However I am in

control of my personal devices and have no control over wireless technology delivered by a utility both to my home and to all other homes in my vicinity. A genetically modified apple planted in Summerland can potentially infect my orchard through pollen transfer by bees that are transported up and down the Valley by beekeepers. No apple growers, including certified

organic growers, are immune from this cross contamination by this one GMO apple orchard. At the very least, not any orchard in the Okanagan Similkameen valleys will ever be able to claim that their apples are grown GE free, organic or not. This affects what we grow, what we eat, this impacts our domestic and foreign markets, threatens the very existence of

the certified organic industry and alters our reputation as growers of healthy, wholesome, and natural food. I feel our rights as growers and the rights of consumers have lost the freedom to control our individual destinies. It is imperative that we reverse this corporate control over such important aspects of our lives. Allan Patton Oliver

Under construction

Crews work on the inside of the new library building on Main Street. The building is expected to open this summer. It will be 743 square metres, more than twice the size of the existing library building on Wharton Street.

CounCil rePorT The regular meeting of municipal council was held on June 8 in council chambers. The mayor and all councillors were present.

Variance permit approved

Council approved a development permit to allow a winery building at 5914 Gartrell Rd. The permit allows the winery to be located four metres from an interior side yard and 4.5 metres from an exterior side yard. An existing driveway must be relocated a minimum of 15 metres to the east to ensure minimum sight line distances.

Temporary use permit approved

Council approved a temporary use permit to allow agri-tourism accommodation at 9114 Hoofbeat St. The permit is for a three-year period.

Permit issued

Council approved a development permit for 4816 Nixon Rd. The permit protects the environmental values within the Environmentally Sensitive Development Permit Area.

Surge protection devices available

Summerland residents will be given the option to purchase meter socket surge protection devices at cost from the municipality. The resolution comes following the power surge event on Nov. 26, 2014, which damaged electrical metres, appliances and electronics in homes in Trout Creek. Municipal staff will continue to work with Primary Engineering to improve the municipal electrical system’s ability to protect against future power surge events.

Property leased

The municipality will lease a portion of municipally-owned property to Rosa Pagliocchini for five years at the rate of $120 a year. The family has leased the 0.4-hectare parcel from the municipality since Jan. 1, 2000. Coun. Erin Carlson opposed the resolution because of the amount charged.

Games bid supported

The municipality will provide support to the City of Penticton’s bid to host the 2018 or 2019 55+ B.C. Games. The municipality also gave its support to an in-kind contribution for the use of Dale Meadows Sports Complex, Summerland Arena, Summerland Curling Club and the Summerland Rodeo Grounds.

Golf tournament raises funds for new Patient Care Tower A golf tournament this summer will raise money to help equip the new Patient Care Tower at the Penticton Regional Hospital. The 19th annual Peach City Tees Up For Cancer ladies charity golf tournament will be held Aug. 14 and 15 at the Penticton Golf and Country Club. Organizers of the tournament have pledged to contribute $150,000 over five years to the South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation campaign. The foundation is working to raise $20 million for medical equipment for the hospital tower. Peggy Guest, chair of the tournament organizing committee, said the golf tournament began in 1997 by raising more than $10,000 for the PRH Oncology Department. Guest said Tees Up can achieve its latest goal, noting the 2014 tournament raised more than $32,000.

“Everyone knew the tower was in the planning stages,” she said, “so we decided at our first meeting this year, not only would we raise money for the tower, but we’d commit to raising $150,000 over five years.” Guest said up to 30 teams of four are expected to register for the best-ball scramble event, with a strong emphasis on fun. A “construction zone” theme has been chosen for this year. Hard hats will be handed out for team photos and orange construction pylons will mark the tee boxes at each hole. Teams are encouraged to wear their own constructionrelated costumes as well. Former LPGA professional A. J. Eathorne will return to her home course to act as emcee for the Saturday night dinner. Guest said efforts are being made to attract golfers from

throughout the South Okanagan-Similkameen, who will also benefit from the hospital expansion. Registration for this year’s tourney is now underway. Contact the Penticton Golf and Country

Club at 250-492-5626 or email Teesup@ shaw.ca. The cost includes two rounds of golf, a light supper on the Friday night and a full dinner on Saturday night.

A portion of the entry fee is a charitable donation to Tees Up For Cancer with an official tax receipt. Registrations will be accepted to just a few days prior to the tournament.

RCMP probe claims ‘a mistake’ Sales Rep. _________________________________

former health ministry researchers who the government fired in 2012. Clark characterized the investigation claims as an error but said little more

when reporters asked her why the claims weren’t recanted until RCMP documents were released to the Vancouver Sun under Access to Information.

“It was a mistake that was made and that’s why we apologized for it,” Clark said. “When government makes mistakes government has an obligation to apologize.” The released documents show the RCMP closed their file in the summer of 2014 because the force never received information from the province justifying a criminal investigation. Health Minister Terry Lake told repor-

ters he was never informed the Mounties weren’t investigating. The province previously admitted the firings were a mistake and settled out of court with most of the employees. One researcher committed suicide. NDP MLA Adrian Dix said the government intentionally misled the public for years on the RCMP probe and wrongly smeared the researchers despite legal advice against mentioning police involvement.

Summerland Review Thursday, June 11, 2015

Arts courses offered This past week we had a successful fundraiser for our Summer Arts Program at the Summerland Seniors Drop in Centre. The Thursday Night Jazz Band performed a jazz concert featuring big band music from the Glenn Miller era. There were 77 people in attendance and quite a few made it out onto the dance floor. A big thank you to the band as well as all our sponsors for making this evening a huge success. The Summer Arts Program has been running for more than 12 years, each summer with new and exciting cours-

es for children ages three to 18. Not only do we have fun classes for the little ones but we offer advanced classes for older students too. This year we are offering a brand new Young Adult Writing course which mixes the arts with the academic for students planning on attending post-secondary institutions. This course will feature units on creative writing as well as technical writing like how to develop a good thesis – something every university student needs to know. Other advanced arts classes include learning how to wet

Arts PAlette

Carmen McDowell felt using wool fibres, hot, soapy water and elbow grease. There is also a clay working class, a cartoon drawing class, painting, wood whittling and a theatre class specifically for older students. Our instructors are great at

adapting course content to the needs of the learners in the class. So if you are, or know a teen looking for something to do this summer, check out our brochure online at summerlandarts.com, stop by the Arts Centre 9908 Main St. for a brochure or call Carmen at 250-494-4494.

undesired effects and are largely rooted in mistaken perceptions. She was responding to a call from Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson for the province to charge a higher Property Transfer Tax on the most expensive properties, create a speculation tax on short-term flippers, and give cities more power to track ownership and discourage the practice of leaving investment homes vacant. “It’s important that we consider any actions carefully to make sure we are helping first-time homebuyers get into the market while protecting the equity of existing homeowners – not just simply raising more taxes for government,” Clark said in a letter to Robertson. Driving down home prices 10 per cent would mean an

$800,000 home losing $80,000 in equity and Clark said that could put some residents with large mortgages underwater. Clark noted local buyers, not foreigners, are responsible for most real estate activity in the region. “For many individuals and small businesses, this is a source of investment income.” The premier said the province is actively looking at what it can do. But she suggested the City of Vancouver can do more itself to address affordability by reducing civic fees and levies that add up to more than $76,000 of the price of a new $450,000 condo. The B.C. Real Estate Association estimates foreigners account for no more than five per cent of home ownership and real estate activity in the region.

Thursday, June 11, 2015 Summerland Review

Many compete in run and triathlon June 6, the Saturday of Action Festival was an exciting day in Summerland. A glorious sunny day, with temperatures to soar up to 30 C, competitors were prepared to sizzle up their race routes. Starting at 7 a.m., the bikers of the Man of Steel Triathlon took off around the famous Giant’s Head Mountain landmark. The 10-kilometre loop was breezed through by the avid racers on their first of three laps to complete their 30-km distance. Our youth of Summerland was well represented as young triathletes and triathlon teams completed

swam 16 lengths (400 metres) or up to 32 lengths (800 metres) for the full distance triathletes and teams. The pool was filled with cheering teammates, family members and friends as times were recorded for each swimmer. Family teams are a great opportunity to get everyone involved. The Mitchell Family for example, had Uncle Dave Mitchell ride the bike, six-year-old Payton Mitchell completed the 16-length swim, while three-yearold brother Emerson geared up for his five-kilometre walkrun for the second time in his young life. Eight-year-old teammates, the Domin8tors were all excited to be in their

first triathlon as a team. After Giant’s Head School completed their own marathon running program last week, it seemed the whole school got reeved up with healthy activity led by Principal Darcy Mullin to also enter the community run races. After a much deserved break, the young athletes took to the streets of Summerland to enjoy the Action Festival Parade at 10 a.m., the midway and maybe a nap. By 5:30 p.m. the library green space was full of Giant’s Head Runners warming up to music and exercises led by fitness instructor Lynn Ellis of the Recreation Department.

This warm up always gets people connected and in the spirit of a community event that is all about health, personal challenge and fun. A sea of yellow could be seen in all distances as the new race shirt was being proudly sported. At the start line, our five Summerland principals and vice principals who have been our ambassadors for this year’s Giant’s Head Run all met for a pre-race photo. As ambassadors, they all have embraced the importance of healthy active living to their schools and students by leading by example. They are Jeff Redden, Trout Creek School; Sheena Fowlie, Summerland Montessori School; Darcy Mullin, Giant’s Head Elementary; Chris Van Bergeyk, Summerland Secondary School and Darryl Tenisci of Summerland Middle School. The finish line was victorious for all 621 participants. First five-kilometre finisher, Gabriel Girard (Male 16-18 category) finished in at a time of 22:23 while Ben Thistlewood, was the first to finish for the 10-km in a time of 35:47 (Male 19-39 category).

Bottles thrown during lacrosse game Black Press The referees decided that it was time to end the game once water bottles were being used as projectiles. On Monday at the Memorial Arena in Penticton, the Kelowna Raiders

were in town to take on the South Okanagan Flames junior B lacrosse team. Early in the third, close to 10 bottles were thrown onto the playing surface from the Raiders bench, which was reacting to a penalty. “I’ve never seen

anything like that before — that was weird,” said Flames Chris Pond. The forward, who sits atop the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League scoring stats, “came ready to play” earning 13 points en route to a 15-6 victory.

If you missed our Summerland Women In Business supplement in last week’s Summerland Review, pop by our office for your FREE copy!

Pond said the Raiders seemed to be upset throughout the game, but he isn’t sure what sparked the final frustration. The Flames four goals in as many shots in the third period, earning Pond the double hat trick, didn’t help. Less than five minutes into the final period the disgruntled Raiders resorted to chucking their water bottles. In the first period,

the Raiders clocked 19 penalties, compared to the Flames four. With an extra 15 minutes of power play, the Flames were able to take a 5-2 lead by the end of the first. The Raiders showed some life in the second period, by scoring four goals, but the Flames out powered them with six of their own, bringing the tally to 11-6 after 40 minutes.
