Drying fruit

Carla McLeod Summerland Review

Over the years cherry growers have planted varieties of fruit, that ripen later, such as the Skeena and Lapins cherry. It was hoped that by doing this, harvest time would not coincide with the rains that typically fall in early July and often split the cherries. This year, that strategy has been trumped by Mother Nature. Local farmers say their crops have ripened 10 days to two weeks ahead of schedule. The evening before the harvest was about to begin in the Carlson’s orchard on Canyon View Road, the rains began to fall. A helicopter was brought in on Sunday morning to help dry the fruit. Erin Carlson of Carcajou Fruit said the fruit had not been damaged as a result of the rain.

Smoke bylaw planned Proposal would ban smoking on municipal property

John Arendt Municipal staff will research and develop a bylaw which would ban smoking on all municipal property.

Coun. Erin Trainer, who proposed the bylaw, said the risk of a wildfire this summer prompted her to call for the bylaw. “It concerns me because of the hot, dry weather we’ve been having,” she said. She added that the bylaw would also

administrative officer, said signs are in place prohibiting smoking in parks, but there is no bylaw in place to enforce a no smoking policy. “Enforcement is difficult in the outdoors,” she added. In a report to council, Tynan said the time required for staff to research and

prepare a no smoking bylaw would be minimal, since there are already good “best practices” no smoking bylaws in other municipalities. A resolution to direct staff to develop the no smoking bylaw received unanimous council support on Monday evening.

Province, municipality partner on pathway Carla McLeod Special to the Review

Cyclists, walkers and joggers in Sum-

merland will have a safe place to enjoy their favourite activities when a 1.3-kilometre paved pathway is completed

next month. A contract valued at $730,000 has been awarded to BD Hall Constructors Corp. of Surrey for construc-

tion of a two-metrewide pathway adjacent to Highway 97 between Lakeshore Road and Thornber Street.

The project is part of B.C. on the Move, the government’s new 10-year plan for the improvement of the province’s transportation network. “This project will provide a safe connection for pedestrians and cyclists from Trout Creek to downtown Summerland,” Penticton MLA Dan Ashton said. “Expanding and improving infrastructure for all modes of

transportation – and making them safer – is an important part of our government’s mandate.” Work commenced July 6 and is expected to be completed in early August. The installation of a guardrail will increase safety for all road users by separating the pathway from the roadway and reducing the potential for vehicles to leave the highway. The pro-

Water infrastructure upgradeSeason’s announced Greetings Steve Kidd Summerland residents in the Garnett Valley Road area got a double boost Friday when Mayor Peter Waterman announced long awaited improvements to water supply infrastructure. Summerland has entered a partnership with the province and the federal government to twin the water lines in Jones Flat and Garnett Valley, a project that has been talked about and planned for many years. The twinning will increase access to safe drinking water, and increase the supply for agricultural use. But it also means improvements to Garnett Valley Road as the new infrastructure is installed, starting later this year, according to Waterman. “We have to dig the road up to do the water separation project,” said Waterman. “As we redo these water lines, we will be redoing the surface of the road.” But the prime focus of the project, estimated to cost $6.79 million – split between all three lev-

ply is a high priority for the district of Summerland,” said Waterman, who thanked MLA Dan Ashton and MP Dan Albas for their support. “We are very pleased with the commitment of the federal and provincial governments.” The project will

supply high quality water from the water treatment plant to the Garnett Valley domestic users, who have one or two boil water advisories each year, according to Waterman. “It will also assist community health by eliminating the need for boil water advis-

True Grain Bread was one of the few businesses to keep their doors open. Assistant manager Sophia Jackson said that was because the baker starts work at 3 a.m. and by the time the power was cut at 5:30 p.m. already had a portion of the day’s fresh baking done. Still, it was a cash only day in the shop. “We sold what we had, and people were really kind,” said Jackson. “It set us back a day because all the sourdoughs had to be restarted,

but we are back up to full production now.” Jackson said her customers also expressed their thanks to find the bakery open. “People rolled with the punches. Our customers were fantastic about everything,” she said. Speaking last Friday, Waterman said he and chief administrative officer Linda Tynan were waiting to have a debrief with FortisBC, to find out exactly what the issue was causing the problem with the transformer.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

Outage affected homes, businesses Electricity out for most of community last Wednesday Steve Kidd

A day-long power outage last Wednesday not only left homes without power across two-thirds of the community but caused the majority of businesses to close their doors for the day as well. “An 8.5 hour shutdown is significant. That’s a lot of dollars out of people’s pockets,” said Mayor Peter Waterman, adding that this was one of those unfortunate incidents, where there is not a lot the city staff can do. “Fortis is a great partner, they got in there as quickly as they could,” said Waterman. Power was lost at about 5:30 a.m. on July 8 to almost all of the District, except

Trout Creek. The transformer causing all the trouble was repaired by FortisBC crews around 2 p.m. and power was phased back in slowly to avoid putting a heavy load on the equipment all at once.

EDITORIAL Clearing smoke There isn’t much to be said in defence of smoking. In addition to the increased health risks for the smoker and for those exposed to second-hand smoke, there is also a risk of fires from carelessly discarded cigarettes and the problem of unsightly butts littering parks and beaches. The fire hazard was one of the factors prompting Coun. Erin Trainer to ask for the development of a bylaw banning smoking on all municipal property. Such a bylaw would make all Summerland parks and beaches into smoke-free zones. Some of the province’s worst wildfires have been caused by carelessly discarded cigarettes. This year, with the dry conditions throughout the province, the fire risk alone must be addressed. Those who want to enjoy time outside at the beach or in local parks would have a smoke-free environment to enjoy their time outside. For those with asthma, breathing-related problems or weakened immune systems, this would be a noticeable benefit. Smokers, however, would face increased restrictions as a result of a no smoking bylaw. Cigarettes and other tobacco products are legally sold in Canada, but restrictions have increased in recent decades. Most offices and many businesses are smokefree, as are eating and drinking establishments. Smoking rates across Canada have been declining and British Columbia has the lowest percentage of smokers in the country. Still, there are more than 600,000 smokers in B.C. Expanding the list of the places where smoking is banned will serve to aggravate smokers and some may choose to disregard a proposed no smoking bylaw. Enforcing a comprehensive no smoking bylaw, especially one which governs outdoor spaces, may prove difficult. Unless the proposed no smoking bylaw can be enforced, its potential for effectiveness will be diminished.

Is the B.C. LNG industry real? Yes

VICTORIA – The B.C. legislature is back in session this week, a rare summer sitting to approve a 25-year project agreement for the first large-scale liquefied natural gas project in northern B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong released the lengthy legal agreement prior to the debate, saying this step should remove any doubt that an international investment group led by Petronas of Malaysia intends to go ahead. With billions invested in upstream resources and buyers waiting at home, the Pacific Northwest LNG group includes Chinese state corporation Sinopec, Indian Oil Corp., Japan Petroleum Exploration Corp. and Petroleum Brunei. The most contentious issue is the government’s intention to protect the investors from “discriminatory” tax and regulations for the life of the project. The government insists

B.C. Views

Tom Fletcher these sorts of longterm cost certainty agreements are commonplace, and don’t affect provincial and federal taxes or environmental regulations unless they single out LNG operations. Future governments can raise corporate tax rates, carbon tax or enter into a cap and trade system. Ottawa can scrap capital cost allowances that were recently extended to LNG producers, which is significant because Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has indicated he would get rid of what he calls subsidies to fossil fuels. Both the province

and Ottawa allow capital cost write-offs against corporate tax, to attract investment. B.C. attracted a lot of gas drilling rigs from Alberta with tax breaks for deep drilling. The B.C. government invited comparisons with Western Australia LNG producers, and NDP researchers did just that. They noted that Australia’s Gorgon and North West Shelf LNG projects have written provisions that local employment and local suppliers will get preference. Those are absent in B.C., along with apprenticeship guarantees for LNG. “There was hard bargaining by the companies, and certainly the premier went into this negotiation in a very weak position, having to deliver on her extravagant and grandiose promises from the election,” NDP critic Bruce Ralston said. “The companies did well. Whether the citizens

of British Columbia did well is certainly an open question.” Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver painted himself into a corner, having spent the last two years dismissing the B.C. LNG industry as a fantasy that will never come to pass, strictly on economic grounds. He has since branded the Petronas deal, a template for any future projects, a “generational sellout.” Another big player with gas well investments in northeast B.C. is Shell, with a proposal for Kitimat. Its prospects have improved since it took over British Gas Group, which had its own LNG intentions here. Another group led by Altagas remains on track to ship LNG from its Douglas Channel site before the end of the decade. It’s important to remember that without LNG exports, B.C.’s natural gas industry will shrink rapidly after 50 years of increasingly significant revenues

from sales to the U.S. Leaving aside all the political positioning around the province’s largest private investment to date, if this doesn’t go ahead we will all feel the effects. De Jong had a blunt response when asked what the province gets in return for all its guarantees of low tax environment: “Their money.” At peak construction, Pacific Northwest LNG will need as many as 4,500 workers, with 500 or more operations jobs depending on how far it expands. The finance ministry forecasts that once Pacific Northwest LNG is up and running, it represents $9 billion in revenues to the province over 10 years, including gas royalties and taxes. That’s more than taxpayers can expect from the entire forest industry. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc. Email: tfletcher@ blackpress.ca.

THE EARLY YEARS

Music above the water—way above

Photo courtesy of the Summerland Museum

While our summers are now enhanced by Wednesdays on the Water, in 1967 we had Music on the Mountain. Though obviously not the first Summerland Town Band which was formed in 1904, this was the 1967 version of the band, established to celebrate Canada’s Centennial. This performance took place at the very top of Giant’s Head at the opening of the park and unveiling of the cairn, Summerland’s centennial project. The view may be fantastic from up there, but Peach Orchard Beach is a better venue for enjoyable musical concerts; it’s pleasantly cool by the water and does not require a hike up the mountain.

age. The citizens of Summerland needed a place to get something to eat, something to drink such as coffee, tea or even a drink of cold water and just a place to enjoy some cool air. During a similar outage back a number of years, on a bitterly cold day, Mayor Janice Perrino called me and asked me to open the Reception Centre at the arena, which was done. Yes, very few took advantage of the venue at that time, but it was available for those who knew about it or were suffering from the cold. This time, it would have been really great not to have to drive to Penticton in the heat just to get a cup of coffee or something to eat or find a place to enjoy a cooler temperature. Why did our current mayor not take the initiative to have the local ESS team open up the centre? Why did our ESS director not get permission or take the initiative to get the Reception Centre up and running. We must remember that there are people living in Summerland that need electricity to operate health related equipment; phones that will work in case of a personal emergency; and also something to eat and drink during a power outage.

Ask Your Dentist...

Last appointment you suggested braces for my teeth, but I’m over 40 years old now. I thought braces were for teenagers? - Dean

Dr. Cindee Melashenko

There is no age limitation for improving the function and appearance of your teeth! I’m excited to tell you that there is a new way to move and straighten teeth that is virtually invisible and does not involve metal wires or brackets. So no more “metal mouth” or “train tracks!” Invisalign uses clear aligners that you can re move to eat and brush your teeth.

Aside from the obvious cosmetic advantage of straight teeth, there are some functional and health reasons as well. Teeth that are poorly aligned have an increased risk of premature wear or fracture and can increase your risk for periodontal disease. Have you heard the saying, “Many hands make light work?” The same is true for your teeth. The more teeth that are involved in the biting and chewing process, the lesser the burden on all of them, and the better they will maintain their health. Crooked or crowded teeth also contribute to buildup of placque, tartar, and harmful periodontal bacteria. Whether you just want your teeth to look better or if you also want to improve their function and health, a “clear alternative” to traditional braces is available!

Locally owned dollar store supported Dear Editor: A month ago, I was disgusted to hear that Dollarama was coming into Summerland on the bowling alley site, right next

door to our lovely Dollar Store with More — which is locally owned and operated. The staff are friendly and selection is great. I for one do not want to

see our existing dollar store pushed out of business by a box chain. There is a petition online at www.change.org/p/ summerland-municipality-

no-dollarama. I did not start this petition but gladly signed it, as many Summerland residents have. R. Taylor Summerland

Persistent effort paid off in Garnett Valley Dear Editor: We would like to thank every person who took the time to come to our meetings and sign our

petitions about Garnett Valley Road and the twinning of the water system over the years. We would also like

to thank former and standing councillors and mayors for also supporting the infrastructure upgrades in Garnett Valley.

Lastly, we would like to thank city officials who also help maintain and fight for a safer road and water quality.

Spending caps urged for local elections Steve Kidd Black Press Candidates for a council seat in a Summerland should be able to spend no more than $11,280 to run for mayor and $5,640 for a council or school board seat, says a legislature committee on local election financing. With a population of 11,280, according to the 2011 census, Summerland is just over the limit defining small communities. In communities with a population over 10,000, mayoral candidates would be limited to $1 per capita for the first 15,000 people, 55 cents per capita up to 150,000, 60 cents per capita for 150,000 to 200,000 and only 15 cents for communities larger

than that. Councillors are limited to half those amounts. The formula would limit a candidate for mayor of Victoria, population 80,000, to about $50,000, while Surrey’s population of 470,000 would mean a cap of $180,000 to run for mayor. In communities

of up to 10,000 residents, a mayoral candidate would have a $10,000 campaign spending limit, and councillors would be limited to $5,000. Looking at the amounts spent in Summerland during the last municipal election, the new spending limits would not have

affected Mayor Peter Waterman’s campaign. He was well below the spending limit with a total of $6,043 spent on his campaign. Likewise, mayoral contender David Gregory only spent $2,911, and Orv Robson, $3,051. Roch Fortin might have had his wings clipped a

little after spending $11,401 on his mayoral campaign. Mayoral candidate Christopher Boisvert-Gilman spent $1,310.74 on his campaign. None of the Summerland councillor candidate would have exceeded the new spending limits – Bruce Hallquist was the biggest spender

in 2014 at $5,050. Fraser-Nicola MLA Jackie Tegart, who chaired the committee as it toured the province, said the limits are aimed to make running for local government “accessible and affordable,” while recognizing the vast difference between political campaigns in

large cities and those in small communities. The spending limits still have to be endorsed by the legislature, but the B.C. Liberal and NDP members of the committee endorsed them unanimously. They are part of a series of local election reforms that included extending terms to four years. The committee wants third-party advertisers limited to five per cent of what a mayoral candidate is allowed to spend. The spending limits would be in effect starting on Jan. 1 of each election year. B.C. is joining Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador in placing spending limits on at least some of their local elections.

board of directors. Christa-Lee Bond of Evolve Cellars in Summerland was

named to the board to represent small wineries. She is one of nine

voting members on the board of directors. “We are excited about the perspective our new and continuing board members will offer as the B.C. Wine Industry continues

to grow and evolve,” said B.C. Wine Institute President Miles Prodan. “We understand the time commitment that it takes to be involved and sincerely appreciate the work that our vol-

unteer Board of Directors and Committee members do for the Wines of British Columbia outside of their positions with their respective organizations.” The board members were elected at

the institute’s annual general meeting on July 6 in Osoyoos. The B.C. Wine Institute represents 148 B.C. wineries of all sizes. Since 1990, the institute has promoted the province’s wines.

after consulting the provinces. If he forms the next government, Trudeau would invite premiers to join him at the next United Nations climate change conference in Paris next December, and then meet them again within 90 days to come up with a national plan to regulate fossil fuel emissions.

“Central to this will be the creation of national emissionsreduction targets, informed by the best economic and scientific analysis,” the party’s 12-page summary says, adding that the Conservative government’s emission reduction targets are “inadequate and meaningless without a plan to achieve them.” Conservative Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford and Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq replied with a statement warning that the Liberal plan “will increase the costs of everything including gas, groceries, electricity.” Rickford and Aglukkaq said Trudeau’s promise to end fossil fuel subsidies would remove

Ottawa’s support for development of liquefied natural gas export facilities in B.C. In February, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced increased capital cost tax credits for the LNG industry, similar to capital investment incentives offered by B.C. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has promised a national capand trade plan for carbon emissions, which would impose extra costs based on higher emissions and reward industries that are able to reduce them. The Liberal plan promises a minimum $200 million annual spending to “support innovation and clean technologies in the forestry, fisheries, mining, energy and agricultural sectors.”

Election spending

Mayor Peter Waterman, at left, spent $6,043 on his campaign in the November 2014 municipal election. His campaign was well below the proposed spending limit for municipal campaigns. Roch Fortin’s campaign, at 11,401, was higher than the proposed limit. Other mayoral candidates were David Gregory, Orv Robson and Christopher Boisvert-Gilman.

Music concerts

Carla McLeod Special to the Review

Wednesdays on the Water, a series of free concerts, held at Spirit Square, Peach Orchard Beach is back again this summer. The first concert was held on the evening of July 8, featuring the Kettle Valley Brakemen. The trio sang original songs and told brief stories about B.C. rail history. Tourists and locals alike brought lawn chairs and blankets and enjoyed not only the concert, but the cool atmosphere and beautiful view of Okanagan Lake. The concerts will run every Wednesday until Aug. 26 and are free to the public. This community initiative is being put on by the Summerland Arts Council and is being sponsored by many local businesses.

Arts Centre busy with summer programs The Arts Centre has been filled with many joyful noises this week as our Summer Arts Programs for kids started. Stories and puppets filled the morning with instructor Chrissi Travers in Play and Puppetry. Students enjoyed acting out their favourite nursery rhymes and fairy tales with their own hand-crafted puppets and there were even a few songs sung too. It was all glitter and glue in the afternoons with Art with Jannine as older students created 3D works using paper mâché and wood as well as making their own African paper bead jewelry. Lots of fun is still to be had this summer. Check out our brochure online or at the arts centre to find this summer’s classes for student’s ages three

to 18. This week’s Wednesdays on the Water concert will feature two local singer-songwriters/music teachers: Aidan Mayes and Mandy Cole. There is something distinctly Okanagan about this pair. A little bit country, a little bit folk, a little bit rock and roll, and a little bit different from everything else in the world. From their humble beginnings busking at the Penticton market, the two quickly realized they had something special, discovering an almost instantaneous and insatiable appetite for their music within the community. It wasn’t long before their voices were being heard from Osoyoos to Kelowna and all parts in between. This year was a landmark year for this twosome as they not only stunned a

Arts PAlette

Carmen McDowell sold out crowd at the world renowned Dream Café in their hometown Penticton, but also landed on festival bills alongside 54-40, City and Colour, Mother Mother, The Current Swell and Yukon Blonde. While it’s easy to compare this duo to the folk/country harmonies of the Dixie Chicks, Blue Rodeo and Indigo Girls, comparisons such as these do no justice to the unique sounds Aidan and Mandy

achieve through their similar, but different musical stylings. So bring a lawn chair and a picnic to Spirit Square, Peach Orchard Beach at 6:30 p.m. and let these ladies keep you cool at the beach on a hot summer night. The Featured Artist at the Art Centre continues this week with Maureen King. Maureen was born and raised in Summerland but she is relatively new to the art community. Since retiring from teaching in 2011, she has enjoyed exploring the world of art, with a special emphasis on acrylic paint-

ing. Most recently, she has been exploring abstract art and finds this a refreshing challenge. Maureen and many other local artists, will be taking part in the Art Walk from Aug. 1 to 31. She is also an active member of the Summerland Art Club, currently sitting in the president’s chair. She highly recommends this club to anyone interested in pursuing their talent. Stop by the Art Centre July 15 to 18 to meet Maureen. Carmen McDowell is the Summer Arts Program

The sunny side of the summer slide Each year, public libraries across the province offer a Summer Reading Club to children between the ages of five and 12. It is largely sponsored by the British Columbia Library Association and generous Friends of the Library groups. There is a different theme every year, with reading logs and bookmarks designed by artists. This year the Summerland branch of the

Okanagan Regional Library is pleased to be offering “Build It!” as our summer reading club. A very appropriate theme which ties in nicely with the construction of the new library on Main Street. Kids who join the club are given their very own bookmark, pencil and reading log. These logs are designed to encourage children to record their reading over the entire summer. A

daily goal is set, which can be anything from a chapter of a book a day, to reading 15 minutes a day. Children can then pop back into the library every week to collect stickers and stamps. If the entire reading log is filled by the end of summer, a medal is rewarded for this achievement. Apart from keeping track of their reading over the summer, the library also offers

special programs for club members that are book based, action packed and fun! We also hold Thursday morning kids’ book club where they listen to stories and build with Keva blocks. The idea is to inspire your child to keep reading over the summer and prevent the “summer slide.” Many children, especially those that struggle to read, need encouragement to keep their read-

ing skills up over the school break. Studies have shown that simply reading four to six books over the summer will help maintain their reading level. Reading more than ten books actually helps improve their reading level. If the old adage “practice makes perfect” is to hold true, then coming to the library and checking out books is one way to prevent the summer slide.

Rodeo donation

Staff at the Summerland Credit Union donated $740 to the Summerland Rodeo Grounds Equine Development Committee during their second quarter Comfort for a Cause donation. Pictured with Credit Union staff are rodeo grounds members Jessica McDiarmid at left and Karen Grosch, Sheral Marten and Gwen Shaw receiving the cheque from Herlinda Burt of the Credit Union.

Eat, slEEp, REad

Caroline McKay In my opinion, summer reading should be entertaining and light, a little break from something that feels too much like school. Speaking of school, another refreshing sight that we see at the library are teachers! Yes, they finally have a chance to read for pleasure as well. When kids come in and see their teachers at the checkout counter with a big stack of books, their eyes grow wide. It’s always fun to witness that interaction and it brings home the point that reading is important over the

summer, too. If kids are encouraged to keep reading, it doesn’t really matter what they choose. They just need to read, read, read, and we can help with that. If your child would like some assistance in choosing a book, come visit us and pick up one of our great summer booklists that we have created, or ask the staff for some personal reader’s advisory. A few titles that have been extremely popular from the booklists are “Lego Superheroes: Batman Visual Dictionary” by Daniel Lipkowitz, “Spy Camp” by Stuart Gibbs and the “Minecraft” handbook series by Stephanie Milton. Registration for the Summer Reading Club is available all summer long. The benefits are proven and it’s never too late to start. Caroline McKay is an assistant community librarian at the Summerland branch of the Okanagan Regional Library.

Club members promote collector cars Carla McLeod Special to the Review

The provincial government has proclaimed July 11 and the month of July, as Collector Car Appreciation Day and Month. The proclamation recognizes the important economic and social role that the vintage and collector car clubs play, throughout the province. Not only do their car shows generate significant dollars in the communities where they are held, but also the profits from these shows are donated to local charities. The Apple Valley Cruisers are one such club. The group consists of approximately 60 members from Summerland, Penticton, Okanagan Falls, Peachland and West Kelowna. They meet once a month at one of several restaurants in Summerland. As well, every Thursday night throughout the summer they have a Cruise In at the local Dairy Queen. “Every Thursday, if you drive by between 5:30 and 8 p.m., you’ll see a bunch of hot rods out there,” said club president Jacques Lefebvre. “It’s just to hang out and have ice cream and burgers and tell stories.” It was long time president, Gary Janzen and his wife

The show will be held again this year on Sept. 12. “It’s a one-day car show and all the money we make goes to charities in the Summerland area,” said Lefebvre. There is a registration fee to enter a car in the show and 50/50 tickets are also sold to raise money. There is no admission fee for the public. In his role as chair, Bob Kelly is in charge of getting the neces-

sary permits from the city to hold the car show, but he is also given the task of finding sponsorship. Kelly said last year they had 18 class awards, such as Best Hot Rod, all sponsored by local businesses. They also gave out more than 40 door prizes from locally donated items. “Last year our club raised $3,000 that went to charity,” said Kelly. “We gave $500 just recently to a bursary for an automotive mechanic student, at the high school, to continue

the trade.” The charitable organizations that

Apples donated by Julie Sardina were sold at the car show and the money was given to the Summer-

land Art Council. This was done in memory of Joe Sardina, who was a member of the car club. The Endless Summer Car Show draws car collectors from far and wide. “Last year we had several high end cars, one trailered in from Alberta,” said Kelly. He also explained that “there are a few people who live here that are building cars…and they buy at local suppliers when they can.” Kelly has been into cars since he was 12 years old, when he helped his father

The Summerland Figure Skating Club and the Special Olympics B.C. Society — Summerland are among five organizations in the region to receive funding from the province’s commun-

ity gaming grants program. A total of $55,000 was distributed to organizations in Summerland, Peachland and Penticton. The Summerland Figure Skating Club received $14,000

while the Special Olympics B.C. Society — Summerland received $3,000. “Our communities have diverse arts and sports scenes and our government is proud to support them,” Penticton MLA Dan Ashton said.

“This funding helps ensure the programs put on by these organizations are accessible to the greatest number of people.” Other organizations receiving funding were the Penticton Curling Club,

work on his cars. “It’s kind of a personal identity; a car,” he said. “The car club is a social thing for me and fortunately because of my background I could help with some of the organizing.” Lefebvre has similar reasons for being involved with the club. “I’ve always, always loved cars,” he said. “I love getting together and meeting other people and seeing what they’ve done with their vehicles. They all have four wheels and a steering wheel but everything from bumper to bumper is different inside.” The Apple Valley Cruiser Car Club is open to all types of cars with no restrictions. There is a yearly family membership fee of $20. People can choose their level of involvement with the club, with some members choosing to help out with other car shows such as the Peach City Beach Cruise. “We’re just a happy bunch of guys and girls that meet every Thursday at Dairy Queen and once a month in a restaurant,” said Lefebvre. “All we talk about is car stuff.” If you know a positive story about someone in our community, contact Carla McLeod at carlamcleod@shaw.ca or contact the Summerland Review newsroom at 250-494-5406.

Ukulele music

Linnea Good savours the cooler temperatures at this week’s Sunday Market to play ukulele next to her camp’s display table. The Summerland Music Camp runs next Monday to Friday.

Linnea Good is putting up banners and setting up her keyboard in the Summerland United lower hall. Nearby, Yanti Rowland tunes up 40 ukuleles, Marian Rudisill is spreading craft supplies on tables, and Jake Evans is sizing up the floor space for hip hop moves. It is set-up time for an event that promises to be an action-packed week of music for kids six to 12. “It’s totally new! The Summerland Music Camp is a dream come true,” says Linnea. “Parents want to give their kids the best shot at learning skills that will help them for life and also help them have a really good time in the summer. I happen to believe that music does that for kids who are so-called ‘musical’ and for kids that are supposedly into other things.” The inspiration for this camp comes in part from a movement called “El Sistema,” now-worldwide, which believes in building

healthy communities through musical instruction in groups. Good believes that music can be the key to kids having coping skills in middle and high school: “Leaders in this ground-up music movement say, ‘Music cannot fix real problems like hunger and health issues. However, it does help educate children so fewer of them are victims of them.’ To me, this means that children become more self-confident.” The camp runs during the mornings of July 20 to 24 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. “We are practically booked up,” says Rowland, “but there is room for a few more children. There are bursaries for families that could use the help, and there are super youth and adult volunteers helping kids make the most of it all.” Registration is online at linneagood.com. The camp is supported by Summerland United Church and with a grant from the Pro-Vision fund of the United Church of Canada.

Summerland Review Thursday, July 16, 2015

Nine Summerland Swimmers participated in two B.C. Provincial Championships. Tayla Ingram, 11; Heming Sola, 11; Keagan Ingram, 12 and Haley Berrisford, 14, took part in the AA Provincials in Kamloops June 26 to 28. Close to 250 athletes from all over the province participated in the three-day event. The Summerland foursome walked away with eight medals and six club records. Tayla Ingram won bronze in the 100 metre backstroke. Heming Sola earned gold in the 400 metre freestyle and silver in the 50 metre, 200 metre and 800 metre freestyle.

the Orca Swim Club. Head co-coaches Joanne Malar and Delano Ducheck were proud of all of their performances. “Our Summerland Orca swimmers rose to the challenge. It was like a snow ball effect as one swimmer’s performance would inspire the next one to race,” Malar said. “Their results show their fitness levels, stamina, and determination.” Taylor Smith had a breakthrough meet, making two second swims with a top finish of 10th and qualifying for age group nationals. Age group nationals is the top level meet for Canadian

Orca swimmers compete in provincials Haley Berrisford earned gold in the 400 metre free and 400 metre individual medley and silver in the 800 metre free. All were club records. Keagan Ingram earned club records in the 100 metre, 200 metre and 400 metre freestyle. A week later, five Summerland athletes participated in the AAA Provincial Championships in Victoria’s Saanich Commonwealth Pool. This is the highest level provincial swimming competition. Holden Berrisford, 11; Connor Berrisford, 11; Taylor Smith, 12; Brooklyn Parliament, 13 and Brittany Parliament, 16 represented Summerland and

Swimmers 16 and under. Smith is the first age group qualifier in the last three years. She qualified in three events: the 50 metre backstroke, 50 metre breaststroke and 200 metre breaststroke. “With over 700 of the best swimmers participating in the Victoria meet, qualifying for a consolation final is quite an achievement,” Ducheck said. In the meet in Victoria, current Olympic athletes were training at the same pool in between competition sessions. One Olympic medalist got a lot of attention. “It was definitely cool to see the kids’ reaction when they

saw Ryan Cochrane training.” The two-time Olympic silver medalist was fine-tuning before the Pan Am games in Toronto this week. The final day of the AAA Championships was the Open Water competition. Two ORCA swimmers competed, Connor Berrisford raced the 1,000 metre and sister Haley Berrisford raced the 2,000 metre race. Both finished in personal best times. Orca Swim Club registration for the 2015-2016 season will commence in August online at orcaswimclub.net or contact coaches for more information at orcaswimcoach@gmail.com.

Summerland Steam seek billet families Minor softball Emanuel Sequeira Black Press

The Summerland Steam are on the hunt for billet families and volunteers for the 2015-16 season. Steam co-owner Gregg Wilson said the organization has had great billets in the past as well as strong community support and would love to see that continue. With the possibility of having more non-locals playing for the Kootenay

International Junior Hockey League squad, it will require more families to step up and welcome players into their home. On the volunteer side, Wilson said they have a base of 30, but need 50 in total. Some of the positions open include security for game days, dealing with tickets at the door and selling 50/50 tickets. “We’re a very community-minded team,” said Wilson. “Yes, we’re privately

owned, but we’re not in it to make a fortune. We’re just there to survive. We just want our community to have a team.” Volunteers and billet families receive season tickets. Billet families also receive $500 to help with player expenses. Wilson said the hard part about the Okanagan is that they compete with the Penticton Vees and Okanagan Hockey Acadmey for billet families. For that reason they try to get as many local families as possible. Wilson said that having John DePourcq as coach helps. “He’s such a good coach and a good guy. He’s a two-time coach of the year in our league,” said Wilson. “Kids want to play here. He’s such a good hockey guy. Such a good personality. It makes it easy for people to relate to our team when you have quality people like John.” Wilson and DePourcq, both former Penticton Knights, are excited about what the Steam could be. It’s the first season that they haven’t had to go out hard to recruit. “Kids want to come here now. We’re kind of on the map,” said Wilson. “They know we’re a stable organization.” “We have done better in the playoffs each year,” said DePourcq, who is in his fourth year coaching the Steam. “It’s a great spot for kids to come and play.” Among the players expected to join

the Steam is Penticton’s Michael MacLean as well as Matthew Huber, brother of former Steam goalie Brett Huber. The younger Huber is also a goalie. Matthew Monk, younger brother of former BCHLer Josh Monk, will also play. With 12 rookies on the squad last year, the Steam could potentially have 80 per cent returnees, depending on how many make Junior A teams. The organization is also looking to improve its attendance. After averaging under 200 last season,

Wilson wants to see it reach 300. Having fewer home games when the Vees play is hoped to help that. There will be one change to the organization off the ice eventually. Wilson said that his partner, co-owner Tim Kielty, who is also the Steam’s president, is looking to sell his share for family reasons. Anyone interested in buying the other half of the Steam, or being a volunteer or billet is asked to call 250-462-0905. The Steam will be holding its training camp Aug. 21 to 23.

WESTGATE, JOHN WILSON May 23, 1946 - July 7, 2015

Steadfast husband to late wife Val, loving father to Kimberly, proud father-in-law to Matt, doting “papa” to Linden, and delighted grandpa-to-be to Baby (due September), John will be greatly missed. His life was full of achievements, racing motorcycles, as a commercial pilot, and then a respected builder of quality homes. Most importantly, John accomplished what we all aspire to, leaving behind a legacy of inspiration, solid values, and love. A Celebration of Life will be held July 19 at 11am at 18014 Garnet Valley Road, Summerland BC. Photos, thoughts or memories you’d like to share can be emailed to mattkimberlyburns@gmail.com.
