Accident scene

Emergency workers were called following a vehicle accident on Atkinson Road near Summerland Seniors Village. The accident occurred around 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.

Water conservation urged MY FAVORITE MINERAL The bad news: Magnesium needs everything (biologically speaking) to be just right for optimum absorption to take place...and it seldom is. That’s why it’s sometimes called the “princess” mineral. More bad news: While calcium and magnesium are both important to bone health, they compete for absorption if they’re taken together and the ratio isn’t exactly right...and it usually isn’t. Calcium is the winner in that contest. Even more bad news: Most Canadians do not meet their Magnesium needs through diet alone. You can’t order many magnesium-rich foods at a take-out window (like beans, legumes, leafy greens and fish). Other magnesium-rich foods like pumpkin seeds, brazil nuts, almonds and cashews are avoided because of fat content. It’s important to note that most nuts and seed are quite nutritious and full of healthy fats, so don’t be afraid of them, just be aware that they do carry more than a few calories with them and some folks need to pay careful attention to that. Let’s have some good news: Magnesium is fairly easy to come by at your friendly neighborhood Pharmasave. While most Canadians don’t get enough through diet, supplementing with Magnesium tablets or liquids is an easy way to get what you need. Start with a lower dose, say 50-100mg per day and increase slowly. Some who’ve taken 250mg tablets right off the bat end up with gastrointestinal issues, like diarrhea. Play it smart. Don’t take it at the same time as calcium either, unless you’ve got a supplement with the right calcium:magnesium ratio (1.2:1 according to some research) More good news: Magnesium can have a positive affect on blood pressure. Taking a magnesium supplement can lower systolic blod pressure by three or four points and diastolic blood pressure by two or three points. For a hypertensive (high blood pressure) person, magnesium can help but won’t take the place of medication when it comes to lowering blood pressure. Even more good news: In addition to lowering blood pressure, magnesium also positively influences heart and bone health. Every time your heart beats your body is utilizing magnesium, so it seems like it might be an important mineral to consider. Magnesium is also an important factor in bone density, particularly after childhood and adolescence. During youth, while we’re developing bone, calcium is the flavour of the day, but for most grownups trying to preserve that bone, magnesium is king. For more information about Magnesium and how you can benefit from this magnificent mineral, talk to the Live Well team of pharmacists and nutritional advisors at Pharmasave today! - Dan Cassidy, Registered Nutritional Product Advisor

Summerland still has plenty of water in its reservoirs, but the municipality is urging residents to conserve. Devon van der Meulen, manager

of utilities for the municipality, said the water system is at 78 per cent of its full capacity. The system, when full, can hold 14,136 megalitres.

Winery tour

A group of reinsurers visited Okanagan Crush Pad’s newly planted Garnett Valley Ranch vineyard and toured the winery on Tuesday. The Business Risk Management Branch, Ministry of Agriculture, insures numerous agricultural crops including grapes. Most of that risk is held by private reinsurance companies globally. The vineyard tour allowed the reinsurers to see firsthand the type of research and planning the company has done to mitigate its risk and ensure premium quality fruit. The winery tour showcased Okanagan Crush Pad’s use of concrete tanks and other specialized equipment. Winery owners Christine Coletta and Steve Lornie hosted the tour.

Candidates set for election Political parties are preparing for the Oct. 19 federal election with candidates in place in the riding. In the riding of Central OkanaganSimilkameen-Nicola, incumbent Dan Albas will represent the Conservatives, Angelique Wood will represent the New

Democratic Party, Karley Scott will represent the Liberals and Robert Mellalieu will represent the Green Party. According to the Elections Canada You’re Invited website, no candidates have been officially confirmed in the riding. The nomination process closes on

Monday, Sept. 28 The newly created riding includes a portion of Kelowna, West Kelowna, Summerland, Merritt, Peachland, www.edwardjones.com Princeton and Logan Lake. The riding covers 16,208 square kilometres and has a population of 104,398.

Voters have elected right-wing politicians

Voters in Summerland and the surrounding area have traditionally elected candidates from the political right to the House of Commons, although there have been a few exceptions. The first candidate to represent a riding which included Summerland was Charles Frederick Houghton of the Liberal Party, from 1871 to 1872. Since 1872, there have been few instances when the community was not represented by rightwing candidates under the banners of the Social Credit Party, Progressive Conservative Party, Reform Party, Canadian Alliance and Conservative Party of Canada. In the 1948, 1949 and 1953 elections, Owen Lewis Jones of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (the forerunner of the New Democratic Party)

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Real Estate Fraud When your Lawyer asks you for Identification, don't be upset, he or she is protecting your property. More and more cases of fraudulent real estate transactions are being encountered and as a result more precautions are being taken to ensure that the true owners are the ones actually dealing with the title. The BC registration system is different from Ontario's and is not as susceptible to real estate fraud, however, it can and does happen here. Lender's in Ontario such as the Chartered Banks have been requiring that lawyers have mortgage clients produce two types of identification when signing up a mortgage for some time now. This has now become Canada-wide. In Summerland, we have the luxury of personally knowing most of our clients. That small town benefit doesn’t unfortunately fit in our increasingly complicated world. Even though we know who you are, the financial institutions will still require that we take copies of your ID when you come in for legal services, so get that ID ready.

EDITORIAL A lengthy campaign The writ has been dropped and Canadians are in for an extremely long campaign period for the Oct. 19 federal election. The minimum campaign period for a federal election is 36 days, but this year’s campaign is more than twice that length. Some could argue that the major political parties have been campaigning for this election since the day after the last federal election in 2011, but the dropping of the writ has intensified the campaign. An 11-week election campaign period is expensive for candidates, political parties and the federal government. Candidates and parties must deal with the costs of advertising and renting space for campaign offices during this time. Elections Canada will also face increased costs for additional staffing and longer leases for returning officers in each federal riding. The amount paid out by Elections Canada in rebates to candidates and parties would also increase. When these additional costs are considered, it is puzzling that the writ has been dropped this early. Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party tend to emphasize fiscal responsibility, especially where taxpayer dollars are involved. The increased costs from a lengthier campaign appear to go against such a message. If a longer campaign period would result in greater dialogue about complex federal issues, higher costs could be justified, but it is unlikely this year’s long campaign will produce this result. The first five weeks of the campaign, from now until Labour Day, are in the midst of the summer. It is a busy time of year for those in agriculture and tourism. For others, it is vacation season. It is not a time when Canadians are concentrating on political messages. In fall, when the routines change, Canadians will be willing and able to devote more time to federal politics. An election call at or just after the Labour Day weekend would allow plenty of time for campaigning, without needless additional expenses.

Prospects for B.C.’s biggest investment

VICTORIA – Now that the political backand-forth is over, there are two questions left about the Petronas-led proposal to make the biggest private-sector investment in B.C. history. Will it actually happen? And is it a good deal or a bad one? Premier Christy Clark ducked the first question on the day the project agreement for Pacific Northwest LNG was approved by the B.C. legislature. “After many predictions about the Canucks and the Alberta election, I don’t make predictions any more,” Clark said. “But I can say that this project has gone farther than any of our critics said that it would.” For what it’s worth, my prediction is on record: it will go ahead. The latest evidence is the company’s continued, costly effort to gain federal and local approval for a suspension bridge to Lelu Island to

B.C. Views

Tom Fletcher minimize the marine impact. Lax Kw’alaams Band members could not have had details on that change from an underwater pipeline when they voted to oppose the project in May. Is it a good deal? The mayors of Prince Rupert and Port Edward have made their views clear – they see it as a lifeline for an area that has struggled for years with a faded forest and fishing industry. The B.C. NDP is also now clear, having voted against the project agreement in the brief summer session of the legislature

that concluded last week. Whether the project proceeds or not, this will be a key election issue in 2017. NDP leader John Horgan and other MLAs made much of the lack of job guarantees, pointing to similar projects in Australia. Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman issued a statement with excerpts from the state of Western Australia’s agreement for the Gorgon LNG project. The so-called guarantees contain qualifiers like this: “... except in those cases where … it is not reasonable or economically practical to do so, use labour available within Western Australia.” Obviously there were no job guarantees, which could only exist in a command economy, in other words a communist dictatorship. Everyone agrees that specialized trades such as welding alloys for low-

temperature operation will be brought in. And LNG processing trains will be shipped in pre-fabricated from places like South Korea, as they have been in Australia and elsewhere. Pacific Northwest LNG is on record with federal regulators that in the latter stages of construction, the use of foreign labour for the project could reach 70 per cent. Does that make it a bad deal? Perhaps B.C. could attempt develop this expertise from the ground up. It seems to me that was tried with aluminum ship fabrication, and it didn’t work out too well. For David Keane, president of the B.C. LNG Alliance, the question is how many large LNG projects, pipelines and all, can be managed at the same time as the Site C dam is being built. It was skilled labour shortages,

and particularly a shortage of supervisors, that caused Australia to lose some of its proposed projects. Keane said all LNG proponents here want to use as much local labour as they can, because it’s less expensive and it builds local support. And he disagrees that B.C. is a sweet deal for the industry. Among other things, pipelines have to be built across two mountain ranges. Not only that, B.C. producers would pay an LNG income tax, which is a first in the history of the industry. Add to that PST, GST, payroll taxes, municipal taxes and federal and provincial corporate income taxes. Add aboriginal revenue sharing, and we have a deal.

Century-old trees were cut down Dear Editor: On July 24, two healthy Summerland elders in my area were unceremoniously extirpated from their home of at least 100 years. Fast, clean efficient, gone forever in mere hours; only sawdust and stumps mark their passing. Fortunately, I could not see their dismemberment from my place, but the roar of chainsaws and the essence of fir tree resin in my nostrils marked their untimely passing. For 15 years I watched these sentinels herald the passing of the seasons, strong winds and the presence of local and migrating birds. Within an hour of the passing of these venerable citizens, I saw a congeries of raucous cawing crows, spurred by an invisible thread of communication, flying in from all directions, 10 in all. They made a ballet of aerial passes at and around the site as they mourned the passing of one their favourite gathering places. This spring about a dozen healthy veteran ponderosa pine and douglas fir trees met the same fate in Trout Creek. Here for decades, gone in days; the new

owners must have wanted a better view of the street in front of their house. No doubt this assault left a scar on the psyche of local residents, as I had

experienced, incredulous that this important this visual and comforting heritage could be destroyed at the whim of the owners. Over the years

cycling around Summerland I have noticed this annual, phenomenon of healthy veteran conifers being exorcised on private property.

These trees provide shelter and roosting for wildlife and are important carbon sinks, cleansing the air, similar to a water treatment plant, provide oxy-

gen for all life to breath. Enough I say, it is time for a bylaw to prohibit this travesty. The bylaw would prohibit removal of

these trees without an independent certified arborist confirming that the tree or trees were a safety hazard. Laurie Rockwell Summerland

THE EARLY YEARS

This weekend many Summerland residents will be heading south to take in the entertainments and events of the 68th Annual Peach Festival. Our town has always been well represented in the Penticton parade as shown here in 1949 by this float decorated with gladiola flowers from Ernie Bennett’s world-famous fields on Paradise Flats. It’s interesting to note that there’s a cow at the end of the rainbow on this float. We’re not sure why.

Politicians should consider carbon emissions Dear Editor: As we live through a hot summer, we are faced with the constant threat of fire and with water shortages in most of B.C. It is heartening to finally hear ongoing public recognition of the fact of global warming and the

warnings that fire threat and water shortages will be a fact of life in the years to come. It is also heartening to hear that the federal government and some provinces are taking the initiative in the reduction of greenhouse gas emis-

sions. Some provinces have in fact shown successful action on climate change. However, the Canadian effort to reduce greenhouse gas is piecemeal. Further, the new federal target announced in

May of this year is still weaker than three provincial targets and is low by international standards. I believe the federal government should take leadership on this issue and suggest two questions to put to all candidates in the now

announced federal election: Would your government take the lead in supporting and encouraging all provinces to enact legislation to reduce carbon emissions? How would your government work with the provinces to standardize

and maximize the goals for the reduction of greenhouse emissions? Appropriate replies will outline specific future steps and not be vague statements of past actions. Kathleen Davies Naramata

Fletcher’s column was wrong on water petition Dear Editor: Re: Tom Fletcher ’s (Summerland Review, July 23, Nestlé protest doesn’t hold water). Mr. Fletcher pulls no punches, calling the SumOfUs/ WaterWealth petition nonsense in the opening paragraph of his piece. Fortunately none of Fletcher’s punches land, being aimed at places the petition never stood.

As a representative of WaterWealth, I sincerely apologize to Mr. Fletcher if he took the words “suck B.C. dry” literally and mistook the opening comment for the whole conversation. We had not anticipated that, and feedback we have received indicates that the public went well beyond that opening comment to understand the

broader issues that the petition was about — primary among them being to ensure that the Water Sustainability Act is sufficiently funded to be fully implemented. The review of rental rates under the act, that the petition sought and that the province promised even before the petition was delivered, is but one more step in the ongoing work to

ensure that the public’s voice is heard in development of strong regulations for the Water Sustainability Act, the first major update of B.C. water law in over a century. Perhaps Mr. Fletcher overlooked that the petition text was “Charge a fair price for Canada’s groundwater! Commit now to review the water rates!” Those rates, ran-

ging from $0.02 to $2.25, apply to some 80 categories of water use.

None of those 80 categories of use can be satisfied with either tap water or a

jug from the fridge. Ian Stephen, Campaign Director WaterWealth Project

Fire danger rating expected to increase The fire danger rating in the region is high to extreme and continued hot, dry weather could increase the risk of a wildfire. Melissa Klassen, fire information officer with the Kamloops Fire Centre, said temperatures in the upper 30s and low relative humidity are expected to increase the danger rating. The areas near Clearwater and near Lytton and Lillooet are expected to see extreme danger ratings. “The wildfire risk is going

to increase substantially in the next couple of days,” she said. Rain in late July helped to reduce the risk of fires, but the danger rating has increased since that time. Because of the hot and dry summer conditions, campfires are banned in the region. At the last weekend of July, forestry crews checked 395 campers in the area, issuing five warnings and three violation tickets. Campers are allowed to

use propane and gas appliances, but they may not have wood burning appliances. Briquettes, if used, cannot be put into a fire pit or on the ground. “We’re trying to mitigate the risk as best as we can,” Klassen said. So far this year, 318 wildfires have been reported in the region, destroying 4,878 hectares. Of these, 218 were caused by lightning, while 100 were the result of human activity.

House fire

Firefighters were called to a house in Trout Creek on Wednesday afternoon when smoke was seen coming from the building.

BC Liberal backbencher Mike Bernier is B.C.’s new Education Minister, while predecessor Peter Fassbender takes over as Community, Sport, and Cultural Development Minister, with responsibility for TransLink as well. The mini cabinet shuffle announced Thursday by Premier Christy Clark also shifts Coralee Oakes, who previously headed the ministry that deals with municipalities, to Minister of Small Business and Red-Tape Reduction, with responsibility

for the Liquor Distribution Branch. Fassbender headed the province’s negotiations with B.C. teachers during last year’s strike. He held out for a negotiated settlement the province achieved rather than legislating teachers back to work, as had been the pattern in several previous teacher strikes. The removal of TransLink from Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s portfolio comes in the wake of the defeat by Metro Vancouver voters of a plebiscite on the creation of a 0.5 per cent regional sales tax to fund transit expansion.

Stay safe around dams Remember to stay safe this summer when visiting dams and around reservoirs

• Avoid fishing, boating and swimming above or below a dam. • Beware of floating debris and concealed hazards. • Use caution walking on slippery banks and shorelines. • Obey all warning signs and stay outside of restricted areas. For more safety tips, visit coopsafetyprogram.ca/damsafety.

Fassbender, a Surrey MLA, has extensive history on the TransLink file as a former Langley City Mayor who once chaired the Metro mayors’ council as it tried to persuade the province to grant a new revenue source. Stone as minister made statements supportive of the mayors’ plan and the new tax but did not actively campaign for it during the plebiscite required by Clark on any new tax. Fassbender, along with fellow Surrey MLA Marvin Hunt, was more blunt, at one point speaking out against No campaign critics of TransLink’s record. “Is it totally mismanaged? I don’t believe that, I never have,” Fassbender told Black Press in March, pointing to audits in recent years. “The previous commissioner looked at it and said it was a well-run organization.”

Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore welcomed Fassbender ’s new role. “It think it’s a good move,” the Port Coquitlam mayor said. “He has a deep understanding of the legislation and not only the challenges but also the opportunities of being able to work together to find solutions for TransLink.” Moore noted Fassbender, when he led the mayors’ council, was “very proud” of the agreement struck in 2010 with then-premier Gordon Campbell to negotiate a new funding source. Mayors saw Clark’s promise of a referendum as a betrayal of that deal. Bernier, a former Dawson Creek mayor with 20 years experience in the natural gas industry, is a firstterm MLA for Peace River South. Clark also shifted Naomi Yamamoto out of the small business ministry, making her Minister of State for Emergency Preparedness, underneath the transportation ministry. Jordan Sturdy is now parliamentary secretary for energy literacy and the environment under Environment Minister Mary Polak – Bernier’s previous post. He’ll also chair the province’s Climate Leadership Panel.

This will be their last week featured in the Summerland Gallery with their interpretations of their 2014 “rip off” pick: Canadian artist Mimi Parent and her 1963 embroidery titled “Queen of the Fish.” Saturday, Aug. 8 will be the last day to witness these amazing ‘copy cats.’ The annual Art Walk kicked off this past weekend with 34 local businesses and 43 local artists participating. This walking tour of the downtown area (and a few local wineries) features a variety of mediums. Paintings, jewelry, pottery, felting, knitting, carvings and wood turnings are among the many items on display, many of which are for sale. Maps are available at the Summerland Community Arts Centre at 9908 Main St. Wednesdays on the Water will continue until Aug. 26. This free musical concert series is great fun for the whole family. We invite families to bring a lawn chair, blanket and even a picnic to enjoy the music. This Wednesday, August 12th will feature local musicians Sean Perdue and Dean Hanenberg who describe themselves as “Acoustic Awesomeness!” These two met in 2005 in the city of St. Albert, Alta. and the first time they played together there was instant chemistry. They moved out to the Okanagan in 2006 and started composing songs together which led to them releasing their first album in January 2010. Combining clas-

These two are no strangers to Summerland and were the featured musicians at this year’s Café Noir joint fundraiser between the Summerland Community Arts Council and the Summerland Potters Guild. Featured artist of the week for Aug. 7, 8, 10 and 11 is Susan Scott. Scott has been designing and creating jewellery since 2006. Whether working in sterling silver, copper, brass, bronze or aluminum wire and sheet, each piece has its’ own particular story to tell. In 2010 Scott started exploring the intriguing world of sheet metals, which resulted in her whimsical range of door and window hangings featuring wildlife of the Okanagan Valley, especially the quails. You can see some of Scott’s quails playing in the window at the Summerland Art Gallery Gift Shop. Scott enjoys passing on her love of creating by teaching others the techniques of her craft. Carmen McDowell is the Summer Arts Program coordinator for the Summerland Community Arts Council, P.O. Box 1217, 9908 Main St., Summerland, B.C. V0H 1Z0.

The South Okanagan Big Band performed at the Wednesdays on the Water concert series last week. The free weekly concerts will continue until Aug. 26.

EventHostBC grant benefits waterfront concert series The Summerland Community Arts Council has received $5,000 in EventHostBC funding from the province. Penticton MLA Dan Ashton announced the funding on Friday. The money, from the province’s Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural

Development, is for the Wednesdays on the Water concert series. The free weekly concerts at Peach Orchard Beach will continue until Aug. 26. EventHostBC was launched on May 8. It is a one-time funding initiative to encourage and support com-

munity events that strengthen volunteer capacity for event hosting throughout the province. A total budget of $250,000 was allocated and is being distributed throughout the province’s six tourism regions based on a first-come, first-served model.

“Hosting events not only builds community pride and volunteerism, they are also good business for our communities in the south Okanagan,” Ashton said. “Events such as Wednesdays on the Water attract visitors, bring dollars into area businesses and create jobs.”

Gathering at the beach

Beaches in Summerland were busy on the long weekend. Seated at the table from left are Susan, Bud, Deanna and Nancy Bushman, with the rest of their clan in the background. They were at Powell Beach on the weekend to celebrate their family’s annual Christmas in summer.

Beaches busy on long weekend Carla McLeod Special to the Review

Summerland lays claim to some of the best beaches in the Okanagan and they were certainly well used on the B.C. Day long weekend. Tourists and locals alike headed to the beaches to enjoy the sun, sand and cool waters of Okanagan Lake. Of the three main beaches that Summerland maintains, Powell beach is the most obscure. Tucked away off the highway in Trout Creek, the beach is a favourite spot for picnics and social gatherings because of the large trees that provide much needed shade on a hot summer day. The Bushman

family held their annual Christmas in the summer celebration there this past weekend. The family finds it easier to reunite during the summer months than in the winter and the relatives from the coast enjoy coming to Summerland. A ball diamond, tennis courts and a children’s playground can also be found at this beach. Peach Orchard Beach in lower Summerland has a large grassy area for those who prefer to spread a blanket on the grass rather than on the sand. It offers a playground and water park for the children and a fenced in swimming area for dogs. Rotary Beach is by far the most popu-

lar of Summerland’s beaches. It is named after Gordon Beggs, a Rotarian who believed Summerland needed a beach where children could swim. The beach opened in 1989 after it had been relocated from its original place further south on Lakeshore Drive. The need to move the beach was the result of Highway 97 being widened. The Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club, Recreation Commission, Lower Town Residents Association, Water Skiers Group, Yacht Club members, Corporation of Summerland and the Racquetball Association, all joined forces to complete the

project. A provincial Go BC Grant and compensation from the Department of Highways for the loss of the original beach covered the bulk of the cost. The Department of Highways employees also transported the sand for the beach and rock for the breaker. What makes this beach a favourite for the youngsters are

the docks and the nearby pier. It is great fun for them to jump and dive from these structures into the cool waters below. For the adults it is also a special place. Many locals who visit the beach regularly, have their own spots marked out and can become quite miffed if upon arriving at the beach, they find someone else sitting on their piece of sand!

John and Marilyn Topham can often be seen reading, snoozing and swimming at Rotary Beach. Citing the reasons that they choose this beach to come to, John said, “It’s convenient, clean and the water is good.” Marilyn also appreciates that the beach is groomed regularly and well maintained. “It’s a family friendly beach,” she said.

Carol Doyle spends as many summer afternoons at Rotary Beach as she can. Looking around at the beauty she said, “My only question is why isn’t everyone down here?” Yes indeed. There is still another month of summer left to get out and enjoy one of the greatest gifts Summerland has to offer…our beaches.

Thursday, August 6, 2015 Summerland Review

Mental training at hockey camp Walking into the doors at the Summerland Arena this past week was almost like stepping into a neuroscience lab. Gold in the Net (GITN) hockey camp for goalies are using the latest technology to enhance performance. Most people have not experienced a biofeedback machine or visual-motor sensory stimulating machine but these are some cutting edge tools they have brought to town for their camp. Dynavision has been the secret training weapon for NHL teams for about a decade. This visual-motor sensory machine helps improve peripheral vision and reaction time under stress. This skill level for a goalie can be a determining factor to make or break their career. The Dynavision

board stands approximately seven feet tall with small lights spaced out over the entire area. At eye level there is a small blue computer screen for the athlete to stare at while a light flashes in the periphery. The athlete touches the light as quickly as they can while maintaining their eyesight forward, then the next light immediately illuminates. This fast-paced exercise continues for about a minute. The machine has the ability to display numbers into the small centre screen which they are to call out while touching the lights for a more dynamic, stressful challenge. Reilley ElderCherry, 17, goalie for the Fort St. John Flyers AA Tier II Midget team explains that after using the machine for a week,

“I feel the difference already. I can read plays better and it helps open up my peripherals. I have better tracking with the puck and it doesn’t seem like it’s coming as fast anymore. It really helps.” Their goal is to be 0.5 of a second or less for their average reaction time. It’s no wonder this Dynavision light-training reaction device that was designed for all types of athletes (race car drivers, football players, baseball players), was soon discovered to be a versatile tool for rehabilitation of concussions, braininjuries, visual fielddeficits and even stroke victims. Bob Simpson, who works with GITN on mental training shows me another tool they are using. He hooks me up to their emWave program by attaching a

Dr. Alan Watkins who lectures on TEDx Talks explains that connecting to our basic physiology (breathing, heart rate) is the foundation that creates a chain reaction to our overall performance. He explains that the streams of electro signals from inside our body (heart, joints, lungs, digestion etc.) send out streams of data that in turn affect our emotions, feelings, thinking, behaviour and ultimately perf o r m a n c e / re s u l t s .

LEISURE TIMES

By tuning into our physiology and being aware of our body we are able to learn how to take control of it. This is important for athletes when they are under pressure. Bob Simpson explains that the program helps athletes find their own unique ideal performance state and how to stay there amidst distraction and pressure. Finding your ideal performance state may be a big task, but when starting to learn these skills at 17, this personal awareness may be honed over the next five to 10 years which could help lead them to the sports career of their dreams. Beyond sports, this technology can help reduce stress, improve health, emotional management and performance wherever their careers and life may take them. Joanne Malar is the program coordinator for Summerland Recreation, threetime Olympic swimmer, 2012 Olympic Commentator, kinesiologist and holistic nutritionist.
