throughout the province,” Mayor Peter Waterman said. “As a community, we need to continue to vigorously reduce water use wherever we can and be efficient stewards of a precious resource.” Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland have been under Drought Level 4 for

much of the summer. At present, the Kootenays and the central part of the province are under Drought Level 3, while much of northern B.C. is under Drought Level 2. The central coast and the northwestern part of the province are under Drought Level 1, which represents normal conditions.

Despite the dry conditions this summer, the municipality has plenty of water in its reservoirs. The most recent reservoir level readings, taken at the end of last week, showed Summerland still had 79 per cent of its total volume of stored water. “Summerland has

Cabin 3 opens at Agur Lake Camp An enthusiastic crowd of Agur Lake Camp Society members and supporters gathered to witness

the cutting of the ribbon opening the camp’s third totally accessible cabin. Beth Bonten, presi-

dent of the camp society board, explained how all three cabins were started on the Penticton campus of Okanagan College through a partnership of Okanagan College, the Okanagan Skaha School District, CM Edwards Construction and the camp society. The cabins were

For the record A story in the Aug. 6 edition of the Summerland Review contained an error. During the break and enters on the August long weekend, there was no money in the safe at the Kettle Valley Steam Railway.

moved to the lake by truck, finished and then furnished. Cabin 3 was brought to its site in July, 2012. Agur Lake Camp, 15 kilometres west of Summerland, is a wilderness camp designed to meet the needs of families and care-giving groups who have members with disabilities. Accessible cabins, camping sites, a picnic pavilion, a barbecue, trails, a dock and lake-viewing area are available to people planning their own barrierfree holiday. Summer students Leonie Zang and Levi Godard assisted founder, Bonnar Dowler in the ribboncutting. During the 1970s, after a personal tragedy in his family, Dowler dreamed of a camp for families in crisis, and 30 years later set about to make it happen. Donated land, building materials, volunteers and over-

whelming community support resulted in a non-profit camp which meets a unique need in British Columbia. Bonten said Ken Carlson, Doug Cade, D’Arcy Dunn, Wayne Nevins and Gilbert Thor of the Penticton Adventure Club had volunteered their time to finishing Cabin 3.

Thor had served as supervisor for this work. Other donors and sponsors included Summerland Timber Mart, Summerland Rentals, Summerland Thrift Shop, Mountain View Growers, the Chometsky family, Gorman Brothers, Summerland Rotary Club, Rona, The Central

Okanagan Foundation, 8th Generation, NuFloors and Barry Beecroft. Families or groups wishing to rent cabins at the camp can contact the office by mail at Agur Lake Camp, Box 1723, Summerland, B.C., V0H 1Z0, by email at info@agurlakecamp. ca or by phone at 1-250-809-7130.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Estate Litigation It is a sad sign of the times that Estate litigation is one of the fastest growing areas of law. This is partly due to the vast amount of wealth that the leading edge of the “Baby Boomers” is now transferring through to their offspring in their estates. Where money is involved unfortunately the bad side of human nature can take over. This wrongful behavior can take many forms, from one sibling taking over control of his or her parents affairs by a Power of Attorney and channeling the money to their own benefit to using undue influence to shape their parents Will in their favour. Equally as important in creating litigation has been the proliferation of second marriages and split families. Each side of the family can have very different legal rights to an estate depending on the circumstances. Great care and consideration must be taken when providing for your children and your spouse’s children. It is critical to seek advice from a Lawyer with training and experience in drafting wills in these circumstances.

EDITORIAL Watching water Summerland has implemented Stage 2 watering restrictions, even though the municipality has plenty of water in its reservoirs. Municipal council approved the restrictions in response to a serious drought affecting much of the province. At present, the Okanagan Valley, the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and other regions are at Drought Level 4, while the Kootenays and Central Interior are at Drought Level 3. Drought Level 4 is the province’s most serious drought rating. Summerland has gone through drought conditions before, most notably in the summer of 2003 when there were concerns that the municipality’s reservoirs could run dry. Since that time, Thirsk Dam was extended, increasing the municipality’s total water storage and enabling the community to handle dry years without the same level of concern as was seen in 2003. More importantly, the people of Summerland have become far more conscious of water consumption than in the past. Inefficient watering practices are far less common than they were a dozen years ago. As a result, Summerland still has plenty of water in its reservoirs, despite the drought rating. This raises an important question. if Summerland is doing so well with water conservation, why are irrigation limits being tightened? No community exists in isolation. It makes little sense to require residents of one community to cut back on their water use, while allowing a neighbouring community to continue watering without any changes. More importantly, Summerlanders have learned to use water carefully and as a result, our community can demonstrate responsible water use to others. If people elsewhere in the region and the rest of the province learn water-wise methods from Summerland, our more stringent measures will make a positive and long-lasting difference.

Sorting out the federal election issues

VICTORIA – The first, and perhaps the only complete English-language debate in this long federal election campaign has helped define the issues, and the nonissues. I’m not going to try to tell you who “won” or “came out swinging,” because this is not a sporting event. If you’re paying attention in August, bless you, and you probably have a favourite already. First, let’s deal with Prime Minister Stephen Harper ’s diabolical scheme to extend the length of the formal election period. This, according to national pundits, is an extension of his evil plot to attract more financial supporters than the other parties, and spend the money. In other words, it’s a non-issue and any opponent who dwells on it looks like a whiner. This is the first election in modern Canadian history to

B.C. Views

Tom Fletcher follow a four-year schedule. National pundits spent months telling us Harper was going to use a loophole in his own election law to call a spring vote before the economy tanked. Didn’t happen, and now the Conservatives are rightly under scrutiny about their economic management. Incumbent manipulation of election timing is over, and that’s good. Scheduled elections by their nature create longer campaigns, as demonstrated in B.C. and the United States. So they should be conducted under formal campaign

rules, which limit the noise of public sector unions and other special interests. Another non-issue is the non-existent deficit and recession that supposedly grips Canada. On actual results, there is a slim surplus, and if – a big if – Saudi Arabia continues to depress world oil prices, there may be a modest deficit by next spring. The Bank of Canada’s recent move to devalue the dollar has already produced a rebound in exports and tourism, which any government would appreciate. Have you tried to find parking at the mall lately? Of particular interest to B.C. voters is the contest between NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and Green Party leader Elizabeth May. May used what may be her only national debate appearance to press Mulcair to oppose the TransMountain pipeline expansion project before hearings are complete. Mindful of Adrian

Dix’s disastrous 2013 decision to do the same in B.C., Mulcair insisted he would wait for the federal review, even though he considers it to be inadequate. This is, of course, all theatre. Based on their actions, the NDP, Green Party and Liberals are all opposed not just to oil pipelines but export gas pipelines as well. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau wants to cancel capital cost allowances for liquefied natural gas investment that have been granted by B.C. and Ottawa, which could be a dealbreaker for LNG. B.C. NDP leader John Horgan formalized his opposition to the TransMountain expansion last week, in a letter filed with the National Energy Board. But we’re expected to believe that Mulcair has a different position, for now. Harper was forced to admit that his long effort to persuade U.S. President Barack Obama to approve

the Keystone XL pipeline has failed, and the project will have to wait until Obama leaves office next year. The debate also confirmed positions on Canada’s modest role in bombing Islamic State terrorist positions in Iraq and Syria. The Conservatives are for it, and the Liberals, NDP and Greens are against it. Trudeau set the stage for the contest in Quebec, which B.C. voters can only watch from afar to see if it once again decides the shape of their federal government. Trudeau pushed Mulcair on his cynical bid to court the separatist voters who suddenly swung to Jack Layton’s NDP in 2011. Like petroleum prices, it’s beyond our control.

Summerland Review Thursday, August 13, 2015

Time for change in Ottawa Dear Editor: British Columbia voters in newly configured ridings like Central Okanagan Similkameen-Nicola will almost certainly cast the final and deciding votes when the federal polls open on Oct. 19. Though I do not

“belong” to any political party, I urge voters in the riding to closely examine federal NDP candidate Angelique Wood and her party’s socially compassionate policies. As noted in the Keremeos Review some years ago, Ms.

Wood, a volunteer firefighter and pump truck operator in Hedley, assisted in hauling six “kicking and squealing” runaway pigs from a neighbour’s garden; and, then, helped return and properly imprison the porcine thieves.

THE EARLY YEARS

Apparently, the NDP’s Angelique Wood already has the prerequisite skills and a clear understanding of exactly how Ottawa should

truly work. It’s time to kick the pigs out of our gardens, folks. It’s time for change in Ottawa. Max Rundle Wilkie Kelowna

Dear Editor: We have a fine example of Dollarama tactics here in Summerland. Our good, helpful Dollar Store has been serving our needs well for several years. Along comes Dollarama. They choose to establish themselves – next door to the Dollar Store the former bowling alley. Is this to help Summerland shoppers? No way. Mighty, well-

funded Dollarama is now doing this same tactic up and down the Okanagan – in fact, all across Canada. Their aim is, of course, to kill competition. When there is no competition shoppers are at the mercy of the monopoly. Seldom is this good news for customers. Let’s keep our own dollar store healthy by shopping there. Shirley Rutter Summerland

Dear Editor: Ever since Gordon Campbell neutered the B.C. NDP stance on all things green by subjecting taxpayers to the Carbon Tax in 2005, the B.C. Liberals have claimed the high ground in the war on carbon dioxide. Buried in the details on the carbon tax is the reality that B.C. pays more out in industry carve outs and subsidies than the tax generates in revenue. What was an act of electoral genius on the part of Campbell has become a fiscal albatross around the neck of Premier Clark. B.C. generates all of its electricity by hydro, and provincial CO2 emissions are a rounding error in total naturally occurring atmospheric CO2. Clark is nonetheless forging ahead with a more confiscatory scheme to tax us to prosperity in the name of Gaia. B.C.’s Climate Leadership Plan is the BC Liberal’s new method to tax us more, under the guise of “planet saving.” Despite average global temperatures remaining unchanged for 19 years, as overall CO2 concentrations rise, BC.’.s Liberals see CO2 pricing as a “politically risk free”

revenue source. To launch B.C. into a leadership role when it comes to cooling the earth, Clark has assembled a team to provide the Liberals cover for the energy rate increases that are sure to follow. The fix is in. B.C. is on its way to becoming a Climate Change Leader and the taxpayers of B.C. are lucky enough to pay for this distinction. For the honour of leading on Climate, B.C. taxpayers will pay even more at the pump, more to heat and light their homes, more to institutional entrepreneurs in big wind, solar and bio-mass and more to fund questionable carbon trading schemes like the Pacific Carbon Trust. No student from B.C.’s high school class of 2015 has experienced global warming in their lifetime. All this from a spendthrift Liberal government, desperate for revenue and afraid to cut spending, that purports to be conservative. We could ask the last one leaving B.C. to turn the lights out, but who can afford light with this leadership like this? Mark Walker Penticton

Ask Your Dentist... I’ve been reading a book called “Beat the Heart Attack Gene.” The authors talk Dr. Cindee Melashenko about how to better test patients for their risk for heart attack and then take steps to lower that risk, thus keeping patients from going through heart attacks. We use these same principles to apply to dentistry. Instead of a heart attack we are trying to avoid damaged, broken, infected, and missing teeth.

Banding together to save wildlife

Eric Tait, the son of one of Trout Creek’s earliest fruit farmers, was always interested in wildlife and the outdoors. Shown here banding a pair of ducks in the early 1930s, he also photographed and put together a study collection of valley birds and their eggs, as well as small animals. These specimens now reside in the Royal BC Museum in Victoria as a record of the Okanagan Valley. The Royal B.C. Museum travelling exhibition, Species at Risk, that will be in Summerland from August 17th to the 21st would have been right up Eric’s alley. The mobile exhibit focuses on why and how we can help threatened species and features a day camp for children aged six to 12. Contact the Summerland Museum for more information and to register your kids for this exciting, hands on program.

We have changed from “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” to “let’s keep it healthy so it won’t break at all.” The sooner we see the signs the earlier we can act to prevent extensive dental treatment (and thus lower our risk for tooth loss). We are well trained in our office to look at your risk level and come up with a customized plan to help you lower that risk. Give our office a call and we will help keep your mouth healthy!

Leaders battle over jobs, pipelines, jets Tom Fletcher Black Press Federal party leaders squared off in their first TV debate Thursday, a mostly polite two-hour exchange of views on the economy, environment and military action overseas. The environment segment was most focused on B.C., where Prime Minister Stephen Harper was pressed on stalled pipeline proposals to the west and east coasts as well as to the U.S.

Harper said low world prices for energy make it the only sector that is under-performing, while the rest of the economy is growing. Green Party leader Elizabeth May urged NDP leader Thomas Mulcair to oppose the twinning of the TransMountain oil pipeline from Alberta to its Burnaby terminal. Mulcair stuck to his position that he will await a federal environmental review. Harper noted that Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has opposed capital cost allowances for liquefied natural gas investors, weakening the case for new gas pipelines. He said his government approved the Northern Gateway pipeline proposed to run

to Kitimat with more than 200 conditions, because “that’s how the system works.” Trudeau and Harper sparred over greenhouse gas emission efforts, with Harper noting he moved ahead on curbing coal power plant emissions three years before U.S. President Barack Obama. Harper agreed that approval of the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to southern U.S. refineries will likely have to wait for Obama to leave office next year. May said Harper is nowhere near meeting his own commitment to curb emissions, as forest fires rage and extreme weather increases all year around.

Thursday, August 13, 2015 Summerland Review

The debate moderator, Maclean’s magazine columnist Paul Wells, asked Harper if he owes Canadians an apology for appointing sincesuspended senators Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau. Harper did not apologize, saying the provinces need a consensus to reform the senate through elections as he proposed, or to abolish it. Mulcair and Trudeau oppose the current bombing missions against Islamic State terrorist targets in Syria and Iraq. Mulcair said he would support military action sanctioned by the United Nations or under Canada’s NATO commitments.

Candidate debate planned While the date has not been determined, candidates in the riding of Central OkanaganSimilkameen-Nicola will face off in Summerland early in October. The debate is being organized by the Summerland Chamber of Commerce as

voters prepare for the Oct. 19 federal election. The forum will be held at Centre Stage Theatre. Questions will be asked of all candidates. Christine Petkau, executive director of the chamber, said all questions must be submit-

ted by the close of business on Sept. 25. The questions will be selected by the forum moderator and the editor of the Summerland Review. Questions can be emailed to cpetkau@summerlandchamber.com or news@summerlandreview.com.

Emergency workers were called to a property on Matsu Drive on the morning of Aug. 6 after a person on the property fell down a steep embankment. There were no injuries in this incident.

Province provides funds to build short bike path The provincial government is providing the municipality with $68,006 for a short bike path from Sinclair Road to the Dale Meadows Sports Complex. The 140-metre path will be five metres wide and separated from motor vehicle traffic. The project is being funded through BikeBC, a provincial cost-sharing program to help local governments build cycling projects. It is part of B.C. on the Move, the province’s 10-year

transportation plan. “The South Okanagan is known far and wide as an area that takes cycling and fitness seriously,” said Dan Ashton, MLA for the riding of Penticton. “The Dale Meadows bike path will enhance our reputation while encouraging residents and visitors to get out and enjoy cycling on a new, safe path.” Mayor Peter Waterman said the trail will connect Dale Meadows with residential areas. “A priority for the

District of Summerland is to provide safe walking and biking trails for our residents and visitors,” he said. “People of all ages use this facility and it will provide an opportunity for cycling that is not part of the vehicle road network.” B.C. on the Move has committed $18 million over the next three years to BikeBC. This year, the province is contributing $6 million for more than $12 million worth of cycling infrastructure across the province.

Municipality creates heritage register Historic church included on list of properties which have heritage value John Arendt In order to protect a church building in Lowertown, the municipality will establish a community heritage register. The property, at 5505 Butler St., will be included on this register. The resolution came as a request from the Heritage Advisory Commission. While the municipality does not have an official heritage conservation program, there is a heritage list in place to identify buildings with historical significance. The list has 65 properties, including buildings and other items of heritage interest. The list is compiled by the commission and amended from time to time, but it does not have statutory authority. A heritage register would not provide protection, but would have the authority to temporarily withhold a building permit or demolition permit for 60 days to give the municipality time to designate the property as heritage. The time limit is 120 days if the municipality wishes to designate a heritage conservation area in the Official Community Plan.

Designating a property as heritage would provide the greatest level of protection. At present, the former George Ryga home, at 5109 Caldwell St., is the only property in Summerland with such designation. If a new heritage designation causes a reduction in market value, the municipality must compensate the owner of the designated property. In addition, if a heritage designation bylaw i s adopte d , notice must be given to the prope r t y Peter owners, Waterman t h e provincial Land Title Office and the minister responsible for the Heritage Conservation Act. The church building was constructed in 1909 and is on the heritage list. In addition, a bylaw was adopted on Oct. 29, 1984, designating the building as a municipal heritage building. A subsequent bylaw, adopted May 13, 1991, revoked this designation. When the heritage designation was revoked, the building was owned by the Masonic Temple Association. According to a report prepared for

council by the director of development services, the association was trying to sell the building at that time, but was unable to find a buyer because of the heritage designation.

The building was sold in 1993 and has been used as a church since that time. Since the sale was completed, the church building has not undergone renovations which have

altered its character. “I see no reason it needed to be revoked,” Coun. Doug Holmes said of the 1984 heritage protection for the building.

“We need to do what we can to save it.” Coun. Janet Peake said it is important for the municipality to preserve this building because of its heritage value.

“This is a gem, and communities need to look after their gems,” she said. The resolution to create the register and include the building received unanimous council support.

Thorburn involved in volunteer work Carla McLeod Special to the Review Earlier this year Barbara Thorburn was nominated for Citizen/Volunteer of the Year. Although not a finalist, she was described as a “tireless volunteer.” Involved in many projects, she played a key role in the birthing of the Philosophers’ Café. Thorburn, a mother of two grown children, a son and daughter, moved to Summerland with her husband in 2005. She was looking forward to retirement from her job as an academic advisor at Simon Fraser University. “We picked the Okanagan because ever since I was a little girl this is where we came to vacation,” explained Thorburn. “We thought if we were retiring, why not go to a place that had positive memories.” In the 2008 municipal election, Thorburn ran for council. She enjoyed getting out and meeting people in her new community. When the election was over and she had not won, she put her name forward and was appointed to the community Cultural Development Committee. “A lot of what they had done was murals. Pretty much every mural you see in this community was an initiative of CCDC,” she said. “I wanted to

about social issues. We are all capable of having that higher level of discussion.” She pitched the idea to the CCDC and they were in favour. “I went and spoke with the people at the Art Gallery and said we’d like to try this idea out, use your facility and have speakers come in and have a casual, comfortable conversation with members of our community.” That was seven years ago now. The Philosophers’ Café has proven to be a huge success. “It took off and we have a following. We have a core group of people who come every time and then there are always people that I’ve never seen before that find out about it,” explained Thorburn. “People enjoy

It will be starting up again this fall and continue through to the spring. In 2013 the CCDC was dissolved and replaced with the Community Cultural Advocacy Committee and Thorburn put her name forward to be on the new committee. She was instrumental in getting a community led task force together to work on developing a cultural plan for Summerland and served as its vice president. “I just recently stepped off of it,” she explained. “There are 15 good

people and I’m confident they are on the right track. I just needed a break.” Even though she said she understands volunteer burnout, Thorburn feels there is a real benefit in volunteering. “If you find something you are really passionate about and you work with people you enjoy being with, then it’s very rewarding, and it helps you feel connected to your community,” she said. “I moved here and knew no one and I feel I’ve just met the nicest people through the volunteer work.

Gas prices high despite oil’s dive Jeff Nagel Black Press

Gas prices remain stubbornly high in B.C. despite the slide in crude oil prices, and motorists are feeling gouged. Gasoline is down only slightly from $1.40 a litre a year ago, while crude has plunged more than 50 per cent from around $98 a barrel to less than $44 in early August. But petroleum industry analysts say it all boils down to supply and demand. Crude oil accounts for less than half of the end cost of a litre of gasoline, with government taxes and refining

charges the other big factors. “I wish there was a simple explanation,” said Jason Parent of the Kent Marketing Group. “There isn’t much of a relationship on a day-to-day basis between crude oil and retail gasoline.” Expecting gas to move in lockstep with crude oil is somewhat akin to expecting house prices to follow lumber prices, without recognizing scarce land or an influx of buyers might have an influence. Parent said crude and gas prices can go in different directions for different rea-

sons, and gas prices in B.C. can diverge from what other Canadians pay. Most of the dif-

in California, driving prices up. “Wholesale prices have been high there relative to the rest of the U.S. for a month now,” Parent said. Some gasoline comes to B.C. through the Kinder Morgan pipeline, but the rest comes from Washington State or other U.S. refineries. If prices were sharply higher in Vancouver than cities to the south, Parent said, gas would flow back to the U.S. – resulting in shortages here – or wouldn’t be shipped north in the first place. Another “huge” factor behind why

Fire danger remains high in area

A campfire ban remains in place in the region as the hot and dry weather continues. According to information from the Kamloops Fire Centre, the community is now at a high fire danger rating. As a result of the dry conditions this summer, the risk remains high and a campfire ban is still in place in the Southern Interior of British Col-

umbia. The Kamloops Fire Zone and the Southeast Fire Zone are both under campfire restrictions. At present, there have been 341 wildfires reported throughout the Kamloops Fire Zone this year. A total of 4,881 hectares have been destroyed. Provincewide, 1,451 fires this year

Canadians in general aren’t yet seeing much relief at the pumps is the drop in the loonie over the past year. Crude and whole-

sale gas are priced in U.S. dollars, so Canadians are paying with a devalued currency that simply doesn’t go as far as it did a year ago.

Thursday, August 13, 2015 Summerland Review

Adjusting to life in a Japanese town Hello everyone! I can’t believe it has almost been two months since I moved to Toyokoro, but I am finally settled into my new position as the assistant English teacher. I teach a wide age range of students from preschool to Grade 9 at four schools here in Toyokoro. I also teach an adult English class once a week in the evening. I have found that teaching can be chal-

lenging at times, but incredibly rewarding and fun. It’s summer time here in Toyokoro. Thankfully, the temperatures do not quite reach as high as they have been in Summerland, but it is much more humid here. Many of the buildings in Toyokoro do not have air conditioning as is uses a lot of energy, so opening all the windows and buying fans are essential. Summer is a time

to celebrate and therefore many festivals are hosted in cities and towns across Hokkaido. For clarification, Toyokoro is located in the Tokachi region on the island of Hokkaido, Japan. Toyokoro hosted its own summer festival on Saturday, Aug. 8. The festival includes an afternoon of food and activities for families and citizens of Toyokoro to enjoy in the downtown area, followed

by fireworks in the evening. I am very excited to be attending my first Toyokoro summer festival this year. I enjoy getting to meet new people in Toyokoro and I love getting to see my students outside of the classroom. Something interesting I have noticed from attending other festivals and beer gardens in the Tokachi area is the difference in raffle prizes and gifts. Here in Japan,

these prizes tend to be useful household items such as laundry detergent, ziplock bags, and toilet paper; unlike the more extravagant raffle prizes that we tend to have in Canada. Last weekend, I was lucky enough to win a five-kilogram box of laundry detergent, a set of towels, body wash, and a box of coffee at the Toyokoro beer gardens. Something that I am really missing

Notes from toyokoro

Allyssa Hooper from Canada is the quality and accessibility of fresh fruit. Here in Japan fruit is extremely expensive, and mostly reserved for special occasions or parties. For example, if you wanted a watermelon or cantaloupe, you would be looking to pay anywhere from

$20 to $70 for just one melon. But the fruit that I am missing the most are apples. So far I have only seen two different varieties of apples and they tend to come in packages of two or four and cost anywhere from $5 to $15. I would give anything to be able to go to The Apple Barn in Summerland right now and pick out my own delicious local apples. I hope everyone enjoys their last month of summer and the heat that comes with it. Allyssa Hooper is in Summerland’s sister city of Toyokoro, Japan as the assistant English teacher.

Working with clay

Dalton Brilz, eight years old, works on a clay creation during one of the programs offered through the Summer Arts Program. The program for children will have its last week of classes Aug. 17 to 21. Classes are coordinated through the Summerland Community Arts Council.

Art exhibit to examine patterns and repetitions The Summerland Community Arts Council is excited to announce the opening of their newest gallery show titled, Patterns: The Order Which a Series Occurs in Tessellation, by Chilliwack artist Patrick Thomas Wood. Wood has always been interested in patterns and repetition. He states that when an image or pattern is used in art production it seems quite interesting, but when it is reused multiple times, it is justified and reassuring to the overall image. Art has always required a degree of justification to calculate quality, ability to measure relevance which is his rationale behind the series, Patterns. Wood studied art at Kwantlen University College and

continued his studies earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design. He also holds a Bachelor of Education from the University of British Columbia. Patrick invites you to “drink in the colour, for the sum of the pieces make up the whole.” The show opens tonight, Aug. 13, at 7 p.m. with a cheese and wine reception and will be on display for six weeks until Sept. 26. The Summer Arts Program for kids continues with its last week of classes Aug. 17 to 21. A few spots are still available in Cartoon Craze – a week long introduction to the art of cartooning for ages nine and up. Register at the Art Centre 9908 Main St. or call 250-494-4494.

Allther ’s voice is fresh yet soulful, sensuous yet sweet. Her songs have flavours of roots, blues, western swing, torch, country, Latin, folk and jazz blended into an all-acoustic refined homegrown sound. Allther ’s warm, soulful voice is accented with an honest song writing style, diverse with attitudes sweet and sassy to rockin’, and are completed with the smooth tones of musical ensemble Done Workin’.

them, this is such a great place to start. It certainly made picking out books a little easier at our house. We grabbed the list, and scanned it to see which titles had made the cut. Then we grabbed our biggest book bag and loaded it up with as many books as we could carry home. We laughed at Can You Make a Scary Face, by Jan Thomas and cried during Love you Forever, by Robert Munsch. We created our own story in Journey, by Aaron Becker, and imagined our own hand drawn world in Harold and the Purple Crayon, by Crockett Johnson. We read books from my childhood that I remember so fondly like The Paper Bag Princess, by Robert Munsch

My prize is seeing the joy and excitement on her face each week when we bring home our new stack of books from the library and sit down together to read. Most of 100 Books to Read Together Before Kindergarten have been featured at the library since January. As families work their way through the list, many titles have become quite popular and some need to be requested. See if you can read them all.

Athletes prepare for triathlon event Athletes are preparing for the Valley First Challenge Penticton at the end of the month. The triathlon takes place on Aug. 30. Athletes can compete in the 3.8-kilometre swim, 180-km bike and 42.2-km run as well as the half distance, full relay and half relay. Organizers made a change with this year’s event moving the professional race from the full distance to half in order to attract more top-level competitors. “There are more long distance races on the professional

circuit now, making it increasingly harder to attract top professionals to race here” said Challenge Penticton co-race director Kevin Cutjar on the website. “We used to see some of the best athletes in the sport go head-to-head in Penticton. This has changed over the past five to 10 years, and in the last two years both men and women champions have posted world class performances, winning by 15 to 20 minutes, yet these efforts go largely unnoticed due to lack of competition.” A total of $30,000 is

up for grabs with the winners to take home $6,000. Second place will receive $4,000, while $2,500 goes to the third place finisher, $1,500 for fourth and $1,000 for fifth. With the full distance becoming an age-group event this year, awards will be given to the top three competitors in each of the five-year age groups, which is also the award structure for the half distance race. Challenge kicks off on Aug. 26 with a Splash and Dash at Rotary Park at 5 p.m. For a schedule of events, visit challenge-penticton.com.

At the docks

Thursday, August 13, 2015 Summerland Review

Carla McLeod Special to the Review

As the hot summer weather continues, the docks at Rotary Beach have been popular with vacationers and residents alike. While rain is in the forecast for Friday, hot temperatures are expected to resume next week.

Rainbow crosswalk proposed

On Saturday, August 8th, 1908 the Summerland Review published its first edition.

While none of the original staff are still here, our commitment to Summerland is the same. We are honoured to be Summerland’s voice!

Happy Birthday to us!

Coun. Erin Trainer would like to see a rainbow theme on a downtown crosswalk as a show of support for those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. O n Mond a y evening, she asked t h a t municipal Erin council Trainer discuss the possibility of painting one of the community’s crosswalks in the colours of the rainbow flag. The rainbow flag,

which features horizontal bands of bright colours, has been used as an LGBT pride flag since the late 1970s. “It would certainly add some colour to our downtown,” Trainer said. She added that other B.C. communities have painted crosswalks in rainbow colours to show support to those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. Earlier this month, Kelowna painted one of its downtown crosswalks in the colours of the rainbow flag.

A Summerland councillor would like to know about municipal accessibility services which are not adequate for those who need them. Coun. Richard Barkwill said he has heard about wheelchair ramps, parking stalls and other accessibility features which are difficult for users.

He is asking for people to contact him by email at rbarkwill@summerland.ca to identify problem areas. By mid-September, he plans to have a list compiled. After council and staff examine the areas in question, changes would be made where needed to improve accessibility.

Summerland Review Thursday, August 13, 2015

www.summerlandreview.com 19

Harvest Days theme well received A new initiative to Summerland’s downtown for the fall season has been well received by Summerland businesses. Maryan Dennison, one of the organizers of Rotary Harvest Days, said the concept has been welcomed as she and organizer Linda Beaven have presented it to downtown business owners. “There’s been a great response to it,” Dennison said. In mid-September, Summerland businesses will display harvest-related displays for the fall. The initiative is sponsored by the Summerland Rotary Club. The concept is based on a similar beautification initiative which has been used in Colfax, Wash. That fall decoration them has been in place for the past 14 years. Displays will feature bales, pumpkins and gourds, old wooden apple boxes and picket fences to create various harvest-related displays. Dennison and Beaven have already arranged for donations of many of the materials and supplies for the displays. For this year, the displays will be on Main Street and Victoria Road North, but organizers would like to see displays outside the downtown area in the future. In addition, youths at the Summerland Asset Development Initiative will make displays for the two main entrance roads to Summerland, along Rosedale Avenue and a portion of Prairie Valley Road. Business owners who wish to participate are asked to call Dennison at 250-4949734 or Beaven at 250-494-1248.
