Heritage pipe organ

Carla McLeod Special to the Review

Lou Wolkowski of Lakeside Presbyterian Church plays the pipe organ. The church was constructed in 1910 and the pipe organ was acquired in the 1920s. The building, at the corner of Butler and Shaughnessy Avenues has been recognized for its heritage value. It is now up for sale and its future is not known.

While Summerlanders have spoken out about the importance of preserving a 105-year-old church building in Lowertown, its future remains uncertain. On Monday evening, between 40 and 50 people attended a community meeting, hosted by the Summerland Museum and Heritage Society, to consider future uses of the Lakeside Presbyterian Church building and ways to preserve it. Earlier this year, the building was put up for sale. “Summerland has not always had a stellar record in preserving its historical buildings,” said Terry Green, treasurer of the museum and heritage society. Sandy Nicolson, president of the society, said they have been interested in purchasing the church to preserve it.

Money in a bequest is available for a facility to house an art collection. The society made an offer of $425,000 for the building. The offer has been accepted. “We thought the church would be the perfect place,” she said. “We just could not arrange the financing.” David Gregory, a director of the society, said the building has value for its location, its role in the community, its connection as the last surviving building from early Baptist activity in Summerland and its pipe organ. Initially, it was used as a Baptist church. In 1926, it was sold to the United Church and in 1958, it became the Summerland Masonic Lodge. In 1991, it was acquired by the Presbyterian Church of Canada. The organ, acquired in the 1920s from Trinity United Church in Port Arthur, Ont., is believed to have been constructed in the 1880s.

Forest fire season winding down Tom Fletcher Black Press

Campfire bans have been lifted for most of B.C. heading into the Labour Day weekend, and rain in most areas of the province has helped crews make progress on most of the 176 fires burning in B.C. as of Monday. Campfire bans are lifted in the Kamloops and Southeast fire centres, although restrictions continue on use of burn barrels and fireworks.

No fire bans remain across northern B.C., and the only remaining campfire ban is in the Cariboo fire centre for areas west of the Fraser River. Kevin Skrepnek, chief information officer for the B.C. Wildfire Service, cautioned that areas of high and extreme fire danger remain in the Chilcotin, South Thompson River valley and the southern part of the Prince George fire centre. But continued cool weather and show-

ers this week offer some relief for communities and firefighters. “Just about all our major fires took at least a little bit of rain over the weekend, and this has certainly made some significant progress,” Skrepnek said. Some of the most threatening fires have eased. Evacuation orders for the Testalinden Creek fire near Oliver were downgraded to alerts Monday, and alerts were lifted for Grand

Forks and Christina Lake as B.C. and U.S. crews made progress on the Stickpin fire burning near the border in Washington. The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary lifted

evacuation alerts Monday for the Rock Creek fire, which previously damaged or destroyed 30 homes. The B.C. Wildfire Service responded to seven new fires

over the weekend, some suspected to be human caused. Total cost and damage for the 2015 forest fire season continues to track at a similar pace as last year, with 296,000

hectares burned and $255 million spent as of Monday. That’s above the 10-year average for B.C. fires, but lower than the worst seasons in recent years, in 2003 and 2009.

Emails to council members not private John Arendt

When Joel Gregg sent a recent email to members of municipal council, he did not expect it would become part of the public record and quoted in news coverage. “All I was trying to do was share my opinion with my elected officials,” he said. His message was sent to each council member’s personal email address, not to the addresses issued to each one by the municipality. In his email, sent on Aug. 12, Gregg

disagreed with the decision to paint two Summerland crosswalks with rainbow colours. The crosswalks are based on the design of the rainbow pride flag, used since the late 1970s by those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. Members of council have said the crosswalks are intended to show inclusion. “We value each person as a unique individual with a right to be respected and accepted,” Mayor Peter Waterman stated earlier. A portion of

“Lots of people haven’t seen the inside of the church,” Gregory said. “The organ is amazing.” The church bell was installed by the municipality in 1927, as a community bell for emergency alarms. Gregory said a structural inspection and a building inspection were both conducted within the past two weeks. “This is one of our

community’s gems,” he said of the building. Group discussion sessions, moderated by Barbara Thorburn, generated ideas for the use of the building as well as ways to preserve it. “The majority of people would like to keep it as a community resource, but there are lots of obstacles,” she said. In August, municipal council passed a resolution to establish a community

heritage register, nate a property as which will include heritage. the church building. If the municipality The register does wishes to designate not provide pro- “We need to have people tection, but will who are interested, have the people who are cona u t h o r - cerned, people who are ity to t e m - motivated to grab hold of p o r a r - this idea.” ily withRon Rosher hold a building permit or a heritage conservademolition permit tion area within the for 60 days, in order Official Community to give the munici- Plan, the time limit is pality time to desig- 120 days.

Ron Rosher, a director of the museum and heritage society, said it is now up to the public to take action if the building is to be preserved. “The museum board has done what the museum board intended to do, which was to get us to this point,” he said. “We need to have people who are interested, people who are concerned, people who are motivated to grab hold of this idea.”

When a person passes away one of the first questions that must be answered is: Did the deceased have a valid will? If the answer is yes, then the process which must be followed to legally deal with their assets is called an application for Probate. If the deceased did not have a valid will then the process is called an application for Estate Administration. Both applications are essentially the same in that they list the assets to be dealt with, appoint a person to be in charge of the estate and then determine who receives those assets or the proceeds from the liquidation of those assets. Where they diverge is the method of determining who the beneficiaries are and the apportionment of the estate between those beneficiaries. In creating a will a person sets out their wishes for the distribution of their estate. Without a will the distribution of an estate is governed by the provisions of the Estate Administration Act. Those provisions are arbitrary and will require the involvement of the Public Trustee on behalf of minor beneficiaries. The consequences of passing away without a properly executed will drawn by your Lawyer can be financially and emotionally devastating to your family or beneficiaries. Without a will your survivors are left without any direction as to how your estate is to be distributed as well as any idea who should be in charge of distributing your estate. Even a very basic will covers these important matters. The passing of a loved one is traumatic enough without family members and survivors having to worry about legal issues. Proper legal advice at all stages of the process is essential to the smooth and worry free transmission of assets through an estate.

EDITORIAL Private or public An email sent to each member of municipal council in response to a recent decision has spread far beyond the intended audience, raising questions about the expectation of privacy. Joel Gregg sent the email in August, taking issue with the decision to paint two crosswalks in the colours of the rainbow flag. Portions of the letter, which he assumed was private correspondence, later appeared in a news story. The issue here is not Gregg’s opinions about the rainbow crosswalks. Rather, it is the assumption he had made that his correspondence was private and would not be made public. Any member of the public is free to communicate with members of council, individually or as a whole. And, under the regulations governing freedom of information and protection of privacy, emails sent to council members about council business may be circulated. Forwarding the email was allowed. However, the assumption of privacy adds another dimension to this incident. A letter, email or conversation intended as private comment will often take on a tone one would not find in a public comment. It is essential that residents know from the outset if their words will be treated as private or public comment. They need to know what can be said privately and what may be made public. Without this information, clearly stated, residents may be unwilling to voice their opinions, especially if such opinions are contrary to the status quo. Democracy requires public involvement, at every step of the process. This involvement is necessary not just during elections but whenever a resident has concerns or comments about any issue at the table. It is essential that the members of the public know, before making any comments to members of council, whether their comments could be forwarded or made public. Otherwise, some may choose to keep silent rather than voice concerns about the issues which matter to them.

If you wish to comment on anything you read in the newspaper, or any concern affecting Summerland, write a letter to the editor. We welcome diverse views and opinions. Letters must include your name and a telephone number where you can be reached. Please keep letters to 300 words or less. The Review reserves the right to edit letters for length, content or taste as well as the right to refuse publication of any letter. We acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Canada Periodical Fund of the Department of Canadian Heritage.

The purpose of rainbow crosswalks

I don’t like rainbow crosswalks. Rainbow crosswalks have dominated the news in the Okanagan. The past few days have brought forward objection and indignation — even the threat of a lawsuit. I’ve seen letters written condemning the decision and threats of fire and brimstone on “judgement day.” The point being made is that these crosswalks somehow condone a lifestyle that those on the God-fearing path object to. That is where I have a problem. A few years ago, a major retailer instructed their staff not to say Merry Christmas to customers. The uproar was deafening. How dare this retailer take Christ out of Christmas! That expression should be protected and it seemed perfectly fine for those of

From here

Rob Murphy different faiths to be ignored. Freedom of expression and inclusion can’t be a one-way street. If a rainbow crosswalk is an expression of inclusion, then it too must be protected. At what point do we as a society see past identifiers like someone’s sexual orientation, gender, race or religion and just see people? People who have families, moms and dads, people who contribute to society, people who smile, laugh and cry just like you.

They have brothers and sisters. They even put their pants on one leg at a time. We like to believe we live in a free society. Along the way to a free society, we forgot about the free part. We decided that it was more important to force our views down each others throats.

met a very nice person. An accomplished lawyer. Happily married. Wicked sense of humour. The fact that she is a woman and a lesbian are not relevant. My problem with rainbow sidewalks isn’t the paint. I just don’t think we should need a rainbow to remind us to treat our fellow humans with respect and dignity.

At what point do we as a society see past identifiers like someone’s sexual orientation, gender, race or religion and just see people? If you dare to lead a different life, then you must be shamed, ridiculed and singled out. Protested against. Threatened. It’s okay though, because some of those spreading the hate and bigotry believe they can go to church on Sunday and be forgiven. It’s not okay. This weekend, I

If you believe that people of a certain gender, race or sexual orientation don’t deserve these basic principles, then I doubt a rainbow crosswalk will change your mind. I happen to be an atheist. As an atheist, I don’t judge those that choose to believe in a higher power. I see them as people that choose

a different path. I value them. I respect them. I don’t need to be reminded to do so. We all have a responsibility to respect each other and embrace our differences. Religions in Canada have freedom to worship. They have sanctuaries, monuments and public holidays. We are taught to be tolerant of different belief systems from an early age. Intolerance and ridicule need to end. We all need to take a deep breath and start over. The purpose of these rainbow crosswalks, pink shirt days or other gestures are to remind people of what they should be naturally doing anyway. So I don’t like rainbow crosswalks but I accept that they serve a purpose. Rob Murphy is the sales manager at the Summerland Review.

Rainbow decision should be reversed Dear Editor: We do not agree with council’s decision to deface our streets with a symbol which has only one purpose and that is to promote a sexual orientation that has little to do with inclusivity. Council’s use of this symbol has the connotation of “preference” rather than acceptance. It is difficult to determine council’s motives in deciding to rainbowize our crosswalks.

If their motive is simply to recognize what they consider a deserving group or organization, surely there are many other equally deserving groups worthy of special recognition. Does council plan on changing crosswalks for these groups and organizations as well? If so, what symbols have they selected for recognition of those groups and organizations? This decision of coun-

cil seems ill-conceived and unnecessary and somewhat beyond the mandate under which a civic council is expected to function. Councils are elected to conduct the business of the district in which they serve. Personal sexual choices are not included in that mandate. If members of council wish to display the rainbow as part of their personal wardrobe, that is a decision which no one

would argue with. Pedestrian crosswalks have always been painted white. If the citizens of Summerland wish to change the colour, they should have the right to instruct council by majority vote to do so. The conduct of this council, in arbitrarily agreeing to deface our streets, is a decision that is disturbing to some. Council’s decision seems designed to increase the div-

ision between gays and straights in Summerland rather than to alleviate whatever divisions may have existed. Whether people agree with council’s decision or aggressively oppose it, such a significant change should be subject to the input of all citizens of Summerland. This decision should be reversed immediately. Harry and Lil Williams Summerland

THE EARLY YEARS

Waiting for the bell to ring

Early September 1970—the quiet summer days were about to give way to the first day of school. MacDonald School looked ready to welcome back the throng of children that would fill the classrooms. Built in 1922 to fill the need of a growing community, Summerland Elementary School (renamed MacDonald School in 1951) was a special place to thousands of students for more than three-quarters of a century. It was demolished in 2000 after the new middle school opened. To all of the kids heading back to school next week—we wish you good learning, much laughter and great memories.

Alaska sits in judgment of British Columbia

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett spent much of last week in Alaska, trying to assure local fishermen and environmentalists that B.C.’s mine approval process is “basically the same” as Alaska’s. Bennett visited an abandoned mine in northwest B.C. that continues to leak acid and metal pollution into the Taku River, vowing to supervise cleanup by a new operator. He noted that one of B.C.’s proposed new mines includes a 23-km pipe system to move ore out of the shared watershed for processing. This is typical of the discourse between B.C. and our

American cousins. Only our industry is questioned. Meanwhile in Colorado, the latest mine spill disaster was blamed on a mistake by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. And in Alaska as in the rest of the U.S., new metal mines such as the giant Pebble project depend on the same engineering and testing as ours. Here in Victoria, the Fantasy Island dialogue about oil continued, with Green Party leader Elizabeth May calling a news conference to announce she is (brace yourself) opposed to pipelines and tankers on the B.C. coast. She stood at Clover Point,

where daily Alaska crude tankers sail past, many on their way to vast refinery complexes just out of sight at Anacortes and Cherry Point in Washington. A good portion of B.C.’s gasoline comes from there. Without a drunkcaptain incident since 1989, these tankers load up at the terminus of the TransAlaska Pipeline System. Let’s take a closer look. For 47 years, the pipeline has pumped huge volumes of oil across Alaska from the charming northern outpost of Deadhorse to Valdez in the south, just east of Anchorage where cruise ships dock. In his new book,

Rust: The Longest War, science writer Jonathan Waldman calls it “the biggest, baddest oil pipeline in the world. “From Prudhoe Bay to Prince William Sound, the TransAlaska Pipeline System stretches 800 miles, which leaves engineer Bhaskar Neogi accountable for one of the heaviest metal things in the Western Hemisphere, through which the vast majority of Alaska’s economy flows,” Waldman writes. “Daily, the four-foot steel tube spits out $50 million of oil.” It was once the largest private infrastructure in the U.S. Today it’s the most regulated pipeline in the world, with

planes flying infrared sensors to detect leaks of warm oil and “line walkers” looking for soft spots in the permafrost. And this isn’t lowfat, shade-grown oil for Seattle fuelsippers. It struggles to flow, with a black asphalt bottom and thick wax that has to be scraped out of the pipeline by the ton with giant “pigs” that clean and monitor walls for corrosion. The five Prudhoe Bay oilfields have been declining in production for 20 years, to the point where the Trans-Alaska pipeline now carries about a quarter of its design capacity. It’s expected to run out around 2040, but for now Valdez still

B.C. Views

Tom Fletcher loads more than a tanker a day. Waldman writes that when North America’s largest oilfield was discovered in 1968, companies first considered extending the Alaska Railroad up to Deadhorse. But they would have needed 63 trains a day of 100 cars each. Trucks, cargo planes

and even nuclearpowered submarines running under the Arctic ice were briefly considered. Since we had a bit of hand-wringing last week about a small earthquake near Fort Nelson that may or may not have been triggered by hydraulic fracturing, it’s worth noting that Trans-Alaska oil also causes noticeable tremors as it rushes down the Chugach Mountains to a sudden stop at Valdez. But those are American earthquakes, so no story there. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@ blackpress.ca.

Harvest Days

From Sept. 13 to Oct. 12 downtown will feature an autumn ambiance for Rotary Harvest Days in Summerland. The idea of a thematically decorated downtown was developed by Linda Beaven and Maryan Dennison from an idea gathered on their travels. As the organizing committee they will provide key pieces to participants to include as the basis for their display, including pumpkins, picket fences, and hay bales. Currently over 25 businesses are participating in this visual feast by decorating Main Street and Victoria Road. If you would like to join in Maryan and Linda would be happy for you to contact them at 250-4949734 or 250-494-1248 respectively. Vicky Jones is the communications and membership coordinator with the Summerland Chamber of Commerce.

Markets to end with pie contest The best pies in Summerland will be featured when the Sunday farmers’ market concludes later this month. Laurel Burnham, coordinator of the markets, said the pie bake-off, on Sept. 20, will feature regular and gluten-free pies, made with Okanagan fruits. There will be categories for adults and youths. “We want to go out with a really nice fin-

ish,” Burnham said. The judging structure will be similar to that in the former Summerland Fall Fair. Those entering their pies will bring them early on the morning of the event. Music for the Sept. 20 market will be by Crazy Hearts, a Summerland bluegrass band. The weekly market, held on Main Street each Sunday morning and early

1967 to 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner, but other vehicles will be featured as well. “The ’57 Chevys have always been a big hit,” he said. Vehicles dating back to the 1930s will also be on exhibit. “We have such a variety,” Kelly said. “There’s a lot of talent in this town. The band Flashback will provide musical entertainment with music from the 1960s and 1970s. This is the 10th year the show has been held in Summerland. To register, call Kelly at 250494-8081.

Summerland’s past featured in book about region’s history This year’s Okanagan Historical Society book is now available at the Summerland museum. This is the 79th annual report. The cost of the book includes membership to the society. A portion of the money supports the local society and museum. This year’s book features three Summerland articles. One article illustrates Summerland’s fieldstone buildings: the Anglican stone church, the Stone House, and the Cartwright, Bowering and Spencer’s homes. A second article describes in detail the

Mary Spencer home. The book also includes an article on the origins of the settlement of Priest at Garnett Lake; the Okanagan’s first nonnative settlement. Joe Smuin contributed an article on the centennial of the Kettle Valley Railway. Ivan McLelland wrote about the

afternoon, began in June this year. The initiative came about as a result of the Summerland Rotary Club. “The market has been a great success,” Burnham said. “We’re averaging around 50 vendors a week.” In addition to the Sunday market, Summerland also has a market on a portion of Kelly Avenue near Memorial Park each Tuesday morning.

Vintage vehicles will be displayed It will be a celebration of historic cars, trucks and motorcycles when the Apple Valley Cruisers hold their Endless Summer Show ’n’ Shine later this month. The show will take place in Memorial Park on Saturday, Sept. 12. It begins when the gates open at 7:30 a.m. and it continues until 3 p.m. Bob Kelly of Apple Valley Cruisers said the event is expected to feature more than 200 vehicles of all sorts. Favourites include the 1967 to 1968 Chevrolet Camaro, the 1965 to 1967 Ford Mustang and the

60th anniversary of the Penticton Vees’ defeat of the Soviet Union’s hockey team. The book also describes the new Special Collections at the University of British Columbia Okanagan and the new West Bank First Nation’s museum; sncewips.

Artists to launch Culture Days event A dozen artists from Summerland and area, known as the De Vine Arts Group, have joined forces with Culture Days, a Canada-wide movement featuring more than 7,000 cultural activities in 900 cities and towns aimed at promoting awareness of culture’s impact on the local economy. This free event takes place at Summerland Waterfront Resort, 13011 Lakeshore Dr. Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 26 and 27 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The purpose of the De Vine Arts Showcase with its Culture Days and Bottleneck Drive affiliation is to promote an appreciation of quality in both the arts and wine industries. Culture Days was created in 2009 and is dedicated to creating a network of activities which give Canadians an opportunity to participate in and appreciate a variety of forms of culture. In B.C., more than 400 activities are planned. The event takes place during the last weekend of September each year. The following week sees the begin-

ning of the B.C. Fall Wine Festival, which runs Oct. 1 to 10. At the showcase, complimentary tastings of Bottleneck Drive wines will be offered to visitors as they view works of artists Val Eibner (glass fusion), John Topham (turned wood), Jean Evanishen (pottery), Susan Scott (jewelry), Pat Scott (art cards), and painters Bill Hibberd, Will Enns, Elaine Watts, Dale Matthews, Cortney Riep, Deb Tougas and Carol Munro. A task force is currently working on creating a cultural plan for Summerland. “Artistic workers are ‘catalysts of change and innovation. They are adaptive and creative and their energy enriches the economic sustainability or our community,” said Coun. Janet Peake, who is on the task force. “Art starts with a kernel of an idea; wine begins with the grape. Both are lovingly crafted by passion and skilled hands,” said jewelry maker Susan Scott. For more information, contact Jean Evanishen at 250-4943205 or email claygirl@uniserve.com.

Through this plan van Vianen’s tuition and books were paid for. He also received a monthly cheque from the Air Force, while attending the University of British Columbia, where he was studying math and physics. In the summer he took electronic and computer courses at the Clinton Air Force Base in Ontario. “I wrote my first computer program in 1958. You can imagine what the computer looked like then,” van Vianen said. “The Air Force was using them for Norad, tracking airliners and bombers.” After graduating from UBC and receiving his commission as an officer in the Air Force, van Vianen was sent to National Defense Headquarters where he did research and wrote papers on such things as anti-submarine warfare and how to rendezvous satellites using computers. After serving the required three years in the Air Force, van Vianen decided to leave in order to pursue a career in teaching. “I always liked teaching,” he explained. “Even as a kid I played school and in high school I was in the Future Teachers Club.”

He took a position at the Northern Ontario Institute of Technology, in Kirkland Lake, Ontario. “I thought to myself, I’m a bachelor so I can stand a year up there with no problem. I ended up staying for thirty three years!” van Vianen said laughingly. Although he was teaching math, electronics and physics, he continually pushed the college to offer computer courses. He ended up creating the computer studies department and eventually became the Dean of Computer Studies for the whole Northern College, which included five campuses. It was on one of his trips to Toronto that van Vianen met his wife Wendy, who coincidently had been born and raised in Kirkland Lake. They were married in 1970 and resided in the small mining town until van Vianen retired from the College in 1996. Shortly thereafter the van Vianens decided to return to the warmer climate of the Okanagan, where Doug had been raised and still had family. After settling in Summerland, van Vianen started teaching computer cours-

Fox’s Marathon of Hope remembered Legendary 1980 run raised money, awareness for cancer research

This year’s Terry Fox Run will include a look back at the Marathon of Hope and its impact. The run will be held on Sunday, Sept. 20 at 11 a.m. Fox, who had lost one leg to cancer, began his crossCanada run in 1980, to raise money and awareness for cancer research. Each day he ran the equivalent of a marathon. The run was cut short near Thunder Bay, Ont. after his cancer spread. The Terry Fox Run has been held annually since 1981. Mike Cooke, who is organizing the run in Summerland together with his wife Heather, will ask well-known

people in the community for brief comments about what they thought of the original Marathon of Hope.

As in past years, the Terry Fox Run will have a one-kilometre, three-kilometre and five-kilometre course. Cooke said the

one-kilometre route could be changed from its usual downtown course because of the Sunday farmers’ market, which

will take place while the run is in progress. Registration will begin at the Summerland Aquatic Centre

ICBC may hike insurance rate Jeff Nagel Black Press

The Insurance Corp. of B.C. is warning motorists they’ll soon pay more for basic auto insurance. Because of a rate smoothing policy introduced by the province in 2013, this year’s rate hike must be between 3.7 and 6.7 per cent – within 1.5 per cent of last year’s 5.2 per cent increase on basic rates. ICBC president and CEO Mark Blucher said the initial calculations suggest the maximum 6.7 per cent basic rate hike is required, but pledged to work with the government to find ways to reduce that number by Oct. 30, when the formal rate application is to be filed with the B.C. Utilities Commission. He said ICBC is grappling with “an unexpected and rapid escalation in the number of injury claims being reported to us in recent months.” ICBC’s bodily injury claim costs, which cover pain and suffering, future care

and loss of wages, are forecast to hit $2.3 billion this year, up 64 per cent since 2008. Higher legal and medical costs, more represented claims and more complex, catastrophic claims leading to bigger settlements are among the factors blamed for the jump. Injury claims are up 10 per cent from a year ago even though the number of crashes is unchanged. ICBC says more fraud is one potential explanation, as well as more minor soft tissue injury claims. If regulators approve the request, this will be the fourth straight year of basic insurance premium increases following hikes of 11.2 per cent in 2012 and 5.2 per cent in each of 2013 and 2014. Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n Minister Todd Stone said even the maximum 6.7 per cent this year is too much. “We believe that’s not acceptable and the rate can and should be lower than that,” he said Monday.

Recope program a homegrown success Recope – helping members of our community regain their lives and improve quality of life. “I wouldn’t be walking without this program,” discloses Joan Guldner. Guldner has been using the support of Recope for more than 20 years. Initially after a fall left her in a wheelchair she started in the pool with a volunteer and then switched to the land class. She credits Recope with getting her out of her wheelchair and then helping maintain her ability to walk. Another fall three years ago left her with a broken back and pelvis. She got back to Recope as soon as she was discharged from the hospital. “They’re putting me back together. I believe in it. It’s social

Joanne Malar and I have good friends here,” shares Guldner. In 1976, a Doctor, Occupational Therapist, Physiotherapist and Nurses felt an aquatic rehabilitation program would be good for a number of their patients who had impaired mobility due to serious accidents. Now in its 40th year, there are upwards of 50 people at a time in the pool program and 15

people in the land exercise class. Recope has approximately 150 active members. A team of two registered nurses, an occupational therapist and specialized fitness instructors provide medically designed and supervised therapeutic land and pool exercise programs. In addition to the experienced staff, support staff and volunteers provide a hand and encouragement that builds confidence. Jean Munro, Recope’s Program Manager and Occupational Therapist, who is at the helm of the program explains, “Doctors make a referral to Recope and then an initial assessment is completed by the Recope nurse and occupational therapist.

Persistent pain, disease, joint or

back surgery or just too many years since you last worked out can make it difficult to start and keep exercising without help. Exercising in the pool adds the advantage of eliminating gravity and off weighting joints so they can move more easily through a greater range. More movement leads

Deep water exercise helped her regain movement, strength in her legs and lose over 30 pounds. “Support and encouragement from other Recope members helped me to carry on when I felt like quitting and accomplish far more than I imagined possible.” Feeling healthier drastically decreased her dependence on arthritic, diabetic and cardiac medication. “I could not walk 1 block without stopping twice along the way due to arthritic pain.
