Athletes to compete at B.C. Gamesby John Arendt

Three Summerland athletes will compete at the B.C. Summer Games later this month.

The games will be held in Nanaimo July 17 to 20

and will feature some of the best young athletes from around the prov-ince. The games are held every two years.

Hunter Dufty, a track and field athlete, will

compete in shot put, jav-elin and discus.

In order to compete, Dufty had to place first in a qualification meet.

At that meet, she took the top spot in each of the

three events and the ham-mer throw. “I was really trying to get first in each one,” she said.

Athletes may compete in no more than three events at the B.C. Sum-

mer Games, so after dis-cussions with her coach, Dufty decided to drop the hammer throw and concentrate on the other three events.

Trail funds sought

by John Arendt

The municipality will commit up to $80,000 to enter into a partnership agreement for the construction of a lakeside trail.

The resolution was approved at a special meeting of municipal council late Monday afternoon.

The partnership agreement with the Min-istry of Transportation and Infrastructure is for a proposed trail which will eventually link many Okanagan communities.

In a message to municipal administrator Tom Day, ministry representatives said the ministry was prepared to jointly fund the project with the municipality, based on the preliminary design cost estimates of around $500,000 for the 1.1-kilometre section of the pathway between the community beach areas and Lakeshore Drive.

Municipal staff will prepare the required budget amendment with the municipality’s portion of the funding to come from the Parks and Trail Systems reserve.

The reserve has around $193,000, but $70,000 for trail repair and improvements earlier this year has not yet come out of the reserve funding.

Coun. Martin Van Alphen said the money in the reserve fund is allocated for parks and trail upgrades.

By entering a partnership agreement with the province, the municipality will encour-age other communities to add to the trail work.

“If we invest $100,000 in this trail system, it’s going to wake up the rest of the Okanag-an,” he said. “It’s going to spur more interest in this project.”

Others at the council table had concerns about the project.

Coun. Robert Hacking said the money in the reserve fund is for projects such as the trail.

“We don’t even know what the whole project is going to cost,” said Coun. Lloyd Christopherson.

Review

A couple of gener-ations ago, dry grad parties were unheard of. Today they are an essential part of graduation celebra-tions.

In Summerland, the dry grad party this year was attended by the majority of the graduating class, with only a handful of graduates choos-ing not to attend.

“There was a time in many com-munities across the country when there weren’t any dry grad activities and stu-dents went out and partied and there were accidents and people died,” said Julie Planiden, who chairs the Dry Grad Committee. “That’s why I think dry grad happens, so that we can prevent that and hopefully provide

them with a safe cele-bration. They need to know that they can have a great time without drinking.”

“We want them to have a memorable evening with their friends,” added Col-lette Shanner, who plans the entertain-ment for the party.

The Dry Grad Committee is made up of parents as well as students. They have met once a month throughout the school year.

Much of their time and energy has gone into the substantial number of fund-raising events they

have held. Some of these included bottle drives, manure sales, the delivery of Info-Tel directories, coffee sales, teas, bake sales and face painting.

“The grads stepped up and have given their time as well as the parents,” Planiden said.

Committee mem-ber Misty McDonald made requests for donations from local businesses and pur-chased prize items with the cash dona-

tions.Serving as treas-

urer, Hayley Fisher looked after all of the money raised, cash-ing and depositing cheques.

These efforts com-bined with those of other committee members, resulted in the dry grad party that was held at the high school last Fri-day night. The party lasted until the wee hours of Saturday morning.

Once the doors

were opened stu-dents were let in, with parents acting as security, making sure the event would remain alcohol free.

If students chose to leave the party, they were not allowed back in.

E n t e r t a i n m e n t and activities for the evening included a hypnotist, laser tag and other games handled by a party company out of Van-couver.

All of the points that customers had donated at their local grocery store, went towards the cost of having fruit, vege-table and cheese plat-ters for students to snack on. Pizza was also donated and delivered to the party and non-alcoholic beverages were pro-vided.

Prizes were given out at the end of the night, so that every-one went home with something.

“The event was a huge success and the kids had a great time,” said Planiden.

“This couldn’t have happened with-out all of the support of the businesses in Summerland. How very, very generous they have been in terms of donations, prizes, and cash and with letting us use their venues. They

have just been so sup-portive.”

As for all the hard work that goes into organizing fundrais-ers and planning the party, Jacquie Foley said, “It’s been fun watching them grow up. They’ve evolved. I see this as that last gift we can give our kids before we send them out the door.”

Planiden said she felt like she got to know everyone a lit-tle better through it all.

“It’s an amazing group of parents and an amazing group of kids,” she said.

She also believes that the quote “It takes a village to raise a child” is true.

“Summerland is that village and bet-ter than many many other places. It’s a phenomenal environ-ment for kids to grow up in,” she said.

It is her hope, that in communicat-ing about the work done by this year’s Dry Grad Commit-tee, that it will help future grad classes to have and enjoy simi-lar celebrations.

WHAT TO DRINK TO BEAT THE HEAT!I love blended coffee drinks. I have definitely classified it as a vice for me. Frappucinos, Mochachillos, Bean Blasts, Kikkers, Coffee Frappes, Iced Capps and many other names for blended coffee drinks have been uttered by me when my turn came at the ordering counter at a number of cafes. What better way to stay cool on a warm day than with a blended (or sometimes just iced) coffee drink? All of this does come into conflict with my education, however. While the above are cold, they are not the best way to stay cool when the summer heat stays for a spell and this is why:1. Fat - Many blended coffee drinks are made with milk or yogurt or ice cream. Your body temperature will rise when digesting fat (or protein) and this process also uses a lot of your body’s water which could leave you dehydrated. That can be dangerous when it gets really hot.2. Sugar - These drinks can be pretty sweet which will cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels. Your poor little pancreas will have to crank out insulin to deal with it and either feed the sugar to cells to make energy, which raises body temp and uses water for digestion, or it will just store the sugar in fat cells (unhealthy weight gain).3. Caffeine - A stimulant. It will act as a diuretic, ridding your body of much needed valuable water (dehydration again!). It will cause your body temperature to increase as it is thermogenic. Thermogenisis has been marketed as a positive thing for weight loss, but much of that weight can be water rather than fat, again because of the stimulant/diuretic effect (which can also lead to increased heart rate/blood pressure). That’s quite the hat trick of bad news there. The upshot of all this is as a method of staying cool in extreme heat, blended coffee drinks are better poured down your shirt rather than your throat. Cold water will hydrate you without any stimulant or diuretic effect. Drinking enough water prevents water retention as well (speak to your doctor if you have kidney issues). Not to mention we avoid the absorption of fat and sugar stored as fat. To that end you’ll probably still see me ordering a blended coffee drink during the warm months as a treat, but not a means of staying hydrated. If dehydration is an issue or risk, I also recommend using a product like Hydralyte with your water to keep your electrolytes at a healthy level without taking in a lot of sugar. Many sports drinks contain electrolytes but also a not-so-healthy dose of sugar. Talk to your doctor or a member of the Live Well team at Pharmasave about how you can beat the heat and stay hydrated. ~ Dan Cassidy, Nutritional Product Advisor

Firing Your ClientSometimes in a Lawyer's career he or she is faced with the rare decision to � re a client. Yes, you read that right, not the client changing counsel but the Lawyer � ring a client. In a recent situation on the Prairies, 37 Regina lawyers refused to act for a person because his reputation as a very bad client had preceded him. In that case the person had numerous Lawyers in the past and had gain a reputation as being completely uncontrollable.There are many reasons why a Lawyer may consider this drastic step. Normally, it involves lack of payment of the Lawyer's bill. Lawyer's, just like everyone else have the right to be paid for their services and can refuse to act when they are not paid on a timely basis. Occasionally though the reason for refusing to act stems directly from the client's attitude or conduct. The Law Society of B.C. has set up rules on how Lawyers disengage themselves from clients when involved in litigation. Timing is very important and preventative measures are in place to ensure that no party is unduly prejudiced by the withdrawal.

Grade 5 graduationParents of Grade 5 students at Trout Creek Elementary School organized a graduation ceremony at Peach Orchard Beach on June 24. The ceremony, which included certificates, a balloon release and refreshments, was organized to end the students’ elementary school experience on a positive note.

Continued from Page 1Dufty, 14, has been

a track and field ath-lete since she was nine years old.

She said she enjoys the field events in which she competes because of the tech-nical skill involved.

“They’re very dif-ficult to learn,” she said.

“I like the chal-lenge.”

Haley Berrisford, a triathlete, will com-pete in aquathon, duathlon and triath-

lon at the games.Aquathon involves

a 300-metre swim fol-lowed by a one-kilo-metre run.

Duathlon has a one-kilometre run, a three-kilometre bicycle ride and another one-kilo-metre run.

Triathlon has a 400-metre swim, a 10-kilo-metre bike ride and a three-kilometre run.

Berrisford, 14, has done triathlons since she was five years old.

“I’ve always enjoyed it,” she said. “I love racing and competing in any sport.”

She added that the B.C. Games will have a high level of competition in all her events.

Of the components which make up her events, she said her strongest skill is in swimming and her weakest is in run-ning.

As a result, she anticipates the duath-

lon will be her big-gest challenge.

Myah Nack-oney will compete in swimming at the games.

She has done well in fly and freestyle, and she expects to compete in a few relays as well.

She has ben involved in swim-ming for the past eight years.

Earlier, her older sister Payton also competed in swim-ming at the B.C.

Games.In addition to the

three Summerland athletes, Blair Dufty of Summerland will be one of three coach-es on the team.

More than 3,200 participants from around B.C. have registered for the games. This number includes 2,500 ath-letes, more than 500 coaches and 200 offi-cials.

The athletes will compete in 19 sports.

The B.C. Games

have been held since 1978. This will be the

29th B.C. Summer Games.

Top B.C. athletes to compete at games

VICTORIA – The Supreme Court of Canada’s landmark decision on aboriginal title held by the Tsilhqot’in Nation leaves many questions to be answered.

Perhaps the biggest is this: Will British Columbia exist as we know it today by the end of this century? Or will it devolve into dozens of semi-autono-mous regions, through treat-ies or similar court actions, as the only Canadian province that never completed historic treaties?

The Tsilhqot’in decision appears to uphold the key finding of the 2007 trial, that 1,700 square kilometres of the Nemiah Valley west of Williams Lake are essentially owned by the people who occupied it hundreds if not thousands of years ago.

It’s not quite ownership. Fed-eral and provincial jurisdiction still applies, and their authority varies with the strength of the aboriginal title claim.

Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin ruled that the prov-ince overstepped its authority by issuing logging permits in the valley in 1983.

McLachlin noted that law-yers for B.C. first argued that the logging was to control mountain pine beetle, then dropped that argument in its first appeal.

She also upheld the deci-

sion of the trial judge, one-time NDP leadership contender David Vickers, who rejected B.C.’s position that the eco-nomic value of the timber to the province overrode the then-vaguely defined aborig-inal title.

Here’s McLachlin’s defin-ition:

“The nature of aboriginal title is that it confers on the group that holds it the exclu-sive right to decide how land is used and the right to benefit from those uses, subject to the restriction that the uses must be consistent with the group nature of the interest and the enjoyment of the land by future generations.”

That’s not land ownership in the fee-simple sense of the term. It locks in communal ownership, which I and many others have argued is at the root of the poverty seen in many aboriginal commun-ities.

Another big question: Is there any future for B.C.’s 20-year-old treaty process, or will this precedent-setting case send more First Nations to court, or to the barricades as the Tsilhqot’in did on a logging road in 1983?

One of the unique advan-tages that have emerged from the handful of modern treaties in B.C. is that aboriginal com-munities have more options in land ownership.

By voluntary agreement, they can convert land to fee-simple ownership, making it available for mortgage or sale. Modern treaty holders also

get out from under the federal Indian Act, which remains in force despite this latest deci-sion.

One of the big questions asked in the days after the Tsilhqot’in decision was this: Is the Northern Gateway pipeline project dead?

None of the aboriginal com-munities along the pipeline route has this kind of declared aboriginal title.

Few if any would have a similar strength of claim as the Tsilhqot’in, who fought a small war to defend their territory from a wave of gold seekers in the 1860s.

One that does is the Haida Nation, whose occupation of a beautiful group of islands was long defended militarily, and never challenged by any other aboriginal group.

Among others, the Haida Nation was represented in the Tsilhqot’in case as interveners. Council of the Haida Nation president Peter Lantin said after the decision that his team is preparing its own aboriginal title case for trial.

Few doubt that this assertion of title will be successful, either by negotiation or court ruling. But there is a unique aspect to the Haida claim that would set another precedent.

They claim title to the ocean around Haida Gwaii, a chal-lenge to anyone wishing to sail tankers through.

As highway traffic increases during the sum-mer months and espe-cially on long w e e k e n d s , it becomes more import-ant to drive carefully to avoid accidents.

Despite repeated warnings and safety messages, police and rescue workers are still called to too many accidents resulting from distracted or impaired driving.

A moment of carelessness while driving can have tragic con-sequences.

bad apples

On Friday, 123 Summer-land Secondary School students received their high school dip-lomas.

Over the years, many have excelled in academ-ics, sports, the arts and other areas.

The dedication which has brought them through high school will serve them well as they pur-sue various goals in the years to come.

ourpickAthletic

achievementLater this month, three

Summerland athletes will compete at the B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo, facing some of the best young ath-letes from around the prov-ince.

For each of these athletes, qualifying for the competi-tions has been the result of years of dedication to their sport.

The efforts made by Hunter Dufty, Haley Berrisford and Myah Nackoney are impres-sive.

Those who qualify for the games are among the top in British Columbia in their vari-ous sports.

The three are not the only Summerlanders to show a level of commitment and dedication to sport and fit-ness.

In recent years, two Summerland athletes have competed at the Olympic level.

Many more of all ages have qualified for provincial level competitions in a variety of sports over the past year, whether in youth sports or at the B.C. Senior Games.

Stories of athletic achieve-ments from Summerlanders continue to appear, despite ongoing national and inter-national warnings about life-style-related health issues including obesity and the chronic effects of an inactive lifestyle.

The commitment to health and fitness shown by these three athletes and others will help them avoid lifestyle-relat-ed health problems in the future.

While the B.C. Summer Games are an amazing oppor-tunity for Summerland’s top young athletes, the games also demonstrate the value of an ongoing commitment to health and fitness.

These stories of outstand-ing athletic achievement and others should serve as an inspiration for all and should encourage others to develop and maintain a healthy, active lifestyle.

THE EARLY YEARS

Fresh from the treeYou won’t often see fruit pickers in Summerland orchards wearing long skirts and carrying tin buckets, but in 1910 when a lady needed apples, she usually went to the source. Mr. Dale’s surplus apples likely became much appreciated pies in several homes. If you have more fruit on your trees than you can use or want to deal with, don’t let it go to waste. The Summerland Fruit Tree Project connects volunteer pickers with tree owners and gets the fruit to organizations in the community who need fresh produce. If you’d like to help pick, rest assured—vintage costumes are not required. To register your tree or to volunteer please call 250-494-9722.

Dear Editor:The proposed

Northern Gateway pipeline is going to go in, according to the federal govern-ment.

I have to ask our government: Can we drink oil? What about our right to vote?

It seems every time the government real-ly wants something we don’t get to have a voice.

B.C. has some of the last pristine, nat-ural areas left in the world.

The west coast

of B.C. is unique on earth.

Every year thou-sands of people come here to observe the impressive natural beauty of our amaz-ing province.

They say the pipe-line will be safe. Right! So therefore no tanker is unsinkable and no pipeline is unbreakable, dream on.

We all know the disastrous effects would be irrepar-able.

The unique fea-tures of the north-

west coastline would make an oil spill cleanup extremely difficult.

The profit we will gain from this pro-ject is short term and small in compari-son to the long-term effect of the damage to our environment and the precious nat-ural resources that will be wiped out in the process.

We as a country should invest heavily in renewable energy resources to protect the environment and the resources we

have left.This can also create

jobs and stability to our economy not just a pipeline.

I really hope we can find a way to break free from our addiction to oil, and I use it too, just like you.

The Northern Gateway Pipeline is not going to make up

for the damage it will cause, just putting it in alone is going to destroy beautiful natural areas that are irreplaceable and that is before an oil spill.

There has to be another way! I really hope the government will reconsider.

Last week the Summerland Trans Canada Trail Society held its Annual Gen-eral Meeting.

President Henry Sielmann listed a number of achieve-ments.

A new website, summerlandtrails.ca was set up along with

a new Facebook page. Two historical

signs were installed along the KVR Trail in Mount Conkle Park with a third one fol-lowing this summer.

An outhouse was erected near the gaz-ebo with funding from the Commun-ity Foundation of the

South Okanagan. Transportation and

installation of the signs and the outhouse was completed by public works department.

The society partici-pated in the Trail of the Okanagan Project along Highway 97 and developed the course map for the Giant’s

Head Grind race. A successful

membership drive increased the number of Trans Canada Trail members to more than 60, some of whom have been involved in trail maintenance activities from the Summerland Trestle Bridge to Thirsk Lake.

Summerland Review Thursday, July 3, 2014 L I F E S T Y L E www.summerlandreview.com 7

by John Arendt

A science entrepre-neur who grew up in Summerland is work-ing on treatments for Parkinson’s Disease and Huntington’s Disease.

Joost Schulte graduated from Sum-merland Secondary School in 1988 and has since completed a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry and cell biology and a Ph.D. in genetics and neuroscience from the University of Brit-ish Columbia.

He was a staff scientist at EnVivo Pharmaceuticals in Watertown, Mas-sachusetts for two years, where he was the lead inventor on one of the company’s first patents.

He and Kathar-ine Sepp co-founded Oxalys Pharmaceut-icals, based on dis-coveries they made at Massachusetts Insti-tute of Technology.

Their work today is on treatments for neurodegenerative

disorders such as Huntington’s disease and Parkinson’s dis-ease.

Their experimental therapeutic for Hun-tington’s disease was discovered because of its capacity to stimu-late brain cell growth, and survival. In treat-ing Huntington’s dis-ease, this drug could potentially delay dis-ease onset as well as treating symptoms.

“This works in animal models,” he said. “Now we have to show it functions the same way in patients.”

He added that the drug is not a cure for the disease. “The patients will still carry the Hunting-ton’s mutation.”

A Parkinson’s dis-ease treatment in development may also delay disease onset, although more research is still need-ed.

This drug elimin-ates toxic proteins that cause the dis-ease. “Preliminary

studies are incredibly exciting as they show great promise,” he said.

Since Oxalys Phar-maceuticals works with repurposing existing drugs, the development is much faster than if the drugs are developed from the beginning.

Immediate next steps for Oxalys are to complete a Phase I clinical trial for their Huntington’s thera-peutic.

Schulte said it will be the first drug they are bringing to the market and in a best-case scenario it could be on the market in five years although timelines are difficult to predict with cer-tainty.

In addition to the pharmaceutical research, Schulte said part of his work is in raising the necessary funds for the work.

The company has used govern-ment research and development grants and private invest-

ment money to con-duct their product development.

Recently, Oxalys won grants from the Michael J. Fox

Foundation and the National Research Council of Canada,

as well as an award from the Ontario Brain Institute.

Continued from Page 1He added that the

proposed trail is an exciting project.

Coun. Bruce Hall-quist had concerns because of earlier comments made by some members of council.

He said that in the past, some of the members of the present council had stated that the trail would be con-

structed without tax-payer money.

“We made these statements at this table,” he said.

Hallquist added that the proposal came to council quickly, for a project which does not have urgency.

“In my mind, it isn’t that important to the whole com-munity,” he said.

Mayor Janice Per-

rino said the partner-ship with the prov-ince can make the trail proposal a real-ity.

“This is about being leaders,” she said. “The money is there. It’s designated for trails. If this is what it takes to be leaders in the field, let’s do it.”

The resolution was approved unani-mously.

The proposed trail would be suitable for pedestrians and cyc-lists.

Organizers have said a valley-wide trail could serve as a tourism draw for Summerland and other Okanagan com-munity.

At present, there has been interest in the trail from numer-ous communities in the Okanagan.

Concerns raised about funding

Graduating stu-dents from Sum-merland Secondary School marked the end of their public school education at the school leaving exercises on June 27.

“You have been a fantastic grad class,” Chris Van Bergeyk, principal of the high school, told the 123 students.

Jane Stead spoke to the students at the ceremonies.

She urged them to find their passion in life, take risks and be resilient.

“You’re off on brand new adven-tures and it can be incredibly over-whelming,” she said.”This is it — the end of childhood and the start of a new life.”

Va l e d i c t o r i a n s Nicole Fofonoff and Mitch Murphy thanked parents, teachers and the com-munity for their sup-port as they reflected on their time at

school.“They say that it

takes a village to raise a child. We believe this statement to be true,” Fofonoff said.

“This is a time for

new beginnings for all of us,” Murphy added.

Students also received bursaries and awards from the community, as well

as awards for aca-demic achievement.

A total of 58 bur-saries and awards, with a value of near-ly $93,000, were pre-sented to the gradu-

ates from various community organiza-tions.

“It is truly a remarkable amount,” Van Bergeyk said of the bursaries.


A total of 123 Grade 12 students from Summerland Secondary School received their high school diplomas on Friday afternoon.

Summerland Secondary School principal Chris Van Bergeyk presents Corwin Shanner with his diploma.

SCOREBOARD

It will be an even-ing of fast-paced action as roller derby comes to the Sum-merland Arena on Saturday evening.

The South Oka-nagan Roller Derby Association team, the Penticton Pistol-eras, will face a Van-couver team on July 5 beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Vicki Scott, who uses the name Upsy Crazy when compet-ing, is the only Sum-merland player on the team.

She explained that roller derby involves two teams with five skaters at a time on the course.

One player on each team, the jammer, scores points by lap-ping members of the opposing team.

The rest of the team members assist their jammer while also hindering the

opposing jammer.Each team’s jam-

mer can be identified by stars on her hel-

met.Scott said roller

derby is a full-con-tact sport which also

requires a lot of plan-ning.

“It’s a little bit rough and tumble,”

she said. “It’s a fast-paced game with a lot of strategy.”

The sport also

requires a lot of speed and endurance from the players.

The roller derby season runs from May to July, when the ice is out of area arenas, but Scott said training con-tinues throughout the year.

Among women, roller derby is the fastest growing sport in North America.

She said there are around 100 leagues

in Canada, with 50 in British Columbia alone.

The South Oka-nagan team has faced teams from Kelowna, Kamloops, Revel-stoke, Vancouver and Whistler.

She said the sport is growing in part because of the action it provides and in part because of its culture, including the derby names and alter egos for the players.

Summerland hosts roller derby

Roller derbyThe Penticton Pistoleras will face a Vancouver team in roller derby action on July 5. The Penticton team features members from around the South Okanagan, including one from Summerland.

William John McCuaigOur dear Billie died Friday, June 20th, 2014 at home, at the age of 64, predeceased by his loving parents Ian and Marion McCuaig. This comes as a sudden and sad shock for those of us who knew Bill as a vibrant, gentle and wholehearted person. Bill was born and raised in Summerland, BC along with his sisters Mary, Nancy and Margaret. He worked in the orchards, hiked in the hills, swam in the creeks, graduated from Summerland Secondary School and went on to study forestry. His deep and abiding love of trees and the land led him to complete his Masters in Forestry at UBC. In his eighteen years with the District of West Vancouver as Community Forester, Bill was most happy outside: in the old growth, in our parks, cleaning up logs with a backhoe on West Vancouver beaches or advising residents on urban bear issues. One of the other communities he touched was the Squamish Nation in North Vancouver. He co-founded and built a traditional medicinal garden there with community elders and youth. Whatever the subject – human rights, medicinal plants, forests, trees, wildlife, or hydrology - Bill touched people with his integrity, infectious passion, his wit, and his ability to craft a good story. We will miss you, Bill, for your depth of insight, vast knowledge, sense of humour, huge compassion, and caring heart. You will be lovingly remembered by family, colleagues, and many, many friends who hold you dear in their hearts.

A celebration of Bill’s life was held July 2, 2014.

DESMOND MICHAEL LOAN1928 - 2014

Long time Peachland and Summerland resident, Des Loan passed away peacefully June 19, 2014. He arrived in the valley in 1955 with his wife Peggy and raised a family of five children. Des embarked on a path that would include high school teacher, pottery, photography, painting, poetry, music, orchardist and town councillor.

Keen to contribute to the cultural life of the valley he established the Okanagan Pottery Studio in Peachland which operated from 1968 through to 2007. Having a deep respect for the natural beauty of the Okanagan, he was an active member of “Friends of Okanagan Mountain Park”. In this capacity he was not only instrumental in bringing Rattlesnake Island into the greater park system, but also contributed to restoring the island to its’ original natural condition.

Des was predeceased by his wife Peggy (2007), son Geoffrey (2004) and daughter Cathy (1954). He is lovingly remembered by Christopher Loan (Vicky), Julia Ehlers (Greg), Daphne Flanagan (Peter), Alison Dudziak (Jacek). He loved and cherished his grandchildren Chloaye, Alana, Tatomme, Emilia, Conrad and Mary.

Many thanks to the staff of Summerland Seniors Village for their exceptional care.

Agnes, (Bobby) M. MacKayNovember 14, 1917 - June 15, 2014

Born in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, second youngest of five girls born to William and Caroline Agar. Educated in a one room schoolhouse in Lilac, Saskatchewan. Graduated at 17 and went on to obtain a Nursing degree from Royal Alexandra Hos-pital in Edmonton, whereafter she was offered a scholarship with the VON. Bobby moved to the Kootenays to nurse in Nelson BC and married Glen in 1948. They built a lovely home together in Bonnington Falls where they lived for 39 years. In 1997 Bobby moved to Summerland to be near family. Bobby and sister Florence travelled to China, Hawaii, Alaska, Mexico, Greece and Turkey. Bobby loved the outdoors - hiking, camp-ing and fishing. She always lent a hand to others. She was a great cook and baked delicious bread, buns and a family favourite, cherry tarts. She took pride in being well informed although she was frustrated with her IPad at times. She loved playing cards and board games with family. Up to the end Bobby did Tai Chi and enjoyed a daily walk by the lake. Predeceased by husband Glen and sisters, Nora, Lena and Mabel. Greatly loved and missed by sister Florence McLachlan and family.
