Smoke bylaw plannedProposal would ban smoking on municipal property

John Arendt

Municipal staff will research and develop a bylaw which would ban smoking on all muni-cipal property.

Coun. Erin Train-er, who proposed the bylaw, said the risk of a wildfire this summer prompted her to call for the bylaw.

“It concerns me because of the hot, dry weather we’ve been having,” she said.

She added that the bylaw would also

help to reduce t h e number of ciga-r e t t e b u t t s littering beaches a n d parks in

the community.Members of the

public have also com-

plained about the number of discarded cigarette butts they have noticed.

Trainer believes a no smoking bylaw is needed in Summer-land.

“It really sends a message about our values in this town,” she said.

Linda Tynan, Summerland’s chief

administrative offi-cer, said signs are in place prohibiting smoking in parks, but there is no bylaw in place to enforce a no smoking policy.

“Enforcement is difficult in the out-doors,” she added.

In a report to coun-cil, Tynan said the time required for staff to research and

prepare a no smoking bylaw would be min-imal, since there are already good “best practices” no smok-ing bylaws in other municipalities.

A resolution to dir-ect staff to develop the no smoking bylaw received unanimous council support on Monday evening.

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

Cyclists, walkers and joggers in Sum-

merland will have a safe place to enjoy their favourite activ-ities when a 1.3-kilo-metre paved path-way is completed

next month.A contract valued

at $730,000 has been awarded to BD Hall Constructors Corp. of Surrey for construc-

tion of a two-metre-wide pathway adja-cent to Highway 97 between Lakeshore Road and Thornber Street.

The project is part of B.C. on the Move, the government’s new 10-year plan for the improvement of the province’s trans-portation network.

“This project will provide a safe con-nection for pedes-trians and cyclists from Trout Creek to downtown Sum-merland,” Penticton MLA Dan Ashton said. “Expanding and improving infrastruc-ture for all modes of

transportation – and making them safer – is an important part of our government’s mandate.”

Work commenced July 6 and is expected to be completed in early August.

The installation of a guardrail will increase safety for all road users by separat-ing the pathway from the roadway and reducing the potential for vehicles to leave the highway. The pro-

ject is a partnership between the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and the District of Summer-land, which contrib-uted $80,000.

Over the next three years, the Ministry will invest about $2.5 billion to improve British Columbia’s transportation net-work.

Summerland resi-dents in the Gar-nett Valley Road area got a double boost Friday when Mayor Peter Water-man announced long awaited improve-ments to water sup-ply infrastructure.

Summerland has entered a partner-ship with the prov-ince and the federal government to twin the water lines in Jones Flat and Gar-nett Valley, a project that has been talked about and planned for many years.

The twinning will increase access to safe drinking water, and increase the supply for agricultural use. But it also means improvements to Garnett Valley Road as the new infrastruc-ture is installed, start-ing later this year, according to Water-man.

“We have to dig the road up to do the water separation pro-ject,” said Waterman. “As we redo these water lines, we will be redoing the sur-face of the road.”

But the prime focus of the project, estimated to cost $6.79 million – split between all three lev-

els of government – is improving the water supply. In order to provide quality water for this area, a new nine-kilometre dedi-cated domestic line will be installed and, in the northern reach-es, pumped through a booster station.

“A safe secure and reliable water sup-

ply is a high prior-ity for the district of Summerland,” said Waterman, who thanked MLA Dan Ashton and MP Dan Albas for their sup-port. “We are very pleased with the commitment of the federal and provin-cial governments.”

The project will

supply high quality water from the water treatment plant to the Garnett Valley domestic users, who have one or two boil water advisories each year, according to Waterman.

“It will also assist community health by eliminating the need for boil water advis-

ories,” said Water-man. “It will encour-age economic growth, particularly in the agricultural sector, as it will reduce pres-sure to introduce water restrictions.

“It is going to be a win-win all round. The Garnett Valley domestic users and our agricultural users have waited quite a while for this. Every-body is going to be very happy with it.”

Funding for the project comes through the Small Communities Fund, with the province and the federal govern-ments each providing up to $2,263,333. The District of Summer-land will be respon-sible for all remaining costs.

“We are proud to invest in projects like this new water line in Summerland that will benefit our com-munity by improving much needed local infrastructure,” said Albas.

Waterman also praised the work of his fellow coun-cillors, both current and past, for the work done in meet-ings with the pre-mier and provincial ministers to convince them of the need for

this project.“Our partnership

with the federal gov-ernment is providing funding for Sum-merland’s twinning of the Jones Flat and

the Garnett Valley water systems,” said Ashton, noting that improving the water supply infrastructure was critical for area residents.

Water infrastructure upgrade announced

Water upgradeMayor Peter Waterman explains the work needed for water improvements in the Garnett Valley area. The project has been discussed and planned for many years. It was announced on Friday.

Electricity out for most of community last Wednesday

Steve Kidd

A day-long power outage last Wed-nesday not only left homes without power across two-thirds of the community but caused the majority of businesses to close their doors for the day as well.

“An 8.5 hour shut-down is significant. That’s a lot of dol-lars out of people’s pockets,” said Mayor Peter Waterman, add-ing that this was one of those unfortunate incidents, where there is not a lot the city staff can do.

“Fortis is a great partner, they got in there as quickly as they could,” said Waterman.

Power was lost at about 5:30 a.m. on July 8 to almost all of the District, except

Trout Creek. The transformer caus-ing all the trouble was repaired by For-tisBC crews around 2 p.m. and power was phased back in slowly to avoid put-ting a heavy load on the equipment all at once.

Colin Powell, owner of the Market-place IGA, said their power was back on by 3 p.m., allowing them to get set up and reopened in time for the after work rush of commuters coming home.

“We were pretty much ready for busi-ness by 4 p.m.,” said Powell, adding that he and his staff had many people thank them for getting the

store back up and running.

Powell said he didn’t lose too much stock during the out-age, thanks to his staff. As soon as the power was cut, they began moving per-ishables — including all their meat, dairy

and deli d e p a r t -ments — into the s t o r e ’ s l a r g e r w a l k - i n c o o l -ers and

freezers, which have a generator back up.

“It’s a big job, having to pull 48 feet of dairy, includ-ing cheese, yogurts, juices, eggs and milk. It’s quite a task, and then the power is restored at 3 p.m. and we have the job of putting it back on the shelves,” said Pow-ell. “It’s definitely a labour intensive dis-ruption of your busi-ness.”

True Grain Bread was one of the few businesses to keep their doors open. Assistant manager Sophia Jackson said that was because the baker starts work at 3 a.m. and by the time the power was cut at 5:30 p.m. already had a portion of the day’s fresh baking done.

Still, it was a cash only day in the shop.

“We sold what we had, and people were really kind,” said Jackson. “It set us back a day because all the sourdoughs had to be restarted,

but we are back up to full production now.”

Jackson said her customers also expressed their thanks to find the bakery open.

“People rolled with the punches. Our cus-tomers were fantastic about everything,” she said.

Speaking last Fri-day, Waterman said he and chief admin-istrative officer Linda Tynan were waiting to have a debrief with FortisBC, to find out exactly what the issue was causing the problem with the transformer.

Outage affected homes, businesses

“An 8.5 hour shutdown is significant. That’s a lot of dollars out of people’s pockets.

VICTORIA – The B.C. legislature is back in session this week, a rare summer sitting to approve a 25-year project agree-ment for the first large-scale liquefied natural gas project in northern B.C.

Finance Minis-ter Mike de Jong released the lengthy legal agreement prior to the debate, say-ing this step should remove any doubt that an international investment group led by Petronas of Malaysia intends to go ahead.

With billions invested in upstream resources and buy-ers waiting at home, the Pacific Northwest LNG group includes Chinese state corpor-ation Sinopec, Indian Oil Corp., Japan Pet-roleum Exploration Corp. and Petroleum Brunei.

The most conten-tious issue is the government’s inten-tion to protect the investors from “dis-criminatory” tax and regulations for the life of the project. The government insists

these sorts of long-term cost certainty agreements are com-monplace, and don’t affect provincial and federal taxes or environmental regu-lations unless they single out LNG oper-ations.

Future govern-ments can raise cor-porate tax rates, car-bon tax or enter into a cap and trade system. Ottawa can scrap capital cost allowan-ces that were recent-ly extended to LNG producers, which is significant because Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has indicat-ed he would get rid of what he calls sub-sidies to fossil fuels.

Both the province

and Ottawa allow capital cost write-offs against corporate tax, to attract investment. B.C. attracted a lot of gas drilling rigs from Alberta with tax breaks for deep drill-ing.

The B.C. govern-ment invited com-parisons with West-ern Australia LNG producers, and NDP researchers did just that. They noted that Australia’s Gorgon and North West Shelf LNG projects have written provisions that local employ-ment and local sup-pliers will get prefer-ence.

Those are absent in B.C., along with apprenticeship guar-antees for LNG.

“There was hard bargaining by the companies, and cer-tainly the premier went into this nego-tiation in a very weak position, hav-ing to deliver on her extravagant and grandiose promises from the election,” NDP critic Bruce Ralston said. “The companies did well. Whether the citizens

of British Columbia did well is certainly an open question.”

Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver painted himself into a corner, having spent the last two years dis-missing the B.C. LNG industry as a fantasy that will never come to pass, strictly on eco-nomic grounds. He has since branded the Petronas deal, a tem-plate for any future projects, a “genera-tional sellout.”

Another big player with gas well invest-ments in northeast B.C. is Shell, with a proposal for Kitimat. Its prospects have improved since it took over British Gas Group, which had its own LNG inten-tions here. Another group led by Altagas remains on track to ship LNG from its Douglas Channel site before the end of the decade.

It’s important to remember that with-out LNG exports, B.C.’s natural gas industry will shrink rapidly after 50 years of increasingly sig-nificant revenues

from sales to the U.S. Leaving aside all the political positioning around the province’s largest private invest-ment to date, if this doesn’t go ahead we will all feel the effects.

De Jong had a blunt response when asked what the prov-ince gets in return for all its guarantees of low tax environment: “Their money.”

At peak construc-tion, Pacific North-west LNG will need as many as 4,500 workers, with 500 or more operations jobs depending on how far it expands.

The finance min-istry forecasts that once Pacific North-west LNG is up and running, it represents $9 billion in revenues to the province over 10 years, including gas royalties and taxes. That’s more than taxpayers can expect from the entire forest industry.

There isn’t much to be said in defence of smoking.

In addition to the increased health risks for the smoker and for those exposed to second-hand smoke, there is also a risk of fires from carelessly discarded cigarettes and the problem of unsightly butts littering parks and beaches.

The fire hazard was one of the fac-tors prompting Coun. Erin Trainer to ask for the development of a bylaw banning smoking on all municipal property.

Such a bylaw would make all Summerland parks and beaches into smoke-free zones.

Some of the province’s worst wildfires have been caused by carelessly dis-carded cigarettes.

This year, with the dry conditions throughout the province, the fire risk alone must be addressed.

Those who want to enjoy time outside at the beach or in local parks would have a smoke-free environment to enjoy their time outside. For those with asthma, breathing-related problems or weakened immune systems, this would be a notice-able benefit.

Smokers, however, would face increased restrictions as a result of a no smoking bylaw.

Cigarettes and other tobacco products are legally sold in Canada, but restrictions have increased in recent decades. Most offices and many businesses are smoke-free, as are eating and drinking establish-ments.

Smoking rates across Canada have been declining and British Columbia has the lowest percentage of smokers in the country. Still, there are more than 600,000 smokers in B.C.

Expanding the list of the places where smoking is banned will serve to aggravate smokers and some may choose to dis-regard a proposed no smoking bylaw.

Enforcing a comprehensive no smok-ing bylaw, especially one which governs outdoor spaces, may prove difficult.

Unless the proposed no smoking bylaw can be enforced, its potential for effectiveness will be diminished.

Music above the water—way aboveWhile our summers are now enhanced by Wednesdays on the Water, in 1967 we had Music on the Mountain. Though obviously not the first Summerland Town Band which was formed in 1904, this was the 1967 version of the band, established to celebrate Canada’s Centennial. This performance took place at the very top of Giant’s Head at the opening of the park and unveiling of the cairn, Summerland’s centennial project. The view may be fantastic from up there, but Peach Orchard Beach is a better venue for enjoyable musical concerts; it’s pleasantly cool by the water and does not require a hike up the mountain. Find out more about the Wednesdays on the Water Free Concert Series at www.summerlandarts.com or by calling 250-494-4494.

Dear Editor:We would like to

thank every person who took the time to come to our meet-ings and sign our

petitions about Gar-nett Valley Road and the twinning of the water system over the years.

We would also like

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

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

Perseverance and never giving up do pay off.

Summerland

Dear Editor:I have been won-

dering why the Reception Centre

was not opened for the citizens of Sum-

merland during the lengthy power out-

age. The citizens of Summerland needed a place to get some-thing to eat, some-thing to drink such as coffee, tea or even a drink of cold water and just a place to enjoy some cool air.

During a similar outage back a num-ber of years, on a bitterly cold day, Mayor Janice Per-rino called me and asked me to open the Reception Cen-tre at the arena, which was done.

Yes, very few took advantage of the venue at that time, but it was available for those who knew about it or were suffering from the cold.

This time, it would have been really great not to have to drive to Penticton in the heat just to get a cup of coffee or something to eat or find a place to enjoy a cooler tem-perature.

Why did our cur-rent mayor not take the initiative to have the local ESS team open up the centre?

Why did our ESS director not get per-mission or take the initiative to get the Reception Centre up and running.

We must remem-ber that there are people living in Summerland that need electricity to operate health related equipment; phones that will work in case of a personal emergency; and also something to eat and drink dur-ing a power outage.

Dear Editor:A month ago, I was

I for one do not want to

see our existing dollar store pushed out of business by a box chain.

Q

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

A There is no age limitation for improving the function and appearance of your teeth! I’m

excited to tell you that there is a new way to move and straighten teeth that is virtually invisible and does not involve metal wires or brackets. So no more “metal mouth” or “train tracks!” Invisalign uses clear aligners that you can re move to eat and brush your teeth.

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

Candidates for a council seat in a Summerland should be able to spend no more than $11,280 to run for mayor and $5,640 for a council or school board seat, says a legislature committee on local election financing.

With a population of 11,280, according to the 2011 census, Summerland is just over the limit defin-ing small commun-ities.

In communities with a population over 10,000, mayoral candidates would be limited to $1 per cap-ita for the first 15,000 people, 55 cents per capita up to 150,000, 60 cents per capita for 150,000 to 200,000 and only 15 cents for communities larger

than that. Councillors are limited to half those amounts.

The formula would limit a can-didate for mayor of Victoria, popula-tion 80,000, to about $50,000, while Sur-rey’s population of 470,000 would mean a cap of $180,000 to run for mayor.

In communities

of up to 10,000 resi-dents, a mayoral can-didate would have a $10,000 campaign spending limit, and councillors would be limited to $5,000.

Looking at the amounts spent in Summerland dur-ing the last muni-cipal election, the new spending lim-its would not have

affected Mayor Peter Waterman’s cam-paign. He was well below the spending limit with a total of $6,043 spent on his campaign.

Likewise, mayor-al contender David Gregory only spent $2,911, and Orv Rob-son, $3,051. Roch For-tin might have had his wings clipped a

little after spending $11,401 on his mayor-al campaign. Mayoral candidate Christo-pher Boisvert-Gilman spent $1,310.74 on his campaign.

None of the Sum-merland council-lor candidate would have exceeded the new spending limits – Bruce Hallquist was the biggest spender

in 2014 at $5,050.Fraser-Nicola MLA

Jackie Tegart, who chaired the commit-tee as it toured the province, said the limits are aimed to make running for local government “accessible and affordable,” while recognizing the vast difference between political campaigns in

large cities and those in small communities.

The spending limits still have to be endorsed by the legislature, but the B.C. Liberal and NDP members of the committee endorsed them unanimously. They are part of a ser-ies of local election reforms that included extending terms to four years.

The committee wants third-party advertisers limited to five per cent of what a mayoral candidate is allowed to spend. The spending limits would be in effect starting on Jan. 1 of each election year.

B.C. is joining Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatch-ewan and Newfound-land and Labrador in placing spending lim-its on at least some of their local elections.

Spending caps urged for local elections

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

Tom FletcherBlack Press

Liberal Leader Jus-tin Trudeau came to the West Coast last week to unveil his party’s environment-al platform for the Oct. 19 federal elec-tion, promising to ban crude oil tank-ers from B.C.’s North Coast an impose an undefined price on carbon emissions

after consulting the provinces.

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

“Central to this will be the creation of national emissions-reduction targets, informed by the best economic and scien-tific analysis,” the party’s 12-page sum-mary says, adding that the Conservative government’s emis-sion reduction targets are “inadequate and meaningless with-out a plan to achieve them.”

Conservative Nat-ural Resources Minis-ter Greg Rickford and Environment Minis-ter Leona Aglukkaq replied with a state-ment warning that the Liberal plan “will increase the costs of everything including gas, groceries, electri-city.”

Rickford and Aglukkaq said Tru-deau’s promise to end fossil fuel sub-sidies would remove

Ottawa’s support for development of liquefied natural gas export facili-ties in B.C. In Feb-ruary, Prime Minis-ter Stephen Harper announced increased capital cost tax cred-its for the LNG indus-try, similar to capital investment incen-tives offered by B.C.

NDP leader Thom-as Mulcair has prom-ised a national cap-and trade plan for carbon emissions, which would impose extra costs based on higher emissions and reward indus-tries that are able to reduce them.

The Liberal plan promises a minimum $200 million annual spending to “sup-port innovation and clean technologies in the forestry, fisheries, mining, energy and agricultural sectors.”

Summerland Review Thursday, July 16, 2015 L i f e s t y L e www.summerlandreview.com 7

The Arts Centre has been filled with many joyful noises this week as our Sum-mer Arts Programs for kids started.

Stories and pup-pets filled the mor-ning with instructor Chrissi Travers in Play and Puppetry.

Students enjoyed acting out their favourite nursery rhymes and fairy tales with their own hand-crafted puppets and there were even a few songs sung too.

It was all glit-ter and glue in the afternoons with Art with Jannine as older students created 3D works using paper mâché and wood as well as making their own African paper bead jewelry.

Lots of fun is still to be had this sum-mer.

Check out our bro-chure online or at the arts centre to find this summer’s classes for student’s ages three

to 18.This week’s Wed-

nesdays on the Water concert will feature two local singer-song-writers/music teach-ers: Aidan Mayes and Mandy Cole. There is something distinctly Okanagan about this pair. A little bit coun-try, a little bit folk, a little bit rock and roll, and a little bit differ-ent from everything else in the world.

From their humble beginnings busking at the Penticton mar-ket, the two quickly realized they had something special, discovering an almost instantaneous and insatiable appetite for their music within the community.

It wasn’t long before their voices were being heard from Osoyoos to Kelowna and all parts in between.

This year was a landmark year for this twosome as they not only stunned a

sold out crowd at the world renowned Dream Café in their hometown Pentic-ton, but also land-ed on festival bills alongside 54-40, City and Colour, Mother Mother, The Current Swell and Yukon Blonde.

While it’s easy to compare this duo to the folk/country har-monies of the Dixie Chicks, Blue Rodeo and Indigo Girls, comparisons such as these do no justice to the unique sounds Aidan and Mandy

achieve through their similar, but different musical stylings.

So bring a lawn chair and a picnic to Spirit Square, Peach Orchard Beach at 6:30 p.m. and let these ladies keep you cool at the beach on a hot summer night.

The Featured Art-ist at the Art Centre continues this week with Maureen King.

Maureen was born and raised in Sum-merland but she is relatively new to the art community.

Since retiring from teaching in 2011, she has enjoyed explor-ing the world of art, with a special empha-sis on acrylic paint-

ing. Most recently, she

has been exploring abstract art and finds this a refreshing chal-lenge.

Maureen and many other local art-ists, will be taking part in the Art Walk from Aug. 1 to 31. She is also an active member of the Sum-merland Art Club, currently sitting in the president’s chair.

She highly recom-mends this club to anyone interested in pursuing their talent. Stop by the Art Cen-tre July 15 to 18 to meet Maureen.

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

Summerland Review Thursday, July 16, 2015 L i f e s t y L e www.summerlandreview.com 9

Each year, public libraries across the province offer a Sum-mer Reading Club to children between the ages of five and 12.

It is largely spon-sored by the British Columbia Library Association and gen-erous Friends of the Library groups.

There is a differ-ent theme every year, with reading logs and bookmarks designed by artists.

This year the Sum-merland branch of the

Okanagan Regional Library is pleased to be offering “Build It!” as our summer reading club. A very appropriate theme which ties in nicely with the construction of the new library on Main Street.

Kids who join the club are given their very own bookmark, pencil and reading log. These logs are designed to encour-age children to record their reading over the entire summer. A

daily goal is set, which can be anything from a chapter of a book a day, to reading 15 minutes a day.

Children can then pop back into the library every week to collect stickers and stamps. If the entire reading log is filled by the end of summer, a medal is rewarded for this achievement.

Apart from keep-ing track of their read-ing over the summer, the library also offers

special programs for club members that are book based, action packed and fun! We also hold Thursday morning kids’ book club where they listen to stories and build with Keva blocks.

The idea is to inspire your child to keep reading over the summer and prevent the “summer slide.”

Many children, especially those that struggle to read, need encouragement to keep their read-

ing skills up over the school break.

Studies have shown that simply reading four to six books over the summer will help maintain their read-ing level.

Reading more than ten books actually helps improve their reading level. If the old adage “practice makes perfect” is to hold true, then com-ing to the library and checking out books is one way to prevent the summer slide.

In my opinion, summer reading should be entertain-ing and light, a little break from some-thing that feels too much like school.

Speaking of school, another refreshing sight that we see at the library are teach-ers! Yes, they finally have a chance to read for pleasure as well. When kids come in and see their teach-ers at the checkout counter with a big stack of books, their eyes grow wide. It’s always fun to wit-ness that interaction and it brings home the point that reading is important over the

summer, too. If kids are encour-

aged to keep reading, it doesn’t really mat-ter what they choose. They just need to read, read, read, and we can help with that.

If your child would like some assistance in choosing a book, come visit us and pick up one of our great summer book-lists that we have cre-ated, or ask the staff for some personal reader’s advisory.

A few titles that have been extreme-ly popular from the booklists are “Lego Superheroes: Batman Visual Dictionary” by Daniel Lipkowitz, “Spy Camp” by Stuart Gibbs and the “Mine-craft” handbook series by Stephanie Milton.

Registration for the Summer Reading Club is available all summer long. The benefits are proven and it’s never too late to start.

Carla McLeodSpecial to the

Review

The provincial government has pro-claimed July 11 and the month of July, as Collector Car Appre-ciation Day and Month.

The proclama-tion recognizes the important economic and social role that the vintage and col-lector car clubs play, throughout the prov-ince.

Not only do their car shows generate significant dollars in the communities where they are held, but also the profits from these shows are donated to local char-ities.

The Apple Valley Cruisers are one such club.

The group consists of approximately 60 members from Sum-merland, Penticton, Okanagan Falls, Peachland and West Kelowna.

They meet once a month at one of sev-eral restaurants in Summerland.

As well, every Thursday night throughout the sum-mer they have a Cruise In at the local Dairy Queen.

“Every Thursday, if you drive by between 5:30 and 8 p.m., you’ll see a bunch of hot rods out there,” said club president Jacques Lefebvre.

“It’s just to hang out and have ice cream and burgers and tell stories.”

It was long time president, Gary Jan-zen and his wife

Carol who worked hard over the years to establish the club and the Endless Sum-mer Car Show.

The show will be held again this year on Sept. 12.

“It’s a one-day car show and all the money we make goes to charities in the Summerland area,” said Lefebvre.

There is a regis-tration fee to enter a car in the show and 50/50 tickets are also sold to raise money. There is no admission fee for the public.

In his role as chair, Bob Kelly is in charge of getting the neces-

sary permits from the city to hold the car show, but he is also given the task of find-ing sponsorship.

Kelly said last year they had 18 class awards, such as Best Hot Rod, all sponsored by local businesses. They also gave out more than 40 door prizes from locally donated items.

“Last year our club raised $3,000 that went to charity,” said Kelly. “We gave $500 just recently to a bursary for an automotive mechanic student, at the high school, to continue

the trade.”The charitable

organizations that

received money last year from the Apple Valley Cruisers Car Club were the Har-old Simpson Youth

Centre, Summerland Girl Guides, Toys and Toonies for Tots and

T e e n s , G i a n t ’ s H e a d Breakfast Program, S u m -merland D a r e Program, S A D I and the S u m -merland F o o d Bank.

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

land Art Council. This was done in memory of Joe Sardina, who was a member of the car club.

The Endless Sum-mer Car Show draws car collectors from far and wide.

“Last year we had several high end cars, one trailered in from Alberta,” said Kelly.

He also explained that “there are a few people who live here that are building cars…and they buy at local suppliers when they can.”

Kelly has been into cars since he was 12 years old, when he helped his father

work on his cars.“It’s kind of a per-

sonal identity; a car,” he said.

“The car club is a social thing for me and fortunately because of my back-ground I could help with some of the organizing.”

Lefebvre has simi-lar reasons for being involved with the club.

“I’ve always, always loved cars,” he said. “I love get-ting together and meeting other people and seeing what they’ve done with their vehicles. They all have four wheels and a steering wheel but everything from bumper to bumper is different inside.”

The Apple Valley Cruiser Car Club is open to all types of cars with no restric-tions. There is a year-ly family member-ship fee of $20.

People can choose their level of involve-ment with the club, with some members choosing to help out with other car shows such as the Peach City Beach Cruise.

“We’re just a happy bunch of guys and girls that meet every Thursday at Dairy Queen and once a month in a restau-rant,” said Lefebvre. “All we talk about is car stuff.”

If you know a positive story about someone in our com-munity, contact Carla McLeod at [email protected] or con-tact the Summerland Review newsroom at 250-494-5406.

Organizations receive gaming grantsThe Summer-

land Figure Skating Club and the Spe-cial Olympics B.C. Society — Summer-land are among five organizations in the region to receive funding from the province’s commun-

ity gaming grants program.

The Summerland Figure Skating Club received $14,000

while the Special Olympics B.C. Soci-ety — Summerland received $3,000.

Ukulele musicLinnea Good savours the cool-er temperatures at this week’s Sunday Market to play uku-lele next to her camp’s display table. The Summerland Music Camp runs next Monday to Friday.

Linnea Good is putting up banners and setting up her keyboard in the Summerland United lower hall. Nearby, Yanti Rowland tunes up 40 ukuleles, Marian Rudisill is spreading craft supplies on tables, and Jake Evans is siz-ing up the floor space for hip hop moves. It is set-up time for an event that promises to be an action-packed week of music for kids six to 12.

“It’s totally new! The Sum-merland Music Camp is a dream come true,” says Lin-nea. “Parents want to give their kids the best shot at learning skills that will help them for life and also help them have a really good time in the summer. I happen to believe that music does that for kids who are so-called ‘musical’ and for kids that are supposedly into other things.”

The inspiration for this camp comes in part from a movement called “El Sistema,” now-worldwide, which believes in building

healthy communities through musical instruction in groups.

Good believes that music can be the key to kids hav-ing coping skills in middle and high school: “Leaders in this ground-up music move-ment say, ‘Music cannot fix real problems like hunger and health issues. However, it does help educate children so fewer of them are victims of them.’ To me, this means that children become more self-confident.”

The camp runs during the mornings of July 20 to 24 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

“We are practically booked up,” says Rowland, “but there is room for a few more chil-dren. There are bursaries for families that could use the help, and there are super youth and adult volunteers helping kids make the most of it all.”

Registration is online at linn-eagood.com. The camp is sup-ported by Summerland United Church and with a grant from the Pro-Vision fund of the United Church of Canada.

The Summerland Steam are on the hunt for billet families and volunteers for the 2015-16 season.

Steam co-owner Gregg Wilson said the organization has had great billets in the past as well as strong community support and would love to see that continue.

With the possibil-ity of having more non-locals playing for the Kootenay

International Jun-ior Hockey League squad, it will require more families to step up and welcome players into their home. On the volun-teer side, Wilson said they have a base of 30, but need 50 in total. Some of the positions open include security for game days, deal-ing with tickets at the door and selling 50/50 tickets.

“We’re a very community-minded team,” said Wilson. “Yes, we’re privately

owned, but we’re not in it to make a for-tune. We’re just there to survive. We just want our community to have a team.”

Volunteers and bil-let families receive season tickets. Billet families also receive $500 to help with player expenses.

Wilson said the hard part about the Okanagan is that they compete with the Pen-ticton Vees and Oka-nagan Hockey Acad-mey for billet families. For that reason they try to get as many local families as pos-sible.

Wilson said that having John DePourcq as coach helps.

“He’s such a good coach and a good guy. He’s a two-time coach of the year in our league,” said Wil-son.

“Kids want to play here. He’s such a good hockey guy. Such a good person-ality. It makes it easy for people to relate to our team when you have quality people like John.”

Wilson and DePourcq, both for-mer Penticton Knights, are excited about what the Steam could be. It’s the first season that they haven’t had to go out hard to recruit.

“Kids want to come here now. We’re kind of on the map,” said Wilson. “They know we’re a stable organization.”

“We have done better in the play-offs each year,” said DePourcq, who is in his fourth year coach-ing the Steam. “It’s a great spot for kids to come and play.”

Among the play-ers expected to join

the Steam is Pentic-ton’s Michael Mac-Lean as well as Mat-thew Huber, brother of former Steam goalie Brett Huber. The younger Huber is also a goalie. Mat-thew Monk, younger brother of former BCHLer Josh Monk, will also play.

With 12 rookies on the squad last year, the Steam could poten-tially have 80 per cent returnees, depending on how many make Junior A teams.

The organization is also looking to improve its attend-ance. After averaging under 200 last season,

Wilson wants to see it reach 300. Having fewer home games when the Vees play is hoped to help that.

There will be one change to the organiz-ation off the ice even-tually. Wilson said that his partner, co-owner Tim Kielty, who is also the Steam’s president, is looking to sell his share for family rea-sons.

Anyone interested in buying the other half of the Steam, or being a volunteer or billet is asked to call 250-462-0905.

The Steam will be holding its training camp Aug. 21 to 23.

Nine Summerland Swim-mers participated in two B.C. Provincial Championships. Tayla Ingram, 11; Heming Sola, 11; Keagan Ingram, 12 and Haley Berrisford, 14, took part in the AA Provincials in Kam-loops June 26 to 28.

Close to 250 athletes from all over the province participated in the three-day event.

The Summerland foursome walked away with eight med-als and six club records.

Tayla Ingram won bronze in the 100 metre backstroke.

Heming Sola earned gold in the 400 metre freestyle and sil-ver in the 50 metre, 200 metre and 800 metre freestyle.

Haley Berrisford earned gold in the 400 metre free and 400 metre individual medley and silver in the 800 metre free. All were club records.

Keagan Ingram earned club records in the 100 metre, 200 metre and 400 metre freestyle.

A week later, five Sum-merland athletes participated in the AAA Provincial Cham-pionships in Victoria’s Saanich Commonwealth Pool.

This is the highest level provincial swimming competi-tion. Holden Berrisford, 11; Connor Berrisford, 11; Taylor Smith, 12; Brooklyn Parliament, 13 and Brittany Parliament, 16 represented Summerland and

the Orca Swim Club. Head co-coaches Joanne

Malar and Delano Ducheck were proud of all of their per-formances.

“Our Summerland Orca swimmers rose to the challenge. It was like a snow ball effect as one swimmer’s performance would inspire the next one to race,” Malar said. “Their results show their fitness levels, stam-ina, and determination.”

Taylor Smith had a break-through meet, making two second swims with a top finish of 10th and qualifying for age group nationals.

Age group nationals is the top level meet for Canadian

Swimmers 16 and under. Smith is the first age group qualifier in the last three years.

She qualified in three events: the 50 metre backstroke, 50 metre breaststroke and 200 metre breaststroke.

“With over 700 of the best swimmers participating in the Victoria meet, qualifying for a consolation final is quite an achievement,” Ducheck said.

In the meet in Victoria, cur-rent Olympic athletes were training at the same pool in between competition sessions. One Olympic medalist got a lot of attention.

“It was definitely cool to see the kids’ reaction when they

saw Ryan Cochrane training.” The two-time Olympic sil-

ver medalist was fine-tuning before the Pan Am games in Toronto this week.

The final day of the AAA Championships was the Open Water competition. Two ORCA swimmers competed, Con-nor Berrisford raced the 1,000 metre and sister Haley Berris-ford raced the 2,000 metre race.

Both finished in personal best times.

Orca Swim Club registration for the 2015-2016 season will commence in August online at orcaswimclub.net or contact coaches for more information at [email protected].

WESTGATE, JOHN WILSONMay 23, 1946 - July 7, 2015

Steadfast husband to late wife Val, loving father to Kimberly, proud father-in-law to Matt, doting “papa” to Linden, and delighted grandpa-to-be to Baby (due September), John will be greatly

missed. His life was full of achievements, racing motorcycles, as a commercial pilot, and then a respected builder of quality homes.

Most importantly, John accomplished what we all aspire to, leaving behind a legacy of inspiration, solid values, and love.

A Celebration of Life will be held July 19 at 11am at 18014 Garnet Valley Road, Summerland BC. Photos, thoughts or memories you’d

like to share can be emailed to [email protected].
