SUMMERLAND REVIEWTHE VOICE OF OUR COMMUNITY SINCE 1908 WWW.SUMMERLANDREVIEW.COM

Petition tops 2,600 signaturesA petition opposed

to the proposed Urban Growth Plan received more than 2,600 names, including 1,200 from Summerland residents.

The petition was pre-sented to municipal coun-cil at the public hearing on Monday evening.

Erin Carlson, organ-izer of the Stop the Swap campaign, said the level of opposition to the pro-posed land exchange

must be taken seriously.“It will be very embar-

rassing for Summerland if this goes through,” she said of the proposed land exchange.

The proposed growth plan calls for the removal of around 80 hectares of land from the Agricultur-al Land Reserve near the core of the community. In exchange, around 90 hec-tares in the Prairie Valley area will be added to the

land reserve.Since the plan was

presented in early Sep-tember, a significant level of opposition has been shown.

“I haven’t even knocked on a single door to get any of those signa-tures,” Carlson said.

From April to Nov-ember, 2013, numerous open houses, workshops and meetings were held to gather input for the

proposed growth plan. In addition, information was mailed out to every home in the community. Around 1,300 people par-ticipated in the various consultation sessions.

Municipal officials have stated that the plan is the most extensive pub-lic exercise held in Sum-merland.

However, Carlson said the plan which was pre-sented does not reflect the

wishes of the public.“We’ve been misrepre-

sented,” she said. “This isn’t what the people sup-ported.”

The petition, along with comments and written submissions pre-sented to municipal coun-cil, will be considered as municipal council makes a decision on the second and third readings of the growth plan bylaw on March 10.

Growth strategy resistedMajority at hearing opposed to Urban Growth Plan

by John Arendt

Summerland’s pro-posed Urban Growth Plan received strong oppos-ition at a public hearing on Monday evening.

The hearing in the Arena Banquet Room drew a packed house as more than 40 people voiced their concerns about the plan.

Others had earlier sent written submissions, the majority in opposition to the proposal.

The Urban Growth Plan calls for the removal of 80.34 hectares of land within the Agricultural Land Reserve close to the core of the community.

In exchange, 91.7 hec-tares in the Prairie Valley area would be added to the land reserve.

“There is no need to remove prime ALR land,” said Kimberly Westgate. “There is land outside the ALR which could be developed.”

She added that hill-

sides, not valley bot-tom land, should be developed.

Don Gayton, a profes-sional agrologist, said the need for additional growth is overstated.

He said the average selling time of a house in Summerland is around 130 days, while in the rest of the Okanagan Valley, the selling time is 90 days. The vacancy rates for homes and condominium units in Summerland are much higher than the provincial average, he added.

John Barber said a ref-erendum is needed before adopting the proposed growth plan. “I feel there is more to lose than to gain,” he added.

Keith Carlson, chief executive officer of the Okanagan Plant Improve-ment Corporation, said agriculture is an import-ant part of the commun-ity. Over the years, fruit varieties from Summer-land have gained a strong reputation worldwide.

“Houses can be built anywhere; farm land is valuable,” he said.

VICTORIA – B.C. police will continue to impose 90-day driving suspensions and seize vehicles of drivers who fail a breath alcohol test, after a constitutional challenge was turned away Monday by the B.C. Court of Appeal.

“It’s a matter of public safety on our roads, and so we’re carrying on with the immediate roadside prohibition pro-gram,” Attorney Gen-eral Suzanne Anton said Monday.

The law was chal-lenged by six drivers who had either blown a “fail” reading on a roadside blood alco-hol screening device, or refused to blow. The court found that the roadside suspen-sions do not supplant the Criminal Code, where police still have the option of laying charges.

“The legislation does not create a crim-inal or quasi-criminal proceeding, nor does it lead to true penal consequences” when it allows licence sus-pensions, penalties and impound fees, three appeal court justices agreed.

The “immediate roadside prohibition” program took effect in 2010, replacing most impaired driv-ing charges with

administrative pen-alties, including a three-day driving ban and a $200 adminis-trative fee for those who register between 0.05 and 0.08, if the police officer has reason to believe the driver is impaired.

For those who blow in the “impaired” range of 0.08 or higher, police have the option of impos-ing a 90-day driving ban, a $500 penalty and impounding the vehicle for 30 days instead of laying a

charge. Towing and impounding a vehicle can result in a $700 bill, and a $1,400 mandatory “respon-sible driver program” may also be required before the driver’s licence is returned.

After an initial

court challenge, the law was amended to require police to offer a second roadside test to anyone who fails, and to advise driv-ers they can appeal their suspension to the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles.

The Wills, Estates and Succession Act

You may have heard in the news that BC is changing the law regarding Wills, Estates and Probate. After a very long time-consuming process, lawmakers in BC have created the Act referred to above. It is a new and improved consolidation of the various statutes that dealt with this area of law previously. The Act is scheduled to come into force on March 31, 2014.Most people’s existing wills are not affected by the changes in legislation as the lawmakers concentrated more on updating Estate and Probate procedures. That is not to say that there are not any changes however. One very important change is with respect to how joint ownership of real property and bank accounts is dealt with in the event that both joint owners pass away at the same time. In the rare circumstance where that occurs and it cannot be determined who passed away first, a very different distribution of the joint asset will occur from what had been the law previously.It is always a good idea to review your will on a regular basis. This new legislation is a very good reason to review your existing will and estate plan. A Lawyer specializing in Wills and Estates can answer any questions you might have. READ

AN OPEN LETTER TO OUR MAYOR AND COUNCIL

Mayor and Council:

As decision time approaches, this is a gentle reminder that you were elected to serve the needs of the whole community and not a small pressure group. Most of you promised a “balanced, common sense approach to provide positive, � scally responsible local government” along with a responsibility to ensure wise future growth planning.

� e proposed urban growth plan will ful� ll much of your election platform by providing most of what the community has indicated as important. Development creates spin o� opportunities and jobs within the community. Adequate housing at reasonable prices will be available. Creative neighborhood design by our planning department will ensure green space and parks, bicycle paths, walking trails – level and close to the downtown core. Summerland could become a jewel once again. � ere is great potential.

All this will ultimately lead to families moving back and an economic viability for our municipality that will allow for the needed upgrades in our services, roads and recreation facilities that are inevitably going to depreciate. Having a designated area for future housing development will reduce the development pressure on agricultural land outside of the boundaries. Our new water and sewer facilities will accommodate this growth.

Every successful endeavor requires a vision. It is important that each of you remember your campaign platform and personal philosophies, maintain your convictions, be true to yourselves and vote positively on the Urban Growth Proposal.

Now that the public hearing on Summerland’s proposed Urban Growth Plan has been completed, the plan must come before muni-cipal council and the Agricultural Land Commission.

The plan, which would set the direction for future growth in Summerland, will be on the municipal council agenda for the March 10 meeting.

In order to pass, the bylaw requires the support of a majority of full council, or four of the seven council members.

Coun. Lloyd Christopherson and Coun. Bruce Hallquist, who

both own land in the area affected, will be absent for this discussion.

Coun. Peter Waterman has voted against the resolution to receive the report and against the first reading of the bylaw.

If the second and third read-ings of the bylaw receive sup-port of at least four members of council, the plan will then go on to the Agricultural Land Commis-sion, since it involves changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve in Summerland.

The land commission can only respond to portions of the plan affecting agricultural land.

Council, land commission to consider growth plan

Continued from Page 1Dru Yates said the

land exchange is not fair, since the land to be removed is of a much higher qual-ity than the land to be added to the land reserve.

“I see this as noth-ing more than a shell game being played with the Prairie Val-ley lands,” added Julie Sardinha.

Barbara Thorburn said the recommen-dations from the growth report do not reflect the wishes of the public.

“We need to have a deep, meaningful consultation about this issue,” she said.

John Gordon, who farms close to the core of the community, said there are many vacant properties between his farm and the downtown area.

He added that there are other oppor-tunities for growth, without the need for

removing land from the land reserve.

David Finnis said the agricultural land will be needed for food production in the future. He said a large-scale drought in California should show the importance of local food security.

“We have a respon-sibility to the future to preserve this land.”

George Brake said the growth plan makes sense in the short term, but is not a good long-term strat-egy. “In the future, we are going to need every bit of our prime agricultural land,” he said. “When you can-not eat, nothing else matters.”

Supporting the proposed plan, Pam Killick, a farmer, said housing is needed. “We need to build homes in the down-town core to keep young people here,” she said.

Don Hudgeon

said the growth plan as presented makes sense because it keeps development close to the existing services and utilities.

He added that the plan reflects the com-ments from the pub-lic during the consul-tation process.

“It’s the result of what the majority of interested people in Summerland want-ed,” he said. “They are just doing what we asked them to do.”

Chamber president Arlene Fenrich said consultation process was inclusive and comprehensive.

She added that densification will help to create a more walkable community.

Now that the pub-lic hearing has been completed, the second and third readings of the bylaw on the growth plan will be considered at the council meeting on Monday, March 10.

Exchange opposedFull houseThe Arena Banquet Room was filled to capacity for the open house on the proposed Urban Growth Plan on Monday evening.

VICTORIA – The New Pros-perity mineral deposit near Williams Lake is described by the industry as one of the lar-gest in the world, containing 5.3 billion pounds of copper and 13.3 million ounces of gold.

The Harp-er govern-ment’s deci-sion to reject open-pit mine development for a second time is seen by elected officials in the Cariboo region as a dis-aster.

One of Quesnel’s sawmills is preparing to close for good, and I’ve been told there is more to come as the post-pine beetle era unfolds.

Here in the B.C. capital, the decision is mainly viewed as a huge mistake. Taseko Mines is going to court to show that the federal panel used the wrong design when reviewing the company’s expensively revised plan.

The province has permitted two successful mines that oper-ate in the same area, one of which is run by Taseko.

In Ottawa, this is a Supreme Court of Canada test case over who owns the land and the mineral wealth underneath.

In traditional Canadian law, the province owns it. This was highlighted in the recent dis-cussion between B.C. Premier Christy Clark and Alberta’s Alison Redford over royalties from oil.

Six aboriginal commun-

ities make up the Tsilhqot’in Nation, which has a long and bitter history of resistance against the Crown.

They almost won a declara-tion of title to 40,000 hectares known as the Nemiah Val-ley: forests, wild horses, min-erals and all, in a 339-day trial that ended in 2007.

Their case suffered a setback at the B.C. Court of Appeal, and is now before the highest court. Aboriginal rights have been established, but this would be the first clear title.

Tsilhqot’in tribal chair Joe Alphonse was pleasantly sur-prised to see Taseko turned down again.

He said the Tsilhqot’in National Government is releas-ing its own mining policies soon.

“We welcome opportun-ities to look at projects that are environmentally sound and we need economic opportunities,” Alphonse told the Williams Lake Tribune.

Somehow efforts to move mine waste rock from Teztan Biny (Fish Lake) to a sealed storage site two kilometres away are not enough to pro-tect groundwater, although they are sufficient at the near-by Gibraltar and Mount Polley mines.

And Alphonse makes it clear this mysterious environmental problem will be solved once he and his fellow chiefs have control of the resource.

A Supreme Court of Can-ada ruling on aboriginal title is required to settle this.

If some limited form of title

is at last defined for the treaty-less majority of B.C., or at least Tsilhqot’in territory, the fate of the mine may become clear.

Conventional wisdom on this is that the mining com-pany didn’t try hard enough to establish a working relation-ship with the Tsilhqot’in.

For his part, Taseko CEO Russell Hallbauer says the chiefs refused to meet with him, which isn’t surprising from a group that doesn’t rec-ognize the B.C. forests ministry either.

Here’s a sample of the vol-ume of evidence that may determine the future of B.C.

Archeological studies pre-sented at trial describe “18 roasting and/or pit depres-sions” at Teztan Biny. It’s not clear if these were for season-al food preparation or for pit houses, which would indicate a more permanent settlement at the lake.

Nor is it clear whether these “cultural depressions” have been identified as being of Tsilhqot’in origin.

Oral histories are also uncertain. Tsilhqot’in witness-es testified that Teztan Biny has been used in the 20th cen-tury as a hunting and fishing camp.

The mine was rejected due to ill-defined cultural as well as environmental concerns. B.C. residents could finally see some answers this year.

SUMMERLAND REVIEWA PART OF THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1908 WWW.SUMMERLANDREVIEW.COM

Last week, numerous activities and initiatives were held in con-junction with Summerland Bully-Free’s pink shirt promotion.

For years, efforts have been made to address the problem of bullying, but it continues, and it is not just confined to students.

If Summerland wishes to develop a reputation as a bully-free community, it is essential that discussions and dialogues fol-low common courtesy and rules of order. Ridicule, belittling and mockery are forms of bullying. These are not appropriate ways to respond to differing views.

culls

On Monday, students pre-sented their science research at the District Sci-ence Fair at Summer land S e c o n d a r y School.

The best of these exhib-its will go on to regional and possibly national competitions.

Summerland has a strong trad-ition in science fair excellence and this year’s entries show the same high quality.

The students deserve con-gratulations for their efforts.

ourpickA better way

of planningDespite a lengthy public

consultation process, the final discussion on Summerland’s proposed Urban Growth Plan took on much the same char-acter as discussions on previ-ous land use plans.

For most of 2013, efforts were in place to ensure a high level of public input. In the end, around 1,300 people filled out surveys and partici-pated in discussions, work-shops and open houses on the plan.

The numerous public ses-sions were set up to ensure the plan would represent the wishes of the community.

However, when the report was received in early December, it was evident that there was a significant level of opposition to the proposed plan.

A petition set up in oppos-ition to the agricultural land exchange received 2,600 sig-natures, including 1,200 from Summerlanders.

This level of opposition must not be ignored.

Others spoke out at the public hearing to express their concerns about the pro-posed plan.

Public comment is an important part of any land use plan and the comments raised on Monday should receive careful consideration.

Any land use plan will affect the community for many years to come. Once an area has been developed, it is difficult if not impossible to return it to an undeveloped state.

For this reason, extreme care must be taken with any plan involving land use.

Along with the points which have been raised about the effects of the growth plan, one other question must be asked.

What measures, if any, can be taken so future plans do not result in the same level of tension and divisiveness?

Today and in the future, Summerland needs a plan which can be embraced by all, a plan which can unite and not divide our community.

Fragmentation and polariz-ation do not benefit any of us.

THE EARLY YEARS

Garden fresh vegetablesIn 1930 Overwaitea Food Store opened its doors to the public on Granville Road (10120 Main St.) This photo from 1951 shows off a healthy selection in their newly renovated fruit and vegetable bins. The size of today’s produce sections, not to mention the prices therein, have grown considerably. Since March is National Nutrition Month, the Dieticians of Canada invite you to spend a little extra time among the vegetables. When it comes to good eating, the produce depart-ment is the best place to shop.

Dear Editor:What in the world

is municipal council thinking?

Why would coun-cil choose to tear down the former corporation build-ing, transformed

over the past 16 years into a pristine gallery and arts centre, and replace it with a new structure to house the library.

No one disputes that the library needs a larger facility, but

at the expense of an established arts cen-tre? Surely there were other equally viable options.

Whatever led to council’s decision — whether they actual-ly considered other

options or not — it is unlikely that we, the public, will ever really know as the grunt work was done and the deal sealed in utmost secrecy.

Summerland Com-munity Arts Council

board members were kept completely out of the loop until less than a week before the deal was final-ized and then asked to keep the matter confidential.

As a result, the

rest of the member-ship and the general public were informed virtually at the same time when the announcement was made public Feb. 20 with an orchestrated news release in front of the soon to be demolished arts cen-tre.

The secrecy, the lack of communica-tion and the absence of negotiation among all involved is par-ticularly difficult to understand.

Over the past 16 years, the relation-ship between Sum-merland Commun-ity Arts Council and municipal council has been very amic-able and mutually supportive.

Make no mistake, the arts council has always been very grateful for the use of the former corpora-tion building and has always recognized council’s right to sell the building.

However, it is safe to say that the expect-ation was always that at the very least the arts council would have a heads up and plenty of time to relocate if the build-ing was put on the market. We obviously had no heads-up and the date by which we must vacate the premises (June of this year) is non-negotiable.

Finally, there’s the spin.

Julie McGuire, long-range planner

for the municipality, outlined the bene-fits the new library would bring to the downtown core while noting that the temporary relocation of the arts centre to a store front further up Main Street would help give it addition-al exposure.

Echoing her senti-ments, Mayor Janice Perrino stated, “I can’t begin to tell you what it (the new library facility) will do for Main Street and the economic boom it will bring. It couldn’t be better.”

Both points in my opinion are at best disingenuous. While the library is well used, it is hard to see how its new location and facility would truly result in an eco-nomic boom for Sum-merland.

Equally difficult to understand is how an interim location for the arts centre and gallery in an empty building best suited for a commercial ven-ture could possibly be a plus.

As positive and optimistic as one tries to be, it is dif-ficult to view what has transpired in the past couple of weeks as anything but a significant step back-wards for the arts community.

Barbara EtterSummerland

Community Arts Council volunteer and

lifetime memberSummerland

Library location a bad decision

Dear Editor:I have written that I

am opposed to taking land out of the Agri-cultural Land Reserve.

The question asked is how do we make Summerland a viable community. I have some suggestions that I would like to add for consideration.

1. Rental costs for stores in town are too high. Most of the buildings are old and long since paid for. If supply and demand rule market price, then clearly this is the time when those rents could be lowered to encourage businesses to stay.

2. Winter tomatoes and peppers are often greenhouse grown. Why can’t this ALR

property be leased out and have our town be the supplier of the area’s green-house vegetables? We would not be truck-ing food from Cali-fornia and Florida so our carbon footprint would be smaller and we wouldn’t have to genetically modify the fruit to make it transportable over long distances.

3. People still buy canned fruit and vegetables. Sadly, Okanagan canner-ies have been closed down, which meant loss of jobs for lots of Summerlanders. Can we not encourage more value added industry to support our fruit growers?

4. I wonder why

a housing develop-ment was created right beside our James Lake Industrial Area. This seems like strange planning. I hope that the meat store that requested to have an abattoir on its premises will be encouraged to do so in the Bentley Road Industrial Area. We want industry but we don’t allow it.

5. Encourage people who used to butcher highly valued chickens and other meats to reopen as it has become apparent that the large indus-trial butchers are the cause of the disease-producing meats.

6. I was interested to read about John Bennest’s scientific

inventions and in-home productions. Perhaps there is a place for more sci-entific industry. Any ideas, John?

7. Could the co-op buildings be turned into reasonably priced warehouse or office spaces for people who have small business ideas or home business-es but would like a space outside the home?

8. I heard a won-derful idea from a thoughtful woman the other day. We really need an addi-tion to the Parkdale Place complex’s Angus Place. The waiting list is years long and our popu-lation needs more

independent living space as provided by Angus Place. Her idea was to create such a place with the library on the main floor, giving easy access for all Sum-merlanders. With the library about to be built at the corner of Main Street and Kelly Avenue, why can’t this be put into the works.

9. Keep open to the idea of an agricultur-al college in Summer-land and continue to canvass the prov-incial government especially as our food needs are increasing-ly apparent.

That’s it from my desk for now.

Diddy EvansSummerland

Business and agriculture questions raised

Dear EditorIt was with great

interest that I read the articles concern-ing Heritage Week and specifically the intention to name our three round-abouts.

As an “armchair historical geograph-er” I love reading about our pioneers and their early efforts which resulted in our present day com-munity.

I do believe how-ever, that if we start naming geographic features after nega-

tive things, such as naming our new-est roundabout after someone killed at that location, we are starting down a slip-pery slope.

As per the attached photo, (courtesy of Summerland Museum), perhaps a more positive dir-ection would be to name our newest roundabout after the pioneer family whose house you tore down, to build the round-about!

Land proposal puzzlingDear Editor:The land swap

proposed by the cur-rent Summerland

council leaves us shaking our heads in wonder.

We are registering our opposition to the land swap for the fol-lowing reasons:

o We have stud-ied the Official Com-munity Plan maps and have found other suitable land (not in the Agricultural Land Reserve) within the boundaries you require.

o With the advent of climate change, scientists around the world are acknow-ledging the neces-sity for us to change. Soon you will be required within your OCP to show how you grow enough food to support your community, how

you support com-munity gardens, encourage and sup-port young people to learn about farming and caring for the land.

o We question your economic wis-dom in suggesting that once the land in question is released from the ALR, it will be available for developing afford-able housing. How can you determine that? You have no right to dictate to a developer how much they can sell the land for. Nor can you dic-tate to a developer what materials to use or what profit they can make. We all know that once land is on the open

market, anything can happen.

o As a council, you told us carriage hous-es and infill housing would comply with sustainable princi-ples. Where are those principles now?

Sadly we could go on with more rea-sons.

We will end this by suggesting to you that the economic life of Summerland and specifically the downtown core should not be based on housing develop-ment that may or may not bring people to live, work and spend money here.

Growth Factor technoloGyBased on the best of biotechnology (peptides) and nature (natural flower bulb extract), this revolutionary technology helps in the stimulation of the skin cell renewal process and in the regeneration of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid in the epidermis.What are Epidermal Growth Factors? They are vitamins or hormones (proteins) that are required for the stimulation of growth in living cells. They orchestrate the continuous regeneration and wound healing process of the skin.Chronologically aged skin is characterized by a diminished production of growth factors. The consequence is a reduction of collagen and elastin - skin looks less radiant, dull and wrinkled.

THE PAST March 13

at 4 & 7 p.m. at the Landmark 7 Cinema**Beautifully Written **Sensitively Directed ** Powerfully Acted **

Following his Oscar win for A Separation, director Asghar Farhadi continues to develop the complex theme of a family in conflict. The story revolves around Ahmad, who travels from Tehran to Paris to finalize his divorce from his French wife, Marie. A gracious meeting at the airport quickly dissolves into acrimonious bickering and Ahmad, despite his best intentions, finds himself drawn into further emotional entanglements when he discovers their daughter vehemently objects to her mother’s new relationship. A masterful exploration of clotted family relationships set against the difficult struggles of an immigrant community trying to establish itself in foreign country. Director: Asghar Farhadi Cast: Bérénice Bejo, Tahar Rahim, Ali Mosaffa, Pauline Burlet Rated: 14A ~ subtitled

Summerland Review Thursday, March 6, 2014 L I F E S T Y L E www.summerlandreview.com 7

by Carla McLeodSpecial to the

Review

S u m m e r l a n d ’ s oldest family farm is now in the hands of its fifth generation.

James Gartrell arrived in Trout Creek in 1885 and brought his family from Ontario in 1887.

He staked out a piece of land known as a pre-emption and proceeded to clear the land and build a home with the lum-ber. He planted the very first commer-cial peach orchard in the area. He was also granted the first water license in order to dam the waters of Trout Creek, thus providing irrigation to his fruit trees.

His peaches pro-vided the miners of Camp McKinney and Fairview with fresh fruit, and were

hauled there in a wagon pulled by a team of six horses. It took three days to make the round trip.

The farm was eventually passed on to his son Fredrick Richard Gartrell, who added to the orchard, muskmelon and zuccamelon crops, as well as a commercial honey operation.

In 1946, Fredrick’s son Lloyd Gartrell returned home from the war and took over the farm, hoping to make enough money off of it to feed his family.

When the crops froze out in 1951, he was forced to take a job with the cable company. Although he continued to live and raise his chil-dren on the farm, the operation of it was handled by several different managers

in the years to fol-low. New crops were planted, adding to the peaches, apples, apricots and prunes. The fruit went to local canneries and

packing houses.After getting a

Bachelor of Science degree in Agricul-ture, Lloyd’s son David Gartrell took over the farm in 1978.

His brother Fred Gartrell, who had been with the Bank of Nova Scotia, joined him in 1981.

“I always told everyone that every agrologist needs a banker to keep the farm going, someone who understands

finances,” said David.“People told us a

person should never work with family, but in 25 years of farming together, we only had one major dispute and that only lasted a few hours,” Fred added.

Together the broth-ers bought up more

land. They replaced old trees with high density planting of newer varieties of apples.

Although both men have now retired and the farm is being run by David’s son-in-law, they still think there is a future in farming.

“My hope is that agricultural land is going to be more valuable in the future. The land is scarce and the population of the planet is increasing,” Fred stated.

“You get tied to the land you farm. You are not going to make a fortune in farm-ing, but there is a lot of satisfaction from working the land and producing food,” David said.

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.

Bully-free initiativeChildren and youth workers from the Summerland Boys and Girls Club and Summerland Asset Development Initiative join municipal representatives and members of Bully Free Summerland as the first anti-bullying signs were set up last week. The pink bully free signs will designate public parks and beaches as bully-free zones.

In celebration of International Women’s Day, auth-ors Sherril Foster, Julie Fowler and Claire Festel will read from their new books and discuss the chal-lenges and rewards of uncovering B.C. and Yukon women’s

history.Festel did not set

out to write a book, but provide an oral element to the Yukon Women: 50 Over 50 art exhibit.

The book arose from the curios-ity of these women to know more about

each other, a genuine collaborative effort and Festel’s belief in the importance of sharing these stories.

Foster was delight-ed by the accol-ades and thanks she received from relatives of Mary Spencer, the pioneer photographer

she wrote about. One man com-

mented, “That hand-some man on the cover is my grand-father! It’s the first picture of him most of my family has seen!”

Fowler’s search began with a date to a

funeral with her now husband, Paul Craw-ford, curator of the Penticton Art Gallery.

The importance of these stories has not gone unnoticed; the books have received a hefty amount of media attention, including interviews on CBC’s

North by Northwest and a feature article in The Province, among many other news-papers and maga-zines.

Everyone is invited to attend this event to learn about uncov-ering the past. The readings and talk will

be followed by ques-tions from the audi-ence, and book sign-ings.

The reading will be held Thursday, March 6 at 7 p.m. in the Penticton Pub-lic Library Reading Room, 785 Main St., Penticton.

For several years, the Penticton and District Stamp Club has been encouraging donations of inactive postage stamp collec-tions.

Speaking at a club meeting, Gus Boersma, chair of the club, told members people often have old stamp collections in their homes, left to them by relatives or friends.

Some of these albums may have been stored for many years.

When albums are donated to the club, the most valuable stamps are removed and sold to members as premium lots.

The album itself, containing the more common stamps, is sold as a separate item.

The new owner often removes the balance of the stamps with a view to upgrading his or her own collection before disposing of the old book.

However, once in a while an album is received which has been its owner’s

pride and joy. One such album of Can-adian stamps show-ing signs of much tender loving care was donated to the club recently.

The owner was not identified.

Harvey Baessler, president of the stamp club, was amazed at the high quality of freehand illustrations accom-panying the various

pages — artwork which must have taken many hours to complete.

With the approval of the membership, Baessler decided to donate it as an exhib-it to the Summerland

Museum.In order to make it

as complete a record as possible, Baessler searched his own collection, supply-ing many of the mis-sing stamps from his duplicates.

He then turned the volume to fellow club member Blaine Mar-tinac of Summerland, who filled in more blanks before pre-senting the album to the museum in early February.

The money raised from the sale of stamps and albums is donated to the club’s three charities.

The club pro-vides funds for the Penticton Regional Hospital’s patient care tower, the Can-adian Cancer Society and Moog Hospice House.

Since the incep-tion of the campaign in 2006, the club has raised $7,861.15 for these charities.

Album donationBlaine Martinac of the Penticton and District Stamp Club presents a stamp album to Sharon Stone of the Summerland Museum.

Ballet Kelowna is launching its second decade with a ground-breaking program featuring Canadian choreog-raphers and compos-ers. This performance entitled Innovation will challenge ideas of contemporary bal-let.

From pioneering works to a cutting edge commission the audience is invited to join Ballet Kelow-na’s artistic director David LaHay as he celebrates his final season with the com-pany he founded against all odds.

In this crown-ing achievement of LaHay’s long career you will witness choreography by Kay Armstrong and Brian Macdonald, and for-mer Ballet B.C. star Simone Orlando.

You’ll also have the opportunity to hear a mixture of compos-ers from Quebecois s inger-songwriter Gilles Vigneault to Kelowna’s own jazz composer Neville Bowman, Toronto’s Linda Catlin Smith and Vancouver ’s Marcus Goddard.

them on Facebook at Facebook.com/Bal-letKelowna

Penticton poet, writer and performer Shane Koyczan will be joining the Oka-nagan Symphony Orchestra at the Cle-land Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Saturday even-ing.

Remember the opening of the 2010 Vancouver Olym-pics? Imagine what a slam poet can do with a symphonic backup.

Music Director Rosemary Thom-son will be hosting

her customary pre-concert talk one hour prior to the perform-ance which will pro-vide audience mem-bers with additional insight into this spe-cial program.

Ask YourDentist...

Dr. Cindee Melashenko

Q Are you taking new patients? - Julie

AYes, we always have room for new patients.

Our team loves meeting new people and we focus on connecting with each guest. We look after our patients with the same care and attention that we would with our own family. During your visit in our office, we want to find out your long term goals for your dental health and then we partner with you to come up with a plan to meet those goals.

When providing our dental care, we are gentle and make our guests as comfortable as possible. We have modern equipment that makes our treatment easier and more efficient. During your visit we give you the TV remote and/or play the music that makes you most comfortable. Some of our patients even fall asleep during treatment.

I really enjoy dentistry. I’ve been practicing for 14 years and in Summerland for the last 9. I live here, I am raising my family here, and I am proud and privileged to call Summerland home. I attend quite a few courses to keep current on all the details of dentistry. We feel that when we are providing care for our “extended family” that we want to provide the very best. We forward to meeting you!

Steam win in overtime actionIt was a come-

from-behind win for the Summerland Steam on Tuesday as the Junior B hockey team defeated the North Okanagan Knights in the sixth game of the division semi-finals.

The game, in Arm-strong, saw the Steam earning a 2-1 over-time victory.

After a score-less first period, the Knights’ only goal came at 16:35 in the second period.

Then, with just 53 seconds remaining in the third period, Jor-dan Boultbee of the Steam tied the game.

Easton Bodeux and Dylan Burton had the assists.

Sam Nigg clinched the win for the Steam with an unassisted goal at 3:23 in over-time.

“It was a great game,” Steam coach John DePourcq said after the win on Tues-day. “Now we’ve got to do it all over again tomorrow.”

DePourcq credited the overtime win with dedication on the part of the Steam players. “The Knights unfortunately got the first goal, but we never gave up,” he said. “They’re a really good group of boys

who really pulled together.”

The game on Wed-nesday evening was the seventh in the division semi-finals. Results of that game were not available by press time.

In February, the Steam finished the regular season play

as the top-ranked team in the Okanag-an/Shuswap Confer-ence: Okanagan Div-ision of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League.

The Steam finished regular season action with 33 wins, 15 loss-es, one tie and three overtime losses.

The Knights fin-ished the regular sea-son in fourth place in the division.

The first of the playoff games was held on Feb. 25 in Summerland.

The opening per-iod was scoreless. In the second period, Burton scored from

Boultbee and Josh DaCosta at 8:16 to give the Steam the lead. The second Steam goal, by Reid Brown from Bodeux, came at 5:25.

The Knights responded with two goals to tie the game.

The final Steam goal was in the third

period with seven seconds remaining, when Olli Dickson scored from Brown and DaCosta.

The following evening, the steam faced the Knights in Armstrong, playing to an 8-3 loss.

After two North Okanagan goals in the first period, Day-lan Robertson scored on a power play for Summerland at 4:48, assisted by Bodeux and DaCosta.

In the second per-iod, Burton scored on a power play at 17:57, assisted by Boultbee and Rylan Sideroff.

The Knights responded with three goals in the period.

S u m m e r l a n d ’ s third goal was in the third period at 12:59 when Sideroff scored on a power play, assisted by Boultbee and Burton.

The loss served to inspire the team to work harder. “It was a really good wake-up call for the boys,” DePourcq said.

While the Steam lost the next two games, the scores were much closer.

On Friday, the Knights shut out the Steam in Summer-land in a 3-0 game.

On March 1, Steam faced the Knights in

Armstrong, playing to a 2-1 loss.

After a scoreless first period and two North Okanagan goals in the second, Summerland’s sole goal came during a power play at 2:51 in the third period when Sideroff scored with assists by Brown and Kienan Scott.

A game in Sum-merland on March 2 added a win for the Steam in a 2-1 deci-sion.

Summerland’s first goal came at 9:33 in the second period when Scott scored, assisted by Robertson.

In the third period, DaCosta scored on a power play at 17:30, assisted by Robertson and Scott.

A North Okanagan goal was not enough to alter the outcome.

The winner of the game on Wednesday will go on to face the Osoyoos Coyotes in the division finals. The seven-game ser-ies begins on March 7.

The winner of that match will face the 100 Mile House Wranglers or the Kamloops Storm for the conference title in a series beginning March 17.

The league cham-pionship series will begin March 28.

Playoff actionMayor Janice Perrino prepares to drop the puck in the first game of the division semifinals at the Summerland Arena on Feb. 25. At left is Logan Geefs of the North Okanagan Knights and at right is Daylan Robertson of the Summerland Steam. In the background is Bill Ohlhausen, president of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League.

Curling excellenceJudy Francis, left, event chair, presents the bronze medal to the team of Lil Blashko, Cindy Curtain, Sylvia Lowe and Tammy Brennan at the 2014 Senior Women’s Provincial Playdowns.

A Summerland team won the bronze medal at the 2014 Sen-ior Women’s Provin-cial Playdowns held in Courtenay Feb. 17 to 21.

The team was skipped by Lil Blashko, Cindy Cur-tain played third, Sylvia Lowe (Oli-ver) played second and Tammy Brennan played lead.

The team played

well throughout the week and their rec-ord at the end of the round robin was four wins and three loss-es, which qualified them for a tiebreaker.

They won the tie-breaker, defeating the Cathy Smiley team from the Royal City Curling Club 7-5.

The semi-final was a very close game with the opposition

skip (Lisa Deputan, Chilliwack Curling Club) making a great shot on the last end for the win and the silver medal.

The gold medal was won by the Penny Shantz four-some representing the Parksville Curl-ing Club.

They will represent B.C. at the nation-als in Yellowknife in mid-March.

WAYLETT, PEARL (NEE CAIRNS)September 23, 1919 – Ninette, MB

March 1, 2014 – Calgary, ABIt is with sadness, but peace, that we announce the passing of our beautiful mother Pearl Waylett (nee Cairns), knowing that she is with her Lord and Savior. She was born in Ninette Manitoba on September 23, 1919. She passed away peace-fully in her sleep at Foothills hospital in Calgary on March 1st, 2014 following a stroke. Pearl was predeceased by her loving husband Pat in 2009, after 67 years of marriage. Pearl was a loving, devoted mother to her 4 chil-dren, Garry (Gayle), Bill (Gail), Randy (Denise) and Mary-Jane (Mark Glaser deceased 2011). She was adored by her 10 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. Her number one priority in life was her family.Pearl always had a positive attitude about life and shared her beautiful smile with everyone. Growing up in Winnipeg she attended Kelvin High School, was an avid speed skater and loved playing her violin in an orchestra. She also loved music, dancing and playing cards.Pearl had several career jobs (Burns, Eaton’s, Ross Reality) and loved her position at St. John’s Ravenscourt School, where she was a special friend to all the resident students.Pearl lived her life as a devoted Christian, always caring for others and sharing her faith. Two of her favorite ways of serving God were working with children (Mission Band) and blessing many with a large mailing of the Upper Room monthly for more than 25 years. In Winnipeg, Pat and Pearl were active members of St. Vital Baptist Church, then in BC at Summerland Baptist Church. Pat and Pearl raised their family in Winnipeg, and after retirement enjoyed years as snowbirds wintering in Desert Hot Springs, California. They moved to Summerland BC in 1988. They enjoyed a wide circle of friends wherever they lived. In 2013 Pearl moved to Calgary where she resided at Wentworth Manor. Pearl will be deeply missed by her family and friends, but all have peace knowing that she will spend eternity in Heaven with loved ones. Her children and grandchildren will have a private celebration of Pearl’s life in Calgary. In lieu of flowers a donation can be made to a charity of your choice.

John Edward waltonEd Walton passed away peacefully in his Summer-land home in January at the age of 88. John Edward Walton was born in Neptune, Sas-katchewan. His mother died when he was 3 months old and his dad brought him to Summerland to live with his grandparents. Eddie grew up in the Okana-gan, helping his grandparents farm their orchard near Garnet Valley. He often rode his horse, or bike, into town to meet up with friends at the wharf in the summer months. Ed Walton and Eunice Harvey were childhood friends and High School sweethearts in Summer-land. Their paths separated when Ed went off to fly with the Royal Canadian Air Force during WWII and Eunice went to the states to pursue a college education. Ed received the 1939-1945 star for service in France and Germany medal, the Defence of Britain medal, and the Victory medal. Ed was hired by the provincial police in 1948 and was transferred to the RCMP in 1950, retiring in 1972 as a Staff Sergeant after serving in various communities in B.C. He then worked as a civilian with the City of Kamloops Police Station for the next 20 years. Ed was an active member of the RCMP Veterans’ Association.After Ed’s first wife, Eva, passed away he looked for his long ago friend, Eunice, and found her in Oregon. Their love was quickly rekindled and they married in 1999 and moved back to Summerland where their early romance had begun. Ed is survived by his wife, Eunice; his daughters, Dian, Sandra, and Judith; his stepchildren, Cathy, David, and Barbara; and his many grandchildren and great grandchildren. He will be remembered for his ready smile and deeply missed by his family and friends.
