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

First segment of regional route to be completed this summer

John Arendt

The first portion of a multi-use trail in the Okanagan Valley is expected to open in July.

The 1.3-kilometre section will extend parallel to Highway

97 from Lakeshore Drive in Summerland to the Summerland RV Park.

The recreational pathway is the first part of the Trail of the Okanagans initiative.

Organizers hope to extend the multi-use trail throughout the region.

“I’ve worked with and learned from some incred-ible people in North America and over-

seas while develop-ing routes and cyc-ling events,” said Ian Lobb, the newly appointed chair of the trail steering com-mittee.

“Our goal is to bring people togeth-er and help create a connection to com-munities for residents and visitors alike to experience the beauty of the Interior.”

Earlier, Lobb was involved with the

Waterfront Trail in Ontario. That trail features more than 700 kilometres of pathways around Lake Ontario.

Last year in late spring, the province and the municipality announced a total of $500,000 for the first segment of the trail, to be built in Sum-merland.

Under the agree-ment, the province is contributing $420,000

while the municipal-ity is contributing $80,000.

In addition, the municipality had earlier contributed $20,000 for the design concept of the trail.

The pathway will be constructed by the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. It is expected to be a min-imum of two metres wide.

A concrete barrier

will separate it from the shoulder of the highway making it safe for cyclists and pedestrians.

The 1.3-kilometre segment is the first phase of the trail project. The second phase will extend the pathway through Trout Creek to Sun-oka Provincial Park and to Penticton.

The funding and exact route have yet to be determined.

Trail project to startTrail conceptA 1.3-kilometre segment of a multi-use lakeshore trail will be completed this summer. The recreational pathway is the first phase of the Trail of the Okanagans initiative, a proposed trail which will link communities in the valley.

Legal Phrases in Pop CultureA recent article by Jeffrey Miller in the Canadian Bar Association’s magazine the “National” referred to legally minded phrases that people use all the time likely without knowing their exact origins. Here are two:“Round up the usual suspects” - Movie buffs and Humphrey Bogart fans will instantly recognise that as the classic line spoken by Claude Rains as “Louis Renault” the French Vichy Prefect of Police in the movie” Casablanca”. Of course, Louis knew who had committed the crime, but he was in no rush to uncover the real culprit, our hero “Rick”. That line is said to have inspired the idea for a more recent movie called appropriately enough “The Usual Suspects”. A very good movie known for its all-star cast and its surprising final minute reveal.“Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time” – Many younger people will say that they have heard Snoop Dog or the group Ub40 sing this line. Many older people will wonder who Snoop Dog or Ub40 are! The reality is that the line was first sung by Sammy Davis Jr. in the mid-1970s. It was written into a theme song for the TV Cop show “Baretta” starring Robert Blake. The rest of the story is of course that Mr. Blake went on to have quite a checkered legal history.

Police rePort

Black bear inter-actions in Summer-land are an ongoing concern for the Regional District of Okanagan Simil-kameen’s WildSafe coordinator.

Last year, 17 per cent of calls to

conservation offi-cers about wildlife encounters were from Summerland.

Zoe Kirk, com-munity coordinator of WildSafe, told municipal council last week there are meas-ures which could be

taken to reduce the number of wildlife encounters.

She recommends ending the practice of residents setting out their garbage before collection day.

The smell of the garbage draws bears

and other wildlife, at times resulting in human-wildlife con-flicts.

“What we really want to avoid is a high-risk lunch,” she said.

In fall, a garbage audit was conducted

in Summerland to determine how many residents were set-ting out their gar-bage early. The audits showed a significant number who set out their garbage the night before collec-tion.

On the other side of Okanagan Lake, Naramata has enforced a garbage bylaw, ending the practice of residents setting out their gar-bage before collection day.

As a result, the number of bear encounters in that community has dropped significant-ly, Kirk said.

“I am really pleased with how well that community has supported it,” she said.

She added that enforcing a garbage bylaw in Summer-land would be an important measure, but the reduction in bear encounters will not happen instant-ly, since bears here have grown up with garbage as a read-ily available food source.

In addition, she said it takes roughly one full year before a community complies with a strict garbage bylaw.

Garbage changes urged to deter bears

Single vehicle accidentPolice and firefighters examined the scene following a single vehicle accident on Highway 97 on Monday early in the afternoon.

Fines imposed for off-roading

Mailbox thefts reportedOver the past week, mailboxes in Summer-

land were opened in a new rash of mail thefts.Summerland RCMP say five incidents were

reported over the past week, on Prairie Valley Road, Simpson Road and Victoria Road.

License plates were reported stolen from several vehicles in Summerland and replaced with stolen plates.

Summerland RCMP urge motorists to check to see their plates have not been replaced.Bicycle stolen

On Tuesday morning, police were called after a women’s bike was reported stolen from Landry Crescent.

The bike is a black and blue Calibe, with a 15.5-inch frame.

Anyone with information on the theft is asked to contact the Summerland RCMP detachment.

One of the most interesting regional developments over the past few years is the continued for-ward momentum being generated around cycling.

This is great news for those of us living here and cycling for recreation and com-muting as well as for tourism and tour-ism related cycling events.

And let’s not forget regional economic benefits as those are significant as well.

So what’s been happening since last summer?

In Lake Country a public campaign has been launched to buy an abandoned CN Rail corridor that runs nearly 50 kilo-metres from Vernon to Kelowna, through orchards, vineyards and along one of Can-ada’s most beautiful lakes.

A referendum is underway regard-ing borrowing for

this project and there are other issues to address but if suc-cessful, it will be an amazing trail.

In Kelowna, the second phase of their Rails with Trails pro-ject has been com-pleted.

It’s a long term plan but ultim-ately, this safe, off-road pathway is envisioned to extend from the downtown cultural district to UBC Okanagan Cam-pus, the Kelowna International Airport and beyond.

Closer to home

Penticton is making strides on becoming a designated bike pre-cinct.

The designation would give the prov-ince a clear mandate to improve safety and signage for cyclists in the region and help extend our tourism season into the shoul-der months.

Penticton, Sum-merland, and other communities within the RDOS have just wrapped up a major project identifying and mapping cycling routes of interest to recreational riders. This new map will be available just after Easter.

Here in Summer-land, the new bike pathway from Lower Town to Trout Creek will soon be break-ing ground and is expected to be ready for riders by sum-mer.

This pathway is cost shared between the Ministry of Trans-portation and the

District of Summer-land and was a major milestone for the Trail of the Okanagans advocacy group.

It’s clear that the long-term goal of linking the region from Osoyoos to Shuswap is certainly doable. It’s just a mat-ter of time.

And now it’s time for you to have your say.

The Chamber of Commerce, on behalf of the District of Summerland, and the Economic Develop-ment department of the City of Pentic-ton have utilized a grant provided by BC Healthy Commun-ities to create a cyc-ling survey directed at residents and tour-ist.

Created by the new President of Trail of the Okanagans, Ian Lobb of Penticton, the survey is designed to capture your views on cycling here in Summerland.

What do you

want more of — safe routes, signage, cycle amenities?

What’s missing from your biking experience?

How often are you cycling and why? It’s not a long survey; five minutes should do it. But your views are important. You can link directly to the survey from the district’s home page at www.summer-land.ca or the cham-ber’s at www.sum-m e r l a n d c h a m b e r.com.

Please take a few minutes and share your thoughts.

We always appre-ciate your feedback. Please contact me at [email protected] or our Chamber Presi-dent, Kelly Marshall, at president@sum-m e r l a n d c h a m b e r.com .

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

Okanagan continues to cycle forward

YOUR VIEWS

The first part of the Trail of the Okanagans, a 1.3-kilometre section along the lakeshore in Summerland, is a short but important piece of the proposed trail system.

The trail will run parallel to Highway 97 from Lakeshore Drive to the Summerland RV Park, with completion expected this summer.

Eventually, as the trail expands, organ-izers hope to have a system linking Okanagan Valley communities.

The cost of the first segment of the trail is $500,000, with $420,000 of this amount coming from the provincial government.

The price is significant and a longer trail will come at a high cost. Funding agree-ments and partnerships will be neces-sary. However, there are some important advantages to a regional trail.

The tourism benefits alone are sig-nificant. In Europe, eastern Canada and other areas, trail networks draw visitors and help to bolster tourism and hospitality businesses.

A similar trail network here could draw additional tourists to this region.

Equally important, the first phase of the trail will provide a safe corridor for ped-estrians and cyclists travelling between Trout Creek and Lowertown, separated from the highway.

The high volumes of summer traffic on Highway 97 have some cyclists feeling uncomfortable and unsafe there. A trail may serve to bring more activity to this part of the community.

Future plans will include extending the trail from Summerland to Penticton and eventually expanding the route to more Okanagan communities.

This adds an important link in regional marketing and promotional opportunities for the Okanagan.

The larger benefits depend on what happens with the first portion of the trail. Once completed, the Summerland seg-ment will serve as an example of what is possible.

With this portion in place, Trail of the Okanagans organizers will have a show-piece as they work to expand.

VICTORIA – Why did the B.C. govern-ment suddenly slam the door on their old friend George Abbott, after spend-ing months recruiting him to head up the B.C. Treaty Commis-sion?

The instant media narrative, embraced by a shocked Abbott and then by NDP leader John Horgan, was that this was payback for griev-ances nursed by Pre-mier Christy Clark from the 2011 B.C. Liberal leadership contest.

Done on a whim, Horgan said after a week grilling Clark and Aboriginal Rela-tions Minister John Rustad. Clark is sud-denly a sore winner, lashing out, wrecking two decades of care-ful and costly treaty-making.

Like many instant media narratives, this one makes no sense and is almost certain-ly wrong.

If Clark was resent-ful about the roast-ing she received from leadership rivals

Abbott and Kevin Falcon, she had an odd way of showing it. She appointed Fal-con as finance min-ister to drive a stake into the harmonized sales tax, and Abbott as education minister to fashion a pre-elec-tion truce with the ever-hostile teachers’ union. Both com-pleted their unlikely tasks and retired as heroes of the party in 2013.

Outgoing chief treaty commissioner Sophie Pierre was as dismayed as any-one at the news of Abbott’s demise.

While the two were in transition meet-ings, Pierre learned that she was not being replaced, leav-ing the federal-prov-incial-First Nations Summit partnership of 22 years in a sham-bles.

Clark went further when questioned by reporters about the sudden reversal. The future of aboriginal relations in B.C. may or may not include the B.C. Treaty Com-mission.

“There have been some results, but four treaties in 22 years for $600 million is not enough result,” Clark said. “We have to be able to move faster, and we have to find a way to include more First Nations in the process.”

That $600 million is mostly loans, from the federal govern-ment to First Nations to finance treaty talks. Of every $100 spent trying to honour the century-old duty to sign treaties across B.C., $80 is a loan from Ottawa, $12 is a grant from Ottawa and $8 is a grant from B.C.

The plan was for First Nations to repay their loans out of cash settlements made to them for 100-odd years of uncompen-sated resource extrac-tion, which is now accepted as being contrary to British and Canadian law.

It was the blunt-spoken Pierre who first acknowledged this hasn’t worked. Some of the 50 First Nations stuck at the

treaty table have bor-rowed too much to go on, she said last year, calling for an “exit strategy” that forgives debt.

The probability of the B.C. government making this decision without talking to the federal paymaster is exactly zero.

I’m told the prov-ince’s clumsy timing had something to do with Ottawa’s late demands.

I asked Clark if her plan to settle land claims faster was anything like the 2009 attempt by Gor-don Campbell’s dep-uty minister Jessica McDonald to negoti-ate a province-wide

deal declaring aborig-inal title. Clark side-stepped the question, saying only that the 150 B.C. First Nations not at the treaty table need a say and a solu-tion too.

(McDonald now faces a similar legal gridlock as the Clark-appointed CEO of BC Hydro, trying to build the Site C dam.)

Pierre, a veteran administrator from the Ktunaxa Tribal Council in the Koo-tenays, made a prophetic statement when her term as chief commissioner was extended three years ago.

She said if Ottawa isn’t prepared to give federal negotiators a realistic mandate on compensation and sharing of salmon rights, they should “shut ’er down.”

Her advice may have been heard after all.

Dear Editor:Since last Thurs-

day, I’ve had several congratulations, com-pliments and other positive comments from family, friends and other Summer-landers on the Page 15 item in the Sum-merland Review.

All of which, in my view, belong to Carla McLeod for her car-ing and thoughtful interview and com-position.

One tiny addition-al detail, the nights of bombing that she mentions were con-secutive nights, Nov. 19 to 22, 1940. Near-ly 800 people were killed and more than 2,000 were injured, according to Prime Minister Winston

Churchill.There were four

additional single night major Luft-waffe air raids on Birmingham during World War II.

Churchill com-ments, “The spirit of Birmingham shone brightly and its mil-lion inhabitants… rode high above their physical suffering.”

Then, as a former First Lord of the Admiralty, he adds, “… no matter where the blow was struck, the nation was as strong as the sea is salt.”

The Clements family was pleased to be a very modest part of that.

Clarifying the rules about driving in the left lane will help to improve the flow of traffic, police say.

Provincial legisla-tion introduced last week will make it easier for police to ticket slow motorists in the left lane.

“Drivers who won’t move over can impede traf-fic and contribute to crashes,” said Todd Stone, Minis-ter of Trans-p o r t a t i o n and Infra-s t r u c t u r e . “This new rule makes it clear who should travel in the left lane and when, promoting safety on our highways.”

Motorists are allowed to use the left lane when over-taking and pass-ing another vehicle, moving left to allow traffic to merge, pre-paring for a left turn or passing an official vehicle displaying

flashing lights.The fine of $198

continues, but had been difficult to enforce due to the wording of the legis-lation, Stone said.

Cpl. Bruce Haley of the Summerland RCMP detachment said drivers in the left lane are most commonly seen dur-ing the morning and afternoon rush hours.

He said slow driv-ers in the left lane tend to frustrate other motorists.

“It promotes a lot of incidents where road rage will occur,” he said of the prac-tice.

“It’s safest and most effective if everyone stays on the right unless they’re overtaking.”

Left lane changes to improve traffic flow

Dragon boat supportOn March 24, the Survivorship Dragon Boat Team presented David Prystay and the Penticton Lakeside Resort with a plaque of thanks and appreciation for their sponsorship of the team. Prystay and the Lakeside came on as a team spon-sor in October 2014. Survivorship will be holding a recruitment open house on Sunday, May 3 from noon to 4 p.m. at the Lakeside in the Zinfandel room. The team would like to invite all cancer survivors and their supporters interested in learning the sport of dragon boating and being part of a recreational team.

Good news for BC anglers: The 2015-17 Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis is here.

A couple of the vitamin lines we carry at Pharmasave have launched new joint health products containing NEM (Natural Eggshell Membrane). What they haven’t communicated well was just what NEM does.Simply put, Natural Eggshell Membrane contains the same nutrients as the cartilage found in our joints in a naturally occurring form. Jamieson Laboratories produced their new “BodyGUARD Joint & Bone” supplement, which contains NEM and marketed “Results in as little as 7-10 days” which is a great improvement upon other Glucosamine supplements which may only show a benefit 4 weeks after you start using it.There are other companies with NEM in their products too (Webber, Natural Factors, Lorna Vanderhaeghe) but until I understood why we should take it, it was difficult to recommend. The take-away from this is NEM is a quickly absorbed and effective joint health supplement which rapidly reduces joint pain and supports strong bones and is a lot more pleasant to take in supplement form than eating egg shells and their attached membranes (gets a little sharp for the gumline).Give NEM products a try if you’re suffering from osteoarthritis and inflammation leading to joint pain. Also, talk to the Live Well Team at Pharmasave about which joint health products might work for you.

Scientists with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada are examining the benefits of lingonber-ries.

Dr. Kelly Ross, a research scientist at the Pacific Agri-Food Research Cen-tre in Summerland, is researching the health benefits of the red berries.

Lingonberries are similar to cranberries, but have a slightly tart, less bitter fla-vour.

Ross said her research shows nutri-tional benefits from lingonberries.

They are high in antioxidant levels, which can quash the damage from free radicals to cells impli-cated in the onset of many chronic dis-eases.

R e s e a r c h e r s believe the high lev-els of antioxidants in lingonberries can help to reduce the risk of heart disease and possibly other serious health condi-tions.

In addition to phe-nolic compounds,

such as anthocyanins, which contribute to

high levels of antioxi-dants, they also con-

tain health-promot-ing dietary fibre, vita-

min C and omega-3 fatty acids.

The fibre compon-ent also has anti-oxidant values and may have anti-dia-betic properties.

Ross said food con-sumers are interested in the benefits from the foods available to them.

“It’s import-ant to provide your body with the best food you can, and it’s important for Canadians to have access to responsible, unbiased scientific data to help make food choices” she said.

The berries grow in the boreal forests of northern Manitoba and other cold areas. If lingonberries can be grown commer-cially in those areas, they can add an eco-nomic benefit to the northern commun-ities.

At present, the demand for lingon-berries outstrips the supply from the wild harvest.

Lingonberries are grown commercial-ly in Scandinavian countries, but not in Canada.

Lingonberry benefits examined

Scientific researchDr. Kelly Ross, a research scientist at the Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre, is examining the nutritional and health benefits of lingonberries. The berries grow in northern boreal forests.

Top science stu-dents will show their projects in Summer-land later this month during the Central Okanagan Regional Science Fair.

The fair will fea-ture science fair pro-jects from students in Grades 6 to 12.

It will be held at Summerland Second-ary School on Satur-day, April 11.

“We are fortun-ate to have scientists from the various busi-nesses and research/educational facilities in the area volunteer their time and judge our students,” said Shona Becker, chair of the regional sci-ence fair.

The top projects from the regional sci-ence fair will go on to represent the region at the Canada Wide Science Fair in Fred-ericton, N.B., May 10 to 17.

“We’ve had some very strong pro-jects move on to the national fair over the

years and be very successful,” Becker said. “I’m excited to see this year’s batch of projects.”

The public is invit-ed to view the pro-jects and meet with

the students from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m.

The awards cere-mony will be held at Centre Stage The-atre beginning at 3:45 p.m.

Climate change. It can be overwhelm-ing. But Summer-land’s Earth Week Committee, repre-senting a wide-var-iety of groups, organ-izations and individ-uals, is up to the chal-lenge and they hope you are too.

The sixth annual Earth Week celebra-tion is about com-munity — friends and family getting together to learn more about what we can do to change cli-mate change. The array of events and activities are fun, educational, hands-on and thought pro-voking.

The week starts with the Trout Creek Community Clean-up on Sunday, April 19 from 10 a.m. to noon.

The meet-up loca-tion is the Trout Creek Hot-Spot pull-out. Other neighbour-hoods have joined the challenge. Residents from the Lakeshore and Peach Orchard neighbourhoods will be cleaning up their communities too. For more information contact Helen Ponce-

lot at: 250-494-9454On Monday, April

20, you can learn how to grow more food with less space, less seed and less effort. Join Toni Boot’s Square Foot Garden-ing Workshop (10 a.m. to noon) Call 250-494-4617 to register.

Wednesday April 22 is National Earth Day. Summerland will be celebrat-ing with two main events. Earth Day by the Water at Peach Orchard Park (from 1 to 4 p.m.) includes displays by the Trout Hatchery and Agur Lake Society that highlight the import-ance of our local wat-ers. Join historian David Gregory and a local biologist on a tour of Summer-land’s waterfront and riparian ecosystem. Call 250-494-0728 to register for the walk.

Also on Wednes-day, the Summerland Philosophers’ Café is sponsoring a discus-sion on, Traditional Ecological Know-ledge and Western Science: A Dialogue. Listen to local ecolo-gist Don Gayton and Sepwepemc know-

ledge keeper and teacher Henry Michel discuss the two dis-tinct knowledge sys-tems and how they relate to our manage-ment of Okanagan lands and waters. Then join the con-versation April 22 at the IOOF Hall, Main Street. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

On Friday, April 24, attend a free screen-ing of the award win-ning film, Elemental. Starting at 6:30 p.m. at Centre Stage The-atre, this film tells the story of three individ-uals united by their deep connection with nature and driven to confront some of the most pressing eco-logical challenges of our time.

The weekend’s events focus on family-fun activities. On Sat-urday, April 25, from 1 to 4 p.m., the Sum-merland Arts Centre’s Imagination Station invites children to use their creativity to make cork rafts or pin-wheels from recycled materials.

At 1 and 2 p.m., the Summerland Library’s Blue, Green and Clean program will include stories, songs and activities centred on protecting our Earth. For more

information call 250-494-5591.

Also on Saturday, everyone is invited to head on over to True Grain Bread between 1 and 4 p.m. to learn about the heritage red fife wheat and its importance to sus-tainable wheat farm-ing in Canada. All children participat-ing in this event get a free cookie and bag of wheat seeds to plant!

Earth Week cul-minates with the ninth annual Earth Day Celebration at Dale Meadows Sports Complex. From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., fam-ilies and friends are encouraged to take part in enhancing the natural habitats that border the sports field and connect to Prairie Creek.

There will be infor-mation booths on endangered species and habitats, invasive plants, interactive activities for children and much more. For more information email: [email protected]

Diabetes is a major public health con-cern, reaching epi-

demic proportions.More than 2.4 mil-

lion Canadians have

diabetes and up to another 20 per cent have not been diag-

nosed. This number is

expected to rise with estimates as high as 3.7 million by 2019.

Diabetes is a life-long condition affect-ing the way the body processes sugar from the food we eat.

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form, accounting for 90 per cent of all cases.

With this type of diabetes, the body does not use the insu-lin properly or the pancreas does not make enough insulin.

Type 2 diabetes generally occurs slowly and many people have no symptoms.

Most manage their diabetes with life-style strategies such as healthy eating, exercise, maintaining a healthy weight and managing stress.

Some people require medications such as pills or insu-lin.

Those with dia-betes are more likely to develop long term health problems such as cardiovascular dis-ease (heart/stroke), kidney disease, blind-ness and circulation impairment which may lead to amputa-tions.

Many of those with diabetes also have other chronic (long-term) diseases.

More than a third of those in Canada report having more than two chronic diseases such as dia-betes, high blood pressure, depression, arthritis or chronic obstructive pulmon-ary disease.

This cost of dia-betes is not only felt by the patient but also the health care

system. Those with dia-

betes have more vis-its to their physician and specialist, and are more likely to be hospitalized.

These costs are expensive but also directly affect quality of life for the patient.

At the Interior Health Summerland Diabetes and Nutri-tion clinic, we focus on “self-manage-ment.”

We provide those with diabetes the skills to help man-age their diabetes through education as well as assisting in setting and reaching their goals.

Examples of goals may include increas-ing exercise, eating more vegetables or quitting smoking.

We are here to support any of your healthy living goals.

Upcoming sessions on diabetes, nutri-tion, goal setting, foot and eye care are held throughout the year.

To learn more about these sessions or book an individual appointment with the nurse or dietitian call 250-770-530.

Carol Stathers is a nurse educator with Interior Health Sum-merland Diabetes and Nutrition program.

The Albetar family of five refugees from Syria arrived safely in Summerland last week.

M o h a m m e d Hussam Albetar and Nadya Alsagher, their daughters Bayan Albetar and Razan Albetar and their son Ghassan Albetar are being sponsored by the Summerland United Church. They are among 10,000 Syrian refugees reset-tling in Canada over the next three years.

Armand Houle, minister at the church, said the family arrived from their international

flight tired and over-whelmed.

A delegation from the church met the family at the Kelow-na airport as their flight arrived.

“We started clap-ping as soon as they came out,” Houle said.

A sign in Arabic and English wel-comed them and members of the church had gifts for the three children.

Also present at the airport were a trans-lator and the presi-dent of the Kelowna mosque, greeted the family.

“They were able to be greeted by people who spoke their lan-guage,” Houle said. “That really helped in easing some of their worry and stress.”

This week, they have been taking care of paperwork and applying for official documents.

The children have been enrolled in Sum-merland schools.

“It’s a busy time for them in the midst of this,” Houle said.

The church and mem-bers of the community at large have been sup-portive of the sponsorship.

Items have already been donated for the family’s home.

In addition, more than $8,000 has been received towards the costs of sponsorship. The church estimates the total sponsorship costs for the year will be $18,000.

Ta x - d e d u c t i b l e donations can be made through the church.

“It’s really been supported over-whelmingly by the community,” Houle said.

Syrian refugee family arrives safely

A safe arrivalGreeted by members of Summerland United Church and Kelowna’s Muslim community, the Albetar family from Syria arrived on March 26. The church is sponsoring the family of refugees during their first year in Canada.

“They were able to be greeted by people who spoke their lan-guage. That really helped in easing some of their worry and stress.”

SPRING

& Garden Guide

2015

Many homeowners take up gardening to transform their homes with beautiful fl ow-ers and foliage, while others do so to yield fresh fruits and vegetables. But garden-ing can be more than just a weekend hobby. In fact, it may be especially benefi cial for homeowners to surround themselves with more plants and natural decor, whether in the yard or in the home.Studies have indicated that gardening can be good for the mind and body. In addi-tion to improving mood and reducing stress, plant life and gardening also may help people have a more hope-ful outlook on life. If reap-ing the benefi t of a beauti-ful landscape is not reason enough to get into garden-

ing, elevating your mood and coping with depression or illness may be even fur-ther motivation to start de-veloping your green thumb.Home-design trends seem to be following suit, offering individuals more opportuni-ties to surround themselves with potentially therapeutic plants. Explore these emerg-ing and established garden décor trends to try in and around your home.· Living wall planters: A living wall planter can add greenery to any décor with-out taking up fl oor or table space. Ideal for outdoor structures, these planters also can be used indoors if you safeguard against leaks and dripping. A living wall planter is a framed device that houses plants in a man-ner that enables them to be vertically mounted to a wall surface. While there are commercially available models, you can create your own design and paint or stain it to match the existing décor. Use a soil-free pot-ting substrate to avoid the mess that regular soil may create.· Combining fi sh with gar-dening: Enjoy the best of two relaxing worlds by in-stalling a water feature in your yard. Garden retailers offer ready-made kits that can make fast work of estab-lishing a pond or other wa-

ter feature in the backyard. Otherwise, there are plenty of water garden companies and installers who can sug-gest a design and put in your desired water features. Add fi sh suitable for outdoor life to your pond. These include koi and certain goldfi sh va-rieties. Game fi sh are dis-couraged because they can destroy pond plants. If an outdoor pond is more main-tenance than you desire, consider an indoor aquarium with a combination of fi sh and live aquarium plants.· Creative furniture designs: Maybe you're a person who appreciates the unique and whimsical? Tables, benches and chairs can be built with planting channels that en-able you to have greenery and garden décor in one piece. Envision a picnic table with a cutout down the center for a thin row of plants or decorative grasses. This is a project the entire family can get behind, as the more creative ideas the better.· Improved outdoor light-ing: People who like to spend time in their gardens and yards may not want to be limited by sunrise and sunset. By incorporating different lighting sources, you can create a retreat that is welcoming at any hour. Although fl ood lights and overhead lights can illumi-

nate a space, consider ambi-ent and decorative lighting to create the desired ambi-ance.· Functional fi re pits and places: A blazing fi re cre-ates a cozy spot to gather on chilly evenings, but fi re pits and fi replaces also can be used as impromptu cook-ing spots for s'mores or frankfurters on a stick. You can purchase a stand-alone fi re pit from any number of retailers or build your own with patio pavers and fi re bricks to line the interior of the fi re pit. Outdoor fi replac-es require more work, and you want to hire a mason to ensure proper installation.· Enjoyable yard additions: While plants and seating may take center stage, some

people still want to have fun in their yards. There's an in-creased demand for yard de-signs and décor that can put the fun in backyard living. Bocce courts, ring- or horse-shoe-toss setups, as well as bean bag-toss boards, can be incorporated into landscape designs, giving you yet an-other reason to spend a few hours in the great outdoors, where you can experience a few healthy laughs in the process.Gardening and spending time outdoors are great hob-bies and may even boost your mood. Homeowners can explore the popular trends in garden décor and natural elements that they can enjoy inside and outside of their homes.

Once again the members of the Pen-ticton Flying Club are hosting their annual COPA for Kids event.

This is a national program operated through the Can-adian Owners and Pilots Association and sponsored by AIG Insurance Com-pany of Canada.

COPA for Kids in Canada has developed from the Young Eagles pro-gram that was cre-ated in 1992 by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) in the United States and now around the world. To date in Canada COPA mem-bers have flown over 10,000 junior aviators.

The mission of the COPA for Kids Pro-gram is to provide a motivational aviation experience focusing on an introductory flight in a light air-craft. These flights are provided completely free of charge to any youths between eight and 17 years of age.

The program con-sists of a 20-minute “ground school” where the junior aviator learns safety around the flight line, the theory of flight, working parts of the aircraft and also the opportunity for lots of questions.

In this area, par-ticipating pilots usu-ally fly more than 120 youths in the three to four hours beginning Sunday, May 9 at 9 a.m.

Youths and par-ents are asked to visit www.copafor-kids.org and print off the brochure and registration form. Bring the completed form and waiver to the Penticton Flying Club Les Abbey Way between 9 and 11 a.m.

Review

What does it mean for Summerland to have its own hockey team? Who owns this team and what does that entail?

Gregg Wilson and Tim Keilty are the owners of the Sum-merland Steam.

“The reason my partner and I got into this team was to keep it in the community,” explained Wilson. “This was the third time Summerland had a team in this league and the league said if it doesn’t work this time, Summer-land will never get a team again.”

The team is part of the Kootenay Inter-national Junior Hock-ey League.

“You do not make money in junior hockey,” said Wilson.

“This is not a money making venture. It is a community mind-ed venture. Our goal is to break even so that this team will be in the community a long time.”

Wilson believes

that in addition to providing Summer-land residents with a sense of commun-ity pride, the team benefits the com-munity economically. He said teams come here to play games and as a result stay here and eat here. Parents of team play-ers visit here and upon returning home tell others about our great town.

When the owners bought the team they decided that the number one thing needed to have a strong organization was a good coach.

“We were lucky enough to know Mr. John DePourcq. He came on as our head coach,” said Wilson. “He is an awesome gentleman and the kids just love him.”

Wilson and DePourcq both played hockey for the

P e n t i c -ton Vees in their younger years.

“ J o h n and I want the kids to have as m u c h fun play-

ing hockey as we did. If you have fun you play well and will probably win.”

Times have changed and stricter rules have cleaned up the game of hockey when it comes to fighting and using

sticks as weapons.“We don’t tolerate

it with our players,” Wilson said. “We have a player’s con-tract. The rules are in there. If they break the rules the conse-quences are in there. It’s cut and dried.”

Over the last few years Wilson feels they have learned a lot about how to pick a good team.

“We pick good

people first, hockey players second,” he said.

Hockey is about learning life skills as much as it is about playing the game, Wilson explained. The players learn teamwork, respect, commitment and how to deal with the public. They are also kept very busy with school, jobs and vol-unteering with minor hockey. This is on top

of the 111 practices and 69 games held each season.

The majority of players never make it to the National Hockey League, but the goal is to get to the next level and to gain scholarships.

“In our last two seasons we have moved nine players on to Junior A which is the next level,” said Wilson. “Two of our older players

are going to play for the Selkirk College team. They might not make it to the NHL but they’re going to school and doing something they love.”

As team owners, Wilson said they are responsible for the players while they are here playing for the Steam.

“I’m kind of like the kids’ mother while they’re here. I take them to the doc-

tor and the dentist,” he said. On occasion he has spent hours in the hospital emer-gency room with an injured player.

Wilson spends 50 to 80 hours per week on team business. This includes helping to wash 1,100 loads of laundry and sharp-ening 1,800 pairs of skates every season. He said the owners rely heavily on their volunteers to help out with the many tasks.

“Our list of volun-teers is huge and we need more,” he said.

He also said they would be “dead in the water” if it was not for the billet fam-ilies. “It’s a lot of work…they are spe-cial people.”

When it comes to fan support Wilson said it is getting bet-ter every year.

“This year our average was 191. We need about 250 per game to break even.”

If you want to show your support for the Summerland Steam by volunteer-ing or buying a sea-son’s ticket, which are on sale now at a discount rate, call Wilson at 250-462-0905.

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.

At the gameGregg Wilson, co-owner of the Summerland Steam Junior B hockey team, watches during the last game of the division finals in March. Standing is John DePourcq, coach of the team.

British Columbians saved 15 megawatts of electricity around the province during Earth Hour on Satur-day evening.

B.C. Hydro officials said the annual one-hour event reduced electrical consump-tion by 0.2 per cent, or the equivalent of turning off 680,000 LED light bulbs.

Earth Hour is held around the world

each year to encour-age energy conserva-tion. People and busi-nesses are urged to run off unnecessary lights, electronics and appliances for one hour, from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m.

Around the prov-ince, the largest energy reduction was in Whistler, where the electricity load was reduced by 7.2 per cent. In Invermere, the reduction was 6.7 per cent.

The reduction in Summerland was 0.5 per cent.

Energy use drops during Earth Hour

One of the won-derful things about spring, in addition to daffodils, the arrowroot balsam root sunflowers on Giant’s Head and the orchards beginning to blossom is the arrival of spring concerts.

So far we’ve had a mariachi band and Anything Goes, the annual spring concert by The Tune Agers.

At the end of April, Musaic Vocal Ensem-ble will present their annual spring con-cert.

Musaic Vocal Ensemble has been busy over the win-ter preparing their spring concert and they are now ready to Rise Again in song.

You are invited to

join them at St John’s Lutheran Church on Sunday, April 26 when they present an incredible array of vocal selections chosen by their direc-tor, Tracy Stuchbery.

This concert will feature a rich mix of music, in five differ-ent languages includ-ing: Baba Yetu; Wood-smoke and Oranges; Ubi Caritas; Can-tique de Jean Racine; Johann Sebastian Bach’s O Jesu Christ, meins Lebens Licht; and We Rise Again. This is just a small selection of the music you will hear.

They will also be joined by some guests including the Penticton Acad-emy of Music Youth

Choir, as well as a string section con-sisting of Elizabeth Lupton, John Suder-man, Sarah Anderson and Olivia Walsh.

Tickets are now on sale at James on Kelly and from any Musaic member.

It will be an excit-ing afternoon of great music so get your tickets early.

As I mentioned last week, we have some great live theatre as well.

Shooting Star, a bittersweet roman-tic comedy about the middle days of our lives, opens next Thursday, April 9 at the Cannery Stage and later in the month the Penticton Cham-ber Theatre, who are

well-known for their annual productions of Shakespeare, will be presenting Twelve Angry Jurors at the Shatford Centre.

Speaking of the Bard, 2015 is the 15th year for the Goodwill Shakespeare Festival.

Every May approximately two

hundred teenagers from all over B.C. attend this wonder-ful event and study a variety of acting skills.

They are able to do so because volunteers from our community provide them a place to sleep and a break-fast.

If you think you could provide space for some visiting thespians on May 6, 7 and 8 please call Nancy Strachan 250-494-9871 or e-mail [email protected].

Injuries can be dis-appointing, uncom-fortable and frustrat-ing to say the least. At some point we will all experience a much unwelcomed injury that either slows us down or forces us to take an alternate route.

With most spring recreation pro-grams commencing this week and next, one may ask if they should still sign up for a yoga, pilates or fitness class if they are injured?

I turned to Mad-eleine Harrington to get her advice both as a former fitness instructor and some-one committed to staying fit in the pres-ence of arthritic pain.

Madeleine started Summerland’s most popular fitness pro-gram, Nifty Fifties, almost 25 years ago.

She was a teacher, fitness instructor, and owned a fitness cen-tre in Kelowna for 15 years.

At the age of 50, she moved to Sum-merland and rallied to create a fitness pro-gram for those 50+ years of age. Many didn’t think she could

gather the numbers for a successful pro-gram, and her answer was “Let me try.”

And she did. Within two years,

she had to cap the class at 50 partici-pants and add a second class.

About six years ago, Madeleine handed the class over and now instructors Lynn Ellis and Claire Waterman run what remains today as the highest participated classes in Summer-land.

Madeleine’s tips to move forward with injury:

Moderation: Con-tinue exercise in moderation when having pain or injury.

Adapt: If you can’t do a move, adapt. If you are taking a class, ask and the instructor will modify it for you.

Always continue. Never, never stop. If you stop your body will deteriorate. You will go from excellent condition to poor, to in bed, to totally immobile.

Work with your injuries, not against them. There is always an alternative. For some people it’s

yoga, for others it’s walking. My favour-ite exercise equip-ment is the elliptical trainer. It’s easy on your joints, it’s safe and you can get a good cardio workout compared to walking where your heart rate stays low.

Be a priority. Your priority each day should be to take care of yourself. Then you will be able to function well for the day, with each other, at work, with society and be a productive individual.

Remember to:o Confirm with

your family doctor that you are able to continue physical activity with your injury.

o Always inform

your fitness instruct-or at the beginning of class of your injury so they can adapt the program to your needs.

o If weight bear-ing exercise is pain-ful, remember that swimming is a non-weight bearing exer-cise and a total body workout. You can swim laps (or learn to), put on a running belt to run in the deep water or join an Aquafit class.

Brenda Ingram, recreation manager reminds us that, “Sometimes we feel that we don’t want to take a class if we are not 100 per cent as we don’t want to be judged. Know that people aren’t here to judge you, they are here to accept you. The Recreation staff is here to make you feel welcome and help you reach your goals.”

Three mornings each week people with a variety of health problems gather at the Sum-merland Aquatic and Fitness Centre to do exercises on land or in the pool. They are referred by their family physicians, guided by profession-al fitness instructors and supervised by a qualified occupation-al therapist.

A registered nurse is always on duty. The program is known as Recope, originally an acronym. Though most members can’t remember what each letter originally stood for, it was this: Recreational, Exer-cise, Coordinating, Opportunity, Physio-therapy, Enjoyment. But participants do know what it is all about and just call it Recope. The new tagline is, “Move bet-ter, feel better, live better.”

Elaine Sears has been attending for just over a year, hoping the exercise will help her gain greater control of her body. A brain injury causes tremors in her limbs. She is pleased with the improve-ment she is experi-encing.

Ernie Panich, who had polio in 1955, led a productive life from a wheelchair. He then discovered about 14 years ago that his arms and legs were weakening. Not being able to play the violin any longer alarmed him. Recope turned out to be the perfect recipe to deal

with his post polio symptoms. Besides swimming regularly, he is on the Recope board of directors.

Joan Guldner was in a wheel chair when she joined Recope 22 years ago. Recov-ery from a broken back, and then later a broken pelvis was hastened by the exer-cises, and she regained her ability to walk . As a senior she finds con-tinuing the exercises keep her fit at a time in her life when move-ment and stamina are diminishing.

Saty Devi Mohan began to have prob-lems with arthritis thirty years ago. Her doctor urged her to get involved with Recope. She did, and she found that regular exercises in the shal-low end of the pool helped maintain her mobility and reduced her pain. At 99 she is the oldest person in the program.

“We provide a medically supervised exercise program for people with various medical conditions,” said Jean Munro, who manages the program. “We have a land class run in the centre as well as the water program. We run a shallow end as well as a deep end class. In the land class we run a chair class and standing class focused largely on balance and fall pre-vention. We have a registered nurse and occupational ther-apist available during all program times.”

Munro explains the special advantage of therapy in a pool. “It is really nice to be able to move freely without fear of falling and not being affected by gravity so much.”

Vivian Beat-tie, chairman of the Recope board of dir-ectors, says Recope is the only program of

its kind in the prov-ince. Recope is a non-profit organization that is supported by partial funding from IH (Interior Health), client’s participation fees and generous donations through fund raising efforts of the board. The Summerland Health Care Auxiliary (thrift store) donates regu-larly. Beattie states that other places have tried unsuccessfully to duplicate Recope. They failed usually as a result of not having a solid base of volun-teers.

Moira Lipscombe has been a volunteer for nearly two years. She helps clients in the dressing room and offers support in the water. Watch-ing clients become more confident in the water and seeing their health improve makes volunteering well worthwhile to her.

Mitz Hikichi start-

ed volunteer work about 18 years ago. His laughter sets a positive tone in the change room, on the pool deck and in the water. The chal-lenge of working out efficient access tech-niques for clients who have major mobil-

ity problems is very satisfying to him.

Anne Schulte, a retired nurse, has been a volunteer for 20 years, said the friend-ly social environment at Recope lifts the spirits of people who are lonely and dis-couraged.

Mavis Billing-ton was enticed by a neighbour to join the volunteer team 21 years ago. She appre-ciated the basic train-ing she received in handling clients and enjoys seeing them recover their health.

Recope was organ-ized in 1976 by George Morrison, a local physician. The swimming pool was used as a therapy venue, with a nurse, physiotherapist and occupational ther-apist from the Sum-merland Hospital doing treatment.

In 1990 the program expanded to include land and water ther-apy, with 25 volun-teers assisting in the rented facilities at the same pool.

Recope hopes to have a website up and running at recope.ca within the next six months. Email [email protected] Phone/fax 250-494-9006 or mail to P.O. Box 1625, Sum-merland, B.C. V0H 1Z0.

Draw winnerSocorro Ducheck of Summerland won the South Okanagan Similka-meen Volunteer Centre’s blanket chest during the Okanagan Healthy Living Fair on March 14. A total of 50 new volunteers registered with the centre during the fair.

Recope participants swim into health

Exercise classFitness instructor Anna Lock, on the deck, leads a deep-end exercise class at Recope. The program offers pool sessions and dry land training.

Well-known natur-alist and author Dick Cannings will be the guest speaker follow-ing the Okanagan Similkameen Parks Society’s annual gen-eral meeting on April 17 at 7 p.m.

Based on his award-winning book British Columbia: A Natural History, newly published in a revised third edi-tion, Cannings’s pres-entation will include intriguing, in-depth stories about life in our province’s diverse ecosystems.

“Dick was born and raised in the south Okanagan in a family keenly interested in natural history,” said Ian Graham, chair of the parks society. “Over the years, the Cannings family has contributed greatly to the public’s know-ledge of that his-tory. Our society is therefore particularly pleased that Dick will be our guest speaker as we celebrate our 50th AGM.”

Cannings has pro-duced regular radio items on natural his-

t o r y themes for CBC a n d t a u g h t c o n -tinuing educa-t i o n courses on bird-ing and nature.

He has also led about 50 natural his-tory tours to des-tinations around the world including Asia, Africa, South Amer-ica and Australia.

Cannings works

part-time for Bird Studies Canada, where he co-ordin-ates Canadian Christ-mas Bird Counts, the eBird program and the British Columbia Owl Survey. He also does consulting work on species at risk in the Okanagan Valley.

The meeting and presentation will be held at Centre Stage Theatre. Admission is free; donations are welcome. For more information call 250-494-8343 or visit oka-nagansimilkameen-parkssociety.ca.

Summerland Review Thursday, April 2, 2015 www.summerlandreview.com 17

With great sadness we announce the passing of Freda Storey on March 25, 2015 in White-horse, Yukon. Born in London, England in 1922, Freda was a Meteorological Officer in the WAAF during WWII, and emigrated to Canada with her family in 1955. She was an active member of the community of Summer-land, B.C. for over fifty years. In 2007, she moved to Whitehorse to be near her family, and she happily settled into life in the north. We will miss her great spirit and athleticism, her love of lively music, her very creative imagination, and her readiness to laugh even when life became more difficult for her. She was predeceased by her husband Ken and her daughter Janet, but leaves children Da-vid, Gina, and Alan, eleven grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren. A service will be held at the Whitehorse United Church on April 16, 2015 at 1pm.

Freda Storey

Laura Jane Richardson (nee Schmidt)

April 30, 1959 - March 26, 2015 Laura passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with brain cancer. She was a wonderful mother to Jessica (Jamie Hann) and grandmother to Jayce of Beaumont, AB. Laura is survived by her parents Clifford and MaryAnn Schmidt of Summerland, her sister and best friend Barbara Schmidt of Penticton as well as Elizabeth Harris of Calgary. Our deepest thanks to the staff of Moog and Friends, and Dr. Tim Phillips for their dedicated care during this dif cult time. Laura requested no service. She will be loved and remembered by her family, friends and the clients she served.

God saw you getting tiredWhen a cure was not to be

So He wrapped His arms around youAnd whispered “Come to Me.”

You didn’t deserve what you went throughAnd so He gave you rest.

God’s garden must be beautifulHe only takes the best.

IN MEMORY OF JOAN DOREEN WOITTE

Klaus-Peter Fellenz (MD, FRCPC, FAAP)

Mar 2, 1930 - Feb 20, 2015It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Klaus-Peter Fellenz. He will be greatly missed by his wife Elaine, his children Hanns, Mathias, Suzanne, Roswitha and Justin, their spouses Catherine, Lora and Bruce, and step-sons Rory and Nicholas. He was a proud and loving “Opa” to 11 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren, who now live in BC, Alberta and Ontario. Following his father and grandfather, Klaus-Peter obtained his medical degree in Germany. He then traveled to the United States in 1955, practicing medicine in New York, Toledo, and Atlanta, where he completed his specialty training as a paediatrician. He attained his Paediatric Cardiology specialization at UBC after immigrating to Canada in 1959. He eventually settled in Kamloops in 1961 where he lived and worked for nearly 50 years. His passion for children’s health and well-being was central in his role as a Paediatrician, and also in his many years of service on the Kamloops School Board where he took a leadership role in the healthy children programmes. Elaine and Klaus moved to Summerland in 2009 when Elaine became the United Church Minister in Peachland. Klaus enjoyed reading, and riding his beloved scooter around the countryside and to local wineries in Summerland so much that he had to replace the original one.Klaus-Peter was a pioneer in paediatric cardiology, and his legacy lives on in the hundreds of people who would not have survived had it not been for his skill and commitment to his patients.

A service will be held in his memory at the Peachland United Church, on Saturday, April

11, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. If you have memories that you would like to share, please send them to
