Committee will create strategy to enhance arts and culture

John Arendt

A task force has been formed to develop a cultural plan for the community.

“It is important to have a cultural plan in place, since culture is such a significant aspect of our com-munity and a major part of our strategic plan,” Mayor Peter Waterman said.

“Cultural planning is vital to the develop-ment and mainten-ance of a successful, unique, creative and sustainable commun-ity that is attractive for people to work, live and visit.”

The plan will shape the m u n i c i -p a l i t y ’ s approach to cul-t u r a l develop-ment.

O n Monday evening, council adopted the terms of reference for the Cultural Plan Task Force.

The planning pro-cess will include exten-sive public involve-ment, allowing all residents the oppor-tunity to provide their input and participate in the development of the plan.

Council expects the task force will complete the plan within one year.

The 15-member committee consists of two councillors and 13 members of the

public.Public members

of the committee are Barbara Thorburn, Denese Espeut-Post, Dianne Hildebrand, Jane Curtin, Jean Evanishen, Ellie van Nie, John Bubb, Mar-garet Holler, Sophia Jackson, Linda Beaven, Susan Gibbs, Betty-Ann Xenis and Dan Dinsmore. Coun. Doug Holmes and Coun. Janet Peake will be the council representatives.

Meetings of the committee will be open to the public.

Waterman said the quality of the com-mittee members is impressive, as many have extensive back-grounds in various aspects of arts and culture.

An arts and culture

component is one of four pillars of the municipality’s stra-tegic plan.

Waterman said the cultural plan will help to recognize the importance of arts and culture within the community.

In addition, a vibrant arts and cul-tural component will benefit the commun-ity, he said.

“We want to rec-ognize that this is a strong, active part of our community,” he said. “Arts and cul-ture will benefit the local economy.”

Quesnel rancher Paul Nichols kicked off a cross-Canada horseback ride Mon-day to introduce a new generation of veterans to the public and seek their sup-port.

Nichols, who served with Cana-dian troops during ethnic warfare in the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s, struggled to control his emo-tions at a ceremony at the B.C. legisla-ture.

Accompanied by

other B.C. veterans and his wife Terry, a therapeutic riding instructor, Nichols plans to connect with 700 veterans in an eight-month journey ending in St. John’s, Newfoundland.

The ride includes stops in Abbotsford, Chilliwack Hope, Princeton, Summer-land, Kelowna, Ver-non and Armstrong before continuing into Alberta in May.

For more informa-tion about the ride, and to follow its progress, see their website at communi-tiesforveterans.com.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Canada vs. The USADo you believe we are becoming more and more like our American cousins? Well, in some respects their culture has been a very big influence on ours. Whether or not that is a good thing is a matter of opinion and for that matter who=s opinion it is.From a legal stand point, there are many areas where the American judicial system has encountered situations years ahead of the Canadian experience and as a result has been used as a guide by the Canadian courts in dealing with that situation.One aspect of our two legal systems will never be the same however, and that is the influence that juries play in creating law and awards. In America, a jury has a relatively free reign in handing out awards in civil matters. In Canada there are strict limitations on the amounts a Judge or Jury can award.The reason for this column? An article in the Canadian Lawyer Magazine estimated the value of all monetary awards given by juries in the US in 2002. The number was $283 BILLION dollars. Something to think about.

VICTORIA – The B.C. Treaty Commis-sion and its federal and provincial finan-ciers put on a brave show last week, cele-brating a “milestone” in negotiations for a modern treaty with five Vancouver Island First Nations.

A regional group representing the Songhees, Beecher Bay, T’Souke, Mala-hat and Snaw-Naw-As (Nanoose) First Nations have reached the “agreement in principle” stage of negotiations with Canada and B.C., after 20 years of treaty talks.

This is similar to the treaty finalized in 2007 with another five-member Van-couver Island group called Maa-Nulth First Nations. The Te’mexw Treaty Association agreed to accept 1,565 hectares of provincial Crown land and $142 mil-lion in federal cash to settle its historic aboriginal title.

Alas, agreement in principle is but the fourth of sixth stages. Now a platoon of

lawyers takes over from the roomful of negotiators to pro-duce the final legal text. It will be years before this treaty can be presented to the B.C. legislature and the House of Com-mons in Ottawa, if it ever is.

These elabor-ate ceremonies will never be viewed the same again after the release of federal treaty advisor Doug Eyford’s report last month. The Te’mexw event seemed to have an extra urgency after Eyford’s observation that much of this costly activity has become a job creation program for those involved.

These Vancouver Island communities deserve credit for set-ting aside their own territorial disputes. It’s more than most have done. Eyford concluded after a long summer of meet-ings last year that many treaty nego-tiation teams in this province and across the country show no such inclination.

In B.C. and else-where in Canada, there is a “conspicu-ous lack of urgency in negotiations” and “sharp divisions” between parties, most of which have been at the table for a dec-ade or more, Eyford found.

This is what has come to be known as the “aboriginal industry,” where lawyers and consult-ants have a seem-ingly endless supply of lucrative work, much of it of ques-tionable value. For some aboriginal par-ticipants, attending treaty meetings year after year is the best paying job they have ever had.

Indeed, a com-

mon feature of the province’s deal-ings with aboriginal communities is that their leaders demand meetings, and then demand to be paid to attend them.

This latest Van-couver Island treaty, assuming it is ever finalized, would at least in part replace the Douglas Treaties, signed by B.C.’s col-onial governor James Douglas in the 1850s.

These treaties around Fort Victoria were quickly con-cluded if nothing else. The Beecher Bay Band was paid 45 pounds, 10 shillings for most of Sooke and another 43 pounds and change for its Metchosin territory.

One of the biggest missing pieces in the latest agreement in principle is the share of federally-regu-lated fisheries. This has been a theme of B.C. Treaty Commis-sion reports in recent years, as Ottawa holds up treaties for years because it is unable or unwilling to offer shares of sal-mon in particular.

Hunting and fishing rights are acknowledged even in historic treaties, and reaffirmed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Shar-ing these rights while maintaining conserv-ation of fish stocks has been more than Ottawa, and in some cases neighbouring aboriginal commun-ities, have been able to manage.

Eyford’s findings, and the B.C. govern-ment’s sudden refus-al to keep staffing a B.C. Treaty Commis-sion that shows so little progress, have sent one overdue message.

If participants aren’t prepared to make real comprom-ises and show a will-ingness to conclude agreements rather than drag them out, they should leave and come back when they are ready to do so.

YOUR VIEWS

Summerland’s arts and cultural components will receive some special recognition as a task force has been formed to develop a community cultural plan.

The 15-member task force, announced at the municipal council meeting on Monday evening, will develop the plan in consultation with the rest of the com-munity.

For years Summerland has had a vibrant arts and cultural presence and a reputation for its local arts.

Paintings by Irvine Adams and plays by George Ryga have received critical acclaim around the world.

Summerland is home to a number of acclaimed artists, while others from the community have gone on to establish themselves in the arts in Canada, the U.S. and Europe.

Summerland’s arts and culture sec-tor also benefits the community as a whole.

Events such as the annual Good Will Shakespeare Festival help to bring visitors from around the province to Summerland.

The effects of bringing visitors to the community are in addition to any benefits or quality of life enhancements resulting from a vibrant arts and cultural compon-ent.

The municipality has been recognizing the value of arts and culture.

Earlier this year, when council’s stra-tegic plan was presented, arts and culture was included as one of four pillars in the plan.

While it is easy to recognize the value of arts and culture, defining a cultural plan which accurately represents the community will be a much more difficult task.

It will require participation and input from the entire community, not just from those involved in the arts.

Over the next year, as work progresses on the plan, it is important to ensure the resulting document represents all Summerlanders.

Happy week-long Earth Day!Though Earth Day wasn’t established in 1909, Walter and Lizzie Verity likely would have agreed with the idea. It seems like every square foot surrounding their tent house was flourishing with flowers and vegetables thanks to good earth. And speaking of square foot gardening, be sure to check out the events happening in our community next week. From Sunday to Sunday, almost every day features an activity to inspire each of us to make a difference, support the environment and be nice to the earth. Click the link at summerlandchamber.com.

Dear Editor:If you have been

thinking of doing some major renova-tions of your front yard, and perhaps

going to some easy-care, little watering plants, you might consider taking some before and after pic-tures so that you can

enter them in the Summerland Fall Fair.

Some good prize money is being offered for the best

before and after yard renovations, if you remember to take some pictures of what your yard looks like now and what it will

look like after you’re finished.

Please mention this to your neighbours if you see them work-ing on their yard.

Also, don’t forget the other cash prizes being offered at the Fall Fair for excep-tional front and back yards as well as those

with xeriscape land-scaping.

Keep taking those pictures.

Dear Editor: It is estimated that

B.C. has the potential to develop 30 new mines in the coming years representing $30 billion in capital investment.

If developed, these mines would be the direct result of dec-ades of success-ful prospecting and exploration work.

Although very few exploration pro-jects ever reach the development stage, each one creates value along the way for British Colum-

bians through com-munity and regional economic develop-ment: i.e., jobs as well as goods and services purchased province-

wide. Exploration also

increases our geo-logical knowledge of B.C. and lays the groundwork

for future explora-tion. In a world that is increasingly results oriented, the tangible results from explora-tion projects can be

seen in such recent mines as the New Afton gold mine, the Mount Milligan copper-gold mine, and most recently the

Brucejack gold mine. Without explora-

tion none of these mines would exist and we would all be the poorer for it, not

the least of which the B.C. families who rely on these mines for their livelihoods.

Justina Harris Coquitlam

Mine projects could bring benefits to B.C.

Environmental discussion and film plannedAre you looking

for an “eco-happen-ing” event to help you celebrate this

year’s Earth Day? S u m m e r l a n d ’ s

sixth annual Earth Week line up of activ-ities and events are full of fun, educa-tional, hands-on and thought-provoking things to do.

And if thought-provoking is what you are after, then there are two special events that you will not want to miss.

On Wednesday, April 22, the Philoso-phers’ Café addresses the topic, Traditional Ecological Know-ledge and Western Science.

Join First Nations Knowledge Keeper, Henry Michel and ecological scien-tist, Don Gayton in a discussion on the two distinct ways of knowing, and how they affect our man-

agement of Okanag-an lands and waters.

Henry Michel, B.Ed. is a Sep-wepemc Knowledge Keeper and teacher. He has been active in Indigenous edu-cation, community development, and natural resource management. He cur-rently teaches at the SenPokChin School in Oliver.

Don Gayton, M.Sc., P.Ag, is a well-known local ecologist and writer, specializing in the management of grasslands and dry forests.

These two long-time friends have thought deeply about traditional ecological knowledge and west-ern science, and they look forward to shar-

ing their ideas at the Café. The event takes place at the IOOF Hall on Main Street. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the discus-sion begins at 7 p.m.

A free screening of the documentary film, Elemental, is scheduled for Friday, April 24 at Centre Stage Theatre, start-ing at 6:30 p.m.

This award-win-ning documentary tells the story of three individuals united by their deep connection with nature and driv-en to confront some of the most pressing ecological challenges of our time. Everyone welcome.

The Philosophers’ Café and Movie Night are just two of the many free events planned for the week of April 19 to 26.

Other events and activities include community clean-ups, a square foot gardening workshop, a guided historical walk along Sum-merland’s waterfront and riparian area, a

potluck dinner using regional heritage recipes, a symbolic removal of the inva-sive Russian Olive tree, a children’s pro-gram consisting of recycled art projects, story-telling, songs and other activities. The week culminates with the ninth annual Earth Day Celebra-tion at Dale Meadows Sports Complex on Sunday, April 26. All events are free.

S u m m e r l a n d ’ s sixth annual Earth Week Celebration is about community — friends and family getting together to learn more about what we can do to change climate change. With this year’s theme, One Community – One Environment, the goal of Summerland Earth Week is to encourage the com-munity make green choices that improve our planet, our health and the health of future generations.

Antonovitch collected donations for Canadian Cancer Society

Carla McLeodSpecial to the

Review

S u m m e r l a n d residents living in the Canyon View Road area may have noticed something different the last couple of Aprils.

No longer has Ed Antonovitch been pulling up on his bicycle and coming to their doors, canvas-sing for the Canadian Cancer Society as he had done faithfully for 24 years.

“I started from Canyon View Road at the bridge that went across the Canyon and went all the way up to the golf course and did all the side streets off of there,” explained Anton-ovitch.

“I did that the first week in April and people were always ready with their cheques. They knew I was coming.”

Antonovitch and his wife have lived in Summerland for 50 years. Arriving in 1965, he opened Ed’s Radio and T.V. He operated his shop until he retired in 1994.

For his retirement, his children bought him and his wife each

a bicycle. When April rolled

around the next year, Antonovitch started canvassing using his bike.

Since his assigned area was hilly, he broke it up, covering the area over the span of three or four even-ings.

“I never kept track of how much I col-lected but I know it was between $1,000 and $1,500 each year,” he said.

Although Anton-ovitch found it diffi-cult to knock on doors and ask for money at first, after a couple of years it became a force of habit for him.

He enjoyed meet-ing the people and listening to how can-cer had affected their lives.

“Boy, some of the sad stories I ran across, that cancer was doing to those people,” he said.

During his door to door can-vassing, A n t o n -o v i t c h also dis-covered s e n i o r c i t izens w h o w e r e l o n e l y

and just wanted someone to talk to.

“One woman always had goodies and coffee for me,” he explained.

Cancer touched Antonovitch himself a number of years ago. It motivated him to keep on with his volunteer work with the Cancer Society.

“After all the sad stories I heard it made me feel pretty good to be doing something to help,” he said.

Elsie Antonovitch supported her hus-band during the cam-paigns and always kept supper warm for him long after she

and the children had eaten.

Speaking of his volunteer work she said, “I thought it was a good thing he was doing….a won-derful thing really.”

Antonovitch is no longer able to con-tinue in this type of service.

“I had to retire because my legs and back wouldn’t let me do anything any-more,” he explained.

Although his body may be weak, his spirit remains strong.

“I’d like to get my bicycle and go out again,” he said.

The Cancer Society recognized Anton-ovitch for his years of service by mail-ing him a certificate expressing their appreciation.

Antonovitch said he was not looking for publicity. “I just liked doing it and riding my bicycle and that was it,” he said.

Although he did not want publicity, he said he did hope that by sharing his experi-ence as a volunteer with the Cancer Society, that it might encourage others to volunteer them-selves.

April is Daffodil Month.

It is the time of year when the Can-adian Cancer Soci-ety holds its national

fundraising cam-paign. According to their website, there is always an urgent need for volunteers.

Canvasser active for 24 years

Fundraising effortFor many years, Ed Antonovitch canvassed the Canyon View Road area for the Canadian Cancer Society.

“I never kept track of how much I collected but I know it was between $1,000 and $1,500 each year.”

Most of the fund-ing needed to spon-sor a Syrian refu-gee family has been received.

The family arrived in Summerland in late March, sponsored by the Summerland United Church.

The costs of spon-sorship for the family’s first year in Canada are estimated at $18,000.

David Sparks, co-chair of the church’s sponsorship commit-tee, said the support has been significant.

“We got an unexpected grant,” he said. “It’s made a big difference.”

By the time the

family had arrived, the church had raised roughly $8,000 for sponsorship costs.

Sparks said the family of five are mak-ing the adjustments to life in Canada.

The parents, Mohammed Hussam Albetar and Nadya Alsagher, are study-ing English at the South Okanagan Immigrant Resources Centre in Penticton.

Their three chil-dren, Bayan, Razan and Ghassan Albeter are enrolled in schools in Summerland.

“People have been really good about helping them,” Sparks said.

Spring is officially here and many of you have spent the winter months wondering if you should put your home up for sale. In today’s real estate market, it is important to highlight your home’s strengths in order to capture the greatest number of prospective buyers.

You may want to consider some of these helpful tips on home staging to see what a difference these simple principles can make. What is home staging? Quite simply it is the process of preparing your residence for sale in the real estate marketplace.

• We are all collectors and selling means getting rid of the clutter. Pick a room, grab a box or two and start selecting items to put away. Less is more when it comes to showcasing your home, so if you have 20 photos on the wall choose one or two for display and put the rest away. Depersonalizing your rooms will help prospective purchasers imagine their own belongings in your home. Pare down accessories and remove extra furniture to allow your rooms to look bigger. Clutter is distracting and you want the real estate traffic coming through your home to be focused.

• This same principle holds true for cabinets, and bookshelves and don’t forget the closets. Every home has one clos-et that you hope nobody opens. Getting ready to sell means addressing the architectural nightmare you may have created in there.

• As you begin to de-clutter room by room, find an alternative location for your belongings and try not to make it the garage. The man cave needs to be organized as well.

If you are thinking of selling your home you are thinking of moving, and getting rid of the clutter is a great way to promote your home in its best light and make the move to your new home easier. Get started, get it done and give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done.

Read next week’s paper for my follow up article entitled, “Let it Shine”.If you are considering taking advantage of the spring real estate market, give me a call. I would love to assist you.

Earlier this week Nazanin Shoja, BC Culture Days Coordinator made a presentation to people interested in increasing Sum-merland’s participa-tion in what is B.C.’s largest celebration of arts, culture and heritage — namely Culture Days.

This year Culture Days will take place Sept. 25 to 27 in all provinces and ter-ritories across the country. So what is Culture Days?

Culture Days is a collaborative move-ment to encourage awareness, participa-tion and engagement of all Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their commun-ities. Now in its sixth year, this Canada-wide celebration rep-resents the largest-ever public participa-tion campaign under-taken by the arts and cultural community in this country.

Culture Days will feature free hands-on activities that invite the public to partici-pate in the “behind-the-scenes” world of artists, creators, his-torians, architects, curators, and design-ers at work.

Through this exchange, artists and creators have a unique opportunity

to engage people of all ages in their cre-ative practice.

In previous years Culture Day activ-ities in Summerland have included shows at the Summerland Art Gallery, exhibits at the Summerland Museum, various workshops and other events.

In addition various artists invited people to their art studios and, of course the Kettle Valley Steam Railway continued their magnificent work of bringing railway history to life. It will be inter-esting to see what special activities take place this fall during Culture Days.

A positive spin-off of last year’s Culture Days, in our neigh-bour to the north, was the creation of the first arts council on the Westside.

Suk’wtemsqilxw

West Kelowna Arts Council, was offi-cially launched in February after many participants, artists and businesses alike, voiced their enthusi-asm and support of a westside artwork following last year’s Westside Culture Days.

However, before Culture Days comes Earth Day and in Summerland, the sixth annual Earth Week celebrations with many differ-ent activities includ-ing an historic walk along Summerland’s beautiful waterfront and Lower Town, an Imagination Station at the Arts Centre and the Blue, Green and Clean program at the Summerland Library.

The award-win-ning film, Elemen-tal, will be shown at Centre Stage Theatre and a Philosophers’ Cafe will be held next Wednesday at the IOOF Hall.

Come out, join in, learn, celebrate and help enhance this beautiful community of Summerland.

David Finnis is the publicity chair and president of the Summerland Com-munity Arts Council, P.O. Box 1217, 9908 Main St., Summer-land, B.C. V0H 1Z0.

Now that the ser-vicing has been com-pleted, Neighbour-Link has donated a car to a Summerland man in need of reli-able transportation.

In February, the Christian volunteer organization put out the call for a car donation. The vehicle is needed for a man who has suffered a brain injury.

He needs the vehicle to get to and from work and ther-apy appointments in Kelowna.

The vehicle, a 2004 Toyota Echo, was provided by an anonymous donor.

Summerland Tire-craft serviced the vehicle before it was donated. The labour was donated.

Jennifer McTag-gart, manager of Tire-craft, said the vehicle was in good condi-tion but required some work.

This is the second time NeighbourLink

has donated a vehicle to a Summerlander in

need. The first was early in 2013.

Car donation completed

Behind the wheelJennifer McTaggart, manager of Tirecraft, holds the keys to a 2004 Toyota Echo. The car was donated to NeighbourLink by an anonymous donor. It will be given to a Summerland man who needs reliable transportation to and from work and medical appointments in Kelowna.

Recycle

For the past 50 years, the Okanagan Similkameen Parks Society has worked to preserve land and water in the region.

The society had its origins in 1965, when volunteers worked to provide a secure winter range for Cali-fornia bighorn sheep near Vaseaux Lake.

The purchase price of the range land was approximately $23,000.

Of the 12 members of the original execu-tive, Four of them — Dave McMul-len, Katy Madsen, Brenda Liebert and John Kitson — were

from Summerland. Today the society has around 50 Summer-land members.

The society later worked at Haynes Point near Osoyoos and was instrumen-tal in bringing about the creation of Oka-nagan Mountain Park. “There were no provincial parks in the South Okanagan when we started,” said Sheila White, a member of the society.

Other parks include Cathedral Lakes in the Similkameen and Conkle Lake on the way to Rock Creek.

The society was an early proponent

of the value of the railway bed. Mem-bers produced and distributed more than 20,00 brochures showing hiking and cycling routes along the railway bed from Midway to Penticton.

The society has also provided fund-ing for the Summer-land portion of the Trans Canada Trail, which extends along 61.5 kilometres of abandoned railway bed to Osprey Lake.

The society’s annual general meet-ing will be held at Centre Stage Theatre on Friday, April 17, beginning at 7 p.m.

SPRING

& Garden Guide

2015

Homeowners know that the arrival of spring also marks the re-emergence of insects. While not every insect is harmful, if an infestation grows considerably or if insects begin to move from the outdoors into a home, it may be time for homeown-ers to call in a professional.

The Entomological Society of America points out that homeowners cannot count on bitterly cold winters to help control the numbers of insects in their yards. Insect ecology is affected by vari-ous factors and is not solely dependent on temperature. Furthermore, what occurred one year certainly may not

be repeated the next, as homeowners who have had various insect infestations in their yards can attest. One year a yard may be overcome with ants, while the next year it may suffer through an earwig infesta-tion.

The fi rst step homeowners looking to curtail insects in their yards can take is to determine if the insects they see are genuine threats to their lawns. Some bugs emerge and swarm early in the season, but then gradual-ly disappear as spring turns into summer. Other insects may come out of hiding if a homeowner is doing a lot of yard work or construction around a house. Practice a wait-and-see approach to determine if you really have an insect problem or just have stirred up activity.

Homeowners also must de-cide if it is bearable living with the insects. If insects are not doing any damage or if they can be controlled relatively easily, then you might be able to avoid call-ing in the professionals. However, if critters like termites and certain species of wood-eating insects are

invasive and damaging your yard, you may need to take action.

Anyone concerned with the side effects of pesticides and insecticides can fi rst try to remedy the problem natu-rally. Sometimes it’s just a matter of making a yard less hospitable to insects. Remove leaves and clean up debris close to the house, as these can both encourage infestations. Piles of rotting wood or leftover fi rewood can be a food or shelter source for a number of in-sects. Inspect water spig-ots for leaks and improve suspect drainage on your property, as these things can be welcoming to bugs that like moist surroundings. Remove standing water whenever possible to elimi-nate spots for mosquitoes to incubate larvae.

Natural remedies also may do the trick. Mint, bay leaves, catnip, and garlic can repel insects like roach-es and ants. Citrus can be a natural fl ea deterrent. Some homeowners have had suc-cess planting marigolds around their yards to serve as a natural bug repellent be-cause the fl owers produce a

scent that many insects fi nd repulsive. Thai lemon grass plants also can be used to keep mosquitoes at bay.

Remember, natural preda-tors, such as birds, bats, spi-ders, and larger insects, feed on nuisance bugs. Keep-ing these helpful predators around may be an effective and natural way for home-owners to control annoying pests.

If an insect problem seems out of control or if you need a professional opinion about the damage being done to your home or landscape, consult with an extermina-tor. Licensed exterminators

have the training and ex-pertise to assess insect con-cerns and create a plan of action that will minimize the risk to inhabitants of your home and nearby wildlife. An exterminator will know what it takes to treat insects and maximize the chances of removing the problem promptly and effectively.

Warm weather is synony-mous with many things, in-cluding the return of insects. Homeowners may be able to treat unruly bugs on their own, but especially prob-lematic infestations may require the help of experi-enced exterminators.

The nine candi-dates in this year’s Blossom Pageant are preparing for the final events and cor-onation two weeks from Saturday.

The 45th annual Summerland Blos-som Pageant will be held May 1 and 2 at Centre Stage Theatre.

The talent and speech competition

will be on Friday, May 1 beginning at 7 p.m. The coronation of the next Blossom Queen and two prin-cesses will be on Sat-urday, May 2, begin-

ning at 6:30 p.m.Karen Hooper,

chair of the Sum-merland Royalty Committee, said the candidates have been preparing since

October. “They’re really

good,” Hooper said of this year’s candi-dates. “Some of them started out very shy, but they’re enjoying

it now.”While the pageant

weekend is the big-gest part of the roy-alty selection process, the candidates have had other events

including a tea and fashion show in Feb-ruary and a personal interview with the judges.

They have also taken a written knowledge exam on Summerland’s his-tory, tourism and municipal politics.

Hooper said the exam is important since next year’s roy-alty will represent the community at num-erous functions over the coming year.

From May to Octo-ber, those selected as Summerland’s roy-alty will attend func-tion in Summerland and around the prov-ince almost every weekend.

Candidates ready for Blossom Pageant

Musicians perform at jazz vespers

Penticton’s Jazz Vespers services hap-pen the third Sunday of every month from September to April at St. Saviour’s Angli-can Church, featur-ing a variety of pro-fessional musicians from the Okanagan.

Larry Crawford on woodwinds and Debi Johnson on vocals are the host musicians who through the sea-son invited pianists like Justin Glibbery, Al Crossley and Don Ross; bass players Bob Gronowski and Stefan Bienz; guitar players Tavis Wier and Paul Henbury; drummers Guus Bakkeren and Mike Treadway and other horn players such as Stan Sabourin, Mike Surkan and Chris Manuel.

The April 19 con-cert will feature Rod Miller, an award-winning accordionist from Kelowna who will join Johnson and Crawford, along with Treadway, Wier and Bienz.

Classic French melodies, tangos and bossa novas will fill the air, giving the feeling of a French Cafe.

Rev. Mike Stuch-bury will conduct the service which is Sun-day April 19 at 4:30 p.m. At St. Saviour’s Anglican Church in Penticton.

Sunday April 26 marks the ninth annual Earth Day Celebration at Dale Meadows Park from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

This past week, I took a leisurely walk around the 1.2-kilo-metre jogging track that encircles the park. I passed by school children prac-ticing their mara-thon running skills, a mother pushing her baby in a stroller, brothers enjoying a bike ride with their parents, and some youngsters playing in the playground.

Just as I’ve watched my own three boys grow over these years, I was feeling quite nostalgic seeing the Earth Day shrubs and plants along the pathway grow, know-ing that my family planted some of them in previous years.

There is a sense of belonging and ownership in your community when you’ve helped to make it better, even

in a small way.Since my family

moved here in late 2009, we have been to almost every Earth Day.

I remember my husband working to move some mulch with my two older sons while young-est son, only four months old at the time, was strapped on his chest in a baby carrier enjoying the sights.

It is a great lesson to teach your children to take pride in your community, enjoy get-ting your hands a lit-tle dirty, getting down

on your knees to dig some holes and plant some trees to beautify the land we live, work and play in.

I take pride in the areas we weeded and removed invasive plants.

I remember my sons so happy with their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle faces painted from the volunteers that day. I remember the huge ball that they kicked around (or tried to) on the event day.

Earth Day is a per-fect opportunity to meet up with friends, meet local firefight-ers, community organizers and vol-unteers.

This year’s Earth Week starts April 20 and concludes with the Earth Day Celebration on Sun-day, April 26 at Dale Meadows Sports Park from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

With Earth Day Celebration begin-ning at 10 a.m, you will have time to

enjoy the education booths and inter-active stations.

There are fun activ-ities for the kids. Just look for the maroon Summerland Credit Union Tent at the far west soccer field. This is where most of the planting action will occur.

You don’t need to have any experience in gardening to par-ticipate. You will be shown what to do and there are many tasks you can help with.

The pizza party and draw prize give-away at the conclu-sion of the event is always a highlight as well. Mark April 26 on your calendar and share in our com-munity beautifica-tion. Be a part of our growing community.

Baseball players in Summerland are at the ball diamonds as they prepare for this year’s season.

Practices began early in April, with the regular season starting this week. The season con-tinues until the end of June.

Terry Rolston, president of the Summerland Minor Baseball Association, said 85 players are expected this year, with ages ranging from five to 14.

Summerland will have at least one team in each of the age levels.

Rolston said the costs for players are low.

“It’s a very cost-effective sport to play,” he said.

“All you need is a baseball glove and cleats.”

The fees for the season are less than $100.

Coaches are in place for this year’s teams, but Rolston said there is still a need for umpires.

A youth umpire training session was held in Penticton on the weekend, but Rolston said adult umpires are needed as well.

Some of the play-ers who have come up through the minor baseball program have gone on to play in the South Okanag-an Minor Baseball Association, while others have kept up with the love of the sport as adults.

“Lots of kids have gone from Summer-land Minor Baseball to play in the slo-pitch leagues,” he said.

Those still looking to register for this year’s minor baseball season are asked to contact Rolston by email at [email protected].

Members of the Taneda Karate Dojo competed in the 2015 Junior Internation-al Cup and USA Open in Las Vegas on the Easter weekend.

The competition is the largest karate tournament in the world and drew thousands of competitors.

Timur McNern, nine, won all four of his matches to win the gold medal.

His mother, Roza McNern, won gold in kumite and silver in kata.

Adam Doucette, 13, won his first three matches, advancing to the semi-finals, where he finished in

fifth place.Doucette was scouted

by the Canadian nation-al team coaches and was recruited to be part of the Canadian team for the 12- and 13-year-old team kumite competition at the USA Open.

He and his two team-

mates from Quebec faced teams from Germany, the United States and Mexico, placing fifth of the 17 teams.

Caitlyn Riddle won bronze in the 10-year-old girls kata and kumite div-isions.

Rita Becker won silver in women’s masters kumite.

Defending his title for the third consecu-tive year, Paynter won the men’s 60 plus singles, defeat-ing Graham Robin-son of the U.K. in the final.

Recope supportJen Munro, program manager for Recope and Vivian Beattie, chair of the Recope board, receive a $750 cheque from Jim Robicheau, sergeant at arms for the Summerland branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. The Recope program is offered at the Summerland Aquatic Centre on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. Participants are referred by family physicians. Professional fitness instructors and a qualified occupational ther-apist provide rehabilitation training for the participants.

In honour of Earth Week, the Summer-land Bakers Club is going back in time for their potluck at the Summerland Museum, April 23 at 6 p.m.

Participants will cook or bake like their grandparents would have done — using local and regional ingredients with min-imal packaging.

Summer landers will switch from four wheels to two wheels during Bike to Work Week, May 25 to 29.

During the week, Summerlanders are urged to get on their bicycles and ride to various appoint-ments and commit-ments around town.

“Even though it’s called Bike to Work Week, in Summer-land we’re really calling it Bike to Everywhere Week,” said Erin Trainer, a member of the Bike to Work Summerland committee. “We’re encouraging Sum-merlanders to ride their bikes to the grocery store, to a friend’s for coffee or to church. Anywhere you’re going — try using your bike to get

there. It just might be habit forming!”

Benefits from cyc-ling include exercise, money savings and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Last year, 25,000 participants in more than 44 communities and regions in Brit-ish Columbia regis-tered during Bike to Work Week. Their efforts reduced car-bon dioxide emis-sions by 207,068 kilo-grams.

In Summerland, 34 cyclists participat-ed in Bike to Work Week last year. They recorded 511 kilo-metres, burned 15,333 calories and reduced Summerland’s green-house gas emissions by 111 kilograms.

Despite those bene-fits, the most import-ant aspect to cycling is the joy of riding a bicycle.

“Biking is not only a great way to get exercise and help the environment, it also

gives you a sense of freedom when you’re pedalling away with the sun and wind on your face,” Trainer said. “It’s that same feeling you got as a kid, when you hopped on your bike and rode for miles.”

Each morning from 7 to 9 a.m., bicycle commuters are invit-ed to stop at a celebra-tion station for coffee, refreshments, mini bike tune-ups and daily prize draws. The station will be at Sungate Plaza, at the corner of Victoria Road North and Jubi-lee Road West.

On Tuesday, May 26, the documentary A Winter of Cyclists will be shown at Cen-tre Stage Theatre.

Bike to Work Week is held across Can-ada each year in late May. In Summerland it is organized by the Summerland Climate Action Committee.

Organizers hope the week will encour-

age more people to ride their bicycles throughout the spring, summer, fall and even winter.

This is the third year Bike to Work Week has been held in Summerland. For more information, visit www.bike-

towork.ca/summer-land.

Anyone with ques-tions or comments and those interested in sponsoring the event or donating a prize are asked to contact John Arendt at [email protected].

volunteered, sang opera aloud in the kitchen and made too many apple pandowdy to count. Th ey retired to

Penticton. A widowed Eve later moved to Summerland. Eve leaves behind 6 children, Alaine (Jack) McEachnie,

Paul Bouey, Clare (Barry Yip) Bouey, Christopher (Judy) Bouey, Kate (Peter Roberts) Bouey and Stephen (Sung

Ha Shin) Bouey, as well as 11 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren.

At Eve’s request, there will be no service.
