Fall Fair flounderingStatus of gaming grant still unknown as organizers seek additional members for volunteer board

John Arendt

Organizers of the Summerland Fall Fair are waiting to learn if they will receive a large grant from the B.C. Gaming Commission for this year’s event.

The $20,000 grant makes up roughly 70 per cent of the fair’s total budget, said Tim Broesch, president of the fair.

Last year, the grant was announced in early March, but this year, the fair’s application was aud-ited and as a result, Broesch said the fair organizers do not yet know if they qualify for the funding.

Notification of the audit came near the beginning of this year.

Broesch hopes to hear from the B.C. Gaming Commission on the status of the audit by the end of next week.

“We have to get past the audit and have them deem us eligible for the grant,” he said. He added that the audit was the result of a random selection process.

If the fair is eli-gible and qualifies for the grant, the next obstacle is in assem-bling a board of dir-

ectors for the Septem-ber event.

“We don’t have enough people cur-rently to facilitate the fair,” he said.

There are a total of

eight members on the board, but Broesch would like more in order to fill key roles on the board.

“We are currently in need of a secretary,

volunteer coordin-ator, website/social media director, vice-president and two additional individ-uals who will work alongside two of our

current members for succession plan-ning,” he said.

Each position requires a commit-ment of two to three hours a month, except

in September when the fair demands additional work.

He added that only one of the members of the existing board has long-term experi-ence with the fair.

If a full board can be assembled by early May, the members will have to organize the event on a tight timeline.

The fair is held in September, allowing just four months for all preparation work.

Broesch is opti-mistic that a board should be able to meet this deadline.

“For a two-day event, it shouldn’t take more than three or four months,” he said.

The date may be pushed back for this year, he added.

The fair, which has been a Summer-land tradition for 105 years, is held on the weekend follow-ing the Labour Day weekend.

This year, because of the timing of Labour Day, other fairs in the province have scheduled their events for the same weekend.

“We would be competing with three other fairs if we keep our weekend the same,” Broesch said.

Some of the other fairs draw large crowds, making it dif-ficult for local organ-izers to book enter-tainers and vendors who also participate in other fairs.

School board trims $1.1 million from budget

The Okanagan Skaha School Dis-trict is trimming its budget by $1.1 mil-lion this year but the superintendent’s salary is significant-ly higher than last year’s amount.

The pay raise, approved in early December, raises Wendy Hyer’s sal-ary from $135,000 to $152,000.

Hyer and other administrators in the province were under a compensa-tion freeze which began in 2009. Three years ago, Hyer was released from that freeze, but she chose not to take compen-sation increases at that time, said Linda Van Alphen, chair of the school board.

“We decided to give her a fair raise,”

Van Alphen said.She added that

wage increases for administrative staff are needed in order to be able to attract and retain good people at those levels.

“Here is a person who is well worth every dollar,” Van Alphen said. “We’ve got the best super-intendent in the prov-ince.”

The school budget, which is yet to be finalized, has cuts of $770,000 and another $320,000 worth of savings in admin-istrative changes, as mandated by the provincial govern-ment.

Across the prov-ince, school districts have been ordered to trim $29 million in administrative sav-ings this year.

Reserve funds have been reduced in order to balance this year’s proposed budget, Van Alphen said.

Announcing: 2015 Rotary Shakespeare Festival500 young Shakespearean enthusiasts from Kimberly to

Vancouver to take over Summerland, May 7th to 9th

Theater has the power to transform lives.This festival provides secondary school students with the opportunity to meet and learn from a variety of internationally acclaimed actors, musicians, and artists. The Festival brings these world class performers, such as Baba Brinkman, Holly Adams, Aldo Billingslea, Bobby Bovenzi and many others to the four day festival in Summerland, British Columbia. Each May nearly 500 students and their teachers descend upon the small town of Summerland ready to be involved in one of the richest possible learning experiences. Although “Shakefe st” (as the students like to call it) focuses on Shakespeare, it covers an array of subjects such as theatre, art, TV and Video, vocal, writing, improvisation, costume design, set design, acting, makeup and directing. By participating in these workshops and learning about the theatrical process the students experience the trans-formative power of theater and the arts.The festival is a community event. Many Summerlanders participate by opening their homes to billet students as well as volunteering throughout the festival. Many of the local businesses provide much needed and appreciated fi nancial support and supplies. Throughout the festival students will act, sing, design, write and connect with others from around the province. It is hoped that they will be inspired to take their passion for the arts in all its varied forms and share it with others so that they will see the value of the arts in their lives.

Initiative by Rotary Club will begin in late June

John Arendt

Summerland will host a weekly farm-ers’ market on Main Street each Sunday this summer and into the early fall.

The markets will start on June 21 and will continue to late September. They are an initiative of the Summerland Rotary Club.

The markets will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Main Street from Victoria Road to Kelly Avenue, said Roch Fortin, a mem-ber of Rotary.

S u m m e r l a n d already has a farmers’ market each Tuesday morning on a portion of Kelly Avenue.

Fortin said the two markets will compli-ment each other. The weekend schedule will help to draw some who are not able to attend the Tuesday markets.

At present, the organizers have received support from some local farm-ers and fruit stands.

Members of Rotary hope to see the bene-fits from the weekly markets.

“Our goal is to cre-ate some economic vibrancy, especially on Main Street,” said Paul Barber of the

Rotary Club.Fortin said the

response to the pro-posed market has been an overwhelm-

ing show of support.While vendors will

be charged to par-

ticipate, the fees will be waived for Main Street merchants, not-for-profit organ-izations, groups

advertis-ing local e v e n t s a n d g r o u p s promot-ing Sum-merland.

Funds collected by the ser-vice club will go back into the community.

Sunday market in the works

Continued from Page 1Rescheduling the

date would put the Summerland fair to Sept. 19 and 20.

Between the fund-ing, the shortage of board members and the scheduling con-cerns, Broesch said organizing a fair for this year will prove challenging.

“We’re on a slip-pery slope,” he said. “We’re at risk for this year.”

If the funding is not received and board members are not found, Broesch said the community could lose its fair.

“The Summerland Fall Fair is one of the largest community

events in Summer-land and has been an annual event for 105 years,” he said, “however the 2015 fall fair is struggling and is at high risk of being cancelled.”

The Fall Fair remains a popular community event. Last year it drew more than 1,700 people.

Tree removalMayor Peter Waterman, left, and ecologist Don Gayton use an antique crosscut saw to cut down an invasive Russian olive tree at the Summerland Ornamental Gardens. This event was part of the Earth Week Celebrations to help raise the awareness of this noxious tree that is taking hold throughout the Okanagan’s riparian habitats.

The municipality is seek-ing creative proposals for a vacant municipal property.

A Request for Proposals has been issued for the for-mer RCMP site, at 8709 Jubi-lee Road East.

“Summerland is look-ing forward to having this vacant property redeveloped with much-needed affordable housing,” said Mayor Peter

Waterman. “We want to work with developers to move this forward.”

At present, the property is zoned for Residential Pock-et Neighbourhoods, but the municipality welcomes all applications.

Municipal council mem-bers and staff will look for affordability of the homes, the development as a whole, green

building practices, the time period for the work and the revenue for the municipality.

The Request for Proposal is on the municipal website at summerland.ca and closes on Friday, May 29 at 2 p.m.

Those who want additional information are asked to con-tact Ian McIntosh, director of development services at 250-404-4048.

The Vancouver media’s frantic cover-age of the Great Bun-ker Spill of 2015 has just about run out of fuel.

By late last week, the usually serious Globe and Mail was reduced to quizzing a U.S. expert who had at first told the CBC he thought the spill response was pretty good. But then he heard that it might have taken up to 12 hours until the leak-ing grain ship was completely under control, which would be not so good.

This U.S. expert admitted he has not “followed the Van-couver spill very closely,” and was basically speculat-ing. But that’s OK, because the main purpose of this media frenzy is to feed the established narra-tive that the Harper government is gut-ting the Coast Guard while trying to ramp up heavy oil ship-ments to Asia.

Yeah, that makes sense. A University of Toronto philoso-phy prof recently

suggested that Ste-phen Harper likes war. Maybe he likes oil spills too.

A retired captain from the now-closed Kitsilano Coast Guard station became the latest of a series of disgruntled ex-employees and union bosses to serve as the media’s go-to crit-ics. He contradicted Coast Guard manage-ment at every turn, dismissing them as political appointees with little operational experience.

His claims about loss of spill response capability from Kitsilano are ques-tionable at best. There was no talk of spill response when

Kitsilano closed two years ago, because it was a search and res-cue station.

Former B.C. Fed-eration of Labour president Jim Sinclair held almost daily news conferences as it closed. People are going to drown, warned a parade of union spokespeople.

It’s been two years, and nobody has.

Premier Christy Clark and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Rob-ertson were quick to summon TV cam-eras as oil-sheen angst spread through condo towers. They declared the Coast Guard response a failure before they had any real under-standing of it.

Unifor, the union representing Coast Guard employ-ees, has vowed a full-scale election advertising attack on the Conservatives this year. On federal budget day, Unifor protested the closure of the Ucluelet Coast Guard ship monitor-ing station. Similar stations in Vancou-ver and Comox are

also closing this year, replaced by a new monitoring sys-tem run from Prince Rupert and Victoria.

I asked Indus-try Minister James Moore, the federal minister responsible for B.C., if this is a reduction in service. He said 1970s-era ship tracking equipment is being replaced with a new system that has already been deployed on the East Coast, to improve safety.

“These fears were also raised back in the ’60s and ’70s, when lighthouses were de-staffed,” Moore said. “I remember people saying, oh my God, this is going to be the end. And it turned out to be complete nonsense.”

Unifor operatives rushed to the media again last week with dire news of a half-hour outage of this new system, por-traying this as evi-dence of a high-tech disaster waiting to happen. (Ships were told to monitor an old-school emer-gency radio channel

for that uneventful half hour.)

What the union is really doing is ramp-ing up its election propaganda, and intensifying efforts to protect redundant positions that are being replaced by new technology.

There was a simi-lar media campaign last year targeting the consolidation of Veterans’ Affairs into Service Canada offices. There are ser-ious problems with services to veterans, but union featherbed-ding would not help them.

The B.C. govern-ment is also intro-ducing digital tech-nology, eliminating hundreds of paper-pushing jobs in the process, with a most-ly realistic response from unions.

But in this federal election year, realism will be in short sup-ply.

YOUR VIEWS

Organizers of the Summerland Fall Fair must overcome some significant obstacles if the 105-year-old fair is to continue this year.

The fair is held in September and features local fruits and vegetables, can-ning, baking, handcrafts, arts and more. It is also a venue for performers and vendors.

The most immediate challenge facing the fair is a grant from the B.C. Gaming Commission.

The $20,000 grant would take care of roughly 70 per cent of the fair’s budget, but an audit from the commission, announced early this year, means the funding has not yet been approved.

Even with the funding, organizers need to bring in board members to arrange the weekend fair on a tight timeline.

Planning an event of this magnitude in just four months is a daunting challenge. The necessary bookings and preparation work take plenty of time and effort from all who are involved.

A fair of this nature is an important part of the community. It is an opportunity for Summerlanders to show their works to the community and it is an opportunity to celebrate local agriculture.

Over the years, the annual fair has gone through some changes because the community has changed.

Categories have been added and removed and the vendors and entertain-ment lineup have changed from one year to the next.

Despite these changes, the fair has remained a well-loved and popular Summerland event. It deserves to con-tinue.

The reality, however, is that any sig-nificant community festival or celebration depends on reliable funding and a pool of dedicated volunteers.

When both these factors are lacking, the task of organizing an event becomes a much more difficult if not impossible challenge.

If the Fall Fair is to remain part of Summerland in the future, the present problems must be addressed.

EDITORIALAn uncertain fair

Dear Editor:Over the last four

years we have had damaged vehicles and near misses due to baseballs being hit over the fence during Action Fest ball tour-

naments. Each time we

have been told by parks and recreation to call our vehicle insurance to pay for damages .

The last time this

happened we had a good Samaritan step up and fix the $300 broken window on my wife’s minivan and then charged the parks and recreation department.

I have emailed parks and recreation and Allan Mann (organizer.) Both have told me they do not carry insurance to cover such accidents.

This field is suffi-cient size for middle school kids to play baseball but not heavy hitting adults.

Instead we are told by parks and recrea-tion that we shouldn’t park in our driveway and advised not to go outside during these

days? They seem to have

taken the approach of letting something happen then deal with it .

Having two small children and vehicles we have worked hard for, this idea to me is unacceptable.

An easy fix is to rent temporary net-ting for the tourna-ment or use a bigger field, but every year it happens again.

This has gone

beyond accident-al into negligence. In fact I have now had to get the RCMP involved because it is inevitable.

I have also pur-chased cameras to record this ridicu-lousness.

I would rather just avoid the whole thing and just try and find a compromise but every year its the same thing.

Last year parks and recreation told us

they had a rule about hitting over the fence but it didn’t help.

My neighbour was just about hit and our van was nearly hit with two balls land-ing in our back yard where our children play.

I am asking for your help this year before an incident or worse someone gets seriously hurt by this.

Dear Editor:The news that

a second Grade 6 French Immersion class will be locat-ed at Summerland Middle School rather than KVR Middle School in Penticton was recently released.

It is important that our commun-

ity understands the ramifications of this decision.

On the surface this seems to be positive news — Summerland students staying in Summerland rather than having to travel to Penticton to receive French Immersion education.

However, there are other repercussions.

As a result of this decision, Summer-land Middle School will lose an English class. Summerland Middle School will be left with two English Grade 6 classes and two French Immer-sion classes. This pat-

tern will likely carry forward as students move through the grades.

This means English classes with a higher ratio of students who have various challen-ges in their learning.

We are left with an inequitable stu-dent distribution and

fewer choices in cre-ating effective learn-ing environments. All this in a climate where learning sup-port continues to be inadequate due to funding cuts.

In addition, it is important to recog-nize that this decision was made without

consulting parents.We certainly

believe in doing what is best for students, but it seems that the needs of English track students and their families were not a priority.

Was this decision really made with the best interests of all

students in mind?With our English

classes above cap-acity in class com-position, Summer-land Middle School will have very little flexibility in meet-ing student needs or accommodating fam-ilies who may move to the community in the future.

A school is not just a building. Summer-land Middle School is a team of profession-als who have worked hard to create a safe, positive, caring and inclusionary environ-ment for our stu-dents.

Eliminating an English class is not in the best interest of our school or our community.

We do not agree with or support this decision.

The effects from this precedent-setting decision are truly sig-nificant.

We encourage parents to advocate to School District 67 trustees to retain three Grade 6 Eng-lish classes at Sum-merland Middle School.

I was crossing at the crosswalk near the school when my walk-er hit a rough spot and stopped abruptly.

It caused the basket with my groceries to topple to the ground.

Council gave second and third reading to a series of bylaws amending the zoning and Official Community Plan bylaws for 4816 Nixon Rd.

The bylaws change the Offi-cial Community Plan designation from Agricultural to Low Density Residential and change the zon-ing from A1-Agricultural Small Acreage to RSD2-Residential Large Lot.

The bylaw amendments also include a covenant prohibit-ing subdivision on the property

unless it is in substantial con-formation with an attached plan.

The bylaw changes were the subject of a public hearing.

Sharon Mansiere, a biologist who lives near the area, had concerns with the design of the development, since the red zone for habitat protection is divided into two areas instead of one con-tinuous area.

Others in the area had concerns about parking on the cul-de-sac, by those wishing to access the park area.

Development planned

A zoning amend-ment for 2705 John-son St. was given second and third readings.

The property is zoned CR1-Country Residential 1.

A public hearing on the bylaw change was held at the coun-cil meeting.

The resolution is site-specific and will remain in the future, even if the ownership

of the property chan-ges.

The resolution was approved with Mayor Peter Waterman, Coun. Richard Bark-will and Coun. Doug Holmes opposed.

Zoning amendment read

A series of no-post barriers along a por-tion of Prairie Valley Road have residents frustrated.

The barriers were set up late in 2014 to improve safety for pedestrians in the area, but those living in the area say they have caused addi-tional problems.

At the municipal council meeting on Monday evening, Kirsten DeRosier said the barriers have blocked access to her back yard and have made it difficult to get in and out of her driveway.

Steve Karnish said motorists on the road are driving faster since the barriers were set up.

“It’s like the Day-tona 500 going down my road,” he said. “Somebody’s going to get hurt.”

Tara White said her driveway access is narrower than before.

In the winter, the path parallel to the road is covered in snow, she added.

Mike Holler said the barriers have made the road more dangerous since they were installed.

“They don’t serve a real purpose,” he said. “It’s a poor, poor design.”

In addition, the municipality has received numerous emails, letters and a petition about the road.

A resolution on the barriers had been included in the council agenda on Monday even-ing, but was referred back to municipal staff for further information.

The barriers will be discussed at the next municipal council meeting on May 11.

Trevor and Meghan

Brown have exciting plans for their first season as the new owners of Granny’s Fruit Stand.

The fruit stand will continue to sell fresh, local fruits and vegetables, ice cream, gelato, as well as Summerland Sweets syrups and jams. However, fans of Wouda’s Bakery in Penticton are excited that Granny’s will

also be the home of Wouda’s new Sum-merland location.

Extensive renova-tions are ongoing and they are scheduled to open in May.

Lauren Forsyth and Michael Hughes are the new owners of Grasslands Nurs-ery. They purchased the business from Toni Boot, who last year won the Sustain-ability Leader Award

at the Summerland Business Awards.

The new owners will be continuing the nursery’s dedication to environmentally sustainable practices, adding organic pro-duce to the gardening products and services they offer. Business milestone

Summerland, back in the early 2000s.

Since then the couple’s culinary travels have taken them to notable kitch-ens around B.C., the Pacific Rim, Bahamas and most recently Bermuda.

Now back in the South Okanagan, Clease is developing new menu items that reflect his passion for local ingredients and Farm to Fork cuisine.Reopening celebration

Summerland Den-tal Centre celebrated their grand reopen-ing on April 24 after extensive renova-tions.

Along with open-ing up their reception area, they’ve added more hygiene chairs to accommodate den-tal emergencies, as well as a new crown milling machine that will allow for same-day service for their

clients. In addition, Sum-

A fundraising event on Sunday will benefit Muscular Dystrophy Canada.

The fundraiser will be held at Windmill Garden Centre on Sunday, May 3 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with hot dogs and juice boxes available.

In addition to the Sunday fundraiser, Billy Boerboom, owner of Windmill Garden Centre and

the Apple Barn has been selling bags of apples through Nesters Market as a fundraising initiative. A total of 244 bags of apples have been sold, with money div-ided equally between Nesters Market, Mus-cular Dystrophy Can-ada and Windmill Garden Centre.

Boerboom said he chose to raise money for this cause because

close friends have a son with the neuro-muscular disorder.

“I saw the incred-ible effort that’s involved in raising a child with this par-ticular ailment,” he said.

Darin Johnson’s 13-year-old son Cole was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy eight years ago. John-son said treatments have been given to

slow the progression of the degenerative muscular disorder, but there is no cure.

His son has been prescribed steroids to help with muscular rejuvenation, but last year he reached the maximum dose pos-sible.

“We’re optimis-tic there’s going to be something that can help these kids,” Johnson said.

Next Wednesday there will be a Phil-osophers’ Cafe at the IOOF Hall to discuss “Why Cultural Plan-ning is important for Summerland.”

This evening with Gord Hume, author of Cultural Planning for Creative Com-munities, is an oppor-tunity for residents to hear from one of Canada’s leading voices on municipal government, sustain-able urban develop-ment, cultural plan-ning and creative cities on how Sum-merland can adapt the “fourth pillar of sustainability”—cul-ture—into our plan-ning, budgeting, decision making and why that will benefit the local economy.

Gord Hume gave the keynote speech to the UNESCO Con-gress on Creative Cities, held in South Korea in October 2010.

His speech was based on his book which offers practical ideas that can act as a blueprint for local governments wishing to implement cultural planning.

What roles does the creative com-munity play in our town?

Both economic-ally and in terms of quality of life. How do we shape and enhance our cultural assets?

We know that the Good Will Shake-speare Festival brings several hundred people to our com-munity each May.

Not only do these students learn about Shakespeare and the theatre, but they, their teachers and chaperones spend a significant amount of money in our town while they are here. And who knows they might just return for a family vacation.

The Kettle Valley Steam Railway, Wed-nesdays on the Water, the Festival of Lights

and Action Festival are other examples of cultural activities that draw people to Sum-merland.

Following right on the heels of this dis-cussion of the value of culture in a com-munity is the open-ing of a new exhibit at the Summerland Art Gallery on Thurs-day, May 7. Celebrat-ing 100 Years of the KVR promises to be an interesting show as it is a collaborative show that will incor-porate a number of artists and works in a variety of styles.

There will, in fact be a little bit of every-thing: Quilts, water-colours, acrylic, oil, pen and ink steam punk style, and comic book illustration.

On the Friday afternoon at 2 p.m., Ken Orford, the gen-eral manager of the Kettle Valley Steam Railway, will be doing a power point presentation focusing on the history of the KVR.

David Finnis is the publicity chair and past president of the Summerland Community Arts Council, P.O. Box 1217, 9908 Main St., Summerland, B.C. V0H 1Z0.

Forum to discuss cultural planning

When the X-Files miniseries airs later this year, the set design will be the work of a Summerland artist.

Janice Blackie-Goodine, a set direc-tor, has been selected to work on the set for the science fiction horror miniseries.

The six-episode event series was announced in March and will be a continu-ation of the popu-lar television series which aired from 1993 to 2002.

The series will be filmed in and near Vancouver, with the

original cast and crew.“It was one of the

first series to put Van-couver on the map as a film town,” she said.

Blackie-Goodine has spent many years in film and television, but did not work on the original X-Files series. Instead, much of her work has been creating sets for west-erns and historical films and television series.

“It’s a different genre, but it will be fun to do,” she said.

To prepare for the work, Blackie-Good-

ine first reads the script and research-es background and details.

Then, after meet-ing and discussing ideas with others in the project, she shops for the props and set pieces.

Finding the pieces can be a challenge because of the time constraints, although prop shops are able to build items she needs but cannot find.

The tight time con-straints provide a challenge.

Working within the deadlines and

time lines, Blackie-Goodine works 12 to 14 hours a day, seven days a week, during the production of a film or series.

Much of the film-ing for the six epi-sodes will be done on location in the Van-couver area.

If a specific loca-tion recurs during multiple episodes, it will be rebuilt as a set.

On Friday, Blackie-Goodine will leave for the project. She expects to have the work completed by the middle or end of September.

Mother’s Day is the one day each year when men, women and children across the country gather to honor the mothers in their lives. Though it can be challenging to fi nd new and unique ways to display your affection for Mom on Mother’s Day, rest as-sured that sometimes the simplest concepts are the ones moth-ers most appreciate. This year, look no further than the following ideas for some inspiration as you aim to make this Mother’s Day as special as possible for the mother or mothers in your life.

• Give the gift of sweet treats. What better way to high-light mom’s sweetness than with some delicious treats made just for her? Whether you decide to whip up some homemade confections in the kitchen or visit a nearby store for something decadent, mom will no doubt appreciate the chance to indulge on her big day.

• Make a meal to remember. Mom deserves a night off from dinner detail, and while dining out is an option, a home-made meal may come across as more intimate and heartfelt. Thanks to kitchen appliances that make it easier than ever to prepare gourmet meals at home, you can now make restaurant-style meals in your kitchen without sacrifi cing restaurant-quality taste. Present mom with her favorite dishand pair the meal with her favorite wine and make sure you handle all the cleanup.

While mom waits for dinner to be served, a soothing cup of tea can set the tone for a relaxing evening. With three temperature settings and a de-chlorination cycle for removing chemical tastes and odors, the kettle allows mom to quickly enjoy a cup of her favorite brew. These kitchen essentials are available at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

• Plan a Mother’s Day picnic. Busy moms may look forward to a break from the bustle of daily routines. An after-noon picnicking outdoors can be the ideal way to enjoy a special Mother’s Day. Plan an easy menu of foods that have portability. Pickup a cooler that will fi t it all! A refreshing fruit salad can be kept cool for about 8 hours. If mom prefers pasta primavera, the thermal container can keep it warm and ready until it’s time to enjoy.

Carla McLeodSpecial to the

Review

The Freemasons are viewed by some with an air of sus-picion by those who believe they are cloaked in a shroud of secrecy.

Despite this aura of mystery, the fra-ternal organization is responsible for much good in the commun-ity and the region — and that’s no secret.

“We are not a secret society like some people say,” explained Orv Rob-son, who has been a Freemason for over 40 years. “We are a society that has secret signs, which we keep to ourselves.”

The explanation for having these signs, such as their stance, grips and passwords, is so members can identify each other, no matter where they might travel through-out the world.

According to Rob-son, the sole purpose of Freemasonry is to provide fellowship and a way of life to individuals.

“We’re not a ser-vice club. We’re a fellowship, a frater-nity,” he said. “We are men that are interested in improv-ing our lives through our teachings and in making our world a better place.”

Robson explained that the Freemasons date back to the 1700s.

“We follow the teachings of King Solomon,” he said. “We look at how the craftsmen of those eras went about their daily work, how they worked in society, how they built their king-doms and how their kingdoms failed.”

Most of the Free-mason members today are not literal stonemasons, but are accepted as “specula-tive” masons.

“We work towards being craftsmen in our society, by improving ourselves mentally and looking after the wellness of our fellowman,” Rob-son said.

One practical way the membership does this is by funding the Masonic Cancer Car Program. The Grand Lodge of B.C. and Yukon operates this program in conjunc-

tion with the B.C. Cancer Society.

It was started in Vancouver in 1987, when the decision was made to help cancer patients by providing them trans-portation to and from their treatments, free of charge. This ser-vice soon expanded to other areas of the province and in 1998 came to the Thomp-son Okanagan region.

Dick Auty, the local coordinator for the Cancer Car Pro-gram, said their van is capable of carrying nine passengers. It is driven by volunteer drivers who pick up patients as far south as Oliver and drive them to the Cancer Clinic in Kelowna and back home again, each day, Monday thru Friday.

Auty reported that since 1998, 30,000 patient trips have been made, covering a total of 825,000 kilo-metres.

“Masonic mem-bers throughout the jurisdiction (B.C. and Yukon) fund the pro-gram,” said Auty. He added that the Sum-merland Health Care Auxiliary had also given several large donations to the cause.

As a volunteer driver for the pro-gram, Robson has taken note of the way the patients support one another and form relationships during their time on the road, travelling to Kelowna for treatments.

“When I’m driv-

ing I pay attention to how they react to one another and how they are so very posi-tive and they have that support amongst each other,” he said. “That’s the one thing I love about the Cancer Car.”

Summerland’s first Masonic Lodge was formed in 1909. The list of past masters, (which is the equiva-lent to a president or chairman in other organizations) is long.

“The masters of the Summerland Lodge are significant with respect to whom they were and how they supported Summer-land,” said Robson.

The Summerland Lodge has roughly 40 members today. They meet on the third Thursday of the month, September thru June at the IOOF Hall.

The Freemasons do not solicit for new members or ask anyone to join their Lodges. A man must come to Freemason-ry through his own heart and approach a known Mason, thus showing an interest. In order to join he would have to “be of age and of good standing,” explained Robson, “Ordinary men who have good morals and integrity.”

He also said that one would have to believe in a Supreme Being and could not be an atheist or agnostic.

“We are open to all race, colour and religion. The goal of

the Freemasons is to make good men, bet-ter men.”

the Freemasons can visit freemasonry.bcy.ca or call Orv Robson at 250-494-1504.

SCoReboaRd

The Summerland Orca Swim Club hosted their annual SwimMania fund-raiser on Sunday April 26 at the Sum-merland Aquatic Centre.

The SwimMania fundraiser (formerly known as the Swim-a-Thon) is an endur-ance challenge for all school aged members of the club.

The event started with the 30-minute challenge for swim-mers aged five to nine trying to swim as many laps as pos-sible in the allotted time.

More than 30 swimmers started the challenge at 4 p.m. with parents and relatives cheering them on.

By 4:30 many of the young ath-letes swam over 32 lengths (800m), with Isabelle Porter top-ping the girls at 49 lengths, and Peter Kunka the boys at 47 lengths.

“It was so excit-ing to see the young swimmers challen-

ging themselves,” said head coach Joanne Malar,

“To think at the beginning of Sep-tember most of these kids could only do a few lengths and now they’re swimming for 30 minutes non-stop.”

The event then continued with the five-kilometre chal-lenge for the older swimmers.

Thirty-two swim-mers embarked on the challenge (200 lengths in two hours), ranging in age from seven old to 17 years old.

Haley Berrisford, 14, completed the 200 lengths first in an impressive 1:09 and for the next 50 min-utes 24 swimmers completed the 200 lengths.

For one keen ath-lete, the 200 length challenge wasn’t enough.

Sylvia Mott, 16, challenged herself to see how many lengths she could complete in two hours.

Finishing off at 268 lengths she was 300

metres shy of a sev-en-kilometre swim.

D e s m o n d Ducheck, seven, was the youngest athlete to try the two-hour challenge, and fin-ished with an impres-sive 164 lengths.

Arlo Kast, Emily Goodall, Genevieve Jenkins, Phoebe Chal-mers were the other elementary aged ath-letes to compete in the two-hour challenge.

“Everyone of them surprised themselves and their families with their swimming abil-ities and determina-tion” noted Malar, “The vibe at the pool was impressive.”

The SwimMania fundraiser is one of two fundraisers for the Orca Swim Club — with the other one being the Summer-land Sprint Triathlon on Labour Day week-end.

The club has raised more than $8,000, surpassing last year’s total. All money raised helps pay for operational expenses and keep enrolment costs reasonable.

Orca fundraiser makes a splash

Every spring, there is inspiration in the air to sign up for one of the many wonder-ful community events, fundraisers or races. In January many of us tried to workout a little more and may have even picked a specific event to train for as an attainable near future goal. Now as we fast approach the mid-way mark of our year, some of these events we signed up for are right around the corner.

Many have asked for tips on how to train for some of these upcoming events, such as the Giant’s Head Grind of May 16 or the Giant’s Head Run on June 6. I interviewed Bob Isaak, 57, a local triathlete and road racer who has been a medalist numerous times in the 10 km Giant’s Head Run, and is an avid com-petitor in the Giant’s Head Grind.

Bob never played any competitive sport in high school or uni-versity, but he found

his niche with triath-lon and road racing in his late twenties and never looked back. His explains his per-sonal training was never sophisticated. “I’d just go hard my whole life. Now as I age, I can’t do that because I want to prevent injury. I’ve always been self-motivated. For me, it’s about disciplining myself not to push too hard.” Bob Isaak’s friends may describe him as a ‘machine’, but when asked about the Giant’s Head Grind course last year, he admits, “It was hard”.

Bob Isaak’s Tips for the Grind and the Giant’s Head Run 10km

Grind: Don’t expect to run it. Spend three days a week walk-ing up and down the mountain or at the least upper parts by gate. Practice on the steep trails as they are more demanding and that’s where the race takes place.

Grind: Get used to

the elevation. Find a steep part of moun-tain to do repeats. Go hard uphill for 5-10 minutes then walk back down. Keep doing that for an hour. That’s a really good interval workout.

Grind: In the Gym Bob recommends the Stairmaster as more specific exercise for the Grind.

GHR: In the Gym The Treadmill and the elliptical is a good alternative for injury prevention.

Practice the course of course! Do the whole course a couple times at a lower inten-sity. When you know the course you’ll be more comfortable on event day. Check out www.g iantshead-grind.ca for the route map. Bob runs from the Park Gate to the trail leading direct-ly to the top in 15 minutes. The aver-age person would be about 25-30 minutes. For running around Giant’s Head Moun-tain, be prepared for plenty of rolling

hills so familiarizing yourself with what to expect will help with your pacing. GHR map on registration form at www.sum-merland.ca.

Start training early. Don’t expect to be in top form in a month. Ideally, give yourself 8-12 weeks to train and if expecting results Bob recommends at least 6 months of training.

Progression for Injury Prevention. Don’t do too much too soon. Progres-sive training is best. From walk-running programs to intervals of easy jogging with

faster running. There are great training pro-grams online or apps for your smart phone.

Training partners an Asset. Try to find someone close to your level to train with. Partnering up will help with motiv-ation, accountability and as Bob explains best, “You push your-self harder and you don’t tend to focus on the pain.”

For Bob and his wife Caroline, their favourite adventure is going to the Rock-ies and doing day hikes. Bob looks for mountain challenges 10,000 feet and higher to climb and scramble up, like Mount Tem-ple at Lake Louise. No wonder he excels at our local races with his speed, agility and determination!

WILLIAMS, GARYIt is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gary Dick Williams. Gary passed away Tuesday, April 21, 2015 at Andy Moog Hospice House in Penticton aft er a courageous battle with cancer. Gary is predeceased by his parents; Violet and Lester Williams and loving Aunt, Eva Dick. He is survived by his brother, Philip Williams of Naramata, his loving wife, Susan, son, Matthew (Tammy) and daughter, Holly. Raised on an orchard in Naramata, Gary moved to Penticton to work at the age of 15. He wanted to avoid changing the sprinklers and pruning the trees! While working in a Penticton radiator shop, he became involved in stock car racing which was a lifelong passion. Gary raced his own car and won many trophies racing at the Billy Foster Memorial Speedway and Penticton Speedway. His boss and good friend Pat of Stevens Automotive in Penticton was instrumental in Gary earning his Auto Mechanic Diploma. Aft er leaving Stevens Automotive, Gary worked for the Corporation of Summerland for 25 years as the works yard mechanic and was responsible for maintaining the trucks, plows and heavy machinery in our community. Gary was a man of few words and a quirky sense of humor. He enjoyed watching all sports and participated in a select few. He was a fi ne fl y fi sherman, an excellent swimmer, a very good 5 pin bowler, a passionate stock car driver and an outstanding cook. A memorial service will be held 10:00 am, Tuesday, April 28, 2015 at Providence’s Summerland Chapel, 13205 Rosedale Avenue, Summerland, BC. A private family interment will be held at Canyonview Cemetery. Should friends so desire a donation to the Salvation Army, Th e Royal Canadian Legion or the SPCA are the three organizations he believed in deeply.

GORDON DOUGLAS MCDOUGALL A sharp mind; a gentle soul.

Gordon McDougall passed away surrounded by close family on April 23rd, 2015 at Moog Hospice in Penticton, B.C. He was born in Mason, Manitoba to Catherine and Allan Douglas McDougall on October 10th, 1927. He grew up on the family homestead farm - originally purchased by Gordon’s grandfather, Robert Allan McDougall, in the late 1800’s. Gordon was born the second eldest of fi ve siblings (Doreen Gilbart-Victoria B.C., Mel McDougall-Vernon B.C., Wesley McDougall-deceased, Wayne McDougall-deceased). Gordon had a love for the land and was an avid farmer with multiple talents bordering on the skills of a self-made engineer. He even took the old gas washer motor and made the fi rst motorized lawnmower in the district. Gordon worked the mixed farm with his mother and father; together, they focused heavily on grain production, cattle and turkey products; eventually he took over the farm. Gordon and his brother, Mel, were close throughout their lives. Gordon oft en covered the chores for Mel – who was destined for city life. Mel could always count on Gordon to fi x the old Ford sedan. Sister Doreen was very close to Gordon as well. Doreen took on farm chores and baking for the family. Gordon was always sneaking cookies… and dodging spatulas. Gordon was wonderful with children, yet never had any of his own. He loved nothing more than herding his many nieces and nephews as they camped on the farm – teaching them how to be safe and get the work done. To this day, they all speak about those profound early adventures.Gordon was both modest and self-deprecating. “Don’t go to any extra trouble for me,” he would oft en say. He was also quick to lend a hand, always accompanied by a deep and frequent laugh. He was stubborn on occasion, but always ready to listen.Eventually the farm was sold and Gordon relocated to Brandon; there he was able to overcome many health issues with the support of his family. He soon went to work as an electrician, testing for live wires with his fi nger!! Gordon loved to travel and eventually settled in the Okanagan Valley to be close to his siblings who had relocated there. It was in this lush landscape that he met the love of his love, Florence Arnott. Th ey soon embarked on trailer-excursions all across western Canada. Aunt Florence never had a hair out of place no matter how harrowing the camping experience. Finally settling in Summerland, Gordon and Florence contributed to the community of Summerland in many ways, forming strong and binding connections to many people. Always ready with a contagious smile and a kind word, Gordon was involved in the lawn bowling league and the Anglican Church. One of the major aspects of Gordon’s life was his relationship with Ramish Lekki and his family in the Summerland orchard home that Gordon and Florence rented for 20 years. Gordon’s farming background certainly came in handy on the sprawling apple orchard; Gordon was always willing to fi x anything, even broken hair dryers that Abbey made sure were broken. Gordon and Florence loved to dance the night away, have picnics by the lake and enjoy the stunning scenery of their chosen home. In the last years of her life, Gordon was an excellent caregiver to Florence, calling her “the only girl I ever loved.” As he himself later fell ill with a long and slow moving cancer, Gordon still enjoyed a playful banter with the staff of Dr. Peter Bennet (Summerland) who patiently off ered a helpful and caring touch to a man who never really complained about much. Gordon will be deeply missed by all those who knew and loved him. Carry on sweet spirit – you are free to join your travelling companion once more.Gordon, you were a wonderful person with great integrity,

warmth, and love for all those you met – carry on and remember the goodness you spread as you passed through

the lives of so many others. A memorial service will be held at 10:00 am on Saturday, May 9, 2015 at the St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, 9311

Prairie Valley Road, Summerland, BC., with Reverend Rick Paulin, Celebrant. A private family interment will be held at

Lakeview Memorial Gardens in Kelowna, BC. Condolences may be sent to the family through

The Summerland Review is proud to honour the hard working, successful women of Summerland and the South Okanagan.

In June, watch for a special section dedicated to telling their stories,in their own words.


Penticton Regional Hospital has marked the completion of a major upgrade to its X-ray department, while also celebrating the opening of a new student residence.

The South Oka-nagan Similkameen Medical Foundation raised $1.5 million in 2013 so Interior Health could update the Digital Imaging (X-ray) Department at PRH.

S ta te -o f - the -ar t digital radiography equipment was pur-chased to replace the outdated equipment in the hospital’s three X-ray rooms and the portable machine used in the Emer-gency Department and Intensive Care Unit. The upgrade is now complete.

An open house for the hospital’s Digital Imaging Department was held April 24, along with public tours of the six-bed-room Jobling House residence for visiting health care students and locum phys-icians.

Penticton Regional Hospital sees about 41,000 patients a year for X-rays. Shan-non Carver, spokes-person for the PRH Digital Imaging Department, said the community response to the Foundation’s fundraising cam-paign resulted in a top notch facility.

“Our new Car-estream X-ray rooms offer exceptional image quality, with improved resolution and lower (radiation) dose to the patient,” she said.

Technologists no longer need to carry bulky cassettes to another machine to be digitally read, leaving the patient alone in the room.

“The new rooms have state of the art capabilities, which allow the machine to move into place with only the push of a button,” Carver added.

“Most X-ray machines require the technologist to phys-ically move the heavy equipment into place, resulting in potential for strain on employ-ees.”

Tours were also held for Jobling House, located next to the PRH psychiat-

ric unit. The entire cost of

the new residence (more than $500,000) was donated to the Medical Foundation from the estate of Lloyd and Lota Job-

ling of Penticton.The factory-built

facility, manufac-tured by Chaparral Industries of Kelow-na, was placed on site in late February and is now ready for

occupancy. Jennifer Connolly Interiors & Designs and Chrystal Nohr Design of Pen-ticton donated sev-eral hours of time to help furnish the resi-dence.

It replaces an aging trailer near the PRH parking lot entrance off Government Street, which was previously used as a med student resi-dence for almost 30

years. Janice Perrino,

executive director of the Medical Foun-dation, said Jobling House addresses an ongoing need for a new student resi-

dence.“We wanted resi-

dent doctors, nurses, or anyone who was coming here for a period of time, to have a proper place to stay,” she said.

Many of us see spring as a time to tidy the yard, clean the windows and address any inside projects that need atten-tion. Not everyone has the time or the means to renovate and renovating is not always the answer to a successful sale. Why not maximize what you have by addressing a few basics.Savvy shoppers know they can save money by buying a home with good appliances so make sure yours are clean and in good running order. Leave the User Guides out for purchasers to see. Remember to keep those stainless steel appliances shiny inside and out. Prospective buyers may open appliances to look inside. Neutralize refrigerator odors with a box of baking soda and make sure you have cleaned the oven; don’t forget the lint filter in the dryer.Leaky plumbing and mouldy caulking can leave a bad impression on buyers, so take time to replace caulking and fix leaky fixtures. Replace burnt out light bulbs throughout the home to enhance light, especially in dark hallways and rooms with northern exposures. Clean windows in and out and replace or repair damaged bug screens. If you happen to be a pet owner remember that not everyone loves Fido. Consider eliminating pet odours and animal hair and empty Kitty’s box before a showing. New cabinet hardware is a great way to change the look in your kitchen. You can change the color of your front door to give it a ‘pop’ and consider new front door hardware if yours is dated and scuffed.It is tough to keep the kids rooms clean but it is important when your home is on the market. Don’t forget to remove soiled diapers from baby’s room.I hope you have found the articles useful and find a practical application for some of the information. If in the end staging is not your thing, consider a professional. Professionals look at your home with new eyes and can help you depersonalize your living space in preparation for selling.So whether you are planning to hire one of our local professionals or want to learn a few tricks to do it yourself, feel free to join us on Sunday, May 3rd at the Beanery Cafe, 13016 Victoria Rd. N in Summerland at 3 PM and local professionals will get you up to speed on the latest techniques in staging to sell. Tracy & John Kelly of True Colors Paint & Window Coverings in Penticton are providing the product on display as well as one of two door prizes.
