Heritage commission requests designation to preserve historic church

John Arendt

Members of Sum-merland’s Heritage Advisory Commis-sion want to ensure a church building in Lowertown is pro-

tected.The Lakeside Pres-

byterian Church building, at the corner of Butler and Shaugh-nessy Avenues, will soon be put up for sale now that it is no longer being used as a church.

The church build-ing, more than a cen-tury old, has been recognized for its heritage value.

Construction on the church build-ing began in 1910. In 1926, a pipe organ was added to the 225-seat building.

On Thursday, the commission dis-cussed options for the building at its regular meeting.

At present, it is one of two buildings in Summerland which has been given herit-

age designation. The other is the former George Ryga house on Caldwell Street.

While the church building was given the heritage designa-tion in 1984, the rules governing such desig-nation have changed since that time.

David Gregory, a member of the com-mission, said the owner of a building

with heritage desig-nation is still able to upgrade the building for health and safety reasons, but there are restrictions to the changes which may be done.

In addition to the heritage designation, the municipality has a list of 65 proper-ties which are con-sidered to have herit-age value. While this

list identifies heritage properties, it does not provide protection to these buildings.

The municipality is also able to create a community heritage registry. This gives the municipality the power to temporar-ily withhold permits to alter or demolish properties with his-torical value.

Vital Signs data collected every two years

The Community Foundation of the South Okanagan is looking for input for its next survey of the region.

The Vital Signs survey has been con-ducted in the region every two years since 2011.

It is an analysis of the well-being of communities in the region, measuring 11 areas.

“It’s a really broad analysis of what it means to have a

healthy community,” said Aaron McRann, executive director of Community Foun-dation of the South

Okanagan.The survey will

be released in early October.

McRann said the results will help the foundation as it makes decisions about providing funding within the

region.Each year, the

foundation provides more than $325,000 for the region.

T h e f o u n -d a t i o n receives funding requests f o r between $400,000

and $600,000 annu-ally.

McRann said responses to this year’s survey are already higher than in the 2013 survey, but added that he would like to see more responses from

Summerland.At present, the

foundation has received four times as many survey responses from Oli-ver as from Summer-land.

“The more responses we get the more accurate the information will be,” he said.

He would like to see at least 1,600 responses by the time the survey data col-lection is completed next month.

A link to the Vital Signs survey can be found on the Com-munity Foundations website at cfso.net.

Responses sought for regional survey

“It’s a really broad analy-sis of what it means to have a healthy commun-ity.”

Continued from Page 1Gregory suggested

adding a heritage zoning for the build-ing. He said such a zoning would pro-vide protection and would increase its value.

The commission recommended that the municipality begin the process of

creating a heritage conservation bylaw to protect this build-ing as a heritage property.

The commission also recommended that the municipal-ity develop a formal heritage program to protect buildings, sites and trees with heritage value.

Heritage zoning suggested for site protection

Police urge owners to lock vehiclesFollowing a series of thefts from vehicles

and thefts of vehicles, police in Summerland are urging motorists to take precautions.

“Please roll up your windows, lock your doors and don’t leave your keys inside the vehicle,” said Sgt. Stephane Lacroix of the Summerland RCMP detachment.

He said keys and wallets left in view in a vehicle will attract thieves.Travel trailer burns

On Monday, emergency crews were called after a travel trailer on crown land off Cedar Avenue caught fire. The cause is believed to be smoking or cooking inside, police say.

There were no injuries and the fire was extinguished quickly.Beach fires reported

Police were called after open fires on Sum-merland beaches were reported last week.

Sgt. Stephane Lacroix of the Summerland RCMP detachment said the community and the region are under a fire ban at present.

The penalty for violating the campfire ban is a $345 ticket.

Members of Sum-merland’s Cultural Plan Task Force want to hear the commun-ity’s thoughts on cul-ture.

The 15-mem-ber task force was formed in May with a mandate to consult with the community and develop a cultur-al plan.

The plan is intend-ed to help shape Summerland’s cul-tural development for the future.

At present, the members of the task force are looking for comments from visitors, orchard workers and part-time residents of the community.

“Our focus is to try to consult with the people who will be gone at the end of the summer,” said Mar-garet Holler, a mem-ber of the committee.

Elie Van Nie, a member of the com-mittee, said the com-ments from tourists

and temporary resi-dents are necessary.

“It’s important to consider why our tourists come here,” she said.

The members will also seek input from others in the com-munity, including community organiza-tions, service groups, youth, those in the agricultural com-munity and more.

While the task force members plan to spend six months collecting comments,

they have already received good feed-back with more than 50 questionnaires received to date.

Holler said the plan presented to council will reflect the com-ments and feedback from the community.

“We are not com-ing to the table with any personal man-dates,” she said. “Our job is to listen to the community.”

The task force members have dis-

tributed question-naire forms at the country markets and at the Wednesdays on the Water concerts.

In addition, the task force has a page on Facebook, at https://www.face-book.com/cultural-plantaskforcesum-merland.

The questionnaires will also be available on the municipality’s website at summer-land.ca and at Muni-cipal Hall.

A Summerland orchard will be fea-tured in an episode of a national cooking show later this year.

On Friday, crews from Four Senses, a cooking show which airs on AMI, were at Dickinson Family Farm to film a seg-ment of one episode.

The show is designed for visually impaired people and examines cooking using senses other than sight.

It is hosted by Carl Heinrich and Chris-tine Ha. It is in its third season.

Ha, who is legally blind, won the Mas-ter Chef title in the United States, while Heinrich was named Top Chef in Canada.

Jeff Blundell, direc-tor of the show, said the film segment in Summerland was one of several in the region.

“We’re in the Oka-nagan to meet pro-

viders of the fresh and organic pro-duce,” he said. “It’s about showing where food comes from.”

Crews spent a

week in the region, visiting six farms and orchards.

The farm on Bent-ley Road in Summer-land has been owned

by the Dickinson family for more than 100 years.

The four-hectare farm produces pears and seven varieties of

cherries.Some of the trees

on the property are more than 60 years old.

The episode fea-

turing the orchard is expected to air in

November or Decem-ber.

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 – One of the rituals of life in southern B.C. com-munities is cross-border shopping for certain items.

Even corner store owners are known to pop down to Wash-ington border towns to load up a van with U.S. milk, taking advantage of a price difference generated by our “supply man-agement” system.

The recent slide in the Canadian dollar reduces this pressure in the short term, but the fact remains that dairy producers are propped up in Can-ada.

And that’s increas-ingly a problem as Canada pursues entry into the Trans Pacific Partner-ship, the next big trade deal. With the U.S., Japan, Aus-tralia, New Zealand and other countries involved, it would form the largest trad-ing bloc in the world.

Canada uses tar-iffs of up to 300 per cent to protect its dairy and poultry industries from for-eign imports, and the

higher domestic price on milk and eggs is a burden that falls most heavily on poor people.

The industry group Dairy Farmers of Canada and others argue that reducing or removing Can-ada’s import protec-tion won’t change the huge farm subsidies paid by European and U.S. govern-ments.

The recent trade agreement between Canada and the European Union has already chipped away at this protec-tion.

The Conserva-tive government is tiptoeing on this issue as a fall elec-

tion approaches, with rural seats across the country at stake. But the United King-dom, Australia and New Zealand have deregulated their dairy industries and the Canadian indus-try is already facing increased cheese imports due to the European Union agreement.

It’s an issue to watch as the federal election heats up. The NDP has positioned itself as a defender of supply management, a particularly touchy issue in rural Quebec, while the federal Lib-erals are committed to keeping up with the U.S. and join-ing the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

The trend toward freer trade is broad and long. The Harper government ended the monopoly of the Canadian Wheat Board in 2012, and grain growers con-tinue to compete globally. A trade deal with Korea saw tar-iffs come off Korean import vehicles, and life goes on.

Another controlled

and protected com-modity that is seldom discussed is logs. That’s changed with the push for the Trans Pacific Partnership, as Japan protests fed-eral and provincial restrictions that push up the cost of logs for export.

Ottawa regulates the export of private land logs, but only in B.C. This is a long-standing irritant for private land owners, holding the domestic price for premium “J grade” Douglas fir logs below $80 per cubic metre while the price in Asia and Washington state has climbed above $100.

The U.S. has long complained about B.C.’s cheap Crown land stumpage and low domestic log prices in general, viewing them as a subsidy to lumber production.

Indeed, this whole protection apparatus is designed to stimu-late domestic milling, although it doesn’t seem to be working.

The main invest-ment by B.C. forest companies recent-

ly has been buying southern U.S. saw-mills.

The coastal indus-try has maintained that profits from log exports are keeping logging alive, paying for the harvest and processing of logs in B.C.

With Pacific trade talks in the back-ground, pushed hard by U.S. President Bar-ack Obama, the latest Canada-U.S. lumber agreement is due to expire in October. It will be more diffi-cult to defend what University of Alberta economist Jack Mintz calls a “Soviet-style approach to price determination.”

B.C. used to do something similar to this with wine, pro-tecting a backward industry cranking out mostly god-awful plonk. Competition made the wine indus-try better, and now it’s world class.

YOUR VIEWS

The future of the Lakeside Presbyterian Church building is not known, but since the congregation has been disbanded, concerns have been raised about the possibility that this building could be lost.

The 225-seat building is more than a century old and features a pipe organ.

The heritage value of this church has been recognized since at least the 1980s, when it was given heritage designation. However, the rules governing such desig-nation have changed since that time.

The community has a list of 65 heritage properties, but this list does not provide protection to these buildings.

Those who have long connections to Summerland can recount stories of histor-ic buildings which have been demolished or renovated to the point that the heritage elements are no longer as noticeable as in the past.

Heritage preservation is important in any community.

Once a building has been destroyed, it is gone forever. Once a building has undergone extensive renovations, there is little chance it will be put back to its original condition in the future.

The difficulty comes in finding a work-able method to achieve this goal.

An official list of historic buildings and sites has little value if the buildings can be destroyed or modified extensively.

A stronger designation, preventing the demolition or modification of heritage buildings, would keep the buildings in place, but could also render them much more difficult to sell.

It is also important to remember that heritage buildings may require repairs and additional work more frequently than newer buildings.

The costs of the upkeep and mainten-ance need to be considered. Otherwise, the result could be an aging building on a valuable piece of land.

Summerland’s past deserves to be remembered and one way of doing this is by preserving buildings from earlier years.

Although it is needed, a good strategy to preserve heritage buildings will not come easily.

EDITORIALPreserving heritage

Fun and gamesIn the early 1900s the residents of Summerland liked to get together to celebrate special occasions. They probably would have seen B.C. Day as another good reason to hold a Community Sports Day on the opportunely flat expanse of Crescent Beach. In this photo, taken in 1905, it looks like the entire population turned out for whatever event was taking place — a baseball or football game, a horse race, or some other exciting activity. In 1974 B.C. Day was created to recognize our pioneers and celebrate B.C. so whatever your plans for the holiday, we hope you have as much fun as the pioneers did. Happy B.C. Day!

Dear Editor:What’s to be done?S u m m e r l a n d ’ s

reputation as a nice, friendly town is tar-nished.

Our seasonal fruit pickers are treated as “other.”

One of them was found trying to live in one of our public

washrooms. This is not acceptable.

A church in the heart of a big city allowed the home-less to sleep on their

pews. This is not a seasonal sanctuary.

Our seasonal workers are an important part of our economy. As young

people, they are our future.

What’s to be done, Summerland.

Emergency euthanasia service neededDear Editor:I write to advise pet

owners to ask their vet if they offer a euthanasia pro-gram outside their office hours of Monday to Fri-day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. I unfortunately did not think of asking this question.

When I needed an emer-gency call to a vet for eutha-nasia, I was told, “we offer 24-hour emergency ser-vice.” This service entails a

journey of 50 kilometres to Kelowna Fairfield Animal Hospital.

This is totally unaccept-able when your pet is hem-orrhaging and is in dread-ful pain in a pool of blood.

It is cruel to expect a pet owner to put their dying pet into the back of a car and travel 50 kilometres to Kelowna.

It hurt so much to wit-ness my dearly loved eight-

year-old schnauzer in abso-lute pain, fighting for his life.

I am so angry that I can-not understand an estab-lishment like a vet closing their doors at 5 p.m. every night.

Added to that fact, they are completely closed from 5 p.m. on Friday to Monday at 9 a.m.

There is no euthanasia program in Summerland

outside these office hours.I implore all pet owners

to ask their vets if they offer an out-of-hours euthanasia service, thereby avoiding a journey to Kelowna with a dying animal.

If I can save just one pet from the excruciating pain of dying without help, my letter will have served its purpose.

Dear Editor:On behalf of the

board and staff of the Friends of the Sum-merland Ornamental Gardens, I would like to thank and acknow-ledge those who assisted in making

our 2015 plant sale such a success.

The annual plant sale continues to help fund the salaries of two seasonal garden-ers who assist in the care and maintenance of the gardens.

This is truly a com-munity event, bring-ing together our board, our gardeners, our many dedicated volunteers as well as numerous Summer-land businesses.

Our appreciation

extends to the local media who helped to advertise this event, including the Sum-merland Review for its ads and articles.

And finally a big thank you to those who continue to

attend, support and enjoy our plant sale.

The Summerland Ornamental Gardens continues to thrive thanks to you.

Growing up during the 1980’s, the Edmonton Oilers were my favourite team. Wayne Gretkzy said, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” Setting health goals is like setting any kind of goal in life. Tomorrow is going to come and what you do today will influence your results tomorrow. While you may not always hit your goals, at least you have moved in the direction that you were aiming and not the opposite.

With oral health goals, we have patients who determine their plan and complete most of their treatment in one appointment (sometimes with the help of sedation). We also have patients who plan out their treatment over several years. Either course is fine. Everyone has their own set of circumstances, schedules, priorities, etc. Knowing what is in front of you and being able to point your compass in the right direction for what you want out of your oral health is the first step. In our practice, we like to listen to each patient’s story and their oral health goals. If we can understand what they want, then it’s just a matter of pointing our direction to align with theirs.

We’re here to help in any way we can. Feel free to call, stop by, or send us an email message. We are always accepting new patients and I’d be happy to answer your question in the next column (anonymously if desired). Have a great week!

Dear Editor:Irrigation users

in Prairie Valley received a letter dated July 6 , warning them that the irrigation water they use is in danger of not being chlorinated.

The reason being that Interior Health does not require it.

They also state that we of Prairie Valley are in grave danger if a chlorine leak should occur.

Nothing was men-tioned as to why irrigation water was chlorinated in the first place.

Water coming out of Trout Creek has

been exposed to sun-light so this water contains micro organ-isms that form long green chains when not chlorinated.

When the system was installed grow-ers were encouraged to install drip or microjet systems to help conserve water. When water is not chlorinated these green chains plug up water filtration sys-tems, microjets, drip nozzles and other small parts. The only way to prevent this is using chemicals to kill off the algae.

At the time of installing this system

in the 1970s, it was decided the safest way of doing this was for the water coming to users be treated by the municipality thus preventing growers from contaminating

the whole system by using chemicals themselves.

Summerland staff say they will never need this water for domestic use. If there was a break in the

domestic water sys-tem or a large fire it is important that this large source of water be kept clean just in case.

Growers have miles of irrigation tub-

ing in their orchards, vineyards and gar-dens. Once these are plugged up, I hope the municipality has a plan to compensate for new systems.

As for the safety of

chlorine, none of us have been gassed in the last 40 or so years.

People handling this product are sup-posed to be qualified.

Einstein said that not everything that counts can be count-ed, and not every-thing that can be counted, counts.

One of those intan-gibles in every com-munity, and certainly here in Summerland, are the amazing vol-unteers here.

Sometimes the effects of their efforts

can be very evident, such as the work that the Summerland Rotary group has done to create the new Sunday market.

In fact, when I turn to the Calen-dar of Events in the 2015 Visitors Guide, I count almost 30 events that are wholly or partially depend-ent on volunteers for their success.

Others times, vol-unteers are active in our community in a quieter way such as operating the Food Bank, participating in special library pro-grams, weeding the Ornamental Gardens, creating museum and art gallery displays and programs or par-ticipating on one of the Committees of Council.

Economic pun-dits sometimes try to assign a value to volunteer efforts with

a basic hours multi-plied by wage equa-tion. But this is too simplistic. In our most recent video launched in Febru-ary, called, Our Con-nected Commun-ity, we talked about supporting the local organizations and events that bring vitality and meaning to our communities.

Vitality and mean-ing can’t be quanti-fied in dollars and cents but that’s the real power that vol-unteers both bring to our community and take away in what they gain from hav-ing contributed their time.

Visitors notice this aspect of our com-munity as well, and the Chamber talks about our culture of volunteerism in eco-nomic development videos and publica-tions because we

know this attracts more residents to our community.

At the Granfondo Aid Station in Sum-merland, early in the morning of July 12, more than 2,000 bike riders swept through town, many of them stopping to chat for a moment with us and grab a drink, a treat, some help with their bike or first aid.

Between the aid station and traffic control, there were

more than 30 Sum-merland volunteers.

Most of the rid-ers expressed thanks to the volunteers for coming out. In the coming months, please take a moment to thank a local vol-unteer that you may encounter. And if you’re one of those remarkable volun-teers, we thank you for contributing to the vitality of Sum-merland.

It couldn’t happen without your sup-port.

We always appre-ciate your feedback. Please contact me at [email protected] or chamber president, Kelly Marshall, at [email protected] .

Friends of the Sum-merland Gardens, are introducing new con-servation program activities to show residential landscap-ers how changing their approach to water use can sup-ply high quality

landscaping while reducing demand for freshwater.

The Intergenera-tional Landed Learn-ing project will expand the curriculum-based vegetable growing program. This pro-gram teams students

with elder mentors to grow, maintain and harvest food.

This year the pro-ject has received $39,000 from Eco-Action Community Fund, $18,000 from the Okanagan Basin Water Board’s Water

Quality Improve-ment Grant, $10,000 from Telus, $4,200 from the TD Friends of Environment Foundation, $3,000 from the municipal-ity’s Climate Action Initiative and $1,000 from FortisBC.

CounCil reporT

Provincial firefighting crews are continuing to bat-tle wildfires throughout the province.

So far this year, a total of 1,338 wildfires, 10 hectares or larger, have been recorded provincewide. The fires have

covered 297,604 hectares.In the Kamloops Fire Cen-

tre’s coverage area, which includes the South Okana-gan, 304 wildfires have been reported this year, covering 4,867 hectares. At present, there are 11 active wildfires in

this region.Over the past 10 years,

there have been an average of 1,847 wildfires provincewide. Of these, 38.5 per cent have been caused by human activ-ity, while 61.5 per cent have been caused by lightning.

Wildfires continue to burn

The South Okana-gan Similkameen Protocol Agreement two year anniversary was celebrated on July 22 at the Okana-gan Nation Alliance’s Annual General Assembly in Pentic-ton.

The Protocol Agreement was signed by Pentic-ton Indian Band, Osoyoos Indian Band, Lower Similka-meen Indian Band and the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen on June 21, 2013.

The protocol estab-lishes a government to government rela-tionship to identify, consult and address common concerns and interests of importance.

The parties work together in a spirit of common respect and cooperation by recognizing and cel-ebrating diversity, while cooperating to achieve mutual pros-perity.

The South Okana-gan Similkameen Protocol Agreement is an important step forward in estab-lishing an ongoing, working relation-ship founded on the basis of mutual respect and under-standing.

The agreement formalized the com-mitment to continue inter-governmental cooperation and con-firms the parties’ desire to continue to live and work togeth-er harmoniously.

Anniversary of protocol agreement celebrated

S u m m e r l a n d ’ s Official Community Plan was adopted on Monday evening, fol-lowing a public hear-ing at the municipal council meeting.

The 185-page document sets out the direction for land use within the com-munity.

Changes to the plan reduce the size of the Urban Growth Area to roughly half the size in an amend-ment from last year.

Under the revision,

land within the Agricultural Land Reserve will not be designated for future growth.

Ian McIntosh, dir-ector of development services for the muni-cipality, said the new Urban Growth Area will not affect exist-ing zoning.

At the public hear-ing, residents raised concerns about land off Victoria Road South, near the for-mer Glenfir School site, saying a develop-

ment in that area will affect local wildlife.

Members of coun-cil raised concerns about land in the West Prairie Valley area.

Much of the land in the West Prairie Valley area earlier designated for future growth has been zoned open land.

Mayor Peter Water-man said the public may later decide on another use for the land in this area.

“It’s an open slate

for the community to decide what’s going to happen in West Prai-rie Valley,” he said.

Coun. Janet Peake said the commun-ity plan could be amended in the future if necessary. “It’s always a work in progress,” she said.

“We are at a pos-ition where it’s time to move forward,” said Coun. Toni Boot.

Coun. Doug Holmes and Coun. Erin Carlson voted against the bylaw.

Revised plan adopted

I have two boys. Two very active, messy, full-of-energy boys.

Looking for ways to keep them busy during the summer months can be an exhausting and often fruitless endeavour.

Unfailingly every year I’ll be bom-barded with a chorus

of little voices ask-ing “When are we going camping?” to which my instinctive response is half past never!

I am not a camp-er, sleeping on the ground, dealing with bugs, sharing a washroom with other people none of this screams ‘relaxing

vacation’ to me. I’m just not that kind of a girl.

My children how-ever love the chance to be outdoors play-ing all day, meet-ing new friends and making themselves sick on s’mores late into the evening.

So each year we pack up what seems

to be our entire house, put it in the car and drive to a provincial park, pro-viding it has flushing toilets and showers of course.

Once we have unpacked our ridicu-lous sized pile of pro-visions the boys run off and start to have fun, I on the other hand now start what is probably the worst part of camping for me, the cooking.

I’m a plan-ner, I spend hours researching and scheduling my vaca-tions so that every last second of fun is accounted for. In preparation for this three days of torture (did I mention three days of camping is my maximum?

Once we only made it three hours before my husband threw everything in the truck including two sobbing kids and a hysterical wife and we drove home.)

I spend days beforehand planning

what we’re going to eat.

The first time we went some years ago I had no idea what I was going to do, I’d never really cooked outdoors before other than the barbecue and certainly never on an open fire.

Luckily there are many books out there to help nov-ices such as myself so I plunged into the hitherto unknown world of camping cookbooks.

I learned all the tips and tricks I would need to know to survive the great outdoors from books such as Hungry Campers, by Zac Wil-liams and Camping: Sleep Well, Stay Dry, Eat Great Food, by Ed Douglas.

It didn’t look totally easy but with enough preparation before we left I man-aged to keep us all relatively well fed.

After the ordeal of cooking is over I then have all the clean up to do, seriously who

thought that camp-ing would be a vaca-tion.

Finally, finally after all that is done I can relax.

There are no dis-tractions, no phones, no TV, no jobs that need to be taken care of just me and my book.

This is why I can face my yearly camp-ing trip, this oppor-tunity to just sit in peace, surrounded by beauty.

I can catch up on

my ever increasing pile of things to read and just spend time recharging, I would camp just to make my boys happy but this is definitely a part I enjoy.

I envy those who make camping look easy, they seem at ease in nature and think nothing of going away for weeks at a time with not even running water.

This will probably never be me but each year it gets a little easier, a little less daunting and if all else fails I may have to go buy myself a fifth wheel and go “glamping.”

When Norma Brad-ley had her long red hair cut for a shorter style last week, she donated the excess length to make wigs for cancer patients.

Bradley had her hair cut on Thurs-day.

She donated 38 centimetres of her hair to Pantene, for use in the wigs.

Bradley, who had been considering a shorter hair style, chose to donate her hair after several friends lost their hair while battling can-cer.

“It was such a simple solution,” she said.

The recipients will not have to pay for the wigs.

Summerland Review Thursday, July 30, 2015 L i f e s t y L e www.summerlandreview.com 9

Once again local artists will be fea-tured in local busi-nesses in the Sum-merland Community Arts Council’s annual Art Walk. Starting this Saturday Aug. 1 and running until Aug. 31 local artists will have works dis-played in participat-ing downtown busi-nesses and wineries.

The Art Walk is designed to promote tourism, business and cultural aware-ness in Summerland.

Our hope is that by organizing a col-laboration between local artists and Sum-merland businesses we can attract more customers and art lovers/buyers to our beautiful town.

Patrons are encour-aged to come on this walking tour of the downtown area to re-discover the won-derful shops in our beautiful downtown.

Exercise, art, and shopping all in one, what could be better?

The Featured Art-ist of the week at the Art Centre for July 31

to Aug. 4 is Shirlie Wilkinson.

Wilkinson was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan and moved to British Columbia with her family in 1942.

She graduated from the Vancouver School of Arts and on completion of her course was awarded the Businessmen’s Travel-Study Scholar-ship that must be used outside of Canada.

In May, 1958 she traveled to the Brit-ish Isles and Europe and studied art at the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London.

During her 18 months abroad she traveled through 21 European countries and spent her time vis-iting galleries, sketch-ing and painting.

Wilkinson has since enjoyed a career in design and graph-ics and now in her retirement is once again enjoying paint-ing with watercolours and acrylics. Come watch Wilkinson paint and hear more about her travels.

Wednesdays on the Water will con-tinue this Wednes-day, Aug. 5 featuring a local group from West Kelowna called Dark Horse. These six musicians will serenade you with a variety of favour-ites from the 50s, 60s and 70s. Bring a lawn chair and a picnic to Peach Orchard beach to enjoy free weekly music Wednesdays, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

And if one night of music isn’t enough for you this week, the 68th annual Peach Festival in Penticton has daily entertainers from Aug. 5 to 9.

You can find their

schedule online at www.peachfest.com.

Summer art class-es for kids continue until Aug. 21 at the Art Centre.

There is still space available in the Aug. 10 to 14 classes.

It will be a fun filled week of learning and performing musical theatre excerpts in Musical Theatre for ages seven and up or learn artist tech-niques using pencils, pens, pastels and paints in From Pencil to Paint for ages 10 and up.

Once Upon a Time is based around popular children’s stories and nursery rhymes. Children will be singing, playing, acting and creating in this class for three- to five-year-olds.

For more classes see our online bro-chure or drop by the Art Centre. Register soon as classes fill up quickly.

Carmen McDow-ell is the Summer Art Program coordinator at the Summerland Arts Council.

Touring the libraryMembers of the Friends of the Summerland Library Society and the Okanagan Regional Library staff were given a tour of the new Sum-merland Library branch last week. Construction of the new facility is expected to be completed by late August. The budget for the building is $4.5 million, including the purchase of the land, demolition of old buildings on the Main Street property and site improvements. Funding came from the Okangan Regional Library. Summerland residents con-tribute around three per cent of the regional library’s costs.

Carla McLeodSpecial to the

Review

A young woman from Summerland, Emily Henderson, has been crowned Miss Interior at the 2015 Miss BC Pageant, that was held in Langley on July 5. The 19-year-old was sponsored by Okanagan Specialty Fruits.

“I went into the pageant as Miss Arc-tic Apple and I came

out as Miss Interior B.C.,” said Hender-son.

“When I signed up for this pageant I didn’t even think I’d get an interview and I did. Then I got into the pageant and before I knew it I had

a sparkling tiara and a sash!”

Henderson grew up in Summerland and considers this to be where her roots are.

She is now attending the Univer-sity of British Colum-bia as an art student and has yet to pick a major.

She describes her-self as an avid com-petitive swimmer, swim coach, writer and long-time per-forming artist. Act-

ing in mus ica l produc-tions at Summer-land Sec-o n d a r y S c h o o l h a s p l a y e d a n i m p o r t -ant role

in her life.“It made me a

more confident per-son,” explained Hen-derson. “I don’t think I’d be the same per-son I am today if I hadn’t had that stage experience.”

The Miss BC Pageant that Hen-derson entered was a three day event,

with workshops and rehearsals leading up to pageant night.

“We did work-

shops on public speaking, on healthy lifestyle, even man-ners and etiquette,” Henderson said. “It was a self-develop-ment project. It was a really wonderful experience and so much more than I was expecting.”

Henderson was pleasantly surprised to see how the 40 contestants all got along so well with each other. “We real-ly developed a sister-hood,” she said. “By the time it was the actual pageant night we had mostly for-gotten it was a com-petition. It was less about who was going to win and more about what we could individually bring to the world.”

The contestants had a private, one on one interview with each of the judges and on pageant night they gave a brief introduction of them-selves and their spon-sor to the judges and audience.

The finalists were given an onstage interview, based on the answers they had previously provided to a questionnaire.

Henderson was asked what her favourite quote was. Her answer was taken from Ann of Green Gables-“It’s

hard to stay sad for very long when we live in such an inter-esting world.”

For her second question she was asked who she would choose to go out on a date with and her reply was “myself.” Laughing, she explained,

“I’m really a social person and I don’t spend enough time on my own, learn-ing about myself…so could just spend some more time on my own, reflecting.”

Each pageant con-testant also had a platform that they were judged on. Henderson’s plat-form was on having a positive body image, health and empower-ment.

It is her belief that in order to realize our full potential we must feel comfortable in ourselves.

Her fear is that today, many in our society are so caught up in the way they look, that they forget about what they can actually do.

“I want people to look beyond what they see physically,” she said. “When you look in the mir-ror, stop thinking so much about your head, torso and limbs and think more about what’s in your heart,

what’s in your soul and see the fire with-in.”

The year ahead will be a busy one for Henderson, as she appears at many dif-ferent events.

While certain appearances are planned, much of what she does with her title lies in her own hands.

She recognizes that having the title of Miss Interior is a commitment, one that she is confident she can handle.

Henderson said that the journey thus far had been a happy one. “The most important message I got from this pageant was the concept of women empowering women. We all have something special to bring to the world,” she said. “It was a really revo-lutionary weekend for me and I would highly recommend it to any young girl.”

SCoReboaRdA total of 64 par-

ticipants repre-senting eight South Okanagan commun-

ities in 13 events will soon be on their

way to the 55+ B.C. Games in North Van-

couver.The games will be

held Aug. 25 to 29 and will bring togeth-er approximately 3,800 participants from across the prov-ince.

“The 55+ com-munity is very active year round in the South Okanagan and Similkameen,” said Lisa Navin, event/sport development with Tourism Pentic-ton.

“While sports and activities such as bridge, slo-pitch, tennis and ice hock-ey remain popular, sports such as moun-tain biking, kar-ate, pickleball and squash are rapidly climbing in num-bers.”

Athletes partici-pating from Sum-merland are Glen and Tammy Brennan in curling, Ali Steen-bergen in Pickle-ball, Donna Eaton, Donna Evans, Dale MacDonald and Len Theroux in slo-pitch, Charley Mayer and Don Russell in soc-cer and Rob King in swimming.

Athletes prepare for 55+ B.C. Games

GolfingJan McLeod plays a round of golf at the Summerland Golf and Country Club. The golf course attracts many residents and visitors during the summer months.

Summer camps are in full swing and a youth from Summer-land will experience a summer of adven-ture and challenge as part of the Fitness and Sport Instructors Course at the Cold

Lake Cadet Training Centre.

Throughout the regular cadet training year from Septem-ber to June, Bryanna Johnston is a cadet at 909 Peregrine Royal Canadian Air Cadet

Squadron in West-bank.

This summer she is attending the Fitness and Sport Instructors Course in Cold Lake.

During her time at the centre, Johnston will learn sports, fit-

ness, and instruc-tional skills such as how to teach proper stretching, proper nutrition, and how to run sports tabloids. She is with a group of her peers from across western and northern Canada, and is taught by staff cadets while being mentored by Cadet Instructor Cadre Officers; adults who specialize in working with young people to implement the cadet program.

Johnston began summer camp in late June and will return home mid-August.

The Cadet Pro-gram is a national youth development program which aims to grow in youth the attributes of good citizenship and leadership, promote physical fitness, and stimulate the interest of youth in the sea, land and air activ-ities of the Canadian Forces.

For more informa-tion on the Cadets, go to www.cadets.ca.

Summerland Review Thursday, July 30, 2015 L i f e s t y L e www.summerlandreview.com 13

It is hard to believe this will be my fourth annual accountabil-ity report as time has gone by quickly since being first elected in 2011.

Like my previous accountability reports this is a summary of my expenditures over the past fiscal year as the Member of Parlia-ment for Okanagan-Coquihalla.

As with previous reports I will fol-low the format using information from the most recent fiscal per-iod of April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015 in accordance with the Board of Internal Economy reporting periods.

While some of this information is public-ly available, it can be difficult to find and often exists at several different locations online or not at all.

As stated in previ-ous years, I believe it is important for citizens to have an annual summary on the activities of elect-ed officials in public office including the related costs.

Office expenses and travel are typical-ly the most scrutin-ized areas of spend-ing for elected offi-cials at any level of government.

For Members of Parliament from Brit-

ish Columbia, our travel expenses are typically higher than those of MPs from other areas in Canada as a result of the fact that we fly further distances between B.C. and Ottawa.

My personal travel expense during this time frame was just over $52,000; this is an increase of $3,000 over the $49,000 spent last year but still down from $55,000 spent in 2013.

In my case this works out to roughly 420 hours in an air-plane, the vast major-ity spent flying regu-lar coach class.

Total spending for my two offices here in Okanagan-Coquihalla and one in Ottawa including all staff, leases, adver-tising and the above mentioned travel was $371,517.

Like previous years this is within

the top three lowest expenses for a B.C.-based MP.

As a compari-son closer to home, NDP MP Alex Ata-manenko from B.C. Southern Interior has posted spending of $441,536 as a com-parison.

Sponsored travel falls into a different category as Mem-bers of Parliament are invited from time to time to travel to other destinations both within and out-side of Canada for a variety of different reasons. These invi-tations often include airfare and accom-modations being paid for by the host and not taxpayers.

When Members of Parliament accept these special trips they are required to disclose and report such travel to the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commis-sioner.

I can confirm that while I did receive invitations of this nature I did not accept any com-plimentary trips or travel during the last fiscal period nor have I accepted any since being elected.

The informa-tion included in this week’s report is intended to provide a brief summary of

some of the more commonly scrutin-ized expenses. If there is other infor-mation that you are interested in, please do not hesitate to contact me with your request.

I can be reached via email at [email protected] or at 1-800-665-8711.

This year we have seen a number of for-est fires in Okanagan-Coquihalla.

These situations can be particularly demanding in inter-face areas for those who are evacuated as well as those that are often the last line of protection.

While some fires like we saw at Ham-ilton Hill near Mer-ritt can be quickly and effectively extin-guished, we must remain mindful that despite advances in technology and tech-niques, this work is inherently dangerous and requires amaz-ing amounts of work, coordination and ingenuity.

For many of us we can only imagine the sacrifice and perse-verance that it takes to contain such fires. I was glad to join Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Premier Christy Clark with other elected officials at Shelter Cove-West-

side Road fire near West Kelowna to hear firsthand the experi-ences of those who are courageously fighting this fire.

One gentleman who led the crew spoke of his years of dedication to fire-fighting and sense of service that he and his crew drew upon on daily to tackle such gruelling work.

It was very grati-fying to hear both leaders on behalf of British Columbia and

Canada respectively, publicly praise the crew and the multi-tudes of other Can-adians who also are working to keep their communities and areas safe.

I would encourage

all citizens of Oka-nagan-Coquihal la who have the oppor-tunity to do so to also extend their thanks.

Dan Albas is the MP for Okanagan Coquihalla.
