Two Summerland wines were among 12 recognized in the 2014 Lieutenant Governor’s Awards for Excellence in

British Columbia Wines.On Friday, Lieutenant

Governor Judith Guichon made presentations at 8th Generation Vineyard for Riesling 2012 and at Oka-nagan Crush Pad Winery

for Haywire Canyonview Pinot Noir 2011.

“The outstanding qual-ity of wines in British Columbia impresses our wine judges each year and makes the selection

increasingly difficult,” Guichon. said. “This year’s winners represent the best of the exception-al wines from our prov-ince.”

This is the 12th year the

wine awards have been presented.

Jamie Hammond, pri-vate secretary to Guichon, said the entries were all of a high quality.

Domestic metering structure will come to council in August

by John Arendt

The rate structure is in place for Summer-land’s domestic water metering, although minor adjustments may be needed.

The metering bylaw is expected on the next municipal council agenda, at the Aug. 25 meeting.

The domestic metering system, which comes into effect on Jan. 1, has water rates based on the size of the property and the amount of water needed for irrigation at various times of the year.

“We’ve created an absolutely unique sys-tem.” said municipal administrator Tom Day. “We’re at the very forefront of water metering.”

Creating this system has been a long and complex process. The municipality has been working on a water metering system since at least 2009 and during that time, several metering models have been considered.

The municipality has also had numerous open houses and information sessions about the metering options.

“It is the finest rate structure I have seen,” said Don Darling, director of engineering and public works for the municipality.

He said he has noticed a decrease in water use since the meters were installed, even though homes are still billed for flat rate water use.

At present, around 20 residential proper-ties still do not have meters installed.

Day urges homeowners with questions about metering to contact the municipal public works department. Those who do not have the meters need to get them installed this year.

“By Jan. 1, all water needs to be metered,” he said. “If you have unmetered water, someone else is paying for it.”

Mayor Janice Perrino said the process has been long and difficult. “To say this is an uncomplicated issue is just wrong,” she said.

A Main Street bis-tro will have a new name and a new chef beginning in August.

Andrew Roper, a chef with 26 years of experience around the world, has bought Wagon Wheel Bistro.

The name will change to Drew’s Kitchen and the decor will be changed.

Monique Paul, owner of Wagon Wheel Bistro, said the menu will be much the same as the exist-ing restaurant menu. The staff will also remain.

“There’s not going

to be much change,” Paul said. “Just the decor is going to be changing.”

She said Roper will emphasize local foods. He makes his own sausage and is committed to using locally fresh items as much as possible.

Paul set up the bis-tro five years ago and thanks the commun-ity for supporting the business since that time.

“It’s just been a wonderful five years,” she said. “We’ve had so much laughter here.”

Parent picket urges resolution in ongoing teacher dispute

A Summerland parent wants the province and the teachers’ union to resolve the labour dispute now, dur-ing the summer and before the school year is scheduled to begin in September.

On Monday mor-ning, Linnea Good set up a parent picket on Jubilee Road West near Summerland Middle School. The picket will remain in place every morning this week.

“Don’t take a vaca-tion from this,” Good said.

The existing strike began in March, when teachers voted 89 per cent in favour of job action. They had been without a contract since June, 2013.

The first phase of the job action began

in late April, when teachers refused to supervise students outside of class time and refused to com-municate in writing with administrators.

Rotating strikes took effect in late May.

The full-scale strike began in June.

It has not yet been resolved.

Because the strike is continuing, there are questions about whether the start of the school year in early September will be delayed.

As a result, there are also questions about whether spe-

cial activities will be cancelled this year.

“To see my kids headed into high school, not knowing if anything they’ve planned is going to happen, that’s going to hurt,” she said.

Good said her parent picket is not intended as a parti-

san statement nor as a way to side with either side in the ongoing dispute.

She said the dis-pute is not only affecting students, parents and teach-ers; it is also taking a toll on the provincial economy as a result of the uncertainty.

Summerland ath-letes enjoyed strong performances at the B.C. Games in Nanaimo earlier this

month.The games brought

2,500 B.C. athletes together for competi-tion in 19 sports.

Track and field

athlete Hunter Dufty, triathlete Haley Bar-risford and swimmer Myah Nackoney all took part in the prov-incial competitions.

Dufty finished with a third-place finish in shot put, a second-place finish in discus and a fifth-place finish in javelin.

“I was hoping I would do better in shot put,” she said.

In August, Dufty will compete in track and field at the

national level.“I’m hoping to

get onto the podium there,” she added.

Haley Berrisford finished with two sev-enth-place finishes in triathlon and aqua-thon, a 10th-place fin-ish in the girls’ super sprint triathlon and an 11th-place finish in duathlon.

“It was a really great experience,” she said following the competition.

Before going to the games, she had set a goal of finish-

ing in the top half in her events. In one of the events, she also was the first out of the water.

Berrisford plans to continue her triath-lon efforts and plans to do longer distan-ces, including the Challenge Penticton competition in future years.

Myah Nackoney finished sixth in the 100 metre backstroke.

Nackoney could not be reached for comment by press time.

Gene ResearchThe one constant in today's world is change. Research and Technology is constantly advancing what we know and can do. Society and the legal community face a very difficult battle in dealing with the very important issues which arise from scientific discovery and new technology. One such area where the Law is struggling to keep up with these changes is genetic research.

Because genetic research and the recent advances in that field have the actual power to change life as we know it, it is critical that Society as a whole and the Legal community insure that the proper safeguards are in place. The questions raised in this area do not have easy answers and people's views on those questions are affected by many different influences. This makes it very difficult to provide a Legal framework for how the advances can be used and developed. One thing we do know however, is that the advances and questions will keep coming.

Jeff and Staff announce that as of August 1st

VICTORIA – A recent col-umn on the B.C. government’s decision to raise speed limits on portions of rural highways excited numerous comments from readers.

Some questioned my sug-gestion that today’s new driv-ers are worse because they spend their f o r m a t i v e years star-ing at screens in the back seat instead of looking out the window and grasping the grim physics of the real world.

There is no doubt that B.C.’s graduated licensing system for new drivers is more diffi-cult than what my generation faced.

Those vehicle stickers with the “L” (for learner, or as teens prefer “loser”) and “N” (for novice, or in teen-speak “nerd”) have been around since 1998.

The two steps make getting a full driver’s licence a longer, more difficult and expensive process.

Statistics provided by ICBC show what new drivers are up against.

First there is the written “knowledge test” to obtain a learner’s permit.

From 2004 to 2008, more than half of applicants failed in their first attempt.

Things improved in subse-quent years, with a 46-per-cent failure rate in 2009 declining to 42 per cent by 2013.

The first road test is required

to go from “L” to “N” and it seems sufficiently harsh. The failure rate has been consist-ently around 47 per cent in the past six years.

More practice and another $35 are required to try again.

Students fare better on the second road test, where the failure rate has consistently been 21-22 per cent for the past decade.

ICBC reports that in the first three years of the graduated licence program, the new driv-er crash rate dropped by 16 per cent.

In 2003 the required learn-er and novice period were extended, and restrictions on the novice stage were increased.

New driver crashes fell by another 28 per cent.

Those restrictions include the number of passengers and a “zero tolerance” for alcohol.

Impaired crash and injury statistics aren’t available for drivers in the graduated licence program, only fatalities.

They grew as more new drivers were enrolled in the new system, to a high of 24 in 2007, but that declined to 14 by 2012.

There will always be young people who drive impaired, speed or make other fatal errors. But it’s difficult to argue that today’s system in B.C. is lenient.

A couple of readers were concerned about the effect of higher rural speed limits on older drivers.

One suggested that higher limits on rural highways are a poor mix with vacationing

seniors hauling around over-sized motorhomes, trailers and boats.

Another cited the coming wave of retired baby boomers and added a likely increase in marijuana-impaired drivers, all emboldened by the invitation to drive faster.

B.C.’s medical health offi-cers issued a letter denouncing the decision by Transportation Minister Todd Stone to raise speed limits.

Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the research is clear that higher speeds increase the risk and severity of incidents.

Then there is the govern-ment’s own position, articu-lated in a road safety strategy released last year by Attorney General Suzanne Anton.

“Research is conclusive that at higher speeds, more people are killed and injured in the traffic system,” it states. “At lower speeds, fewer are killed and injured as a direct result of the safety buffer that lowered speeds create.”

The strategy notes that new technologies such as adaptive cruise control are becoming available. B.C. is also testing electronic highway speed limit signs that change with weather and traffic conditions.

Next comes self-driving vehicle systems, so drivers will be able to check their phones again.

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

The rain last week provided some relief from the hot and dry conditions we have experienced this summer, but the fire dan-ger has not yet passed.

D e s p i t e the rain, this week’s tem-peratures are into the 30s once again and if past years are any indication, dry conditions could extend into the fall.

The fire danger rating in much of this area is high and the fore-cast calls for hot, sunny weather to continue.

This is no time for compla-cency. The risk of wildfires con-tinues.

Two Summerland wineries have received accolades for wine-making excel-lence.

W i n e s from 8th Gen-eration Vine-yard and Oka-nagan Crush Pad Winery were among 12 B.C. wineries chosen in the 2014 Lieutenant Governor’s Awards for Excellence in British Columbia Wines.

A total of 436 wines from 119 wineries were entered in this year’s competition.

waterThe transition from a flat

rate for water consumption to a metering system looks easy at first glance, but in Summerland the process has been long and complex.

Next month, the rate struc-ture will come before muni-cipal council. The rates are to take effect on Jan. 1.

For the past five years, municipal council and staff have considered various billing mod-els in order to be fair to all residential water users.

Some of the options have included a base rate with sur-charges for those who use excessive amounts, a system which charges users a constant rate for every litre and a num-ber of models where the per litre cost increases for those who use excessive amounts of water.

The model which will come before council has surchar-ges for excess water use, but the amount of water allowed before those higher rates take effect will vary from month to month, in order to accom-modate domestic irrigation needs.

The size of a property is also considered when deter-mining the amount of water allowed before higher rates take effect.

While the discussions about the various metering models have been complicated and frustrating at times, a change from the present flat rate structure has been needed for some time.

Under the present struc-ture, all single family homes are charged the same amount for water, even if one uses con-siderably more than another. Such a system does nothing to encourage conservation or responsible water use.

This is unacceptable, espe-cially in a dry climate.

Once the metering system is in place next year, it will be possible to determine if there are small adjustments to the rates needed. However, the time and effort taken to create this billing model should address most if not all the pos-sible areas of concern.

THE EARLY YEARS

A peachy campsiteIn 1907 this shady little trail led to Summerland’s first municipal park. Formerly part of George Barclay’s orchards, specifically peaches, a hall was built there and the park became the com-munity gathering place for events such as dances and the Fall Fair. The first major roadway through the Okanagan went right past the park and it seemed a natural transition when it became Peach Orchard Auto Camp. Obviously it was a good idea as, over one hundred years later, Peach Orchard Park is still a popular destination for “Auto Campers.” By now the pine trees there must smell like toasted marshmallows.

Enforcement needed for vehicle noise

Dear Editor: Politicians have

deregulated public safety in the Okanag-an valley.

When motor vehi-cles are manufac-tured, they have to meet very strict safety standards, including maximum allowable noise levels.

Those standards do not change when the vehicles roll off the automakers assembly lines.

In the Okanagan valley we have experi-enced a huge increase in the number of cars with obnoxious,

ear-splitting boom boxes, power boats with inadequate or no mufflers, motor-bikes with flow-through pipes, and pick-ups trucks with after-market exhaust systems customized to make even more noise!

The bylaws have been in place for years, and they are as relevant today as they were at the time they were adopted.

Because these issues are not being addressed, many Okanagan val-ley drivers have

developed some aggressive attitudes that have left our streets and highways unsafe.

The daily exposure to those high noise levels represents nothing less than a daily assault on pub-lic safety as well as our quality of life. It has to stop.

The RCMP is responsible for public safety, but they are waiting for a green light from our polit-icians to be allowed to do their job.

Canadian public owns oil resources

Dear Editor:The public are

being gouged and siphoned by the oil companies. The oil companies say it is all about supply and demand. Yes, they supply petroleum then demand ran-som.

Oil insiders say unison in prices is proof of the free mar-ket. In a free market there would be com-panies boosting sales by dropping prices. Competition is an illusion.

All Canadians own the oil resource.

The federal gov-ernment lets the pri-vate oil companies grab the oil. After giving the companies generous subsidies, tax write-offs and loopholes the federal government gets only about eight per cent

of the oil company revenues through income tax.

The federal govern-ment should be get-ting a lot more taxes and fees from the private oil companies for our oil. Instead, it recovers the subsidies and tax gifts given to oil companies by cut-ting services, benefits and raising taxes to all Canadians.

Norway doesn’t need private foreign-owned oil companies and their executives to run Norway’s oil industry. Because of its publicly run oil industry, Norway has a surplus fund of $700 billion US. In contrast, siphoned by the pri-vatized oil industry, Canada sinks deeper into massive debt.

As shareholders of their oil industry, Norwegians reap dir-

ect benefits. They live carefree with social benefits almost free like medicare, den-tal care, pharmacare, child day care and university education. Norway even pro-vides free university education to any stu-dent from anywhere around the world.

In Canada, the pri-vatized oil industry gets generous cor-porate welfare while many university stu-dents struggle work-ing at three jobs to pay tuition fees and debts.

Why not give the government an ulti-matum that you want Canada to advance and be like Norway where the people run their own oil industry or you will find or form a political party that will?

Robert CichockiKelowna

Dear Editor:I have contemplat-

ed whether or not to comment on the job action that is being executed by the B.C. Teachers Federation through striking.

I was involved on more than one occa-sion in this practice as a last resort standing against government

restraint.And I know full

well I will be damned by my ex-comrades for my input.

As a former School District 67 employee I feel I am living a fairly comfortable retirement, thanks to the many hardships and negotiations we endured through the

70s and 80s, I can hon-estly say the tactics and strategy current-ly being undertaken by the powers that be are underhanded to say the least. Teach-ers have always had the short end of the stick as far as being misrepresented in the public eye, as work-ing eight hours a day,

and just nine months out the year.

As a former cus-todian I have to beg to differ and set the record straight regarding that mis-conception. Teachers are so dedicated as to label them habitual workaholics.

In the 28 years of my job experience,

whether waxing floors, refurbishing gym floors, sham-pooing carpets, etc., there was no way of deterring the teachers from their workplace.

Some of them were obsessed with class preparation and last minute details.

So for all those frus-trated parents whose

so-called baby-sitters are on strike, don’t be so selfish.

Is it that long ago you had that extra half hour with your teacher because you were hung up on a subject or problem?

How soon we for-get.

Teachers have been misrepresented

Rainfall on Wed-nesday afternoon and Thursday helped to bring a temporary reduction in the fire risk in Summerland and the surrounding area.

The rain started on July 23 around 3 p.m.

By the following morning, 12 milli-metres had fallen.

“It’s a reprieve for now,” said Summer-land fire chief Glenn Noble, “ but 12 mm isn’t a whole lot.”

The campfire ban implemented on July 16 and the clos-ure of Giant’s Head Mountain Park to vehicle traffic on July 18 both remain in place.

Noble said the park will remain closed to vehicle traffic until after the weekend.

The fire depart-ment will reevaluate the risk this week.

While the rain has helped to reduce the fire hazard, a light-ning strike on Wed-nesday afternoon resulted in a wild-fire on a hillside in the Garnett Valley area.

Flames from the fire were visible from the road. The fire reached a size of around 93 square metres.

“It was difficult to access but the guys made their way out there,” Noble said.

Forestry crews also arrived to battle the blaze, which was 100 metres outside Sum-merland’s bound-aries.

The fire was extin-guished that even-ing.

By the weekend, the hot and dry summer weather had returned to the region.

When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced.

“The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.”

Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheel-in shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.”

Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home.

The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Connie Denesiuk, a long-time school trustee from Sum-merland, will repre-sent the Liberals in the South Okanagan-West Kootenay riding in the next federal election.

She was acclaimed at a reception in Pen-ticton on Saturday.

“I’m pretty excit-ed,” she said. “I think Canada needs a change.”

The next Canadian federal election is scheduled for Oct. 19, 2015.

Denesiuk said the new riding, which

includes Penticton and the South Oka-nagan as well as the Boundary and West Kootenay areas, is large and diverse.

She will spend the next year getting to know the people and the issues facing the riding.

Summerland is not included in the new riding.

Instead, Sum-merland will be part of the Okanagan-Coquihalla riding, which also includes Peachland, West Kelowna, Merritt and Logan Lake.

Food Bank fundraiserThe Summerland IGA held a two day fundraising event on the weekend, with all proceeds going to the Summerland Food Bank. Owner of the store Colin Powell and Brandon Wells cooked hamburgers and hot dogs, while Teresa Powell handed out samples of fresh cooked sockeye salmon to the public. Volunteers helping serve were 13-year-old Tristen Brown, 10-year-old Bethany Brown, 11-year-old Molly Kennedy and Lisa Miller. The event raised $458.

Seven teams from Abbotsford, Fleet-wood, Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey and Ridge Meadows par-ticipated.

Games started on Saturday morning.

At noon on Sat-urday, all teams gathered for open-ing ceremonies with Mayor Janice Perrino, Softball B.C. sen-ior coordinator Jeff Snowdon, umpire in chief Darryl Tarr and all the men in blue, Lindsea Cutt and Summerland Minor Fastball president Carol Van Balkom. Perrino threw the opening pitch.

The double knock-out round started Sat-urday at 5 p.m. with Fleetwood Devils in first place.

The rest of the teams from second to seventh place played right away.

The first team to be knocked out with two losses were the Vancouver Charac-ters, but they said they had a great time while in Summer-land.

Fleetwood Ban-dits played a game first thing Sunday morning and won that game. They continued by win-ning the next game advancing them to the final on Sunday at 4 p.m.

The Burnaby Chaos won their first game Sunday mor-ning but lost to Ban-dits 5-1 in the second

game. They then played Abbotsford Fireballs which they won 8-1 to advance to the finals.

The Abbotsford Fireballs lost their first game Sunday but won the next one 11-10 over Fleetwood Devils, only to lose to Chaos 8-1 to take third place.

The Fleetwood Bandits, coached by Dan Brown, and Bur-naby Chaos, coached by Lyle Saito, played the final seven-inning game on Sunday at 4 p.m. with the Bandits winning 7-4 to claim the senior ladies D provincial champion-ship.

People involved with the tournament included the Cutt family, the Martin family, the U14 Scor-pions team, Tom Nel-son, Bob Van Balkom. Janet Weir, the Know-les family, the Jamie-son-Harvey family and all scorekeepers and Jeff Snowdon, Softball B.C. coordin-ator.

tank and a surprise ball game between the parents and play-ers.

The awards for most sportsmanlike and most improved were also given out that evening.

lor, coached by Tyler Chick and Brock Doyle; U14 Xsara Jamieson-Harvey, coached by Dave Martin, Mike Wright, and Rick Buchan; U16 Jessica Erhardt, coached by Tom Nel-son, and Jenny Chick

Meal program seeks driversby John Arendt

Organizers of Summerland’s Meals on Wheels program would like to add a few more volun-teer drivers to make deliveries.

Charlotte Burley, coordinator of the program, said there are 26 drivers, but most will deliver the meals in pairs.

“If we had half a dozen to a dozen more volunteers, it would make me real-ly happy,” she said. “Right now we are not as flexible as I’d like us to be.”

The program deliv-ers lunches to around 30 clients in Summer-land on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri-days.

Delivering the meals on a tight schedule and over a wide area within the community is a chal-lenge for the drivers.

Burley schedules drivers to deliver meals one day a week, but some driv-ers are not available if they are away dur-ing the winter or hosting out-of-town visitors during the summer.

As a result, instead of having three delivery routes, the volunteer drivers are sometimes sent to deliver the meals in two routes. This results in rushed visits with the meal recipients.

Burley said the contact with the recipients is one of the rewarding aspects of the drivers’ respon-sibilities.

“You meet some absolutely amazing people,” she said. “The clients are very appreciative and the personal touch is cru-

cial.”Those interested

in volunteering as drivers are asked to contact Burley at 250-494-1173.

Sun safetyVolunteers with the Canadian Cancer Society, Nishat Tasnim and Alex Cloherty, were at Rotary Beach on Saturday. They had umbrellas set up on the beach and were handing out pamphlets and sunscreen samples in order to help educate the public about sun safety and skin cancer.

Olympian will compete in Germany next month

by Carla McLeodSpecial to the

Review

The winter Olym-pics are the farthest thing from one’s mind in the middle of a hot Okanagan sum-mer. That is unless you spot Justin Kripps on the streets of downtown Sum-merland.

The two-time Can-adian Olympic bob-sledder, who grew up in Summerland has been home visiting friends and family.

Although he con-tinues to train local-ly five days a week while he is here, it is a relaxing time for him.

“It’s one of my favourite things about the summer, coming here for at least a couple of weeks,” said Kripps. “I’m really thank-ful to be from such a supportive commun-ity of great people. I always get lots of congratulations when I come back. People stop me on the street and ask me how I’m doing and talk about the season.”

Kripps speaks of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics as a good experience.

“We had some success and some problems, but for me at that point in my career as a driver, the goal of the sea-son was to qualify for the Olympics,” he said. “My goal was to come inside the top ten if I qualified. That would have been an achievement in itself.”

Once he got to the Olympics and started to do really well, his goals changed.

“I took the approach that rath-er than be safe and come inside the top ten, we should just risk everything and go for the medals, so that is what we did,”

Kripps explained. “It was obviously a long shot but I’m happy we did it.”

Unfortunately this decision resulted in a crash. Thankfully no one on the team was seriously injured.

“As far as crashes go it was pretty run of the mill,” Kripps said. “Where it gets hard for a pilot is where you need to drive less, because every steer you make slows the sled down a little bit,” he explained. “You’re sort of on the edge of being in control and being in danger all the time, because that is how you go fast. We call it letting

the sled run. Control-ling it the least you can without crashing. You have to be on the edge to be fast and to win medals.”

After the crash the team did another run, starting off with a massive dis-advantage. They didn’t have much of a chance of getting anything other than last place.

“We came down in 10th place on that run,” Kripps said. “That is a testament to the crew still being able to push well and me being able to drive the track fast.”

Kripps is looking forward to doing a summer road race in

Germany in the mid-dle of August.

“I’ve never actual-ly driven a summer race bobsleigh before, so it’s going to be dif-ferent,” he said. “It’s the first time they have invited a North American Pilot to the competition, so it’s a bit of an honour.”

He explained that this race will be on pavement. Rather than steel runners on the bottom of the sled, that run on ice, there are a series of thick rubber wheels that look like a giant rollerblade. Speeds of more than 100 kilo-metres an hour are still reached with bumpers lining the

course to prevent a crash into the crowds.

“I’ll take a few practise runs and then take the same attitude as in the Olympics…I’ll just go in and try and run the

thing and see what happens.”

Kripps has been training since May and is looking for-ward to the upcom-ing World Cup Sea-son. The circuit will take him to tracks in Calgary, Lake Placid, Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland and Russia.

“We want to come out hard and estab-lish ourselves as a podium team the next couple of years, so we have a lot of momentum and the experience of win-ning when we go into the next Olympics in 2018 in South Korea,” Kripps concluded.

Kripps lives and trains in Calgary dur-ing the racing season and calls Vancouver home during the off season, but for now he’s soaking up the sunshine and enjoy-ing his home town visit.

Roberta Jean Miles(nee Borton)

Of Summerland, BC, passed away peacefully on July 20, 2014 at Prairie Valley Lodge, Summerland at the age of 97.

Survived by her loving family: Daughters: Valerie (David) King of Wimborne, Dorset, England, Gillian (Fred) Lindsay of Summerland, Judith (Dale) Stevenson of Okanagan Falls, Grandchildren: Shannon (Dean) Stevenson of Whiterock; Matthew Stevenson of Ladner; Andrew (Claire Walker) Lindsay of Montreal; Joanne (David) Johnson of Bentonville, Arkansas, and Great Grandchildren: Jessica and Daniel Johnson and Isaac Lindsay. Predeceased by her husband, Ted (2009). Jean was born in Victoria, BC in December 1916 but from a very early age was raised in Poole, Dorset, England by her beloved grandfather Robert Foster and his wife Elizabeth. During her time in England (1921 – 1951) Jean met Ted Miles and they were married on Christmas Day in 1939. In 1951 along with their three daughters, (Valerie, Gillian and Judith) Jean and Ted emigrated to Summerland BC where Jean’s mother Margery Snow was living. Jean worked for the Income Tax Office in Penticton until retirement. She was an avid reader, a marvellous creator of knitted, sewn or embroidered crafts. Jean got great pleasure spending her time with the ladies of the St. Stephens Anglican Church Alter Guild creating many projects to enhance the Church and helping with Church events. She was an active member of the Ladies Auxiliary to the Royal Canadian Legion. As a loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother, she will be greatly missed. Funeral service will be held on July 31, 2014 at 2:00pm at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, 9311 Prairie Valley Road, Summerland with Reverend Rick Paulin officiating and Reverend John Briscall assisting.

Born in Summerland October 7th, 1915; passed away peaceful-ly at Penticton Regional Hospital July 14th, 2014 with family at her side. Predeceased by parents, Findlay & Violet Munro; hus-band, James Hale; brothers, Donald and Philip Munro; sisters, Sybil Brown and Winona Ellis. Survived by her daughter, Vio-let (Bill) Ward; son, Larry; grandchildren, Michael Ganzeveld (Melissa), Alison Childs (Paul), Chris Ward (Sarah); eight great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews—too many to list but loved deeply and unconditionally by “Granny”.Born to pioneer parents, young Malinda was known as “Lin” or “Linnie”. She was a true Canadian Frontier Woman, strong, tough, stubborn, independent, hardworking, yet kind, gener-ous, warm, loyal, and always positive. Early life on the farm in Meadow Valley was demanding as Scottish Father and English Mother carved out a life for their fi ve children. A log house was home, a rock fi replace was heat. A one room school and one teacher was early education.On the farm she herded cattle on the “Bald Range” on horse-back, milked cows, pitched hay, chased bulls and carried fi sh in milk cans to stock Munro Lake (named aft er her Father). She still found time to play soft ball for Summerland riding 10 miles and back for each game. Time for mischief as she formed part of the Rattlesnake Gang with brothers Donald & Philip—they raided Summerland, riding in on horses, returning with their “loot” pineapple, candy and cigarettes (no money) stashing it in a cave above the school (they never got caught).Aft er grade 12 and work in Summerland, where she met her one true love, James Hale, they married and had two children. Aft er the war, she moved to Penticton, working hard physical jobs and fi nally landing at the old & new hospitals as a Practi-cal Nurse for 30 years, where she touched many lives with her kindness and humour. She even chopped down the huge pine tree blocking the kids view of the Drive-In theatre (never got caught). She took early retirement to homecare her aging par-ents and aft er their passing she became known as “Granny” and continued her life of helping and sharing with everyone.She was never dull—as a union leader she drank beer in the Incola Hotel with Tommy Douglas—loved John Wayne mov-ies yet had a special place in her heart for First Nations people and proudly rode her horse side by side with Billy Kruger in the fi rst Penticton Peach Festival Parade. She will always be re-membered for her passionate love of children and animals. A life of giving, a full life, a true warrior.No funeral by request—A Celebration of Life to be held at a later date. Special thanks to Dr. Watters, the staff at Penticton Hospital and Norlinda Amatorio. Memorial tributes may be directed to the BC SPCA (2200 Dartmouth Dr., Penticton, V2A4C2).

Weekly concerts planned for AugustThe Summerland

Community Arts Council is start-ing an exciting new community event this upcoming week called Wednesdays on the Water.

W e d n e s d a y s on the Water is a musical concert ser-ies that will happen every Wednesday night during the month of August at Spirit Square, Peach Orchard Beach (weather permitting).

Concerts will run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and feature all local musicians.

The community is invited to bring a pic-nic, a blanket and a lawn chair to enjoy an evening of local talent. There will be different groups per-

forming and different genres every week so that we have a little something for every-one to enjoy.

The idea for Wed-nesdays on the Water started in early June after attending a Thompson Okanag-an Network of Arts Councils (TONAC) meeting. We dis-covered that many Arts Councils in the Okanagan are organ-izing similar events for their communities during the summer.

It is a great way to support local musi-cians and as for the SCAC, supports our mandate of promot-ing and facilitating the awareness and appreciation of the arts in the Summer-land area.

The SCAC have partnered with a number of local busi-nesses who are spon-soring these evenings of music and we are hoping to make this an annual event.

Watch for our post-ers around town or check out our website summerlandarts.com for updated notifica-

tions of performers for this event.

The Summer Arts Program for Kids ages three and up is still taking registra-tions.

A new class of encaustics for kids has been added for student’s ages 10 and up, Aug. 5 to 8. Stu-dents participating will spend these four days learning many different ways to paint with pigmented beeswax using the encaustic painting iron and stylus.

Bethany Handfield is a local encaustics artist and has been teaching classes with the SCAC for the past three years. She will be teaching studio safety when working with the hot wax and

each day students will go home with a completed painting

or craft. Carmen McDow-

ell is the Summer Art

Program coordinator at the Summerland Arts Council.ARTS
