Drivers urged to brakePolice urge motorists to reduce speed around stopped emergency vehicles

John Arendt

Police are urging motorists to slow down when they pass official vehicles stopped on the side of the road.

Operation Shield, a provincewide initia-tive, was launched

on Tuesday to remind drivers to slow down for official vehicles stopped with their lights flashing.

If the speed limit is 80 kilometres an hour or more, motor-ists must slow to 70 km/h when passing. If the speed limit is slower than 80 km/h, motorists must slow to 40 km/h.

Drivers who do not slow down could face a fine of $173 and three points on their licenses.

Cpl Ronda Rempel of B.C. RCMP Traffic Services said legisla-tion came into place in 2009, but driv-ers continue to pass stopped emergency vehicles without slowing down.

She said more than 200 workers have been injured and 15 have been killed on the high-ways over the past 10 years.

Emergency work-ers in Summerland say they have had

many near misses while stopped on Highway 97.

“We’ve almost been hit multiple times,” said Cst. Janice March of the Summerland RCMP detachment. She added that one police officer had several close calls during one stop.

“As soon as you see the lights flash-ing, slow down,” she said.

Fire chief Glenn Noble said firefight-

ers often observe motorists who do not slow down when passing emergency crews at an accident scene.

“We even have people passing us when we’re going to a call,” he said.

In addition, some of the passing motor-ists will use their smart phones to take a picture of the acci-dent while they are driving past.

He urges drivers to pay attention to the

road, not the activ-ity at the emergency scene they are pass-ing.

Thomas Ratcliffe, unit chief of the ambulance station in Summerland, said paramedics need a safe area in which to work when they are attending a traffic accident.

He said the attend-ants tend to park vehicles at a scene in order to create a safe space for themselves to work.

Breweries, distill-eries and meaderies will be allowed to open up on farmland in the Agricultural Land Reserve pro-vided they meet the same rules set out for wineries.

That’s one of a series of reforms announced by the province Monday that aim to make it easier for farmers to set up agricultural processing plants and otherwise earn more money from their land.

As with wineries in the ALR, at least half the farm ingredi-ents that go into the beer, spirits or mead must be grown on the farm.

Agriculture Min-ister Norm Letnick noted hops farming is on an upswing in areas such as Chilli-wack and Kamloops, and predicts the rule change will create an incentive for more farmers to take a risk

and get into beverage production.

“If that means you can enjoy some mead or some beer on a piece of farmland and that’s what it takes to get that farmland back into production, I’m okay with that,” Letnick said in an interview at an herb farm in Surrey.

ALR land can also now be leased for farming without applying to the Agri-cultural Land Com-mission – a move the province hopes gets more unused land into production.

Another rule change will make value-added process-ing easier by letting farms band together as co-ops and count all their members’ crops toward meet-ing the same 50 per cent local content rule. That’s expected to allow clusters of farms to feed into a plant in the ALR that makes something like juice or jam without seeking ALC approv-al.

Metro Vancouver previously registered concern that looser rules for non-farm uses may result in less land being farmed and a further climb in farmland prices beyond what new farmers can afford.

“Some people wanted us to do more, some wanted us to do less,” Letnick said.

“I firmly believe that we’ve come up with the right bal-ance that promotes agriculture and safe-guards agriculture but also provide for more opportuni-ties for farmers to earn income on their land.”

Winery restaurants in the ALR will now be allowed to serve alcohol they didn’t produce, such as beer.

Some reforms apply only on farm-land outside the Lower Mainland, Letnick said, because he said farmers face a tougher struggle to earn a living in areas such as the Interior, North and Koote-nays.

A second home can now be built on large parcels of at least 50

hectares in the ALR’s rural Zone 2 provided residential uses make up less than 43,000 square feet.

Letnick said that could allow farm-ers to build another house for family, lodging for workers, or a rental to earn extra money to sup-port the farm.

Similarly, retir-ing farmers in Zone 2 will be allowed to sell the farm but lease back their farmhouse from the new farm owner, who can build another home on the property.

It’s hoped that will help those retir-ing farmers sell their farms but encourage them to stay there and perhaps mentor a new, younger farm-er, Letnick said, and meet the challenge of the coming “gen-erational change” in agriculture.

Second dwellings are still on the same parcel of land, which can’t be subdivided without asking the ALC.

More proposed reforms relating to agri-tourism are still being considered and are to be put to

local governments for feedback in the fall.

Asked if he intends to increase the ALC’s budget so it can hire more compliance and enforcement officers – just three officers patrol the entire province for viola-tions like illegal fill

dumping – Letnick said that’s under con-sideration.

He said the ALC’s budget is now $3.4 million, up from $2 million, and poten-tial increases will be discussed with new ALC chair Frank Leonard.

ALR regulations change

Highway drivers who hog the left lane and hold up faster traffic without a good reason now face potential $167 fines, with three penalty points.

The clarified regu-lation took effect June 12 and requires drivers to stay right on routes where the speed is more than 80 kilometres per hour when other traffic is approaching from behind.

The exceptions in which the left lane is okay is when you’re overtaking and pass-ing another vehicle, leaving the right lane open to allow traffic to merge, preparing for a left hand turn, or moving left to pass an official vehicle with a flashing light.

The rules do not apply to HOV lanes – the next lane to the right is considered the left-most lane on routes such as High-way 1 in Burnaby.

Another change will allow municipal-ities to permit motor-cycle parking within six metres of intersec-tions with stop signs or signals, so long as sight lines aren’t blocked.

‘Left lane hog’ rule kicks in

Fruit discarded on Cedar Avenue

John Arendt

A pile of rotting apples, dumped beside Cedar Avenue last week, could bring bears into the area, a wildlife official says.

Lisa Scott noticed the discarded fruit

and contacted bylaw enforcement and WildSafe B.C.

“This is the first time I have seen apples dumped like this in our neigh-bourhood,” she said. “More commonly I have observed fruit left to rot on trees, but nothing deliber-ately dumped along a roadside. It was very

upsetting to see this.”Zoe Kirk, Wild-

Safe B.C. Commun-ity Coordinator with the Regional District of Okanagan Similka-meen, said bears are still in the area and could be attracted by the smell of the dis-carded fruit.

Kirk explained that bears leave the valley bottoms for higher

ground later in the season, but discarded fruit will keep them here.

“If somebody’s going to dump apples like that, it’s lunch for them,” Kirk said.

In addition to bears, Kirk said the rotting fruit attracts rodents, which in turn bring coyotes to the area.

She said fruit from local trees should be dumped at the land-fill, not along the road.

Fruit producers should flail the fruit and then use it as fertilizer. The flailed fruit tends to decom-pose quickly and does not attract bears to the area.

Scott said in past

years bears have been a problem in and near Palmer Place where she lives.

She said in the spring of 2006, nine bears were observed in the area. All had to be put down.

Bear encounters have been a problem elsewhere in the com-munity as well.

Over the past sev-eral years, WildSafe B.C. representatives have urged the muni-cipality to take meas-ures to discourage bears.

In addition to dis-carded fruit, Kirk said garbage and recyclable materi-als left out overnight serve as attractants for bears.

A bear is able to smell food from up to a kilometre away.

Kirk, provincial conservation officers and representatives of the regional district will meet with muni-cipal council mem-bers later this month to discuss ways to discourage bears in the community.

Discarded applesRotting fruit was discarded along Cedar Avenue recently. At this time of year, bears in the valley bottoms are drawn to the smell of decaying food.

The Pacific North-west LNG plant pro-posed near Prince Rupert now has pre-liminary investment approval from its proponents, prompt-ing confidence from

Natural Gas Development Minis-ter Rich Coleman that the massive project could be under con-struction by the end of this year.

The consortium led by Malaysian firm Petronas confirmed it’s ready to proceed and the only condi-tions for a final invest-ment decision are federal environment-al review approval and B.C. govern-ment approval of the project development agreement.

The Legislature is expected to be

recalled this summer to pass the deal pro-viding tax and roy-alty certainty clear-ing the way for an expected $11-billion investment.

“It would only be derailed, I suppose, if there was some-thing in the environ-mental assessment that makes the project impossible,” Coleman told reporters Friday.

He said a con-struction start is pos-sible late this year that would see the first LNG shipments moving by the end of 2019.

The outlook for LNG prices has darkened recently but Coleman said Petronas and its Asian partners have long-term contracts to sell the first 12 mil-lion tonnes of LNG.

“This product is basically sold. They

have the commercial viability on this one.”

Another prob-lem for the project is aboriginal accept-ance.

The Lax Kw’alaams First Nation recently voted down a $1 bil-lion cash offer from Petronas.

More project design work and research is underway to address aboriginal concerns about the potential impact on salmon habitat at Flora Bank near the project site, Coleman said.

“I think I see a sight line where we can satisfy the commun-ity,” he said. “I think as we come through that you’ll see that the Lax Kw’alaams will come together with every other first nation that’s already endorsed the project in the area.”

He described the

opportunity as one of “generational change” for small first nations.

The federal e n v i r o n m e n t a l review has been

paused while more information on potential habitat risks was sought. A final decision is considered possible by fall.

Petronas tentatively commits to LNG plant

My heart goes out to the family, friends and colleagues of Const. Daniel Woo-dall, the hate crimes officer who was gunned down in Edmonton last week.

The tragedy that took hold of west Edmonton is a reminder of the ever-present danger police put themselves in and the bravery of those who don the badge.

Having spent around four years liv-ing in Edmonton, and prior to that growing up three hours away, this one hit close to home.

It was heartwarm-ing to see the out-pouring of support for the Edmonton Police Service, even notions as small as the changing of Face-book profile pictures to the EPS patch worn by Edmonton officers.

Not everyone was willing to use the soap-box that is the Internet to show their sup-port. No, some people picked the worst pos-sible moment to, in so many words, say a phrase made popular

by former rap group N.W.A. I won’t repeat it here, that’s what Google is for.

Too soon doesn’t even begin to cover it. Yes, police should be held to a higher standard of scrutiny than most; yes, abuse from police is real and should always be investigated with the public’s interest at heart, but find another time and place to make your argument. Save those comments for the officer who broke up a Texas pool party, waving his gun around at a bunch of teenagers like it was made of candy and shot out lollipops.

What I get from the

dichotomy of these events seems like an ever-present truth, no profession is perfect.

There are good doctors and bad doc-tors, bad journalists and good journalists, good people and bad people.

Generalizations are dangerous, and used far too commonly in print, or even in every-day conversation. If you start a sentence with “Police always ...” or “Hockey fans are ...” or, my personal favourite, “The media ...” then I can guaran-tee without a doubt that whatever follows is going to be factually inaccurate.

We as humans like to group things, to make sense of the gigantic scales of the Earth that our five senses are barely equipped to under-stand. This gets dan-gerous when deal-ing with groups of people. It happens all the time in politics.

“The conservative right thinks ...” Let me stop you right there, no they don’t. You’re generalizing to make

your point. Joe Blow might vote conserva-tive for fiscal reasons, maybe his views on abortion differ, and that goes for every one of the thousands of unique conserva-tive voters out there.

It reminds me of Kevin O’Leary warn-ing us all that the sky was falling and that oil companies (a gen-eralization) weren’t going to work with Rachel Notley’s orange Alberta. Nice try Kevin, but a swing and a miss.

Generalizing race is a common practice as well. Phrases like “Black voters ...” or “First Nations vot-ers ...” are a good way of summing up some data, but those statements aren’t off to a good start as far as being truthful or accurate. They’re real-ly just talking points.

My afore-mentioned favourite “the media ...” gets thrown around just as often as “the cops ...” — but can the thou-sands of people who are essentially just doing their jobs, with

different values, races and religions really get lumped together as one big metaphor-ical vulture? I would say not, but hey, I’m one of those vultures, so I’m a touch biased.

Pobody’s nerfect, and it’s a common political tactic that many don’t seem to realize is the status quo: pick one per-son associated with a group that makes them look bad, and draw the focus their way to further your own agenda, right or wrong be damned.

Just remember when you go to write an insensitive com-ment that, while you may not agree with their career choice or values, police, law-yers, doctors, chefs and students are groups made up of people, each their own unique person who eats, sleeps and breathes just like you.

We’re all in this together, at least until we set up base camp on Mars.

The truth behind generalizationsB.C.Views

Dale Boyd

YOUR VIEWS

An emergency vehicle or tow truck stopped on the road with lights flashing should be a sign for motorists to slow down and pass with caution.

For years, laws have been on the books requiring B.C. drivers to slow down when passing official vehicles stopped on the side of the road, but too many drivers ignore these laws.

As a result, emergency workers have to face near misses during routine stops or when attending accidents. Some work-ers have been injured or killed.

On Tuesday, a provincewide initiative was launched to remind drivers to slow down around official vehicles with their lights flashing.

The fact that such a campaign was deemed necessary suggests the prob-lem is real. There is a risk for emergency workers when they have to stop on a highway.

So far, Summerland emergency work-ers have been fortunate.

While they have far too many stories of close calls, they have not had injuries or deaths as the result of drivers speeding past them. Still, the risk is present and it is a reality they face in the course of their jobs.

Drivers who do not slow down present a risk for emergency workers, as do driv-ers who turn to look at the incident rather than focussing on their driving. Such behaviours increase the chance of a pre-ventable accident.

A call for motorists to slow down and pay attention when passing stopped emergency vehicle should be common sense. It’s about safety.

Any time a vehicle is stopped on the road, there is an effect on the flow of traffic and road safety in the immediate area.

Highway 97 through Summerland has been the site of far too many accidents, including some with fatalities.

Those who patrol the streets and roads and those who respond to accidents should be able to do their jobs without a needless and preventable risk to their safety.

Weather watchWeather was a key factor in much of the research conducted by the scientists at the Experimental Farm (now the Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre.) This photo, taken in the 1930s, shows the weather station where interesting equipment provided helpful data to the researchers. If the weather had been the same then as it is this year they might have scratched their heads and reconsidered the varieties of fruits they were testing — and lemon and orange trees would be sharing our orchard space with the cherries, peaches and apples.

THE EARLY YEARS

Summerland Review Thursday, June 18, 2015 O p i n i O n s www.summerlandreview.com 5

Dear Editor:The sudden can-

cellation of the 2015 Summerland Fall Fair came as a surprise.

We both have been involved with this century-old festival as a vice-president, secretary, convener, special events dir-ector, website and Facebook adminis-trator.

It was a lot of work and we always had to struggle with low participation at the board level. Nevertheless, even a handful of directors with strong leader-ship could produce this annual keystone event.

So we have to ask ourselves what went wrong this year?

An audit by the B.C. Gaming Com-mission by itself could not cause financial challenges. Yet this was one of the key reasons for cancelling this year’s fair.

The question is: was an application made and did the Gaming Commission provide funding?

If funding was not received, why were council or the pub-lic not notified and given the oppor-tunity to contribute funds or provide sponsorships?

Shortages of dir-ectors was the other reason cited for can-celling the fair.

This could have been addressed by contacting former directors and asking for their help.

In a crisis situa-tion with the threat of cancellation a dir-ect appeal would cer-tainly have mobilized some of us.However, we never received such a call.

The Summerland Fall Fair is managed by a registered, char-itable society called the Summerland Exhibition Associa-tion.

This society must comply with B.C. regulations and with its own bylaws.

One of the require-ments is an Annual General Meeting and the election of the Board which will exe-cute the Fall Fair for the following year.

The AGM takes place in October or November. In prep-aration of the AGM the current board must invite all mem-bers and nominations can be made.

Once the board is elected, the new executive is deter-mined. This execu-tive will then decide how to organize next year’s Fair and when to start this process.

Mr. Broesch’s statement that plan-ning for the Fall Fair should only start in February is pre-mature. It may not be his decision at all.

His assertion that the planning process could be abbrevi-ated is unsubstanti-

ated since the current executive has never managed a fall fair.

Now that the 2015 Fall Fair has been cancelled, we would like to see the executive make a public presenta-tion to council and explain what they are doing to ensure that the hundreds of items required to conduct the fall fair are stored in such a manner that they can be retrieved next year without loss or damage.

How will they ensure that member-ship is maintained, finances are in order and a successful grant application can be conducted for the next year?

How will they make sure that we do not lose our 150 dedicated volunteers, suppliers, entertain-ers and food vend-ors?

And how they intend to involve those who have suc-cessfully managed the Summerland Fall Fair in the past?

The most import-ant task will then rest with us, the commun-ity at large.

We need to find out why unlike many other societies, the fall fair has such a hard time assem-bling and main-taining a qualified and hard-working board that does not need to be recreated every year.

Perhaps we all need to take a hard look at how we have supported the fall fair in the past and how we can do bet-ter. Because without active public support throughout the year the Summerland Fall Fair will never be held again.

Al and Catherine Carter have gone over and beyond the call of duty supporting the community and listening to sugges-

The staff is cheerful and helpful, the store is well maintained.

I will definitely be supporting a locally run store in the future. I hope all Summerland resi-dents look after them.

Q: I was told I had a few fillings and crowns to do, when do I need to get things done? - Paul

A: When explaining what we found during the exam I try to break it down into 3 categories:1. URGENT - infection, pain, decay...these are areas like abscessed teeth, dental decay, broken or cracked teeth that need to be fixed SOON.2. PREVENTATIVE - areas that are at risk for problems in the future...teeth with existing large fillings, wisdom teeth, teeth that are not lined up or a bite that doesn’t fit together. These can be done when convenient for you, keeping in mind that there is a possibility for problems to occur before we get to them.3. COSMETIC - a smile that we want to change the colour or position of the teeth slightly. This is third in line but if you want to lighten your teeth it should be done before fillings/crowns to blend with the new lighter colour.

The other thing to consider is TIME. We can often do the same amount of dentistry in 2-3 appointments as we can in 5-6 visits. Considering time away from work (or play), travel time to/from the office, and stress worrying about going to the dentist, it may be ideal to combine treatment in one area of the mouth instead of working on one tooth at a time.

Hopefully this can help in making your decision on when to get your dental work finished. If we can be of any help, please give us a call.

Ottawa RepORt

Dan Albas

Although there are a number of events occurring in Ottawa this week, the issue that is dominating most of the media spotlight is the recent-ly released audit of the Senate from the Office of the Auditor General.

This audit of the Senate covered the fiscal periods of 2011-2012 and 2012-2013, reviewed $186 million in spending contained in roughly 80,000 expense items involving 116 sitting and recently retired senators. The find-ings? Of the $186 million reviewed in the AG Senate Audit approximately $975,000 has been identified as either questionable or spent in a manner that is not in accordance with senate rules.

This questionable spending involves 30 of the 116 Sen-ators audited; 21 of the 30 senators have been publicly listed in the OAG Sen-ate audit while the remaining nine of these 30 Senators, also publicly named, have been referred to law enforcement for further investiga-tion. The OAG Sen-ate audit also provid-

ed an opportunity for Senators identified in the audit to respond to the expense claims that have been ref-erenced in addition there is also Senate created process that involves dispute reso-lution where there is disagreement.

The Senate expense resolution process will be led by retired Supreme Court jus-tice Ian Binnie.

While it is not pos-sible in the space of this column to list all of the senator responses to the audit to date some senators have admitted error in certain cases and made repayments while other claims are in dispute.

Auditor General Michael Ferguson has also made observa-tions and recommen-dations regarding

the Senate audit that include concerns over a lack of accountabil-ity and transparency and that in many areas senators can make decisions that are more econom-ical for taxpayers. In total the AG has called for a trans-formational change in how expenses are administered and the need to do so in a more accountable and transparent man-ner. My thoughts? I have long been a sup-porter of increased transparency and accountability. This is why I make a point of publishing an annual accountability report that includes many items either not nor-mally publicly dis-closed or not easily located.

To date my annual a c c o u n t a b i l i t y reports have been well received and I encourage all elected officials to find ways to share similar infor-mation.

Once concerning aspect of the senate audit is that while just under $1 million in potentially ques-tionable spending has been identified, the cost of this par-ticular OAG Audit of the Senate is cur-

rently listed as $23.6 million.

While I continue to fully support increased account-ability and transpar-ency it is also import-ant for cost effective solutions to be identi-fied.

Canadians deserve a process that creates confidence in how your tax dollars are spent with regard to expenses of elected Members of Parlia-ment and unelected senators. It is also important to recog-nize that while some have promoted the idea of eliminating or defunding the sen-ate, this could not be achieved without a national constitution-al consensus among all of our Canadian provinces and terri-tories.

Dear Editor:I’m a B.C.-based

filmmaker, born and raised here.

Last summer, I made a short film about the imminent threat that zebra and quagga mussels pose to our province.

At the time, I assumed that the gov-ernment of B.C. must simply be unaware of this threat. I hoped that my film would

help change this. You can watch

the five-minute film at www.protectour-freshwater.ca.

I know now that the provincial gov-ernment is aware. However, for some reason, they have dedicated a mere $1.3 million dollars, spread out over three years, to combat a problem that has cost over $6 billion dollars

in North America so far.

The current action plan is entitled, Early Detection and Rapid Response.

This is based on a glaring falsehood.

In 25 years, in hun-dreds of lakes and rivers across North America, it has been proven again and again that eradication does not exist.

Zebra and quagga

mussels, once in a lake or river, cannot be stopped.

Prevention is the only option. Period. Since all it takes is one boat.

The only way to protect our province is to stop and inspect every single boat that crosses our borders.

Time is not a lux-ury we have. Any-time this summer or next, a boat could easily slip past your very weak border defence and launch in our waters.

Then, the only option will be to sit back and watch as the mussels inevitably spread to every lake and river in B.C..

The damage will be catastrophic, the effects permanent.

The people of B.C. are calling for action. This is an emergency and should be treated as such.

On the benchThe Buddy Bench at Giant’s Head School was presented last week. In the back from left are Tina Martin of Sum-merland Bully Free, teacher Laura Flem-ing and Jenny Mitch-ell, Health Promoting Schools coordin-ator. In front from left are Coun. Toni Boot, superintend-ent Wendy Hyer and Darcy Mullen, princi-pal of Giant’s Head School.

Buddy Bench introduced at Giant’s Head School

A bench in the playground at Giant’s Head School has been set up for children looking for playmates during recess.

The Buddy Bench, an initiative to pro-mote healthy peer relations among students, was intro-duced last week.

Laura Fleming, a teacher at the school,

promoted the idea for the bench after she saw a video about the concept.

Children who do not have any-one to play with at recess can sit on the bench and wait until another student invites them to join in an activity.

Fleming said the bench is intended to teach students to

ensure all students are included in play-ground activities.

Since the bench was set up, Darcy Mullen, principal of the elementary school said it is often empty, since students at the school tend to include others in their activities.

Coun. Toni Boot supported the bench concept.

“When I grew up in Summerland, I would have loved a Buddy Bench,” she said.

“There were lots of times when I had nobody to play with.”

Organizers and school officials hope students will use the bench occasionally, not as a daily way to find playmates.

The invasive aquatic weed, Eur-asian Watermilfoil has made an early appearance in valley lakes. As a result, calls to the Oka-nagan Basin Water Board have already started.

“Usually we are just starting to sur-vey the lakes to see where the milfoil is growing under the water and where we need to start work-ing,” said James Litt-ley, operations and grants manager for the water board.

He added that the first call this year came in last week.

In the summer of 1972, the provincial government part-nered with the water board and started an intensive program to remove the newly introduced, invasive milfoil from Okanag-an lakes.

Early efforts focused on har-vesting the weed, using everything from floating barges to hand-scythes and pitch forks.

The program was handed over to the water board in 1998 and more recent control efforts have included research into breeding special weevils to eat the weed.

Today, the water board employs three operators who spend thousands of hours on the water annually to control the volume of the invader at our beaches, boat launch-es and marinas, at more than 200 sites in

the valley.E c o n o m i c a l l y,

uncontrolled milfoil has negative effects on tourism, and stud-ies have shown that thick milfoil mats can lower lakefront property values by as much as 19 per cent, Littley said.

Environmentally, milfoil robs oxy-gen from the water, increases water tem-perature, slows the flow at the mouths of rivers, and increases polluting nutrients in the water.

It has also been linked to fish kills and loss of biodivers-ity.

Last year, a prov-incial study found the primary factor reducing the flow of Okanagan River out of Vaseaux Lake was milfoil growth.

“The Okanagan River there runs at about 10,000 litres per second in the summer — enough to fill an Olympic swimming pool in around four min-utes — and milfoil

is slowing it down,” Littley said.

Most milfoil in Okanagan lakes is controlled. Wood, Kalamalka, Okanag-an, Skaha and Osoy-oos all receive regu-lar milfoil treatment through the water board’s program.

In the winter, mil-foil operators rototill the weed while it’s dormant.

The roots are then left to freeze and die.

In the summer, the weed is harvested or

mowed two metres below the surface and collected, then trucked to local gar-dens and orchards for fertilizer.

The program takes into account fish and other species habi-tats, spawning sea-sons, sensitive plants, at-risk animals, and special events like tri-athlons.

“This year, the combination of the early snow melt and the record warm temperatures seem to have created per-

fect conditions for the milfoil to grow early,” Littley said.

“We spent extra time on the water over the winter try-ing to get ahead of the summer growing season, but we just can’t compete with the changing cli-mate.”

The threat now is if zebra and quagga mussels get into the Okanagan.

The invasive mussels are vor-acious water fil-ters, allowing light

to penetrate much deeper and increas-ing the habitat for milfoil.

The public can prevent the spread of both species by remembering to clean, drain, and dry our boats and other water equipment.

Now in its 41st year, the program has cost a total of over $18 million.

“This is a drop in the bucket of what the next invasive could cost,” said Litt-ley.

More than 50 people from B.C. and Alberta gathered at Okanagan College in Penticton to take part in a Maker Day 2.0 workshop on Satur-day.

The workshop was facilitated by UBC’s Innovative Learning Centre, in conjunc-tion with the college’s Women in Trades program.

Maker Day is a professional develop-ment approach pion-eered by the Innova-tive Learning Centre at UBC’s Faculty of Education Okanagan Campus, in partner-ship with the Indus-try Training Author-ity.

Maker Day was designed for edu-cators and com-munity members to engage thoughtful-ly in solving a real world issue through a human-centred design-thinking pro-cess using creative problem-finding and prototyping which incorporated new technologies.

The aim of the workshop was to enhance each par-ticipant’s k n o w -ledge of d e s i g n t h i n k -ing and i n t r o -d u c e h a n d s on learn-ing activ-ities that e n c o m -p a s s e d e x p e r i -m e n t a -tion and innovation in engineering, sci-ence, art, perform-ance, simple proto-typing and educa-tion.

It is envisioned

that through the joy of making educa-

tors and community members can take

these approaches, tools and technolo-gies into their prac-tices – whether it be in classrooms, work-shops or NGO activ-ities in East Africa.

Dr. Susan Crich-ton, the Director of the ILC and the Fac-ulty of Education at UBC’s Okanagan Campus said, “when educators become empowered through design thinking they can more easily engage students in hands on, relevant, real world learning activities which in turn allow students to become engaged

and learn deeper and more permanently.”

She added that “the maker move-ment and its inclu-sion of the STEM courses of science,

technology, engin-eering and math are critically important for opening career opportunities for stu-dents.”

This is important

as girls as early as Grade 2 are already making choices not to pursue STEM cours-es.

Crichton says developing a design

and maker mindset is important for embra-cing the new curricu-lum initiatives, espe-cially in applied skills and technologies.

The Maker Day workshop was made possible with a dona-tion from Penny Lane; a non-profit society from Summerland that supports youth development.

“We believe it is important that all students are exposed to making and new technologies at an early age so stu-dents can develop the skills required for their future career paths,” said Orv Robson, chair of Penny Lane.

The Innova-tive Learning Cen-tre, consisting of an incubator space, two design studios and a learning lab, brings academics, educa-tors, researchers and industry leaders together to imagine the future of educa-tion while fostering collaboration and imagination.

The centre is housed within the Faculty of Education at the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus.

committed to telling the truth.


Through the glass doors of the library I saw a little boy with wind blown cheeks and a huge smile dragging a bewil-dered looking man.

I could only assume was his dad in from the cold. The little boy knew exactly where he was and where he need-ed to go and headed straight for the chil-dren’s section.

Dad still looking confused looked to me for confirmation and I assured him that his son knew what he was doing.

They then spent a happy half hour browsing together during which time there were lots of exclamations of “Dad look at this one” or “No Dad, that doesn’t go there”. It was a very special visit to witness as it reinforced to me what an important role Dad plays in a child’s life even in

the small things like a visit to the library.

This Father’s Day weekend we are hav-ing our fifth annual Donuts with Dad event to celebrate the special men in our lives. For the past four years we have been holding a paper airplane contest to see which family has what it takes to win.

Competition is fierce and if you’ve ever attended you may remember the looks of utter concen-tration on the faces of the dads and children alike.

Construction of the planes is a fine art that requires much thought and num-erous test flights, or crashes as the case may be!

The planes can either be constructed of paper or we even have wooden mod-els that can be decor-ated and adapted however you would like. Throughout the

morning you’ll see a constant stream of exhausted dads replenishing their energy supplies through the coffee and donuts we pro-vide. Coffee breaks are short though as there are only two hours to perfect a masterpiece of flight that will break the record and leave them the victor.

At noon we have the ‘Grand Fly-off’ where you get one shot to launch your plane and have it soar to victory. Prizes

are awarded in dif-ferent categories such as the Longest Paper Airplane flight or the Longest Wooden Airplane flight. Kids and dads alike step up to the plate, wait-ing for just the right gust of wind to float them to the winning distance and not right into the tree!

This event is very special to me as it’s something I get to do with my family, my husband and two boys are always there helping. I love getting to see all the different families who come out and join us whether it be dad, grandpa, uncle, brother or whoever. The room is filled with laughter and camaraderie between the competitors, it truly is a family event.

So why not bring dad down to library on Saturday June 20th 10 a.m. to noon to see if he can walk away with the cov-eted bragging rights this year.

If you’re looking for a good Father’s Day read why not check out ‘Boy in the Moon’ by Ian Brown or for a funnier per-spective ‘Sh*t My Dad Says’ by Justin Halpern. Or maybe you want to share a story with your little one you could try ‘Froggy’s Day With Dad’ by Jonathan London or ‘My Father the Dog’ by Elizabeth Bluemle, you can find these and many other reads at the Summer-land Branch.

Having exhausted their quota of ties, tools and sports paraphernalia, many Can-adians struggle every year to come up with thoughtful and affordable gift ideas for Fath-er’s Day.

TD Credit Cards associate vice president, Stacie Pearson offers her top three present

ideas for the dad who has everything:

1. Quality time with Dad – Father’s Day is a great time to sit back and relax with Dad but why not get out and enjoy the day together? You don’t have to break the budget – get outdoors and shoot some hoops at a local park, spend

an afternoon at the movies or catch a game together with tickets to his favourite sports team.

2. Gift cards – No longer the faux pas of present giving, a gift card will give your dad the opportunity to have fun pick-ing out a gift that he is truly excited about.

3. A new skill – Who doesn’t love mastering a new skill? Surprise your dad with class-es to something he’s always wanted to try like gourmet cooking, home beer brewing or sailing.

“The best gifts don’t always come in big, expensive boxes. When it comes to buying pre-

sents for your dad, it’s always the thought that counts. So set a realistic budget and stick to it,” Pearson said. “And if you’re stuck for a unique gift idea or are shopping last minute, a gift card will give your dad the freedom to treat himself to the perfect gift.”

Father’s Day 2015 11 www.summerlandreview.com Thursday, June 18, 2015 Summerland Review

Keep Dad healthy this Father’s DayBe Dad’s exercise buddy. Make an effort to exercise

regularly together, and sched-ule it on the calendar as a reminder.

Working out with a partner encourages you to motivate and hold each other account-able.

Does he like gadgets? Give him a pedometer or heart rate monitor.

These tools will inspire Dad during his workouts and help him track progress and an ideal intensity level.

Help him unwind. A gift certificate for a massage will

give Dad the opportunity to de-stress.

Less stress is healthy for his mind and immune system.

You’re never too old to make a homemade gift.

Activity coupons are a great way to inspire a healthy life-style. Whether you offer him a hike, yard work help, or bike ride, an activity coupon will give you time to spend with each other and get you moving.

Celebrations typically include many indulgent meals.

Use Father’s Day as an opportunity to make tasty, healthy food that the whole

family can enjoy. When it comes to choosing

snacks and meal options, these guidelines are easy to incor-porate into Father’s Day fes-tivities.

Start his Father’s Day out on a healthy note.

Serving Dad breakfast in bed not only shows that you appre-ciate him, but it also sets the tone for a healthy day.

It may even inspire healthy breakfasts throughout the year. Oatmeal, fruit salad, cottage cheese, and scrambled eggs are examples of some delicious, hearty breakfast foods.

Have a heart-healthy cook-out. Does your dad consider himself a “grill master?” Get creative with food choices to make the meal healthier.

Turkey dogs, veggie bur-gers, buffalo burgers, and chicken are great options. Look for packages with a high-er percentage of lean meat.

If beef is more appealing, choose meat that is labeled “choice” or “select.” It also never hurts to throw some vegetables on the grill.

Is he nuts about snacks? Almonds, walnuts, and

hazelnuts pack a lot of nutri-

tion, including healthy fats, protein, Vitamin E, Omega-3 fatty acids, and fiber.

Suggest to Dad that he might want to consider swapping a handful of nuts for the trad-itional bag of chips.

TOPS Club Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the original, nonprofit weight-loss support and wellness education organ-ization, was established more than 63 years ago to champion weight-loss support and suc-cess. TOPS has about 170,000 members in nearly 10,000 chap-ters throughout the United States and Canada.

Hard times may mean that dad is

staying later at the office, losing sleep,

and occasionally faz-ing out during con-versations.

Your father works hard and does his best to keep the family afloat in the roller coaster of life. This Father’s Day, don’t forget to show him your apprecia-tion with these mean-ingful gifts:

Sports equipment, activity classes, or a gym membership.

Pending layoffs and the rising cost for gas, food, and servi-ces are stressors that can cause long–term health issues if they are not addressed.

Exercise is a great way to relieve stress and keep the heart

healthy. Commit to joining dad at the gym with a member-ship, install a basket-ball hoop outside the house, or enroll your parents in a ballroom dance class.

Sometimes dads need to be reminded that there is a big world out there. Camping under the stars together or watching a mean-ingful documentary about the Earth is a great way to do this.

You can also make a donation in dad’s hon-our to a charity like Christian Children’s Fund of Canada (www.ccfcanada.ca) which offers valuable gift items like fruit trees, mosquito nets, clean water wells, and business loans to help struggling families overseas.

A “few of his favourite things” bucket. Fill a large bowl or container with some of dad’s favourite snacks, movies, drinks, and seasonings. If your dad likes spicy food, get a special hot sauce you think he’d enjoy. If he prefers cashews over almonds, make note of it when you’re out shopping. newscanada.com

Remembering our grandfathersIf you think dads

feel neglected after years of forgotten Father’s Day fanfare, grandfathers feel it even more.

Though most men will often shrug that

it’s “no big deal”, you’ve vowed to make things better this year. Get inspired with these gift ideas:

Quality time with you. Most grand-fathers would prefer

spending time with their loved ones to a cheesy joke card and #1 grandpa tie. Tear out a page from your day planner and literally give your whole day to

grandpa, participat-ing in his favourite activities like fishing or birdwatching. Or buy tickets to watch a concert, movie, stand–up comic, or sports event together.

Donate in his honour. Show your appreciation to your grandfather and all the ways he helped to shape you into

who you’ve become. Charities like Chris-tian Children’s Fund of Canada offer valu-able gift items like fruit trees, mosquito nets, clean water wells, and business loans to help strug-gling families over-seas. You can custom-ize a card for your grandpa and show him how his gener-

osity inspired you to help others.

Mp3 player. Rum-mage through his old vinyl records and cassette tapes and find matching mp3s to load onto a player. Then show grandpa how to use his new gadget so he can enjoy music he loves on–the–go.

Photo gifts. Load

all your favourite photos of children and grandchildren into a digital picture frame. Or frame a collage print of your favourite memories for display.

The Summerland Community Arts Council features six unique art shows throughout the year.

Once every year, one of the shows is a community based show which means a call goes out for local artists to create works based around a spe-cial theme.

This year that theme celebrated the 100-year anniversary of the Kettle Valley Railroad.

For the past six weeks, works by 10 local artists featur-ing KVR scenes have been displayed on our walls.

If you haven’t been in to see it you are in luck, the show is on for a few more days until June 20.

The next show is titled The Rip Off Artists, featuring a group of 10 artists from Oliver. Each summer members of this group pick a work by a well-known, deceased artist to copy. After learning about the artist and brainstorm-ing their designs they spend one week cre-ating their works and invite the public to watch their process.

The show at the Summerland Art Centre will feature interpretations of their 2014 pick: Can-adian artist Mimi Parent and her 1963 embroidery titled Queen of the Fish.

When Parent moved to Paris in the 1920s she was influ-enced by the surreal-ist movement.

This was a cultural movement with aims at resolving the con-tradictory conditions of dream and reality.

Artists during this time painted unnerv-ing, illogical scenes with photographic precision, created

strange creatures from everyday objects and developed paint-ing techniques that allowed the uncon-scious to express itself.

Each member of the Rip Off Artists have created their own interpretation of the famous work using their medium of choice. In the past they have had works done in collage, acrylics, needle felt-ing, painted on furni-ture and other found objects, encaustics, quilting, and even woodworking. Selec-tions from previous years will also be in the exhibit.

The opening of this show will be June 25 from 7 to 9 p.m. with an artist talk on June 26 at 2 p.m. at the Summerland Arts Centre, 9908 Main St.

For more informa-tion about the Rip Off Artists please see their website www.ripoffartists.ca or stop by their home base at the Quails Nest Art Centre 5840 Airport Road, Oliver during the week of July 20 to 25 to see them in action on this year’s rip off challenge.

Carmen McDow-ell is the Sum-mer Arts Program coordinator with the Summerland Com-munity Arts Council, P.O. Box 1217, 9908 Main St., Summer-land, B.C. V0H 1Z0.

Bluegrass jamSummerland’s Denise Trudeau, front left and Sharon Dyck, front right, Salmon Arm, share the stage with the band Bix Mix Boys at the Summerland Bluegrass Festival last weekend at the Rodeo Grounds. The Bix Mix Boys were the featured band on Saturday night. This is the 20th anniversary of the festival, started by Denise’s father Lawrence Trudeau.

A youth organization has received $10,000 in funding as a result of a nomination from Nesters Market in Summer-land.

Leanne Sieben, manager of

Nesters, made the nomina-tion.

tion provided the funding at their annual luncheon on May 13.

Sieben said she was proud because the winning entry went to the community.

“I’m really happy that Nest-ers Market has been able to be part of the community,” Sieben said.

“We are a big part of this community, we support what-

ever we can.”Alyson Lindsay, program

manager at Said, was pleased that Nesters Market had nominated the youth organ-ization.

Tennis finalistsThe finalists in the Girls U14 category: Marie Holmes, left and Kinga Kotulska. The tournament was held in Summerland on the weekend.

Canada’s top played Junior Golf Tour, the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour presented by Boston Pizza, held the MJT Ford Series at Swan-e-Set Bay Resort and Country Club in Pitt Meadows, over the weekend of June 6 and 7.

The golfers includ-ed one Summerland-er.

Brycen Ko, 11, out of Richmond, BC, took the MJT Peewee Boys title by a tre-mendous 24 strokes, shooting 71-73 (144) on the well mani-cured, challenging Swan-e-Set track.

In the Junior Boys

17-19 division, six year MJT veteran Ian Kim, 18, of Van-couver, BC, fired an excellent closing round of 70 to shoot 79-70 (149) to win by five strokes over another tour veteran, Shayne LaRochelle of Coquitlam, BC.

Henry Lei, 14, of Surrey, BC, edged out the competition in the MJT Bantam Boys division by a cool seven strokes, aided by his under par second round 79-71 (150).

The MJT Juvenile Boys division cham-pion was 16 year old Mitchell Thiessen from Chilliwack, BC,

who shot 79-75 (154) to narrowly edge out the competition by two strokes. Mitchell credited his win to his chipping, saying his ability to land his shots close enough to one putt was the key to his success. “It feels amazing to win, and coming up clutch in the end.”

The two Girls Divisions fielded 28 players from around B.C. which is won-derful to see in com-petitive junior golf. In the Girls U15 Div-ision, Julie Ju, 14, of West Vancouver, BC, placed first shooting 87-81 (168) to finish above the rest of the

field by two shots. Katherine Chan,

15, another Richmond native, collected the Girls 15-19 cham-pion’s trophy with a great 78-73 (151) score despite tough pin placements.

Players now shortlisted for MJT Team Canada for the Srixon Internation-al Junior Classic in Australia this Octo-ber include Mitchell Thiessen and Kath-erine Chan.

The finalists will be announced once the other qualifiers finish across the country.

Each division had a Mr. Lube Long Drive Competition, a

Sligo Closest-to-the-Pin Competition and a Golf Town Come-back Award for best second day improve-ment in score. From Summerland, Rachelle Nielsen of the Summerland Golf and Country Club was one of the winners in the Sligo Closest-to-the-Pin Competition.

The next Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour stop in British Colum-bia is the MJT Ford Series at The Harvest Golf Club in Kelowna on June 29 and 30. This tournament is also a qualifier for the North American Junior Amateur.

Junior golfers compete in Pitt Meadows

The seventh annual Summerland Rookie Tour-nament was held Sunday, June 14 at Lakeshore Rac-quets Club with the par-ticipation of more than 20 youth from Vernon to Pen-ticton.

An introduction to musicLinnea Good leads students in a song during a session at Giant’s Head Elementary School on Fri-day. Choose Music, a three-hour introduction to music, was held at Trout Creek Elementary School and Giant’s Head Elementary School last week.

Music teachers, leaders and perform-ers gave elementary school students an introduction to music during a conference-style fair last week.

Choose Music was held at Trout Creek Elementary School last Tuesday and at Giant’s Head Ele-mentary School on Friday.

“I want to encour-age children and their parents to choose a balance of activities for extracurricular life — and to include

music,” said Linnea Good, a professional musician and organ-

izer of the fair. “I want them to know how amazing music is for the body, mind and soul. And I want

them to know what the music options are for Summerlanders.”

S h e s a i d mus ica l instruc-tion is e n r i c h -ing and can help p e o p l e in other areas of study.

“Music will make you happy for the rest of your life,” she added.

Throughout the

morning fairs, stu-dents participated in three-hour work sta-tions led by music teachers, leaders and performers.

The 17 workshops included three forms of drumming, three forms of dance and three forms of guitar.

Good said the response from stu-dents and staff at both schools was positive.

She added that she would like to have the music fair return next year.

Medical marijuana patients have a right to possess and use cannabis in the form of cookies and prod-ucts other than dried bud, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled Thursday.

The unanimous decision is a major victory for canna-bis crusaders who argued they should not be forced only to smoke or vapor-ize the drug when edible or topical products are safer and provide bene-fits such as delayed delivery.

“Inhaling mari-huana can present health risks and is less effective for some conditions than administration

of cannabis deriva-tives,” the country’s high court ruled.

It found the feder-al drug law exemp-tion allowing med-ical pot patients access only to dried marijuana violated their constitutional right to life, liberty and security of the person.

Approved patients who illegally baked cookies, brewed pot tea or turned it into oil had faced the threat of criminal prosecution, but not any longer.

“This denial is not trivial,” the court ruled. “It subjects the person to the risk of cancer and bron-chial infections asso-ciated with smoking dry marihuana, and precludes the possi-bility of choosing a

more effective treat-ment.”

The ruling upholds the deci-sion by B.C. courts that dismissed drug trafficking charges against Owen Smith, a Victoria man caught baking pot cookies for a local compassion club.

“It’s a great deci-sion from the point of view of all medically approved patients,” said Abbotsford law-yer John Conroy, one of the lawyers who defended Smith before the Supreme Court.

He said the gov-ernment’s dried-only restriction was unreasonable.

“It forced people to choose between a legal but inad-equate treatment and an illegal but more

effective one.”Conroy is opti-

mistic the Supreme Court’s ruling will also guide another pending case in which medical mari-juana patients have argued before a Fed-eral Court judge that they should be allowed to continue growing their own pot at home, instead of buying only from new commercial pro-ducers authorized by Ottawa.

In that case as well, Conroy and co-counsel Kirk Tousaw argued similar consti-tutional rights are in play – that medical marijuana users are deprived reasonable access if they can’t afford to buy from commercial produ-cers and that they then risk jail if they

grow it themselves or buy on the black market.

That trial took place this spring and the judge has reserved decision.

Conroy predicts Thursday’s ruling will also allow com-mercial producers to start offering canna-bis edibles and topic-als, rather than just dried pot.

The Supreme Court did not give the federal govern-ment time to pass new regulations and instead issued an immediate order that the old restric-tion was no longer in force.

It’s not yet clear how Ottawa will respond, but it could regulate pot deriva-tives through a differ-ent mechanism.

Many Hats The-atre Company has their knickers in a twist over the third show in their 2015 season.

But twisted or not, tickets are on sale now for Nana’s

Naughty Knickers, a Katherine DiSavino comedy for mature audiences.

Bridget, played by Paris Valenci-ana, and her grand-mother Sylvia, played by Donna Lynch, are about to become roommates.

But what Bridget saw as a fun oppor-tunity to spend the summer in New York and stay with her favourite nana soon turns into an experi-ence she is not likely to ever forget.

It seems her sweet, aged grandma is run-

ning an illegal bou-tique from her apart-ment, selling hand-made naughty knick-ers to senior citizens throughout the five boroughs area.

Will Nana get arrested or worse, evicted?

Add in an overly-

helpful police offi-cer, a very grumpy landlord, an employ-ee of Nana’s com-petition along with some hard-working delivery people and you have an even-ing full of confu-sion that Many Hats hopes will leave you

wanting to call your own nana to find out what she might be up to.

Nana’s Naughty Knickers opens on the Cannery Stage on July 2 and runs until July 25.

Performances are Thursday, Friday, and

Saturday at 8 p.m. with a Sunday mati-nee at 2 p.m.

Tickets are avail-able at the Wine Country Visitor Cen-tre at Railway and Eckhardt in Penticton or reserve by phone at 250-276-2170 or 1-800-663-5052.

Summer solstice gathering planned

The sun is about to reach its summer sol-stice and the longest day of the summer on Sunday, June 21.

To mark the event, a gathering will take place at the ‘Pen Henge’ standing stone array on Mun-son Mountain in Pen-ticton that evening.

The public gath-ering is being organ-ized by the Penticton meeting group of the Okanagan Centre of the Royal Astro-nomical Society of Canada and it will feature safe solar viewing through fil-tered telescopes.

If skies are clear, participants will gather at Munson Mountain at around 8.15 p.m.. in antici-pation of seeing the shadow cast by the sun over the sum-mer solstice stone extending gradually toward the central heel stone. Sunset will take place at 8.50 p.m..

The actual time of the solstice will be at 9.38 a.m.

The Pen Henge standing stone array is a project spear-headed by Chris Pur-ton and the Okanagan Astronomical Society which later became part of OC RASC, and which was sup-ported by Penticton City Council and its Parks Department.

The installation, which is located at the top of Munson Mountain above the large ‘Penticton’ sign on the east side of Okanagan Lake, con-

sists of four stones that delineate the sunset points on the four cardinal dates of the year.

Anchored by the Heel Stone, the Equi-nox Stone points to the Sun’s sunset point at both the Spring and Fall Equinoxes, while the other two stones mark the Win-ter and Summer Sol-stice setting points respectively.

Photos of the array and earlier observances can be viewed on the OC RASC website at ocrasc ca through the Image Gallery link and the Pen Henge folder.

Purton, who is a retired scientist at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory at White Lake, refined meas-urements during the summer solstice last year and determined that the moment of sunset will be 8.50.2 p.m,, “provided that the trees on the hori-zon have not grown appreciably.”

A brass plaque with a brief explana-tion of the array is permanently attached to the top of the heel stone.

Who in Summer-land today has heard of the Jolly Boys Club? Not only did this small group of men live up to their name by having fun, they also were instru-mental in attracting tourists to Giant’s Head Mountain.

The Jolly Boys con-sisted of a core group of 10 members, who formed their own independent club after the Jr. Cham-ber of Commerce, to which they had belonged, disbanded. They kept as their same objective, the aim to promote Sum-merland.

“We wanted to see if we could do something to attract tourists,” said Al McIntosh, one of only three members of the club who are still liv-ing.

“This is when the discussion of ‘wouldn’t it be great if we could get a road up Giant’s Head Mountain’ came about. You get a beautiful view of Summerland from the plateau up there. We thought this was the most likely spot to attract people, so we set our minds to that.”

M c I n t o s h explained that at that time, in the early 1950s there was only one road up to the plateau overlooking town. It was the road up from Victoria

Road South and was not very negotiable in the wintertime. The club had the idea of putting in a road on the east side of the Mountain.

“We talked to Don Agur about it and he was very much in favour of the idea and we came up with

quite an attractive deal,” said McIntosh. “We hired Don with his bulldozer.”

It wasn’t long before others in the community became involved.

“At that point Bud Russeau started a tour to the top of Giant’s Head, in his jeep and from there it pretty much took off,” explained McIntosh. “We had no prob-lem getting people with equipment to finish the job. They all thought it was a wonderful idea. Bud was fairly busy. He did us a great favour by starting that jeep service up there.”

According to McIntosh the road that the Jolly Boys Club had roughed in way back then, is still the same road used to access Giants Head Park today.

One of the other main goals of this club was to take their wives on an exotic holiday.

Each member invested $10 per month with the

Investor’s Syndicate to fulfill this objective.

In 1966 the gang and their wives left for a holiday to Hawaii. It was the first flight for some of the members.

They flew from Vancouver to Hono-lulu and returned by steamship, the P&O flagship, the SS Can-berra.

The Jolly boys and their wives also enjoyed other trips over the years, such as a trip to San Fran-cisco and another to Reno, Nevada.

The highlight of each year, for the Jolly Boys was their New Year’s Eve Din-ner and Dance held at the IOOF Hall and it was described by those attending as the best party in town.

“It had to be restricted due to the size of the hall,” McIntosh explained.

“Each member was allowed to bring two couples. We kept it under control very well. If anyone stepped out of line they wouldn’t be

back the next year.”In order to raise

funds the club under-took several projects over the years.

“We demolished Walter ’s Packing-house in Lower Town. We salvaged and sold the lumber,” said McIntosh.

“We also went out and cut Christ-mas trees for the Boy Scouts to sell. We picked and thinned fruit and we did a garbage pickup every year.”

The club would advertise the pickup well in advance and although there was no charge, donations were accepted.

“Time” and “old age” took their toll on the club and they were forced to cease their activities and now only fond mem-ories of the Jolly Boys Club remain.

“We found it very interesting being members,” said McIntosh. “We became like a family. If anybody was hav-ing problems, the others were all ready

to help. It became more of a brother-hood than a club and we stayed close.”

Now when Sum-merland residents

traverse the wind-ing road to the top of Giant’s Head Moun-tain, they too can

remember the Jolly Boys, who first had the vision, to use this unique focal point of our town as a tourist attraction.
