Steam players progressby John Arendt

Players from the Sum-merland Steam Jun-ior B hockey team have advanced in their hockey careers.

This week, Sam Nigg, a forward with the team, was signed to the Thomp-son Rivers University WolfPack.

Nigg played with the Steam in the 2011 to 2012

season and the 2013 to 2014 season.

“I am very excited to play for TRU,” Nigg said. “It is a great school and I have heard nothing but good things about the hockey program as well.”

Nigg had 155 points including 42 goals in 177 games in the Koote-nay International Junior Hockey League.

Gregg Wilson, owner

and general manager of the team, said other Steam players have also advanced.

Michael Winnitoy, a defence player, has signed with the Brooks Bandits in the Alberta Junior Hockey League.

Earlier, Kienan Scott, a left wing player and the Steam’s leading scorer, committed to the Trail Smoke Eaters for the

coming season.Other Summerland

Steam players are also moving on to new hockey opportunities.

“We’ve got the poten-tial of two kids going to NCAA schools,” Wilson said. Another has the pos-sibility of playing profes-sional hockey in Slovakia.

“This is the reward-ing part,” Wilson said, “watching these kids

progressing to another level.”

He added that credit for the players’ success goes to John DePourcq, coach of the team.

Wilson said the play-ers who advance through junior level hockey can look forward to profes-sional careers in the future, with some able to play for National Hockey League teams.

Break and enter incidents increaseSummerland RCMP

observed an increase in the number of break and enters and vehicle thefts in the first three months of 2014, but a decrease in other criminal code

offences.According to the

detachment’s first quar-ter statistics, there were 528 calls for service in the first three months of this year, up slightly

from 519 calls for service in the same time frame in 2013.

Summerlanders offered their sug-gestions for the new library branch at an open house last week.

Michele Rule, c o m m u n i c a t i o n s manager with the Okanagan Regional Library, said around

150 people stopped at the open house last Tuesday.

Three designs were shown for the new building.

The plans are a compact design, using a traditional rectangular design, a vertical plan featur-ing a more elongat-

ed footprint and an L-shaped option.

Each of the plans is around 743 square metres, or more than twice the size of the existing library building on Wharton Street.

The differences are in the configurations, not the total amount

of space, Rule said.In the end, the

vertical plan and the L-shaped plan received the most interest.

While some offered their thoughts about specific details of the new building, Rule said many more were happy to see a lar-ger building in the works. “There were a lot of people who were just happy they’re getting a new library,” she said.

The existing library is 314 square metres. It was built in 1981 and for at least a decade, the need for a larger building has been discussed.

The size of a library is based on the popu-lation of its service area.

The new Summer-land library will be larger than required for the present needs of the community, but it will accommo-date future growth.

Rule said the new facility will take the role of “a community living room.” It will have meeting spaces as well as spaces for books and resource materials.

The plan for the library is expected to be completed by June 25. After that, the library board will make its decision on the plan.

In August, prepar-ation work will begin at the site on Main Street, with construc-tion to begin by the middle of September.

The new facility is expected to open in 2015.

Considerate, confidential and

Summerland and area including:

Personal InjuryTrial Work

Family Law

Probate or Estate AdministrationWhen a person passes away one of the first questions that must be answered is: Did the deceased have a valid will? If the answer is yes, then the process which must be followed to legally deal with their assets is called an application for Probate. If the deceased did not have a valid will then the process is called an application for Estate Administration. Both applications are essentially the same in that they list the assets to be dealt with, appoint a person to be in charge of the estate and then determine who receives those assets or the proceeds from the liquidation of those assets. Where they diverge is the method of determining who the beneficiaries are and the apportionment of the estate between those beneficiaries. In creating a will a person sets out their wishes for the distribution of their estate. Without a will the distribution of an estate is governed by the provisions of the Estate Administration Act. Those provisions are arbitrary and will require the involvement of the Public Trustee on behalf of minor beneficiaries. The consequences of passing away without a properly executed will drawn by your Lawyer can be financially and emotionally devastating to your family or beneficiaries. Without a will your survivors are left without any direction as to how your estate is to be distributed as well as any idea who should be in charge of distributing your estate. Even a very basic will covers these important matters. The passing of a loved one is traumatic enough without family members and survivors having to worry about legal issues. Proper legal advice at all stages of the process is essential to the smooth and worry free transmission of assets through an estate.The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen recognizes the significant value

of volunteers, volunteer groups and agencies to the spiritual, educational, social, cultural, and physical well-being of the region.

On the road, police continued to issue immediate roadside prohibitions and license suspensions for impaired drivers.

From January to March, police issued six 90-day prohibi-tions, six three-day prohibitions and one 24-hour suspension.

There were 18 colli-sions in the first three months of this year.

An exchange of proposals between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and gov-ernment negotiators on the weekend dis-solved in acrimony

Monday, with a full-scale strike in pub-lic schools already underway.

Negotiators for the BCTF and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Associa-tion met until mid-night Sunday, as the

union moved from rotating strikes to a full walkout with a “study session” on Monday.

The two sides con-tradicted each other on the substance of the wage offers, and each said the next

move is up to the other if a deal is to be reached.

BCTF president Jim Iker said a complete strike is “imminent,” after union members endorsed the move in their second prov-ince-wide strike vote.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Monday he is waiting for a response from the union to the latest offer from BCPSEA, which represents the province’s 60 school districts.

BCPSEA chief

negotiator Peter Cameron said Mon-day he still does not have a full position from the BCTF that clarifies the status of the union’s “truck-load of benefit pro-posals.”

Cameron said the union’s latest wage offer is a reduction from its previous position, but when increased benefit costs are factored in, it is still more than twice as much com-pensation as other public sector union settlements.

BCPSEA posted a comparison of the two wage offers Monday. It describes the BCTF proposal as a $5,000 signing bonus followed by increases of 3.5 per cent in the first year and 1.5 per cent in each of the next three years, for a total raise of eight per cent plus

compounding.BCPSEA’s latest

offer includes a $1,200 signing bonus for an agreement by the end of the school year, and a series of wage increases up to May 2019 that includes “economic stability dividend” amounts depending on B.C.’s economic performance.

“[BCPSEA] tabled a comprehensive settlement that includes an improved wage offer and com-mits to realistic and flexible solutions to address class com-position,” Fassbender said.

The B.C. Labour Relations Board has extended its essen-tial services order to include provin-cial final exams and marks for graduating students, so they can apply for post-sec-ondary studies.

VICTORIA – “Liberal” is becoming one of the most ill-defined words in Canadian politics.

Here in B.C., a Liberal is a Conservative, or at least a fiscal conservative, bent on balancing budgets and battling big unions to force them to recognize today’s world of low growth and low infla-tion.

In Ottawa, a Liberal is c u r r e n t l y whatever Jus-tin Trudeau wakes up and decides. One day he’s a liber-tarian who wants to legalize marijuana, and the next he’s in touch with his inner Taliban, issuing a moral edict on abor-tion.

In Ontario, Premier Kath-leen Wynne saved her gut-shot Liberal government by limping to the left of the NDP, promising to spend lots more borrowed money and build lots of transit.

This is in a have-not prov-ince with an operating deficit that is currently running north of $12 billion.

For comparison purposes, B.C.’s deficit swelled briefly beyond $3 billion in the wake of the Great Recession of 2009, and the books stayed in the red until last year as the B.C. Liber-als unwound the Harmonized Sales Tax and repaid a $1.6 bil-lion HST transfer allowance to Ottawa.

You think B.C.’s energy policy is a disaster? Check out

Ontario, where the cops are still investigating the $1 bil-lion cancellation of plans to construct two natural gas-fired power plants before the 2011 election.

The gas plants were to stabilize erratic output from wind and solar power, a Euro-pean-style climate change gesture that involved Ontario ratepayers giving a huge sub-sidy to Korean tech giant Sam-sung.

The Ontario Liberals clung to power in part by promising a provincial pension scheme on the same scale as the Canada Pension Plan.

B.C. has a similar pension program in the works, to be offered to the two thirds of small business and self-employed people who don’t have a group plan with their employer.

Ours  would, of course,  be voluntary.

Not so in Ontario, where large and small businesses will be required to cough up half of the required pension payments.

The Ontario model is dumb on several levels.

It is to be imposed just as the baby boom retirement wave breaks across Canada’s most populous province, increasing risk that the pension pool may run dry.

And it sticks small busi-ness with a new payroll tax in a province that has lost much of its traditional manu-facturing base and needs to innovate.

Here’s the funny part, if you don’t live in Ontario. Wynne

tabled her spending-spree, deficit-be-damned budget in an effort to convince the NDP to keep propping up the Lib-eral minority government and avoid an election.

Instead, she won a majority and now has to implement her pie-in-the-sky promises.

Ontario is bracing for a downgrade in its credit rating based on the election result, and is about to go into prov-ince-wide bargaining with pub-lic service unions who want their share from the Liberal money tree.

Ontario Progressive Con-servative leader Tim Hudak ran on a plan that sounded similar to the one presented by Christy Clark in 2013: hold the line on spending, balance the budget, reduce the size of government, stimulate job cre-ation.

Hudak was rejected for a second time, and resigned the leadership on election night.

B.C. voters now have three years to see how the Ontario version of Liberal government plays out, compared to the B.C. Liberal version.

For us, much depends on resource development, including forest products, natural gas and other trade with Asia.

If all goes well here, B.C. can continue to send transfer payments to the fantasyland of Ontario.

Impaired driving can have serious conse-quences and British Colum-bia has tough penalties for drunk drivers, but some tipsy motorists do not seem to care.

The Summerland RCMP’s first quarter report for this year showed six 90-day immediate roadside prohibitions, six three-day prohibitions and one 24-hour suspension issued in the first three months of this year.

For the safety of all, this behav-iour has to change.

bad apples

For years, the Recope program has helped Summerlanders with a variety of med-ical conditions by offering a water therapy program and a land exercise program.

K e e p i n g this program in place requires a lot of volunteer effort. For the past 24 years, Mau-reen Ingram has been the coordin-ator of the program.

This level of commitment to a program is inspiring and deserving of recognition.

excellenceWhen a single player on a

Junior B hockey team advan-ces to a Junior A or college team, it is noteworthy. When several players from the same team all move up in hockey, it is even more significant.

In the past few weeks, three Summerland Steam players have signed to new hockey teams. Coach Gregg Wilson says others are expected to commit to new teams soon.

The advancements mean the Steam’s coaching staff will have a difficult task next year as there will be many new players.

Of the 23 players on the Steam’s roster last year, between five and eight are expected to return for the coming year.

Five 20-year-old play-ers have aged out, but many others are expected to play elsewhere this fall.

This turnover means the team is accomplishing the purpose of a good Junior B team.

Not only does the Steam deliver good hockey action, it also serves as a training team for aspiring and talented play-ers.

These player advance-ments come in addition to a good Summerland Steam season this past year.

Fans who attended the games could attest to the strong level of play shown by the Steam.

The team finished first among the five teams in the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference: Okanagan Division in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League.

In playoff action, the team lost to the North Okanagan Knights in the seventh game of the semi-finals.

The quality of hockey from the team is good enough that coaches and scouts have noticed the players.

Hockey fans would do well to keep up with the team during this coming sea-son. Some of the players on the ice in fall may don the jerseys of National Hockey League teams in the years to come.

THE EARLY YEARS

Okay, smile… please… anybody?June, named after the Roman goddess of marriage and childbirth, has long been a popular month for weddings. And in fact, Summerland’s first wedding occurred in June when Annie Stevens and Harry Dunsdon tied the knot in 1904. Despite the solemn expressions of the newlyweds and their guests, it really was a happy occasion.  At the Summerland Museum we love happy occasions so we’re putting together a town wedding album. Whether you were married here or came later to raise your family or to retire, you’re part of Summerland’s history. Bring your wedding photo (smiling or not) to the museum to be copied and included in our album.

Dear Editor:I am a resident

of the Summokan Mobile Home Park,

situated directly across Snow Avenue from the Living Memorial Baseball

Park.Last weekend, dur-

ing Action Festival, they held the annual

Slo-Pitch Tourna-ment in all ball fields in Summerland. It sounded like all were

having a great time.On Sunday, I took

a walk through the park as the tourna-

ment was winding up. What a mess!

There were lawn chairs, shoes, gar-

bage and many, many water and beer bottles and cans left wherever they could be dropped.

Maybe some of the participants thought they were still at home.

On Monday mor-ning at 6:30 a.m. I walked through the park again.

It was like someone had gone through it with a magic broom.

The park was sparking. No more lawn chairs, shoes or garbage.

I did find two empty water bottles. All garbage contain-ers were emptied and new bags had been put in them.

Congratulations to the people of the Parks and Recrea-tion department of the District of Sum-melrand. They must have worked most of the night.

You did an awe-some job.

Thank you for a wonderful Action Festival weekend and a marvellous Parks and Recreation department.

Dear Editor:Summerland is fortunate to

have two high quality, progres-sive grocery stores, and now is an excellent time for them to change their policies regarding plastic grocery bags.

The recent change to our recyc-ling regulations means that gro-cery bags can no longer go into blue bags for recycling.

This means that most of them will wind up in the landfill, or else blow around the country-side.

Many other grocery stores have opted to charge a small fee for each plastic bag, or else pro-vide a small rebate each time a

customer comes brings re-usable cloth bags.

A good number of us have already switched to cloth bags, and a small charge (or rebate) will accelerate that switch.

I think of plastic grocery bags as relics of a past era of mindless, disposable consumerism.

We are into a more thoughtful era now, and it is high time that plastic grocery bags become the exception rather than the rule.

I urge our two fine grocery stores to adopt policies that dis-courage the use of these wasteful plastic anachronisms.

Dear Editor:It would seem that

with all the excite-ment of the new library that will be built, the art gallery, potters’ guild, and Red Cross having to find new locations, nobody thought to ask what Giant’s Head Auto Repair’s intentions were.

I suspect that the general population thought that the shop would just close down.

I am happy to

announce that I have secured a new location in Summer-land.

The business will be moving to the corner of Logie Road and McLach-lan Street, right next door to Nixdorf Classic Cars.

I would like to thank Garnet and Tim Nixdorf, and George Giannotti of Okanagan Develop-ment Concepts.

The Nixdorfs had plans to build on this

lot at some point, but when I approached them asking if they would build it right away, they were super helpful and willing to work with me.

Giant’s Head Auto will be at the cur-rent location on Main Street until the end of July, and will re-open at the new location in August.

Even though I won’t be in the heart of downtown any-more, I embrace the

opportunity to move into a brand new building. It will be twice the size of my current location, and gives me the perfect opportunity to grow my business even further.

My staff and I will continue to provide the same great ser-vice, which includes giving our clients rides home, and of course picking them up again.

Dear Editor:I’m not sure

sometimes who my employer is, although it seems like it is the government.

I’d ask you to con-sider the following facts that have been verified or ruled upon by neutral third

parties. Your employ-er has:

o Been found guilty of breaking your contract, guilty of bargaining in bad faith and trying to get you to strike.

o Been identi-fied by the United Nations as treating

workers poorly.o Refused to

acknowledge these rulings and use  more money to appeal the rulings.

o Told customers that the employee union is trying to bankrupt the busi-ness.

o Paid their employees less than anyone else in the same business.

o Scared custom-ers by saying that if the business pays employees more and provides better ser-vices to customers, prices will increase

beyond belief.o Threatened to

cut your wages by 10 per cent if you do not sign a contract that takes away more from you and reduces services to customers.

o Locked the doors of the business so you cannot come in on

your own time to get your work done.

These facts are the reality for B.C. teach-ers.  I believe that any reasonable per-son would agree the employer has a rec-ord of poor behaviour and a lack of integrity.

The naked truth

is there is a crisis in public education.

Every credible source says that investment is required in the system.

Please get the facts and please support public education.

Repair workPhilip Watson adjusts the front wheel of a bicycle at the Summerland Farmers Market in Memorial Park. His mobile bike repair service is one of numerous services in place at the weekly markets. The markets continue each Tuesday until October.

The Summer-land Food Bank and Resource Centre will distribute 15 car seats to families in the com-munity. The seats were acquired through a BCAA program.

Tara Hollas, resource coordinator at the centre, said the seats have already been allocated.

There were two rear-facing infant seats, six convert-ible infant/child seats, three high-back booster seats and four no-back booster seats.

The value of all the car seats is $1,098.87.

Summerland was part of the car seat program last year and Hollas said the centre will likely apply next year as well.

All-terrain vehicle enthusiasts will gath-er near Summerland in July.

The Quad Riders Association of B.C. will hold their jam-boree and annual general meeting at the Crump recreation area, west of Sum-merland from July 15 to 20.

John Rasmussen, vice-president of the Summerland ATV Club, said between 150 and 200 all-ter-rain vehicles will be present during the

week.Participants will

come from around British Columbia, other parts of West-ern Canada and Washington State.

Events include a night run in the area on July 16, an ice cream run to Faulder and then to Summer-land Sweets on July 17, a wine and cheese event on July 19 and a flea market on July 20.

“We believe that this influx of people will have a positive

impact on both the local and surround-ing businesses, bring-ing tourist dollars into the area for sev-eral days,” Rasmus-sen said.

He added that the location is ideal for the week-long events.

To prepare for the jamboree, crews have been in the area, clearing and main-taining trails for the vehicles.

The Summerland ATV Club has more than 70 members.

ATV riders will gather for jamboree

Arena hosts summer hockey schoolsby John Arendt

The hottest days of the summer are a few weeks away but at the Summerland Arena, crews are pre-paring for hockey.

Once again the arena will host num-erous hockey schools and camps.

The first is a four-day women’s hockey school which begins July 16.

From July 20 to 26, Gold in the Net will bring back its goalie training program.

The Bulldogs Euro-pean hockey school will run from July 27 to Aug. 1.

From Aug. 9 to

16, the MacGilivray hockey school will be offered.

The Summerland Steam will hold their annual camp Aug. 22 to 24.

After the Labour Day weekend, the minor hockey season will begin.

Brenda Ingram, assistant director of the Summerland Parks and Recrea-tion department, said ice is available for the week of Aug. 2 to 8.

At present, the ice is out of the arena and workers have been able to do main-tenance and upgrade

work.A new score

clock was recently installed, replacing the original clock from the 1976 con-struction of the arena.

“We couldn’t even get the light bulbs for it anymore,” Ingram said.

The replacement work was a signifi-cant project, since the clock was large, fra-gile and difficult to remove.

Other work at the arena includes sched-uled maintenance to the ice equipment in preparation for the coming hockey sea-son.

While the ice is out, the arena is used for lacrosse, ball hockey, Summerland Second-ary School’s gradua-

tion on June 27 and a roller derby event on July 5.

The ice will be installed in early July.

Ingram said this is a time-consum-ing project which involves cooling the floor and then paint-

ing the lines and logos on the ice.

“It takes two weeks to put the ice in,” she said.

Learning hockeyGoaltenders from around British Columbia took part in the Gold in the Net hockey school last summer. The one-week school will return this summer, along with numerous other summer hockey programs in July and August.

As I submit my MP reports on a weekly basis often the num-ber of events that can occur within a seven day time frame are significant and diffi-cult to fit into a sin-gle 550-word weekly update.

At other times no words can describe some events that are truly shocking and disturbing in magni-tude. 

Such is the immense sense of loss Canadians share on the tragic death

of three members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Moncton.

On behalf of all citizens in Okanag-an-Coquihalla our thoughts and prayers are with the families and members of the RCMP who have suf-fered so greatly from a senseless act of vio-lence. 

I would also like to publicly recognize the service and sac-rifice of all members of the RCMP who bravely protect our

communities while defending the law. 

This can be a demanding and dan-gerous job.

The first RCMP officer killed in the line of duty happened in the early 1870s. 

Since that time up to the present incident in Moncton two hun-dred and thirty four RCMP officers have lost their lives while on duty – including at least five in our riding of Okanagan-Coquihalla. 

Let us all pass on our condolences to the RCMP family during this difficult time. 

As the House of Commons has been sitting until midnight for the past weeks a large number of bills have been before the House.

One of those to be introduced is Bill C-36 “Protection of Communities and Exploited Person Act”– also referred to as the prostitution bill.

This bill is in response to the Supreme Court of Canada striking down provision of Canada’s former laws in this area. 

Bill C-36 proposes a different framework on Canada’s prosti-tution laws in recog-nizing that many of those who sell sex do so for a variety of reasons that may include being forced or induced by others, to feed an addiction, poverty or other.

Bill C-36 proposes to criminalize those who purchase or otherwise profit from the sale of sexual ser-vices. In other words pimps, johns, drug dealers, human traf-fickers and smugglers

would face increased fines and potential for imprisonment for engaging in acts of sexual exploitation.

These fines and potential prison sentences would increase if offences involve children or occur in locations where children may be present.  

To assist in facili-tating these object-ives it is proposed that the advertis-ing of sexual servi-ces would also be banned and $20 mil-lion of new funding will be made avail-able to help provide supports for those currently engaged in prostitution activ-ities to help transi-tion away from these activities.  

This is a sum-marized review of Bill C-36 and more detailed information can be obtained from my office.

Each week I enjoy hearing from many constituents on a var-iety of different topics – while concerns are often unique at times there are some issues that will often unite citizens in support or opposition.

One issue that generally most cit-izens are support-ive of is eliminating government waste – with that in mind

one program that has been success-ful in this regard is Industry Can-ada’s Computers for Schools program. 

Each year govern-ment, and other pri-vate sector business partners frequently upgrade computer systems that at times may result in existing computers becoming surplus. 

The Computers for Schools program takes these surplus computers, refurbish-es them, and distrib-utes these computers to schools, libraries, not-profit learning organizations and aboriginal commun-ities across Canada.

This program over the next four years will distribute rough-ly 280,000 comput-ers thanks in part to corporate partners such as CN Rail, Bell, Telus, and CIBC (to name a few) who join with government in the donation of sur-plus computers and hardware.  Last year close to 7,500 comput-ers were distributed in British Columbia and another ship-ment was announced last week with sever-al hundred coming to schools in Okanagan Coquihalla. 

If you are inter-ested in donating or are an eligible organ-ization interested in receiving a computer forms can be obtained from the Computers for Schools website.

If you have a ques-tion, comment or concern on any mat-ter before the House of Commons, I can be reached at [email protected] or 1-800-665-8711.

Dan Albas is the MP for Okanagan Coquihalla.

Continuous supportOn behalf of the District of Summerland, Mayor Janice Perrino paid a visit to the Penticton Paper Shuffle to accept a recognition plaque in honour of the 15 years of continuous support to Penticton and District Community Resources and the Penticton Paper Shuffle recycling program.

It’s hard to believe that days are about to get shorter, but the sun is about to reach its summer solstice and the longest day of the summer on Sat-urday, June 21.

To mark the event, a gathering will take place at the Pen Henge standing stone array on Munson Mountain in Pentic-ton that evening.

The public gather-ing is being organ-ized by the Pentic-ton meeting group of the Okanagan Centre of the Royal Astronomical Soci-ety 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 8.30 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 approximately 8:58 p.m.. The actual time of the solstice will be at 3:51 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 the Okanagan Centre of the Royal

Astronomical Soci-ety of Canada, and which was supported by Penticton City Council and its Parks Department.

The installation, which is located at the top of Munson Moun-tain above the large Penticton sign on the east side of Okanagan Lake, consists 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 winter and summer solstice set-ting points respect-ively.

Photos of the array and earlier observ-ances can be viewed at www.ocrasc.ca  through the Image Gallery link and the Pen Henge folder.  

Chris Purton, a retired scientist at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory at White Lake said, “For most of the year the struc-ture simply illustrates the enormous range along the western horizon where the sun sets. Most people subconsciously know of this, but they are quite fascinated to see the idea laid out so graphically.”

This last month in Toyokoro, students had their annual Sports Day Festival, known as Undoukai.

Each school has their own sports day, and own games and

sports. I went to the junior

high school’s undou-kai and there were many interesting distinctions between theirs and the kind I’m familiar with.

For me growing up in several differ-ent places, my sports day included shot put, javelin, long jump, high jump and many more — the classic track and field

games. In Japan however,

it’s much different (and honestly, much more fun and fun-nier.)

One memory I have of sports day

back home is getting the individual rib-bons for first, second and third place in each sport.

There were very few team-oriented sports, relying heav-ily on individual effort and skill.

Japan, however, being a highly col-lectivist society, relies only on team efforts and team scoring.

In the main cat-egory, the teams are Grade 1 versus Grade 2 versus Grade 3.

The second is Red versus White, which has a mixture of stu-dents from different grades on each team.

Their sports are also very different. At the junior high school they still have the 100-metre dash, tug-of-war, and relay (which is scored by team), but other than that, it’s very differ-ent.

One game, they call

mukade (centipede.) This is where girls and boys separately from each class, tie their ankles together forming a line and then they race each team.

Another has stu-dents forming a makeshift bridge by bending over, and one student (usually the smallest boy/girl from that grade) runs across their backs to the finish line with-out touching the ground.

There were about 10 sports total fin-ishing with a fork dance performed to the tune of Turkey in the Straw, Oklahoma Mixer, and Korobush-ka.

In the end, the Grade 3 and Grade 2 classes tied the first category, and the white team won the other.

Afterwards, stu-dents stayed and cleaned, and disman-tled the tents before catching their bus home.

I went home sun-burnt and heat strick-en, but had an amaz-ing time.

Thanks for read-ing! Baka ga atte riko ga hikitatsu — due to the presence of fools, wise people stand out.

Cash infusionMembers of Full Circle Outlet held a cash mob event on Saturday mor-ning. A total of 15 of the charity store’s board members and volunteers spent around $20 each at Country Corner, for a total of at least $300. The concept, held for the first time in Summerland, was inspired by a similar initiative in Powell River, as a way to help small businesses. Organizers plan to hold other cash mob events every six to eight weeks.

It’s interesting to see what is happening with Real Estate in Summerland this year. If we look at the numbers this year we see that Real Estate is sell-ing quicker than in the past 7 years!

Some stats to consider….. Looking at the past 7 years and evaluating the period from Jan 2- June 12 we see the following;In 2014.…. Single family homes are selling, on average, in 42 days!!…..Townhomes are selling even faster, on average, in 39 days!! ….. And condos are selling just a little behind the other two, on average, 47days !

These numbers indicate that if a home is priced correctly that it should sell in less than 2 months. If we go back to 2007, which is just before the downturn in the housing sector, we see that even then the length of time was signi� cantly different. Single family homes were on average taking 58 days to sell, townhomes also took 58 days to sell and condos were on the market for 98 days before selling.

Now it is true that prices have come down (as well as assessments) and it is hard to realize that our “castle” isn’t necessarily worth what we think it is… but understand that the “castle” you are thinking of Buying has come down in price too!

Here are some stats that bear that out… The average selling price for a single family home this year is $385,087. In 2007 that average was $434,707. Looking at townhomes, this years’ average selling price is $231,975, whereas it was $240,833 back then. The average price for Condos is down considerably from $257,512 in 2007 to todays’ average of $182,945.

So yes, NOW is a Great time to put your home on the market if you’re serious about selling. Inventory is moving and Buyers are looking, so act now to take advantage of this upturn in the housing market… For a free market evaluation or for more information please give me a call at 250-490-5948.

IS NOW THE RIGHT TIME TO LIST MY HOME FOR SALE?

In the poolParticipants at Recope work on a series of water-based rehabilitation exercises. Maureen Ingram was the coordinator of the program for the past 24 years.

Ingram coordinated Recope for 24 yearsby Carla McLeod

Special to the Review

A retirement tea was held for Maureen Ingram at the IOOF Hall on Sunday after-noon. Family, friends, coworkers, clients and board members turned out to show their appreciation for Ingram, who has been the coordinator of the Recope pro-gram for the past 24 years.

Ingram first went to Recope as a client, after breaking her leg in three places. She thought the woman running the program at that time had a “pretty neat job,”

When that same job was later adver-tised, Ingram applied

for it.“I’d never heard

the word coordinator ever, but my hus-band’s family had so many get-togethers and for some reason it was always me that arranged them,” she said. “I didn’t know what a coordinator was but I had all this experience with family.”

She also had experience leading groups of women in her volunteer work with the Salvation Army.

Her son Cliff, one of her four boys, said his mom had always worked part-time, but started volunteer-ing when he was a teenager.

“We felt she was

getting out and doing things for her-self after raising us and that was a good thing,” he said.

Ingram’s husband of 65 years, Clifford, didn’t mind the vol-unteer work she did, because she enjoyed it so much.

Vivian Beat-tie worked under Ingram’s supervision as a fitness instructor as well as a volunteer with Recope. She said it was Ingram’s giv-ing nature and per-sonality that enabled her to do the job.

“She has a very quiet way. She does not blow her own horn. She’s helped a lot of people. She loved the job and it suited her well. She

had a very soft gentle way of giving a help-ing hand.”

As the manager of the pool where Recope is held,

Brenda Ingram has worked with her mother-in-law over the years.

“She has a very kind heart and has brought lots of people to that program. She really believed in what the program

was about and the service that it provid-ed for the commun-ity,” she said. “She would talk about Recope and encour-

age people to come, either as a client or as a volunteer.”

Clients who used the program spoke highly of it.

“Thanks to Recope I’m back walking again after my sur-gery,” said Sharon Stone. “It’s amaz-ing the energy she’s [Ingram] had. She’s been hanging in there until somebody was ready to take over.”

For Ingram, the time has gone by fast.

“Maybe I should have retired a little sooner,” she said. “I know they let people work way past retirement age now, because they have experience. I’ll miss it but I think it’s prob-ably time.”

Ingram was pre-sented with a com-memorative plaque and a gift from the Recope clients, vol-unteers, staff and board members.

Coun. Robert Hacking also pre-sented her with a certificate of appre-ciation, recognizing her incredible work for Summerland with Recope.

“There are hun-dreds of people in Summerland that have been affected

by the work Recope does and Maureen is a large part of that,” he said. “On behalf of the district, the mayor, Summerland councils, current and past, we just want to say thank you. We appreciate your work.”

“I’ve enjoyed every minute of it, all 24 years,” Ingram said. “I wouldn’t take back any of it. All the won-derful clients and staff I’ve had over

the years, I wouldn’t trade them for any-thing else.”

Although Ingram has retired from her paid position, she intends to return to the Recope program as a volunteer.

If you know a positive story about someone in our com-munity, contact Carla McLeod at [email protected] or con-tact the Summerland Review newsroom at 250-494-5406.

Long serviceCoun. Robert Hacking presents Maureen Ingram with a plaque in recognition of her 24 years of service as the coordinator of the Recope program.

“I’ve enjoyed every minute of it, all 24 years. I wouldn’t take back any of it. All the wonderful clients and staff I’ve had over the years, I wouldn’t trade them for anything else.”

SCOREBOARD

A long-time Sum-merland baseball supporter was one of two people from the B.C. Interior recog-nized for dedication to the sport.

On Friday, Der-rick Surowski of Summerland was honoured with an induction into the B.C. Babe Ruth Hall of Fame.

Peter Stoochnoff, the provincial com-missioner for the league, was inducted into the Pacific Northwest Babe

Ruth/Cal Ripken Hall of Fame.

Surowski has been involved with B.C. Babe Ruth/Cal Ripkin Baseball for 28 years while Stoochnoff has spent 59 years with the league.

For most of his life, Surowski has worked with minor baseball.

“I’ve been on the ball diamonds since I was two years old,” he said.

He is now the assistant provin-

cial commissioner for B.C. Babe Ruth/Cal Ripken baseball and the district com-missioner for the league’s Okanagan-Thompson zone.

“It’s the passion for the sport,” Surowski said, explaining why he has continued to work with minor baseball.

Over the years, while working as an umpire, he has watched many of the British Columbia players who are now in major league base-

ball.He has also seen

many young baseball players earn schol-arships to colleges with strong baseball teams.

While there are top-level players within the league, Surowski said the league works to help all who are interested in the sport.

“We never turn anyone away from playing baseball,” he said.

From 1986 to 2007, Surowski was

involved with the Penticton Minor Baseball Association (Babe Ruth Program.) He served with the British Columbia Baseball Umpires Association from 1995 to 2008 and has been an umpire and the umpire in chief with the Summerland Minor Baseball Asso-ciation from 2005 to 2008.

Stoochnoff has worked with Babe Ruth baseball in numerous roles since 1956.

ARTS PALETTE

David Finnis

Last Monday, June 16 the Frieze of the Arts was disassem-bled and reinstalled inside our new loca-tion at 9908 Main Street.

The frieze is a vis-ual representation depicting all the vari-ous aspects of the arts that we admire, enjoy, and participate in and has become a visual representation of the Summerland Community Arts Council itself for the past 13 years.

Fourteen years ago, in May 2000, the newly formed Summerland Pot-ters Guild felt that a depiction of the vari-ous aspects of the arts (drawing, paint-ing, sculpting, acting, singing, etc) would be an excellent way of enhancing the

front of the new Arts Centre.   Two years earlier the Summer-land Community Arts Council had moved into what was the former municipal hall.  

Work began on the frieze in January 2001 with Wendy Ferlin, master potter and founding member of the Summerland Pot-ters Guild as project manager.

Two potters were assigned to each fig-ure, using Ralph Critchlow’s enlarged drawings as tem-plates.

However, it soon became apparent that the figures required a more sculptural treat-ment and that the entire piece would have a more cohesive look if the figures were finished by one

artist. Fortunately the

Guild had a sculp-tor in its ranks and Michael Hermesh took on the task of completing the Frieze of the Arts.

The Frieze of the Arts was unveiled on Sept. 1, 2001.  

Since then this iconic image has graced the top of Arts Council letterhead,

the SCAC website and Facebook page.  

Many thanks to all those individuals responsible for cre-ating it, installing it and now removing it and re-installing it in the new Adams Room at the new Arts Centre.   

Photos from the installation of the Frieze in 2001 and from it’s removal last Monday can be found on About page of the Art Council’s website and on Face-book.com/Summer-landArts.

The Arts Palette column is written by David Finnis, publi-city chair and presi-dent of the Sum-merland Community Arts Council, P.O. Box 1217, 9533 Main St., Summerland, B.C. V0H 1Z0

Water contributionStaff at the Summerland branch of the Royal Bank present a $6,000 cheque to the Friends of the Gardens as part of the RCB Blue Water Project. The project is an initiative to protect fresh water. Of the funding, $5,000 was given through a grant application and $1,000 came following an employee day of service. From left are Tim Gordon of the Royal Bank, Charlotte Leaming of Friends of the Gardens, Trish Van Vianen of the Royal Bank, Gerri Davis of Friends of the Garden and Jane Dunbar, Susanne Zelmer, Karen Hooper, Krissy McClean and Terry Sedawie of the Royal Bank.
