The number of break and enters, thefts and other prop-erty crimes showed an increase over the past year.

On Monday, Sgt. Stephane Lacroix of the Summerland RCMP detachment presented

the final policing statistics from 2015.

There were 15 business break and enters reported in 2015, up from 14 the year earlier, and 10 residential break and enters, up from nine in 2014.

The number of other break and enters increased signifi-cantly, from five in 2014 to 19 in 2015.

The number of vehicle thefts increased from 30 in 2014 to 37 last year.

Thefts from vehicles showed a noticeable

increase, with 65 reported. This is almost double the 33 inci-dents reported in 2014.

The number of shoplifting offences remained unchanged, with four reported in both years.

Mischief complaints decreased by 24 per cent, with

47 reported in 2015, down from 62 a year earlier.

There were 20 fraud inci-dents reported, up from 19 in 2014.

In the last quarter of 2015, police received 681 calls for ser-vice, up from 573 calls during the same period in 2014.

Property crime increase observed

Historic cabinThe sod-roofed cabin off Landry Crescent has been added to the municipality’s heritage registry.

A sod-roofed cabin, close to 130 years old, has been added to Summerland’s heritage register.

Municipal council voted to add the cabin to the register on Monday evening.

The resolution was recom-mended by the municipality’s Heritage Advisory Commis-sion.

Placing the cabin on the register gives the munici-pality the ability to prevent significant alterations or the demolition of the cabin.

The cabin is a log structure with a grass covered roof. It is located on a 17-hectare parcel

of land between Highway 97 and Landry Crescent in Trout Creek.

The land is within the Agri-cultural Land Reserve and is zoned A1-Agricultural.

This building is believed to have been built between 1886 and 1888 by cattlemen for the Thomas Ellis Ranch.

It is one of the Okanagan Valley’s oldest surviving ver-nacular structures.

It is valued for the asso-ciation with its very first owner Okanagan’s cattle baron and rancher Thomas Ellis.

It is also valued for its long

agriculture association with ranching, dairy farming and fruit farming.

This cabin has a long his-tory of connections with people of historical import-ance including Lt. Gov. George H.V. Bulyea, Alberta’s first lieutenant governor, who once owned that land.

Claude Evans and Jaques Landry were land owners and cabin residents as well as dairy farmers and orchard-ists.

Former Summerland doc-tor Wilfred Evans was raised in the cabin.

This cabin’s prominent location, adjacent to Highway 97, makes it a visible point of interest and a sub-ject of curiosity for thousands of tourists every year.

Mayor upset with school closureJohn Arendt

A decision to close Trout Creek Elementary School and reconfigure the remaining three schools in Summerland is dis-heartening, Mayor Peter Water-man said.

“Council’s extremely dis-appointed by the school board’s decision,” Waterman said. “It’s a decision that affects every student in Summerland.”

On March 9, the Okanagan Skaha School Board voted to close three schools, including Trout Creek.

The closures were considered as a way to trim $1.025 million from the school board’s operat-ing budget.

Trout Creek Elementary School has 182 students in a building with the capacity for 277 students.

Waterman said the Trout Creek area is experiencing growth, with 72 building lots on the market at present and the potential for another 75 lots to come onto the market in the future.

The 72 lots include the Light-house Landing subdivision, a development at the corner of Johnson Street and High-way 97 and the Woodbridge development, as well as some infill lots.

Waterman added that the school plays an important part in the Trout Creek area.

“Trout Creek is a separate community within Summer-land,” he said.

“The closure is going to real-ly affect the Trout Creek com-munity significantly.”

Linda Van Alphen, chair of the Okanagan Skaha School Board, said while Trout Creek is growing, the area does not have a large number of chil-dren.

Of the 182 students at the elementary school, she said 102 are within walking distance of the school.

The rest are closer to Giant’s Head Elementary School.

Waterman said the new homes in Trout Creek mean there is an opportunity for more

families to move to the area.However, Joe Peters, a real

estate agent with listings in the area, said he has had a broad spectrum of potential custom-ers, but added that the neigh-bourhood will likely draw older couples.

“It’s more appealing to people who have put together a bit of a nest egg,” he said, “It’s very likely that the major-ity of the people who purchase these will be 50 years of age and older.”

The homes, once completed, will average around $900,000, he said.

Ian McIntosh, director of development services for the m u n i c i p a l i t y,

said the other Trout Creek developments will also come with high price tags.

He said the building lots at the Johnson Street and High-way 97 subdivision will be priced around $200,000, while the Woodbridge lots will be priced around $300,000.

When the cost of a house is included, the total price will start at $500,000, he said.

Waterman said the price tag is not necessarily a deterrent to families with school-aged chil-dren.

“The world has changed,” he said. “Young professionals these days can be making quite a lot of money.”

While the future of the Trout Creek Elementary School building is still unknown, it is unlikely the building will go up for sale.

“It’s not an advantage for us to sell the property,” said Linda Van Alphen, chair of the Okanagan Skaha School Board.

The school has an area of 2,471 square metres. It occupies a two-hectare property. It was built in 1956 and has undergone renova-tions and additions until 1970.

Van Alphen said the school board has the option to board up the building or lease it.

So far, the board has not been contacted by anyone interested in leasing the facility.

While the building could be sold, Van Alphen said the school district would not

benefit from such a decision.Only 25 per cent of the proceeds from the sale would

go to the school district. The rest would go to the prov-ince.

Sale of school building unlikely

John Arendt

Parents of students in Trout Creek Elementary School are stunned, upset and disappointed with the decision to close the elementary school.

“The general feeling among parents is disbelief more than anything,” said Mike Pleasance, a parent of a child at the school.

“The model of education in Sum-merland is being compromised in order to keep the status quo in Pen-ticton.”

As a result of the closure, Giant’s Head Elementary School will be con-verted into a Kindergarten to Grade

3 school, Summerland Middle School will house students in Grades 4 to 7 and Summerland Secondary School will accommodate students from Grade 8 to Grade 12.

This is a departure from Grade 6 to 8 middle school model which has been in place in the past.

Angela Scholefield, who has two children at Trout Creek Elementary School, said the board should have proceeded more slowly.

“I don’t believe the school board has taken enough time to consider all the options carefully,” she said. “I’m sure they could have come up with a better solution to save the majority of

the schools.”She said the school is one of the

top-ranked schools in the Fraser Insti-tute’s annual school rankings.

She and others will write to the provincial ombudsperson to ask for a review of the school board’s decision.

Tina Martin, who has spoken out against the proposals to close Giant’s Head Elementary School and Trout Creek Elementary School, said the trustees had a tough decision.

“They were in a really difficult position, which I can appreciate,” she said. She said education funding should be an issue in the next provin-cial election next year.

Decision frustrates parentsSlated for closureTrout Creek Elementary School is scheduled for closure later this year. The school has a capacity for 277 students, but at present 182 are enrolled.

No matter what outdoor activity you enjoy, the spring season is time when everyone should take extra precautions when driving or traveling.Please be extra careful on the busy roads this spring. Arriving safely is far more important than getting there quickly. If you are going to enjoy more spirited beverages this spring, please take advantage of Designated Drivers and Taxis. Statistics very clearly show that there is an increase in Drinking and Driving the closer we get to the Summer season. Let's see a reversal of that trend. We will all be better off for it.

This has been an emotional few months for residents of Trout Creek.

In all the coverage of and reaction to the closing of Trout Creek Elementary, no one has men-tioned the effect of school closures on the staff of the closed schools.

We all know what the politicians think, but lost in all that hyperbole is any con-cern for teachers and administrators that are now facing an uncertain future.

Their world was turned upside down on Wednesday night and I doubt if they got much sleep.

It has been a hard path and now that the closures have been announced, we are all told to accept them and move on.

Business decisions are made every day, in every industry, small and large. We hear about them, read about them and wax poetic about

them every day. What we don’t

hear about often enough is what the human cost is behind every decision.

It seems our soci-ety is slowly being reduced to a line item on a spreadsheet.

Hit delete and move on.

It is not that easy.Trout Creek Ele-

mentary is more than just a line item to the people who go to work there every day.

It is more than just a line item to the students who attend classes there.

This school has a

rich past and until Wednesday night, a bright future.

Now it will be reduced to yet another empty, boarded up building in Summerland.

Is there a business case for closing the school? Sure, I’ll con-cede that.

The question I have is what is the cost to our society when we close a community’s school?

Are we richer for it or poorer?

Summerland is not new to losing com-munity institutions.

I have heard from several long time resi-dents about the pain-ful loss of the Sum-merland hospital. Now for most med-ical appointments, Summerlanders trav-el to Penticton.

Are we richer for this or poorer?

Over the past year that I have been here, I have seen several businesses close or move to another municipality.

Are we richer for this or poorer?

I wish I had the perfect solution but I don’t.

For those affected by the closing of Trout Creek Elementary, you have my sympa-

thy. It is unlikely that Summerland will ever regain another school.

If enrollment con-tinues to decline, more schools could be lost.

The fact is, Sum-merland does not exactly have the wel-come mat out for families.

Housing is expen-

sive, well paying jobs are scarce and most year round family amenities aren’t read-ily available.

Instead of shrug-ging and expressing canned disappoint-ment, I hope our municipal leadership will stand up and propose a meaning-ful action plan and strategy to turn this around.

There has to be col-lective solution and the political will to accomplish it.

However, given the political climate during the last local election, I won’t hold my breath.

Summerland has a lot going for it.

Let’s do our best to make sure we rise above just being a line item on a spread-sheet.

Let’s make it impossible to just hit delete and move on.

The effects of a school closure

YOUR VIEWS

The school board’s decision to close Trout Creek Elementary School is dis-appointing, but when the numbers are considered, it’s not surprising.

The elementary school has the cap-acity for 277 students, but its enrolment at present is 182.

The school is at less than two-thirds of its capacity. This is a significant shortfall.

Furthermore, the school board’s cal-culations do not call for much change in the enrolment figures at that school or others within the Okanagan Skaha School District.

Members of municipal council dis-agree with the school board’s decision and Mayor Peter Waterman has stated that the Trout Creek neighbourhood is experiencing growth.

There are 72 building lots on the mar-ket at present and there is the potential for another 75 to come onto the market in the future.

However, while there is interest in the developments at present, it is import-ant to remember these will be expensive homes. The cheapest will start at around $500,000 and the waterfront properties will top $1 million.

Homes in this price range will appeal more to well-established couples than to young families.

While there are some young families with the means to purchase the homes coming onto the market in Trout Creek, they will be the exception, not the rule.

Even if the 72 building lots on the market in Trout Creek all sell quickly, it is doubtful if this would result in a significant growth in the number of children in ele-mentary school living in the area.

There’s nothing wrong with having upscale housing in Trout Creek. It’s part of the appeal and character of that area, and those who live in Trout Creek appreciate the unique quality of their neighbourhood.

However, it is important to understand that the real estate market will affect the demographics of the area.

Trout Creek today is not the same as in earlier decades. The closure of the school is a sign of this changing reality.

60 years of reading, writing and arithmeticSummerland Review, Nov. 7, 1956—“New Trout Creek School Opened! …The school opened its doors on Monday to 40 odd children of the Trout Creek area… The new school has an area of 3000 square feet but is so designed as to permit additions that will take care of the ever-increasing Trout Creek area population for many years to come.” The two room school was staffed by Principal J. Cooke and teachers Mrs. W.H. Hackman (grades three and four) and Mrs. Paul Roberge (grades one and two.)  

THE EARLY YEARS

Dear Editor: The Saturday session on

solar power in Penticton was well attended with lecture halls filled to capacity. 

It was exciting to see so many people who wanted to reduce (over a number of years) the cost of electricity to their homes or businesses. 

It is notable, though, that if you look around Summerland, you could probably count the number of homes whose resi-dents have invested in solar panel power on the fingers of

both hands.  A lot of people are interested,

as was an indication in Pentic-ton, but few are willing to put up the $15,000 or more and wait 10 to 15 years for payback. 

Most certainly adding photo-voltaic (PV) adds to the re-sale value of your home, but if you want something substantial back immediately, you will be somewhat disappointed. 

There are, however, a num-ber of ways of getting immedi-ate payback:

1.   You have the satisfaction

of knowing that you are getting something for free – sunlight working for you.

2.    The electrical energy you save that was supplied by hydro or gas, will reduce your environmental footprint.

3.    The credit you should get from Summerland Power when you tie your solar panels into their grid, when you are produ-cing excess power during the summer months, should offset some of the higher bills you would normally be getting dur-ing the winter months.

I would like to see those Summerlanders who are inter-ested in installing solar panels on their homes or businesses, join in co-operative ventures as they do in Europe.

In Denmark, Holland, Ger-many, and other countries these types of co-ops are prominent. 

Most are PV co-ops, but in Holland and Denmark, some groups have even ventured into wind energy, buying and servicing those huge off-shore wind turbines that you have undoubtedly seen on TV or in

person. A co-op would give you the

power of numbers and would substantially decrease your initial capital costs.

I have an on-line petition if you would care to sign. 

Perhaps we can even get Summerland Power to negate or reduce their $1000 start-up fee. https://community.sumo-fus.org/petitions/building-photo-voltaic-rooftop-co-oper-atives.

a fund raiser concert for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, a deserving asso-ciation working on a cure for Juvenile/Type 1 diabetes.  

We wish to commend the organizers and the performers for a job well done.  

The energy, enthusiasm and camaraderie of both the per-formers and organizers was heartwarming.

Special thanks go to Brad Besler, Vickie Besler, John Rousseau and his band, (tal-ented drummer Scott Gamble), all were impressive!

Dear Editor:When one lives in a com-

munity that functions smoothly — one might even say seam-lessly — with work performed by staff that we may never see and ordinarily never meet face to face, we take it all for grant-ed.

We don’t think about the background planning, pro-cedures and work that go into providing us with all the infra-structure requirements.

I had occasion to contact the Public Works division of the Municipality of Summerland last week.

I left a phone message after hours on a Friday and my call was returned promptly on Monday morning.

The person who responded, the works foreman, came to the sight immediately to look at and discuss the situation with me.

The works foreman and a member of the works division staff attended at the site a short time later.

They informed me what needed to be done and said it would be done that day. When I returned from choir prac-tice shortly after noon that day, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the work was already done and the site all tidy and clear.

My heartfelt a p p r e c i a t i o n and thanks to the works div-ision foreman and work crew for their cour-

tesy, professionalism, prompt-ness and exemplary work ethic while dealing with this matter.

A reassuring friendly voice

and smiles certainly lightened a worrisome situation for me.

Sometimes, the hardest part of cre-ating is just figuring out when it’s done.

Determining when there are enough words on the page or when there’s enough paint on the canvas or even enough music-al notes is tricky because, at least through the eyes of the person who cre-ated it, there’s always something that’s not quite perfect.

It throws a wrench in the process because on some reasonable level, you know it’s done. You’ve gone through the necessary steps to clean it up, edit the words and anything else you need to do to com-plete something, but you still see mistakes. It can get to the point where it’s almost impossible to stop fid-dling with something sometimes because, every time you look at it, you see some-thing new to correct.

It’s normal to the creative process and can be a tough obstacle to overcome when you’re getting started in your cre-ative attempts — even to this day, that feeling haunts me as I work and I’ve been doing this a long time now.

Part of the problem is perspective. You are your own worst critic and will notice every spelling mistake or missed note in a per-formance because you are intimately involved with something that you’ve probably spent a fair amount of time working on.

One of the best ways to get around that feeling is to get a different perspective on it. Find a friend, or a group of friends who do similar cre-ative projects and show it to them. You’ll probably be surprised at what comes back.

If you’re a musi-cian, you can play your song for some-one or, if you want to surprise yourself, rec-ord it and listen to it.

I’m always sur-prised when I do this because I know where I’ve missed notes, where my tim-ing was off and when

something I was try-ing didn’t work — all things my musical partner never   catch-es and always asks why I was scowling during a song.

Once someone has had a chance to tell you whether or not they like it, ask them why they felt that way.

The answer to that question is likely going to be the thing that either verifies how you feel or puts your worries to rest, especially if that per-son’s thoughts and opinions mean some-thing to you.

If that doesn’t work, put it in a drawer or cover it up and forget about it for a week. You’ll come back with a new perspective on the piece and, more often than not, you’ll realize you were a lot closer to being fin-ished than you might have thought.

Even after you’ve finished working on something, that need to tinker will linger.

I could pull some-thing out that I’d long considered finished and still find a way to edit the whole book again and change major sections, so I have a rule that helps me figure out when something is done: unless it’s a total mess and needs a lot of work, I give some-thing three major edits. Anything more than that and I’m just looking for mistakes.

Now to sit back and worry about whether what I said made any sense at all or is just a rambling mess.

Crokinole players compete

After winning the division playoffs against the Osoyoos Coyotes, the Summerland Steam are facing the 100 Mile House Wranglers for the Oka-nagan-Shuswap Conference Title in Junior B hockey action.

The Steam defeated the Coy-otes in a 6-4 win on home ice on Sunday, winning four games to the Coyotes’ two in the best of seven series.

“It was a big, big win,” Steam coach John DePourcq said of the playoff victory. “Osoyoos is a very good team. We had to play a perfect hockey game to beat them.”

Going into the playoff series, Osoy-oos was ranked one of the top teams in

the Kootenay International Jun-ior Hockey League.

The Coyotes won seven of the eight regular season games they played against the Steam. The strength of this team chal-lenged the Steam players.

“From top to bottom, every-

one had to step in to help us win,” DePourcq said of the ser-ies.

The best of seven champion-ship series against the Wran-glers began on Tuesday even-ing in 100 Mile House.

Game summaries are avail-

able online at summerlandre-view.com

DePourcq said the Wranglers will prove to be formidable opponents.

“They’re a very good hock-ey team, big and physical,” DePourcq said. “It should be a

great series.”In regular season play, the

Wranglers finished with 33 wins, 12 losses, three ties and four overtime losses.

The Steam finished their regular season with 34 wins, 16 losses and two overtime losses.

Carla McLeodSpecial to the Review

People in Summerland are familiar with the Summerland Asset Development Initiative’s Unity Youth Club.

We know it is a non-profit organization that assists young people and receives funding, in part, from the community.

What we may wonder is,

what value does this club bring to the lives of those it serves?

One only has to ask the youths to find an answer.

Antonio Hansen has been going to SADI for six years.

“When I found out about SADI, I was really interested in the idea. It brought new excite-ment to this town,” he said. “The connection with people

here is incredible. It’s like a second family. It’s amazing to come here.”

Ericka Bidwell has always lived in Summerland.

“I started coming to SADI two years ago. Now I work here and they are my sponsor for the Blossom Pageant, so they have really helped me in a lot of aspects of my life,” she

explained. “Everyone here is very supportive.”

Nikki Blair has lived here since she started school and joined the club when she was in Grade 6. “SADI is a very welcoming place and they accept anyone who comes here,” she said.

Besides providing students with a place to “hang out”, play games and occasionally have meals together, SADI also gives them the opportun-ity to go on outings and trips. They may go out to a movie or down to the beach. They often go to Garnett Lake to enjoy a campfire. Recently they went to the hot springs in Nakusp and last summer went on a camping trip to Ucleulet and Tofino.

These young people benefit from belonging to SADI in other more prac-tical ways as well.

“People in the com-munity ask us to help out at events,” said Hansen. “The amount of volun-teering I’ve done has helped me with my social skills.”

“The volunteering really gets you involved with the com-munity,” explained Bidwell. “I think that’s a huge asset to have. Employers really like to see that.”

The youths are also involved with fundraising for SADI.

At one fundraiser they are able to wait on tables, serving people their dinners. This experi-ence has helped them to find jobs in the restaurant industry.

“Last week I wrote a grant for SADI,” said Blair. “Before I didn’t know much about grants….but then I actually learned the process and how much work it is!”

SADI itself also offers an opportunity for employment. Bidwell, who was originally hired as a summer student con-tinues to work part-time at the clubhouse doing many of the daily cleaning chores.

Another thing that is special about this club is that it allows students of different ages to interact with each other.

“It never feels like we’re hanging out with kids younger than us because we don’t think of the age difference anymore,” said Blair. “We are all so close.”

Hansen explained that because he had been introduced to older kids at SADI, it helped him to transition from the mid-dle school to high school.

It seems that SADI also helps

to keep teens away from crime and from using drugs and alco-hol. “I think one of the big issues in small towns is that kids get bored and have noth-ing to do,” said Bidwell. “Hav-ing SADI helps keep the crime rate down because we have such an awesome place to go,” Blair added.

The teens expressed their appreciation for staff member Alyson Lindsay.

“She does so much for us and dedicates a lot of her time,” explained Blair. “It’s so nice to have someone that is so gener-ous to us. We can trust her with everything.”

“She is there any time we need her for anything,” said Bidwell.

It was also mentioned that it is “pretty cool” that the kids attend the annual general meet-ing and that they can give their feedback to the board members and show them what they have done all year by way of a slide-show presentation.

Although SADI has more than 100 members signed up Hansen said, “It is always nice to have new people. We always welcome them with open arms.”

It is evident from these expressions that the SADI youth club is very beneficial to these young people and an organization well worth sup-porting.

Teens benefit from club involvement

10 www.summerlandreview.com L i f e s t y L e Thursday, March 17, 2016 Summerland Review

Last week, I unfortunately had the opportunity to experience Japanese health care. I was in a skiing accident over the weekend and I ended up hitting my

head pretty hard. Stupidly, I wasn’t

wearing a helmet and after the accident I had a horrible head-ache and was experi-encing some concus-sion like symptoms.

Once I got home after the accident, I was able to contact my translator and we decided that it would be best for me to go to the hospital the next day to get everything

checked-out and make sure nothing was seriously wrong.

Early Monday mor-ning, my translator and another employ-ee of the Toyokoro Board of Education

picked me up at my house and drove me to the hospital in Obihiro (about a 45 minute drive).

We arrived at the emergency room at the hospital and they directed us over to the clinic next door. This clinic is a sub-section of the main hospital in Obihiro.

In Japan, from what I understand from talking to people in Toyokoro, is that doctor’s offices and small clinics do not exist. In order to see a doctor in Japan, you must go to a hos-pital, which will then have smaller depart-ments and subsec-tions, which includes a walk-in clinic style of health care.

When I arrived at the clinic in Obihiro, within 30 minutes I had checked in with reception, filled out paper work, had an

initial check by a nurse, spoke with a doctor about the acci-dent, had a CT scan, and then spoke with the doctor again to look at my scans and receive a treatment/recovery plan.

All of this hap-pened in just 30 min-utes! This was not a private clinic, and the clinic had about 40 other patients wait-ing to be treated.

I was astounded at how fast and effi-cient the whole pro-

cess was. When I was finished, I ended up having to pay a small fee of ¥5,200 yen, which is equiva-lent to approximately $60 CAD. Through my job, I pay about ¥10,000 yen per month, or $110 CAD for health insurance.

I’m not exactly sure what my health insurance covers but I expect that if I didn’t have it, my fee at the clinic would have been much higher.

Now, I’m not going to claim that the Japanese health care system is faster or more efficient than the Canadian system.

I can however tell you about the instan-ces that I required health care services in Canada for a head injury. When I lived in Montreal, I had two different instan-ces that I was taken to the hospital for a concussion due to a field hockey incident.

The first time I was taken to the emer-gency room, where I waited four hours to see a doctor for three minutes, who did a small check-up, no CT, and just told me to rest for three to four days.

The second time, I made an appoint-ment with the McGill Athletics Department to see a doctor, who conducted a concus-sion test, no CT, and then ordered rest for two weeks.

So, now I’ve had three relatively dif-ferent health care experiences for pos-sible concussions.

Japan was prob-ably the most thor-ough and efficient, but was a CT really necessary?

While my health care experience went well, I’m not going to say my health care experiences in Mont-real were inadequate.

Regardless, health care is going to vary depending on which country or which province you are in.

The moral of the story is always wear a helmet when you are skiing/snow-boarding; that way you won’t have to go to the hospital.

Digest this:Your gut health has far reaching effects on your total body health. Your metabolism, cardiovascular health, and even mental health can be effected by poor gut health.Often you will hear or read about the benefits of probiotics to improve and repopulate your healthy gut flora. No argument here. High quality probiotics (like Flora brand and Metagenics) are great for improving the “good” bacteria that live in your digestive system. These little fellers help you digest nutrients, optimize your metabolism and fight “bad” bacteria.There are other items to bolster your digestive arsenal, however. Digestive enzymes and bitters: Digestive enzymes help to break down food (fats, proteins, carbs) so that your body can absorb their nutrients (vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids). Lactase is an example of an enzyme which helps to digest lactose. For folks who lack this enzyme, lactose can have uncomfortable di-gestive effects such as bloating, gas and diarrhea. Lactaid is a product which provides that lactase enzyme and helps those with a lactose in-tolerance digest dairy products.Bitters help stimulate your natural digestive secretions and also help to reduce inflammation. Taking in stomach bitters are a common practice in Europe, especially after rich meals. At Pharmasave we have stomach bitters (regular or alcohol free) and digestive enzymes sold separately, if you prefer. Flora Health has stom-ach bitters and digestive enzymes available in separate bottles.Vitality Digest+ is a combination of Papaya Enzyme, for breaking down foods, and Goldenseal, a bitter which stimulates digestive fluid secretions. Digest+ is perfect if you want the benefits of both digestive enzymes and bitters in one tablet. This product is especially handy if you are travelling or dining out.Pop into Pharmasave this month and save $1.00 on Vitality Digest+ with the instore coupon or take advantage of Flora’s Spring flyer and save on Flora’s assorted digestive enzymes. Talk to the Live Well Team at Pharmasave Summerland to find out how you can optimize your digestive health. - Dan Cassidy, Nutritional Product Advisor

With spring break in full speed, you can almost smell the blos-soms knowing that beautiful, sunny days are just around the corner.

It is a great time to start anew. Reset and refocus your health goals.

Spring events, challenges and fund-raisers will pop up throughout the next few months.

Think forward to some new goals for yourself.

Energize your health regime by signing up for a new program, fully com-mit to a spring or summer event, per-haps a fundraiser with a cause you’d like to support, and work towards that goal.

Even if your goal is participatory or for the fun of it – it may be that added

boost to stay com-mitted.

The quote “If you keep on doing what you’ve always done, you keep on getting what you’ve always got” was my motto for overcoming a three-year plateau as an Olympic swim-mer.

I kept working at the same intense level and program but with little or no improvement.

Finally, I stepped out of the box, changed up the pro-gram, worked on my weaknesses, added new elements and voila… improvement ensued.

We need to remember that we can be doing con-sistent good and healthy things, but every once in a while it will do us even more good to shake things up, get out of

our comfort zone, try something new and grow!

Mark Twain’s say-ing is fitting: “Why not go out on a limb. That’s where all the fruit is,” sums up that when we stretch ourselves, we may be surprised by what blossoms. 10-Week Plan

The time to com-mit is now. In the next eight to 10 weeks many large scale community events will be underway.

The Giant’s Head Grind is on May 21 and the Giant’s Head Run and Man of Steel Triathlon are on June 4.

Why not regis-ter yourself and a friend for the five- or 10-kilometre walk/run. Or recruit family members to each take a discipline (10km bike, 400m/16 length swim and 5km run)

for the Open Rec cat-egory of the Man of Steel Triathlon.

There are great online walk/run pro-grams that can build you up to complete a 5km run at the end of eight weeks.

This is a realistic goal.

Don’t wait until the last minute, only to scramble to get some training in and then feel let down by injury or disappoint-ment.

Come prepared and enjoy commit-ting to the process.

The Spring Recrea-tion Guide came out March 1 with pro-grams ranging from Yoga, Pilates, fit-ness classes, Aqua-fit, Zumba, Guided Imagery, Swimming, Dancing and more.

The choice is yours! Of course, the fitness centre is a great place to work-out on your own pro-gram, timeframe and intensity.

The recreation guide is available online at www.sum-merland.ca under Parks and Recrea-tion.

Joanne Malar is the program coordin-ator for Summerland Recreation, three-time Olympic swim-mer, 2012 Olympic Commentator, kin-esiologist and holis-tic nutritionist.

“Every Life Tells A Story”

NADANE, SAMSam Nadane passed away peacefully Saturday, March 5, 2016 at the age of 94 years. He will be remembered and sadly missed by his loving wife Nora; his children: Linda Poznikoff (Nick) of Oliver, BC and Dawna den Otter (Kees) of West Kelowna, BC; grandchildren: Gayle Poznikoff (David Jones), Larry Poznikoff , Greg Poznikoff (Nicole), Christopher Coleman (Katerine) and Matthew Coleman (Christy Schollen); great grandchildren: Sonya and Lydia Jones, Zoe Shay, Mila Poznikoff , Sierra, Raine and Jack Poznikoff and Atlas Coleman; sister-in-law Pauline Johnson and numerous nieces and nephews and their families. Sam is sadly predeceased by his parents Sam Sr. and Tatiana; two brothers: Alex and Mike; and two sisters: Dora and Ruth.Sam was born on a farm near Kamsack, SK and spent his school years in town with his brothers and sisters. He began his working life at his brother Alex’s general store, married Nora Trofi menkoff in 1942 and farmed during the war years. But he loved people interaction and the store work, so returned to it and when able, he purchased his own general store in Norquay, SK in 1946 which he managed very successfully for many years. Nora worked there by his side in the time before the girls were born. In 1960, seeking a change and a more favourable climate, they moved their family to Penticton, BC and purchased their home on Duncan Avenue. Th ere they remained till ill health forced them to leave it in 2015 for care facilities in Summerland, BC. During those years Sam worked hard to provide a good life for his family by investing and working in a bottling plant, selling real estate, managing the local SAAN store and later managing the Oliver Family Centre in Oliver, BC. For fun, Sam and Nora square danced, were members of the Elks and Royal Purple and joined their friends on family picnics and Canasta nights. Sam was an active member of the IOOF and men’s curling for many years. Th ey also attended the Penticton United Church. He will be remembered as a good man. He was kind, personable, uncomplaining, resourceful, self-sacrifi cing and an extraordinary caregiver to Nora. He was an easy man to love and will be badly missed on this earth.A funeral service was held 11:00 am, Monday, March 14, 2016 at Providence’s Summerland Chapel, 13205 Rosedale Ave., Summerland, BC. A graveside service will be held 11:00 am, Friday, March 18, 2016 at Riverview Cemetery in Kamsack, SK.

Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com.

BELL, Gerald McKinleyGerald McKinley Bell passed away suddenly Thursday, March 10, 2016 in Kelowna, BC. Gerry will be remembered by his wife Irene, children Marni (Mike), Scott, and Tama (Jason) and grandchildren Mckenna, Flynn, and Malley Richardson, McKinley, Finbar, and Hamish Bell, Kinsey, Lexi, and Brix Corday, brother Brian Bell, his wife Patricia, and their families.Gerry grew up on the family farm in Lake Errock and attended school in Deroche and Mission, all in BC’s Fraser Valley. For many reasons he had a fondness and connection to the Yukon. His earliest teaching position was in Whitehorse where he met Irene, his partner for life. They moved to Summerland to raise a family; there, he took up a teaching post at Summerland Secondary (SSS). Gerry was outgoing and had a good word for everyone. Many peoples’ memories will include having him on their side, working for their betterment, and generally trying to make everyone’s day and life a little better. A landmark contribution was the development, with other close “tennis friends,” of the Lakeshore Racquets Club. It was a centre of family life for years. Gerry spent his retirement years playing tennis, golf, and volleyball daily with friends.His family and friends relish the memories they have of their time with him. As his daughter Tama says, “the best man ever.”His family thanks everyone involved in his care.A celebration of life is planned for Saturday, April 30th at 10:00 am at the Springfield Funeral Home (2020 Springfield Rd., Kelowna). In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Cancer Centre for the Southern Interior, 399 Royal Avenue, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 5L3.

PARK, Wendy (nee Brennan)Nov. 30, 1948 – Mar. 9, 2016

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our amazing mother, sister and grandmother. Wendy left us peacefully on March 9, 2016, surrounded by family. She was born in Penticton and raised in Summerland where she lived her entire life. Parents Eb Brennan (1985) and Maxine Brennan (1992) predeceased her. Wendy is survived by 2 daughters Lauri Hanko (Jim) from Penticton, B.C. and Bonni Price (Laurie Lewis) from Tappen, B.C.; 1 sister Arlene Wilson from West Kelowna, B.C, and 5 grandchildren; Dustin Soules, Shaya Soules, Emma Schneider, Zack Lewis and Caitlyn Lewis; and her loyal loving cat Chai. When Wendy was in grade ten she quit school and became a hairdresser. Later, she went back to school to become a care aide while raising two daughters on her own. Her care aide career started at Parkdale Place in Summerland and then Dr. Andrew Pavillion ECU in Summerland when they opened. She retired early due to health reasons. Her time was focused on caring for her grandchildren, and was always there to support her entire family. Aside from her family, Wendy loved her “grand doggies”, the lake, thunderstorms, cooking, picnics on the beach, camping and visits from family - especially the American cousins. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Carrie and Rhonda from Palliative home care nursing and the hospice team-enabling mom to die at home. Th ank you to Dr. Severide and her offi ce for the loving care you provided over many years. In lieu of fl owers, please donate to your local SPCA.

LIFEGUARD INSTRUCTOR 1 - PART TIME POSITION

Summerland Review Thursday, March 17, 2016 L i f e s t y L e www.summerlandreview.com 15

As the B.C. govern-ment spends millions on an international brand campaign with the recycled slo-gan “Super, Natural B.C.,” another brand identity has spread across Canada.

This one’s uninten-tional. It hit a new peak last week with the arrival of two young men from Saskatchewan,  who were  given one-way tickets to Vancouver and Victoria by typ-ically burdened social services ministry staff in North Battleford.

Sorting through the blizzard of sooth-ing sound bites and sympathetic TV clips, a clearer picture emerges.

In his initial inter-view with the Saska-toon  Star-Phoenix, Charles Neil-Curly, at 23 the elder of the two, said he decided to head west when shelter staff told him his time had run out and he asked for bus tickets to B.C.

Transients and panhandlers aren’t the only ones who say whatever they

figure will get them through another day. Politicians do it too.

Admitting she knew little about the arriv-als, Premier Christy Clark suggested that both were mentally ill and deserve every support the province can give them.

B.C. housing czar Rich Coleman has also demonstrated factual flexibility as he presides over the creation of his latest s ingle-room-occu-pancy drug ghetto in a residential neigh-bourhood in Victoria.

After quietly pro-posing a closed-down nursing home called Mount Edwards Court as a tempor-

ary solution to the filthy “tent city” that sprang up on provin-cial property last fall, Coleman abruptly announced from his Langley office Feb. 5 that the building had been bought and partly renovated for $4 million. It would house 38 people for up to a year.

I asked him if the purchase meant the conversion of Mount Edwards into perma-nent “low-barrier” housing for 100 people was a “done deal,” as area residents believe. “They’re wrong,” Coleman replied, and there would be com-munity consultation over the next year.

In subsequent com-ments to reporters, he said the province doesn’t really need city zoning, but will apply for it anyway.

On Feb. 24, Cole-man was asked if he is concerned that the 88 housing units at two locations would fill up and other tran-sients would arrive to take their place. By that time the tent squat appeared to

have about 100 people in residence, with the usual overdoses, vio-lence and prostitution.

Coleman assured us it hasn’t happened in Abbotsford or Maple Ridge, where tent camps have finally been cleaned up after shelters and housing were provided.

The next day, he was asked if transi-tional accommoda-tions would be suffi-cient to end the camp.

“They’re not actually all that tran-sitional,” Coleman replied. “We’ll take Mount Edwards through a zoning pro-cess. We’ve got about 100 beds there. We’ve bought the building so it’s hardly transi-tional. We’ve perma-nently done that.”

Fast forward to March 11. The 38 Mount Edwards spaces are full, another 40 rooms and camp-ing spaces at a former youth custody centre are almost full, and the province applies for a court order to clear the Victoria camp. 

A representative of the advocacy group

Together Against Poverty Society  goes on local radio to pledge legal support for the campers. How many are there now? At least 100, he says.

Meanwhile in

Maple Ridge, where the “homeless” problem is all fixed, Coleman has just extended temporary shelter funding and paid $5.5 million for a 61-room motel to fix

it some more.Tom Fletcher
