Land swap passes

The Summerland Com-munity Arts Centre will con-tinue to have a downtown presence despite the loss of its present facility.

Municipal administrator Tom Day said the arts centre will occupy the former Wil-lowbrook Lane building on Main Street later this year.

A potential location for the Summerland Potters’ Guild is also in the works, he said.

For the past 16 years, the arts centre has occupied the former municipal hall on Main Street. Earlier this year, the municipally-owned building and the adjacent garage were acquired for the new Summerland branch of the Okanagan Regional Library.

Construction on the new library branch is scheduled to begin later this year. For

years, the existing library branch on Wharton Street has had problems from a severe lack of space. The building, constructed in 1981, is less than half the size required for a community of this size.

Since the announcement was made in late February, representatives of the arts council have had concerns about their future, especially during the transition period.

Summerland council approves controversial land exchange, sending plan to province’s Agricultural Land Commission

by John Arendt

The fate of Summerland’s proposed Urban Growth Strategy now lies with the Agri-cultural Land Commission after council approved the controversial plan in a 4-1 decision on Monday evening.

Coun. Peter Waterman was the sole oppon-ent of the plan.

Coun. Lloyd Christopherson and Coun. Bruce Hallquist, who both own land in the affected area, were not present at the meet-ing. The two councillors have not been present for any of the discussion, the town hall meeting, the public hearings or the votes on the growth plan.

Since early December, the plan has led to strong opposition from some in the com-munity, since it includes an agricultural land exchange.

If the provincial land commission approves the plan, a total of 80.34 hectares of land near the core of the community will be removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve, while 91.7 hectares in the Prairie Valley area would be added to the land reserve.

Opponents of the land exchange have stat-ed repeatedly that the swap is not fair since the land slated for exclusion is of a much better quality than the land which would be added to the land reserve.

The outcome of the vote, before a packed audience, was the same as other votes on the growth plan.

Coun. Martin Van Alphen said while he is passionate about agriculture, the growth strategy is a community planning decision.

“This is simply a planning issue. Nothing more; nothing less,” he said. “It’s a planning issue that should have been dealt with years ago.”

Coun. Orv Robson said the existing growth strategy in Summerland’s Official Commun-ity Plan has not worked for the community. Growth has averaged less than one per cent each year since 1996.

“It became apparent that changes had to be made to the OCP,” he said. He added that the new plan is a common-sense solu-tion.

“This, in my view, is a win-win for every-one,” he said.

For the past three decades, the Sum-merland Food Bank has provided grocer-ies to Summerlanders in need.

On Saturday after-noon, the food bank will mark its 30th anniversary at the Summerland United Church hall.

David Mallory, a

food bank director, said around 80 ham-pers a month are dis-tributed to Summer-land families.

Additional ham-pers are distributed in December each year. Last year’s Christmas hamper program fed 120 people, the same number as the year before.

The need is up from a few years ago, when the food bank distributed 60 ham-pers a month.

Those who use the food bank can get one hamper a month, on Tuesdays. The recipi-ents have a choice in the items they receive. “It’s like shopping for their own food,” Mal-

lory said.Last year, the

food bank served 264 adults and 159 children. Not all are regular users.

More than 40 vol-unteers work with the food bank.

Over the years, the facility has changed as the need has increased.

In May 2013, the resource centre at the food bank was opened and the food bank expansion was completed.

The resource centre helps those who need to access various ser-vice agencies.

FOR THE RECORDThe letter submitted to the review last

week from Erin Carlson was prepared for Stop the Swap by Katie Sardinha. Founding members include Katie Sardinha, Erin Carl-son, Alex Thistlewood, Dru Yates, Bart Fieten, Anissa McAlpine and Anastasia Ivanusic.

Continued from Page 1Coun. Robert

Hacking said past community plans have been “unrealis-tic, unsustainable and unaffordable.”

“We need an area to grow our residen-tial population that makes sense,” he said.

Coun. Peter Waterman said the quality of the land being added to the Agricultural Land Reserve under the plan is not as good as the land slated for exclusion.

He added that the public outcry against the plan had to be considered.

“There’s been heavy, reasoned opposition to the pro-posal,” he said.

Since December,

the proposed growth plan has received much criticism from the public.

A petition by the Stop the Swap group has generated more than 3,000 signatures, including 1,500 from Summerlanders.

Those who have spoken out against the proposal have included developers, real estate profession-als, business people and many more.

At the last pub-lic hearing on April 22, all but one of the speakers were opposed to the pro-posed plan.

Mayor Janice Per-rino said the existing growth plan is “the worst example of sprawl there is.”

She said all mem-bers of council agreed

a new plan was need-ed.

“I want Summer-land to be the jewel of the valley,” she said.

She added that her role on council is to make the community better for the future, but the decision to approve the growth plan was not a popu-lar decision.

Earlier, the Prai-rie Valley lands had been removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve to allow for the development of the proposed Sum-merland Hills Golf Resort.

The Summerland Hills plan was later abandoned and in the years following, no other development

proposal has come forward for that area.

The growth plan has been the result of much public consul-tation.

For most of 2013, consultants held numerous public meetings and called for input on a growth strategy for the com-munity.

The result, pre-

sented in early December, was the proposed plan.

Before the plan came before council, members of council and municipal staff had met with repre-

sentatives from the Agricultural Land Commission to deter-mine whether to proceed with a plan to remove agricul-tural land for urban growth.

Growth plan approved despite public outcry

Cuts to fix school budget shortfallby Joe FriesBlack Press

Support staff will be hardest hit under the Okanagan Skaha School District’s proposed plan to cut the equivalent of 11.5 positions to help slay its $1-mil-lion budget deficit.

“Everyone within the dis-trict is going to be impacted by varying degrees,” secretary-treasurer Bonnie Roller Routley told a public budget meeting Wednesday.

“The goal we set at the table, though, was to have the least impact in the classrooms.”

Most of the expected short-fall for 2014-15 stems from a 1.5 per cent reduction in the district’s operating grant from the Education Ministry.

The decrease is tied to declin-ing enrolment and will put the expected operating budget at $54.1 million, while  expenses are projected to total $55.1 mil-lion.

To close the gap, the dis-trict has proposed a series of job reductions, although the total number of employees who would be affected is still unknown.

At least four of the 11.5 full-time-equivalent cuts — includ-ing an electrician, delivery driver and principal —  are expected to come from not fill-ing vacant positions and not rehiring after retirements.

Other workforce adjustments include partial cuts to clerical staff, custodians and educa-tional assistants, plus elimin-

ating nearly two full teacher positions.

The district has also pro-posed trimming $230,000 from its services and supplies budgets, and draining $75,000 from a pool of funds for pro-fessional development, but is planning to leaves its eight-member senior management team intact.

“We’ve looked at senior man-agement. At this point, there are no positions we feel can be reduced,” Roller Routley said.

Despite assurances the dis-trict has done its best to mini-mize the impact of expected cuts on students, the Canadian Union of Public Employees said kids will no doubt be affected.

“CUPE members work dir-ectly with students and main-

tain the facilities they use, so cuts to our members will affect the learning environment for all,” unit chairwoman Alison Reigh said in a statement.

She added that the union, which was granted unfunded wage increases last year by the B.C. government, is “definitely disappointed that the majority of the proposed budget cuts” are directed at its members.

Teachers are also worried about how having fewer CUPE members would impact their work since there will likely be less help available for special-needs and gifted students.

“It’s very sad for teachers that supports are going to be cut,” said Leslea Woodward, president of the Okanagan Skaha Teachers’ Union, add-

ing members are at a loss for ideas for finding cost savings elsewhere.

The head of the district par-ent advisory council said he appreciates that many of the job reductions would be achieved through attrition.

“It’s the best of a bad situa-tion,” said Derek Hurst. “We just have to keep lobbying the government to increase educa-tion funding,” he continued.

Concerns about underfund-ing aren’t isolated to Okanagan Skaha, said school board chair-man Bruce Johnson.

School district staff and trustees are still accepting feed-back on the budget, which is expected to be adopted in June. Comments can also be made online at www.sd67.bc.ca.

VICTORIA – Last week’s column on Earth Day myths attracted a fair amount of criti-cism.

One tireless member of the “Alberta tar sands killing the planet” crowd scolded me for daring to mention that 60 per cent of the oil pol-lution in the oceans around North Amer-ica comes from natural seeps.

That’s eight times more than all pipe-line and tanker spills combined, and it’s been going on 24 hours a day for the last 10,000 years or so.

This fact blows another hole in the carefully crafted nar-rative that only Canadian oil exports to Asia would destroy our delicate ecosystems.

That narrative is why the daily Alaska supertankers along the B.C. coast are ignored, as is the barbaric shale oil rush in North Dakota that can be seen from space.

U.S. oil barons are flaring off the vast volume of natural gas that comes up with the more valuable light crude, while the U.S. environment lobby obsess-es over the Keystone XL pipe-line.

Here’s another one that may upset people indoctrinated by our school system, media and our supposedly green B.C. Lib-eral government.

B.C.’s recent pine beetle epi-demic was caused by human carbon emissions, right? Every-

body knows that. Gordon Campbell hammered the point home in speeches for years.

In 2012 I participated in a B.C. forests ministry tour of facilities where hardy seed-lings are grown for reforesta-tion.

Test plantings were also underway to see if the range of southern tree species is shift-ing northward due to climate change.

During the bus ride, I asked the province’s top forest scien-tists if Campbell was right. The answer? We don’t have enough evidence to conclude that. As for shifting tree habitat, those decades-long experiments are continuing.

The scientists confirmed what I already knew, which is that the most recent bark beetle epidemic is the latest of many.

It’s the largest “on record,” but the record goes back less than a century.

In 2008 I interviewed Lorne Swanell on the occasion of his 100th birthday.

A graduate of UBC’s school of forest engineering, Swanell began his career with the for-ests ministry in 1930.

After a year as a ranger, he was assigned to the Kamloops region to help deal with a pine beetle epidemic.

Conventional wisdom on the latest outbreak holds that it spread so far because of a lack of cold winters, attributed to human carbon emissions.

I grew up in northern B.C., and my last two visits to the

Peace country were both in January.

In 2004 I recall changing planes on the tarmac of Prince George airport, moving brisk-ly in the daytime temperature near -40 C.

That night, and subsequent nights, the mercury dropped to -50 C.

In January 2013 I returned for some discussions on the Enbridge pipeline route, and experienced a relatively balmy -30 C in the daytime.

So when I hear people talk about the end of cold winters in northern B.C. because of global warming, it’s difficult to square with personal experience.

I can hear the rebuttals already. It takes long periods of extreme cold to kill the pine beetle. How long? Longer than those ones, of course.

Similarly flexible theories are being advanced to explain the 17-year “pause” in Earth’s average surface temperature rise, the growing Antarctic ice sheet, and this past winter’s “polar vortex.”

If anyone has substan-tial evidence that CO2 from human activity was the trig-ger mechanism for the latest beetle outbreak in B.C., I’d like to see it.

But please, spare me the affirmations of quasi-religious faith that often pass for climate change arguments today.

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

The new regulations governing the production of medical mari-juana are from the federal govern-ment, not from the local govern-ment.

While it is understand-able that med-ical marijuana is under feder-al jurisdiction, the municipal-ity appears to have little control over these oper-ations, even though their presence is felt most strongly at the com-munity level.

For this reason, it would be best to have a structure in place which allows the municipality some say in approving and regulat-ing grow operations in place here.

culls

Once again Summerland marked Earth Week with an assortment of activities.

The week’s activities help to reinforce the import-ance of the environment for all of us.

Arranging this volume of activ-ities is a challenging task. Many hours of volunteer work were spent in the planning, preparation and organization of the activities.

Continuing a focus on environ-mental concerns will benefit us all.

ourpickA no-win

situationSummerland’s munici-

pal council has passed third reading of the controversial Urban Growth Strategy, send-ing the document on to the Agricultural Land Commission for approval.

The decision was a difficult one which left council with no good options.

The plan was the result of close to a year of public meetings and information-gathering exercises in 2013. Since December, the proposal — in particular the exchange agricultural land — has gener-ated much opposition from the community.

The resulting polarization has put the members of muni-cipal council in a no-win situa-tion.

Approving the plan, as was done on Monday evening, also means angering the many Summerlanders who believe the plan is a bad choice for the community.

The number of people opposed is significant. More than 1,500 Summerlanders signed a petition opposing the land exchange.

Rejecting the plan would have left Summerland without a workable plan for future growth.

The existing growth plan, in the 2008 Official Community Plan, was ideal for the Summerland Hills Golf Resort, but it did not work for any smaller developments.

Furthermore, if council had rejected the plan, ques-tions would be raised about why the municipality hired qualified planners and con-sultants to create such a plan.

Now that the vote has been made, the future of the plan is no longer a Summerland decision. Instead, it is up to the Agricultural Land Commission to deter-mine if the controversial land plan is accepted or rejected.

The outcome of that decision will determine how Summerland will grow and develop in the years to come.

The decision for the land commission will be just as difficult as it was for the mem-bers of Summerland’s council.

THE EARLY YEARS

No sudden stops, pleaseThey must have run out of convertibles to convey visiting royalty in this parade in Penticton. However, that didn’t seem to deter Summerland’s 1956 Queen Darlene Bonthoux and princesses Anne Solly and Donna Eden. Seated on top of a station wagon, they may have been considerably safer than those spectators perched on a nearby rooftop. The Summerland Museum would like to congratulate all of the candidates in this year’s Blossom Pageant. You are all winners! And you may rest assured you will not be required to car surf in any parades.

Measures taken to discredit planDear Editor:I came away from

last week’s public hearing saddened to hear the extreme measures some will go to in an effort to discredit a plan that was developed by residents of our com-munity.

I also thought some speakers took unfair shots at local officials. The majority campaigned on this issue.

I think it is time for rational heads to prevail and also abol-ish some of the more popular themes.

Conflict of inter-est: If those council-lors are land specula-tors, they aren’t very good at it. They have owned this land for almost 40 years.

The conspiracy theory: Of course the planners would have consulted with the Agricultural Land

Commission long before the Future Summerland process began because if the ALC would not have entertained the idea then we would have been told not to touch the Agricultural Land Reserve boundaries. This was the first time the public have been given the oppor-tunity to consider expanding the Urban Growth Area beyond Quinpool Road.

Prime agriculture land: In my case this “prime land” includes 3½ acres of 37 degree natural slope, three acres of commercial building and truck yard, about two acres of gravelly hillside, about one acre of rich top soil and the balance of normal gravelly land common to our area.

I think it is time for us to come up with viable options.

We have seen our last 30 years of options and some of them are not pretty or viable. Recent examples are Rock Garden Estates, Cart-wright North, bare land strata over Dale Meadows and wild fire development overlooking James Lake. They did not require ALC approv-al.

I don’t believe any time soon we will

start building new homes in someone’s back yard or knock-ing down four older homes to build multi-family homes.

The ALC have been inundated with objections and have heard from practical-ly none of the sup-porters. Now it is up to them to weigh the evidence.

In the meantime we should all be thinking about our

future. Do we really want to isolate about half our installed urban services for the possibility some of this land may feed future generations?

If the ALC approves this plan, how do we envision our community in the future?

If they don’t, what’s our better idea?

Don HudgeonSummerland

Dear Editor:I participated in

the public consulta-tion process that has ended in the deci-sion by Summer-land council to ask for the removal of farmable land from the Agriculture Land

Reserve.I reject the labels

that have been thrown at me and those such as myself who have stood up to oppose this land swap. (to wit, in a media interview after the March 3 Pub-

lic Hearing Mayor Janice Perrino called us “fear mongers” and in a recent letter, Terry Manders called us “selfish.”)

Through two pub-lic hearings and one question-and-answer town hall meeting, council never made an honest effort to communicate one-on-one.

We still don’t know who are the propon-ents of the plan.

Except for a hand-ful of landowners

in the exclusion area who have had the courage of con-viction to use their real names and the writer on the editor-ial page, social media and paid ads have embraced the prac-tice of pseudonyms.

Thankfully there were these public meetings because the ultimate result is that the comments create a record that will go forward to the Agri-culture Land Com-mission, not just the

opinions of mayor and council.

I would urge all people who oppose this land swap to send a letter to the ALC to ask to delay their decision until after the November municipal election so

the new council can revise the proposal.

This is the second of two columns addressing what I see as the greatest threat to the BC environ-ment in our lifetime.

The Alberta oil industry’s Northern Gateway plan is to export bitumen to Asia via tankers from the B.C. coast. Under no circumstances should we allow that to happen. A bitu-men spill at sea could destroy our coastline, together with the fish and wildlife that depend on it, for hun-dreds of years.

My first column discussed the light oil spill by the Exxon Valdez and the ter-rible toll it took on the Alaskan habitat and fishery. It also

gave proof that a bitumen spill would be far worse. A bitu-men spill would be almost complete-ly unrecoverable because it would sink and stay on the bottom of our sea-bed.

The solution that is best for Canada is to build a refinery in Kitimat. I am pro-moting and backing this solution. It will convert the bitumen to very light fuels that would float and evaporate if ever spilled.

There are other enormous benefits:

o There will be a major reduction in greenhouse gases. We will use new cutting-edge Canadian tech-

nology in our refin-ery. It will be so clean that in combination with oil sands extrac-tion there will be less CO2 than in the huge conventional oilfields and refineries of Iraq and Nigeria. In other words the Kitimat refinery will neutral-ize the extra green-house gases gener-ated in Canada’s oil sands. This refinery will be built in Asia if not in Kitimat, and if so it will emit double the CO2 of our new design. This is the reason that Andrew Weaver of the BC Green Party is in favour of a Canadian refinery.

o An Asian refin-ery will also gener-ate 100 train cars a day of very dirty coke (much fouler than BC coal) which will be subsequently burnt in the atmosphere to create power. The Kitimat refinery will not result in the pro-duction of any coke. As we all live on

one planet, it is far better for the global environment to build this refinery in Can-ada.

o Construction of the refinery will cre-ate 6,000 jobs in B.C. for five years. Oper-ations at the refinery will result in more permanent jobs than any project has ever created in B.C. with approximately 3,000 direct jobs. These will be highly paid perma-nent jobs. These jobs will be available for the life of the refin-ery which should be in excess of 50 years. In addition there will be thousands of other jobs created in spin-off local petrochem-ical companies and in indirect employment throughout the prov-ince.

o The Canadian and Provincial gov-ernments, local regional districts and municipalities, and many First Nations, will share in billions of new tax dollars

each year.Unfortunately our

Canadian oil com-panies are not inter-ested in building a new major refinery. They are focused on extraction which is more profitable than refining. One of them challenged me to spearhead the refinery myself, so I am doing that. We have a solid busi-ness plan and as a consequence Chi-nese banks and other institutions are prepared to lend us most of the funds required to build the greenest and most efficient refinery in the world. We are currently moving ahead with engin-eering design and environmental work.

We will also build a safe pipeline from Alberta to the refin-ery, with the active participation of First Nations. Modern pipelines can be built and operated safely. Leak data is available

for everyone to see on Canadian and U.S. government websites and it proves recent-ly constructed pipe-lines are not leaking. Furthermore some of the best pipelin-ing companies in the world are based in Canada.

In addition we will build a fleet of new tankers, powered by LNG rather than Bunker C oil, to trans-port the refined prod-ucts to Asia. This way we know the tankers will be state-of-the-art and as safe as pos-sible. The fleet will be

owned by a company based in BC so it can-not shirk its legal lia-bility if there ever is a spill at sea.

Let me be up front about my biases.  I am for creating thou-sands of good perma-nent jobs in B.C. I am for creating billions of new tax dollars for government coffers. I am for reducing the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions. I am for building an oil pipeline that will never leak. I am for building a modern tanker fleet that car-ries only refined fuels that float and evaporate if spilled. I am against shipping bitumen in tankers.

If you agree that we should not put bitumen in tankers please contact your local MP and say so. The Canadian gov-ernment makes a decision on Northern Gateway next month.

Composting workshopCameron Baughen from the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen held a workshop on composting at the Summer-land Ornamental Gardens on Saturday. The event was well attended, with people learning many tips on what the right mix of vegetable scraps, green vegetation or leaves and water is in order to keep the compost bin working, and not stinking. The workshop was part of Earth Week.

BC Hydro custom-ers who refuse to part with their mech-anical power meters will continue to pay $32.40 a month for manual meter read-ings, with a refund on the balance of the $35 they’ve been pay-ing since December.

The B.C. Utilities Commission ruled on BC Hydro’s smart meter opt-out fees Friday, after an order from the B.C. govern-ment required the regulator to approve

fees covering all of BC Hydro’s costs.

A $20 a month charge will continue for BC Hydro cus-tomers who accept a digital meter with the radio transmis-sion function turned off.

The commission cut the one-time fee for disabling the meter radio to $22.60, far below BC Hydro’s proposed $100.

Most of BC Hydro’s nearly two million customers now have fully functioning smart meters, which send daily readings to

a collection network and signal when power goes out and comes back on.

A few customers cling to theories that the meters present a health hazard, despite evidence that their signals are weaker than the natural back-ground of radio fre-quency signals even in remote areas.

BC Hydro’s meter upgrade was exempted from review, but the com-mission ruled last year on similar equip-ment for FortisBC’s electrical grid in the

Okanagan and Koo-tenay regions.

C o m m i s s i o n e r s rejected testimony from smart meter opponents, noting that their spokesmen were unqualified and in most cases repeating false or exaggerated claims in order to sell solutions to the purported haz-ards.

BC Hydro spent nearly $1 billion to upgrade its grid, forecasting savings from automatic meter reading to faster detection of out-ages and elimination

of power theft from meter bypasses.

The commission also reduced fees for customers who move and request a radio-off meter at their new address.

To switch from a mechanical meter to a radio-off meter will cost $77.60, reduced from the BC Hydro’s proposed $100.

Going from one radio-off meter to another will cost $132.60, down from the proposed $155 that includes activat-ing the meter in the former residence.

Gardening basicsJoanne Smiley, assistant community librarian at the Summerland Library, taught a group of young children how to grow a square inch vegetable garden on Saturday afternoon. The free workshop was held at the Summerland Library as part of Earth Week events.

Dr. Cindee Melashenko

Q I am frustrated with my

bottom denture. I thought it would be more like my teeth but I can’t chew like I used to and I really don’t it. What can I do to change that?

ADentures are not meant to be a replacement for teeth, they are a replacement for NO

teeth. Most of us expect dentures to work just like our teeth. We expect to eat everything and chew the same way we did with our teeth but we find out quickly that we cannot.

The first step to solving dentures that do not fit is to find out if the bite is set up well. That can be evaluated that during an exam. During the exam we can also verify that the denture fits the gums well. Sometimes we can add a soft liner to the denture to make it fit better.

Once the bite and fit are good, implants or mini implants can be used to help secure the dentures so that you can chew without them moving. In the lower jaw, we usually use a minimum of 2 implants to secure a denture. Some of my patients don’t have very much bone left because they have been wearing a denture so long, so we may have to use 4 mini implants to do the same thing.

I encourage you to see if you are a candidate for implants to help you be more secure in smiling with your denture and eating the foods you want to eat.

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

A gathering of bakersMore than 20 amateur bakers gathered to showcase their creations using ancient grains at the Summerland Bakers meetup on April 24 at True Grain Bread. The baking group started a year ago and has grown substantially. Members meet monthly, often hosted by local businesses, and share their baking made from scratch.

A talent show at Centre Stage Theatre next week will raise money for a humani-tarian trip to Africa.

The 12th Annual Talent Show will be held at Centre Stage Theatre on Monday and Tuesday, May 5

and 6, beginning at 7 p.m. both evenings.

Proceeds will go towards the building fund for the school

district’s humanitar-ian trip to Tanzania.

More than 30 stu-dents and chaper-ones will be in Aru-

sha, Tanzania for two weeks this summer to continue building additions to the exist-ing orphanage.

The talent show is produced by Sum-merland Secondary School students.

Performers include students from other schools and members of the community.

The Planks, a recently created cover band with three members from Sum-merland Secondary School and Penticton Secondary School will perform.

Members of Sum-

merland Singers and Players will perform scenes from Almost Maine, the play they will take to a theatre festival later this year.

Other entertainers include singers, dan-cers, gymnasts and poets.

The show was started by Lindsey Richardson when she was a Grade 5 stu-dent at Trout Creek Elementary School.

At the time, it was a fundraiser for Free The Children.

Since that time, it has supported the school district’s

efforts n Tanzania.Richardson trav-

elled to the Lohada orphanage as a vol-unteer during her first year of univer-sity.

Since then, the school district has taken close to 75 stu-dents there to volun-teer.

The students cover their own travel costs. They must also raise money to fund the projects they com-plete while there.

Over the 12 years, the program has raised around $50,000.

Talent show held at Centre Stage Theatre

The Terry Fox Foundation is look-ing for an organizer for the annual run in Summerland this year.

The run has been held in Summerland since 1986 and for the past four years, Keith Johnson has been the organizer. This year he is stepping down from that role.

“It would be such a shame for the people of Summerland to miss out on an oppor-tunity to keep Terry’s legacy alive as every community, no mat-ter how big or small, can make a huge impact, just as Terry learned when a small town of 10,000 people raised over $10,000,” said Donna White, provincial direc-tor for the Terry Fox Foundation British Columbia and Yukon.

The run is held each fall as a cancer fundraiser in mem-

ory of Terry Fox.In 1980, Fox, who

lost a leg to cancer, began the Mara-thon of Hope, a cross-country run to raise money and awareness for cancer research.

The cancer later returned and Fox died in 1981, at the age of 22.

During the run, he ran the equivalent of a marathon each day for 143 consecutive days.

The Terry Fox Run will be held this year on Sunday, Sept. 14.

Those interested in becoming the Sum-merland run organ-izer are asked to con-tact White by email at bcyukon@terryfoxrun.org or by phone at 1-888-836-9786.

Review

The gift of sound is what the Quest Society for Hearing Enhancement gives to local residents.

Their mandate is to assist the hearing and speech impaired, to assist women and children in need, to enhance the quality of the hearing experi-ence and to aid in the reduction of hearing loss.

Joan Lansdell con-siders herself to be the matriarch of the club. She recalls a time when the mem-bers belonged to Quota International. They were not happy with the fact that the money they raised was not used locally, so they decided to break away.

“We said this is ridiculous! Why don’t we start a soci-ety here, similar to Quota, get another name and be specific for Summerland. So the girls put their heads together and came up with the name Quest. We got our charter and regis-tered as a non-profit Society,” explained Lansdell.

“One of our first projects was to put a hearing system in the schools, because we had a few chil-dren that were hard of hearing. There were four speakers in a room and the teach-er had a mic. When she was talking you’d swear she was right beside you. Plus the teacher didn’t have to lose her voice. She could turn her back and still be heard. The systems cost us approximately $1,200 each at the time. We are now looking at updating them,” she said.

Quest was also responsible for put-ting in a similar sys-tem at Centre Stage Theater, where the-

ater goers can wear headphones in order to hear the perform-ance.

In order to assist in training speech therapists and audi-ologists, Quest gives two $1,000 bursaries to UBC each year.

They also give a $500 bursary to a local high school stu-dent who is either hard of hearing or

has been accepted to a university and is in need financially.

“We’ve constantly given to the local food bank and we’ve contributed to Agur Lake Camp every year,” said Lansdell.

She also talked about an exciting new project the Soci-ety is working on.

Landsdell’s hus-band had passed

away while only hav-ing worn his hearing aids for six months.

“I thought, here I’ve got an able pair of hearing aids and what am I going to do with them? Why don’t we collect hear-ing aids and see if we can get them recondi-tioned and let people who can’t afford any, be able to have them.”

The collection boxes for people to donate hearing aids that are three years old or newer have now been placed in local pharmacies.

In order to raise funds for all of these initiatives, Quest holds several unique fundraisers.

This year they will host their ninth bi-annual Garden Tour. Remembering the first one they held Lansdell said,

“We had 12 gar-

dens and it rained and it poured and we thought we would never get anyone out, but gardeners come even if it is snowing!”

She went on to explain that “they are self-directed tours

and we man them, our people are there.”

This year the tour is on Saturday, June 28 and will feature ten different gardens. There will also be a master gardener at each yard to answer questions.

Last September the group hosted its first Bridge Tournament. It

was an all-day event held at the IOOF Hall and included a lunch that was cooked and served by the Quest members. This will now be an annual event.

Each year during

the Christmas season, these ladies sell raffle tickets for a Money Tree full of toonies. The tree is valued at $300.

Like many organ-izations Quest is always looking for new members.

“We really need young blood. The organizations are all

falling apart. We are all growing old,” said Lansdell. “We meet just once a month and the fees are only $20 per year.”

Lansdell also men-tioned that May is Speech and Hearing month right across Canada.

“Statistically we know that we are getting younger and younger people that are becoming deaf. We are trying to make the kids more aware of what they are doing to their hear-ing,” she said.

Quest provides hearing assistance

Promoting good hearingJoan Lansdell led the call to form the Quest Society for Hearing Enhancement, a Summer-land-based charity working to enhance the quality of hearing and reduce hearing loss.

“Statistically we know that we are getting younger and younger people that are becoming deaf. We are trying to make the kids more aware of what they are doing to their hearing.”

Additional benefit concert will be held in Okanagan on Sunday

Summerland sop-rano Tracy Fehr sang for ambassadors, mayors, government ministers and other high profile guests on a recent concert tour in North Africa.

Singing in pal-ace halls and muni-cipal theatres, Fehr brought awareness to ACT, a livelihood project for North African single moth-ers and disadvan-taged women.

This was Fehr’s third visit to North Africa where she hosts workshops and meets with many of the women current-ly being assisted by ACT.

Among other initiatives, this non-profit organization helps unwed moth-ers and marginalized women receive train-ing and funds to set up small home-based businesses.

In addition to tours in Africa and the United Kingdom, Fehr raises money for ACT by hosting the annual Voices in Song benefit concerts in Penticton.

With this year’s concert on May 4,

Fehr and senior sing-ers from her studio

hope to assist a single mother to restock her market stall which was wiped out in a flood.

With a stocked store, she will once again be able to pro-vide for her family without resorting to her former life as a street worker.

Over the years, Fehr and singers have been able to raise money for a variety of projects.

Last year the group successfully raised money to help an abused mother pur-chase a motorcycle, which enables her to take her weaving to market, and provide for her family.

“She has more con-

fidence, more respect as a business woman, and is now men-toring other young moms who are com-ing into the liveli-hood program,” says Fehr.

This year’s concert will be held at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Penticton on Sunday, May 4 at 7 p.m.

Accompanists are Dennis Nordlund on piano and Elizabeth Lupton on violin.

Tickets can be pur-chased at the Pentic-ton and District Com-munity Arts Coun-cil, 220 Manor Park Avenue or from Tracy Fehr by calling 250-494-1042 or emailing tlfehr@shaw.ca.

Benefit concertTracy Fehr is accompanied by Saif Eddine Srairi on the oud at a benefit concert for disadvantaged North African women at the Palais Ennejma Ezzahra, Tunisia.

Summerland Review Thursday, May 1, 2014 www.summerlandreview.com 11

Mothers are so busy taking care of ev-eryone else, they often put themselves last on the list. If you are a busy mom,

here are some simple ideas to nurture and pamper yourself and keep that inner spark glowing:

Diet and Exercise: Women who eat right and get enough sleep usually experience greater levels of energy, lower levels of stress, and increased self-esteem. In fact, some forms of exercise can be fun to do with children too, so everyone can benefi t.

Home Spa: A woman deserves to be pam-pered, but she doesn’t always have the time or budget to get away for some spa time. Why not turn your bathroom into a home spa to help you enjoy the relaxation and beauty benefi ts of a sublime soak.

Pursue Hobbies: A few hours of pure creative engagement apart from the family (think art

class, photography, or a pottery workshop) can recharge your batteries.

Volunteer: Volunteering is another way to nurture your interests and connect with other people. This is especially important for stay-at-home moms. Find a cause you’re passionate about, or get involved with a local organization like Christian Children’s Fund of Canada (www.ccfcanada.ca) and help improve the lives of children and mothers living in poverty around the world.

Build Your Support Network: Who’s on your speed dial? Develop a set of close connections you can depend on in a pinch, and vice versa.

Most professionals agree that it’s important for mothers to aim for balance in their lives. Tak-ing care of yourself, for example, will not only give you time away from your loved ones to refl ect and appreciate, but will add vitality and reduce stress. Your entire family will benefi t.

Songs for Earth WeekLinnea Good leads Montessori School students in songs at Summerland’s Earth Week celebrations at the Dale Meadows Sports Complex on Sunday. Throughout the past week, numerous activities and events were held to observe Earth Week. At left is David Jonsson on guitar.

Funding for artsMLA Dan Ashton recently presented a cheque for $13,660 to Sharry Schneider treasurer of the Summerland Community Arts Council to help with operating costs this year.

A Summerland restaurant has been ranked among the best in the province in a recent series of restaurant awards.

Local Lounge and Grille took bronze in the Best Okanagan in Vancouver Maga-zine’s Restaurant Awards in the best Okanagan category.

More than 700 chefs, restaurant r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s ,

sommeliers and food critics gathered in Vancouver last week for the award ceremonies.

Finalists were selected in 49 cat-egories.

Christa-Lee McWat-ters Bond of Local Lounge and Grille said the awards are the most prestigious restaurant awards in the province and are recognized by others in the industry as well as by consumers.

She said the restau-rant’s success is its approach to food.

“We just continue

with our philoso-phy of using local ingredients as much as possible and let-ting the foods taste as they should,” she

said.She added that

Lee Humphries, chef at the restaurant has

done much to ensure a high quality of food.

Humphries, for-merly of Vancouver’s C restaurant, joined

Local Lounge and Grille in June.

In addition to pla-cing an emphasis on locally-produced or provincially-produced foods as much as possible, the restaurant also changes its menu throughout the year to accommodate those items which are in season.

Wines at the res-taurant are from British Columbia, produced within 100

kilometres of the res-taurant.

McWatters Bond said the emphasis on

local foods is becom-ing more common among B.C. restau-rants.

Restaurant receives provincial honours

“We just continue with our phil-osophy of using local ingredients as much as possible and letting the foods taste as they should.”

The Friends of Summerland Orna-mental Gardens will hold their annual Spring Plant Sale and Arts Festival on Sun-day, May 4 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This is one of the Okanagan’s pre-mier home garden-ing events, attract-ing visitors from throughout the Inter-ior, with thousands of plants for sale, flowering Moth-er ’s Day baskets, vegetables, herbs, flowers, shrubs, ornamentals, roses, orchids and unusual and heritage vege-tables.

Artisans will dis-play unusual crafts, and many free infor-mation booths will give visitors a chance to get garden and nature questions answered.

During the day, there will also be free talks on a subject dear to the hearts of Okanagan gardeners.

A talk on tomato growing will be held at 11 a.m., noon and 1 p.m.

There will also be a demonstration of cloud pruning for shrubs between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Attendees will be well informed to get the best yield from the tomatoes they buy at the sale. The Master Gardeners, Meadowlark Festi-val, Invasive Plant Society, and Friends of the Garden will have information booths.

As well as the tomato growing workshops, the Pen-ticton Bonsai Club

will have a display. Visitors are wel-

come to tour the latest innovations that have taken place at the gardens over the past year, includ-ing the new Rain Garden, the new Welcome Garden, the experimental Water-boxx installation, plus a new children’s vegetable garden and many other updated features.

Proceeds will help the non-profit Friends of the Garden Society pay their bills.

Friends of Sum-merland Ornamental Gardens is a regis-tered non-profit soci-ety who work in col-laboration with the Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre to maintain the Gar-dens for the public to enjoy.

With scoops and plastic bags in hand, members of the Sum-merland Dog Owners Association were out at Peach Orchard Beach on Sunday afternoon during a Pick Up Poop Party.

This is the third year the dog owners have held the clean-up efforts at beaches and parks in the com-munity.

“We run this event because we believe that if we all clean up

after our dogs, public opinion of dogs and dog ownership will be much more posi-tive,” said Pamela Ayotte, president of the association.

From October to April, Peach Orchard Park can be used as an off-leash park for dogs.

Ayotte said the dog owners would like to have a safe, fenced year-round field for dog owners to exer-cise and socialize

their pets. Such parks are in place in Lake Country, Kelowna and Penticton.

“Summerland Dog Owners Association is working with the district and commun-ity groups to help finally bring such a park to Summerland residents too,” she said.

The next clean-up party will be held at Sunoka Dog Beach on Sunday beginning at 1:30 p.m.

Dog owners cleaning up at area parks

Cleaning upIrene Burrell, a member of the Summerland Dog Owners Association, was one of the participants in the Pick Up Poop Party at Peach Orchard Beach on Sunday afternoon. Dog owners have been cleaning up at vari-ous beaches and parks in the community this spring.

Two new interpret-ive signs have been installed along the Trans Canada Trail above Prairie Valley.

The funding came from the Commun-ity Foundation, the Trans Canada Trail Society and from the

municipality.One sign describes

“Millionaires’ Row” in Prairie Valley.

When Sir Thomas

Shaughnessy found-ed the community of Summerland he was able to convince sever-al of his wealthy busi-

ness partners to invest in the new community.

The second sign describes how Sum-merland was found-

ed. Shaughnessy acquired the large Barclay cattle ranch in August, 1902.

The reason Barclay

had the ranch for sale was because his wife Caroline wished to return to live at her home in Ashcroft.

Interpretive signs installed along trail

A sign along the trailThe Summerland Museum hosted a walking tour along the Trans Canada Trail during Earth Week. This photograph shows the new Millionaires’ Row sign in Prairie Valley. The signage is courtesy of the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan Similkameen, the Trans Canada Trails Society and the District of Summerland.

One of many things I have learn-ed in my time as a Member of Parlia-ment is that when it comes to serious acts of senseless violence and the traumatic loss of loved ones is that while media attention is often very intense when these acts occur, they are more often than not short lived.

Family and friends left behind from these brutal acts of violence never forget and even decades later are still impacted in ways that forever change their lives. 

In 1982 a  disturb-ing act of violence took the lives of a loving family of six while on a camping trip in  Wells Gray provincial Park.

The shock of los-ing a local family

including two young girls  devas-tating many in the community of West-bank. 

Friends, cowork-ers and classmates to this very day are still reminded of this tragedy as every two years they are forced to re-live their loss and this horrific event.

Why do I say they are forced? The indi-vidual responsible for taking the lives of this family:  David Shear-ing (who has since changed his name to David Ennis), is due for yet another legislated review that could potentially lead to being paroled. 

For the family and friends left behind, this means another trip they must finance to travel a sig-nificant distance  in

order to appear at the review. I believe we should all take a moment to reflect on this situation. 

September is a time of year when children and families are get-ting ready for a new school year. It should not be a time when families and friends are forced to travel a significant distance at great expense solely to relive a life-altering tragedy and face the individual who for-ever destroyed their families and friend-ships.

The fact that the victims are forced to continually make this journey and relive this horror every few years is in my view unthinkable. 

It seldom makes the news these days but when I hear from the victims, friends

and classmates this is a situation that con-tinues to cause great pain and suffering for all of them. Many live in fear to this day in the event that parole is ever grant-ed. 

As I shared in the House of Commons in June of last year, it should not have to be this way. No family should be forced to endure reliving such a horrific tragedy over and over at par-ole hearings. 

Many citizens I have heard from in Westbank/West Kelowna agree and currently a petition and other advocacy campaigns are under-way to help gain sup-port to take action in this situation. I sup-port the citizens of Westbank in these efforts and that is

why I am also sup-porting Private Mem-bers Bill C-587 from Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes. Bill C-587 (formerly Bill C-478 from Selkirk-Interlake MP James Bezan)  “Respecting Families of Murdered and Brutalized Per-sons Act”.  Bill C-587 is a very specific bill that is intended to impact only those individuals convicted of very serious crim-inal acts involving abduction, sexual assault and ultimate-ly murder.

Bill C-587 does not propose to alter the period of time a criminal convicted of these combined acts would spend in jail.

What Bill C-587 does propose is to offer a judge the added discretionary

ability of increasing the period of parole ineligibility from the current 25 year max-imum up to a max-imum of 40 years.

The intent of this bill is solely to spare family’s and vic-tims the trauma of having to appear at a parole hearing every two years as is currently the case for those in West Kelowna appearing

at the Alberta locat-ed hearing for David Ennis. 

This bill, if passed, would have also been of bene-fit to families who lost loved ones from other convicted murderers such as Clifford Olson (now deceased) Paul Ber-nardo, David James Dobson and others.

This bill is current-ly awaiting second reading debate.  If you would like fur-ther information on this or any bill before the House of Com-mons please contact me via email at  dan.albas@parl.gc.ca  or toll free at 1-800-665-8711.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our mother on April 22, 2014 at Penticton Regional Hospital, aft er a lengthy illness. Vi was born in Percival, Saskatchewan, a small prairie town. In her early teens she began her journey west, making a couple of stops in Alberta before settling in Haney, BC, where she married Charlie and they began their family. Mom was a beautiful, caring woman. She opened her home to many, sharing the loving kindness in her heart. Th ough she appreciated the simple things in life, her impact on other people was immeasurable. Her friendliness and generosity of spirit was admired by everyone who knew her. Th ere was always comfort in her words and compassion in her manner. She was strong when others needed strength. She gave her heart completely to family, friends and animals. All these things that she was in life will never be forgotten by those who knew her and loved her. For in the end, life never really ends, it’s just a step in time. She is survived by her loving children, Wayne (Brenda), Lennie, Christine (Barry); grandchildren, Cindy and Drew; stepfather, Randolph, aunt, Louise (George); uncles, Alf and Elmer, and many more relatives. She was predeceased by her husband Charlie, son Barry, mother Edith and father Nels. A celebration of her life will be held at the clubhouse at the Red Wing Resort, Penticton, BC, on Saturday, May 3rd, 2014, at 1 pm. Th e family wishes to thank Dr. Watters and nurse Antoinette for all their exceptional care. In lieu of fl owers, donations to the BC SPCA would be gratefully appreciated, as it was her love and compassion for all living things.

Love you forever, Mom.

FRANCIS, HILLASPassed away suddenly & unexpectedly, but peacefully, on April 22, 2014 at home in Summerland in the presence of his wife Barb. Hillas was born in 1932 on his family farm in Belloy, Alberta to his parents Walter & Susan Francis, who were homesteaders. A true child of the depression, he was proud of his Irish heritage, and was made of hardy stock and had a strong work ethic. Hillas showed his family the importance of working hard and being generous. He was well admired by his community for his interest in always helping others – from volunteering with C.O.P.S., a long time member of the Masonic Lodge, as well as a Kinsman, to constantly offering help with neighbours & friends with any project on their house or yard. He was a wonderful handyman and could basically put together anything with his hands. Hillas has left behind his dear wife Barbara (married 57 1/2 years), daughters Susan (Russell) & Anne, grandchildren Amy, Lia and Leilan, and great grandchild Riley, as well as sister Elizabeth, and numerous cousins, nieces & nephews & many dear friends. Predeceased by sister Helen and grandson Gabriel. He will be sadly missed, but held close in our hearts. “May the road rise up to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, And the rain fall soft upon your fields, And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand”

No service by request. Private Irish wake to follow later. Condolences may be directed to the family

It is with deep sadness that the family of Joanne Eileen McCague (Osborne) (nee Norrie-Loewenthal) announces her passing on March 15, 2014 after a very brief illness.

Joanne was born in Vancouver, BC on November 6, 1942 to parents Bill (William) and Dolly (Alice) Norrie-Loewenthal. The child of a mining accountant, Joanne lived in different locations, including Ashcroft, Hedley, Vancouver, and Uranium City (Sask.). Joanne had fantastic stories to tell of childhood adventures - riding mining ore carts every day from the family’s house at the mine site high above Hedley down into town was one of our favourite stories.

Joanne was a graduate of the Vancouver General Hospital (VGH) School of Nursing in 1964 and was proud to work as a Registered Nurse. As a nurse, Joanne always had the time and compassion to listen to her patients, hold their hand, or offer some other comfort to them. Joanne’s favourite nursing position was in Summerland, working for Drs. Bartel and Williams and alongside Mary Stuart.

Joanne’s biggest source of joy was her family. She loved her daughters and grandchildren more than anything in the world, and was happiest when she was spending time with them. She loved family dinners, family camping weekends, having the family over at her house, and holidays - especially Easter weekends.

Joanne was known for her thoughtfulness and caring about others. She always had a good word to say about everyone, and loved to help wherever she could. Joanne could carry on a long conversation even with people she had just met, and made friends very easily. She always cooked enough so that she could accommodate extras at her dinner table and was famous for her fantastic dinners.

A consummate adventurer, Joanne loved to travel. In the past few years, Joanne and husband Mike enjoyed spending winters in sunny locations “down south” in their Fifth Wheel trailer - Joanne never missed the snow at all! She also loved to go “back-roading” throughout BC - exploring new fishing spots or looking for a ghost town. Joanne’s camera clicked thousands of photos and she wrote detailed emails to chronicle these adventures. On a summer day you would be hard pressed to find Joanne anywhere outside her garden - she was forever moving perennials or changing the size and location of her garden to maximize her flowers and produce. Her iris bulbs followed her from Dawson Creek to Slocan Park to Kamloops to Alberta - they were almost as well travelled as she was!

Joanne was predeceased by her parents, Bill and Dolly Norrie-Loewenthal. She leaves behind to forever mourn her loss, her daughters Deanna Holitzki (Russ), Karen Carlson (Randy), husband Mike McCague, brother Bill Norrie-Loewenthal (Karen) , grandchildren Matthew and Madeline, step-grandchildren Josh and Jordie, nephews Jeremy, Luke, Eric, and James, as well as many extended family members - including her long-lost relatives from South Africa with whom she had recently connected. Joanne also leaves behind good friends, including first husband Bob Osborne, forever friend Loreen Bridges, and many others.

Joanne Eileen McCague

A Celebration of Life will be held in Summerland, BC on Saturday, July 19, 2014 at 1:00pm, at St.

Stephen’s Anglican Church - everyone is welcome to attend to remember Joanne. In lieu of flowers, the family would request that anyone who wishes make

donations to the UBC School of Nursing.

Summerland Review Thursday, May 1, 2014 L I F E S T Y L E www.summerlandreview.com 23

A Summerland writer’s story about food is in the new anthology of stories, Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Multitask-ing Mom’s Survival Guide.

Brandy Lynn Maslowski’s story, Snack Attack, is one of the 101 short, inspirational stories in the collection.

Snack Attack is a humorous 11/2-page story about meals and snacks.

Maslowski said she had originally titled it, Pass the Sugar, Sugar.

She learned of the call for submissions for the anthology while she was the editor of the Funds for Writers news-letter.

When she saw the description of the anthology, she want-ed to enter.

“I was excited when I saw the title,” she said.

Maslowski, a for-mer firefighter, is also a quilt teacher, judge and host of Canadian Quilt Talk. She is also publish-ing her children’s picture book, Kris-ty’s Quilt, which was released earlier this year.

There are more than 250 titles in the Chicken Soup for

the Soul series. They have been translated into more than 40 lan-

guages and have sold more than 100 million copies.

Summerland story published in Chicken Soup anthology

An inspirational storyBrandy Lynn Maslowski’s story, Snack Attack, is one of the 101 stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Multitasking Mom’s Survival Guide.

S u m m e r l a n d -ers will take time to observe VE Day with

a ceremony and can-dle lighting service on Sunday afternoon.

The service, com-memorating the sur-render of Germany

at the end of World War II, will be held at Canyon View Cem-etery on Sunday at 1:30 p.m.

Following the ser-vice, candles will be lit and placed on veterans’ graves at all Summerland cem-eteries. Last year, 424 candles were placed at the graves of vet-erans buried in the community.

E n t e r t a i n m e n t at the Summerland Legion will follow at 2 p.m. and a dinner, free for veterans, will take place there at 5 p.m.

“For the majority of Canadian World War II veterans, VE Day is more significant than Remembrance Day as they served in the European Theatre,” said John Dorn, past president of the Sum-merland Legion. “VE Day marks the end of hostilities in Europe and their return jour-

ney home.”S u m m e r l a n d

Legion president Mike Brazeau said the observance is important as Canada played a significant role during World War II.

By the time Ger-many surrendered, Canada had the world’s third largest navy and the fourth largest air force, as well as six army divisions. Canada had roughly 100,000

people in its various military branches, while the country as a whole had a popu-lation of roughly 11 million people.

“We were quite the world power at the end of the Second World War,” Brazeau said.

A total of 25 Sum-merlanders died in military action dur-ing World War II and many more served. The community’s population was a lit-

tle more than 2,000 people at this time.

Brazeau said the ceremony and the candle lighting help to honour those who served. He said the display of lit candles is especially impres-sive after dark.

In addition to the ceremony and formal events, Brazeau said VE Day serves as an opportunity for mem-bers of the public to talk with some of Sum-merland’s veterans.

The final show at Summerland Art Gallery’s current location is aptly titled Our Journey Ends Here.

It will open in the Main Gallery next Thursday, May 8 with a reception from 7 to 9 p.m.

Our Journey Ends Here will feature lino prints from Dr. Valen Fanderlik’s original blocks.

Starting in 1955,

Dr. Fanderlik taught Latin, history, social studies, law and art at J.L. Crowe Sec-ondary School in Trail.

In addition, he taught art classes to children and adults throughout the West Kootenays.

He was also a life-time honorary mem-ber of the Trail Art Club.

While teaching, he was also creat-ing great lino cut art work.

A look at any of Dr. Fanderlik’s lino images reveals an impressive sense of scale and perspec-tive, of meticulous attention to details, and a love of coun-try side scenes and buildings.

As is often the case at the Summerland Art Centre a second show, Harmony in Music and Nature, will be opening in the adjoining Adams Room.

This show will feature works by fibre artist Allison Altherr.

With roots in agri-culture and a frontier lifestyle, and hum-bled by the power and beauty of the nat-ural world, Allison Altherr’s approach to art is practical as well as symbolic.

Nature provides her with a raw, lux-urious medium and limitless inspiration.

As a fibre artist she creates a harmoni-ous balance of rich earthy hues and sim-plistic natural form utilizing the organic fibre produced by the animals that sur-round her in every day life.

Allison will be performing some ori-ginal songs, with the group, Done Work-ing, on opening

night. Gallery hours are

Tuesday to Friday 1 to 4 p.m. and Sat-urdays 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Summer-land Art Gallery is (currently) at 9533 Main St.

The Arts Council’s annual Summer Art Program for kids will begin July 7 and you are advised to book early to avoid dis-appointment.

There are loads of exciting and chal-lenging workshops for kids of all ages. Whether you’re an actor, musician, art-ist or just simply want to have some fun you’re sure to find something to suit.

A list of all the classes can be found online at summer-landarts.com/pro-grams/summer-arts-program.

If you know of an event you feel should be included in the Arts Palette or on the Arts Coun-cil’s online calendar, please email artspal-ette@summerland-arts.com or call 250-404-3225.

The Arts Palette column is writ-ten by David Fin-nis, publicity chair and president of the Summerland Com-munity Arts Coun-cil, P.O. Box 1217, 9533 Main St., Sum-merland, B.C. V0H 1Z0.

Final art exhibit opens next week
