Out for a runMore than 300 runners will participate in the second annual Giant’s Head Grind on Saturday. The run begins at Peach Orchard Beach and ends at the top of Giant’s Head Mountain. Funds raised will go to colon cancer diagnostics and research and towards the upkeep and improvement of trails in the park.The race is organized by the Summerland Rotary Club along with a group of Summerland residents, including Ellen Walker-Matthews and her husband Tom Matthews, who lost their son Christopher Walker, to colon cancer in 2013.

The owners of a purebred German Shepherd puppy, missing from a Sum-merland home for the past two weeks, are asking for her return.

“Someone has her. Someone knows where she is,” Jodie Conti said of the family’s puppy, Grace.

The puppy dis-appeared from the family’s h o m e on Kelly Av e n u e on April 30.

C o n t i believes the dog was either taken or let out of the yard.

“Our yard is fully

fenced with a locked gate,” Conti said.

“There is no way she could get out on her own.”

She said the puppy could have been taken for future breeding purposes, since she had not yet been spayed.

Another possibility is that the puppy was let out of the yard and later picked up and taken by some-one else.

“She is a very friendly, attention-

seeking dog,” Conti said. “She would have gone to a human.”

When the Conti family researched about dogs for their newly blended family, they chose a German Shepherd since the breed is smart, loyal and pro-tective.

“She’s more than a dog. To us she’s

family,” Conti said. “It breaks my heart that someone else has her.”

She urges anyone who notices a young German Shepherd puppy to take a pic-ture and send it to her by text at 250-486-0844. “I don’t care who took her. I just want her home,” Conti said.

Missing puppy sought“Our yard is fully fenced with a locked gate. There is no way she could get out on her own.”

Trout Creek sewer extension approvedThe municipality

will extend sewer ser-vice to 25 homes in Trout Creek, but resi-dents do not need to connect to the service immediately.

Last June, coun-cil considered the request of property owners in the area to extend the sewer system to the area. The extension was

requested to replace failing on-site sewage systems.

A petition of resi-dents had 13 of the 25, or 52 per cent of properties and

51.85 per cent of the assessed values in favour of the exten-sion.

Under the Com-munity Charter, sup-port was required from at least 50 per cent of properties, representing at least 50 per cent of the assessed values.

The cost of extend-

ing the service and the additional cost for use of the exist-ing sewer capacity is estimated at $700,000.

The cost for each owner is $28,000 or $1,606 annually.

On Monday, coun-cil gave first three readings to a bylaw extending the sewer service to the Juniper,

Miltmore, Willow and Tait area in Trout creek. Staff will also issue a tender for the construction of the sewer works to pro-vide the service to the area.

Property owners who do not wish to connect at present may use functioning on-site systems until

Dec. 31, 2020. These properties

will still be required, by legislation, to par-ticipate in the local service area and pay the established par-cel tax, but they will not be required to pay the monthly fee for the operation and maintenance of the system.

Municipal staff will draft a policy to provide opportun-ities for buskers and street performers in the community.

On Monday even-ing, Coun. Doug Holmes introduced a notice of motion for the policy.

“Busking can have

a positive impact on the community,” he said, but added that guidelines are needed to regulate buskers.

The call for a policy

is in response to a request from local musicians who had suggested a busking competition for the community.

Busker policy considered

Summerland Fall Fair will proceedCommittee will streamline fair for this year

John Arendt

Despite a series of significant challen-ges, the Summerland Fall Fair will proceed this year.

Last month, Tim Broesch, president

of the fair, said the fair was strug-gling because grant funding had not been approved and because more mem-bers were needed for the committee.

While the status of the B.C. Gaming Commission grant is not yet known, Broesch said mem-

bers have joined the board of directors.

“We will have a Summerland Fall Fair this year,” he said following a Wednesday evening meeting.

“We’ve got enough people to make it feasible, but we can still use a few more.”

The fair is sched-uled to run on the

weekend of Sept. 12 and 13.

Broesch said the

weekend fair will be streamlined and

s i m p l i -fied for this year. Categor-ies which have not s e e n m a n y

entries may be elim-inated.

For example, some

of the animal cat-egories have had few entries in past years, while other categor-ies attract much more attention.

He said the restructuring is needed in order to have a simpler fair in the future.

“We don’t want to end up in this same situation again,” he said.

While the status of the gaming grant is not yet known, Broesch said it is still possible to run this

year’s fair without it.

The grant for $20,000 represents roughly 70 per cent of the fair’s total budget.

The B.C. Gaming Commission must inform the Summer-land Fall Fair board of the status of the request by the end of May.

The fair has been held for the past 105 years, on the week-end following the Labour Day week-end.

“We don’t want to end up in this same situation again.”

The Okanagan Skaha School District is cutting $1.1 million from its budget for this year, but board chair Linda Van Alphen said efforts are being made to minimize the impact of the cuts.

She said the cuts include $320,000 in administrative sav-ings and $770,000 in other cuts.

The budget was ratified on Monday evening.

Van Alphen said the budget cuts were mandated by the provincial govern-ment.

“This follows what the province wants us to do,” she said.

In Summerland schools, enrolment has been declining.

Van Alphen said

efforts are being made to bring stu-dents from outside the school district, including inter-national students, to the area.

“The more stu-dents we can attract the more money comes to the school district,” she said.

In addition,

the Code 67 pro-gram, which was developed at Sum-merland Second-ary School, has the potential to include students from out-side the school dis-trict.

Van Alphen said changes at the school district also reflect the new B.C. Educa-

tion Plan.“Our education

system is going to

be entirely differ-ent within five to 10 years,” she said.

Estate LitigationIt is a sad sign of the times that Estate litigation is one of the fastest growing areas of law. This is partly due to the vast amount of wealth that the leading edge of the “Baby Boomers” is now transferring through to their offspring in their estates. Where money is involved unfortunately the bad side of human nature can take over. This wrongful behavior can take many forms, from one sibling taking over control of his or her parents affairs by a Power of Attorney and channeling the money to their own benefit to using undue influence to shape their parents Will in their favour.

Equally as important in creating litigation has been the proliferation of second marriages and split families. Each side of the family can have very different legal rights to an estate depending on the circumstances. Great care and consideration must be taken when providing for your children and your spouse’s children. It is critical to seek advice from a Lawyer with training and experience in drafting wills in these circumstances.

VICTORIA – Alber-tans have always laughed about their long-standing repu-tation as a reckless, immature society.

The classic bumper sticker, now available as a T-shirt or coffee cup in several varia-tions, states: “Please God, give us one more oil boom, we promise not to p--- it away this time.”

Now they’ve thrown out the gov-ernment that finally tried to stop blowing money like a rough-neck fresh out of the bush. Jim Prentice had the gall to pro-pose raising income taxes for high wage earners, doing away with former Alberta treasurer Stockwell Day’s signature flat tax.

In response, vot-ers have abruptly replaced the 44-year Progressive Con-servative dynasty with an upstart NDP that wants to tax the rich and corporations even more.

Facing an oil slump, layoffs and a huge structural defi-cit in Alberta’s lavish

public service, NDP premier-elect Rachel Notley is commit-ted to a 50-per-cent increase in the min-imum wage and another “review” of resource royalties.

One headline in a national paper summed it up: “Go home, Alberta. You’re drunk.”

In the sober days after the election, a few truths emerge.

Alberta hasn’t been a fiscally con-servative, small-gov-ernment place for a long time.

Among other things, it has ratch-eted up teacher and nurse wages across the country.

Alberta is broke,

again, and even the NDP is afraid to resort to a sales tax.

The minimum wage hike is a pet policy of Canada’s labour federations, which somehow remain convinced that poverty can be eliminated by state order.

On the positive side, Notley has promised to end cor-porate and union donations to political parties, as has already been done federally. B.C. should be next, but the gravy train of business donations is too tempting for our nominally Liberal government.

Here at the B.C. legislature, an NDP staffer passed out cans of Orange Crush to celebrate. NDP leader John Horgan pronounced himself “ecstatic,” and hast-ened to assure repor-ters that Notley is “as competent as she sounds.”

Notley now has to sort through a caucus that includes typical NDP place-holders, college students and union staff run-

ning in faint-hope constituencies. Soon after the result, the party pulled down its website platform and candidate biograph-ies, as Notley began phoning energy com-panies to reassure them Alberta will be “A-OK” on her watch.

Horgan likes to describe the “cap-ital flight” from new NDP governments as if it’s just a show put on by big business.

Plummeting stock prices and relocation of corporate offices are all staged, accord-ing to the party line, nothing to do with actual investment conditions created by NDP policies.

This fiction is all Horgan dares to say publicly, because it’s what his party base devoutly believes.

Besides, they’re only branch offices of multinational oil companies like Shell, Horgan said.

He used his favour-ite Tommy Douglas quote, about the bad news of a big oil com-pany leaving.

“The good news

is, the oil is staying here.”

B.C.’s natural gas might be staying here too.

Horgan insists he supports a natural gas export industry, but his party seems more concerned with an ascending Green Party, and an urban base that believes you can run a resource economy on wind-mills and solar pan-els.

Notley supports twinning the Trans-Mountain pipeline, while Horgan con-tinues to insist he has no opinion on the project Adrian Dix so memorably opposed.

The Alberta NDP has a steep learning curve ahead.

The B.C. NDP has a couple of years to see if the appear-ance of a like-minded Alberta government is a boost for them, or a cautionary tale for voters.

YOUR VIEWS

For the past 105 years, the Summerland Fall Fair has been an important commun-ity celebration of harvest.

The fair, held each year in September, features locally grown fruits and vege-tables, flowers, handcrafts and much more.

Earlier this year, there were some ques-tions about whether the fair would be able to proceed this year with uncertain fund-ing and a small board of directors.

Since that time, the organizers have decided to proceed with a streamlined version of the fair, even though the fund-ing has not yet been announced.

The board’s efforts are impressive. Arranging the details for the fair will take considerable planning and work from the volunteer members.

While organizing this year’s fair will require much hard work, the bigger chal-lenge is the continued future of the fair.

If the fair is to continue as a viable and vibrant part of Summerland’s commun-ity celebrations, a long-term strategy is needed.

Over the past 10 to 15 years, fair board members have put out calls for volunteers to help with the various facets of organ-izing the weekend event.

The biggest community events each year — the Summerland Action Festival and the Festival of Lights — have dedi-cated volunteers, including many who have been involved for years.

The same level of long-term dedica-tion is needed for any other special event. One person alone or even a small team of organizers will struggle to take care of all the necessary details.

If the fall fair is to continue in the years to come, a similar team of committed vol-unteers will be needed, along with others who are able to move into key roles in the future.

Without such a base, the same strug-gles affecting the fair this year will con-tinue to recur.

The efforts to organize this year’s fair are impressive, but without adding a long-term strategy, the future of the fall fair will remain tenuous at best.

Dear Editor:Re: Privatization of

Summerland’s Elec-trical Distribution System

Hidden on page 70 (of 134) in Summer-land Council’s March 23 agenda was the following paragraph:

“The District wants

to explore the impact of selling the electric-al utility. In 2014, the District met with For-tisBC to determine... their interest to pur-chase the utility”.

Who originated the idea to privatize our electrical utility? One can only hope it is part

of a checklist to be stricken off, to prove due diligence and not actually the plan of current council.

Privatization in Canada is irrevers-ible. Once sold, we would never be able to regain control of our electrical system.

We would be sell-ing our grandchil-dren’s opportunity to pursue alternative energy options since Fortis’s responsibility is to increase share-holder value only and turn a healthy profit at user’s expense.

We enjoy an

extremely committed workforce at the elec-trical utility.

Their response-time for repairs and dedication shown during the recent power surge would not likely be matched by Fortis crews based outside of town.

Fortis did not even have the courtesy to participate in public reviews of last Nov-ember’s power surge incident.

One of the ploys for privatization is to neglect maintenance and argue that the need for upgrading

infrastructure and the associated costs are too great for the pub-lic to afford. Is Sum-merland going down this path?

Summer landers know the planet is in trouble and one of the important places to start combating cli-mate change is with our energy sources.

P r i v a t i z a t i o n would result in Sum-merland losing its independence to pur-chase ‘green’ energy from companies that create wind or solar energy.

We would lose our ability to even explore alternative sources of energy —sources that would be a lot cheaper than hydro electricity.

The majority on our new council were elected by voters who were hopeful that decisions would now be made for the bene-fit of taxpayers in an open and transparent manner.

This decision, not so much.

Fill ’er upIn 1964, Powell Beach Service in Trout Creek had their own version of a convenience store. Customers could pick up groceries or shop for a motorcycle while their car was being filled by the gas station attendant who would also check the oil and wash the windows. The price at the pump was around 55 cents per gallon (if my calculations are correct that’s about 15 cents a litre.) It’s enough to make even someone who’s too young to remember yearn for the “good ol’ days.”

Privatization will be irreversible

Dear Editor:I would like to

add something to the excellent article regarding emergency planning.

Many of us have pets and they should be included in all your emergency plans. It is recommended that each pet have its own grab and go bag con-taining contact infor-mation for your vet, a list of and a three-day supply of medica-tions, water and food dishes, and a three-day supply of food and bottled water. An extra leash and collar would come in

handy. I would also recommend the tat-too information that your vet places in their ear or on their tummy.

You should always take your pets with you. Don’t let any-one convince you that you should leave them behind.

Depending on the emergency you may be out of your home for weeks.

If you are referred to an Emergency Reception Centre many will take in your pets either on site or foster them out.

Arrange with a

neighbour to pick up your furry pals if you can’t get home.

For more info look up CDART online.

Many helped with training session

Dear Editor:Board members, staff and

volunteers at the Summerland Food Bank and Resource Centre are mourning the loss of long-time volunteer Janice Klym who passed away on April 27

in hospice care. Janice’s life was filled with challenges that she worked so hard to overcome while advocating strongly for others in similar circumstances.

Until illness overtook her disability Janice kept our food

bank warehouse in order, sort-ing hundreds of items by best-before and expiry dates and helping in many other ways.

Business leaders in Summer-land may remember Janice’s fundraising drive to establish

a community garden that still operates at the Summerland Alliance Church.

We will miss Janice’s lively conversation, her honesty, her commitment to making a better life for people on the fringes of

poverty and her help in mak-ing all of our work at the Food Bank a little easier.

Turn to look behind you and see two more people in the boat, the out-board wake behind them.

Look up and see trees reaching to the sky and raindrops falling on B.C.’s Central Coast near Nimmo Bay. A float-ing wilderness lodge with Adirondack chairs and a crackling firepit await your return.

The Wild Within, a virtual reality experi-ence produced by Destination B.C. is the first for North American destination marketing.

Its December launch in New York and Washington was covered by 94 media outlets including National Geographic, USA Today, Time, Outside, Lonely Plan-et, Wall Street Jour-nal, Wired and Ad Week magazine.

The video is experienced with vir-tual reality goggles and a stereo headset, a system developed by Samsung.

Summerland Review Thursday, May 14, 2015 L i f e s t y L e www.summerlandreview.com 7

A Castlegar speak-er will explain the dangers and risks of radon at a public information session on May 14.

Dana Schmidt will talk about the effects of radon at Summer-land Timbermart on May 14 at 3 p.m.

The session is host-ed by Timbermart and the municipality.

The gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer, behind smoking.

Robert Cook, a building official with the municipal-ity, said radon levels in Summerland are lower than elsewhere in the province, “but there are pockets of radon around the District of Summer-

land,” he said.Higher levels of

radon have been observed where uranium deposits are located.

In and around Summerland, radon has been detected in Faulder, the Dale Meadows area and the Sumac Ridge area. However, even within these areas,

the levels recorded on one property may be significantly higher or lower than on an adjacent prop-erty.

Cook said it is pos-sible to deal with high radon levels by putting a pipe under the foundation of a home.

Those who have concerns about radon

levels in their homes may have testing done.

The testing

involves a unit which resembles a hockey puck, placed in the basement for three to

six months. “The only way to

identify a problem is to test,” Cook said.

Radon information will be presented

Inspired by steamSummerland artist Marcia Stacy shows a steampunk doll, one of the pieces on display at the Summerland Art Gallery. The exhibit, which opened on Thursday, is a celebration of 100 years of the Kettle Valley Steam Railway. It features works by a number of local artists.

As the snow in the moun-tains continues to melt, the municipality’s reservoirs are close to spilling.

“Everything is just about

full,” said Shawn Hughes, water distribution chief oper-ator for the municipality.

He said much of the winter snow pack has melted, but

there is still some snow left at higher elevations. The water from melting snow fills the reservoirs which supply Sum-merland with water.

In Summerland, the district contracts business retention, expansion and attrac-tion, which form much of the econom-ic development port-folio, to the chamber.

In the past two years we’ve worked hard to revitalize the outward facing pro-motional products for Summerland.

We’ve redesigned visitor publications, created a new stand alone tourism web-site, new invest-ment advertising, a comprehensive on-line investment and relocation guide, and a growing library of economic develop-ment videos.

We also want to keep in mind research that shows that up to 75 per cent of the economic impact in a community comes from business, so retaining our existing businesses and help-ing them grow is top

of mind. The best way to

learn what our busi-ness members need to prosper is to ask them.

This year the chamber will host a number of gatherings to engage specific sec-tors of our business community through targeted meetings.

We want to under-stand their key issues and advocate on their behalf locally and provincially.

In the fall, chambers of commerce and their municipal govern-ments in the Okanag-an will also participate in business walks to learn more about our businesses through face-to-face interviews on their turf.

On a regional basis the chamber part-ners with other South Okanagan commun-ities to enhance the business climate.

Projects range from succession plan-ning and success-

ful business sales to making sure our business people have what they need to be successful in their markets, whether that’s improved air-port connections or attracting skilled labour. Partner-ships and marketing are areas where the chamber is resourced to be effective.

There are other ele-ments of economic development that involve our entire community and muni-cipal leadership. One the chamber is sug-gesting is improving biking infrastructure.

As a community we can enhance trails, signage, amenities and bike supports and encourage busi-ness opportunities in this area. Many com-munity groups and the municipality are exploring ways to make this happen. In nearby Washing-ton, biking is a $3.5

billion industry with the majority going to overnight visits.

Another area for the community to consider is cultural tourism. Culture and economic develop-ment are closely tied in thriving commun-ities.

One option is activ-ity based. Many tour-ists are now focused on multi-day experi-ence-related activities where they can par-ticipate in the event and then take in other cultural activities

and attractions to round out their trip. We encourage the community to grow events that already exist in the commun-ity, have the capacity to fill shoulder sea-sons as well as attract regional and national sponsors and have a lengthy history in Summerland. We have a few that meet these criteria.

Economic develop-ment is multi faceted and requires all of us to participate to move our community for-ward.

It’s a big task, but working together, it can be accomplished.

We appreciate your feedback. Contact me at [email protected] or our chamber presi-dent, Kelly Marshall, at [email protected].

Christine Petkau is the manager of the Summerland Cham-ber of Commerce.

Carla McLeodSpecial to the

Review

It appears that the old adage, “two heads are better than one,” can apply to organizations as well as individuals.

The Summerland Museum and Herit-age Society has joined forces with Quest, Summerland Society for Hearing Enhance-ment in order to fund-raise. A fashion show, tea and silent auction are being planned.

“We have so many clothes,” said Andrea Sanders, administra-tor for the museum. “That is why we thought of a fashion show. We wanted people to actually get to see the clothes, because we just don’t have the space to dis-play them.”

Although the museum had started to entertain the idea of a fashion show and tea as a fundraiser, it wasn’t until the members of Quest got involved that it really took off.

“We said maybe it was something we could collaborate on,” said Maureen Dow-ney. “Quest has actual-ly done fashion shows in the past. We know that aspect of it.”

“It’s good that it has gotten a lot big-ger than we initially planned,” explained Sanders. “They added in a silent auc-tion and lots of local businesses have been really generous. It is nice that we are going to have that.”

Ruth ten Veen is the archivist/acquisi-tions registrar for the museum. Her focus is on the clothing itself.

“It’s a colossal amount of work,” she

said. “We have to be very careful with our artifacts. I will take the clothes because a lot of them have to be handled very care-fully because they are so fragile.”

The show is called Fashions of a Cen-tury. Clothes mod-elled will be from the 20th century, with at least two outfits from each decade spanning 1900 to the 1990s.

Modelling the clothes will be Sum-

merland’s reigning Royalty and the Blos-som Pageant candi-dates from 2014.

Fashion designer Susan Lopateki will be the commentator.

The models will be fitted with their outfits ahead of time and each outfit will have the appropriate shoes and jewelry to be worn with it. This was proving to be a challenge, ten Veen explained, due to the fact that in the early

1900s people were much smaller than today. “They were a tiny foot size and waist size,” she said.

Most of the clothes that will be modelled have been donated to the museum by Sum-merland residents.

Over the years Betty Raymond has kept an eye out for vintage clothing while volunteering at the Thrift Shop and these items have been given to the museum

as well.“I think young

people will be very interested in seeing some of the things their parents and grandparents wore,” said ten Veen. “I think it will bring back a lot of memories for those who are middle aged. There will be lots of fashion from the 50s, 60s and 70s that we wore and remember. It’s going to be a lot of fun to see them again.”

Members from

both organizations are volunteering their time for the planning and setting up of the event. There will be tea, coffee, fruit, cheese and goodies that they have donat-ed and that will be served throughout the show. “The silent auc-tion is going to have some really beautiful things,” said Downey.

All of the funds raised will be split equally between the two organizations.

“The money we raise from it will help to look after and pre-serve Summerland’s history,” said ten Veen.

Quest’s mandate is to improve the lives of the deaf, hard of hearing and speech impaired and to assist adults and children in need. “All the money raised will go straight back out into the com-munity,” said Downey.

If you would like to support these two organizations, tickets for Fashions of a Cen-tury can be purchased at Sass, The Beanery and the Museum. The show will be held Sunday, May 24, at the Harold Simpson Memorial Youth Cen-tre on Peach Orchard Road, in Summer-land. Doors open at 1:30 p.m.

Fashion show features historic styles

Examining fashions Ruth ten Veen, left, archivist for the museum, Maureen Downey, Quest member, Miss Summerland Erin Sorensen, Summer-land Princess Emma Thomson and museum administrator Andrea Sanders help the models pick out which outfits they will be wearing for an upcoming fashion show.

It’s only three weeks until one of the largest community events of the year, the Giant’s Head Run.

On Saturday, June 6, competitors of all ages and abilities will be racing in either a 5.4-kilometre, 10-kilo-metre or Man of Steel Triathlon.

It’s always a high-light of the Action Festival weekend.

This year all five Summerland schools have a principal or vice-principal head-lining our race. They are Sheena Fowlie, principal of Sum-merland Montessori

School; Darcy Mullin, principal of Giant’s Head Elementary; Jeff Redden, principal of Trout Creek Ele-mentary; Darryl Ten-isci, vice-principal of Summerland Middle School and Chris Van Bergeyk, principal of Summerland Second-ary School.

All Summerland schools are very supportive of creat-ing and promoting a healthy environment and levels of physic-al activity for their students — so much so that they are get-ting themselves ready for the race in

the hopes to inspire their community and students.

Our principals as everyday people, struggle with work life balance, trying to find time to work out and making activity a part of everyday family life.

“I have been strug-gling with a knee injury, so my plan is to walk/run the race. I will participate in our school wide runs and I also am working on my cardio by riding my bike three to four times a week. My goal for the race is to beat Mr. Tenisci and Mr. Van Ber-geyk. It sounds like Ms. Fowlie is training hard and it is clear after last year that Mr. Redden is too fast for me,” said Darcy Mullin, Giant’s Head Elementary.

“I am going to be training two mor-nings a week with the school’s running club. I think doing something like this is great and makes more people aware of the different activ-ities that are part of Action Fest. Also, I am hoping to encour-age some of my stu-dents to run with me. If I can do it, they can do it,” said Sheena Fowlie, Summerland Montessori School.

“My goal is to encourage as many Trout Creek stu-dents and families to participate in this year’s Giant’s Head Run. I hope to be

able to run the entire race and keep ahead of the other Sum-merland principals and vice-principals. I definitely have slipped in my train-ing regime this year. I continue to run with the Trout Creek stu-dents as part of our school-wide running program and hope-fully will increase my individual runs in the evenings and on the weekends,” said Jeff Redden, Trout Creek Elementary.

“I am in train-

ing to hike the West Coast Trail in July and this event is a great addition to my fitness plan. My goal is to run the entire race and include my family in the festiv-ities. I know all the other principals are training hard and will bring their ‘A’ game so I hopefully I can keep up to them. Action fest is a great weekend and I am looking forward to it,” said Darryl Ten-isci, Summerland Middle School.

A little bit of friendly rivalry can be great motivation. Cheer them on as they cross the finish line June 6.

This past weekend Summerland Minor Softball hosted its Mothers Day tourna-ment for the U14 and U19 divisions.

There were 15 teams in attendance from as far away as Red Deer, Alta., Ridge Meadows, Fleetwood, North Surrey, Mission and South Delta from the Fraser Valley.

Okanagan teams also participated with our local U14 team coached by Tyler Chick and our U19 team coached by Juanita Kruger.

The weather was warm and sunny, perfect for a weekend of softball.

For the U19 the gold medals went to Red Deer, the silver to Chilliwack and the bronze to Kelow-na. Westside placed fourth.

For the U14s, the gold medals went to Fleetwood, silver to Kelowna and the bronze to Westside.

The Summerland U14s placed fourth.

S u m m e r l a n d Minor Softball would like to thank Carol Van Balkom for her longevity of leader-ship.

She has lead the way in Summerland for the past 20 years.

The organizers would also like to thank Lindsea Cutt

for organizing our tournaments this year, and our many volunteers including Darryn and Diane McCullough, Dave and Heather Mar-tin, Mike Wright, Mae Kruger, Joe Cutt, Tom Nelson, Rachelle Yeoman, umpires and all the parent helpers.

S u m m e r l a n d Minor Softball will host a one-day U10 event on May 30 at Dale Meadows as well. Come out to cheer on the young players.

The league’s next big event will be the Senior Ladies and Junior C Provincials July 24 to 26.

GARY DONALD ROLSTON Born September 2nd, 1956 Oliver, BC

Passed away April 24th, 2015Gary was the third of twelve children born to Therese and Dave Rolston of Summerland, BC. He was raised as a farm boy through and through and continued his passion for agriculture into his professional life. In 1986 he moved to the Comox Valley with his first wife Deb, and their children Erik, Abby and Jodi who made themselves at home immediately. He worked tirelessly on his own career, as well as volunteering for numerous boards and committees advocating for local agriculture. He was always known to bring a smile and a bad sense of humor wherever he went and made certain that those around him also had something to laugh at. In September of 2013, Gary married his childhood crush Joan who brought out a happiness in him that had never been seen before. With that happiness he fought one hell of a fight against cancer and will be forever remembered by all that loved, worked, and played with him. Gary was predeceased by his marvelous mother Therese and brother Steven. He sadly leaves behind his wife Joan, children Erik, Abby, Jodi (Tyler) and grandbuddy Edgar, his fantastic father, Dave, and siblings, Grant (Lauralee), Rick (Marcie), Judy (Chris) Barb (Doug), Kevin, Terry (Colleen), Rob (Cheryl), Ken (Karen) Ryan (Jen), Andrew (Korrie), as well as many nieces and nephews, and honorary brothers: Hugh (Chris), Bruce (Lori), all the floor hockey guys, work colleagues and friends along the way.

A celebration of life will be held at the Summerland Rodeo Grounds on May 30th from 1pm to 4pm and

the family requests that donations be made to the Young Agrarians in lieu of flowers.

Summerland sop-rano Tracy Fehr and studio singers will present a benefit con-cert in Summerland this weekend.

The concert, Voices in Song: A Song For Hope, will be held Sunday, May 17 beginning at 7 p.m. at Lakeside Presby-terian Church, 5505 Butler Ave.

In March, Fehr vis-ited and performed in Tunisia, just days after the terrorist attack at the Bardo Museum in Tunis.

The attack left 21 tourists killed and many injured.

This was Fehr’s fourth visit to Tuni-sia with A Song For Hope benefit tours.

The tours raise funds for disadvan-taged women. “Every-where I went Tuni-sians thanked me for coming in spite of the tragic events,” Fehr said. “It showed Tuni-sians that Canadians care — that I care deeply for the women of that country.”

Fehr’s main bene-fit concert was held at the palatial British ambassador’s resi-dence overlooking the Mediterranean

Sea. It was co-hosted by the British and Canadian ambassa-dors.

She was joined by the Tunisian concert pianist Mehdi Trabel-si as well as the popu-lar our player, Riadh Fehri, who composed a piece in the trad-itional Arabic style, Sidi Bou Said, for the concert.

Bishop Bill Musk performed on the flute for several Moz-art selections.

A second con-cert was hosted by the International Women’s Group at the Tunisian res-taurant, Fondouk El Attarine within the Tunis Medina.

The IWG presi-dent said this event represented “solidar-ity between women, especially those in need.”

Traveling to the mountainous town of El Kef near the Algerian border, Fehr offered two more concerts sponsored by the Minister of Women, Madame Rajit. The first con-cert in a local theatre drew a mixed crowd of officials, students from the univer-

sity, children, single moms and women who are victims of violence.

Because of the potential risk to for-eigners in this region there was heightened security with police guarding the gates as well as at the theatre doors.

Fehr’s final con-cert was at the El Kef prison for the women inmates who sang and danced to show their appreciation after the concert.

The Association for Cooperation in Tuni-sia, a Swedish Chris-tian development organization, is work-ing with the Ministry of Women and the prison staff in Tuni-sia to teach these women, often vic-tims of violence and poverty, livelihood skills such as sew-ing, embroidery, and jewelry making.

Funds from this tour were raised for ACT’s livelihood project to assist single moms and women at risk receive train-ing and funds to set up small home-based businesses.

This particular initiative was co-

founded by Fehr and ACT in 2008, and has helped many Tuni-sian women make

positive life changes and regain respect within their com-munities.

In addition to tours in North Africa and the United King-dom, Fehr fundraises

for ACT by hosting annual Voices in Song benefit concerts in Penticton.

Last week I attended a very inter-esting Philosophers’ Cafe on Cultural Planning.

Gord Hume, an author, former muni-cipal councillor and, some would say the “guru” of cultural planning in Canada, was the introductory

speaker. After mentioning

that a cultural plan needs a strong eco-nomic foundation Hume mentioned a number of things that help animate a downtown; includ-ing wider sidewalks for pedestrians that help animate a down-

town by encouraging people to socialize outside bistros and coffee shops.

He also mentioned how trees in a down-town can lead to more business and how important it is to animate public spaces.

According to Hume, a Cultural Plan is a holistic pro-cess and is not sim-ply something that deals with art galler-ies and the like. It is part of a package that will improve a com-munity for visitors and residents alike and can have very positive economic impacts.

His comments gen-erated much discus-sion on how festivals, past and present, have impacted Sum-merland and how does one attract young people?

As residents and entrepreneurs, how do you develop more entrepreneurial spir-it?

How can we build a better connection to the waterfront and Lower Town?

How do we take advantage of our local wineries as part

of culture and the economy?

Obviously they are part of both our local culture and our economy, but Gord Hume’s message was, can we do more, and build on the incred-ible asset of these local family wineries? How do we broaden the shoulder season and encourage chefs to use local food and support local agriculture?

There were many ideas put forward from the table discus-sions including:

improved land-scaping, a wine bar/kiosk on Main Street, Wednesdays on the Water, expanding the hiking, biking trails and providing maps, signage for Centre Stage Theatre, down-town signage about the Kettle Valley Steam Railway, how to take advantage of having four ski hills nearby and how to deal with volunteer burnout. (Remember the Taste of Summer-land and other festi-vals that have gone by the wayside?)

Lots of ideas and lots of opportunities. And while we ponder them why not enjoy the talent of our own high school’s Act-ing 12 class as they present “Dating for Dummies” at Centre Stage May 21 to 23.
