flowing as an above average snow pack continues to melt. At present, however, flooding, which is a concern in other parts of the Okanagan Valley, has not been observed in Sum-

merland. Since March, the snow pack levels have been at or above the long-term average levels. At present, the level is 101 per cent of normal at Summerland Reservoir

and 110 per cent of normal at Isintok Lake. At Summerland Reservoir, a snow depth of 377 millimetres was recorded at the beginning of the month. This is the equiva-

lent of 129 millimetres of water. At Isintok Lake, the snow level was 436 millimetres or the equivalent of 150 millimetres of water. See NO Page 3

Watkins named Blossom Queen by Carla McLeod Special to the Review Summerland has a new royal court, with Susan Watkins as Blossom Queen and Alexa Brickenden and Cassidy Clements as princesses. Centre Stage Theatre was buzzing with tension and excitement on the weekend as eight young women took part in the 42nd annual Summerland Blossom Pageant May 4 and 5. Friday night the candidates gave their talent and speech presentations. Saturday night’s program included evening wear, impromptu questions, the award presentations and coronation. Watkins, the new Blossom Queen, talked about her reaction to winning. “Wow, I feel so honored and so surprised. I just hope I do the town proud. I’m so proud of all the candidates and so thankful for all the support.” She added that she hoped to see everyone out at all the events. She represented Zias Stonehouse in the pageant. Brickenden, who was Miss Summerland Skating Club, said, “I feel really happy. I’m so excited that I get to be a princess for the next year.” When asked what she thought the year would bring she replied, “A lot of travel. I think there is going to be a lot of good memories out of this, so I’m really looking forward to it.” Clements was Miss Summerland Legion in the competition. She said, “I’m so excited for the next year with Alexa and Susan and I’m so happy for this opportunity.” When asked if she was surprised that she had won she exclaimed, “Yes, I was absolutely amazed!” Lindsey Jenner, Miss Kiwanis, was named Carla McLeod Special to the Review Miss Congeniality and Michaella Haidenger, A new Blossom Queen Miss Rotary, was voted the People’s Choice.

No flooding seen locally Continued from Page 1

Relay passes through region The 25th anniversary Rick Hansen Relay passed through Summerland and the rest of the Okanagan Valley last week. The relay, which began in St. John’s, Nfld. in late August, is retracing the Canadian portion of the route followed by wheelchair athlete Rick Hansen during his Man In Motion tour 25 years ago.

down.” Crews already have done some sandbagging work near the intake area. If the spring temperature rises gradually, flooding will not be a problem in the area, he said. He added that the cool evenings are keeping the snow pack from melting too quickly.

Recreation director Dale MacDonald, the last of the relay participants in Summerland, said he was carrying the medal in honour of Arlie Young, who had repeatedly asked for better access to buildings in the community. “All of our facilities are now handicap-accessible,” MacDonald said.

Truck dumped Shop Around!

The brakes failed on a dump truck travelling down a steep hill on Gillard Avenue on May 4. The driver steered the truck into a field instead of allowing it to roll on to Dale Meadows Road. A fence was damaged. Police called a commercial vehicle inspector to examine the truck.

Tree smacked A 2002 Chevy Blazer went out of control on Gartrell Road and hit a tree in an orchard the evening of May 1. The driver, a 33-year-old Alberta man, was ticketed for driving without due care and attention.

A medal relay Dale MacDonald, recreation director for Summerland, leads other Summerland medal bearers in the 25th anniversary Rick Hansen Relay. The cross-Canada relay was in Summerland on Wednesday evening. The relay began Aug. 24 in St. John’s, Nfld. and will end in Vancouver on May 22.

Legal services are no different than any other professional services, except that the outcome of a legal problem can have a very profound effect on a person's life. At Bell, Jacoe & Company we encourage people to shop around for their legal services. Ask your friends and neighbours who they use and if they were happy with the results. Does that law firm win the cases they handle? It is one thing to advertise expertise in an area of law and a very different thing to obtain a good result in that matter. Why would a law firm suggest such a thing you ask? The continuing confidence and trust that so many citizens of Summerland and the surrounding area have shown in choosing our firm for their legal needs tells us that we are providing the kind of professional, confidential and considerate legal services that you want. We are proud of our reputation in the community and thankful for your support. We look forward to the challenges that the future will bring and to providing the same expert level of affordable legal services that you have come to expect from Bell, Jacoe & Company.

EDITORIAL

our pick

Removing barriers A quarter century ago, wheelchair athlete Rick Hansen was on his Man In Motion world tour. At that time, providing accessibility for those with disabilities was not as high a priority as today. In the years following, efforts have been made to have wheelchair access to businesses and public buildings, electric assist doors, ramps and elevators and many more services. We have made much progress in assisting those who have disabilities. Many doors are designed for those who would have had problems with them in earlier years. Sidewalks are designed so those in wheelchairs will not have trouble crossing the street. For those with vision or hearing disabilities, efforts have been made to provide the services and features to accommodate them. In the past few years, we have also seen much work done at Agur Lake Camp west of Summerland. The camp is significant since it is being designed to provide barrier-free recreation for those who have disabilities. The work being done at the camp is impressive. As a community and as a society, we have come far since the 1980s and earlier. The difficulties today are not so much in the newer buildings but in older construction. Some have stairs but not elevators. Some have doors which are difficult for those in wheelchairs. Providing the necessary retrofits can be difficult and costly, but it is work which must be considered. In Summerland, we have an aging population, we also have many who have mobility problems or other disabilities. We need to be aware of the barriers which might exist. And we need to continue our already impressive work at removing those barriers.

The candidates in the Summerland Blossom Pageant all worked hard last weekend as they vied for a chance to represent Summerland. In the eyes of their friends, family and the community all of these young women are winners because of the strength and courage they showed in this competition. It is no doubt an experience that will serve them well for the rest of their lives.

Tanker deal sinks to new lows VICTORIA – The B.C. NDP has ramped up its opposition to the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline. First the party formalized objections already expressed by NDP MLAs who have spoken at hearings held by the federal review panel along the B.C. coast. Leader Adrian Dix sent an 11-page letter to the panel, then launched an attack on the B.C. Liberal government in the legislature Tom Fletcher that emphasized the letter’s top objection. Why doesn’t Premier Christy Clark stand up to Ottawa and protest the abandonment of the long-standing “moratorium and exclusion zone” on oil tankers off B.C.’s north coast, Dix and NDP energy critic Rob Fleming demanded. Clark’s answer was the same one given for many years by federal and provincial governments. The 1972 federal “moratorium” was directed at offshore oil drilling, not tankers bound for B.C. A separate Canada-U.S. agreement in 1998 calls for U.S. tankers to avoid B.C.’s Inside Passage as they transport Alaska crude oil to refineries in Washington state and further south. I asked Fleming for documentation that shows tankers are banned from B.C.’s north coast. He said it is “fragmented,” which means he doesn’t have any. Nor does the NDP’s heav-

ily footnoted letter to the federal panel offer any source for this assertion. This argument flared up in 2006 after Methanex Corp. shut down its Kitimat methanol plant. Instead of shipping methanol out, a practice that was never questioned, it started bringing tankers into the Kitimat port loaded with a liquid natural gas by-product called condensate. From there it is sent by rail to Alberta to dilute oil sands crude. This process led to Enbridge’s

This hippy-fantasy tanker moratorium isn’t one of them. Then there is the hypocrisy and pro-U.S. bias that is so clearly evident in the manipulated B.C. debate. The Northern Gateway pipeline would generate as many as 350 tanker trips each year to and from Kitimat. More than twice that many tankers already sail each year through the Strait of Juan de Fuca, past the Gulf and San Juan Islands. Many are heading to refinery

As I’ve mentioned before, there are legitimate arguments against the Northern Gateway proposal. This hippy-fantasy tanker moratorium isn’t one of them. proposed double pipeline that would send condensate east and diluted crude west. The Dogwood Initiative, one of the multiple U.S.-funded groups that now dominate B.C.’s environmental lobby, rose to protest these early condensate shipments, saying they violate a moratorium on tankers. Wrong, said Don Rodden, superintendent of environmental response for the Canadian Coast Guard Pacific Region. The 1972 moratorium “wouldn’t apply to vessels coming into Canadian ports like Kitimat,” Rodden told the Globe and Mail at the time. The Coast Guard would be the agency legally required to enforce such a tanker ban, if one existed. As I’ve mentioned before, there are legitimate arguments against the Northern Gateway proposal.

complexes at March Point and Cherry Point in Washington. These supertankers can be seen sailing past Victoria most days. Strangely, this U.S. crude traffic excites no protests. Where do urban protesters think we get the gasoline and diesel fuel sold at B.C. filling stations? Do they think it’s all made at the little Chevron refinery in Burnaby, the last remnant of refining capacity in southern B.C.? We could use a serious debate about how B.C. handles petroleum. Instead, we see factually inaccurate claims promoted by U.S. interests to attack Canadian crude only. Our opposition politicians and media mostly just go along for the ride.

culls Each summer we notice litter along the highways and along some of the roads in Summerland. While some will deliberately discard litter along the roads, most will not stoop to such measures. In other cases, litter will simply fall out of a messy vehicle when passengers are getting in or out. Whatever the reason, the litter along the roads is an eyesore and detracts from the natural beauty we enjoy. Please take some time to ensure you are not responsible for littering.

Cyclists oppose rumble strips Dear Editor: I am writing in regard to the news article on ICBC funding rumble strips for the section of Highway 97 between Summerland

and Penticton. The B.C. Cycling Coalition has been lobbying for years, and for good reason, against the current designs for highway

rumble strips. Here is a link to their position. It includes attempts to work with the Ministry of Transportation: www.bccc.bc.ca/

rumblestrips.html For their own safety, cyclists should oppose the installation of any further rumble strips unitl the design and installation policy

includes the concerns of the B.C. Cycling Coalition. Any accidents that occur because of the condition of the highway paved shoulder

or highway rumble strips should be reported to the BCCC and the MOT Claims Manager. Don Gemmell Summerland

THE EARLY YEARS

A flock of mothers

Photo courtesy of the Summerland Museum

Mothers’ Day is a time to honour mothers and that’s what this group was doing in 1925. Though the timing was close, these ladies were actually gathered on May 1 to celebrate the birthday of Mrs. Feltham’s mother. Most of the women pictured were, or would become, mothers and as Mothers’ Day has been nationally recognized since 1909, they probably received their share of tributes—a bouquet of wildflowers, a piece of candy or a ribbon bought with saved pennies, or a promise to do extra chores without a complaint. The Summerland Museum wishes all mothers a very Happy Mothers’ Day.

Oil sands contamination has been proven Dear Editor: Re: Environmentalism for dummies (B.C. Views, April 18.) Tom Fletcher

writes: “Diseased fish were displayed, but natural contamination of the Athabasca River was glossed over.”

Thanks for care Dear Editor: The Tumbach family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to all the many relatives, friends, Dr. Wendy Richardson and the staff of the ECU who were supportive and caring for Philip. We are extremely grateful. H. Tumbach Summerland

Fletcher is pushing an argument that was proven wrong in 2010. Several years ago, people downstream from the oilsands plants complained of diseased fish. They also complained of increased cancer rates. People were dying from rare forms of cancer! They blamed both items on pollutants that were put into the Athabasca River

by the oil-sands plants. The oil companies claimed that the pollutants in the river were naturally occurring. The governments of Canada and Alberta supported the companies. In 2010, a study by David Schindler and others proved that the pollution is indeed caused by the oil-sands industry. At first both govern-

ments denied it. But the study was wellfunded, well done and produced results that could stand up in court. Both governments conceded that Schindler was correct! Why was it necessary for private groups to fund that study? Are our governments not responsible for protecting us from pollutants that cause

cancer? Are they not required to protect places such as the Peace Athabasca Delta, and other natural wonders downstream from the oilsands? Why were they so quick to side with the companies, when no such study had been done? What have they done to alleviate the situation? Bill McConnell Surrey

Split favors NDP Dear Editor: The result of two recent provincial byelections has provided a brutal reminder of what happens when B.C.’s free enterprise vote is split: The NDP get elected, and that’s bad news for our economy and for private sector job creation. It isn’t such a big deal during a by-election when nothing is really at stake. But during a general election, those who are bent on splitting the free enterprise vote will accomplish nothing other than the election of an NDP government. The good news for anyone who wants to see a strong private sector economy continuing to flourish in B.C.: John Cummins and his vote-splitting B.C. Con party had a very poor showing in the by-elections and only managed to win third place in a riding considered to be one of the most socially conservative in the province. As many political commentators have noted, if John Cummins and his B.C. Con party can’t win a by-election in the most conservative riding in B.C., and can’t even come in second, then they can’t win in any riding anywhere. I sincerely hope that once this message sinks in with voters, along with the realization that our province’s future depends on having a government capable of keeping BC’s economy strong and resilient, there will be hope that B.C. and our B.C. economy can continue to flourish and prosper well into the future.

School board adopts 2012-13 budget At a public board meeting held Monday the Okanagan Skaha Board of Education approved a preliminary operating budget for the 2012-13 school year. The district faced a $1.8 million shortfall and to balance the budget the board relied on accumulated savings and reserves of $1 million and further budget reductions of approximately $0.8 million.

“Our long-term planning strategy has allowed us to mitigate the effects of a funding shortage; however, reductions to services and programs are still necessary this year,” said Chair Ginny Manning. The board approved the following reductions: ❏ Class composition - 2.08 FTE (fulltime equivalent) teachers and 4.0 FTE certified education

assistants. ❏ Helping teachers - .351 FTE ❏ Autism teacher - .04 FTE ❏ School and district supply, equipment and travel budgets up to 10 per cent ❏ Maintenance $84,000 ❏ Transportation $50,000 ❏ Family life teacher - 0.9 FTE Although elementary enrolment has shown signs of

leveling off, secondary enrolment will continue to decline and the board is expecting a similar funding shortfall in the 2013-14 budget year. Because of the

funding shortfall expected over the next few years, the board will look at revenue generation options. The Board of Education also approved a separate Learning

Improvement Fund (LIF) provided by the Ministry of Education of $692,196. The fund provides additional resources specifically targeted to support challenging learning condi-

tions. The spending plan for the LIF fund is required to be completed by Oct. 31, 2012 and will be focused on teachers, support staff and other resources.

B.C. apologizes for Japanese internment by Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA – Toshio Suzuki postponed a cancer treatment to be at the B.C. legislature Monday, to witness a formal apology for the province’s role in the internment of Japanese Canadians during World War II. Suzuki was seven years old in the spring of 1942 when he an his family were ordered off their 16-acre strawberry farm in Pitt Meadows and put on a train at Port Hammond. Along with his parents and two older

siblings, he worked in the sugar beet fields of Manitoba until six years after the end of the conflict. “The timing is perfect today, because it is the 70th anniversary of the internment,” Suzuki said as he joined other former internees at a reception at the legislature Monday. “It’s also the 30th anniversary of when the constitution was repatriated back to Canada, which includes the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Those two, for me, kind of tie it all together.”

As with the assets of other JapaneseCanadians, the Suzuki family farm was sold off and the proceeds went towards the cost of internment camps in the Kootenays and elsewhere. Advanced Education Minister Naomi Yamamoto introduced a motion to apologize Monday, with unanimous support. Yamamoto told the legislature how her father was removed from high school in Vancouver and interned along with 21,000 Canadians of Japanese descent, 14,000 of

whom were born in Canada. Yamamoto said a B.C. government delegation went to Ottawa after Japan’s entry into the war, urging internment of Japanese-Canadian men of military age and seizure of their fishing boats. “The RCMP and senior officials within Canada’s military opposed these re c o m m e n d a t i o n s and argued that

Japanese-Canadians did not pose a threat to national security,” Yamamoto said. “In spite of this, the B.C. delegation insisted upon the removal of all Japanese Canadians from the Pacific coast and threatened noncooperation if the federal government did not heed their demands.” Men were separated from their families and put on work

crews for farming or building roads and railways. Women, children and seniors were sent to camps in the B.C. Interior, including Greenwood, Sandon, New Denver and Slocan in the Kootenays. After the war ended, Japanese Canadians were offered a choice to settle east of the Rocky Mountains or be deported back to Japan. The right to live on

the West Coast and vote in Canadian elections was restored to them in 1949. In 1988 the federal government made a formal apology and provided a $300 million compensation package, including $21,000 for each of the 13,000 survivors, $12 million for a Japanese community fund and $24 million to set up the Canadian Race Relations Foundation.

To achieve this, the RGS identifies goals across the region in an effort to meet common social, economic and environmental objectives. As a requirement of the RGS implementation, each member municipality must put in place a Regional Context Statement (RCS) for its Official Community Plan (OCP).

Talent show raises $3,000 Money provides relief for Haiti The 10th annual Free the Children Talent Show Wednesday at Centre Stage Theatre raised $2,900, and the sale of leftover baked goods at school on Monday put the total up to $3,000 for relief in Haiti. The show was started by Summerland Secondary School graduate Lindsey Richardson when she was in Grade 5. The show was organized and

coordinated entirely by students from the Senior Leadership Class and the Me to We Club which is a social justice club at the high school. The students this week had a video conference with the founder of Free The Children, Craig Kielberger. They asked him questions and heard about how things are in Haiti. The students recently contributed $8,500 to build a school in Haiti. The proceeds from this year’s talent show will go toward

supporting the school and orphanage there through Free the Children’s Adopt a Village Program. Kielberger told the students their hard work is appreciated in helping the people of Haiti and letting them know they have not been forgotten. After attending We Day and participating in fair trade programs the students are inspired to identify needs within their own community as well as abroad. The Me to We club has been active in fundraising and helping out with many organizations including breast cancer research, the Gleaners, World Vision, Summerland Food Bank, Penticton Homeless, Girl Effect, the SSS breakfast program and more recently, an orphanage in Arusha, Tanzania.

Rebecca Fafard made a presentation to the eldest male and female, long time residents of Summerland at the Rotary Pioneer Tea on Saturday. Two siblings shared this honour. They are Carl Littau, left, 96 years and Hedy Radomske, right, 95 years. With them is their younger sister LeEtta Felker, centre. The Littau family came to Summerland in 1943. J.G. Littau had one of the first vineyards in the area, and remnants of his old grape plants can still be seen rambling along the banks of Canyon View Road.

Bead Trails business expanding by John Arendt The trail of beads is growing longer as Karen Griggs’ Bead Trails business is expanding in the Okanagan Valley. Two years ago, Griggs started her Bead Trails business with the collectible beads available at eight locations in Summerland. By the end of the first year, she had beads available at 15 locations. Over the past year, the popularity of the beads has grown and she now has beads at 52 locations. In addition, she has been creating the beads for fundraising projects. This year, Griggs is expanding the business to Penticton and Naramata and is looking at expanding to

Okanagan Falls and West Kelowna. She has also been contacted by some in Osoyoos and Castlegar who would like Bead Trails in their communities as well. To cope with the growing demand, Griggs will be hiring an intern for 12 weeks this summer, with funding through Community Futures. She will also hire a permanent part-time worker to assist with the work. On Saturday, she will launch Peach City Bead Trails in Penticton. Because the business is growing, she has trademarked the Bead Trails name and is considering setting up franchises in the future. “This is going to be a big growth year,” she said.

FEATURING… PHONAK

Ouch! I play hockey and know how frustrating it would be if I would break off a tooth during a game. The options you were most likely given for a missing front tooth were 1) an implant; 2) a bridge; 3) a removable partial denture; 4) no replacement. Option 3 and 4 are not ideal for most of my patients. With a bridge (option 2), we would have to take away tooth structure from both of the teeth next to the “gap” and use those teeth to suspend a tooth to close the space. When the teeth on either side need structural support because of large fillings, a bridge is a good option but often it increases your risk for problems in the future. Most bridge work will need to be replaced 2 or 3 times in your life time which is a lot of dental work! A dental implant is a metal root replacement. An implant is placed in an opening that we make in the bone under your gums. After the implant integrates or attaches to your bone, it acts like a new “root.” In your situation, with just one missing tooth, we would secure a single crown (which looks like your natural tooth) on your implant. Most of my patients would wear a removable partial denture for about 6 months while the implant is healing so that they would not have to be without their front tooth. From start to finish, the implant process takes about 6-9 months. Dental implants are so natural-looking and feeling, you may forget you ever lost a tooth. Your confidence about your teeth affects how you feel about yourself, both personally and professionally. If you are missing one or more teeth and would like to smile, speak and eat again with comfort and confidence, they are a terrific option! Dental implants support teeth that can look and feel just like your own. Under proper conditions and with diligent maintenance, implants can last a lifetime. If you would like Dr Melashenko to answer your dental question, email her at drcindee@ goldenpeach.net or send it via FACEBOOK under Jubilee Dental Centre.

Same job, but different technique by Rick Cogbill Special to the Review Building with concrete is nothing new for Mozambique; in fact, it’s a matter of necessity. Although local hardwoods abound (huge logging trucks rumble by on the highway, their cargo headed for China and beyond,) the reality is that termites will make short work of any wood product in no time. If you want

something to last here, steel, stone, or cement are your only viable options. So while pouring a cement floor is a common event for our Mozambican workers, the methods they use differ greatly from those we use in Canada. Sand is dug out of a river bank by hand and then loaded into a three-tonne truck before being offloaded by hand at the building site. With no gravel

crushing plants nearby, all the stone is broken off by fire and hammer, and again loaded into the truck by hand. On the day of the pour, there are no redi-mix trucks to call, so all the mixing is done with a gasoline-powered cement mixer, with each load then wheel-barrowed to the pour site where the mixture is handtroweled roughly into place. The final finish comes later, when

a thin ‘top mix’ is applied to make everything look nice and smooth. But since our project is a vehicle maintenance shop, a thin top coat won’t do. The floors must be strong enough to withstand the demands of heavy vehicles resting on jacks and stands, and yet smooth enough to roll equipment around on. What is needed is a different way of pouring the floor, a way to create a strong floor with a smooth finish all in one go. It’s something we take for granted in Canada, but is totally new for the African bush. Fortunately for Mercy Tech Mission, Summerlander John Topham has joined me for the month of May. As a representative of the Summerland Rotary Club, Topham is here to teach woodworking skills to the local men, as well as assist with other building and maintenance projects that arise. Using our combined skills and

experience, we teach the local tradesmen a new technique for pouring a thick, smooth, and level concrete floor, using a simple leveling device called a screed. Peter, our mason, is very impressed with the results, and he and his crew have taken immense pride in the finished product. It is literally the most level floor he has ever poured in his life. But although a

strong, smooth floor was our primary objective, the bigger picture was the gaining of knowledge, the ability to envision if not a better, at least a different way of doing things. Breaking out of tradition is difficult, especially here in Africa where tradition is everything. Where this new knowledge will lead is not totally known right now, but one thing’s for sure — it’s a step forward. The work of Mercy

Tech Mission (and now the Summerland Rotary Club) at the SAMM mission base in Mozambique is to help pass on the knowledge and experience that we have in a way that will bring about meaningful change. As always, we continue towards our goal of changing lives, one skill at a time. Mercy Tech Mission’s blog is available at www.mydustyshoes.blogspot.com.

Railway to begin season on weekend by John Arendt The Kettle Valley Steam Railway will begin its 2012 season this weekend, a little earlier than usual, but the 100-year-old steam locomotive might not be in place for the first rides of the season. Jo Ann Reynolds, marketing manager for the railway, said workers at the railway are refitting the boiler tubes on the 1912 locomotive. The last time the tubes were serviced was in 1994. The work is a two-month job. The engine had to be dismantled so the tubes and flues could be removed, cleaned and inspected. Crews also checked to ensure there were no cracks. While they hope to have it ready in time for the weekend rides, Reynolds said the diesel engine will be used if the steam engine is not available. “We’ve worked on the diesel to make her go a little faster,” Reynolds said. Reynolds said the weekend and the railway season will be busy. On Saturday, the train will have rides at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. There will be hot dogs by donation at noon. On Sunday, the railway will operate Mother’s Day trains

at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Last year, the train saw more than 28,000 passengers. Reynolds said another railway coach would help to accom-

modate the passengers. At present, the train is filling quickly and some of the August train robbery dates are already filling up. When the train ser-

vice begins on this weekend, the train will operate on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Beginning June 14, the train will operate five days a week,

with trains at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. “The heritage value of this place is amazing,” Reynolds said. “We’re glad to be the stewards of it.” The train began

operating in the fall of 1995 and is one of only a few steam trains operating anywhere in Canada and the United States. The railway has some work planned

for this year. The roof of the picnic shelter at the station will be extended this year. The work is expected to be completed within the next month.

Canadians are living longer and costs for the Old Age Security (OAS) are rising. On April 1, 2023 the Government of Canada plans to start raising the age of eligibility for OAS and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) from 65 to 67.*

Students win prizes through poster contest

Reading together Volunteer tutor Pixie Marriot and Morgan Gove play a word game to end their reading session with the One to One Program at Giant’s Head Elementary School.

Students at Giant’s Head School received prizes for railway safety posters. The B.C. Safety Authority and the railway sponsored a railway safety contest earlier this year. Students submitted 180 poster designs. “We are pleased with the number of entries and are confident that the lessons learned by students participating in the poster contest will help keep them safe around railway tracks,” said Eric Samuelson, BCSA’s railway provincial safety manager. “It is important that children are made aware of the hazards around railway tracks. Hopefully, they will share this message with other members of their family.” The Kettle Valley Steam Railway has 16 kilometres of track. The British Colum-

Play looks at war hero The Cannery Stage, normally the home of Many Hats Theatre Company productions, will host five performances of the multi-award winning play, Padre X. Padre X is the amazing true story of John Weir Foote, the only Canadian Army chaplain to win the Victoria Cross for valour during World War II. The play begins in 1948 at a train station in Ontario. While waiting for a delayed train, Foote recalls his years in the army, his experiences at Dieppe, and the three years he spent as a prisoner of war. This is a remarkable story of an extraordinary man. Padre X has been a hit on the Canadian

Fringe Festival circuit and has received awards for Best of the Fest (Winnipeg 2010) and Outstanding Drama (Ottawa 2011.) Padre X was also nominated by the Manitoba Association of Playwrights as best new Manitoba play in 2010. Padre X is written and performed by Marc Moir. The Winnipeg Free Press stated “Moir’s tearful, silent salute at the end of the story may be the single most striking moment of acting you’ll see this year.” Padre X will be live on The Cannery Stage, in The Cannery Trade Centre, 1475 Fairview Road, Penticton May 10, 11, 12, and 13. Curtain is 8 p.m. each day with

a matinee at 2 p.m. Saturday May 12. Tickets may be purchased at the Opus Cafe Bistro 301-1475 Fairview Road right next door to the the-

atre. Ticket includes a 10 per cent off coupon for pre-theatre lunch or dinner at Opus. For reservations call 778476-5856.

Summerland Review Thursday, May 10, 2012

Rec accessibility Arlie Young legacy I just had the honour and privilege to participate in the 25th Anniversary of the Rick Hansen’s Man in Motion Tour that came through Summerland last week. Rick Hansen’s journey changed the way we looked at our Parks and Recreation facilities especially here in Summerland. When I carried the medal into the more than 700 people waiting at Dale Meadows,

it brought back memories of an amazing Arlie Young. Arlie was a true difference maker here in Summerland. Even though confined to a wheelchair for much of his adult life it did not stop him from anything. He was a great Dad and who can forget his daughters growing up being wheeled around on his electric wheelchair? Many times he

LEISURE TIMES

Dale MacDonald mentioned how Summerland’s great Recope program was

a big part of extending his life. He was their treasurer and on their board for more than 16 years. But in addition to Arlie being a very good friend, he became our Parks and Recreation Department advisor in making our facilities accessible, especially at the Aquatic Centre. A big deal was made about the new handicapped accessible doors installed at the

pool in the early 90’s. I remember Arlie coming into my office as the doors were being installed and wanting to show me something. He proceeded to show me that even with the new doors he couldn’t open them. After a heated argument with the handicapped doors company we finally added a large plate (that are now standard,) instead of a small button. Without

Arlie’s expertise we would have reopened the Aquatic Centre but not achieved our goal which was total accessibility. Today we still use the plate recommended by Arlie. Arlie continued to advise our department on all accessibility issues until his passing a few years ago. Arlie was a true difference maker and he will never be forgotten as his leg-

acy lives on. Even as we speak the new playground being installed at Dale Meadows Park will have many accessible components so it can be used by everyone. Dale MacDonald has been Summerland’s Director of Parks and Recreation for the last 22 years and in his sporting past has won provincial championships in four different sports.

Athletic overseer planned

A fastball break Cassidy McCullough, Dayvi Nelson and Hannah Wright were among the Summerland players during a girls’ fastball tournament in Summerland on the weekend.

Teams from two provinces at girls’ fastball tournament Summerland hosted a girls’ fastball tournament at Dale Meadows Ball Fields on May 5 and 6. Seven U12 teams and 10 U16 teams, from Port Coquitlam, Sherwood Park, Kelowna, West Kelowna, West Kootenay, North Surrey along with two Summerland teams participated.

The U16 Summerland Swarm, played with ambition and had a great time. Hannah Wright, Cassidy McCullough, Erin Gabriel and Cassandra Kruger were each named player of the game. The U12 Summerland Squirtguns had three players of the game awarded

to Raina Whitfield, Jenayah Lefebvre and Caprice Foulon. The Kelowna Storm won the U12 silver medal while Poco2 won gold. In the U16 category, the silver went to West Kelowna and the gold went to Sherwood Park. Organizers of the tournament included Bob and

Carol Van Balkom, Cindy and Tom Nelson, Brad Smith, Joe Cutt, the Penticton Umpire Association and the Summerland U19 and Summerland U12 teams for lining and raking the fields all weekend. On May 12 to 13, the Summerland U14 and U19 will take to the fields.

The province of B.C. is taking steps to establish a Provincial Athletic Commissioner, who would regulate and supervise professional contests such as boxing, kickboxing and mixed martial arts. C o m m u n i t y, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Ida Chong introduced Bill 50 - Athletic Commissioner Act - in the legislature this week. The proposed act would establish a consistent framework to oversee the conduct of these professional events throughout the province. This legislation would not apply to amateur contests. If local governments do not want such contests to take place in their communities, they would be able to prohibit these events by passing a bylaw. “The benefit of having a provincial athletic commissioner would be that every professional contest would be subject to the same rules and regulations, whether it was being held in Vancouver, Nanaimo or Vernon,” said Chong.

Dear Dad-

250-494-7752

I still can hear your laughter But life’s never been the sameChanged for us forever When the universe... called your name. I look at the stars in the midnight sky So deep, so vast so freeThe brightest star, I know is you And it brings such peace to me. I miss your strength and caring And all the things you’d doI wanted all our children To grow up... knowing you. But looking at their faces I really have no fearFor your love, your pride and laughter And so much of you... still here. So many memories that we have Are such a special partWe wrap them up and keep them Stored safely in our heart. I think you ride the rising sun As it comes into viewThe morning light that gives new dayReminds me of you too... I think you are the summer wind That whispers through the treesThen dances cross the splashing waves And lingers on the breeze... I see you in the ﬂoating clouds A forever changing viewSo many warm and special thoughts That we still have of you. Love always, Your girls

Arthur Morrison Our family is deeply saddened by the passing of Arthur after a courageous and valiant battle with cancer. He will be sadly missed by his wife Heather, daughters Penny Morrison, Sandra Frank, Brenda Sidoni, sons Mel and Kelly Arsenault, grandchildren, Darren and Eric Bifford, Travis and Daneal Frank, Brandon and Riley Sidoni and Brittany Arsenault, Dallas and Charlie Arsenault and one great-grandson Carter Arthur Alexander Bifford who always brought a twinkle to his eyes. Arthur spent many years in Europe managing off-shore oil rigs where he became well known and respected as an expert in off-shore drilling. He retired in Summerland, BC 20 years ago. He enjoyed the time that he spent with his wife Heather raising buffalo, Emu, Lamas and chickens on his 5 acre hobby farm. Arthur was also a fond collector of antique tools and farm implements. After spending many years traveling because of his profession, Arthur’s favorite time in his life were the years that he spent doing various projects on his property. Arthur will also be fondly remembered by his many past co-workers, friends and family as a generous and loving man. Arthur was a life member of the Masonic Lodge in Aberdeen, Scotland. We would like to thank Dr. Wren, Dr. D. Barkhuizen and all of the support staff and volunteers at Andy Moog Hospice House for their special care, compassion and kindness. A Celebration of Life will be held at 4pm August 4th, 2012 at 12120 Tingley Street, Summerland, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Cancer Society are suggested. Death leaves a heartache that no one can heal, Love leaves a memory that no one can steal.

Summerland Review Thursday, May 10, 2012

www.summerlandreview.com 23

Looking back at a year in Ottawa It was roughly one year ago that I wrote my first ever report as your newly elected Member of Parliament for OkanaganCoquihalla. Reflecting on the past 12 months and in particular the immense learning curve has shown me the deep passion that Canadians collectively share for our great country. At times we differ in our views and sometimes strongly, but each year on July 1 we come together in celebration to honor what we value most in our country and in ourselves as Canadians. We may sometimes take it for granted but as a nation we are one of the freest, most prosperous and peaceful countries in the world. Canada as a country was built on principles of sacrifice and immense hard work. Our vast social programs materialized much later on once Canada had established the wealth to afford the luxuries of a secure social safety net. However, where citizens once worked in consensus and agreement to undertake the projects that helped create prosperity and employment, today many of those same types of projects are frequently opposed. Regulations that stand as a barrier are often embraced and special interest groups that seek to curtail and derail new investment and infrastructure are on the rise. Most Canadians believe in the importance of creating jobs here in Canada and lament out sourcing yet if we cannot continue to build and to innovate in a productive and efficient manner this is a challenge that will continue to occur. You may have heard about Budget 2012 and the Budget Implementation Act. Budget 2012 is one of the most comprehensive budgets in

Canadian history. In fact, some of our critics have suggested it is too comprehensive and would like to see a simpler, more basic budget document being put forward. It is important to recognize that Canada has a relatively diverse and interrelated economy. Threats to one sector can indeed have repercussions in others. In my discussions with local employers over the past few weeks even in smaller communities like Logan Lake and Okanagan Falls there are major private sector employers who depend upon a healthy mining industry and special projects as one example. In turn,

OTTAWA REPORT

Dan Albas that a comprehensive budget strategy is required to ensure that where possible our vast regulatory processes can be made more efficient to ensure that we are putting citizens to work instead of joining the unemployment line. Recently in Ottawa the opposition critics expressed outrage that debate on the

Canada as a country was built on principles of sacrifice and immense hard work. transportation and regulation are also important contributing factors to the viability of these local operations. All of the considerations also create wellpaying jobs in other related industries. It is for these reasons

Budget 2012 budget bill had been limited to just seven days. What was often not mentioned was that time closure supporting seven days of debate was only being invoked at second reading debate. In

other words, the entire budget debate is not limited to seven days, it was only one stage of the debate at second reading that is subject to a sevenday time clause. It should be pointed out that after second reading is full committee stage review followed by a third reading debate before being sent to the senate where this process would occur once again. In total Budget 2012 will end up having the longest period of debate of any budget in the past two decades, something that I view as positive given the importance of the budget and the spending of your tax dollars. That said, it is also imperative to ultimately pass Budget 2012 in 2012 and more so as many of the budget provisions are essential to moving our Canadian economy forward in a manner that creates jobs here in Canada and supports our local economies.
