Despite the hot and dry conditions this summer, the com-munity’s watering restrictions remain at the Stage 1 level.

“Our water storage is still in good shape,” said Devon van der Meulen, manager of utilities for the muni-cipality. “There’s still lots of water.”

He added that as of

last Thursday, Isintok Lake was at 96.5 per cent of fill capacity, while Thirsk Lake was at 73 per cent of full capacity.

S u m m e r l a n d ’ s water system has a total capacity of 14,136 megalitres and municipal staff are continuing to mon-itor the conditions and the water supply.

Earlier this month,

municipal staff urged Summerlanders to reduce their water consumption.

At the time, con-sumption exceeded 70 megalitres a day. At present, consump-tion is between 50 and 60 megalitres a day.

Under Stage 1 water restrictions, residential watering is permitted three

days a week. Stage 2 restrictions limit watering to two days a week, while Stage 3 restrictions allow watering once a week.

Under Stage 4 restrictions, lawn watering is pro-hibited, as is the exterior washing of buildings, windows, parking lots, drive-ways and sidewalks.

A further measure,

Stage 5 restrictions, is used for a severe drought or a catas-trophic water supply contamination or a failure of the water system.

Elsewhere in the province, extreme drought conditions have resulted in watering restrictions in other communities.

At present, the Ministry of Forests,

Lands and Natural Resource Operations has declared a Level 4 drought — the highest drought cat-egory — for Vancou-ver Island, the Lower Mainland, Sunshine Coast and Fraser Val-ley. The Thompson, Nicola, Okanagan and Similkameen regions are categor-ized as in a Level 3 drought.

Lakeside Presbyter-ian Church has been dissolved, Summer-landers are raising concerns about the future of the herit-age building in Lowertown.

Cadet awardOn Friday, July 17, the first intake of the two-week General Training Course held their graduation parade at Albert Head Cadet Training Centre. Cpl. Dawson Burdick of 902 Nighthawk Squadron in Summerland received the Top Cadet Award in his flight for the General Training Course! The award was presented by the reviewing officer, Col. David Awalt.

An initiative to decorate the down-town area for fall has received municipal council support.

At the July 13 municipal council meeting, Maryan Dennison and Linda Beaven presented their Harvest Days concept.

The concept is similar to something which has been done in Colfax, Wash.,

where harvest dis-plays are created in front of downtown businesses.

“It looked fantas-tic,” Dennison said. “There is no reason we can’t do this in Summerland.”

The displays would be in place from mid-September to mid-October.

Beaven said down-town businesses could create a harvest

display in front of their locations, artists could create harvest displays on behalf of a business or busi-nesses and service organizations could sponsor displays.

She added that in the 14 years the proj-ect has been in place in Colfax, the dis-plays have not been vandalized.

Christine Petkau, manager of the Sum-

merland Chamber of Commerce, said the project will enhance the downtown area.

“ S u m m e r l a n d Harvest Days will be a beautiful addi-tion to downtown Summerland in Sep-tember and October and we’re pleased to promote this initia-tive to our members in the retail core,” she said. “We’ll also be encouraging visi-tors to come to Sum-merland to enjoy the

decorations.”Municipal council

endorsed the Sum-merland Harvest Days project and will provide around $700 in grant funding.

Because the munic-ipality’s grants in aid policy is limited to not for profit orga-nizations and chari-ties, the organizers of the Harvest Days initiative must part-ner with a nonprofit sponsoring organiza-tion.

Harvest Days proposal receives council approval

A story in the July 16 Summerland Review had an incorrect figure.

Bruce Hallquist’s election expenses in the 2014 municipal election were $1,583.04, not $5,050 as reported.

A story on the cycling trail project incorrect-ly carried Carla McLeod’s byline.

The Review apologizes for the errors.

Giant’s Head Mountain Park access closed to vehicles

John Arendt

Because of the high fire hazard in the area, the paved road in Giant’s Head Mountain Park has been closed to vehicle traffic.

The road closure took effect on Tues-day, in an effort to limit the risk of per-son-caused fires in the park.

“If we can limit the number of cars

going up there, it will reduce a sig-nificant number of people going up the hill,” said fire chief Glenn Noble.

He added that the decision to close the park to vehicle traffic was not made lightly.

“From a tourism

aspect, it’s not a good thing,” he said, “but we’ve seen some very aggressive fire behav-iour.”

Mayor Peter Water-man said the dry c o n d i -t i o n s led to the deci-sion to close the road to vehicular traffic.

“We have moved to this closure to vehicular traffic in these extreme condi-tions as Giant’s Head

Park is particu-l a r l y vulner-a b l e due to h i g h use by r e s i -d e n t s a n d tourists

alike,” he said. “In addition to this

closure to vehicles, I would like to urge cigarette users to be extremely careful. It is common sense that this applies to all areas where there is a fire hazard.”

At the time of the ban, the fire hazard in the region was rated as high, but Noble said extreme fire haz-ard conditions were expected within a day or two after the ban.

Last year a simi-lar ban was imple-mented in the park, beginning on July 18.

The park was also closed to vehicle traf-fic in 2003, during one of the most dev-astating fire seasons in the region.

The 2003 fire sea-son saw the last sig-nificant fire events

in the South Oka-nagan, although the West Kelowna area has had serious fires since that time.

In August, 1996, a fire in the park destroyed more than 60 hectares of grass-

land and trees on the east side of the moun-tain.

Around 20 nearby houses were evacu-ated.

The fire danger rat-ing was at extreme during the 1996 fire.

Road closed due to fire hazard

Donovan Tildesley, four-time Paralym-pic athlete for Can-ada and world record holder in swimming, was the speaker at the Good Works for India fundraiser din-ner in early July.

“I have always asked myself: Why not take the next step? Why not take up the challenge?” Tildesley said.

The dinner, at Summerland United Church, was held to raise money for the family of David Jonsson and Linnea Good as they return to north and south India this fall to pro-

vide music to staff and students at two Christian Medical College hospitals.

The family trav-elled to India in 2013, performing at the same hospitals.

“It is an honour for us to be invited back,” Good said. “And this time, we will hit the ground running because we know what musicians can do to be supportive of health care practi-tioners and students.”

The Christian Medical College Hos-pitals offer affordable health care to all lev-els of a society that has been segregated

historically by caste and complicated by bureaucracy.

Both hospitals were founded in the early 1900s by women seeking to

offer health care training to women to serve women. Today they train and serve all people.

The family team will visit India in

November and December.

More information on their initiative is available at www.GoodWorksForIndia.com.

The municipality has filed a notice against a property after a building was constructed without the required building permit and building inspec-tions.

In a report to municipal council, Ian McIntosh, director of develop-ment services, said a building permit application had been received for the property at 18555 Matsu Dr. The per-mit application was to construct a 5.5-metre by 8.2-metre addition to a winery building.

The permit was not picked up or paid for and no inspections were requested by the owner. However, in June the owner applied for a business license.

In late June, when the building inspector and fire chief visited the site to inspect the business licence, it was discovered that the work had been completed without the required per-mits or inspections.

Rick Thrussell, owner of the win-ery, said he thought he had paid for the permit. “It was a complete over-

sight on my part,” he told municipal council on July 13.

Thrussell, a builder with more than 30 years of experience, took photo-graphs of the building during the construction process, which were later presented to the municipal building inspector.

Summerland does not accept photo-graphs of construction for building inspections, since it is impossible to determine where and when such photographs were taken.

Construction done without permit

Dan Ashton, MLA for Penticton, was elected Canadian vice-president of the Pacific Northwest Economic Region.

Ashton was elected to the position dur-ing the 25th annual PNWER Summit in Big Sky, Mont. on July 12.

“It is an abso-lute honour to be elected as Canadian vice-president of PNWER,” Ashton said.

“I look forward

to not only advan-cing British Colum-bia’s interests, but to building strong rela-tionships with our neighbouring juris-dictions, with whom we share common ground on a range of subjects.”

As a vice-president of PNWER, Ash-ton joins the execu-tive committee, the d e c i s i o n - m a k i n g body responsible for reviewing all activ-ities of the organiza-tion.

This role gives the province a voice on energy, transporta-tion, forest manage-ment, invasive spe-cies and environ-mental stewardship.

This appoint-ment will also be an opportunity to pro-mote several B.C. key priorities, includ-ing developing the province’s liquefied natural gas industry and enhancing the movement of people, goods and invest-ment throughout the

The Wills, Estates and Succession Act

You may have heard in the news that BC is changing the law regarding Wills, Estates and Probate. After a very long time-consuming process, lawmakers in BC have created the Act referred to above. It is a new and improved consolidation of the various statutes that dealt with this area of law previously. The Act is scheduled to come into force on March 31, 2014.Most people’s existing wills are not affected by the changes in legislation as the lawmakers concentrated more on updating Estate and Probate procedures. That is not to say that there are not any changes however. One very important change is with respect to how joint ownership of real property and bank accounts is dealt with in the event that both joint owners pass away at the same time. In the rare circumstance where that occurs and it cannot be determined who passed away first, a very different distribution of the joint asset will occur from what had been the law previously.It is always a good idea to review your will on a regular basis. This new legislation is a very good reason to review your existing will and estate plan. A Lawyer specializing in Wills and Estates can answer any questions you might have.

VICTORIA – Have you noticed the latest degradation of stan-dards on TV news? In addition to sensa-tional depictions of crime, accidents and celebrities, the lineup now incorporates any nonsense that is momentarily “viral” on the Internet.

So it was with an online petition sin-gling out Swiss food corporation Nestlé, which operates a water bottling plant near Hope.

It’s the largest in B.C., one of many that bottle the prov-ince’s water and sell it back to a gullible public.

This petition is courtesy of SumO-fUs, one of those self-appointed environ-mental watchdogs that seem to pop up like mushrooms overnight.

“Fighting for people over profits,” they claim, pitching for donations.

The story has what U.S. comedian Ste-phen Colbert calls “truthiness.” That’s when something is false, but it “feels”

true. “Nestlé is about to

suck B.C. dry – for $2.25 per million litres to be exact,” says the SumOfUs headline.

Using her keen sense of what’s superficially popu-lar, Premier Christy Clark instantly called for a review of these low rates for selling the people’s water.

It then fell to Environment Min-ister Mary Polak to explain what’s really going on.

“People keep say-ing there’s a deal with Nestlé,” Polak told reporters.

“There isn’t. They pay the same as any other industrial

user, in fact the high-est industrial rate, and it goes for any-thing from hydraulic fracturing to bot-tled water, those involved in mining for example, any of those heavy indus-trial uses.”

And why is that rate so low?

It’s because the province takes great pains not to “sell” water, which would make it a commod-ity under trade agree-ments, like oil or min-erals.

That would sur-render provincial control, and allow the U.S. to press for equal access to Can-adian water.

“You’re buying the right to use the water,” Polak said.

“I know it sounds crazy to the public, but we call it a rent-al – a water rental. There’s a reason we use that language, because we are very careful to avoid any suggestion that by paying this amount, you therefore own that water.

“That reserves for us the right at any

time, for a compel-ling public need, to say stop. It doesn’t matter if you have a licence.”

As for the brazenly false claim that Nestlé is sucking B.C. dry, I’m indebted to a real environmental pro-fessional named Blair King for explaining this.

(His blog, achem-is t in langley.b log-spot.ca, offers useful technical explana-tions of issues in the news, many of which contradict so-called environment-alists.)

King notes that the bottling plant uses less than one per cent of the flow through Kawkawa Lake:

“If Nestlé stopped operating (and put its 75 employees out of work and stopped paying municipal taxes) would there be more water for the rest of us?” he writes.

“Absolutely not. Kawkawa Lake drains its excess water into the Fraser River, which drains into the Strait of Georgia. Nei-ther the Fraser River

at Hope nor the Strait of Georgia is particu-larly short of water, even in the driest of years.”

Clark made one useful contribution, when asked about this urgent non-issue by those seeking to further sensation-alize the current drought and forest fires.

She correctly noted that most B.C. resi-dents have access to the best tap water in the world, and have no need for bottled water.

Nestlé, Perrier, Coke, Pepsi and other companies have done a fantastic job of convincing people that their drinking water has to be deliv-ered in bottles from some mythical pure source.

Here’s a tip, Nestlé critics: Fill a jug with water and stick it in the fridge. Fight the corporations.

Nestlé protest doesn’t hold waterB.C.Views

Tom Fletcher

YOUR VIEWS

While much of southern British Columbia is facing a serious drought this year, Summerland has not had to tighten its water use restrictions so far this sea-son.

The drought rating in the Thompson, Nicola, Okanagan and Similkameen regions is at Level 3 under the province’s rating system, while Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, Sunshine Coast and Fraser Valley are in a Level 4 drought, the province’s most severe category.

At present, the municipality still has plenty of water in its reservoirs, although Summerlanders are still being urged to use water wisely. Other communities, are under severe water restrictions.

Drought conditions are always cause for concern, especially in naturally dry areas such as the Okanagan Valley.

This year’s drought is reminiscent of 2003, a summer characterized by extremely hot and dry weather. That year, severe restrictions were implemented due to concerns that the community’s reser-voirs might run dry.

Since the 2003 fire season, several changes have occurred.

The expansion of Thirsk Dam, com-pleted in the fall of 2007, increased Summerland’s water supply by roughly 30 per cent.

The municipality’s shift from a flat rate for domestic water to a metered system helped to reduce water consumption.

The dry summer of 2003 also resulted in an increased awareness of Summerland’s water needs and the importance of con-servation. Many who remember that sum-mer have cut back on their water use.

As municipal crews continue to mon-itor the water in the reservoirs, it is pos-sible that increased conservation meas-ures may be needed later this summer.

However, changes in watering practi-ces within the community have helped to alleviate a potentially serious water prob-lem, at least for the present time.

Good water use habits developed over the past dozen years have helped to mini-mize the impact of this year’s dry condi-tions.

Relative to the timesAn improved water supply and a better road! To the residents of Garnett Valley in the early 1900s that meant more flumes and a wider trail. Over one hundred years later it means twinned water lines and a much needed road resurfacing. Water systems and transportation issues have always presented a challenge and it would be interesting to check back in another hundred years or so to see what solution future generations employ.

Dear Editor:Congratulations

Summerland. After many years of hard work by staff and previous councils, the funding by the fed-eral and provincial Government for the Garnett Valley/Jones Flat water upgrades, separation and road improvements has finally been awarded.

Many thanks to MP Dan Albas and MLA Dan Ashton for your continual sup-port for our commun-

ity.A very special

thanks must be given to former councillor Marty Van Alphen.

During his elec-tion campaign in 2011 he promised to work hard to see this project come to frui-tion. He never missed a meeting with our Premier, ministry aids and staff to sup-port and advocate on behalf of the residents of Garnet Valley.

While at the UBCM last September he

was told his work was being noticed and for the first time we felt positive news was imminent. The news came after Mar-ty’s term in office.

Councillor Marty Van Alphen; you helped to make this happen and you deserve thanks. Con-gratulations and well done.

We look forward to seeing the construc-tion start soon.

Water upgrades were the result of long effort

Dear Editor:The Canadian political system

has experienced an incredible shift of political power – away from the people – to the back rooms of the Prime Minister’s Office.

In eight short years Harper has gutted the federal MPs of every ounce of political power that belonged to them.

He has achieved this simply by taking control of the Conservative Party’s nomination process.

Harper will sign your nomina-tion papers, in return for absolute control of your vote in the House of Commons.

There is no longer any mean-ingful debate on proposed legis-lation, and budgets are no longer presented and debated before adoption, they are ‘bundled’ with dozens of other pieces of legisla-tion, and rammed through Parlia-ment by our elected MPs under severe duress.

Harper has certainly delivered

on this promise: “You won’t rec-ognize Canada when I’m done with it,” but he has made a huge strategic error:

He turned his back on the very people he needs to be able to manipulate all that political muz-zle.

He fired his right hand man, Nigel Wright, who went out of his way and spent $90,000 of his own money, trying to clean up after Michael Duffy.

Then he turned his back on Senators Michael Duffy and Pam-ela Wallin, who both were trav-elling the country and in good faith working their hearts out, campaigning for Harper and the Conservative party.

Cabinet Ministers and MPs are now leaving him like rats leaving a sinking ship, while our federal government has become a one man show, vulnerable to Harper’s random ambitions.

Dear Editor:Our Summerland

signs at each end of our city, on the high-way, are very nice, but the landscaping around them is awful. It just looks like a pile of weeds.

Surely the city can come up with some-thing more attractive at the base of our signs.

R. TaylorSummerland

Landscaping around signs needs work Dear Editor:

A recent visit to a couple of homes in Osoyoos where a solar system had been installed, convinced me that it would be possible to put in such an arrangement into our home.

The use of installed solar panels, without any batteries, can be used to produce enough electricity, particularly in the summertime, to more than offset the need for any electricity you have to purchase

from Summerland’s grid.

On average, with enough panels, you can produce enough electricity to put back into a city grid, and get paid for it, or at least get credit for it, which you can use to reduce your winter bills.

At least that is the idea.

In Osoyoos, elec-tricity is supplied by Fortis directly.

It also bills its cus-tomers. In Summer-land, as most resi-

dents know, Fortis supplies the electri-city to the munici-pality, but the muni-cipality looks after the infrastructure of supplying electricity to its residents, and charges them for both the electricity and the supply of same.

But so far, as far as I know, nobody has taken the opportun-ity to tie into Sum-merland’s electrical grid with either solar, wind or geothermal supplies.

From what I under-

stand, our municipal-ity is not too keen on it either.

In Osoyoos, Fortis not only allows this, but doesn’t charge a fee for it either.

If and when Sum-merland allows tie-ins, they plan to charge a fee of nearly $1,000 for the privil-ege. As far as I have been able to find out BC Hydro also allows tie-ins without charge.

In European coun-tries, trying to reduce their carbon emission

and get out of dirty coal for the produc-tion of electricity, all green production is promoted.

In Germany, every new home is required to have solar panels installed.

Every home reno-vation must also include solar power installation.

It is very appar-ent, even though it has faced a number of electrical outages recently due to faulty equipment, that Summerland is way

behind the times. It is an expensive

proposition for the homeowner. In my case about $15,000.

But I believe it certainly adds to the value of the home, even though it will take some time to recoup.

If more people think about going solar, the price of installation should also go down. But it needs the muni-cipality to start pro-moting the idea.

Solar electrical power should be promoted

According to treas-urer Jim Cavin of the Summerland Yacht Club, the organiza-tion putting on the race, it’s hoped to raise $15,000 to help accessorize the new addition to Penticton Regional Hospital.

“When it was announced (hospi-tal tower) we at the Summerland Yacht club thought we’ll do our bit to raise

some money and the notion of a bath-tub race came about because it’s sort of a water thing and we’re water people and we’ve got nice lakes, nice beaches, nice parks and we’d give it a whirl,” said

Cavin, who has been working on the race plans since last fall. “There’s not a lot of prize money but the main objective is to raise money for the hospital and to have fun, those are the two primary objectives.”

Organizers decid-ed to have two race classes for the first event, a competitive group which will go from Summerland to Penticton and back and a fun division Cavin described as a “floating parade”

which will do a cir-cuit just offshore.

“Our target for this year was 20 tubs and right now we’re sit-ting at 17 or 18 but if we don’t get 20 that’s fine we have enough to have a good race,” he said. “The other is more of a fun thing, there’s a few what I call contraptions in it. Initially that one was going to go to Pentic-ton as well but those boats aren’t that fast and we wanted to give the people at Peach Orchard Park some-thing to look at. We’ve got eight or nine boats in that class and we’ll have a couple of races and then a race off between the top float boats.”

Depending on water conditions he expects the competi-tive event will take about an hour to complete.

He has already built a couple of tubs, adding there is still time for someone to do that. Construction plans are currently on the event website.

Cavin estimated the cost would be less than a $1,000 not including the engine. Used tubs can also be purchased.

“Most of the people have gone out and arranged for a sponsor or we helped them find a spon-sor,” he said. “The community response has been really posi-tive. Don’t know how many people to expect but we have no illusions about this year, we’ll learn a lot. You have to walk

before you run.”Executive direc-

tor Janice Perrino of the medical founda-tion was especially pleased when she learned of the yacht club’s decision to hold the event.

“For me as a for-mer mayor you love to see events come to the community that are fun and family orientated and this is one of those and of course being with the foundation when we’re so busy trying to raise funds for the hospital that’s just an added bonus, it’s just terrific,” she said. “To see an organiza-tion like the yacht club to take this on and say, ‘we’re doing this for Summer-land, for Penticton for Keremeos, for Princeton for Oliver’ they’re doing it for the whole region.”

The day begins with breakfast at the yacht club at 7:30 a.m. followed by a pre race meeting.

Activities at Peach Orchard Park begin at 9:45 a.m. with a fleet parade and introduction of skip-pers, a blessing of racers and then the first race heat for the fun event.

The main event will start at 10:30.

A wide variety of dry land events are planned for the park during the day including a beverage garden and many kids’ activities.

Bathtub race to support health care

Water sportsJim Cavin of the Summerland Yacht Club is prepared for the Great Ogo-pogo Bathtub Race. The race will be held Aug. 22 as a fundraiser for the addition to the Penticton Regional Hospital.

A Shakespear-ian comedy will be performed at a Sum-merland winery next month.

St. Andrew’s Play-ers, a South Oka-nagan theatre troupe, will present the com-edy at Summergate

Winery on Aug. 13 and 14, beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Colin Cross, direc-tor and producer of the play, said it is one of William Shake-speare’s most access-ible comedies.

First staged in 160s, the story involves

mistaken identities, cross dressing and more as it recounts the story of twins separated from each other following a shipwreck.

Colin Cross, pro-ducer and director of the play, said the win-ery setting is ideal for

a Shakespearian com-edy.

“It’s so much fun to see it outside,” he said.

“It’s almost as if the plays were made for the summertime.”

The play will also be staged at Town-ship Winery in Pen-ticton on Aug. 7 and 8 at 6:30 p.m., at the same location on Aug. 9 beginning at 2:30 p.m, at Tin-horn Creek Winery in Oliver on Aug. 11 and 12 beginning at 7:30 p.m. and at St. Andrew’s Presbyter-ian Church in Pentic-ton on Aug. 15 at 7:30 p.m. and Aug. 16 at 2:30 p.m.

Carla McLeodSpecial to the

Review

The future of the Lakeside Presby-terian Church, at the corner of Butler and Shaughnessy Avenues in Lower-town, is somewhat up in the air at the moment.

The church’s con-gregation has been dissolved and the building will soon be put up for sale.

Many people are concerned that this building, without heritage status, may be lost to the com-munity for all time.

“This building has played an important role in the develop-ment and history of Summerland’s Lowertown,” said historian David Gregory.

According to Greg-ory, it was the local Baptist community that first built the church. The construc-tion of the 225-seat building, with half-timber design, began in the spring of 1910 and was called the Lakeside Baptist Church.

In 1926, the United Church acquired the building. It was at this time that a massive oak pipe organ, built by Edward Lye and Sons, from Toronto was purchased and was shipped in pieces via Canadian Nation-al Railways.

Arriving along with the many boxes containing the com-ponents of the organ was an expert, Mr. McCrae, who put the

pieces together.As well as being

a church, the build-ing served other pur-poses over the years. From 1933 to 1958, the Summerland Regional Library was housed in the base-ment.

It was also used as a polling station dur-ing elections and for a short time served as the fire station for the Lowertown area.

The Summerland Masonic Lodge pur-chased the Lakeside Church in 1958.

It was through the efforts of lodge mem-bers that the build-ing was completely restored.

In 1991, the build-ing was sold to the Presbyterian Church.

Over the years many more renova-tions and improve-ments were made, including a major structural project that saw timbers in the loft replaced and the roof re-shingled.

The original bell that had been stolen more than once, was recovered from the bushes and the lake. It was re-installed by Dick Norris and Don Truscott in 1994 according to Church records.

The bell tolled for the last time with the congregation of the Lakeside Pres-byterian Church, on Sunday June 28 at 4 p.m.

“It was pretty sad here when we had our moderator from the Presbytery of Kamloops declare this congregation dissolved,” said Lou

Wolkowski, who served as an elder, trustee and treasurer for the church.

“We had our ser-vice and handed over our books to her and that was it, we were dissolved. A lot of tears were shed.”

Being a congre-gation made up of mostly seniors, the number of members attending services had fallen to only 15.

There were no longer enough hands to engage in fund-raising efforts, such as the chili dinners and bazaars.

Wolkowski said that a sad story could turn into a joyful story, depending on what happens with the building in the future.

“It was the wish of some in the con-gregation that it be kept as a church,” he said. “Maybe it could be turned into an opera house or a musical house of some sort, because the acoustics here are excellent.”

The famous pipe organ could be dis-mantled and sold separately, but Wol-kowski does not think it would be very happy about being relocated.

“I think this is the home for it,” he said.

A number of people have expressed their desire to see the church declared a heritage building.

In fact Summer-land presented the congregation with a plaque in celebra-tion of Heritage Week

in 1998, recognizing the church as one of

the town’s heritage buildings.

“Although the building was regis-

tered as a heritage building with the province in 1984, that registration was removed by the Masons and it is no longer on the land title now,” said Greg-ory.

The Summerland Heritage Advisory Commission is plan-ning to hold a meet-ing in the near future to discuss the Lake-side Church and the public will be invited to participate.

“For now, the Pres-byterian Church of Canada in Toronto has control over the building,” Wolkow-ski said.

“They are the ones handling the corres-pondence, paying of bills and the sale of the property.”

W o l k o w s k i believes the outcome for the Lakeside Church lies with a higher power.

“It’s in God’s hands,” he said. “We’ll let him dir-ect the disposition of it.”

Church building has a long history

Heritage buildingThe church building at the corner of Butler and Shaughnessy Avenues in Lowertown dates back to 1910. It has been recognized for its heritage value.

If you have been driving between Pen-ticton and Summer-land north of Trout Creek over the past few days you may have noticed a con-struction project underway.

This work is being undertaken to build a two-metre-wide pathway that will extend 1.3 kilometres during this phase. This project has a value of just over $700,000 and will provide a safe corri-dor for cyclists, jog-gers and those out to enjoy a walk.

This path-way builds on an announcement from the Ministry of Trans-portation and Infra-structure made in June to host a pilot project here in the South Okanagan cre-ating enhanced sign-age and routes specif-ically for cycling.

Ours is a very beautiful region to explore on a bicycle and the importance to increase road safety with dedicated bike lanes where possible

and more resources for cyclists to enjoy the region not only promotes a healthy and active lifestyle, but also supports local tourism small business.

Last weekend, roughly 2,500 cyc-lists from all across B.C. and elsewhere participated in the Axel Merckx Grand Fondo race as just one example on the growing importance of cycling to our region and elsewhere in British Columbia.

I will be back in Victoria this week for a rare summer sitting of the B.C. Legisla-ture.

The reason for this special summer ses-sion is to debate the LNG project agree-ment legislation that will be another step towards the cre-ation of a $36-billion investment in a new LNG facility in north-western B.C.

With an estimated value of $36 billion US, this LNG infra-structure would be one of the largest

private-sector invest-ments in the history of B.C.

On a smaller scale locally, another pro-ject just announced is a new nine-kilometre waterline to service the Jones Flat and Garnet Valley areas in northern Summer-land.

Safe, healthy drinking water elim-inates the need for boil-water advisories and also supports local agriculture and livestock.

In addition, the completion of this project will result in some fresh new asphalt in an area where it is long over-due. The total cost of this project shared between Summer-land and the provin-cial and federal gov-

ernments is estimat-ed to be $6.8 million.

As we are having a particularly hot sum-mer, I would like to remind all outdoor enthusiasts to exer-cise extreme caution when on Crown lands to avoid any activ-ity that can cause a spark and, in turn, a wildfire.

Although many wildfires are caused by lightning, more than half are as a result of human activity.

To report a wildfire in B.C. call 1-800-663-5555 or call *5555 on your cellphone.

Another reminder if you are travelling on B.C. highways this summer is that the province’s new left-lane rules are now in effect.

If you are driving on a multi-lane high-way where the post-ed speed limit is 80 kilometres per hour or greater, all drivers are required to stay to the right unless they are passing another vehicle. Other per-mitted exemptions include merging into a left lane or prepar-ing to make a left-hand turn.

My final remind-er for the summer months is to always consider ways you can reduce your water consump-tion. Many regions of B.C. are facing drought and water restrictions, includ-ing many irrigation districts here in the South Okanagan.

Reducing and changing your water-

ing times to avoid hot sun, installing d r o u g h t - t o l e r a n t landscaping and using more water-efficient bathroom appliances are just a few ways you reduce your water use.

I would like to take a moment to pass on a sincere thank-you. Throughout June and now in July I

have been fortunate to have been invited to many enjoyable community events in Peachland, Sum-merland, Naramata and Penticton. Many of these events draw large crowds and are often enjoyed by fam-ilies of all ages.

These commun-ity events share one thing in common: They are put on by volunteers, often with the support of local small business owners.

For all of the vol-unteers and spon-sors of the many festivals and com-munity events, know that your efforts are appreciated and enjoyed by many.

the Okanagan feature. The article high-

lights a number of Okanagan experi-ences talking about how the Bead Trail experience provides another way to dis-cover the Okanagan — a great promotion for the 140 businesses on the trail. The item on La Punta Norte details the beautiful Mexican influenced bed and breakfast and its stunning views of Okanagan Lake.

The end of June saw the soft opening of Alois Thurn’s new venture, Bodega 1117 Winery. The name of the brand comes from the first written record of the Thurn family as farmers in Germany. Alois aims to start small and produce high-quality wines, just as he did when starting the vinegar business. His hopes later this summer are to work with not-for-profit groups to serve simple, rustic dinners.

Garnett Valley Road and Garnett Valley were named after pioneers Edgar and William Gar-nett.

The Garnett broth-ers pre-empted their land at the entrance

to Garnett Valley in 1887 and again in 1889.

The family name Garnett is spelled with a second “t” but often the second “t” is forgotten.

How this came

about was due to a provincial map pub-lished in 1920.

Some of the let-ters of the title of the map covered up the second “t” of the name Garnett and since then, maps

have used the name Garnet.

Garnett Valley Road is one of the oldest roads in British Columbia.

The first map to show this road (trail) was a map attributed

to Samuel Black in 1833.

An older road, another Summerland road, is the Princet-o n - S u m m e r l a n d Road identified on a map from 1827. Both trails were First

Nation trails and sec-tions of these trails have been carbon dated at 6,000 years old.

Garnett Valley Road is part of the Okanagan Fur Brig-ade Trail system.

It was first described in 1811 and used for the fur trade from 1825 to 1847.

After that date, there was little use of the road ( trail) until British Columbia’s gold rush in 1858.

About 10 per cent of the miners who travelled to the gold fields of the interior of the Colony of British Columbia used this route. The majority of the miners travelled through the Fraser Canyon.

In 1858 cattleman, businessman and prominent citizen, Joel Palmer travelled along this trail.

His journals describe his travels through this area.

From present day Garnett Lake to Peachland the trail has a very steep descent and Palmer complained about the condition of the roadway.

Palmer ’s com-plaint is probably the first complaint of a road in British Col-umbia.

Summerland has created a 50 acre historic park, Priest Encampment at Gar-nett Lake.

Also, Summer-land has the only preserved section of the Fur Brigade Trail; as a 4.1-kilo-metre linear park from Priest to the Brigade lookout.

With the recent announcement of improvements to Garnett Valley Road with the addition of a bike lane, the pos-sibility exists to con-nect a bicycle trail from Garnett Lake to the planned bike trails of the Central Okanagan Regional District at Peach-land.

The goal is to create a trail that extends the entire length of the Okanagan Valley.

The Summerland section would be one of the most scenic sections.

Valley and road named for Garnett brothers

faith community…ALL ARE

WELCOME!

It’s hard to imagine with all our hot weather this summer that athletes will be venturing to Sum-merland for our ice.

Yes, that’s right — ice time for hockey camps has been gob-bled up for most of the summer. Ice went back into the Sum-merland Arena last week and it will be well used.

Coming to town is the Gold in the Net - BC hockey camp out of Parksville. Gold in the Net runs hockey camps across Canada and internationally. Their camp commen-ces July 20 to 24 in Summerland.

The following week, the Bulldogs Camp is in from Kelowna run by Greg Holst.

In August, Mac-Gillivray Hockey Training is in led by Bill and Brian Mac-Gillivray.

Our own Summer-land Steam Camp and the Eli Wilson Goalie Hockey Camp will be in at the end of August.

“With our local minor hockey organ-izations, Junior B team, and hockey camps our summer ice is almost fully booked” explained Recreation facil-ity scheduler Nicole Lawrence. “Our arena staff works diligently throughout the sum-mer to accommodate the needs of each camp. Our hope is that our guests to our District enjoy their stay, our municipal-ity, facilities, spread the word and return each year,” says Kim Chadwick Recreation Administrator.

The Bulldogs camp has been running for 19 years.

They have no web-site; only word of mouth. They have two groups, one midget and one ban-tam ranging from ages 13 to 17. Greg Holst shares, “We work on speed, skill and play. We run lots of different games so they can work on these skills. We are disciplined and the boys are on time and ready to go. We have

a very positive, fun atmosphere but we do work extremely hard.”

“The facility is great and it’s all there in one building.

The players get 20 hours of ice time, two dryland practices a day where we play ball hockey, dodge ball but the favor-ite of the players is handball,” Holst shares. “The camp is small and personal. Just how I want it to be.”

Gold in the Net hockey schools are run nationally and president Perry Elderbroom explains why he chooses Sum-merland.

“Of course every-one knows about the great weather and lake atmosphere, but the arena in Sum-merland has been very accommodating to our needs and it has become a main-stay in our yearly line up for the past 13 years.

As a goalie school, we train goalies from all over the World and all kinds of dif-ferent levels from the beginners to the pros.

As a former NHL goalie coach, some of the most notable names that I have taught and trained through GITN would be Henrik Lundqv-ist of the New York Rangers, he was not only a student but owned the GITN-Sweden franchise at one point. Others would be Robin Leh-ner recently traded from Ottawa to Buf-falo, Kari Lehtonen of Dallas Stars and Karri Ramo of the Calgary Flames.”

GITN camps in Summerland have a unique mental train-ing component.

“Younger beginner goalies to our new Elite MTC which is Mental Training Course that is the first of its kind. It is where we train the goalie not only on the ice but how to work the mind as hard as the body. All in all we will train about 35 goalies this week. We will have one WHL

goalie and one col-lege goalie turning pro this year partici-pating in the camp. We also have a certi-fied GITN staff mem-ber from Finland this year Alexksis Vertan-en who has played in Finland and con-tinues to study there while training goalies for GITN (Gold in the Net).” Perry Elder-broom says, “Next

year we will be cele-brating 30 years of goalie development, with programing across Canada and overseas in Finland.

In Summerland participating as a stu-dent will be Dylan Ferguson who will be suiting up for the Kamloops Blaz-ers this year as well as college standout Frank Slubowski who will be leaving for a team in Europe.

If you would like to inquire about ice time, please call the Recreation Office at 250-494-0447.

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

ISOBEL PATRICIA

JENSEN NEE: ATKINSON

Isobel Patricia Jensen (nee: Atkinson) passed away in the presence of loved ones on February 22, 2015, in Vancouver, BC at the age of 91 years; predeceased by her parents, William and Elizabeth.She is lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her sister Louise, daughter Linda, sons David (Gudrun) and Lee (Debra), grandchildren Jeremy, Anna Lisa (Harry), Alexander (Kay), Viktor Th or and great grandchildren, Nate, Karly, Ottilie, Elias, Panya, Jin and Viggo Th or.Isobel was born and raised in Summerland, BC, by a loving and close family that included her many aunts, uncles and cousins. Until the end of her life she fondly remembered those days growing up and attending her school years in Summerland and the fun and activities that arose from such a wonderful extended family that lived as neighbours to one another. During World War 2, Isobel’s mother and father also provided a home for an English boy, Brian Kelly, who was sent from England to escape those terrible bombings. Isobel and her family always treated Brian as kin during those war years and any memory of Isobel’s younger years would be remiss without mention of him.Upon fi nishing high school, Isobel temporarily moved to Victoria, BC where she entered nursing school at the Royal Jubilee Hospital and graduated as a Registered Nurse. She married and later moved to Vancouver BC, before returning to the Okanagan Valley and living in Kelowna for several years. She subsequently lived in Whitehorse, YT, Burnaby and Vancouver, BC.Isobel had a wonderful sense of humour and always thirsty for knowledge. She liked to travel, read, knit, and garden. Perhaps the thing she most enjoyed was spending time at the family cottage on Okanagan Lake in Trout Creek. Her aff ection for nature was well-known among those who knew her but her greatest love was for her family. Nothing came before them. She took a keen interest in the lives of her children, grandchildren and later her great grandchildren, all of whom were spread throughout the world. She was proud of their various accomplishments and was always eager to learn fi rst hand what was occurring in their lives. Isobel had a wide range of friends, and she touched the lives of many more. For Linda, David and Lee, Isobel was the greatest “mum” a person could have had and they feel blessed to have been raised, nurtured and loved by her.Isobel’s family would like to thank the staff of Braddan Private Hospital in Vancouver, BC where she lived the last approximately 2 years of her life. Th e attention and kindness they showed Isobel, will always be remembered.

A Celebration of Isobel’s Life will be held in her beloved Summerland on Monday, July 27th at 11:00 am at St Stephen Anglican Church, 9311

Prairie Valley Road, Summerland, BC. A tea will follow and all are welcome to attend following the Celebration.

Isobel was a giving person and a donation, in lieu of fl owers, to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC and Yukon would be appreciated.

She was predeceased by her loving husband Hilton and daughter Lori. Ethel was a loving person, her warm smile welcomed everyone into her home and made them feel like family. She took great pleasure in her beautiful garden, baking for family, and caring for her two dogs. Her positive outlook on life is a cherished memory for us all. Family and friends are welcome to attend a “Celebration of Life” on August 8, 2015 at 2pm at Ethel’s home at 10517A Jubilee Road, Summerland BC.

The Summerland Community Arts Council has been running since 1970 when it started as the combined Summer-land Art Club Coun-cil.

In 1981 it divided into the Art Club and the Summerland Community Arts Council with a mis-sion to promote and facilitate the aware-ness and apprecia-tion for the arts in the Summerland area through edu-cation, action, and advocacy.

One of the ways the council fulfills this mission is by offering classes in a variety of mediums year long and for all ages.

The summer months are dedicat-ed to children’s pro-grams but there are many adult classes offered in the fall and winter months.

The arts coun-cil also supports local artists by hir-ing them to teach classes, having them sell their works in the Main Street Gift Gallery, hiring them to perform at our Wednesdays on the Water summer con-cert series and show-casing them in our annual Art Walk each August.

Each of the pro-

grams can only occur due to the wonder-ful organization by a team of volunteers who form sub com-mittees which are overseen by board members.

Some of the com-mittees run yearlong like our Gift Gallery Committee and our Gallery Show Com-mittee but others are seasonal like the Sea-sons Sparkles Com-mittee, the Commun-ity Banner Commit-tee and the Summer Arts Program Com-mittee.

The volunteers all share one thing in common: an appre-ciation for the arts.

Volunteers do not have to be artists or art experts, they only have to be will-ing to lend a hand in fulfilling our mis-sion.

We also have vol-unteers who sit for three hours once a month in the gift gallery and welcome visitors to view the gallery show.

If you would like more information on

the various ways to get involved with the Summerland Com-munity Arts Coun-cil stop by our Main Street location or call 250-494-4494.

Wednesdays on the Water July 28 will fea-ture the South Oka-nagan Big Band – an 18-piece dance band that enjoys playing swing tunes of the 1930s and 40s.

W.O.W. hap-pens every Wed-nesday night at Spirit Square, Peach Orchard Beach from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Don’t forget your lawn chair… and your dancing shoes.

Featured artist

of the week for July 24, 25, 27, 28 will be Greta Kamp. She was born in Blairemore, Alta. but now resides in the Okanagan Val-ley.

She majored in art at the University of Calgary and also studied advanced oil painting at the Alberta College of Art and Design. Her works have been pub-lished in the Calgary Albertan and she has won art awards such as the McAra Award in 2000.

Kamp’s works are regularly accepted into the Calgary Stampede Western Art Auction and she has most recently fin-ished a commission of 12 paintings for the Liquidity Wines in Okanagan Falls in 2014.

Carmen McDow-ell is the Sum-mer Arts Program coordinator for the Summerland Com-munity Arts Coun-cil, P.O. Box 1217, 9908 Main St., Sum-merland, B.C. V0H 1Z0.
