Recycling rules changePlastic bags and wrap not allowed in blue bags

by John Arendt

Summerland’s blue bag recycling regulations have changed and as a result, some items which had been accepted for curbside recycling in the past will be left behind.

Don Darling, director of engineer and public works for the municipal-ity, said the regulation changes are the result of the Multi-Material British Columbia recycling pro-gram, which took effect in May.

Milk cartons and plas-tic clamshell food pack-ages are allowed in the blue bags under the new

regulations, but plas-tic grocery bags and clear plastic wrap is not allowed.

Although the milk cartons and clamshell packages had not been allowed in the past, some had been including them with their recyclable materials.

Plastic bags and plastic wrap can be recycled, but

not through the curbside pickup service.

“These can be recycled at the landfill, but they can’t be put into the blue bags,” Darling said.

He added that the new recyclable collection regu-lations, which took effect last week, are mandated by the province and can-not be adjusted by indi-vidual communities.

Information about the new recycling changes has been distributed to Summerland residents. It is also available on the municipality’s website at summerland.ca.

Mayor Janice Perrino said the exclusion of plastic bags will be an inconvenience for many Summerlanders.

The sponsor of a new category in this year’s Summerland

Fall Fair hopes to encourage Summer-landers to beautify

the community.Frank Martens

said the Best Front

Yard category in the fair was inspired by European homes and yards, especially in Switzerland and Ger-many.

“I think Summer-land could use a lit-tle sprucing up,” he said.

Hoping to inspire the same beautifica-tion efforts locally, he set up the Fall Fair category, spon-sored by Martens Orchard.

“I thought I’d up the ante a bit in terms of a prize,” he said. “It might encourage some people to do something.”

Residents are encouraged to send pictures of their yards at least two weeks before the Fall Fair in September.

In addition to the Best Front Yard cat-egory, a Best Eco-Friendly Front Yard category is also included.

Martens said the eco-friendly sec-tion was included as xeriscape gardening has been gaining in popularity.

Depending on the success of this year’s Best Front Yard com-petition, Martens may include it in the fair for future years as well.

Front yard category added to Fall Fair

Dance concertThe Summerland School of Dance held their year-end concert this past weekend, celebrating Canadian music and artists. Performing Oo Baba Loo (Beginner/Novice Tap) are Katelyn Beattie, Morgan Heidrich, Isabel Pastulovic, Lucille Thomas-Despins.

Legal Phrases in Pop Culture

A recent article by Jeffrey Miller in the Canadian Bar Association’s magazine the “National” referred to legally minded phrases that people use all the time likely without knowing their exact origins. Here are two:“Round up the usual suspects” - Movie buffs and Humphrey Bogart fans will instantly recognise that as the classic line spoken by Claude Rains as “Louis Renault” the French Vichy Prefect of Police in the movie” Casablanca.” Of course, Louis knew who had committed the crime, but he was in no rush to uncover the real culprit, our hero “Rick.” That line is said to have inspired the idea for a more recent movie called appropriately enough “The Usual Suspects.” A very good movie known for its all-star cast and its surprising final minute reveal.“Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time” – Many younger people will say that they have heard Snoop Dog or the group Ub40 sing this line. Many older people will wonder who Snoop Dog or Ub40 are! The reality is that the line was first sung by Sammy Davis Jr. in the mid-1970s. It was written into a theme song for the TV Cop show “Baretta” starring Robert Blake. The rest of the story is of course that Mr. Blake went on to have quite a checkered legal history.

Continued from Page 1“For many of us,

the bulk of our recyc-lables is soft plastics,” she said.

“This is the most inconvenient system. We have to find ways to make it more con-venient.”

Darling said the biggest change will be with the plastic bags, film and wrap.

He said munici-pal representatives will meet with offi-cials from Green By Now to see if there is another way to keep plastic bags from

ending up in the landfill.

Perrino said muni-cipal council and staff are considering ways to accom-modate plastic bag recycling.

One idea which has been proposed would involve stra-tegic sites in the core of the commun-ity where residents could drop off their plastic bags.

Adding a staffed recycling depot downtown is not an option, Perrino added.

“The idea of this was to save us

money, not to cost us money,” she said.

Strategies examined for plastics

The Okanagan Regional Library will hold an open house to present the initial plans for the new Summerland branch.

The open house will be held Tuesday, June 10 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the existing library branch on Wharton Street.

The new library branch will be con-structed at the cor-ner of Main Street and Henry Avenue, where the former municipal building and a garage are now situated.

Urban Arts Archi-

tecture of Vancouver has been awarded the contract to design the new building.

“We know the community can’t wait to walk through the doors of the new library and choos-ing an architect that can provide a superb quality of work and meet our timelines was very important for us,” said Cather-ine Lord, chair of the Okanagan Regional Library board.

The architect will work with Tango Project and Con-struction Manage-ment, the project manager for the new

building.Michele Rule,

c o m m u n i c a t i o n s manager for the regional library, said the library will take possession of one property in early July and the other in early August. Then, the existing buildings on both properties must be demolished before construction of the new facility can begin.

“With any luck, we’ll start building in September,” she said.

The completion date is scheduled for next spring.

“The community’s excited,” Rule said.

“The librarians are thrilled and the board is totally sup-portive.”

The Summerland Community Arts Centre, which had occupied the muni-cipal building for the past 16 years, will use the former Willowbrook Lane building on Main Street as an interim location, while the Summerland Pot-ters’ Guild, also in the municipal build-ing, will use a build-ing on Victoria Road North as its interim location.

Architects to show plans for new library

Winning teamStudents from Summerland Secondary School won the top prize in the Hands-on Cook-off Contest video competition. From left are home eco-nomics teacher Marnie Mennell and students Blayne Chermsnok, Krista Goss and Abram Cutt. Missing is Julia Belmonte.

A video produced by Summerland Sec-ondary School stu-dents has won the top prize in a provincial competition.

More than 50 video entries from across the province were entered in the Hands-on Cook-off Contest.

The contest, organized through Better Together B.C., was to promote cooking in the home so young people can reap the benefits of cooking together, such as better nutri-tion and health, bet-ter connection and

improved school performance.

“Cooking together is beneficial in many ways,” said Marnie Mennell, home eco-nomics teacher at the high school.

Four students were involved in the video where they prepare a meal together.

“The four just showed how cooking together can be fun and it’s a good thing to do,” she said.

Prize money from the video will go to improvements at the courtyard at the high school.

At present, there

are some gardening beds set up in the courtyard area.

VICTORIA – The B.C. Lib-eral government’s bill to divide the Agricultural Land Reserve into two zones has passed, after one of the nastier exchanges I’ve seen in a decade covering the B.C. legislature.

“You’re all a bunch of corrupt liars,” NDP a g r i c u l t u r e critic Nicholas Simons yelled as the govern-ment cut off a long and most-ly repetitious debate that dominated the final days of the legislature session.

Not to be outdone, cabinet minister Bill Bennett replied to Simons’ heckle about  Koo-tenay rancher Faye Street, one of Bennett’s most vocal sup-porters as he pushed through changes to the land reserve to ease land use restrictions in rural zones.

Bennett advised Simons to offer his remarks to Street in person.

“She’ll kick your ass,”  Ben-nett said.

The on-the-record debate wasn’t much better. Columbia River-Revelstoke  NDP  MLA Norm Macdonald summed up his party’s biggest objection with his charge that “a bunch of Liberal political hacks” will be appointed to regional panels of the Agricultural Land Com-mission.

The government’s  scheme, Macdonald and other NDP crit-ics predicted, is to unleash a flood of ALR land removals, to enrich B.C. Liberal supporters

by allowing development on productive farmland.

That might be a valid con-cern, but there are a couple of factual problems.

First, every appointment to the ALC, at the regional or provincial level, is made by the B.C. government. It’s been that way since the Dave Bar-rett administration set it up in 1973.

Second, the regional panels are not new.

The B.C. Liberals imposed them in 2003. If this was their method of corrupting the pro-cess to dismantle the ALR, that would have largely happened in the years since.

Surely by this time they would have found enough greedy political hacks who hate farming to subvert the process.

I’ve written before about the legitimate concerns of places like Merritt and Vanderhoof and Dawson Creek, where some ALR rules and decisions simply don’t make sense.

Strict secondary residence rules are needed in areas with non-farm development pres-sure. In most rural areas, they are a mistake, and are frequent-ly ignored.

The debate wasn’t entirely devoid of honesty and civility.

Macdonald interrupted his string of baseless accusations to note that under the current system, 75 per cent of exclusion applications in the Kootenay region are approved.

If that’s the case, what is really broken that needs to be fixed?

It’s a good question that  the  

government did not adequately answer.

And credit also goes to the new agriculture minister, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick, who inherited a public relations mess left by the brief and boneheaded perform-ance of Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm.

Braving the heckling at the end, Letnick put aside his par-tisan talking points and gave his personal assurance that the government’s intention is to support farming in those places where non-farm income is the only thing that keeps people on the land.

As soon as the theatrics had died down, the B.C. NDP sent out a fundraising plea to its members to help “save” the ALR.

The party is broke and des-perate after losing its fourth straight election, and it hopes to activate its declining donor base by portraying the changes as the imminent slaughter of its most sacred cow.

Voters have three years before the next election to assess this situation.

If there is a flood of exclu-sions of prime agricultural land, then the NDP will be able to make its case that its warnings were at least par-tially true.

If this does not take place, then the government’s position will be vindicated. We’ll find out the truth.

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

B.C. teachers are in the second week of rotating strikes and job actions in the dispute with the province.

This dis-pute, with exams and graduation just days away, results in significant disruptions for students and their families.

While the dispute must be resolved fairly, it is most immedi-ate is to ensure the students are not inconvenienced.

The needs of the students must come first.

It was a celebration of move-ment as members of the Sum-merland School of Dance held their annual concert on the weekend.

D a n c e involves disci-pline and many hours of prac-tice for those who wish to do well and move gracefully. The pur-suit of excellence is by no means effortless.

The results of the hard work and dedication could be seen as the dancers took to the stage.

recyclingChanges to curbside col-

lection of recyclable materi-als could result in more recyclables ending up in the landfill.

The changes took effect in May and are a result of the Multi-Material British Columbia recycling program.

Plastic grocery bags, plastic film and plastic wrap will no longer be accepted in the blue bags, even though these items can be recycled.

Those who wish to take them for recycling must make a trip to the landfill and drop them off at the recycling bins there.

This change is puzzling since the recycling of plastic bags is now less convenient than ever before.

When Summerland introduced recycling, an unstaffed depot was set up near the Summerland Arena. Customers who took their materials to this depot had to sort cans, plastics, cardboard and paper and put each into designated bins, but the depot was centrally located.

Later, curbside service added a level of convenience as materials no longer had to be sorted and could be picked up at the curb.

While curbside pickup remains, some common items will no longer be accepted.

The depot is now at the landfill, in an area far from the core of the community. Hours of operation are limited.

The municipality’s system fits with the Multi-Material British Columbia regulations. But it is not convenient for those the end users.

If the goal is to encourage recycling and diverting recyc-lable materials from the land-fill, something has to change.

Plastic bags and wrap make up a significant amount of a typical household’s recyclable materials. It seems senseless to exclude these items from the blue bags.

If the Multi-Material British Columbia program is to pro-mote recycling and reduce waste, the service must change to become more con-venient.

THE EARLY YEARS

Everyone loves a paradeWhen it comes to parades, Summerland has always generated entertaining processions full of music, marvellous floats and loads of fun. In 1956, celebrating Summerland’s Golden Jubilee, our community float duly impressed the spectators. Presiding over it, dressed in a golden gown with her arms and head painted gold, Louise Atkinson was the sensation of the day. The 2014 Action Fest parade on Saturday probably won’t feature a Golden Girl, but it’s sure to offer an abundance of fun and spectacular sights. Take your lawn chair to town on Saturday morning and enjoy the party!

Education numbers don’t add upDear Editor:I have a pile of

student writing that I should be editing and marking tonight, however, because of the lock out order issued to teachers, I cannot mark in the evening.  

Instead, I thought I’d wonder about some numbers.

Whenever I hear a number stated as a payment I will have to make, my ears perk up.  

B.C. government negotiator, Peter Cameron declared that teachers’ “demands” would cost every B.C. citizen $1,100.  

I surmise that this

calculation is based on the fallacy that every dollar that the B.C. govern-ment collects is out of your pocket and mine.  

B.C.’s total rev-enue (from the B.C. Government web-site) is $43.95 billion. B.C.’s population is 4,400,057.

Doing division, taught to me by my primary teachers in public school, I arrive at a figure of $9,988.51 per person.

Since I have a family of four, this equals $39,954.04

But my family, with two incomes (both incredibly over-paid B.C. teachers),

does not pay $40,000 in taxes to all levels of government com-bined.

B.C. Liberals spent $66 million out of the Ministry of Children and Family Develop-ment budget on nothing according to the representa-tive for children and

youth, Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond.  

They spent more than $6 million on Basi and Virk’s legal fees.

They spent $514 million on the B.C. Place roof.

They continue to spend money appeal-ing a court verdict which they’ve lost

twice. This list is not complete.  

The government is trying to scare you into thinking your taxes will skyrocket if you pay teachers fairly.

They are spinning the numbers to scare people.  

Kevin J. EppPenticton

Dear Editor:The District of

Summerland coun-cil and staff have rejected or deferred on an infill lot pro-posal on Howis Cres-cent.

To quote Coun. Lloyd Christopher-son, “Any decision must consider the existing area. I think there has to be some respect to the charac-ter of the neighbour-hood.”

Without any change to any infill zoning or bylaws by council and staff in power, there will never be any infill in Summerland.

This same council and staff that are in control are wanting to remove 200 acres

of prime agricul-tural land from the Agricultural Land Reserve.

There is no con-sideration for the area and no respect for the character of the existing neigh-bourhood.

The council and staff will do every-thing to rezone and accommodate the removal of the land from the ALR.

Other cities and municipalities will change zoning and bylaws to accommo-date infill, but not Summerland.

I doubt very much that this council would ever really allow infill.

Reinhold ProchnauSummerland

Council didn’t allow infill lot Dear Editor:

Forests are a remarkable treasury for a healthy land-scape sheltering wild-life, protecting the soil, slowing the melt, purifying the air and protecting waterways.

Forestry has always been a huge industry in B.C. but it has required good management and dir-ection by the govern-ment using the B.C. Forest Service of pro-fessional workers.

It is an industry

that demands long-term planning; we plant and care for today for harvests two, three or more generations to come.

This is not happen-ing today as it should.

The Forest Service has been so depleted it can no longer carry out inspections, do research or silviculture work, keep a current inventory on which to base annual allow-able cut figures, or to make accurate counts for proper stumpage

payments by the for-est companies.

To show the demands on the For-est Service today, com-pare the U.S. Forestry 2,700 hectares per for-ester with the 232,000 hectares per forester in B.C. We ask the B.C. forest professional to do an impossible job.

Forest compan-ies have been given some of the work of overseeing their own activities. But there are glaring examples appearing of over-

large cuts (500 Ha), of good wood being put into slash and burn piles, of nothing left in cut areas to protect seedlings and nourish the soil.

As well, high altitude logging is removing trees 150 and more years old.

They may well take 200 to 300 years to reach the size they are today, leaving a vul-nerable environment for all life nearby.

It is imperative that the government

begin at once to rem-edy this situation. The increase in forest exports could other-wise be the cause of a disastrous decrease in timber supply with the resulting future losses of employment and financial health.

Contact Dan Ash-ton MLA with your concerns on behalf of this vital renewable resource. Demand full care for the future sta-bility of the industry.

Dear Editor:This fall there will be a

new set of entries in the Fall Fair. 

We hope that as many people as possible will consider entering the new Front Yard Category.

Martens Orchard is offer-

ing the following prizes: First prize Best Front Yard, $100; second prize Best Front Yard, $50; first prize  Best Eco-Friendly Front Yard, $50; second prize Best Eco-Friendly Front Yard, $25.

Persons interested in entering these two categor-

ies will be asked to submit four by six inch (or larger) photos of their yards at least two weeks prior to Fall Fair so that judges will be able to make comparisons of the entries by observing first hand all entrant’s yards.

There is still plenty of

time to get started or to make changes to make your front yards more attractive.

Further details will be available from either the Fall Fair Committee or phone Frank at 494-4666.

The Summerland Charity Shop Society - Penny Lane is looking to support a community legacy project for youth in Summerland. Since 2003, Penny Lane has provided over two million dollars to a variety

of youth projects which have included school counsellors and breakfast programs, SADI, the young writers club and many others. Penny Lane is now looking to provide financial support for a project

that impacts the majority of youth in our community.

If you or a friend has an idea for a legacy project, Penny Lane is interested in hearing from you. Please send a 1 or 2 page proposal that includes your legacy project idea, contact information, and a budget to [email protected] by June 15, 2014. Legacy projects must have a budget in the range of $100,000 to $400,000. While all projects will be considered, preference will be given to projects that provide benefit to the majority of youth in Summerland. Penny Lane reserves the right to accept or reject any or all of the proposals. The proposals will be reviewed and

successful applicants will be contacted by July 30, 2014.

We would also like to encourage charitable organizations to submit youth projects to Penny Lane’s Legacy Fund with the South

Okanagan Community Foundation.

MP will run in new riding in 2015 federal election

MP Dan Albas will seek re-election in the next federal election, but the r i d i n g he hopes to repre-sent did not exist when he was first elected in 2011.

O n Monday, Albas was declared the Conservative Party of Canada’s nominee for the newly formed Cen-tral Okanagan-Simil-kameen-Nicola rid-ing.

The Conservative Party’s nomination process began May 1 and ran for two weeks. The nomina-tion period closed on Thursday, May 15.

Albas was the only candidate nomin-ated.

Mark Ziebarth, president of the Cen-tral Okanagan-Simil-kameen-Nicola Con-servative Association said the riding is new, but not dramatically different from the rid-ing Albas now repre-sents.

While Penticton is no longer included, West Kelowna has been added.

“It’s still a strong Conservative riding,” he said.

Penticton will be part of the new South Okanagan-West Koo-tenay riding.

Ziebarth said the federal Conservatives have already selected their candidates for roughly one-third of the 338 ridings in Canada.

The federal elec-tion is expected to be held in October, 2015.

Owner and choc-olatier Lesley Vais-anen is working on a new Okanagan fruit range of choco-lates, and is also con-necting with Sum-merland wineries to create unique wine and chocolate pairing experiences.

Look for details of an open house at My Chocolate Crush later this month.Renovations

Summerland stu-dents excelled in a public speaking com-petition on May 27.

The School District 67/Rotary Public Speaking Competi-tion was organized by the school district and the Rotary Clubs of Summerland and Penticton.

Emceeing this event were Taylor Arkesteyn, Sum-merland’s Blossom Queen and Kate-lyn Michaud, Miss Rotary.

Donations from the event were given towards a school humanitarian trip to Tanzania for assist-ance in a needy orphanage.

This competition showcased students of School District 67 and gave them an opportunity to present their pub-

lic speaking skills, enhancing their pro-fessional and person-al development.

Speakers were critiqued by a panel of judges marking poise, gestures, eye contact, voice projec-tion, fluency, control and overall perform-ance.

Winners of the competition were from Summerland Secondary School unless otherwise stat-ed.

Grade 10: First Katrina Fricke, second Sylvia Mott, third Caitlin Shaw.

Grade 11: First Colton Van Camp

of Princess Margaret Secondary School, second Hannah Wright, third Emily Okabe.

Grade 12: First Jessa Barber, second Rylee McKinlay of Princess Margaret Secondary School, third Emma McDow-all.

by Carla McLeod Special to the

Review

Imagine what it would be like to throw a party for 15,000 guests. How would you entertain them all when they range in age from one to 100, many of them strangers to each other and unknown to you?

Most importantly, how would you keep it fun and exciting when you’ve been hosting this same party for 32 years?

The Summerland Action Festival Com-mittee has continued to rise to this chal-lenge, year after year. This year will be no exception.

Kim Roberge has been involved since the festival’s incep-tion.

“It started at the bowling alley,” he said. “It was only the bike races and the runs at that time.”

The Parks and Recreation Depart-ment sponsors the Giant’s Head Run and the Man of Steel Triathlon.

“We organize it. We keep the fees real-ly low, due to spon-sors supporting our event,” said Brenda Ingram, who has been on the commit-tee since 1988. “I look after all the sporting events, the slow pitch tournaments, the kids’ fishing derby because they are hap-pening on city prop-erty. We make sure that the area is ready for them and the gates are open”.

Committee presi-dent Pat Bell relat-ed how he first got involved.

“I took the girls to our first Action Fes-tival in 1990. That year I got elected as the president of the Chamber of Com-merce. At that time the chamber ran the dance. I also joined

the Kinsmen and they ran the beer gardens. I started working at both of those and one thing led to another and pretty soon I was running Action Fes-tival.”

He has been doing so since 1996.

The parade is a highlight of the festi-val and Doug Hard-man has been organ-izing it for 12 years.

“In my other life I was a cop and one of my jobs was being the special event coordin-ator. I was looking after parades for the Police Department. I’ve always loved parades,” he said.

Assisting Hard-man this year is Terry Hudson, who had previously been involved with the dance and security.

“There is a lot more involved. The phone is always ringing and once we get all the forms in by e-mail, we have to sort them into an interesting array

for people to watch.” Another popu-

lar event is the beer gardens. The laws have changed in B.C., allowing people to move about at festi-vals with drinks in hand. That will not be happening at Action Festival.

Jason Mathers said if that were to be the case, the whole park would have to be fenced off. “It’s much easier to keep a small area fenced off,” he said.

Involved since 1999, he volunteered in order to support the community and the businesses. “It’s a big chance to show-case our community.”

“The community loves it. It’s an excit-ing time of year”, said Pat Lindsay, another long-time member. “Everyone is so much fun to work with. We get new people com-ing in every year and that kind of livens us up.”

One such new volunteer is Ryan Ruybal. “I grew up in Summerland and played in the ball tournaments, so it’s an opportunity to give back,” he said.

One of the main ways the commit-tee generates income to keep the festival going is by produ-cing their own bro-chure. Juanita Gibney looks after this and works closely with John Karroll, who is responsible for the entire entertainment lineup at the festival.

“We all have our own little niche,” said Gibney. “We all know what we need to do, so there is nobody cracking the whip. It all comes together because everybody knows their job. It is a thing of beauty.”

Summerland’s big-gest party, Action Festival, starts tomor-row evening and your name is on the guest list.

HOW TO SNORKELWITHOUT GETTING SORE ARMPITSIf you’re still reading then I guess the title got your attention. First a little background. A number of years ago I was on a trip to Mexico and had the good fortune to go on a snorkel tour in Puerta Vallarta. During this trip I had only brought along a common men’s deodorant which was as a “24 hour Ultra” variety and for the most part it did its job. It was, however, quite high in alcohol and a number of other ingredients which dried out and irritated the skin. I noticed a little discomfort but not much to complain about, until I jumped into salt water. Since that day I’ve been wary of the type of deodorant I use and I wish to impart my experience to you, good readers, that you may never need to endure what felt, to me, like running sandpaper under my arms, treating the wound with spicy Dijon mustard then setting my armpits on fi re. For you I recommend the following three very effective and gentle deodorants and antiperspirants which are great for sensitive skin, have a scent which appeals to men and women (or no scent at all) and are very effective at controlling underarm odor and wetness.

Summerland Review Thursday, June 5, 2014 L I F E S T Y L E www.summerlandreview.com 15

by Tom FletcherBlack Press

The B.C. govern-ment is sticking to education to keep grad parties safe this spring, rather than increasing penalties for “party bus” com-panies.

Officials are more concerned about under-aged drink-ing at house parties and bush parties than alcohol served in lim-ousines and buses that have become a popular way for young people to go out on the town.

T r a n s p o r t a -tion Minister Todd Stone said party bus operators have been reminded that no open liquor is allowed in any

vehicle, and inspec-tions will continue with violators risking loss of their licences. Party bus operators have changed their websites and adver-tising to emphasize that no drinking is allowed on board.

At a graduation safety event in Vic-toria, RCMP and ICBC representatives stressed that there are grad-related fatalities every spring, and the problem extends to adult-sanctioned par-ties.

Inspector Ted Emanuels, officer in charge of the B.C. RCMP’s enhanced traffic services, said any event or trans-portation where alco-hol is served to min-ors is not a safe grad.

“The misuse and abuse of drugs and alcohol are the under-lying factor in grad events where the police get involved, including physic-al assault, sexual assault, fights and accidental injuries,” Emanuel said. “We know from experi-ence that bad things happen to good kids in these environ-ments. There are also criminal and civil lia-bilities that you need to be aware of.”

On average, there are four teens killed in graduation-related vehicle incidents each year in B.C., with another 1,140 injured.

Jill Blacklock, ICBC’s road safety manager, said parents need to discuss trans-

portation plans with teens before every event they go to, giv-ing them more than one option. Program-ming taxi numbers into their phones and checking transit sched-ules before they go out are recommended.

After grad is over, the summer ahead is a time of parties that need the same kind of planning, Blacklock said.

Emanuels said one of the most difficult jobs in policing is knocking on some-body’s door in the middle of the night to report a fatality.

“Answering that door is worse,” he said. “Our objective is that your kids wake you up at four in the morning and not us.”

Parents warned about graduation party dangers

Net valueThe Summerland Kinsmen Club presented the Pinnacles Football Club with a $2,800 donation for the purchase of four Super 8 nets. The nets are used at Dale Meadows Sports Complex for half-field soccer games for players in the U11 and U12 categories. From left are Kinsmen president Blair Gillingham, vice-president Mike Petkau, Frederik Numsen of the Kinsmen Club, Brad Erb of the Pinnacles Football Club board, Reid Jenkins of the Pinnacles Football Club and Cyndi Ternovoy, club administra-tor of the Pinnacles Football Club.

A Summerland musician will form a choir for children

beginning this fall.Linnea Good said

the proposed choir, for

children between the ages of six and 12, is a natural fit for Summer-

land, since the com-munity has a strong musical tradition.

“I believe in the power of music to transform lives,” she said. “I know so many children who come alive when they’re singing.”

She added that those who are ordin-arily shy or intro-verted often do well when performing their music publicly.

The choir will be an opportunity for

children to experi-ence music rather than a choir with per-formances as its goal.

Good is a sing-er and songwriter who has performed around the world. The choir represents a greater community-based focus for her.

The choir will begin in September, after school on Wed-nesdays. Summer-

land United Church will be the spon-soring locale.

The first module will run from Sep-

tember to December. A second module is planned for January to March.

The Summerland Slug-gers defeated the Penticton Reds in tadpoles league action on Saturday.

Both teams were down on numbers and Garrett Bayston once again showed great sportsmanship when he traded his blue Sum-merland shirt for a Red one, scoring two runs for the home team.

The Sluggers still went on to claim victory with a 9-6 win.

In the first innings, Elliot Chester made an impressive pitching debut for Summer-land, achieving three outs at plate out of the Reds’ first four batters.

The second innings brought five players up to bat for each team, with Casey McDermid pitching for the Sluggers, but the teams were evenly matched and no runs were scored for either side.

In the top of the third, Aydan Yargeau pulled Summerland ahead with the first run of the match and Eve Chester looked promising, when she slugged one into the out-field, earning her a two-base opener, before being tagged out at third base, when McDermid followed her up to bat.

The third innings closed with a 1-0 advantage to Summerland.

When the fourth inning opened, despite the heat, both teams had got into their stride.

First up to bat for the Sluggers, Nash Bayston

scored his first run of the game, followed by Yargeau, who ably claimed his second.

Next up, Gordon Widdis also achieved his first run of the game, and then, hot on his heels came Chester to claim her first, brought home by a hit from her brother Elliot.

McDermid, Branden Tut-kaluk and Elliot Chester all performed admirably at bat, but with a four-run cap on the innings, were pre-vented from reaping their rewards.

Still in the fourth, the Reds countered with a four-run inning of their own, putting the scoreline at an exciting 5-4 to Summerland as the game went into the fifth.

Opening the fifth and final innings, Bayston turned up the pressure with another run; Ben Hrn-cirik made it to second base, paving the way for Yargeau to take his per-sonal score up to three runs in this game, again followed in by Widdis and Eve Chester, each scoring their second.

The Reds responded with two runs, before a near-per-fect play from Summerland pitcher Elliot Chester to Hrncirik at third attained the third out, drawing the game to a close at 9-6.

The Sluggers came home smiling.

Unavailable for Satur-day’s game were Jesse Gregg, Mekenna Quinton and Lucas Koopmans.

LEITH, JAMES ALEXANDERJim passed away peacefully on May 29, 2014 at the age of 91 years. He will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered by Doris, his wife of 68 years; daughters; Dayle (Chuck) Neale, Karen (Bill) Nelson, and Julie Sardinha of Summerland; son, David (Joy) Leith; sister, Jessie (Fred) Jensen; brother, Bill (Marian) Leith; 9 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Jim was sadly predeceased by his brothers,; David and John; sister, Alice (O’Neill); and son-in-law, Joe (Sardinha). Jim was born on November 6, 1922 in Wycliff, BC and grew up in Kimberly. He attended the University of British Columbia earning his M.A Sc. in Chemical Engineering in 1946. It was while studying at UBC that Jim met his life-long love, Doris, on the MacDonald bus and they were married in 1945. After graduation Jim’s fi rst job was teaching high school math in Oliver, B.C. before beginning work in his fi eld of engineering. In 1958 he began work for Crown Zellerbach, where he worked until his retirement in 1981. Life as an engineer meant many transfers between mills and new towns in which to live. By the time that Jim and Doris sold their house in Camas, Washington and made their fi nal move to Summerland in 1995, Jim and Doris had moved a total of 13 times. Jim will be remembered as a man of great compassion, strength and honour. His greatest loves were family, fi shing and gardening (and a rousing game of cards!) – he was especially proud of his tomatoes and roses. After his retirement, Jim and Doris enjoyed annual trips during the winter to Maui and summer vacations in Kimberly, for family get-togethers, fi shing and accordion festivals. A celebration of Jim’s life will be held at St Mary’s Lake in Kimberly in early August.

ARTS PALETTE

David Finnis

This weekend the Summerland Art Club present their Annual Show and Sale on Saturday and Sunday, June 7 and 8 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the lower floor of the Summerland Library on Wharton Street.  

There will be more than 20 painters pre-senting new, original works in watercolour, acrylics, oil, pastels, and pencil.  

This is a wonder-ful opportunity to purchase gifts for people or just to enjoy beautiful art by some of our many talented artists here in Summerland.   

Compl imentary refreshments will be served.  

Admission is free and there will be an opportunity to meet and speak with the artists on Sunday at 3 p.m.

Also this weekend is an opportunity to enjoy Nora Ephron’s play, Love, Loss, and What I Wore, at Oasis United Church.   

Nicola Caven-dish, Elyse Blaise, Mia Harris, Sharon Moriarity, Christa Phillips, Judy Ritcey, and Eleanor Walker present this play reading about women and their relationship to cloth-

ing in their lives.  It is moving and

funny, dark and poignant.  

There will be three performances: June 6 and 7 at 7 p.m. and a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, June 8. There will be a   ‘meet the cast’ reception after the Sunday afternoon performance.

Classes are filling up for the annual Summer Art Program for students ages three to 12 so register soon.  

In addition to favourites like Fun with a Pocket Knife, Once Upon a Time, Music and Movement, Draw-ing and Painting, Wild About Writing, Broadway Bound there will be a new art course this year: Space Junk!   

To find out more call 250-494-4494 or drop by the Art Gal-lery at 9533 Main St., Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. or visit the website at summerlandarts.com.

If you are curious about what is being planned for the new Summerland library

there will be a public open house on Tues-

day, June 10 from 4 to 7 p.m. in the cur-rent Summerland Library.

Everyone is wel-come to attend to view the initial plans for the library and provide input.  

If you are won-dering how things are progressing at the new Arts Cen-tre please check out the photos on the Art Council’s web-site at summerlan-

darts.com and on the SCAC Facebook page at Facebook.com/Summerland-Arts.

If you know of an event you feel should be included in the Arts Palette or on the Arts Coun-cil’s online calendar, please email [email protected] or call 250-404-3225.
