Summerland targeted in rash of break and enters early Monday morning

John Arendt

Four Summer-land businesses were broken into early Monday morning.

Sgt. Stephane

Lacroix of the Sum-merland RCMP detachment said the first call came at 1 a.m., when Pharma-save on Main Street was entered.

A vehicle smashed the front door of the pharmacy.

Nothing was taken and police believe the incident may have been a diversion

for later break and enters.

At 1:15 a.m., a sim-ilar break-in occurred at the Kettle Valley Steam Railway.

The fence was smashed and a wall was destroyed.

A safe containing money was taken from the building.

Police say a dark three-quarter ton Ford

pickup truck, with an extended cab, was seen at the site. The truck had an addi-tional red fuel tank.

At 2:30 a.m., the Summerland Golf and Country club was broken into.

Golf clubs were taken from the prop-erty.

Witnesses at the scene provided a

description of the vehicle.

At 5 a.m., Sumac Ridge Estate Winery was broken into.

Police chased the suspect vehicle but later abandoned the chase because of safe-ty concerns.

The four incidents in Summerland are believed connected to a series of break

and enters from West Kelowna to the South Okanagan.

Anyone with infor-mation on any of these incidents is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, send a text to SOSTIPS or leave a tip online at sostips.ca, or con-tact the Summerland RCMP detachment at 250-494-7416.

Accident sceneEmergency workers were called following a vehicle accident on Atkinson Road near Summerland Seniors Village. The accident occurred around 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.

Summerland still has plenty of water in its reservoirs, but the municipality is urg-ing residents to con-serve.

Devon van der Meulen, manager

of utilities for the municipality, said the water system is at 78 per cent of its full capacity.

The system, when full, can hold 14,136 megalitres.

While signs have been set up around the community urg-ing for water conser-vation, the watering restrictions remain at the lowest level.

“We’re still com-fortable in Stage 1 r e s t r i c -t i o n s , ” van der M e u -len said. “We still have rea-s o n a b l e levels of storage.”

Stage 1 restrictions allow residential watering three days a week. Under Stage 2, residential irriga-tion is restricted to twice a week, while

Stage 3 restrictions allow watering once a week.

Stage 4 and 5 restrictions prohib-it residential lawn watering, along with the exterior washing of buildings, win-

dows, parking lots, driveways and side-walks.

The water conser-vation signs were set out in an effort to reduce the communi-

ty’s consumption, in order to avoid more restrictive conserva-tion measures.

“We want to try and conserve as much as we can,” van der Meulen said.

Other B.C. commu-nities have imposed stringent water use restrictions as they cope with drought conditions.

In Summerland, van der Meulen said a change in weath-er helped to reduce water use.

“As soon as we put the signs out, we had rain,” he said.

C o n s u m p t i o n tends to increase when the tempera-ture rises.

Water conservation urged

Members of the Summerland Home-

town Memories group on Facebook are asking for older pictures showing the community in earlier decades.

The group of around 1,600 people was set up to view and post old pictures and discuss mem-ories of Summer-land’s past.

“We are continu-ally looking for older photographs (prefer-ably 30 years old or more) to be shared with the group and

with the museum,” states a message from the group organizers.

Members of the group will scan the photos and will then return them to the owners.

Those who are interested in sharing their historic photos are asked to contact the Summerland Hometown Mem-ories group on Face-book or call Dorothy Inglis at 778-516-3102.

The bad news: Magnesium needs everything (biologically speaking) to be just right for optimum absorption to take place...and it seldom is. That’s why it’s sometimes called the “princess” mineral.More bad news: While calcium and magnesium are both important to bone health, they compete for absorption if they’re taken together and the ratio isn’t exactly right...and it usually isn’t. Calcium is the winner in that contest.Even more bad news: Most Canadians do not meet their Magnesium needs through diet alone. You can’t order many magnesium-rich foods at a take-out window (like beans, legumes, leafy greens and fish). Other magnesium-rich foods like pumpkin seeds, brazil nuts, almonds and cashews are avoided because of fat content. It’s important to note that most nuts and seed are quite nutritious and full of healthy fats, so don’t be afraid of them, just be aware that they do carry more than a few calories with them and some folks need to pay careful attention to that.Let’s have some good news: Magnesium is fairly easy to come by at your friendly neighborhood Pharmasave. While most Canadians don’t get enough through diet, supplementing with Magnesium tablets or liquids is an easy way to get what you need. Start with a lower dose, say 50-100mg per day and increase slowly. Some who’ve taken 250mg tablets right off the bat end up with gastrointestinal issues, like diarrhea. Play it smart. Don’t take it at the same time as calcium either, unless you’ve got a supplement with the right calcium:magnesium ratio (1.2:1 according to some research)More good news: Magnesium can have a positive affect on blood pressure. Taking a magnesium supplement can lower systolic blod pressure by three or four points and diastolic blood pressure by two or three points. For a hypertensive (high blood pressure) person, magnesium can help but won’t take the place of medication when it comes to lowering blood pressure.Even more good news: In addition to lowering blood pressure, magnesium also positively influences heart and bone health. Every time your heart beats your body is utilizing magnesium, so it seems like it might be an important mineral to consider. Magnesium is also an important factor in bone density, particularly after childhood and adolescence. During youth, while we’re developing bone, calcium is the flavour of the day, but for most grownups trying to preserve that bone, magnesium is king.

Summerland Review Thursday, August 6, 2015 N e w s www.summerlandreview.com 3

Voters in Sum-merland and the sur-rounding area have traditionally elected candidates from the political right to the House of Commons, although there have been a few excep-tions.

The first candidate to represent a riding which included Sum-merland was Charles Frederick Houghton of the Liberal Party, from 1871 to 1872.

Since 1872, there have been few instances when the community was not represented by right-wing candidates under the banners of the Social Credit Party, Progressive Conservative Party, Reform Party, Can-adian Alliance and Conservative Party of Canada.

In the 1948, 1949 and 1953 elections, Owen Lewis Jones of the Co-operative C o m m o n w e a l t h Federation (the fore-runner of the New Democratic Party)

was elected.In 1968, Liberal

candidate Bruce Howard was elected for one term.

Most recently, in the 1988 federal elec-tion, NDP candi-date Jack Whittaker defeated Progressive Conservative incum-bent Fred King by

1,342 votes.In the following

election and in ever election since that time, Summerland has been represented by politicians on the right.

Reform Party can-didate Jim Hart was elected in 1993 with 43.59 per cent sup-port.

He was re-elected with 53.06 per cent voter support in 1997.

In a byelection in September, 2000, Canadian Alliance candidate Stockwell Day received 70 per cent voter support.

Day continued to receive strong sup-port in the riding as an Alliance can-didate and later a Conservative Party candidate.

He received 59.25 per cent voter sup-port in November, 2001, 49.8 per cent support in 2004, 50.2

per cent support in 2006 and 58.1 per cent of the vote in 2008.

In the 2011 federal

election, Conserva-tive candidate Dan Albas received 53.6 per cent of voter sup-port.

Conservative traditionIn 2000, Stockwell Day was elected as the Member of Par-liament for Okangan-Coquihalla, receiving 70 per cent of the bal-lots cast. Summerland has been represented by right-of-centre pol-iticians for most of the past 144 years.

Political parties are preparing for the Oct. 19 federal election with can-didates in place in the riding.

In the riding of Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola, incumbent Dan Albas will represent the Conservatives, Angelique Wood will represent the New

Democratic Party, Karley Scott will rep-resent the Liberals and Robert Mellalieu will represent the Green Party.

According to the Elections Canada website, no candidates have been offi-cially confirmed in the riding.

The nomination process closes on

Monday, Sept. 28 The newly created riding includes

a portion of Kelowna, West Kelow-na, Summerland, Merritt, Peachland, Princeton and Logan Lake. The riding covers 16,208 square kilometres and has a population of 104,398.

Winery tourA group of reinsurers visited Okanagan Crush Pad’s newly planted Garnett Valley Ranch vineyard and toured the winery on Tuesday. The Business Risk Management Branch, Ministry of Agriculture, insures numerous agricultural crops including grapes. Most of that risk is held by private reinsurance companies globally. The vineyard tour allowed the reinsurers to see firsthand the type of research and planning the company has done to mitigate its risk and ensure premium quality fruit. The winery tour showcased Okanagan Crush Pad’s use of concrete tanks and other specialized equipment. Winery owners Christine Coletta and Steve Lornie hosted the tour.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Real Estate FraudWhen your Lawyer asks you for Identification, don't be upset, he or she is protecting your property. More and more cases of fraudulent real estate transactions are being encountered and as a result more precautions are being taken to ensure that the true owners are the ones actually dealing with the title.

The BC registration system is different from Ontario's and is not as susceptible to real estate fraud, however, it can and does happen here. Lender's in Ontario such as the Chartered Banks have been requiring that lawyers have mortgage clients produce two types of identification when signing up a mortgage for some time now. This has now become Canada-wide.

In Summerland, we have the luxury of personally knowing most of our clients. That small town benefit doesn’t unfortunately fit in our increasingly complicated world. Even though we know who you are, the financial institutions will still require that we take copies of your ID when you come in for legal services, so get that ID ready.

VICTORIA – Now that the political back-and-forth is over, there are two ques-tions left about the Petronas-led proposal to make the biggest private-sector invest-ment in B.C. history.

Will it actually happen? And is it a good deal or a bad one?

Premier Christy Clark ducked the first question on the day the project agreement for Pacific Northwest LNG was approved by the B.C. legisla-ture.

“After many pre-dictions about the Canucks and the Alberta election, I don’t make predic-tions any more,” Clark said. “But I can say that this project has gone farther than any of our critics said that it would.”

For what it’s worth, my prediction is on record: it will go ahead.

The latest evidence is the company’s con-tinued, costly effort to gain federal and local approval for a suspension bridge to Lelu Island to

minimize the mar-ine impact. Lax Kw’alaams Band members could not have had details on that change from an underwater pipeline when they voted to oppose the project in May.

Is it a good deal? The mayors of Prince Rupert and Port Edward have made their views clear – they see it as a life-line for an area that has struggled for years with a faded forest and fishing industry.

The B.C. NDP is also now clear, hav-ing voted against the project agreement in the brief summer ses-sion of the legislature

that concluded last week.

Whether the pro-ject proceeds or not, this will be a key elec-tion issue in 2017.

NDP leader John Horgan and other MLAs made much of the lack of job guar-antees, pointing to similar projects in Australia.

Natural Gas Development Min-ister Rich Coleman issued a statement with excerpts from the state of Western Australia’s agree-ment for the Gorgon LNG project.

The so-called guar-antees contain quali-fiers like this: “... except in those cases where … it is not rea-sonable or economic-ally practical to do so, use labour available within Western Aus-tralia.”

Obviously there were no job guar-antees, which could only exist in a com-mand economy, in other words a com-munist dictatorship.

Everyone agrees that specialized trades such as weld-ing alloys for low-

temperature oper-ation will be brought in.

And LNG process-ing trains will be shipped in pre-fab-ricated from places like South Korea, as they have been in Australia and else-where.

Pacific Northwest LNG is on record with federal regula-tors that in the latter stages of construc-tion, the use of for-eign labour for the project could reach 70 per cent. Does that make it a bad deal?

Perhaps B.C. could attempt develop this expertise from the ground up. It seems to me that was tried with aluminum ship fabrication, and it didn’t work out too well.

For David Keane, president of the B.C. LNG Alliance, the question is how many large LNG pro-jects, pipelines and all, can be managed at the same time as the Site C dam is being built.

It was skilled labour shortages,

and particularly a shortage of super-visors, that caused Australia to lose some of its proposed projects.

Keane said all LNG proponents here want to use as much local labour as they can, because it’s less expensive and it builds local support.

And he disagrees that B.C. is a sweet deal for the indus-try.

Among other things, pipelines have to be built across two mountain ranges.

Not only that, B.C. producers would pay an LNG income tax, which is a first in the history of the indus-try.

Add to that PST, GST, payroll taxes, municipal taxes and federal and provin-cial corporate income taxes.

Add aboriginal revenue sharing, and we have a deal.

YOUR VIEWS

The writ has been dropped and Canadians are in for an extremely long campaign period for the Oct. 19 federal election.

The minimum campaign period for a federal election is 36 days, but this year’s campaign is more than twice that length.

Some could argue that the major pol-itical parties have been campaigning for this election since the day after the last federal election in 2011, but the dropping of the writ has intensified the campaign.

An 11-week election campaign period is expensive for candidates, political par-ties and the federal government.

Candidates and parties must deal with the costs of advertising and renting space for campaign offices during this time. Elections Canada will also face increased costs for additional staffing and longer leases for returning officers in each federal riding. The amount paid out by Elections Canada in rebates to candidates and par-ties would also increase.

When these additional costs are con-sidered, it is puzzling that the writ has been dropped this early.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party tend to emphasize fiscal responsibility, especially where tax-payer dollars are involved. The increased costs from a lengthier campaign appear to go against such a message.

If a longer campaign period would result in greater dialogue about complex federal issues, higher costs could be justified, but it is unlikely this year’s long campaign will produce this result.

The first five weeks of the campaign, from now until Labour Day, are in the midst of the summer. It is a busy time of year for those in agriculture and tourism. For others, it is vacation season. It is not a time when Canadians are concentrating on political messages.

In fall, when the routines change, Canadians will be willing and able to devote more time to federal politics.

An election call at or just after the Labour Day weekend would allow plenty of time for campaigning, without needless additional expenses.

EDITORIALA lengthy campaign

Dear Editor:On July 24, two

healthy Summerland elders in my area were unceremoni-ously extirpated from their home of at least 100 years.

Fast, clean effi-cient, gone forever in mere hours; only sawdust and stumps mark their passing.

Fortunately, I could not see their d i s m e m b e r m e n t from my place, but the roar of chainsaws and the essence of fir tree resin in my nostrils marked their untimely passing.

For 15 years I watched these senti-nels herald the pass-ing of the seasons, strong winds and the presence of local and migrating birds.

Within an hour of the passing of these venerable citizens, I saw a congeries of raucous cawing crows, spurred by an invisible thread of communication, fly-ing in from all direc-tions, 10 in all.

They made a bal-let of aerial passes at and around the site as they mourned the passing of one their favourite gathering places.

This spring about a dozen healthy vet-eran ponderosa pine and douglas fir trees met the same fate in Trout Creek.

Here for decades, gone in days; the new

owners must have wanted a better view of the street in front of their house.

No doubt this assault left a scar on the psyche of local residents, as I had

experienced, incredu-lous that this import-ant this visual and comforting heritage could be destroyed at the whim of the owners.

Over the years

cycling around Summerland I have noticed this annual, phenomen-on of healthy vet-eran conifers being exorcised on private property.

These trees pro-vide shelter and roosting for wildlife and are important carbon sinks, cleans-ing the air, similar to a water treatment plant, provide oxy-

gen for all life to breath.

Enough I say, it is time for a bylaw to prohibit this trav-esty.

The bylaw would prohibit removal of

these trees without an independent cer-tified arborist con-firming that the tree or trees were a safety hazard.

Flower PowerThis weekend many Summerland residents will be heading south to take in the entertainments and events of the 68th Annual Peach Festival. Our town has always been well represented in the Penticton parade as shown here in 1949 by this float decorated with gladiola flowers from Ernie Ben-nett’s world-famous fields on Paradise Flats. It’s interesting to note that there’s a cow at the end of the rainbow on this float. We’re not sure why.

Century-old trees were cut down

Politicians should consider carbon emissionsDear Editor:As we live through a

hot summer, we are faced with the constant threat of fire and with water shortages in most of B.C.

It is heartening to final-ly hear ongoing public recognition of the fact of global warming and the

warnings that fire threat and water shortages will be a fact of life in the years to come.

It is also heartening to hear that the federal government and some provinces are taking the initiative in the reduction of greenhouse gas emis-

sions. Some provinces have

in fact shown successful action on climate change.

However, the Can-adian effort to reduce greenhouse gas is piece-meal.

Further, the new fed-eral target announced in

May of this year is still weaker than three provin-cial targets and is low by international standards.

I believe the federal government should take leadership on this issue and suggest two ques-tions to put to all can-didates in the now

announced federal elec-tion: Would your govern-ment take the lead in sup-porting and encouraging all provinces to enact legislation to reduce car-bon emissions?

How would your gov-ernment work with the provinces to standardize

and maximize the goals for the reduction of green-house emissions?

Appropriate replies will outline specific future steps and not be vague statements of past actions.

Dear Editor:Re: Tom Fletch-

er ’s (Summerland Review, July 23, Nestlé protest doesn’t hold water).

Mr. Fletcher pulls no punches, call-ing the SumOfUs/WaterWealth petition nonsense in the open-ing paragraph of his piece.

Fortunately none of Fletcher’s punches land, being aimed at places the petition never stood.

As a representa-tive of WaterWealth, I sincerely apologize to Mr. Fletcher if he took the words “suck B.C. dry” literally and mistook the opening comment for the whole conversa-tion.

We had not antici-pated that, and feedback we have received indicates that the public went well beyond that opening comment to understand the

broader issues that the petition was about — primary among them being to ensure that the Water Sustainability Act is sufficiently funded to be fully imple-mented.

The review of rental rates under the act, that the petition sought and that the province promised even before the peti-tion was delivered, is but one more step in the ongoing work to

ensure that the pub-lic’s voice is heard in development of strong regulations for the Water Sustain-ability Act, the first major update of B.C. water law in over a century.

Perhaps Mr. Fletch-er overlooked that the petition text was “Charge a fair price for Canada’s ground-water! Commit now to review the water rates!”

Those rates, ran-

ging from $0.02 to $2.25, apply to some 80 categories of water use.

None of those 80 categories of use can be satisfied with either tap water or a

jug from the fridge.Ian Stephen,

Fire danger rating expected to increase

The fire danger rating in the region is high to extreme and continued hot, dry weather could increase the risk of a wildfire.

Melissa Klassen, fire infor-mation officer with the Kam-loops Fire Centre, said tem-peratures in the upper 30s and low relative humidity are expected to increase the dan-ger rating.

The areas near Clearwater and near Lytton and Lillooet are expected to see extreme danger ratings.

“The wildfire risk is going

to increase substantially in the next couple of days,” she said.

Rain in late July helped to reduce the risk of fires, but the danger rating has increased since that time.

Because of the hot and dry summer conditions, campfires are banned in the region.

At the last weekend of July, forestry crews checked 395 campers in the area, issuing five warnings and three viola-tion tickets.

Campers are allowed to

use propane and gas appli-ances, but they may not have wood burning appli-ances.

Briquettes, if used, cannot be put into a fire pit or on the ground.

“We’re trying to mitigate the risk as best as we can,” Klassen said.

So far this year, 318 wild-fires have been reported in the region, destroying 4,878 hectares.

Of these, 218 were caused by lightning, while 100 were the result of human activity.

BC Liberal back-bencher Mike Bernier is B.C.’s new Educa-tion Minister, while predecessor Peter Fassbender takes over as Community, Sport, and Cultural Development Minis-ter, with responsibil-ity for TransLink as well.

The mini cabinet shuffle announced Thursday by Premier Christy Clark also shifts Coralee Oakes, who previously headed the ministry that deals with muni-cipalities, to Minister of Small Business and Red-Tape Reduction, with responsibility

for the Liquor Distri-bution Branch.

Fassbender headed the province’s nego-tiations with B.C. teachers during last year’s strike. He held out for a negotiated settlement the prov-ince achieved rather than legislating teach-ers back to work, as had been the pattern in several previous teacher strikes.

The removal of TransLink from Transportation Min-ister Todd Stone’s portfolio comes in the wake of the defeat by Metro Vancouver voters of a plebiscite on the creation of a 0.5 per cent regional sales tax to fund tran-sit expansion.

Fassbender, a Sur-rey MLA, has exten-sive history on the TransLink file as a former Langley City Mayor who once chaired the Metro mayors’ council as it tried to persuade the province to grant a new revenue source.

Stone as minis-ter made statements supportive of the mayors’ plan and the new tax but did not actively campaign for it during the plebis-cite required by Clark on any new tax.

Fassbender, along with fellow Surrey MLA Marvin Hunt, was more blunt, at one point speak-ing out against No campaign critics of TransLink’s record.

“Is it totally mis-managed? I don’t believe that, I never have,” Fassbender told Black Press in March, pointing to audits in recent years. “The previous com-missioner looked at it and said it was a well-run organiza-tion.”

Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore welcomed Fassbender’s new role.

“It think it’s a good move,” the Port Coquitlam mayor said. “He has a deep understanding of the legislation and not only the challenges but also the oppor-tunities of being able to work together to find solutions for TransLink.”

Moore noted Fass-bender, when he led the mayors’ council, was “very proud” of the agreement struck in 2010 with then-premier Gordon Campbell to negoti-ate a new funding source. Mayors saw Clark’s promise of a referendum as a betrayal of that deal.

Bernier, a former Dawson Creek mayor with 20 years experi-ence in the natural gas industry, is a first-term MLA for Peace River South.

Clark also shifted Naomi Yamamoto out of the small busi-ness ministry, mak-ing her Minister of State for Emergency Preparedness, under-neath the transporta-tion ministry.

Jordan Sturdy is now parliamentary secretary for energy literacy and the environment under Environment Minis-ter Mary Polak – Ber-nier’s previous post. He’ll also chair the province’s Climate Leadership Panel.

The Summerland Community Arts Council has enjoyed the work of the Oli-ver Rip Off Artists the past five weeks.

This will be their last week featured in the Summerland Gal-lery with their inter-pretations of their 2014 “rip off” pick: Canadian artist Mimi Parent and her 1963 embroidery titled “Queen of the Fish.”

Saturday, Aug. 8 will be the last day to witness these amaz-ing ‘copy cats.’

The annual Art Walk kicked off this past weekend with 34 local businesses and 43 local artists partici-pating.

This walking tour of the downtown area (and a few local wineries) features a variety of mediums.

Paintings, jewelry, pottery, felting, knit-ting, carvings and wood turnings are among the many items on display, many of which are for sale. Maps are available at the Sum-merland Community Arts Centre at 9908 Main St.

Wednesdays on the Water will continue until Aug. 26.

This free musical concert series is great fun for the whole family. We invite families to bring a lawn chair, blanket and even a picnic to enjoy the music.

This Wednesday, August 12th will feature local musi-cians Sean Perdue and Dean Hanenberg who describe them-selves as “Acous-tic Awesomeness!” These two met in 2005 in the city of St. Albert, Alta. and the first time they played together there was instant chemistry.

They moved out to the Okanagan in 2006 and started composing songs together which led to them releasing their first album in January 2010.

Combining clas-

sical guitar, folk, and blues they have pro-duced some truly inspiring instrumen-tals.

These two are no strangers to Summer-land and were the featured musicians at this year’s Café Noir joint fundraiser between the Sum-merland Community Arts Council and the Summerland Potters Guild.

Featured artist of the week for Aug. 7, 8, 10 and 11 is Susan Scott.

Scott has been designing and creat-ing jewellery since 2006. Whether work-ing in sterling silver, copper, brass, bronze or aluminum wire and sheet, each piece has its’ own particu-lar story to tell.

In 2010 Scott start-ed exploring the intriguing world of sheet metals, which resulted in her whim-sical range of door and window hang-ings featuring wild-life of the Okanagan Valley, especially the quails.

You can see some of Scott’s quails play-ing in the window at the Summerland Art Gallery Gift Shop.

Scott enjoys pass-ing on her love of creating by teaching others the techniques of her craft.

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

Summerland Review Thursday, August 6, 2015 L i f e s t y L e www.summerlandreview.com 9

The Summerland Community Arts Council has received $5,000 in EventHost-BC funding from the province.

Penticton MLA Dan Ashton announced the funding on Fri-day. The money, from the province’s Min-istry of Community, Sport and Cultural

Development, is for the Wednesdays on the Water concert ser-ies. The free weekly concerts at Peach Orchard Beach will continue until Aug. 26.

EventHostBC was launched on May 8. It is a one-time funding initiative to encour-age and support com-

munity events that strengthen volunteer capacity for event hosting throughout the province.

A total budget of $250,000 was allo-cated and is being distributed through-out the province’s six tourism regions based on a first-come, first-served model.

“Hosting events not only builds com-munity pride and vol-unteerism, they are also good business for our communities in the south Okanagan,” Ashton said. “Events such as Wednesdays on the Water attract visitors, bring dollars into area businesses and create jobs.”

EventHostBC grant benefits waterfront concert series

Big band soundThe South Okanagan Big Band performed at the Wednesdays on the Water concert series last week. The free weekly concerts will continue until Aug. 26.

Carla McLeodSpecial to the

Review

Summerland lays claim to some of the best beaches in the Okanagan and they were certainly well used on the B.C. Day long weekend. Tour-ists and locals alike headed to the beach-es to enjoy the sun, sand and cool waters of Okanagan Lake.

Of the three main beaches that Sum-merland maintains, Powell beach is the most obscure. Tucked away off the highway in Trout Creek, the beach is a favourite spot for picnics and social gatherings because of the large trees that provide much needed shade on a hot summer day.

The Bushman

family held their annual Christmas in the summer cele-bration there this past weekend. The family finds it easier to reunite during the summer months than in the winter and the relatives from the coast enjoy coming to Summerland.

A ball diamond, tennis courts and a children’s play-ground can also be found at this beach.

Peach Orchard Beach in lower Sum-merland has a large grassy area for those who prefer to spread a blanket on the grass rather than on the sand. It offers a play-ground and water park for the children and a fenced in swim-ming area for dogs.

Rotary Beach is by far the most popu-

lar of Summerland’s beaches.

It is named after Gordon Beggs, a Rotarian who believed Summer-land needed a beach where children could swim.

The beach opened in 1989 after it had been relocated from its original place fur-ther south on Lake-shore Drive. The need to move the beach was the result of Highway 97 being widened.

The Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club, Recreation Commis-sion, Lower Town Residents Associa-tion, Water Skiers Group, Yacht Club members, Corpora-tion of Summerland and the Racquetball Association, all joined forces to complete the

project. A provincial Go BC Grant and compensation from the Department of Highways for the loss of the original beach covered the bulk of the cost.

The Department of Highways employees also transported the sand for the beach and rock for the breaker.

What makes this beach a favourite for the youngsters are

the docks and the nearby pier. It is great fun for them to jump and dive from these structures into the cool waters below.

For the adults it is also a special place. Many locals who visit the beach regularly, have their own spots marked out and can become quite miffed if upon arriving at the beach, they find someone else sitting on their piece of sand!

John and Marilyn Topham can often be seen reading, snooz-ing and swimming at Rotary Beach. Citing the reasons that they choose this beach to come to, John said,

“It’s convenient, clean and the water is good.”

Marilyn also appre-ciates that the beach is groomed regularly and well maintained. “It’s a family friendly beach,” she said.

Carol Doyle spends as many sum-mer afternoons at Rotary Beach as she can. Looking around at the beauty she said,

“My only question is why isn’t everyone down here?”

Yes indeed. There is still

another month of summer left to get out and enjoy one of the greatest gifts Summerland has to offer…our beaches.

Beaches busy on long weekendGathering at the beachBeaches in Summerland were busy on the long weekend. Seated at the table from left are Susan, Bud, Deanna and Nancy Bushman, with the rest of their clan in the background. They were at Powell Beach on the weekend to celebrate their family’s annual Christmas in summer.

Water parkThe water park at Peach Orchard Beach is a popular attraction for children during the hot summer days. The warm weather on the long weekend brought many residents and visitors to Okanagan Lake.

LEISURE TIMES

Horseshoe play-ers from around Brit-ish Columbia and beyond will be in Summerland on the weekend for the Sum-merland Horseshoe Club’s 59th annual tournament.

Ron Moser, presi-dent of the club, said 35 to 40 players are expected for the tour-nament.

“It’s probably one of the oldest tourna-ments going on in town,” he said.

At present, there are 16 to 18 active members in the Sum-merland club, includ-ing several who have competed at prov-incial and national competitions in the past.

While the weekend tournament does not have advancement for top players, it is sanctioned by the B.C. Horseshoe Asso-ciation. Statistics will be recorded by the organization.

Horseshoe players gather for tournament

Walking into the doors at the Summer-land Arena this past week was almost like stepping into a neuroscience lab.

Gold in the Net (GITN) hockey camp for goalies are using the latest technology to enhance perform-ance.

Most people have not experienced a bio-feedback machine or visual-motor sensory stimulating machine but these are some cutting edge tools they have brought to town for their camp.

Dynavision has been the secret train-ing weapon for NHL teams for about a decade.

This visual-motor sensory machine helps improve per-ipheral vision and reaction time under stress. This skill level for a goalie can be a determining factor to make or break their career.

The Dynavision

board stands approxi-mately seven feet tall with small lights spaced out over the entire area.

At eye level there is a small blue com-puter screen for the athlete to stare at while a light flashes in the periphery. The athlete touches the light as quickly as they can while main-taining their eyesight forward, then the next light immediate-ly illuminates.

This fast-paced exercise continues for about a minute.

The machine has the ability to display numbers into the small centre screen which they are to call out while touching the lights for a more dynamic, stressful challenge.

Reilley Elder-Cherry, 17, goalie for the Fort St. John Flyers AA Tier II Midget team explains that after using the machine for a week,

“I feel the differ-ence already. I can read plays better and it helps open up my peripherals. I have better tracking with the puck and it doesn’t seem like it’s coming as fast any-more. It really helps.”

Their goal is to be 0.5 of a second or less for their average reac-tion time.

It’s no wonder this Dynavision light-training reac-tion device that was designed for all types of ath-letes (race car driv-ers, football players, baseball players), was soon discovered to be a versatile tool for rehabilitation of concussions, brain-injuries, visual field-deficits and even stroke victims.

Bob Simpson, who works with GITN on mental training shows me another tool they are using. He hooks me up to their emWave pro-gram by attaching a

monitor to my ear-lobe.

I thought it simi-lar to a biofeedback machine but emWave works with emo-tions and breathing to monitor coher-ence levels instead of measuring brain-waves.

Dr. Alan Watkins who lectures on TEDx Talks explains that connecting to our basic physiology (breathing, heart rate) is the foundation that creates a chain reac-tion to our overall performance.

He explains that the streams of electro signals from inside our body (heart, joints, lungs, diges-tion etc.) send out streams of data that in turn affect our emotions, feelings, thinking, behaviour and ultimately per-formance/results .

By tuning into our physiology and being aware of our body we are able to learn how to take control of it.

This is important for athletes when they are under pres-sure.

Bob Simpson explains that the pro-gram helps athletes find their own unique ideal performance state and how to stay there amidst distrac-tion and pressure.

Finding your ideal performance state may be a big task, but when starting to learn these skills at 17, this personal awareness may be honed over the next five to 10 years which could help lead them to the sports career of their dreams.

Beyond sports, this technology can help reduce stress, improve health, emotional manage-ment and perform-ance wherever their careers and life may take them.

Summerland Review Thursday, August 6, 2015 S p o r t S www.summerlandreview.com 13

John Arendt

It was a gruelling three-day competi-tion as top endurance athletes from around the world competed in the Ultra520 tri-athlon on the week-end.

The final day of the triathlon, an 84.4-kilo-metre run beginning in Princeton, ended in Memorial Park in Summerland on Monday afternoon.

Spanish triathlete Juan Arroyo, 32, was the first finisher on Monday with a run time of 7:17:32, but the overall vic-tory went to Kate Bevilaqua, 38, an Australian triath-lete.

Bevilaqua was the second finisher in the run with a time of 7:32:06, but her over-all time of 24:16:27 put her in first place overall.

This is the first time a woman has been the overall win-ner in an Ultraman competition.

Bevilaqua has won the women’s division in Ironman events in Australia, Kentucky and Korea.

She has also had numerous finishes at the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii.

“We are very excit-ed to have an athlete with Kate’s creden-tials doing Ultra520,” said race director Steve Brown prior to the event.

“I know she has been training hard for the Ultra while keep-ing her other training up, so she is going to treat us all to a great show of athletic abil-ity.”

In the first day of the competition, Bevilaqua finished in first place.

The first day had competitors in a 10-kilometre swim and a 149.8-kilometre bike ride.

The second day was a 275.8-kilometre bicycle race.

Bevilaqua was the fourth finisher on the second day, and in second place overall in the first two days of competition.

She said the last 100 kilometres of the bicycle component were the most diffi-cult part of the entire event.

While she was dis-appointed with her

finish on Sunday, her crew members helped her prepare for the double mara-thon on Sunday.

“My goal was to have a good run,” she said, “and the run was beautiful.”

She was impressed with the three-day endurance event.

“It definitely exceeded all of my expectations,” she said. “I had an amaz-ing time.”

Speaking through a translator, Arroyo, the overall win-ner among the male competitors, said the swim portion was the most difficult, but the run on Monday was the highlight of the event.

H e s a i d he was h a p p y with his results.

A total of

25 competitors, all of them previous Ironman finishers, were entered in the Ultra520K triathlon, although five did not complete the three-day event.

Athletes from Canada, the United States, Australia, Spain, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Japan, Kazakhstan,

Mexico and Guate-mala competed.

There were six women and 19 men in this year’s event.

To qualify, ath-letes must complete at least one iron dis-tance race in 14.5 hours or less during the past 18 months.

Bevilaqua wins Ultra520 triathlon

Top finisherKate Bevilaqua of Australia had the over-all fastest time in the Ultra520 triathlon on the weekend. The three-day endurance event ended in Sum-merland on Monday.

At the finish lineRace director Steve Brown presents Juan Arroyo with a medal at the finish line at the Ultra520 tri-athlon. Arroyo was the first to complete the 84.4-kilometre run portion in the three-day event.

“My goal was to have a good run and the run was beautiful.”
