Penny Lane proposes site on school property

by John Arendtand Joe Fries

The Summerland Charity Shop Society - Penny Lane has proposed a skateboard park for the northeast corner of the

Summerland Secondary School property.

School trustees are expected to vote next week on a skateboard park plan, which would be located on the north-east corner of the Sum-merland Secondary School field near the roundabout at Jubi-lee Road and Rosedale

Avenue, and could wel-come skaters as early as next summer, according to Mayor Janice Perrino.

“You don’t want to get anybody excited, but it’s one of those things where you go to these compan-ies and they pretty well have the layout, so they can do it really quick. It’s a matter of laying the

cement and it’s done,” she explained.

“We’re trying to bring youth into the commun-ity, and this is one more way to do it.”

Perrino and colleagues from district council and the Summerland Charity Shop Society approached the school board last week to pitch a three-way

partnership to build and operate the park.

The school board has been asked to lease the land to the district for $1 a year. The district would then cover the ongoing cost of insurance and maintenance at the site, which would be con-structed by a grant from the society.

The Summerland Community Arts Coun-cil has a space for now, but whether that space will work for the long term is not yet known.

In July, the Arts Council moved into the new location at 9908 Main St., across from its former location.

The former building, used as an arts centre for 16 years, had been sold to the Okanagan Regional Library as the site of a new public library.

David Finnis, president of the Arts Coun-cil, said the move to the new location has had advantages and drawbacks.

“The space is great for visibility. It’s great for the gift gallery,” he said. “It is a good location for us and we feel we are a good ten-ant on Main Street. It adds to the vibrancy.”

Finnis said the disadvantages are that the new location has less overall space and is not as good for an art gallery.

Because the building is considerably smaller than the last location, the permanent art collection is now housed at the Penticton Art Gallery.

“That has now disappeared out of town,” Finnis said. “It’s a loss to the community.”

The new building does not have proper lighting in place for art exhibits, he said.

Because the gallery portion in the new building is not as good as in the old location, Finnis said some artists who have exhibited in Summerland before will not resubmit for shows in the new location.

The open layout also results in sound problems.

Two Main Street buildings will be demolished next week to allow for the construction of a new library building.

Michele Rule, com-munications manager for the Okanagan Regional Library, said crews have been at work preparing the former municipal building and a garage building for demoli-tion.

Fencing is being erected around the site this week.

The contractor for the demolition work will begin work on Monday, with the work completed to the stage of a graded

site the end of next week.

Construction work is expected to begin on Monday, Sept. 15.

A hazmat team has already completed the necessary work required before the two buildings could be destroyed.

The money for the new library building will come from the Okanagan Regional Library Building Reserve.

Funds for the regional library system come from taxation from each member municipal-ity, region and band. Summerland con-tributes less than three per cent of this amount.

The need for a new Summerland library branch has been iden-tified for many years.

At 316 square metres, the exist-ing library space on Wharton Street is less than half the size needed to serve Sum-merland’s popula-tion. The new build-ing will be 743 square metres.

While the regional library system had earlier set Wharton Street as the preferred location for a new library branch, the Main Street location was chosen as there was no viable project in place for Wharton Street.

In the past dec-ade, two different

developers had pre-sented plans to con-struct a large develop-ment with housing units and community spaces on a portion of Wharton Street. Both

times the plans were abandoned before work was started at the site.

Tango Manage-ment has been select-ed as the project

manager for the new library site.

During the con-struction period, there will be a short-term loss of parking spaces, but once the

construction is com-pleted, there will be 11 parking stalls at the site and two along Main Street due to a change to parallel parking.

Library site preparation begins

Continued from Page 1While the gallery space

can be upgraded with more suitable lighting and changes to the interior walls, a more pressing question has to do with the cost of the space.

For this year, the munici-pality is covering the rent pay-ments on the new Arts Centre space, but a long-term fund-ing commitment is lacking.

If the rent for the new

facility is not covered by the municipality, the Arts Coun-cil will require an additional $1,800 a month to pay for the space.

There has been some discus-sion about providing the exist-ing library building on Whar-ton Street to the Arts Council once the library has moved to its Main Street location.

Finnis said the long-term future of this location is also

uncertain.In the last decade, the block

of Wharton Street which includes the library has twice been considered seriously by developers.

“We don’t want to move anywhere temporary again,” Finnis said.

He added that the Arts Council’s volunteers had a lot of work in late spring as they moved to the new location.

Rent of facility would cost $1,800 a month

POLICE rEPOrt

by Steve KiddBlack Press

The Mexican Con-sulate in Vancouver says appropriate steps are being taken to look after migrant workers employed in the Okanagan and across Canada.

According to Ramón Moreno, coordinator of the Seasonal Agricul-tural Workers Pro-gram, the consulate works to promote the interests and ensure the protection of the rights for more than 18,000 Mexican nationals that partici-pate in the program every year in Can-ada.

“We work close-ly with Canadian authorities at the local and provincial levels in order to ensure that labor conditions are met, and prop-erly enforced in cases of noncompliance. Housing is a crucial aspect in the SAWP,” wrote Moreno in an email to Black Press. He confirmed the consulate recently arranged for the transfer of two Mex-ican workers that were working under substandard condi-tions in a farm in Summerland.

“We have been informed that Service Canada will look into the conditions that the workers have denounced, and this Consulate General will work closely with the competent Canadian authorities in this deplorable case,” wrote Moreno.

But the squalid living conditions

that saw the two farm workers res-cued from the Sum-merland farm are not an isolated incident, according to one advocate for worker rights.

Amy Cohen is one of the organizers of Radical Action with Migrants in Agri-culture (RAMA), which is in its second year of working to support the 1,200 Latin American and Caribbean workers employed each year in the Okanagan under the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program.

“Lots of the kind of day to day things we do are transla-tion, interpretation, rides, but also help-ing workers negoti-ate the bureaucracy of Canada,” said Cohen. “A lot of them don’t speak english and a lot of them aren’t familiar with their rights. They are not told very clearly or given copies of their rights in their language.”

Along with pro-viding workers with copies of their rights in their own lan-guage, RAMA also intervenes in crisis cases. Substandard housing isn’t the only issue faced by the migrant workers, which also includes people from Jamaica, Guatemala and other Caribbean countries, who are also partners with Canada and

Mexico in the SWAP program.

“Awful living conditions is one example. There have been other examples like harassment from bosses, bosses steal-ing from workers,” she said. “Anything from physical or sex-ual harassment to verbal and emotional harassment. Those are the most com-mon kinds that we come in contact with and workers tell us about.”

One type of verbal harassment Cohen said they hear about regularly shows why many of these work-ers are afraid to come forward and com-plain, whether it is to their consulate, the B.C. Fruit Growers Association or other groups.

“The boss will fol-low them around and say ‘you better work faster or you’re going

home.’” said Cohen. “Just them complain-ing to us is dangerous for them. What has happened in the past, as long as the pro-gram has existed, is that any worker who is labelled as prob-lematic … is either deported immedi-ately or not brought back the following year. Workers are extremely conscious and aware of that.”

Cohen cites the case of one worker who was injured on the job. His employer refused to take him to the emergency room; RAMA did, however, and also filled out a WCB claim form for him.

“He is not back this year,” said Cohen. “The employ-er said that was for whatever reason but the worker believes it was because he complained and got outside workers

involved.”The government

uses the lack of com-plaints as an indica-tion the SAWP pro-gram is working well according to Cohen, who thinks the real amount of problem situations for the migrant workers is “really, really high.”

“We need random, surprise inspections to look at the housing conditions and the working conditions; have all workers interviewed,” said Cohen. “I wouldn’t want to guess, but the majority of work-ers we speak to have major complaints about living or work-ing conditions.”

BCFGA president Fred Steele said that though they have no formal educa-tion for growers in their responsibilities under SAWP, they do stress that the rules need to be followed, both for the protec-tion of the workers, and to preserve the program, which he considers vital to the industry.

VICTORIA – There was an uproar in the B.C. legislature this spring when Transporta-tion Minister Todd Stone went ahead with $19 million in cuts to low-usage coastal ferry routes.

The plan had been laid out in detail before last year’s elec-tion.

It targeted sailings where ridership was in the low teens or even single digits.

On some sailings the Transport Canada-mandated crew outnumbered the passengers.

Despite the cries of doom, most of the sailing reductions have been managed – with one glaring exception.

The Discovery Coast Circle Tour route saw its ferry from Port Hardy to Bella Coola replaced, using the smallest vessel in the BC Ferries fleet, the open-decked Nimpkish.

This move wasn’t a dir-ect response to low usage, a chronic issue with some of the minor route sailings along the coast.

It was to avoid ordering a replacement for the Queen of Chilliwack, which sailed dir-ectly between Port Hardy and Bella Coola.

This summer the first leg was consolidated with the Northern Expedition, the ves-sel that replaced the doomed Queen of the North on the Inside Passage run up to

Prince Rupert. At Bella Bella, after a layover of a couple of hours, the Nimpkish took over with space for 16 stan-dard vehicles on its deck and a midnight arrival time in Bella Coola.

The direct route had been mainly used by European tour-ists, who sailed from the Lower Mainland to Victoria, drove the length of the Island, ferried to Bella Coola and drove through the rugged Chilcotin to Wil-liams Lake and back down south to complete the circle tour.

The new route incorporated stops in remote outposts Ocean Falls and Shearwater, making it even longer. Warnings came early.

“That’s where 90 per cent of the [BC Ferries] money is being lost, on the milk runs, and that’s the part they are keeping,” Petrus Rykes, a tourism operator at Anahim Lake for 40 years, said in March.

“The part they’ve cancelled was at 70 per cent capacity, the second highest of all the fleet routes.”

Reports of a bad slump have come to pass. The changes meant bookings couldn’t be made until April, too late for most international travelers.

A survey by Bella Coola Val-ley Tourism in mid-summer found most operators losing business, from 10 to 90 per cent.

A bus tour of Canadian sen-iors heading west from Wil-liams Lake was terminated

after 14 years. One tourism operator on

Highway 20 is considering closing down.

Stone and his family took the new route themselves in early August, with the minister offering sunny reports on his blog.

Stone summed up his experi-ence this way:

“At the end of the day, my assessment is that the Nimpk-ish is a good tourism prod-uct if tourists are made fully aware as to the type of service it provides. If correct expect-ations are set, I believe the Nimpkish can be marketed as a valuable tourism component of the Discovery Coast Circle Tour.

“The decision to do this rests squarely on the shoulders of the tourism industry and tourism operators who need to decide whether or not they want this service to work, to grow and to be viable in order to capture a share of the thou-sands of international tourists looking for exactly the kind of adventure the Nimpkish pro-vides.”

Got that, Discovery Coast tourism folks? If this milk run doesn’t work next year, it will be your fault.

Heck, the Nimpkish has free snacks and drinks for your 10-hour voyage, much of it in the dark.

Accidents on Highway 97 are a serious matter.

Over the past week, e m e r g e n c y crews were called twice to multi-vehicle collisions on the highway.

In both cases, road conditions were good, yet the accidents still occurred and some of the vehicle occupants were treated for injuries.

While the summer season is characterized by congestion on the highways, accidents are pos-sible at all times.

The Summerland Museum’s Japanese exhibit, which opened in May, 2013, has been nomin-ated for a national award.

The exhibit is an extensive display, pro-viding inside into the trad-itions and customs of the Japanese people who settled in Summer-land.

It is important to pay tribute to the various groups which make up the community. Exhibits like this one are a way to do so.

ourpickA place

for the artsThe quest for a new library

in Summerland has left the Summerland Community Arts Council in a state of limbo.

In order to allow for the construction of the new library at the corner of Main Street and Kelly Avenue, a municipal building which had housed the Summerland Arts Centre and Gallery for the past 16 years will be demolished.

The municipality has pro-vided the Arts Council with a vacant retail building across the street, but the long-term future of the centre is not known.

The municipality does not own this building, but instead is covering the cost of the rent for the Arts Council.

As councils change, each new council must decide whether to continue this arrangement.

This adds a level of uncer-tainty for the Arts Council, and it represents a change from the previous arrangement.

In the past, the munici-pality had provided the Arts Council with a rent-free facility. This arrangement has worked because the munici-pality owned the building.

One suggestion for the future home of the arts centre has been the existing library branch on Wharton Street. Since this building is owned by the municipality, it could easily be provided to the arts council at no cost.

The biggest drawback to this site is the future of this location. Twice in the past decade, developers have expressed considerable inter-est in a large-scale project for this site. Such a project, when it occurs, would once again displace the Arts Centre.

Over the past 16 years, the arts centre and gallery has become a busy place. There are plenty of programs for children and adults. The exhibits have become more and more sophisticated.

If the community values the arts, then it is important to provide a permanent facility.

The uncertainty does not help to create or main-tain a vibrant arts scene in Summerland.

Attending an accidentEmergency crews responded following a two-vehicle collision on Highway 97 near Johnson Street on Thursday afternoon. At least one person was treated for injuries.

This weekend, a Summerland man will participate in a fundraising walk to fight Parkinson’s Dis-ease.

The 19th annual Parkinson SuperWalk will be held Sunday, Sept. 7 at 10 a.m. at Waterfront Park in Kelowna.

The walk is the largest fundraising event for Parkinson’s Disease. A total of 110 communities in Can-

ada and 21 in British Columbia are partici-pating.

Klaus Kahl of Summerland and the members of Team Valley West Auto have been raising money for several years.

Kahl, 48, is the for-mer owner of Valley West Auto in Sum-merland. He was diagnosed with the disease in 2006 and began participating

in SuperWalk in 2010.Since then, he has

raised more than $18,000.

Kahl said the fund-raiser is an important event in the quest for a cure of Parkinson’s Disease.

The disease is a degenerative dis-order of the central nervous system.

Symptoms include shaking, rigidity, slowness of move-ment and difficulty

with walking. Think-ing and behavioural problems may also develop and depres-sion is the most common psychiatric symptom.

Kahl said living with the disease is difficult.

“It’s been a chal-lenge, but I try to stay positive every day,” he said.

While treatments are available to mini-mize some of the

symptoms, there is no cure.

“Give what you can to support Par-kinson’s Disease research,” Kahl said.

The Parkinson Society of British Col-umbia, a not-for-prof-it charitable organiza-tion, organizes Super-Walk in B.C.

Those wishing to register for the walk or learn more about the disease may visit www.parkinson.bc.ca.

Walk raises money for Parkinson’s Disease

Fundraising effortSurrounded by supporters from Team Valley West Auto, Klaus Kahl, centre, has raised more than $18,000 for Parkinson’s Disease research since 2010. The 19th annual Parkinson SuperWalk will be held in Kelowna on Sunday, Sept. 7.

Continued from Page 1Orv Robson, a

district councillor and society board member, said up to $280,000 is budgeted for the skate park, which would be far more visible than the current version behind the Harold Simpson Memorial Youth Centre, which was constructed in the mid-1990s.

“That location is hidden away,” said Robson, add-ing a more promin-ent spot would be easier to police and allow skateboard-ers to show off their skills to the com-munity. The society considered several locations for a new skateboard park before approaching the school board.

“The partnership with the school dis-trict is by far the number one loca-tion,” he said.

School board chairman Bruce Johnson said his group “appreciat-ed” the presentation on the proposal and is “looking forward to discussing” the skate park at its next regularly scheduled board meeting Sept. 8.

“It’s pretty hard for me to predict what our board of seven will vote, but the comments that were made in

the question per-iod (last week) indicated there is a very favourable response,” he said.

“There were a few concerns of course: liability is huge and also further down the road what plans could be made if it doesn’t work out or in 20 years if people aren’t skateboard-ing?” Johnson con-tinued, noting, how-ever, that Perrino and Robson had answers for those problems.

The Summerland Charity Shop Soci-ety operated the Penny Lane Bar-gain Outlet on Vic-toria Road North from 2002 to 2013, with a second outlet later added on Main Street.

After the store was closed, the Penny Lane board of directors looked for a way to con-tinue a legacy in the community, and in the spring put out a request for projects.

Proposals were to have budgets of between $100,000 and $400,000 and result in a physic-al presence, like a skateboard park.

Since 2003, the society and its latest incarnation have provided more than $2 million for a var-iety of youth pro-jects.

New skate-board park could roll out next summer

Q My mouth is dry all of the

time. What can I do about it?

A I sympathize with how uncomfortable

a dry mouth must be for you. The clinical term we use for dry mouth is “xerostomia.” Sometimes it is part of a clinical condition (like Sjögren’s syndrome), or it can be a side effect of a medication you are taking for anti-depressants, anti-histamines, or sleep medications. It can also be a temporary condition following radiation treatment. Most of the time we can’t change the reason for a dry mouth, but there are methods of managing or alleviating it.

Here are a few suggestions:• Frequent sips of water• Saliva substitutes are available in

most pharmacies• Xylitol-based gum or mints• Rinses and gels--pH neutral or

alkaline (not acidic)•��Humidifier�at�night• Minimize caffeine and alcohol

consumption

These suggestions can make your mouth more comfortable, stimu-late saliva production and help protect your teeth as well.

We’re here to help in any way we can. Feel free to call, stop by, or send us an e-mail message.

We are always welcoming new pa-tients and I’d be happy to answer your question in the next article (anonymously if desired). Have a great week!

Shippers was pleased to show off their new-fangled bin dumper in 1960—a mechanical wonder that made someone’s job much easier and sped up production. Stop in at the museum to see how our packing houses operated even before modern contraptions like bin dumpers were introduced.

Summerland Review Thursday, September 4, 2014 L i f e s t y L e www.summerlandreview.com 7

Soil studyPedro Parra, a winery terroir consultant from Chile, speaks to grape growers about the importance of good soil during a seminar on Aug. 22. Parra was brought to Summerland by Okanagan Crush Pad. Around 55 members of the B.C. Grapegrowers’ Association were at the seminar, held at a vineyard off Garnett Valley Road.

On Aug. 27, police were called to a three-vehicle collision on High-way 97 north of Summerland.

The accident occurred at 7:55 a.m. when a 2008 Honda, travel-ling south, developed a flat tire.

The driver, a 59-year-old Peach-land woman, parked on the shoul-der and waited for a tow truck.

A 1997 Honda, also travelling south and driven by a 59-year-old Vernon man, did not see the first vehicle and collided with it.

A third vehicle, a 1997 GMC pickup, also travelling south and driven by a 49-year-old West Kelowna man, attempted to avoid the accident.

The truck collided with the two

cars, crossed into the north lanes of traffic and flipped onto its side.

The driver of the first vehicle had to be removed from her vehicle using the Jaws of Life.

Both car drivers were taken to hospital by ambulance, with non-life threatening injuries.

The driver of the truck was treated at the scene for minor injuries.

Police, firefighters and ambu-lance attendants from Summer-land were at the scene.

The highway was closed for around one hour following the accident.

Police are continuing to investi-gate this accident.

Emergency crews called to three-vehicle collision

by Carla McLeodSpecial to the

Review

The Summerland Museum has been nominated for the Governor General’s History Award for Excellence in Com-munity Program-ming.

Although it is not clear who made the nomination, it is known that it was based on the museum’s Japanese exhibit, “Doe Shi Kai,” which means Coming to New World with Great Hopes.

The exhibit includes stories, photographs and items belonging to

the many Japanese families of Summer-land.

The nominator wrote: “The exhibit, which opened in May 2013, is very well done and appeals to all ages. Instead of an exhibit committee building it, many in Summer-land’s Japanese-Can-adian community and other volunteers were involved. It is a true Community produc-tion!”

It was in the sum-mer of 2012 that the idea of having a Japanese display was first discussed by the staff and board mem-bers of the museum. It was decided that the display would be ready for opening in

May of 2013, which had been deemed A s i a n - H e r i t a g e month.

Museum board member Bernice Shiosaki visited fam-ilies of Japanese herit-age to hear and docu-ment their stories.

Photographs and items were loaned to the museum, adding to their own artifacts, in order to display the history of the Japanese community in Summerland.

Following archiv-ist Ruth Ten Veen’s vision for the layout of the exhibit, Shio-saki along with Shar-on Stone and a group of volunteers went to work putting it all together.

The result is that when visiting the exhibit one can easily see what the Japanese people may have brought with them when they arrived in Summerland.

Displayed are clothing and pieces of luggage, things they would have used in daily life such as dishes and traditional tea sets.

There are also reli-gious altars used in the Tenriko and Bud-dhist faiths as well as a Japanese translation of the Bible.

Pieces of art work are featured includ-ing woodworking, paintings and dolls, all made by local Japanese artists.

Visitors can also read about how and why the Japanese people migrated to Canada and about the employment and educational oppor-tunities that they took advantage of as well as the story

of how their popula-tions grew.

Also documented are the challenges they faced and how they were treated during the Second World War.

As part of the exhibit there is an area where children can sit down and try their hand at Ori-gami, creating things from folding and cut-ting paper. If they are so inclined they can

learn to write a type of poetry called haiku.

“It’s a community collection that was displayed and could not have been done if the Japanese com-munity did not tell us their stories,” said Shiosaki.

Should the Sum-merland Museum be successful in their nomination, they would be awarded $2500 and a trip to Ottawa to receive the

award at Rideau Hall. A celebration din-

ner will be held which will give the winners the opportunity to network with hist-ory-enthusiasts from all across Canada.

Shiosaki was pleas-antly surprised by the nomination and she is hopeful about winning.

“We would get funds to help with the museum, so that would be awesome,”

she said.Have you visited

the Summerland Museum to view this possible award win-ning exhibit? If not you have until mid-October to do so.

If you know a positive story about someone in our com-munity, contact Carla McLeod at carlamc-leod@shaw.ca or con-tact the Summerland Review newsroom at 250-494-5406.

Exhibit nominated for national award

Honouring heritageBernice Shiosaki and museum archivist Ruth Ten Veen show the Japanese exhibit at the Summer-land Museum. The exhibit has been nominated for the Governor General’s History Award for Excel-lence in Community Programming.

Barry Dick is a preciousmetals buyer and President of Ursa Major Gold, Silver& Coin. Ursa Major hails from Richmond, BC but Dickhas his roots in Winkler MB where his mother wasborn in the 1920’s.

“Ursa Major has the unique advantage of dealingdirect with a smelter” said Dick. “That allows usto cut out one or even two middlemen. Ursa Majorpurchases gold and silver from other gold buyers,pawn shops, jewellers and jewellery makers as wellas from the general public.” Recent price increasesof precious metals have created lots of “gold buyers”including mail in companies. Many of those buyersoffer pennies on the dollar to unsuspecting customersand are limited to what they buy, choosing to ignoresilver and coins and only purchase gold.

“Better Business Bureau complaints about mail ingold companies are extremely high, but it is hard toregulate. My advice is that you do NOT mail yourprecious metals to anyone you haven’t met or spokenwith at length” says Dick.

Ursa Major analyzes your gold, silver and coins whileyou watch, with the process explained to you in detail.Any coins with numismatic value will be set asidefrom those with a ‘melt’ value. Silver items such asjewellery, flatware and serving trays will be analyzedfor hallmark identification. Items thought to containgold or platinum will also be analyzed for hallmarks,and then confirmed using precise testing that is donewhile you watch. Then a cash offer is made and youdecide to sell or not.

Dick took out his first gold claim when he turned 16 inthe 1970’s and has been involvedwith preciousmetalsever since. An ardent gold panner, he was a regularat the world championship gold panning competitionwith a personal best of 3rd place in 1984. Now heconcentrates on building the wholesale business withjewellers and brokers while taking the roadshow outone or two times a month across Western Canada.

“People bring in all kinds of interesting items, butfor the most part it is a broken or old chain, unlovedjewelry, a single earring, and out of fashion items likecharm bracelets. We also accept dental gold but itshould be clean. These days I see more and moresterling silver flatware sets, but before you bringthose in please make sure it says “Sterling” on thehandles. There is a lot of silver plated flatware andserving trays that we can’t buy due to the low silvercontent” says Dick. Another valuable item is coinswith silver content. Dimes, Quarters, Half Dollarsand Dollars from Canada and America can be sortedand the silver content determined in no time at all.People are encouraged to bring in any and all coinsfor assessment.

Royal Canadian Air Cadets from 902 Summerland Squad-ron have successfully completed their sum-mer training at loca-tions across Western Canada.

Cadets attended a variety of summer camps ranging from two to six weeks in length.

The cadets all par-ticipated in fun, chal-lenging and reward-ing training experi-ences.

Throughout the summer the cadets also learned valuable leadership skills that will be of benefit at the local training cen-tre in the coming year.

LAC Alyssa Vader and LAC Riley Han-ley attended the Gen-eral Training course at Albert Head, Vic-toria, B.C.

F/Cpl. Lara Des-jarlais attended the Basic Aviation Tech-nology and Aero-space Course at Albert Head.

F/Cpl. Bryanna Johnston and F/Cpl Jack Taylor attended the Basic Fitness and Sports Course at Albert Head.

Sgt. Meaghan Vader attended the Survival Instructor course at Cold Lake, Alberta.

Sgt. Josiah Baran attended the Advanced Aviation Course at Comox, B.C.

For this year, Capt. Tyler Willis has been appointed the com-manding officer of the squadron. He

replaces Capt. Chris-tel Davidsen, who has moved to Comox, B.C.

The 2014-2015 cadet training pro-gram is beginning. 

Cadets will gain a variety of skills  from  hands-on training.  Leadership, citizenship, flying, gliding, and physical fitness are the core components of the program.

Teamwork, back-country survival training and range m a r k s m a n s h i p are also important aspects of the cadet training program. 

The 902 Summer-land Air Cadet squad-ron is now accepting applications for new members. Girls and boys aged 12 to 18 years are welcome to come out Wednesday, Sept. 10 for an open house. Doors open at 7 p.m. to any youth who is interested in joining. Parents are encouraged to attend as well. The squad-ron parades regularly Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Harold Simp-son Memorial Youth centre, 9111 Peach Orchard Rd.

Branch removalElectrical workers Richard Bard, left, and Clayton Keys prepare to remove branches from a power pole on Highway 97 on Thursday morning. The branches were placed at the wires by an osprey attempting to build a nest. At least one branch caught fire and fell to the ground, resulting in a fire at the pole.

Dementia: a puzzling matter Dementia is a gradual decline of mental ability that affects your intellectual and social skills to the point where daily life becomes difficult. It is also an umbrella term for a number of ailments which affect memory and decision-making ability such as Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia (dementia caused by stroke), brain injury, drug abuse, medication side effects, Vitamin B12 deficiency, and thyroid abnormalities.

In some cases of dementia, it may be reversible or improved once the underlying cause has been treated. One method of preventing dementia is to keep your brain active. The activity of learning is an excellent way to exercise your brain. Learning a new language or dance steps or Tai Chi forms are just a few ways you can exercise both sides of the brain. The left side of the brain thinks logically and follows sequences while the right is creative, intuitive and emotional. Jigsaw puzzles are another great way to harness both brain powers.

While working on a jigsaw puzzle, it has been studied that there exists continuous activity throughout the brain involving all cells and parts of the brain. This intense activity works to exercise the brain cells and thereby activate them and increase their efficiency and capacity too. Your brain produces a chemical known as dopamine that is chiefly responsible for learning and memory. The production of this chemical increases in your brain when you are engaged in solving a jigsaw puzzle.Another benefit of solving jigsaw puzzles is it can be done as a solitary activity or with others. Maintaining social relationships is also important for people who suffer from dementia along with their caregivers.

Consider a jigsaw puzzle as a gym membership for your mind. It'll enhance focus, expand creativity, help you practice visualization and improve memory. - Dan Cassidy, Nutritional Product Advisor

SwimmingEight- and nine-year-old competitors began the Kids of Steel Triathlon with a swim portion at Peach Orchard Park on Sunday morning. The triathlon was organized by the Summerland Orca Swim Club.

CyclingSix-and seven-year-old triathletes compete in the cycling portion of the Kids of Steel Triathlon on Lakeshore Drive on Sunday morning.

John Arendt Summerland Review

John Arendt Summerland Review

Swim club triathlon a successThe Summerland ORCA Sprint & Kids of

Steel Triathlon has been going for over a dec-ade, but organizers say it is still growing.

“We had a great response,” said Joanne Malar. “People were saying it was the best run triathlon they had seen.”

While Malar credits title sponsors Dirty Laundry Vineyards and Best Canadian Motor Inns, along with all the other corporate spon-sors, she is also quick to point to the volun-teers as part of the race’s key to success.

“It really took a village to run this race,” she said. “Numbers were very high this year, one of our highest ever.”

With registrations “just shy of 400” as Malar put it, it was a busy day for participants and organizers.

“This triathlon is our biggest fundraiser,” said Malar. “It really has allowed our club to blossom.”

The race, she explained, is really a family event, with categories as young as age six.

The focus, she said, is on creating a great, dynamic experience for children entering the sport. “The cutest are the children. They really are brave,” she said. “Watching them wade into the water at 8:30 in the morning by them-selves.”

Top finishers in the six to seven-year-old age group were Maya Andruchow of Kelowna with an overall time of 8:36; Ryan Peters of Penticton, 8:56; Maddox Stevens of Kelowna, 9:07.

In the 8-9 group: Sidney Clement of West Vancouver, 22:06; Ty Johnston of Kelowna, BC, 22:17; Mitchell Bond of Vernon, 22:26.

In 10-11 age group: Heming Sola of Sum-merland, 24:47; Eli Harris of Kelowna, 25:25; Ella Rolleston of Kelowna, 26:23.

In the 12-13 age group: Cameron McInnes of Kelowna, 38:58; Keagan Ingram of Sum-merland; Connor Hobbs of Kelowna, 40:44.

In the 14-15 age group: Owen Harris of Kelowna, 45:46; Evan Durrant of Langley, 47:41; Jacob Harris of Kelowna, 48:53.

In the sprint: Graham Hood of Kelowna, 1:00:48; Scott Tremblay of Kaleden, 1:01:55; Gary Wade of Kelowna,1:02:06.

BECKER, MICHAELMike Becker of Summerland, BC passed away peacefully on August 25, 2014 at the age of 72 years. Remembered and sadly missed by his loving wife Patt, son Chris (Shona) and their children Jacob and Brendan, daughter Denise and her children Kaiden, Talena and Tamara, siblings Bev (Mel) of Kelowna, Darell, mother-in-law Dolly Gowing, brother-in-law Terry (Linda) Gowing and sister-in-law Carol Bigam. Mike was sadly predeceased by his parents George and Kay, sister Margaret and brother Rick. Mike’s work life was mostly in the mobile home industry, starting with General Coach in 1968 and ending with Moduline in 1993. His work life ended when he suffered a brain aneurysm at age 51. Since then he was in care facilities: Dr. Andrew ECU, then many happy years at Villeneuve House and ending at Summerland Seniors Village. Mike was an avid outdoorsman, happiest when fi shing – either for salmon around Vancouver Island or just enjoying the seclusion of the backwoods lakes nearer home. He had built a big camper for the family and most weekends were spent out in the hills. The other happiest memories were the driving trips to Reno with Patt. Thank you to all his caregivers, special hugs to Randy Villeneuve for his years of care.

There will be no service. Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com

The Valley is indeed alive with music. From the Elvis Fes-tival back in June to music at various win-eries to Boonstock and Wednesdays on the Water down at Peach Orchard Beach. And the music continues this weekend with the Pentastic Hot Jazz Festival this week-end. This three day festival will include a free outreach con-cert at the Shatford Centre. A range of bands will be per-forming at five differ-ent locations begin-ning at 4:30pm Fri-

day, September 5 and concluding at 3pm on Sunday, Septem-ber 7. You are invited to “Come Early and Stay Late it’s a Jazz Party.” Bands are coming from various locations throughout the United States and from the Lower Main-land and here in the Okanagan. For more information on tick-ets, venue locations and bands see: www.pentasticjazz.com.

And the summer of great music doesn’t end with the Pentas-tic Jazz Festival. The Penticton Concert

Band, which already includes a number of musicians from Sum-merland and Faulder, invites intermediate and advanced play-ers to join them at their weekly prac-tices. Call Gerald at 250-809-2087 for more information. And kids … if you enjoy music and love singing, you will want to join the Sum-merland Children’s Choir beginning this September. You’ll have the opportunity to share the joy and friendship of singing in this programme

for children 6-12. For more information contact the director, Linnea Good, at 250-494-5111 or Lg@Linn-eaGood.com

It’s not just choirs and bands that are resuming their activ-ities this fall. If you enjoy painting the Pleasure Painters will start again Fri-day, September 5 at the Harold Simpson Memorial centre on Peach Orchard Road. The Pleasure Paint-ers meet every Friday from 9am to 3pm. Everyone who likes to paint or learn to paint is welcome.

The Summerland Art Club begins their Fall Season on Wed-nesday, September 10. They meet in the basement below the library from 9am - 3pm and are always glad to have new people drop in to see what they do.

The Summerland Community Arts Council is offering various workshops for children and adults. Drop by the Arts Centre at 9908 Main Street to find out more.

Okanagan Valley alive with music The vice-principal

of Summerland Sec-ondary School has written a book to help educators with grad-ing.

The book, Grading Smarter, Not Harder, comes from Myron Dueck’s experience with school adminis-trators and teachers during his teaching career.

He said the book includes plenty of per-sonal stories from incidents which have changed the way he grades his students.

While it is intended for educators, Dueck said the book also has valuable information for parents.

The book was pub-lished by ASCD, an educational pub-lishing company. It has gone to close to 100,000 educators.

Dueck will be a par-ticipant in the Friends of the Summerland

Library event, 10-10-10, on Saturday, Sept. 27.

The event, from 2 to 4:30 p.m. features 10 local authors pre-senting their books.
