Two Mexican farm workers relocated

by John Arendt

Two Mexican farm workers at a Summer-land farm have been relocated following allegations of workplace violations.

Earlier this month, Bob Cowles, a Canadian worker who was also

working at the farm, said conditions were deplor-able for the Mexican workers.

“They’re not cattle. They’re not livestock. They’re human beings,” Cowles said.

Pictures taken at the farm showed the out-door cooking area just metres away from the portable toilet.

The garage where the men were housed had no

lights, no electricity and no water.

The two men, both in Canada under the Sea-sonal Agricultural Work-er Program, met with Mayor Janice Perrino and MP Dan Albas late last week.

“This is not acceptable in Summerland. It’s a real stain on our community,” Perrino said.

“I was embarrassed and ashamed that some-

one in our community felt that they could treat

other human beings in the fashion in which they were treated. What happened to these two men is completely

unacceptable.”She added that the

Hiker found after five daysby John Arendt

A hiker, missing from a Summerland orchard, was found near the Sum-merland Research Cen-tre on Sunday morning, five days after he had last been seen.

On Wednesday even-ing, Julien Landry, 25, a

worker at a Summerland orchard, had left to go hiking in the Trout Creek canyon area.

Two days later, cowork-ers reported he was still missing.

On Saturday, RCMP and Search and Rescue conducted a search in the canyon, using a heli-

copter, an airplane and searchers.

Despite an exten-sive search on Satur-day, Landry had not been located by the end of the day, Cst. Jacques Lefebvre of the Summer-land RCMP detachment said.

On Sunday at 10:39

a.m., a man walking near the Research Centre found Landry lying in the grass, injured.

Landry was taken to hospital with a concus-sion and back injuries.

Lefebvre said Landry told police he had been chased by a bear.

He then climbed a tree

to escape. He stayed in the tree and fell asleep there.

Landry fell from the tree, into the creek. He then made his way to the grass, where he was found on Sunday.

By Tuesday, he was still in hospital but recover-ing, police said.

Search and rescue effortVolunteers with the Penticton and District Search and Rescue were out on the Trout Creek Trestle on Saturday assisting with a search for a missing hiker. From left are Ryanne Volrich, Marlene Kearsley, Cindy Smith and Ian King. They were monitoring the Swift Water Team, who were down in the canyon, searching Trout Creek, looking for the hiker.

Continued from Page 1Albas said there

is credible evidence of mistreatment of workers and abuse of the program in this instance.

“There’s a whole host of rules that have been broken,” he said.

He has asked for an investigation into the allegations of abuse and mistreat-ment.

Penalties for the farmer could include fines, public black-listing and future

ineligibil-ity from p a r t i c i -p a t i n g in the Seasonal A g r i -c u l t u r a l W o r k e r Program.

“There has to be strong action taken,” he said.

MLA Dan Ash-ton said there have been other issues with workers under the Seasonal Agri-

cultural Worker Pro-gram receiving poor treatment or being subjected to bad con-ditions in the South Okanagan.

He said a farmer who does not follow the standards in place for the Seasonal Agri-cultural Worker Pro-gram can be disquali-fied from participat-ing in the future.

“If a farmer is not prepared to look after the workers properly, he loses the chance to have this employ-

ment,” Ashton said. Perrino said those

who notice employers mistreating workers under the program have an obligation to report the abuses.

“We all have a responsibility to make sure every per-son who is here, par-ticularly those who are most vulnerable, are appropriately treated,” she said.

The two workers are now in the Fra-ser Valley, at another farm.

Investigation sought after allegations of mistreatment

Okanagan near top in wine region survey

by John Arendt

A survey by USA Today rates the Okanagan Valley as one of the world’s top wine producing regions.

The valley took the second-place position in USA Today Readers’ Choice for Best Wine Region.

For those in the wine industry, the report is cause for celebration.

“It’s very exciting to see that we’re getting recognition at such a young stage,” said Julian Scholefield, president of the Bottleneck Drive group of Summerland wineries. “To get that kind of recognition as a region is really exciting.”

Bottleneck Drive has 14 member wineries, many of them with short histories. Only two have been in place for more than 20 years.

Christine Coletta, co-owner of Okanagan Crush Pad and a member of the Summerland Chamber of Commerce board of directors, said the interna-tional recognition will benefit the wineries and the region.

“It’s always exciting and flattering when publications from outside Canada take notice of what we have to offer here in the Okanagan,” she said. “Of course we here at home have known all along what a gem we have, and we look forward to welcoming more people to visit and see what the valley offers as a result of this wide coverage.”

Christine Petkau, manager of the Summerland Chamber of Commerce, said the recog-nition will help in marketing the Okanagan Valley.

“This is a fantastic and much deserved recognition for Okanagan wineries and will definitely contribute to a greater awareness of our region around the world,” she said. “Here in Summer-

land, the 14 wineries of Bot-tleneck Drive offer not only award winning wines, they also have amazing experienc-es to delight visitors.”

Ellen Walker-Matthews, marketing chair for the Okan-agan Wine Festivals, said the second-place finish is an hon-our for the region’s wineries.

“This will continue to build the incredible momentum we

have seen in our wine region over the past several years,” she said.

The top rated wine region in the USA Today survey was Alentjo, Portugal.

Others in the top 10 are Maipo, Chile; Marlborough, New Zealand; Croatia; Napa Valley, California; Tuscany, Italy; Oregon; Hunter Valley, Australia and Virginia.

Wine region recognitionJulian Scholefield, president of the Bottleneck Drive group of Summerland wineries, raises a glass in celebration following a USA Today survey which ranked the Okanagan Valley in second place among the world’s wine regions.

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

POLICE REPORT

Epilepsy website a finalist for awardby John Arendt

A student website providing informa-tion about epilepsy has been named a finalist in an inter-national competition.

The Epilepsy Awareness Squad website was creat-ed in June 2013 by Caitie Shaw and Dan Nixon, two students from Summerland Secondary School.

The site, at easquad.org, and its social media plat-forms provide infor-mation for those liv-ing with epilepsy. The site also offers those living with epilepsy a chance to share their experiences and meet others with the dis-order.

The stories on the site are from people from around the world.

Initially, the Epi-lepsy Awareness Squad site was viewed by two to three people a day, but in late spring, after Shaw partici-pated in a conference

in San Francisco, the number of views increased. Today, the site averages 100 visitors a day.

Nixon and Shaw are now looking into the requirements for nonprofit status.

The site was entered in the World Summit Youth Award 2014. This is an inter-national competition recognizing excel-lence on the use of the Internet for social empowerment. The contest is designed to motivate people under the age of 30 to contribute to the achievement of the United Nations Mil-lennium Develop-ment Goals.

The goals, set in 2000, involve fight-ing poverty, hunger, disease, inequalities, lack of education and environmental deg-radation.

There were 1,896 entries from 138 coun-tries for this year’s awards. A global jury has selected 85 projects as finalists. There are just two

entries from Canada on the short list for this year’s award.

The jury will select 18 winners and 12 runners-up for the

awards.The winners’ cere-

mony will be held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Nov. 28 to Dec. 1. It will feature speeches,

workshops and panel discussions. The list of entrants at the win-ners’ event will be announced at the end of August.

Quad recoveredOn Aug. 12, Summerland RCMP recovered

a stolen Razor quad on Conkle mountain.Police say there was no damage to the quad

other than damage to the ignition.Motorcyclists injured

A motorcycle operator and passenger were taken to hospital with injuries following a motor vehicle accident on the afternoon of Aug. 13.

The accident occurred on Highway 97 at Lakeshore Drive when a truck pulling a camp-er turned onto the highway.Bear observed

On Aug. 16, police were called after a bear was seen on top of garbage containers across the street from the Summerland Waterfront Resort.

The lids were dented as a result.This is not the first time bears have been

observed in the area. Six months ago, conserv-ation officers were called to deal with problem bears at the same section of Lakeshore Drive.

Today I’ll attempt to cut through the speculation and fear-mongering that have swirled around the Mount Pol-ley mine dam breach and tell you what’s really known.

As Black Press and our local publication the Williams Lake Tribune reported before and after the incident, the mine reopened in 2005 after a four-year shutdown and was expanding its operation, including the tailings pond.

Rising metal prices helped put 380 unionized employ-ees plus management back to work.

Most are now working on rebuilding the tailings dam and cleaning up the spill site.

Imperial Metals applied ear-lier this summer for an increase in water discharge, and was waiting for B.C. government approval at the time of the Aug. 4 dam breach.

This was to be the second amendment to a water release permit issued when the mine started up in 1997. It has had a surplus of water due to rain and snow accumulation since it opened (under an NDP gov-ernment, for those who want to turn everything into a political corruption story). 

The reason water release has been allowed is that in the absence of acid-producing rock, metal contamination of water is minimized.

Imperial Metals’ routine tests with rainbow trout in undiluted tailings pond water have now been confirmed by environment ministry results, and water and fish from all but the immediate spill area have been cleared for human con-sumption.

For an example of acid mine drainage, look up the Britan-nia Mine Museum, now a reclaimed national historic site with a water treatment plant built to function for hundreds of years.

Before that, acid-produced toxic metal pollution drained from the abandoned mine into Howe Sound for decades.

Early tests at Mount Polley indicate that this sort of long-term water remediation may not be required.

The initial pulse of sus-pended sediment didn’t last long enough to affect fish in most of Quesnel Lake, much less the Fraser River system. Sediment tests show elevated iron and copper, with “leach-ability” results to come. Con-tainment and removal will have to be undertaken.

On May 24 of this year, Mount Polley received the first high water warning in its his-tory.

This was not a “breach,” con-trary to some reports. The latest water permit application and work to raise the dam took place after that.

It’s not difficult to deduce from aerial photos what was happening as mine manage-ment found ways to extend operation, including an under-

ground phase. The pond was filling up with

pulverized rock, reducing its capacity to hold water. Most of the accumulation is still there for all to see, as is the cross-section of the dam so abruptly exposed in the wee hours of Aug. 4.

It may be months before inspectors and geotechnical engineers can determine the cause of the breach, which occurred with the water level 2.5 metres below the top of the dam, well within permit speci-fications.

Either the design of the earthworks was not adequate, or it was not adequately fol-lowed.

TV crews have packed up and left, after sucking out the initial drama and retailing every sensational claim they could find.

Tourism operators are plead-ing with people not to turn their backs on the region after that influx of visitors.

Professional environmental-ists are now exploiting Mount Polley as part of their cam-paign to de-industrialize B.C. A key propaganda tool is a single picture of a salmon with skin removed from part of its dorsal region.

No such fish has been pro-duced, and a single rainbow trout collected the day of the spill is the only confirmed aquatic casualty.

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

An accident last week involv-ing a motorcycle and a truck on Highway 97 resulted in injuries to the motorcycle operator and pas-senger.

It could have been much more serious.

A car or truck provides some protec-tion to its occupants. On a motorcycle, this protection is absent.

A collision involving a car or truck and a motorcycle will sel-dom end well for the motorcycle rider and passenger.

Extra caution is needed when motorcycles are on the highways.

A website about epilepsy, cre-ated by Summerland students, is a finalist in an internat iona l competition.

The site was created last year by Caitie Shaw and Dan Nixon to pro-vide information and share stories from people living with epilepsy.

Creating the site, at easquad.org, has taken a lot of effort, but the result is impressive. The inter-national recognition speaks to the quality of this site.

farm workersReports of poor living con-

ditions for foreign workers at one Summerland farm are cause for concern.

Last week, two Mexican workers, in Canada under the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program, met with Mayor Janice Perrino and MP Dan Albas to describe the condi-tions they experienced at the farm.

The response after hear-ing the allegations about the conditions was one of shock and disgust.

Unfortunately, incidents such as this one are not unique in the Okanagan Valley.

In the past, there have been other reports about poor conditions for Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program participants at other farms and orchards.

Any mistreatment of workers is a serious matter and must be addressed. It becomes much more dis-turbing when the workers are among the most vulner-able.

The farm workers who participate in the program come here at a disadvantage. They do not speak either of Canada’s official languages and they do not know where they can go if they believe they are not being treated fairly.

For this reason, it is the responsibility of the rest of us to speak out when allegations of mistreatment are brought to our attention.

A Canadian farm worker and some Summerland resi-dents were instrumental in raising the concerns and as a result, Albas is calling for an investigation into the mis-treatment of the farm work-ers.

The investigation must now run its course and appropriate measures must be taken.

The next step is to exam-ine the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program to ensure workers who participate in the future will not face similar conditions.

Just peachyYou don’t usually think of picking peaches as hot, dusty work, but to George Brimble, Ben Sherk, and J. McKenzie, that’s probably just what it was. In 1910, the trees were watered via irrigation ditches, not sprinklers, and in many orchards the trees were surrounded by dry soil and a few drought tolerant weeds. Though conditions aren’t quite as harsh today, it still takes hard work and dedication to bring in the August peach harvest. So enjoy the efforts of our local orchardists, fill up on the sweet fruits of their labours and have a very peachy August.

THE EARLY YEARS

Tax change slows down thrift shopDear Editor:I am a volunteer

at the Summerland Health Care Aux-iliary Thrift Shop, and I believe I reflect the views of most of our volunteers, along with our large num-ber of customers, when I question the provincial govern-ment’s decision to

force us to pay tax, on many of the used goods we sell.

Not one single per-son, who works at the shop, is paid so much as a penny.

Every single dollar we take in, beyond the small amount it takes us to operate the shop, goes to our local health care sys-

tem, well in excess of $300,000 each year. 

Penticton Regional Hospital gets by far the largest portion of our donations, which benefits the people living anywhere in the area, served by PRH.

The goods we sell are all donated, most-ly by Summerland

residents, and most of it would go to the local landfill, if some-one wasn’t willing to collect, sort, price, test, repair, put out on display, and final-ly to sell these items.

The volunteers who work the front counter add baskets of pur-chases in their heads.

Most of us range

from about 65 to 85 years of age. We can-not afford to change our entire system, with a till for each volunteer, and large amounts of counter space to process everything. Nor do we have the space. And so we don’t charge our customers the tax, but instead

it is paid out of the money that would otherwise go to the health care system. Which is, as everyone knows, a provincial government respon-sibility.

I’ve yet to hear an explanation, that makes one iota of sense.

Our lineups, on busy days, and busy times of every day, used to be long enough.

But now, with each volunteer having to separate all the items, into taxable and non taxable, prior to add-ing each pile separ-ately, it slows things

down considerably. Add to that the fact

that we each have to give the cashier two different figures, which she has to ring in separately, slows the process even further.

Volunteers are unhappy. Customers are unhappy.

But I think we could all accept it better if only the powers that be, in our provincial government, could explain who is benefit-ting from it all. I have written to our local MLA, asking that question, but so far, have not had a reply.

Dear Editor:I am concerned

about the disconnect between the stated mandate of Critteraid and their actions.

If they  truly want to rescue, rehabili-tate when necessary and then find a good family home for them to live the rest of their days, then  I am confused as to why this lovely horse named Avalon is not going to a loving home with experi-enced horse people. And for no apparent reason.

This is, unfortu-nately,  not the first time that I have heard of Critteraid denying an adoption for  no apparent reason.

I know of a few other similar cases including  an attempt to adopt an animal because it was left on its own after its part-ner  died through no fault of the owner. 

Critteraid refused to let this family adopt one of them even though it is

very well known that these particular ani-mals fare much bet-ter when socializing with their own kind and even though they had a good number supposedly available. 

The one left behind is depressed and lonely. 

I am confused as to the purpose of this charitable organiza-tion.

And I would like to read an explana-tion as to why and how this board of directors is denying Avalon its own for-ever home.

After all, would you prefer a child to be left in an institu-tion like an orphan-age or to be adopted by a loving family?  Surely we all know the answer to that.

Any charitable organization should be accountable to those who support it through donations of time and money.

Dear Editor:Having seen much

written recently about the best wine regions, etc., I felt compelled to write about one probably few Canadians ever visit. 

I worked in France in the early 1960s on a US/NATO Cold War Defense contract.  We had to visit all the US Air Bases in Europe, Western Asia, and Africa. 

On one of those vis-its, my team of four

Electronic Tech Reps were driving through the France/Germany border region, and we stopped to over-night in Nancy, in France. 

It happened that there was a huge Wine Festival in progress at the time. 

That region is mainly known for white wines, many of the varieties would be familiar here in the Okanagan.

At the time, the recent (or current, I

don’t recall exactly)  French President Pierre Mendes-France was on a campaign to get the people of France to start drinking milk rather than wine, he had a healthier and more nutritional life-style  in mind for the French people. 

As we walked downtown to a res-taurant for dinner, I suddenly stopped and pointed.

Across the inter-section was a square

building about eight stories tall. 

Between the fourth and fifth level was one of those New York Times Square type signs that have the brightly lit words travelling continu-ously around the building. We all had a great laugh at the local wit and humour. 

The sign read (hopefully I still have some French left in me):  “Quand les vaches mange les rai-sins, nous bouverons

du lait.” “When the cows eat grapes, we will drink milk.”    

It still brings on a hearty chuckle when I think about that evening.

Q I had some d e n t a l work done

recently and my teeth are still sensitive is that normal? How long before everything feels normal again?

A It is not uncommon for your teeth to be sensitive following

dental work. The fact is that your teeth were “traumatized” during the treatment and require some time to heal. The good news is that 89% of teeth that are treated will eventually settle down. This can take anywhere from 2-90 days. Most patients are sensitive for about 2 weeks, but it is usually a mild sensitivity. I recommend chewing softer foods or avoiding chewing on your sensitive teeth for at least a few days. Teeth are often more sensitive to cold, so the use a straw will help a refreshing liquid bypass your teeth. In some cases, the sensitivity continues because the fillings do not fit into your bite very well. This can mean a follow-up appointment to fine tune the bite. If you are experiencing severe pain (7/10 or more), are waking up at night, or you are constantly take pain medication, your tooth may need a root canal. Take some Advil and give it a few days to see if the pain is getting better. Most teeth will heal given time. Patience is a virtue!

by Sophia Jackson

The Summerland Waterfront Resort is getting high praise through the online travel site, TripAdvis-or.

The resort is ranked the number one hotel in Summer-land and number 11 out of 154 hotels in the Okanagan.

TripAdvisor has also lauded the Resort with the Platinum rating, the highest level under their new GreenLeader desig-nation, which ranks companies based on their commitment to environmentally

friendly practices. New members

The Summerland Chamber welcomes the following new members: Curio Cat, Little Lupo Dog Daycare, Matthew Environmental Con-sulting, Oak Design MFG, Pearce Taylor Law Corporation, Quail Crossing Farm Services, SB2 Con-struction Ltd., Shoot-ing Star Maintenance and Landscaping, Summerland House on the Lake B&B, Summerland Potters Guild and VP Con-struction.New ownership

S u m m e r l a n d ’ s

Shoppers Drug Mart has a new owner/pharmacist. At just 25, Austin Ojala’s knowledge as a phar-macist is paired with a long-time passion for business. He and his wife, who is also a pharmacist, moved to Summerland from Alberta, drawn by the business oppor-tunity and the Oka-nagan lifestyle. They are looking forward to getting involved in the community.

Ivan Huang has taken over manage-ment of Summer-land Necessities on Rosedale, which is getting a name

change to Summer-land Convenience. Along with continu-ing to provide the Greyhound sales and shipping servi-ces, and the hunting and fishing licenses, Ivan says he plans to make some chan-ges to the retail side of the store and add new products.

Drew’s Kitchen is the new café on Main Street in the former Wagon Wheel loca-tion. After 20 years as a chef in Eng-land, owner Andrew Roper plans to open the doors this week on his first solo ven-ture. Andrew says his menu will be par-tially inspired by his British roots, and by what his customers crave. Wine Fair

The wineries of Bottleneck Drive are once again collabor-ating for an exciting tasting event, which will be held on Sept. 13, during the Fall Fair.

The Summerland Wine Fair will be the largest ever tasting tour of Summerland wines, with a chance to meet the wine makers and of course to sample some of the new and award-win-ning wines.

Tickets can be purchased from any Summerland winery, and include entrance to the Fall Fair.New designation

Congratulations to Chantelle Meriam of Edward Jones who has achieved the designation of Certi-fied Financial Plan-ner.

The designation is obtained through extensive education, a rigorous standard-ized national exam-ination process, comprehensive con-tinuing education requirements and accountability to the Financial Planning Standards Council for a code of ethics, practice standards, and the rules and regulations of a pro-fessional body.

Summerland men from same city in Netherlands

by Mark BrettBlack Press

Seventy years and nearly 8,000 kilo-metres later, two long, lost friends, both from Summer-land, met up again recently at Penticton Regional Hospital.

U n k n o w i n g l y, Henry Vandenburgh who is now 87, and 93-year-old Dick Gouwenberg who grew up together in the small seaside city of Den Helder, are neighbours at the hospital.

It was actually Dick’s son Nick who made the connection after running into Henry one day in the hallway at PRH.

“I just happened to see him and I figured he was Dutch and we started talking,” recalled Nick who is here visiting from Salmon Arm.

“Then, all of a sudden we find out that he’s from the same town in Hol-land as dad and we couldn’t believe it. That’s pretty amaz-ing, it’s a very small world.”

The two now live

in Summerland.Gouwenberg has

lived in the commun-ity for 28 years and Vandenburgh moved from Lake Country five years ago.

Shortly after-wards he got the pair together again and since then they have been pretty much inseparable, spending a lot time together reminiscing on the outdoor patio on their floor.

“I was really sur-prised to see him after that long a time,” said Henry Wednesday. “It was really good to see him again and we talked mostly about people we know.

“We went to the same school, rode the same bus — there was a big group of us children, 12 or more, always together.”

The two men lost touch after coming to Canada in 1950 and both had been liv-

ing in Summerland before being admit-ted to the hospital. Dick was also sur-prised to find some-one from the past that close by.

“That’s unbeliev-able after that long,” he said, looking over at his friend in the wheelchair.

“I don’t remember too much, we were quite young then but it is that same little voice. We did go to the same beaches and rode in the same school bus but I was older.”

According to Nick the families of both men have now become friends and it’s not unusual for them to spend time on the patio “chit chatting” with their dads.

And when asked if it really is a small world, Henry’s smile widened and he replied: “It certainly is.”

Review

The musical group Three’s Company now call themselves Five’s Company or Seven’s Company — depending on how many of their members show up to play.

They get together, volunteering their time to sing and play at four local seniors’ facilities.

They entertain at a different one each Wednesday of every month.

Trevor Ling moved to Summerland twelve years ago and met up with pianist Joan Gilliard.

“We got chatting one time and she said she played at

local seniors’ places. I told her I had done that in Ontario so she said I ought to join her,” explained Ling.

“We played together for a year and then we met Joan Hiele. She liked to sing and we asked her to join us, so then we had three. It was Three’s Company then.”

Ling himself had started playing the banjo at the age of 11. As an adult he played in the Toron-to Banjo Band for 10 years.

“I always like the sound of the banjo,” he said. “They say you can’t play a sad song on the banjo, it has to be a happy

song.” As for Hiele, she

said, “I love to sing. I’ve been singing since I was knee high to a grasshopper. I grew up in New-foundland and music is one of the biggest things in our lives. When I was invited to join I felt like it was something I wanted to do.”

Eventually others joined the trio.

Jim Gillis plays guitar and sings.

Ian Macdougall was asked to fill in for one week and liked it so much he joined.

“I’ve been playing violin for 70 years. It’s always been a number one hobby for me,” he said.

“For me I’ll play anywhere, anytime and almost any-thing.”

Al Kuppe also plays violin with the group and has been doing so for five years.

Ann Saunders said she was playing the ukulele on a tour bus when she met these people at a dance club.

“They said, why don’t you bring your ukulele and join our little band,” and so she did.

Earlier this year, Gilliard, who initiat-ed the group, retired.

Since she left, Chris Barron has been playing the piano and is now the newest member of

the band.The group has

some help with trans-porting their equip-ment and setting up each week.

“The spouses are the groupies and the porters,” said Saun-ders.

“They are the crit-ics as well,” added Ling.

The band uses four different binders, with 80 songs in each.

They use a dif-ferent binder every month as they make their rounds to each facility.

This way the resi-dents hear different tunes all the time.

“We play for an hour,” Ling said. “We don’t get through the whole book so some-times we start in the middle the next time around.”

Occasionally the band will try out a new song, but they never rehearse.

“We tell the audi-ence, this is the first time we’ve played this together, so you’ll have to cut us a bit of slack,” explained Ling.

Speaking about the residents that they entertain each week, Saunders said,

“They’re all just so happy to hear any kind of music from their era that they can sing along to and enjoy.”

Hiele thinks that they, who are sing-

ing and playing, get more out of it than those who are listen-ing.

“It makes you feel good. You know that you are making them feel joyful,” she said.

“Many of them can’t remember what they had for lunch but they can remem-ber a song they learn-ed at their mother’s lap.”

“They always say music is food for the soul,” said Saunders.

Marj Plitt of Angus Place confirms this statement.

“It’s great to have them here because it lifts our spirits,” she said.

Looking towards retirement Hiele mused,

“I’m hoping that down the road if I find myself in a facil-ity like this, some-body will come and sing to me.”

For now Seven’s Company intends to continue to enter-tain. Speaking for the group Macdougall said,

“They enjoy it and we enjoy playing. We’ll keep playing for as long as we’re wanted.”

S u m m e r l a n d Montessori School and Prairie Val-ley Preschool has appointed a new head of school.

Sheena Fowlie has been a teacher at the

secular independ-ent school for seven years and is a cer-tified Montessori instructor.

In addition to her teaching experience, she has also served

as the school ’ s s u m m e r program coordin-ator.

S h e will con-tinue to teach one of the classes at the school next year.

“Ms. Sheena brings a very strong skill set to the job and also provides a comfort-

able continuity for both our families and staff,” said Sheila Hawthorne, presi-dent of the school’s board of directors.

Cal Johnson, the former head of school, is moving to a new position in Kim-berly.

During his 11 years as head of school, Johnson imple-mented the school’s Junior Kindergarten program, the hockey

development pro-gram, the house sys-tem for students and the Grade 4 and 5 field trips to Silver Lake and Victoria.

“Cal has done a wonderful job as the head of school and will be greatly missed,” Hawthorne said. “He has a great opportunity in Kim-berly, so we are send-ing him off with our thanks and best wish-es.”

In Japan, students are on Summer Vaca-tion from the end of July to the middle of August.

This break allows many ALTs to take some of their allotted time off and it gives them the opportun-ity to travel the coun-try. For example this being one of the two months in the year where it’s safe to hike Mount Fuji, many people choose to do that.

I, on the other hand, along with four friends, chose to travel down to Kyoto.

About three months ago, we bought our tickets and up until about a week before we

left, everyone’s first comment to me after telling them was ‘eh, atsui desu ne?’ mean-ing ‘wow, it’s going to be hot, hey?’

About a week before we left, that comment turned into less about how hot it will be and more

about the up and coming typhoon. Well, regardless of the typhoon we still decided to go. As soon as we got to Kyoto, we were assaulted by the unescapable heat, and humidity. But thankfully, that heat only stayed for the Friday when on the Saturday, we couldn’t get away from the torrential downpour.

Wanting to see the sights, and get our money’s worth, we still tried to see as much as we could (regardless of the small rivers pooling on the side of the road). On the Satur-day, we saw a temple called ‘Kiyo (pure)

Mizu (water) dera (temple)’. There were pools of fresh water, with ladles in them which were meant to wash your hands and drink from on a hot day. Apparently it’s quite refreshing.

On the Sunday, it was probably the worst for rain and wind. We took a city bus to ‘Kinkaku ji (Gold Pavilion)’. The main attraction to this sight is a golden Zen Buddhist tem-ple in the middle of a moat. The temple was burnt down by a novice monk in 1950, but quickly rebuilt.

On Monday, our final day in Kyoto, we visited a ninja house, and opted

out of , what I like to call - ‘Monkey Moun-tain’ (Arashi Yama) expecting the day to be following suit of the weather over the previous days. Well, we were wrong, and instead we listened to a tour about the ninja house’s history while it beamed sun-light down outside. It was really interest-

ing, but I couldn’t help but feel a little let down about the sunny weather.

On Monday night, we returned to Sap-poro. We actually fol-lowed the typhoon up through Japan, and for the first day back, the weather was reminiscent of the weather back in Kyoto.

Anyways, it was a great first trip out-side of Hokkaido. Japanese proverb - Ame (rain) futte (to fall/to rain) ji (earth) katamaru (to harden) – adversity builds character.

Anna Marshall is in Summerland’s sis-ter city of Toyokoro, Japan as the assistant English teacher.

NOTES FROM TOYOKORO

Anna Marshall

Spending summertime in Toyokoro

Three community organizations donat-ed a total of $1,250 during the past school year to help local RCMP officers teach the internation-ally recognized Drug Abuse Resistance Education program to 107 Summerland Grade 5 or 6 school children.  

The Summerland Rotary Club and the Associations of Sum-merland Fire Fighters each donated $500 while the Apple Val-ley Cruisers contrib-uted $250.

RCMP Sgt. Gus Papagiannis, who oversees the DARE program in B.C., said more than 200 police officers teach DARE each year to thou-sands of school chil-dren to equip them with the critical think-ing and life skills necessary to choose a

drug-free life. While police offi-

cers teach the pro-gram, the cost of the student learning materials is covered by community dona-tions so the program can be offered free to all students.

Papagiannis said the DARE B.C. Soci-ety, a registered char-itable organization, helps raise funds within each com-munity to cover the cost of the student learning materials.

“We are very grate-ful to these commun-ity organizations for their generous con-tributions to DARE B.C. to help cover the cost of the learning materials for the stu-dents who took the program during the 2013 to 2014 school year,” he said.

Retired staff sgt. Chuck Doucette, who

founded DARE B.C., said the society is raising money for the upcoming program in Summerland.

“We are appealing

to the general public for donations which can be made online through DARE B.C.’s website. (darebc.com),” he said.

Hockey practiceHockey players work on a drill during one of the sessions at the MacGillivray Hockey School at the Summerland Arena. Throughout the summer, the arena hosts summer hockey schools and camps. Hockey season will begin in September.

Triathletes of all ages will participate in the 15th annual Summerland Sprint and Kids of Steel Tri-athlon at the end of August.

The event, on Aug. 31 from 8:30 a.m. to noon, will be held at Peach Orchard Park. It includes the Sprint Triathlon for those 16 years of age and older and the Kids of Steel Triathlon for youths between six

and 15 years of age.Race director Del-

ano Duchek said more than 250 people have already regis-tered. He anticipates more than 400 par-ticipants this year.

The distances are considerably shorter than in the Challenge Penticton triathlon the weekend earlier.

For those com-peting in the Sprint Triathlon, the event includes a 750-metre

swim, a 20-kilometre bike component and a five-kilometre run.

Duchek said each of the three seg-ments in Challenge and Ironman events are eight to 10 times longer than in a Sprint competition.

Preparing for a Sprint event requires between 30 and 60 minutes a day of training, he said.

The Kids of Steel Triathlon competitors

will have shorter dis-tances, depending on their ages.

To register, visit orcaswimclub.net.

Duchek said the triathlon is the Sum-merland Orca Swim Club’s largest fund-raiser of the year.

“It is such a posi-tive local event that draws in athletes from out of province but also highlights many local athletes and families who

enjoy participating in the experience,” he said.

Between 70 and 100 volunteers will assist with the triath-lon on the day of the event.

Lakeshore Drive will be closed to motor vehicle traf-fic on Aug. 31 from 8 a.m. to noon because of the triathlon.

The awards pres-entation will begin at 1 p.m.

Triathletes to compete on Labour Day weekend

The number of swimmers in the Orca Swim Club has been increas-ing in recent years and this year, a wait list is anticipated for at least one group of swimmers.

Joanne Malar, coach of the swim team, said the introduction to com-petitive swimming program has been filling fast this year.

Other Orca groups are expected to

reach capacity for this season.While the final registration will

take place Sept. 9 from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m., Malar urges those interested in joining to register early.

Four years ago, when Malar became head coach of Orca, there were 60 swimmers in the program. Today there are more than 100.

“I think everyone recognizes the

importance of being water safe and being physically fit,” she said.

Orca has programs for swimmers from five years of age and up.

The programs include competitive swimming options as well as skills development for those who do not wish to compete.

Registration forms are available online at orcaswimclub.net.

BRADLEY GERALD ALEXANDER

September 24, 1953 - August 11, 2014

Today I lost my best friend.

Brad will be deeply missed by his loving wife Vera; daughter Jennifer Wise (Travis); stepdaughter Corri Schindel (Craig); stepson Jarrett Kazakoff (Shannon); 4 grandchildren, Gavon Wise, Madison and Joshua Schindel, Jordan Kazakoff; and all his family and friends.

Brad was a mechanic and owner of BUSHPILOT AUTO REPAIRS. He enjoyed an outdoor life of camping, fishing and just relaxing around a campfire with friends and motorcycle rides. Brad’s biggest passion was flying and working on his 1947 Super Chief Aeronca plane with floats.

Brad will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him. He had a way of touching everyone’s heart.

Brad was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion for 24 years and so a “Celebration of Life” will be held September 7, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 22, Summerland BC. Luncheon provided.

FINNEGAN, FREDRICK ROYPassed away peacefully on August 7, 2014 at the age of 79 years. Roy will be sadly missed by his loving wife, Laurie Gladys, children; Colleen Diane Levy, Shannon Louise (Michael) Ritter, three grandchildren, three great grandchildren and sister, Rosemarie Legge. Sadly predeceased by John R. Finnegan. Roy’s love of life and people touched all who knew him. A beautiful smile, a generous spirit full of compassion and humour. A funeral ceremony will be held on Tuesday, August 19, 2014 at Parkview Chapel, 1258 Main Street, Penticton, British Columbia with Pastor John Briscall.

Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com

You will be forever missed and always in our hearts!

Studio 5 Group to exhibit worksHeritage Houses

Talk, featuring works by Albertine Meyer, Susan Gibbs, Mary Scales, Maureen King and Evelyne Turner of the Studio 5 Group, is the second show to be held at the new Arts Centre and Gallery at 9908 Main St.

It opens with a reception from 7 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 21.  

Studio 5 is one of the Summerland Community Art Council’s member groups and their main objective is to meet with people that have a common inter-est in exploration and experimental draw-ing as an art form.  

They will resume their fall sessions on Monday, Oct. 7 at 9 a.m. at the  Summer-land Arts Centre and Gallery.

Anyone interested in drawing is wel-come.

Anyone interest-ed in learning more about the geology of our area is encour-aged to join know-ledgeable and enter-taining geologist Kathleen Jagger in a discovery of the var-ied and fascinating geological formations and rock types that are found in the Sum-merland area.

This geology bus tour, organized by the Summerland Museum,   includes

a stop at the top of Giant’s Head Moun-tain for a breath-taking panoramic view and geological explanation of the valley below.

Advance registra-tion and payment is required so drop by the Summerland

Museum at 9521 Wharton St. or call 250-494-9395 or email [email protected] for more information.

Next Wednesday, Aug. 27 is the final concert in the Wed-nesdays on the Water free concert series that has been held at Spirit Square, Peach Orchard Beach dur-ing August.  

The evening con-cert will feature The Dreamland Band. So come and swing with this 17-piece big band who play tunes from the 1930s to the present.  

Bring your lawn chairs or even a pic-nic and enjoy the music.  

If you come early you can take advan-tage of the water park, beach and the volleyball court.  

This concert ser-ies was the initiative of our Summer Art Program coordinator
