Construction is on the increase in Summerland, according to building statistics from the municipality. In January and February, 25 building permits were issued or completed with a value of $5.524 million — considerably higher than the value of permits issued during the same period one year earlier. “We’re up pretty significantly in the number

of permits and the cost values,” municipal planner Ian McIntosh said. There were four single family dwelling permits, with a value of $1.628 million, two duplex permits worth $1.62 million and two fully engineered single family buildings worth $1.909 million. Other residential permits included three residential additions worth $107,000, one garage or carport worth $20,000 and one swimming pool

worth $27,000. A permit for residential renovations worth $10,000 was also issued. Three commercial additions and alterations worth $55,000, two institutional additions and alterations worth $45,000 and one industrial addition or alteration worth $101,000 were included. There was one plumbing and water line permit worth $2,000 and one foundation, not engin-

eered, worth $18,000. Two sign permits and one final inspection on an expired permit did no have dollar values attached. In January and February of 2011, a total of 18 building permits worth $1.795 million were issued or completed. These included one single family house worth $422,000, a fully engineered single family home worth $186,000 and three commercial additions and

alterations worth $967,000 among others. In the first two months of 2010, the municipality handled 19 permits worth $2.502 million. The permits included a single family house worth $480,000, a multi-family building worth $500,000, four commercial additions and alterations worth $418,000, one new industrial construction worth $150,000 and five residential renovations worth $815,500.

Accident aftermath

John Arendt Summerland Review

Firefighters examine the damage following a two-vehicle collision on Highway 97 at Jones Flat Road on Tuesday morning. The driver of a van was issued a ticket for failing to stop at a stop sign. Minor injuries were reported.

Plan details continue to evolve Specifics of Wharton Street proposal have not been determined by John Arendt Developers behind the proposed Wharton Street project are still working out the details

for their plan. Earlier this month, the developers showed conceptual drawings of the plan at an open house. A total of 91 people attended, the vast majority supportive, said Randy Gibson, part of the development team.

“We had virtually no negative comments,” he said. The plan calls for several buildings on a oneblock parcel of land. The first would be a five-storey structure of more than 6,000 square metres, with commercial and profession spaces

and residential units. Commercial and professional spaces would be on the first two floors, with residential units on the upper floors. Some of the commercial units under consideration are a bank, a small restaurant, retail stores and a professional

service. No contracts can be signed until there is a deal for the land, he said. The second building would house the museum and the library, which are both in facilities too small for their needs. See NUMBER Page 3

Police say the driver of a white van, traveling east on Jones Flat Road, did not stop at the stop sign at the intersection. The driver of a truck, traveling south on the highway, collided with the van. Police say the driver of the van received minor injuries but was not taken to hospital. The driver of the van was issued a violation ticket for failing to stop at a stop sign.

Vodka stolen On April 9, police were called with the liquor store at Victoria Road North and Jubilee Road was entered. Police say a rock was thrown through the side window of the building. Seven to eight bottles of vodka were reported stolen.

Gibson said the developers would like to begin construction by August.

While the concept for the Wharton Street development project is in place, the specifics have yet to be finalized.

“If we can do it by the middle of July, that would be better,” he said. Ian McIntosh, director of planning for the municipality, said there is still plenty of preparation work before construction may begin. The zoning bylaw must be revised, a development permit and purchase agreement must be put in place and the developer will need a building permit. “It’s an ambitious schedule for sure,” McIntosh said of the developers’ timeline.“ The plan is smaller than an earlier proposal for the same property, which called for seven-storey buildings to house a mix of residential and commercial units, along with the museum, library and a cultural centre.

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Poetic Justice Remember a few months ago when the Nigerian Money Scam was being sent around? The one where they promised to cut you in on millions of Dollars if you just helped them with a couple of bank transfers. Well, it finally took a victim that deserved it. There was a report out of the United States last week about a Scam artist who had been caught bilking people on an investment scam. Thankfully all the people who he attempted to get money from recovered their funds, but the real kicker in this situation is that the Court discovered that he had poured substantial amounts of his own money into the Nigerian scheme in the hopes of scoring the big one. Justice has been called many things... sometimes it is very sweet. The above goes to show everyone that even the scam artists themselves can be taken in. The best advice is still... If it sounds to good to be true... It usually is.

Ask Your Dentist...

I have heard that oral cancer can be detected early by a dentist, is this something every dental office can do? Marilyn M.

Thanks so much for the question Marilyn. Dr. Cindee Melashenko The answer to your question is YES! If you visit your dentist regularly, chances are you’ve had a screening recently (maybe you weren’t even aware that it was being done). Your dentist and/or hygienist checks all of the soft tissue areas in your mouth: cheeks and lips, tongue, floor of the mouth, palate, and throat. Basically, we are looking for any red or white spots, bumps, or lumps that are out of the ordinary. In our office, we discuss our findings with our patients and our recommendations. Often we find areas in the gums that were traumatized by a poor fitting denture, hard foods, or burns from hot beverages that just need to be followed up on.

In addition to the head and neck exam, we also use the latest technological innovation called the Velscope in our office to be more thorough and help detect cancer at an earlier stage. If we see changes in your tissues that we are concerned about, we can recommend either a biopsy (which is a sample of the suspicious tissue that is tested in a lab) or an excision (removal of the entire lesion). We always look at the risk factors that each patient has that could contribute to oral cancer. Smoking is the number one risk factor for oral cancer, but that does not mean that nonsmokers are in the clear. The American Cancer Society estimates that 25% of oral cancers occur in people who don’t smoke and have no other lifestyle factors. That means virtually everyone is at risk. In addition, human papilloma virus (HPV), the sexually transmitted infection commonly associated with most cervical cancer cases, has been linked to oral cancer. The good news: Oral cancer is one of the most curable diseases when it is caught early, and your dentist could save your life through early detection of oral cancer. I encourage you to protect yourself, if you are not visiting your dentist regularly, then no one is checking the inside of your mouth. Have your dentist do a complete oral cancer screening during your next dental checkup, it could save your life! To book a Complete Oral Examination, which includes a VELSCOPE Oral Cancer Examination, please call our office or e-mail us at welcome@goldenpeach.net. We are always accepting New Patients. If you have a dental question, please email me at drcindee@goldenpeach.net.

EDITORIAL

our pick

The truth in statistics At times, Summerland has been described as a dying community, a bleak place where jobs and workers are both leaving the community. The reality, according to several recent indicators, paints an much brighter picture. The most recent statistics from the municipality show a marked increase in building permit activity in Summerland over the last couple of years. In January and February of this year, the number and value of building permits issued shows a dramatic rise from the same period in 2011 and 2010. Construction activity, while still lighter than the hectic boom a few years ago, appears to be rebounding since the recession began. Other indicators also show more Summerland to be a much more vibrant place than some would believe. According to the latest census information, released by Statistics Canada earlier this year, Summerland’s population rose from 10,826 in 2006 to 11,280 in 2011, an increase of 4.2 per cent. In the business community, the ongoing economic slump is not as dismal as some would believe. A recent survey showed 68.4 per cent of Summerland business owners believed their businesses are profitable. According to the survey, 38 per cent of business owners who responded said business was better in 2011 than in 2010. Another 27.5 per cent said their business activity was about the same as a year earlier while around 35 per cent noticed decreases. That is by no means a perfect scenario, but it is not completely bleak either. None of the trends should be taken to show Summerland as a trouble-free utopia, but the picture of a dreary and dying community does not hold true when the facts are examined.

Summerland is proud of the Bev Skinner rink who played in the Canadian Masters Curling Championships, and the team is proud of Summerland. The team members told their fellow competitors about the great support they received from Summerland, which was the smallest community to send a team to the recent championships in Boucherville, Que.

Political spotlight falls on Cummins VICTORIA – The information age might have sped up B.C. voters’ mood swings, but the basic dynamic hasn’t changed since the days of Social Credit. When familiarity breeds contempt, people vote to reject the familiar and see what happens. Or as one radio talk-show caller summed up his decision to climb on board the B.C. Conservative bandwagon, he knows two things about leader John Cum- Tom Fletcher mins: “He’s not Adrian Dix and he’s not Christy Clark.” It’s been more 21 years since Gordon Wilson reshaped B.C. politics and launched the modern-day B.C. Liberal Party with a single quip in a leaders’ debate between a bickering Rita Johnston and Mike Harcourt. Cummins has about a year to show he’s earned his rising poll numbers, and to refute the conventional wisdom that he’s the best friend the NDP has had since Wilson put them in power and later joined them. So let’s get to know Cummins a bit better. He’s 70, and has an 18-year record as a ReformAlliance-Conservative MP. His Ottawa days are mainly remembered for battling treaties and aboriginal-only fisheries, and for being the first Reform MP to reverse himself and take the MP pension. That pension pays him about $100,000 a year as he tries to build a second political

career in B.C. Another legacy of Cummins’ federal record is his support for the harmonized sales tax. As he hastens to clarify, he supported Conservative legislation to enter into HST deals with any province, which Ontario and B.C. subsequently did. Cummins said B.C. could have brought in the HST at a lower rate to reflect its broader reach, as Atlantic provinces did. But they tried to make it a “tax grab” and now they’ve “poi-

The April 19 by-elections in Port Moody-Coquitlam and Chilliwack-Hope offer a chance for the B.C. Conservatives to present policy alternatives. So far they’re against gas taxes, especially the carbon tax, against a second Metro Vancouver garbage incinerator, and in favour of fixing the “catch and release” justice system. These are the slogans that stand in for actual policies needed to govern. Cummins will be going door to door in the by-elections, espe-

To me this beats the NDP’s crude coffee-shop populism that simply ignores HST benefits for small business and the poor. Speaking of crude, Cummins further distinguishes himself from the B.C. Liberals by endorsing the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline to Kitimat. He applauds the federal government for moving to place limits on submissions to federal environment hearings, citing the thousands of Internet sign-ups that have clogged the Northern Gateway hearings. His record on aboriginal issues suggests he has little sympathy for territorial objections from First Nations, those with treaties or those without.

cially in Chilliwack-Hope, where he believes his upstart party has a real shot at winning. He offers a telling anecdote about the last time he was doorknocking in Port Moody, the premier’s former hometown. The B.C. Liberals have suggested the B.C. Conservatives chose Christine Clarke as their candidate to capitalize on the premier’s name recognition. That wasn’t what Cummins and his previously unknown candidate found when they first started campaigning. “She’d say hi, my name is Christine Clarke, and the doors would close rather quickly,” Cummins said. Now she identifies herself as the B.C. Conservative candidate, then gives her name. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews. com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

culls We’re happy to see the Wharton Street development back on the table and we’re glad to see enthusiasm behind this project. Unfortunately, the spaces for the museum and library will not be included in the first phase of the project. The museum and the library both have cramped spaces from which to operate. For years, the community has known there is a need for expanded facilities. The space limitations are limiting both facilities from becoming fully effective.

Summerland Review Thursday, April 12, 2012

Budget items make little sense Dear Editor: There are several features of the recent Harper government budget that make little sense. 1. Increasing the allowance for taxfree cross-border shopping. This is a serious slap in the

face for hard-pressed Canadian shopkeepers. 2. Cancelling the Katimavik program. This is a small budget item that has been wonderful for both the volunteers and the communities that are helped.

3. The approximately $270 million for First Nations education is nice, but until housing and health standards improve, the mere building of schools will not really be as helpful as hoped. 4. The CBC, the

perennial whipping boy, suffers yet another cut. This truly Canadian entity has a proud history of innovative broadcasting and has also been a springboard for countless artists in furthering their careers in various

fields. This is the only way many Canadians get to hear from fellow Canadians all across the country. The CBC investigative reporting is excellent and important. 5. What were the items reducing

environmental standards and time limits for hearings doing in the budget? Oh, yes, the budget passes (see majority rule) and so do the environmental sections! This is the same devious procedure as in a previous budget when

THE EARLY YEARS

the Inland Navigable Water legislated changes were considered “budget” items. 6. In Canada we seem to believe in helping lucrative corporations, e.g., oil. Those companies get tax breaks to augment the subsidies we already give them plus the easing of fishery and other environmental restrictions. We allow raw material to be shipped overseas. No major manufacturing jobs for Johnny Canuck, just carry on the drawers of water, hewers of wood and diggers of holes. Banana republic ideas. By contrast, Norway collects a share of the oil profits into a fund which the government may not touch until the oil is gone. In Norway the legacy is a pot of gold. In Canada the legacy is potholes. Tell your MP your concerns. It is really important for the future of our country. Sheila White Summerland

The name of the game

Photo courtesy of the Summerland Museum

Soccer (or football as it was called then) started here in 1906. Home games were played on a field on the south side of Main Street and the team traveled to Peachland, Penticton and Kelowna for league play. In one summer game played in Kelowna, the temperature was over 40 C in the shade, but our guys beat the heat and triumphed 3-1. The Summerland Football Club players in this photo, taken in 1912, certainly look like they took their game pretty seriously. The Summerland Museum wishes lots of luck and tons of fun to all of the soccer players taking to the fields this year.

Intersection at highway is not safe Dear Editor: Anyone who has driven north up Highway 97 through Peachland and up Drought Hill with any regularity is aware of the potential dangers of this intersection.

Cars turning north on to the highway often will pull out and accelerate right in front of a pack of cars driving at the posted limit. Those of us who use this highway regularly are very

cautious and often drive slower than the posted limit because we are aware that a bad driver might make the turn up Drought Hill. The fact that no institution responsible for highway

safety has done anything about this unsafe intersection is tragic. Something deadly will happen there some day and it will have been preventable. The news is filled

with stories of deadly crashes on roads that locals knew full-well were not safe. The intersection at the bottom of Drought Hill at Huston road and Highway 97 is one of these places.

Please act to prevent what is inevitable at this poorly designed intersection. Please do it before somebody dies there. Warren Hurd Peachland

Other owners have been the Hodgsons who purchased it in 1949, the Cosgroves who purchased it in 1970, the Woudas who acquired it in 1989 and Silvia Morf, Tony Willies and Markus Hunziker who purchased it in 1999. Hunziker has been the sole owner since 2004. While Cake Box is closing its doors, the location will continue to be used as a bakery. True Grain Breads, a European-style bakery specializing in fresh, local, organic handcrafted bread, will open at the same location in spring. Bruce Stewart, president of True Grain Bread and Todd Laidlaw, a longtime friend of Stewart, are the co-owners of the new bakery. While True Grain Breads is new to Summerland, the company has a presence in Cowichan Bay on Vancouver Island.

The CD7 zoning was placed on four properties in the downtown core in March of 2008. A map showing the properties currently zoned CD7 is attached as Schedule A. The site is located in the center of downtown Summerland and is comprised of four properties essentially bounded by Wharton Street to the north, Kelly Avenue to the west, Brown Street to the south and Prairie Valley Road to the west.

Students plan events in park Students from Summerland Secondary are in the process of organizing two events for the public this coming May. One is a Fair Trade Fair and the other is the Summerland Youth Activity Fair. Both events will take place in Memorial park on May 5 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. and will offer something for everyone. The Fair Trade Fair will feature vendors from around the province who produce and sell products that

are ethically traded. These are companies that provide fair prices to producers for their goods. The fair will also highlight local business vendors including Backyard Beans, Summerland Sweets, Fair Trade Brokers, Namesthé as well as local student artists. The event will also feature local performers and food vendors. “The purpose of the Fair Trade Fair is to raise awareness of fair trade practices and promote the

purchasing of local and equitably traded goods,” said Alexis Okabe. Okabe, along with Alison Braid and Amber Campbell, are the organizers of the event and can be reached for more information at summerlandtradefair@ gmail.com. The other event running simultaneously is the Summerland Youth Activity Fair. This event is an opportunity for kids to learn about the wide range of clubs,

activities, hobbies and volunteer opportunities available in Summerland. The event is being organized to bring the youth of Summerland together with all the organizations that provide exciting things for them to do. “I believe all the sports, music, clubs and hobbies I have been fortunate enough to participate in over the years have been amazing and I wanted to ensure kids in Summerland are aware of all there

is to do in our community,” said event organizer Joe Stead. “We hope to have many local groups represented with information on their sport or hobby as well as some demonstrations from some of the organizations.” There are still spots available for exhibitors. Organizations and groups interested in participating in the Activities Fair can contact Stead at 250494-8612 for more information.

(NC)—Many new vehicles are equipped with systems that measures fuel-consumption. As a matter of fact, drivers who chose to act on the data provided by this equipment are using up to 15 percent less fuel compared to those who don’t. A fuel-consumption display provides the driver with valuable information on their vehicle’s fuel consumption based on driving techniques and habits in real time. They can also help a driver calculate the amount of fuel used during a trip or distance traveled per tank.

Some more sophisticated systems not only analyze fuel consumption but speed variations, shift points for manual transmissions and speciÀc driving behaviors such as acceleration and braking times. If your vehicle did not come equipped with a display, it may be possible to have one installed. Most vehicles manufactured after 1996 can be easily retroÀtted with a display system that can provide a range of information from the cost of fuel per trip to estimating the vehicle’s CO2 emissions.

• Sometimes a leak is a sign of a larger problem. Make sure you check the condition of your home’s water tank for example, which should be replaced every seven to 10 years (depending on the water hardness). • In the spring make sure your roof is in good condition and that there is no cracking around your foundation. These are key areas where water can get in and cause a lot of damage. In the fall, remove leaves and debris from your gutters and downspouts. And just before winter starts, make sure to turn off all outdoor water taps.

Tip of the Week

Tips to avoid water damage (NC)—As the old rhyme goes, April showers bring May ﬂowers. But sometimes those April showers bring a bit more than you bargained for. That’s because spring is a prime season for water-caused property damage in many areas of the country. According to Jennifer Kolah, a senior underwriter with Desjardins General Insurance Group, many different types of weather events can lead to water damage in homes and other properties. Some examples are: • A heavy rain in a short period of time • A snap thaw or a seasonal snow melt after a particularly snowy winter

PANSY • COLD CROP VEGGIES BASKET STUFFERS • HERBS • GERANIUMS HUGE SELECTION Summerland Greenhouses

Other common sense tips

• An increase in the water table from a prolonged wet period But Kolah says there are relatively inexpensive ways that you can protect your property from costly water damage. In the situations listed above, it is very common for water to back up from an overtaxed sewer line into the basement. “The best way to prevent that from happening is to install a backwater valve that complies with your municipality’s standards and bylaws,” says Kolah. “In the case of a sewer backup, the valve will close automatically if the water starts ﬂowing back into the home.”

Similarly, installing a sump pump at a low point under the house will help ensure water does not ﬁnd its way into the basement by keeping the area under the house dry. Basically, it pumps water away from the house so the basement or crawlspace stays dry. According to Kolah, water damage can also be maintenance related and occur at any time of the year. Staying on top of maintenance issues around your house is a good way to prevent plumbingrelated water damage. • Be aware of leaks in faucets, pipes and hoses. Aim to ﬁx any issues right away.

Ornamental Gardens receives grant The Friends of the Summerland Ornamental Gardens have received a $25,000 grant from the Okanagan Basin Water Board. The money is for developing best practices for sustainable landscaping in the Okanagan. The award is part of the OBWB’s Water Conservation and Quality Improvement Grant program.

The grant will be used to expand a xeriscape demonstration garden, convert sod to drought-tolerant turf, improve irrigation, and conduct public outreach and education. OBWB has approved $300,000 in grant funding to projects that will conserve and protect the water of the Okanagan. “Once again, we

had a lot of great applications,” said Dr. Anna Warwick Sears, executive director for the OBWB. In all, there were 39 applications submitted seeking a total of $672,480. The OBWB reviewed each application and ranked them on a number of criteria, including basin-wide benefit, focus on action, collaboration and promotion of best practi-

ces. Funds that were left over from projects in previous years were added to the pot of $300,000, making $339,154 available. “This program is a great way to support non-profits in our community, and local governments, do onthe-ground, tangible work that improves water in our valley for people as well as everything else that depends on a stable,

clean water supply,” said Warwick Sears. In the South Okanagan, six grants were awarded for a total of $84,040. The Town of Osoyoos is getting $15,000 for pilot testing of biological manganese removal. Okanagan Nation Alliance is receiving $12,018 for a water intake feasibility study for Okanagan River ’s connected oxbow lakes, and $4,000 for phase two of a water quality monitoring project. The City of Penticton is receiving $16,022 to assess Penticton Creek watershed.

The Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen is getting $2,000 for the Water Ambassador program. In the Central Okanagan, 13 grants were awarded, totaling $197,214. Projects include City of Kelowna replacing sod with drought tolerant turf, and Okanagan Xeriscape Association offering a garden contest to encourage lowwater and xeriscape landscapes and other educational programs. Six grants worth $57,900 in total were awarded in the North Okanagan. Some of

the projects include a Make-Your-Own Rainbarrel Workshop and restoration on Coldstream Creek, led by Greater Vernon Water. “The water in this valley is all connected. This grant program is a way to bring residents of the Okanagan together to take on projects that improve water in their own backyards, but which also have valley-wide benefit. We have one valley, one water,” said Warwick Sears. Since the program began awarding funds in 2006, some $2.1 million has been granted.

Invasive plant species examined Something troubling is taking hold in the Okanagan. Strange, non-native plants and animals are showing up in places where they don’t belong. They are invasive species, and they’re taking over landscapes, driving native wildlife away, and making everyone from ranchers to fishermen to wildlife managers nervous. What are these invaders? Where do they come from? And what can we do to stop them? Watch the award winning documen-

tary film, The Silent Invasion on April 19 at 6:30 p.m. at Centre Stage Theatre and then join a discussion to learn how to protect the Okanagan against invasive species.

Summerland Review Thursday, April 12, 2012

Archer gets sportsmanship award Bev Skinner wishes every curler could have the experience of playing at an event like the Canadian Masters Curling Championships. Her team is back home in Summerland after representing B.C. in the games in Boucherville, Que. Team member Wendy Archer won the 2012 Canadian Masters Sportsmanship Award. It was presented at the closing banquet after she

was chosen by a secret ballot of all players in the tournament. Other members of the team are RoseMarie Fenrich and Betty Raymond. Team B.C. beat Nova Scotia and the Yukon, and played close games against five other provinces. “We were very proud of our curling as a group,” said Skinner. “The two wins and seven losses wasn’t really indicative of

the actual play. We were very competitive in every game and many games came down to the last shot to determine win or loss. In seven of the nine games that we played, we had as much potential to win as the other teams, but just had some bad ends. They could have gone either way.” The games that weren’t close were those against Saskatchewan, which

won the c h a m pionship, and home t e a m Quebec. “Those w e r e the only Wendy two runArcher a w a y s . They really had their game going.” Skinner said it was exciting to be in the presence of top level players. Many were veterans of the Scotties, as evidenced by

Scotties rings on their fingers. Many had also been through the seniors ranks before playing at the masters level. Winner of the men’s sportsmanship award was a former Brier winner. Summerland was the smallest community sending a team to the masters championship. “We were the rookie team and we let people know how supportive our town was.”

Hockey champs Ice Hawks were the champions in the 2012 Reds Hockey Tournament. In the back row are Coach Frank Gould, Christy Tiessen, Sophia Waterman, Diane Henderson, Amelie Pepin, Julia Perrier, Judy Beck and M.J. Elson. In the front row are Cindee Melashenko, Cheryl Lomax, Sarah Holland, Lori Hopkin, Kristi Patton, Tannis Hiebert, Shaun Johnston and Assistant Coach Jeff Parker. Absent from photo are Dana Klassen, Joanne Parker and Bryn White.

Ice Hawks win Reds championship The Ice Hawks won the women’s division championship in the 2012 annual Reds Hockey Tournament held at Summerland Arena April 5 to 8. Ice Hawk centre M.J. Elson was also chosen as the tournament MVP. Competition between the four evenly-matched women’s teams was intense. The Ice Hawks lost their first game by one goal and won their third with a goal scored with only 45

seconds left on the clock. They battled the Crazy Canucks from Kelowna in the second game and the final. Both those games ended in a draw, settled by a shootout.

Five shooters per team were required to break the tie in the third game and four per team were needed for the championship. The Ice Hawks train Saturday nights at Summerland Arena.

Anyone can join! A new member joining our Any Legion during the month of April receives $10 off their A ﬁrst year membership.

For info call 250-494-2301

Women of all ages and abilities, with an interest in learning or improving their

game while having fun, are invited to join the team next season.

The teams played two games a day. The early morning game and the time change meant that the Skinner team had to get up at 2:30 a.m. B.C. time. Play alternated between two rinks each day, so there were different ice conditions to deal with.

“We had to be at the top of our game at all times,” said Skinner. “We went with the idea that we were going to do the best we could and enjoy the experience. All in all, the experience was phenomenal and the memories will be with us forever.”

Rachelle Nielsen, 15, of Summerland played over the weekend at the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour British Columbia Series at Morgan Creek Golf Course in Surrey. She placed 16th in the Girls division (par 73, yardage 5326, slope/rating 127/70.7) with scores of 95, 88 and 183. Also at the tournament, a hole-in-one from Jared du Toit of Kimberley helped him to finish one shot ahead to win the Boys 14-16 division and overall tournament medalist title with scores of 71-72. Alisha Lau, 12, of Richmond, BC, shot scores of 74 and 73 to win the Girls division title by five strokes The British Columbia schedule con-

Roberta “Bobbi” Jean Hudgeon

Samuel Melvin Pound passed away peacefully on April 4, 2012 at the age of 89 years. Mel is survived by his children Brian (Sherry) of P.E.I., Treena of N.S., Kathy of B.C.; 7 grandchildren; 12 great grandchildren; brothers and sisters Anne (Al), Norma (Gordon), Helen (Alton) and Donnie (Betsy), all of P.E.I. Mel was predeceased by his loving wife Doris (nee Berry) of Nova Scotia, parents William and Blanche (nee Taylor), brothers and sisters Lowell, Tressa, Eliza, Clara, Reagh, George, Jean, Lloyd and Ora. Mel was known for his generous spirit and dedication to the church. He was a well honoured leader with the Boy Scouts of Canada and while stationed with the RCAF in Zweibrucken, Germany, made Boy Scout history by starting the first Cub Pack in Germany since WWII. Mel helped Brian grow from a Cub to an Eagle Scout and they shared many adventures. He and Doris enjoyed square dancing and curling together and she was sorely missed by Mel since her passing in 2001. Memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 14th, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. at Lakeside Presbyterian Church, 5505 Butler Street, Summerland, BC, with Pastor James Statham officiating. Memorial tributes in honour of Mel may be made to the Lakeside Presbyterian Church. Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com.

Born October 23, 1935, Indian Head, Saskatchewan. After a hard fought twelve year battle with lung cancer, passed away April 3, 2012 at Andy Moog Hospice. Bobbi is survived by her husband of 49 years, Don; New Zealand daughter Donna (Andrew) and family Mackenzie, Morgan, Izaak; Australia son Doug (Sarah) and family Elena and Callie; sisters Kay (Ralph) in Alberta and Velma in Saskatchewan. Bobbi was her Dad’s helper on their prairie farm and after business school joined the RCAF to“see the world”. Then off to the oil patch in AB and BC, eventually to Cassiar where she met Don. After years of moving around the northern mining/construction communities and with the family off on their own, they settled in Summerland in 1985. She has remained Don’s best friend and business partner throughout their sometimes unconventional and varied life experiences. There is a very “Special Place” in everyone’s hearts that Bobbi has touched. She will be checking up on us all. A Celebration of Bobbi’s Life was held at Summerland Funeral Home, 13205 Rosedale Avenue, Summerland, BC on Wednesday, April 11, 2012 at 1:00 p.m., followed by a reception at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #22, 14205 Rosedale Avenue, Summerland. In lieu of flowers a donation to Canadian Cancer Society, Box 174, Summerland, BC, V0H 1Z0 or Moog and Friends Hospice, P.O. Box 1105, Penticton, BC, V2A 6J9 would be greatly appreciated.

Summerland Review Thursday, April 12, 2012

www.summerlandreview.com 19

Looking back at previous projects It is often said that hindsight is 20-20 and even more so in government as initiatives such as the harmonized sales tax would most certainly be viewed differently today than in the past. From time to time I believe it is important for elected officials to review past decisions to assess where they are today with the added perspective of time to more objectively form an opinion. Recently I had a chance to review some of the information

related to the South Okanagan Events Center, which, I was reminded in a former letter of support from then mayor of Penticton David Perry, was to be Penticton’s 100th anniversary legacy project. As we now know, the SOEC was a significant project and ultimately it would be three different mayors and councils who all collectively contributed to the completion of the events centre project. All at times had to make difficult decisions to ensure this

project became a reality. While the project has certainly had its fair share of critics, it has also enjoyed successes and hosted many truly world class events to the pleasure and delight of citizens throughout the region. One particular fact I found of interest was a 2004-2005 feasibility report that had suggested it was possible to draw an average of 1,800 fans to a Penticton Vees game. At the time, I can recall critics who

had suggested there was no way that a BCHL franchise could draw that kind of support. Some suggested that a WHL franchise should be pursued to bolster those kinds of attendance projections. And yet here we are in 2012 and the Penticton Vees not only met these projections, they have actually exceeded them. In fact the Penticton Vees lead the entire BCHL in average attendance that now exceeds 2100 fans per game.

That is not to suggest that there are not still challenges for the SOEC however credit to the Penticton Vees organization and the hockey community in general for coming out in support of a game we all enjoy greatly here in the South Okanagan. On a different but related theme I am also told that new Skaha Bluffs Provincial park site is also being extremely well attended by a diverse range of users. If you have not yet taken a trip up to this new provincial park

health care system that can also include the fact that British Columbians now are amongst some of the healthiest and most active in all of Canada. It is not a coincidence in my view that the efforts to promote a healthy and active lifestyle are starting to produce results that mean life expectancy is longer in B.C. then in other provinces and even our cancer outcomes are increasingly more successful. As we return to work from another holiday Easter weekend I am hopeful that many of you had a chance to spend time with your family and friends. We are all extremely fortunate to live in a region like the Okanagan and I am confident that if we continue to work together as we have in the past our quality of life in the South Okanagan will continue to lead the way. Bill Barisoff is the MLA for Penticton.

VICTORIA VIEWS

Bill Barisoff it is truly a beautiful site and you may well encounter some bighorn mountain sheep as well. It is important to recognize what began as a struggle to obtain legal access ultimately turned into another asset for this great part of the province that we live in. It is also encouraging that throughout our region we continue to identify and open up more parks and walking trails and in turn the public is increasingly making use of them. On another related theme it is refreshing to have discussions about our B.C.
