Language barrier has been difficult for Syrian family now living in Summerland

John Arendt

Since their arriv-al in Summerland in late March, the Albetar family of Syrian refugees have been adapting to their new home, but the language remains a challenge.

The family of five are among 10,000 Syrian refugees resettling in Canada over the next three years.

They are being sponsored by the Summerland United Church.

Speaking through a translator, they said they love everything about being in Can-ada, although the English language remains an obstacle for them.

The three children, all attending school in Summerland, each have teacher’s aides working with them to help them pick up the basics of the lan-guage.

Sisters Bayan Albetar, 17 and Razan Albetar, 15, both attending Sum-merland Second-ary School, are also enrolled in an Eng-lish as a Second Language class with three Japanese girls.

Their brother Ghassan Albetar, 10, is working with

an aide and has not yet become fully immersed in the Eng-lish classes. While he enjoys soccer and bicycling, he con-

tinues to find the lan-guage difficult.

The three children have picked up some English during their time in Canada and

are working to learn more.

The family’s lan-guage challenges continue at the gro-cery stores, as they

try to read the labels on food packages.

Most of the foods and ingredients they want are available locally or in Pentic-

ton, but reading the labels to find specific ingredients is dif-ficult, said Nadya Alsaghar.

Patients who have endured excessive waits for surgery may get into the operating room faster this sum-mer.

The province is injecting $10 mil-lion into the system to perform an extra 1,000 surgeries prov-ince-wide in an effort to reduce wait times.

The extra money will be targeted for patients who have waited longer than 40 weeks for surgery, Health Minister Terry Lake said Monday.

Orthopedic surger-ies, cataracts, hernias, plastic surgeries and ear, nose and throat procedures will be eligible for acceler-

ated treatment.Lake said the

money will open up extra operating room time in hospitals across the province, and in some cases it will be used to con-tract private clinics to perform extra day surgeries.

“Patients want to have their surger-ies done,” Lake told reporters. “If the quality is there and if it reduces wait lists and it’s paid for and administered by the public system, I think British Columbians would agree with that approach.”

Just one per cent of surgeries in B.C. were performed by private clinics using public funds in 2013.

It’s not yet clear how much that might increase but Island Health said in April it’s seeking a private clinic operator to provide up to 4,000 day surger-ies a year, or about 10 per cent of the region’s annual total.

Further cash infusions for sur-gery increases are expected in the fall and early next year.

Along with the promised short-term relief, the province is also pursuing long-er-range measures to make the surgical system more efficient.

Many family doc-tors often refer to

the same h e a v i l y b o o k e d surgeon due to r e p u t a -tion or p r e f e r -e n c e , w h i l e o t h e r surgeons a r e s o m e -t i m e s idle.

Lake said one alternative may be to instead shift to a pool of surgeons where patients get assigned to the first one avail-able.

Similarly, patients who face a long wait to get into their local hospital may be urged to instead get their surgery performed at another hospital an hour or so down the road where OR time is going unused.

“For patients, it’s not as convenient perhaps,” Lake said. “But it is an oppor-tunity to have their surgery done faster.”

More recruitment and training of anaes-thetists and surgical nurses is also part of

the long-range plan.B.C. has increased

the numbers of sur-geries it performs

over the years, but demand has risen faster.

Lake pointed to

soaring demand for procedures such as hip replacements over the last 15 years

as patients realize what recent medical advancements now offer them.

Accident sceneEmergency crews were called to a single-vehicle accident on Highway 97 on Thursday afternoon. The accident occurred just south of Summerland.

Tom FletcherBlack Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. NDP is calling for an investigation of missing records they have been seeking on community meetings along Highway 16 in northern B.C.

NDP MLAs pro-duced letters from a former assistant to Transportation Min-ister Todd Stone, who says a supervisor deleted emails from his computer to keep them from being con-sidered for a free-dom of information request.

A history of mis-sing and murdered women along the remote highway from Prince George to Prince Rupert led to a series of commun-ity meetings last year. Opposition critics have been demand-ing records from the meetings, and call-ing for additional bus service along the highway to keep vul-nerable people from hitch-hiking.

Former executive assistant Tim Dun-can wrote to B.C. Pri-vacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham Thursday, saying his

supervisor told him to delete a dozen of his emails in Novem-ber 2014 after an FOI request came to the ministry.

“When I hesitated, he took away my keyboard, deleted the emails and returned the keyboard stating, ‘It’s done. Now you don’t have to worry about it any more’,” Duncan wrote to Denham.

Confronted with the letter in question period Thursday, Pre-mier Christy Clark said records should not be deleted once an FOI request is

made. Citizens’ Ser-vices Minister Amrik Virk said not every email is considered a government record.

Stone said he intends to have a “frank” discussion with his minister-ial assistant George Gretes about the accusation that Gretes deleted the emails.

In an email to NDP leader John Hor-gan’s office, Duncan acknowledged he had no evidence of the incident or the content of the deleted messages.

He said he blew the whistle on the

Highway 16 incident because his own fath-er was murdered in a domestic incident in 2010, and he believes the families of mis-sing and murdered people “deserve bet-ter.”

Duncan was appointed to his job in October 2014.

He told the NDP he left “the cesspool that is the B.C. govern-ment in March” and reported to Denham that he believes abuse of the FOI process is “widespread and most likely systemic within the Clark gov-ernment.”

Highway 16 records destroyed, ex-staffer says

Province adds $10M to cut wait times

“Patients want to have their surgeries done. If the quality is there and if it reduces wait lists and it’s paid for and admin-istered by the public system, I think British Columbians would agree with that approach.”

Canada vs. The USADo you believe we are becoming more and more like our American cousins? Well, in some respects their culture has been a very big influence on ours. Whether or not that is a good thing is a matter of opinion and for that matter who=s opinion it is.From a legal stand point, there are many areas where the American judicial system has encountered situations years ahead of the Canadian experience and as a result has been used as a guide by the Canadian courts in dealing with that situation.One aspect of our two legal systems will never be the same however, and that is the influence that juries play in creating law and awards. In America, a jury has a relatively free reign in handing out awards in civil matters. In Canada there are strict limitations on the amounts a Judge or Jury can award.The reason for this column? An article in the Canadian Lawyer Magazine estimated the value of all monetary awards given by juries in the US in 2002. The number was $283 BILLION dollars. Something to think about.

Accident scenePolice, firefighters and paramedics were called to an accident on Highway 97 on Friday after 4 p.m. The accident occurred near Pyramid Provincial Park, south of Summerland.

Police in the region are preparing for the annual bush parties which mark the end of the school year.

Cpl. Bruce Haley of the Summerland RCMP detachment said the annual Tequila Sunset party, to mark the end of the school year, is held west of Summerland, outside of the detach-ment’s coverage area, but in an area patrolled by Pentic-ton.

Haley said the par-ties are a concern, since they are held outside of cellular coverage range.

“How do they get help if they need it in a timely fashion?” he asked.

In 2011 a youth was killed at a simi-lar party in Pen-ticton and in Sum-merland police have responded to a stab-bing incident at a pre-vious Summerland party.

“There are a lot of safety issues to be concerned about,”

Haley said.Police also have

concerns about underage drinking and illicit drug use at the parties.

Drugs circulating in the past include ecstasy and gamma-H y d r o x y b u t y r i c acid, or GHB, also known as the date rape drug.

“As parents, we have to be concerned about safety,’ he said.

“It’s really not a safe environment for children.”

POLICE rEPOrTFall Fair cancelledJohn Arendt

After a month of uncertainty, the Summerland Fall Fair organizers have decided not to hold the annual fair this year.

Earlier this spring, Tim Broesch, presi-dent of the fair, had expressed concerns about the event because of financial uncertainties and a shortage of board

members.The financial con-

cerns came because the fair ’s applica-tion for a $20,000 B.C. Gaming Com-mission grant was audited earlier this year.

In addition, the fair’s board of dir-ectors had been reduced to just eight members.

In early May, after new members joined the fair ’s board,

Broesch announced a streamlined ver-sion of the fair

would proceed for this year.

The 105th annual

fair was scheduled to run on the weekend of Sept. 12 and 13.

A f t e r the deci-sion to proceed w i t h the fair, Broesch said the b o a r d c o n -s i d e r e d

the decision more carefully and voted not to run the fair for

this year.“If we weren’t

able to put on a good event, we’d prefer not to put one on at all,” he said.

“We weren’t will-ing to go back and forth on it any-more.”

The Summerland Fall Fair board is now in the process of clos-ing its office on Kelly Avenue and shutting down its website, Broesch said.

“If we weren’t able to put on a good event, we’d prefer not to put one on at all.”

VICTORIA – We might call ourselves Super, Natural or even The Best Place on Earth, but how is B.C. viewed around the world?

Ever since U.S. bil-lionaires and their environmental cli-ents decided more than a decade ago to supervise our society, the impression that British Columbia is a primitive colonial backwater in need of “saving” has only been reinforced.

In late April, the province and coastal aboriginal leaders announced comple-tion of marine plan-ning areas for Haida Gwaii and the North and Central Coast. U.S. activists knew about the announce-ment weeks before the legislature press gallery did, and a documentary crew was sent up to advance the narra-tive of the saving of the “Great Bear Rain-forest.”

Within minutes of the announcement, the World Wildlife Fund website trum-peted the creation of

the “Great Bear Sea,” continuing the pen-chant of outsiders for renaming large parts of B.C. to fit their marketing strategies.

Unlike the “Great Bear Rainforest” land use deal of 2007, the Sierra Club, Forest-Ethics and Green-peace were not repre-sented. Instead, Tides Canada CEO Ross McMillan sat beam-ing in the audience.

McMillan’s role in directing U.S. foun-dation money to B.C. has prompted him to declare  himself “a principal archi-tect of the Great Bear Rainforest project,” although in the early years he and his staff (currently 24 people)

stayed behind the scenes while Sierra, Greenpeace et al took the credit.

At the event, two aboriginal leaders gave a nod to the real funder of the ongoing effort to “save” the B.C. coast, the Gor-don and Betty Moore Foundation. Gordon Moore is a co-found-er of Intel Corp., maker of most of the world’s computer processor chips, now spending his vast for-tune on the Amazon basin, B.C. and other “threatened” places.

Other Silicon Val-ley and Seattle bil-lionaires helped finance the original effort, and a strategy document surfaced in 2008 describing their plan to de-market the Alberta oilsands by creating a block-ade against energy exports on our Pacif-ic coast. That cam-paign has featured a fake cancer study and grossly exagger-ated greenhouse gas claims compared to U.S. coal and oil pro-duction.

The effort has since expanded to natural

gas, with false horror stories about “frack-ing” finding a recep-tive global audience.

Last week  I wrote about the plan by British manufactur-ing conglomerate Reckitt Benckiser to buy up farms in the B.C. Interior and replant them with trees. Contrary to my description, “RB Trees for Change” isn’t participating in the dodgy European carbon credit mar-ket.

They’re just doing it for global market-ing purposes, cover-ing pioneer-cleared farms of our  colonial backwater with forest for 100 years so they can advertise their soaps and cold pills as carbon neutral. Another 10,000 hec-tares of B.C. “saved” from destruction by benevolent foreign interests!

Back to reality. B.C.’s Auditor Gen-eral issued a report last week calling on the province to do more to prevent the “cumulative effects” of industrial develop-ment. A familiar

example of this is the struggle to main-tain caribou herds in northern B.C.

The B.C. govern-ment mustered a response from the multiple ministries that have worked on this since 2010.

Among other things, they noted that 90 per cent of B.C.’s vast area is now covered by regional land use plans creat-ed  to manage cumu-lative impacts.

A whopping 37 per cent of B.C. is desig-nated as parks and protected areas for environmental and cultural values.

Maybe that’s still not good enough, but it’s better than anything I can find in Europe or the U.S. That’s particularly true of California, home of Hollywood, Silicon Valley, a pipe-line spill, heavy oil refining and grid-locked freeways.

YOUR VIEWS

The members of the Albetar family from Syria are happy to be in Summerland and have been adapting to a new life in a new country, but the adjustments have been difficult.

The refugee family members have had to leave family and friends to move to a place where the customs, cultures and language are unfamiliar.

The family arrived in late March and since that time, the members have been working to develop fluency in English, but the language remains a challenge.

Without strong communication skills, even the simple everyday interactions can become difficult.

The Summerland United Church has sponsored the family and is covering their expenses for a one-year period and a translator in Summerland is helping with many of the family’s communication needs.

The family members are also working to learn the languages and skills they will need for their lives in Canada.

It is important to remember that the transition process will take much longer than one year.

Any international move involves signifi-cant adjustments.

Adding linguistic challenges makes the process more complex.

At this time, it is important for the community to show patience and under-standing to the members of this family as they continue to adjust to their new life in Canada.

While the details of their experiences may differ from our family stories, many Summerlanders have their own accounts of parents, grandparents or earlier gen-erations who have come to Canada in earlier years. Some in this community can remember their own experiences of mov-ing to Canada from another country. The transitions involved in such a move are never easy.

Support from the community will help to ease some of the difficulties and chal-lenges the Albetar family is facing.

Q Is it possi-ble that my upper den-

ture affects how well I can taste and enjoy my food?

Mary

AYes, for some people it can.   Our tongue is actually what we use to taste our food,

but when we have a full upper denture we push our food onto the denture instead of the roof of our mouth.  This can change how we “taste” our food and lessen our enjoyment of it.  Some of my patients cannot tolerate a plate over the roof of their mouth, while others adapt very easily and don’t seem to have a problem.

Since this is a concern for you, here is one option to consider.  The purpose of the plate on the roof of your mouth is to “seal” the denture in place.  How-ever, I could replace the seal of your denture in a different way---by us-ing dental implants under your den-ture.  On the upper, we can secure a denture very well using as little as four implants.  We could then convert your full plate into a small denture that just keeps the denture teeth and a little pink so it looks nice and works well.  This will help you to once again enjoy the taste of your food and, as an added bonus, improve the way your dentures chew and stay in place.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 accept-ing new patients and I’d be happy to answer your question in the next ar-ticle (anonymously if desired). Have a great week!

Catch the Action!Mac’s Café Aces baseball team, shown here playing in Memorial Park in 1952, didn’t seem to mind that they were play-ing on uneven turf with a hillside as a backstop and a park bench for spectators. It was the excitement of the game that counted. This weekend scenes similar to this will be common around Summerland as the 33rd Annual Action Fest Invita-tional Slo-Pitch Tourney takes place. Catch some of the action at the (now) well-groomed fields around town and take in the many other events and entertainments of a great Action Fest weekend!

THE EARLY YEARS

Summerland Review Thursday, June 4, 2015 O p i n i O n s www.summerlandreview.com 5

Dear Editor:It was startling to

hear that Stephen Harper wants no part in the traditional major pre-election debate on the usual TV channels. — for about a second and a half. 

Of course he doesn’t want to par-ticipate unless he

controls the agenda.  Let us hope that

the invitation still exists for the other three parties and that they would go ahead with the opportunity to debate  all of the issues that matter to Canadian citizens.

It would be a chance to hear fresh views regarding

veterans, health, education, environ-mental damage, First Nations, the econ-omy, seniors, policing and Canada’s role in world affairs. 

We wouldn’t con-stantly have to lis-ten to “war on ter-ror” and having our fears whipped up to the point  where we

are not given space to think  about other pressing issues. 

We wouldn’t have to listen to”clearly” when nothing is clear and “obviously” when nothing is obvious. 

I’m really warming to the idea of a debate without Harper.

Listening only to the alternative lead-

ers would be so help-ful when in the voting booth to address the question, “Who  best can address the many and complicated issues facing Canadians?”

Just one more ques-tion: Have we had enough yet? Clearly and obviously.

Susanne CooperSummerland

Canadians should hear from alternative leaders

Thanks to all for fashion showDear Editor:On May 24, I

attended Fashions of a Century, a fundrais-er for the Summer-land Museum and Heritage Society and the Quest Society for Hearing Impairment.

This event was a first for these two groups and I was

most impressed by the fashion show of out-fits which had been donated to the Sum-merland Museum and Heritage Society, Susan Lopatecki who was the MC, models from Summerland Secondary School, models who represent Summerland Royalty

and the citizens of Summerland who so generously donated items for the Silent Auction. And special

kudos go to the dedi-cated volunteers who worked tirelessly for these causes.

What a great way

to spend a Sunday afternoon in Sum-merland.

Dear Editor:On behalf of the

families who receive support from Kyla’s Quest — Medical Cannabis for Sick Kids, I want to thank everyone involved in making the Rockin’

for Kids fundraiser on May 23 a huge success.

We are truly grate-ful to everyone who attended the event, those who made pri-vate donations and to the individuals and

businesses involved.The volunteers

were truly amazing and you know who you are. To all of you I offer my deepest appreciation.

Elaine NuesslerSummerland

Medical fundraiser was a huge success

Dear Editor:I noticed in the

paper that a Sun-day market in Sum-merland has been approved by coun-cil.

As one council-lor has said, it will give Summerlanders an opportunity to go someplace on Sun-days from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Whatever hap-pened to the notion that 10 or 11 a.m. on

Sunday was the time to attend a church service?

There are a num-ber of church services every Sunday mor-ning in Summerland and I’m sure they would all welcome many more atten-dees.

Have we come so far from our roots as a Christian country that our only options for Sunday mornings are attending mar-

kets?If we must market

on Sunday, let it be Sunday afternoon. What are we teach-ing our young people when the only thing we offer on Sunday is a market, and cer-tainly not a service of worship.

If we have to market something on Sunday, let it be Christianity.

Irene FribergSummerland

Sunday mornings should be for church

My last column was on cookbooks and food so it seemed fitting that this one had to do with exer-cising to balance the intake and output of calories!

I am no athlete but do enjoy getting outdoors and staying healthy.

Our family adopt-ed a high energy dog 15 years ago.

Having a dog means going for daily walks. I loved and appreciated Jazz for motivating me to go for a long walk every morning.

She was my work-out partner, is gone now and I miss her.

Having a friend to walk with or work out with can make the activity that much more enjoyable.

If you are like me, your personal fitness routines can be as simple as incorporat-ing a stretching rou-

tine into your mor-ning, followed by a walk with friends, a bike ride or some time spent in your garden.

If you have a com-petitive nature, or just want to have fun, Action Fest weekend is coming up on June 5 to 7.

As I said, I am no athlete, but I live with a very athletic hus-band and children, all of whom have taken part in Action Fest events over the years.

I am amazed at the number of athletes, of all ages, that we have in our commun-ity who take part in the Giant’s Head Run, Man of Steel and other Action Fest events.

Committing to a race and staying motivated with your workouts can be a challenge.

Fortunately, Sum-merland has an exten-sive network of trails

for hiking, running or biking which makes it easy to change up the location of your workout to keep it from getting boring.

Writing down your workouts in a log book is a great way to keep track of your fitness progress.

Keeping track of when and where you worked out, how you felt, and any injuries can be a great tool in your goal to living

an active and healthy life.

The library has numerous audio books that can be downloaded to your personal electronic device to listen to while you exercise as well as a number of books to help you with your sport.

Healthy Running Step by Step, by Rob-ert Forster and Roy M. Wallack, provides self-guided methods

for injury-free run-ning.

Swim, Bike, Run – Eat, by Tim Holland and Amy Goodson, is a guide for triath-letes.

If you are a moun-tain biker, Sweet Single Track is a fabulous trail guide to biking trails from West Kelowna to Oli-ver.

An interesting read is Running with the Kenyans, by Adhar-

anand Finn who moved to Kenya with his family to run side by side with Olym-pic champions in hopes of discovering the secrets to being the fastest people on earth.

Dianne Broadbent is an assistant com-munity librarian at the Summerland Branch and will be cheering everyone on at Action Fest next week.

DancersMembers of the Summerland School of Dance’s Team Black presented a dance number at Centre Stage on Saturday evening. The performance, Music from Movies and Television, featured dancers of all ages. Members of Team Black included Rachel Berekoff, Marie Holmes, Jenayah Lefebvre, Jessica Lewis, Ashley Manning and Brooklyn Stern.

There have been some media fueled reports that sunscreen can put your health at risk by reducing your production of vitamin D as a result of sunscreen’s UV blocking function. For those of you getting your vitamin D ...by UV exposure, the recommended period of time it takes to obtain sufficient Vitamin D, for Caucasians, is about 5-15 minutes in this part of the world. For people with very dark skin, of African, Mediterranean or Middle eastern descent, up to an hour may be needed. There are sun exposure calculators which can help pinpoint the time frame which suits you best for the area of the world you live in (http://nadir.nilu.no/~olaeng/fastrt/VitD-ez_quartMED.html). Exposure beyond these recommended times increases the risk of radiation damage to skin cells which can lead to skin cancer if your skin is left unprotected. To that end if your goal, when going to the beach, is to provide yourself with vitamin D and its resulting health benefits then, depending on your ethnic background, you could get the job done in about ten minutes. For any further time spent in the sun, to protect yourself from possible cancer risk along with premature signs of aging and a painful burn, slop on some sunscreen and reapply every hour or after swimming or perspiring.If creams, lotions and sprays aren’t your thing, shirts and hats and shady areas are another means of protection. Your eyes are also at risk of UV damage. Wearing good quality sunglasses with UVA/UVB protection will not only make you look cool but prevent possible sun related ailments like cataracts from forming according to many Optometrists. You can have your vitamin D and your sun too and all without much risk thanks to the resources mentioned above. One last thing. If you really want to make sure you’re getting enough vitamin D, regardless of sun exposure, D3 supplements are safe, easy to find and inexpensive. - Dan Cassidy, Nutritional Product advisor.

The 33rd annual Summerland Action Festival this weekend will feature plenty of excitement and entertainment for the whole family.

The annual festi-val, a celebration of sport, will include a 72-team slo-pitch tournament, the Giant’s Head Run, Man of Steel triath-lon, a parade and live entertainment in Memorial Park.

Pat Bell, presi-dent of the Action Festival committee, said the ball tourna-ment continues to bring in teams from the region as well as some from elsewhere in the province.

“A lot of the teams have been playing in it for years,” he said. The tourna-ment begins on Fri-day evening and con-tinues through the weekend.

The Man of Steel triathlon will take place throughout the day on Saturday with cycling around Giant’s Head Moun-tain, a swim at the Aquatic Centre and a run. Individual, team

and family events are available.

The Giant’s Head Run on Saturday at 6 p.m. offers a 5.4-kilo-metre course and a 10-kilometre course. Registration is at the recreation office, 13205 Kelly Ave. or online at running-room.ca.

A midway from West Coast Amuse-ments will be bigger than last year’s mid-way. It will be set up on a portion of Kelly Avenue.

The festival also features plenty of entertainment throughout the week-end. Performers range from children’s entertainers, African drummers, classic rock, jazz and tribute artists.

On Friday even-ing, Totally Tom Petty Hosts Women of Rock will feature tributes to Tom Petty, Pat Benetar, Stevie Nicks and Chrissie Hynde.

Performers on Sun-day include a Neil Young tribute artist, a John Fogerty tribute artist and a Bob Seger tribute artist.

Plenty of action at festival

FilmingCrews and participants were in Summerland in late May to film a portion of Amazing Race Canada. The reality show will be broadcast on CTV this summer.

Film crews were in Summerland in late May to film a por-tion of Amazing Race Canada.

The filming was done at Summerland Waterfront Resort.

Christine Petkau, manager of the Sum-merland Chamber of Commerce, said the filming will help to bring exposure to the region as well as the community.

“We’re delighted

that the Amazing Race was filming in Summerland and around our area last week,” Petkau said.

“Being seen by so many Canadians on such a high caliber program provides fantastic exposure for our community. We hope that thousands of people across the country will choose the South Okanagan for their next vaca-tion.”

The reality show is in its third season and will be broad-

cast on CTV begin-ning in July.

It was the most

watched television show in Canada last summer.

Entrance scholar-ships provided by two Okanagan Col-lege donors have inspired a group of graduating Grade 12 students to think about how they can translate educa-tion into community impact.

Shad Collins, Matt Finlayson, Jack Hol-man, Courtney Kora-bek, Breanne Pitts, and Jaxon Stel each received the $2,500 Rick and Yasmin Thorpe and Friends Entrance Scholarship to support their stud-ies at the College.

During presenta-tions at Okanagan College’s Penticton campus and Mount Boucherie Secondary School, the Thorpes congratulated the stu-dents and asked them about their career goals — a question which immediately generated a flurry of ideas about how each hopes to make a dif-ference in the com-munity.

“First and fore-most, this award

has helped bring my goal of becoming a Red Seal chef within reach,” says Pitts, who hopes to parlay her training in the Culinary Arts pro-gram into a career as a gluten-free chef. “I am incredibly grate-ful for that.”

Pitts’ mother and brother have Celi-ac Disease, which inspired her to fol-low in the footsteps of chefs who have elevated gluten-free cooking in recent years. She hopes one day to also teach cooking classes and pass on her skills to future chefs-in-train-ing.

“The opportun-ity to be a culinary teacher in the future is really appealing to me,” explains Pitts. “Once I get to the point where I feel I am experienced enough, it would be a way of passing on what I have learned to others — which is a great way of giving back.”

Established in

2007, the Rick and Yasmin Thorpe and Friends Awards encompass a variety of scholarships and bursaries, including entrance awards for trades and technical students, as well as bursaries for mature students spanning all programs and facul-ties at Okanagan Col-lege.

“We are proud and delighted to be able to assist students with their post-sec-ondary educations,” says Yasmin Thorpe.

“These students

have very bright futures ahead of them,” added Rick Thorpe. “We look forward to staying in touch with them and hearing about their accomplishments . And if in future they are inspired by the fact that some-one supported their education, and they chose to do the same for others, what could be better?”

To date, the Rick and Yasmin Thorpe and Friends fund has provided more than $70,000 in awards to

students at Okanagan College.

The Thorpes have also established num-erous awards for students entering or enrolled at UBC Oka-nagan.

For Penticton resi-dent Jack Holman, receiving an entrance award has not only inspired him to excel during his training as a plumber and pipefitter at the Col-lege, but also to con-tinue his volunteer work.

An avid soccer player, Holman cur-

rently volunteers as a fundraiser for local youth soccer clubs.

“ C o m m u n i t y involvement isn’t something that has to wait until I graduate college,” says Hol-man.

“I want to give back as much as I can now, volunteering my time whenever I can.”

“Rick and Yasmin Thorpe’s support has had, and will continue to have, an immense impact on many students at the College,” says Kathy Butler, Executive

Director of the Oka-nagan College Foun-dation. “Their gen-erosity, and the gen-erosity of so many donors in the region, directly reinforces the College’s mission to transform lives and communities.”

In the past year, Okanagan College and the Okanagan College Foundation have collectively dis-bursed more than $1 million in awards to 886 students at the Kelowna, Penticton, Salmon Arm and Ver-non campuses.

Awards inspire college students

Jazz danceMembers of the Summerland School of Dance Senior Jazz class performed at the spring concert on the weekend. The concert featured dancers of all ages and skill levels. Senior jazz class members were Nadia Campagnaro, Krista-Marie Goss, Justine Houde, Haley Latkin, Hayley Peterson, Alissa Schaffner and Caitlin Slade.

Continued from Page 1They added that

since arriving in Can-ada, they have dis-covered new foods they love, including hot dogs, lasagne and pizza.

M o h a m m e d Hussam Albetar, a sign and ban-ner maker by trade, would like to con-tinue his work in Canada. The hand-created signs he has made in the past include street signs

and house signs. While the lan-

guage barrier is the greatest challenge for the Albetar family, the distance between them and their family and friends has been the most difficult part of their move.

Nadya Alsaghar said her brother and mother have not been able to join them in Canada.

Some of their family and friends remain in Syria while

others are in a refu-gee camp in Jordan.

They are able to stay in touch by tele-phone and online communications, but the distance is notice-able, the family mem-bers say.

Despite the dif-ficulties, the family members are happy to be in Summerland.

The town and the people have been extremely generous to them, said Nadya Alsaghar.

Summer concerts plannedWednesday entertainment will be featured at lake in July and August

Local musicians will perform at Oka-nagan Lake each week this summer as the annual Wed-nesdays on the Water concert series returns.

The concerts will run each week from July 8 to Aug. 26, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Carmen McDow-ell, coordinator of the concert series, said local musicians are still being booked.

The concerts will be held at Peach Orchard Beach, near Spirit Square and will feature a wide variety of musicians.

“We want different genres every week,” she said.

Those attending are asked to bring lawn chairs and pic-nic meals to enjoy the event with friends and family.

Anyone interested in performing at the concerts is asked to contact McDowell at the Summerland Community Arts Centre, 9908 Main St., 250-494-4494.

Arts courses offered for children, teens

Children and teens will be able to explore the arts through a number of special courses this summer.

The annual Sum-mer Art Program, offered by the Sum-merland Community Arts Council, will run from July 13 to Aug. 21.

Carmen McDow-ell, coordinator of the program, said some of the programs, including Music and Movement, Messy and Marvel-lous and Fun with a Pocket Knife have been popular in past years.

Some new pro-grams are also being introduced this year.

Clay Play, for chil-dren seven and older, will introduce chil-dren to clay work at the Summerland Pot-ters’ Guild.

Cartoon Craze, for children nine and older, is an introduc-tion to cartooning.

Wet Felting, also for children nine and older, is an introduc-tion to fibre work for children.

Through the Stage Door, an act-ing course, has been offered in the past, but was not available last year.

An additional course, Young Adult Writing, will be offered Aug. 4 to 7 to prepare students for writing at a univer-sity level.

McDowell urges children to register early as some of the courses will fill up quickly. In addition, bursaries are avail-able for those who are in need.

Information on the arts program and a list of all programs offered is available online at summer-landarts.com/pro-grams/summer-arts-program or at the Summerland Com-munity Arts Centre, 9908 Main St.

Mark BrettBlack Press

A hundred years in the making, the Kettle Valley Steam Railway’s centennial celebration Sunday didn’t disappoint.

In fact, those who rode the coaches

and open air cars being pulled by the majestic 103-year-old steam locomotive, the 3716 Spirit of Summerland,  were likely just as excited as the first passen-gers who boarded the train on that Monday in 1915.

“What an incred-ible experience, the sound of the whis-tle, the cars rock-ing back and forth on the tracks I can really imagine what it must have been like a long time ago,” said Adelaide Schoef-fler who was visiting

from Germany with family members and decided to take the 90-minute ride.

“ T h e v i e w s and the s c e n e r y w e r e just so b e a u t i -ful this is definite-ly some-thing I w o n ’ t forget.”

Those w o r d s are like familiar music to the ears of KVR general manager Ken Orford, who previ-ously worked on the railroad for 41 years in Ontario.

“It is still a great

thing to ride a train, people from all gen-erations love to ride a train, there is a spirit

and a romance about it,” said Orford. 

“Our history is who we are. Our his-tory is what develops attitude, character, our fabric as Can-adians. It’s all of

these bits and pieces put together collect-ively as the mosaic we call life.”

He added in the early days it not only brought people to British Columbia but helped Canadians exercise their sover-eignty over the bor-der.

The KVR also to a large part opened up the doors of the region to the rest of the world.

“These trains took our men and women off to war, and they brought the wound-ed home,” said the general manager.

“Our history is who we are. Our history is what develops attitude, character, our fabric as Canadians. It’s all of these bits and pieces put together collectively as the mosaic we call life.”

Continued from Page 10“They also brought

the fashions of the world. When the train pulled into Pen-ticton people would

come down to the station and see what wonders were about to come off the train from as far away as Paris and London.

“The railway was an intricate, intimate part of the fabric of the Okanagan. It all started with some-body’s vision to build

it.”Ron Belisle, who

is most recogniz-able to regular KVR visitors as the train’s conductor, has volun-teered his time doing what he loves there for two decades.

He began working in the coaches and replacing railway ties before advancing to his current position.

“I love the rail-road, the history and the nostalgia and it’s what brought people across the moun-tains to live here,” said Belisle, who then returned to his duties, shouting out those familiar words that are as historic as the railway itself. 

“All aboard.”

Annual show will be held June 6 and 7

The Summerland Art Club will hold its annual art show in early June.

The show, Shades of Grey Plus, will include one work by each of the 25 mem-ber artists, shown in a group display.

Many other works in acrylic, water col-our, oil, pencil and other media will be displayed.

The spring art show is an annual event, dating back to the 1960s.

Mary Ellen Scales, a member of the art club, said the art club members have high standards, yet work to help new-comers.

“It is a group of genuine caring people and when an artist does well, everyone rejoices with them,” she said. “Those struggling are encouraged.”

One of the mem-bers of the club, Norma Elliott, has

donated a painting for this show. The

club will hold a draw for this painting.

The show will be held Saturday and

Sunday, June 6 and 7, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

in the lower level of the library.

This weekend will be the 33rd Annual Action Festival. 

A weekend of slo-pitch, music and lots of fun in Memorial Park. 

In addition, there will be the parade on Saturday morning, fireworks Friday night as well as the annual Giant’s Head Run and Man of Steel Triathlon. 

Definitely a fun weekend and one of the events that makes Summerland special.  

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned the visit by Gord Hume and the ongoing work on creating

a Cultural Plan for Summerland.  Action Festival, the Festival of Lights, the Good Will Shakespeare Fes-tival and other past festivals, such as the Taste of Summer-land, are examples of events that Gord Hume spoke about as they help define a community, give it vibrancy and expand the economic base. 

Having hundreds of runners, slo-pitch players and others descend on Sum-merland this com-ing weekend has to be good for the local economy.  

If you leaf through the Action Festi-val event guide that arrived in the mail last week you will see that a wide range of bands and individ-

ual musicians will be performing this weekend in Memor-ial Park. 

You’ll be able to enjoy jazz, country, R and B, folk, blues, rock, west African drumming and so much more. 

Enjoy music by some talented local musicians as well as from elsewhere in the Okanagan, the Lower Mainland and beyond.  

And speaking of music the Summer-land Community Art Council has begun organizing for this summer’s Wednes-day’s on the Water series. 

Last August many of us enjoyed a wide range of musical styles down at Peach Orchard Park. 

This year there will be music in July as well as August.  If you, your company would like to be a sponsor or you or your group would like to perform con-tact Carmen at the Arts Centre for more information.  

When you are downtown for Action Festival there is

also   an opportunity to sit down and enjoy a cup of tea or cof-fee and some sweets at the annual Sum-merland Art Club art show and sale taking place in the lower level of the Summer-land Library. 

In addition to tasty treats you will be able to view a var-iety of art styles and media.   

Who knows you may find just the right piece of art you are looking for, either as a gift or for your own place.

Carla McLeodSpecial to the

Review

The success of the Action Festival’s Slow Pitch Ball Tour-nament has been in large part due to its uniqueness. It may in fact be the only tournament in B.C. to be run the way it is and after almost 25 years of organizing the event, Allan and Dianne Mann have retired.

It all started for the Manns back in 1987 when they played ball as a family in the Summerland League.

“We had five chil-dren, so we had our own ball team basic-ally, called the Ball Babies,” explained Allan. “We never won a game all year but we had a lot of fun.”

They decided to get more involved and even became executives of the league. In their desire to see a better league, they started to organ-ize carded (certi-fied) umpires. They also took courses and became umpires themselves.

It was in the early 1990s that they took over the organizing of the tournament held during Action Festival. In a number of years it grew from six teams to 72 teams.

“Our goal has always been to have a

tournament that was attractive to all levels of ball players,” Allan said. “They could come to Summerland and enjoy the com-munity, have fun and be competitive. We developed the whole tournament with that in mind.”

Another objective for the Manns was to keep the ball teams here all weekend, so they came up with a very unique format for the tournament.

Initially the tourna-ment starts out with a round robin of four teams in each group. Between Friday night and Saturday they play three games. Based on the results of those three games, how many wins, how many losses, it puts each team into a division on Sunday. If there are 72 teams there are nine div-isions and each div-ision has eight teams.

“So now you’ll be

in a division of eight teams of the same cali-bre,” Allan explained. “For instance, if the Ball Babies were in this tournament and never won a game, then on Sunday they would be in the low-est division.”

Since the trophies and prize packages are given out to the divisions, two of the eight teams will win a prize. There is a first and second prize as well as the most sportsmanlike, because that is the most important prize to the Manns.

“Basically you’ve got a 25 per cent chance of winning

something,” said Allan.

A prize package is also given out to each team just for registering, before the tournament even begins.

The registration fees cover the priz-es, the hiring of the umpires and the field maintenance during the weekend.

While one third of the teams playing are from Summerland, and one third from Penticton, the other third come from all over B.C. and have come from as far away as Calgary and even Australia.

“It’s been very suc-

cessful,” said Allan. “We have teams that have been in it for the whole 25 years. They just keep com-ing back.”

“People were always scrambling to

get in. We had a wait-ing list every year,” said Dianne.

In total 108 games are played on Friday and Saturday and another 61 games are

played on Sunday, on Summerland’s 13 ball fields.

Scheduling the round robin games, getting all the scores in and then creat-ing the schedule for Sunday’s games was very time consuming, so in the year 2000, Dianne developed a computer program to simplify the process.

The Manns both said that it would not be possible to run a tournament of this size if it were not for the support of the mayor and council, the recreation depart-ment and the volun-teers and citizens of Summerland.

During all the years they organ-ized the tournament Allan said they never received any com-plaints about how it was run.

“It’s been fun. Very satisfying, but it was time that we retired,” said Allan. “It’s a big commitment and it takes a lot of time, and it tied us up for a number of months.”

Allan has confi-dence that Summer-land and the visiting ball teams can expect another successful slow pitch tourna-ment this weekend.

“We got all of our formulas together and gave it to the new organizers. I think

it’s going to run p r e t t y g o o d , ” he said.

If you know a positive s t o r y

about someone in our community, con-tact Carla McLeod at [email protected] or contact the Summerland Review newsroom at 250-494-5406.

Couple organized ball tournament

The second annual Giant’s Head Grind drew more than 420 participants, with 361 who finished the 5.6-kilometre course.

Ellen Walker-Mat-thews, organizer of the event, said this year’s grind brought 100 more participants than last year.

“We are absolutely

thrilled at the sup-port and participa-tion as well as the tre-mendous commun-ity sponsorship and involvement,” Walk-er-Matthews said.

In addition to the grind participants, 80 people attended the barbecue after the race.

The youngest par-

ticipant, carried by his father, was Ever-ett Walker Kitchen. The oldest was 81.

In addition to local participants, some attended from California, Oregon, Alberta and the Lower Mainland.

More than $40,000 has been received this year and additional donations are still expected.

The grind was held in memory of

Chris Walker, who died from colon can-cer in 2013.

“The event is very important to our family to honour the memory of Chris and all that he stood for,” Walker-Mat thews said.

“We encourage all that come out to do so in the memory of someone they have lost to cancer or in support of those that are still in the battle.”

More than 420 participate in grind

Ball enthusiastsAllan and Dianne Mann have spent almost 25 years organizing the annual Action Festival Slow Pitch Ball Tournament. They have now retired from their organizational roles.

“It’s a big commitment and it takes a lot of time, and it tied us up for a number of months.”

Summerland Review Thursday, June 4, 2015 L i f e s t y L e www.summerlandreview.com 15

I can now provide more information on the program that I referenced in last week `s MP report. 

In late May I joined the Minis-ter of Employment and Social Develop-ment, the Hon. Pierre Poilievre in announ-cing the new Nation-al Advanced Place-ment Prior Learning Program (N-APPL) for military veter-ans project, a project that originated from a proposal submitted by a local Peachland resident and his team at BCIT.

This project is summarized as a For-eign Credential Rec-ognition project that will apply credential recognition for mil-

itary work to help Canadian Forces members enter rel-evant training pro-grams at BCIT and elsewhere to help transition to civilian employment.

This will help them to receive their desired credentials faster and will let them apply their CAF training to a new and rewarding field.

As mentioned last week, this proposal was submitted to me by a local citizen, Mr. Fred Mandl of Peach-land.

I would like to publicly recognize and thank Mr. Mandl for this proposal that will help vet-erans increase skills training that in turn

can help enhance employment oppor-tunities.

After speaking with young veterans who have already benefitted from the original BCIT based trial program, we can all be proud of this made in BC initia-tive being rolled out across Canada.

There is also evi-dence that this g r o u n d b r e a k i n g methodology could apply to other areas such as the trades.

I will continue to encourage and sup-port new approach-es like these as they develop.

In Ottawa this week I participated in the debate regard-ing the subject of fed-

eral research scien-tists and allegations of government sanc-tioned muzzling.

As many citizens are aware we are for-tunate in Okanagan-Coquihalla to have two federal research facilities in our region.

Over the past years I have been fortun-ate to meet a num-ber of scientists from these facilities to learn more about the important work they do and in turn I have also shared some of this information in the House of Com-mons.

To date I have never had any of our local scientists sug-gest to me they are muzzled or otherwise

prevented from shar-ing information with relevant stakehold-ers.

We are fortun-ate in our region to have many dedicated scientists who are doing excellent work in support of local agriculture and also measurement sci-ence. 

In fact I often hear from citizens how much they enjoy reading local columns from Ken Tapping, an astron-omer from the National Research Council’s Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory located in Okanagan Falls.

Another event that has generated a fair amount of dis-

cussion in Ottawa this week was an announcement from the finance minister that government will undertake consulta-tions over the sum-mer on the topic of a voluntary expansion to the Canada Pen-sion Plan.

The topic being

explored would be to allow for citizens to voluntarily increase their CPP contribu-tions as a means to supplement their retirement savings.

Most of the feed-back I have heard on this subject so far has been supportive of this idea although a few individuals have suggested an increased CPP should be mandatory and not voluntary. I wel-come your thoughts on this or any topic before the House of Commons.

I can be reached via email at [email protected] or toll free at 1-800-665-8711. Dan Albas is the MP for Okanag-an Coquihalla.

To get British Columbians active in preventing and stopping the spread of harmful invasive species, the B.C. gov-

ernment has declared June as Invasive Spe-cies Action Month.

Invasive species threaten the prov-ince’s environment,

economy and soci-ety, including human health.

“Stopping invasive species is possible if we change our behaviours and take action together,” said Gail Wallin, executive director of the Inva-sive Species Council of B.C.

“Increased pre-vention, detection and improved man-agement of invasive species can provide significant economic benefits to the prov-ince, businesses, industry, and cit-izens.”

To promote Inva-sive Species Action Month, a new web-site has been set up

at bcinvasives.ca and the public is encour-aged to post to social media using the hashtag #ActionOn-InvasivesBC.

The Invasive Spe-cies Council of B.C. will highlight specific areas of focus for each week of Invasive Spe-cies Action Month.

The first week launches a new cam-paign, Don’t Let It Loose!, that will edu-cate about the harm of releasing unwant-ed pets and aquarium plants into the wild.

The second week will focus on Plant-Wise, educating gar-deners and those in agriculture, ranch-ing and horticulture

about preventing and stopping the spread of invasive plants in B.C.

The third week is focused on aqua-tic invasive species, with special cam-paigns around Clean Drain Dry to encour-age boaters to take responsible actions to prevent the spread of invasive mussels and aquatic plants.

The fourth week will focus on outdoor recreation, reach-ing out to camp-ers and outdoor sports enthusiasts to remind them to Burn it Where you Buy it for firewood and Play Clean Go to remove debris from outdoor equipment to prevent spreading invasive species.

A full calendar is available at bcinva-sives.ca

Action urged to control invasive plants

Having contrib-uted many hours of sweat equity and fundraising to Agur Lake Camp, more than 50 members of the Penticton Adven-turers Club spent the day experiencing the wonders of the camp.

On May 22, mem-bers took the hour long bus ride to Agur Lake.

While there they walked the barrier-free trails, reading the interpretive pan-els around the lake along the way. These are the same trails many of the club members helped clear, cut and donate more than $500 to help create.

Some members used their walk-ers, some accepted a ride in a golf cart and all managed at their own pace to see everything.

The last stop was the three cabins at

The cabins are a joint project with the Okanagan College Faculty of Trades and Agur Lake Camp, as well as the many local businesses that have donated sup-plies or time towards these cabins.

Members then sat under the gazebo or trees while enjoying a barbecue and the birthday cake dessert for club techie/keep-er of trail details and pictures John Gullick. Afterwards some of the members partici-pated in a game of bocce.

When the caravan got back to Pentic-ton some five hours later, a few of the members were so impressed with Agur Lake they immedi-ately made a dona-tion towards it.

A truly incredible wife, mother, grandmother, and dear friend to many. On May 25, 2015 at approximately 10:00 pm, Terri passed away peacefully with her family by her side at the age of 64 years. Terri will be sadly missed by her loving husband Hans, children Stephen (Veronika), Katherine, Matthew, and three beautiful grandchildren Matthew and Stefani (Steve) and Sophia (Matthew). Terri was born in Edmonton in 1950 where she grew up, attended university, and met her husband Hans. In 1980, Terri moved to Kelowna with her husband and children to be closer to her parents Josef and Stefania. Terri spent many years volunteering at St. Joseph’s Elementary School where she eventually became the secretary. Terri retired in 2010 and moved to Summerland with her husband Hans and son Matthew. In Summerland, Terri spent time volunteering at a local animal charity and thrift store. Her battle against cancer was courageous and hard fought. She truly was a warrior. Terri had a profound impact on all those who were given the opportunity to know her. Th e dedication, generosity, and compassion that she applied to the many endeavors that she undertook through the course of her life leaves a lasting legacy to her name. She will live on in our memories forever and will be greatly missed by the many who love her. A celebration of life will be held 10:00 am, Th ursday, June 4, 2015 at St. Charles Garnier Parish, 3645 Benvoulin Road, Kelowna, BC. Interment will take place at Memorial Park Cemetery, Kelowna, BC.
