Sunday markets approved

John Arendt

A weekly market on Main Street will begin in June and continue into late September.

On Monday, muni-cipal council voted to approve the Sunday markets.

“I think this is a good step moving forward,” said Coun. Erin Carlson.

The market will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Main Street from Victoria Road to Kelly Avenue.

The markets are an initiative of the Sum-merland Rotary Club.

Members of coun-cil hope the weekly markets will increase business for the downtown mer-chants.

“I think this is a real boost for our town,” said Coun. Erin Trainer.

Coun. Doug Holmes said the mar-kets will attract more customers to the community.

Mayor Peter Waterman said the market will be a good opportunity for the community.

“We will do every-thing we can to

ensure its success,” he said.

The Sunday mar-ket concept was presented in April as a way to gener-ate activity on Main Street.

“This is some-thing that will bene-fit our community at large,” said Todd Laidlaw of True Grain Bread, a Main Street business.

“It will give Sum-merlanders an oppor-tunity to go some-place on Sundays and to have fun.”

While the market concept received the

support of the major-ity of Main Street businesses, one mer-chant, Shane Smith of Summerland Home Hardware, had concerns about the location, men-tioning the poten-

tial loss of business resulting from a lack of parking in front of the store.

In a letter to coun-cil, Smith suggested Memorial Park instead of Main Street for the market.

“I feel that the park is a much bet-ter option to hold an event on Sundays in the summer,” the let-ter stated.

“On a hot day, wandering around under the shade of trees is a beautiful setting for a market or a variety of differ-ent events.”

H e a d d e d the mar-ket on M a i n S t r e e t w o u l d i n t e r -fere with parking in front of his business.

To accommodate Home Hardware’s concerns, a num-ber of parking stalls on Wharton Street will be reserved for Home Hardware customers during the markets each week.

“This is something that will benefit our com-munity at large. It will give Summerlanders an opportunity to go some-place on Sundays and to have fun.”

Six finalists from the Central Okanag-an Regional Science Fair, along with two

chaperones attended the Canada-Wide Science Fair in Fred-ericton, New Bruns-

wick, during the week of May 11 to 16.

The team con-

sisted of Charley Smith, a three-time finalist; Grant Man-siere, a two-time

finalist; and Patri-cia Humer, Jeanine Looman, Jacqueline Mansiere and Emily

Moseley, all first-time finalists.

After nearly 12 hours of travel and a day of adjusting to the four-hour time change, the finalists spent eight hours being judged on their science fair projects.

Four of the six earned medals in an award ceremony held on Friday, May 15.

Grant Mansiere, a Summerland Second-ary School student, received the Chal-lenge Award for Top Project in Category and Gold Medal which includes $250 plus scholarships to a variety of Canadian institutions.

Smith of Penticton Secondary School received a Challenge Award for Top Pro-ject in Category and Silver Medal includ-ing scholarships to a variety of Canadian institutions.

Jacqueline Man-siere of Summer-land Middle School and Emily Moseley, a Summerland stu-

dent at KVR Middle School earned bronze medals.

British Columbia as a province faired exceptionally well at the national science fair with the major-ity of the awards coming to the west coast of Canada including the Best in Fair award winner and the runner up, both from the Lower Mainland.

These results came on the heels of accom-plishments by two other students from British Columbia competing at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair held annually in Pittsburgh, Penn.

Those students were awarded $75,000 each for their accomplishments.

Science fairs and science fair pro-jects continue to be a way for students to explore the world around them, use inquiry-based learn-ing, and, contribute to the greater good of the world.

Former Summerland CAO awarded $65,250 in damages

Dale BoydBlack Press

The former chief administrative officer (CAO) of Summer-land will be award-ed $65,250 in dam-ages from the City of Williams Lake after a decision handed down by the Supreme Court of B.C.

The punitive dam-ages awarded to Donald DeGagne were equivalent to six months notice after a two-year legal battle with the city over his dismissal.

The ruling made by Justice Jane Dardi was announced on May 15, compensat-ing for six month’s pay, loss of DeGa-gne’s pension and other benefits for six months and his relocation cost to Wil-liams Lake, $643, as well as one third of his legal costs. She ruled against award-ing special or puni-tive damages to DeGagne.

The dismissal cost the city about $200,000, including its own legal fees. DeGa-gne also sought dam-ages for defamation as well as for alleged breaches of the Com-munity Charter, but was unsuccessful.

The civil suit relates to the dismiss-al of DeGagne by the City of Williams Lake in 2013. He was sup-posed to step into the new role of CAO on March 1, 2013, but on Feb. 27, 2013 the city terminated his con-tract of employment.

According to court documents, DeGagne was interviewed for the position in January 2013 and it was offered to him by the city.

The documents say he was emailed by the city’s human resour-ces manager asking if he would agree to a press release announ-cing DeGagne as the new CAO before the employment contract was signed. The press released was issued by the city announ-cing DeGagne as the new CAO and listing his start date.

The mayor of Wil-liams Lake at the

time, Kerry Cook, phoned DeGagne to congratulate him on his new position on Feb. 14, 2013.

The contract was signed and sent to the city.

On Feb. 18, 2013, Cook received an anonymous let-ter which was very critical of DeGagne and his perform-ance as the former CAO of Summer-land. After discus-sions with the CAO at the time, the city decided to terminate DeGagne’s contract. The anonymous let-ter was unsigned and unsourced and was not included in the court documents.

DeGagne was emailed a termina-tion letter, which was reproduced in the court documents.

“It is with some regret that I must advise that last night City Council resolved to terminate the con-tract of employment that the City recently entered into with you for the CAO position,” the email reads.

“Council acknow-ledges that you will have incurred certain expenses in relation to your anticipated relocation to Williams Lake and is prepared to compensate you in that connection for your reasonable expenses.”

The email goes on to say DeGagne would receive payment of one months salary and that it would be “in both parties inter-est to issue a mutual press release.”

Justice Dardi states in the documents that the conclusion reached by the city was informed “at least in part” by the con-tents of the anonym-ous letter. She also states that because DeGagne hadn’t com-menced employment, he hadn’t entered the probationary period outlined in his con-tract.

Dardi also cleared Cook and the city council of the day of any “malicious or outrageous conduct.”

Home StagingWith the housing market being a little slower than it has been in years past homeowners are looking for ways to increase their properties appeal to purchasers. One such way is to “stage” your property. Experience has shown that professionally staged properties sell quicker and for more money. Developers have been using this technique with their “show homes” for many years.Staging, simply put, is using selected furniture and accessories to highlight the architectural details of your home, creating an attractive environment which stimulates the prospective purchaser. The buyer views your home as a warm, inviting space. Anyone who has watched HGTV on television has seen what a difference this can make in the appearance of a home. Many purchasers are now viewing properties online first before they decide to go further. If those pictures create that spark of interest, then staging has been well worth it.Designers can assist a homeowner by providing recommendations for those who wish to make the changes themselves or they handle all the details. As with most things, your budget dictates what can be done!

VICTORIA – Opposition polit-icians were outraged over the B.C. govern-ment’s latest effort to secure its first major liquefied natural gas deal, announced last week.

Premier Christy Clark, Natural Gas Development Minis-ter Rich Coleman and Finance Minister Mike de Jong signed agree-ments with Pacific Northwest LNG for a long-term gas royalty structure that could run for 30 years.

The government says the deal guar-antees minimum roy-alty revenue for the province, while the investors increase their revenue if the spread between gas prices in North Amer-ica and Asia increases during the term.

Pacific Northwest is a partnership of some of the biggest invest-ors and gas customers: Malaysian state giant Petronas, its Canadian subsidiary Progress Energy, Chinese state firm Sinopec, Indian Oil Corp. and Japan Petroleum.

These corporate

giants will review a project development agreement, and if they approve, Clark will convene the legislature to approve changes that would compensate them if the new LNG income tax increases.

E n v i r o n m e n t a l changes such as a “ d i s c r i m i n a t o r y ” carbon tax increase or greenhouse gas regulations on LNG would also trigger compensation. Future changes to general carbon tax or corpor-ate income tax rates would not.

NDP leader John Horgan warned that “too much lolly” is being offered, with no word of job guaran-

tees for B.C. or a deal with First Nations at the proposed site near Prince Rupert.

“My biggest con-cern is that we’re tying the hands of future governments because a desperate govern-ment made commit-ments that they over-promised on and now they want to get a deal at any cost,” Horgan said.

Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver called it “shocking and irresponsible,” repeating his predic-tion that the global market is swimming in gas and will never support huge green-field projects across B.C.

For the invest-ors,   it’s  like a mort-gage. There are “sub-jects” to be removed before the deal closes, and this is a proposed $36 billion mortgage for pipelines, LNG processing and ship-ping facilities.

This isn’t just a political dispute. For example, Progress has drilled about 500 gas wells in north-eastern B.C., and Petronas took it over

with this develop-ment in mind. With-out exports, B.C.’s whole gas industry is looking at a bleak future of low prices and demand.

Petronas delayed its investment deci-sion to this year and cited exactly these concerns, certainty on taxation and roy-alties beyond the election cycle. With that in hand, their obstacles remain fed-eral environmental approval and a rev-enue sharing deal with a First Nation to host a terminal.

Pacific Northwest CEO Michael Culbert notes that answers to questions posed by the Lax Kw’alaams First Nation were submitted to federal regulators only days before they started voting on a $1 billion share of LNG pro-ceeds over 40 years.

The vote was a resounding no, despite a redesign that put pipelines on a suspension bridge over the most sensi-tive salmon habitat. Culbert suggests that given some time to

examine environ-mental mitigation work, that answer may change.

Does aboriginal title offer a veto over projects like this? According to the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision on the Tsilhqot’in case, the short answer is no. Objections could be overridden if gov-ernments determine a project is in the interest of the greater public.

Talks have taken place with 19 First Nations affected by pipelines and facili-ties, and 14 have agreed. While they continue with Lax Kw’alaams and other Tsimshian Nations on the coast, it’s worth recalling that others are not so reluctant.

The Nisga’a Nation has identified four sites as suitable for LNG terminals with a shorter pipe-line route to the coast than Prince Rupert.

YOUR VIEWS

A proposed Sunday market in Summerland has the potential to bring plenty of business into the community.

The markets will begin in late June and will continue to late September.

The potential economic benefits are worth the efforts.

Anyone who has spent time at the Penticton Farmers’ Market on a Saturday can see the advantages of a downtown street market on the weekend.

The Penticton market draws an assort-ment of vendors and attracts many cus-tomers to the area.

While Summerland already has a weekly market, the weekend market will accommodate those customers who can-not attend the Tuesday morning sched-ule.

Summerland has worked with down-town markets in the past, on Victoria Road on Friday evenings. While these markets brought some customers to the downtown area, the Sunday time slot will likely prove more convenient for custom-ers who work on weekdays.

Summerland has held special week-end market events in the past. In the 1990s, the community held a series of one-day weekend festivals on Main Street in an attempt to draw customers to the downtown area. These events were well attended and became important attrac-tions for the community.

When customers come to browse the vendor booths at a downtown market, they will also take the time to check out the stores, restaurants and coffee shops. This is an immediate benefit for the down-town businesses.

In addition, the markets can help to raise the profile of the downtown area as a whole.

Summerland’s existing downtown businesses, as well as small and seasonal businesses, deserve the opportunity to showcase themselves through a regular weekend market.

By working together, the vendors and businesses involved will be able to pro-mote themselves and the community as a whole using this special event.

EDITORIALMarket value

Dear Editor:Premier Christy

Clark and the rest of her government show only “curled lip” support for the Agricultural Land Reserve.

Agriculture min-ister Norm Letnick spoke a lot of gobble-dygook as he tried to explain the firing of the land commission chair Richard Bullock five months before the completion of his five-year term so as to have “easier transi-tion” to the new chair who just happened to be named and ready.

There will, I am sure, soon be appli-cations made to the land commission for non-agricultural use of ALR lands.

Richard Bullock, who did sincere, ser-ious work during his term, might not be approving of some of the ideas, whereas the new chair may look more favourably at the submissions.

As Bullock says, there is a lot of truly valuable ALR land in the north which will only become more important as the warming climate dries out some south-ern areas but helps lengthen the growing

season in the north. But protection of the ALR?

This uncouth move by the government displays hypocrisy at

its finest.Sheila WhiteSummerland

Got a match?There were a lot of campers in the woods last weekend but a soggy Sunday shortened the experience for many of them. Even though some areas seemed to get a thorough soaking, the forests are still dry and the risk of wildfires is high. Smokey the Bear didn’t make an appearance until 1944, but in 1938 George Powrie seemed to be starting his own campaign: “Be safe—cook without fire.” (And without food apparently.) You don’t have to go to those extremes, but please be extra careful when enjoying the great outdoors.

Land is needed for agriculture

Dear Editor:I attended the  anti-Bill

C-51 rally in Kelowna last Tuesday night, along with about 120 others.

The bill basically makes disagreeing with the govern-ment a crime, and everyone seemed to agree that it’s a clear attempt by Harper to kill Canadians’ right to dis-sent.

My message: The number one job of Canadians who care about this country is to unseat Harper in the October election.

Justin Trudeau made a stra-

tegic decision to support the intent of the bill, which was to reassure fearful Canadians, while offering amendments to fix its huge flaws.

Trudeau  said Harper could accept the amendments or run against them in the election. And he promised to revamp the bill if elected.

When asked last week on Global television if he would rescind Bill C-51, NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair said, if elect-ed, he would fix it.

There is  no real difference between Trudeau and Mul-cair on this.

Both want to win the elec-tion. Each has his own strat-egy.

In October Canadians will face the most import-ant choice in a generation. We must remove Harper and rebuild the Canada he is dis-mantling.

To the NDP: Trudeau is not the enemy. To all Canadians: Please give to and actively support a progressive party.

And, above all, vote because a low turnout means another win for Harper.

Bob NicholsonPenticton

Harper must be defeated

Dear Editor,I want to thank,

one more time, a motorist who helped me cope with an awkward occurrence at the Jubilee-Kelly intersection on the morning of Wednes-day, May 13.

I was on my elec-tric scooter crossing Jubilee, in the middle of the road in front

of a couple of cars waiting for me to pass, when I heard a crash behind me. The canopy on the scooter had fallen on the pavement.

A motorist in the lead vehicle quickly left his car, told me to go to the sidewalk and he would bring over the canopy.

Then he said he

would park his car and come back to help reattach the canopy. This hadn’t happened before and I wasn’t sure how things fit together. When the motorist returned, he knelt down, found the fit-ting for the canopy attachment, tight-ened the bolt, and things were okay

once again.This is an example

of how good things, in the way of assist-ance from others, can happen in Summer-land when someone could use some help.

I really appreci-ated the very will-ing, prompt, effective help I received.

Dog owners who leave their animals locked in a hot car on a summer day could face criminal charges as a result, Summer-land RCMP say.

Cpl. Bruce Haley of the Summerland RCMP detachment said police receive

calls about animals left in hot cars dur-ing the warmer months.

When the outside temperature is 25, the temperature inside a

car can approach 50. If the outside temper-ature is 32, the inside of a locked car can top 70 within 10 min-utes.

Haley said police

will break a vehicle window if necessary in order to release a dog in distress, leav-ing the owner with the repair bill.

In addition, owners

can face criminal charges for the neg-lect of an animal. The charges can include a fine of up to $500 or up to six months in jail.

Barriers will be removed from roadThe no-post bar-

riers along Prairie Valley Road will be removed and replaced with a painted asphalt curb,

no-parking signs and speed control devices.

The high barriers had been installed on the road between

Saunders Crescent and Darke Road late last year as safety improvements.

Soon after the bar-riers were installed, the municipal-ity received a peti-tion from property owners in the area, complaining about

the appearance of the barriers, difficult driveway access, a lack of on-street parking, snow clear-ing issues and safety hazards.

The municipality later held a neigh-bourhood open house meeting to

allow residents to comment further on possible solutions for the area.

Following this meeting, munici-pal staff recom-mended the bar-riers be removed and replaced with a painted asphalt

curb and no parking sings.

Staff also recom-mended two speed bumps be installed to reduce the speed in the area.

Council members rejected the speed bumps but agreed with the removal of

the barriers.“It’s absolutely

clear to us the bar-riers are not accept-able,” said Mayor Peter Waterman.

The resolution to remove the no-post barriers received unanimous council support.

A brand dedicated to happiness. That is how Harry Holman describes the online community he is building through his website.

Freemind Apparel Co, is a place where youth can speak openly about mental health.

“The reason people don’t want to talk about it is because there is a stigma associated with it,” explained Holman.

“If you break your arm, the first thing you say is ‘I better go to the hospital.’ If your mind is not functioning properly, you say ‘I’ll hide it because I don’t want anyone to know.’ It’s really sad.”

Holman himself grew up living with obsessive compulsive

d i s -o r d e r (OCD).

“ I t w a s s o m e -thing I n e v e r t a l k e d a b o u t . I hid it f r o m everybody,” he said.

“When I got to university the extra stresses kicked it up a notch and it really started to control me. I wouldn’t be able to go to bed for half an hour to 45 minutes because I’d be doing checks and compul-sions.”

A family friend had once told Hol-man, that if his com-pulsions ever started to be a problem or to interfere with his daily life, that he should seek help.

“So I went and got help,” Holman said.

His psychiatrist helped to educate him

on what was happen-ing and helped him to find ways to con-trol his thoughts.

“One of my favor-ite quotes is ‘The mind is a beautiful servant yet a terrible master’, said Hol-man. “It’s unbeliev-ably true if you let your mind run out of control.”

For the next year Holman set about working on himself and applying what he had learned about how to control his thoughts. He was able to face his OCD straight on.

If he had a deep feeling of having to do something, he was able to change his mind set, by ask-ing himself if he really had to do it and what would be the worst that would happen if he didn’t do it.

Every day when he woke up he would do the things that he had

been taught would help him.

He did very well for about six months and was feeling much happier.

It was while he was on a trip to Las Vegas with some friends that he brought on what his doctor called a self–induced state of psychosis.

“Lack of sleep, lack of eating, too much drinking and mari-juana” were the rea-sons explained Hol-man.

“I was manic and that lasted three to four days until I was taken to the psychi-atric ward where I stayed for a week. At the time I hated it but it was exactly what I needed.”

After returning to university Holman slipped into a state of depression.

“I didn’t want to leave my room or have any connection with anybody.”

He dropped out of university and returned home to his parents. He got a job as a server.

“That was a huge step towards recov-ery because of the constant interaction with people,” said Holman. “It really helped with the self- esteem and confi-

dence.” Eventually Hol-

man started to talk about what he had gone through and how he was doing.

“It really helped me get better by talk-ing,” he said. “It’s really therapeutic.”

He found too,

that in opening up to others, it allowed them to drop their barriers and open up to him.

It has been through his life experience that Holman has been led to what he is doing now.

Not only has he developed his web-site but he is also

w o r k -ing with o t h e r m e n t a l h e a l t h agencies and is speaking publicly, s h a r i n g his story.

H o l -man sees a future where society will talk openly about mental illness. He has coined the phrase, ‘We are the genera-tion leaving stigma behind.’

As he works to help others, he con-tinues to care for his

own mental health by meditating daily, using visualization techniques and posi-tive affirmations. He ensures that he eats well and gets enough sleep.

“In my opinion there is nothing more important than being happy,” said Hol-man.

“That’s exactly why I am trying to help others find hap-piness.”

Summerland Review Thursday, May 28, 2015 L i f e s t y L e www.summerlandreview.com 8

Japan has some fairly major holi-days in the year; The Emperor’s Birthday on Dec. 23, Coming of Age Day on the second Monday in January, Ocean Day on the third Monday in July, etc. These are to just name a few.

These holidays, however, pale in comparison to the

wonderful Golden Week.

Many holidays happen to fall during the last week in April and the first week in May.

This creates a huge holiday for govern-ment workers as it usually amounts to a full week off of work.

This comes as a

relief to many people, especially since April is the start of the fis-cal year, creating a lot of work and training with very little free time.

During Golden Week, traveling in Japan becomes tiring, and very expensive.

Places like Kyoto and Tokyo are packed with tourists

trying to take in the sights leading to long queues, and large crowds.

However, traveling outside of Japan is quite cheap. So dur-ing my Golden Week, I traveled to Bali.

This trip was my final holiday while living in Japan, and I was really looking forward to it.

I always find the changing of the fiscal year to be a bit sad, and stressful; saying goodbye to cowork-ers potentially for-ever and readjusting to new coworkers way of working with you is a pretty tough task.

I wasn’t the only one looking forward to it either; one friend

who joined me on my holiday had worked around 40 days in a row averaging 12 hours a day. So she was definitely long over-due for her time off.

After 10 days filled with scuba diving, kayaking, and swimming, we returned home to Hokkaido.

To our dismay, we had completely missed the cherry blossoms of the year; they started just after we left, and fin-ished just before we returned.

But regardless of our luck, there is nothing better than stepping off a long flight into the refresh-ing, cool, Hokkaido air.

Instead of sharing a Japanese proverb this month, I’d like to share an English proverb that my school loves, “One for all, and all for one.” One class in the Junior High school uses this as their class slogan.

Anna Marshall is in Summer-land’s sister city of Toyokoro, Japan as the assistant English teacher.

10 www.summerlandreview.com L i f e s t y L e Thursday, May 28, 2015 Summerland Review

This week is the final constituency week before the House of Commons adjourns in late June for what is expected to be the final sitting of the 41st Parlia-ment.

C o n s t i t u e n c y weeks are important for Members of Par-liament as they pro-vide an opportunity to meet with groups and citizens in our home ridings to hear feedback and in many cases provided assistance in dealing with federal govern-ment programs and services.

Later in the week I will be travelling to the Lower Main-land to participate

in a skills training related announce-ment that will outline details for a new pro-gram that will soon be available in many parts of Canada.

What is exciting about this announce-ment is that the idea for the program in

question originated with a citizen who lives within our rid-ing of Okanagan-Coquihalla and his team at a B.C.-based post-secondary insti-tution.

Although this is not the first time a local citizen from our region has submit-ted a suggestion that resulted in national attention, it is from my own experience the first time a pro-gram has come for-ward from a local proposal to be imple-mented by govern-ment.

In my view the fact that a private citizen living in a relatively small community can submit an idea that

can have national implications is excit-ing.

It is also a testa-ment to the import-ance of feedback, input and sugges-tions put forward by citizens to elected officials that in turn can be presented dir-ectly to the level of government they are elected to represent.

While this pending announcement will likely not receive a significant amount of media attention nor the fact that it came from a proposal from a private citizen, it

is important to rec-ognize the difference that Canadians can make in contributing ideas in how to build a stronger Canada.

In my brief time as an elected official I have been fortun-ate to be involved in changes both related to local government and more recently the federal govern-ment.

Many of these changes all came from ideas and sug-gestions from citizens and is one of the rea-sons why each year I do a listening tour.

For those of you who frequently read my weekly reports you will know that each week I ask cit-izens to always feel free to contact me with comments, questions and con-cerns on matters before the House of Commons.

This is often where ideas come from and I would like to thank the many citizens who do take the time to respond and invite others to give me a call or send an email.

When citizens work together with

their elected repre-sentatives we can continue to build a stronger Canada.

Noir captured double gold for Pinot Noir Under $25 in all of Canada.

The winery also won gold medals for Naughty Chardon-nay, Not So Knotty Chardonnay, Woo Woo Gewurztrami-ner and Kay-Syrah. In addition, Dirty Laun-dry took part in the International Wine

The Say Yes Pinot Gris and Threadbare Vines Gewurztrami-ner each took home a silver medal.

This was the first time Dirty Laundry’s wines have been rec-ognized on a global scale.

These awards

added to an already decorated list. The winery’s signature red and white blends, Dangerous Liaison and Secret Affair, respectively, were crowned People’s Choice Winners for Best Red and Best White at the recent Rocky Mountain Wine Fest in Calgary and Edmonton.

The Giant’s Head Run isn’t just a com-munity event.

It’s proudly become a family experience.

I ran into Diane Pew as she registered several family mem-bers this past week.

She explained she’s run the race for more than 20 years. Ever since moving to Summerland from Osoyoos in 1991, she’s been in the race.

It has metamorph-osed over the years.

She started running the 5.4-kilometre course, then ran the 10-km a couple of times.

She ran it when her two daughters Kelsey and Kendall were in Grade 4 and 7.

At that time, they did the children’s Man of Steel triath-lon, and husband Jon, would join all of them for the 5.4-km run together.

“We thought it was a really good com-munity event,” she

said. “We just moved here and the people were so friendly.”

“I think my chil-dren were sports minded already, but we had never done a family race. We all really enjoyed it. Of course, I was last.” she said. “When I turned 65, I started to run. It was my goal. I did a half marathon in Kelowna that year too. But I didn’t like being last. I did the 10km Giant’s Head Run a second time,

and I was second last that time,” she recalled. “Now my four-year-old grand-daughter, Kamryn, will run with me. She ran with me on the last bit on my half marathon in Kelow-na last year. We were hand in hand through the finish line.”

What Diane might not realize, that to her granddaughter, whether she finishes first or almost last, she is a positive role model and inspiring.

I am sure it was a memorable proud moment as they crossed the finish line together and quite possibly there were emotional onlookers in the crowd.

I find it always a tearjerker when I see the little ones run-ning through the fin-ish line with mom, dad or grandparents nearby.

Getting the whole family active, and motivated to lead more active healthy lives is such a posi-tive element of our community.

With more than 700 participants at the starting line, the atmosphere is ener-gizing.

Although many are competing for a time, most are enjoying the friendly race as they cheer each other on and take part in a positive community event.

With great T-shirts, medals to top three finishers in 22 differ-ent categories, and more than $2,000 worth of draw prizes, the Giant’s Head Run is always a highlight of the Action Festival Weekend.

If you want to cheer on the runners on Saturday, June 6, the race begins at 6 p.m. at the Library on Wharton Street and finishes in front of the Aquatic Centre on Kelly Avenue.

Early bird entry fees for the Giant’s Head Run and Man of Steel Triathlon are available until Friday May 29. You can register online at www.runningroom.com or in person at the Aquatic Centre.

Joanne Malar is the program coordin-ator for Summerland Recreation, three-time Olympic swim-mer, 2012 Olympic Commentator, kin-esiologist and holis-tic nutritionist.

Three Lakes Tri-athlon Series have secured two major sponsors for the Peach Classic Tri-athlon scheduled for July 19. Schoenne Homes of Penticton are the title sponsor for this year, while the Lakeside Resort comes on as the official host hotel. Bruce Schoenne, a housing developer in Penticton, has been involved in the

Peach Classic the last couple of years and wanted to see some of his initiatives car-ried forward.

He stepped for-ward and offered to take those on as the title sponsor.

“The big winners here are the athletes,” said Peach Classic race director Steve Brown in a press release.

“Schoenne Homes is going to directly fund the photog-raphy packages for

each and every ath-lete. Every athlete gets a full photog-raphy package of their race for free.”

Brown added this is just the first step in what is hoped to be a longer term rela-tionship with plans already underway for next year and beyond. With the Lakeside Resort, Brown said this strengthens a relationship that has existed before, but unofficially for a couple of years.

Summerland Review Thursday, May 28, 2015 L i f e s t y L e www.summerlandreview.com 15

Last week students from Summerland Secondary presented Dating for Dummies at Centre Stage The-atre. Later this week and next week a number of plays and concerts will be per-formed at the Shatford Centre in Penticton.   

First up is a new group who call them-selves the Shatford Players. They are presenting Colleen Curran’s play Cake-Walk tonight, Friday and Saturday in the Shatford Auditorium. 

Curran, who some of you may have heard interviewed by Dennis Walker on socountry.ca Monday morning, is a Canadian author who has written an amazing story filled with humour, laugh-ter, jealousy, pain and love.   

In Cake-Walk, Cur-ran has developed each of the six charac-ters at different “turn-ing points” in their lives, and throws them together for the annual Canada Day town fair.  As so often happens in life, the journey is the most fun – or is it all fun?  Watch it and find out.

Next up are the Cawston Players with an edgy black comedy that touch-es on loaded topics of misogyny, racial prejudice, and homo-phobia in its comic pummelling of mid-dle class sensibilities. 

Please be advised that God of Carnage, contains adult themes and coarse language.

Showgirls, glitz and glamour are at the Shatford Cen-tre June 6 when the Celebration Singers, of Kelowna, present Babes Hit Hollywood and some of the most iconic songs heard on the big screen. 

This all-female, auditioned, non-profit

singing group invite you to tap, snap, and clap along to outstand-ing film hits; featuring music from movies such as Pitch Perfect, Saturday Night Fever, Dreamgirls, Dirty Dancing and Slumdog Millionaire.

In addition to drama and music there are several art exhibitions in the next few weeks.

Both of Sum-merland’s painting groups will be dis-playing (and selling) their works. 

First up are the

Summerland Pleasure Painters with their Art Show and Sale this weekend at the St. Stephen’s Angli-can Church Hall.  

The Summerland Art Club will be holding their annual Show and Sale dur-ing the Action Festi-val weekend when over 20 artists will be presenting new, ori-ginal works in water-colour, acrylics, oil, pastels and pencil in the lower floor of the Summerland Library on Wharton Street.

For times, prices and more details on these and other cul-tural events in our area see the Art Coun-cil’s website or sub-scribe to the e-Palette.

David Finnis is the publicity chair and past president of the Summerland Community Arts Council, P.O. Box 1217, 9908 Main St., Summerland, B.C. V0H 1Z0.

Plays, concerts will be staged

Arts PAlette

David FinnisDance studentsThe Summerland School of Dance competitive dance team members had their highest scoring year in competition yet to date. Competing against several other registrants, from Vancouver to Alberta, this year the teams took home two third-place plaques, a second-place plaque, and a first-place trophy. Among those awards, silvers, several golds, and high gold medals were awarded to the team members as well. The next team auditions will be held at the beginning of the dance season in September/October. Summerland School of Dance will hold a year-end recital on the evenings of May 2 and 30 with a matinee on May 31. Tickets can be purchased at Summerland School of Dance as well as at Coco’s Fashions and Finery. Come cheer on the students at Centre Stage Theatre. Please note payment for tickets is via cash or cheque only.
