we expected, so we are absolutely thrilled,” said Walchshöfer.

“The in-boxes are full from Challenge Family especially from Europeans but also a lot of athletes from Canada and the States that are asking when online (registration) is going to start.”

The organizers of the new race already have successful events in Germany, New Zealand and the Canary Islands, Penticton is their ¿rst foray into North America. The Challenge Penticton event invited in-person registration on Monday morning and it was opened up worldwide online on Tuesday.

“The 9 a.m. registration is a bit dif¿cult for the Europeans because it will be midnight, but I already got a lot of emails from people staying up to be ¿rst in line to register, so that is very, very promising,” said Walchshöfer.

Laura Campbell was grinning ear to ear as she came out of the SOEC as a registered participant for the 2013 Challenge Penticton.

“I think it is amazing. I know a lot of people might be pissed but I was excited,” said the Vancouver native of the changeover.

“I thought that in the future I would love to try a Challenge series event and now I get to. Doing the actual event is what means the most to me. I don’t care about a brand, it’s the fact I am doing that distance.”

For Penticton’s Colin Madill, who missed the bike cutoff by just a minute on Sunday, the news of the change over to the Challenge was “devastating.”

Something was decidedly missing down at Ironman ground zero at Rotary Park on Monday.

“A little bit different atmosphere down here today,” said one man casually milling about the mostly empty park which is normally a hive of activity the day after Ironman Canada in Penticton.

Instead of the seemingly endless snaking lines of people wanting to sign up for next year’s event, there was just one for racers who took part in Sunday’s 30th and ¿nal Penticton Ironman looking to pick up of¿cial ¿nishers’ gear.

“I was standing at the start of the swim (Sunday) morning and probably had about 500 athletes hug me and I was crying the whole time,” said former owner of Ironman Canada Graham Fraser. “I always made sure I took care of the athletes ¿rst and it was nice to see them acknowledge that this morning.”

Fraser rode the bike portion of Ironman on Sunday, taking in the atmosphere of the ¿nal Ironman race in Penticton. He said in his wildest dreams he would have never thought this triathlon that started with just a handful of competitors would grow so popular. Looking forward, Fraser said he knows when it is time for him to go and he won’t be involved in Challenge Penticton, which is taking over the triathlon.

“Penticton will be ¿ne. The one thing I know about this community is that it is resilient and it rallies around and ¿gures it out. It is a special place that way,” said Fraser. “So for the people of Penticton, don’t take this as a negative, take this as a new start.”

After 17 years at the helm of the Penticton Ironman, Fraser said he will cherish many wonderful memories.

“Penticton has been a special part of the history of the sport and that is the part the athletes know and it still will be. Penticton is a triathlon town,” said Fraser.

Meanwhile over at the South Okanagan Events Centre, people moved along rapidly through a lineup to register for the 2013 Challenge Penticton. Live music serenaded the crowd while food and drinks were handed out by the Challenge Family CEO Felix Walchshöfer, the mayor and members of city council.

“We are stoked, we had really good and positive feedback with hundreds of people coming up. That is actually more than

Crews rescue injured cyclist Mark Brett

Western News Staff

An avid Penticton mountain biker reportedly suffered serious head injuries as a result of an accident Monday morning on the KVR Trail.

The unidenti¿ed male cyclist, believed to be in his 60s, was airlifted by long line and helicopter from the crash site just east of Naramata Road about 6 p.m. Monday.

The victim is thought to have been taken to Kelowna General Hospital, however, his condition was not available at press time.

He had been reported missing several hours earlier by his wife when he failed to meet her at a parking lot near Poplar Grove Road.

A total of 17 members of Penticton Search and Rescue were mobilized in mid-afternoon and were just starting out when they received word the man had been found on one of the maze of trails that wind their way through the hilly region known as the Three Blind Mice.

“His friend called the RCMP to let them know he located him, that he was injured and needed to be evacuated as soon as possible,” said search manager Cindy Smith. “We’re not sure how long he had been laying there for, but there is a good possibility it could have been four or ¿ve hours.”

Once his location was determined, it was decided to get medical aid there as quickly as possible and evacuate him by the most ef¿cient means, which was by helicopter.

“We had already arranged to have the HETS (Helicopter External Transport System) high angle rope rescue team ready in the event we found him and he

The Penticton Hospitality Association has con¿rmed that the Jehovah’s Witnesses have chosen Penticton as a conference site for the next few years.

“The association is delighted to, yet again, welcome the Jehovah’s Witness organization to Penticton,” said Ed Brown, president of the PHA, which represents the Penticton hotels and motels. “Our relationship with them is going from strength to strength and I’d like to acknowledge the great efforts of my fellow board members, Trinka Pontes and Barb Schneiderat, who, in conjunc-

tion with Sally Pierce of the South Okanagan Events Centre, worked tirelessly to make this happen.”

Dean Clarke, general manager of the SOEC and the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre, con¿rmed the contract had been made, but declined to comment on the details.

The Jehovah’s Witnesses, he explained, had asked the SOEC management to hold off until they made their own of¿cial announcement, expected in November.

He did say, however, that Pierce and their team had been working hard to secure a long-term contract for the Jehovah’s Witness convention, expected to draw 2,500 attendees to Penticton in June 2013.

“This represents a signi¿cant commercial boost for the association’s members and the wider community as a whole,” said Brown.

Clarke said the convention is just part of what will be a banner year for the trade and convention centre.

This year, he said, has been a strong year for the centre, but 2013 will really show the fruits of their labours.

“We put our noses to the grindstone and were really able to secure a banner year for 2013,” said Clarke.

“We’ve done really well with booking the facility. We’ve focused on selling it, we’ve focused on going after conventions, we’ve focused on business in January and February and we are starting to see results.”

Attack on dog leaves woman in fear Kristi Patton Western News Staff

Kathy Klassen scrolls through pictures of bloodied clothes on her digital camera that look like something out of a horror movie.

These are images from one of the latest dog attacks in Penticton. One that left Klassen’s whippet, Pip, with numerous injuries and her owner with a bit of anxiety and a $2,200 vet bill that continues to grow.

“There was so much blood,” recalls Klassen of the incident that took place on Aug. 20.

Klassen had been walking her dog on leash in the Wiltse area when a rottweiler escaped its yard and attacked her dog. Klassen tried to intervene, but the rottie sunk its teeth into her dog’s hind area, legs, neck and took down Klassen, who was left with bruises on her legs and a nasty claw mark on her left hand. Klassen said she doesn’t know if she can walk the area again without the fear of another attack.

“It frightens me to think that the dog is still there and if a gate gets left open it will do it again.

I saw a woman who runs a day care walking with young children near there a few days ago and I wanted to scream at them to get the kids away,” said Klassen, who added she wishes the city would put the rottie in a secure area until it is rehabilitated.

Rose Gingras, dog control of¿cer, said she cannot comment on any incidents that are still under investigation at this time. She did stress the importance that people call her if there is an incidence of dog aggression or behaviours that could lead to future problems. This way a ¿le is built on the animal, the dog owners can be contacted to be made aware of the issue and it puts the onus on the owner, who could face ¿nes or possibly their dog being taken away.

In May, Jen Levesque-Ganzeveld had taken

her miniature dachshund, Poncho, to a friend’s house in Summerland like she had many times before. She let her dog out of the car and was walking towards the house when she heard a yelp.

“I looked back and a dog had my dog by the neck and he was ripping him back and forth,” she recalls of the incident. “I had to ¿ght him off with my leash because I couldn’t do anything else,

and at that point everyone ran out of the house because they could hear me screaming and it was pretty much too late. Poncho was laying on the ground and he had blood gushing out of his neck.

It was so traumatic, watching my dog getting attacked like that.”

Poncho was rushed to a vet clinic in Kelowna where he stayed for four days until they could stabilize the dog to do surgery. Dr. Laurel

Casey’s report shows Poncho had severe injuries to his neck due to not only being bit but shaken.

In the analysis, the vet said these types of bites tend to be malicious attacks with the intention of “severely injuring or even killing the victim.”

The vet bill ringed in at just over $2,000.

“I asked the owner to pay the vet bills and he hasn’t called me or even apologized. He hasn’t taken any responsibility, and when I called animal control to report it they said they couldn’t do anything because it happened on private property. All they said is they can go see him and tell him to do the right thing, but that is all they could do. I just recently found out his dog is alive,” said Levesque-Ganzeveld, who said she also heard from another woman that her puppy’s jaw was broken previously by the same dog.

Recently, a small Yorki-poo was also attacked and killed. Karen Scarfo said she was visiting family in Trout Creek when her dog, Amy, got out of the yard. Scarfo contacted dog control who informed her a small dog was killed earlier in the day and it was probably hers. Witnesses to the incident told Scarfo a dog was off-leash with its owner in the park by the tennis courts and started attacking Amy. Scarfo was told the witnesses informed the dog’s owner that it was hurting the smaller dog and the owner disagreed.

“Next thing they knew, my dog wasn’t moving,” said Scarfo.

While Scarfo admits the $50 ¿ne she was later administered for her dog being at large and not on a leash is warranted, it is worrisome that the other dog owner just received a $50 ¿ne as well.

“As a dog owner you need to intervene and take care of your dog and make sure it doesn’t hurt anything. What if it was a little kid playing around there? Would the dog have hurt it?” questioned Scarfo. “People just need to be more responsible if they are having their dogs offleash.”

Proposed changes to Lakeshore drive protest Steve Kidd Western News Staff

Car enthusiasts are gathering tonight at Okanagan Beach to protest proposed changes to parking and traf¿c Àow along Lakeshore Drive.

Clifford Martin is leading the charge. He feels the public hasn’t been given enough choice, with the Waterfront Committee narrowing the possible options down to just two, both of which would eliminate the angle parking along a portion of Lakeshore, replacing it with parallel parking.

“They gave us option A, option B without an option C to leave it as it is,” said Martin. “We’re just letting City Hall know that no, we don’t want a one-way street and no, we don’t want parallel parking. No, we don’t want all the big trees ripped out and no, we don’t want a big section of beach side either.”

That’s where the problem lies, according to Rod King, chair of the Waterfront Revitalization Select Committee. Space to accomplish changes the public told them they wanted in earlier input sessions had to come from somewhere. Overall, he said, people told them that the infrastructure need to be ¿xed and they wanted to see improvements as well.

“One, whatever you do, stay off the beach. It’s a small beach, let’s keep everything we have. The second thing was

the path needs an upgrade and it is much too narrow. Third thing was more trees, more shade, more picnic tables,” said King. “When you take staying off the beach and you want a wider path, by default you end up having to look at traf¿c Àow and or the parking issue.”

The two options presented during this round of public consultation, which included three public sessions and an online survey, are far from ¿nalized, according to King.

“We will have a look at all the online comments and choices that the public has made. As well, we will be looking at the summary of the three public displays and see if there is any overall thoughts coming through on either option A or option B or other themes coming through,” said King, indicating that parallel vs. angle parking could be one of those themes. “Out of that, hopefully, we could develop a further plan, which would then be up to council. We will be open to change and I am sure council will be looking to various options as well.”

Martin, who felt the round of public sessions wasn’t comprehensive enough, said his “Save Lakeshore Drive” group is determined to send a clear message about how they feel.

“I didn’t even know about it a week ago,” said Martin. “This is to show the city that if you are going to make changes, angle parking cannot be changed and a two-way street cannot be changed. What they want to do is to make Okanagan Lake into

what Skaha Lake already is. You’ve got Skaha for the walkers and the cyclists and the people that want a quiet beach.”

The changes to Lakeshore Drive, Martin said, will destroy what he calls “the best cruising strip in Western Canada.”

“Old cars go down there in the evening and it is almost like a tourist attraction. Everybody goes by and they stop and take pictures of the old cars with their hoods up,” said Martin, adding that he visits Lakeshore about 100 days a year with his vintage cars. But beyond that, he’s concerned about the logistics of people trying to parallel park.

“If somebody doesn’t know how to parallel park, you’ve got to stop the traf¿c, they have to try to negotiate in, which sometimes takes two or three tries. By this time, how long is it going to be before it is all backed up to the casino?” said Martin. “And they have this off-street parking. How many people with the kids and lawn chairs, towels and umbrellas are going to want off-street parking. Everybody is going to keep going around and around, trying to ¿nd that empty parallel spot, and how is that environmentally friendly?”

Martin’s group will be holding their protest rally tonight at 6 p.m. on Lakeshore Drive between Winnipeg and Power streets.

“If it ain’t broke, don’t ¿x it. Everybody loves it the way it is,” said Martin.

It’s not too often that you get a stalker of the non-human kind, but that’s exactly what happened for one Penticton resident while walking her dog last week.

Larissa Henschell had been walking her dog, a one-year-old malamute cross, up Green Avenue towards Valleyview Road, when they ran into a doe coming down the hill.

“First my dog started barking at it, so I expected it to run away, but instead it came towards us,” said Henschell. Her dog immediately returned to her, looking for protection, and Henschell decided it was best to get out of the deer’s way.

But the deer wasn’t giving up so easily.

“I would go away from the deer and it would follow us. I would go another direction and it would follow us again. At ¿rst, I thought it was just trying to get away from us, I was just trying to give it space, to move

to the other side of the road and give it an opportunity to take off.”

When Henschell’s dog took off and ran home she thought the deer would give up and she would be able to walk home in peace.

She was wrong.

The insistent deer continued to follow Henschell, until it was ¿nally driven off by a pair of men in a car.

Even then, it took them a couple of tries, honking at it and trying to chase it away, eventually herding it into a yard.

Conservation of¿cer Bob Hamilton is surprised the deer kept following Henschell, but he is not surprised the incident began with a dog.

All of the conÀicts with aggressive deer that he knows of have started with dogs, he said.

“Deer are taught from a young age that their enemy is coyote, and deer who have moved into town have seen this new type of coyote called a dog,” said Hamilton. “The deer have learned through experience that if you stand up to a dog, the dog will usually Àee.”

Still, transferring the aggression to a human is unusual. In this case, Hamilton said, the deer may need people to stand up to it. He says the prudent thing to do is get a good walking stick, a staff, and get into the habit of using it while walking.

“It aids in walking and certainly is a wonderful thing to have in your hand if you are feeling vulnerable,” said Hamilton. “What you don’t want to do, is you don’t want to run. These assertive deer have to have humans taking stands against them.”

While a deer cull is not imminent, the city is still in the process of determining if one would be necessary or effective, following up on the spring deer count.

“We’re in the process of getting ready for a fall count and getting the details together so we can advise council,” said Anthony Haddad, director of development services.

These are all factors council will need to be fully informed of before making the decision whether or not a deer cull would be necessary or effective, said Haddad.

An Oliver woman was sexually assaulted in broad daylight on Saturday.

RCMP report that the assaulted occurred around noon in the area of Church Street.

“A 36-year-old female reported that she was walking up Church Street in Oliver and could hear someone walking behind her getting closer. As she approached Okanagan Street, a male touched her buttocks and stated, ‘Let’s go have sex.’” said Cpl. Michael Field.

The woman turned around and pulled out her cell phone, attempting to get a photo of the male. She then followed the male on foot for approximately a block and took a photo of the man.

The suspect is described as East Indian, mid 20s to early 30s, six-foot-one, medium build, with short, clean-cut medium brown hair and the beginnings of a goatee. The man was wearing a white T-shirt, red basketball shorts and Àip Àop sandals.

“Although it is fortunate that the female victim in this case was not injured, for safety reasons, police do not recommend that victims attempt to pursue their assailants,” said Field.

Anyone with information in relation to this incident or who can identify the suspect are asked to contact the Oliver RCMP detachment at 250-498-3422.

EDITORIAL

End of Ironman puts city on a new course

O

ne of the largest sporting events ever to be hosted in the Okanagan has drawn to a close. And Penticton is now embracing the Challenge as it looks to the future.

As the ¿nal competitors made their way across the ¿nish line of the Subaru Ironman Canada Triathlon in Penticton Sunday night, work was already well underway on the preparations for the Challenge Penticton event that will replace it.

It’s hard to imagine that next year’s Challenge triathlon will attract the more than 2,500 athletes who took part in Penticton’s 30th and ¿nal Ironman. But with the Challenge Family’s signature event in Roth, Germany attracting more than 5,000 competitors, there is some reason for optimism for the future of the Penticton triathlon.

While the loss of the iconic Ironman name will diminish the appeal for many of those who come to Penticton for the last Sunday in August, the increasingly corporate feel the event has taken on in recent years has eroded some of the lustre among local residents.

When Graham Fraser sold his Ironman events to the World Triathlon Corporation, the company announced the city would have to pay a “promotion fee,” which reached $60,000 this year. This is on top of the more than $100,000 in in-kind services the city provides for Ironman. The increasing ¿nancial emphasis left a bad taste for many residents, who longed for the more community-oriented focus they enjoyed in years gone by.

The new Challenge Penticton event promises to restore some of that informal feel. Replacing the economic clout Ironman brought to Penticton is a formidable task. But the city has taken the ¿rst step on that long and challenging road ahead.

Studying projects to death NDP leader Adrian Dix has announced that one of his ¿rst acts as premier would be to withdraw B.C. from the joint review of the Enbridge pipeline proposal from Alberta to Kitimat.

The two-year federal-led review will be mostly done by next May, but Dix proposes to start a new provincial assessment to examine the B.C. portion. He doesn’t know how much it would cost, and under questioning he all but admitted the intention is to study the pipeline to death.

Fresh from a summer tour of the pipeline route to reaf¿rm solidarity with its opponents, Dix is hardly in a position to consider anything but maximum resistance. As Premier Christy Clark did in her showdown with Alberta over bene¿ts, Dix hinted that provincial permits for river and wildlife crossings would be made as expensive as possible, if not refused.

The same fate awaits the Kinder Morgan plan to twin the existing Trans-Mountain oil pipeline to Burnaby. Dix left the impression that he would undo the years of work that have gone into bringing some rational sense to environmental approvals that can be, and have been, dragged

B.C. Views out for years.

The B.C. hearings would provide another platform for opponents, and more complaints to justify refusal at the provincial level, to go along with court cases and direct-action protests.

Speaking of which, the frontal assault by agitators at the federal Enbridge hearings has mostly petered out. After 4,000-odd people were signed up to speak, most didn’t bother, and some hearings were cancelled. Apparently slacktivists such as “Jonathan L. Seagull” and “Cave Man” didn’t make it out of their Vancouver basement suites to tell the panel oil is bad.

Professional environmental-

ists are now wringing their hands over Ottawa’s decision to leave smaller-scale reviews to the province. This means, for example, that there won’t be a duplicate federal review of the urgently needed re¿t of the John Hart Dam on the Campbell River.

One reader suggested that environmental pioneer Roderick Haig-Brown is still spinning in his grave over the damming of this legendary salmon river. Perhaps, but that was in 1947. Does it make sense today to lard pointless bureaucracy onto a reconstruction that replaces wooden pipes and provides earthquake protection, without expanding river impact?

NDP environment critic Rob Fleming hammered away at the B.C. Liberals about this in the spring, reminding them that Auditor General John Doyle had exposed a lack of resources in the B.C. Environmental Assessment Of¿ce, even before Ottawa’s changes.

Fleming makes it sound like a huge new burden has been dumped on B.C. False. Provincial assessment already must be done with the participation of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Transport Canada, the provincial

ministries of natural resources and energy and mines, and of course aboriginal communities.

This is why it’s so long and expensive.

And don’t be fooled into believing that a federal review would go out and count the tadpoles and caribou again. It’s only the desk jobs that have proliferated.

There weren’t just two levels of duplicate review, but three.

Earlier in their mandate, the B.C. Liberals exempted major projects such as mines and energy generation from local government control, citing the “provincial interest” similar to the federal authority over projects that cross provincial borders.

I agree with the NDP that B.C. environmental assessment needs more resources, in particular to do the follow-up on approved projects, as called for by the auditor general.

Forest management needs more money too. All the more reason not to waste resources on political gestures.

Plan has city heading down the wrong road I am shocked and furious after learning the waterfront revitalization planners want to change Lakeshore Drive. It’s another case of dumb and dumber. First, to take out angled parking will eliminate a lot of the beach parking. With the current angled parking, you can pull into your spot and enjoy the lake view without turning your head 90 degrees like parallel parking.

The Peach City Beach Cruise would be cut in half for lack of parking. Parallel parking would be chaos. How many seniors or youth for that matter can parallel park? And how backed up would traf¿c be if it took someone two or three tries to parallel park?

To grass all the sand areas they want to will eliminate a lot of sunbathers. To have Lakeshore a one-way street will put huge traf¿c increases on residential Churchill and Alexander streets as well as back laneways for drivers wanting the shortest route back the opposite way. Lakeshore Drive traf¿c routes are perfect for tourism the way they are. If it ain’t broke, don’t ¿x it.

Lakeshore Drive (Sunset Strip) is the best car cruising strip

Explanation needed

The city administration recently created a boat mooring area immediately southeast of the SS Sicamous. I believe that a public explanation is owed to the citizens of Penticton by the administration of City Hall for the following questions: Why would the city administration change an existing land use that goes against the proposed plans for the West Okanagan Lake Waterfront that are advertised on the city’s website? The proposed boat moorage area is shown to the west of the SS Sicamous, so installing one to the east of the SS Sicamous is odd.

Why would the city administration make the changes in advance of the public consultation process it is now going through? The purpose of seeking public input is to be sure that proposed actions are consistent with public priorities.

Why would the city administration spend scarce public tax dollars to create a boat beaching area when 67.6 per cent of the respondents to the survey for the West Okanagan Lake Waterfront say that it is of little or no importance? An explanation is even more justi¿ed when 62.1 per cent of the respondents in that survey say that a boat dock area is also of little or no importance. I have always been under the impression that the expenditure of public monies must be consistent with the priorities of the public.

Taking actions that are inconsistent with advertised plans, that ignore a public consultation process and spending someone else’s money in a fashion that goes against the city’s own research on public priorities is inappropriate.

War canoes being restored

On Aug. 11, right after the Peachfest Parade wound up, a vintage Penticton war canoe made its way along Okanagan Lake.

This took place thanks to a stalwart crew of paddlers from the Penticton Racing Canoe Club, Penticton Paddling Centre, Raymond James Dragonboat Festival and the Survivorship Dragonboat Team, as well as volunteers from the SS Sicamous museum staff. Special thanks also go to Tyson Bull, veteran war canoe competitor, who helped the crew train to handle this very challenging and tricky craft.

Our goal is restore the remaining two vintage canoes, giving us three racing canoes, and holding a challenge race between three teams next summer, to bene¿t the charity of the winner’s choice. Canoe racing is a huge part of Penticton’s heritage — just check out the photos on display on the SS Sicamous in the war canoe display.

in Western Canada. Why do we want to screw that up with a one-way street and parallel parking? As for the cyclists (and I am one of them), they have the whole town to ride in. The bike lanes on Government Street are seldom used (I drive it daily and live one block from it). The biggest and major bicycle hazard on Lakeshore is the four-wheeled rental bikes that take up lanes, slow traf¿c, have extremely poorly lighting from behind and no headlights.

This is the biggest hazard on Lakeshore. They are a lot of fun for the tourists and I personally rented one a few weeks ago with my guests and then realized how dangerous they really are.

Give them better lighting and keep them off the busy streets, especially Lakeshore. Without them on Lakeshore, bicycle traf¿c will be safer for all without changing traf¿c patterns or angle parking.

The biggest revitalization should be of the brain cells of whatever idiots came up with these lame ideas. These so-called planners must seldom use Lakeshore Drive and do their “sur-

If you’d like to support this challenge race, we need to restore the two vintage war canoes for next summer. The cost will be about $2,500. Donations can be dropped off or mailed to the SS Sicamous Inland Marine Museum or Penticton Museum. Be sure to indicate they are for the war canoe restoration.

Production deserves applause

Let’s give a “Good Apple” award to the Penticton Chamber Theatre Group for presenting their production of Will Shakespeare’s As You Like It for two nights in Memorial Park in Summerland.

The Bard of the Avon excels in showing us the irrational behaviour of those in love and of those in power.

The bandshell stage in Memorial Park makes a wonderful setting for a lively comedy; situated immediately north of the silent Wharton Street tragedy.

Increased boat traffic a bad idea

The Waterfront Revitalization Select Committee recently hosted public displays of the much-needed replacement infrastructure along Okanagan Lake between the Peach and the SS Sicamous. Depicted in the display were two options, each with different con¿gurations of parking, walkways, trees, etc. These improvements are welcome as they will bene¿t pedestrians, cyclists and foot-borne beach-goers.

Unfortunately, both options clearly show beach moorage for motorboats around the SS Sicamous and the construction of motorboat docks on the east side of the nearby rock pier.

Encouraging motorized vessels in this area is a bad idea. It reduces the amount of beachfront available to the public as evidenced by the recent expansion of the day moorage area to a portion of Okanagan Beach immediately east of the Sicamous. Allowing motorboats passage to and from the beach and proposed dock will intrude on an area once frequented by swimmers.

The West Okanagan Lake Waterfront Public Consultation and Survey results on the city’s website shows public feedback received last spring. In it, a total of 67.6 per cent of respondents rated a boat beaching area as either “of little importance” or “of no importance”.

A total of 62.1 per cent rated a boat dock area as either “of little importance” or “of no importance”. This is indicated in question 24 of the document, available at: http://tinyurl.com/

veys” at 8 a.m. or in the off-season. Try getting feedback from people who actually use Lakeshore Drive and the beach frequently. I use the beach and Lakeshore Drive a minimum 100 days of the year.

There seems to be more effort to destroy tourism with ideas that hurt tourism than help it — zoning changes like the water park, small motels, RV parks, campgrounds and everything that caters to lower/middle-class income tourism. What about the downtown revitalization? It should be ¿rst. A quick ¿x is to eliminate parking meters on Martin, Ellis and joining side streets and turn Main Street and Martin Street back into twoway streets, making access and free parking readily available for shoppers. So many towns/cities have taken this approach — what are we waiting for?

Beautify Lakeshore Drive but leave the street and parking the way it is.

Proud to represent city

Thank you very much to everyone who supported me as a candidate for the British Columbia Ambassador Program this year. The British Columbia Ambassador Pageant was held on Aug. 17 and 18 and I am proud to say that I represented Penticton very well.

Unfortunately, I did not bring the title home with me, but I had a wonderful experience and I was a ¿nalist in promoting, fundraising, talent, speech, sponsorships and people’s choice.

I won ¿rst place in the fundraising and promotion awards and I am very happy to have earned scholarship money to go towards my college education.

The British Columbia Ambassador Program allows the candidates to run again a second time and I will be taking this opportunity. I enjoyed being involved in the community and volunteering at various events. It was an honour to represent Penticton. Thank you again to all my sponsors and the people of Penticton for supporting me these past few months.

A sensible solution

Finally, someone is using their grey matter. Media mogul David Black has suggested building a re¿nery in Kitimat to export processed fuels rather than oilsands crude.

Now take that one step further. Build a re¿nery north of Edmonton. This would greatly ease B.C.’s environmental concerns, create permanent Canadian jobs and give Alberta the choice of shipping to Asia via B.C. or building a pipeline east to make Canada selfsuf¿cient.

Too easy?

Service needed in Osoyoos

I’m surprised that the Red Cross has peremptorily taken away the loan cupboard, a very necessary service, from Osoyoos, without really letting the community know that help was needed, or indeed treating longtime local volunteers with everyday courtesy.

I think that given space, and surely someone has some, and handy volunteers to keep equipment in safe, usable condition, and space in the paper to let it be known just what

is needed, the community could surely go it alone, with the experience and advice of current volunteers.

I am sure a good many citizens would donate items they no longer need, and a good many businesses would ¿nd it in their hearts to donate in exchange for a little advert on the equipment to let borrowers know whose heart was in the right place.

I hope the absence will be temporary.

In the case of needed grassroots community services, we cannot always depend on of¿cial bodies to serve those needs, as has just been demonstrated.

If we care, and some are able to donate time and or money or unused equipment, if we all pitch in things are do-able.

I realize that life today has too many calls on our time, way too many distractions, and just when we think all is going well, the rug gets pulled out from under us.

Personally I have telephone time to donate, as life in our house is twenty-four seven just now.

District saves funding through aboriginal education audit Joe Fries Western News Staff

It cost a little over $3,000, but a mock audit of the Okanagan Skaha School District’s aboriginal education program probably helped preserve funding worth many times that amount.

In October, following the loss of two staff members to the Penticton Indian Band, the district hired a consultant to assess its aboriginal programs and services to make sure it was in compliance with requirements set out by the Ministry of Education to receive supplemental funding.

Last year, the amount was $1,160 for each of the district’s 661 Aboriginal students, which totalled $766,760.

Consultant Ross Spina, a retired Kamloops school administrator, wrote in his summary report that the district provides a “rich and wide array” of programs and services for its First Nations learners. However, he discovered ministry criteria were not being met and the district was at risk of losing a “signi¿cant” amount of funding if the problems weren’t corrected.

He then spent two days working with principals and aboriginal education staff to help them get on track.

Don MacIntyre, the district’s director of instruction, said most of the problems stemmed from issues with documentation.

For example, the district will now send a letter home at the beginning of each school year with each Aboriginal student to inform parents about what programs and services are available.

The letter must be signed and returned to the school, but in the past, MacIntyre said, just sending the letter home was thought to be enough.

“That’s a piece of what we cleaned up through the mock audit that really helped us when the actual audit occurred,” he said.

The actual audit happened in May and MacIntyre said preliminary results from it found four of 40 First Nations kids examined weren’t eligible for supplementary funding. One of those kids, he added, was a Mexican exchange student who self-identi¿ed as aboriginal.

Spina’s invoice, obtained through a freedom of information request, totalled $2,562.30, which included two days’ work, three meals and mileage.

The district also spent $255.53 on dinner at La Casa Ouzeria. MacIntyre said 14 administrators involved with the audit attended the Sunday night working dinner.

He said the upscale Italian eatery was an appropriate choice “to acknowledge the fact they’re giving up personal family time on a Sunday evening.”

Superintendent Wendy Hyer said such mock audits are “common practice” to protect supplementary funding that is at risk if complex ministry guidelines aren’t followed precisely.

Auditors, she said, “never come in trying to give you money; they always come in trying to take money away.”

The Ministry of Education has not yet released a copy of the audit report, which was due to be complete by the end of June.

Popping corks and sipping is taken to a whole new level at the Naramata Bench Wineries Association tailgate party.

The event, which takes place Sept. 8, features the 21 wineries on the Bench, live music, dancing and a Salmon Showdown with some of the Okanagan’s best chefs who will square off for a panel of celebrity judges.

“It is meant to be a party, a fall celebration of wine making on the Bench,” said Tina Baird, of the Naramata Bench Wineries Association. “The Naramata Bench, I think, has become well known for being accessible, warm, open and inviting.

We really see the value of all the people behind the wine really being able to connect with the consumers. Also, this group of wineries really likes to have fun.”

It is why the tagline for the association is a story in every bottle, a perk Baird says visitors get when they visit wineries ¿rst-hand and listen to the

stories of the winery, winemakers and about the region.

“Selling wine is about not just only having good wine, but also about the stories of the people who are making the wine,” said Baird.

Which there will be plenty of time to learn about those stories at the tailgate party, or, if attendees purchase a supergate ticket to the after-party.

This is a brand new event this year that gives the opportunity to 100 ticket-holders to stay after the party and meet the chefs and have more one-on-one time with the winemakers and winery owners. The after party will

They will square off trying to make the best pairing of salmon and Naramata Bench wine as judged by TV news personalities, editors and writers from various newspapers and magazines and tailgate revellers. The salmon dinner will be rounded out with signature ¿xings from The Bench Artisan Food market. Master of Ceremonies for the tailgate party will be Terry David Mulligan, creator and host of Tasting Room Radio.

Tickets to the main event which runs from 5:30 to 8 p.m., are $89. For supergate tickets, which include access to the main event, they are $155 and the after-party will run until 10 p.m.

also include an oyster bar, more food, exclusive wine tastings and live music. Music for both events is being provided by Shane Philip, who is touted as a one-man band. Philip juggles instruments, borrowing from folk, reggae, blues and world music.

Baird said all the winery owners and wine makers are excited to share their experiences.

“There are now 21 wineries and some are very large to very small. They are all distinctive in their own way, which I think is the beauty of the Naramata Bench. What they all have in common is a sense of place and they are all very proud of the Naramata Bench and proud of the wines they are producing off the Bench,” said Baird.

“The association really is all about Naramata, so having our event in the heart of Naramata, this time at Manitou beach, is part of the whole thing of being very much about this sense of place.”

Address changes delay emergency response Steve Waldner Western News Staff

Of¿cials are asking Oliver area residents to be aware of their new civic addresses, as recent changes to both the urban and rural street names have led to confusion and potentially serious delays in emergency services.

Oliver’s former civic addressing system was one that received constant complaints, with large street and avenue numbers, separate streets across town having the same name, and many streets actually having dual names.

With the announcement that Canada Post would be eliminating all rural routes in the area, Regional District of the OkanaganSimilkameen Area C Director Allan Patton said the time was right to change the civic ad-

dresses as well.

“People are getting used to it, and most of the people like it,” said Patton. “A lot of them don’t, but they’re getting used to it, and once they get used to this situation they’re going to ¿nd it’s much better than the original. “ However, the community is experiencing dif¿culties in the transition, most notably in its emergency services.

“We were experiencing some delays to calls because people were having a hard time coming up with an address,” said Joy Peterson, B.C. Ambulance Service’s local unit lead for Oliver. “Typically they were providing their old number with their new street rather than all new. When they’re a little bit panicked they tend to refer back to old numbers.

“It’s always helpful when we can have a prompt emergency response without a delay,”

she added. “It depends on the nature of the problem, but if it’s a life-threatening emergency, every minute — every second — counts.”

To this end, Peterson and other paramedics have been dropping off fridge magnets with people’s addresses listed on it, giving them a reference for the correct address.

“The goal is we’d like every fridge in Oliver to have a magnet on it, so whether it’s a resident or a visitor, if they need to call 911 they can look at the fridge, see the magnet and call,” said Peterson.

Less serious than delayed emergency services, the Oliver Canada Post of¿ce is also experiencing some issues, as people are changing their mailing addresses to the new numbers before Canada Post staff have implemented the changes, said Darren Smith, the Oliver Canada Post of¿ce’s superintendent.

Rural residents are asked to register their new addresses with their old addresses to help make the transition easier. These residents can do so at the Oliver Canada Post of¿ce, or by ¿lling out the forms the post of¿ce has sent out.

The switch to the new mailing addresses will not be able to happen until a signi¿cant portion of residents provide their new and old addresses to the post of¿ce. Due to a poor return rate of the forms the post of¿ce mailed out requesting this information, it’s projected the switch won’t happen until November.

In regards to the emergency situation, both Patton and Peterson urged residents to take down their old house numbers and put up their new ones, as the confusion around house numbers could create a potentially fatal delay.

“I think there is something magical about saying you are an Ironman,” said Madill, who was in the lineup for the Challenge registration with friends but said he would make his ¿nal decision when he got to the front of the line. “I was upset at city council for letting it go, but hopefully it will be a positive change.”

Others had mixed emotions about seeing the event switch hands after having such an impact over 30 years as an Ironman Canada branded race. Martin Wennen of Vancouver said he plans on signing up for both the Challenge Penticton and the yet-to-be-determined location of Ironman Canada 2013 race, which was accepting online registrations.

“I love Penticton and it was the big draw for me.

I looked at Coeur d’Alene Ironman for signing up but I just love Penticton,” said Daphne Brown, who drove down from Salmon Arm on Monday to register LONG ENGLISH for Challenge Penticton. “I want to check this off my bucket list ... at ¿rst I was kind of disappointed because I can’t say I am an Ironman, but I don’t really care. It is just the fact that I am doing the event.”

Professional triathlete Christian Brader, who is from Germany, home of the successful Challenge Roth, said he hasn’t entered into a Challenge Family race.

“It’s not the last race here. It’s just another label. I don’t think it’s less attractive than before. They do a good job. I’m sure it will be a good race. I would also come back it if is not an Ironman,” said Brader.

The feeling seemed mutual between many of the professionals asked if they would return to Penticton for the Challenge Family race.

“I would always race in Penticton. I don’t care what the name of the race would be. If the community is behind it and Steve King and all these organizers are here, I would always come here for this race,” said professional female winner Gillian Clayton.

Ironman leaves enduring images Mark Brett photos

FLANKED BY ESCORTS, Penticton’s Janelle Morrison closes in on the finish line to clinch third place in the women’s pro division of Sunday’s Subaru Ironman Canada Race. It was the 30th and final Ironman event for the city and Morrison’s third race since a near-fatal accident.

WOMEN’S PRO Trish Deim of Meridian, Idaho (above) gets a soaking from volunteers as she begins her run. Two athletes (right) share a quiet moment before the start of the amateur swim portion of the race. Ashley Holden of West Vancouver (below) retrieves her bicycle from a sea of cycles in the transition area.

MEN’S PRO DIVISION athletes are arm-in-arm at the end of the swim (above). Transition volunteers (right) work to remove wet suits as the athletes prepare to head out on the bicycle route. Penticton’s David Matheson (below) greets a fellow athlete as she starts the run and he heads down the final stretch to the finish.

DAVID PETER of Dundas, Ont. grimaces in pain on the ground after his swim. He was sixth overall in the men’s 55-59 division.

news for Summerland,” she said. “This is a real boost. It will help to revitalize our downtown.”

Before construction can begin, the developers will need a development permit and a building permit. The development permit will go to the municipality’s design committee and then to council.

Randy Gibson, one of the developers, said the target for ground breaking is February 2013.

The completion of the ¿rst building is expected for early 2014.

Joe Mahovlich, another of the developers, said the project’s value will be between $90 and $120 million.

Perrino said the development will help the downtown area.

“This whole project is in the core,” she said.

“It’s where we want to grow.”

The developers have been working on this project for the past 18 months.

In spring, they presented conceptual drawings of the project at a public open house.

The ¿rst ¿ve-storey building in the plan will have an area of more than 6,000 square metres. It will include commercial and professional spaces and residential units.

Additional buildings are also planned. The development will also house the Summerland branch of the Okanagan Regional Library and the Summerland Museum.

At present, both are in buildings much too small to meet their present needs.

The library, with an area of 316 square metres, is 48 per cent of the size needed to adequately serve Summerland’s present population, according to the Okanagan Regional Library.

The building was opened in 1981. Since 2003, the Okanagan Regional Library board has been working to ¿nd a larger library location to house the Summerland branch.

The museum, with an area of 372 square metres, is also facing problems because of space limitations. The building has been in place since 1983.

While the project has been billed as a Wharton Street development, Gibson said the focal point will be on Kelly Avenue, across from Memorial Park.

For several years, the municipality has been looking to develop the area.

Earlier, another developer had expressed interest in the Wharton Street project, but an agreement was not signed and the plan expired in January 2011.

The property was then re-evaluated on March 28, 2011.

Municipal planner Ian McIntosh said the project will include a $2.8 million cultural centre, a $2.1 million museum and $1.037 million worth of servicing in the area.

Western News Staff

When Matthew Russell becomes a father, he plans to take his kids to Penticton and show them the Àower garden that lists all the Subaru Canada Ironman winners.

When they see their father’s name, they will see that he crossed the ¿nish line on Lakeshore Drive in 8:48:30.

After grabbing the ribbon as he crossed the line and raising it above his head the Scottsdale, Ariz. resident went directly to his girlfriend Gillian Foreman and gave her a thankful hug and kiss. It was a sweet victory for him, his ¿rst as a pro.

“I feel blessed and thankful,” said Russell.

“I’m ecstatic. Speechless.”

Russell said he didn’t know what could happen on Sunday, adding that a person could be feeling great until mile 23, but he was able to hang on and ¿nish strong.

Following Russell was Penticton’s Olly Piggin at 8:54:17 and Germany’s Christian Brader at 8:58:59.

Canadian Gillian Clayton, who ¿nished in 9:46:07, started to get that winning feeling after another male pro she was near who checked and didn’t see another female in sight.

“Unless she has Usain Bolt qualities, I was pretty sure I was going to make it to the line ¿rst,” joked Clayton, adding that she said to herself if she doesn’t fall on her face she would likely be OK. “When I turned onto Lakeshore Drive, I just visualized all the videos I’ve ever seen of all these unbelievable champions winning and I thought you know this is going to be me,” she said.

Canadian Karen Thibodeau placed second at 9:50:52 and in third is Penticton’s Janelle Morrison at 9:53:20, who made a comeback after a car accident nearly killed her in 2010. Nine pro females completed

SUBARU IRONMAN CANADA pro champion Matt Russell hoists the finish banner over his head following his victory Sunday. The Arizona athlete finished the course in 8:48:30. Below, Gillian Clayton of Vancouver prepares to do the Blazeman-Roll across the finish line after winning the women’s pro division of Ironman Canada. The roll is a tribute to an athlete who suffered from ALS. Clayton won the women’s division in a time of 9:46:07.

960 Railway St., Penticton Ph: 250-492-3576

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Penticton’s Tyler Berthelsen placed 802nd overall during the 30th Subaru Ironman Canada triathlon on Sunday.

He clocked in at 12:13:09, good for 19 among 39 competitors in his age category of 18 to 24.

The Pen High Laker grad completed the swim in 1:06:47, the bike in 6:18:56 and the run in 4:39:38.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK the race.

While Clayton was the top female pro ¿nisher, Denver’s Kendra Lee, an age group (30 to 34) winner, enjoyed the fastest women’s time of 9:44:58. She placed 39th overall after completing the swim in 1:02:08, the bike in 5:16:48 and the run in 3:20:47.

Russell said the toughest part of the course was the mental aspect.

“When you’re playing catch up the whole time, it’s really tough,” said Russell, a former occupational therapist since turning pro two

years ago. “You just have to mentally stay in there.”

Clayton, a physiotherapist, took advantage of the fact that Meredith Kessler, Samantha McGlone, Marilyn McDonald and Rachel Kiers didn’t show up.

“I think it’s really nice actually for professionals that are at my level just starting out,” said Clayton about the four not competing. “(Stephanie) Ossenbrink is another ¿rst year pro as well. It’s really nice for us to be able to be competitive and re-

ally be in it and not be overshadowed by who is going to get second.

“I think it would be fair to say that this is not the strongest ¿eld that this race has had,” continued Clayton.

Reaching the ¿nish line ¿rst for Penticton and earning his best result was Piggin.

Heading into the run, his legs were feeling pretty ripe.

“I knew it would be all about the last 15 kilometres,” said Piggin, who was very satis¿ed with his effort. “I was holding on there which I did. It was good to have the support of the

town and everyone out on the course. It really brought me home and helped me stay focused for sure.”

Also completing the race was 82-yearold Sister Madonna Buder, clocking in at 16:32:00. The ¿nal ¿nisher was Kelli Telling of San Clemente, Calif., who crossed the ¿nish line in 16:59:55.

Telling had everyone, including announcer Steve King, cheering her on and pulling for her to ¿nish. It was a memorable conclusion to the ¿nal Subaru Ironman Canada in Penticton.

son said the three-day training camp went well.

“I thought the games got better,” said Harbinson. “We saw good goaltending and in the end I thought it was a good way of evaluating the players and we were able to get down to a manageable number.”

The only surprise during camp, Harbinson joked, is that assistant coach Steve Cawley “has the bad hands that he had last year.”

With BCHL teams now allowed to keep 22 players, the Vees have a few extra bodies as they prepare for their first exhibition game Thursday evening against the West Kelowna Warriors. Harbinson said they will likely make decisions throughout the week as they work towards the final cuts. Harbinson was pleased with what he has seen from last year’s affiliate players Dexter Dancs, Nic Renyard, Alex Jewell

LOU NANNE, a Minnesota Wild draft pick, is starting to feel comfortable in Penticton on and off the ice. Nanne has been getting a chance to build chemistry with Sam Mellor and Wade Murphy.

and Jordan McCallum.

He said they have a comfort zone from the experience they gained last season.

“They know what I’m about and playing for the Vees is all about,” said Harbinson. “It gives them a little edge. We’re going to expect a lot out of them.”

Recruits are performing as expected and arrived at camp fit.

One is Lou Nanne, grandson of former Minnesota North Stars general manager Louis Nanne.

The 18-year-old Edina Hornet grad liked how his camp went. He noticed the difference in speed and game flow compared to high school hockey.

“One thing I have found is all these kids are able to catch passes really well,” said Nanne.

“Especially on their back hands, which was a big struggle back in Minnesota.

Catching passes and taking it off people’s sticks.”

Not only did Nanne stand out from wearing his old Hornets equipment, but he scored a few goals, including an overtime winner for Team Blue. Nanne said scoring has given him confidence.

“Back in high

school I didn’t have the greatest time getting points,” said Nanne, who was playing with Sam Mellor and Wade Murphy during camp and the first practice.

“It wasn’t easy for me for some reason but I guess that is what I’m going to look for out here. The ability to get points and capitalize on my opportunities.”

Nanne has enjoyed playing with Mellor and Murphy, which could potentially form the ‘MNM’ line.

“They are both great players,” said Nanne, a 2012 Minnesota Wild draft pick. “I guess I was fortunate enough to be put with them right away. Hopefully I proved myself that I am able to stay there.”

While Nanne had developed a comfort

level on the ice, it’s also happening away from it.

Upon arriving in Penticton, the first thing Nanne did was find a church he could attend, choosing Vineyard and Victory Church.

“Those are two places where I have found that I’m starting to like,” said Nanne, who posted on Twitter one day he “woke up to an outdoor Christian concert across the street. Yup, I love this place.”

Nanne does often post messages on Twitter relating to God, including this: “People make mistakes, but they’re all washed away by God’s grace,” Nanne wrote.

“Without forgiveness, there would be no heaven.”

He had struggles with being a hockey player and devoted to God. Nanne is also no longer ashamed about his beliefs.

Asked about what his teammates personalities are like, Nanne said he thought he would be the odd man out. That hasn’t been the case.

“I’ve been taken into their arms pretty well,” he said. “There’s different groups of people here but we all get along.”

First female in Ironman reflects

Choose the Club with a Record of Excellence!

Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Rewind to 1983 when the ¿rst ultradistance triathlon was held in Penticton.

There were no wetsuits, gels to eat or Gatorade, at least not for Dyane Lynch. She was the lone female in the event that year and Gatorade wasn’t for her.

“Most of my nourishment during the race was bananas,” said Lynch, 69, who was back in Penticton for the 30th and ¿nal Subaru Ironman Canada race. “ I hated bananas for years afterward.”

After being one of 23 athletes that ¿rst year, Lynch has witnessed the event grow.

This year 2,591 athletes took part. She has also noticed a sophistication of the sport, which includes the use of electronics.

“It used to be just paper and tear off your number and you come in,” said Lynch, who has an Ironman logo tattoo on her left ankle with 1983 written below. “Now you have chips.”

“What hasn’t changed is the camaraderie and community spirit,” continued Lynch, who is an ESL teacher and yoga instructor. “Everyone turns out in Penticton.”

Lynch, who was honoured by the organizers of the race as part of their 30th celebration, has noticed more people doing triathlons. She said more people are inspired.

“The community spirit and Steve King and people like Sister Madonna Buder and other wonderful people we have seen through the years that inspired us,” she said.

“The name of the race is important to some of us. I feel we need

DYANE LYNCH was the first and only female to compete in the debut of Subaru Ironman Canada in 1983. She only competed in it once and was back as she was honoured by the organizers during the weekend.

Let’s not forget that this is the place where it started. It’s given me personally, everything.

— Dyane Lynch

to watch carefully but don’t be drawn into a name.”

With Subaru Ironman Canada having its last hurrah, Challenge Penticton enters the mix in 2013. When news broke, Lynch was shocked initially.

“After thinking about it and hearing more about the Challenge, it seems to me to be very successful for the community spirit,” she said. “Let’s not forget that this is the place where it started. It’s given me personally, everything.”

“Penticton volunteers are very special,” she continued. “It’s the small town community participation of Penticton. It’s like a jewel tucked between the hills to nourish and cherish whatever you have to give. It’s a very unique experience.”

As the swimmers stood in the water, Lynch remembers it wasn’t as crazy when

she competed.

“We had the room (to be in the water),” said Lynch, who was 40 at the time. “Standing there this Sunday morning, I’m awestruck by how many people there are, and they don’t have the same room. It’s a very humbling experience. You are very vulnerable in the water.”

Coming to the race she felt awkward because she said she was not as good as the boys.

She was just using it as training for Hawaii.

“Felt awkward being the only women,” said Lynch, whose program site is http://yogalynchpin.com. “I wasn’t selfconscious because I had a job to do.”
