CORONER LOOKS INTO SENIORS CARE HOME
NEWS PENTICTON WESTERN
A15 page
A funeral will be held Saturday to remember Alfredo Bonaldi, whose death last week triggered another investigation into his care at Summerland Seniors Village. The 91-year-old passed away 12 days after he was rushed to hospital in Penticton suffering the effects of a suspected case of food poisoning, which left him near death after spending three days alone and uncared for in his room. Bonaldi was a resident on the assisted-living side of Summerland Seniors Village where he received twicedaily meals and housekeeping service. His absence at meal times should have prompted a well-being check by staff, but didn’t. After being discovered Nov. 25 by son-in-law Gil Inglis, Bonaldi was treated in hospital for a staph infection, salmonella poisoning and kidney failure, and showed some signs of improvement before he died on Dec. 7. Shortly afterwards, the hospital referred the case to the B.C. Coroners Service, which probes all unnatural, unexpected or unexplained deaths in the province. “The investigation is still in its preliminary stages, and it is too early to comment on reports of potential problems arising from Mr. Bonaldi’s stay at the Summerland care home,” B.C. Coroners Service spokesperson Barbara McLintock said in a press release. She also noted that the investigation will result in either a publicly available report or an inquest. “In either case, the mandate of the Coroners Service is not to find fault or lay blame, but it may make recommendations to try to prevent future deaths in similar circumstances.” Both the Ministry of Health and Interior Health, which has placed a consultant at the site to ensure patient safety, had already begun investigations into Bonaldi’s care at Summerland Seniors Village prior to his death and will carry on with those probes. Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid said in an interview Tuesday she remains “very concerned” about Bonaldi’s case and said his passing will make the investigation more difficult. Like the coroner, the ministry is trying to determine
what went wrong and if, and how, similar incidents can be avoided in the future, and the eventual findings may very well have provincial implications, MacDiarmid added. Bonaldi’s wife was also a patient at the care home and died in August two days afAlfredo Bonaldi ter she had surgery to repair a broken leg that Inglis said resulted when she was dropped by staff who failed to report the injury for a week. Retirement Concepts, which operates the facility, apologized to the family in a letter dated Dec. 7 and signed by president Azim Jamal and vice-president Tony Baena. “We sincerely apologize to you and your family for all you have gone through over the past several weeks and months as a result of what happened to your parents at our facility,” the executives said in the letter. It goes on to note that thanks to information brought forward by the family, “we now know that errors were made by our staff in reporting the injury to your mother.” “In your father’s case, there was an obvious breakdown in communication that resulted in his absence from meals going unreported for several days before he was found in his room,” the letter continued. “Unfortunately, even the best policies and procedures cannot eliminate human error. Nevertheless, we will continue to strive to improve our systems and staff training so we can reduce human error to an absolute minimum.” Inglis said the family appreciated the company’s apology, but Retirement Concepts brass “have been trying to cover themselves.” He said Bonaldi’s three daughters “feel they’ve been let down” by the system that regulates care homes, and will press for whatever legislative changes may be required to prevent other families from losing their loved ones under similar circumstances. “It’s not over yet,” Inglis said. Bonaldi’s funeral is set for Saturday at 11 a.m. at Holy Child Catholic Church in Summerland and is open to the public.

Church sets table for Christmas feast Kristi Patton Western News Staff
It is one evening of time and some planning, but for those less fortunate in the community a free community Christmas dinner means so much. Tonight Victory Church opens their doors to reach out to those who may not otherwise have an opportunity to experience the spirit of Christmas. “Giving back is the bonus,” said Pastor Trevor Hoffman. “We like to do whatever we can because we love this city. It really isn’t much to us because it is just one dinner, just one evening of volunteer work and some planning. For those that come for the dinner it can mean so much. It is a really good time and nice to sit down to dinner.” Prior to the inaugural community Christmas dinner, Victory Church hosted a Christmas banquet with a speaker and charged people money to attend. “Last year we thought to heck with that, let’s just buy a bunch of turkeys and feed everyone that comes,” said Hoffman. This year ham and all the trimmings of a Christmas dinner are be-

ing offered on the menu for free to whoever wants to come. “We are downtown where a lot
of people are and right near the Soup Kitchen, who do all the lunches and that is huge, so we thought
we would do a dinner,” said Hoffman. Catering staff from Charles
Manor, a retirement centre in close proximity to the church, is volunteering their time and commercial kitchen to prepare all the meat. Besides the dinner, there will be prize draws from Penticton businesses that have donated to the cause including Wal-Mart, Superstore and Little Caesars. Members of the church have also been preparing goodie bags with homemade baked goods to be handed out to those in attendance. Donated clothing the church has been collecting will be available for those who need it to take with them. Hoffman said he expects to feed even more people than they did last year and hopes to continue with a weekly dinner for those less fortunate. “We have already been planning to do a weekly dinner and a movie thing for anyone that would like to come. It probably won’t be as lavish as this, but it will be fun,” he said. Victory Church is holding the free Christmas community dinner on Wednesday at their location at 352 Winnipeg St. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. and seating will be available on a first come, first served basis.
South Okanagan awaits word on major projects Joe Fries Western News Staff
Two major projects in the South Okanagan remain in limbo pending funding decisions from the provincial government, and the area’s men in Victoria have asked their local counterparts for continued patience. But Liberal MLAs Bill Barisoff and John Slater offered little in the way of new information on a proposed new jail in Oliver and hospital expansion in Penticton during their appearance last week at a board meeting of the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen. RDOS directors were told the proposed $300-million expansion of Penticton Regional Hospital is still awaiting a decision from the Treasury Board, but Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid, who took over the portfolio in September, is scheduled to tour the
facility today. “I think it’s an indication that she knows the priority of it, she knows our priorities of it. I think we’ve got lots of things happening in the South Okanagan that lend itself to the need,” said Barisoff, the MLA for Penticton. Barisoff added that he and Slater have worked hard to ensure the two previous health ministers also knew the importance of PRH expansion. But despite the local duo’s efforts, and the project’s spot atop Interior Health’s wish list, the last round of regional hospital funding went to Kamloops in July. “Kamloops was a bit of a surprise to a lot of the MLAs in the Okanagan, to be honest with you,” said Slater, who represents Boundary-Similkameen. Summerland Mayor Janice Perrino, who chairs the Okanagan-Similkameen Regional Hospital District, told the MLAs that the area is due for some capital dollars.
According to figures she compiled, over the past decade, the North Okanagan has received capital funding for health care totalling about $92 per person, the Central Okanagan has received $108 and the South Okanagan $22. Vernon and Kelowna received significant hospital upgrades, she noted, as should Penticton. “It’s about fairness,” said Perrino, who has already lined up $140 million locally for PRH expansion and is seeking the additional $160 million from Victoria. Meanwhile, Osoyoos Mayor Stu Wells wanted to know how flagging provincial finances might affect the funding decision needed to begin work on the Okanagan Regional Correctional Centre, which is supposed to open just north of Oliver in 2016. “When we still have these shortfalls coming in and the finance minister saying it’s going to get tough, I guess my question is:
Where does that leave the correction facility?” Wells asked. Slater said neither he nor Barisoff sits on Treasury Board so they’re “not privy to the weights and balances” that affect such decisions. But he assured that the jail, which the province announced in February 2012 would be sited on Osoyoos Indian Band property, is still on the government’s radar. “It’s still there. It’s a priority for the province. They need the facility, too…. It’s not just a gift to the South Okanagan. It’s a facility that’s needed in the province. So they’re still looking at it and it’s still way up there on the priority list,” Slater said. A briefing note prepared for the Treasury Board in November 2011 and obtained by the Western News pegged the total capital cost of the new 360-cell jail at $273.5 million and estimated its annual operating cost at $60 million.

His possible jump to provincial politics didn’t scare off a majority of local politicians who returned Dan Ashton to his position at the helm of the Regional District of OkanaganSimilkameen. Penticton’s mayor fended off a challenge from Oliver Mayor Ron Hovanes to keep his place as chair of the elected board of the RDOS. Ashton has been at the post since 2001, although his future in local government is uncertain since he’ll be running as a Liberal candidate in next spring’s provincial election. “It will be a busy year, but you have my word there will be no interference with my performance as chair of this organization. I will be consistent with how I perform my duties, continue with my regional perspective (and) be available,” Ashton said in a short speech to directors before their vote.
Western News Staff
Elected officials narrowly voted last week to stand by a controversial decision on regional land-use policy. Directors of the Regional District of OkanaganSimilkameen on Nov. 21 voted 9-4 to give early approval to a 12-lot housing development on Vaseux Lake that is in apparent conflict with a regional growth strategy. But board chair Dan Ashton brought the matter back for reconsideration at last Thursday’s meeting at the request of one of the directors. “There was an indication that there may have been a mixing of some information regarding that decision

and I want to make sure it’s clean,” Ashton explained. Allan Patton, the director for rural Oliver, said he asked for the reconsideration because he was unsure if each of his colleagues had read the growth strategy. His wish was not granted, however, as the board voted 7-6 against the reconsideration. Those on the losing side with Patton were Directors Ron Hovanes, Tom Siddon, Michael Brydon, Garry Litke and Stu Wells. Only Okanagan directors voted because their counterparts in the Similkameen opted out of the strategy. The proposed development on Vaseux Lake still has to go through the normal regulatory approval process, which should include public hearings.

The vote count was not released, but Hovanes confirmed afterwards that he was “very serious” about unseating Ashton. “I wouldn’t have thought of running at all unless I gave it some deep consideration,” he said. Oliver’s mayor explained that continuity of leadership is important and if voters do send Ashton to Victoria it will trigger another vote at the RDOS board table in May. “There was absolutely no disrespect to Chair Ashton,” he added. “I even phoned him to let him know my name was going to be put forward.” Incumbent Mark Pendergraft, the director for rural Osoyoos, won the election for vice-chair. He bested Naramata director Karla Kozakevich. Meanwhile, Janice Perrino won back her job as chair of the Okanagan-Similkameen Regional Hospital District, while Litke was re-elected as vice-chair.

Ashton said that during his 11year tenure he has missed just two RDOS board meetings: one when he was in hospital and the other when he was representing the regional district at a meeting elsewhere. “In both cases, the vice-chair has always made it a seamless transition and I’m sure the same will take place in the two meetings I’ll be missing in the early spring” during the provincial election campaign, he said. Ashton intends to take leaves of absence from both his city and RDOS duties during the election, and promised to stay focused on local issues until then. “I have a job to do as the mayor of Penticton and the regional district,” he said afterwards. Asked how he could be tough with a provincial government of which he might soon be a member, Ashton said his allegiance is here right now because “I’m not part of that government at this time.”

Message not getting through to drivers
T
he RCMP CounterAttack road check program in December is a Christmas holiday tradition. But far too many residents of the South Okanagan and Southern Interior still haven’t got the message. B.C.’s CounterAttack program is in its 35th year with the December campaign underway. The province’s tougher roadside penalties on drinking and driving are responsible for a drop in alcohol-related crashes and are estimated to have saved 104 lives since September 2010. Yet, some drivers still operate a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs, believing nothing can happen to them or that they won’t get caught. But drinking and driving carries consequences. Whether it’s a small fender-bender, an arrest and driving suspension or a serious crash that claims your life or that of an innocent person — it’s only a matter of time before someone pays the price. There was a time when impaired driving was considered acceptable behaviour. Thankfully, we’ve come a long way from that. The odds are getting better that if you drink and drive, you will get caught. But there are still too many risking their lives and those of others on B.C. roads. Statistics released by ICBC show that, between 2007 and 2011, there were an average of 36 impaired-related crashes in the Southern Interior. That’s the most of B.C.’s four regions (32PENTICTON in Lower WESTERN Mainland, 25 in North Central and 21 on Vancouver Island). Police will again be out in force this Christmas season, again driving home the message that we all need to take to heart: Don’t drink and drive. Plan ahead, use alternate transportation or use a designated driver. Let’s all have a safe Christmas season.

Clean LNG can still be done On Friday, as the federal government was giving the green light to a Malaysian investment of billions more into northern B.C.’s liquefied natural gas megaproject, Coastal First Nations chiefs held their quarterly board meeting in Vancouver. These are now the most powerful aboriginal leaders in North America, bankrolled by U.S. environmental groups and their wealthy charity foundation backers as guardians of the Great Bear Rainforest. A major topic was the Haisla Nation, the Kitimat partner that abruptly quit its voluntary association with the Haida, Gitga’at and other communities over its plans to develop LNG exports. This discord comes at a bad time. Premier Christy Clark has bet heavily on LNG, not just for her government’s future, but the industrial and economic direction of the province for decades to come. Initial press reports were misleading. One had it that Haisla Chief Councillor Ellis Ross, the B.C. government’s key ally on LNG, was “buddying up” with the Harper government on the Enbridge oil pipeline proposed
Tom Fletcher
B.C. Views to go to Kitimat, in the heart of Coastal First Nations territory. Not so. Both Ross and Coastal First Nations executive director Art Sterritt confirmed to me that they remain solidly against the Enbridge proposal. The disagreement is over how to power the processing of LNG, which the Haisla are pioneering with provincial assistance. Sterritt said the Haisla and the rest of the group were in agreement until a few weeks ago. The plan was to follow Clark’s solemn vow to make B.C. LNG the “greenest” in the world. All parties acknowledge that some of B.C.’s shale gas will
have to be burned to process and ship LNG to Asia. The initial idea was that one or two natural gas-fired power plants would be built, eventually backing up wind, small hydro and other renewable supplies. BC Hydro has 600 megawatts available from its dams, which would require new transmission capacity up to Kitimat to help run the first two LNG plants proposed in partnership with the Haisla. Then the play got bigger. The B.C. government transferred Crown land on Douglas Channel to the Haisla for an LNG project planned by Shell, PetroChina and Korea Gas. And Sterritt said he started getting signals from Victoria that the industry doesn’t want to buy power from outside producers to drive LNG cooling and compression. Instead they wanted to power it directly with gas, using equipment called “mechanical drives” rather than electrical drives. In a letter to Haisla members explaining why he quit the Coastal First Nations, Ross said he was insulted by Sterritt’s comments that the Haisla were choosing “the dirtiest way possible” to ship LNG. Ross noted
that emissions would be about the same if gas is burned in the LNG plant or in a power plant nearby. That’s true, but Sterritt points out a critical difference. If LNG producers are allowed to use single-purpose mechanical drives, no renewable energy can ever be added. And as more LNG producers rush into B.C., reserves that would have lasted 75 to 100 years could be depleted in 30. And when the gas is gone? “These big, hulking plants that are going to be in Kitimat are just going to be sitting there, rotting,” Sterritt said. “It happens all over the world.” B.C.’s clean energy plan envisions extending the BC Hydro grid, developing run-of-river and wind farms such as the big offshore proposal off Haida Gwaii, and ultimately a future beyond oil and gas. Now, in their rush to develop LNG, Clark and Energy Minister Rich Coleman seem poised to abandon that strategy.

Threat from Iran has been overblown
No wasted ink
In the Nov. 30 Western, I read with interest and amusement, comments made by Dave Stigant about how unfair my comparative analogies were. It seems that he may have missed my point. However, I stand by what I wrote and the way things were presented. The political game, irrespective of the arena, be it governmental or business bureaucracy, is one that very often is convoluted, one-sided, defaming and a plethora of other descriptive adjectives before any resolution is reached. One might think that he, having been a part of that, should realize this. I remain on point, that irrespective of any comparisons I made concerning the impasse of the government and BCTF and that of hockey’s major domos and the players is referring to the fact that the actions or lack of action on either side’s part has a direct impact on society in general. Evidently, that point was missed for some reason or other. I particularly enjoyed and was amused by the reference to “wasted ink.” Opinions are like noses, if you will, we all have one. How we give our opinions is up to us just as aromas that we like, we savour, while those that we don’t, we avoid or move away from. In that light, I proffer the following: I read with interest the Western News, the lines by Dave Stigant going on about wasted ink. I thought about his rant and I began to muse, about his reasons for his rantings and raising such a stink.
nocent unarmed Iranian civilians will die. Since Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the U.S. has worn the moral responsibility for using nuclear weapons on civilians. Does Israel want to join the club? “Israeli people have said since the end of the Second World War there will never be another holocaust.” Definition of the word “holocaust”: “n. complete or total destruction by, or as by, fire.” There were a number of holocausts committed in the Second World War. Two of them (among others) were the nuclear holocausts of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Would the Jewish community of Israel, who are the survivors — and descendants of survivors — of the Holocaust (or Shoah) of the Second World War, want their government to commit another (nuclear) holocaust against fellow Jews — the famous ancient Persian Jewish community of Iran — along with Iranian civilians? Those Christians who know their Bible should be familiar with the Persian Jews from the Book of Esther: The Persian Jewish community goes back to Cyrus the Great — over 500 years before the birth of Christ. “If Syria attacks Israel on the Golan Heights, Iran, being an ally, will support Syria... If Syria uses chemical weapons or the Iranians use nuclear weapons...” Let’s get some facts straight: Fact #1: The Israeli government wants war with Iran. Fact #2: Syria is an ally of Iran. Fact
Since reading Dave’s diatribe on what’s important to the press, I find that all his ramblings he deems to be so essential. That what I say and what I write has caused him some distress, he makes mountains out of molehills and they seem so inconsequential. Just like him, I’ve been in the trenches and realize what’s at stake. I’ve watched so many changes and some come and others go. Sometimes it was so difficult to know which road to take, when wrong was right and right was wrong how could anyone really know. In this country we call Canada we can speak and write for free, the privileges to which I refer are bastions of this land. They were hard fought for by our forbearers to allow democracy. Because of this we’ve come to know that we can take a stand. In reflecting on the things I wrote about the teacher/hockey thing. Both sides are wearing armour while each looks for a chink. Meanwhile the balance of society is dangled on a string. And Dave, I’ll keep on writing as you aren’t paying for my ink. Ron Barillaro Penticton
Keys lost
Last Tuesday morning my wife Irene was at Shades On Main for breakfast, locked the car with the remote and somehow dropped the whole set of keys, some of which are irreplaceable. When she wanted to drive home they were nowhere to be found. Anyone who
#3: If Israel goes to war with Iran, Israel would have to contend with Iran’s sole ally, Syria. How could Israel effectively neutralize Syria? Have the Mossad (along with the Pentagon-CIA and other intelligence agencies) create instability through illegal regime change (like they did in Libya) and civil war. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has his hands too full right now just trying to stay alive and in power to even think about offering assistance should Israel attack Iran, much less contemplate an invasion of Israel. With all of Israel’s threats to Iran, would Iran launch a preemptive nuclear strike? Iran does not have nuclear weapons. Even if it did, a pre-emptive strike would not eliminate Israel’s ability to respond. Israel has nuclear armed submarines from which they could launch counterstrikes. Although Iraq and Iran are signatories to the 1925 Geneva Protocol on chemical and bacteriological warfare, Iraq used chemical weapons against Iran during the Iran-Iraq War (198088.) Iran did not respond in kind. Iran did not use chemical or biological weapons even though they had them. Would Iran use such weapons against Israel? If history is anything to go by, not likely.

Scouts on parade
The 2nd Penticton Scout group participated in the 2012 Santa Claus Parade with their Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Venturers. Our float was designed and set up by the Scouts, Venturers and Leaders.

Ernie Slump disagrees with Alex Atamanenko’s appraisal that after the Nov. 6 U.S. election, the world became a much safer place. I’m sorry, but I’m unable to follow the author’s contorted and contradictory pretzel logic. “Of all President Barack Obama’s mistakes, his worst during his first term was to throw Israel under the bus.” How is saving Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from launching a criminal (possibly nuclear) war of aggression against the people of Iran “throwing Israel under the bus”? “Obama made very clear how much he disrespects Israel...” Actually, it was current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey who showed ‘disrespect’ first by saying no to Israel over U.S. participation in an attack on Iran. This was back on Aug. 30, 2012. “Had Obama maintained the historically strong U.S.-Israeli alliance, meaning the Americans would support Israel in an air strike against Iran, nuclear weapons would not necessarily be used.” There is absolutely no guarantee of this. Consensus among credible military and intelligence analysts is that Israel will certainly not be able to destroy all of Iran’s nuclear facilities. Even with U.S. assistance, all of Iran’s facilities will still not be destroyed. Nuclear weapons are WMDs as they cannot be contained to the battlefield. If nuclear weapons are used, in-

A woman has been charged with the robbery of a Penticton fast food restaurant. RCMP responded to a robbery at the Subway restaurant on Martin Street on Dec. 6 at approximately 7 a.m. Sgt. Rick Dellebuur said investigation revealed that a middle-aged female wearing a mask entered the Subway with a knife and demanded money. The woman then departed with a small amount of cash. Later that same day RCMP responded to another disturbance involving a female that was “acting very unusual.” Dellebuur said investigators were able to determine the female involved in the disturbance was the same female involved in the Subway robbery. A 46-year-old woman, whose name was not released by RCMP, was arrested. She has been released to appear in Penticton court in January 2013.
Baby found at drug bust Western News Staff
A baby was found in a Penticton hotel room where RCMP executed a search warrant that also turned up methamphetamine and drug trafficking paraphernalia. Penticton RCMP Drug Task Force officers arrested Brody Raymond Murray on four drug trafficking and weapons charges on Dec. 6. The 22-year-old Penticton man was arrested outside of a shopping mall for allegedly trafficking methamphetamine and being in possession of a large canister of bear spray. Cpl. Brad Myhre said after the arrest a drug search warrant was executed at a Penticton hotel room in the 1400 block of Main Street where the officers found three adults and the seven-month-old baby. From the initial arrest and the from the motel room, Myhre said various quantities of meth and drug trafficking paraphernalia were seized. Murray was remanded into custody on his charges and the three adults in the hotel room were later released with no charges. Myhre said Murray is eligible for the new mandatory minimum sentence under the CDSA due to the alleged presence of a weapon during his arrest.

Christmas Dinner
Musicians give back at food drive concert Kristi Patton
Western News Staff
What started as a few bands looking to jam for a good cause has turned into a mini music festival being held at the Shatford Centre in Penticton this Friday. “It went from humble beginnings of a couple of bands getting together to do a 60-seat venue to now about 16 different types of acts and maybe a 400 plus seat venue,” said Gordon Cunningham, one of the organizers. Playing for the love of music, community bands have joined forces to create South Okanagan Musicians Unite and will be taking over the Shatford Centre for a free concert for the public. All that is required for entrance is a nonperishable food item for donation or a new toy. Those items will be distributed to various food banks in Penticton to hand out including the Inn From The Cold program at Cheers Church and the Gateway Resource Centre at Victory Church.
“Times are tough for a lot of people and we are just getting so much support from the community it is great to see,” said Cunningham. “I believe this is going to be so successful and maybe we will have to do one in the summer because people are in need throughout the year.” One of the unique aspects to this mini music festival is the diversity of sounds that will take the stages. Cunningham said the evening will start off acoustically at 4 p.m. with The Group of 7, and will be turned over to amplified music including rock and roll and hip hop from 8 p.m. to midnight. The Group of Seven were chosen as the opening act to honour their lifetime achievements. As well as musical diversity, audiences will see a range of ages. From a group that has one of the oldest musicians participating (in his 70s) to some young musicians called AK Strings that includes a 17-year-old playing the violin. “It is really quite a neat collection of people
and it is sort of like the old ones passing the torch to the young ones playing in the same venue. It all fits in with the do unto others and love your neighbour kind of idea that we have,” said Cunningham, who will be playing with the Jeri and the Hatrix band. While the idea of a benefit concert blossomed in a matter of days from two acts to five to 16, those weren’t the only phone calls Cunningham was fielding. Every time a challenge came up, someone in the community stepped forward to help, from All’s Well Security, sound and lighting experts to KalTire now bringing their special events BBQ and Huber Bannister Chevrolet helping by accepting donations of food and toys until Dec. 21 for the musicians to donate. Now, Cunningham said, they are looking at having three acts in different rooms running simultaneously on Friday to ensure everyone gets to play. He added they will be giving out wristbands and if one room fills up
they will close the doors and when the next act takes the stage try and move people through. “We hope to turn the building over, that is why we have acts in different rooms and hope people circulate through so more can come in and enjoy the music,” said Cunningham. Whatever style of music you enjoy, Cunningham said you’ll probably find it at the Shatford on Friday starting right outside the doors where a musician will be playing his keyboard dressed up as Santa Claus and magician Gordon De Roos and Doc Holloway in the foyer. Performing in the main and side rooms will be AK Strings, The Group of 7, Left Fork Band, Pentictones, Janet and Ken Bates of Instruments of Change, William Leggott, Melody Hanlin and Craig, Thurein Myint and Jennifer Lauren, Mad Melody Records hip hop artists, Top Dead Centre, Penticton Indian Band dancers and drummers, Spadefoot, Okos Pokos Band and Jeri and the
Art challenge stirs up big response Kristi Patton
Western News Staff
Budding artists have been given the opportunity to display their work and give back to the community at the same time. Viv Lieskovsky, artist and educator at three36 Lakehouse Studio, issued a painting challenge to her students with 20 per cent of sales from their work being donated to the Salvation Army food bank. “These are people who never have exhibited before, so they are brand new to the art world and I thought it is a nice opportunity for them to have a space to exhibit their work,” said Lieskovsky. The idea came as she sat in the waiting area of Even Dance studio with her daughter and noticed the
walls were quite bare. Lieskovsky issued the painters parameters of using a word associated with dance, including the definition on the work and using different textures in a mixed-media format on a 16 inch by 16 inch canvas. Each piece is on display at the studio and for sale for $125. “It’s a reasonable price for art as well, especially for that size. You can’t buy something from a store that is of that size and at that price. The bonus here is that it is original art. You could be purchasing a piece from an upcoming artists and turn it into an investment,” said Lieskovsky. Getting such a great response from the artists, Lieskovsky has tentatively set up other locations
for another painting challenge that will also give back to the community. “I had so much interest and it is just a fun thing to do,” said Lieskovsky. Featured at the Even Dance studio exhibit, 109-78 Industrial Ave., that runs until Dec. 20 are work from Brianna Braun, Karina Chambers, Connie Hack, Brenda Molyneaux, Mandy Rollins, Mindy Rollins, Nancy Nyhus and Jane Owen. View the work Monday to Thursday from 3:30 to 9:30 p.m., Wednesday 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Friday 3:30 to 6:30 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and Sunday 2 to 5 p.m. To find out more about upcoming painting challenges visit www.vivmcelgunn-lieskovsky.com.

What better way to finish off 2012 or kick start 2013 than in the city that never sleeps — Las Vegas. It is where Shania Twain, one of the world’s best-selling female artists of all time, debuted her new show Shania: Still The One earlier this month. Twain has a two-year residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace and a show that will take fans on a journey through the various stages of her life and career in an unforgettable evening filled with music, multi-sensory and visual experiences, fashion and the unexpected. If country music suits your ears then you should also see Tim McGraw and Faith Hill who will be playing weekends at The Venetian Las Vegas until April 2013. Their show, Soul2Soul, marks the first time in six years that the married duo have performed together in the United States. Soul2Soul will include many of the No. 1 hits that have made them, both in their own right, two of the most significant entertainers of our generation. While at the Venetian, there is plenty to do with the Winter in Venice celebration that features 50 days of holiday festivities through to Jan. 6. These include an outdoor skating rink, Manheim Steamroller Christmas performances, nightly holiday parade, 65-foot Christmas tree, 3D light show and culinary competitions. Or, hop over to the Cosmopolitan who have transformed their boulevard pool into a winter wonderland with a skating rink, custom designed fire pits, warm cocktails, s’mores and much more until Jan. 20. If rock music is more your style then don’t miss Def Leppard, fresh off their Rock of Ages tour, as they take up an exclusive non-show residency at The Joint inside Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. The band’s set will feature their greatest hits and iconic album Hysteria being played in full. The residency kicks off March 22 running through April 10. Also celebrating a new show is Cirque du Soleil who is presenting Zarkana at Aria Resort and Casino at CityCenter. The show follows Zark, the ringmaster of an extraordinary circus coming back to life, as he guides the audience in an abandoned theatre populated by a motley collection of off-the-wall characters and incomparable acrobats.

If you can’t get to Las Vegas until the end of 2013, you might be able to catch the opening of the redevelopment of Downtown Grand Hotel and Casino.

Also opening in 2013 (March), is a collaboration with Cirque du Soleil and MGM Resorts International. Light at Mandalay Bay will be the first-ever nightclub from Cirque du Soleil, merging cutting-edge creativity with incredible music to produce a new kind of nightlife experience.

Students cover a lot of ground for food bank
Gifts for her that are Santa inspired. Buy one, receive second item 25% off
Joe Fries
Western News Staff
Hours after the final bell rang Thursday, Penticton Secondary was still buzzing as volunteers sorted, counted and carried away 13,000 food-item donations for the Salvation Army. Upwards of 600 high school students and other volunteers blanketed the city and collected enough items to easily surpass the stated goal of the annual 10,000 Tonight food drive. “We don’t really know what it’s like to not have access to food all the time, and I feel like this kind of gives you a glimpse of that, but not really,” said volunteer Jolene Gunning, a Grade 11 student at Penticton Secondary. She and peers from Princess Margaret Secondary rubbed elbows at the sorting station as they separated similar food items, like canned goods or pasta, into milk crates. Runners then hauled the crates to counting stations where the number of items was tallied, then took the donations out to a large van that later delivered the haul to the Salvation Army. Gunning, 15, worked her first 10,000 Tonight when she was 10 because both her parents are teachers, and feels a familiar glow each year. “It just makes you feel good and makes you feel like you helped in some way,” she said. Penticton Secondary vice-principal Jeff Guy noted students participate in other events, like blanket drives, to benefit the Sally Ann, “but this is the one I think folks look forward to because it brings so many people together.” Guy said every available route was covered this year, which means almost every home in the city should have received a visit. “Not everyone is home and some people don’t get the message, but for the most part the response has been wonderful, especially given the economic times we’re in,” he said. Not only that, but donors seemed willing to give more than the usual staples. “I’ve seen pet food come through here. I’ve seen baby food come through here. And other items that you wouldn’t normally expect,” Guy said. “People see the need and always seem to come through for us.” Christine Simmons, the Sally Ann’s community ministries director, said it will take a week for volunteers to sort through the donations from 10,000 Tonight, which should help feed hungry people well into next year. “We still have to buy some things, but for the most part, it will keep us going until April,” she said. Simmons said the event seems to run more smoothly each year and continually renews many people’s faith in the younger generation. “I think we all, the older we get, maybe the less understanding we are of teenagers and we forget that we were this age at one point…. It just reinforces your faith in the fact there are good people in the world and a lot of them are kids,” she said. “They’re more community-minded I think than when I was a child.”

Lakers sold to 100 Mile House 30 years ago. There is a hunger in the community. Its midget rep team played their first home game two weekends ago and attracted over 300 fans. Bachynski is part of a group that built the South Cariboo Recreation Centre nine years ago specifically to host a junior B team. “It’s been a long run for us,” he said. “Christmas has come early. It’s the best gift we could have ever asked for. It was a pretty emotional night last night. It’s great for our community.” Bachynski joked that he hopes Pentictonites won’t throw rocks at them and wishes the Lakers success the rest of the season and plans on making a few visits. Having grown up in Nelson and being an alumni of the Leafs, Bachynski said he knows what a team can mean to the social fabric of a community. “I look forward to seeing that fabric grow over the next few years of what the junior B team is going

MUSTANGS GUARD Harman Randhawa puts pressure on the South Okanagan Secondary School Hornets defence with this offensive drive. The Mustangs threw everything they could at the Hornets, but lost their season-opener at Princess Margaret Secondary 58-49 Monday night.
The Penticton Lakers have been sold. During a conference call Thursday night, members of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League voted 15-2 in favor of the sale and relocation of the Lakers to 100 Mile House. Andy Oakes, president of the Okanagan Hockey Academy which owns the Lakers, said the sale is a positive move. “I think the community of 100 Mile House is a quality community for the KIJHL,” said Oakes. “I think it’s exciting for the league to be going into a new market.” Oakes, who dealt with 100 Mile House president Tom Bachynski and his group, said he feels they will be a solid franchise. As for selling the Lakers, Oakes said it is bittersweet. “We have enjoyed having the Lakers, but it was time to move on,” he said. “It is nice to see it going to community that’s excited to have junior hockey.” Bachynski said 100 Mile House hasn’t had a team in a junior B circuit since the Blazer club competed in the Cariboo Hockey League
to bring,” he said. The team will be known as the Wranglers and Bachynski said the name seems like a good fit. “We wanted it to have an identity,” he said, adding that they have a Facebook page, 100 Mile House Wranglers. “Have people rally around it.” The last hurdle is approval from B.C. Hockey. Bachynski is confident that is just a “rubber stamp” considering how the voting went. Bill Ohlhausen, president of the KIJHL, said he’s hopeful B.C. Hockey approves it. It’s expected a decision should be made within a month. “I think they will be a good partner for the other teams,” said Ohlhausen. “They seem to have lots of enthusiasm. They have a pretty good group up there that are involved. I’m sure they will make it work.” By going into 100 Mile House, Ohlhausen said this will bring variety to teams as far as a new venue. “I think it makes it very good for Chase and Kamloops and Sicamous and Revelstoke,” he said. “I think that’s a nice little division.” Should the approval go, the Wranglers would hit the ice for the 2013/14 season.

Western News Staff
Momentum from a regular season win carried over for the Pen High Lakers Grade 9 girls’ basketball team. The Lakers overcame a 10-point deficit to defeat the Osoyoos Rattlers 23-19 last Thursday. The Lakers then went undefeated in their home tournament, beating teams from Kelowna and Vernon. The final pitted them against Vernon’s W.L. Seaton Sonics, a 46-16 final. Sydney Foster led all scorers with 11 points while Shayla Watson, Zoe Konanz, and Julia Speirs each chipped in six points. Lakers co-coach Lesley Lacroix said she and Bill Bidlake have worked the players on developing a motion offence that requires the players to think and move as a team. “By the end of the weekend, we had seen a huge improvement in their ability to read the defence and make wise offensive choices,” said Lacroix. The Lakers opened the tournament by pounding the Vernon Secondary School Panthers 41-15. Holowaty finished with 12 points, while Foster and Jaimy Coates chipped in 10 and six points, respectively. Sydney Overland collected five rebounds. Facing Kelowna’s Constable Neil Bruce Cubs, the Lakers won 37-31. Clarke netted 13 points, while Foster, Kelsey Rowlands, and Ali Vandermey contributed 16 steals to lead the fast-break offence. “As coaches, games are important as they highlight the deficiencies our team has, and then from there we can alter future practices,” said Lacroix. “For example, we rebounded very poorly at both ends of the floor, and haven’t devoted enough time in practices to the concepts of blocking out and offensively crashing the boards.” As for their win against the Rattlers, Lacroix said there wasn’t importance to winning their opening game. “We are focusing on the future,” she said. “Bill and I intend to follow these great kids up for four years. Win/loss records, although it is nice to win, are a small part of what we hope to achieve as a team over the years.” The team has a bye week and then will contin-

ue play in the week leading up to Christmas Break. KVR’s Grade 8 Express team played in the tournament and went 1-1-1. The Express experienced jitters against the Cubs, which resulted in a 10-point loss. Game two had pitted them against the Sonics and they had a onepoint lead at half-time. “The team exploded on offence in the second half and pulled off a 13-point victory 51-38,” said Express coach Rene Aubin. “Around half-time the girls started to believe in themselves and that they could win. This amped up the energy of our full court press … and forced a lot of turnovers.” Lyndzie Caron led all scorers with 19 points. Cali Anderson was a leader on the floor and scored nine points. Their third game resulted in a 27-27 final against the Panthers. Aubin said his team needed to adjust to the physical play of their opponent. Trailing 14-2 after the first quarter, the Express decided to match the physical style the next quarter. That helped them close the gap to 16-12 by halftime. The Panthers maintained a small lead most of the half and had a three-point lead with 10 seconds remaining. After calling a timeout to set up Hannah Clarke, their three-point shooter, the Express watched as the defence interfered with their plans. However, Clarke gathered the loose ball and made the tying shot. “I am very pleased with the girls going 1-1-1,” Aubin said. “For the first
time this season we were physically and athletically outmatched and we had to find new ways to be successful — including playing tough defensive basketball. The girls battle hard and in the end their confidence grew as individuals and as a team.”
Kiera Moroziuk was a fierce competitor on the floor. She and Tianna Apps contributed five points each. Hannah Clarke and Lyndzie Caron led the scorers with eight points apiece. This weekend the Express host the KVR Winter Classic.

Soleway and DePourcq shine for Vees Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff
Jedd Soleway has made an immediate impression on his Penticton Vees linemates. After being dealt to Penticton from the Vernon Vipers for Dexter Dancs last week, Soleway earned an assist on Louie Nanne’s hat trick goal to give the Vees a 7-1 win Friday. He also dished out some big hits. On Saturday against the Langley Rivermen, he was a bigger offensive threat, scoring his first as a Vee and adding two assists. “He played unreal,” said Vees forward Wade Murphy, who skated on a line with Soleway and Nanne. “I’m real excited to play with him. He goes hard to the net.” During the Vees’ recent Coach’s Corner
show, similarities between Soleway and former captain Logan Johnston were discussed. Soleway has a one-inch advantage on Johnston. Murphy agreed that there are similarities between them. “He’s just as big,” said Murphy. “He is powerful and has a great shot. He has hockey smarts.” Murphy also said Soleway’s presence makes the Vees tougher because “our forwards were kind of small.” Against the Rivermen, Murphy, who also had a goal and two assists in the win, noticed Soleway had more confidence playing alongside him. Murphy said he, Soleway and Nanne can be successful. Besides being impressed by Soleway’s size, Nanne said the line is complemented with the
Vernon product because he brings a two-way game with skill. It blends well with Murphy’s scoring abilities and Nanne’s own two-way game. Nanne is excited to see what the line can do. “He’s a real hard worker,” said Nanne. “He helps on ice and in practice. He is pushing guys to next level.” Another player having a strong weekend for the Vees on the stats sheet was Cody DePourcq. The Penticton product snapped a 22-game goal drought with two against Merritt. He then scored one against the Rivermen. All three of his goals were on the backhand, two on wraparound plays. “He’s been snake bitten,” said Murphy. “He’s worked hard. Watching him is definitely inspiring.

He’s the hardest worker out there.” DePourcq said he felt a weight come off after scoring three goals. Despite his struggles offensively, he didn’t want to think about it too much. “I feel like I’m playing very well,” he said. “I just try to figure out other ways to help the team be successful.” Having four goals and 11 points after 30 games may not be what DePourcq had in mind, but he hasn’t lost confidence. He’s also happy in the other areas he’s improved. “I’m much better defensively, much smarter,” he said. “I realize what it takes to be a centreman in this league.” As for the Vees’ play, Murphy said he likes how the team is looking. They are 7-2-0-1 in their last 10. “Those were our best two games of the year,” he said. On Wednesday the Vees host the Salmon Arm SilverBacks. The last time the teams met in Salmon Arm, the Vees lost 3-2 in overtime. Murphy said they will be looking for revenge. “They are young and good,” said Murphy, adding that the SilverBacks have become a hard working group. Vees notes: Through 14 games, Vees attendance at the South Okanagan Events Centre is down 899 from 22,484 last year in the same number of games. It’s an average of 64 fewer fans per game.Murphy snapped a five-game goal drought when he scored the opening goal against the Rivermen. He is second in BCHL scoring with 38 points.

Mary Diane (M.D.) (nee Trimble) Passed away peacefully at home on Monday, November 26, 2012. She was a remarkable woman who had many amazing accomplishments throughout her life. She was a talented professional figure skater who skated in the Ice Capades, and passed her final Gold Level Skating Dances when she was 40 years old, a feat that not many had done at her age. She brought up her children as a single mom, working tirelessly as a figure skating teacher and ski instructor. M.D. built and landscaped her dream home in the neighbourhood and the town that she loved for 55 years. At the age of 55, she re-educated herself as a Medical Office Assistant and worked until she was 70. M.D. had 4 children with her first husband Charlie Campbell (Chad, Cari, King and Kelly), 7 grandchildren (Cole, Natalee, Tor, Reid, Dylan, Derek and Dean), and 2 great-grandchildren (Dakota and Logan). She was married to Jim Graham, and together they enjoyed many fun days and evenings at the Penticton Golf Course (her second home) and Jim was a great support to her during her heroic struggle with ALS. Many Pentictonites will remember M.D. as the women who walked about town in her colour coordinated knee high socks and visor. She will be dearly missed by her family, friends, Penticton Golf Club, and City Hall. In lieu of flowers, please support the ALS Society of BC. A celebration of M.D.’s life will be held at the Penticton Golf Club on Friday, December 14, from 1 – 4 p.m.

SOSBIS president issues wake-up call Kristi Patton Western News Staff
Putting it bluntly, the president of the South
Okanagan Similkameen Brain Injury Society said he has been “disappointed” and has never experienced “such a
dysfunctional group.” James Palanio hopes the message he wrote in the Fall 2012 quarterly Brain Waves newslet-
ter hit some nerves with the board members and serves as a call to action. In the president’s message, Palanio noted as-
pects of SOSBIS that he said gave him concern. In particular, he said there was an inability to work amicably together,

stops customers pain within days! “It works! I’ll take another two bottles please!” This coming from a customer who had tried every other natural remedy under the sun in the past few years to take away her pain. Ian, the owner of the health food store couldn’t believe his ears. He had finally found the perfect product to stop his customer’s miseries. This is what every owner of a health food store dreams about, a natural product that receives so many outstanding testimonials on such a wide variety of health issues. “I had recommended a new product called LeafSource, which we recently started carrying. We have had tremendous success with this product, and almost everyone we have recommended it to over the last few months has come back and thanked us over and over again” said Ian. Before trying LeafSource, the woman had complained about her ongoing joint pain and was at her wit’s end. Although she had experienced some relief through the numerous natural remedies she had tried over the years, the pain would never fully go away.“ She returned to my store, in tears, less than one week after buying LeafSource. I didn’t know what to make of this woman standing in front of me crying, until she told me that within a few days of taking LeafSource her pain started to disappear and within a week it was completely gone - as if it was never there.” Ian goes on, “This coming from a woman whose painful joints and ongoing sciatica were so bad just one week earlier, that the pain was unbearable but now has completely subsided.”
By now you are probably wondering what is LeafSource and why is it so effective? LeafSource is a 100% natural product derived from a proprietary organic mineral composite with over ten years of university research. LeafSource helps regulate the inflammatory process and the body’s ability to repair itself. The vast majority (70 - 80%) of the population over the age of 50 have joint problems — often called osteoarthritis. This is due to the natural (or unnatural) wear and tear on joint tissue that develops through the aging process. With joint infl ammation, movement is limited and pain can be constant. LeafSource seems to have the ability to help people get their mobility and zest for life back. Millions of people seek treatment for their joint and inflammation problems by resorting to expensive, toxic prescription drugs (i.e. NSAIDs) with multiple side effects. These range from nausea and vomiting to serious intestinal disorders (bleeding, gas, pain) and even kidney and liver failure. Isn’t that too large a price to pay for a little pain relief!? LeafSource is a safe alternative to these destructive anti-infl ammatory drugs that cause
Best Superfood with multiple health 2010 Bes t in Canada Award
more problems than they solve. There are absolutely no side effects and it doesn’t interfere with any other medications. Controlled experiments and observations have revealed that LeafSource is a potent antiinflammatory that has been shown to bring a reduction to inflammation and pain within a few days. People notice great results in terms of more energy and less pain by taking anywhere from 2 to 6 capsules/day. Typical maintenance is usually 1 capsule twice daily. This product gets results! LeafSource is scientifically validated through more than 10 years of research at 4 universities, including the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mercer University. Aside from its incredible anti-infl ammatory and pain reducing ability, it has also been shown to improve the performance of your daily nutrition and vitamin programs. It helps increase the absorption of vital nutrients, which in turn helps these nutrients work better. Better absorption = better results! It’s almost as if they have become supercharged! LeafSource has also been shown to help enhance energy levels, improve intestinal health, strengthen hair, skin and nails and improve immune function. To see someone go from intense pain to a new lease on life within a week is truly incredible. Imagine being able to move freely without pain. Who wouldn’t want to get out of bed in the morning with more energy? It’s amazing how much of this stuff we take
for granted, until it’s gone! Ian adds, “I often recommend that LeafSource be taken with other natural joint products in order to help them work better and provide even faster relief. One of the things I hear most often from people who have tried LeafSource is they just plain feel better, have more energy and less pain. We’re so confi dent, we guarantee LeafSource 100%! That alone should be enough to try this incredible product.”

a lack of trust among board members, deficiency of respect among board members, no common understanding of how the board should work and an insufficient focus on the goals on the society. “I needed people to think. It’s worded the way it is and I got a couple of calls on it and I have chatted to people about it. Ultimately that is what I wanted,” said Palanio, president of board of directors for the non-profit organization. “I tried to shock people into thinking about if we are not looking at the broader picture we are not being as helpful as we can be to members and to the clients.” SOSBIS promotes prevention, as well as provides education and support for individuals with acquired brain injuries. They also provide a housing and homeless program. Palanio said his concerns stem from the narrow focus of board members. “I understand that everyone on the board is passionate about why they came there. Unfortunately we have a broad range of brain injury from stroke to addiction problems to car accidents. Some are thinking about only working towards the area that they are most concerned about without looking at the broad picture of the entire society,” said Palanio. With an impending annual general meeting on Thursday, Palanio said the board will be decreasing the amount of elected spots from

nine to seven, which he believes will bring more cohesion. He said the society has stayed the course this past year, and in his opinion has not seen a lot of “progression.” Although, he said the past few meetings board members have come to the table with more understanding of one another. The president said from his knowledge the society has received more positive than negative feedback from members and clients about the services provided. Palanio said this is where the idea of progression comes in — having a strategic plan set out at the beginning of the year with set goals to accomplish while adding services to their portfolio. All solutions Palanio hopes will help move SOSBIS forward that will be implemented in the new year. The public annual general meeting is scheduled for Thursday at 5 p.m. in Salon C of the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre. Anyone interested in learning more about SOSBIS and the services they provide to those with acquired brain injury can visit www.sosbis.ca.
