Children’s festival facing further turmoil after losing title sponsor

HEAD IN THE CLOUDS — Jim Gardin of the Penticton Model Aviation Club works on one of his scale replica flying machines at the club’s new flight centre at the Osoyoos Airport.

Members were at the site recently, and in addition to the midweek sessions usually have flying time at the same location one day on the weekend depending on weather conditions.

OFF AND RUNNING Candidates hit the campaign trail for the May 14 provincial election Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

It’s a rookie crop of politicians, at least provincially, on the ballot for the Penticton riding in the May 14 provincial election.

But three of the four are touting their newness to the game as a positive, spending the first few days of the campaign putting up signs and door knocking throughout the riding, which extends from Peachland to Penticton.

“I’m not a career politician, I didn’t get into this to further my career. I had a wonderful fulfilling career in biology and was enjoying life immensely,” said Dick Cannings, the NDP candidate. “I got into it because I thought I could

make a difference. I thought I could provide a different and really needed new perspective in politics both locally and provincially.”

Doug Maxwell, a retired mechanic who is now running for B.C. First, has similar thoughts.

“I am not a politician,” said Maxwell. “I’ve been in Penticton for 20 years and I see a lot of waste going on in government. My mandate personally is to try and change that.”

Sean Upshaw, a Kelowna resident whose last try at politics was an unsuccessful bid for the federal Conservative nomination of Okanagan Coquihalla, doesn’t like to use the title politician. He prefers “representative,” someone who is willing to go to Victoria to speak on behalf of the people of the riding.

“I recognize that the people need somebody on their side,” said Upshaw, who was a

SALE

last-minute nominee for the B.C. Conservative party.

Only Penticton Mayor Dan Ashton, now running for the B.C. Liberals, is bringing any experience as a politician to the campaign. He’s relying on his record in municipal and regional politics to sway voters to his side.

“I get things done. I have long, proven track record of getting things done, and working with people to get things done. You can’t do it all by yourself,” said Ashton. “I have shown that time and time again, in my position as chair of the RDOS and councillor and mayor of Penticton.”

The issues the candidates have been hearing about while getting out and about in the riding vary, but all four candidates come back to the Penticton hospital expansion at some point. For Ashton, it’s the focus of his campaign, though he admits it didn’t come up as often while can-

70%

vassing outside Penticton.

“The hospital is by far the largest focus for me. That hasn’t appeared in Summerland and Peachland in the door knocking,” said Ashton. “People know that it is my No. 1 priority, though.”

Upshaw, who spent his first day on the campaign trail in the northern end of the riding, also had the hospital on his mind.

“I’ve only been in Peachland, so I am not hearing about what would probably be the No. 1 issue in Penticton, and that is the future of the Penticton hospital and tower that they so desperately need and deserve,” said Upshaw.

“What I am hearing in Peachland is they are really just tired of the scandals and mismanagement of the Liberal party over the past 10 years.”

Premier Christy Clark may have gone off script in February when she paid a visit to Penticton Regional Hospital and promised afterwards to get bureaucrats moving on planning work for a $300-million expansion project.

The premier toured PRH on Feb. 15 and told reporters afterwards that she would “kick down those barriers” that had stalled development of a business case for the proposed ambulatory care tower.

That course of action was not, however, mentioned in a briefing note prepared for Clark in advance of her trip to Penticton and obtained by the Western News through a freedom of information request.

“There are many calls in the community to expand and upgrade the 61-year-old Penticton Regional Hospital and there is growing frustration that Penticton is being overlooked in favour of hospital capital projects in Vernon and Kelowna,” the note states.

Then, in preparation for questions on the issue, the note advises Clark only to acknowledge that she understands the hospital tower is a priority for the community and that her government

BriefiNg Notes show Premier Christy Clark may have gone off script during a february visit to Penticton regional Hospital, where she stopped to chat with Janice Perrino.

is committed to building it, but no timeline is attached.

The note also suggests she talk about how much money the Liberal government spent on health-care capital projects since gaining power in 2001, and explain the difficulties faced by decision-makers trying to balance funding requests across B.C. Clark returned to the hospital in March to announce her government had come up with $2 million to complete the business case, and “notionally identified” cash for construction of the tower.

Other topics addressed in the briefing note for Clark’s February visit to the South Okanagan include: n WestJet Encore overlooks Penticton: The city was not included on the initial list of destinations to be served by WestJet’s new regional carrier. Clark was advised to respond by noting that additional destinations are expected to be announced as the company receives aircraft this year, and that Encore’s stated focus is on western Canada. n Nuisance deer: Media reports raised concerns about

problems associated with deer in urban areas. The premier was told to explain that solutions will vary by community, and that the B.C. government can provide staff to consult on deer management plans, help with development of hunting regulations and loan equipment where needed. n Future policing costs in Osoyoos: The town’s population is expected for the first time to exceed 5,000 when the 2016 census is conducted, which will result in a big increase in the cost of RCMP service. Clark was to mention that cost-sharing formulas are set out in federal agreements and the B.C. government “would encourage emerging municipalities to prepare for the possible future increases in policing costs.” n Affordable housing in Oliver: The cost of housing is becoming an increasing concern for the town. It’s suggested the premier touch on legislative amendments that are meant to increase the supply of rental housing, and also note the B.C. government provides $500,000 annually for subsidized housing and rent supplements for 150 households in Oliver.

A copy of the briefing note is available with the online version of this story at www.pentictonwesternnews.com.

Getting back on track in the desert Trainers and jockeys saddle up for another season of horse racing Mark Brett Western News Staff

OSOYOOS — As the stable doors open, the glare from the bare light bulbs and stark shadows inside fade with the sun’s encroachment.

From the long rows of wooden stalls comes the rustling sounds of waking animals, and the familiar odours of horse and hay rise up to greet Diana Feurehelm as she begins her day.

To the thoroughbred trainer and owner from Olds, Alta., it’s the smell of success.

Feurehelm While the long hours, low pay, and no guarantees did not offer good career odds, in 2006 she decided to leave a $70,000-a-year engineer’s job to take on the challenge of producing winning race horses.

“I did a lot of stupid things at first and I had to learn a lot of stuff the hard way but this is something I love, it’s a passion,” said Feurehelm, whose winnings have gone from $15,000 her first year to over $90,000 in each of the past three seasons. “Horsemanship is not sold in a bottle, it comes from years of experience.

“I guess the best way to describe it, is that the highs are so incredibly high and the lows are so incredibly low. It’s like a roller coaster but I love it.”

The highs for her include taking an untrained horse or one that has been abused or neglected and putting it in the winner’s circle.

The low is seeing a horse that has been nursed back to health, snap a leg 10 strides past the finish line and die on the track.

“Yes, it’s a different game and it’s taught me a lot but there isn’t anything like it,” she said, waving a hand to wipe away the bad memories.

“You get up in the morning and you’re galloping around the race track — you can smell the sap in the trees, feel the wind, and even on a raining day how it smells so good. You feel the horse underneath you and they’re doing everything right and you feel this incredible amount of power that’s just ready to turn loose.”

In any given year at Desert Park Race Track there are between 60 and 200 thoroughbreds preparing for the upcoming season with their trainers and handlers.

For people like Feurehelm, the track is a hidden jewel in the desert.

“It’s awesome here, and without Osoyoos I would have no success because right now we are two months ahead of everybody else,” she said. “It is critical to be able to come down here and put on all these slow miles, building up the stamina. It takes so long to build that muscle on a race horse and it’s the hardest part of the season because you go at it all day, everyday.”

Clint Willson, is now in his 70s, purchasing his first race horse in 1954 and beginning training full time about 20 years later.

Mark Brett/Western News

TraiNer aNd oWNer Clint Willson readies one of his thoroughbreds for some track time in the stables at desert Park raceway in osoyoos. each year in late winter and early spring the horses come to the track to prepare for the upcoming race season.

When asked where home is, he points a pitchfork in the direction of a white fifthwheel trailer in a small spot near the park entrance.

He and partner Judy Bradley usually begin working the racers here in late-November and stay on until mid-April before returning to Alberta for the season.

“I’m not sure why I enjoy it so much,” said Willson, as he stopped his haying chores briefly. “I guess you might say it is a passion I have for the horses, I really can’t put my finger on it, sort of like an obsession.

“You definitely don’t do it for the for the money, although I’ve been very fortunate to make some money over the years.”

His greatest enjoyment?

“Winning,” he said, as the smile on the weathered face spreads. “I may not be able to afford the best horses but I’ve outrun a lot of millionaires in my day and there’s a definite satisfaction in that.”

Trainers are as individual as the horses they work with. Willson rarely gets emotionally attached to his animals, while Feurehelm says she can’t avoid it.

Regardless of technique, the success at the end of the season comes down to the bottom line, which is why this time of year is so important.

“Plain and simple, if you don’t get this part right, you don’t win races,” said Willson.

Although trainers and staff work in close proximity and even though they know each

other only too well, there is little communication back and forth, it’s all business.

A nod of the head on the way to the track or a hollered jibe from a stable-length away is about it.

“Oh yeah, it’s cutthroat, there are no friends in this business,” said Feurehelm. “Sure, you help each other out once in awhile but that friendship stops at the stall door. There are a

lot of unspoken rules, dos and don’ts that you learn very quickly.”

Although not a full-fledged trainer, Wayne Supernant’s skills are highly valued at Desert Park.

He is a retired professional jockey who has a proven knack to bring horses to race readiness in the pre-season.

Not surprisingly, like many others in the business, his first riding memories were as a youngster.

“My grandfather used to strap me to his logging horses and we went tootling off through the bush with nobody hanging on me,” said the 56-year-old, laughing at the image from the past. “From then on I’ve always had a pretty good feel for horses, some people have it, some people don’t. It’s all in your hands and if you have light hands you do pretty good.”

After training under some of Canada’s best jockeys in Ontario, Supernant began a successful 20-year career out west which lasted until 1992.

“I had to stop because my body just couldn’t take it any more,” he said. “It’s a pretty hard life and a hectic one. You make some good choices and you make some bad choices, fortunately I made pretty good choices during my riding career and did well.”

Back then one of his favourite race venues was Desert Park when it was still in operation and where he is riding once again. Horse racing is scheduled to return to Osoyoos for June 15 and Aug. 31 and will bring 64 horses each day into the 120 stalls at Desert Park These days, Supernant keeps pretty much to himself, and when he’s not on the track, can be found sitting at the entry way to the stable.

And even though the rides are a little slower now and the dilapidated grandstand is empty, his love of the horse business remains just as strong as ever.

It’s also why, when he closes the stable door each night, he looks forward to the morning and getting back into the saddle one more time.

reTired joCkey Wayne Supernant waits as arleen Longstaff goes to prepare another horse for him to ride as part of the regular training program.

Teaching assistant found guilty of luring child Kristi Patton Western News Staff

A former casual em-

ployee of Okanagan Skaha School District has been found guilty of communicating via com-

puter to lure a child under 16.

chatting with an RCMP constable working with the Surrey Integrated Child Exploitation Unit under the persona of Vicki Cooper, a 13-yearold girl who went by the screen name of GorgeousVicki1998.

“This is a situation where he got carried away with a fantasy, unfortunately that one was an unlawful one,” said Judge Gale Sinclair during his decision on Tuesday at the Penticton courthouse.

The trial, which started in November, wrapped up on Tuesday with the defence calling Hughes to the stand. The 36-year-old told the court he had been chatting with several women online and had even had met some in person to have sexual encounters.

Chat logs entered as evidence showed he ini-

tiated the conversation with GorgeousVicki1998 and it continued for about two months before Hughes’ arrest at his home in Summerland on June 17, 2011.

The court earlier heard from Hughes’ wife, who he is now separated from. She said Hughes had not made any friends since they moved from Slave Lake, Alta., that he had lost self-confidence and grown lonely.

Hughes had been working as a casual certified education assistant but was only filling in for teachers on sick days or vacation and had become depressed. She also said her husband was extremely stubborn when he was out to prove something and became “stuck” on the topic.

Defence counsel Emmet Duncan rehashed that fact in his closing,

pushing for the truth, according to the defence.

“He believed this person was an adult and that gave him reason to play the game and cause this person to come out,” said Duncan. “Mr. Hughes’ game is consistent with the weird world of the Internet where you have people trying to one up another.”

Sinclair said during his decision that he does not think Hughes is a repeat offender or a pedophile.

“He just got addicted to chatting and crossed the line and learned his lesson,” said Sinclair.

“My gut reaction is this is not a guy that is going to go to jail.”

A June 12 date has been set for Hughes to return to court for sentencing. A mandatory minimum jail sentence is not applicable for the charge.

saying his client felt GorgeousVicki1998 was not a 13-year-old girl and he was “stuck” on proving it. Their chats ranged from regular conversation to directing her on how to masturbate and discussion about oral sex.

Duncan said his client questioned the age of the girl because of her sentence structure, and skepticism grew when she once said she was using the computer in the school library to chat with him. He said he knew computers at schools were disengaged to allow online chatting.

Hughes had also asked GorgeousVicki1998 to send him pictures of herself numerous times, and when she finally did, it appeared suspicious, as though someone was trying to hide their identity, said Duncan. This kept the stubborn Hughes

delayed this so long,” said Cannings, adding that the overall message he is getting is people are ready for a change. “Probably the most common are provincial issues like the Northern Gateway pipeline. People who would normally vote Liberal are saying they are going to vote NDP because they appreciate our strong stand against the pipeline.”

Maxwell, whose B.C. First party advocates eliminating party politics, said he is concerned about the provincial debt.

“There is $289,000 every hour that is spent in interest. I can’t comprehend $2.5 billion every year in interest. How much of a hospital would that build?” asked Maxwell, who also has concerns about the political queue-jumping that has delayed the hospital expansion. “We need somebody in Victoria that is willing to speak up about these things.”

The public will get their chance to put questions to the candidates at an upcoming forum organized by the Penticton and Wine Country Chamber of Commerce on April 30 at the Penticton Lakeside Resort, from 7 to 9 p.m. A second forum on May 8, concentrating on business-related issues, will only be open to chamber members.

Legion proceeds with sale Joe Fries Western News Staff

Members of the Penticton branch of the Royal Canadian Legion voted this week to seek permission to sell their building.

Branch president Murray Grandy said the group needs approval from the Legion’s B.C. Yukon Command before it can unload its Martin Street property, but stressed that a move is not imminent.

“You can’t just sell a Legion building. There are a lot of hoops, and command have to give their OK and all sorts of things,” Grandy said.

“Hopefully it won’t have to be sold, but it could come to that.”

The branch’s hand could be forced, he explained, if its financial situation takes a turn for the worse. He said the group took out a $100,000 mortgage on the building several years ago and has struggled to keep up with payments in the face of declining membership.

“Things are looking up now,” he added. “We’re getting some young members coming in.”

The Legion’s building, which it shares with another veterans’

group, was assessed at $812,900 in 2012.

Inga Kruse, executive director of B.C. Yukon Command, said the Legion has encouraged its branches to look at all their options to help stay afloat.

“The executive in place at (the Penticton) branch right now is working really hard to rebuild it from both membership and financial perspectives. Part of their overall review is that they have been considering whether this building they are in is suitable or maybe even a good prospect for redevelopment,” she said via email.

“We are encouraging all of our branches to consider their redevelopment options based on their community needs, their current footprint and building usage. I know of at least 30 branches that are looking at all of these factors and making choices about what their location is going to look like in 10 and 20 years’ time.”

Command also issued a press release this week that highlighted a group of seven new, young members at the Penticton branch who have started a social media campaign by posting photos to Instagram and Facebook using the hash tag #savepentictonlegion.

“Like all branches who are very committed to their communities, our folks in Penticton are working hard. They are still under guidance from command, so we are making sure they get lots of support, but in the end, if Penticton wants a Legion, folks need to join and participate,” Kruse said.

The branch was placed under trusteeship in May 2012 when its previous board was removed from office over allegations of noncompliance with Legion bylaws and breaches of its liquor licence, plus issues with financial management and lotteries inventory control.

The Western News filed a freedom of information request with the responsible B.C. government ministry to obtain details of the alleged gaming and liquor infractions. However, the only records provided relate to a January 2012 investigation by the B.C. Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch into the cancellation of $90 worth of lottery tickets by a former bartender, who apparently paid for the tickets with cash from the bar’s float.

On April 22, we observe Earth Day with the goal of raising awareness of the need to foster a healthy, sustainable environment.

You can also apply some of the lessons of Earth Day to your financial situation and your approach to investing.

Give these ideas some thought: • Make the most of your existing resources - One of Earth Day’s lessons is be responsible managers of the natural resources we have available. As an investor, it’s important to maximize the benefits of the resources to which you have access. For example, are you contributing as much as you can afford to your RRSP or TFSA? • Take advantage of a favourable environment - Underlying all Earth Day activities is the goal of creating a healthy environment. You may also benefit from a positive investment environment — and that’s what we appear to be experiencing, at least in terms of low interest rates, low inflation and the steady condition of the financial market. So in this favourable atmosphere, look for those investment opportunities

• Avoid “toxic” investment moves Earth Day brings awareness to industrial toxins. When investing, you should be aware of toxic investment moves.

Many people chase after “hot” stocks after hearing about them from friends, relatives, or so-called experts in the media. But by the time these people acquire the hot stocks, the stocks may already have cooled off.

Another potentially “toxic” investment move is to try to time the market —buying investments when prices are low and selling when they’re high. In theory, this is a good strategy; however, it’s almost impossible to predict market highs and lows. Instead, consider buying quality investments and holding them for the long term, or at least until your needs change.

By following these Earth Day-related suggestions, you can help yourself make progress toward a healthier, and possibly more productive, investment environment.

Questions about your financial situation? Please call Justin White of Edward Jones. 250.490.3390

that are appropriate for your situation.

• Don’t over-consume - Excess consumption has played a big role in causing some of the environmental issues we face, therefore Earth Day teaches us to get by with less, or at least to avoid acquiring more than we need. To translate this philosophy into your investment habits, take a close look at the number of trades you make. Are you constantly selling old investments and buying new ones in the hopes of capturing higher returns?

This type of trading can result in significant fees and transaction costs, possibly higher taxes, and perhaps this constant activity, with all its starts and stops, may detract from your ability to follow a long-term, consistent investment strategy.

EDITORIAL

Temporary workers placing jobs at risk

S

atan must have been strapping on the ice skates last week, or at least wondering if he needed to put on a warmer jacket. Amidst rapidly mounting public outrage, the president of the Royal Bank of Canada issued a public apology last week.

At issue was a move by Canada’s largest bank (which, incidentally, turned a record profit of $7.6 billion last year) to outsource its IT department to an international company, which would use 45 temporary foreign workers to do the work. To add a final topping of insult to injury, the about-to-belaid-off workers were expected to train their contracted replacements.

This is not a recipe for public relations happiness. In fact, it could hardly be worse. Hence the public apology from RBC president Gordon Nixon. The good news is he promises to ensure the employees will be found new positions elsewhere in the bank’s operations.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has vowed to reform the temporary foreign worker program, which he said was intended to provide “temporary help in cases where there are absolute and acute labour shortages.” But the bad news is it turns out that lots of companies, including Tim Hortons and A&W, find they have an acute shortage of skilled workers in their sector as well, necessitating the need for hiring temporary foreign workers.

Companies have been outsourcing call centres for customer service and similar activities to other lands for a long time, so displacing Canadian workers is nothing new.

But bringing in workers on temporary permits andPENTICTON paying themWESTERN less to do the same job has become rampant. According to some statistics, temporary foreign workers are employed by 33,000 Canadian companies to fill more than 200,000 positions in all areas of the economy.

When you compare that to the number of Canadian citizens out of work, those figures are more than just bad PR.

Threats inflated to fill the space “Work expands to fill the time available for its completion,” wrote Cyril Northcote Parkinson in 1955, and instantly created a whole new domain in the study of human affairs. “Parkinson’s Law” was one of the most profound insights of the past century, but he didn’t go far enough. There is a media corollary that doesn’t get nearly enough attention.

It is this: “International confrontations expand to fill the media space available.” There is a lot of media space available nowadays, and a striking shortage of truly terrifying international threats, so the few modest ones that do exist are magnified to fill the scary news quota.

That’s why you hear so much about the North Korean nuclear threat, the Iranian nuclear threat, and the international terrorist threat. Unless you live in South Korea, or Israel, or lower Manhattan, none of these “threats” will ever disturb the even tenor of your life — and even if you do live in one of those places, it is still very unlikely.

The very unlikely did happen in lower Manhattan once, 12 years ago, but it is very, very unlikely to happen there again. Nevertheless, 9/11 is used to justify an ongoing “war on terror” that has provided long-term employment for several million people and justified well over a trillion dollars in “defence”

Gwynne Dyer

Dyer Straits spending over the past decade.

Which brings us to another law, the Shirky Principle: “Institutions will try to preserve the problem to which they are the solution.” In other words, armed forces, intelligence services and those parts of the foreign policy establishment that have prospered from “fighting terror” will instinctively preserve that threat. They hunt down and kill individual terrorists, of course, but they also keep coming up with new terrorist threats.

Moreover, fighting terrorists does not justify aircraft carriers, armoured divisions, and planes like the F-35. Those branches of the armed forces need the threat of wars in which weapons like those might be at least marginally relevant.

Credible threats of high-inten-

sity warfare are scarce these days, so you have to be creative. There is, for example, a remote possibility that the inexperienced young man who now leads North Korea might be paranoid enough, and the generals who supervise him stupid enough, to attack South Korean forces somewhere. That might lead to a major war in the peninsula.

The probability that this would lead to the use of nuclear weapons in the Korean peninsula is vanishingly small. The likelihood that it could lead to the use of nuclear weapons elsewhere is zero. Yet this confrontation is getting as much coverage in the Western mass media as the Berlin crisis did in 1961 — and the Asian media generally follow suit.

The same is true for the alleged Iranian nuclear threat. Iran is probably not planning to build nuclear weapons, and there is no chance that it would launch a nuclear attack on Israel even if it did build a few. Israel has hundreds of the things, and its response would destroy Iran. Yet the Israelis insist that it might happen anyway because Iranians are crazy — and both Western and Arab media swallow this nonsense.

Fifty years ago, during the Berlin crisis, a single misstep could have led to 10,000 nuclear weapons falling on the world’s cities. Bad things can still happen

when politicians miscalculate, but the scale of the potential damage is minuscule by comparison. Yet our credulous media give these mini-crises the same coverage that they gave to the apocalyptic crises of the Cold War. Hence Dyer’s Corollary to Parkinson’s Law: International confrontations expand to fill the media space available. Little ones will be inflated to fill the hole left by the disappearance of big ones.

The 24-hour news cycle will be fed, and military budgets will stay big. You just have to keep the general public permanently frightened.

That’s easy to do, because people in most countries know very little about the world beyond their immediate neighbours. They’ll believe almost anything the media tell them — and most of the media go along with the official sources because scare stories sell a lot better than headlines about the remarkably peaceful state of the world.

Humbert Wolfe’s judgment almost a century ago still applies everywhere: You cannot hope to bribe or twist (thank God) the British journalist. But given what the man will do unbribed, there’s no occasion to.

Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Deer problem an election issue As I admired my newly built driveway I heard the sound of cloven hooves trotting down the street towards me. I raised my head to be welcomed by the liquid eyes of four bright and bushytailed deer. The three-legged mamma and her three fawns were returning to my garden where they were born last year. They winked and whisked their tails at me as they pranced to the bright lights and Swiss chard which was beginning to rise from its winter dormancy.

They scoffed the chard within minutes.

My legs wobbled and I panicked.

I wilted and I sat down in despair and sobbed. I was angry. One of the reasons I built the driveway was because of the devastation the deer had wreaked. They had destroyed the garden. It made sense to replace the garden with a driveway as the deer had turned what had been my pride and joy into heartache. They had trespassed beyond redemption.

For close to five years now the deer have ravaged people’s gardens in Penticton. What has the city mayor and council done to alleviate the situation? They have procrastinated and obfuscated with such deviousness that surely they could be charged with misrepresentation and mismanagement.

The local mayor has had the brass to enter his name as the Liberal candidate in the upcoming provincial election.

What a joke. If he cannot get a handle on a few deer in his own backyard, how is he going to deal with the wolves and jackals and smart politicians which festoon the hallways of the legislature? He will be road kill. If he is elected, when confronted with a problem he will do what he does best in Penticton. He will look for an expensive lawyer or consultant or turn to his buddies to sit on a committee to deal with the issue. He will become a classic MLA. The mayor has to decide that if he wishes to soar with the eagles in the legislature he cannot afford to graze with the deer in the gardens in Penticton. He needs to illustrate he can solve a problem. His handling of the deer situation is one measure of how comatose he deals with situations.

I am sick and tired of spending hundreds of dollars on my garden only to see it destroyed by the deer. If the mayor and council are going to do nothing about it, the only recourse I have is to send a bill to the city for compensation for the damage. I suggest other people do this also.

The deer problem will be an election issue for the mayor. Gardeners usually turn out to vote. The mayor’s intransigence to the deer problem highlights his ineffectiveness.

I let Poppy, our chatty, sociable, black tortoise shell cat, out early on March 16 when it was still dark. After we had been out and about that morning it was strange that she was not by the back door when we arrived home.

We received a call from a family one street over that they had found a collar with her name and phone number. We retrieved the collar and looked for our cat with no success. Poppy was not a wanderer — she only visited the neighbours on either side of our home — so we came to the sad realization that she had probably been taken by a coyote.

The following week we had a call from Rose, the animal control officer, to say that she had received a call from a resident the previous week who reported the remains of a cat in the alley behind his home. She collected Poppy’s body which was far from where the collar was recovered. Rose was able to track us down using the ear tattoo to locate the vet and thus our phone number. She kindly delivered Poppy’s body to the veterinarian office so we could have her cremated.

Our family would like to thank the family that took the time to call about the collar, the gentleman who reported finding her remains, and Rose for taking the time and making the effort to identify Poppy and contact us. Thanks for giving us closure. We adopted this lovely character many years ago from the local SPCA and will miss her terribly, but we are glad she spent those happy years with us.

This letter is in response to the letter from Roy West on April 17. I was the dispatcher who was working on the day Roy claims to have left $65 worth of alcohol in the back seat of one of our cabs.

When Roy contacted me he told me he had left $25 worth of alcohol on the floor in the back seat of a cab, six beer and a mickey of rum. I immediately contacted all of my drivers and no alcohol was found. Roy described the driver as over six feet tall with greyish hair. I told him I had only one driver close to that description driving a van but Roy insisted it was a car. I gave Roy my manager’s phone number and told him we would try our best to rectify the situation.

Unfortunately when items are left in the back seats, on the floor, quite often one of the next customers will “help themselves”. Even though Roy contacted us within a few minutes, the drivers had already taken other fares. I spoke with Roy no less than three times that day and was present when the manager talked to him on two other occasions.

We have a computerized dispatch system that tracks all fares and could find no record of this trip. When Roy spoke with the manager, somehow the amount increased to $45 worth of alcohol.

Even with this discrepancy and no record of the trip, the manager told Roy we would pay him $45 and that the money was at our office. I placed the money in an envelope and put it away for Roy to pick up. Roy never came to pick up the money and we have heard nothing from him until reading his letter this morning in which he now claims he left $65 worth of alcohol in a cab.

We return dozens of items every month to our customers. Anything found in our cars is brought to the office and placed in the lost and found and every effort is made to contact the owner if at all possible.

RDOS gets wires crossed on upgrade I’ve noticed several media reports recently regarding the RDOS Fire Service radio upgrade and that some of the fire chiefs and directors are unhappy with it.

Osoyoos has even gone so far as to enquire with Surrey Fire Department for a quote on dispatching for Osoyoos and pulling out of the Kelowna system. Whether this is possible remains to be seen, but it’s obvious that they are not satisfied with what is transpiring.

Summerland is also on record as voting against the changes; they will have to share a radio link under the new plan, whereas they have had their own for the past 10 plus years; that’s an upgrade?

I don’t know how the Penticton directors voted but you would think that they would

be against it, as there will be little to no benefits to Penticton, plus we the taxpayers have to pay 42 per cent of that upgrade bill of $1.6 million (that’s the agreed upon formula).

Few people know how much Penticton actually lost in the initial move to Kelowna dispatch, but it was substantial. Several fire and city radio channels were dropped and a host of other important services eliminated or contracted out. Yet we in Penticton still pay the same percentage. Something is very wrong.

I clearly recall the question that Director John Vassilaki asked at the RDOS board meeting in July 2011: “Will the extra services that Penticton supplies be supplied by Kelowna?” The answer given by Dale Kroenebusch was: “Anything omitted

In another article, the RDOS emergency services supervisor “assured the board that Kelowna would provide the same services as Penticton currently does and suggested as an assurance the board should put forward with the contract an expectation of service and benchmarks expected to be met.”

This has never been the case as far as most people are concerned and those responsible for our downgrade should be held accountable. I am reminded of what Howard Beale said in the movie Network: “We’re mad as H*ll and we’re not going to take this anymore!”

Mötley Crüe guitarist not slowing down Kristi Patton

New Patients Welcome

MV DENTAL CENTRE Dr. Maryam Vojdani Inc.

Western News Staff

Hot off an extensive tour of Australia, Mötley Crüe doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.

“We have changed the production up and Canada will be the first to see the new production,” said Mick Mars in a phone interview with the Penticton Western News. “It will be the biggest tour we have done in Canada so we wanted a new production that no one has seen yet. It is a cool thing, I think.”

As for the finer details of the show, Mars wanted to leave those as a surprise to fans who will get their first taste on Saturday night when Mötley Crüe kicks off their 18-date Canadian tour in Penticton at the South Okanagan Events Centre.

There is no mystery, however, that Mars is a guitar legend.

He shed his persona in 1981, dying his hair black and placing a want ad an Los Angeles newspaper describing himself as a “loud, rude and aggressive guitar player.” It caught the eye of Mötley Crüe bassist/ songwriter Nikki Sixx and they decided to form a band. Tommy Lee joined on drums and singer Vince Neil was picked up. It is Mars who is credited with naming the band. Over the years he has tweaked his style to get the strong, crunchy rhythms, hammer-on trills and pitch bending sounds to come up with many of Mötley Crüe’s best known riffs in the highly successful 1989 album Dr. Feelgood.

Often perceived as the reclusive, quiet member of the Crüe, this probably was amplified by a degenerative bone condition called ankylosing spondylitis that he was diagnosed with as a teenager.

“It makes it a little more of an inconvenience than anything. There is some pain, but I don’t care. It bends me forward a little like 39 degrees off axis, that has bothered me the most, and it shrunk me by about five inches,” said Mars. “But, I can’t

Mötley Crüe is kicking off their 18-date Canadian tour in Penticton this Saturday at the South Okanagan Events Centre with special guest Big Wreck.

complain. I can still play, still tour and that is what matters for me.”

With album sales exceeding 80 million records and three decades of decadence, Mars said music has been his therapy.

He said he loves playing guitar more than anything.

“Yes, if I didn’t have this ...

There was a lot of people that said I would be in a wheelchair.

I say no. This is definitely therapeutic for me,” he agreed.

That and the fans who have followed the band through their tumultuous career. Mars, who occasionally is found on Twitter sending out random messages and answering fans @MrMickMars, sees the fans as his boss.

“Yes, if they don’t like something then we want to fix it,” said Mars. “Especially after the shows I go on to see people’s

reactions. I read a lot of stuff on the band about what the fans really think because that is what matters, not some guy that comes in and does a review angry that he didn’t make it in music. I would rather read what the fans think. If the fans say it is a great show that is what the purpose is, to satisfy them, not me.”

The world’s most notorious band will be returning to the world’s most notorious city in the fall. For the second time they are taking up a residency gig at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas from Sept. 18 to Oct. 6. Again, with an all new production designed exclusively for the venue.

Despite his illness, and settling down for the residency in Las Vegas, Mars said he is far from leaving the music scene.

There is something about touring that keeps drawing him in.

While speculation continues about if this will be the last time the band will tour, both Sixx and Neil have spoke publicly about a possible farewell tour in 2014 or 2015, Mars doesn’t seem content to call it a day.

Like most of his bandmates, Mars is working on a number of projects, as well he said they are talking about putting another Crue record together. There are also rumours of making a movie of the band’s autobiography, The Dirt.

“Me personally, I enjoy touring. The bus, the travel, seeing spots I have seen before and places I haven’t seen. I get to see the world and see a lot of people and fans and I get paid for it. It is the best job on the planet for me,” said Mars. “I’m not going away for a long time.”

Mötley Crüe with special guests Big Wreck are playing at the SOEC on Saturday. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. Only very few tickets are left at the side of the stage and available for purchase at the SOEC box office.

quarrelsome but determines to straighten out his life when he finds out his girlfriend is pregnant.

When he sneaks into the maternity hospital to visit his young girlfriend Leonie (Siobhan Reilly) and hold his newborn son Luke for the first time, he is overwhelmed.

He swears that Luke will not lead the same stricken life he has led.

While doing community service Robbie meets Rhino (William Ruane), Albert (Gary Maitland) and Mo (Jasmin Riggins) for whom, like him, work is little more than a distant dream. Little did Robbie imagine that turning to drink might change their lives — not cheap fortified wine, but the best malt whiskies in the world.

On a distillery outing the Highlands, Robbie discovers he has a natural nose for the finest brew and he and his mates soon hatch a scheme to put the “angels share” — the two per cent of every barrel which evaporates over the course of a year — to better use down on earth.

From grubby realism to sprightly fable, this is a rollicking comedy — but like the finest whiskey it’s got a bit of kick.

BIGGEST SALE OF THE YEAR!

Celebrated author hosting writing workshop in the city

Armchair Book Club

Richard Wagamese, currently one of Canada’s most prominent writers, is coming to Penticton. And not just for a short stopover.

Wagamese will be in Penticton next week to give a three-day writing workshop to high school students, and to dazzle the public with an evening storytelling performance.

“I’ve seen Richard give a storytelling performance before, and it’s a magical thing,” said Anne Tenning, the school district’s vice principal of aboriginal education and event organizer.

At the storytelling performance called Our Voices Our Stories, Wagamese will take on the persona of characters from several of his

“Some students are feeling nervous about working with him, and a little nervous about presenting that night.

But I’m sure he’ll help them to build on their own confidence,” Tenning said.

Teachers at the high school were so excited to meet the author of Indian Horse, and promote aboriginal writing, they formed their own book club. Wagamese will be speaking to this crowd of 70 readers at a separate event at Okanagan College.

The public is welcome to attend Wagamese’s storytelling performance, called Our Voices Our Stories, at Princess Margaret High School, Wednesday, April 24 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Doors open at 6 p.m.

Admission is by donation. Wagamese will take the stage for the first hour, followed by student readings.

books.

In the second half of the evening, high school students who participate in his three-day writing workshop will share short selections of their work.

“Several students are really excited about getting to work with Richard,” said Tenning. In all, 20 Grade 11 and 12 students from the three high schools in the district will take part in the workshop.

Students need to be interested in the aboriginal aspect of the workshop, but all are welcome to attend.

Tenning emphasized that this isn’t just for top-mark students.

“Richard has a real gift for working with anyone,” she said. “He really helps writers build upon their own writing and storytelling skills.”

Of course, some students may be a bit star struck.

Wagamese, the author of six novels, a book of poetry and five non-fiction titles, became well-known to Canadians this year when his novel Indian Horse was featured on Canada Reads 2013.

Blue boxes pose problem for recycling company Steve Kidd Western News Staff

Pentictonites can keep using their blue boxes to set out their recycling, at

least for now.

According to BFI, the company contracted to handle waste and recycling pickup in the city, the blue boxes are caus-

ing a high number of injuries to their workers from the extended motion of lifting, emptying and pulling back.

BFI tried to make a

bargain with the City of Penticton, offering an extra yard waste pickup day — worth about $6,050 — in exchange for the city eliminating the blue box-

es in favour of the blue bags or a cart residents can rent from the company. Council, however, chose to send it back to staff to study alternatives.

Blue boxes have been on their way out since 2011, but the city chose to allow their continued use to ease the transition to the blue bags. However, it seems residents are attached to the boxes, with an estimated 65 per cent still using them.

Coun. Helena Konanz said it’s no surprise, given the cost of blue bags.

“Those blue bags are not cheap, it’s not like buying a regular trash bag,” said Konanz, who was also concerned about losing the long-lasting blue boxes.

“The bags themselves are not recyclable, so again we are adding to the landfill,” she continued. “I don’t want people to get hurt in their jobs,

but it seems we are going the wrong way.”

According to Mitch Moroziuk, director of operations, research indicates that an average family spends about $75 a year on bags. BFI does offer its customers the option of getting a recycling cart, a yard waste cart and a garbage cart at a cost of $108 per year for a small to mediumsize family.

But despite the attraction of BFI picking up the tab for one more yard waste collection day in December, the majority of councillors shared similar concerns and also

@pentictonnews

questioned the city’s obligations to BFI in the matter.

“I understand the need for safety in the workplace. However, I don’t understand why that is the obligation of the city to provide a safe workplace for a private corporation’s workers.

We don’t do that for anyone else,” said acting mayor Garry Litke.

He suggested that BFI could offer a bags for boxes exchange to speed up the process.

“It seems to me that if there is a safety issue for BFI employees …

BFI should be paying for that to make sure their workers are safe. I don’t understand why our taxpayer is being expected to pick up the tab,” said Litke.

Children’s festival facing further turmoil The Okanagan International Children’s Festival has ran into yet another roadblock.

Having already postponed this year’s event due to unforeseen key staffing changes, they are now facing a financial crisis.

“We are still remaining positive,” said Vicky Jones, executive director of the festival. “We will be reviewing the situation seriously in a couple of weeks. We are not in debt at the moment and that is what we are trying to avoid.”

The festival has lost its title sponsor, Rotary International, which has left a financial and organizational gap. Taking a hiatus for 2013 meant the funding the festival typically gets is also on pause, that leaves the festival struggling to find funds to pay for bills that will be incurred over the next year while they are in the planning stage for 2014.

“We knew Rotary were cutting down their involvement and probably wouldn’t have been a title sponsor this year, but our understanding was they weren’t going to completely leave the festival,” said Jones, who admitted she hasn’t had an opportunity to speak with Rotary yet. “It might be they thought it was a good opportunity, since the festival isn’t happening this year, to help out other charities. I can’t blame them. They have lots of demands on their time and money as well.

It was just a shock to us because we didn’t think they were going to pull completely out.”

The festival is now searching for a new title sponsor. In the meantime, they are also pleading with the community for support. The festival re-

cently received a donation of $1,000 from Oktoberfest amongst smaller donations from other organizations and residents.

The board of directors is encouraging anyone involved in the festival as a funder, performer, volunteer or audience member to donate.

“Until we secure funding for the 2014 festival, we need the community to step up and show that they support the festival.

If we can convince 200 people to donate $100 each, then we can continue to plan for next year,” said Jones.

The timing is tough for Jones, who was only recently hired as executive director to take over the spot Conrad Burek had resigned from in November. She said right now the focus is just the festival.

“I know this is so much bigger than me.

The festival is very close to the heart of Penticton,” she said.

Throughout its 10year history, the children’s festival has maintained balanced budgets through ticket sales, grants, fundraising events and donor support. There are two grants in place for the 2014 festival, but these funds are not available until September 2013 and April 2014 respectively. Jones said they are hoping to get onto the next City of Penticton council agenda to discuss what is happening.

Right now there are four options before the festival board, according to Jones: they can cancel the festival for good; the board could run the festival itself; it could put the society on hold in goodstanding so it could be picked up later; or put on a smaller festival.

“With the last two options that means we would have to re-look for funding, because our

funders currently give us money based on the existing size of the festival,” said Jones. “If we change PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until April 30, 2013.

ACNE Acne is an inflammation of the skin that causes blackheads, whiteheads, and red spots usually called “pimples” or “zits.” The most common type of acne is acne vulgaris (vulgaris means common). Acne appears most often on the face, but can also be a nuisance on your chest, back, and upper arms. Acne affects about 90% of adolescents as well as 20% to 30% of individuals aged 20 to 40 years. Acne isn’t life-threatening, but it can be upsetting and disfiguring and cause psychosocial problems. Deep acne can also lead to serious and permanent scarring.

Acne develops because your sebaceous glands are overactive. These glands normally produce small amounts of sebum, which is a thick mixture of oil and skin cells. When you have acne, these glands go into overproduction and the extra sebum can block your follicles and bacteria can move in. The hormones that are active during puberty also trigger your sebaceous glands to produce more sebum.

Care for acne includes washing with a mild, non-

abrasive, unscented soap or soap-less cleanser, no more than twice a day. Pat (don’t rub) your skin dry with a clean towel. Try not to pop, squeeze, or pick at pimples as this can actually lead to more pimples and/or scarring. Creams and lotions containing benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or sulphur are widely available without a prescription.

economy and environmental issues seem to take priority.

“That’s why I’m excited to be running for the NDP,” said Sam Hancheroff. “With 80 per cent of the new jobs in B.C. requiring post-secondary education, I’m thrilled with our commitment to skills training and education.”

Hancheroff said the NDP is committed to building opportunities for all British Columbians, and that is how they will build a sustainable economy, create good jobs, attract investment and sustain a strong middle class.

The candidate has lived in the constituency his whole life, growing up in Grand Forks and working for 33 years as a teacher in Okanagan Falls.

“I’ve also been involved in community politics here for the last 30 years. That’s given me a strong knowledge of the issues facing this area in terms of water, agriculture, education and the local economy,” he said.

“I also bring from community politics an ability to work together with

people from a variety of backgrounds to build consensus at the local level.”

Running for the Liberals is Linda Larson, who has taken a leave of absence from her position as an Oliver council member.

She said jobs and job creation without compromising the environment is an important priority for those living in Boundary Similkameen.

“The Liberal party has a lot of very positive job creation programs and skills programs in place.

Creating a stable environment has got to be the most important thing. I don’t want the government to create jobs, I want industry to create jobs, and they aren’t going to do that if they are worried about their taxes constantly. I think the B.C. Liberals have been very upfront … saying we aren’t going to tax you to death, we want you to create jobs.”

Larson said her experience is what she brings to the table for voters. She is a former mayor of Oliver, owned a small business, is a local volunteer and sits on the Commu-

nity Futures board.

“I have invested not only a lot of time and effort into my community, but also to growing my knowledge of the province as well,” said Larson.

Mischa Popoff is running under the B.C. Conservatives banner. The Osoyoos resident feels the two main issues for the riding that tie together are the rate hikes for electricity and the carbon tax, which the B.C. Conservatives promise to get rid of.

“There is a lot of seniors, farmers and families down here who don’t have a lot of extra money, and they are forced to make decisions on where to put their limited resources because of these rate hikes,” said Popoff. “The carbon tax is indirectly responsible for the rate hikes … it is encouraging us to quit burning carbon and move to electric, and then as soon as we do that we get dinged on electric. It is just a vicious circle.”

Popoff said what sets him apart is that he is not a last-minute, back-up plan.

“Both the NDP and Liberals are going with

plan B right now, they both kicked out their leading person. I was always going to stand for this riding as a Conservative,” he said. “I’m not plan B, I am plan A. I was always planning to stand for people’s rights in this riding.”

Oliver resident John Kwansnica is the Green Party candidate for the riding and feels environmental issues are a priority, ranging from the national park to global warming and rising electricity rates.

“Water is another big sticking point in our riding.

We just had another boil water advisory in Oliver and I am concerned about that,” said Kwansnica. “If we don’t have these basic things to count on and draw on, then what do we have? Everything else seems pretty insignificant.”

Kwansnica wants the Green Party to be viewed as more than just a protest vote.

“I would like to see them vote for us because of the platforms on which we stand, which is largely the environment and less emphasis on fossil fuels,” he said.

The workshop includes interaction with successful entrepreneurs and local small business experts to support the attendees in fine tuning their business ideas, including a successful young entrepreneurs panel featuring Victoria Baschzok of Safety Solutions Inc, Chris Boehm of Burger 55 and Diana Stirling of Loco Landing.

The day also includes a Perfect your Sales Pitch workshop with Imre Togyi and Value of Peer Mentoring with Nikos Theodosakis, along with “speed mentoring” with experts in social media, marketing, financial, web making, legal and insurance, human resources, graphic design, customer service and more.

This is a full-day, $20 workshop being held at Cowork Penticton at 125 Eckhardt Ave. E. on Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. More information is available online at www.cfokanagan.com, or contact Blashko at 250-493-2566 ext. 205 if you are interested in attending the event.

“This day is a perfect opportunity to practice your sales pitch and to access over 15 small business experts in one room,” said Jennifer Vincent, co-founder of Cowork Penticton, a shared working environment that offers meeting spaces, work desks and business tools on an as-needed basis.

“When you’re starting or growing a business, it’s so valuable to talk with as many knowledgeable people as possible and the YEAH event is designed to elicit those conversations,” said Vincent. “We are very enthusiastic about hosting this event in our coworking space.”

After the event, attendees are invited to stay on for a social with Cowork Penticton and other community members.

Council sours on proposed highrise development A public hearing held Monday evening may have to be done over, after Penticton council took issue with the absence of the project’s proponents.

The subject of the hearing was a three-year extension to a phased development agreement to build a 23-storey residential and commercial complex at 450 Martin St. The original agreement, signed in 2009, gave the developers five years to embark on the first phase of the development and 10 years to begin the final phase.

“I am quite disappointed that the proponents of this project aren’t here today. They are asking for a final term of 13 years and I would hate to see that big huge hole on Martin Street for 13 years.

To me it is unacceptable,” said Coun. John Vassilaki, who wanted more information about possibly speeding up the project or lowering the maximum height.

“If they were here, at least they would show some interest to what city council is thinking.

It would have been a lot easier for me to make a decision.”

Though the agreement is due to expire in 2014, work has not started on the project after it was discovered in 2010 that the proposed height of the project exceeded Transport Canada’s height zoning regulations for the Penticton airport. Transport Canada is currently reviewing those height requirements, but that review may take three years to complete.

While the developers were not present at the meeting, two opponents of the project were there to speak, con-

cerned about the 23-storey building, which also exceeds the building heights set in Penticton’s official community plan.

“I can certainly appreciate why the developer is seeking the extension.

I believe that rejection of this extension is in the public interest,” said Denis O’Gorman, adding that a project that is more realistic and more scale appropriate and gives more consideration to the pedestrian streetscape should be pursued instead.

David Ure, who owns property across the street from the site, was concerned both about the planned height of the building and the length of time it would take to finish the project.

“It’s been going on long enough, we don’t want an extension that this will go on forever.

What guarantees have we got that this isn’t going to happen again?” asked Ure. “I am sure there is no one here that would want to have construction going on across from their house for years to come.”

Coun. Wes Hopkin was also concerned about the height of buildings, saying that the vision for Penticton’s downtown had changed since the agreement was signed and that he would prefer to see a project more in keeping with the vision developed through the downtown revitalization process.

“In effect by saying no to this amendment, we are saying no to this project,” he pointed out.

With no one to speak for the project, acting mayor Garry Litke suggested that council postpone their decision and invite the proponents to a future council meeting, though that would mean another public hearing on the same topic.

“I am hearing some consternation around

this table about granting this extension,” said

Litke. “I am hearing the council being pretty

grumpy about this right now. It is a fairly signifi-

They will never be confused with the Philadelphia Flyers Legion of Doom line of Eric Lindros, John LeClair and Mikael Renberg.

They are reminiscent of that dominating trio from the 1990s because they battle along the walls, corners and in front of the net.

Every once in a while they even score.

Travis Blanleil, Cam Amantea and Cody DePourcq make up what the Penticton Vees call the Trench Line.

They were the Vees’ best unit during a 3-2 win over the Surrey Eagles Tuesday night. In the second period of Game 4, the trio generated the Vees best scoring chances.

The Trench Line’s play late in the second led to a jumpstart for the Vees early in the third period when Wade Murphy scored 58 seconds in.

“After the second period, Fred came in and kind of sent a message to the team, certain individuals,” said Vees captain Troy Stecher. “He didn’t point them out … and said you have to pick it up. He kind of used Porky’s (a.k.a DePourcq) line as an example. They are not getting enough credit. It’s the best line in the BCHL. They do all the little things. The fans love them.

“They work so hard and don’t get enough credit because they don’t put big numbers up,” continued Stecher of the trio that has combined for three goals and nine points in 34 playoff games. “At the same time, they are the ones drawing penalties. They put our pointgetters on the

power play.”

Stecher added that they wouldn’t have the same success without them.

In 13 playoff games, Blanleil and DePourq have six and three points respectively. Two of DePourcq’s points are goals, including the Game 3 winner against the Eagles. Amantea has no points in eight games but makes an impact not seen on the scoresheet.

When it comes to following the instructions of the coaching staff, the trio always sticks to the plan and Vees coach-GM Fred Harbinson said they have been awesome all year.

Eagles coach Matt Erhart said they have been good all series.

“Everybody talks a lot about their other players, but that might be their best line in this series,” he said. “They create a lot of energy down low. We have some big defencemen back there and it’s hard to contain with some of those guys. Full marks to them, they work hard. They deserve all the chances they get.”

Blanleil, listed by the BCHL website as being 5-foot-8, 155 pounds, said he and his line mates played well Tuesday night and has liked their play in the series.

“We cycled the puck down low. Got some chances out of it,” said Blanleil, who joined the Vees in a trade from his hometown West Kelowna Warriors last summer. “We were hitting bodies and wearing them down. I think we were just working hard. Getting pucks deep. Just outworking their defencemen. We were getting rewarded for it.”

Young Tigers eager to play Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

The South Okanagan Minor Baseball Association Tigers are going through a youth movement, but the coach sees it as a good thing.

“The team did get younger this year, but that doesn’t mean we got less talented,” said Junior Deleon. “Our younger boys moving up had some success last season playing bantam AA and look to come up with some momentum.”

Deleon sees the new additions pushing players from last year for starting roles. That motivation will create healthy competition making practices more intense. Among the players the Tigers lost last season were Cole Depner, now playing for the University of Toronto, which won a league championship last season. Nick Bravi is playing with the Okotoks Dawgs, while the Tigers also lost some first year and Kelowna players.

“I have six rookies this year and they are eager to play,” said Deleon.

The goal this season hasn’t changed from any other year. The Tigers want to qualify for provincials and with what Deleon has seen in practice, he believes his group will be a force mid to late season.

“I want to push this group of kids to make them
