too.”

In the past month alone there have been six such accidents near Penticton, which according ICBC statistics, has been the entire number of crashes during each of the last four years in the city.

The most recent accident was Wednesday’s collision between a car and motorcycle on Main Street, the fourth in a seven-day period.

“We’re all just shaking our heads at why there has been so many in such a short period of time, it’s just hard to determine why,” Manchulenko said while at the scene of that accident. “In this case it was a motorcycle going northbound on Main Street and a southbound passenger car making a left turn and she thought the road was clear and things went bad from there. The rider went down with leg injuries and was taken by ambulance to PRH (Penticton Regional Hospital).”

In three of the last four crashes the drivers of the vehicles were at fault, turning into the path of the motorcycles, and the other involved a deer, which was hit while crossing the road.

The other two accidents this year were in May, one of those being a fatality which happened on Eastside Road and also resulted in serious injuries to the passenger.

Particularly worrisome to officials is the stats show May-June is generally the slower time, only one or two crashes, with the peak being in July and August with about four.

Not all motorcycle accidents are the fault of the “other” driver.

In fact, Manchulenko believes it is more likely a 50-50 split. It is just that there are few motorcycle crashes where there are not injuries.

“With the safety features of the

For emergency responders the “vehicle-versus-motorcycle” call from 911 dispatchers usually means preparing for the worst.

“We go to it (motorcycle accident) as we would go to anything else, but in the back of your mind you’re sort of getting yourself ready for a situation that’s going to be a little more serious than normal,” said RCMP traffic officer Cpl. Ted Manchulenko. “It’s harder for people to see. I mean two vehicles hit and a fender gets torn off and it’s not a big deal to see, but when it’s a person lying on the road it’s a whole different dynamic, it affects everybody a little differently and that’s consistent for the emergency services (personnel)

newer vehicles in an urban environment when two vehicles hit the chances are pretty good everybody is going to walk away with minor injuries, but in a similar situation with a motorcyclist, or cyclist for that matter, even though the speeds aren’t that great, somebody is going to hit the pavement pretty hard.”

Those problems are compounded if the rider is going at excessive speeds or driving in an unsafe man-

ner. According to ICBC, motorcyclists have an eight times greater chance of dying and are 40 per cent more likely to be injured in an accident.

Manchulenko urged everyone using the streets to be aware of what is happening around them because the consequences of one mistake can last a lifetime.

“Slow down a little bit, take your time,” he said. “I think one of the problems is, especially now,

our roads are so multi-use. Just look at Eckhardt and Highway 97.

You have children crossing on their way to school, there are logging trucks, cyclists, people on scooters or mobility chairs and everyone is just trying to get safely to their destination.”

In the case of a fatality, the officer added even though it may be one person who dies, the impact is community-wide, from friends and family to first responders.

South Okanagan MLAs now sworn in Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

With a few strokes of a pen Tuesday, Linda Larson and Dan Ashton were officially sworn in as MLAs for, respectively, the BoundarySimilkameen and Penticton ridings.

For Ashton, that official recognition of the results of the May 14 election was the cue for him to step down as both mayor of Penticton and chair of the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen.

“Yesterday, in the morning I was handed a certificate that says I am an MLA and underneath it was the certification of the votes that took place on June 5,” said Ashton, who delivered his resignations to Penticton city manager Annette Antoniak and RDOS chief administrator officer Bill Newell.

The RDOS board will be holding an internal election on July 4 to replace Ashton as chair, a position he has held for more than a decade.

Currently, Mark Pendergraft, director for rural Osoyoos

serves as acting chairperson.

As of press time, no date has been set for a byelection to replace Ashton as mayor, though acting mayor Garry Litke has said council has a couple of dates in mind for a fall byelection, partly driven by the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities conference on Sept. 16. Litke said that they want to have a strong mayor and council in place at the UBCM conference to lobby Ashton and other elected officials about promises made for expanding Penticton Regional Hospital.

Boundary Similkameen MLA Linda Larson, who was also sworn in on Tuesday, said she will be resigning for her position as an Oliver councillor in mid-August.

The council has 80 days following the resignation to arrange a byelection, though she expects that will happen sometime in September.

Larson said it was a special moment sitting on the floor of the legislature and being sworn in, rather than watching from the gallery.

“It has such a lot of his-

tory that you can’t help but be a little in awe of that,” said Larson. Along with Ashton, who was appointed to the Treasury Board and made

parliamentary secretary to the minister responsible for core review, Larson also received significant appointments.

Larson was appointed par-

liamentary secretary to the minister of health for seniors, as well as being named the deputy party whip.

“I think the whip one is

because I am very good at telling people what to do,” joked Larson. “I don’t usually hold back when it comes to certain things.”

Oliver Park Place residents get vacate notice Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

It is not unusual for residents of Oliver’s Park Place to hear strange sounds and sights these days.

After 24 years of standing as a “beautiful” building, resident Stuart Syme said it has become haunted due to structural damage from an earthquake.

“Things started to add up, our maintenance records began to spike with failing window seals, swinging doors, doors that wouldn’t close, drywall cracks in some of the suites, nail pops out of the drywall. Prior to that it was 24 years of no problems,” said Syme, who is the secretary of the self-managed strata council. “It turns out we are 100 feet from a fault line.

We didn’t know that, and that 4.6 magnitude earthquake in the morning of Nov. 18, 2011, destabilized this building. As an ongoing basis the water levels are quite high right now and our storm water outfall goes to the river and is below the level of the river. I’m sure that happens every year, but this year because the building is unstable and last year as well probably, that destabilization caused by the earthquake has allowed the groundwater to move the building.”

The residents that live in the 43 units are facing uncertainty as they have been given notice it is not safe to live in and an order to vacate hangs over their heads.

“We are telling people that they should plan on being out for two years,” said Syme, adding that is if the insurance company intends to repair the building.

The residents now live amongst a pseudo-construction zone with exposed beams and orange spray paint reminding them of the cracks and dangers that have put them in this

situation. Many of the residents are widows, said Syme, the oldest being 98 years old.

“It was particularly distressing over the weekend because we got the letter on Thursday and had to wait to have everyone there for a town hall-type meeting. I think many were in disbelief and in a denial phase up until the meeting, thinking, ‘I’m not really going to have to move’ or ‘I am not really going to have to take all my belongings out of here.’ All of that is gone, people are in the ‘what am I going to do now mode, what is my next step?’”

Syme said there is real concern about the lack of rental accommodations in Oliver. The first floor of Park Place must be off the premises by Aug. 15. The second and third floors have to be out by the beginning of September, unless something untoward happens then it could be sooner.

“It is really difficult here and we are mixture of 65 to 75-year-old couples and 80 to 95-year-old widows. Some of the widows living alone now moved in here 25 years ago and it is extremely difficult for them because they are on fixed incomes. This building is their life because the location is ex-

cellent, the community is wonderful within the building and the town, they have their routines and comfort and all of a sudden you rip that from under them. What do you do if you are one of these people?” said Syme.

The strata council has started to make evacuation plans and are trying to gather as much information as they can about possible rentals and storage spaces for the residents.

Some are considering moving into Heritage House, an assisted living residence. Syme said while Park Place came across the structural damage during what was supposed to be just an envelope inspection ordered by strata council maintenance committee, he wonders if other buildings in the area have the same issues.

“I bet you there is others, but they just don’t know yet.

There are other similar strata buildings in the vicinity,” he said.

Bob Ellis is a resident of Park Place who has devoted his life to filling containers with clothing and other things to places like Moldova through a program called For the Least of These with his church. Despite facing the same uncertainty as his neighbours, Ellis is now looking to help those right within his community.

“Not everyone is in the position to afford everything and many will be in a position of still having to pay for their mortgage even though they can’t live here. I think there is a number of people in the community and within the (churches) of Oliver who would be willing to help with basic stuff like offering hands to help move. It may be simple things but anything people can do is helpful,” said Ellis. “People living here have a really good spirit and that is what we are holding on to.”

A year after eliminating the sole staff position responsible for sexual education, the school board is still taking heat for its decision.

Trustees of the Okanagan Skaha School District have received three letters since April from parents and social service groups concerned about how Family Life programming is being delivered to students in Grades 6 to 10.

One of the letters, from an unidentified group of parents of Penticton Secondary School students, noted its disappointment with the “disjointed” delivery this year of the program, at least part of which was taught by a third-party contractor.

The parents questioned the contractor’s qualifications to deliver such important material, and urged reinstatement of a Family Life teacher “even in these very difficult financial times.”

Last spring, the school board eliminated the po-

sition, which would have been made vacant by a retirement, to help offset a budget deficit. This year, rather than having a single Family Life teacher deliver the material at all schools in the district, the responsibility was left to principals.

At the school board’s regular meeting Monday, Trustee Linda Beaven asked staff to compile a summary from each principal explaining how government-prescribed learning outcomes were met this year.

“Because it’s so varied, it might be kind of interesting to see how

different schools handle the situation,” Beaven said.

That report isn’t expected back until at least the school board’s next scheduled meeting in September. Superintendent Wendy Hyer said “different schools use a different service delivery model depending on whose on staff,” but was unsure how many schools had contracted out Family Life lessons this year.

“I wouldn’t even say they’re contracting it out,” she added.

“I’d say I’d have to look into it a little more

before I made a comment.”

Trustee Ginny Manning, who chairs the school board, said she’ll await the Family Life report in the fall before discussing the possibility of reinstating the position.

“At this point, I really couldn’t comment,” she said.

Both the South Okanagan Victim Assistance Society and the South Okanagan-Similkameen Violence in Relationships Committee have also written to the school board in recent months about the changes in the Family Life delivery model. Manning is not surprised concerns have lingered.

“This is a sensitive issue, and I think any time you change the way things are done, people are more interested and people want to know it’s being done in a way that’s beneficial,” she said.

Eyesore starting to annoy resident Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

It was an emotional public hearing just over a month ago that saw many residents of a Penticton neighbourhood turn out to oppose a duplex planned for the area.

Residents living around 711 Creekside Rd. cited concerns that the new duplex would add too many vehicles to an already busy, narrow street. What they didn’t expect was to be left with an eyesore soon after.

Lydia Tymchuk, one of the protesters and next door neighbour to the property, said that it didn’t take the developers long after council granted the variances they needed to begin work on the property.

However, they did so without first getting a demolition permit.

“The council meeting was Monday (May 6). Thursday one of the people spoke to me and said they were going to clean up the place a bit,” said Tymchuk. But when she arrived home from work on May 10, it was to discover that the garage had been levelled, the siding stripped from the existing single-family house and a backyard tree on the fence line cut down.

“To say it is unattractive is putting it mildly.

The tarpaper blows off in the wind. It looks horrible,” said Tymchuk.

“To me, cleaning up the place a bit does not seem to be what happened here. To leave a place looking like this, I think

Lydia TyMchuk looks over her notes near the property (background) on creekside Road she would like to see cleaned up. Work to prepare the land for the proposed construction of a duplex was stopped because the proper permits were not in place, leaving it in its current state.

it’s embarrassing.”

A month later, the lot is in the same condition. Work ceased when the City of Penticton issued a stop work order on May 10, and nothing has been done to clean the lot up, according to Tymchuk. She’s concerned now that the developers aren’t planning to get back to work until late in the summer.

“Is this what I am going to be looking at for months now?” asked Tymchuk. “Why would you get to this point and have no plans of going any further? The tarpaper literally does blow off in the wind.”

Building and permitting manager Ken Kunka said the city hasn’t received an application for a demolition permit for

the property, suggesting that the delay might be due to the developers arranging for a hazardous material assessment, to check for asbestos and other dangerous construction materials. That would be a necessary step, he said, before the city could issue a permit to tear down the house.

He also agreed that demolition work shouldn’t have started, and that the property had been left in a less than desirable state.

“I’ve seen worse, but I can understand why the neighbour would be upset,” said Kunka, noting that the city hadn’t yet received a formal complaint from any of

the neighbours.

He did say, however, that the city could start encouraging the developers to take care of the property, which, if left long enough in this state, it would start sliding into the vacant building section of the Good Neighbour bylaw introduced last year. For her part, Tymchuk would like to see the property cleaned up properly.

“I really don’t see how anyone else could get away with leaving this. I would like to see them clean up their mess and follow the laws like anything else,” she said.

The developer could not be reached for comment.

Did you know that in nearly half of Canadian households, the primary wage earner reported that if he or she died, surviving family members would have immediate trouble meeting everyday living expenses or be unable to cover expenses beyond only a few months? The survey results reflect how millions of Canadians are either uninsured or underinsured, and are overlooking an important aspect of their overall financial situation.

Think about what would happen if you unexpectedly passed away today. Who would pay for your funeral and your family’s monthly bills? Who would pay your monthly mortgage payment and other outstanding debts? How would your children’s future education be funded? And would your family be able to compensate for your lost paycheque, which would be gone forever?

It all points to the importance of insurance, which can provide money in a timely manner to offset lost earnings to your household or business in the event of death or disability. Quite simply, without adequate insurance

coverage, your loved ones could face catastrophic consequences.

You could approach insurance in a way that you might look at investments.

Diversification is a timeproven strategy for many successful investors, whereby they make sure they have representation from different asset classes for their investments. In a similar way, you’ll want a carefully constructed insurance portfolio that contains different types to address different possibilities and to match your particular needs.

For example, you’ll likely want to have permanent life insurance solutions to meet requirements that exist no matter what age you pass away, such as funeral and burial costs, medical or emergency costs, and taxes on registered assets and

capital gains.

Term insurance solutions might be best used to meet any particular temporary needs you could have, such as clearing your mortgage or replacing your income until your children are old enough to be self-sufficient.

You also need to ask yourself about how you can protect your family if you’re unable to work because of disability or illness.

According to the Society of Actuaries, a 40-year-old in Canada has a 35-percent chance of suffering a long-term disability lasting 90 days or longer, making disability and critical illness very important.

These are just a few of the many insurance-related questions you should consider in making sure you have an appropriate insurance portfolio that’s right for you. Insurance is one of those core elements that should not be neglected. Make sure you have a detailed discussion with your financial advisor about your insurance needs and the different options that are available to you.

EDITORIAL

Energy costs a rising problem When the big boys discuss national and international energy policy, the role of municipalities is often left out of the discussions.

They are, however, one of the biggest stakeholders, working at the level of the end users: commercial, public sector, businesses and homeowners. Rising public sector energy costs and community energy security questions — as well as local economic and environmental concerns related to energy use, production and transportation — mean that municipalities have important interests in Canadian energy policy.

And energy poverty — when households spend over 10 per cent of income on energy costs — is a direct problem for a growing number of Canadians. Penticton has its own energy policy, purchasing electricity wholesale and reselling to the community, with the profits helping to pay for capital projects in the city.

The city is also considering a run-of-river hydro project on Penticton or Ellis Creek. The possibilities under discussion would generate a relatively small amount of power, but are an important, if symbolic, step to the city lessening its dependence on outside sources. According to World Bank figures, Canada is a world leader, with almost 24 per cent of our energy coming from alternative energy sources, including hydro, nuclear, geothermal, and solar power, among others. That pales in comparison to goals of countries like Germany, 80 per cent renewable-based energy system by 2050, which includes municipal renewable and district energy projects as a major component.

An overarching strategy to encourage coopPENTICTON WESTERN eration toward common goals, such as climate change mitigation, energy security, environmental sustainability and a more diversified economy will benefit all Canadians. It will be stronger if Canada’s municipal governments, which have such important stakes and expertise to contribute, are part of the process.

Mandela’s legacy will live on As I write this Nelson Mandela is still with us. He may even still be living at the end of this year. But this is his fourth hospitalisation in six months, and the prognosis for 94-yearold men with persistent lung infections is not good. How will South Africa do without him?

Wrong question, actually. In practice, South Africa has been doing without him for more than a decade already – but psychologically, it is just now getting to grips with the reality that he will soon be gone entirely.

For all its many faults and failures, post-apartheid South Africa is a miracle that few expected to happen. Although Mandela retired from the presidency in 1999, fourteen years later he is still seen as the man who made the magic work, and somehow the guarantor that it will go on working. If only in some vague and formless way, a great many people fear that his death will remove that safety net.

Just in the past two weeks, however, the tone of the discussion has begun to change. On hearing that Nelson Mandela had been admitted to hospital yet again, Andrew Mlangeni, one of his dearest friends and once a fellow-prisoner on Robben Island, said simply: “It’s time to let him go. The family

Gwynne Dyer

Dyer Straits

must release him, so that God may have his own way with him ... once the family releases him, the people of South Africa will follow.”

That one comment opened the floodgates, for it had a strong resonance in traditional African culture, which holds that a very sick person cannot die until his family “releases” him. They have to give him “permission” to die, by reassuring him that his loved ones will be fine when he’s gone.

So South Africans must now accept that they can get along without Nelson Mandela, and then he will be free to go.

It’s not that everybody really believes in this tradition, but it frames the conversation in a more positive and less distressing way. People can argue about whether or not South Africa is doing as well as it should,

but they can at least agree that Mandela got the country safely through the most dangerous phase of the transition, and that they can carry on with the job of building a just and democratic society without him.

Except for President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, of course. Mugabe has always deeply resented the fact that Nelson Mandela is revered as the father of his nation while he himself is seen as a vicious tyrant who has ruined his country.

So he seized the opportunity of a recent high-profile interview on South African television to accuse Mandela of having failed in his duty to South Africa’s black majority: he had been too soft on the whites.

“Mandela has gone a bit too far in doing good to the nonblack communities, really in some cases at the expense of blacks,” the Zimbabwean dictator said. “That’s being too saintly, too good, too much of a saint.”

Nonsense. What Nelson Mandela and his white negotiating partner, F.W. De Klerk, were trying to avoid in the early 1990s was a South African civil war that would have killed millions and lasted for a very long time. The 20 percent white minority were heavily armed, and they had nowhere else to

go. Their families, for the most part, had been in South Africa for at least a century.

Therefore, a settlement that gave South Africa a peaceful (and hopefully prosperous) democratic future had to be one in which the whites still had a future. So you either make the kind of deal that Mandela and De Klerk made, in which nobody loses too much, or you submit to a future that would make the current civil war in Syria look like a tea party.

By the way, Mugabe was making his remarks in a country whose economy has been so devastated by his “tougher” approach that fully one-quarter of the population has fled abroad in search of work, mostly to South Africa.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu, talking about Mandela’s inevitable death, said last week: “The best memorial to Nelson Mandela would be a democracy that was really up and running: a democracy in which every single person in South Africa knew that they mattered.” That is still some distance away, but Mandela has laid the foundations. He was the right man for the job: a saint who also understood realpolitik.

letters New parking law justifies changes to city slogan People need to understand that voting for a business-minded government on any level will only benefit one sector, business. Only once people start voting for a more social-minded government, things will change.

Last election was run by people taking pride in being business minded and now we have a private company that runs our hospital parking lot, initially financed by “we the people,” that is making most of the profit, not the hospital itself. Now, our “business-minded“ council

has chosen to make ridiculous changes to our parking laws which will benefit only one sector again, privately run parking lots.

Must have been very painful for them to see all those people park on the streets for free when they could be forced to purchase a parking pass?

At the same time this new law will ruin small shops and hurt their workers for the sake of more profit. But, with a new Walmart opening, maybe the hidden agenda is to drive the shoppers there, where they can still park for

Science disregarded

Why would a modern, well educated person in an important position not wish to hear from prominent scientists whose job it was to pass pertinent information to the VIP? Strange, but that is what has happened in Ottawa as Prime Minister rids himself (and his country) of environmental, fishery, water, health and other scientists.

Important boards and facilities have been closed or downsized. Federal legislation easing restrictions were included in the “budget.”

Even the long census form was too much. There is now no firm statistical base for special, necessary information.

Canada is teetering on the edge of huge proposals for the modification and transport of oil and gas products. The impact on inland ecology and water and the uncertainty of coastal shipping could be disastrous.

Surely they need to check most carefully with the best information possible before embarking on any massive endeavours. There are undeniable risks; are they worth taking?

Stephen Harper must pay immediate attention to his policy of anti-scientific study by people working on behalf of Canada, not industry.

Further, the Harper government must show sensible leadership concerning the present

free? How many tourists will return to Penticton after not finding a place to park or being served ticket after ticket?

At least all downtown workers should be provided with a free parking pass. I’m also not to keen on my wife needing to walk 15 minutes in the dark to the closest parking lot from where she works. A two-hour time limit will force people to move their vehicles only to have someone else take their spot. Who will be back at work then?

This new law will cause total chaos as

fiasco concerning the building of coastal vessels.

The ships are needed now for this country with the longest coastline. The costs and delays so far stagger the imagination; $200 million for blue prints? Unbelievable.

Once a year visits to the arctic does not protect Canada’s interests.

The need is urgent. Stop the fumbling and bumbling and get on with the job of protecting all Canada’s shores. Patrol vessels and new search and rescue helicopters are urgently required.

Please write/contact Dan Albas with your concerns re: scientific work and coastal protection.

Contact Prime Minister Harper also.

Clark takes the cup

I just don’t get it — can the readers help me to understand?

Liberal Premier Christy Clark loses her seat when constituent voters’ dumped her in favour of NDP candidate David Elby. Am I right so-far?

Now we hear that the loser is starting to put a stamp on her new government by re-appointing some old faces.

So when is the changing of the guard coming that would breathe some fresh air into the game of second chance B.C. politics? T he Vancouver Canucks lost in the first round of the NHL playoffs, something the Canuck fans could not believe.

Well believe it or not, they really didn’t lose?

Just like smiling loser Christy Clark they should be awarded the Stanley Cup by simply requesting the teams in the running give it up. Skating on thin ice should be a problem for rejected Christy but a shoe in for the Canucks.

there are not even enough parking facilities to allow for all the people that are now parking on the streets.

Less money in people’s pockets means less money for them to spend and less money for businesses to make. Why is this simple logic so hard to understand? All that, by an acting mayor that was not even elected?

Before you take away our parking spaces give us an alternative for we don’t have LRTs or a 10-minute bus service like the bigger metropolises you like to compare us to. Our logo will soon

to “Penticton, a place to stay, never.“

For the first time in over a decade, horse racing returns to Osoyoos this weekend at the Desert Park Exhibition grounds.

Society president Carol Youngberg said the facility and track is in great shape for Saturday, the first of two race dates approved by the B.C. Horse Racing Association.

The second race day will be on Aug. 31.

“We are a go. We have seven races, food, a beer garden and some great entertainment. We want to get everyone pumped up for the races so we will have music and provide a great atmosphere,” said Youngberg.

Providing live music over the course of the event are Mickie Spillet, Cindy Doucette and Diane Ball.

Youngberg said there will be a concession and a number of other food vendors on site. She cautioned there is no ATM on site and everything at the facility only accepts cash.

Purses for the races vary from $3,000 to $5,000 and there is paramutual betting, triactors and the Daily Double on the first two races on the card.

The feature event is a quarterhorse race for $15,000.

For two years the South Interior Recreational Equestrian Centre tried to get the 40-acre facility running for a variety of uses. In 2011, SIREC and the Town of Osoyoos ended negotiations after council decided they could not lease the facility to a for-profit corporation. The Desert Park Exhibtion Society was then created as a notfor-profit and signed a fiveyear contract with the town.

Since that was completed the society has been working to get the facility back into shape. Amongst the upgrades to the facility were new fence posts, entrance gates, horse stall upgrades and portable bleachers.

Youngberg said volunteers and the society have done a great job to bring the facility back to life and they are still looking for people who want to help on race day. Anyone wanting to volunteer can contact her at 250-485-2238.

Gates open at 2 p.m. and there is no admission fee.

Parking is $5 and another $5 if you want a program. A shuttle service will be running at the facility starting at 6 p.m.

Brewers and bands make beautiful music together Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

Singing the praises of a fine craft beer while celebrating Canadian bands, CBC has teamed up with a local brewer.

Cannery Brewing Co. in Penticton is part of a project that started on social media with a tweet #CDNbandbeer from CBC Radio 3 host, Grant Lawrence. The hashtag trended on Twitter and inspired a flood of replies from people submitting beer names based on the names of great Canadian musical acts. Amongst names people responded with were Nickelbock, Barley Rae Jepsen, the Pursuit of Hoppiness, Brew Rodeo and more.

“Everyone was obviously so enthused with this idea of creating beer names out of these band names. Beer being a little bit edgy and these bands being edgy it seemed like a good partnership,” said Patt Dyck, co-owner of Cannery Brewing Co. Jeremy Sibley, from Old Yale Brewing in Chilliwack, got involved and said they would make the beers. He decided to bring on three other B.C. brewers and they started brainstorming styles. The Cannery produced a maibock, giving a nod to Vancouver rock ‘n’ roll band Pink Mountaintops, calling it Pink Mountainhops. Created with classic German malts and noble hops, it is described as a maltforward beer with a surprising hop complexity.

“It’s got all the characteristics of a lager with that nice crisp finish but all that lean up and down flavour profile. With it is a little more malt to give it more stuff in the middle and these wonderful hops to make it very full-bodied lager,” said Dyck.

Other beer bands that have hit shelves in B.C. include Old Yale Brewing Company who pay homage to the legendary Vancouver punk band D.O.A. They created a classic brown ale called D.O.Ale. R&B Brewing Company out of Vancouver created the You Say Barley! We Say Rye! dark rye IPA, after the new-wave punk band You Say Party! We Say Die! (now know as You Say Party!).

called Said The Ale, named after Vancouver indie-rock band Said the Whale.

“It made for some really amazing challenges, with four busy independent breweries and working with two major corporations in the CBC and the LDB. It was also an awful lot of fun altogether and has been a great thing to do,” said Dyck.

The project generated lots of buzz on social media for its first time around. Dyck said she hopes they continue with another release of beer bands and expand the program across the country. She said people have been calling from Al-

berta interested in how they can get their hands on the product.

“I’m sure they have been under a fair bit of pressure from other bands wanting to be involved.

Our phone has been ringing off the hook from people wanting to know how to get on the list,” said Dyck. “I think this is just great for the consumers to be able to have four different beers just out of nowhere. It is also certainly great exposure for the bands.”

The beers are a limited release and sold separately in 650 ml bottles until the middle of July. They can be found at private B.C. liquor stores.

Margaritaville blends fun into fundraiser Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

The third annual Margaritaville Fundraiser takes place on June 21 at the Best Damn Sports Bar with proceeds to support the Penticton Regional Hospital pediatric ward.

The downtown sports bar will turn into a beach house for the event, which is sponsored by Coldwell Banker Okanagan Realty.

“The first two years we chose to donate to the Children’s Hospital in Vancouver because my nephew ended up

down there, so we did a fundraiser in honour of him. The first year we raised $12,000 and last year just over $18,000.

Then this year we started about keeping it local and Coldwell was looking for a signature event,” said realtor Brian Cutler.

The South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation is working on raising funds to purchase an infant/child heart monitor and Cutler decided to focus on that project for the popular Margaritaville fundraiser.

“Providing funds for

the pediatric/nursery department will service patients and their families all over the region and make a huge difference to the quality of life for their family and friends,” said Janice Perrino, director of development for the South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation.

The SOS Medical Foundation has provided more than $30 million in funding grants to Penticton Regional Hospital since 1981.

Tickets to the third annual Margaritaville are $25, which gets you a cheeseburger in paradise, margarita or Corona, rum cake for dessert and an entry to win door prizes such as a $1,000 barbecue donated by Home Hardware. Live music will be provided by local band the Rum Runners and Herb Dixon will be emceeing the event. Cutler said they are accepting donations and there will also be a 50-50 draw, live and silent auction with a lot of great items up for grabs.

Tickets can be purchased at Best Damn Sports Bar or Coldwell Banker.

“The roses are always a highlight because they are displayed individually,” said Theresa Kondor, the festival co-ordinator. “We have little vials that we put the individual stems in, so you will see a series of pink roses, or yellow roses. It’s quite a nice display.”

Kondor explains that exhibitors don’t need to be able to precisely name the variety of rose as in larger shows.

Crusher’s legend will live on Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Kevin Crusher Conway just loved life.

“He just welcomed everybody,” said Noreen Conway of her father, a member of the 1955 world champion Penticton V’s, who died on May 8 at age 83. “Always invited people over for dinner.”

Conway’s specialty was barbecued roasts.

Noreen’s friends would ask about her father, then the question of his barbecue roasts came up.

He was grateful for everything and family was important to him because his mother died when he was young. Conway ended up being separated from his siblings and lived with his aunt. As his daughter said, Conway never forgot about the family bond.

Noreen, one of four children Conway and wife Deena have, said the biggest thing was that their dad always welcomed their friends.

“Mom and dad’s home was where we could hang,” she said.

They rented a house on Lakeshore Drive and the kids played on the tennis court, played volleyball, listened to music and made ice rinks on the tennis court. He celebrated St. Patrick’s Day, something he cherished and had big barbecues.

What Noreen will miss is his sense of humour and positive outlook.

“He always said the Canucks will never win a Stanley Cup with the Sedin brothers on their team,” she laughed. “The night before he died, was the night the Canucks got beat out. I told him they lost. His last words were they were never going to win anyway because of the Sedins. He hated the Sedins.”

Prior to joining the V’s, Conway played for the Montreal Junior Canadiens, who he won the 1949 Memorial Cup with. According to Noreen, after her father won the world championship, he

was the only person to have won a Memorial Cup, Allan Cup and world championship.

Conway earned the nickname Crusher in 1950 following a game against Halifax’s St. Mary’s team with the Charlottetown Islanders.

Conway fought (Peanuts) McLaughlin. Because of this fight, and the Islanders win, a young CBC radio announcer named Danny Gallivan went to the dressing room to interview the player who fought Peanuts. When Danny asked to speak to Kevin Conway, all his teammates shouted out: “His name’s not Kevin, it’s The Crusher.” Gallivan then referred to Kevin on air as Crusher from that day forward.

Conway moved to Penticton to play for the V’s and met his wife during a coffee outing with his other teammates.

Conway asked if she was interested in going to a movie, but Deena apologized, saying she had night classes. It was in the winter so Conway offered to pick her up.

“Needless to say, that night class didn’t last that long,” said Deena, laughing.

They dated for three years. Deena recalls the first time seeing her husband during a V’s game, and it was during the player announcements.

“I turned to my dad and said that little shortass thing is going to save our hockey team?” said Deena, adding that her father got upset with her.

Conway’s teammate Ivan McLelland recalls his favourite memory of the defenceman.

“I think his finest moment, which would have affected me, was in the 102nd hockey game of 1954 against Sudbury for the national championship,” said McLelland. “Kevin had played a lot of hockey. The last five minutes of that game, was probably his finest. He didn’t go off the ice. Wouldn’t go off actually. Blocked shots and hung in there with me. They were all over us and had us on our last legs.”

McLelland said Conway loved to reminisce about the old days. The two would go for drives in Penticton and enjoy a coffee parked along Lakeshore Drive while talking about the world championship.

“He would say, “You know, you got a lot of credit for that, but you didn’t really deserve it. It was me that did it,” laughed McLelland.

The goalie would fire back saying he played every minute of the 102 games while Conway took breaks.

“He loves to laugh about it,” joked McLelland, who admired Conway’s larger-than-life personality. “We didn’t always agree. He was very outgoing.”

McLelland described Conway as a tough, hard-nosed stay-at-home player.

“He wasn’t a particularly good skater. He made up for that in other ways,” said McLelland, who is sad and relieved by his friends death.

“Very, very dedicated. Just the kind of player that every team wants to have.”

While Conway was known for his hockey accomplishments, he was also a successful busi-

nessman.

He operated a Chevron on the corner of Carmi and Main and opened the first self-serve gas stations. He also owned Dairy Queen.

While only having a Grade 9 education, Deena said her husband was taught a strong work ethic by his uncle, especially how to behave. Noreen describes it as having an old-fashioned work ethic.

“He was a very strong working man,” said Noreen. “No-nonsense kind of guy. A lot of fun.

Gave praise where praise was needed.”

Noreen said Conway was known by people for the Dairy Queen he owned and shared a story of him trying to learn to curl the tip of an ice cream cone.

“You could not open your shop until you mastered that,” said Noreen. “He just couldn’t get the hang of it. This little kid comes up to the window you slide things through, and is tapping his coin at the wicket. ‘Mister, I’d like a cone. He is just sweating bullets trying to get this cone made. Fi-

nally he did it. He went over to the window and the little boy slid the money over and dad slipped the coin back. He told the kid this is for you. He never forgot that little boy’s face. Never forgot the pressure he faced from a little kid tapping his coin.”

Deena laughed as the Conway was always between ice cream and gasoline. He worked with Chevron for 35 years.

On Saturday will be the memorial service for Conway at St. Ann’s Catholic Church at 11 a.m.

That will be followed by a celebration in the reception hall.

“We’re celebrating his life, we’re not mourning,” said Noreen. “He had health issues the last seven years. If it wasn’t for the great care of the local doctors and ER here, Dr. David Kincade and Dr. Jack Kooy, we would have lost dad a long time ago. Very grateful to them. They treated dad with such great humour and respect. Nurses were fantastic. The hospital was awesome.”

Pinnacles FC under-13 boys ready for playoffs Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Facing the fifthplace Shuswap in the Thompson Okanagan Youth Soccer League playoffs, the Pinnacles FC under-13 boys expect to win.

Coach Michael Barron said they defeated the Shuswap in both of their meetings this season.

“We really should be advancing from that first game,” said Barron, adding there are no guarantees, though. “We’re definitely the better team.”

Should Pinnacles FC win, Barron expects they would play Kamloops, the top team in the league.

Barron wants to see his players continue performing as they have all season. In the games they have lost, the defeats have only been by one or two goals.

“You want to see them play well regardless of the results,” said Barron, who is in his first season coaching at the district level.

All season the group has played a possessive game, choosing not just to kick and run.

Defensively, the players Barron counts on starts

“He is a solid player,” said Barron.

Rookies pushing through Hockey Canada bootcamp Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

One week left and there are no casualties from Hockey Canada’s women’s national team bootcamp.

Coach Dan Church said on Wednesday that “no one is going to die and they will all come out stronger.”

Since their arrival on May 27, players have been pushed hard, especially rookies.

Jenelle Kohanchuck said what she has gone through in the camp is something she hasn’t experienced before.

Kohanchuck said lots of repetition is involved. It requires work, but the former Boston University Terrier has enjoyed it while getting to know her teammates better.

“At the end of the day, I’m wanting to just go to sleep right away,” she said. “Tiring and exhausting, but we get through it.”

Kohanchuck said

people in the city have been nice to the players, waving to them on the beach and cheering Go Canada Go. “It’s inspired and motivated just to know that people are behind us,” she said.

On Wednesday, during their scrimmage, they attracted the attention of Vees super fan Jon Taylor.

“He’s thrilled,” said Taylor’s caretaker Sandra Wright of meeting some of the players. “He

met Hayley Wickenheiser and got her autograph. He was excited to meet them. He’s been to watch a couple of their practices.”

Taylor, who is disabled, is a big hockey fan and just loves being near the people connected to the game.

“If it’s pretty girls playing it’s even better,” said Wright. Kohanchuck prepared herself for the bootcamp having heard stories about it

and how the players are going non-stop.

“Since I have been here and working with the staff and the team, I feel myself incredibly in shape more than what I was,” said Kohanchuck.

“I feel stronger, faster.

Everything has been improving.”

Bailey Bram joked that she is barely surviving. Their days begin at 7 a.m. and go until 8:30 or 9 p.m.

Among the activi-

ties pushing the players mentally and physically are mountain biking treks to Oliver on trails, highway and some paths. There are also hill sprints.

“When you get to the top, you are like how much further do I have to go,” said Bram, who completed a five-year career with the Mercyhurst Lakers.

Church said the rookies have been bringing energy and enthusiam.

“I think they are fu-

eling the fire of a lot of the veteran players,” he said. “They need to do that. That’s one of the roles that the younger players bring to our team. The inspiration to our more veteran players.”

Church said the camp has gone great and Penticton has been treating them well.

“Being here at the Okanagan Hockey Acadmey is a great location,” he said.

He has also been im-

pressed with the weight room at Okanagan College, which they use in the afternoon.

“They have a phenomenal gym there,” he said. “We are pretty much the only ones in there with not a lot of classes going on.

There’s one guy that comes to run the treadmill every once in a while. They have top rate equipment. It was good relationship for us to build. They have been gracious hosts for us.”
