NEWS PENTICTON WESTERN Western News Staff
All along Westminster Avenue Thursday morning, people were stopping to watch as a parade of tractors made their way from the Naramata Bench to MLA Dan Ashton’s office in Riverside Plaza, one of them holding aloft a case of wine. The wine was a gift, not for Ashton, but for him to pass on to B.C. premier Christy Clark, who is to take it to the July 24 Premier’s conference at Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ont. “This is our Best of the Bench collection and our hope is we can get Premier Christy Clark to pass this on to the other provincial premiers at the upcoming Council of the Federation,” said Miranda Halladay of Elephant Island Winery. It seems Clark is going to have a lot of wine to pass around at the conference. Besides the dozen bottles from Naramata wineries, Clark already had four bottles she planned to give to Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne. Clark will be breaking Ontario law in order to get them there, though. Despite the federal government dropping regulations preventing the shipment of wine between provinces a year ago, only B.C. and Manitoba have relaxed their provincial laws. That, said Halladay, was the purpose of the tractor parade and the gift, to attract attention to how little has changed since Bill C-311 was passed in June 2012. “I think most Canadians don’t know this is something illegal and it is something so simple, from our perspective, to change,” she said. The ability to ship wines anywhere in Canada would be a huge boost for the many small- to medium-size wineries along the bench and throughout the South Okanagan, few of which produce wines achieving national distribution. “Because we are small, a small opportunity is a big opportunity for us. It was something that needed to be addressed,” said Halladay, who thinks the resistance comes from retailers and provincial monopolies fearing

She thinks part of the slowness to change is because the LCBO lacks motivation; Ontario wineries can ship to B.C., but not the reverse. “Those are your two main wine regions, so if we are okay with having Ontario wineries shipping, why aren’t they okay with B.C. wines?” said Enns.

Proponents of chemtrail conspiracy target city Steve Kidd Western News
It certainly looks official enough, but the City of Penticton wants everyone to know the notices alleging planes are spraying chemicals over the city did not come from them. “It’s totally false pretences, and fraudulent,” said Chuck Loewen, acting city manager. The notices have the city’s letterhead at the top and are signed by a Susan Smith, environmental department manager and have been distributed on parked cars. “We have no environment department, we have no Susan Smith that works for us,” said Loewen, adding that the issue has been passed on to the RCMP for investigation. “We just want to ensure that people are not alarmed by this. “It is not something the city does or would do. It’s enough that it has caused alarm in some individuals, both visitors to the area and citizens of Penticton, and that
is of grave concern to us.” The fake notices warn “unidentified planes” are leaving behind “unusual and heavy chemical smoke called chemtrails.” It also exhorts anyone seeing one of these chemical trails to email a picture with the time and location to Premier Christy Clarke’s office. Loewen said the city has also received unconfirmed reports that individuals posing as city officials asked businesses to help distribute these letters. Sgt. Rick Dellebuur said the RCMP has no complaints from business owners, but are investigating an incident where the notices were distributed on cars in the Shoppers Drug Mart parking lot. At this point, he said, the investigation didn’t seem likely to result in criminal charges. “While I wouldn’t advocate using this approach to raising public awareness I still think it’s inevitable that it would eventually happen for the simple reason the mainstream media isn’t

doing its job or researching the topic and reporting on it. I see it more as street theatre type advertising,” said
Arthur Topham of the B.C. chemtrail alert blog. “It’s beyond question a conspiracy by someone.”
Colin Kavanagh is a member of the Okanagan chapter of the Centre for Inquiry, a national educational charity devoted to combating pseudoscientific theories like chemtrails. The huge number of people needed a program of that scope would make secrecy impossible. “It would take hundreds of thousands of people across North America, let alone the world, and there is no way that could be kept under wraps, ever,” said Kavanagh, adding that if there were any substance to the theory, its proponents wouldn’t need to resort to the tactics used in Penticton. “If you are going to lie to say these things, then you are not standing on firm ground to begin with,” said Kavanagh. “If you had a decent case for what you are saying then you should be able to present it in a logical manner that is testable and repeatable.” One of the points mentioned in the notice is that trails made by water vapour
would dissipate quickly, so anything lasting longer than a few minutes must be made of something different. “I love how they set the criteria for these things,” said Dr. Robert Young, an associate professor with the Earth and Environmental sciences at UBC Okanagan, explaining that is a false statement. Depending on conditions a contrail might last for minutes or hours, according to Young, who explained that contrails usually form at higher elevations, above 8,000 metres, where the ice will persist much longer. If the air mass the plane is flying through is supersaturated, water vapour and carbon in the plane’s exhaust can be the trigger for the formation of ice crystals. If the air mass is dry, a contrail may not form at all. But the ice crystals don’t form until the exhaust cools. “Chemical spray would be visible immediately, but it is not until the exhaust cools and the condensation occurs that you can see the contrails,” said Young.
Jury in Kalmring murder trial hears Wiens’ side of the story experts provide contradictory testimony regarding Wiens’ description of events Kristi Patton
Western News Staff
A storm brewing over Kelowna on Wednesday caused lights to flicker in the courtroom where a Penticton man is facing charges of murdering his common law spouse. For the family of Lynn Kalmring, the woman Keith Wiens is accused of shooting in their shared residence in Penticton, Aug. 16, 2011, it was just another sign she’s watching over them. “She has been around us a lot,” said Kalmring’s sister Donna Irwin. “One time there was a fire alarm that went off right at a crucial point and we thought that was probably Lynn. Then the lights flickering on and off today, that was probably her saying we are coming to the end of this and we are going to see justice.” The trial, which started in June
and was adjourned until the beginning of July, has put emotional and physical strain on the dead woman’s family said Irwin. Now their patience will be tested as the jury was excused until Monday while lawyers go over the evidence with Justice Geoff Barrow as he prepares his charge to the jury. Defence for Wiens said they were not quite prepared to rest their case and if they do call another person to testify it will be brief, meaning both sides will be prepared to provide closing arguments at the beginning of next week. The case is expected to be in the jury’s hands by Wednesday. “I feel really good now, we just hope the justice system doesn’t let us down. Justice for Lynn is what we have been fighting for this whole time,” said Irwin. “The sleepless nights, the tears, the horrible things we have had to listen to and see — I hope we get the verdict we are look-

ing for.” Wiens, a retired RCMP officer, got on the stand last week to offer his version of the events. He testified a small argument over a bet placed on a video game escalated into a full-blown fight and he admitted to firing a shot into Kalmring’s head, but stated it was in self-defence as she came at him with a knife. He said she was drunk and assaulted him, later returning to the bedroom with a knife and rushed at him. Wiens said he stepped backwards raised his gun and shot Kalmring in the head and she fell backwards into a seated position, exhaled her last breath and collapsed onto her back. He then said he puked in the toilet and called 911, telling police something “got out of hand here tonight.” Earlier in the trial crown witness Dr. Currie, a pathologist, testified his findings showed someone put a
knife in Kalmring’s hand after she fell to the ground and died. Crown counsel Colin Forsyth earlier suggested Wiens staged it there after her death to strengthen his side of the events that he was under attack when he shot his common law spouse in the face. This argument was supported by forensic anthropologist Sgt. Diane Cockle who said from her analysis of photos from the scene and autopsy that Kalmring’s body was either handled or moved after she was shot. On Thursday, defence for Wiens put their own expert on the stand who contradicted those conclusions. “That the left hand was moved shortly after death cannot be sustained with the evidence at hand,” said Dr. John Butt, whose long history as a chief coroner and medical examiner led defence and crown to
determine his testimony as that of an expert. The doctor stated that in his opinion no one could come to the conclusion Kalmring’s hand was moved after death. He said that stains left from blood flow after death on the back of her hand were more likely a suntan, not the cause of someone moving her hand. Butt also took exception to the procedures Currie used to come to his conclusions about the body, specifically failing to take notes or use a dictation machine while at the scene. “It’s extraordinary that one wouldn’t do that,” he said. Defence also put their own blood spatter analyst on the stand and the consultant told the jury that Wiens’ testimony fit with the evidence that has been presented, although he couldn’t disclaim opinions of the crown’s experts.

New rules to regulate vacation rentals in rural areas of the South Okanagan have yet to win over local politicians and the public. Planning staff at the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen have worked since January 2012 on a set of bylaws to help crack down on nuisance properties. Those bylaws received preliminary approval at Thursday’s RDOS board meeting and will now be sent to public hearings. At the core of the new rules is a requirement for homeowners to obtain a temporary-use permit from the board, but not everyone is convinced the permits will solve the problem. “I’ve been asked, ‘If we can’t enforce our zoning bylaws as they currently exist, then how is it we’re going to be more empowered to enforce offences of zoning under the TUP permit?” said Tom Siddon, the director for Okanagan Falls-Kaleden. “If we can’t enforce, we can’t enforce, and people who don’t choose to pay or apply for a TUP can still do as they please…. One way or another, we still have an enforcement challenge.” Naramata Director Karla Kozakevich acknowledged that shortcoming, but said the permits will provide “a much stronger tool” if the RDOS takes a wayward homeowner to court. She also suggested permits offer a relatively easy way for homeowners to make their rentals legal. At one “ongoing problem” house in Narama-

ta, “they teach their renters to say that they’re just friends and family and it goes on that way.” Kozakevich said. “My goal would be… to approach that individual, because his understanding of this is it’s illegal, to now say, ‘Look, you can come into compliance by doing a TUP,’ and get him to get on board with that and better understanding how he’s impacting the neighbours.” Each 18-month permit would require notification of neighbours before it’s issued by the board, which could choose not to renew licences for homes that attracted complaints. The $750 cost of a new permit was also criticized. “That isn’t engaging anyone to come in and register. It should almost be for nothing if you really want to find out where these vacation rentals are,” said Bruce Hallquist, a director for Summerland. Penticton Director John Vassilaki said it’s more than the “excessive fee” that will dissuade some people from getting a permit: “It’s the tax problem they’re going to have once they’re registered, because now they’ll have to claim what they make on their income taxes, and that’s another big stumbling block to this coming forward.” Permit costs will be dealt with separately from the main vacation rentals bylaw package that will be put out for comment at a series of hearings in Osoyoos, Okanagan Falls and Naramata on dates yet to be determined. The RDOS board also received 30 pages of comments from government agencies and the public.

Burke convicted of touching a youth for sexual purposes Conviction nets 40-month jail term and name on sexual offender registry Kristi Pattom
Western News Staff
A Penticton father said he plans to continue his lawsuit against the school district now that the man who sexually assaulted his teenage son has been sentenced. “The one thing I am looking for is, ‘I’m sorry, we screwed up on our end,’ and I haven’t gotten that. “I’ll let them get on the stand and they can justify it that way. “They would rather hide behind court,” said the father of the victim, whose name is protected by a publication ban. “Not one of them (from the school district) have the decency to say I’m sorry to my son.” Rene Mark Bernard Burke was sentenced on Thursday to 40 months for touching a young person for a sexual purpose and had an extra three months tacked on for two breaches. It is alleged that in 2011 Burke took over custodial care of the teen in the Okanagan Skaha School District’s eyes, without the biological father’s knowledge or permission, by signing a transfer request to another school. The father has filed action against the school district in small-claims court over the matter. He said they will return in October for a pre-trial conference, with the trial slated to start in January. “If the school didn’t sign him over I think I could have stopped four or five of those (sexual encounters),” said the father outside the Penticton courthouse. Burke took the 16-year-old into his home provid-
ing him with alcohol, drugs and cigarettes, grooming the teen to do whatever the man said. That included four to six sexual encounters, during which Burke instructed the teen that he needed the protein from the boy’s semen to treat a medical condition. After being arrested and released under strict conditions to not contact the teen, Burke sent a text message to the boy within days and provided him with alcohol. A victim impact statement provided to the court by the father describes the teen as having suicidal thoughts, no longer trusting anyone and hiding his pain behind alcohol and drugs. Outside the courthouse the father said his son is starting to get better and “turn his life around.” Burke, who pled guilty to the charges, previously stated through his counsel that he hopes the teen can re-establish a relationship with his family and move on from this. Judge Meg Shaw said in her decision that Burke has a prior record which includes a conviction for gross indecency while in Sudbury, Ont., in the mid80s and a conviction for sexual exploitation in 2007, also in Ontario, for which he served 18 months. Burke will have 20.5 months left remaining behind bars followed by three years of probation. Part of his conditions include no contact with his victim or the father, no contact with anyone under 16 and not to be alone with anyone under 16 except for incidental contact where a member of the public is present or while at work. Burke also will be on the sex offender registry for 20 years.

Investment Tips For Single Parents When it comes to investing, single parents face unique challenges. While they have many of the same goals as two-parent families, such as providing for their children’s education and their own retirement, the financial lives of single parents can be more difficult. However, that doesn’t mean single parents don’t have suitable options for meeting financial goals. It all begins with an investment plan. Setting goals and a strategy for reaching them will give a single parent a good chance of meeting current and future financial needs. Saving and investing even a moderate amount at regular intervals can make a big difference. For a single parent, time and discipline are valuable investment assets. The best time to start investing is now. Don’t be intimidated by how little you might have to invest, because any amount is better than nothing. Make a plan to invest regularly, and stick to it. Take the example of a 35-year-old single mother with a six-year-old son. The mother hopes her son will begin university or college at age 18, and she wants to make a substantial

contribution to his education. If she invests just $100 a month and her portfolio earns an average annual return of 7%, those investments will be worth more than $21,000 by the time her son enters a postsecondary institution. That won’t cover all his expenses, but it will be a big help. This doesn’t mean she should ignore her own financial future. In fact, one of the biggest mistakes made by single parents is putting their children’s future before their own. Many single parents delay investing for retirement, waiting for “the perfect time” to invest. This is usually a landmark event, such as paying off the mortgage or when the children leave home. If the 35-year-old mother in our example waits until her son enters college to begin investing $100 a month in
a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) earning 7% annually, she’ll accumulate almost $41,000 by the time she turns 65. If she starts investing $100 a month at age 35, she’ll accumulate over $113,000. Plus, she’ll have more years of RRSP tax deductions, and potential income tax savings. This single mother would be better off putting money toward her son’s education and her own financial future at the same time. Her son can always supplement education savings by working during his school years, or by taking out a student loan. On the other hand, the mother’s options will be limited by the time she reaches retirement. If you’re a single parent and you’re not sure where to start with your investment plan, seek help from an investment professional. With professional assistance you can set realistic objectives, explore how much risk you can afford to take when investing, and get started on a strategy that will help you reach your goals.

Gasoline prices expected to spike Joe Fries
Western News Staff
Penticton drivers have so far managed to swerve around gasoline price increases seen elsewhere in B.C. this summer, but one industry watcher predicts a spike is just around the bend. “I wouldn’t be surprised if it came today or tomorrow for Penticton,” GasBuddy co-founder Jason Toews said Thursday from his office in Regina. “We’re seeing prices jumping all across the country and B.C.” Since last week, the average price in B.C. has risen by four cents a litre to $1.441, according to GasBuddy, a website that tracks gas prices in cities across Canada and the U.S. Toews said that spike is largely due to increased demand during summer driving season, although the price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil has also risen by US $13 to $107 a barrel in the past month. Adding to the probability of a hike at the pumps here is an upward trend in the cost of gas at the nearest depot in Kamloops. The wholesale price there has shot up by 4.9 cents to 89.6 cents a litre since July 1, according to data from Natural Resources Canada. Toews said wholesale prices “more indirectly” affect retail prices than other factors. “If the wholesale price goes up by four cents, that generally means the retail price should go up by a similar amount,” he said, adding there can be a lag for retailers who are sitting on older supply. “If I got my gas, say, on Monday, and the wholesale price goes up Wednesday, I still have gas in my tanks that I bought for a lower price so I might not
raise my (retail) price that quickly.” As of Thursday morning, gas prices across the Okanagan ranged from a low of $1.309 per litre in Vernon to a high of $1.359 in Penticton. That ongoing disparity has come under scrutiny from Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas, who is still awaiting the outcome of a complaint he helped a constituent file with the federal Competition Bureau. Albas heard about the issue shortly after he took office in 2011. At the time, people were angry about variations between communities, particularly Penticton and Kelowna. “There seemed to be a decoupling in some areas and people were asking why,” Albas said He did his own research, then helped the constituent, whom he declined to identify, submit the complaint earlier this year. Albas is unsure if the Competition Bureau will look into the the complaint, since it doesn’t usually comment on matters that are under investigation.

opinion
The sky isn’t falling It wasn’t long after Orville Wright took flight in 1903 aboard the Kitty Hawk that the sky became laced with white ribbons known as contrails as planes sliced through the upper atmosphere. Contrails are produced when heated exhaust, specifically the water vapour, is released in cold, dry air, as is often the case at altitude. This week, proponents of the chemtrail conspiracy hit the City of Penticton, posting notices on city letterhead and trying to enlist local businesses to join their cause. Chemtrail conspirators believe contrails left by planes flying high above are actually trails of chemicals being released for undetermined purposes, including weather modification. The science of chemtrails has been debunked many times over by chemists and atmospheric scientists. The recent incident chewed up the time of city officials and law enforcement officers. Rather than pursue a non-existent problem, chemtrail conspirators should focus their energies on the verified chemicals released in the exhaust of commercial airlines, including carbon dioxide and nitrous oxides. Carbon dioxide is a known greenhouse gas and, according to the David Suzuki Foundation, the aviation industry’s contribution has increased by 83 per cent since 1990. With the growth in low-cost flights, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by the aviation industry will only increase. Nitrous oxides can lead to the formation of PENTICTON WESTERN where it can behave as ozone in the troposphere a greenhouse gas. So, instead of putting energy into non-existent, physically impossible chemical conspiracies, why not focus on the real causes of climate change.

Food security - a frog in the pot If you drop a frog in a pot of boiling water, so they say, it will hop right out again. Frogs aren’t stupid. Well, okay, but they’re not that stupid. However, if you put a frog in a pot of cool water, and gradually turn the heat up under it, the frog will not notice what’s happening. It will happily sit there until the water boils, and it dies. Now, I have never carried out this experiment personally – I prefer my frogs’ legs fried – so I can’t vouch for the truth of it. It’s just a story the environmentalists like to tell. Besides, I already knew that human beings have trouble in detecting slow-moving threats. You can watch us failing to do it every day: we persistently ignore the fact that we are running into trouble at a civilisational level, even though the evidence is all around us. The foundation of every civilisation is an adequate food supply: human beings simply cannot live at the density of population that civilization implies without a reliable agriculture. But the supply of good agricultural land is limited, and the number of human beings is not. Governments everywhere are well aware of the problem: we are now seven billion people, heading for an estimated 11 billion by the end of this cen-

tury, and the food situation is already getting tight. So tight, in fact, that the average price of the major food grains has doubled in the past 10 years. But everybody finds local reasons to ignore that fact. You can postpone the problem for a while by increasing the yield of the available land: irrigate it, plant higher-yielding crops, fertilize the soil artificially, use pesticides and herbicides to protect the crops as they grow. So we are running into trouble. The developing countries know that they are under the gun, because the standard predictions of global warming suggest that it is the tropics and the sub-tropics where the warming will hit food production first and hardest. Most governments in the developing countries know the facts, but the short-term political imperative to raise living standards takes precedence over the longer-term imperative
to curb the warming. So headlong industrialization wins the policy debate every time, and we’ll worry about the food supply later. The developed world’s governments do nothing, because until recently they secretly believed that the catastrophe would mostly hit countries in the former Third World. That would unleash waves of climate refugees, plus local wars and a proliferation of failed states, but the rich countries reckoned that they would still be able to feed themselves – and their military could hold the other problems at bay. But what is becoming clear, just in the past few years, is that the developed countries will also have trouble feeding themselves. Part of the problem is that many of them depend heavily on underground aquifers for irrigation, and the water is running out. It’s running out even faster in China, India and the Middle East: for example, grain production has dropped by a third in Iraq and Syria in the past 10 years. But it is hitting the big producers in the developed countries, too, and especially the United States. For example, the amount of irrigated land in Texas has dropped by 37 percent since 1975. The amount in Kansas has fallen by nearly 30 percent
in the past three years. And now it is becoming clear that the impact of warming will also be much greater than anticipated in the developed countries. In these countries, the problem is extreme weather causing massive floods and prolonged droughts – like the heat wave that hit grain production in the US Midwest last summer, or the coldest spring in 50 years in England, which has cut wheat yields by a third. Combine the steep fall in irrigation, the crop losses to wild weather, and the diversion of large amounts of cropland to grow “biofuels” instead of food, and it is not at all certain that the developed world will be able to grow enough food for its own citizens in five or 10 years time. So are the leaders of these countries launching crash programmes to stop the warming, cut down on water losses and end the lunacy of biofuels? Of course not. The smarter ones just reckon that since their countries will still be rich, they will buy up whatever food is available elsewhere and feed their own people that way. It will be other people, in other countries, who go hungry. And the slower ones They’re just frogs. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Byelection costs the price of success Now that all election issues have been resolved, let’s take a look back and recap. The polls were radically wrong. The margin of error of samples and prediction were off the wall. The Liberal spin doctors wove a magic web of “good guy/bad guy” and it worked. It was almost a 100 per cent rout. There was, as we all know, a fly in the liberal ointment. That fly was the fact that our illustrious leader was not re-elected in her riding. One could almost hear the cry of “woe is me,” from Christy Clark and cohorts. However, not to worry, there is a Sir Walter Raleigh in Kelowna-Westside, willing to throw down his cape so that the Queen would not get her little tootsies wet and cold. Poor thing! What to do was the issue at hand. The Kelowna-Westside riding was secured by the Liberals. No problems here! A local entrepreneur had garnered a majority of votes to make this so.
Lions reach target
As a member of the Okanagan Falls Lion’s Club, and with the support of District 19 of Lion’s International, I am pleased to report that our objective of collecting 30,000 pairs of eye glasses in seven years has been surpassed. By June 30th we had collected 30,418 pairs. District 19 includes the surrounding areas in the South Okanagan. These glasses are collected and recycled to third-world countries that desperately need them. The program was started by Helen Keller as far back as 1925. This could not have happened without the support of the community. Thanks to Wal-Mart Visions, Cherry Lane Visions, Waterford Eye Centre, Penticton, Waterford Eye Centre, Osoyoos, Real Canadian Wholesale Optical, Penticton Optical, Dr. Specs, Dr. Zacks, Skaha Pharmacy, Ok Falls Pharmacy, Anavets Club, and Eagles Club. Bob Matheson, Okanagan Falls Seniors Center, and last but not least the general public who contacted us and dropped off their used glasses. We would all like to win a lottery. For the recipients of these glasses it will be like their lottery win, they will receive the gift of good vision. Their quality of life will be improved by your donation. One person can make a difference in this world but many people can make miracles happen. Please help the Lions continue this valuable program by continuing to drop off your used glasses at any of the participating outlets. Thank you each and everyone for donating, you have made a sig-
After a short break in things, it was announced that Ms. Clark would be given the opportunity to run in a by-election to secure a seat so that she could continue to drive the Liberal bus in whatever direction it might go to benefit all B.C. residents as promised by her. B.C. benefits, really? This might seem trivial, however, there is a price to be paid for this by-election. No, the Liberals didn’t pay for it, you and I paid for it! Can you imagine that, two kicks at the cat, and we paid for both of them and didn’t bat an eye, irrespective of our political position. This would be almost the same as going into a store and making a purchase; paying for it, and leaving it on the counter and walking away. When you went to use the item that you purchased, you realized that you couldn’t find it, no matter where you searched. When you realized that you had left it at the store, perhaps you went back or maybe not because you were embarrassed. Either way, it’s a grim pill to swallow.

Cavendish comes out of retirement for Valentine
We’d like to let the community know about the generosity of a well-known local actress, Nicola Cavendish, who has agreed to come out of retirement to again be Shirley Valentine, a role she has played over 600 times on stage. She will do two performances at Oasis United Church in Penticton August 17, as a special fundraiser for the church. Nicola has always been generous with her talents, and over the years has done many shows to support different organizations. We sincerely thank her for that, and invite your readers to come and discover Shirley’s magic.

You might ask yourself, What do I do now? You can’t go back to the store so you look around to see who has the item that you thought you had purchased and how much it will cost you. Once you have found it, you have to decide whether or not you are going to shell out the bucks needed to secure it. In the Liberal scenario with Ms. Clark, she did not have to pay for the article in question, a seat!” We paid for it! She has vowed to be a concerned area citizen in the riding. About 63 per cent of the locals in the area bought into this rhetoric. My question is, How do you represent an area effectively when you have no clues as to what the real grassroots issues are when you haven’t lived in the area?” No, Ms. Clark, being the third premier to come from the area doesn’t make for sainthood, irrespective of what you might think. Your predecessors were residents of the area and businessmen of the area and had a far greater understanding of the constituency

Research reveals precedents
(re: Liberals should dig into own pockets; Letters, Western News, July 12) I find it real annoying when people write letters to the editor without doing any research. Former premier Don Getty of Alberta, won re-election as government but lost his own seat. Former premier, Robert Bourassa of Quebec won reelection as government but lost his own seat. Christy Clark, premier of B.C., won re-election as government, but lost her own seat. Don Getty, Robert Bourassa, and Christy Clark all had a elected MLA resign their seat to make way for them to run in a by election. All three won the byelections. I ask why is it a crime in B.C. to do this procedure when B.C. did exactly the same as in Alberta and Quebec? Joe Sawchuk Duncan

Success truly comes at a price. There is no denying that our illustrious premier will be on the bandwagon, waving her baton and calling the tunes to be played. As a consequence, we have seen fit to pay the piper to play the tune, whatever that tune may be. We know that it won’t be the tune of BC Rail Gate; Fast Ferry Gate; Job and Economy Gate; Balanced Budget Gate or Family First Gate!

Through happenstance and then research, I found out that low level laser light treatments can have a profound positive effect on arthritis. I decided to stop the drugs and try the laser, even though it is expensive.I prioritized it because it concerns my work and my health. I found a clinic in Penticton that is professional and knowledgeable. After 12 half-hour treatments, my fingers have visibly improved, the swelling has gone down. I have wrinkles in my fingers again! The pain of using them has diminished and I use them a lot more with much less discomfort. I can bend my fingers where I could not before, and I have better grip. My rheumatologist’s face and her comment expressed that I was stupid or crazy when I told her that I was intending to try light therapy. Why don’t the arthritis clinic, its doctors and the government take this form of non-invasive treatment more seriously? Marcia Stacy Summerland

After every election, losers look for excuses. This time the blame goes to low voter turnout. The question is why is this happening? You can’t cure the ailment without the correct diagnosis. The real reason people chose not to vote is there was nobody to vote for. The onus is on political parties to win your vote. I’ve heard the argument that, in Australia, people are fined if they do not vote and the plan is working. The problem is

not obvious. If half the people who voted do not care, it follows that the elected government will not care either. I have a democratic right to vote for the candidate I want. I also have the right to abstain. Removing one right does not enhance democracy. It kills it. The Australian policy looks a lot better than it is. There are dozens of ways to spoil your ballot. You and your wife could vote for opposite sides. You could vote for a party that has no chance of winning. You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink. Forcing people to like you is not the way to go. Gerry Lepine Summerland

property owner and got a positive response to the plan. Other than Philip Locke, she admits. Locke, who owns property on Martin Street, has been a vocal opponent of the planned revitalization, which he doesn’t expect will bring about the desired result of attracting more people. “It’s beautification, not revitalization. This beautification won’t bring an extra person downtown just because they have trees planted,” said Locke. “Martin Street and Westminster was chosen because it is a doable project. It would show a huge positive change, it was something we could do in the short term that would really show what could happen,” said Milton. The $1.25-million project includes streetscape improvements for the 200-block of Martin Street and Westminster Avenue from Main to Winnipeg. Sidewalks will be replaced with decorative pavers and new street furniture, lighting and trees will be added. “I think it’s going to be a great thing for the street. Martin Street probably hasn’t been touched in about 30 years or longer,” said Duane Jordan, owner of the Best Damn Sports Bar and the Pasta Factory. “It’s a main entrance to downtown from the north side and right now it’s just a disaster,” said Jordan. With the new theatre complex, restaurants, and other amenities, he feels there is a need to make the street itself more people-friendly.
Improvements planned for Martin Street will remake the streetscape with decorative pavers, improved light and other pedestrian friendly touches.

Right now the lighting here is awful, the sidewalk is awful, there is no streetscape,” said Jordan. “We’re calling this the entertainment district and we are not making it inviting.” Making the area inviting is what it is all about, Milton said, countering Locke’s concerns that the planned beautification won’t result in increased numbers of people coming to the area. “The more vibrant and welcoming we make it, it encourages more residents, which is the higher density Mr. Locke is speaking of. We all agree that needs to happen. It’s part of the downtown plan to encourage more density,” said Milton. “Showing pride in your community also helps economic activity by boosting the area and filling it with people.” Locke’s other con
cern was the installation of flex parking along Martin Street, which he worries will reduce the number of on-street parking spots in front of his properties. Flex parking will allow landowners or tenants to convert parking spots directly in front of their building to spaces for street cafes or other uses. Milton contends that while there may be some loss of parking directly in front of businesses, Martin Street is not short on parking; there are several lots nearby, including a large one where the Safeway store was previously located. “We have seen first hand what positive things can happen if we work as a community,” said Milton. “There are many areas of the downtown that need attention and care. Martin Street, being neglected for many years, is top of the list.”

Tony Alcand’s eyes well up with pride and a giant smile spreads across his face as he starts talking about the Royal Canadian, Mounted Police Musical Ride. “It makes you so proud to be Canadian and it is precision riding at its best,” said the Okanagan Falls man who will be the master of ceremonies and announcer on Saturday when the ride comes to the South Okanagan Events Centre for two shows. “It is a point of pride and as a Canadian, it is the coolest thing you can see. I was in Lake Chelan watching it and the Americans were amazed by it. It gives you that extra boost and the maple leaf just pops right out of your chest.” A former rodeo announcer, Alcand has been involved with bringing the show to the area when they pass through B.C. every four years. He acted as MC when they trotted through Osoyoos 16 years ago, followed by Penticton, Oliver and Summerland most recently. Because of his connection to the South Okanagan, Alcand got the Summerland Rodeo Grounds Equine Development Committee to sponsor the event. All proceeds from the two shows will go toward the fundraising effort to improve the rodeo grounds, which are owned by the municipality and maintained by the Summerland parks and recreation department. Gwen Shaw, president of the rodeo grounds committee, said their vision is to have an indoor covered arena. “This is a place for all of the public to use, not just for horses. We think of it as a multi-purpose facility to hold any kind of events such as weddings, family gatherings, retreats, rodeo clinics, dog training and concerts. The improvements we have made so far are starting to bring people around it and it is a huge tourism draw. We would love to open up camping sites geared towards horse people with a corral built right there and they can head out on marked trails into the mountains. There is a big demand for that. I have seen other places in B.C. do just that and they are always full,” said Shaw, adding a bull-riding event will be featured

Diamond makes singer a believer again Kristi Patton

From a rockstars swagger to belting out

gunslinger from the old days. You are the lead singer in a rock band and life is at your beck and call. You get whatever you want and have people eating up your music. That is power. Then it all disappears,” said Scott. “Now the brass ring isn’t getting the record contract.” Getting down the look, the sound and moves of Neil Diamond became Scott’s new mission. And he jumped in with both feet, but it took a big slap in the face to get there. After signing a record contract with a label in Vancouver in 1989, Scott’s friend Brian MacLeod (of the Headpins and Chilliwack fame) began producing it. Six months in, MacLeod was diagnosed with cancer and shortly after Scott’s good friend died and so did the distribution deal. “I thought, well I put in my 20 year’s and I was on the ferris wheel and went for the brass ring a number of times and it didn’t work out. I basically went into the bar business after,” recalls Scott. One night he ended up at a karaoke bar with his sister and she asked him to sing a song for

her, picking out Love On The Rocks. “The Vancouver Canucks were playing on the TVs and the only screen for the lyrics was on the sport screen at the front so you sung with your back to the crowd. I started singing and all of sudden there was this big whoop in the crowd and I thought the Canucks had scored. I spin around and the crowd are all on their feet screaming about this Neil Diamond thing.”
As the frontman for a rock band, Scott was always standing on his tiptoes trying to reach high notes, Diamond took him to his lower register, something he hadn’t really explored. “My sister said, ‘You are bang on Neil Diamond.’ A light went on over my head and I began experimenting with it,” said Scott. Despite being completely disillusioned after his close friend McLeod
died, everything started to fall in place for him to become a Neil Diamond tribute artist. That was 15 years ago. Since then Scott was awarded the Sunburst Convention of Celebrity Tribute Artists award in 2010, second place in the Vegas Tribute Idol and an invite to perform as the opening act for the headlining Country Superstars show at the Golden Nugget Showroom in Las Vegas. He was also nomi-
nated for a Reel Award, considered the Oscar of the tribute industry. Last year, Scott returned to Las Vegas to perform on the Fremont Street stage, breaking attendance records on a Tuesday night. “When you pull something off like this you get tears in your eyes. Diamond is very charismatic and when he swings his arms to the left everyone looks to the left. I have seen him live twice and it is electric and only a few people in the world have that presence,” said Scott. Now he is bringing his tribute act to a place he holds dear to his heart. “Penticton is our adopted hometown for my family. My dad (Doug Pritchard) worked as the city administrator in the 80s, my sisters basically ruled Penticton during that time in their late teens,” said Scott. Jason Scott’s Diamond Forever a Celebration of Neil Diamond will be at the Penticton Royal Canadian Legion on July 27. Tickets are $25 and include a roast beef dinner at 6 p.m. with the show starting at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at the Penticton Legion.

dressed in colourful tiedye T-shirts they made during camp, opened with a subtle pizzicato song and a medley of traditional themes. Then the junior chamber music ensemble played a hornpipe by Purcell and a syncopated piece by Blackwell. These young people also composed a melodic string quartet under the guidance of Summerland composer Anita Perry, which was performed by faculty members Calvyn Dyck, Elizabeth Lupton, Joel Stobbe, and John Suderman. This was followed by two snappy fiddle tunes with vocals and moves in I’m a Merry Leprechaun and Merry Blacksmith. There were many adult string-players in the camp. They formed chamber music groups with humorous names like
Roswitha Masson Symphony Review
The Late Bloomers and The Wolf Gang and played a variety of classical selections. Faculty member Rosemary Thomson, who is also the conductor of the Okanagan Symphony, played the cello with the Shatford Cello Ensemble in a Vivaldi sonata. The stage was not big enough to accommodate all the players of the senior orchestra. The violin players had to stand up at the front of the hall. Their
performance of Bartok’s Rumanian Folk Dances was rhythmic and passionate. Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No.3 under the direction of Rosemary Thomson was festive and elegant. Yesterday by the Beatles sounded luscious and nostalgic on the strings. All 40 string-camp participants performed the last two items of the concert. Anita Perry’s Lullaby, which she had composed for the occasion, had a cradling motion and modern harmonics. Susan Day’s energetic boogie Moonlight Express finished the program. The concert truly was a celebration and a suitable ending for another successful Strings the Thing music camp. Roswitha Masson is a concert reviewer in the South Okanagan.

Under the scrutiny of a banker and a security professional, a Penticton man last week set out to smash his own Guinness world record for the largest collection of uncut banknotes. Leigh Follestad is preparing to submit to Guinness the documentation necessary to confirm the new record of 212 sheets in 134 different denominations from 51 unique countries. Each number is approximately double the current benchmark. Follestad began accumulating coins as a boy, but it was an uncut sheet of US $2 bills he found in Hawaii that became the foundation for his collection. “This is basically my baby since I was 10,” said Follestad, who owns the downtown Smart Shopper store. The colourful collection, which includes rejects, proofs and special collectors’ editions, spans the globe, from Ecuadorian sucres to New Zealand dollars and Chinese yuan. “Canadian money is just as good as the rest of them,” he added. At first, Follestad found new additions through central banks, magazines and dealers. “Then the Internet came along
with eBay and that kind of thing and I started putting buying requests out.” The collection, stored in a secret location, is now valued at tens of thousands of dollars. He set the previous record in 2005 after lobbying Guinness officials to create the category. To establish the new record, Follestad had to find two reputable community members to count the sheets of money and validate the submission. Guinness “won’t send someone for this but they’ll verify everything and contact these people and make sure that everything is legit,” said Follestad. Kyle Gilbert, a CIBC business financial advisor who was one of the official counters, said the task was just a little bit outside his usual job description. “It’s a first for me,” said Gilbert. “I’ll do a lot of different things for clients, but that was definitely the first on the Guinness verification program,” said the 33-year veteran of the banking industry. “This was quite different. Most entertaining, actually.” Follestad expects to send off his application this week and hopes to find out by the end of the year if Guinness will accept the new record.

Right now, Larry Taylor, 65, is doing what he loves most, flying. “You get a perspective from flying you can’t get anywhere else,” Taylor said of what makes flying special for him. Taylor, along with co-pilot John Soutter and a handful of other local pilots took off for Charlottetown, PEI earlier this week as part of the cross-Canada Century of Flight tour. “If you’re going to have an adventure, it might as well be an adventure,” said Taylor of his motivation to join the cross-Canada flight. In all 50 pilots are making the trek that has overnight stops in Swift Current, Sask, Dryden, Ont, Elliott Lake, Ont, Gatineau, Que, and finally Charlottetown, PEI on July 20. “There’s some big days in there,” said Taylor of the first legs of the trek. Despite what most people might think, Taylor said the flight will not be easy as there are many things to consider while flying besides making sure you are going in the right direction, including local weather conditions. “It’s not going to be easy,” he said with a chuckle and a shake of the head. The inaugural Century of Flight was held in 2009 when 100 planes crossed the country to mark the 100th anniversary of powered flight in Canada, Taylor explained. Taylor was part of the 2009 group, but had to pull out after landing in Calgary. Taylor, who first sat in a cockpit at the age of 27, is flying a Cessna 172 owned by the Penticton Flying Club. With more than 500 logged hours piloting, Taylor said, in addition to the flying, he enjoys the camaraderie between pilots. “There’s an awful lot of shop talk,” Taylor said.

Two years ago, James Ludvigson was willing to get arrested to bring attention to the lack of disabled-accessible furniture in Penticton’s parks. Now, Ludvigson is praising city staff for getting on the ball and making the city’s parks and beaches more accessible. “Under the leadership of Jeff [Lynka, parks director] and the broad approach he has, I think the city is doing wonderful,” said Ludvigson, though he thinks the city needs to do a lot more to let people know about the availability of the accessible furniture. “The city is doing a good job in preparing all this stuff, but nobody in town knows where they are and how big they are,” said Ludvigson. “I would really like to see the city take more of an emphasis on promoting it. When you’ve got it, flaunt it, that’s my thought.” Lynka said the city isn’t quite at the one-inseven ratio Ludvigson recommends but does recognize the need to have tables for all abilities. “We try to incorporate as many wheelchair tables as part of a plan,” said Lynka, noting that they now also have five portable tables with extensions on either end to allow for wheelchairs and scooters.

Few students use school district anti-bullying website
NOW OPEN! French pastries, butter croissants, custom cakes.
778-476-4046
Joe Fries
Western News Staff
Only four local students took advantage last year of the B.C. government’s new online system for reporting bullying. The website, which went live in November as part of the ERASE Bullying Strategy, allows students anywhere to make anonymous reports that are sent to local administrators for action. Don MacIntyre, the safe schools co-ordinator for the Okanagan Skaha School District, said all four reports he received contained third-hand information that was found to be inaccurate. One of the incidents, he said, related to an argument that was overheard at a party. “As it turned out, it was just a disagreement between two kids, so perception has a lot to do with the way kids would report,” MacIntyre said. Other reports concerned students being intimidated by someone. “Once again, it’s all thirdhand information, not something that somebody saw themselves,” he said. “By the time it works its way through that kind of a process, there’s obviously elements of that conversation that have been either over-emphasized or under-emphasized.” MacIntyre, also the district’s director of instruction, said bullying is typically dealt with in schools before an online report is filed because most students are comfortable taking problems directly to staff members. “That’s been my personal experience, and I think as long as kids think they have a voice, they’re going to use it.

individual districts to gather, review and classify reports. The reporting website is one part of the 10-point ERASE Bullying Strategy unveiled a year ago by the B.C. government. The $2-million program is focused mainly on development of new resources for educating teachers and parents about the issue. Silver said the emphasis this year will be on training 15,000 educators and community partners to identify and prevent threats, and create caring school communities.
MacIntyre said the strategy is building on work already done by individual school districts. “What it does is it gives us access to the most recent research on how to deal most effectively with these types of circumstances, so for that reason I think it’s highly valuable,” he said. “I wouldn’t say the vast majority of it is brand new to us. All it’s doing is extending what is already active in our district, but it’s giving us access to what current research says about what’s best practice, and I think that’s always useful.”

Too often, she added, people read the obituaries about someone who has fought a long, hard battle with cancer and died. “It’s not like that and we want people with cancer to know there is hope,” said Markin. Once completed, the quilt will hang in the society’s Main Street office. It will be presented at the 2013 regional volunteer conference hosted by Penticton in late September.

Cyclists loved Kettle Valley ride Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff
Beautiful scenery and volunteer efforts contributed to success of the inaugural Okanagan Trestles Tour. “It was challenging for sure,” said organizer Glenn Bond, whose July 14 event attracted 844 cyclists. “Like any firstyear event, there are some things that we can do better and will do better.” Cyclists took an 80-kilometre trek along the Kettle Valley Rail Trail that started at Myra Canyon near Kelowna to the Penticton Lakeside Resort. The route started with 16 trestles and two tunnels and is flat for the first 36 km with an eventual 2.2 per cent decline to Penticton. Teresa Salamone of Osoyoos said it was a great idea to ride the KVR. “The scenery was just fantastic,” said Salamone, who rode with her husband. “I loved it (the distance). We were unsure we could do the distance. That part was fun for us.” Salamone emailed Bond thanking him for the “great ride.” “The logistics were perfect. We’ve organized road races before (running) and have some

sense of the logistics that you had to manage to pull this off,” she wrote. “But of course, your logistics were a magnitude more sophisticated than anything we had to handle. Unbelievable amount of detail, and as far as we
are concerned, everything went off without a hitch.” Bond said the route was beautiful and was part of celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Okanagan Mountain fire. “It’s a celebration of rebuilding the trestles.
That was a big part of it,” he said. “The challenge of an 80-km off road race is not easy, but the reward made it worthwhile. The scenery, views, the trestles, the history.” In their feedback, riders told Bond they loved
the trails and rest stops. Therese and Bruce Roberts sent Bond a message on Facebook saying “this was the best.” “Everything was so well organized from the very first email to the finish line,” she wrote. “Con-
gratulations. Will tell all my friends that missed it this year to sign up for next year.” There were some issues, the first being a bypass required because one trestle was destroyed by a rock slide in April. Bond
said the event wouldn’t have occurred without the bypass. “The bypass was more time consuming and energy consuming than we had estimated,” said Bond, noting that it added an hour or two of riding. “It was near the beginning so that caused a long wait. Only one person at a time could go. Overall, it was fantastic because the buses got moved up all over night with Two Small Men with Big hearts. There was a lot of effort to pull this off.” Bond was able to continue the race with support from B.C. parks and the Trestle Society as all options were explored. Bond noted that the bypass is still not open to the public. The other problem was the food supply. Bond apologized for running out at two of the five aid stations. He said not having a clock, as it wasn’t a timed event, changed the dynamics of the race as people ate more food. He is addressing that so it doesn’t happen again. Despite some of the challenges, 98 per cent of the riders completed the bike ride, with the youngest being a 10 years old and the eldest, 80.
Pikes perform against B.C. swimmers Western News Staff
It was a strong provincial showing for the Penticton Pikes in Revelstoke last weekend. The swim club placed fifth among 10 teams. The Pikes competed in the meet that had over 350 swimmers across B.C. The local club finished well due to extremely strong performances by its group. “This was a good meet in preparation for regionals as all of the top regional swimmers attended,” said Pikes coach Elliot Clarke. “There are many Pikes swimmers this year that will be in contention for medals at regionals.” The top placings for the Pikes are as follows:

the 50-m freestle. Ben Say picked up two bronze medals in the 50-m breast stroke and 100 IM.

Tigers get crucial win Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff
The South Okanagan Minor Baseball Association Tigers’ 10th win of the midget AAA season proved to be its most important. Trailing 2-0 early to the West Kelowna D-Backs at Carmi Field, the Tigers put five runs on the board in the bottom of the second. They went on to win 8-3. Tigers assistant coach Reed Quaal agreed the offensive outburst was the turning point which clinched them a playoff spot. “That was really good because the first inning we had a bunch of guys on base and didn’t score,” said Quaal. “The next inning we had the same thing. A couple guys on base and didn’t score them. To score those runs finally kind of lifted a weight off our shoulders and the kids playing too.” The Tigers efforts forced the D-Backs to remove Mason Boppre from the mound in

favour of Donny Lee, who was strong. Chase Decosse, who plays outfield and catcher for the Tigers, said they played well, making good contact with the ball backed up with solid defence.
“They had trouble hitting the ball,” said DeCosse of the D-Backs. “I think we pretty much put it on cruise control and carried through.” The only way the D-Backs can make the playoffs is by winning their remaining games. Quaal said that will be tough for the last-place team to do. Quaal and Tigers coach Junior Deleon are pleased with the team’s play. They have six wins dating back to May 12. “About halfway through (the season) the team just decided to turn it on,” said Quaal. “We’ve played really solid defensively. Started to hit the ball a lot better.” The Tigers next play a double-header today at Carmi Field when they host Vancouver at 4 p.m. Victoria sits fifth in the league with a 12-15-0 record. Quaal said they are a tough team, who in May defeated the Tigers 7-4 and 15-5. “I think it will be a couple of good games on Friday,” he said.

Daniel Everton, Acacia Benn and Samuel Lasinski returned from the AAA provincial championship at the University of British Columbia with eight medals. Everton won gold in the 100-metre freestyle and earned silver in the 50-m free, while Benn picked up three bronze medals in the 100-m backstroke, 200m freestyle and 100-m freestyle. Lasinski picked up a silver in the 200-m breaststroke and bronze in the 200-m and 400-m individual medley. “It was a really great meet for us,” said KISU coach Tina Hoeben of the meet during the July 6 weekend. “We had some huge break-through swims. They placed very well against the rest of the province.” Hoeben said Everton, Benn and Lasinski all had spectacular swims leaving their comfort zones to pull in medal-worthy performances. The other KISU swimmers also had strong swims, just not enough to reach the podium. The winning trio was technically strong and the effort was there, said Hoeben. “You have to go hard right to the finish,” she said.
Everton, 11, was thrilled as it was his birthday during the meet. “I was thinking it was one of the best birthday presents ever,” he said. “I think I did really well.” The two medals are his first in provincial competition and Everton didn’t expect to do as well as he did. “I knew I was going to do well, but not this well,” he added. “It was very hard. There was lots of fast kids I knew I couldn’t beat. Some I knew I might be able to. Standing on the podium was really awesome.” Benn, 11, was excited by her results because she knows she performed her best. “I found it as a big challenge,” she said. “I wanted to take on that challenge and try to beat them.” Lasinski said he felt pretty good following his swims, but knows there is room for improvement. Lasinski said the competition was tough. “Most of the people I compete with at the AAA, I know them, we are friends,” he said. “It’s friendly competition but it’s always hard.” Going into the weekend, he wanted to set new best times and improve on his weaknesses. He feels he’s achieved both. As for the

success of his teammates, Lasinski said it’s amazing. “They have done a lot better than I did when I was their age,” said Lasinski, 14. “In a couple years we’re going to have a really strong senior team.” At the end of July, KISU has Lasinski, Payton Nackoney and Reilly Rowland heading to San Jose, Calif. for the Far Westerns.

Vees general manager Fred Harbinson said Sexton brings junior A experience and comes from a great hockey family. “Ben was a hard worker with a high compete level and Pat will be the same,” said Harbinson. “He put up some good offensive numbers.” In his final season with the Bears, Sexton scored 10 goals and finished with 36 points in 62 games in the Central Canada Hockey League. Off the ice, Harbinson encouraged people to take advantage of their season ticket drive, especially mi-

Ultraman Canada motivates locals Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff
The motivations differ for Penticton’s Bruce Schoenne and Dave Matheson as they prepare for Ultraman Canada set for Aug. 3-5. They are two of 29 athletes preparing for a three-day journey that is 514.5-kilometers of swimming, biking and running. For Schoenne, the motivation is it will be a second attempt to conquer the triathlon. “Unfortunately last year, I was 20 kilometers short of finishing the run on the final day due to some health issues,” he said of the day, which is an 84.4-km run to Summerland along the Old Princeton-Summerland Road. The athletes finish at Memorial Park in Summerland. “If you had asked me last year, I’d go, I don’t know, just something to do.” Schoenne, an investment advisor/ appraiser also involved with Challenge Penticton, said he wants to prove he can complete the event. He said to some people, that final 20 km may sound like a long way, but to him it wasn’t, considering that the first two days he completed a 10 km swim in Skaha Lake from Penticton to Sovereign Road near Okanagan Falls, followed by a 144.8-km bike ride through the south Okanagan, over the Richter Pass and finishing in Kenyon Park in OK Falls. The second day has competitors cycling 274.2 km from Penticton to Osoyoos, returning to OK Falls, then climb ‘The Wall’ to Willowbrook and Twin Lakes on their way to Princeton, taking a side trip to Alison Lake before finishing at the Princeton Arena. “I was concerned with my health, I just lost a lot of weight and it’s not worth it that much,” he said, adding that he has learned to take care of his body better. Schoenne laughed at the fact he describes the other participants as “weird” and him not being like them. “It’s a whole different set of people,” he continued. “They are an amazing bunch of people that can do that kind of commitment all year. Just to finish something like that is unbelievable.” Matheson is motivated by curiosity. A long distance triathlete for 12 years,

I challenge. just lost a lot “It feels kind of like it’s of weight and the next stage,” said Matheson, it’s not worth an accountant it that much. with Revenue — Bruce Schoenne Canada. “I’ve actually been wanting to do the event for a number of years now. I have been involved three times in the past as a crew member. Every time I’ve done that, I’ve kind of been inspired by it.” Schoenne and Matheson will be joined by five men capable of winning. Inaki De La Parra of Mexico won last year’s Ultraman United Kingdom and is considered among the favourites. Also in the mix are former winner John Bergen and newcomers Craig Percival of Australia and Christian Isakson of Portland, Ore. The women’s race has five participants, including West Kelowna’s Kathleen Wood. To participate, athletes must have completed at least one Ironman distance race in under 14.5 hours in the previous 18 months. Local residents are invited to witness the end of all stages as follows: Stage 1 at Kenyon Park in Okanagan Fall at approximately 2 p.m. on Aug. 3. Stage 2 at the Princeton Arena at approximately 3 p.m. on Aug. 4, and Stage 3 in Summerland’s Memorial Park at around 1:30 p.m. on Aug. 5. The Ultraman family of events is welcoming a new event in Orlando, Fla. for February 2014. This will bring the total number of Ultraman Events to four including Ultraman UK and the Ultraman World Championships, Hawaii. Ultraman notes: The IGA in Okanagan Falls and H.Y. Louie is a gold sponsor for the event and will be supporting athletes, support crews and volunteers with food and hydration products.
