Much more than a $75,000 purse is riding on this Sunday’s inaugural Challenge Penticton triathlon. A senior editor at Triathlete Magazine said with athlete numbers at about half what they were under the Ironman brand, it will be crucial for the new race to hits its stride right away. “Everyone knows this race and everyone says such great things about it, so as long as there are no crazy kinks, then I think there would be more people coming back to it next year,” said Jené Shaw, one of three editors from the U.S. publication who are competing here.

“We’re just all friends and wanted to do the same race and wanted to see what Challenge could do,” she explained, “and kind of be a little bit of a guinea pig for our audience.” The City of Penticton cut ties with Ironman’s parent company last year and quickly partnered with the Challenge Family to present what will be the European operator’s ﬁrst race in North America. Ironman Canada was then moved to Whistler, where it’s also scheduled for Sunday. Shaw said Ironman “kind of has this big, bad corporation feel sometimes,” but the races are well-organized and have name recognition. She added that Iron-branded triathlons in North America draw better

than those that aren’t, but Challenge Penticton has a chance to establish a new standard. “That’s another reason we were eager to get out there: If it’s well-run and it’s still a great race, then we want to pass that information on,” Shaw explained. “I think it’s a branding thing and it might take a year for people to realize this is still a great option.” Close to 3,000 people raced in last year’s Ironman Canada. As of Wednesday, just 1,400 were registered for Challenge Penticton, according to Paulette Rennie, who chairs the board of the non-proﬁt Penticton Triathlon Race Society that’s operating it. “We’re very happy with the num-

bers, considering there’s another triathlon … in Whistler on the same day,” she said. There are roughly 800 athletes signed up for Challenge Penticton as individual racers, while the balance are in as relay team members, she added. Volunteer numbers are also down, Rennie confirmed, with about 3,500 registered, compared to 4,500 last year. She’s looking for “maybe 100 more (people) to help fill those holes.” Challenge Family CEO Felix Walchshöfer is confident both athlete and volunteer numbers will bounce back. “It’s the first year, it’s a new concept, it’s new in North America (and)

it is not yet known,” he said Wednesday during a presentation to Penticton Rotary Clubs. “But once people go through that day and see the community and everything — and we are going to do a lot of PR internationally for Penticton — it’s going to grow very quickly.” Friday activities include the Underpants Run at 9 a.m. and the Street Dance Festival from 6-10 p.m. Both events are downtown on Main Street. A beer garden and expo are open in Gyro Park throughout the weekend. The race begins Sunday at 6:15 a.m. Professional athletes are vying for a $75,000 prize purse that will see the top male and female each receive $12,000.

An investigation continues into the discovery of a woman who was found dead in a Penticton motel on Aug. 16.

He added the bed area was badly damaged and that is where fire investigator’s believe the origin of the blaze was. “We were able to rule out electrical and other things and come up with a probable cause of smoker’s material,” he said.

FortisBC promotes energy diet Audits identify energy savings Joe Fries

Western News Staff

It’s a strange business model: the company that sells electricity to much of the Southern Interior wants its customers to use less energy. To trim those power bills, FortisBC is launching the Okanagan Energy Diet. Based on a pilot project in the Kootenays, it offers customers discounted energy audits of their homes that could unlock up to $6,000 in rebates for energy efficiency upgrades. Spokesperson Nicole Bogdanovic said it makes perfect sense for FortisBC to help its customers buy less. “It is less expensive to ask people to reduce the energy that they use than it is to continue to build more infrastructure or purchase power on the open market to meet increased demands,” she explained. “So when people save energy, it’s actually not only good for the environment, it makes business sense as well.” Each audit includes give-aways like outlet insulation and low-flow shower heads, and finished with recommendations for improving

the home’s energy efficiency rating. “The No. 1 thing is usually insulation. Most people don’t have wellinsulated homes,” Bogdanovic said. She noted the recommended upgrades could be eligible for rebates from FortisBC and LiveSmart B.C., and that the company can also provide financing for some customers. The audits, valued at $350, are subsidized by FortisBC so customers pay only $60. Local governments throughout the Okanagan and Similkameen are also being asked to contribute, which could further reduce the cost to homeowners. Local governments could also write off their contributions as carbon offsets. A blower door test helps a certified energy assessor determine how much air leaks from a home.

City bumps burial fees to cover expansion and repairs Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

If you truly want Penticton to be your place to stay forever, it’s going to set you back a little more. The cost of being buried in Penticton is going up over the next few years as the city moves to upgrade and repair the city’s existing cemeteries while gradually increasing fees to move to a cost recovery model. According to a Cemetery Services Master Plan prepared for the city by Lees+Associates, it will cost about $1.3 million to expand Lakeview Cemetery to handle future needs, as well as restoration work at Fairview Cemetery. That’s on top of the current $190,000 subsidy for the cemeteries, which covers operations as well as debt financing and capital repayment for the $2.5 million columbarium and mausoleum added to Lakeview in 2008-09. “At the present time, there is no more space left at Fairview Cemetery,” said Erik Lees. “At Lakeview, there is approximately three years of room for the burial of cremated remains, only six years of capacity for traditional casket burial and lots of room left for entomb-

ment in the columbarium and mausoleum.” While the columbarium has seen use, Lees noted there have been only two interments in the mausolea since they were built. Lees recommended moving to a cost recovery model over the course of five years, rather than doing it in a single jump. “If you would like to move to cost recovery in one year, we would be looking at approximately a 150 per cent increase in prices for in-ground burial and even more than that for cremation plots,” said Lees. “The recommended option is to move to cost recovery in five years in 15 per cent increments. That would see you recover your cemetery operations and your interest costs.” After that, fees would continue to increase to match inflation, but even so, Lees said fees would still be lower than Kelowna. “We would continue to be in a competitive position for all of the primary areas of interment options that are presented,” said Lees, noting that all of his options showed a decrease in the mausolea pricing, which he said was set too high originally. Council voted to endorse Lees’ report and directed staff to

develop operational and capital work plans to implement the recommendations. Beyond expanding Lakeview, Lees’ report concludes that both cemeteries are in need of care, especially Fairview, Penticton’s oldest cemetery, built in 1892. “The cemetery needs a little TLC. The monuments have declined over time. The gates need repair if not replacement, the turf condition should be improved,” said Lees, noting that tree roots have begun shifting some of the monuments, which need to be restored. “There is really no historic or interpretive educational signage of any sort,” said Lees. “We think that should be updated to fully exploit the cultural significance and opportunity here.” Even with the Lakeview expansion, Penticton will run out of cemetery room in 25 years. Beyond 2035, additional burial capacity will be required at another location. Lees identified the city’s remaining property behind Munson Mountain, a 10-acre piece originally purchased for sports fields, as an ideal place for expansion. Work there, he said, would have to begin five to seven years before Lakeview is expected to reach capacity.

You’ll make all sorts of friends here. “I think the place is run very well. The food is very good and I’m lucky to be living here”. - Cliff Perry, Resident

Cannabis crusader heading to Penticton

y. may var

2013-07

One of Canada’s cannabis crusaders visits Penticton on Tuesday to share with people his cure for whatever ails them. Rick Simpson, 63, is a proponent of homemade cannabis oil, a product he developed from marijuana buds and claims to have used to heal himself. “It’s basically a cure-all. It’s good for all types of cancer, I would say all types of diseases. I haven’t seen a disease yet it wasn’t a benefit for,” he said in an interview this week from Nanaimo, where he kicked off a 17day B.C. tour that ends Sept. 6 in Terrace. “Over 10 years ago, I cured my own cancer using an extract from the cannabis plant,” he continued “Since that time I’ve been to everybody there is to go to — the cancer societies, the different political parties, I’ve been to them all — and all they’ve done is persecute me. “But now, it’s all over the Internet because I took my case to the public.” Simpson, who lives in Nova Scotia, doesn’t sell cannabis oil, but rather teaches people how to

It’s basically a cure-all. It’s good for all types of cancer. — Rick Simpson make it and also about benefits to which he claims thousands of people have testified in online videos. Sourcing pot is still a problem. “If possible, I like to see people grow (marijuana) themselves; that takes the money out of it,” he said. “But if you have a loved one who’s sick or dying, the only choice you have then if you need the medicine quickly is you have to go to an illegal grower or dealer.” Bruce Prince, a Terrace resident who organized Simpson’s

visit, said he learned about the oil through Internet research and became a convert earlier this year. “I just started using it as a boost to my body with some incredible changes,” Prince said. “My articulation in speaking, the way my brain works just seems to be cleaning right up. I’ve lost some weight off my body,” he added. “I’m not treating any diseases in my body right now, I’m a healthy guy, but I’ve noticed some changes since I started using the oil.” Interior Health spokesperson Lannea Parfitt said her organization was unable to provide comment on cannabis oil because its medical health officers focus primarily on public health hazards. Prince encouraged people to do their own research. “Once you start going online and start looking at the reports and the peer-reviewed studies, you can’t help but get involved,” he said. Simpson will be at the Seniors Drop-in Centre in Penticton from 6-9 p.m on Tuesday, Aug. 27. Tickets start at $10 and will be available at the door. Proceeds from the event will cover his travel costs and also help fund his compassion club.

School support workers studying potential job action Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Students are due back in school on Sept. 3, but how long they’ll stay in class now seems uncertain. The union representing school support staff broke off contract talks with B.C. government representatives earlier this month and is now considering job action this fall. “We feel we have no choice but to do job action,” said Jean Frolek, president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 523, which covers the Okanagan. “The provincial government was only asking what we were

willing to give up. “They had nothing to offer.” Most of B.C.’s public school support workers, such as custodians and education assistants, have been without a contract for a year and have already registered an affirmative strike vote. Frolek said that for now, strike dates are “just being considered in September. It’s not that there is a date (set) for the first day of school.” Leslea Pryde, president of the Okanagan Skaha Teachers’ Union, said if CUPE staff walk out, her members will too. “They don’t cross our picket lines, we

A convicted sex offender from Okanagan Falls, who is arguing he has served his time and should be allowed his freedom, is back behind bars. Ronald Arthur Teneycke, whose parole documents indicate he is a high risk for both violent and sexual recidivism, was arrested on Aug. 14 for a breach of his conditions imposed by the court and possession of a controlled substance. In a document related to these two new charges obtained at the Penticton courthouse registry, Teneycke is alleged to have failed to comply with an order to not be in possession of drug paraphernalia and to abstain from the consumption of alcohol or illegal drugs. The second count alleges that he was in possession of methamphetamine. Teneycke, 51, has a long crimi-

Teneycke made it known he does not want the 810.2 conditions imposed on him because he wants to move to an acreage in rural Oliver. He currently lives with and takes care of his elderly mother in Okanagan Falls and he wants the freedom to be able to go between the two places in case she needs his assistance. It is likely conditions under the 810.2 wouldn’t allow that. Teneycke’s next appearance in court is scheduled for Aug. 28 to give his plea on the breach of conditions and possession of methamphetamine charges.

Teneycke back behind bars on drug charges nal history including a conviction for sexual assault with a weapon, forcible confinement of an Okanagan Falls teenager and two counts of uttering threats that put him in jail for 12 years. His most recent conviction came in 2010 for dangerous driving, fleeing a police officer and three counts of uttering threats. He was sentenced to 14 months in jail and the maximum probation of three years. Just as Teneycke’s probation was coming to an end, an application by the Crown was put forward in June for a Section 810.2 order. Although it is not a criminal charge, if approved by a judge it is a way Crown counsel can restrict and control for up to two years a person who they fear will commit a serious offence. Crown presented the 810.2 application and the judge imposed nine bail conditions on him until the hearing on the application is complete. During an appearance in court

opinion

Camera shy During the last couple of municipal elections, Pentictonites heard a lot about openness and transparency and promises to bring more of it to city council. That never happened, though Penticton city council is not the first to conduct business behind closed doors. But some level of openness was lost when the 2008-11 council dropped the committee of the whole meetings. Committee rules allow for more open discussion amongst councillors, with less formality, from which recommendations are made to a regular council meeting to be voted on. On the other end of the spectrum, the public is excluded from in camera meetings which are supposed to be limited to discussing land, labour or legal matters — issues where open discussion could be damaging to future interests. But council has found another way to go behind closed doors, and that is simply by not telling anyone a meeting is taking place. That was the case this week during a second round of discussions of the Cemetery Services Master Plan. Nothing in the consultant’s report qualifies for in camera treatment. But council’s first hearing of the report was in a workshop, technically open. That is, if anyone but council and staff knew when it was happening. There is little difference between a meeting conducted behind closed doors and one only the participants know about. Community members deserve to hear council’s real discussion on this or any matter if they PENTICTON WESTERN choose to, not just a watered-down version presented at the regular council meeting. A return to the committee of the whole would be a move towards openness, as would taking a tip from School District 67 and publishing the dates of all meetings, including committees and workshops.

Australia: Boating to the Bottom The Australian boat people are getting to be a problem. The ﬁrst few million just got off the boats from Britain, pushed the Aborigines off the good land, and declared themselves the real Australians. This latest lot of boat people, though ... they don’t even stay in Australia. They’re settling in Papua New Guinea. It’s not exactly their own idea, to be fair. The descendants of the earlier boat people, now numbering some 20-odd million, have decided that Australia is full up, so any more boat people have to be sent elsewhere. But where? Well, how about somewhere poor and violent, to deter them from trying to get into Australia in the ﬁrst place? Besides, if it’s a really poor country, then it can be bribed to accept them. Right, then. PNG it is. The Australians have convinced themselves that they are drowning in refugees, but they aren’t. Just go to the OECD’s 2011 online statistics, and check out the top four lines

for Inﬂows of Asylum Seekers. First by alphabetical order is Australia (population 23 million), which got 11,505 asylum seekers. Then comes Austria (pop. 8 million), which got 14,406. Then Belgium (pop. 10 million), which took in a whopping 26,003 refugees. And ﬁnally Canada (pop. 35 million), which received 24,985. If the Australians are drowning, they are drowning in very shallow water. Moreover, 70 per cent of the boat people seeking asylum in Australia are Sri Lankans, Afghans and Iranians, most of whom we may assume are genuine refugees. So why did Australian governments start detaining asylum seekers, including children, as long ago as 1992, even though that is illegal under the 1951 Refugee Convention of which Australia is a signatory? Keeping them in prison in Australia while sorting out their claims eventually got too embarrassing, so in 2001 the government

Gwynne Dyer

Dyer Straits signed a deal with Papua New Guinea to send them to mosquitoinfested Manus Island, 300 kilometres off PNG’s northern coast, for “processing”. But their claims for asylum were still treated seriously, and the genuine claimants were eventually settled in Australia. Then Kevin Rudd took over the Labour Party leadership last June in an inner-party coup, and almost his ﬁrst act as prime minister was to declare that no person arriving by boat would ever be allowed to settle in Australia. They would be settled in Papua New Guinea instead. He was facing an imminent election that Labour seemed bound to lose, so he needed to rouse

the rabble. It worked: Labour’s poll numbers have already improved considerably. Papua New Guinea is an utterly impoverished country with one of the highest crime rates in the world. 85 per cent of its 7 million people survive by subsistence agriculture, and the cities largely consist of gang-ridden slums swept by tribal violence. It is a completely unacceptable place to “resettle” refugees, but Rudd has persuaded the PNG government to take them in return for a very large (but secret) amount of money. Why does Australia behave like this? Racism, obviously. Compared to any other English-speaking people, Australians (or a great many of them) are openly, astoundingly racist. You’d have to go somewhere like Russia or China to ﬁnd people expressing their racial prejudices in such an unselfconscious, almost naive way. And here’s a clue: New Zealanders, similar to Australians in so many other ways, don’t talk like that at all. Racism is mostly about fear, and the

Australians are very afraid of something. You may mock, but I have a theory about that. Every time Australians look at a map, they see the entire continent of Asia looming above their country like an avalanche waiting to happen. I suspect they are afraid that one day it will fall on them and crush them But that’s only because conventional maps are drawn with north at the top. You can already get joke world maps in Australia that put south at the top, so that Australia ﬂoats serenely above that huge Asian mess below. Just make those maps standard in Australian schools and on Australian TV news, and in a few months you’ll see the change. Then, if the occasional boat-load of refugees bubbles up from below, who cares? Australia’s above it all, and we can deal with it. Problem solved. My bill is in the mail.

CANADIAN LIQUIDATORS

Evolution just a made up story (re: Infanticide leads to monogamy, Opinion, Western News, Aug. 2) The article about monogamy and how it was evolved is bunk! Evolution is still nothing but a fantasy, a fairy tale. The fossil record has so many gaps they constantly guess and make up their own ideas and call them fact. Evolution can’t even get out of the water. They have a few theories of how life began and neither can they prove. They have been riddled with problems and hoax finds. It is funny when they claim a missing link only to find it is still alive. I often joke that the difference between a missing link and a new species is 20 feet of dirt. Evolutionists have found pieces of bones and have come up with elaborate stories on what it was and preach it as fact. Evolution is not a science and real science exists without it, although it is still

Cherry picking just plain rude

forced on sciences. It is a religion that passes itself off as a science. There is so much disputable information on it that it’s mind boggling how people still believe in it. Going back to monogamy, being evolved makes me laugh at how they came to this conclusion. It must be true; after all, a program proves it right? So someone creates the software (creator) then programs it with the parameters that they set which gets them the results they hoped for. Not science but more gimmickry. Evolution is all about parameters set by those who are involved. It is this or that because we say it is. This is not science. Just because someone says it is fact, does not make it so. Just because someone can make an elaborate story about monogamy or a piece of bone does not make it fact. Or a fossil, which is proof of a dead animal, and they come up with what it ate, how it lived and

Fortis too expensive

I just have to write about something that bothers me about customers in grocery stores standing at a fruit bin such as cherries and grapes transferring from one bag in the bin to the one they are buying. Are you taking the best and to heck with everyone else? I find this rude and very bad manners. You are certainly not considering your fellow shopper who doesn’t do this socalled culling. I also think the grocery store personnel should put a stop to this and post signs if necessary. I see the people working in their department and they never look up to see what is going on much less give a friendly hello. The other thing that bothers me is the people who walk behind your car as you are trying to back out. If you see tail lights wouldn’t this be an indication to you that the car is trying to back up and therefore be cautious and give that driver a chance to back out safely and for your safety as well? I even had a mother pushing a stroller with her child in it go behind my car. Where did common courtesy go? Where did good manners go? Doreen Johnson Penticton

(re: Fortis rates flaunt Charter, Letters, Western News, July 31) After reading Ron Robertson’s letter I was motivated to write this letter to agree somewhat with him. Mr. Robertson talks about the Charter of Rights and that all Canadians are to be treated equally. I am writing to say that apparently some British Columbians are more equal than others. I have a copy of a friend’s bill from BC Hydro dated June 5, 2013, and have checked with another BC Hydro customer to confirm these rates. BC Hydro is on a two-tier conservation rate, as is Fortis. BC Hydro’s tier-one threshold is set at 1350 kwh per twomonth period, and the rates of the two tiers are as follows: tier one is $0.06900/kwh, this is 21.62 per cent less than Fortis’ tier-one rate. BC Hydro’s tier two is $0.10340/kwh, or 20.2 per cent less than Fortis’ tier-two rate. My friend’s basic charge for 61 days was $0.15270/day for a total of $9.31. Fortis charges me $15.17 every month, so for the same 61 days my basic charge would be $30.34 or 225.89 per cent higher than BC Hydro. Yes, I said 225.89 per cent. So, based on BC Hydro’s

rates, my total cost for a 12-month payment plan, ended May of this year, was 25.9 per cent more as a Fortis customer than if we were serviced by BC Hydro. I have written to the BCUC twice since May of this year regarding the apparent unfairness of the two-tier rates, and have received one letter and one phone call in response. The letter was somewhat contradictory to what Fortis had been saying about percentages of customers who would be affected. The phone call was on June 11 from Mr. Wruck, a BCUC customer service specialist, to say that, “the BCUC and Fortis had looked at having different rates for areas without gas access, but decided that this would look as though they were laying favourites to some consumers.” Instead, as I told him at the time, it looks like they decided to make a small number of consumers subsidize the larger number that have an alternative to electric heat. Now that I have the BC Hydro rates for comparison, it looks like the BCUC and BC Hydro are playing favourites to most of B.C. by charging a lot less for electricity in BC Hydro’s service area, and if you happen to live in an area serviced by Fortis, too bad.

all taught as fact. Evolution has not been proven! It is pushed as so, but it is not in the least fact. Anything unchallenged or researched can easily manipulate, this applies to anything in life. It really takes far more faith to believe in evolution than anything else. It’s easier to believe that garden gnomes come to life at night or elves helped the shoe maker. So dead cells came to life, somehow mutated to a point where they eventually crawled out of the ocean. But wait those that formed on land didn’t like it so they decided to go back to the ocean. After many visits to the water their offspring started to mutate, which allowed them to return to the ocean. The more you think on it the more ridiculous it gets. David Mercier Penticton

The Penticton Western News put questions to the candidates in the upcoming Peach City byelections for mayor and councillor. We asked the candidates to respond to the following questions: 1. What steps can Penticton city council take to ensure the proposed expansion for Penticton Regional Hospital gets approved and moves ahead as quickly as possible? 2. Should council adopt a more open format, perhaps returning to committee of the whole meetings where issues are discussed more publicly, to avoid a repeat of the tax rate bylaw incident, where the matter was debated in camera and never discussed or voted on in public? Responses from the candidates for mayor are below and the responses for the position of councillor follow on p. 9 1. As vice-chair of the Okanagan Similkameen Hospital Board, and a member of the Hospital Expansion Steering Committee, I have pushed for making the improvements a top priority. Part of this commitment included establishing and chairing an ad hoc committee of community leaders with the purpose of pressing publicly for the expansion. The outspoken support of people in Penticton for an expansion is making a difference. Penticton has been paying taxes through the Regional Hospital Board at the RDOS for years to build a capital fund for the region’s 40 per cent share. This fund now approaches $30 million. The next occasion to lobby the province to fast track the expansion will be at the Union of B.C. Municipalities meeting in mid-September. As in the past, the mayor and city councillors will have the opportunity to meet with Interior Health, ministry officials and the official opposition. We must overcome all obstacles in the way of

Garry Litke meeting this community’s need and work collaboratively with the provincial government, the medical community and the regional district to ensure that the hospital expansion gets built. Some time ago I pledged to do whatever it takes to get the expansion and I will continue to work until it is completed. 2. Citizens have the right to expect an open and transparent gov-

1. Dan Ashton is now the MLA for Penticton and says he is committed to the PRH upgrade. If I have to camp on his doorstep to get things moving on the expansion I will do so. 2. There are only three areas where council should not be open with: legal, land and labour. There is no reason why the rest of city business cannot be discussed in the open forum.

1. Continue forward with aggressive talks with Premier Christy Clark, and MLA representative Dan Ashton. 2. I do believe in an honest and open to the public forum on everything. I believe in no secrets, and always tell the full truth, not a halftruth, as so many politicians have done in the past. Although, I can see it would be helpful to council to discuss beforeBrian Henningson hand though, as not everyone can be an expert on everything, and it can be helpful to be better educated, in a workshop atmosphere, and have time to think things over, so as not to waste time at council meetings, nor to make split-second decisions.

ernment. As acting mayor, I took an important first step towards more accountability by changing the policy for city committees. Under my direction, city committees were now required to conduct business in meetings that are open to the public, unless mandated by Section 90 of the Community Charter, under which all municipalities operate. Section 90 stipulates that only matters relating to land, legal or labour must be conducted “in camera.” More can still be done, however. It has long been my belief that city council should be adhering more strictly to Section 90 parameters. Public access to, and debate at all council meetings needs to be encouraged. This means all meetings, including workshops, unless dealing directly with land, legal or labour issues should be open to the public. In addition to increased accountability, many members of the public have worthwhile ideas to contribute and need more opportunities to present these so Penticton can benefit.

byelections Kevin Andrews

1. First of all, I feel that things are moving ahead, (but nothing is ever fast enough when it comes to people’s health). I have worked for Interior Health for a long time and spent more than 10 years working at Penticton Regional Hospital. They care about the people of this community and so do I. I also believe every person in this community cares about the hospital expansion but projects of this magnitude and expense take time. Penticton City Council is only as strong as its members. Council needs to be vigilant and persistent regarding this project. We have a local MP and MLA and we need to keep constant verbal and written pressure on both of these levels of government to ensure this project does not take a

back seat to anything. We need to offer our assistance (as the public and a local government) in any way possible to show how dedicated we are to this proposed expansion. No one person or agency can do this alone. Keep involved in budget talks, see what monies are needed, offer solutions where possible and elect me to city council so you can have a very strong voice working for you. 2. Yes, but with extreme caution. “in camera” discussions have value and purpose. They are a safeguard designed to protect the integrity of the process and the people involved. Yes, they protect people and at times they seem to hide things from the public, but that is not there real purpose. Matters of property purchase, contract

Patrick J. Buchanan

1. The hospital expansion is probably one of the most important issues, not just for Penticton, but for all the South Okanagan. This is long over due. Our MLA has to be fully involved with this project too. We need not just council pushing for the expansion but all the citizens of Penticton and the South Okanagan. 2. All council meetings are open to the public. Yes, there are times when the councillors need to meet ahead of time to review new information so that it can be presented to the public in a proper manner.

Andre Martin

1. This project will move ahead and is incumbent on us to work with the steering committee, IHA, Treasury and RDOS to readily answer any questions the business case needs. We need to work with them. This is a long-term project for the region and let’s do it right. Adding to the health industry of the region, possibly research facilities specializing in Alzheimer’s, diabetes or sport recovery could be part of the mix. Proving we are working to maximize this investment will help the business case and excite the Province to work as quickly as possible. 2. I’m OK with the current process and if elected will decide further once I get a feel for what is going on. Open government is essential, but the reality is most people are

Katie Robinson

apathetic to council and its dealings. Having committee of the whole will make council meetings that much longer for the public and they already lack interest. I would rather 20 people show up for shorter meetings than no one attending due to the length. Further, committee of the whole may result in less committee work. Committees are made up of the citizens of Penticton and they provide valuable input to local government. Finally, if we are asking staff to be more efficient tying them up for a whole day seems to go against the flow. As far as the tax rate bylaw incident, I don’t believe there was any malicious intent. It was a mistake and I’m sure policies are in place now to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

1. Get the commitment in writing. Without a budget and funding in place nothing gets built. Ongoing and relentless lobbying at all level of governments is needed, especially lobbying at UBCM (Union of B.C. Municipalities) specifically the health minister and staff is crucial (every September) and the Treasury Board in the spring before the budget is set. A written commitment for the March 2014 budget is critically important. We should pursue any and all avenues

Lynn Kelsey

1. Although the health minister assured us that things are under way, the council needs to continue to lobby our MLA, Dan Ashton, and the minister and the premier for updates as to where we are in the process. The process has begun with the awarding of the tender for the business case. Council should seek specifics (dates, times, responsible party, etc.) from the provincial government at least quarterly. Dr. Paisley and the citizens group that so admirably spearheaded bringing this issue to the forefront during the provincial election need the council’s continued support to keep the pressure on the government so that they keep their promises to the citizens of Penticton and the South Okanagan. Dr. Paisley assured a friend of mine that all our representatives have told him they will continue to make this project a priority. I feel that the government should put it in writing that we will not be bumped by any other capital health project. 2. Truth, trust and transparency are tantamount to good government. The only things that should be discussed and decided “in camera” are land, legal and labour. If it does not fall under Section 90 then it should be open to any citizen (or press) that wants to sit through all the boring discussion. If the council needs an in-service meeting on a subject then let the people decide if it is something they want more information on and publicize the in-service (in camera meeting) so that the people can choose for themselves how important it is to get the information. An open format is essential to gaining the trust of the people through transparent governing. Council must not only appear to be transparent; they must be transparent.

with determination and commitment until our hospital expansion is built. This process takes years and the City should designate a councillor to sit on the Hospital Committee Board throughout the entire project until it is complete. This will keep everyone well informed and up to date on any vital information. Keep the hospital in the spotlight anyway we can, even literally if necessary! 2. Absolutely. I have always liked the Committee of the Whole format and would very much like to see it back. I will support its return whole heartily.

NAME:

issues and personal issues must be private. Most other issues should (at some point) be a matter of public discussion, public record and possibly even involve a public vote. Very few rules should be cast in stone forever. It is time we reviewed the way we do things and why. Keeping the public informed is a core process regarding integrity. Do not hide things; be honest at all times regarding council business. Be open (when possible) and let everyone know why things are done or discussed the way they are. At least then, people will understand. Encourage public involvement. Let them ask honest real questions and answer them. People understand the need for privacy and confidentiality, but not secrecy.

There are items (land, legal and labour) that must be dealt with in camera, but these should be kept to a minimum and all else dealt with in public. The electorate has a right to be informed and they should know how their elected council is representing them. Having the public see for themselves the sometimes lengthy discussions and deliberations that are necessary before coming to a conclusion, gives a better understanding of how council arrives at their decisions. A councils job is to serve the public not keep them in the dark.

on July 31 officially declined her invitation to attend there. “I knew midway through July that I likely wouldn’t achieve my goal, but I pushed through to July 31 just trying to remain as hopeful as possible and not give up,” Drabot said. The 23-year-old grew up in Penticton and has been on her own since the age of 16. She held down multiple part-time jobs to support herself while attending university in Kelowna. Unable to save the necessary money for Cambridge or tap into regular student loans since the school is overseas, she put her pride aside and asked the community for help through her website. The community wasn’t always kind. “I received a fair amount of discouraging e-mails just essentially saying that I was greedy and selfish and lazy and that I should get a job,”

Former Penticton student Karly Drabot was unable to come up with the $50,000 she needed to attend Cambridge University.

Drabot said. “Reading those was pretty tough ... but it definitely pushed me to remain confident and assured in what I was doing,” she continued, and “forced me to gain a confidence that I didn’t have before. “Then, of course, every few days I’d get a really kind email with a

donation and just really nice words that would totally make all of the negativity worth it.” Drabot plans to reapply for admission to Cambridge for the fall of 2014. In the meantime, she is preparing to spend the next year working as a university researcher. She’s also trying to

get in touch with donors to return their monetary gifts. “Thank you to everyone in Penticton who donated and believed in me,” Drabot said. “I was really touched by the support that I received and it was a very, very humbling experience.”

Actress returns to share her passion at the Shatford Kristi Patton Western News

World of Art — Kate Piché, 8, and Dylan Morgan, 12, work on their planets they made from paper maché at the Penticton Art Gallery during Futurama Week. Until the end of the month the gallery is offering a variety classes for young people.

Jen Viens remembers forcing her brother to take bit parts in her home productions and nagging her dad to break out the camcorder. It was obvious she was destined for a career on the stage. “I was continually writing silly little commercials and videos and forcing my dad and brother to be in them. I was always doing impressions around the dinner table and grew up on all the skit comedy television shows,” said Viens. “I was always doing impersonations. I do have the videos and they are in very safekeeping, hidden away.” The Penticton Secondary School graduate is returning to the community to share her passion for acting and the arts with workshops for youth and adults. She also will be premiering a one-woman play. “It is exciting that Jen is coming home to Penticton to share her skills and expertise in the theatre and film arts,” said Jane Shaak, executive director, Okanagan School of the Arts Shatford Centre. “This series will bring Penticton Secondary students back home to their campus at the Okanagan School of the Arts Shatford Centre to

share their talent and experience with our community.” Viens honed her skills at UBC studying theatre and then in the Lower Mainland to transition to film and television. She developed the Twisted Tree Theatre Company and relocated to Toronto a year and a half ago. Since the leap she has found work doing commercials, some stage work and teaching improv. Most recently, Viens can be seen in a commercial aired in Western Canada for Lilydale Chicken. “The move has been great for me because there is more Canadian content, more independent projects and a lot going on in Toronto,” said Viens. But, it was the time she spent in Penticton honing her skills as a young actress Viens said provided her the outlet and inspiration that she needed to get to where she is today. “I was very fortunate that we had Meagan Rutherford and the theatre performance aspect of things. We worked on very ambitious projects when I reflect back on it. We did a stage version of Michael Jackson’s Thriller and had someone come in and teach us special effects makeup and choreography. It was really incredible,” said Viens.

It also inspired her to teach. “For myself, I was a very loud, boisterous and very dramatic child and I found that not a lot of people can handle that in everyday normal life. I didn’t have an outlet to be myself and so the impetus for creating Twisted Tree is I wanted there to be an environment for these kids to not have to worry about what they look like, sounded like, how they acted and they could be themselves and pursue their creativity for at least an hour and half once a week,” she said.

in British Columbia. This remarkably thick resource gives an idea of the diversity of B.C.’s bird populations, but at the same time serves as an insider’s guide to great walks, hikes and trails. “I think it’s selling very well — not just to keen birders but to everyone interested in the outdoors,” says Cannings. Cannings August eco-tour is geared towards athletes, who may well appreciate the air-conditioned bus ride, and to the rest of us who may have never contemplated running or biking the route in the ﬁrst place. There’s sure to be excellent bird spotting, and with that, a glimpse into a whole different world of competition and bird ﬁnding challenges. To sign up for the tour, contact the Meadowlark Festival: www. meadowlarkfestival. bc.ca. For more information on Cannings’ books visit: www.dickcannings.com.

Triathletes training for the Challenge whiz past rocky cliffs, cool lakes and open grasslands. In the Okanagan, the landscape seen from in the saddle is rich and diverse, and just waiting to be discovered. The day after the big race, when sore muscles are being nursed and the last of the aid stations is being cleared away, renowned biologist and birder Richard Cannings will be giving an eco-tour, which follows the route of the Challenge bike and run courses. Open to athletes and the public, this Meadowlark Festival tour takes place Monday, Aug. 26 (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) from the comfort of an air-conditioned

tour bus. “You could stop almost anywhere along this route and ﬁnd something interesting to talk about,” says Cannings. “My favourite is probably Vaseux Lake, where the valley is narrowest and natural diversity is the highest — from the lake to dry grasslands, towering cliffs and pine forests.” The tour includes a bagged lunch, and a complimentary signed copy of Cannings’ book Roadside Nature Tours through the Okanagan. “I thought this book was very apt for the tour, as it covers all aspects of nature — from geology to forest ecology to insect biology, conservation issues, and of course, birds.” Cannings has also co-written a new book with his son Russell Cannings, which might also come in handy on the tour. Russell spent a year travelling around B.C. trying to spot as many different kinds of birds as possible. He kept notes on his travels detailing the province’s best birding hot spots. The result: Birdﬁnding

ground. In 1998, Atkinson moved to Vancouver and began working with various artists as a session and live guitarist. That is when he met Chin Injeti from Bass is Base. Injeti mentored Atkinson in hip hop, R&B and funk styles. During a tour, in which Injeti’s band opened for Canadian rock and R&B artist Colin James, Atkinson struck up a relationship with ex-members of the Canadian power pop band Odds, who were at that time members of James’ band. When Odds decided to reunite in 2006 Atkinson was asked to help out on guitar and later became a full member of the band. With an ability to perform acoustic, a full band with two drummers or as a duo with percussionist Pat Steward, Atkinson offers a unique live experience that is said not to be missed. Tickets for the Bad Company 40th anniversary tour with special guest Atkinson at the South Okanagan Events Centre can be purchased at www.ValleyFirstTix.com, by phone at 1-877-7632849 or in person at the Valley First Box Ofﬁce (at the SOEC) and Wine Country Visitor Centre.

The voice of triathlon in this city is having a tough time predicting who will be the first professional across the line in this Sunday’s inaugural Challenge Penticton, Canada race. “I think we are going to have a strong race at the front,” said Steve King, who’s been working races here for three decades. “We’ve got I think up to five guys who could be vying for a win.” Among the notables is Chris “Macca” McCormack, who will be racing in Penticton for the first time. “He always comes to win,” King said of the 40-year-old Australian and two-time Ironman World Champion. “He is going to be putting it fully on the line. He would like the title.” At a media conference Thursday morning at the Lakeside Resort, McCormack noted Penticton had always been synonymous with triathlon in his mind. “It will always be the home of triathlon in this country and coming to Penticton is very special to me and it is an honour to finally be able to race here,” he said. He added the long distance races like Ironman have been a learning experience for him over the years. “You become a bit more internalized and I realized I had to work out some of my own problems on a mental level not a physical level,” said McCormack. “It’s getting all those voices in your head right that enables you to push.” King also likes hometown racer Jeff Symonds, who’s coming off a win at a half-Iron race last month in Stony Plain, Alta., “He knows this course like nobody and he’s in great form,” King said of the local favourite. Other B.C. favourites include Surrey man Nathan Killam, who won the half-distance race in Oliver in June, and Vernon resident Nathan Champness, who won the half-distance race in Osoyoos in July. “Both of them I could see doing extremely well,” said King. “Expect them to vie for top half-dozen positions.” The course record, which still holds since Challenge is using the same route, is eight hours and nine minutes and 53 seconds, set in 2006 by Thomas Hellriegel. King expects the winning time this year to be between 8:20 and 8:45. “In the women’s race,we’ve only got eight pros listed but we do have, I think, probably three that could be within 9:40 or less. I think that is an extremely good field as well,” King said. Since the $75,000 prize purse is divied among the top 10 professional racers, the ladies are assured a payout and may be willing to take chances. “The neat thing for the women is obviously they can push the pace hard,” King said, and “$12,000 for the win is a big incentive.” Carrie Lester, a 32-year-old Australian who has won Challenge Cairns, Ironman Australia and is coming off a third-place finish in July at Ironman Lake Placid, is one of the women to watch. Vancouver resident Gillian Clayton, who won the 2012 Ironman Canada, is back again, as is last year’s top age-grouper, Kendra Lee of Denver. Local racers Janelle Morrison and Jen Annett are also expected to do well, King added. Morrison was the third woman across the line at last year’s Ironman Canada, while Annett was first in her age group in the Peach Classic Triathlon. For Morrison it was her first Ironman in Penticton since suffering lifethreatening injuries in a car crash in Nov. 2010, and while the results were positive, she realized she still had a long ways to go. “Last year when I crossed the line it was kind of like, I’m not sure how to describe it other than it seemed like there was more that needed to be learned through the process,” she said. “I had healed my physical body and proven that to myself but there was whole emotional and spiritual side that needed to be healed and rediscovered and regrown so that’s been the key focus this year.” Now with every race completed, the athlete says she is continuing to grow and learn and is on track to finish the season strong. King said the pro category is not as strong as in other years, because Penticton in the past has been a place to pick up points needed to earn a spot in the Ironman World Championship in Kona. In the years ahead, however, he thinks pros may note the rich prize purse and try to plan their seasons around it. This year’s race, the first to allow relay teams, will see one such group, Team MitoCanada, try to set a Guiness world record by completing the event in under eight hours. The pros hit the water Sunday at 6:15 a.m., followed by the wave starts at 6:30 a.m.

Young zebra growing right behind you.” Grinde played hockey for seven years, but quit after the 2011-12 season to focus on officiating. He worked up to the major midget level last season, during which he skated 100-plus games and officiated at the midget AA championship in West Kelowna. While he’d like to one day work in the NHL, his next step is junior hockey. First, he must attend an above-minor camp this weekend in Vernon. “If I do well there, I could be getting to junior B this year,” he said. And if he does get to the junior B level, Grinde will also have to deal with louder fans and coaches. “You just learn to block those things out. A lot of times you just don’t notice them,” he said. “What you notice more is when coaches start yelling at you. You just try not to take anything personal. “They are more just worried about the game than about you personally.” Grinde said if there is anyone interested in becoming a referee, they should “definitely do it.” “Even if you don’t like it, it’s worth just trying it for a year,” he said. “I never knew I was going to like it. Next thing you know I’m doing it for six years now. I absolutely love it.” Anyone interested in becoming a referee should contact referee in chief Larry Jeeves at 250-490-9213 or email him at larryjeeves@ telus.net.

Beach volleyball players set for nationals Western News Staff

Two local beach volleyball players already know what they’ll see during the 2013 Beach National Championship at Vancouver’s Spanish Bank this weekend. “Very tough competition,” said Logan Mend, who’s teamed with fellow Naramata teenager Blaire Anderson. “All the teams coming from the eastern provinces are going to be very good. Every game is going to be a good one.” The duo, who play for the Volleytech Volleyball Club, earned earned silver during the B.C. youth beach volleyball champi-

onship earlier this month at Spanish Banks. The club has seven teams headed to nationals, said co-coach Paul Mend. “The experience gained is huge,” he said. “This training is huge for indoor (volleyball),” the coach continued, and next year “most of these kids will be on the Pen High senior team.” During provincials, Mend and Anderson were ranked No.1 in the boys’ under-18 field, but lost in straight sets to Liam Birker and Irvan Brar of Surrey, who were ranked fourth. Anderson said competition is always fierce at provincials. “It’s an older group of boys. We do play

some our own age group,” he said. “The experience we’ve had playing up has really helped our competition. It helps us see what skills we can develop. What we need to improve on.” Other members of the Volleytech team that competed in provincials were Brayden Wheeler-Kyle Kohlhauser (U-16), Cam Gunning-Kieran Loewen, Kaylie Loewen (U-18), Cor DeWaal-Anton Grabreck (U18), Courtney Wheeler-Nykaila Wheeler (U-16), Tanner Johnson-Kevin Saunders (U-18) and Courtney Milligan-Kiah Wheeler (U-18).

Youth football association needs more volunteers in the huddle Western News Staff

Penticton Minor Football Association is huddling up for another season that could be its last. Registrar Lorraine Sopow said the associa-

tion is still working to generate more interest in the community. With practices starting Sept. 8 at McNicoll Park, their focus is on six- or nine-aside football for kids age nine to 13.

All practices and games will be in Penticton. Players will be taught the basics, including safe tackling, conditioning and rule knowledge. “This will be the seventh year for football in Penticton, and still we hear that many people are shocked to know that it is available,” said Sopow. “Hopefully, the fact that we don’t travel at this point in time will be a positive incentive for participation in the program. “We wish to attract players from Summerland to Oliver and Osoyoos.” PMFA has endured difficult times due to a lack of commitment, tough economy, busy schedules and other factors that have caused the number of players and volunteers to decline. The current board is ready to move on to other things, and if the numbers don’t support the program and new volunteers can’t be

found, it may be the last season of football in Penticton, Sopow said. “I recognize that families are busy these days, but what you take away as a volunteer is well worth the time and effort,” said Sopow. She noted the program has had successes, such as Penticton resident and PMFA product Justin Gabriel, who is now playing for the Kelowna Sun in the B.C. Football Conference. The PMFA season will run until the end of October, depending on weather and field conditions. Practices are scheduled during the week with scrimmages on Sundays. The cost, which includes equipment, will be $125 regardless of age group. An equipment damage deposit is also required. Registration forms are available at www.pentictonminorfootball.com.

Challenge CEO addresses business lunch Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Felix Walchshöfer is not at all concerned about the size of the field for the inaugural Challenge Penticton race. The CEO of Challenge Family spoke at a Penticton Rotary meeting Wednesday, on the eve of race week, telling how the same thing happened when his parents first switched the Roth, Germany race from Ironman to their newly-developed Challenge format. “In 2002, we started with about 1,000 single participants and about 120 relay teams, very similar to here. It has grown to this year to much more than 5,000,” said Walchshöfer. It’s not only the race in Roth that has grown; the Challenge Family brand has grown to 21 races in 13 countries around the world. That includes Penticton, which is running the first North American Challenge this weekend.
