DISTRACTED DRIVERS STILL A PROBLEM

NEWS PENTICTON WESTERN

Western News Staff

Distracted drivers received a rude awakening last week. During a four-day campaign to crack down on motor vehicle operators using electronic devices, the Penticton RCMP issued 103 tickets to violators. “There’s no question it’s a high number and we were a little alarmed, I guess surprised is a better word,” said Cpl. Ted Manchulenko who worked the random locations with other traffic members. “My understanding is that last month Vancouver City Police had written 800 tickets for electronic devices, so that’s about the same but it’s too many, especially for sleepy, little Penticton.” In order to catch offenders, a very plain-clothes officer was stationed on the street, often at an intersection, watching for people using the electronic equipment. When a violator was spotted the vehicle information was radioed to officers waiting around the corner or down the street, and a ticket was issued. “What was surprising to us was to find how easy it was to focus on something like the use of electronic devices and get those numbers,” said Manchulenko. “Why that is I have no idea, whether these drivers are just not getting it, or they don’t know there is a fine involved or if they just feel they are a better driver than they really are. “I don’t know, perhaps it’s a social thing, that we can’t be apart from this thing for more than 10 minutes.” The fine for using such a device is $167, however if the offender is a new driver or is actually texting instead of talking there are three penalty points added to the licence. Also surprising to Manchulenko was the response of the people who were caught. “Many people straight out denied it,”

GIMME FIVE (THOUSAND) — Penticton Mayor Garry Litke, Laura Hunt of Global Spectrum and Penticton Vees head coach and general manager Fred Harbinson encourage the public to come to the South Okanagan Events Centre today at 5:55 p.m. to attempt a Guinness world record for most simultaneous high five’s. The goal is to break the current record of 4,699 set earlier this year in the U.S. The event is a celebration of the fifth anniversary of the SOEC and the home opener of the Vees at 7 p.m. against the Merritt Centennials.

he said. “To a large degree people know what they’re doing and they know they shouldn’t be doing it, yet they still do it. “It’s not unlike speeding, ‘No, it wasn’t me.’ Yeah, it was you and you know what you’re doing is wrong.” He added many people think it is alright to multi-task when they’re behind the wheel and stopped at a traffic light. Using the time to check messages or text someone. But in the brief moment it takes a person to look at the telephone, everything can change. “The light is turning, the pedestrians are moving, the traffic flow is moving the entire situation of the intersection is different,” said Manchulenko. “There is also the possibility pedestrians or other drivers may be moving against the lights unexpectedly. According to Manchulenko, a vehicle traveling 50 kilometres an hour is moving over 14 metres a second and a lot can change in that time frame. “We get the argument that, ‘Well I just looked down when the phone rang to just check the number,’” said Manchulenko. “But in that one second you’re through the intersection and already on the other side, into the lane way of the next block.” “So if the crosswalk is on the other side and if a guy takes a step off the curb in one second, you’re not going to have time to react to that and it’s too late for both of you.” With today’s technology and relatively inexpensive hands-free equipment available, Manchulenko said there is no reason for drivers not to be paying full attention to the task at hand. “Either that, or just pull over, what’s so important,” said Manchulenko. “Traffic safety is a critical thing to the citizens of Penticton and we’re trying to make everyone as safe as possible.”

Tourism office launches Fly Local campaign Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Penticton may have lost the bid to bring Westjet to the South Okanagan, but that doesn’t mean the community has given up hope for a direct flight to Calgary. The latest pitch is a justlaunched Fly Local campaign aimed at persuading people not to bypass Penticton when booking flights. “About 60 per cent of the people that are flying out of the South Okanagan don’t fly out of Penticton,” said Mayor Garry Litke of the campaign, which is a partnership between Tourism Penticton and Air Tourism PenTicTon has teamed up with Air canada to launch a Fly Local campaign aimed at encouraging Canada. “They don’t even think about local residents to fly out of Penticton as opposed to Kelowna.

Governor General to address youth forum Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Pentictonites will have a rare chance to interact with Canada’s Governor General Monday, when he visits the city to support a new youth initiative. Gov. Gen. David Johnston is addressing a forum with the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan and the United Way, where they are presenting the results of a collaboration with youth in the community and a new program. “It’s absolutely amazing that the Right Honourable David Johnston will be joining us for this important community discussion,” said Aaron McRann, executive director of the CFSO, adding that there are two reasons the Governor General has chosen to attend. “One is that he really believes in collaboration between organizations that we are demonstrating,” said McRann, adding that youth and families, and trying to find better ways to support them, is also one of the Governor General’s goals, one of the three pillars of Johnston’s vision for a “smart and caring” nation. “So the whole concept appealed to him very directly. He will be speaking, giving closing comments at the forum,” said

McRann. “We are very excited to launch this unique youth program.” The forum is a milestone on a path that started about a year ago, when the United Way and the CFSO both received bequests from the estate of Rohan Crompton-Bell. Crompton-Bell wanted to support youth, especially regarding self-esteem issues, explained McRann. Since the two organizations already had ties, McRann said they decided to get together and plan how to maximize the gift. “Our partnership between the Community Foundation and the United Way is a wonderful example of how donors can make immediate impact and leave a sustainable legacy for Penticton,” explained Marla O’Brien, executive director of the United Way. “We have consistently heard that youth are an underserved group in this region and we look forward to addressing the issue with proceeds from the bequest.” “Between discussions between ourselves and the executrix of the estate we decided to focus on defining first the needs of the youth in our community, recognizing that a lot of the services provided in our community — events and health services — are focused on older populations,” said McRann. The first step was to hire a researcher

who spent time with youth in the community as well as service providers, trying to identify what the real needs are. “That report has been completed and we will be presenting the findings of the report on Monday. There is going to be more that needs to be done after that,” said McRann. “Where we go from there starts on Monday at this public forum. We will be engaging in a conversation with those at the forum about what comes next.” After the forum, according to McRann, the first step is to establish a community committee. “That committee will sink their teeth into what should happen first,” he said. “The research report clearly indicates what direction we need to go, with three specific goals for outcomes. But how we get there and which one comes first requires more discussion.” The public forum runs from 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. where the youth project will be announced and an open discussion will follow. After the forum there is a lunch with Gov. Gen. Johnston. The forum is free to attend and tickets for the lunch are $30 inclusive. Reservations are required to attend this event. Please RSVP by contacting the Community Foundation office at 250-4939311 or admin@cfso.net.

and boost the number for Penticton,” said Litke. “Someday, because of their participation, we may be able to get that flight to Calgary. Then we will significantly shorten that travel time.” And there are more benefits to flying out of Penticton, Coun. Judy Sentes points out. Not only will your car be closer to the terminal, travellers don’t have a long drive to get home after their trip. “The more traffic Penticton Regional Airport receives, the stronger the business case for increased services,” said Litke, noting that the support of Air Canada in the campaign is a hopeful sign. “They are trying to help us boost that number. There must be some interest, we just have to help them make the business case.” The campaign may also help persuade Air Canada to bring back the extra flight to Vancouver, which was cancelled as part of their shift to a winter schedule, with expectations it will be reinstated in time for next year’s tourist season. “We need to increase the pressure again and make sure they haven’t forgotten about us,” said Litke.

mounties arrest two vehicle thieves Western News Staff

Penticton Police Dog Service helped nab two men who took off running from a stolen vehicle they abandoned. On Sept. 18, Mounties had been following a stolen vehicle, that came from Chilliwack to the Okanagan Provincial Park. Cpl. Brad Myhre said at the north end of the campground two males ditched the vehicle and ran off northbound. RCMP members pursued the two males on foot with the

assistance of the police dog service, catching them shortly after they began running. Myhre said one of the males arrested was from Chilliwack and had a lengthy criminal record and outstanding warrant for his arrest. The second male was from Penticton and Myhre said he also has a lengthy record. Both were arrested for possession of stolen property and held for a bail hearing the next day. The two men are facing a number of charges.

Litke optimistic about Peach City prospects Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

If you’re looking for a lunch buddy, how about Penticton’s new mayor, Garry Litke? While it’s not quite an invitation to dinner at 24 Sussex Dr., Litke has issued an open invitation for Pentictonites to share lunch with him twice a month. Litke opened his first council meeting Monday as mayor with a short and sunny speech. Along with talking about his vision of a bright economic future for the city of Penticton, Litke also talked about increasing accessibility, specifically to him, by instituting brown bag lunches with the mayor in council cham-

bers at City Hall. “On Wednesdays following council meetings, the public will be invited to this room with their bag lunches to share their lunch with the mayor,” said Litke. “The intent will be not for the mayor to speak but only to listen.” With just over a year before the next full municipal election, Litke has given himself a long to-do list that he shared with the public Monday night. That list includes some concrete short-term goals, starting with adding a new protective services advisory committee with input from firefighters, police, search and rescue, ambulance and community members.

He also committed to following through on campaign promises to increase openness at city hall. “I would like to increase transparency by continuing to monitor committee meetings to ensure they are not held in camera when it is not necessary and by bringing the workshops that have been presented to council behind closed doors out into the public so the public can participate,” said Litke. Litke also plans to review council travel and expenses “using demonstrated outcomes as the filter for approval.” The city, he said, must derive benefit from all council trips, whether it is to Japan, Federation

of Canadian Municipalities meetings, or even the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. “I intend to do a cost-benefit analysis of all of those trips and would like to suggest some guidelines in the future,” said Litke. “What is the benefit of attending and how many should attend.” Litke’s first brown bag session Wednesday brought only three people, but the topics ranged widely from the start of the Kokanee spawning run and how to increase transit ridership to overgrown plants blocking wheelchair access on sidewalks, which resulted in Litke agreeing to spend an afternoon touring spots with problem accessibility and trying to get around in a wheelchair.

Mayor Garry Litke is optimistic about the future of Penticton.

School district needs billets Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Having already brought up four kids of their own, a Penticton couple is one of dozens in the area who are taking on the task of helping raise other people’s children. “It keeps you young. The quickest way to get old is not to have young people around,” said Patrick Witzaney, who, along with wife Beverly, has become a host parent to a 16-year-old German exchange student. The Witzaneys are one of 39 families in the area with international students on whom the Okanagan Skaha School District has focused recruitment efforts. Full-time students from overseas pay $12,000 a year in tuition, money the district can use to supplement shrinking government grants tied to declining enrolment. However, the school district’s top administrator is worried a lack of host families could stall growth of the international program before it even takes off. “We know that we could attract more students to the community, but our ability to welcome these students will be dependent upon our ability to arrange home stays for the students,” said superintendent Wendy Hyer. “We have space in our schools due to our declining enrolment, but we cannot utilize this space if the students have no place to stay.” Hyer said the program, which creates jobs and brings money into the community, attracted 24 longterm students and generated a profit of $140,000 in 2012-13, and is on track to do better this year with 30 such visitors. The Witzaneys opened their home at the suggestion of a friend who’s a long-time host parent. “I enjoy young people — always have — so that made that part easy,” said Patrick, a retired flight services specialist who last worked for Nav Canada. “My great grandparents were immigrants from Germany, so I thought: ‘You know, that could be fun.” The newest member of the Witzaney family is Thorge Sass, who grew up in Celle, a German city of 70,000. Sass arrived in Canada in August and is staying until next summer. He’s currently enrolled in Grade 11 at Penticton Secondary School, where he hopes to learn something about himself and the world, plus brush up on English. He hooked up with the school district through an international placement agency. “At first I wanted to go to Alberta, but nature was important to me so I decided on British Columbia,” Sass said. He described his host parents as “kind and neat,”

and was most surprised by their seemingly worryfree approach to home security. “They don’t lock the door when they go out with the dog,” he said incredulously. Bev Skinner, international student program facilitator for the school district, said she’s always recruiting new host families and is currently looking for 20 homes for a group of Korean students who are coming in January. She added that students’ visits here range from one month to three years, so host families have a chance to do a short-term trial. “Most of them have such a good time they would go in for the long-term,” Skinner said. Host families receive $725 a month per student, and can accommodate a maximum of two kids. However, potential hosts must pass criminal record checks and are also carefully matched with students who share similar interests or lifestyles. Interested families can contact her by email at bskinner@summer.com or apply online at www. sd67.bc.ca.

Tougher laws needed In British Columbia, the law has been on the books since January 2010, and yet there are obviously way too many people who just don’t give a darn. The distracted driving legislation prohibits the reading or sending of text messages or emails and making or receiving phone calls on a hand-held device while behind the wheel. In 2010, according to the RCMP, distracted driving was a contributing factor in 104 collision fatalities in British Columbia. Have we learned our lesson? Statistics from 2012 show the number of fatalities associated with distracted driving was about 100. Last week, the Penticton RCMP, along with detachments across the province, spent portions of four days specifically targeting distracted drivers, in private vehicles and commercial vehicles. In Penticton, RCMP officers issued 103 tickets for distracted driving. The fine for distracted driving, other than reading or sending text messages, is $167. Add three demerits if reading or sending text messages. Compared to the fines and penalties for drinking and driving, the fines for distracted driving are minimal, and given the frequency of distracted driving, it appears the fines and penalties are not serving as a deterrent. The potential consequences of distracted driving are justWESTERN as serious as drinking and drivPENTICTON ing and the fines should match. We don’t need one more person dying because someone just had to call their BFF.

End to smart meter saga in sight Despite efforts to keep the smart meter “controversy” alive by repeating imaginary health claims, the end is near. Energy Minister Bill Bennett has made what sounds like a ﬁnal offer to holdouts. You want to keep your old mechanical meter, ﬁll your boots. It’ll cost you an extra $35 a month, starting in December. If you insist on a “radio off” wireless meter, there will be a setup fee of $100 and a monthly fee of $20 to have someone collect the readings. These charges are to be reviewed by the B.C. Utilities Commission, the independent panel that smart meter opponents want to review BC Hydro’s whole smart grid project. As it happens, the BCUC recently did just that for an application by FortisBC to install wireless meters for its Okanagan and Kootenay customers. The meters were approved, and the

findings are instructive. The BCUC report notes that it received “many” complaints about smart meter signals being added to existing radio frequency (RF) sources. Some used familiar scare rhetoric about “toxic microwave Tom Fletcher radiation” that’s B.C. Views promoted by people trying to make money the safe limit.

whole wall of smart meters. Experts put up by opponents didn’t fare so well. One was Jerry Flynn, a retired Canadian Forces ofﬁcer from Kelowna who travels around taking readings, talking to elderly people about alleged hazards of meters, and making claims to the media about what he has called the single biggest threat to human health today. The BCUC found his military experience not “relevant,” and his evidence frequently “incorrect, exaggerated and/or unsubstantiated.” Then there was Curtis Bennett, who described himself as “chief science ofﬁcer” for a company called Thermoguy. He spoke on behalf of West Kootenay Concerned Citizens. In a 2012 letter to the B.C. energy ministry, Bennett warned of the danger of smart meters triggering “molecular earthquakes.” The BCUC panel wrote: “While Mr.

Bennett has an electrician’s knowledge of electrical systems, it is clear that he is unqualified to give expert opinion evidence on the health effects of RF, exposure standards for RF, engineering, physics or geological phenomena such as earthquakes.” Citizens for Safe Technology put up one Dr. Donald Maisch, who claimed to have experience with this issue in Australia. The panel noted that Maisch runs EMFacts Consultancy, and agreed with FortisBC’s argument that “Dr. Maisch’s consulting livelihood depends upon public fears and concerns about RF exposure.” Would you like this circus of quackery to be restaged over BC Hydro’s program, at your expense?

Municipal politicians not paying attention In a small municipality like Penticton it is truly amazing that the city has not become the best-governed city in North America with the strongest regional economy and highest quality of life. Penticton has everything (clean water, safe food, natural resources, festivals, a great environment, etc.) so what is going wrong? It doesn’t take long watching the local politics to see the people that are supposed to be served by the municipality and those that serve them differ on how the vision for the community is to be achieved. John Vassilaki’s decision to stay home highlights the ill-conceived decision of the remainder of council to send themselves and

Penticton should be yearround destination

I read an article and heard the radio reports Tuesday, Sept. 24 with regards to a new resort on the B.C. Place lands in Vancouver. The $535 million development proposal will add hundreds if not thousands of jobs for the coast. When is Penticton ever going to get its head out of the Okanagan Lake sand and become a real yearround resort city? Sadly, the sands blow with the constant wind of this town and the attitude we want to just be a retirement community. Give your head a shake, we easily could handle 20,000 new people in our community as we have a four-year supply of housing already available. Stop holding back progress and get on with it.

Enough with the insults

Is it just me, or is there an unusually high occurrence of personal insults appearing in The Herald recently? I am reminded of the words of Eleanor Roosevelt, “Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.” While those holding, or running for, public office should expect their ideas to be questioned either individually or collectively, I think it inappropriate to slander or libel private citizens because of their opinions. While it is OK to disagree, there is no privileged platform in libel. While I don’t necessarily agree with everyone’s opinions and openly express opinions of my own, I respect everyone’s right to have an opinion, while maintaining my right to disagree without

than something that a few self-appointed experts plan. After attending the UBCM convention, those attendees that chose to unnecessarily spend our money no doubt feel fully invigorated with all the ideas they got that will have little to do with the issues Penticton faces and the priorities of its citizens. Rather than simply doing what they want to do, Penticton’s council and the CAO should work on closing the gap between what the residents of the city want and what is currently in place and put measures in place to hold themselves accountable. It’s pretty simple to do and amazing that it’s not happening.

getting personal. I expect the same courtesy. I think it is time for the staff to edit derogatory statements about individuals because of a difference of opinion. These petty arguments detract from an otherwise credible publication and are strictly personal in nature. They should be allowed under comments to letters, or opinions, but should not be published if there purpose is solely to attack an individual. Patrick MacDonald Langley

Bikers need rules

Bikers think they own the roads, but they don’t. As a traffic participant and being confronted daily with bikers behaviour on the road I would suggest that: 1) Bikers need to have insurance, otherwise who is paying for accidents they might cause? 2) They need to take a traffic examination just like car drivers. 3) The bikes should have a license plate number for being recognized 4) They should pay an annual fee for all the road preparations which were made for them. 5) The police should watch the

A father and daughter sit down to do ecstasy together and it is just the way Penticton RCMP envisioned it. That is, sitting behind a computer clicking on the choice of whether or not Mike, a character in an interactive web story, should take them through the paces of what an evening on the drug could be like. The Mike and Vicki Project is a choose-yourown adventure story following two high school youths as they plan their weekend and attend a bush party. “A friend of my daughter’s who goes to Pen High said she and her father did ecstasy on the Mike and Vicki site. They saw what it led to and it started a conversation,” said Nikos Theodosakis, of Mind Festival Learning, who is one of the partners who created the project. “I think that was powerful to hear that it is being used that way.” The user is put in the shoes of the characters, with graphic novel images taking them through different scenarios and the viewer making choices and discovering the consequences. The goal for the project is to provide an easy-touse tool that can be a catalyst for educators, police, alcohol and drug workers, counsellors and parents to engage youth in conversation about drugs and alcohol. The scenarios that Mike and Vicki experience are drawn directly from real life situations. “If you could just pause life and consider what to do next and the potential consequences, this resource is about that. So, hopefully when

kids come to a choice in their real life they might pause enough to consider that,” said Theodosakis. The Penticton group behind www. MikeAndVicki.ca rolled out the website earlier this week after spending almost a year designing the concept and getting valuable feedback from test groups. “The teachers’ feedback was that an hour after we left, the kids were still talking about the resource. The teacher said that never happens. That told us that something is engaging them beyond the normal resource and not only do they like it and want to use it, they want to play parts in it. We knew then that we were on the right road,” said Theodosakis. Access to the website and educational information on it is all free. Already the project group has seen web traffic from across the province, Alberta, Ontario, Montreal, New York and California.

Terri Kalaski, Penticton South Okanagan Similkameen community policing co-ordinator, said she wanted to make a product RCMP could use when they go into a classroom and have at their fingertips as a resource to use with a variety of age groups and on a number of topics. “The kids using this develop a relationship with the characters. The cliché the medium is the message very much applies here. It is important this project was something kids could connect with otherwise they would blow it off,” said Kalaski. Many students in the South Okanagan go through the RCMP D.A.R.E. program and the superintendent of schools for School District 67 believes the Mike and Vicki project can be easily implemented into that. “The D.A.R.E. program sends the message around making

positive choices and the negative impacts peer pressure has. This new resource certainly falls into that and could be a useful tool for educators,” said Hyer. “I think this works because it has a certain appeal that interests kids in social media versus parents lecturing. It is a creative way to send a message.” Additionally, MikeAndVicki.ca is a rich resource for youth, adults and facilitators supplying links to further information on drugs and alcohol, relationships and mental health. It was funded through the civil forfeiture program that provided Penticton RCMP community policing service with $19,200 last year to focus on awareness for youth and parents about drugs.

Astronomers contribute to trickle down technology One of the mandates of our organization, the National Research Council, is the support and implementation of astronomical facilities and instruments for Canadian researchers. This used to be through building and operating facilities in Canada, but increasingly we are into international collaborations to provide instruments beyond the resources of single countries, at the best possible observing sites. Examples of our international projects include the now venerable but continually upgraded Canada France Hawaii Telescope, the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, the Atacama Large Millimetre Array and the Square Kilometre Array. Then there is the development of the WIDAR number cruncher as our share of the upgrading of the Very Large Array radio telescope. This is all very exciting stuff. This all sounds so far beyond the reach of the backyard astronomer that there is no point in even dreaming about it. However, if we look at how rapidly the exotic technologies associated with front-line astronomical instruments get cheaper, we see amazing possibilities for the hobby astronomer. These high-tech astronomical tools trickle down very quickly these days. Moreover, the rapid developments in the consumer sphere, for example technologies in software defined radio, trickle upwards into the research community. There are today completely automated amateur observatories that can tell when the night sky is clear, open up and observe many objects of interest, as listed beforehand, record the information digitally and then, when the sun rises, close up again, all while the observer enjoys a good night’s sleep. Such proj-

ects include measuring precisely a number of stars that vary in brightness, seeking planets orbiting other stars, or supernova explosions in distant galaxies. Two examples of technological trickle-

down would be the digital cameras intended for amateur radio telescopes. These are producing astronomical images of amazing quality. The second would be the increasing ease with which we can

record data in digital form. This means that tasks hard to do using hardware can be done easily using software. For years, professional astronomers have been able to just tell the telescope what they

wanted to observe, and the telescope would point at that object all by itself. Now you can get backyard telescopes to do that too. This trickle down and trickle up of technology between re-

searchers and the community will continue, maybe even accelerate. Prepare to be further surprised by what our cutting edge facilities are coming up with, and also what is going on out in the backyard on

clear, dark nights. Ken Tapping is an astronomer with the National Research Council’s Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory, Penticton, BC, V2A 6J9. E-mail: ken.tapping@nrc-cnrc.

United Way tees off drive Mark Brett

Western News Staff

Touching hearts without tugging on wallets is the goal of this year’s United Way campaign, which kicked off Thursday at the Ramada Inn and Suites. “We find that so many people just think about that large number and don’t think their contribution makes a difference or has an impact because the numbers seem so large,” said Marla O’Brien, executive director of the United Way Central South Okanagan Similkameen at the annual breakfast meeting. “I think the other organizations have gone away from the thermometer style of encouraging people to contribute. “Donors these days want to know what’s

actually happening with their money and we need to demonstrate that, rather than just talking about the money.” Master of ceremonies for the morning session was Mike Roberts, wellknown, former CHBC TV broadcaster who retired recently. “This morning we want to put the focus back on support and back on the impact of inviting you to participate,” said Roberts, who has been involved with United Way for over 25 years and is the longtime emcee of the OSNS Child Development Centre telethon. “We’re striving to get the participation with the United Way up a little bit. For example, if simply another one per cent of Penticton’s population participated that would be 400 people giving, volunteering and acting for the better of the community.” He added while it sounds like a small number, what could be achieved as a result of the ripple affect would be, “extraordinary.” “So this year we ask you to commit to participating,” said Roberts.

Mike RobeRts, the honorary campaign ambassador for the Central south okanagan similkameen United Way, addresses the ball at thursday’s kickoff breakfast for the current campaign at the Penticton Ramada inn. With him are some of the many volunteers who will be helping with the fundraising duties.

Those attending the breakfast also had an opportunity to hear from representatives of the agencies supported by United Way about how important the assistance is for the service they provide. Speakers included Patricia Tribe of the Suc-

cess by 6 program which works with families to help young children reach their full potential by school age. Also speaking was Myrna Tischer who is overseeing the Better at Home program which helps seniors remain in their homes longer

Dogtown in running for best of the best Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Dogtown Coffee may not have won the America’s Best Coffeehouse Competition yet, but making it into the semifinals has to count for a lot. The OK Falls café is one of six semifinalists in the western region of the international competition, rising above competitors from Alaska to Arizona and Hawaii to Saskatchewan to make the grade. Corrie Corfield, owner of Dogtown, said they entered the competition just to see what would happen, since they were already planning to attend Coffee Fest Seattle, where the semifinals and finals for the competition take place from Oct. 4-6. Gaining a spot in the semifinals was a combination of earning a high score from a secret shopper sent by the competition and voting by customers and supporters. “Every community has their little coffee shop and a place where people can come and feel at home and be inspired,” said Corfield, explaining how she opened the café just over a-year-and-a-half ago after feeling OK Falls was lacking that community meeting space. “It’s really taken off from there, we’ve got a lot of really loyal customers and people who have really gotten the concept of what we’re trying to do here,” said Corfield. “There are places you can go where you can get a quick cup of coffee. We’re not one of those places.” As much as good ingredients matter — Dogtown uses high-quality blends and roasts from Summerland’s Lone Tree Coffee — Corfield said there is more to a good cup of coffee.

Corrie Corfield, owner of Dogtown Coffee in OK Falls, will be leading a team to compete for America’s Best Coffeehouse in Seattle this October.

Steve Kidd/Western News

“You are not just selling that cup of coffee, you are selling that whole experience of getting together with a friend over a cup of coffee and connecting with someone,” said Corfield. “There is a whole social aspect to coffee that has always really intrigued me. There is a lot of science that goes behind coffee, but we are also passionate about that thing that happens between people and coffee.”

People, in terms of Dogtown Coffee, ranges from moms coming in with their babies to chat over morning coffee, seniors enjoying breakfast, work crews stopping in between jobs to workers from many of the local wineries. “We have our core group of customers, we have a lot of musicians that come because we do a jam session twice a week, so they have

been quite supportive of us,” said Corfield. “In the summertime it is a lot of tourists, just because that is where we’re at. It’s been fun, we do get a lot of everybody.” Corfield hasn’t neglected the quality of her coffee and operation, though. “It takes time. It’s a combination of the beans and the roast, so it goes all the way back to the farmer that grew the coffee. The equipment, the skill of the barista, the quality of the milk that you are using in lattes, it’s a lot of factors all coming together to make the perfect of coffee,” said Corfield. “It’s very complicated. People don’t realize that,” she said. “We did everything to the best limit we could. People are realizing that it is good quality, same thing as you would get in a city or wherever.” Corfield set herself three goals when she opened the business: quality, inspiration and community. “My husband and I live here. We’re raising our kids here in OK falls,” said Corfield. “I didn’t just want to start a business to make a paycheque, I wanted to start a business that was really going to do something for the community.” Now, along with her husband Chris and Dogtown’s chef, Karl Mancheron, she is taking that passion for coffee to what promises to be an intense competition. During the semifinals competition at Coffee Fest, duelling coffeehouse teams of three employees each will be filling roles such as barista, bar back, and greeter/cashier, who will serve attendees and judges. Three teams will be eliminated, with the final three competing on Oct. 6 for the title.

Entering Wednesday night’s tilt against the Vernon Vipers at Kal Tire Place, the Penticton Vees allowed eight goals in five games. Vees coach Fred Harbinson was very happy with how his group was playing defence, until midway through the third when the Vees gave up two goals in under five minutes to lose 3-1. The third goal was by former Vee Dexter Dancs, who finished a nice individual effort. Dancs took a drop pass from Demico Hannoun just inside the Penticton blueline, skated to the outside, cut around a D-man and patiently waited for Vees goalie Hunter Miska to make a move before hitting the empty net with five minutes remaining. “We clearly weren’t good enough. We had a team that was probably on life support and we gave them a lot of life tonight,” Vees coach Fred Harbinson told the Vernon Morning Star. The Vees were missing NHL-rated Jack Ramsey (at U.S. prospects game) and 6-foot-6 Michigan giant Blake Butzow (meningitis) on the back end. “I wasn’t happy with our D-core; they didn’t play up to par tonight so it’s back to the drawing board tomorrow,” said Harbinson, whose team is ranked 17th in the Canadian Junior Hockey League. “It’s disappointing. You never wanna lose two in a row,” said Coatta. “We obviously never played our best tonight but the great thing about it is we get to come back on Friday and get things turned around in a hurry.” The Vees, who host the Merritt Centennials in their home opener Friday, are still a work in progress according to Harbinson. “There was a lot of things that we liked about this team. You lose two in a row and a couple of guys are going have to realize that junior hockey is a long haul,” he said. “I think there was a little bit of backs being patted a little bit too much in town when we started 4-0. The nice thing is we had six in a row on the road and

we’re 4-2 and we gotta be happy. I would have taken that at the beginning of the year.” Asked about the parity of the BCHL, Coatta said they have to show up every night or they won’t win. “That’s kind of what happened tonight,” he said. “It’s a good rivalry and they showed up tonight. We’ll get a chance to get ‘em back for sure. I think our work ethic is probably the biggest thing. That’s what we wanna build our identity around. Speed too. We can still work harder.” The Vipers, who were without captain Ryan Renz, 20-year-old Josh Bryan and 20-year-old goalie Colton Sparrow, improve to 2-2-1-2. The Centennials, 3-4-0, are fresh from a 3-2 overtime win against the Vipers on Sept. 21. Leading the Centennials offensively is Jeff Wight with four goals and six points in seven games. The Cowichan Valley Capitals, 4-1-0-1, come into Penticton Saturday having lost 3-2 in overtime to the defending BCHL champion Surrey Eagles

at home. The Capitals will visit the Trail Smoke Eaters on Friday before facing the Vees. Bo Pieper leads the Capitals attack with five goals in five games, while Adam Rockwood is the leading scorer with eight points in five games. Gordie Defiel enters the weekend with a 3-0 record and a goals against average of 3.00 and .902 save percentage. The Vees will be without Butzow until October as he recovers from meningitis. He is in Detroit because he can’t be given antibiotics at home in Penticton since he’s American. Harbinson said his situation is a severe deal as he was initially quarantined. Once he’s able to return, Harbinson said he will only boost a defence. “We have extremely strong defenceman,” said Harbinson. “We have seven Division 1 defenceman. Him and (Patrick) Sexton are the only two that haven’t committed and both I think are going to be guys that will be getting scholarships before the season is out.” Before the Vees’ game

against the Vipers, they dealt forward Max Becker to the Salmon Arm SilverBacks for future considerations. Becker played in three of the Vees’ first five games and did not record a point. The trade leaves the Vees with five imports and 21 players on their roster, one below the league maximum. Vees notes: On Sept. 19, the Vees announced that forward Josh Blanchard committed to St. Cloud State University for 2015 or ‘16. “Josh has had a track record of being an offensive talent and his speed and compete level make him a special player,” said Harbinson in a statement. Blanchard, 17, is four games into his first season and recently scored his first career regular season goal against the Trail Smoke Eaters. Blanchard scored once in four playoffs games last spring as an affiliate player. The Kelowna product played last season with the Okanagan Rockets of the B.C. Major Midget League finishing with a team-best 29 goals in 39 games and was sec-

ond in team scoring with 55 points. “I’ve been talking with St. Cloud for quite some time and felt like it was the best fit,” said Blanchard, who will join former Vees Joey Benik, Joey Holka and Garret Milan currently at St. Cloud. “I’m a competitor and I want to win and they’re building something special with their hockey program.” The Canadian Junior Hockey League posted on its website that NHL Central Scouting has identified 11 CJHL Players on the preliminary list for the 2014 NHL Draft. The lists, comprised of A, B and C players for the upcoming season, are sent to NHL team scouts for the purpose of tracking the top draft-eligible players entering the 2013-2014 season. A skaters are identified as potential firstround picks, while B players are considered second or third-round candidates. C players are thought to be fourth to sixth-round possibilities. Ramsey has been listed as a B skater, while Miska is listed as a C goalie.

You wouldn’t know the Pen High Lakers senior girls’ field hockey team lost its first game Tuesday. Their body language didn’t show it. No sad faces. No heads down after a 1-0 defeat to the Kelowna Secondary School Owls at Pen High in AAA Okanagan Valley Senior Girls Field Hockey League action. There were several positives for the Lakers. “I was really pleased with the team play. I saw lots of good passing, good positional play,” said Lakers coach Shaun Johnston, who is assisted by co-coach Eva Koch. “I was really impressed with our goalie. Caroline Rahkola was really strong in net.” Rahkola made a few important saves including one on a penalty stroke she knocked to the side with her blocker. “I think I did pretty good,” said Rahkola. “They (Owls) played well. Pretty intense at some parts.”

While the Lakers weren’t able to generate a lot of offensive chances, Johnston liked the opportunities they did have. There were a few close calls and they created opportunities from penalty corners. One late in the game missed the net by about a foot. “Just a little fine-tuning on that,” said Johnston. “Hopefully we can pop one next time.” What impressed Johnston against the Owls, whom she described as solid and physically strong, was that her players hustled. Teammates supported each other and some displayed their individual skills. Johnston has seen improvement over the last three weeks. “I thought we contained them really well,” said Johnston. “They had a lot of pressure, but they didn’t really get many scoring chances.” Prior to Tuesday’s game, the Lakers returned from a tournament in Oliver where they went 3-1. After opening with a 1-0 loss to Castlegar’s Stanley Humphries Secondary School Rockettes, the Lakers defeated Surrey’s

Clayton Heights Secondary Nightriders 4-0 on Saturday. Sarah Kirschmann, Ginger Herbert, Anna Jo Grandbois and Merle Schrader provided the offence. Herbert scored both goals in a 2-1 win against Agassiz. In their final game, the Lakers faced Southern Okanagan Secondary School White and won 2-0. Kirschmann and Grandbois scored, while Sterling King earned the shutout. Johnston said the Oliver tournament gave them games against even competition. The Lakers were able to work the ball at both ends and came together as a team. “It helped boost our confidence,” said Rahkola. “We knew what we were capable of.” The Lakers next league game is in South Kamloops against the Titans. Johnston said with the playing surface being turf, having the players spread out will be important as the ball moves quickly. “They are also strong so we’ll have to be disciplined about our positioning and defend really well,” she said.

Osoyoos wrapping up drag race season Western News Staff

Wine Country Racing Association is hosting its last event of the 2013 season, Rumble in the Valley, on Oct. 13 at Richter Pass Motorplex in Osoyoos.

Time trials begin at 11 a.m. Final elimination rounds start at 1 p.m. Concessions and grand stands are available on site.

Lakers cooled in Ice Breaker Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

The Pen High Lakers were cooled down during their senior boys’ Ice Breaker volleyball tournament. Things didn’t go as hoped. The Lakers finished fifth out of eight teams after defeating George Elliott in their final game. Lakers coach Paul Smith said he was disappointed, saying pressure is an important factor. “We just haven’t learned how to deal with the pressure,” said Smith, whose team lost to city rivals Princess Margaret Mustangs, a club that defeated NorKam (Kamloops) for third place. Against George Elliott, Smith said the team played well. “We executed, served well, dug some balls,” he said. “They were very confident in their abilities and they went out and played that way.” The Lakers are making adjustments to a new system as they don’t have any middle blockers. That is something Smith expects to clear up. “It’s a huge learning curve,” he said. “We have to take two players and develop them into middles very quickly. “We do have depth. That is a plus,” continuted Smith, whose team lost to Mt. Boucherie Tuesday evening 25-15,

25-12, 25-23 then travel to Abbotsford for a tournament at Mennonite Educational Institute this week. As for the Mustangs, coach Bo Boxall liked his group’s finish. Opening day wasn’t good, but the Mustangs turned things around Saturday. Boxall said the reason is they didn’t make the same mistakes. “It was nice to see our boys come out and beat NorKam in the bronze-medal game after losing to them the day before,” he said. “Norkam is very scrappy. They aren’t as deep as other AAA teams, but they never quit on any balls. Our guys were forced to stay focused on every point.” With this being the Mustangs’ first tournament, Boxall wanted his players to get touches on the ball. He praised Lakers coaches Smith and Paul Mend for scheduling several games for the teams. “Aside from Josh Ryan, our entire team is made up of Grade 11s,” he said. “The jump from junior level to senior

level is huge. The speed of the game is the biggest change, so having our guys get six matches in was critical for our development.” Boxall liked the athleticism and hustle his players showed. Lacking in experience and depth, they made up for it with those two factors. “In every match this year we want teams to leave the court thinking that was one of the toughest matches they’ve played all year,” said Boxall. “If we can do that, win or lose, we’ve been successful.” Having a strong weekend for the Mustangs was Spencer Kingzett, who was consistent and provided a calm presence in the back row. Boxall was also impressed by Duncan Woods’ ability to adjust to the game. Woods didn’t play last year and proved to be a huge asset in the middle. Kelowna Secondary School defeated Mt. Boucherie 2-1 to win the tournament. Seventh and eighth place went to Vernon Secondary and Fulton Secondary, also of Vernon, respectively.

YOUR HEALTH President’s own story: 15 years ago I started to have arthritis, prostate, kidney, snoring and sleep apnea problems, which were all helped quickly with natural health products. I made it my life’s purpose to help others. Nick A. Jerch

ARTHRITIS

NPN 80042283 Helps to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis.

Truthful actual experiences from real people:

< For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage #1 spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON <My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA<I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON<For 32 years I cried barrels of tears. Was in and out of hospitals costing society tens of thousands of dollars. I have taken many thousands of pills that nearly killed me. Finally 3 bottles of Bell Shark Cartilage costing less than $100 stopped a lifetime of suffering without side effects. Eleanor Sauson, Shigawake, QC <I suffered for years with sciatica. I tried everything and finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. After this experience I realised I could help #1 many of those 5 million Canadian that suffer every day and night and I started to sell this same type of shark cartilage and helped hundreds of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle Products. <Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night”…hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away byproduct of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

SNORING?

by SLEEP AsDr. recommended Gifford-Jones M. D. 80027595 Helps to APNEA? NPN reduce the time it takes to

What people truly experience: In most cases also stops snoring and gasping

fall asleep

for air (sleep apnea) first night. Stops torturing your partner all night. Good sleep prevents being tired next day. Tired people work only at half capacity.< I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS < For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS <It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or #23 stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

Allergies

are a modern epidemic

NPN 80043542. Provides source of antioxidants. Holy basil is traditionally used in Ayurveda as an expectorant to help relieve respiratory catarrh (inflammation of respiratory tract mucus membranes). By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.

What people experience: <I tried numerous other remedies all my life that were not effective. Since I discovered #24. I do not have a stuffy nose and itchy eyes when pollen season comes around. I don’t have to walk around like a doped zombie anymore. Leonard Waldner, 44, Delia, AB < For 20 years my life was miserable with sneezing, watery eyes and sinus pressure year-round on most days. I was amazed. On 3rd day all allergies were gone. It was like magic. Becky Gerber, 25, Dover, OH <Golfing without allergy attacks I tried all the medications and none worked. After taking 1 capsule in the morning I’m completely free of all symptoms. Richard Gamez, 74, San Antonio, TX <God bless you I went from doctor to doctor for years with #24 allergy sinus problems. The medications made me still sicker. After starting Bell Allergy Relief one capsule at night I felt like born again the next morning. Therese Noto, 58, New York, NY.

Bladder & Yeast Infection

NPN License #80038535 A diuretic to help relieve mild urinary tract infections. True success stories by women: <Bladder & Yeast Infection #31 works within a day or two! My experience in the last 4 years is that whenever I feel symptoms of an infections I take two capsules for a day or two and the infection is gone. I love this product. Pat Pearce, 53, Brantford, ON < 30 years of bladder infections gone! For 30 years my doctor prescribed antibiotics. As soon as the medication finished the next bladder infection came back. After 2 days taking Bell # 31 I noticed a complete relief of my infection I had all these 30 years. God bless you all for helping all of us women. Emell Whitaker, 69, Bronx, NY < Bladder infections kept on coming back. Since starting Bell Bladder & Yeast Infection #31 my infection was gone and I now take it from time to time for prevention and I have no more bladder or yeast infections. I told family and friends how good Bell products are. Thank you! Maria Racz, 60, Vancouver, BC <Went to the bathroom 10 times in an hour #31 and more frequently at night!. In the last 2 years I went a number of times to the doctor and got different antibiotics and none of them worked. My urination would burn enormously. I bought your Bell Bladder & Yeast infection #31. I can now work all day or sleep all night without getting up to go to the bathroom. I am not afraid anymore to drink water when I am thirsty. Praise the Lord! Thank you! Harriett Priester, 60, North Charleston, SC

#70

< For the last 7-8 years I had inflammation in my spine L4 & L5, back and neck muscles that was unbearable and almost crippled me. After starting #70 for 30 days it gave me relief like a miracle. Most pain has disappeared and I can function again. Heather Tremblay, 53, Medicine Hat, AB < Had “Charlie horses” bumps on my legs that were very painful. I tried everything. After taking #70 the bumps diminished and I had no more pain. Mary Griego, 67, Tijeras, NM <I had shingles for 30 years.

Duo feeling the beat to inspire others to read Kristi Patton Western News

At just five years old, Penticton’s Damien Evans has a bit of a star quality about him. Not one to shy away from showing off his dance moves, Evans is the main character in a children’s book written by his father. “I think kids will like it because they like dancing,” said Evans. “My dad is teaching me in the book and I like learning different moves.” His dad, Jake Evans, is well known in the Okanagan as a hip hop instructor with Jake Evans Dance Instruction (JEDI), together they have published Feelin’ The Beat - dancing hip hop with Jake and Damien. While it gives the younger Evans a chance to shine, it also fulfills a dream for Jake. “I love teaching kids so this fit right in with that. It is not just inspiring kids to read but also to get up and dance and to be active,” said Jake. “ He had the idea for a children’s book involving dance a few years ago, but with a busy schedule it was put on the back burner. That is, until Jake received some encouragement from Raise-A-Reader volunteer Jasmine John-Thorpe. With their financial backing, and partner Valley First Credit Union, Jake got local artist Endrené Shepherd to shoot some photos of his son and him doing some dance moves. “Even if we stopped there I would have been cool with it because the photos were so great. But, I started putting them in order for an actual dance and made kind of a comic book out of it. Then Endrené came in and made these great illustrations,” said Jake, adding that An-

Jake evans (right) and his son Damien Evans teamed up to create a children’s book called Feelin’ The Beat - dancing hip hop with Jake and Damien to inspire kids to not only read but to be active. At top right: Okanagan Falls Grade 1 students Kaydon Lemon leaps in the air and Aiden Hutchison (in front) breaks it down during Evans’s school visit on Thursday.

Joe Fries/Western news

gela Hook designed the book. Now with the book in hand, Jake and Damien have been touring local schools reading to kids and getting them dancing. Jake said he hopes it doesn’t stop there. “I want these kids to take it home and read it with their parents

and grandparents. Anybody can do these moves and they are really simple by design. My goal is to go right across the country with this in dance studios and schools and maybe even some spinoff books,” he said. In turn, he hopes to ignite a pas-

sion for kids to try dancing. In a way it is paying it forward for the instructor. He recalls the first time he was ever introduced to breakdancing when some older youths came to his school and were breaking, popping and doing the robot. “I was in Halifax and the farthest away you could be from any of that kind of culture. It blew my mind and was so profound, but in my small community no one was adventurous enough to try it and, to be honest, it wasn’t really seen as cool for guys to be dancing at that time unless it was a traditional cultural type of dance. It was always stuck in my head though,” said Jake. It wasn’t until he was 27 that Jake questioned why, as a drummer that keeps rhythm for a whole band, he couldn’t dance. Behind closed doors in his bedroom and living room he began practicing. “I then went to Los Angeles for

an intensive workshop and these guys armed me with the funk. Everything I was doing up until then was stiff and not right. They had this groove that I was missing and when I went back home people noticed a difference and started to seek me out for instruction. That was the start of a huge urban dance scene I started there,” said Jake. For the past seven years, Jake has been growing that scene in Penticton through his JEDI classes. His son naturally took to it, learning all the moves his dad does. “There was no pressure on him to dance. I do it for fun, the art and the way it makes me feel and so does Damien. Now I am still teaching dance, have a great son, a new book and I couldn’t be more excited,” said Jake.

Jill Leir-Salter is well-known for her landscapes, so when Tumbleweed Gallery owner Prema Harris came upon something different she knew it needed to be hung. Stuffed in a drawer in LeirSalter’s Kaleden studio, Harris found treasures of the 89-year-old artists work. “I was determined to do watercolour figures that started with a pencil. I had to make sure I had the shadows and with water it is not easy because it is running all over the place and you have to control it,” said Leir-Salter. Dozens of her life figures were uncovered from what she calls an “experiment” almost a decade ago. The artist said with landscapes, she usually starts with a sudden visual impact and that develops into a strong emotion that demands a challenge. The challenge is then life and food for the imagination. Much is the same in the exercise of doing still life. “I was determined to challenge

myself by doing the figures in watercolour. Sometimes you would turn them over and use the other side of the paper to start over again,” said Leir-Salter. “There might be a surprise on the other side of some of these pieces.” Some of the framed watercolours are for sale at the Tumbleweed Gallery, and a few are hanging at Kindrie Grove’s studio. The artists true love is working in the open air. Leir-Salter was born and raised in Penticton as one of 11 children. Her family home, now known as the Leir House Cultural Centre, was at one time surrounded by 10 acres of pine trees and bunch grass. Living so close to the natural environment left a strong impression on her as a child. “I love space and seeing as far as the eye can see. I love clouds and I often feel as though I was inside a cloud,” she said. Leir-Salter admitted she could never imagine seeing her work hanging in galleries or even selling for that matter. “There was a sale one spring out in Naramata where people had their jams and jellies and I

had a painting for sale. Someone bought it for $25, I thought gee I better do some more. I’m sure they were just sorry for me,” she joked. As an adult, with six children of her own, Leir-Salter said she moved 12 times from across Canada to the U.K. “Any place I moved to I would take in lessons. I suppose that helped in my art meeting all those different people and seeing all those different locations,” she said. “The Okanagan though is beautiful country to paint in because of the beautiful light. There is this vapour so the colours are pastel and fairly light. It makes you seem as though you are looking through it and you have to learn a lot about making your own colours instead of buying them. It makes you think and have to plan.” Her schooling in Fine Arts also included two semesters at Okanagan College. Her paintings hang in many private collections, juried art shows, the B.C. Festival of the Arts and one of her pieces was selected to hang in the Parliament buildings in Ottawa in 2008.

Widmer’s current work uses ageold image making techniques, that are very time intensive, to offer something quietly provocative in contrast to the instantly available digital image of the 21st century. Her work is on display in the project room of the art gallery until Nov. 3. Widmer, whose studio is in Kelowna, is hosting a second walk and talk on Oct. 23 at 2 p.m. Kristi Patton/ Western News

SWALES

John Edwin (Ted) March 13, 1924 - September 24, 2013

The cornerstone of our family passed away early Tuesday morning after a short battle with cancer. Ted leaves behind a multitude of friends, three generations of family and his wife Kathy. Proud to call him Dad are Murray (Linda) Swales, Marilyn (Rick) Hanson and Stan (Karen) Swales. He was Grandpa (or Grapes) to Carey Swales, Erin (Chris) Paul, Michael (Meaghan) Swales, Chris (Amanda) Swales, Colin Swales, Kevin Swales, Matt Hanson, Ryan Hanson and Krista (Jason) Colford. Dad was also a loving great-grandfather to Sebastian, Meryckx, Alaula, Jade, Caedyn, Taegen and Johnathan. In addition, his regular telephone calls will be missed by the multitude of nieces and nephews from across the country and friends around the world. Ted was born in Kaleden, B.C. to one of the area’s pioneer families. He had an adventuresome childhood growing up in Kaleden among his many aunts, uncles and cousins in the King and Robertson families. His parents, his extended family in Kaleden and growing up in the 30’s were lifetime influences on him. He graduated from Pen Hi in 1942 and went on to graduate from the Ontario Agricultural College (now the University of Guelph) in 1947 with a Degree in Agriculture. It was in Guelph that Ted met Catherine (Cay) Ross and was married to her in the fall of 1947. Ted spent the next 33 years working for the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture in Nelson, Creston and Penticton, retiring from government service in 1979 as the Provincial Apple Specialist. The next ten years were spent as a horticultural consultant for the Okanagan Similkameen Cooperative in Oliver. Although it was disappointing to fruit growers in the area Ted retired for good early in 1989. Ted and Cay enjoyed the next twenty years of retirement travelling and visiting with family and friends until Cay’s death in 2008. In early 2010 Kathy Buchowsky entered Ted’s life and they were married in the summer of 2010. When asked about the short courtship Kathy responded “at our age there is no time for courting”. Dad and Kathy enjoyed three great years together. Kathy has been an endless source of love, joy and support for Dad, particularly in the past year. A Memorial Service to celebrate Ted’s life will be held on Saturday, October 5, 2013 at 1:30PM at the Penticton United Church, 696 Main Street, Penticton, BC. A reception will be held immediately afterward in the church hall. In memory of Ted, a donation to a worthy cause of your choice, would be appreciated; or in recognition of his and his family’s significant contribution to the history of Kaleden you could consider a donation for the development of a Kaleden Museum (make cheques payable to Kaleden Community Association (Museum), PO Box 9, Kaleden, B.C. V0H 1K0), or to Penticton & District Hospice Society, C/O Moog & Friends Hospice House, PO Box 1105, Penticton, BC, V2A 6J9.

Patricia L.

Patti passed away peacefully at home on Sept 19/13 after a lengthy battle with cancer surrounded by her family. Patti was an exceptional loving and caring person who touched the hearts of many. She was the loving wife to John for 45 years and the best mother to daughter Allison Peck (Mark) and sons John–Paul (Barb) and Jamie (Melissa), as well as 6 grandchildren. Patti is also survived by sisters Susan McGregor, Catherine MacInnes and brother Scott McGregor (Hayley). Patti worked for 23 years at the Penticton Public Library where she made many lifelong friends. Our heartfelt thank you goes out to Dr. Caskey for his care and compassion during this journey. For the hard working, cheerful nurses in Oncology, you made Patti’s treatments more than bearable. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Oncology Dept. at the Penticton Regional Hospital c/o SOS Medical Foundation (250492-9027).
