A whole new dimension in hearing technology

People living outside the city of Penticton will continue to pay the same rates for recreation services as residents, after council voted Monday to reject the concept of tiered pricing.

The idea of charging a premium rate for users of the city’s recreation facilities who live outside the city and not paying into the municipal taxes that build and support them, has been bandied about for years, with Coun. John Vassilaki as one of its most ardent supporters.

But after hearing a report from Chuck Loewen, Penticton’s general manager for facilities and recreation services, showing possible revenue losses with tiered pricing, council voted to retain the current pricing structure.

Back in 2010, Penticton developed a tiered pricing model but asked, through the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen, that other participating communities chip in tax dollars instead. The RDOS rejected the proposal.

“West Bench was the only exception to this decision and provided, and continues to provide, the city with $20,000 in annual support,” said Loewen.

Tiered pricing wasn’t implemented and in 2011, Penticton city staff brought forward a report comparing the tiered pricing with a loyalty club model, which was launched in February 2013.

That loyalty club, Loewen said, was a better model for increasing revenue and decreasing the need for a city subsidy of recreation facilities. Even though it was launched quietly, he said, it is already effective.

“The launch of this club has produced more than 215 members in less than six months and an additional $8,500 in rev-

“Through promotion and expansion of offerings and options marketed to existing and potential members, and developing sophistication with exclusive offerings and rewards to members, increased use and activity will increase revenues and reduce subsidies.”

Vassilaki, who brought forward a motion earlier this year asking staff to prepare the cost-benefit analysis, was disappointed with the result of the vote.

“I disagree enormously with the losses that you are predicting … if we go to a two-tier system,” said Vassilaki. “I believe that it is not fair for our taxpayers to pay for other people’s recreation that do not contribute to our city.

“I think the citizens of Penticton deserve better. I think they are paying for other citizens to come and use our facilities.”

Coun. Helena Konanz also spoke in support of tiered pricing, questioning why the report was based on a minimum 25 per cent premium for non-ratepayers.

Other cities, she said, worked more in the 10 per cent range.

“The point is, it is respect to our taxpayers. It doesn’t have to be an incredible amount, just something to show that the taxpayers in Penticton are treated a little different than the people who don’t pay taxes in this city,” said Konanz.

Mayor Garry Litke, however, felt that the recreation department was being successful with the direction they were following, with revenues climbing and city subsidy dropping.

“Obviously that place is getting used more than we intended and it is showing in the numbers,” said Litke.

Council voted 5-2 in favour of maintaining the existing pricing structure, with Vassilaki and Konanz opposed.

General manager duties to be handed over to specialists Joe Fries

Western News Staff

A key staff member has been cast out of the Challenge Penticton family.

General manager Barb Haynes was let go last week by the non-profit Penticton Triathlon Race Society, which operates the annual multi-sport event.

Society president Paulette Rennie said Haynes was hired on a one-year contract that was due to expire later this year, but board members wanted to get started immediately on remaking the race for 2014.

“We looked at it and decided that we really need to identify new staff that had specific skills to manage different work streams, rather than have someone try to general manage,” Rennie said.

She noted the board has not decided how many new people it may need to hire, just that it likely needs some specialists.

“We need experts in different areas, like in the race area, in the marketing area, in the sponsorship area, rather than have a generalist,” she said.

“Barb did a great job. She’s a professional, she did a great job for us, but it’s not the role we need,” Rennie added.

Haynes, who could not be reached for comment, left her position as executive director of the Downtown Penticton Association in December 2012 to take the job with Challenge.

Rennie also confirmed the society has not renewed the short-term contract of race director Laura Carleton, although she didn’t rule out hiring back Carleton once

the reorganization is complete.

Mayor Garry Litke said he read about the society’s reason for restructuring in a newspaper article and is content with the board’s decision.

“The board was appointed by the city.

They’re all very competent individuals,” he said.

“They deal with their employees as they see fit. We don’t interfere with that process at all.”

The City of Penticton obtained the Challenge brand licence from the European Challenge Family for an undisclosed sum and then assigned it to the society.

Just shy of 1,400 people registered for this past summer’s triathlon, about half the number who participated in the final Ironman Canada in 2012.

Rennie declined to reveal how many athletes have registered so far for the 2014 edition of Challenge Penticton.

“We want to keep our registration numbers and financial numbers to ourselves at this point in time,” she said, “because it’s a competitive environment to get people to come to Penticton and join the Challenge race instead of any other long-distance races.”

Next year’s Challenge Penticton is scheduled for Aug. 24, while the Ironman Canada race in Whistler goes July 27.

Ministry lays out plans for future prison Most of initial staffing at prison will come from other correctional institutions Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Though it’s a huge project, when the new provincial prison planned for Oliver opens, its 348 inmates will be just a drop in the bucket.

Officials from the Ministry of Justice visited the South Okanagan this week with a triple mission: update local governments and individuals on the status of the South Okanagan correctional facility, talk about jobs and contract opportunities, and explain just what the corrections branch is about.

“We don’t do a very good job of explaining what we do and how we do it. That is one of our goals over the next two years, to have the communities understand (operations at the correctional centre),” said Brent Merchant, assistant deputy minister at the Ministry of Justice.

“People generally have this

view of jails as something that you see on TV. They are not that way.”

On any given day, there are 2,500 people in jail in B.C., and a further 22,000 serving their sentence in communities, Merchant told Penticton city council and the small audience gathered in council chambers for the presentation.

More than half, 56 per cent, are mentally ill or have substance abuse problems, he continued.

Domestic violence and property crimes account for about half the reasons for incarceration, along with 10 per cent for sex-related offences.

It’s those kind of figures that cause Lorraine Stephenson some concern.

She is trying to gather information through freedom of information requests, and though she received very little information so far, one response indicated the Justice Ministry didn’t assess affects on the region’s health care or social service agencies.

“We live in a region here with low income levels, low education levels, our social services are already very strapped. To me that seems like a very serious omission,” said Stephenson.

Merchant said the Oliver facility is expected to have little effect on local resources, both emergency services and health-related, which he said is mostly dealt with internally.

“Correctional centres do not consume huge amounts of time from the work of the local detachments,” said Merchant. “We’re not a drain on the medical side of the equation, we’re not taking things away from community members.”

“This is a huge experiment and I think it needs more explanation,” said Stephenson, who wasn’t satisfied with the responses she got.

“When this project was announced down in Oliver, there was a great big sign saying jobs and open government. It’s been anything but open government.”

Doug Pichette wanted to know how many jobs were going to be available to the residents of the Okanagan.

“Are you going to bring people in from other institutions?” asked Pichette.

How many actual … local jobs are going to be available?”

Merchant estimated that about 55 to 60 per cent of the staff would be experienced people transferred in from other correctional centres.

“We would never open up a centre with 245 rookies. It would spell a lot of problems,” he said, adding that they also want to hire locally.

“What we are planning on doing is to keep coming back to the Okanagan area to work with people now to inform them what they need to do to be successful for applying for a job at this correctional centre.

“The last thing we want to have happen is when we open the centre to have someone come up and say to us, ‘If I had only known this, I would have done something to get a job.’”

As staff ages out, Merchant said the aim would be to replace them locally.

“Pretty much 100 per cent of the replacement staff will be hired from the local area. We want to be community partners, we don’t want to be outsiders that people don’t like,” he said.

While jobs at the prison won’t be happening until mid-2016, the corrections branch is also helping local contractors and individuals access work during the construction phase of the facility, collect-

ing information on local resources though the overall proponent won’t be announced until January 2014.

“We have partnered with the South Okanagan Chamber of Commerce to develop a mechanism that provides job seekers and contractors direct access to the contract opportunities as they materialize,” said Mike Houle of Partnerships B.C. Local contractors and job seekers can register themselves through the business registry.

That information is then provided to the three teams still vying for the 30-year contract for the facility.

“These teams are as interested in this information as local job seekers and contractors are.

“Having direct access to local information, skills and capacities, locally-resourced and locally-held has great importance,” he said.

“There is a good deal of opportunity here, just as a consequence of a project of this size coming to your community,” said Houle.

The business registry can be accessed through www.sochamber.ca.

More information on qualifying for a job at the facility itself is available at www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/ corrections.

ATV legislation stuck in the mud with government tinkering Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Although some local politicians support the B.C. government’s plan to require all-terrain vehicle owners to licence their rides, a longawaited registration system appears to be stuck in the mud.

At the urging of Director Angelique Wood, the board of the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen agreed last week to write a letter to the provincial government to affirm its support for a system that would require identifiable number plates be attached to the machines.

“The licensing of allterrain vehicles will create a

resource or a tool to be able to monitor who’s going out and doing what,” explained Wood, who represents rural Keremeos and Hedley.

She told colleagues the idea of a support letter stemmed partly from a presentation she heard from the leader of a conservation group who spoke about the challenge of policing unidentifiable ATV riders who cause damage in the back country.

Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer said he likes the idea of licensing ATVs, but noted there are still a lot of unknowns.

“Does that mean if you buy one you have to licence it? What about if you’re a rancher and you have

tenure on Crown land?” said Bauer, who’s also an RDOS director.

“Is it just a bank cheque, and as soon as you buy it you have to licence it or you can’t drive?”

Wood said she’s been told the B.C. government is still hashing out those details.

Those involved in the process have had difficulty maintaining traction.

In November 2009, the B.C. government issued a press release in which former tourism minister Kevin Krueger announced that “rules for off-road vehicle registration and licensing, helmet use, youth safety and environmental measures will be implemented over the next

Manfred Bauer two years.”

Brennan Clarke, a spokesman for the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource

Operations, confirmed this week the government is still committed to the plan, but he offered no timeline for its enactment.

“This is a complex issue.

The ministry is seeking solutions that are fair to all user groups and it’s essential to take the time to get it right,” he said in a statement.

“There remain some unresolved issues raised by stakeholders, including the need for improved enforcement tools and keeping potential costs for registration as low as possible,” Clarke explained.

“We will continue to work with stakeholders and will introduce legislation when the issues are resolved.”

Dennis Webb, who represents South Okanagan ATV clubs as first vicepresident of the Quad Riders ATV Association of B.C., said his group has provided input on the licensing plan, which it supports because it will not only make riders more accountable but also help block the resale of stolen machines.

He believes taxation issues and ICBC’s readiness to handle registration and licensing have also stalled the framework’s passage into law, as did the cancellation of the fall sitting of the B.C legislature.

“I strongly think that it will be happening in the spring session next year,” he said.

Sex-ed just fine without dedicated teacher Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Seventeen months after a controversial budget decision to go forward without a sexual-education teacher, the head of the local school board stands by the move.

“I’m very comfortable with the decision that was made,” said Ginny Manning, chairwoman of the board of the Okanagan Skaha School District, which received an update on changes to the program at its Monday meeting.

“Schools have worked through some of the potential issues that were picked up, and worked together to develop a program that covers the learning outcomes.”

Lessons related to sexual health for all Grades 4-10 students were once delivered primarily by a single teacher, whom the school board chose not to replace following her retirement prior to the 2012-13 session.

To save money, trustees instead tasked principals with ensuring delivery of the required material to their students. The decision met with criticism from some students, parents, educators and community groups who worried kids and teachers would be uncomfortable discussing the subject matter with people they see every day.

Trustees then asked for a report following the first year under the new model.

“Elementary schools seemed pretty self-sufficient. They were used to doing this themselves anyway,” said the district’s director of instruction and curriculum, Don MacIntyre, who provided the report to the board.

“Our middle schools were a little bit anxious when we started, because for some of them it was new, and same for our high schools.”

MacIntyre said a healthy schools co-ordinator helped principals identify teaching resources available online and in the community.

“Some schools used their in-house counsellors to address it, some schools used teachers that had previous training, and some used a combination of those two things, plus the availability of special experts in the field who could come in and do guest presentations,” he explained.

Two high schools hired outside help to speak to kids.

Learning outcomes ranged from teaching Grade 4 students about the physical changes they can expect at the onset of puberty to explaining elements of healthy relationships to Grade 10 students.

“By and large, (principals) were much happier with the newer model because it made use of existing personnel, which meant that the relationships with students were ongoing,” MacIntyre said.

Trustee Linda Beaven praised MacIntyre for his “thorough” report.

“I think it answers a lot of questions that parents were asking about how the material is being delivered,” she said.

Appetite for perfection.

Wade property demolition put on hold Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Neighbours of 555 Wade Ave. East will have to wait a bit longer to see the long-standing eyesore completely taken care of.

Rick Appleton, representing property owners Ming Leung and Shun Yi Chen, has taken some steps to clean up the property, and the city has extended the original 30-day deadline.

“Given there has been some movement, moving forward with some of the remediation efforts, staff feel it is reasonable to extend,” said Anthony Haddad, director of development services.

“What we’re recommending is postponing it so the owners or the representative can complete further remediation, complete the engineering review and complete the demolition of the building or apply for a vacant building permit.”

An engineering review is required to assess the stability of the slope above the house and an existing retaining wall that is failing. Council voted to postpone taking action on the property until Nov. 18.

Appleton said he is getting estimates for demolishing the house, which he thinks is the likely course of action.

“I think both parties (the city and the owners) know that is the end result,” said Appleton.

“And their taxes will go down.

“Their taxes are up because it is zoned as a duplex that is uninhabitable.”

The city has been trying to get the property taken care of since 2008, filing unsightly property offences and trying to communicate with the owners.

In July 2013, RCMP paid a visit as well, recovering stolen property that was being stored at the house.

Appleton, a local realtor, said a language barrier accounts for part of the problem. He is now

using an interpreter.

“I am dealing through someone who speaks fluent Chinese, but he also speaks good English,” he said. “There are also some legal issues happening behind the scenes, some lawsuits regarding a potential sale that was happening a few years ago.”

Though he only recently took the listing for the house, Appleton said he has been involved with the property on and off for years.

Silent spring, silent minister On the list of things humans need to lead a happy life, surely a well manicured, green lawn must be near the very bottom of the list.

Yet, here we are, more than 50 years after Rachel Carson stunned the world with the publication of her book, Silent Spring, and the use of cosmetic pesticides continues.

Earlier this week, the B.C. Liberal government trumpeted changes to the rules regulating the use of cosmetic pesticides.

The bottom line is the changes still permit the use of cosmetic pesticides.

Why allow the use of cosmetic pesticides?

For a province brimming with green, weedfree, pest-free lawns?

Why ban the use of cosmetic pesticides?

Because the evidence is mounting that the use of pesticides, including herbicides can increase the risk of cancer, from leukemia and lymphomas to brain cancer, lung cancer, kidney cancer and a few more.

A study by Bassil et al., published in 2007 in the Canadian Family Physician, reviewed the scientific literature on the potential effects of pesticides on human health.

Based on the review, the authors recommended a reduction in the use of pesticides, and based on the results of the study, the Ontario College of Family Physicians recommended everyone, especially children and pregnant women reduce exposure to pesticides.

The Union of B.C. Municipalities, led by PENTICTON then mayor ofWESTERN Kamloops, Terry Lake, passed a resolution supporting a ban on the sale and use of cosmetic pesticides.

Today, Lake is minister of health.

What happened to the vision?

What happened to the conviction?

Silent spring, silent minister.

The U.S. government is not broke A salient feature of American exceptionalism is the belief that the United States can never be ordinary.

If it is not the best, then it must be the worst. If it is not destined to dominate the world forever, then it is doomed to decline and decay.

This kind of thinking explains why much of the commentary in the United States about the recent shut-down of the U.S. government, and also about the impending default on the national debt (due on Oct. 17), has started at hysterical and quickly geared up to apocalyptic.

Americans have lost the mandate of heaven, and it will soon be raining frogs and blood.

So everybody take your tranquilizer of choice (mine’s a double scotch), and let’s consider what is actually going on here.

The United States is the world’s oldest democratic country, with an 18th-century constitution that is bound to be an awkward fit for 21st-century politics.

But that hasn’t

stopped the United States from becoming the world’s biggest economy and its greatest power.

Has something now gone fundamentally wrong?

The problem lies in congress, specifically in the House of Representatives, where the Republican majority is refusing to pass the budget, and threatening not to raise the official debt ceiling either, unless President Barack Obama postpones the implementation of his bill extending medical care to all Americans.

The Affordable Care Act was passed by both houses of Congress and signed into law

by Obama almost four years ago.

Last year it passed scrutiny by the Supreme Court, and was subsequently welcomed by a majority of the voters in the presidential election, so Obama is understandably refusing to yield to blackmail.

But the House Republicans seem mysteriously unworried by the fact that the public blames them for the impending train wreck. Why? Because 80 per cent

the Tea Party.

If it decides to mount a challenge to an incumbent in the Republican primary elections, the far-right challenger will be lavishly funded by the Tea Party’s wealthy supporters, and that may mark the end of the Gwynne Dyer incumbent’s political Dyer Straits career.

So the Republicans in the House of of the Republicans Representatives, even in the House of those generally open Representatives don’t to compromise, are have to worry about keeping their heads what the general public down for fear of thinks. angering the Tea Party.

They represent That means it is Congressional possible (though not districts that have probable) that the Oct. been so shamelessly 17 deadline will be gerrymandered by missed, and the U.S. state legislatures that government will be it is almost impossible forced to default on its for anybody who is a debt.

There would certainly be turmoil in the markets: many people would lose money, and some would gain.

But it would not be a repeat of the crash of 2009, when it was suddenly understood that huge amounts of the mortgage debt held by banks could never be repaid.

The U.S. government can still pay its debts; it just has to get Congress’s permission first. And the markets, while prone to panic, are not completely stupid.

It wouldn’t hurt to put some controls on election spending as well, so that rich ideologues had less influence over the political process.

But that is merely desirable; ending the gerrymandering is absolutely essential.

It will take time, but this is a problem that can be fixed.

And in the meantime, the U.S. government is not really going broke.

Paintball guns the solution to deer troubles It upsets me, and many others, that the collective intellect of our elected and non-elected officials (here, there and everywhere) continue to rationalize that the best way to deal with our deer “problem” is to cull them to reduce their numbers in our midst.

This ongoing bravado from cowardly individuals suggests that killing deer is the paramount means for protecting our precious gardens and beloved pets and that their presence is not desired or admired by most citizens. I assert these are wrong!

Given that public officials create more hardship for citizens than deer do, should we extrapolate that culling is the best way to deal with them also?

Deer are majestic, intelligent creatures and we cannot assert we are superior to them; we kill our own kind.

We should be honoured that they find us safe enough to live with.

Their presence among us has been exacerbated by several factors.

First, the presence of their natural predators, like wolves and coyotes, is not prominent within city limits. Second, they realize human predators will not hunt them within city limits.

Third, as farms and orchards have been increasingly protected and fenced, the fallen fruit has been denied them while

Climate change is real

(re: Latest report confirms climate change a hoax, Letters, Western news, Oct. 4) Before I refer to Mr. Sturhahn’s letter, I wish to thank you for your paper’s sponsorship of the local movie event in Penticton (through the local art gallery).

Thanks to your sponsorship I was able to see a film I had long awaited.

It never entered local theatres to my knowledge and it has not yet been released on DVD, namely the film Before Midnight.

It’s not necessarily a film for everyone but it is part of a series of films that I enjoy and relate to, so thank you for making it possible for me to see it at the local Landmark theatre.

Now as for Mr. Sturhahn’s letter about the climate change hoax, what is his master’s degree in, may I ask, or does he have any scientific training or knowledge at all?

I admit, the whole global warming agenda has made its mistakes such as referring to global warming rather than just adverse global climate change. I think almost anyone who pays attention to such things would note that there are times of unseasonably warm, hot or cold weather and there is unexpected snowfall or longer durations of it.

For example, I experienced the worst winter of my life in Guildford just a few years ago and I am sure that there was never a previous winter like it in my memory.

I strongly believe that winter was due to climate changes whether it is in terms of the polar regions getting warmer or my region getting colder.

It has been shown that ice areas have been melting which would appear to be evidence of warming in the polar regions.

Does auto pollution lead to these changes? Possibly. I doubt even scientists are wise enough to either prove or disprove any links. Does

There is a more humane solution for directing the actions of the deer. increasing the food supply for rats and vermin. They eat mostly fallen, rotting fruit!

I have heard a senseless argument that these deer are not native to this region; to wit I argue, neither are we!

There is a more humane solution for directing the actions of the deer, rather than killing them like heathens, and still maintaining their gracious presence among us.

A couple years ago a man, who lives very close to where I do, decided he no longer wanted the deer eating the rose bushes and sapling fruit trees in his yard.

One morning, as the deer entered his yard and approached his trees to eat, he shot one of the elder deer in the ass cheek with his paintball gun.

the smoke from the thousands, if not millions, of smokestacks, whether residential or industrial, throughout the world contribute to the decline of our temperatures, our climates?

Possibly.

I would be willing to suggest that the hundreds of years of industrial pollution have helped to destroy our planet, bit by bit, and perhaps it is partly responsible for the sea conditions and some of the worst storms we have experienced. It could also be due to influences upon our planet by the solar stars and other planets, for all we really know about the earth and the solar system.

Anyway, Mr. Sturhahn, you have the right to spout whatever you wish in your letters, within reason, but perhaps you might wish to think a bit before possibly making a fool of yourself by what you have written?

Climate change evidence unequivocal

(re: Latest report confirms climate change a hoax, Letters, Western news, Oct. 4) Contrary to the claim climate change is a hoax, the Summary for Policymakers of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group I assessment report, Climate Change 2013: the Physical Science Basis (www. ipcc.ch) does nothing of the sort.

It states, “Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia.

The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, sea level has risen, and the concentrations of greenhouse gases have increased.”

The 36-page summary goes on to elaborate on these and other points in some detail, providing support-

ing data and confidence levels.

The report has 34 drafting authors and 37 draft contributing authors from around the world, including two Canadians: Drs. Nathan Gillett and Gregory Flato, Environment Canada research scientists at the Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis in Victoria, B.C. While we no doubt still have much to learn about how the climate system works, it is, after all, staggeringly complex, and it is important to challenge the validity of data and the interpretation thereof because this is how science advances, as someone who is not a climatologist, I found the information presented in the summary to be quite compelling in terms of supporting their conclusions, and would recommend that those who are interested read the report and draw their own conclusions about how credible it is.

Terry Fox Run a success

Thank you Penticton for another successful Terry Fox Run. Sept. 15 marked the 33rd anniversary of the Terry Fox Run, and in Penticton 275 participants raised $5,675 for cancer research.

This was truly a community success story. This support started with the City of Penticton and the Penticton Indian Band, businesses, organizations and individuals lent their resources, talent and time to promote and support The Terry Fox Run. Thank you.

For The Terry Fox Run to succeed, dedicated volunteers stepped up to help before and during the run, 25 wonderful people just asked how they could help and carried out the tasks needed. Thank you.

We would like to thank Steve King and Dennis Walker for an-

Later that evening he did the same to a lone deer that entered his yard to eat the same trees.

Thereafter, and now years later, the deer continue to wander past his yard, even nibbling his unprotected cedars, but they have never approached his roses or fruit trees again. Deer do share intelligence!

Oh, I know. Some narrow-minded individuals would think it tragic that people protect their yards in this manner and the police would expect a myriad of reports from same, but I contest that a stray or ricochet bullet from an official “culler” would pose a much greater threat to society.

A bullet can pass through a building. A fatality would occur sooner or later.

For those who are unable to get or shoot a paintball or airsoft gun, I would suggest the city seek assistance from the local army cadet corp.

They have many respectable young people trained in the use and care of such equipment, who would be eager to help their fellow citizens; especially if they aren’t having to kill the deer!

Perhaps our officials would then share this resolve with their counterparts in other communities.

nouncing the programs and keeping everyone informed during registrations and from the start of the program until runners were coming in.

We thank you gentlemen for a wonderful job.

It was a real honour to have Doug Alward as our guest. Doug and Terry grew up together in Port Coquitlam and he later drove the motorhome for Terry in 1980 in the Marathon of Hope.

He spoke of Terry’s fierce determination and perseverance to improve his skills in basketball and his trait of never giving up, these traits would again be tested on a daily basis as he ran across Canada.

He spoke of Terry’s challenges and fears on a daily basis. Thank you Doug for sharing your experiences with Terry. It was inspiring for all of us that day.

Doug also compared Terry’s run to cancer research, one step at a time, and yes progress is being made.

The Terry Fox Foundation thanks all who registered and ran here, and all who pledged or donated money for cancer research.

Your efforts and generosity are what keep Terry’s dream alive today.

Penticton and district is truly a caring and generous community and on behalf of all volunteers it was my wife’s and my pleasure to serve as organizers and we hope to see you next September at the SS Sicamous. Thank you.

Fortis execs should read meters

Those of us on the equalization payment plan with Fortis are concerned with the eventual outcome of the lockout at Fortis BC as it applies to what will be the final tally of our year-end assessment.

Lindsey Hall Penticton

Our meters are not being read, but are just a guess according to the previous year’s usage.

We still get a bill but this is a waste of paper as it does not mean a thing. Evidently management receives $100,000 plus per year so why aren’t they out there reading the meters until the lockout is over?

I would bet that it would soon come to an end if the business suits were forced to personally read the meters regardless of the weather, angry householders and the vicious dogs.

Thanksgiving is a time to share with family and friends and, of course, for many people, to enjoy a turkey dinner with all the trimmings.

That long-standing tradition continues this year at the Penticton Soupateria on Monday for some of the community’s less fortunate.

“Our normal lunches are cafeteria-style where people come along with trays and pick up what they want but with the sit-down dinners it’s served at the table,” said Keray Levant, president of the Penticton Community Soupateria Society.

“It’s probably one of the best meals a lot of these people will get during the year and it may be the only filling meal they get at all that day and it is open to everybody.”

The Soupateria began in a church basement in 1986, later moving into its current location at 150 Orchard Avenue.

Thanksgiving dinner begins at 11:30 a.m.

One hundred per cent volunteer operated, the facility dishes up as many as 160 lunches daily, and is open 365 days a year.

“We’ve been trending higher (in the number of meals served) for the last five years maybe due to the recession but we’re able to keep up thanks to the many donations we get from the community,” said Levant.

“This is a very important service that is provided for our clients and it’s something I believe they appreciate very much and we always treat them with respect.”

People wishing to volunteer are always welcome and there is currently a need for someone able to do light maintenance work and cleaning For more information, email Levant at kblevant@ shaw.ca or call 250- 497- 8706. for outline of duties.

Lakeside Resort hosting Drive-thru breakfast for United Way campaign Mark Brett

Western News Staff

Breakfast will definitely be the most important meal of the day next Thursday.

That’s because the United Way and the Penticton Lakeside Resort are hosting the second annual Drive-Thru Breakfast fundraiser.

For a donation to this year’s campaign, those who make their way to the hotel parking lot can pick up a goodie bag valued at $100, a hot breakfast wrap and have a chance at winning prizes valued in excess of $4,000.

“It’s a novel idea, it’s quick, it’s fun, people can do it on their way to work or on their morning dog walk,” said executive director Marla O’Brien of the United Way. “There’s no ticket you have to buy ahead of time, it is really a simple way to participate, give back, and possibly win some awesome prizes.

“It is a huge fundraising activity for the United Way’s campaign here in Penticton and we’re upping the number of bags from 550 to 750.

“They sold out last year and hopefully this year with a little bit more awareness building we’ll go through those 750 bags as well.”

The final figure raised from last year’s inaugural event was just under $8,000 and O’Brien believes with the addition of a special program put on by the Skaha Ford and Penticton Kia car dealerships this year’s total could top the $10,000 mark.

“Most people are just wanting to be involved in helping the community and are willing to participate because they want to give back,” said the United Way’s Miranda Tumbach.

In addition to the hot wrap breakfast, once again scheduled to be prepared by Lakeside general manager David Prystay, the bag given at the Drive-Thru

to those who donate will contain a variety of other foodstuffs, gifts, coupons and maybe even a special prize.

“Yes, hopefully David (Prystay) is cooking his hot wraps again this year, and I probably shouldn’t go on the record saying this, but the breakfast at this DriveThru beats the breakfast in Kelowna,” said O’Brien.

“But seriously, we’ve just had amazing, amazing response from the business community here. Miranda’s been knocking on doors and everybody is saying, ‘yeah sure, we want to get on board.’”

Working the breakfast front lines again this year will be members of the Penticton Vees junior hockey team, firefighters and many other volunteers.

O’Brien believes the strong local support is due largely to the fact the money raised here stays in the community and the South Okanagan.

Each spring after the donations are tabulated, officials of the organization begin the task of determining which agencies will receive the support.

“Every not-for-profit has their own missions, an issue or cause they want to tackle and when they have to spend a lot of their time distracted trying to fundraise it inhibits them from being able to accomplish that mission,” said O’Brien.

“The applications we look at must fit into one of three categories — poverty to possibility, all that kids can be and strong communities — are kind of the three catchment areas.

“The more that the United Way can take that on for them it just lets them do their job more efficiently.”

She added the intent is not to make it onerous on the charities but at the end of the day donors should have the knowledge of where the money goes and what it accomplishes.

Breakfast begins at 7 a.m. and runs until 9 a.m.

Back-2-Back tour raises funds and awareness Mark Brett

Western News Staff

Blind cyclist craig Aucoin (right) and sighted partner lloyd Mclean riding the special bicycle they left st. John’s nfld. in early August. Although Aucoin had to drop out due to injury, Mclean and Bob Macdonald have continued on the cross-canada tour and are expected to arrive in Penticton Oct. 18.

Injuries have prevented blind cyclist Craig Aucoin from continuing his crossCanada ride but they did not end his dream.

Aucoin and sighted partner Lloyd McLean left St. John’s Nfld.

Aug. 4 for a planned 85-day, 8,260-kilometre bicycle tour however separate incidents even before they reached Nova Scotia, curtailed his quest. Since then, Bob MacDonald, who suffers from the same condition (retinitis pigmentosa) which left Aucoin legally blind, has taken up the rear seat on the tandem, recumbent cycle.

“The terrain in Newfoundland was very challenging, a lot of big hills and it was unfortunate about Craig but it is what it is,” said McLean in a recent telephone interview from Suffield, Alta., just east of Calgary.

“But the trip itself has been great and everywhere we go the response we get from the people is wonderful.

“But as we get closer to the end and we can feel the end coming, it is exciting and hard to believe how many experiences we’ve had over the last two months.”

The pair were preparing for their crossing of the Rocky Mountains and are expecting to be in Penticton for a meet

and greet Friday, Oct. 18, at about 9:30 a.m. at Home Hardware.

The Craig Gives Back-2-Back Cross Canada Bicycle Tour was organized as a fundraiser and an awareness campaign.

In Aucoin’s words: “To give back to the three non-profit organizations that helped me turn my life around and to inspire Canadians of all ages to overcome their personal challenges and adopt healthy, active lifestyles.”

The groups he was referring to are the CNIB, YMCA and Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind.

“In the past 10 years, Craig has completely turned his life around for the better,” said McLean, Aucoin’s good friend and personal trainer. “He has lost 80 pounds and continues to exercise and eat properly. Craig’s dream was to be fit and strong, so you could say he is now living his dream and inspiring thousands of people along the way.”

He added that on the trip there have been challenges in every region, from the unseasonably cold temperatures in northern Ontario to Prairie headwinds so strong the pair had to pull over and camp on the side of the highway.

But there have also been some events the cyclists will never forget.

“One of the most memorable would still be in Quebec and cycling with eight other blind and sighted tandem bikes from Montreal to Oka, about 50 kilometres,” said McLean.

“Just to be able to share that experience with them was incredible.”

The best part however is the response and support they receive along the way, people who stop them in the grocery store or see them in a restaurants and wish them well.

In addition to raising money and awareness, for his part, McLean hopes others will also consider volunteering their time to help people like Aucoin and MacDonald.

“I’m always urging able bodied people to get out there and be a guide runner or guide cyclist,” he said.

“Craig would love to bike every single day of the week but there are only two of us that are able to bike with him.

“So he is forced to live with our schedules and even once a week is sometimes a challenge.”

Summing up the trip, McLean feels it is really what being Canadian is all about.

“When you are sick or diagnosed with an illness, you expect to get services or support that you need to continue to live an active and independent life and you’d want the same for the next person,” he said. “Then if you could you would give back but Craig is not a rich person and can’t dig down into his pocket and donate $100,000, so we decided to do it using sweat equity.”

At this stage Aucoin is expected to join the team in Vancouver for the final leg of the journey which is slated to end Oct. 27 in Victoria.

Warming up to docs Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

This promises to be an intense weekend for fans of documentaries at the We Love Documentary film festival, with three days of awardwinning films and in-depth discussions.

This is the second annual We Love Documentary presented by the Okanagan School of the Arts at the Shatford Centre from Oct. 11 to 13, featuring internationally known filmmaker Pepita Ferrari, national chair of the Documentary Organization of Canada, along with other special guests.

“This is a wonderful festival celebrating an art form that not only entertains and inspires but also informs the audience,” said Jane Shaak, executive director of the OSA and Shatford Centre. “We are proud to host this event at the Shatford Centre, where we can watch some excellent films and hear from leading figures in the field of documentary.”

Mandy Leith, founder of MediaRising.tv and OpenCinema, is also joining the festival and giving an opening address on Friday night regarding her recently completed Get on the Doc Bus tour of Canada.

“I really wanted to find out who is doing similar things across Canada and see if the idea of what I am developing, loosely calling it a cross-Canada cinema network, would be of value to other presentation and exhibition initiatives across the country,” said Leith, explaining that documentary filmmaking in Canada is

facing a crisis as funding and distribution models have changed.

“This is one initiative to try and develop new strategies and models and ideas for documentary.

The Doc Bus itself won’t be coming with Mandy; it’s being driven back from St. John’s, Nfld.

“I got all the way to Mile Zero, St. Johns Newfoundland, from Mile Zero, Victoria B.C.,” said Leith. Visiting the Shatford this weekend, though, completes the circle in a couple of ways for Leith. Not only did she help inspire the festival along with Fer-

rari, but Penticton was the first stop on the Doc Bus tour.

“The whole concept of We Love Documentary was initiated by Pepita Ferrari and myself through the Documentary Organization. We did a campaign to develop audience awareness about documentaries,” said Leith.

“It’s sort of beautiful to end up there this fall to take it forward, because the Shatford Centre has just run with the idea and turned it into this festival, which is a great partnership on all sides.”

Ferrari is joining Leith on Sunday for a special discussion, The State of Documentary, on Oct. 13 at 1 p.m.

The opening film of the Festival, Muscle Shoals, will be shown tonight at 7:15 p.m.

Directed

by Greg Camalier, the film recounts the story of the FAME music studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.

Overcoming poverty and racial hostility, its founder, Rick Hall, created a music studio which was the birthplace of the most iconic and resonant songs of all time. Featuring contributions from Mick Jagger, Aretha Franklin, Alicia Keys, and Bono the film tells the stories behind the success of some of music’s greatest artists.

Fresh off her third year of putting together the highly praised program of the Eastern Townships Film Festival in Quebec, Ferrari has curated a selection that will appeal to different interest groups in the area. Other films shown in the festival include Aging and Laughter, Rivers and Tides, Marina Abramovic: The Artist is Present, and Living Downstream. Tickets for the festival are $10 per film or $35 for the weekend and can be purchased at the Shatford Centre.

Kissel back at SOEC Western News Staff

Rising Canadian country singer Brett Kissel is coming to Penticton for a return engagement.

After a successful performance opening for Dwight Yoakam at the South Okanagan Events Centre last month, Kissel will be opening for Loretta Lynn on her 50th Anniversary Tour on Oct. 22.

Together, Lynn and Kissel promise a night of legendary and contemporary country music.

Like Lynn, Kissel’s career Started With A Song.

The hit song has scored Kissel his first No. 1 at CMT. The Started With A Song music video, which premiered on the station this summer, now sits atop the CMT Top 20 Countdown.

Adding to the success of the song, it remains one of the most played Canadian tracks on country radio. On Oct. 1, Kissel’s major label debut album Started With A Song was released with praise and momentum.

“I write music that’s

true to myself, about experiences that I’ve had in my young age,” Kissel said.

“And, it’s my hope that the fans and all the people listening are either touched by it or can escape wherever they need to escape from for threeand-a-half minutes. I’ve been working on these songs for three years, and cannot wait to begin making new fans by playing around the world.”

Co-produced by Kissel with Ted Hewitt (Rodney Atkins) and CCMA Award-winner Bart McKay, Started With A Song is an exhilarating collection of music that can be best described as the new wave of old country: each song a slice of real-life sentiment; emotional touchstones that run the gamut of highs and lows and explore such subjects as deep love, trying moments and poignant reflection, measured out by hellraising good times and a sense that something special is happening here.

Listening to the rousingly playful title track, the invigoratingly catchy 321 and the modern country gem Something You Just Don’t Forget, it is no wonder why Bob Doyle, the manager behind Garth Brooks and The Band Perry, proceeded to sign Brett to a co-management and publishing deal upon meeting him in Nashville.

Tickets for Loretta Lynn 50th Anniversary Tour with special guest Brett Kissel can be purchased at www.

ValleyFirstTix.com by telephone at 1-877-7632849 or in person at the Valley First Box Office (at the SOEC) and Wine Country Visitor Centre.

Gael Garcia Bernal as René Saavedra in No, an account of the plebiscite ending the reign of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.

Tracking a dictator’s fall Western News Staff

A gripping historical drama recounting the events and tensions found in Chile in 1998 is the focus of the next film in the Penticton Art Gallery’s Kitchen Stove Film Series.

No follows the national campaign over dictator Augusto Pinochet’s political future. In 1988, the Chilean dictator, due to international pressure, is forced to call a plebiscite on his presidency. His 15-year regime was characterized by its disregard for human rights, murders, imprisonments, exiles and those who just disappeared.

The country will vote yes or no to Pinochet extending his rule for another eight years.

A coalition of 16 political parties in opposition to the dictatorship persuade a brash, savvy advertising executive René Saavedra (Gael Garcia Bernal — The Motorcycle Diaries) to spearhead the “no” campaign. He quickly realizes that not only does he have to persuade voters on how to mark their ballots, he first has to convince a dispirited, skeptical population to even go to the polls.

“It’s an important move,” said Bernal. “When something is important and it’s expressed through an art form, then hopefully it will have a transcendence and a relevance so people can connect to it.”

Saavedra is known as a “closer” who can seduce clients with his soft voice and good looks

and oozes sincerity in setting up presentations, whether it’s a TV campaign for the latest soft drink or the most important event in the life of his country. His boss just happens to be a high-ranking member of Pinochet’s advisory board and his estranged wife, who he desperately wants to reunite with to live together as a family with their son, is a radical activist who believes the plebiscite is a fraud.

Against stacked odds and with scant resources, the campaign gains momentum and the tensions and dangers build. Saavedra comes under the scrutiny of the despot’s minions and his team devises an audacious plan to win the election and set Chile free.

No is directed by Pablo Larrain, and was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards. This film is a winner for the Art Cinema Award

at the Cannes Film Festival.

Larrain said they shot the film in the same format used to shoot practically all the archive footage in the film.

“As a result, we achieved images identical to those shot in the 80s so the spectator has access to this rare footage without being aware of what is archive footage and what was shot for the film,” he said. “In doing so, we were able to avoid making the usage of archive material evidence, creating a seamless combination of time, space and material generated with Ikegami tube cameras from 1983.”

Larrain also directed the film Post-Mortem, which speaks of the origin of the dictatorship and Tony Manero about its most violent moment. No closes the trilogy for him.

“Perhaps what I am most interested in is revising and revisiting the imagery of the violence, the moral destruction and ideological distortion, not in order to understand it, but in order to shed light on it. Perhaps, in time, they can contribute a look at a period filled with poorly lit labyrinths, as well as clumsy and oftentimes forced happiness,” said Larrain.

Pre-purchase tickets at the Penticton Art Gallery and the Book Shop for $13. This movie is showing at the Landmark Cinema 7 on Oct. 17 at 4 and 7 p.m. and limited tickets may be available at the door for $15. No is rated PG and is subtitled.

perb,” said one recent guest in their TripAdvisor review.

Proprietors Gail and Steve Walker said providing a fabulous experience for guests is their top priority.

“We were totally unprepared for and have been simply blown away by the kindness, courtesy and appreciation shown to us by our guests,” said Gail. “It really is very rewarding to greet strangers on a Friday evening and say good-bye to friends two or three days later.

We have met some of the nicest people on the planet just by staying at home. We never expected this to happen.”

The Walkers opened the B&B in 2011 after recognizing a need for top quality resort-style accommodation.

“When we started Benchmark we believed that there was a niche for a modern resort-style B&B with great home cooked food made from local ingredients, attentive and friendly service and modern well

equipped rooms that gave guests privacy yet enabled them to meet fellow travelers, make new friends and swap often very amusing stories over a glass of wine,” said Gail. “In short to create an atmosphere more akin to visiting old friends,” Campbell said the accolades and the sheer popularity of Benchmark, which was sold out for the entire summer, often with a waiting list, is indicative of the increasing consumer demand for more higher-end and boutique-style accommodation.

“The profile of the guests seeking this type of accommodation are those with higher incomes and the ability to travel year-round,” she said.

“They book their trip because of our wine and food offerings, but add on everything from beaches to outdoor adventure. Key to their stay is accommodation, and Benchmark B&B is obviously fulfilling that market demand.”

bell. “TripAdvisor and consumer review sites like this are some of the most influential for travellers trying to decide where to stay and what to do in a destination. Sincere congratulations to Benchmark B&B.” The honour came after Benchmark received 119 perfect reviews from recent travellers, each of whom gave five out of five stars to the resort-style bed and breakfast perched atop the hill looking west over the lake and mountains. The B&B had held the top spot in the local area for some time but was recently catapulted to the top in the entire valley and is No. 3 in British Columbia.

“It seems to me that any hotel or B&B that has 116 five, welldeserved star reviews kind of deserves a sixth star. I think Trip Advisor will have to give a special medal for such an accomplishment. The hospitality is superb. The food is superb. The view is su-

The basic necessity of healthy food is often taken for granted, but what is easily accessible for some is often out of reach for others.

A $6,500 Valley First Community Endowment grant administered by the First West Foundation is helping the Penticton & District Community Resources Society (PDCRS) provide nutrition to some of the most vulnerable community members, low-income families and youth.

Through its Nutritional Enhancement Project for Penticton Childcare Continuum, PDCRS is increasing nutrition and food security for young families and youth, as well as providing nutrition education to further improve quality of life.

The project targets youth care and support with programs such as the Penticton After School Program, Hand in Hand Infant Toddler Centre and Little Triumphs Early Childhood Centre.

“There are about 175 children benefiting from these programs, and we have seen wonderful results,” said Tanya Behardien, executive director of PDCRS. “Children are provided with a healthy morning meal, they are learning new skills and having fun. And, they are engaged

in cooking and nutrition education.

Young families and parents are less stressed and many have expressed their gratitude for the program.”

Last year, Valley First contributed $2,000 towards a kitchen upgrade for the nutrition enhancement program. The most recent grant will assist with food costs for PDCRS initiatives as well as provide needed supplies to maximize the use of the kitchen facility.

“Helping families with their nutritional needs is paramount to a healthy community,” said Seline Kutan, executive director of First West Foundation.

“We are not only happy to support the nutrition and education of the children in the programs, but also to relieve some stress for parents and families.”

The Valley First Community Endowment was created in 2010 with an initial $1 million donation from Valley First as a lasting legacy of community support. Each year, First West Credit Union donates a portion of its profits to grow the endowment.

Since establishment, $82,000 in grants have been presented to charities and initiatives helping children, families and youth at risk of hunger throughout Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson valley communities.

Effort and focus were the theme for the Penticton Tier 2 midget Vees last weekend during their Fall Classic tournament.

Coach Lance Vaillancourt said he wanted players coming to the rink with the right mental preparation and bringing work ethic to execute.

“For the most part I really believe they embodied those themes,” said Vaillancourt.

The Vees reached the semifinal and lost to Kelowna 4-0.

Kelowna then lost to Coquitlam in the final.

“Kelowna’s roster is deep because of the sheer size of their association, so by comparison this early in the season, our team played well,” said Vaillancourt.

The Vees opened the tournament against the Vancouver Thunderbirds with a 3-2 loss, despite outshooting them by a three to one margin. The Vees then started Saturday with a 5-2 win against Williams Lake and ended it pushing aside the Burnaby Bulldogs 8-4. Vaillancourt said his players competed with high intensity, which was what he wanted to see. The players also used the weekend to build chemistry.

“A couple of our veteran players led by example this weekend and some of our first year players adjusted quicker than I expected,” said Vaillancourt.

To the Vees’ coach, parity in the tournament was OK. Kelowna and Coquitlam were the top teams, both were 3-0 in the round robin.

“Coquitlam is a Tier 1 team so that is to be expected, but Kelowna is Tier 2 so that speaks to their depth,” he said. “This early in the season you never

know what it is going to be.”

The Vees were led offensively by Liam Hutcheson with five goals and one assist. Dennis Zoeller finished with four goals and six points with other multiple point efforts by Reid Newson, Sammy Gabriel, Daylan Devlin and Rylan Douglas. Brandon Locket won his first games of the season in goal. Other members of the team are Nick Graham, Aiden Hutcheson, Owen Haggerty, Justin Thornton, Jesse Keylock, Spencer Hook, Michael MacLean, Myles Thibodeau, Franky Anderson and Graham Smith-Boyle.

With the Vees hosting provincials and being the defending champs,Vaillancourt said the goal this season is repeating the feat.

Ball control nets Lakers win Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

A shutout effort against the Mt. Boucherie Bears improved the Pen High Lakers senior girls’ field hockey teams record to 2-1.

Merle Schrader of Germany scored two goals for the Lakers in the first half, then Anje Grakul added another late goal to secure a 3-0 win in AAA Okanagan Valley Senior Girls action.

Jessie Garcha of the Lakers said she felt they played really well despite having one less player.

She said the Lakers spaced themselves well on the field and mid-field players provided good support.

The challenge for the Lakers against the Bears was playing with two defenders as they normally have three.

“They are an aggressive team but we got past that,” said Garcha.

Lakers coach Shaun Johnston said in an email that she encouraged her players to “let the ball do the work.”

“I was really pleased with how they found open teammates and used the

pass,” said Johnston. “In fact, the first two goals were initiated on our own side of center. Three or four passes later, the ball was in the back of the net.”

Goals by Schrader and Grakul were also the result of strong communication, according to Garcha.

“Communication was a big deal, knowing where people are,” she said.

The goaltending of Caroline Rahkola was also key.

“Caroline did really well. She had a few good saves,” said Garcha of the rookie goalie. “The defence helped a lot with that too.”

Rahkola said the Bears played well, especially when bringing the ball up the field, but the Lakers’ defence was able to contain their attack for the most part.

“I didn’t have to do much,” she said with a smile.

Johnston said the Bears have athletic players, despite not having a lot of game experience.

From her perspective, the game was even territorially. The difference was the Lakers capitalized on

ATO OUR SALUTE CARRIERS

Friday, October 11, 2013 Penticton Western News

THE PENTICTON WESTERN NEWS WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OF THEIR CARRIERS FOR THEIR DEDICATION AND HARD WORK.

Growing up in Naramata Reg Greenwood didn’t have a paper route, but now, at age 85, he’s taking advantage of that missed opportunity.

For two days each week the retired CP Rail office worker puts in nine hours to get the hard copy out to over 500 Penticton Western News readers.

For Greenwood, the delivery days actually begin the night before at the Western’s Camrose Street office, waiting for the papers to roll off the presses.

Greenwood’s work day is a split shift, the first half goes until 1:30 a.m. after which he heads home for a few hours sleep and is up at 5 a.m. for the next leg.

He began delivering the paper around 2000 and while there have been a few bumps and bruises and the occasional dog bite along the way, it’s been smooth sailing.

Western News publisher Don Kendall (left) and circulation manger Sue Kovacs (right) congratulate retired carriers Art Unrau and his wife, Mary. After delivering the paper for 20 years, Art and Mary finally hung up their bags at the end of July.

Every Wednesday and Friday morning, our dedicated drivers and carriers deliver the Penticton Western News to more than 23,000 homes and businesses throughout the South Okanagan.

Today, on International Newspaper Carrier Appreciation Day, we offer a special thank you to our drivers and carriers who make it possible for our readers to enjoy their community newspaper, the Penticton Western News.

You know your child best.

You know your child’s favourite doll and every other precious detail of their life.

But there’s one thing you can’t know: how well they see.

Many kids’ vision problems don’t have obvious symptoms. An eye exam by a Doctor of Optometry can assess the quality of a child’s vision and their overall eye health. Book an eye exam with a Doctor of Optometry today.
