Most concerns about Interior Health stem from simple miscommunication, according to a member of a high-level board tasked with reviewing select patient complaints.

“Complainants generally have a problem with the health-care system because either they don’t feel heard or understood,” said Randall Fairey, a retired Kelowna oncologist.

He’s one of six people who sit on the Interior Patient Care Quality Review Board, which was established in 2008 and reports directly to the Ministry of Health. Three other boards cover the remaining B.C. health authorities.

In 2012-13, the Patient Care Quality Review Office for Interior Health received 870 patient complaints. Just 15 unresolved issues were accepted by the board for further review, according to its latest annual report.

Following an investigation, which can include staff interviews and a review of medical records, the board can then make recommendations.

“Although we can’t compel any action, our recommendations are taken very seriously by the Interior Health Authority,” said Fairey. “The health authority knows that the minister of health is looking directly at this. I think that they take it very seriously.”

The annual report contains very basic details of the cases in which it made 15 recommendations in 201213, including: — Regarding a concern about medication administration at an acute-care facility, the board recommended Interior Health ensure “adequate investigation of the complainant’s concern that a nurse tried to force medication into the mouth of her mother,” and report back to the complainant.

— After looking into a complaint about the discharge process from a mental-health facility, Interior Health was advised to review extended leave procedures under the Mental Health

Act and make sure staff are trained to follow it.

— In response to a concern about excessive wait and inadequate care in the emergency department of an acute care facility, the board recommended Interior Health remind staff to follow Canadian Emergency Department Triage and Acuity Scale guidelines, and that if treatment is delayed that regular communication with patients occurs to keep them informed and aware of delays.

Patty Garrett, the director of Interior Health’s Patient Care Quality Review Office, said those summaries and her statistics show pure communications complaints are relatively uncommon.

“The types of complaints that are going forward, the majority would still be care, but then what’s happened is the review board has made a recommendation to somehow strengthen the communication process (because) that’s what actually broke down and led to the care issue,” she explained.

Garrett said her office “is always interested in receiving feedback, if not from the review board then some other interested party.”

Most recommendations are standalone items, she continued, although others have resulted in system-wide changes, including one that suggested the authority create information sheets to explain that patients may be expected to provide some of their own medication in hospitals, which don’t stock every drug in existence.

“It was a different concept to explain to the patient that not everything is in our formulary,” Garrett said, adding the resultant pamphlets are now available in most hospitals.

Fairey admitted the work of his board is not well understood by the public.

As for those who do have a complaint accepted for review, he continued, “I think the patients see they’ve had a really thorough vetting of their issues with the health authority.”

Amendments to bylaws redefine good neighbours Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Along with derelict houses and other nuisance properties, the City of Penticton is taking aim at pigeons in the latest update to the Good Neighbour bylaw introduced last year.

According to Anthony Haddad, director of development services, staff are receiving an increasing number of complaints about the feeding and roosting of pigeons in the city. But until this week, the city was without a specific bylaw referencing the problem on private property.

An amendment brought to council this week makes it illegal to feed or attract pigeons “such that the pigeons cause a nuisance” and includes a $100 fine for the offender. Haddad said the majority of the complaints come from the downtown area, as well as the southern part of the city.

The new pigeon bylaw is intended to give bylaw enforcement tools dealing with nuisances and health risks specific to pigeons like roosting and nesting, or pigeons that defecate on property, things or persons located there.

Coun. Helena Konanz questioned whether the city didn’t already have a bylaw against the feeding of wildlife. There are two already, Haddad admitted, one prohibiting the feeding of deer, and another stopping people from feeding waterfowl on parkland in the city.

“Isn’t it a good idea for us to have generally a feeding-of-the-wildlife bylaw infraction as opposed to naming lions and tigers and bears and everyone else we shouldn’t be feeding?” asked Coun. Wes Hopkin, echoing Konanz’ question.

Haddad said the nuisance complaints related to pigeons were more appropriately located in the Good Neighbour bylaw, which would also be the best place to consolidate a don’t feed the animals bylaw.

Council gave the amendment it’s first three readings, and are expected to vote on it at their Nov. 4 meeting.

Penticton is also hoping to clean up the streets with a bylaw aimed at making property owners responsible for the sidewalks in front of their homes.

Responsibility for maintenance of these areas, including snow removal, grass cutting and removal of litter is often not clear, according to Haddad.

The new amendment to the Good Neighbour bylaw clarifies the situation by making maintenance the responsibility of the owners and residents whose property directly fronts the boulevard or sidewalk in question.

“The majority of these areas in the city are maintained already by the adjacent property owners and the proposed amendments formalize the situation,” said Haddad, noting that the Community Charter gives B.C. municipalities the right to create such bylaws.

Haddad said most B.C. municipalities already have similar bylaws, including Kelowna, Vernon, Oliver and Osoyoos, but in Penticton, the current bylaw only restricts the placement of gardening waste in lanes or boulevards.

A boulevard, by the way, is that space between your property line and the curb.

Not only will the upkeep and cleanliness of the sidewalks be the responsibility of nearby property owners, they are also going to be expected to maintain any landscaping in the boulevard area, not just watering and cutting the grass, but seeding and weeding, as well as trimming any small shrubs in the area.

“The only exception to this requirement is for tree pruning and cutting trees away from electrical lines,” said Haddad.

“The city will continue to ensure that trees on city property not conflict with the electrical lines.”

The amendment got its first three readings, and will be coming back to council for adoption at a later meeting. Some councillors, however, expressed concern over following this path, including Hopkin and Konanz, who were the only votes in opposition.

“I think the last time it came to council, it was defeated,” said Hopkin, comparing it to the snow removal bylaw, which causes hardship for some community members.

“I am somewhat hesitant to do this, because there are some that can’t take care of the boulevards in front of their homes,” he said.

“With snow removal, it’s usually a question of safety. But this is just because it is admittedly unkempt and it doesn’t look nice. I wonder whether or not it is a burden we are placing on people to basically take care of property that is not their own. It is public property we are forcing them to take care of.”

Though he voted in support, Mayor Garry Litke also expressed concerns, especially over varying interpretations of the wording “reasonable standard.”

“I would hate to see someone who can’t afford it get fined because of some physical disability or over some dispute in what the standard of the boulevard should be. I am a bit nervous of this one.”

Coun. Katie Robinson supported the amendment, arguing that it wouldn’t be a hardship, and that neighbours would help those for who it was.

“Most people take on that responsibility when they take on home ownership.

They want to have pride in their homes and their city,” said Robinson.

“Honestly, I think it’s time that maybe Penticton could pull up their socks a little bit in that direction and have a tidier town and one that we could all be proud of.”

Kokanee gathering, but proving to be elusive for biologists Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

In an attempt to snare some kokanee, fisheries biologist paul askey lets out a seine net across the Okanagan River channel, while Brian Jantz guides the boat.

Steve Kidd/Western news

It was a pretty sight on a crisp autumn morning as members of the Penticton Flyfishers club gathered at the mouth of the channel last Friday, stretching a seine net across the river and then gradually drawing it to the shore.

But as often happens, while the fishing was good, the catching was bad that day.

After three tries with the net, the group, which included both club members, Okanagan Nation representatives and B.C. Fish and Wildlife branch staff, was still emptyhanded.

The goal was to catch some of the Kokanee gathering at

the mouth in order to harvest eggs for the club’s hatchery.

The resulting fry will be introduced to Ellis Creek, in hopes of restoring the run there.

Brian Jantz, on contract with the ministry, wasn’t surprised the Oct. 18 attempt failed.

“We saw the fish were slowly building over the last couple of days. But there was only a couple of hundred out there and we just thought we would give this a go this morning as a trial run,” said Jantz. “We will be in better shape next week as more fish move in.”

Fisheries biologist Paul Askey said there have been good numbers of fish counted in

the river, 16,000 at last count, on their way to the spawning grounds.

He isn’t sure why they aren’t gathering at the channel mouth as usual.

“There is definitely fish in the area, but just a small number.”

It seems like they are moving through quite quickly instead of holding.”

At the edge of the stream, the club has set up a holding pen for the fish they hope to catch.

“The females might not be ready yet to take the eggs, we might have to hold them for a couple of days. It’s just wait and see now,” said club member George Graw.

The club is hoping to harvest 100,000 eggs to incubate in

their hatchery, which has been out of use for many years.

“We put a lot of money and work into getting it all back in shape,” said Graw.

“It had sat for so long that it was starting to deteriorate.”

“The main goal for this year is just to get our hands on some fish, get our hands on some eggs, get that hatchery up and running, test out the plumbing, make sure everything works,” said Askey, adding that the project to restore Kokanee to Ellis Creek is a temporary measure.

“The longer term goal there is to improve that stream and passage for fish,” he said.

“We are going to put some fish in there

for a start and in future years we would be working towards putting some fish back into Penticton Creek as well. Especially rainbow that aren’t there anymore.”

The current thinking, according to Askey, to focus on improving habitat and letting wild populations take care of themselves, protecting their genetic integrity.

“In the case of these small streams that have been severely impacted, like Ellis Creek and Penticton Creek, they’ve just been extirpated.”

Askey said.

“There is nothing left there and if we don’t help them, there won’t be anything there, at least not for a very long time.”

Wage freeze leaves administrators lagging behind Joe Fries

Western News Staff

School trustees in Penticton voted this week to call on the B.C. government to thaw its compensation freeze on administrators.

Since non-unionized staff wages were frozen four years ago, the unionized workers they supervise have been gaining ground, explained Ginny Manning, chair of the Okanagan Skaha School District board.

“In some districts, a teacher who is doing some added work, like a department head or something like that, is getting paid more than a vice-principal,” she said.

Lifting the wage freeze on non-unionized workers was among seven motions the board discussed at a special session on

Okanagan Skaha School District board chair ginny Manning and secretary-treasurer Ron Shongrunden put their heads together Thursday at a special meeting where trustees agreed to say no to a B.C. government request to carve about $150,000 from this year’s budget for possible staff wage increases.

Joe Fries/Western news

Monday in advance of this weekend’s B.C. School Trustees Association provincial council meeting.

Okanagan Skaha trustees got together in advance to decide how their representative, Linda Van Alphen, will vote there.

Manning noted wage increases awarded to teachers and support staff in recent contracts also have the potential to create conflict between unionized and non-union-

ized staff.

“We have professional staff. They haven’t come complaining or grumbling at all. It’s just something that we feel, around the province, is an inequity,” she said.

“Our employees work hard all around and we’re certainly supportive of wage increases and compensation increases for all of our staff.

“However, we’re not supportive of some getting it and some not.”

Okanagan Skaha Teachers’ Union president Leslea Pryde could not be reached for comment.

Trustees also voted in favour of maintaining their link to civic politicians, even if it means longer terms in office.

In September, delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention called on the B.C. government to increase civic politicians’ terms in office to four years, up from the current three.

School trustees are voted in on the same cycle, and Manning said although current board members aren’t interested in longer terms, they feel it’s more important that the link is maintained to save money on election costs.

The seven motions on the agenda at Monday’s meeting are considered emergent issues for the BCSTA as they relate to the B.C. Education Ministry’s stated desire to pass legislation this spring that will lay out a new bargaining structure it will use in future negotiations with school workers.

Regional district eyes Heritage Hills for wildfire prevention work of areas that need to be done,” said John Davies, a forestry consultant hired by the RDOS to manage its wildfire prevention program.

Next on his todo list is to secure grant money for a treatment prescription in Naramata Creek Park and carry out operations at two sites in the Bankier area west of Summerland and one near St. Andrews, west of Okanagan Falls.

The total cost of that work, which includes thinning the forest understorey and removing surface fuels, is pegged at $336,000.

The RDOS is expected to cover 10 per cent of the cost.

Joe Fries

Western News Staff

A 10-hectare patch of forest bordering Heritage Hills is the next site in the region set to receive government-funded wildfire prevention work, but it’s unknown if there will be money available for future jobs.

Since 2009, the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen has treated a total of 120 hectares of forest with nearly $2 million in grants from senior levels of government.

The work has reduced the threat of wildfire at interface areas from Princeton to Oliver, yet still barely scratched the surface.

“There are still lots

The balance should come through the Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative administered by the Union of B.C. Municipalities. The next round of funding is expected in November.

After that, it’s anyone’s guess.

The initiative, established in 2004, was last topped up in 2011 with $25 million.

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations has not yet committed to rebuilding the war chest.

Ministry spokesman Brennan Clarke confirmed that as of Sept. 7, the fund balance was $6.7 million, all of which is expected to be

disbursed this winter.

He said the initiative is a “high-priority program” that will be assessed with all others during the B.C. government’s upcoming budget deliberations.

Davies said the RDOS has made a dent in the interface wildfire risk to some of its members communities, but such a program needs to be “a long-term venture.”

He also noted that although no operational work has occurred since 2011 while the RDOS awaited reimbursement for other jobs, the program has so far created 72 personmonths of employment and helped keep 12 forestry companies in

SummerlanderS are getting a new transit service to Penctcton beginning next week.

Western news file photo

Summerland’s new transit service is scheduled to start rolling Monday at precisely 7:15 a.m.

The 23-seat bus will leave from the library, take a spin around the community with stops at schools, the Seniors’ Village and a shopping centre, then head south on Highway 97 to Penticton.

The service will begin with four trips daily, the last leaving the Summerland library at 4:30 p.m and departing from Cherry Lane Shopping Centre in Penticton at 5:15 p.m.

It will run Monday to Friday only, with no buses on weekends or holidays The service will tie in with the larger Penticton transit system with stops at the hospital and Okanagan College. Better yet, it will cost riders nothing until Dec. 31.

“We are trying to make the new transit system as easy to use as possible, that is why we are initially waiving fares and hope the people give the new service a try,” Summerland Mayor Janice Perrino said in a press release.

In January, the fare for a ride within Summerland will be $2, while a one-way trip to Penticton will cost $4.

B.C. Transit and the District of Summerland will share the cost of the system, with the municipality’s portion expected to total around $60,000 before fares are subtracted.

EDITORIAL

opinion

Clear out the hospital Accidents happen.

If anyone should know that, it’s the folks at the Interior Health Authority, which exists partly to patch up the results of human follies.

So it makes you wonder why Interior Health believes regulations alone will keep staff and patients safe during asbestos removal work currently underway on the maternity ward at Penticton Regional Hospital.

One patient, who was parked in a room next door to one that is being remediated, said she would have refused to stay there had nurses told her what was going on behind closed doors.

A hospital administrator said all necessary precautions required by WorkSafeBC are being taken, such as sealing off the room and keeping it under negative air pressure to prevent escape of asbestos fibres.

Plus, a separate consultant has been hired to keep an eye on the work and test the air quality in the space around the remediation zone.

That’s great, but to err is human.

If one of the workers slips up or a piece of plastic rips, then what?

The danger is only heightened when you consider the work is being done on the maternity ward where little lungs are taking their first breaths.

Proponents of the plan to build a new tower at PRH will tell you often that the hospital routinely runs at 110 per cent of capacity.

Obviously it would be difficult to temporarily relocate WESTERN patients and staff while muchPENTICTON needed remediation work is underway, but not impossible.

Interior Health should be commended for dealing with its asbestos problem, but it should also immediately remove those people who would be in harm’s way if things did go sideways.

Chemical weapons: everybody wins except Syrians “That prize should have been given to me,” joked Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad shortly after the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on 11 Oct. The guests gathered in his palace in Damascus presumably laughed, out of courtesy to their host, but they all knew that giving up Syria’s chemical weapons hadn’t been Assad’s idea at all.

“Since 2003, Syria has demanded that the countries in the region dismantle their weapons of mass destruction, and the chemical weapons were meant to be a bargaining chip in Syria’s hands in exchange for Israel dismantling its nuclear arsenal,” the Syrian president continued.

“Today the price (of the bargaining chip) has changed, and we have agreed to give up our chemical weapons to remove the threat of the U.S. attacking us.”

He’s really doing it, too. Sixty out of a planned 100 OPCW inspectors are already in Syria, and they have made no complaints

about a lack of cooperation by Damascus.

By the end of this month they will have completed their initial verification visits and confirmed that Syria’s account of its chemical weapons and facilities is accurate and conceals nothing.

Significantly, the inspectors have so far found no bombs, shells or missiles that are actually filled with poison gas, which suggests that Syria’s chemical weapons were in a very low state of readiness.

It also greatly eases the next phase of the OPCW’s task, the destruction of the actual chemicals, since it is a tricky and dangerous business to extract the liquefied poison gas from a projectile that also contains the explosives to disperse it when it lands.

Syria has an estimated 1,000 metric tonnes of toxic chemicals: around 300 tonnes of sulfur mustard, a blistering agent, and about 700 tonnes of the nerve agents sarin and VX. But if none of it is “weaponized” (loaded into projectiles), and

chemical weapons.

But what has Assad really lost?

“The chemical weapons, which have lost their deterrent value over the past few years, were meant to be used only after Israel used its nuclear weapons,” he says, but it was never a Gwynne Dyer very credible deterrent.

Dyer Straits Israel’s unstoppable nuclear weapons could annihilate Syria, much of the nerve whereas the very agent is in “precursor” effective Israeli civil form, as separate, less defence organization toxic components, would have made mass then OPCW’s goal of casualties unlikely even finishing the job by mid- in a worst-case Syrian 2014 seems feasible. gas attack.

(Poison gas is not remotely comparable to nuclear weapons in its destructiveness, but it is technically WMD).

But Assad is a very lucky man.

He discovered belatedly that his bargaining chip could be traded for something else: immunity from American attack.

So everybody wins.

Obama escapes from the new Middle Eastern war that he dreaded.

Moscow gets huge diplomatic credit for coming up with the formula that averted that war, and saves its Syrian client as well.

Assad regains a measure of respectability by nobly relinquishing his useless chemical weapons. And the OPCW gets the Nobel Peace Prize.

The only losers are the Syrian people on both sides of a dreadful civil war, which looks set to drag on indefinitely.

Penticton fruit outlet closure a mistake

The low profile intention of the B.C. Tree Fruits Cooperative to close retail fruit outlets in Penticton and Kelowna should be greeted with dismay by the respective communities, their councils, community organizations, and regional MLAs. These are retail outlets slated, by BCTFC, for closure at the end of October.

Their intent to dispose of surplus facilities makes sense for many reasons, including the extensive replacement of orchards by vineyards over the last decade.

However the key question is whether existing retail outlets are surplus and should be closed.

In Penticton’s case, staff have confirmed that the retail outlet is profitable. Why close it then?

This is particularly true when potential cold storage services for garden supply, florists, silvicultural tree-nurseries, and other businesses are considered.

Secondly, retail outlets build both customer loyalty and the B.C. brand.

Why would BCTFC walk away from apparently profitable markets around Penticton (35,000-plus customers) and Kelowna (100,000-plus customers)?

This is especially true when there is growing interest in local food sources and concerns about longer term dependability of external suppliers.

Third, BCTFC retail outlets provide essentially year-round availability of B.C. fruits. This provides consumers with offseason access to exceptional varieties such as Conference and Concord pears.

Surely this must benefit specialized growers. And yes, significant efforts by grocers such as IGA to stock B.C. fruit in season are appreciated.

Fourth, retail outlets are a local asset and attraction, another good reason to choose to locate, stay, or visit an Okanagan community.

Closure would eliminate unique community advantages and reduce their overall attractiveness.

Lastly, there is the matter of social responsibility on the part of BCTFC. The Penticton Herald (Aug. 30) reported “good news for apple growers”, a grant from senior governments of $735,000 for a new labour saving apple sorting line.

Surely some reciprocity for this and other taxpayer support over the years to the BCTFC is warranted.

Continuing to serve local consumers/ taxpayers with retail outlets (reportedly profitable) would seem to be an appropriate response and condition for future funding.

Maintaining and serving local markets appears to be a win-win for local BCTFC producers and consumers as well as strengthening the appeal of Okanagan communities.

Will the BCTFC remain a good citizen?

Land deal not a good deal

(Development gets green light, Western News, Oct. 16) The Penticton Indian Band proposal to put a monster development (600 homes?) on the lands west of the airport will result in an environmental, social and economic crime against the last remaining natural landscape in the valley.

The native and non-native people that

www.pentictonwesternnews.com

letters

value wild land for its ecological, spiritual and aesthetic values, the taxpayers and people of Penticton who will be dragged into subsidizing it, and the well-being of all residents of the Okanagan valley.

No matter what aspect of this monster we look at, it’s a horrific blow to the region.

It will be an ugly forsaken day when the bulldozer blades drop.

And the destruction this will create is final! After 10,000 years of contributing to clean air, invaluable water, natural ecosystems, and huge human enjoyment, this monster will turn the tables forever; there will be no going back!

A rare landscape with immense social value will be gone.

There are many in the developer/corporate world, and those influenced by their free flow of lobby money (our political system, from city to provincial legislature to native bands), who ignore, deny, distort or outright lie about the link between the constant mindless growth, consumption ideology, crippled public services and financing, the world’s dying atmosphere and the human made crisis in biodiversity and water these people have forced on the majority of us.

We are long past the day this kind of exploitation should have been wound down, and yet we see it rear its ugly head again in this native land monster.

No single development in the history of the valley will add more pollutants to the atmosphere than this monstrosity.

Pentictonites can look the other way, or wink at each other, just as the big land grabbers do, and shrug off the biggest green house gas generator the valley has ever been threatened by, as though we are not responsible for already serious damage to the earth’s living systems.

But in a world already spinning into global impacts on all of us, this just exacerbates the crime.

As climate change begins to cook the Okanagan Valley, demand for water will sharply escalate just when the sources dwindle and shift seasons.

This development project will suck even more of it to meet migrant expectations and green golf courses, all of which will overload existing water users.

No one could go more in the wrong direction.

There is no doubt there will be some private profiteering involved, and some cash flow to select members of the Penticton Indian Band.

But the vast majority of the costs, social, environmental, property devaluation, air pollution, will be socialized, passed on to you and I. Claims that there will be 1,500 jobs are, as is always the case, grossly inflated – even worse, the majority of jobs on projects like this go to outsiders.

The project is not a local jobs generator.

It’s hard to say just how much this monstrosity will cost Penticton residents.

Like so many peripheral developments – the guys that suck up costly and hard to come by services like policing, roads, and emergency services, in this case from a community already stretched to the point of declining service, the sprawl subsidy could easily cost each of us anywhere from $4,000 up to $25,000.

Also, if we pile on declining house (devaluation) costs, it could be much much greater – every one of you could be on the hook for $50,000 or more!

Further, add decades of lost tax revenue

and it should be evident we, the present day citizens, and Penticton and the region are getting our pockets picked.

These kinds of insider deals exploit society’s collective inability to see the long term picture, and even worse, they take advantage of societies incapacity to act today to prevent social, environmental and economic burdens — debt — tomorrow.

Thanks to a dysfunctional regulatory and democratic system, society has already been failing to meet its social and democratic responsibilities, often dragging along those progressive and visionary citizens who do see the looming destruction and costs; the result is we are increasingly losing control to outside interests and insider deals that permit wrong and costly choices to be forced upon us.

Zero tolerance means zero tolerance

(re: Oktoberfest features unique German ales, Western News, Oct. 16) I find it rather disconcerting that even as you write a commendable article about the Oktoberfest celebration, (which I believe is about more than just beers and sausages, right?), you include a statement about someone being able to drink two beers (low alcohol) and then drive.

Are we not in a province where there is near zero-tolerance for any level of drinking and driving?

Yet your article has a statement that reflects a view of it’s OK to drink then drive away.

Please recant the statement in the article or put a disclaimer in a prominent place in your next paper about how nobody should drink alcohol and then drive, even if they think they are OK. Just because one beer or two or more doesn’t appear to affect you, doesn’t mean that you won’t put someone in danger (aside from yourself) especially considering the asinine way some if not many people drive when on Eastside Road or elsewhere in the Okanagan and other regions.

As the daughter of a Nova Scotia coal miner, Rita Lucier lived the music that made Loretta Lynn a country legend.

So when Rita’s daughter Kathrine learned about Lynn’s concert this week at the South Okanagan Events Centre, she quickly grabbed a pair of tickets for herself and her 91-year-old mother.

However, several days before the performance the unthinkable happened; Rita fell, hitting her head and injuring her back.

As the clock ticked down to showtime it became clear her mother was not going to be released from hospital or even be able to sit in a chair.

Unable to sit by and watch the special opportunity slip away, Kathrine set out to do whatever she could to make her mom’s dream come true.

What happened next — in the course of a day — were a series of events Kathrine still can’t believe.

A letter she sent to a friend quickly began circulating throughout the community and the response was immediate. Medi-Van Canada offered not only free transportation but use of a specialized gurney and the services of two certified attendants.

As well, Global Spectrum did its part to accommodate Rita, eventually upgrading her to a curtained suite so she could remain on the gurney and still see her idol.

Kathrine Lucier spends a moment with her mom rita at a special suite at the South Okanagan events centre prior to the start of the Lorretta Lynne concert. thanks to a number of people and organizations rita was able to attend the show by her favourite performer after being injured in a fall.

Mark Brett/Western news

The necessary medical clearance was given and the concert was back on for Rita.

On the night of the show the Medi-Van Canada vehicle arrived at Penticton Regional Hospital just before 8 p.m. and Rita, wearing her favourite red dress, was whisked away to the SOEC. “I believe that you can move heaven and earth so I just put it out there,” said Kathrine.

“It was serendipitous the way it unfolded but I trusted that. I had no expectations, I just saw us going and so we got our knights in shining armour and we got the carriage.

“I believe in the miracles and the magic and all we have to do is ask.”

She called those who helped “earth angels,” and believed her father Art, who died two years ago, was smiling down

on the family.

“I just think dad’s kind of got his eye on mom and helped this move along,” said Kathrine. “It’s my joy to be able to participate in this part of her journey.

I know what this meant to her in the moment and that moment is her forever.”

One of those moments was when Lynn, 81, sang Rita’s favourite ballad, Coal Miner’s Daughter, a song about Lynn’s own childhood.

According to Kevin Webb of Global Spectrum, the request for someone to watch a show from their bedside was unusual but one they were willing to do whatever it took to make happen.

“This is all about the human touch. I mean Rita is 91 and is a really big fan and it would have terrible if she missed it,” said Webb.

“It’s really hard to put a

value on something like this. It’s not something that we can do every single show but it was something we could accommodate for this one.”

Operations manager Stefan Legal of MediVan agreed with the importance of assisting a special person at a difficult time.

“After reading the letter and all those different scenarios, we just really wanted to help her out and that’s why we’re here tonight,” said Legal. “We realized this was one of her wishes and if we could help make that happen that’s really wonderful. It’s all about the person.”

While Rita didn’t talk during the show, the occasional toe tap and smile spoke volumes.

The one word she did say at the end of the concert: “Spectacular.”

It’s gone through a few locations and a few names, but over the years, the Whole Foods Market has become an institution.

Richard Hunt, the current manager of the store, admits that when his wife Shelley Hawn opened the Penticton Bulk Food Emporium in 1983, they had no idea they would still be operating the business three decades later.

“That’s a long, long time, let me tell you,” said Hunt. “We’ve had a very good run at it here in Penticton.

“It’s been a good business to have and we feel we’ve made a difference in a lot of ways.

We’re happy with the way things turned out.”

Before hiring her husband to operate the business in 1999, Hawn operated the business through its first 16 years of growth, two changes of location and three name changes.

The first name change, to the Whole Food Emporium, came in 1989 to better reflect the changing nature of the products in the store.

There weren’t very many organic products available in the early years, said Hunt, and almost none available as packaged consumer goods.

That started changing by the late 1980s.

Natural was the key word in the early days.

There weren’t many organic products available at the time, but that gradually changed over the years.

“By the late ‘90s you could buy anything that was available in a conventional format in an organic format,” said Hunt. “We used to have to go out and really look hard for them. Now it’s changed where people

Shelly hawn, owner of the Whole Foods Market, and Richard Hunt, her husband and general manager, recently celebrated the store’s 30th anniversary.

we wanted to be in business doing something we believed in and was part of our daily life.

— Richard Hunt

are coming and looking for us to sell their product line.”

Greater availability of both packaged product and local organic produce and fruit kept Whole Foods growing, and led to the next name change, to Whole Foods Market.

“I can’t say that 30 years ago, I had a vision of what it is now because a lot of the things we sell now didn’t exist then,” said Hunt. “But it became clear about halfway through the last 30 years that we could grow it into something much more than what it was.”

Key to the store’s longevity, Hunt said, is that both he and Hawn, 30 years ago and to-

day, walked the talk.

They had both been involved in food-related businesses that all had the focus on natural, healthy, high nutritional value.

“We were users of natural and healthy foods,” he said. “We wanted to be in business doing something we believed in and was part of our daily life. And we still do that.”

Customers run across a broad spectrum, according to hunt, reflecting the still growing interest in organic and healthy foods.

“One of the bigger categories of growth in the last year or two has been young families, who are starting to raise

children and they have made a conscious decisions they don’t want to feed their children conventional foods they feel might be harmful, so they come to us,” said Hunt. “But if you came in here on any given day, you would see teenagers to octogenarians and every income bracket.”

Hunt also praises the staff as dedicated and informed and a major part of the store’s success. Without them, he said, the store’s history would have been much different.

“It’s been a great run.

It’s been a great place to raise a family and meet a ton of great people.

No regrets,” said Hunt.

with Ben Dalpe

Sports editor’s note: Throughout the season, Ben Dalpe, brother of former Penticton Vee Zac Dalpe, will write a column for the Western News giving readers insight into his life on the ice and away from the rink.

I have had many ideas and suggestions on possible topics for this article. This week I would like to talk about something my billet parents, Alan and Jackie Profilli, suggested, which is sharing the daily lifestyle of playing junior A hockey in Penticton.

I will explain a regular day that does not include a game. Wakeup for me is usually around 9 a.m. For players who are not attending school, they have to be at the rink for 10 a.m. When we arrive, we have many different options for things to do. Some guys stretch, eat, work out, go on the ice or even some show up for 10 a.m. and go right back home. I usually stretch or head on the ice with my linemate and captain, Brad McClure. Some days we have a massage therapist come and two stretch ladies, so if you have an appointment with them, that’s usually what you do. After

that, you have until 2 p.m. to report back to the rink to prepare for practice.

With that free time I usually head back to my billet house. With a couple of hours to kill, I usually pull out my guitar and play for awhile (maybe even sing because no one can hear me). I also enjoy playing some basketball with neighbour and teammate Olivier Mantha. Depending on time and how I’m feeling that day, I may even sneak in a little 30-minute nap. Before heading

to the rink, I will make some lunch or sometimes head to Subway.

Upon arrival at the rink at 2 p.m., I get into my under-gear right away.

I then tape two sticks for practice. Before off-ice warm-up, I join the rest of the guys for a friendly soccer game we call sewer ball. This is where the last person to keep the ball up off the ground is out. I have been pretty successful this year, usually try and get all the rookies out of the game first.

Then we warm-up as a team led by Mc-

Clure. Depending on the day we may do strategy before practice, but if not we practice at 3:15 p.m. After practice some days we have a team workout led by assistant coach Mike Hengen. If we don’t work out, I head to my billets’ for dinner. Life there is great. They are very good cooks, and it’s lots of fun living here. Alan and I often play a game of pool. He wins most of the time, but little does he know, I practice regularly when he is not home so hopefully his win-

ning days will be over soon. On most nights I end up watching TV with them as we have gotten interested in a couple shows (Blacklist and Big Bang Theory).

I believe it’s important to have a good relationship with your billets as it will help you grow as a person.

Well, that’s what a regular day looks like for me. I do think it’s important to know what happens away from the rink when most see us at games.

I hope you all enjoy this weekend.

Graham Millar had a lot of fun scoring his first Western Hockey League goal.

The Penticton product plays for the Saskatoon Blades and registered the point on the power play on Oct. 5 in a 5-3 win against the Edmonton Oil Kings.

“It was crazy. Kind of a gift,” said Millar. “The goalie just passed it right to me.”

Millar, who dressed for three games as an affiliate player with the Penticton Vees over two seasons, now has two goals and four points in 13 games and is minusfive. Scored has given Millar the confidence that he can fill the net. Millar said each day he’s getting more comfortable with the league and is working hard to not be a liability on the ice.

“It’s been so much fun, hard, but we’re getting better every day,” said Millar, who put up seven goals and 15 points in 34 games last season with the Okanagan Rockets in the B.C. Major Midget League. “We had a rough start and now we’re .500.”

Undrafted, Millar was listed by the Blades during the fall of 2011-12 and attended two camps. In preparation for this year’s camp, Millar attended the BCHL Alberni Valley Bull-

dogs training camp. Millar said he knew who he was up against so it gave him an idea of how he would do at Saskatoon’s camp.

In making the jump from major midget, Millar said time with the puck is limited as players get on the opposition quickly.

“It’s more physical, everybody is faster,” said Millar, who won a peewee Tier 2 provincial championship with Penticton.

Lakers sought consistency at KSS Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

The Pen High Lakers senior boys volleyball team was after consistency during the Kelowna Secondary School Owls tournament.

Lakers coach Paul Mend saw that at times during the weekend. Mend said that the tournament “was a mixed bag” for them.

After finishing second in their pool, they lost to Spruce Grove 25-23 and 25-23. The best they could finish after that was ninth. The Lakers defeated David Thompson from Vancouver before running into Spruce Grove. The Lakers opened with wins over Vernon’s Fulton Secondary and Mt. Sentinel from Slocan Valley, each 2-0.

Mend said some players stepped up, while others still need to.

“We are in the hunt with the top teams in the province,” said Mend, of what he learned about his team during the weekend.

With Kevin Saunders out with a knee injury, the Lakers are using a

6-2 system that allows them to generate more offence.

Mend, who has taken over the coaching duties from Paul Smith, due to health issues, said it’s important for all the players to show up like they did against the Mt.Boucherie Bears last Wednesday. The Lakers defeated them 25-18, 27-25, 25-18.

Cor De Waal, a middle blocker for the Lakers, said the team is at a good pace to peak for provincials, which is exactly what they want.

The Lakers senior girls team also competed in the tournament. They won two of six games. Coach Robert Gunning said all their losses game against teams ranked top five provincially.

“We are playing well, we are just having a little trouble finishing games against good teams,” he said.

The Lakers senior girls team is hosting a tournament this weekend. The action begins Friday at 1 p.m. and will also feature the Princess Margaret Mustangs.

Vees hone in on power play, face Vipers Emanuel Sequeira

Mauve Friday is Coming.

Western News Staff

For the last five games, the Penticton Vees’ power play has been a little less than dangerous, scoring twice on 21 tries. An efficiency rate under 10 per cent highlights the need for special attention, especially with the Vernon Vipers in town on Friday (7 p.m. start).

“Some of the stuff we’ve done in practice the last couple days is about trying to create offence,” said Vees coach-GM Fred Harbinson, who was pleased with the work ethic of his players. “Obviously on the power play, the last time we were at home we were two-out-of-three, which is good. The next night (Oct. 19 against the Langley Rivermen) we had some good looks, just couldn’t score

(0-for-7) and that’s probably the difference in a 1-1 game.”

The coaches want to find ways to spread out scoring. Harbinson feels his players have had good chances during the five-game stretch and told the players they are getting enough goals to win.

“That’s all that matters,” said Harbinson.

“I don’t want to be a team that scores five and loses. We’re not going to compromise the way we want to play to try to score more goals. If there are ways we can sort of tweak our game, to create scoring chances, that’s what we will do.”

Harbinson, whose team is first in the Interior Division at 10-3-1-1, said the BCHL

is so tight right now that there isn’t a lot of room on the ice and there are no easy plays or goals. It will not get easier against the Vipers (9-5-1-2), who have won six of their last seven games.

“They are resurging right now, big time,” said Harbinson, whose team climbed to eighth from 12th in the Canadian Junior Hockey League rankings as of Oct. 21. “This is a big game for us. We don’t play at home for another 22 days in between.”

Harbinson said the Vipers, who are playing with more passion up front, have more skill and look better than when the two teams last met in Vernon on Sept. 25, with the Vipers winning 3-1.

Western News Staff

Last time the Princes Margaret Mustangs girls field hockey team faced the Okanagan Mission Huskies, they lost 2-0 in Kelowna.

And this week, they drew even closer.

The Mustangs entered Wednesday’s game with two wins in four games and played to a 0-0 tie in Okanagan Valley AA league action on home turf.

Alaysha Funk was in goal for a second consecutive shutout.

“We played really well,” said Mustangs assistant coach Mark Hartmann, filling in for coach Christy Bevington. “The girls showed heart beating them to balls. We had opportunities to win. We weren’t just hanging on.”

Hartmann, who added it was fun to see the team be competitive, noted Kaycee McKinnon, Kendra Penner and Madison Cook for

Welcome to the driver’s seat

In a two-hour drive, the only time I dropped the anchors was when one of Amsterdam’s kazillion cyclists cut in front of me.

Keith Morgan

The BMWi electric car powered its way with ease around city streets and along picturesque Dutch canals.

KEITH MORGAN

The future is electric AMSTERDAM – BMW has joined the race for the electric car dollar.

On the evidence of two days driving the funky-looking all-electric i3 through the narrow streets of old Amsterdam and alongside the picturesque canals of rural Holland, the German manufacturer may have a winner.

For starters, it is simply great fun to drive. The lithium-ion battery, encased in an aluminum cage below the five-seater cabin, provides enough instant zap to the electric motor to propel the car smoothly to 100 klicks in less than eight seconds. Left the stopwatch

at home, but counting “one-and-two etc.” to count seconds, my lips barely mouthed “six” before the speedo leapt from 80 to 120 km/h while passing.

It handles beautifully at any speed and hugs the road; thanks to the technology-laden aluminum platform, that gives it a very low centre of gravity. Turns on a Euro too, as we found during the many U-turns made on blocked streets.

Of course, F1 take-offs will suck the battery dry somewhat more quickly but you need not be a snail in the so-called Comfort mode to achieve the advertised 160 kilometres range on a full

Most of the focus on the collector car world comes from televised auctions where six-figure cars are the norm, so it’s easy to conclude that the average person is priced out of the collector car world.

But the fact of the matter is there are still plenty of interesting collectible cars out there for under $10,000.

Granted, they tend to be from the 1970s and 1980s rather than the 1950s or 1960s, but they’re all fun to drive and relatively easy to live with.

Here are three of our favorites: 1. 1985-93 Ford Mustang: The third generation or “Fox” platform Mustang brought affordable V-8 muscle back to the masses.

Although it was introduced in 1979, better breathing cylinder heads and a re-designed four-barrel carburetor in 1985 pushed horsepower

above 200 for the first time since the early 1970s.

The relatively light and simple design of the car made the best use of the newfound ponies. While the oldest are just under 30 years old, the collector world is starting to wake up.

Classic cars for $10,000 or less Shunned by Chevy fans and import fans alike, it really is a poor-man’s Porsche, with styling on the second generation cars as nice as anything to come out of Germany, Italy or the U.S. at that time.

Corvairs pioneered the use of turbocharging, and later cars could be made to handle quite well with some relatively inexpensive modifications, in spite of what Ralph Nader said. Incidentally, the 50th anniversary of the book “Unsafe at Any Speed” is coming up the year after next.

Good reason to buy a Corvair, we think.

Dashboard symbol saves lives Kal Tire educates Canadians about TPMS and why it’s necessary A tire’s number one enemy isn’t road hazards; it’s under-inflation. Most drivers know low tire pressure can lead to skidding, hydroplaning and blow outs, even losing control of a vehicle.

Yet most people aren’t aware of a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) in their vehicle and they don’t recognize the low tire pressure light that could save their life.

According to Transport Canada, a recent study indicated that about 50 per cent of the vehicles on the road in Canada have at least one tire that is either over or under-inflated by more than 10 per cent. In fact, 10 per cent of all vehicles surveyed had at least one tire underinflated by 20 per cent. This represents a real safety issue. Canada Safety Council states that under-inflation is the leading cause of tire failure. In the U.S., the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration estimates 660 people per year are killed as a result of under-inflated tires.

Low tire pressure has a big impact on road safety. Since you can’t always tell if a tire’s pressure is low just by looking at it, tire pressure monitoring systems were created to warn drivers when this happens. The symbol, which illuminates on the dashboard, appears like a treaded horseshoe surrounding an exclamation mark.

“TPMS is such an important safety feature, but we’re finding a lot of drivers don’t know what TPMS is and there is skepticism about its value,” says Carey Hull, director of retail products, Kal Tire. “Just like seatbelts and air bags, TPMS can save lives. We want to help Canadians understand TPMS, what the warning light looks like and what to do when they see the symbol light up on their dashboard.”

A tire loses its ability to manage the vehicle’s

weight when pressure drops as little as five per cent. As a result, steering, braking and suspension can suffer. If the TPMS senses your tire is under-inflated by 25 per cent or more below the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended air pressure, the TPMS symbol illuminates on your dashboard.

This is a warning to pull over and check your tire pressure. Once checked, if the tires all appear normal, proceed with caution to a tire service centre to have them properly inspected.

“Ideally, everyone would check their tire pressure monthly, long before it’s ever under-inflated by 25 per cent, because at that point, you could be in danger,” says Hull. “Ideally drivers would never see the TPMS symbol illuminate on their dashboard, but if they do, we want them to be able to respond appropriately.”

Starting in 2007, TPMS became a legislated feature on all passenger vehicles sold in the United States, the first country to mandate TPMS. Today, nearly 70 per cent of new vehicles sold in Canada are TPMSequipped, but the feature isn’t mandated here.

Schrader International, the leading supplier of TPMS

sensors, valves, tools and training, predicts that over the next decade, TPMS will be a standard safety feature on all vehicles globally.

“Initially, there was a lot of skepticism from people in the US as well,” says Trevor Potter, vice president sales and marketing, North America, Schrader International. “Drivers didn’t yet

understand the value of having a system that automatically detects low tire pressure, but that’s changed in the last few years. In the US, more and more people know what it is now, and they appreciate it.”

We are approaching a busy season for winter tire changeovers. Consumers should be aware of what needs to be done to the TPMS in their vehicle when changing tires. If a new set of wheels are being purchased with new tires, new TPMS sensors may need to also be purchased and the system will need to be reset. If a set of tires are being installed on existing rims, then TPMS service will be required.

The extra service fee charged to ensure the system is working on new tires sometimes confuses and upsets Canadians who haven’t heard of TPMS, says Hull. “There is a sense

of frustration from people when they come into the store and they have to have TPMS work done, but once we explain what it is and that it could prevent tire failure, people are more accepting.”

When new vehicles first started entering Canada with TPMS installed, Kal Tire chose to embrace the technology and the safety it gives drivers. All Kal Tire technicians are fully trained in TPMS procedures and are equipped with the latest diagnostic tools in order to ensure the TPMS is working properly.

Maintaining the TPMS in a vehicle may cost a few extra dollars, but it will also save money. Tires that wear evenly last longer. Some tire manufacturers advise that just five PSI below placard pressure could lessen a tire’s life by as much as 25 per cent. Proper tire inflation also provides

better fuel economy, saving money at the pump. Most importantly, maintaining the TPMS in a vehicle can save lives.

LEIPZIG, Germany: BMW believes there is a big future for wind power in its cars.

No, not for the propulsion of the prestige brand’s models but the making of their sleek machines of the future.

Long before visitors arrive at the auto manufacturer’s new hi-tech factory in this economically depressed region of what was once communist East Germany, they are greeted with a wave from four giant wind turbines.

Those metal giants power the production of the impressive five-seater BMW i3, test driven today in Driveway.

The i3 models now roll silently off the production line; silently, not just because it’s an all-electric vehicle but also because the entire manufacturing process rarely rises above a whisper.

The BMW i3 is the first of the manufacturer’s projects for which the environmental sustainability objectives were determinedly set at the same high standards as the economic goals applied to the manufacturing process.

Next year, it will be joined by the i8, which looks every inch a super-sports car.

To achieve those lofty dual goals, the BMW Group retains close control over the complete production

process from the carbon fibre production, which starts in a hydroelectric powered plant in Moses Lake, Wa. Entire noisy and stinky processes associated with manufacturing in steel are gone.

Robots screw and bond the important parts together and send the shells on their way, suspended from an overhead rail.

Happy workers can actually hear each other chat down on the factory floor, bathed in sunlight and breathing freely courtesy of an efficient hi-tech ventilation system.

Amazingly, the energy used is 50 percent of that required to turn out a conventional car and 70 percent less water is used.

My group roamed around looking for waste, which turned out to be a waste (of time) in itself.

The bits and bats and ‘wasted’ trim are gathered up and recycled for use elsewhere along the production line.

BMW even boasts the lithium ion batteries that power each car’s motor will outlive the individual car’s life.

They can be used as storage batteries when the car is put out to pasture, sorry, recycled.

If one of the eight modules should fail, then a replacement easily drops in rather than there be a need for an entire battery replacement.

The lightweight body is also designed with a view to quick and economical repair in the event of a collision.

Body parts again drop into place with the minimum of fuss and cost.

BMW says the cost of a fix will likely mirror that of putting a BMW 1-series back on the road after a similar crash. keith.morgan@drivewaybc. ca, twitter.com/ changegears

The Lowdown Power: 2.0L 4-cylinder with 155hp or 2.5L with 184hp Fill-up: 9.9L/7.0L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $15,995$29,895

The new Mazda 3, built with Skyactiv Technology, comes in sedan or hatchback (bottom) and the GS and GT trims come equipped with a navigation screen (below).

2014 Mazda 3: Tops in its class Mazda, on a global scale, is a small company, so developing new products is a major undertaking.

This is why they shared engineering with the Ford Motor Company for many years, but that relationship dissolved in 2010.

Instead of modifying existing, co-developed vehicle platforms, engines and transmission, the company took a radical turn in the way they develop new products. I’m sure by now you have seen Mazda’s ads for “Skyactiv Technology.”.

This is the name for their radical design and manufacturing approach.

By engineering vehicles from a blank sheet of paper, Mazda could focus on simplifying the manufacturing process to save money, a crucial part of this small company’s survival.

The new 2014 Mazda 3 is the third vehicle to be built using Mazda’s Skyactiv

‘‘

On the road the steering is very quick and the feedback well above average.

Zack Spencer

’’

Technology, behind the Mazda CX-5 SUV and Mazda 6 sedan.

Looks The platform used to build the all new Mazda 3 is a shared chassis with the other two Skyactiv products.

They elongate, widen or shorten the platform to suit each vehicle. In this case, it is slightly shorter then the CX-5. In fact, the new

Mazda 3 is lower, wider and slightly shorter than the last model but the wheelbase has been stretched by 60mm. This pushes the wheels out to the corner of the car, providing a solid stance and improving interior space. Then Mazda went about hand forming the body to produce a style that conveys motion, even standing still. Sold as a sedan or hatchback, the long hood, sweeping lines and powerful stance make a statement in a class that can be rather subdued.

Inside The goal for this latest model was to have a dynamic looking interior, fitted with materials and features not typically found in a compact car.

The dashboard is covered with a soft material, rather a plush-feeling dash. Then there is the dash-mounted communication screen

placed in the centre of the dash.

This is standard on the middle GS and upper GT trim; the base GX is not so lucky.

The driver can touch the screen to access music, navigation and phone settings but once the car is in motion the screen is only adjustable through a rotary dial controller between the front seats.

Mazda places three, easy-to-memorize, buttons above the dial for access to the most common functions. On the top GT model there is even a heads-up display that sits right on top of the driver’s instrument cluster, helping to keep the information high enough that it focuses the driver’ s attention on the road.

The seats are comfortable

and can be fitted with leather on the top model.

Even though Mazda lengthened the wheelbase by 60mm, the back seat isn’t long on legroom.

Drive By developing the direct injection engines, chassis and transmission at the same time, the Mazda engineers were able to shed weight.

The lighter platform and powerful 2.0L 4-cylinder with 155hp is a nice match on the base and GS trim levels, driving either a 6-speed manual or all-new 6-speed automatic.

The top GT is equipped with a 2.5L engine with 184hp but is only available with the automatic. I’m surprised that the manual is not offered with this engine, as driving enthusiasts will

be attracted to this engine right away.

On the road, the steering is very quick and the feedback well above average.

The previous Mazda3 was at the top of the class in terms of driving dynamics and this new model takes it to a whole new level. I’m confident in saying that this new model feels like a much more expensive car.

Verdict The standard features list is strong, including keyless entry, push button start, Bluetooth and USB connectivity for $15,995.

If you equip the base model with air conditioning and automatic transmission, the price jumps to $18,795.

The middle GS trim is the place most Canadians will

shop and the range is from $19,695-$22,595 for things like heated seats, leather steering wheel, rain sensing wipers and more.

The top GT with the larger engine, 18-inch wheels, xenon headlamps, Bose stereo and navigation, ranges from $25,855-$$29,855.

As you can see, the price can ratchet up rather quickly. The upside is that this is a car that can provide solid, fun to drive transportation, wrapped in a stylish package. Higher-end models feel like a much more expensive car, with qualities not found previously in this class of car.

So, the price might be justified. I truly believe that Mazda is onto something, this is the best car in the compact class. zack@motormouth.ca

The show which lasted just over an hour long, included Lynn’s daughters Peggy and Patsy singing a few tunes off their latest album. Her Coal Miner’s band, with players who have been with her for over 30 years, also shared the spotlight.

Celebrating 50 years in the business on this tour, Lynn is showing no signs of slowing down. In September she announced a slew of projects set for release, including a Christmas album, a record of “mountain songs” and a religious album.

Lynn touched on some of those gospel songs with Everyone Wants to Go to Heaven and Where No One Stands Alone. She finished her set with the classic Coal Miner’s Daughter and gracefully exited the stage to a roaring audience.

There is plenty to be said about the accolades and history Lynn has in the business, but she says it best herself, “If you’re lookin’ at me, you’re lookin’ at country.”

Makeup artist Curtis Lloyd, who works for Melt Mineral spa, applies zombie blood to the face of executive director kerri Milton of the Downtown penticton association in preparation for the Oct. 31 Zombie Walk on Main street.

It will probably be the only time Kerri Milton hopes for a mob of braineating undead to lumber down Main Street.

The Downtown Penticton Association is presenting the first Zombie Walk and Costume Parade, inviting people of all ages, and their dogs, to dress up and show off their Halloween best.

There is no fee or registration required, just show up and participate.

“We wanted to do a Day of the Dead which is Nov. 1 and celebrates Spanish heritage, but after talking to merchants everyone wanted to do it on Halloween. We started kicking around ideas and with the TV show Walking Dead being so popular and places like Calgary and Vancouver doing zombie walks we thought why not Penticton?” said Milton, executive director of the Downtown Penticton Association.

Those who love Halloween, but aren’t dressing up, are also invited to check out the parade, a haunted house at Voodoo’s to walk through, face-painting for kids and a psychic fair in front of Hooked On Books.

Numerous prizes will be handed out to those

dressing up in different costume categories including best zombie, best angel or fairy, best ninja or athlete, best princess, best witch, most beautiful costume, best hand-made costume and best dog in costume.

“We have a ton of businesses giving out prizes for costumes.

People don’t have to just be zombies, there are

prizes for a variety of costumes and we want all ages coming out,” said Milton.

Businesses will have their carved pumpkins on display and the public is invited to vote on their favourite. While perusing the pumpkins, Milton said those dressed up can do trick or treating in the stores.

The parade will start

to gather on Main Street at Nanaimo Avenue at 4 p.m. and begin walking at 4:30 p.m. The route will end on Front Street, where judging will take place and prizes will be handed out in addition to face painting, live music from Mat Duffus and Chef Hong Lac at the Wild Scallion will be concocting creepy foods for sale by donation.

Haunted house adds new thrills Mark Brett

Western News Staff

If you enjoy being chased by a chainsawwielding, blood-spattered zombie or ducking basketball-sized spiders, then you have to visit Creekside Insanitorim.

For the second year, Erik Laflamme and wife Lisa have pulled out all the stops at their home at 796 Eckhardt Ave. East to scare the pants off those brave enough to enter.

“I guess it’s kind of a sickness and I admit a little warped, but it is just so much fun to see the reactions of people,” said Erik who married Lisa in a costumed ceremony on Oct. 31, 2010.

“It’s like a roller-coaster ride, it’s an adrenaline rush, and people keep coming back and getting in line to do it again.”

The house is open Monday to Wednesday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Halloween night it opens at 6 p.m.

The first thing visitors to the residence see when they enter the gate are the cemeteries

Dr. Frank (Erik Laflamme) works on a “patient” in his laboratory at his haunted house called the Creekside Insanitorium at 796 Eckhardt ave. East. Below, he places a bunch of black roses at a soonto-be grave site at the Halloween cemetery. The spooktacular show begins Monday evening and runs through Hallloween.

in a bloody sheet dangles from a noose. And it only gets better.

Inside the darkened buildings is another world of terror where the creatures and critters come at you when you least expect it. Faint cries and humourless laughter ring in your ears and the non-dead patrol the shadows for new victims.

Also inside are the head and hands in the wooden stocks, which are all that remain of Mr. Bones, whose fleshless spine whips back and forth behind him.

A new addition this year is the black-light

lab of Dr. Frank and his able partner Dr. Stein, who is feeling just a little out of sorts..

But do watch your step.

The work to set up the annual attraction generally takes several days and again this year, Erik has maxed out the seasonal budget to make things just a little more frightening.

“We’ve added an extra room, we’ve added a few extra actors and this year we actually have two full graveyards,” he said. “People can look forward to Dr. Frank and his associate Dr. Stein and their latest ex-

periment, lots of spooky sounds and lots of candy and a good time.

“I think it’s definitely the scariest of the haunted houses in town.”

This year cash donations are being accepted for the Upper Dek Vees hockey team and there will be bins set up for people to drop off nonperishable food items for the Salvation Army food bank.

Erik urges parents of young children to visit the house first before bringing their kids and also advises those with medical conditions about the use of strobe lights.

100-Mile Book Club

All around town, readers are kind enough to stop me and offer up book suggestions. In the past few months, here’s what you had to say about some of your favorite reads: In between pushups at exercise class I was told about Trauma Farm: A Rebel History of Rural Life by Brian Brett. I had first seen this book title on the long list for the 2009 B.C. Book Prizes. This great mix of farming history and daily life on Salt Spring Island went on to win the Writers’ Trust of Canada non-fiction prize.

A second book recommended during exercise was The Curve of Time, a book from the 60s, by M. Wylie Blanchet. This is an obscure but classic memoir about a widow and her children who explored the coastal waters of the Pacific Northwest.

While getting new keys cut I was reminded of a book on the long list for Canada Reads last year, No Great Mischief

by Alistair McLeod. It tells a spellbinding story of family, loyalty, exile and the narrator’s roots in Cape Breton Island.

At the doctor’s office for my son’s ear infection, I came away with a prescription and three book titles. Shantaram is a 2003 novel by Gregory David Roberts, which chronicles the life of an Australian bank robber and heroin addict who escapes prison and flees to India; Lonesome Dove is a 1995 Pulitzer-prize

Letting Go The angels gathered near your bed So very close to you For they knew the pain & suffering That you were going through I thought about so many things As I held tightly to your hand Oh, how I wished that you were strong And happy once again But your eyes were looking homeward To that place beyond the sky Where Jesus held His outstretched arms It was time to say “goodbye” I struggled with my selfish thoughts For I wanted you to stay So we could walk & talk again Like we did - just yesterday But Jesus knew the answer And I knew He loved you so So I gave to you life’s greatest gift The gift of letting go Now my heart will carry memories Of the love you gave to me Until we meet again in Heaven Where the best is yet to be Miss you so much, Mom Love from your children; Albert (Jill), Lorraine (Bob) and Heather (Gary)

Notice of Alternative Approval Process

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN pursuant to Section 86 of the Community Charter, that the Board of Directors of the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen seeks the approval of the electors within the boundaries Village of Keremeos, Electoral Areas “B” and “G” for the adoption of the Similkameen Country Visitor Information Centre Contribution Service Bylaw No. 2622, 2013.

In general terms, the bylaw is to establish a service for the purpose of contributing funds to the Similkameen Country Development Association to assist with the operation of the Similkameen Country Visitor Information Centre.

The alternative approval process applies to qualified electors within the service area, which comprises the Village of Keremeos, and Electoral Areas “B” (Cawston) and “G” (Keremeos Rural/Hedley).

The annual maximum amount that may be requisitioned under the Local Government Act for the Similkameen Country Visitor Information Centre Contribution Service is $33,000 or $0.0543 per thousand dollars of next taxable value of land and improvements in the service area.

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT the Regional District may proceed to adopt Similkameen Country Visitor Information Centre Contribution Service Bylaw No. 2622, 2013 unless at least ten percent (10%) of the qualified electors (those meeting the criteria below) indicate their opposition to the bylaw by signing the Elector Response Form.

The Regional District has estimated the total number of qualified electors in the service area (Village of Keremeos and Electoral Areas “B” and “G”) to be 4,088 and that 10% of that number, or 409 qualified electors, must submit signed Elector Response Forms to prevent the Regional District from adopting the bylaw without the full assent of the electors by referendum.
