Boonstock, the music festival pushed out of Alberta and hoping to relocate to Penticton, seems to have gotten off on the wrong foot with local officials.

Penticton Mayor Garry Litke, who had only heard of the festival’s intentions this week, voiced his displeasure with how the Boonstock organizer approached his Tuesday announcement of moving to Penticton.

The Boonstock website stated they had the support of both city council and the Penticton Indian Band, where it is hoping to host the event Aug. 1 to 3.

“I told him that on his website it says it is supported by the City of Penticton and I said to get that off the website because it is not supported by the city,” asserted Litke.

“He agreed to remove that,” said Litke.

The mayor said he met with Penticton RCMP Supt. Kevin Hewco on Wednesday to discuss what steps the festival has taken with their security plan, only to find there has been none.

“Supt. Hewco has no idea where he can get the required number of officers from on the long weekend because they are already totally busy,” said Litke.

“From the RCMP perspective, this is a non-starter because the promoter has not been in touch and not provided a security plan.

“Insp. Hewco doesn’t even think he can provide that level of policing that would be necessary even if he wanted to.”

Litke added the city is not against bringing events of this type to the community and cited the Rock The Peach festival which he said had a well-executed plan, but it was not financially successful for the promoters.

“At first blush I thought Boonstock would be great, bringing 6,000 people in

town who are going to eat in our restaurants and go on wine tours and climb at the bluffs,” said Litke.

“That would be great.

“But, there has been no planning that we have been part of and we certainly are not interested in jeopardizing the safety of our community and citizens.”

Litke said if the Boonstock organizers come back with the security plan and all the appropriate approvals they can begin talking about putting on the event with council.

“But, those are pretty significant hurdles.” he said.

Boonstock promoter Colin Kobza said there has been some confusion and he has met with police and plans to reach out again.

“There is maybe some miscommunication because the city thinks I haven’t met with them, but I have met with them,” he said.

“What I did pass along is that we would be providing our safety and policy and procedure plan here in the next few weeks.”

In September, Sturgeon County council, where the festival had taken place the past nine years near Gibbons, Alta., received a scathing report from the police, county and Alberta health officials about the most recent Boonstock. It led to a new land-use bylaw being created that essentially will not allow Boonstock to operate there.

The report cites issues brought up by RCMP, including traffic congestion and short event staffing taking police away from their planned duties.

Mounties said event security did not know how some of the liquor laws applied and nothing was being done to those contravening them and when the event reached capacity, organizers used space outside the permitted area for parking.

Atamanenko eyes retirement and return to skiing Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

With just under two years to go before the next federal election, MP Alex Atamanenko announced he won’t be running for office again.

The NDP MP for B.C. Southern Interior said he considered the

move for more than a year.

“I wanted to be able to make that announcement as soon as possible so we can start doing some work on the ground and get another candidate,” said Atamanenko. “That’s the reason I made it now as opposed to a

year from now.”

Atamanenko is in the midst of his third term as MP, but he was involved in politics since 2003, running and losing against Conservative MP Jim Gout in 2004, before coming back in 2006 to win and again in 2008.

In 2011, he won once

more, with 50.9 per cent of the vote.

“People ask me why I am doing this.

In two years I am going to be 70 years old. I think that’s a respectable time to take one’s retirement,” said Atamanenko. “The first time I retired from teaching, I was 55. I think this will be my final retirement.”

Atamanenko calls his time as MP the most enriching experience of his life. Since 2006, he has held several critic portfolios, including food security, rural affairs, and agriculture.

“It’s been so challenging. I’ve met so many dedicated people, I’ve had a chance to travel the country,” he said. “I’ve been working with so many people, whether its farmers or farm organizations or others fighting for social justice.”

B.C. Southern Interior is a diverse riding, stretching from the Okanagan Valley to the Kootenays.

Atamanenko said he has been fortunate to explore the riding and its many small communities, rather than just drive through as many travellers do.

“I’d like to

thank Alex for his contributions to our caucus and our movement,” said NDP Leader Tom Mulcair.

“He has been a great representative for BC Southern Interior.”

The upcoming redistribution of federal riding boundaries was not a factor in his decision not to run again, Atamanenko said.

“I was thinking about the possibility of doing this as early as before the last election.

I would have made that same decision had the boundaries stayed the same.”

Looking down the road to his retirement in two years, Atamanenko said his wife, Ann, is supportive of his decision.

“I think my next job is going to be to get a good winter’s wood supply in and just hang out at home, maybe play a little music, keep my ski legs strong for some more powder skiing.”

“I’ve been proud to serve the people of BC Southern Interior,” said Atamanenko. “As I look ahead to retirement in two years, I’d like to thank my constituents for electing me to represent their interests in Ottawa.”

Local liquor vendors voice concerns

By Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Some private liquor retailers in Penticton are calling on the B.C. government to stay out of the cold-beer business.

Owners of three stores outlined their concerns in letters submitted to the government and posted on a dedicated website during a months-long public consultation on a possible overhaul of liquor laws. Andy Virk, president of the Barley Mill pub and liquor store, said he met with colleagues from the Government Street Liquor Store and Fairview Liquor Store to develop a united front.

At the top of their list of concerns is the possible expansion of a pilot program that has seen coolers installed in a handful of B.C. government liquor stores. Selling cold beer at an additional cost is one of the few advantages held by private retailers, he explained, so losing it could be catastrophic for his business.

“Any competition they create against our licences puts lots of things in jeopardy. At my place, I’ve got 38 employees here, and the liquor store is the one that supports the pub side too, the primary licence. And if I don’t have a liquor licence, I won’t be doing business,” said Virk.

He and the other Penticton owners also asked the government to consider selling off its liquor stores and distribution system, and allowing private liquor stores to sell directly to other businesses like hotels and restaurants.

The letters were submitted well before John Yap, the minister in charge of the review, mused this week about the support he’d received for allowing booze to be sold in grocery stores and convenience stores. Virk

won’t support such a change, he feels it raises too many safety concerns and could limit competition.

“I guess the bigger corporations are going to get bigger and the smaller guys are going to get squeezed out. That’s what it’s going to be,” he said.

Local service clubs also submitted letters to the government.The Elks Lodge noted that in addition to an $1,100 annual renewal fee for its liquor licence, it also pays an additional $220 to update its lists of directors and officers, which change annually. The club asked that non-profits be allowed to pay a one-time fee.

Meanwhile, the Fraternal Order of Eagles requested that children be allowed in its establishment until after the dinner hour.

The owner of a downtown Penticton pool hall also submitted a letter in which he argued it’s not right that kids who visit to participate in a youth league are not allowed into the larger licensed area of the facility.

“As my venue is activity-based, liquor consumption is not a primary focus,” wrote Tim Scott of Cue’s Game Room.

“What youth experience is an environment where those adults who do consume liquor do so in a responsible manner.

“It is actually the mix in ages which promotes the ‘family’ welcoming atmosphere that prevails and attracts all ages, making everyone feel comfortable.”

The government also received submissions from groups representing the wine industry, such as the B.C. Estate Winery Association, which met with Yap earlier this week in Penticton.

That group requested red tape be cleared up at wineries and their restaurants, and that

the provincial liquor tax be dropped to seven per cent from 10.

It also asked for a special section in government liquor stores to showcase high-end VQA wines that cost over $25 a bottle, which

would “help position our wines on the world stage of premium wines.”

Public consultation on the liquor law review closed Thursday. Yap’s final report and recommendations are due by Nov. 25.

BOONSTOCK - report shows festival had problems “The RCMP cannot participate in future events if there are no controls that are going to be enforced,” said the report.

“We cannot get extra human resources on a moment’s notice when we have already tied up so many for this event.”

Alberta Health Services said the EMS providers also experienced difficulties receiving accurate and timely information from Boonstock and ambulances transported twice the patient volume (43) than the year prior with the majority being drug overdoses.

Despite this, EMS said it was the most well run Boonstock event yet.

Costs paid by Boonstock for supplementary policing were $125,000 and $25,000 for ambulance support.

A letter from Ron Ebbers, a

neighbour to the Boonstock festival site last year, said he felt that the event poses a threat to the community.

The letter said they were shocked and outraged that RCMP confiscated a loaded gun, dealt with drug trafficking and a home invasion.

Ebbers was contacted by phone and said he was glad to see the festival gone from the area.

He offered words of “good luck” to the residents on Penticton and that “actions speak louder than words,” when it comes to the promoter.

“When you read other posts and talk to people it is the party with alcohol and drugs they talk about not the music or bands. What does that say? Boonstock has outgrown our community and needs to move on,”

COlIn kOBZa, would like to bring the Boonstock music festival to Penticton, but the welcome has not been positive.

Facebook photo

wrote Ebbers in his letter to Sturgeon council.

Kobza did not deny there were

issues and said there will be changes to the security plan. The event in Penticton, he said, will be scaled back in scope and size compared to last year’s event which drew some 65,000 people over the Canada Day long weekend.

“There were some challenges.

I think Sturgeon County definitely did make a wrong decision, less than one per cent of people at Boonstock did cause a problem,” he said.

Penticton Indian Band Chief Jonathan Kruger also said Kobza’s event does not have the backing of the PIB council just yet and called the festival announcement of moving to Penticton “premature.”

Kruger said the PIB council is also waiting to see a security plan and the other steps they laid out for Kobza before he could get the go-

ahead.

Boonstock would be leasing land from a locatee (private) land owner on the PIB and Kruger said there are no bylaws that would prevent that from taking place.

But, there are things that potentially could be done to make the event not feasible.

“Yes, at the end of the day council does have authority to do something because they control the roads that go into the locatee lands. You can’t just throw up a good idea and go with it,” said Kruger.

“You have to have the proper plan and strategies.

“I’m sure council will do something to reaffirm the steps that need to be taken and it will be up to Colin to see if those steps are executed or not.”

Ambrosia apples a winning choice Western News Staff

It was a lucky accident that brought Ambrosia apples to the market two decades ago.

First, it was lucky that Mother Nature created a natural hybrid in a Similkameen orchard with not only a delicious taste, but also stored well. Then, of course, it was lucky the Mennells discovered the apple in their orchard and identified it as something special.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of these fortuitous events, Ambrosia Apples has launched a Orchard to Table recipe contest online at ambrosiaapplescontest.com.

“The contest is about bringing people, food and fantastic flavours together, with a chance to win great prizes,” said a spokesperson for the group. “Ambrosia apples were cre-

ated by nature and we want to know how Canadians create in the kitchen with them. Then we’ll share those recipes with the world.”

Besides their taste, Ambrosia apples have some special qualities as a recipe ingredient. They’re slow to brown, have a natural sweetness, and retain their shape when baked or cooked. The main rule for the contest is that Ambrosia apples, raw or cooked, must be prominently featured in the dish.

There are four prizes from Cuisinart and Breville totaling over $1500. First prize is a Cuisinart 5.5 quart stand mixer, second prize is a Breville Juice Fountain Elite and third prize is a Breville All in One. There is also a People’s Choice prize of a Cuisinart 5.5 quart stand mixer.

The strain of apple was registered in 1993, but was chanced upon

the early 1990s, when workers in Wilfrid and Sally Mennell’s orchard tasted the bi-coloured apples from a lone tree unlike the others in the orchard. The fruit was so good they stripped the tree clean.

Now, Ambrosia apples often win converts at first bite, according to Glen Lucas, general manager of the B.C. Fruit Growers Association, who spent some time handing out samples of the fruit at an agricultural fair in Regina last winter.

Often, said Lucas, a passerby would tell them something like “I only eat Gala,” but after trying a sample of Ambrosia soon change their tune to “I have a new favourite.”

The contest begins at 9 a.m. Nov. 1 and runs through to Dec. 10 at 4 p.m. Full rules can be found online at ambrosiaapplescontest.com.

Water is cycling through a large container containing about 35,000 fertilized Kokanee eggs in the Penticton Flyfishers’ newly renovated hatchery.

When hatched and raised, the Kokanee fry will be released into Ellis Creek in hopes of restoring the run there.

But the eggs are just a portion of the 100,000 the club hopes to harvest from Kokanee spawning up the Okanagan River Channel.

While their first attempts at netting Kokanee last week were not successful, the club, working with provincial fisheries biologists, was successful in later attempts after shifting their net from the mouth the channel to closer to the spawning grounds.

Farmers market moves wares indoors for holiday season Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Farmers packed up their produce one last time in downtown Penticton on Saturday at the final outdoor market of the year.

About 40 vendors turned out for the last sale of the 25-week season.

Cawston grower James Duperron, who has sold at the Penticton event for two decades, is looking forward to some time off, but not until after he shifts his attention to a winter market in Vancouver.

“I could do it every Saturday there if I wanted, right through the winter, but I quit Dec. 14. There’s a holiday market where I sell all my dried fruits and jams, then after that I take a break until the end of February,” he explained.

Duperron, whose farm is called Ambercott Acres, busies himself through the winter months with orchard chores like pruning fruit trees.

“I enjoy the down time, but it’s nice to get back (to the market) though,” he said.

“After you come back in May, everybody’s eager.

“It’s part of the lifestyle.

“It’s not just a job.”

Penticton man Ryan Austman, a regular market customer, said he’s disappointed to see the end of the season because it helps him support local farmers and give his kids “a good connection to food.”

He’s unsure how they’ll spend next Saturday morning.

“I don’t know,” Austman said. “Relax.

Eat waffles.”

Erick Thompson, assistant manager of

the Penticton Farmers’ Market, said although the number of vendors had dwindled gradually from a high of about 80 at the summer peak, he was pleased with the turnout from buyers and sellers at the tail end of the season.

“It’s been pretty strong for October, considering the weather isn’t ideal,” Thompson said.

“We’ve noticed a lot of regulars coming out.

This is the grocery store for them.”

He said a focus next season will be on adding cooking demonstrations, like a trial version this month that featured WEDNESDAY

chef Paul Cecconi from Brodo Kitchen.

“The idea with that is you take the vegetables, the produce, fruit, whatever is available at that time of year and that’s what the chef uses to cook,” Thompson said.

A video of Cecconi’s demonstration is available on Youtube.

While the outdoor markets are now finished, there will be four indoor sessions between now and Christmas at the Shatford Centre.

Sale dates are Nov. 2, 16 and 30, and Dec. 21, from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.

Harpergate in the works It is pretty hard to go through a day without hearing another juicy tidbit from the Senate debacle currently occupying Parliament Hill and newscasts.

The interesting twist this week is the claim

by Senator Mike Duffy that the Prime Minister’s Office knew of the back room deals being made for the repayment of inappropriate housing allowance claims.

To no one’s surprise Prime Minister Stephen Harper denies any knowledge of the deals.

However, a poll conducted by Ekos Research and iPolitics.ca indicates Harper is skating on thin ice.

Of the 1,377 Canadians polled, 40 per cent said they believed Senator Duffy’s version of the story which implicates Prime Minister Harper.

Conversely, only 18 per cent of those polled believed the Prime Minister’s claim that his former chief of staff, Nigel Wright, acted alone in settling covering Senator Duffy’s repayment of living allowance funds.

As the scandal develops, it appears more and more difficult to believe Prime Minister Harper didn’t know what was going on in the PMO. It is the Prime Minister’s Office after all, and any good manager should know what is going on in their office.

Given Harper’s penchant for control, it is difficult to believe he had no idea Nigel Wright was going to write a cheque to Senator Duffy to PENTICTON cover the reimbursement of his inappropriate WESTERN housing allowance claims and his legal bills.

It appears Canadians smell Watergate on Parliament Hill, or more appropriately Harpergate.

Time will tell.

The downfall of the National Security Agency Politicians and government officials rarely tell outright lies; the cost of being caught out in a lie is too high.

Instead, they make carefully worded statements that seem to address the issue, but avoid the truth. Like, for example, Caitlin Hayden, the White House spokesperson who replied on 24 October to German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s angry protest at the tapping of her mobile phone by the U.S. National Security Agency.

“The United States is not monitoring and will not monitor the communications of Chancellor Merkel,” she said.

Yes, but has the U.S. been listening to Merkel’s mobile phone calls from 2002 until the day before yesterday?

“Beyond that, I’m not in a position to comment publicly on every specific alleged intelligence activity.”

By Oct. 27, the argument had moved on. The question now was: did President Barack Obama know the Chancellor’s phone was bugged? (The

German tabloid Bild am Sonntag reported that General Keith Alexander, head of the NSA, told Obama about it in 2010.

Obama allegedly said that the surveillance should continue, as “he did not trust her.”)

Now it was the turn of the NSA spokesperson, Vanee Vines, to deny the truth. “(General) Alexander did not discuss with President Obama in 2010 an alleged foreign intelligence operation involving German Chancellor Merkel, nor has he ever discussed alleged operations involving Chancellor Merkel,” she said.

But she carefully avoided saying that Obama had not been told at all.

The ridiculous thing about these meticulously crafted pseudo-denials is that they leave a truth-shaped hole for everyone to see.

Of course the United States has been listening to Angela Merkel’s phone calls since 2002, and of course Obama knew about it.

It would have been quite easy to deny those

the leaders of France, Spain and Italy, Egypt, Israel and Saudi Arabia, and Japan, India and Indonesia were also targeted. Not to mention Russia and China.

“If the Americans have tapped mobile phones in Germany, then they have broken German law on German soil.”

This will end up in the German courts, and probably in those of many other countries as well (and Snowden may well end up being granted asylum in Germany).

To rebuild its relations with its key allies, the White House is going to have to radically curb the NSA’s powers. Good. We don’t have to listen to the spooks and their allies telling us that since the new communications technologies make total surveillance possible, it is therefore inevitable.

“If it can be done, it will be done” is a counsel of despair. Most of the NSA’s everexpanding activities over the past ten years have served no legitimate purpose, and it’s high time that it was forced to obey both the letter and the spirit of the law.

Toughen up rules of the road

One thing I’ve noticed up here or wherever I’ve lived or visited is that there can be conflicts between special interest groups in an area. A large conflict brews up here between cyclists, motorists and pedestrians as well as another one between irresponsible dog handlers, responsible dog handlers and those who don’t own or are afraid or nervous of dogs.

First of all, only motorists presently are licensed and have to take exams to be allowed to drive on the roads. Cyclists and pedestrians are not.

Perhaps it would be worthwhile to introduce a course in elementary or high school that covers all three perspectives and includes training and information on how to be responsible in all three roles?

It may be too late to change the ways of people set in their ways, like teenagers, young adults, middle aged adults and seniors but surely young kids can be helped to understand that it is in their best interests to be safe in each of these roles?

Increased penalties should be brought about for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians who break traffic regulations or cause accidents. It’s often hard, to impossible, to track down escaped cyclists or pedestrians therefore there is a slight argument for increased use of traffic cameras (as distasteful as that suggestion is to me).

Deaths as a result of accidents and negligence should result in permanent loss of driving/cycling privileges.

As for the dog owner/handler community, enforcement of bylaws and education of the ignorant appear the greatest issues but what can one do about that?

Education/training prior to the ownership of a pet should be a law but is that enforceable? Violations should result in harsher penalties to the point of the pet being rescued and placed in a responsible home.

Book a golden read

My wife and I moved to Penticton this summer and from the local library I read a book titled Gold Mine to Gold Medal and Beyond by local resident Ivan McLelland. The book is a great inspiration for anybody who aspires to be the best they can, be it sports or whatever you do best. It’s a book I couldn’t put down.

About a small town team that accomplished one of the biggest victory’s Canada has ever achieved in hockey, when few people outside Penticton gave them much of a chance. It’s also about life, living a dream and overcoming hurdles.

Gold Mine to Gold Medal and Beyond is not only a marvelous ambassador for Penticton but the entire country, as is the person who penned it. Here’s hoping your wish comes true Ivan, and I’m sure the Alzheimer’s Society would agree.

Government priorities all wrong

I have been very upset with some of the developments by Prime Minister Harper. I know he loves flitting around the world as a leader-figure, but he is seriously neglecting things in Canada.

It was noble of him to chide Sri Lanka regarding human rights, but we in Canada have dire needs regarding aboriginal/First Nations treatment.

The poverty, terrible living conditions and high suicide rates bespeak a huge neglect of some of our citizens. Indian women have always been given second class treatment. The police have a very sorry record of this.

Where are the scientists to oversee and to do research on water, fishery and environmental needs? It is truly disgusting to spend $1 billion on a new secret building and not be able to fund valuable and needed research.

Fracking uses large amounts of water and pol-

ASK THE DOCTOR

lutes it all. Do we have people to check what the mining companies are doing to purify the water, which, untreated, is poison to all life? The new navigation rules, conveniently hidden in the omnibus budget will cause changes over the whole country.

Why not be honest and debate such topics openly and separately?

Get rid of sleazy senators or Mike Duffy and such. Where is the promise of an elected senate?

Defense spending is whacky — $22 million for designs? The coast helicopters must be replaced. It is criminal to have pilots fly the old ones. How much is spent on unnecessary limos, security and other perks? Prime Minster Harper’s personal security and travel costs must be enough to fund several scientists.

Trades training should be funded for a longer term with provincial and company cooperation.

Parliament should meet with longer time lines.

Proroguing has become a way of life for the Prime Minster. It is undemocratic and reflects badly on his whole attitude.

Botox® Botox® is a purified protein, derived from clostridium botulinum. It is administered, in small doses, by injection with a very fine needle. Botox® works by relaxing only the wrinkle forming muscles, thus allowing continued facial movement and expression.

The repeated contraction of muscles over time causes the formation of “expression lines” and wrinkles. For example, frowning or squinting often leads to “frown lines” or “crows’ feet”. Botox® has been used in medicine for over 20 years, Botox® Cosmetic has been approved

by Health Canada since 2001 for use in wrinkle therapy.

You will generally notice improvement of the wrinkles in the treated areas within just a few days of your treatment.

Results are natural looking, designed to enhance and refresh the way you look, not change it.

A heartfelt thank you to the Medical Staff at the Penticton General Hospital. You are the best in your profession. When I was in crisis you worked hard to get me back on my feet. Your diligence, incredible focus and unsurpassed caring has left me in awe of you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Police out of control

To give the police a carte blanche to act as judge and executioner and then be backed up by the crown prosecutor and peers with the less than flimsy excuse of self defence reeks of conspiracy through our justice system.

To execute a man who is kneeling down with his hands on the ground could hardly be taken as a threat to a police officer. As in other, similar cases, such as Mr. Dziekanski’s.

As a former police officer in Germany, I question the training methods of police officers in Canada, whose only method of dealing with an agitated individual of the public is to use lethal force.

Further, I question the method of selecting applicants, some of which can only be described as common thugs who are let loose on the public to instill fear and disgust, when a police officer should serve and protect the public and earn its respect and trust.

If you are looking for complete facial rejuvenation, we recommend the “Soft Lift” approach. This combines the benefits of filler with the added benefits of Botox, leaving you with a natural lift of the lower face, and softening of smile lines and expression lines around the eyes and forehead. Defy the laws of gravity, the options are endless!

United Way mobilizes community Mark Brett

Western News Staff

The United Way of the Central and South Okanagan/Similkameen has announced new funding programs for regional charities.

According to United Way executive director Marla O’Brien the grant systems target onetime investments and will make a significant difference in priority areas.

“We wanted to open the doors to new ways of investing in our communities, as well as new types of relationships between United Way and the charitable sector,” said O’Brien. “United Way strives to be more than a funder. We’re mobilizing a collective response to the needs in our community.”

strategies will make positive changes within the organization’s service areas, which includes over 100 notfor-profit groups New strategies provide up to $1,500 for pilot programs, collaborations between charities, events, necessary renovations and initiatives led by young people.

One local group benefiting from the grant program for the youth-led community project is the Esteem Team, which operates on the non-profit side of Get Bent Arts and Recreation.

Members Cline Balis, Elaina Collis and Nicole Chickloski received just over $1,000 to make presentations to kids about the impact of bullying, self esteem and media in the lives of Penticton youth.

The program is a partnership between Telus, Interior Savings and the United Way. “Being part of the GBAAS (Get Bent Active Arts Society) Esteem Team has been such a valuable experience,” said Elaina, the team leader for the last three years.

“As youth we see things differently than adults and are able to connect with our peers in a way that they know we relate and understand what they might be going through.

“We are so grateful for the grant because it provides us with valuable funds to be able to get together as a group each week with youth leaders to put together a presentation with up-to-date technology that will reach middle

Pankratz turns tragedy into Kids Matter Steve Kidd

Last week, a Skaha Middle School student got a big surprise when, in the midst of a school assembly, he was announced as the winner of the Enactus Okanagan College Summer Challenge for his business venture, Kids Matter.

Kids Matter runs family events throughout the Okanagan and uses the proceeds and donations to send underprivileged children to summer camps.

At the awards event Oakley Pankratz received $200 to help run his business and send more children to camp.

It was a series of events that led 12-year-old Pankratz to create his business, starting with the tragic death of a friend he had made at summer camp.

Pankratz has taken that tragedy and turned it around, creating a business with the goal of running events to make money, not for profit, but to help send kids to camp.

It was the summer of 2012, and Pankratz was attending the Pines Bible Camp when a sudden windstorm tore through the area. Thousands of trees were blown down, wrecking the camp and, in one case, crushing a cabin and taking the life of 11-year-old Richard Fehr.

“I didn’t know him before, but I had made friends with him,” said Pankratz. “That was really sad. I got in contact with his mom and she said that Richard loved to go camping, to go to Two Pines and to go camping with her at Christina Lake.”

Fehr’s mother told Pankratz that because camping was her son’s favourite activity, she wanted to help other kids with disabilities and financial problems to go to camp.

“I thought about that and decided I could do something about that,” said Fehr. That was just the first key for Pankratz, who had been introduced to the Enactus Okanagan College Young Entrepreneur program, a Dragons’ Den style competition aimed at helping youth develop business skills.

“I thought that would be cool and I thought with my background, my personality I would do pretty good in there,” said Pankratz. The final inspiration came from a friend visiting Pankratz’ parents, who chatted about block parties.

“I thought wow, those are really good, maybe I could do something like that for my business,” he said. “I thought events and I thought sending kids to camp.”

The result was Kids Matter, a business that runs family and community events and uses those funds to send kids to summer camp that normally couldn’t.

“He was very involved, very energetic and he was very passionate about what he does, said Dillon

Oakley Pankratz won the enactus Summer Challenge for his business, kids Matter. Pankratz, 12, started kids Matter after the tragic death of a friend he made at summer camp.

Brown, the Enactus student who mentored Pankratz through the Young Entrepreneur Competition.

The business concept ended up as one of the winners in the competition for the middle school category, and Pankratz put the plan into action, starting with a spaghetti luncheon at his church.

“We also met the co-owner of Burger 55, Chris Boehm, and told him about my business and he was really cool,” said Pankratz. Boehm decided to lend a hand, and put on an event for Kids Matter.

“It was a really big full on event, with pony rides and balloons and a dunk tank. And then there is people along the way who have made donations,” said Pankratz. “Over the summer we have raised close to $1,000 to send kids to camp.”

Pankratz isn’t stopping there, according to Brown, who continues to mentor the middle school entrepreneur; Pankratz is already planning his next moves.

“I am looking at creating a website and over the winter I am going to keep perfecting my business model, getting more of those events like the one at Burger 55,” said Pankratz.

“I’ve got quite some ideas running in my head.”

Ensemble strings fun together for kids Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

Inspiring youth to engage and connect with communities and make a difference through music is what the North Shore Celtic Ensemble sets out to do with each performance.

The group of 14 to 17 year olds are performing at the Children’s Showcase this Sunday at the Cleland Theatre at the Penticton Community Centre.

“We don’t just want to do a show this Sunday, we want to engage the kids in the audience.

Kids speaking with kids is a great combination, there is definitely a magical aspect to it.” said Claude Giguère, co-founder of the ensemble. “Some of the feedback we get from families have been that their kids see our kids play and now they want to do it because it becomes something tangible for them now they have seen it.”

The ensemble will explain the music they are performing, why they are passionate about the instruments they play and flex their skills for them.

“The violin, for instance, is associated very much with classical music but it can also play rock and the kids will show tidbits of that. We have a recorder player who loves Lord Of The Rings and she has a potpourri

of music she will perform from that,” said Giguère.

Founded in 1999, The North Shore Celtic Ensemble is a whole new kind of music experience.

With foundations in Celtic music, their repertoire now reflects a wide range of musical influences including jazz, classical, folk and contemporary.

“We started to add things we really liked or the kids would bring them to rehearsal so we have soundtracks to movies to things like the Beatles to Cajun music. The kids also write their own music in workshops we host throughout the year and we put those tunes into our sets too,” said Giguère. “This combi-

nation of things is all part of the fun of being in the ensemble.”

The North Shore group will have about 20 fiddles on stage with a flute, keyboardist, guitar and percussion instruments.

Some of the musicians also dance, rising the energy of the performance just a bit more.

“On Sunday we are playing with the Penticton group Fiddlekidz so eight of them with Liz Lupton will come on stage. We have traded music and we are excited to get them on stage with us. It should be fun,” said Giguère.

The North Shore Celtic Ensemble performed at the Aberdeen International Youth Festival in the summer, which invites

groups under 30 years of age from all over the world to play.

The ensemble travelled to small communities playing and collaborating with other musicians.

Performance though is just one aspect of the group. Giguère said the vision is to connect and make a difference with their music. One way they do this is by associating themselves with charities from the North Shore area, performing free concerts in small groups for organizations such as the hospice.

“Performing is just the tip of the ice berg for these young musicians. We want to encourage kids to be part of a social endeavour so they see the incredibly positive impact that the music they do has in their community. I think this is where it takes on a lot more meaning,” said Giguère.

The North Shore Celtic Ensemble performance is at 2 p.m. with doors opening at 1:30 p.m.

Tickets are $30 for the series of four shows ( including The Real Cooligans on Jan. 12, Peter and The Wolf on Feb. 9, and Robin Hood on April 27), or $12 for individual shows at the door.

Tickets available from the Tumbleweed Gallery in Penticton, the Penticton & Wine Country Visitor Centre and the Beanery Coffee Co. in Summerland.

Spotlight shines on Stuchbery with Youth Symphony of the Okanagan Kristi Patton

Offering qualified patients comprehensive advice & the finest medicinal Cannabis products

Western News Staff

Jonathan Stuchbery still feels the need to just rock out on his electric guitar, but it is his true passion that is putting him in the spotlight for this weekend with the Youth Symphony of the Okanagan.

“It’s fun to do because you can play really loud, where my classical guitar doesn’t have those deep decibels,” said Stuchbery, a Grade 12 student in Penticton, and the featured soloist with the YSO’s opening concert on Saturday at the Cleland Theatre. “Electric guitar and rock ‘n’ roll music is where I got my start, but then I started looking into classical guitar and the more I learned about it, the more I fell in love with it.

After a month of lessons, I really dedicated myself to it because I had this great connection with it.”

Stuchbery, in his second season with the YSO, will be playing the guitar concerto Rodrigo’s Fantasia para un gentilhombre as the featured soloist. He applied last year and was chosen by the directors. It has been a nine month process of practicing and perfecting the concerto.

“I had this dream to play a guitar concerto a number of years ago and ordered two different concerto’s. Ultimately I ended up choosing this one because every time I listened it grew more and more on me. Baroque guitarists have this beauty in the folk sound way that exploits the guitar’s qualities.

This song has the guitar fighting back with the orchestra then they play together. The happy and long slow movements are so emotional and this piece took me on a journey from majestic exposure to the happy dancing at the end. I just naturally wanted to play this,” he said.

Stuchbery said his time with the YSO has been a fantastic experience, he regularly plays the french horn with the orchestra, and it has allowed him to grow his repertoire. He has plans next year to attend university and continue learning his craft on the guitar.

Stuchbery also has been working on composing his own music and has help with mentor Iman Raminsh, who founded the YSO. The Youth Symphony Orchestra of the Okanagan musicians are tipping their bows (and other instruments) to Raminsh at up-

coming concerts as the orchestra celebrates its 25th anniversary.

Raminsh, now 70, has mentored and taught many young Okanagan musicians as founder and past leader of the YSO. With the YSO’s baton now passed on to the Okanagan Symphony’s Rosemary Thomson and Dennis Colpits, the orchestra continues to flourish under Raminsh’s vision as will be seen and heard when the first concert takes place Saturday at the Cleland Community Theatre.

The second concert is a celebratory event with the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, where the YSO will perform a piece written specifically for them by Raminsh on Nov. 16 in Penticton at 7:30 p.m. at the Cleland. Guest artist will be Colleen Venables on the violin and the YSO. Raminsh, who just returned from Vancouver where he saw his new work based on a Stó Lō Nation legend premiered by vocal ensemble Musica Intima, says he is happy with the direction the YSO has taken since it moved two years ago under the OSO’s umbrella as part of their outreach and education program.

“During the history of the YSO we approached the OSO for a closer association, which I felt would have a mutual benefit,” said Raminsh. “Rosemary had an

interest in youth and Dennis was already sharing duties with me, so I knew I had left the YSO in very capable waters and I’ve kept out of muddying those waters.”

In the 23 years of leading the YSO, Raminsh admits there were some rocky patches, where the future of the orchestra was uncertain, but there’s been mostly successes.

“We’re happy to have added some relevance to the musical community and for the youth,” he said. “We may not have been the ultimate interpreter of Beethoven’s symphonies, but we have always strived for the highest level and have provided opportunities to young people to study the orchestral literature and solo material as well as compose their own music. That idea was an obvious one to me to provide kids with the opportunity on how a symphony orchestra functions.”

But first the YSO takes centre stage at its fall concert, Saturday in Penticton at 7:30 p.m.

The young musicians will perform Mussorgsky’s Polonaise, Borodin’s In the Steppes of Central Asia, Rodrigo’s Fantasia para un gentilhombre, Fucik’s Entrance of the Gladiators, Vaughan Williams’ English Folk Song Suite, Bernstein’s Westside Story and Williams’ Raiders of the Lost Ark.

innocent man’s life.

This is the next movie showing in the Penticton Art Gallery’s Kitchen Stove Film Series.

Lucas (Mads Mikkelsen/NBC’s Hannibal, A Royal Affair, Casino Royale), a former school teacher who has been forced to start over after having overcome a tough divorce and the loss of his job. Just as things are starting to go his way, his life is shattered.

An untruthful remark throws the small community into a collective hysteria. The lie about Lucas sexually assaulting a child is spreading and he is forced to fight a lonely fight for his life and dignity.

Director/screenwriter Thomas Vinterberg delivers a powerful drama that was filmed on location in Denmark. Vinterberg (Oscar nominated Last Round) recalls in 1999 a renowned Danish child psychologist spoke about children and their fantasies.

The psychologist talked about concepts such as repressed memory and his theory that thought is a virus.

“Ten years later I needed a psychologist. I called him, and as a belated form of politeness, I read the documents.

And was shocked. Spellbound. And I felt that here was a story that needed to be told. A story of a modern day

witch hunt. The Hunt is the result of this reading,” said Vinterberg in a press release.

The script was co-written with Tobias Lindholm and was screened at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival and competed in the 2012 Cannes Film Festival where Mikkelsen won the Best Actor Award for his role as Lucas. It was the first Danish-language film in the main Cannes competition since 1998. The Hunt was also selected as the Danish entry for

the Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th Academy Awards. It also recently won the Nordic Council film prize.

The Hunt is set in a small Danish village around Christmas where after struggling to maintain a relationship with his son, Lucas finds a silver lining when he meets co-worker Nadja (Alexandra Rapaport) who eventually moves in as his girlfriend.

This is ruined when the daughter of Lucas’s best friend wrongly accuses Lucas of assault.

All of the adults in the community believe her story and dismiss any of her contrary comments as denial. Lucas is shunned by the majority of the community, causing strain in many of his relationships. This is compounded when the nursery staff members that asked leading questions to the young girl end up with multiple children coming forward because of the nursery staff’s actions.

The movie asks difficult questions and keeps audiences wondering

Vitamin C and Lysine Powder Help Prevent Heart Attacks W. Gifford-Jones, MD

W

hy is heart attack the number one killer in this country?

Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack.

Years later Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Noble Prize winner, is ignored for reporting that large amounts of vitamin C and lysine are needed to prevent coronary attacks. Twenty-five years ago Pauling reported that animals make vitamin C and humans do not. That’s why sailors died of scurvy during long sea voyages, but the ship’s cat survived.

Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks.

Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Pauling claimed it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack.

Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proved that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries.

So what has happened to these monumental findings? Bush, like Semmelweiss, has been ridiculed by cardiologists. One has to ask whether cardiologists, by ignoring his results, are condemning thousands of people to an early coronary heart attack.

Fourteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal, for several reasons.

I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking

Lipitor. I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications. I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable.

Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent.

But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus is available at health food stores.

The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day.

If high doses cause diarrhea, the dose should be decreased.

This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. This is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors.

Most of today’s, cardiologists are impervious to persuasion. They continue to believe that cholesterol-lowering drugs are the be-all-andend-all to prevent heart attack. They’ve been brain-washed by millions of dollars worth of promotion by pharmaceutical companies. It reminds me of the saying that cautions “It’s not what you don’t know what gets you into trouble, it’s the things you know for sure that ain’t so!”

It’s time for cardiologists to have an open mind and stop ignoring this research. As for me – I bet my life on it!

Things have changed a lot since Gary Leaman first walked through the doors of Cherry Lane Shopping Centre more than two decades ago.

“I came here for one year, possibly two, said Leaman, who retired today as general manager of the Penticton mall, 26 years later. “At that point there was a Woodward’s, a Woodward’s food floor and 33 stores.”

Cherry Lane has grown a lot since that time; only one tenant, People’s Jewellers, is still in the same spot and size as when Leaman started. Two others are still with the shopping centre, but one has changed locations and another has expanded their store.

“We did a major renovation in 1990. We did a major expansion in 1995, when we added Save-on Foods and doubled the number stores. And in 1996 we renovated what was the Food Floor and added the food court.

And then in 2005 we added London Drugs and the medical clinic,” said Leaman.

It’s unusual, he said, for a general manager to stay in one space so long.

“As far as we know, I am the longest serving mall manager in the country. People usually move up the food chain or burn out,” said Leaman, who though retiring, will be remaining in Penticton. “My focus is on my family.”

The community, he said, is what kept him here, with access to amenities like the lake in the summer and skiing at Apex in the winter.

“You get to go home for lunch if you want to. Where else can you do that?”

Leaman’s replacement will be a

familiar face, however. Judy Richards, currently the marketing director for Cherry Lane, takes over as general manager.

She has an extensive 22-year history in shopping centre management including Coquitlam Centre, Richmond Centre and Central City (formerly Surrey Place) mall.

“My husband and I wanted to live in Penticton. I was hired to work on properties in Kelowna,” said Richards, who soon began looking for a position closer to home. “I moved to Penticton to be in Penticton and support this community.”

Knowing the industry, Richards got in touch with Leaman, and let him know she wanted to work locally.

“We built a relationship, and then there was this opportunity,” she said.

“I was extremely happy to come here and it’s been a wonderful year, working with Gary.”

Leaman said it was a treat to have someone else in the building who knew the industry.

“Everyone else I pretty much had to train, so this was a breath of fresh air to work with someone who knew as much or more as I did about the industry,” he said. “It has been real easy succession planning, because after getting the marketing up and the promotion ramped up … she’s got all that well in hand to turn over to someone else.”

The search is already underway, Richards said, to hire a new marketing director.

“We have to do that. We are in a very busy season right now. Christmas is very important to our retailers,” she said, explaining that it was a priority to fill the marketing position.

Vees D-man makes Canada West roster Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

PENTICTON VEES netminder Logan Olsen gets his stick on this shot by Castlegar Rebels forward Lynden Hanvold during first period action in the final of the Atom Development Tournament at Memorial Arena last weekend. The Vees overcame a 4-0 first-period deficit to win the game 6-5.

Mark Brett/Western News

Atom Vees persevere Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

The Penticton Game Time Sports atom development Vees showed great resiliency on Oct. 27 as they erased a 4-0 deficit to take the tournament championship 6-5.

“It was an exhilarating win,” said coach Todd Whyte.

Midway through the second period, coach Whyte told his players they just needed one goal, but watched as the Rebels put their fourth goal on the board. That’s when the Vees did the unexpected.

“Under normal circumstances, you would expect the team to fold, but our team is anything but normal,” he said. “We held the score at 4-0 for half of the second period, then we started to score and we didn’t stop scoring until we had put six past the goalie.”

The winning goal came off the stick of Liam Whyte.

“All of the games that we played in the tourney were very close,” he said.

The Vees opened the tournament with a 1-0 win against Summerland, then cruised past Chilliwack 7-3. They met Castlegar in their third game and lost 5-3. The Vees wanted a rematch with Castlegar as they knew the Rebels were beatable. The rematch was set after the Vees defeated Salmon Arm 6-4 in the semifinal round.

“Castlegar was the toughest team that we played, they have

some hulking players that were able to control the play,” said Whyte. “Thankfully our team-first attitude prevailed.”

Heading into the tournament, Whyte said no expectations were in place. Whyte and his coaches just wanted the players to compete and have fun.

“I rarely talk about winning with the players, our focus is to develop as a team and as people,” said Whyte, adding that the championship game stood as the greatest victory he’s experienced as a coach. “The one thing that impressed me most was the perseverance of the players. We had some players breaking down on the bench during the time that we trailed, but we showed great heart and tenacity to stick with the game plan and eventually take over the game.”

Whyte said he always gives his players items to focus on.

Last weekend it was for the players to follow their dreams, and starting the road to the Olympics right now.

“I must say that the kids bought in, they got back up after being kicked around for a while, coming back from 4-0 is no small feat. Doing it in a championship game is huge. Doing it against a team that you lost to earlier in the tournament is gigantic.”

The Penticton Tier 1 Vees played the Kelowna junior Chiefs in the semifinal and lost 4-2. The Chiefs lost in the final to the North Shore Winter Club by the same score.

NOW IS THE

TIME TO SWITCH!

One of three Penticton Vees defencemen made the Canada West team headed to the World Junior A Challenge.

Paul Stoykewych, who won a silver medal last year in the WJAC, is returning to Yarmouth, N.S. where the tournament begins Nov. 4. Alexandre Coulombe and Brett Beauvais were returned to the Vees.

“We are very excited as an organization for Paul, as this is an opportunity for him to compete against some of the best players in the world,” said Vees coach-GM Fred Harbinson in a team statement. “We wish Paul and the Canada West team luck in the upcoming tournament.”

Stoykewych is the 19th Vee to suit up for Team Canada West. Team Canada West’s first game is Nov. 4 when they face Switzerland. The Canada West team is represented by 11 players from the Alberta Junior Hockey League, 10 from the BCHL and one from the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. Penticton’s Adam Plant, who plays for the West Kelowna Warriors, also made the team.

As for Coulombe and Beauvais, Harbinson said from everything he was told, they were outstanding during the camp. “I’m pretty shocked that neither of them were kept, especially with Beauvais, leading the BCHL in scoring for defenceman,” said Harbinson. “He went there and produced points. He’s far from a defensive liability. I’m going off just NHL scouts, college scouts that were there and obviously box scores.”

Second-place for Mustangs Western News Staff

The Princess Margaret Secondary School Mustangs girls field hockey team finished second in the AA Okanagan Valley championship on Oct. 28.

The Mustangs earned a berth in the championship game, hosted by South Okanagan Secondary School Hornets (Oliver) after they defeated the Okanagan Mission Huskies 1-0. Kaycee McKinnon netted the winner, while Alaysha Funk earned her third consecutive shutout. However, they lost to the Hornets 4-0.

Brenda Kelly, who helped assistant coach Mark Hartmann while coach Christy Bevington was away, said the players were excited by their result. In placing second, the Mustangs were given the chance to qualify for provincials by playing two games in Kelowna on Oct. 29. The Mustangs faced the L.V. Rogers Bombers from Nelson and lost 2-0. They then defeated a school from the Fraser Valley 2-1.

“Both games were really good hockey,” said Kelly. “It was played on turf which makes it much faster. Our team finished second in the valley which is a very honourable end to a positive season.”

Coach impressed with young skaters Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

JORDANA MCEACHERN of the Glengarry Skating Club enjoyed a personal best skate during the Autumn Leaves event in Chilliwack on Oct. 18.

Submitted photo

Sports editors note: Throughout the season, Hunter Miska and Olivier Mantha will write a column for the Penticton Western News giving readers insight to their lives either on the ice or away from the rink.

Moving away from home at such a young age was a difficult transition for me. I left home at 16 to follow my dream.

I knew I had to do it if I wanted success in my career.

The first few weeks

Glengarry Skating Club members spun to solid results in the Autumn Leaves Super Series on Oct. 18.

Judges for the event, held in Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre, rewarded strong performances

by Nadia Snyman and Sabrina Fortunato with podium finishes. Fortunato, a Star 4 category skater, took silver.

“She skated really, really well,” said head coach Trevor Buttenham. “She had one fall. She went down on the last axel, otherwise she skated a clean skate. It was her first time competing this program.”

Buttenham said they are bumping Sabrina up to Star 5, which is big. The reason is because she has consistently landed her double Sal Chow in practice.

“We want to get her up into that next level,” he said. “After you finish well, you want to move up, you want to challenge yourself. She’s one of those kids who is always looking for the next steps.”

Snyman, competing in the Star 5 category, enjoyed a personal best performance that helped her finish third.

“I was really proud of her,” said Buttenham.

Snyman performed toe and Sal double jumps with a slight under rotation, which cost her some points. However, Buttenham isn’t concerned.

The two have six weeks before their next event, the Okanagan Interclub competition in Winfield Nov. 29 to Dec. 1, to get the routine right.

“If we can clean up those two jumps, and get them fully rotated, I think we can look

for another bump in points,” he said of Snyman’s routine.

Buttenham said all After you the skaters performed with several finish well, you well skaters earning perwant to move sonal bests, includng Jordana McEachern, up, you want to Snyman and Meagan Pankratz, who finchallenge ished fourth among 17 yourself. skaters in the senior bronze. Buttenham — Trevor Buttenham said Pankrantz’s result was awesome.

Under the Star 2 category, Samantha MacNally (silver assessment), Joycey Cheng (bronze sssessment) and Kaylee Fortunato (bronze assessment) made their competition debuts. Buttenham said the girls showed great composure and was impressed at how they handled themselves.

“Our girls are holding their own,” he said.

“That is something they should be really pleased with.”

In Star 4, Patricia Fortunato finished fourth, while Angelina Veltri performed her new program for the first time.

In other news, to celebrate Glengarry Skating Club’s 60th birthday, there will be a skate in December and the club is asking all alumni to join. In addition, adults are welcome to continue the tradition for drop-in skating at McLaren Thursday evenings from 7:15 to 8 p.m. Please contact the Glengarry Skating Club for more information at 250-486-0244.

Adapting to living on my own Behind the Mask with Hunter Miska

were the hardest because it was my first time being away and it was hard not having my family and friends by my side.

I had to overcome that and know I wasn’t going to be away forever. I would look at it and say if this is what I want to do and keep following my

dream, I have to get used to it and learn how to be on my own.

I stay in close contact with all my family and friends by talking on the phone or texting. I also use Skype, which is what I would say is the best type of communication because I can not

only hear the person, but I can also see them, which made me feel like I was actually talking to them in person.

This is my third year away from home and it has been easier and easier every year to leave because I’m used to it.

It’s still tough leaving, but

I know I will be able to see everyone throughout the season and then I go home for the summer.

I feel like that when I left home early, I got a head start in life compared to the average person my age, because I am getting a taste on what life is going to be like when

I’m on my own. I’m not always going to have my parents by my side to help with everything. I learned to do things on my own and take care of myself.

When I do get the chance to go home, it feels like paradise.

Being able to sleep in my own bed and

The Pen High Lakers senior boys volleyball team finished tied for seventh during a tournament hosted by Thompson Rivers University.

While playing in the tournament, Lakers coach Paul Mend wanted to reinforce his players’ belief that they can take anyone in the province.

“I think they recognize that they are on the verge of taking down some of the top teams,” said Mend.

The Lakers coach was pleased with the performance of his players as they won their pool and first crossover match in the playoffs. The Lakers came up against the No.1 ranked Kelowna Owls and lost. The Lakers had Kyle Hooper, 5-foot-7, fill in for 6-foot-5 Tanner Johnson who was too ill to play.

“Our pool was not super strong but we played well,” said Mend, who started his Grade 11 players every match on the weekend.

Cross-country team running to provincials Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

The Pen High Lakers cross country team is sending 11 athletes to Aldergrove for the provincial championship.

The Lakers ran for strong finishes during the Okanagan Valley Championship on Oct. 22. Held at Stake Lake Nordic Center an hour north of Merritt, the Lakers received standout performances from Cael Warner, who finished third in the boys division and Luke Grandbois, who finished ninth. The boys team came fourth overall. Bjorn Borren, Josh Holland and Sam Clarke also put in strong performances, said Lakers coach Geoff Waterman.

On the girls side, the Lakers placed second in the team category qualifying for provincials. They were led by Meg Cumming, who placed ninth and Emily Clarke, 14th.

Waterman said Lyndell Campbell, Solana Purdy, Hanna Lalonde, Abigail Bownes and Emily Mackay rounded out a great team performance. Representing the school at provincials on Nov. 2 will be Lalonde, Mia Smythe, Purdy, Clarke, Mackay, Cumming, Campbell, Grandbois, Warner, Holland and Sam Clarke.

“The athletes are very excited about provincials and the team. It’s such a cohesive team and they are all rooting for each other,” said Waterman.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

…they can be rugged on a work site and luxurious for all occupants.

Visit the RAM trucks photo gallery at drivewayBC.ca

A big part of the RAM brand success has been built on the sturdy and macho exterior styling.

ZACK SPENCER

Rounding up and riding the RAM range 2014 RAM Roundup The full-size truck market is big business for automakers and a big deal for the businesses and people who depend on them.

For almost five decades the Ford F-150 has been the best selling truck, with little chance they will lose that crown in the near future. What has been happening, over the last few years, is a strong shift from General Motors to RAM in terms of establishing the second best selling truck brand. The rise in RAM popularity can be traced back to a few key changes over the last several years, from muscular styling to class-leading interiors, a refined ride, plus engine and transmission advancements.

I drove the 2014 RAM model range recently, on a beautiful fall day, just outside of Toronto. The “RAM Roundup” was a great opportunity to get my hands on these new trucks well before they arrive at BC dealerships.

Looks A big part of the RAM brand success has been built on the sturdy and macho exterior styling. Front and centre is a grille that was enlarged, but better integrated, for the 2013 model year. Depending on the trim the grille finish can be chrome, painted or with a different insert. This feature is one RAM owners love so, in this case, larger

is better. Behind the grille are “active shutters” that close at higher speeds to help send the wind around the vehicle to improve aerodynamic efficiency. The same idea was also behind the longer side step, which helps reduce buffeting down the side of the trucks.

One option that I find fascinating, and would seriously consider, is the $1500 air suspension that can be lowered for easier entry into the RAM or loading into the bed. Plus this system automatically lowers over 100km/h to also reduce aerodynamic drag. At lower speeds and for off-road duties, the air suspension can be raised for better ground clearance. Having had a chance to drive several RAM trucks with this feature I notice the already smooth ride is even better and the cabin is further insulated from vibration.

Inside In the past trucks were typically used for work. Today, trucks have grown in popularity because they can be rugged on a work site and luxurious for all occupants. Having driven the Ford and new GM trucks recently, I can easily say that RAM still has the lead in interior design and finish with the Chevrolet and GMC right behind. (Ford is looking dated but look for an all-new F-150 in 2015). The centre console can be equipped with an 8.3-inch Uconnect communications and entertainment screen. In addition, there is a large

7-inch screen behind the steering wheel for fully customizable instant information readouts. The dash and seats can be trimmed in leather typically found in luxury cars not long ago.

for gasoline truck buyers but RAM hopes this 429 lb.-ft. engine will attract more buyers.

Verdict As competitive as the car business is, the truck side is Drive The biggest It takes dynamite nuclear. Truck buyers take their trucks very change for 2014 includes to get a loyal truck seriously and the people the first diesel engine building them do too. It found in a light duty 1500 owner to change takes dynamite to get pickup truck. This is an Ital- brands but RAM a loyal truck owner to ian designed engine that has done a good change brands but RAM has been used extensively has done a good job of in Europe in Jeep products job of blasting the blasting the competition. like the Grand Cherokee. competition.

With a new diesel engine in towing capacity. Rated at 9200 lbs. this the 1500 to an all-new gasoline engine truck will be perfect for buyers who in the heavy-duty trucks, matched to want impressive fuel economy and sophisticated transmissions, improved good towing capacity; a balance of suspensions and cabins, it is no wonder usability and thriftiness.

On the $4,500 heavy duty side there is also an all-new engine in the form of a 6.4L Hemi V8. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The old 5.7L was not a perfect match

In fact, Corolla could be a substitute for the word ‘durable’ in the dictionary.

Bob McHugh

’’

More than 30 million Corollas had already been produced when an all-new a 10th-generation 2009 Toyota Corolla hit the streets with a new body and chassis, increased interior space, more power and a revised suspension system.

It isn’t about what a Corolla does, it’s about what a Corolla doesn’t do – stop working. In fact, Corolla could be a substitute for the word ‘durable’ in the dictionary.

While the competition has certainly made great strides to improve product quality, Corolla is still the benchmark and consumer confidence in this compact car is reflected in used prices. Ironically, from a usedcar buyer’s perspective, it may also be its biggest drawback ... good luck with finding a good used Toyota Corolla at a bargain price.

The 2009 Corolla came in CE, S, LE and XRS trim levels.

The highline Corolla LE (originally $21,495) added power windows and locks, climate control air-conditioning, a four-speed automatic transmission, a woodgrain interior trim package, a push-button keyless start system and more.

Most Corolla models come with a 1.8-litre (132-horsepower) engine and the base versions came with a smooth-shifting, fivespeed manual with a light, easy-to-operate clutch.

A four-speed automatic was the optional transmission and fuel economy is excellent, with a 7.5/5.6 L/100 km city/highway rating.

The sporty Corolla XRS (originally $21,925) offered a bigger engine, better brakes and tires plus other stuff.

Powered by a 2.4-litre (158-horsepower) engine it came with 17-inch tires on alloy wheels, electronic stability control, traction control, rear disc brakes and a strut tower brace.

It was also the only version with a five-speed automatic option.

On the inside, this Corolla is roomier than the previous generation, with more shoulder room, legroom and trunk storage space.

A tilt/telescoping steering column was standard on all trim levels and it came with two glove boxes, as seemingly past owners had complained about a lack of cabin storage space.

Almost all Corolla models come with the same safety features, which includes six airbags and the front seats come with active head restraints. An anti-lock brake system is also standard, but only the XRS trim has electronic stability control and traction control.

Stability control was included as standard on S and LE trim levels and optional on CE, in 2010. In 2011, stability control was made a standard feature on all Corolla trim levels.

It also got a minor styling revamp, which included new headlights, grille, front and rear bumpers, taillights and trunk lid. No significant changes in 2012, other than some re-packaging of options offered.

The Toyota Corolla has a loyal consumer following who appreciate the finer virtue of this car – outstanding product quality. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

ICBC driving tips for November CAMERON BIFFERT Licensed Technician

QUALITY • PROFESSIONAL AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE

Visit: drivewayBC.ca

November 1: As we set our clocks back an hour this Saturday night for the end of Daylight Savings Time, please take extra care as the time change can affect the quality of our driving – poorer concentration, alertness behind the wheel and slower reaction time.

November 8: Heavy rain can seriously reduce visibility and make road surfaces more difficult to stop on. Please make sure your wipers are in good condition and increase your following distance to at least four seconds.

November 15: Challenging fall and winter conditions can already be found in many parts of B.C. Please adjust your driving for the conditions you encounter. In poor weather, slow down, increase your following distance and

give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination.

November 22: Ice and snow can hit unexpectedly at this time of the year.

This is a good time to make sure your tires are rated for the conditions you may be driving in and check your tire pressure regularly – pressure drops in cold weather and overinflated tires can reduce gripping.

November 29: As road conditions become more challenging by the week, it becomes even more important to be attentive behind the wheel.

If you need to make a call or send a text or email, pull over to the roadside, or use those highway rest stops to take a break. It can also help you avoid feeling fatigued.
