City extends line of credit to race society Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

There are still questions about the exact level of loss incurred by the Challenge Penticton triathlon in its inaugural year, but Mayor Garry Litke admitted Friday the city has stepped in with financial aid.

On Wednesday, the Western News revealed the Penticton Triathlon Race Society is dealing with a serious financial shortfall, which Litke confirmed, explaining that the City of Penticton had co-signed on a line of credit for up to $200,000 to cover the losses.

Litke said the largest portion of the debt was due to a mandate from the Challenge Family parent organization, which insisted that any athletes who withdrew from the race have their $675 registration fee refunded.

“That will never happen again. That was one time only and it was $135,000, a huge hit,” said Litke. “The athletes themselves were astounded by that. That came from the Challenge Family as a condition so this board had to swallow that. Not happily, that’s for sure.”

That put the race society in a financial hole, along with

other costs incurred setting up the race. According to Litke, there were a number of “one-time purchases” for items like barricades and fencing.

“There are bills coming in and there is not enough registrations coming in to pay the bills,” said Litke. “That’s not unusual, and because there are cash flow problems and the society needs to have some money to operate … they came to the city and the city has offered a line of credit of up to $200,000.”

The race society’s fiscal year end was Oct. 31 and Litke said the financials are still undergoing the audit mandated under the B.C. Societies Act. “The city is responsible for backstopping any financial shortfalls that are experienced by the board,” said Litke. “This is not new, we did this with the SS Sicamous a few years ago, when they got into some financial difficulty. We had to backstop them with a line of credit for $50,000. We did that and that just got paid off last week.

“It doesn’t mean they will use it all, but it does mean it gets paid back to the bank.”

But the city knew going in, Litke said, that switching brands and abandoning Ironman in favour of the Challenge Family triathlon was going to be a period of transition.

“We knew that Ironman would not be happy and would probably try to exert some competitive corporate muscle and they did, by staging their race on the same weekend in Whistler,” he said. “But there were some surprises. One of them was they didn’t leave any paperwork behind, no files.

“We had no records from previous races, from 30 years of history in Penticton.”

Still, Litke said, the volunteers at the Challenge Penticton Society managed to pull everything together to set up the race in nine months.

“The numbers, of course, were down. We knew they were going to be down but everybody that participated thought it was a great race,” he said. But the post race review showed there were areas that needed to be improved.

“So the next month was spent in making those improvements and that included some personnel changes,” said Litke, referring to the race society’s decision to remove Barb Haynes as general manager and not renewing the contract of race director Lisa Carelton.

Next year’s Challenge Penticton is scheduled for Aug. 24, while the Ironman Canada race in Whistler goes July 27, instead of matching the Challenge weekend, as they did in 2013.

Challenge, electrical rates and expansion mark 2013 registries in the region were advised not to process any traffic ticket disputes involving Goyal, according to a document posted in courthouses.

“Furthermore, any new ticket disputes that come into your office for this member please do not process them and cancel the ticket as he will not be available to attend court,” the note read.

Attempts to contact Goyal for comment were unsuccessful.

Editor’s note: This is the first of two issues in which the Western News looks back at the news and events from 2013, including arts and entertainment beginning on page 9 and sports beginning on page 19. Photos from 2013 can be found on pages 8 and 13.

Hospital expansion “notionally” approved

Challenging year for Penticton’s new triathlon

Local athlete Jeff Symonds in August won the first ever Challenge Penticton triathlon, which saw lower registration than in previous Ironman-branded events.

About 1,350 athletes registered for the race, roughly half the total in other years.

Since the event concluded, however, organizers have said little about Challenge Penticton’s finances or numbers for next year.

In October, the society that operates the race cut ties with its general manager and manager of race operations and replaced them in November.

Then in December, the Western News revealed the race lost $200,000 in 2013 and sought a new line of credit backed up by the City of Penticton.

“They’re not cutting us a cheque or anything,” said Paulette Rennie, president of the Penticton Triathlon Race Society.

“They’re not handing us over any money at all. All they’re doing is backing us. If things went sideways, they would be responsible.”

Mayor Garry Litke said the city expected the race would take up to five years to become profitable.

“History has shown that the (Challenge) race in Roth, (Germany), has grown way beyond what the Ironman format could accommodate, so we are expecting that same level of success here in Penticton, but we know it is not going to happen in the first or second or third year,” he said.

FortisBC customers shocked by new rate

A new rate structure for people who buy electricity from FortisBC sparked considerable debate.

Officials check the scene of an accident involving a 28-foot cabin cruiser Wednesday morning at the kiwanis Walking Pier on Okanagan lake in Penticton. according to Penticton RcMP the accident happened about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday when the boat hit the dock, crashed through the railing, coming to rest on the other side. several young people were sitting on pier close to where the vessel hit, but were not injured. Neither of the two people on the boat were seriously hurt.

Mark Brett/Western News

The two-tiered conservation rate was implemented in July 2012, but its effects weren’t felt until the winter months in early 2013, when people who heat their homes with electricity noticed huge increases on their power bills.

Local politicians called on the provincial government and the B.C. Utilities Commission to address the situation and a report on the rate’s impact was ordered.

“The results show that customers with electric heat and without access to natural gas have higher than average annual consumption which leads to a higher than average impact due to the implementation,” the report concluded.

It noted, however, that “the group that is negatively affected is far smaller than is reflected by the publicity garnered by the rate.”

Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer, who led opposition to the new rate, said the report showed the B.C. government needs to act.

“The report didn’t bring anything new that we didn’t already know, that people who rely on electric heat only and the ones who

don’t have the means to hook up to gas are the worst off,” he said.

The BCUC said in November it would review the report in the “near term,” before deciding if a rework of the rate is necessary.

Mounties tight-lipped about suspended Osoyoos officer

RCMP remain tight-lipped about an Osoyoos constable who is suspended with pay.

A former Osoyoos resident, Steve Condon, alleged he was set up to take the fall for two vehicles stolen last year that were owned, or on loan, to Amit Goyal, the suspended officer.

Condon, who complained of police harassment, said he was forced to flee Osoyoos and was later interviewed by other Mounties, whom he directed to take a closer look at Goyal.

RCMP confirmed Goyal was suspended in July with pay, but would not say why.

“If there was a criminal charge, we would pro-actively release that information,” said RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Rob Vermeulen.

The Western News also learned that court

The proposed expansion at Penticton Regional Hospital generated lots of headlines and became an issue during the provincial election, but it’s still only “notionally” funded.

Following a noisy campaign by local doctors, Premier Christy Clark toured the 60-year-old hospital in February and promised to “kick down those barriers” that had stalled development of a business case for the proposed ambulatory care tower.

She returned in March to confirm her government had $2 million available for the business case and ordered it proceed immediately.

Interior Health got to work on the document, but Health Minister Terry Lake set tongues wagging in August when he told a CBC Radio interviewer the new tower wouldn’t be built in the next four years.

Janice Perrino, chair of the Okanagan Similkameen Regional Hospital District, quickly downplayed the minister’s remarks.

“What he’s saying is technically very true. It’s going to take five years just to get the building built, so it won’t be done during this term because it can’t physically be done,” Perrino said.

The business case, the cost of which has risen from $500,000 to $700,000, is well underway and expected to be complete in early 2014. It will likely be submitted after the B.C. government budget is complete, but Perrino is hopeful there will be cash available for PRH. The four-storey tower is projected to cost $300-million and provide 37,000 square metres for outpatient services like an oncology department and surgical suites. The B.C. government has been asked to cover $160 million of the cost.

Duncan Keith brings Stanley Cup home for a visit @pentictonsports

2013 from p. 3 Duncan Keith’s face got quite a workout in early September as he smiled his way through hundreds of

photos with fans in Penticton.

“It’s not hurting — I can’t feel it,” he said with a laugh after hosting a community event at Gyro Park, where

L U X U RY C O N D O L I V I N G • Innovative Floor Plans • Gourmet Kitchens • Exquisite Finishings PURCHASE A UNIT THIS DECEMBER AND RECEIVE A SECOND PARKING STALL FOR

he put the Stanley Cup on display and spent nearly an hour posing for pictures with the public.

The 30-year-old Chicago Blackhawks defenceman won his second cup three months earlier and shared part of his day with the trophy with the community, just as he did in 2010.

Keith moved to the Okanagan with his family as a teenager and played two seasons with the Penticton Minor Hockey Association, then three seasons of junior A hockey with the Penticton Panthers.

“I think it’s important to give back.

Obviously there’s a lot of people who helped me along the way in this town, in this city, and it’s nice for the young kids to get a chance to see (the cup) and talk to them a little bit,” Keith said.

Pimp dad, johns sentenced

A man accused of pimping his teenage daughter was handed a 9.5year jail sentence, while four men accused of procuring the girl’s services received lesser sentences and fines. “‘He destroyed my soul, my selfesteem and most of my dreams,” the girl said in her victim impact statement.

The man, who cannot be named due to a publication ban to protect the girl’s identity was convicted in April following a trial.

The girl, then 18, testified she started being sexually abused when she was just 12 years old while she lived with her stepfather and mother in Osoyoos, and this carried on when they moved to Okanagan Falls and later Penticton.

She testified it was while they were living in Surrey, over a period of six months in 2011, that her stepfather forced her into prostitution.

That activity continued at the bus stop at the Soupateria when the family moved back to the city.

High school officials realized something was afoot with the girl and her family, and eventually an undercover RCMP operation led to the arrest of the man in July 2011.

The father has also had his named added to the national sex offender registry. Four johns received penalties ranging from a $500 fine to seven months in jail.

RDOS fails safety audit

Outdated safety management systems at volunteer fire departments and lack of an organization-wide safety program cost the regional district $10,000 this year.

The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen received $31,137 in rebates on its WorkSafeBC premiums over the previous three years, but lost the incentive when it scored 55 per cent on an external safety audit this spring.

The audit assessed nine areas, such as accident investigations, safety committees and worker training.

“We are a safe organization. Just because we had some infractions, or we’ve got some challenges in front of us… doesn’t mean we’re not safe,” said RDOS internal safety auditor Dale Kronebusch.

The RDOS initially refused to release the full audit report and instructed media to file freedom of information requests to obtain a copy.

RDOS board chairman Mark Pendergraft acknowledged some staff and directors were upset by news articles stating the organization failed what was a voluntary audit.

“I guess it’s not totally inaccurate to say the RDOS failed the safety report, but it by no means portrays the regional district isn’t a safe place to work. It’s just that we haven’t met that extra standard is all,” he said.

Former mountie Keith Wiens was convicted in July of the second-degree murder of his common-law wife Lynn Kalmring. Wiens has appealed his conviction and sentence.

WestJet does a fly-by on Penticton 2013 from p. 4 Even after organizing a community flash mob at the airport and having the former mayor travel to Calgary to personally ask WestJet to begin flying to Penticton, the city was left off the list of stops serviced by the airline’s new regional carrier.

“I’m disappointed we didn’t make the first round but I know their new airplane deliveries are being staggered,” then-mayor Dan Ashton said in February.

“It appears WestJet has decided to open up Encore’s new routes to the west first before the east.

That provides a good opportunity in the near future for Penticton as new airplanes arrive into their system.”

WestJet Encore president Ferio Pugliese confirmed the opportunity hadn’t passed.

“The communities that are not part of today’s announcement continue to be under consideration as we take delivery of additional aircraft later this year and in

the years to come.”

Fort St. John and Nanaimo were the first cities to receive service from WestJet Encore. Terrace and Brandon were added later.

City officials have long sought a direct connection to Calgary and have also asked Air Canada to add it. That company, however, reduced service this fall when it eliminated its mid-day flight to Vancouver.

Retired police officer convicted of murder

It took a jury just six hours to convict retired Mountie Keith Wiens of second-degree murder for the death of his common-law wife Lynn Kalmring in their Penticton home.

Wiens, who worked at the Summerland RCMP detachment prior to his retirement in 2001, shot his wife in the head after an argument in the bedroom of their condo in the gated community Sandbridge.

He testified at trial that she was angry and came at him with

a knife, so he shot her in selfdefence. A pathologist testified, however, that the knife was likely placed in her hand after she was dead, which the Crown suggested gave the appearance that she’d been shot in self-defence.

Other evidence presented to the jury showed the couple had been arguing over money in the months leading up to the incident.

A judge later set Wiens’ period of parole ineligibility at 13 years.

“It’s been two years (awaiting an outcome) and now I hope my sister gets to rest in peace. It’s been horrible,” said Shelly Pertelson, Kalmring’s sister.

In September, Wiens filed for an appeal of his conviction and sentence.

In a handwritten submission to the B.C. Court of Appeal, he said his “unblemished past” was not properly put to the court at sentencing, and the evidence of a blood spatter expert was not given enough weight by the jury.

His appeal hasn’t yet been heard.

opinion

Giving, not just for Christmas There’s been much ado about Industry Minister James Moore’s miserly comments of it’s not the government’s job to ensure hungry children are fed. But, is it fair?

It’s no secret to the have-nots — like Tiny Tims and Bob Cratchets or as we’re increasingly known, the 99 per cent—that this isn’t the type of government that gets fussed by a paltry matters such as child poverty.

If you need evidence, Christmas is the easiest time to get a firsthand story about families who thought things were going along ticketyboo, until hit after hit to their bottom line sent them to the food bank or the Sally Ann for the holidays.

Local news organizations have lined their pages with their stories in an effort to get all who have a little more to ante up. But those stories contrasted against Moore’s stupid comment —apology disregarded—has made us realize that we all could do better.

The 2013 State of the Child Report, organized by Community Action Toward Children’s Heath and The report indicated the overall child poverty rate in B.C. is 17.1 per cent; 34.2 per cent of single-parent households have income levels that fall below the low income measure in the Kelowna metropolitan area.

The report determined the 2013 living wage for the Central Okanagan is $18.01 per hour, to deal with: average housing costs of $1,264.96 per month, average food costs of $832.82 per month, average child care costs of $1,133.39 per month and average monthly transportation costs of $492.46 for families. That’s far too PENTICTON WESTERN many people who are dealing with untenable circumstances, and their stories should weigh on us more often than just during the holidays, or when one of the feds open their mouth to spew Scrooge-like comments. Now excuse me, I’m going to check on my neighbours.

Nelson Mandela: Peace At Last The Catholic church consecrates saints with less pomp and sentimentality than was lavished on Nelson Mandela during the week-long media orgy that we have just been through.

We haven’t seen such a ridiculous spectacle since ... oh, since the 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy three weeks ago.

But at least the Kennedy orgy was over a lot faster — and nobody compared him to Gandhi or Christ.

The problem was that everybody in the media knew well in advance that Mandela was dying, and had time to invest millions in preparing to “cover” the event.

Hotel rooms and telecom facilities were booked, crews and anchors were deployed, and the expense had to be justified by roundthe-clock, wall-to-wall coverage of funeral orations, vox pop interviews and talking heads.

And of course all the world’s politicians showed up for the

greatest photo-op of the decade, including many who had condemned Mandela as a terrorist before he pulled off a peaceful transition from apartheid to majority rule in South Africa.

But now that the babble of rhetoric has died down and just before the myth takes over completely, let us talk honestly about who he was and what he accomplished.

Mandela understood that South Africans needed an icon, not a mere mortal man, as the founding hero of their new democracy, but he had a strong sense of irony.

It would have got plenty of exercise as he watched the local politicos and the foreign dignitaries strew metaphorical flowers on his grave.

The man whom they buried at Qunu on Sunday was arrested by the white minority regime in 1963, probably on a tip from the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.

He was the head of the African National Congress’s military wing, Umkhonto we

Gwynne Dyer

Dyer Straits Sizwe (MK), at the time, and continued to back its campaign of sabotage, bombing and attacks on military and police targets throughout his 27 years in prison.

If the South African Communist Party is to be believed, he was a member of its central committee at the time of his arrest.

It was a different time, when U.S. President Ronald Reagan could declare that the apartheid regime was “essential to the Free World,” and the ANC’s main international supporters were the Soviet Union and Cuba.

Mandela might have ended up as a man of violence if he had not gone to prison.

Instead, in prison, he had the time to develop his ideas about reconciliation and persuade the other ANC leaders who were also confined to Robben Island of their value.

By the time he came out of prison in 1990, he had become the man that everybody knew they could trust – including the whites.

During the next four years, when he and F.W. De Klerk, the last white president, negotiated the transfer of power from the white minority to the black majority, he really was the indispensable man.

His commitment to reconciliation was so visible and genuine that whites were willing to do what had once seemed inconceivable: to hand over power before they absolutely had to.

If you want to know what South Africa would have looked like if the whites had clung to power down to the last ditch, look at Syria today.

But it was not only Mandela who saved the country from that fate: they gave the

Nobel Peace Prize to both Mandela and De Klerk, because the miracle could not have happened if De Klerk had not had the will and the skill to lead his own Afrikaner tribe out of power.

Then, after the first free election in 1994, Mandela became the president, and frankly he wasn’t very good at it.

He had no executive experience, nor much aptitude for it.

But he did his country one last big favour: he retired at the end of his first term rather than clinging to power.

He was already 81 years old at that time, but lesser men (Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, for instance) have not let that stop them. And he even had a few good years left to enjoy his family before age began to drag him down.

He was not a saint; he was just a man. But he was the right man at the right time.

Anti-Fortis campaign moves into 2014

It is close to Christmas and near the end of 2013, so at this time I would like to sincerely thank the Penticton Western News and of course their readers for allowing me to express my opinions whenever there is something that is bothering me, or if I believe that there is something amiss that needs to be addressed.

It is an honour and a privilege to live in a community and a country where opinions can count without reprisal from government or any others that might think that they are omnipotent.

Since the beginning of 2013 I have campaigned against Fortis, the BCUC and our politicians to right the wrongs of oppressive and hurtful electrical rates and proposed changes to the rate structure, and have been more than pleased with the support of the people.

It is too early to tell if our campaign has been successful, but at least we have let Fortis and the others know that we will not be taken advantage of without a fight. They know that we are out there and next election they will be looking over their shoulders, and just might consider those that have elected them, and fear those that have felt the insult of a rapacious monopoly.

I hope 2014 will bring about changes that will benefit the citizens of B.C. From the bottom of my heart I once again thank you, Donald E Thorsteinson Oliver

Reform bill undemocratic

Prime Minister Stephen Harper will tell Dan Albas how to vote on the reform Bill C-559, just like he tells Albas, Ron Cannan and all federal Conservative MPs how to vote on any bill.

Mainstream political parties have arbitrarily allowed their leaders to use party discipline to control the votes in all of our legislatures.

Bill C-559 will not change that. Party discipline has destroyed any semblance of democracy in our federal and provincial legislative assemblies.

Albas is also ignoring the fact we are being ruled by a federal statute, commonly referred to as The Constitution Act of Canada, adopted in 1982 by the federal Liberal government.

While we were supposed to have become a free and democratic society, the late and former Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau made sure that all we achieved was a form of self-government.

The statute insists we must have democratic elections, however, it does not state that we must have democratic governments.

Albas may ask, “What exactly is Bill C-559?”

It is called the Reform Act of 2013 and was introduced by MP Michael Chong (Wellington-Halton Hills). In reality it is a cry from the people to dump the colonial-style governments that is destroying our

country.

Mr. Albas, does Bill C-559 increase democracy?

The people are not looking for an increase in the democratic process.

They want to end colonial rule and have honest and transparent governments like other democratic societies; governments that are controlled by the people, not the party leaders.

Over the years Canadian men and women have distinguished themselves by fighting for freedom and democracy around the world.

On the home front the people we elected in good faith to protect our rights have arbitrarily allowed our political leaders to destroy any semblance of democracy, and turn Canada into a virtual dictatorship.

What a contrast, and what a legacy.

No pity for demise of pot petition

Well boo-hoo, the not-so-sensible weed and seed pot heads fell short of their quota for the legalization of marijuana. Too bad, so sad.

Can you imagine the chaos the judicial system would encounter if pot was legalized? The feds would have to give back the shipping containers of weed they had confiscated and the lawyers would have to give back the fees they charged their clients to defend them for possession.

The bottom line is it would take all the fun and paranoia out of sneaking a hit without consequence.

READY TO QUIT SMOKING? WE’RE HERE TO HELP! Did you know that about 48,000 Canadians die annually from tobacco use - mainly from lung cancer, heart disease, and lung disease? On average, a smoker will live 8 years less than a non-smoker. Want to avoid becoming a statistic? There’s no time like to present to quit!

Before you try to quit you should develop an action plan to help you think more carefully about what you need to do and how you will do it. Make a list of the important benefits of quitting and read it over before, during and after you quit. List fun and healthy activities to replace smoking (eg. going for a walk with a friend) and be ready to do these when you feel the urge to smoke.

Most importantly, list the situations (when and where) in which you smoke and the reasons why you smoke - this will help you identify what “triggers” you to light up. Try to avoid or remove these triggers.

The above recommendations, though helpful, will not always be enough to help you successfully quit. A lot of people benefit from using smoking cessation medication as well. There are 3 types of medications available and proven to help you stop smoking. These include nicotine replacement (patch and gum), bupropion (Zyban) and varenicline (Champix).

The latter 2 require a physician’s prescription whereas the nicotine replacement does not. In fact, British Columbia is currently running a program that provides free nicotine replacement products to residents.

Want more information on how to access this program or more tips on smoking cessation? We have a pharmacist available 7 days a week to provide you with the answers you need.

Good luck!

Peach Festival brings strong lineup of entertainment Returning bigger and better than ever, the five-day Penticton Peach Festival saw large crowds enjoy a strong lineup of music, entertainment and cultural aspects in August.

It is estimated 75,000 people rocked to the sounds of headliner performers, gasped in awe at the RCAF Snowbirds aerial show and enjoyed everything else the festival offered.

“I thought it was a great week, the numbers Honeymoon suite frontman Johnnie Dee (right) and Derry Grehan had the crowd at okanagan lake Park rocking as the headliners for Penticton Peach Festival in august.

Okanagan International Children’s Festival Thousands and kids and families were disappointed when the International Children’s Festival decided to take a hiatus this year, but they vowed to return.

The festival, which ran in Penticton for 10 years, was struck hard with the loss of key players that help pull off the event every year then again when their title sponsor left.

That left the board of directors encouraging anyone who has ever been involved with the festival as a fundraiser, performer, volunteer or audience member to donate.

were great, people were telling me the parade crowds were the biggest they’d ever seen,” said president Don Kendall, who heads the 16-member board that organizes the free festival of festivals each year.

The high profile lineup at the 2013 festival included Honeymoon Suite, One More Girl, The Steadies, Killarney and 40 other bands, dancers and entertainers.

“Honeymoon Suite just packed the park and put on an incredible show and there’s no place else you can see that kind of entertainment for free and again that’s thanks to our sponsors, in particular Peters Bros. Construction. They are the ones

who allow us to do that.”

Staples like the sandcastle competition, slopitch tournament, aboriginal village, square dancing, crowing of Miss Penticton Royalty and the addition of new events like the Peachpit Pentown Throwdown skateboard and BMX competition contributed to the event’s success.

“We are committed to keeping it a free festival so everyone can afford to go. No matter who you are, you can afford to have a good time at Peach Festival,” said festival president Don Kendall.

Organizers began preparing for the 2014 event immediately after they wrapped in August and have already been booking entertainment.

Donations rolled in from organizations and residentsIn December, festival chair Jason Cox was happy to announce it would return with the always popular Fred Penner headlining.

“We know we are coming back with a better, stronger and more sustainable festival,” said Cox. Barb Haynes has taken over the position as executive director and brings with her a wealth of community event experience. She said the first item on her things to do list is to find a new title sponsor.

The festival will take place May 22 to 24 and will also feature headliners Monster Theatre, Ache Brasil, Kaput, Swing, Circus West and more to appeal to a varied audience.

Tickets and show schedules will be available to schools and groups beginning Jan. 20.

Boonstock announces move to Penticton A mixed reaction came from the public and area officials when organizers of the music, arts and cultural festival Boonstock announced they were re-locating to Penticton.

Promoter Colin Kobza told the Penticton Western News he was bringing a scaled back version of the three-day event that was pushed out of Sturgeon County in Alberta for bad behaviour by some of its 65,000 concert-goers, some alleged negligence by the organizers and a mess of traffic that caused congestion on a major highway.

Kobza said he had the backing of the city and Penticton Indian Band where the event is scheduled to be held. Contrary to that, Penticton Mayor Garry Litke said he did not have the support of council and PIB Chief Jona-

than Kruger said Kobza was “premature” with his announcement. While Boonstock is leasing the land from a locatee (private) landowner on the PIB they still need to adhere to rules such as having a security plan. At the time of the announcement Penticton RCMP said they would not have extra officers on the already busy long weekend to work the event.

Since then, another summer music festival in Kelowna (Centre of Gravity) that would run concurrent with Boonstock is changing their dates, which potentially could open the door for RCMP officers to be available for the Penticton concert. After the PIB held a community meeting for its members Kruger said there is still lots of work to be done. Barb Haynes, former general manager of Challenge Penticton, is now under contract by Boonstock to handle their communications.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

There are a few coupes still available and one that is worthy of consideration is this new 2014 Honda Accord Coupe V6.

Zack Spencer

Visit the Honda Accord Coupe photo gallery at drivewayBC.ca

Honda’s contemporary on a dying breed 2014 Honda Accord Coupe V6 It’s fascinating to watch trends in the auto industry play out over time.

Some changes happen quickly, with one manufacturer coming out with a feature, then the rest of the industry following suit. Backup cameras would be a good example of this.

Other trends are much slower, changing because of demographic fluctuations.

One example of a slow-moving trend is the two-door coupe falling out of favour and its replacement by sedans and crossovers. This trend is greatly affected by baby boomers getting older and buying more for practical reason, rather than styling.

In the 1980s, and even the beginning of the 90s, there were plenty of coupes to choose from and they sold well. But where are the Honda Prelude, Toyota Celica, Pontiac Sunfire and Ford Probe coupes? Now gone and many not replaced with newer models. I’m thrilled to report that there are a few coupes still available and one that is worthy of consideration is this new 2014 Honda Accord Coupe V6.

Looks The Accord Coupe is based on the all-new Accord sedan that has been selling very well for Honda. In fact, it won the Canadian Car of the Year this year as decided by the Automobile Journalist Association of Canada.

Honda has done a good job of updating this big coupe with a more modern twist. Sold in three configurations from the base EX to the EX-L Navi (L stand for leather and navi is self-explanatory),

which are both 4-cylinder way the radio stores and equipped models. The top retrieves pre-set radio trim is the EX-L Navi with stations. It took a long V6. This top trim level is the time to set the stereo model seen here: it comes up and having to go with LED projector headback and forth between lamps, 18-inch wheels and different screens is not duel chrome exhaust tips.

If you like the idea that intuitive. The rest of The 4-cylinder equipped the dash is large, with big models come with halogen of a smart looking car cup holder and plenty of headlamps and 17-inch storage areas. that is well equipped alloy wheels. The coupe The steering wheel and powerful, you starts at $26,400, a $2,500 buttons and heat controls premium over the regular might want to move on on the dash use first rate an Accord Coupe. sedan but when the switches and they are sedan is equipped with placed with precision.

Zack Spencer alloy wheels, the price is Drive Another trend almost identical. The EX-L that Honda is bucking, with this Accord is $30,100 for the leather and navi and Coupe, is the inclusion of a 6-speed the V6 premium is $35,500. Not an manual transmission and V6 engine. The inexpensive car but most are very well latest movement is to turbo or superequipped. charged 4-cylinder engines to replace V6

‘‘

’’

Inside It’s a big and comfortable coupe. The back seat is actually usable for adults and the front seats are very comfortable. The trunk is huge and the back seat folds for extra long items but the seats do not split and fold, plus the opening to the back seat is small.

Standard feature on all Accord models is a backup camera and heated seats.

Honda, in my opinion, has raised the bar in the mid-sized category and produced the nicest dash I have seen in this class.

There are two screens in the centre console, one for the navigation unit and the other for the radio. They are framed in beautiful, high quality satin metal, chrome and soft touch materials.

One area that could be improved is the

power plants and duel clutch automatic transmission in favour of a manual. I’m glad that Honda still offers this layout; it shows they are serious about being a true enthusiast’s car company. Granted, most buyers will get the very good 6-speed automatic transmission with the 3.5L V6, but with 278hp and 252 lb.ft. of torque it will be a very lively car in either configuration. The manual is a joy to use and it is like a throwback to drive a V6 equipped manual car. The 4-cylinder models have 185hp from a direct injection 2.4L engine and either a manual transmission or continuously variable transmission (CVT) for added fuel savings. The CVT is capable of 7.8L/100km in the city and 5.7L on the highway. The

V6 uses more at 10.0L/100km in the city and 6.1L on the highway.

Verdict When I started reviewing cars back in the early 1990s, cars like this were common: a mid-sized sedan with a V6 engine and a manual transmission.

I can clearly remember driving a Toyota Camry, Nissan Maxima and Accord equipped this way. While most companies are moving away from this design, Honda is sticking with it for now.

Soon Honda will have smaller turbocharged 4-cylinder engines available and this big coupe might too be fitted with something more efficient. If you like the idea of a smart looking car that is well equipped and powerful, you might want to move on an Accord Coupe V6 before it follows the latest trend.

The Lowdown Power: 2.4L 4-cylinder with 185hp or 3.5L V6 with 278hp Fill-up: 7.8L/5.7L/100km (city/highway 4-cylinder) Sticker price: $26,400-$35,500

The 2014 Toyota Tundra is a truck for the Wild West

‘‘

The ride was a perfect combination of on-road comfort and off-road toughness.

’’

Ian Harwood

The 2014 Toyota Tundra has deep roots in the Wild, Wild West.

The 1794 Edition is a tribute to the ranch, founded in the year 1794, on which the Tundra plant is located in San Antonio, Texas. In 2002, Toyota began the search for a U.S. facility to build the second-generation Toyota Tundra. The 2,000-acre ranch site was acquired and ground breaking took place Oct. 17, 2003. Just like the ranch it replaced, hard work and dedication prevailed bringing production numbers up to 200,000 units.

On Sept. 18, 2013, the one-millionth truck, a sunset bronze mica coloured, 1794 Edition Tundra, rolled out. This truck has a completely new body design with an aggressive grille that extends from the bumper to the raised hood.

The fender flares are larger and more defined, and the tailgate has Tundra stamped into the sheet metal.

The top of the line Western themed 1794 Edition comes with a unique chrome grille and chrome and silver bumper. It’s almost like a large belt buckle!

The inside screams country music with its exclusive premium saddle tan brown leather seats with embossed and suede accents.

Soft-touch materials are found on the centre console, the front and rear door trim, and the instrument panel. Rich maple woodgrain covers the steering wheel, dash and shifter.

Big improvement to the back seat of the Double Cab and Crew Max where a 60/40 split bench flips up with a one handed latch to allow more cargo space.

The Tundra is equipped with Toyota’s advanced display audio system with AM/FM Radio, CD, MP3/ WMA capability, USB and auxiliary input, and voice recognition. It also includes standard Bluetooth and an integrated backup camera.

A SR model has a 6.1-inch display, while the SR5, Limited and Platinum models feature a 7-inch display with integrated Sirius XM

Satellite Radio.

Two engines available, depending on the model you choose. The 4.6 L i-force V8 that puts out 310 horsepower and 327 lb ft of torque and the 5.7 L i-force V8 with 32 valve dual overhead cam engine that generates 381 horsepower and 410 lb ft of torque.

Both motors are connected to a 6 speed automatic transmission with sequential shift mode.

Fuel economy numbers are; 5.7 L: 14.2/10.5 L/100 km (city/highway) The truck has exceptional steering response and firm enough not to nose dive in the corners. ian harwood 4.6 L: 11.0/13.6 L/100 km (city/highway) Driver and front passenger airbags, roll-sensing, head/ side curtain and front mounted side airbags, and the first half ton pickup to include driver and front passenger knee airbags.

Toyota’s star safety system includes electronic brake force distribution, smart stop technology, anti-lock brakes, vehicle stability control and active traction control. The side mirrors have the blind spot monitor system that detects a vehicle in your blind spot.

The ride was a perfect combination of on-road comfort and off-road toughness.

The truck has exceptional steering response and firm enough not to nose-dive in the corners.

The seats are spacious and very comfortable; I compare it to a living room couch with seat belts. It has a very quiet cabin, which I found to be true with the previous model, with very little road noise.

I am happy they continued with the larger oversized buttons and knobs, which 2014 IMPREZA 2.0i LIMITED you can operate while PACKAGE (4-DOOR) SHOWN wearing gloves.

The future of cars may be electric but do not expect 2014 to be the dawn of the new age.

In fact, I predict there’s a long road ahead for manufacturers trying to woo the driving public into buying a car with a chord attached.

Throw in the sales numbers for all-electric cars, plug-in hybrids and gas-battery hybrids and they don’t come anywhere near five per cent of total vehicle sales.

The commercial conundrum is that these (more) eco-friendly vehicles come with a premium sticker price beyond most folks and the only way to bring them in range is to sell many more!

Most provincial governments have incentive rebates for those that make a green choice.

While successful to a degree, they alone are not going to turn us all on.

sports 2013: The Year That Was Sports Editor: Emanuel Sequeira • Phone: 492-3636 ext. 224 E-mail: sports@pentictonwesternnews.com

From Challenge and Canucks to the Continental Cup — See the success of sports in Penticton Over the next two issues, the Penticton Western News will reel off the newsmakers of the year.

We kick off with Jeff Symonds winning the debut of Challenge Penticton on Aug. 25.

Bruised and bloodied, Jeff Symonds’ injuries didn’t dampen his celebration of his history-making win at the inaugural Challenge Penticton Canada race.

Fists raised and head thrown back, the young, professional Peach City triathlete shouted in joy as he danced the final 30 metres to the finish line in a time of eight hours, 29 minutes and 57 seconds.

Scott DeFilippis of Normandy Beach, N.J., was a distant second, nearly 15 minutes back.

Symonds, competing in only his second long-distance triathlon, suffered serious scrapes to his hands, arms and legs after crashing his bicycle on a steep hill near Yellow Lake. The 27-year-old later admitted he had concerns about finishing the race but somehow found the will to continue.

“If you lose your concentration, even for a moment, it can be all over, so I was just glad to get up and back on the bike,” he said.

“It just made it that much more painful and that much more tougher, but it also made it that much more rewarding. I’m never going to forget this one, that’s for sure.

“I grew up watching the race but I never dreamed I would be in this position one day.

“I guess it shows that anything is possible.”

The winner also beat some big names in the sport, including four-time Challenge Roth and two-time Ironman world champion Chris McCormack.

McCormack was a second ahead of Symonds in the swim but did not complete the race. Symonds finished the 3.8-kilometre swim in 55 minutes, 37 seconds.

Sunday was also a special day for another hometown favourite, Jen Annett, competing in her first distance triathlon as a professional.

She wound up third (9:58:23) behind Karen Thibodeau (9:41:42) of Canmore, Alta., and winner Lester Carrie of Australia (9:27:26).

“I had to keep telling myself that it wasn’t any different (as a pro) because really at the end of the day it’s not,” said Annett who crossed the finish line with husband Jason and 15-month-old son Nixon. “I still had to race to my capabilities and not anybody else’s race.”

PENTICTON’S JEFFREY SYMONDS is jacked up to cross the finish line as he won the first Challenge Penticton.

North Americans capture Continental Cup

Once Thomas Ulsrud of Norway hit the guard in the sixth end of the second skins game, Canada’s Craig Savill knew Team North America had won the 2013 World Financial Group Continental Cup on Jan. 13.

Immediately after, Savill sprinted off to the North American bench as the team began celebrating.

“We said if we win this thing I’m going straight to the bench and jumping in,” explained Savill, “someone better catch me. I was pretty happy. We got drilled last year so it was nice to get them back this year.”

Heading into the skins game of the Continental Cup, Team North America held a 26.5 to 18.5 advantage, though Team World still had a chance for a comeback with 30 points up for grab. While Team World scored eight skins to North America’s seven in the first game, the home side earned 10.5 skins to the World’s 4.5 for a final score of 37-23.

As Team North America celebrated with Savill in the bench, Glenn Howard performed a gunslinger routine that was replayed on the big screen. Kevin Martin, who was matched up against Scotland’s Eve Muirhead, was laughing at Howard’s theatrics as he prepared to deliver his next rock.

“That was good,” said Martin. “It’s sure good that he got that deuce because it’s never easy closing a team out. That was huge. We AMERICAN HEATH MCCORMICK of Team North America shouts for the play he wants during the World Financial Group were all hoping he would make it and he did.”

Continental Cup, which Team North America won.

2016 B.C. Winter Games coming to Penticton

In February 2016, the province’s best athletes look to shine in Penticton.

It was announced on Jan. 24 that the B.C. Winter Games are returning to the location that kicked off what has become a jumpingoff point for elite athletes since the summer of 1978. Since then, Penticton hosted the winter games in 1990 and the summer games five years later.

Members from Fitkidz Gymnastics Club kicked off the announcement with moves that caught the attention of the crowd in at-

Mark Brett/Western News

tendance at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre. They were joined by members of the Taneda Dojo and Penticton Judo Club who put on presentations to add an athletic element.

Retired Olympian Kristi Richards was on hand for the announcement and competed in the winter games in 1995 in Comox Valley.

“It was absolutely amazing,” said Richards to the crowd. “All of you kids who are aspiring to go to B.C. Games, or to Canada Games or the Olympics, I tell you it’s something so, so magical. When I walked into that gymnasium with all the festivities and the stage

and the dancing, and the singing and everything, the whole opening games celebration was so unbelievably powerful for me as a kid.

That was the spark. That was the thing that lifted me to new heights.

I knew that I wanted to have that feeling again and again.”

Richards, an alumni of the Apex Freestyle Club, said that experience motivated her to eventually want to compete in the Olympics.

She said the B.C. Games are a springboard for a young child.

“To be able to have this here, in Penticton, once again, it’s going to be so great for the whole community,” she continued.

Over 2,100 athletes, coaches and officials will participate in approximately 18 sports, Feb. 25 to 28, 2016, according to a release issued by B.C. Games.

Chuck Loewen, general manager of recreation and facilities for the City of Penticton, said they were contacted by Kelly Mann, president and CEO of the B.C. Games Society to start the process and schedule the games.

“We are receiving inquiries from various sport organizations who are eagerly anticipating and pre-planning their involvement in these games, and they and we at the city, are extremely excited about the prospects of beginning the process and putting on the best B.C. Winter Games in its history in 2016,” said Loewen.

Pinnacles teams in PCSL championships

Penticton’s under-21 Pinnacles ruled the Pacific Coast Soccer League’s Reserve division.

It’s a first in the Penticton Soccer Club’s history that the men’s and women’s teams won the championship in the same year.

Playing side by side at Town Centre West and East in Coquitlam, both clubs could hear the cheers from their respective fields on July 28.

“This year is special,” said Pinnacles Greenscape Landscaping women’s coach Ray Hintz, whose team edged the Mid Isle Highlanders 2-1 to bring home the Bill Gillespie Challenge Cup. “We have been there before. For some, it’s their third championship. This one is special because of all the stuff we had to go through.”

The main challenge was working different players into the lineup the entire year. Frustration was felt by the players and Hintz, who said it was one of his toughest seasons coaching at that level.

“We played with a lot of heart and determination. We had that will to win. The girls really wanted it this year. To prove everybody wrong.”

Along with winning the championship, Pinnacles defender Mila Miller was named tournament MVP. Captain Alana Parker said Miller’s performance was “amazing,” but added she always is.

ATHLETE from p. 19 Men’s team The Tim Horton’s Pinnacles won the Challenge Cup for the first time in their seven seasons. After defeating Chilliwack 4-1, the Pinnacles doubled up Abbotsford MagnusonFord Mariners 4-2. Austin Jones, Mackenzie Rigg, Randy Hubber and Enzo Paul scored. Hubber buried the winner.

“I don’t think words can describe it really,” said Hubber of his winner. “After I scored I didn’t know what to do.”

Hubber, who finished second in league scoring with nine goals and was named Challenge Cup MVP, said they played well.

“We came into the game with the arrogance that we weren’t going to lose and that helped us a lot,” he said.

Pinnacles coach Paulo Araujo said his group played their best football of the year.

“They kept growing stronger as the season went,” said Araujo.

When asked what winning the championship meant, Araujo said it’s a “good feeling for a little town from the Okanagan to go down to the coast and put on a good show.”

“It shows that there is really good footballers here in the Okanagan,” said Araujo.

Escaping tragedy

Andrews, who completed the marathon in 3:36:39, was shaken up and described it as a “terrible situation.”

Adam Osczevski of the West Kelowna Warriors dashed the Penticton Vees’ desire of winning their final home game of 2013.

The Warriors ended the Vees’ eight-game winning streak by defeating them 3-1. Osczevski scored the winner 8:32 into the second period. The Vees opened the scoring on the power play midway through the first period with Brad McClure’s 29th goal of the season. It held up until the 1:32 mark of the second when Carl Hesler, scored the first of his two on the night. The Vees pulled Hunter Miska in favour of Olivier Mantha after making 19 saves.

The victory for the Warriors was their first against the

blocks away from the explosions.

“Just an awful thing and it’s certainly going to change all marathons around the world,” he said.

Asked about his emotions, Andrews said his heart rate went faster when he had heard more explosions could be expected. Andrews said bombs were set under the viewing area.

“Just as the people were about to cross the

finish line, it went off,” he said. “People watching got the full blast of it. Some of the runners as well. A few minutes later another one went off. An awful thing to happen in a great, wonderful event and a fantastic city.

“We were fortunate we all came through the finish line within five minutes of each other,” said Andrews, who has participated in the Boston Marathon three times.

Vees in six tries.

In other Vees news, forward Matt Serratore is joining the Air Force Academy in 2015-16. Vees head coach Fred Harbinson said Serratore’s strengths make him a perfect fit at Air Force.

“Matt’s work ethic and hockey IQ is his strength,” said Harbinson. “He continues to grow as a player and will be a great addition for Air Force in 2015.”

The 19-year-old is in his first season with the Vees and has four goals and 10 points in 36 games as of Dec. 20.

Defenceman Brett Beauvais is catching the attention of scouts with his play. An article published on NHL. com said he’s a player to watch.

“He’s an interesting prospect,” NHL director of Central Scouting Dan Marr told NHL.com. “He’s a good puck moving D-man who likes to lead and join the rush. He’s got good jump with skating to pounce on pucks and quick offensive instincts. He has a strong history of putting up numbers and has the tools with which to further his development while at Bemidji State (next season). He’d be a nice late consideration to put in the bank.”

Committed to Bemidji State University for next fall, he’s fifth in BCHL scoring with nine goals and 47 points in 35 games. Beauvais is listed as a C-rated player on NHL Central Scouting’s December watch list.

A C-rating indicates the player is projected to be chosen in the fourth to sixth round.
