RcMP launch investigation into theft of PMha money

The ciTy’s lease of the stretch of beach along skaha lake known as airport Beach was not renewed by the Penticton indian Band.

Western News file photo

PIB does not renew Airport Beach lease Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Airport Beach has been a public swimming area for so many years that many residents may not be aware that the city doesn’t actually own the land.

But the current lease on the beach area directly south of the airport has expired, and the owners, the Kruger family, have told the city they no longer wish to lease out the land, and have requested the city discontinue maintenance of Airport Beach and its facilities.

“As per past practice, the city offered to renew our maintenance services. The locatee (private owners of Penticton Indian Band land) family has since indicated they would like to maintain the beach themselves,” said Mayor Garry Litke, reading from a prepared statement.

Travis Kruger, spokesperson for the family, said the beach is primarily used as a boat beach, and the family thinks they can put it to better use, and build on the activity already being generated in the section leased by Barefoot Beach.

However, he says there are no plans to close the beach to the public.

“We never want to restrict access to locals because locals are who support the economy,” said Kruger. “It’s not this big scary thing where everything is going to change and we are going to shut it down.”

The Krugers’ decision, said Litke, is in line with ongoing economic development work being done by the PIB. “I think the Kruger family has some plans, some vision for what they want to do with that beach. They wanted to have the autonomy to do what they want to do with that beach. It is their land and they have every right to do so,” said Litke.

“They are taking it on themselves to encourage visitors to the area and the locatee family’s decision is in line with the opportunities on the horizon.”

City manager Annette Antoniak said the city has been leasing the area for about $55,000 a year. However, the lease has been in place for so long that none of the councillors were sure of when it started.

“From the ‘60s, anyway,” said Coun. John Vassilaki.

Kruger said the city had been interested in a longer term lease, but his family wanted to see better use made of the beach.

“It was not something we were interested in going to, because in the last 20-25 years they (the city) haven’t done anything,” said Kruger. “They just leave it and use it as what it is and I just think of the potential of things that could be done there.

Kruger said his vision is to make Airport Beach into one of the best in Canada.

“That is my feeling, that is what I want. I don’t want just another beach. I want a place where people can come and have an experience,” said Kruger.

THEFT from A1 Blaine Peterson, a former PMHA director, asked Lund how the money went missing under the eye of a professional accounting firm and the board.

“Who is accountable to check that on behalf of our membership?” he said.

Lund answered that the embezzlement scheme was quite sophisticated and, “at this point, I’m certainly not in a position to say whether there is or is not liability on the chartered accountants.”

Craig Finer asked if any effort was made to evaluate the assets in Elder’s estate prior to spending $29,000 on the forensic audit.

Lund said a standard check was done, which revealed Elder had no real property registered in her name and no vehicles or usual assets, “the low hanging fruit so to speak.”

“So you have more than an educated opinion that it’s likely that we’re not going to recover anything? It certainly seems what you are suggesting,” Finer said.

“I am urging some restraint in terms of the level of optimism here,” Lund replied. “If a person was going to steal

$300,000, they might not put it into a house registered in her own name and land title.”

Brian Hutcheson then asked about the future.

“I’m concerned about the damage that has been done,” said Hutcheson.

“What is going to be done on behalf of the board to convince people in this town to keep investing in minor hockey?”

Lund suggested donors would get some comfort once results

of the investigation are made “somewhat public,” and the litigation is concluded.

PMHA has also released its unaudited financial statements for the past season, which showed $176,896 in cash on hand, up from $98,098 for the fiscal year ended April 30.

Registration fees were up by nearly $28,743 to $251,057 and tournament revenue increased by $34,936 to $162,232.

Despite vocal opposition city supports new development Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

With more than 70 letters in opposition and a packed gallery for a public hearing Tuesday evening, Penticton city council knew they would be facing another tough development decision.

Once both sides had been heard, council decided by a narrow margin to support the proposed Tim Hortons/gas bar project, voting 4-3 to withhold final approval of rezoning the land until the developer satisfies concerns over traffic and agrees to a clean-up covenant, to prevent another “brownfield site” should the gas station fail.

Along with the Tims (making four in the city), the developers plan to build a convenience store and Federated Co-op gas bar on the northwest corner of Main Street and Warren Avenue, which has been empty for five years, since Lee’s Fusion Kitchen burnt to the ground in June 2009.

The opponents, many from the residential neighbourhood

Spring run-off Local creeks can become dangerous during the spring run-off. Water volumes and velocities increase creating unstable banks and dangerous conditions. Please ensure the safety of yourself and your family and keep a safe distance from the creeks during spring run-off.

Flushing of water mains The Works Division will commence its annual unidirectional water main flushing program within the Municipal area commencing May 12 - June 30, 2014. Advantages of adopting a unidirectional water main flushing program will result in significant system improvements and cost savings such as: • increased water velocity, which promotes better pipeline scouring • improved mineral and biological deposit removal • taste and odour control • reduction of turbidity • elimination of waterline re-fouling • reduced frequency of mainline flushing • reduced water usage • opportunity for infrastructure preventative maintenance (valve and hydrant exercising) • cost savings over traditional flushing.

This may result in the water supply showing sediment and discoloration in various areas. This sediment is bacterially harmless, however, may cause some discoloration to laundry if not detected. To avoid any inconvenience check water color prior to using.

If you do experience dirty water, simply run a cold water tap until water clears up. We thank you for your cooperation and apologize for any inconvenience you experience. For more information contact the City Yards at 250-490-2500.

directly behind the property, brought forward a number of concerns about noise and light pollution from the operation, increased traffic through their neighbourhood and the possibility of benzene fumes and car exhaust from idling vehicles affecting their properties.

“It is going to be virtually impossible for this site to become a future brownfield,” said David Longpre, spokesperson for Vancouver-based developer Windridge Properties.

Clean-up and remediation are already part of their lease agreement with the Co-op, he added.

“It is quite clear in writing, and that lease will be registered on the title,” he said, adding that besides a variety of safety measures, Otter Co-op has its own internal program to deal with cleaning up their sites, if needed.

“Gas stations today are quite a bit different from 15 or 20 years ago,” said Longpre.

But his promises to work to protect the neighbourhood, with noise barriers, lighting control and other measures didn’t sway the audience from their concerns.

Penticton recycling easy under new B.C. Guidelines As of May 19, new provincial guidelines on recycling come into effect.

Good news: How residents recycle their materials is not changing. Blue bags, blue bins and blue carts are all acceptable methods to putting out recycling materials for weekly collection at the curbside. Multifamily residents will continue to use their existing system.

What’s changing: there are new items that you can recycle in your curbside or multifamily collection: • Gable top cartons – milk, egg substitutes, cream, etc.

• Boxes or cartons, known as Tetra Pak or aseptic packaging – soup, broth, milk type beverages, etc.

• Aerosol cans and caps – cans must be empty - paint cans are not accepted • Spiral-wound paper cans and lids – frozen juice, potato chips, etc.

• Paper or plastic cups with lids for hot and cold drinks.

• Plastic garden pots and trays.

Recyclables you should take to the recycle depot include Polystyrene foam packaging (new this year), plastic bags and overwrap, and non-deposit glass bottles and jars.

For full lists of what you can recycle, visit www.penticton.ca/recycling.

The City Garbage and Recycling Calendar delivered to your home in June will also have a full breakdown.

George Smith, a resident of Roy Avenue, said that it was important to be business friendly, but that shouldn’t override the city’s social responsibility to create a healthy atmosphere for residents. Compared to the restaurants that formerly occupied the site, Smith said the drive thru and gas station would bring with it increased traffic, carcinogenic fumes and potential for intrusive traffic and speaker noise.

“These types of businesses are detrimental to the quality of life in a residential neighbourhood and represent the worst case scenario,” said Smith.

Waiting for a better project might cost the city, he said, but it would be a minor cost compared to the possibility of degrading the neighbourhood. Adrian Pay, manager at the adjacent Superwash, was the sole speaker in favour of the project.

“This corner has long been an eyesore on one of Penticton’s busiest corners, said Pay. “This is not a positive image for Penticton.

“This will be a complementary business, not only to our business, but to many other businesses in the area.”

Partiers kill beaver, leave trail of destruction Kathy Michaels Black Press

Cleaning up after campers isn’t a novelty for Okanagan conservation officers, but the trail of carnage left by a group who took to the hills above the valley this past long weekend has them frustrated.

“We always get a little bit more wild behaviour on the long weekends, but May long weekend is usually the worst,” said conservation officer Sgt. Jim Beck.

Up in the forested area that straddles the hills above Peachland and Summerland, that observation was reinforced.

“Through our Report All Poachers and Polluters line, an individual called in and said they heard a ruckus in the Headwaters Lake area and they went in after the dust settled to see what was left behind,” he said.

What they found was a truckload of garbage and creatures protected under the wildlife act, slaughtered.

“There were some songbirds they killed and a beaver was shot and partially skinned,” said Beck, noting that it was clear from the beaver’s corpse that the effort to remove its

pelt was rudimentary at best.

“It’s senseless killing.

“We deal with all kinds of wildlife offences, and from time-to-time we get something like this.”

The majority of outdoor enthusiasts aren’t bent on destruction and have an appreciation of natural resources, he said.

“Groups like these tend to be disrespectful,” he said. “(This group) had guns, but that doesn’t mean they’re hunters. They were discharging firearms all through the night.”

Along with a trail of dead creatures and garbage, there’s evidence of a larger-than-permitted forest fire.

The group also damaged the gate to the District of Summerland’s water supply, which has become a West Kelowna RCMP file.

Basically, when conservation officers finally find the people who made a mess in the forested area, they’ll have plenty of options for penalties.

“We have a couple of leads that we’re hoping will lead us to them,” said Beck, noting that some good samaritans cleaned up the site, and

Penticton’s RCMP boss expects a report due “any day now” will support his plan to reshape the region’s Crime Stoppers program.

Supt. Kevin Hewco on Thursday told the board of the Regional District of OkanaganSimilkameen he asked a specialist from the B.C. RCMP’s headquarters to provide a third-party opinion of his propsal.

“I’m led to believe the report entirely endorses my position on the program, which was that we can assign more duties, but I wanted someone independent so there’s no perception of bias,” he said.

Hewco has proposed combining Crime Stoppers with community policing responsibilities, like recruiting auxiliary officers and volunteers for Citizens on Patrol.

Crime Stoppers coordinator Al Sismey warned previously that doing so would harm the tips program, which he maintains must be kept separate from police.

Sismey’s position is funded by a $65,000 annual contribution from the RDOS.

opinion

Drunks must be reported Here’s something to think about as the summer holiday — and summer holiday driving — season gets underway.

While incidents of drinking and driving are on the decline, thanks in part to the much tougher provincial rules about blood alcohol limits, a recent crash in Aldergrove illustrates that some people simply don’t care.

A 32-year-old Abbotsford man was seen by witnesses exiting his smashed vehicle, grabbing a case of beer and heading to a nearby fast food restaurant — despite having broken bones in his leg.

The man had apparently been driving at a high speed. Witnesses report him passing on the right at a high rate of speed as he was getting off the freeway at 264 Street. Shortly afterwards, he smashed into a minivan driven by a woman and carrying five small children. Thankfully, no one in the van was seriously injured.

The RCMP is now reporting that the man has no valid driver’s licence and the car he was driving was not insured. The case is sounding more and more like another one in Aldergrove that ended in tragedy.

Carly Regan, a 13-year-old girl, was struck and killed by Paul Wettlaufer, a drunk driver who also did not have a licence. He did not come forward but hid his vehicle. It was found, he was arrested and eventually jailed.

While such cases are, thankfully, rare, there are some people who have serious drinking problems and should never be driving. Often, PENTICTON WESTERN they have lost their licences but continue to drive. All the laws in the world won’t stop them.

All that the rest of us can do is be vigilant, report to police anything that looks like a problem situation and drive as cautiously as we can.

India and China: The tortoise and the hare Soon after winning an absolute majority in the Indian parliamentary elections, prime minister-elect Narendra Modi promised “to make the 21st century India’s century.” If he can avoid tripping over his own ideology, he might just succeed.

“India’s century” is a misleading phrase, of course, because no country gets to own a whole century.

It wasn’t ever really going to be “China’s century” either, although China is a huge country whose economy has grown amazingly fast over the past three decades.

What Modi meant was that India, the other huge Asian country, may soon take China’s place as the fastest growing large economy – and it might even surpass China economically, in the end.

At first glance this seems unlikely. India’s GDP is currently less than a quarter of China’s although the two countries are quite close in population (China 1.36 billion, India 1.29 billion).

Moreover, the Chi-

nese economy’s growth rate last year, although well down from its peak years, was still 7.7 percent, while India’s grew at only 4.4 percent.

But China’s growth rate is bound to fall further for purely demographic reasons.

Due partly to three decades of the onechild-per-family policy, the size of its workforce is already starting to decline.

Total population (and hence total domestic demand) will also start to shrink in five years’ time.

And this doesn’t even take into account the high probability of a financial crash and a long, deep recession in China.

India’s growth rate has also fallen in recent years, but for reasons like corruption, excessive regulation and inadequate infrastructure that are a lot easier to fix.

And the reason that Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won by a landslide was precisely that voters thought he would be better at overcoming these obstacles to

coalition allies like previous BJP governments.

This could lead to a leap in the Indian growth rate if he uses his power to sweep aside the regulations and bureaucratic roadblocks that hamper trade and investment in India.

While neither political stability in India nor political chaos in China are guaranteed in the longer run, by 2025 the demography will have taken over with a vengeance.

China’s population will be in decline, and the number of young people entering the workforce annually will be down by 20 per cent wand still falling.

India’s population will still be growing, as will the number of young people coming onto the job market each year.

That will give India a three or four per cent advantage in economic growth regardless of what happens on the political front.

In the long run both countries may come to see their massive populations as a problem, but in the medium term it looks increasingly likely that India will catch up with and even overtake China in economic power.

Typo, spelling sponsorship and allegations

In the last paragraph, (re: MP targets human trafficking, May 14) - it seems spelling was not checked and you left an “i” out of the word public.

Thank you for your sponsorship of 5th Annual Adult Spelling Bee Fundraiser and for the photo of teammate Myrna on the front page.

Regarding the allegations against Sandy Elder, my heart goes out to the family, loved ones and friends of Sandy.

I know that her friend Dave believes the allegations are untrue and I certainly hope they are too, though I never knew her.

Sometimes, I have found, we think we know someone then sometimes are shocked by something unexpected being revealed about them or claimed about them.

Again I hope the allegations against Sandy are untrue even though that would mean some form of conspiracy against her and other guilty parties wrongly casting blame on her. May the truth come to light.

Cast-offs take on new lives

In the past weeks, the communities of Naramata and Queen’s Park Elementary School in Penticton worked together to give back to our local and global community.

First, Naramata hosted their annual community yard sale, collecting clothes and items that had served their purpose in one household but were still useful to others.

Secondly, all of the items that didn’t find a new home in Naramata were added to a growing pile at Queen’s Park Elementary, where The Greatest Community Clothes Swap Ever took place for the third time.

Many families in our community use these events, as well as other second-hand stores, to stock up on clothes for kids and parents alike, whether out of need or a desire to be more globally aware.

Lastly, and new this year, all the clothes still left over will be shipped in a container to multiple orphanages in Eastern Moldova, which is sandwiched between the Ukraine and Romania.

Two local heroes ship used items three to four times a year, and usually visit the orphanages once a year, although the current political unrest is delaying a personal visit this year.

Our cast-offs take on a new life in grateful arms, and hopefully our perspective is changed for the better.

I do not understand why the park designation was removed from the Kinney Avenue property.

Valued at $1.5 million it would have been a valuable addition to the overall parks plan; close to a school and in an area that can expect increased consolidation with high rises.

In my opinion the decision to zone for single-family houses is short-sighted and an attempt to keep everyone happy with an election coming in November.

Why would anyone buy a new singlefamily home in that location when they are likely to be an island in a sea of apartments before the mortgage is paid for?

Why did council balk at spending $1.5 million after holding this land in reserve for 20 years. Where is the vision? Why all of a sudden was this no longer a good idea? Was the November election their prime motivation? Do they operate on whims throwing out long-range plans willy nilly?

Or do they have a plan we do not know about? Last election we were blindsided with a grandiose sure-fire plan for a hockey dorm. It served its purpose pre-election and we are still paying for the fallout.

The failure of Penticton council to renew the urban garden lease; combined with the removal of the park designation on the Kinney property in my opinion only increases speculation on what plans will surface just before the election in the fall.

Could it be a new $30 to $50 million arts centre to serve the needs of a small segment of the community that isn’t satisfied with Cleland; a renovated PenMar; the Shatford; the Cannery; the old Masonic Hall; the SOEC for large events; the Trade Centre and the likely cooperation of David Prystay and his Lakeside hotel for anything else.

Incredible edible language

Pam Warhurst from a small market town in England and her team of Incredible Edibles Todmorden have a vision, to find a unifying language that cuts across age and income and culture to help people find a new way of living, see spaces around them differently, think about the resources they use differently, interact differently? Can we find that language? And then, can we replicate those actions? And the answer would appear to be yes, and the language would appear to be food.

Pam’s vision has now spread around the world, and according to our Incredible Edible Penticton Facebook group we are catching on here too!

For more information on the Incredible Edible movement visit our Facebook group or meet us in person at Penticton Farmers Market every Saturday.

Jim Shaver, a Penticton naturalist with more than 40 years of birding experience, peers through his binoculars monday morning to help tour members identify a bird along White Lake road.

Percy N. hébert/Western News

Birds of a feather flocked from across the province to take part in the annual Meadowlark Festival that featured 80 tours covering topics from astronomy to wildflowers, as well as many bird tours.

The festival, said Sally Kilburg, chair of the Meadowlark Nature Festival, originally established to share the unique natural beauty of the South Okanagan, now draws participants from around the province.

“The beauty of the Okanagan Valley is often heralded more outside of the valley than it is in the valley,” she said.

Indeed, Asher Steed, from the Lower Mainland, made the Meadowlark Nature Festival a family affair, bringing wife Tammy and children Olivia and Elliot along for the trip.

“I’ve always liked birds,” said Steed Monday morning on a birding tour, led by Jim Shaver, in the White Lake area.

“Now we plan some of our family vacations around different spots like the Okanagan where there’s lots of birds.”

For daughter Olivia, joining a birding tour isn’t just about tagging along with mom and dad.

“It’s pretty cool,” said Olivia, who now aspires to become an ornithologist.

“Birds are so colourful.”

For Shaver, birds have been a life-long passion, and a good excuse to get out and explore the different habitats the South Okanagan has to offer.

“It’s always just delightful,” said Shaver of the opportunity to lead a tour.

“It’s always fun.”

Black holes may lead to worm holes GET A

Thanks to science fiction movies and TV series, most of us have heard of black holes and wormholes. The former are things to stay away from, and the latter are viewed as a means to travel rapidly to other parts of the universe, or even to other universes. These days we are pretty sure most galaxies host large black holes in their cores, and although we have yet to identify a wormhole, the science that describes black holes also sug-

gests wormholes should exist.

Isaac Newton gave us a comfortable view of the universe, where space and time are immutable and experienced identically by everybody. Einstein and others showed this is not the case. Each of us has a unique experience of space and time, depending upon our local circumstances and how we are moving. Fortunately under everyday conditions, Newton’s ideas work well enough.

Ken Tapping Stargazing Notes

However, a range of experiments conducted in laboratories, aircraft, satellites and space show Einstein’s picture is more accurate.

Gravity is described as a distortion in space-time produced by mass, just like dropping weights onto a rubber sheet. Two things dictate how deep the depression produced in the rubber sheet will be: the mass of the object and how big it is. A 10-kilogram lead ball makes a deeper, narrower depression than a 10-kg wooden ball. The depth and steepness of the distortion is analogous to gravity.

You will not have noticed this, but clocks run more slowly on the surface of the Earth than they do in space, well away from the Earth’s gravity. For a planet the size and mass of the Earth the effect is tiny. However, if were to compress the Earth down to a very small size, the increased gravitational attraction at its surface would make the effect bigger.

If we crunch the Earth down to less than a millimetre in diameter, the distortion of time becomes total. Time inside would pass infinitely slowly compared with time on the outside. You might be inside, happily climbing the escape ladder, but each second of your time would be the equivalent on the outside to millions or billions of years, or even eternity. Nobody will ever see you emerge. Not even light will be able to escape.

The Earth has become a black hole.

Mother Nature makes black holes two different ways. An explosion in the outer envelope of a large star (a few times the mass of the Sun) can compress the core region to a point where it may form a black hole a few kilometres in diameter. The other way is to keep adding more and more material. If something is located where it can pull in material from its sur-

roundings, it may eventually collect enough to compress itself into a black hole. This is probably why we have huge black holes in the cores of many galaxies, where there is lots of material to gobble up.

We have observed the black hole in the centre of our galaxy gulping down gas, dust, stars, and probably planets.

According to our current understanding, if enough material is swallowed by black holes the compressional force can become irresistible. Nothing can stop it. It implies something can be compressed down to zero size. One suggestion is that the material is squeezed out altogether, re-emerging somewhere else in the universe, making our black hole one end of a wormhole.

Such a wormhole would not be a useful cosmic transporter.

Diving into it would produce the same fatal results as falling into a black hole. As we approach, intense gravitational fields will tear us apart, until we enter as individual atoms.

We would not survive to see what the inside of a black hole looks like, or admire the scenery in some distant part of the universe. We would emerge at the other end as a blast of radiation and particles, no doubt puzzling an alien astronomer or two.

Jupiter sets soon after sunset, leaving Saturn and Mars in the southern sky. Venus lies low in the dawn twilight. The Moon will be new on the 28th.

Making a difference

Angels with WINGS Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

Faced with the challenges of being a single parent, Judy Jefferies knows all too well what a little help means.

It was why, eight years ago, she decided to do what she could to give back to the community the way it did for her.

“I was a single parent when I moved here and I received a lot of help.

This is just my way of giving back because I don’t have the means to do it financially,” said Jefferies, who volunteers at WINGS Thrift Store.

“There is quite a lot of people in need in this city and many don’t realize it because there is a stigma.”

Another volunteer sorting clothing holds up a toddler’s frilly pink and black dress pulled out of a container of clothes that were dropped off at WINGS. Smiles spread like wildfire around the room.

“Just knowing that some little girl is going to be so happy with that, it makes our day. It puts big smiles on our faces too,” said Jefferies, who also volunteers at the Care Closet, Meals on Wheels and the Breakfast Learning Club.

Net proceeds from WINGS (Women in Need Gaining Strength) sales support programs and services for women and children who are at risk or have experienced abuse and violence.

They provide starting over packages to women and children fleeing abuse and are given all they need to set up new households. Gently used items are accepted by the store for sale including clothing, shoes, accessories and housewares.

With limited space, they ask people wanting to donate items to call for details on how to do so at 250-770-9799.

Jefferies said having younger volunteers such as Graham Caughlin, who was helping out on Thursday at WINGS, is a great assistance for those who have been there for years.

“The enthusiasm they bring is great. I admire

what they are doing here and having their help is awesome because sometimes we get a lot of heavier stuff or have to take things up and down stairs and some of us have mobility issues,” said Jefferies.

Caughlin was born and raised in Penticton and said volunteering his time at SOWINS was where he felt it would be most meaningful. Working at Nature’s Fare allows him the freedom to spend a few hours every Thursday at WINGS. Nature’s Fare frees up their employees to do community service during regular work hours while still getting paid.

Caughlin said Nature’s Fare is one of the first small businesses in Canada to earn the Certified B distinction, which requires them to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance.

SOWINS is currently seeking volunteers for all aspects of their organization. At WINGS they are looking for volunteers capable of moving and lifting items. Retail experience is an asset, but

not necessary.

Other positions they are looking to fill in other aspects of the non-profit are assistance with front desk reception which includes answering phones, light computer work, data entry and assistance with seasonal events. The SOWINS information booth at the Downtown Community Market needs people to pitch in as well as help market events throughout the year. This may include selling items and sharing information to the public about programs and services.

SOWINS is also looking for a driver to help take clients to and from appointments and motivated volunteers to assist with their Healing Mondays program.

This includes artists, energy healers, yoga instructors, painting, meditation and more. Some positions at SOWINS require a criminal record review program check through the Ministry of Justice.

Shift times vary for all positions. For more information contact volcoord@sowins.com.

Stakes are high at JCI murder mystery event Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

Penticton is headed to the races to catch a killer.

A murderer will be lurking amongst those during derby day at the Penticton race track.

Among the fancy hats, flowing champagne and roaring crowds something sinister has happened. This makes the stakes high at the JCI murder mystery fundraiser, Murder At The Races on May 31.

“One of the part owners of the race track was killed and everyone in attendance is trying to figure out the motive, find evidence and track down the killer,” said Martyn Lewis, chairman of the JCI Murder at the Races fundraiser. “We have a ton of prizes to give away during games throughout the evening and a grand prize for the person who solves the mystery, but you are going to have to be very smart to figure it out.”

This is the second time JCI has hosted a murder mystery event and they have added a few tweaks to the formula this time around, including mini games throughout the evening for prizes. Lewis said there will

be six main characters played by volunteers, rather than all in attendance taking on a persona, and everyone will receive play money which they can use for the mini-games.

“It is going to definitely be a fun evening. We have expanded what we did last year with more prizes so people will constantly be busy either looking for clues, asking questions of the characters or playing the horse racing games. Sometimes at these type of events people can get confused or feel left out, but our event is going to be constant action,” said Lewis.

Those attending the evening are encouraged to dress up in

costume. Lewis suggested men dress in smart attire, like a suit and top hat, and women can wear a hat to match their outfit.

Prizes will be given out for best costume and best hat.

“I’m not suggesting anyone go out and purchase an extravagant outfit or hat, rather they can be creative and recycle something and make it crazy,” said Lewis.

The evening also includes a barbecue dinner served by Chef Darin Paterson at Bogner’s of Penticton.

All proceeds will go to the South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation and to the JCI Summer Day Camp for Kids. The South Okanagan

Similkameen Medical Foundation depends on donations to raise funds needed for crucial care medical equipment, staff education and other special patient comfort programs.

JCI Summer Day Camp for Kids is operated through the Penticton Community Centre for children aged six to 12 years throughout July and August.

The program aims to both assist working parents who need care for their children and to provide a fun and exciting experience for kids looking to do something different during their summer vacation. Activities include indoor and outdoor games, bike rides, canoeing, swimming arts and crafts, cooking projects and more.

Murder At The Races takes place on May 31 at 6 p.m. at Bogner’s of Penticton. Tickets are $55 and available for purchase from Cowork Penticton or paypal account at Murder At The Races on Facebook, by credit card or call 250-4629396. JCI members will also be at the Downtown Community Market on Saturday selling tickets, or you can find them at the Sport-Soccer booth.

Actress hoping movie will dance to Cannes Festival Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

If all the parts align, a Penticton actress will have two of the films she worked in touring the festival circuit, including the prestigious Cannes.

Having recently wrapped playing a character on the feature film 13 Steps starring Jackie Cruz (from the Netflix series Orange Is The New Black), Destinee Klyne is hoping another project will become one step closer to making the festival circuit by winning the Let’s Make A Movie contest.

Media Factory Inc, based in Vancouver, is offering to promote and encourage creatives and filmmakers by introducing a feature film pitch contest. The winner will be completely financed by the company to create the film and the opportunity to be screened at the Cannes Film Festival.

Klyne has already been cast as the lead character’s best friend in Heart of Dance, for which a 60-second video pitch has been submitted to Let’s Make A Movie.

“There is already talk that 13 Steps will be really big on the film festival circuit. It would be huge to have that film and then Heart of Dance at Cannes. It would be a really big step for me in terms of exposure,” said Klyne.

Valid with purchase of Premium frames and lenses. Valid on purchases April 30 - May 28, 2014.

Some restrictions apply. See in-store for details.

Shriner’s Parade Shrining For Kids

Heart of Dance is about a teen, Kealy Charmichael (Scarlett Bruns), who has always danced in the shadow of her younger sister. When her sister is killed in an accident, Kealy tries to fulfill her sibling’s dream of being a professional dancer. The story also revolves around Kealy’s struggles with self-body image.

“I think this film has a great message and an important message to shed light on. We are all flawed and as a society it is important to know you are who you are and that is beautiful,” said Klyne.

“I have known people with eating disorders and this is an opportunity to give back to help others because we want part of the proceeds to go to the B.C.-based support group Looking

Glass Foundation for Eating Disorders. I think this movie deserves to be made, we just need the support to back it.”

Right now Heart of Dance is among the top films in the running of Let’s Make A Movie during the public voting process. Klyne said online voting runs until July 23 and they need all the support they can get.

After the public voting process closes, the top five films will be reviewed by a panel of industry judges for another round of voting before the winner is decided. Those interested in learning more about Heart of Dance can visit their website at www. heartofdancemovie.com.

Dancers will tap into new floor at Cleland Western News Staff

Dancers in Penticton will be on a solid footing this year.

A new floor at the Cleland Theatre will be installed thanks to a donation from the Penticton Kiwanis Music, Dance and Speech Arts Festival.

In April, the City of Penticton partnered with Penticton Kiwanis Music, Dance and Speech Arts Festival to acquire a new tap-rated dance floor for the Cleland Theatre.

In a spirit of great cooperation, the festival’s board of directors offered a $2,000 gift towards the purchase of a new tap-rated floor for the Cleland, provided the city would cover the $3,000 balance of the cost.

“The new dance floor at the Cleland Theatre is great addition to the arts amenity, and will be enjoyed by dancers for years to come,” said deputy mayor John Vassilaki. “We thank the Kiwanis Music and Dance Festival for their donation and contributing to a quality arts experience in Penticton.”

The new floor is a Rosco Adagio dance floor suitable for all forms of dance including ballet, modern, jazz and tap. It was recently tested at the PKMF Stage Dance competitions and Dance Highlights Concert, and was deemed by all to be a wonderful surface to dance on.

“I am absolutely delighted about the developments regarding the dance floor. It is wonderful that the City of Penticton and the Penticton Kiwanis Music Festival can work together towards a new floor for the Cleland Theatre,” said Lorna Bull, Kiwanis Music, Dance and Speech Arts Festival Society Secretary and Vice-President of the Penticton Provincial Host Committee. “It will be such a benefit for the future. We will be so proud of our theatre and its new, tap-rated floor when our performing artists come to Penticton in June, and all our local dance studios and groups will feel so fortunate now and in the future.”

The timing on the dance floor couldn’t be better as Penticton will host the 2014 Performing Arts BC Provincial Festival from June 3 to 7.

This festival is held in a different B.C. centre every year and the 35 local festivals send adjudicator-recommended representatives to compete at the provincials.

The festival will include competitions, workshops and concerts taking place

in the Penticton Community Centre and the Cleland Theatre, Penticton Lakeside Resort, the Shatford Centre, Leir House, eight churches and three dance studios.

Competitive sessions will all be open to the public.

There will be four concerts presented to highlight festival winners, a true smorgasbord of the best of B.C.’s youthful performers.

Lorna BuLL (left), Kiwanis Music, Dance and Speech arts Festival Society secretary and vice-president of the Penticton Provincial Host Committee, and Chuck Loewen, general manager of recreation and facilities for the City of Penticton, celebrate a partnership to acquire a new dance floor for the Cleland.

Novak’s short stories good for a laugh

MANAGING CANKER SORES Canker sores are small sores that appear on the inside of the mouth, especially the cheeks, inside of the lips and the tongue. Upon inspection they appear as round white spots with red borders. They cause a lot of pain that lasts between 4 and 10 days and they generally disappear within 14 days. Canker sores are very common with 20% of Canadians having a canker sore at any given time.

Despite how common they are it is unknown exactly what causes canker sores. Small injuries in the mouth from things such as biting your cheek or poor fitting dentures may lead to canker sores. They may also be brought on by stress.

Other possible causes include lack of vitamin B12, folic acid or iron.

The good news is that canker sores disappear over time and no further health risks are associated with them. Because of this treatment

#114 - 300 RIVERSIDE DRIVE 250-493-5533 www.riversidepharmasave.com

mostly focuses on managing pain and, for people with recurrent sores, preventing future outbreaks. People with canker sores can rinse their mouth with a warm salt water solution several times a day to soothe the area. Avoidance of hot and spicy foods as well as foods with sharp edges (eg. crackers or chips) will further reduce discomfort. OTC pain relievers such as Anbesol and Orajel numb the sore while Orabase forms a protective coating over the area.

If you tend to get a lot of recurrent canker sores you should see your physician and make sure that you are not deficient in vitamin B12, folic acid or iron. Removing any sources of irritation in the mouth (eg. poor fitting dentures) may be beneficial as well. Need more tips on managing mouth sores or other conditions?

Heather Allen Armchair Book Club

The creative mind behind the American TV show The Office has written an equally humorous book.

BJ Novak’s One More Thing: Stories and Other Stories is a brand new collection of short stories crammed with creative and quirky humour.

The title, which at first seems strange and hard to remember, suits the collection perfectly.

This book is stuffed with more than 50 stories about everything under the sun. It begins with a retelling of the Tortoise and the Hare. In this version, after the race, the hare retreats into a substantial period of depression and self doubt. The smug and sanctimonious tortoise goes on speaking tours and does charitable work with his Slow and Steady Foundation until there is a rematch.

In the next story, a paranoid planetarium visitor attacks the tour

guide for not knowing about dark matter.

The next short is about a young boy who promises to visit his grandma when he gets to heaven, but once dead finds that grandma’s heavenly schedule is too busy for family.

In another tale, the stock market is down. It couldn’t explain why it was depressed. Thoughts of Warren Buffet cheered it for a bit but “there were all those people who said they hated the market, and they always seemed so much cooler and better looking than the people who liked the market.”

No wonder The Office ran for so many seasons. Novak appears to be someone who never runs out of new and funny things to say. I imagine him with balls of crumpled paper all around him each filled with good ideas, while he scribbles still more onto the papers on his desk.

I bet even as Novak was finishing this book he kept saying to his editor, “Just one more thing.” And, if the quality of his stories is any indication, the editor would have tried to fit them into the book.

Novak developed this collection alongside a series of public readings in places such as the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Los Angeles and Shakespeare and Company bookstore in Paris.

When the live audience found something funny, it found its way

into the book.

Novak includes discussion questions at the end of the collection, but of course, they aren’t of the Oprah variety. He asks questions such as: “Did you flip through the book and read the shortest stories first?” (And he answers: The author does that too).

He asks: “Do you think ‘why not?’ is a better question than ‘why?’ (If so, why or why not?)”

Beyond the corny jokes, the book is really a series of intelligent observations. If you loved The Office, you’ll find plenty to laugh at here.

PMHA gets fresh faces Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Amid the dark cloud of the Penticton Minor Hockey Association missing $315,650 it’s board ended up with fresh faces following elections.

Paul DeShane expressed why he wanted to continue on as the PMHA’s vice-president to the 110 parents and guests attending the annual general meeting at the Days Inn Conference Centre Wednesday night, but found himself replaced by Val Fulton. Fulton climbs the ladder after being a director, who had one year remaining on her term. She also is the midget hockey director.

Before being voted in as vice-president, Fulton told the crowd she wants what’s best for the association.

“There are people out there that would like to see change,” she said.

The changes to the board of directors included the additions of Barb Main and Chad DeLeeuw joining current directors Stacey Gagno, Rod Kenney and Ted Van Troyen. Frank Darin, a board member of 20 years, chose to bow out prior to the voting and Johnny Aantjes lost in the elections. One spot remains for a director.

“I think there are some good names there with good passion,” said Darin after stepping down.

Jo Ann DeShane did not stay on as secretary and is replaced

by Carla Burns.

Minor Hockey parent Scott Rogers said he didn’t see any real drastic changes to the board.

With Fulton replacing DeShane as vice-president, Rogers said it’s a “positive in the sense that everybody here was passionate about minor hockey.”

“I wouldn’t say it’s a knee jerk reaction to the change,” he said.

“Everybody that was here was probably equally passionate about

the direction that we had to go. Val in this case, she clearly stated her case that she was prepared to work hard. That’s all we can ask for.”

Brian Hutcheson, another concerned parent, was positive about the changes.

“I think it’s not bad to get new blood in there a little bit because there are a lot of people that have questions about what has transpired,” said Hutcheson. “This way it gives a fresh look. People can get some answers. Aesthetically it probably looks good too for the people that are on the board.”

When asked if he was happy with the response with respect to the missing money that the PMHA alleges was taken by the late Sandy Elder, Hutcheson said no.

“I don’t think there were a lot of answers given,” he said. “I understand the reasons that they can’t say a lot. I came here expecting very few answers. I just think it’s disappointing that it took this long to figure it out. That’s the biggest thing as a parent in hockey.”

Hutcheson heard rumblings about it in the fall, but figured the number was smaller.

“The amount of money that was gone is huge. That is scary,” he added. “I think that’s why it’s good to have some new people on the board. Maybe a fresh face to look at what’s happened. I’m not blaming anybody on the board. I’m not accusing anybody.”

Prior to the elections, the association also presented awards.

Fulton was given the Chester Kascak Award, while Kenney was named the rep coach of the year, Rob McLaughlin was named rec coach of the year. Blair and Barb Main were named safety person of the year, Danielle Trahan was named manager of the year and Hutcheson is the volunteer of the year.

Canadian Tire’s Jumpstart program has garnered more attention with the May 1 launch of the Red Ball campaign.

The fundraising campaign encourages Canadians to donate throughout the month to get kids in the game.

One in three Canadian families cannot afford to enrol their kids in organized sports or physical activities.

During the month, Canadians have been able to make a $2 donation in exchange for a Jumpstart red ball at Canadian Tire, Mark’s, Sport Chek, Atmosphere and Canadian Tire Gas locations.

For the first time, National Sports and Sports Experts locations have participated by accepting donations in-store in return for a red ball. Jumpstart is encouraging all Canadians to post a photo of themselves with their red ball using the hashtag #JumpstartRedBall, to show their support.

Dawn Nielsen, customer service manager at Penticton’s Canadian Tire, said things have been going well leading up to the Jumpstart Day on May 31, which participating Canadian Tire stores across Canada have special events and activities planned for community members to celebrate the campaign and raise additional funds.

Nielsen said the Napolean barbecue rep is coming and they are barbecuing bratwursts and European wieners for donation. The Napolean rep is also giving away prizes, including raffling off a barbecue. As part of the campaign, cashiers are asking customers if they would like to donate $2 to get their name in for the raffle.

“So far we’ve made almost $2,500 just in the barbecue alone,” said Nielsen, adding she would like to make more on Jump Start Day. “My goal was a $1,000.

If we could make another $2,500 that would be amazing.”

“All of the proceeds stay here. I’m really impressed with the girls here. The cashiers have been doing amazing,” said Nielsen, who is organizing the event for the first time and added two years ago they raised $300.

“I’m so ecstatic how great this is doing. Just think of all the kids we can put into hockey or swimming.”

What excites Nielsen about Jumpstart Day are the by donation games such duck pond and ball toss for kids and the prizes they will be giving away.

Jumpstart’s goal is to raise $1.7 million through the nationwide campaign, which will give 17,000 kids the chance to experience the power of play.

“Sport and physical activity has been an important part of my life for as long as I can remember and I can’t imagine it any other way,” said Hayley Wickenheiser, a four-time Olympic gold medalist for Canada in a press release. “The benefits of participating in organized sports are endless, from increased self-esteem and confidence, to adopting good habits and leading a healthy life.”

Young golfers have been working on their game in the Penticton Golf and Country Club’s junior program since spring break.

Every Wednesday instructor Jeff Hollman shows them the fundamentals to prepare them for the golf course once the program ends in mid June.

Leading into last week, the golfers worked on their short game and split time on the driving range. They also get swing lessons in, working on chipping, putting and sand play.

Hollman said the improvements have been especially noticeable with the older group who have competed in high school events in Zone 2.

Zachary Gardner is the club’s junior champion. He finished second in the south zone finals at Fairview Golf Course after shooting a 76. He also fired a 74 in Salmon Arm. Kurtis Fontinha and Haley Hewer have also played in Zone 2 and the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour. Fontinha won his first Zone 2 event on Saturday firing a four under, 68 at the Dunes in Kamloops.

Hewer has also been helping the younger kids in the program and has had fun.

“The younger ones are just learning the game,” said Hollman.

“It’s great to see

IN BRIEF BMX club hosts provincial race

The Penticton BMX Club is hosting a BMX Canada provincial double race on Sunday afternoon at their track at Lion’s Park. The club is expecting approximately 180 riders, roughly 40 from the Penticton club, with racing starting at approximately 4 p.m. Jeff Babuin of the Penticton BMX Club said it’s a lot of work to set up, but should make for a fun race weekend combined with Vernon, Kelowna and Kamloops. When asked what he liked to see the local riders get from the competition, Babuin said fun. “For all of the new riders to experience a bigger race with new competition,” he said.

The club has enjoyed a good season so far with several new riders and changes to the track.

“It is all about having fun on your bike,” he said.

Swimmers break more KISU records

KISU swim club members broke club records while establishing new time standards in Kelowna’s Long Course meet May 9-11. Coach Tina Hoeben said the meet went well as swimmers had strong performances.

Club records were set in five age groups. In 10 and under girls, Marlee Caruso finished the 50 metre back-

his first year and said it’s fun. While making friends, McLennan has worked on his drive and

putts. He said he has a pretty good drive with the ball landing 200 yards onto the fairway.

As for his short game, McLennan said, “It’s pretty good. I need to work on it a bit more though.”

McLennan credits Hollman for helping him become a better golfer. McLennan has also picked up game experience competing in tournaments. While feeling some nerves, McLennan enjoyed that.

“I am feeling more confident about my game and just being a better player and having fun,” he said.

What also pleases Hollman regarding the program is they are maintaining good membership.

Last year there were between 65-70 golfers and this year it’s between 60-65. Where the program is seeing an increase is in the number of girls picking up the sport.

“I was the only girl for a few years,” said Hewer, adding that it’s good there are more playing.

Also helping the junior program enjoy success are the men’s and women’s programs at the golf club.

“It couldn’t happen without them,” said Hollman. “They give financial support and provide prizes and snacks.”

In the 13-14 age group, Anna Spence needed just 33.50 seconds to finish the 50-m backstroke and 1:14.30 for the 100-m backstroke. Justin Fotherby, Jackson Logie and Jaren LeFranc set new standards for boys. Fotherby, 10 and under, finished the 50-m free in 33.10 seconds, the 100-m free in 1:13.03, the 400-m freestyle in 5:50.39, the 50-m backstroke in 39.96, the 200-m breaststroke in 3:30.15 and the 200 IM in 2:59:94. Jackson Logie completed the 400 IM in 7:03.89.

When asked about his performance, Fotherby said he felt he did pretty good in his first long course meet.

“It was fun,” said Fotherby, adding he has more confidence. “My friends cheered me on and everything.”

LeFranc, in 13-14 age group, finished the 50-m breaststroke in 32.98, the 100-m breaststroke in 1:11.30 and the 200-m breast stroke in 2:35.25.

LeFranc was also happy with his performance.

“We didn’t really do much preparation for it,” said LeFranc, who earned best times in three events. “I still ended up swimming fast so that’s pretty good.”

LeFranc added it was “pretty cool” getting some KISU records in his first season.

The Pinnacles advanced to the championship game, but lost 3-1 to defending champion Williams Lake FC on Monday.

Williams Lake wins again Pinnacles women’s team takes open division of May Classic soccer tournament Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

For the third straight year, the Williams Lake FC men’s soccer team dominated the 53rd Pacific Western Brewery May Classic.

Williams Lake earned the championship by defeating the Penticton Pinnacles under-21 team 3-1 on Victoria Day. Fraser Laveay said his team played with a lot of heart and hustle, the latter being their trademark, highlighted by Ty Hough, which resulted in a great goal.

“The Penticton team got to give them all the credit.

They are skilled,” said Laveay, who was impressed with their touch on the ball. “Sky is the limit for them.”

The early stages of the match were physical and Laveay said they tried to play a little tough because they are a little older.

“We had to foul a lot more than we normally would,” he said.

Pinnacles coach Wyatt Seddon-Johnstone said everyone settled down after 25 minutes, but added it’s just the competitive side that comes out. Seddon-Johnstone liked his team’s start and felt they caught Williams Lake sleeping a bit, but they couldn’t capitalize on their chances.

Seddon-Johnstone also said Williams Lake had an advantage with a larger roster that gradually wore the Pinnacles down.

“We made some silly mistakes and they capitalized.

They are a good team,” said Seddon-Johnstone.

Scoring the lone goal for the Pinnacles was Xavier

Restoring a rare Mustang to magnificence Everybody remembers their first car but very few people hold onto that set of wheels long into adult life.

Tsawwassen resident Laura Ballance still has her 1967 Ford Mustang T5 but it has not turned a tire in years and has fallen into a state of disrepair.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!

Safety Tip: As high school seniors prepare for graduation, it’s important that parents make sure their teens are also planning for a side ride home after all of their festivities.

Grads often treat themselves to limousine rides but make sure they have a plan if they’ll be going to any other celebrations.

King of the open road and a giant among minivans

‘‘

Odyssey has become an industry benchmark for minivan interior features, fuel economy and its agile driving dynamics.

Bob McHugh

’’

When Honda launched its fourth generation Odyssey in 2011, it described the minivan as, “the ultimate in family transportation.”

Odyssey has become an industry benchmark for minivan interior versatility features, fuel economy and its agile driving dynamics.

While the market for new minivans has been shrinking in recent years, it’s still sizable in Canada.

A used Odyssey is a sought-after premium product that will probably cost a little more, but historically it also retains its value exceptionally well.

Compared to its predecessor, the 2011 Odyssey offered improved fuel economy due in part to a more aerodynamic shape that’s wider and includes a lower roofline.

Offering seating for up to seven or eight occupants, this Odyssey also came with a new “3-mode” second-row seat design and an easier to use fold-away 60/40 split 3rd-row seat.

Even its third row seat provides ample head and leg room for adults and a surprisingly high degree of comfort.

Its stylish “lightning-bolt” body belt line, that zig-zag just aft of the sliding door, also cleverly provides third row passengers a larger window.

A bigger part of the fuel economy improvement story was the new 3.5-litre i-VTEC V6 engine that came with Variable Cylinder Management (VCM).

The VCM technology allows the engine to operate on just three or four of its six cylinders when power requirements are low, such as highway cruising.

When linked with a sixspeed automatic transmission in the Touring edition of Odyssey it can achieve best-in-class city/highway fuel economy, rated at 10.9/7.1 L/100km (city/ highway).

The same engine comes standard with a five-speed automatic transmission in all other trim levels of Odyssey, which are LX, EX, EX-RES and EX-L. The Touring edition, which is considered the most luxurious Honda minivan ever, came with a 16.2inch ultra-wide screen rear entertainment system, a cool box for beverages, a multi-view rear-view camera with parking aid lines, a Blind Spot information system and auto-leveling HID headlights.

Odyssey also comes with an audio-based Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) system and a chassis-based Active Control Engine Mount (ACM) system to cancel out noise and vibrations that can occur during the engines cylinder deactivation.

Illumination of a green ‘ECO” light on the instrument panel is an indicator, although not necessarily, that Odyssey’s covert cylinder-deactivation is taking place.

Other than minor exterior colour changes there were no changes to Odyssey for the 2012 model year.

It got a back-up camera as standard equipment for 2013, but was otherwise unchanged.

Designed, engineered and made in North America, the fourth-generation Honda Odyssey has a very good reliability record and achieved a Top Safety Pick rating based on its Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s crash testing results.

King of the open road and a giant among minivans, the Honda Odyssey may be the pricey option, but it can also be a good vehicle investment. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

How to get noticed in Monte Carlo Monte Carlo, Monaco: Everywhere you look, wealth abounds.

The parking spaces in front of the Hotel de Paris and Casino Monte Carlo, Monaco, are filled with vehicles no less than $200K. Or should I say 200,000 Euros?

I’m feeling a lot out of place.

Ferraris, Maseratis, Bentleys, Porsches, Bugattis (yes plural) and other exotic vehicles seem to be a dime a dozen, as it were!

Even the taxis are premium makes and models.

The occasional “affordable” vehicle (like a 3 Series BMW or an Audi A5) manifests itself, but they already

Within moments of parking these bikes, crowds amassed.

Alexandra Straub

know they won’t be getting the premiere parking spots in town.

So how do you get noticed in an area where such opulent sheet metal resides?

A place where spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a vehicle is the unwritten rule, and even that might not be enough for a second glance.

The answer is simple: the 2015 Ducati Diavel.

You can hear them coming from a mile away (sorry, 1.60934 kilometres if we are to be continentally correct).

The devilish Ducati, even with the stock exhaust – which is new for the 2015 model year - could easily conjure sinister thoughts.

You’ll look around and try and figure out where the sound is coming from and why that it isn’t familiar.

The low-note grumble and throaty belligerence characterizes the twin pipes that are both aggressive yet sublimely pleasing to the ears. Now imagine amplifying that sound by more than 30.

A flock of Carbon Whitetrimmed Diavels set out to congregate in the main plaza of Monte Carlo.

That’s where our press briefing would take place.

On the way to the gathering point, the adventure took us through a section of the F1 Grand Prix track.

Hairpins, winding roads and silky smooth tarmac paved the way for us.

A reflective feeling overrides my senses while manipulating the same roads as some of motorsports’ greatest driver. It’s surreal.

For a moment, I feel like a champion. Though, that moment lasted longer than I anticipated.

The Bologna-based brand’s revised sport cruiser is one that commands attention.

Even if you don’t want to

look, its black hole-like nature won’t let your gaze escape. Besides, you’ve already been hooked by its exhaust note and the mellifluous sound from its 1,198 cc engine, so it’s too late to even attempt to look away.

Within moments of parking these bikes, crowds amassed. Never mind the Porsche GT2 RS a few metres away. Never mind the Ferrari California with pristine paint and glimmering rims. The Ducatis are stealing all the attention and for good reason.

Styling-wise, they have matured since its introduction in 2012. Though it is immediately recognizable, it has been tweaked. There’s now full LED illumination, a new headlamp cover and mounting and more, Giving the strong road presence that it has is its commanding and bulbous body, matched with a 240 rear tire; a tire that was specifically made in conjunction with Pirelli for the Diavel.

Though it might look like a handful, it’s not. And if a “handful” was measured in weight, you’re only looking at, or handling, 205 kg (452 lbs.)

Speaking of hands, its handling is quite superb. Taking on the twisty roads won’t leave you scraping pegs like other cruisers. And with 3 modes (sport, touring and urban) to channel the 162 horsepower (100 hp if you’re in urban mode) from Ducati’s new Testastretta 11° DS engine, it won’t take off on you without your consent.

With crowds taking photos of this beautiful beast, and asking to take a photo with it, I couldn’t see any other vehicles generating such fervor. It generates even more zeal when on the open road. But for now, the temporary celebrity status that these bikes bring are a welcome change from the norm.

And knowing that an item that costs at least ten times less than the vehicular ornamentation perfectly placed in Monte Carlo - the Diavel Carbon White model has an MSRP of $21,995) could be considered cheap thrills, right?

I guess it’s all relative. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

The famous Mille Miglia rally in Italy was packed full of famous cars and equally famous drivers this past week.

But when it comes to prodigious competition histories paired with A-list names, the combination of Jaguar Heritage Racing’s 1951 Ecurie Ecosse XK 120 roadster with Jay Leno and Ian Callum was hard to beat.

Recently retired late night show host, Jaguar collector and classic car enthusiast, Leno, and Jaguar design director, co-driver Callum, are legends of the automotive industry – and at the famous road endurance rally, the rare roadster complemented their presence.

Jay Leno hits Italian highways in a rare Jaguar

driveway

Prior to the event, Callum said: “As a Scotsman, Ecurie Ecosse is incredibly close to my heart – so the chance to drive this incredible XK 120 through Italy is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Factor in a co-driver who’s almost as much of a Jaguar man as me and there’s no doubt I’m going to love every minute!”

Leno commented: “I’m fortunate to have an XK 120 in my garage not to mention a few other incredible cars from Coventry but this Ecurie Ecosse XK 120 is one of the most beautiful Jaguars ever built. I absolutely adore it. It’s a real honour to be asked to drive it on the Mille Miglia and to be able to revel in its history with someone like Ian is a true privilege.”

the world, ‘LXO 126’ is the only surviving example of three original cars built to launch the Scottish racing team in 1952.

A race winner in its period, it is most famously associated with raffish Anglo-Scottish aristocrat Sir James Scott-Douglas.

Scott-Douglas competed in a number of endurance races across Europe with Ecurie Ecosse and even went on to keep ‘LXO 126’ as a road car in 1953. In the same year, the car returned to the race track at the infamous Nurburgring; Ecurie Ecosse mechanics hastily converting it back into a competition car when one of the team’s C-type’s met with an accident.

Since then the car has been the subject of a meticulous restoration. Resplendent in the classic

Flag Metallic Blue of the Ecurie Ecosse racing team, it was recently sold by Bonhams Auctions for more than $1 million at the end of 2013 and has been loaned to Jaguar Heritage Racing for the event.

It wasn’t the only Ecurie Ecosse car in Italy for the event: the Ecurie Ecosse C-type and D-type, the original Ecurie Ecosse racing transporter, were also present at the start in Brescia.

At press time, Jaguar Heritage Racing planned to tackle the legendary endurance event with a lineup of top-name drivers.

The route includes more than 1,000 gruelling miles (1,600 kilometres), hence the name, from Brescia to Rome and back in ten of the most revered and sought-after historic Jaguar cars ever produced. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

It is with love and sadness that we say goodbye to our dear “Oma” Martha Kathe Adeline Rose (nee Segelken). Martha quietly passed away at 101 years, May 16, 2014 in Penticton. Predeceased by her husband, Fred Rose, of 69 years; they are once again reunited by love. In life, Martha was a good daughter, caring wife, loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who was loved by all her family. She touched all of our lives and many others that shared in her kindness and affection. Martha was born in Hagen, Germany, May 15, 1913 and immigrated to Canada with her husband, Fred, and daughter, Edith, in 1952. She settled in Vancouver with a new life, raised a family and worked hard, showing a quiet strength that persevered in all her life. In 1998 Penticton became Martha’s new home and she was warmly received by her daughter, Edith and Rudi Krause; granddaughter, Tanya and Michael Murphy; grandson, Tom Krause and great-grandson, Brett Murphy. All of us will carry our memories of Martha in our lives forever and share these memories together. Rest in peace Oma, knowing your love for us has made us stronger.

NEW HOMES are starting to pop up on the Sendero Canyon residential development, which has seen little change over the past few years.

Submitted illustration

Housing on the rise Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

After years of a steady, if flat housing market in the Penticton area, pent up desire for new homes is starting to make itself felt.

“We currently have 35 homes under various stages of construction,” said Trent Blackwell, who represents Sendero Canyon Homes, a residential development on the east side of Penticton. Though the development was approved in 2008, the first home only started going up last October.

“From 2008 to 2010, there wasn’t a lot of movement in the Okanagan,” said Blackwell. But at a recent open house at Sendero, 200 people turned out to view the show home and look over the property.

“We are ahead of projections; we have had way more activity than I was expecting. At this point, it’s been largely the local population, but we are getting more and more calls from people outside of Penticton,” Blackwell said.

There are 131 homes planned for the first phase of Sendero Can-

yon, and another 100 in the second phase.

Blackwell said that if interest continued at the current rate, they were anticipating the market would absorb the new homes in five to six years.

“Realistically, we are targeting seven. Ten (years) would be on the low end of absorption, that would be if we are really stretching it out,” he said. “Throughout the Okanagan, we are seeing an increase in absorption and activity and that is something our realtors have told us.”

Blackwell said part of the growing interest in Penticton is due to factors like WestJet bringing direct-to-Calgary flights to Penticton Airport.

That increased accessibility coupled with the cost of living and lifestyle, he said, is making the city more attractive for oil industry workers looking to set up a home base.

“We have found there is a number of buyers in that category who are working in Grande Prairie, Fort McMurray, working in some of the northern exposures,” said Blackwell, who adds that the view from Sendero Canyon, along with

freehold lots and ability to incorporate secondary suites, are some of his project’s particularly attractive points.

“You are surrounded by nature, a really nice quiet serene environment with some great views of the valley overlooking the city of Penticton,” he said. “There is so many people that want to come live in the Penticton Osoyoos area, because you have an incredible climate. We know there are a lot of professionals that are wanting to live in a community like this.”

Blackwell also gives credit to city hall for helping draw new people to Penticton.

“Your city has been very proactive in the work they are doing to get the word about Penticton out there for people who are professionals who either want to commute or people later in their careers who want to set up here,” said Blackwell. “You are in the heart of wine country, you’ve got lakes everywhere, you’ve got skiing. There are just so many benefits in the community for people that want to live that lifestyle and a lot of people just need an Internet connection now and a phone.”
