Skaha Lake’s waterfront could be getting a major new development, according to a business owner whose company may need to move to accommodate the changes.

Mark Attrill, who co-owns Penticton Yamaha and Marine, said he’s been told by the City of Penticton that it will not renew his lease for the store and nearby marina when the deal expires on Dec. 31. He suspects the decision is related to the city’s public request for expressions of interest to redevelop the site.

Documents attached to that request, issued in May 2013, note “special consideration may be given to (proposals that include) intensive redevelopment of the site as a restaurant/hotel complex.”

Penticton Mayor Garry Litke declined comment on the matter, noting council is expected to discuss the issue at a closeddoor meeting next week.

“There’s a good possibility that we’ll be able to make some comment about that at our public meeting Tuesday night,” Litke said.

Attrill believes there’s a slim chance his lease may yet be renewed, but said the future of Penticton Yamaha and Marine, which employs up to 15 people at the height of the summer, is “unknown.”

“We have been looking at alternate locations, but there’s nothing confirmed at this point,” said Attrill, who owns the motorsports sales and service company with his brother, Matt.

The two have run the shop and nearby marina and fuel dock since 1998, but rented the land and building from the city on five-year leases that more recently turned into a one-year deal. They weren’t told why the relationship is ending.

The city “never talked to us in any way, other than giving us a letter stating they will not be renewing our lease. They have not been in touch with us in any way,” At-

trill said.

His own reply to the request for expressions of interest consisted of a pitch to keep things as they are, but he has since heard unofficially that a restaurant and water park are now planned for the site. The expression of interest documents state the redevelopment is intended to act on the city’s vision statement as an “adventurous waterfront” community that makes the most of its two local lakes. Available to the right partner are three land parcels, including the 66-slip marina and Yamaha shop, plus a nearby parking lot and park, all of which totals about 4.5 hectares.

The successful bidder is expected to “create some vibrancy” and “take bolder steps in pursuit of realizing our vision at the northeast side of Skaha Lake,” the documents state.

It appears the city wants a lease of at least five years, but “the more intensive the level of development, the longer the lease term that the city would be willing to consider,” according to the documents, and help will be available to “navigate the public process required to amend land use bylaws so that the vision can be realized.”

Boonstock cuffed for over-budget RCMP bill Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Boonstock’s boss says he wants to see an itemized bill before paying the tab for policing costs associated with the music festival.

“We are in the process of requesting a resources breakdown of the RCMP services provided to Boonstock Productions Inc., including receipts and additional details of costs incurred,” president Colin Kobza said in a press release Wednesday.

Mounties have called on the festival to reimburse the B.C. government $250,000 it claims it cost to police the August long weekend event, although the invoice sent to Boonstock by the province totalled just $176,901.10.

That $75,000 discrepancy is due to the 70-30 split of RCMP costs between the provincial and federal governments, the B.C. Justice Ministry said in a statement that it refused to attribute to anyone by name.

The $176,901 is the provincial government’s 70 per cent share of costs, the statement explained, and it will be up to the federal government to bill for the remaining 30 per cent.

“Salaries represented 76 per cent of the policing costs for the event. The remaining 24 per cent was for accommodations, transportation, meals and incidentals, and other costs,” said the statement, which noted Mounties were brought in from outside the city to work at the event.

BoonstoCk PResiDent Colin kobza said he wants a breakdown from RCMP of costs associated with the festival.

“It’s too early to speculate on what actions may be undertaken if the invoice is not paid,” the statement continued, “but the province remains hopeful the promoters see the need to ensure B.C.’s taxpayers don’t pay the bill for their commercial enterprise.”

Kobza, who agreed to an email by interview but then never responded to questions by deadline, noted in his press release his company has a nine-year track record of paying back police following events at its former home in Alberta.

Penticton RCMP Supt. Kevin Hewco said in a separate press release Wednesday the cost to police the first ever Boonstock here spiralled upwards when Mounties

identified “gaps” in private on-site security and called in additional officers to compensate. Hewco didn’t return a call for comment and his voicemail message indicates he’s on leave until Sept. 15.

“The planning of any major event plays a significant role in its success and safety,” Hewco stated in the release, which said Boonstock generated 150 police files that saw 38 people lodged in city cells.

“From our view, I cannot label this event as a success, especially considering the fact that a young woman died.”

Penticton Mayor Garry Litke said the issues raised by Hewco reflect poorly on the city.

“That was my concern from the very beginning that (Boonstock) was going to give Penticton a black eye, notwithstanding the fact that some businesses say they had a banner sales weekend,” said Litke, adding he’s worried the event will discourage families from visiting the area.

The 23-year-old Alberta woman who died at Boonstock from a suspected drug overdose was one of 90 people transferred from the site to Penticton Regional Hospital for treatment, according to figures previously released by Interior Health.

Spokespeople for Interior Health and the B.C. Ambulance Service said this week their respective agencies’ tallies of Boonstock-related expenses are still in the works. The festival was staged on privately owned land within the Penticton Indian Reserve near the city’s airport.

It’s unlikely the City of Penticton will pursue further legal action against a woman accused of defaming its employees.

At a press conference last week, Elvena Slump revealed she’d been sent a letter by a law firm hired to ask for an apology and retraction of comments she made about a handful of city workers.

Slump refused to apologize and sought legal counsel of her own.

The city now expects to leave the matter “probably right where it is,” and “likely not” proceed with a lawsuit, said Mayor Garry Litke.

“We’ve invested enough time and energy to let her know that her behaviour is inappropriate, but it’s up to her to decide now whether she wants to change it or not,” he said.

“We’ve got really important issues facing the city right now, and we can’t afford any further distractions of that nature.”

Slump said she’s still waiting for the city to inform her directly that it won’t pursue the matter further.

“I’ve got a letter from the lawyer that is telling me basically if I don’t apologize and do certain things that I’m going to end up in civil court being sued by one of the best defamation lawyers in the country,” she said.

“If the city isn’t going to pursue this any further, I suggest they talk to my lawyer.”

litke still undecided Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Penticton’s mayor says he’s still unsure if he’ll run in the Nov. 15 municipal election.

“I haven’t decided,” Garry Litke said Wednesday.

“Right now, I’m really immersed in the Union of B.C. Municipalities and all the stuff that’s going on,” he said.

“There are lots of things, very active files, and I’m trying to complete them before I turn my mind to an election campaign.”

He said he expects to make a decision when he gets some “downtime” between the end of the UBCM convention on Sept. 26 and the Oct. 10 deadline to register as an election candidate. The nomination period doesn’t officially open until Sept. 30, although several people have already announced their intentions to run for mayor or council.

Perrino steps away from politics Western News Staff

After a dozen years on Summerland municipal council, including the last six in the mayor’s chair, Janice Perrino will step away from politics.

At the district’s regular council meeting on Monday, Perrino announced she will not put her name forward for the Nov. 15 election.

“Over my six years, I’ve worked with two incredible councils and along with amazing staff we have achieved more than I ever dreamed possible,” she said.

“I have to say all of my major goals that I came to this table with have been accomplished.”

Among her goals outside the community was a B.C. government commitment to fund a $325-million upgrade, including a new ambulatory care tower, at Penticton Regional Hospital.

Perrino helped secure the project through her other jobs as chairwoman of the Okanagan-Similkameen Regional Hospital District and as executive director of the South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation.

She said her role with the foundation will require a significant time commitment in the years ahead as she works to raise $20 million to cover the cost of all the medical equipment for the hospital expansion.

“It’s the biggest proj-

such assistance.

In accordance with the provisions of section 8(2) of the Community Charter, public notification is hereby given that the application period for the City of Penticton community grants is now open.

ect we have ever taken on and we can’t fail,” she said.

“I wouldn’t be able to give the mayor’s job the time and commitment I’m used to giving and what I know is required.”

Penticton MLA Dan Ashton said Perrino will continue to play an “integral role” in the hospital’s redevelopment.

“Janice has a wonderful personality and has always been a pleasure to work with,” said Ashton, who, during his time as Penticton mayor, sat with her on the board of the Regional District of Okanagan-

Similkameen and joined forces to work on issues of importance in both communities.

Penticton Mayor Garry Litke echoed those sentiments.

“It was great working with her. She was so committed to improving health care in this region,” said Litke.

Other accomplishments during her time as mayor that Perrino cited included holding citizen surveys in 2009 and 2012, water separation and water metering work, the new RCMP building, a scheduled transit service to and from Penticton, a new

Perrino’s first mayoral win came in the 2008 election, when she received 2,183 votes to Peter Waterman’s 1,651.

Both had been councillors on the previous municipal government.

In the last municipal election in 2011, Perrino was the sole mayoral candidate.

THE TERRY FOX RUN

Celebration of life set for colourful counsellor

FOR CANCER RESEARCH Inspired By A Dream Grounded In Tradition Volunteer-Driven NO ENTRY FEE NO MINIMUM PLEDGE Walk-Run-Wheel-Ride

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 14

Joe Fries

Western News Staff

An eclectic group of people will gather Sunday in Penticton to celebrate the life of George Bullied, who led an equally eclectic existence during his time on earth.

Although his most recent work was as the operator of the Pine Winds Recovery and Treatment Centre in Okanagan Falls, his legacy extends far beyond the area.

Bullied, who died Aug. 8 at Penticton Regional Hospital at the age of 87, spent much of his life as a counsellor, healer and spiritual guide, with a special focus on those who, like him, had battled drug and alcohol addictions.

“He was happiest when he was helping others,” said Pat Diewold, who married Bullied in 2002 and was the co-operator of Pine Winds.

Bullied believed in “the essential goodness of people,” she said, and sought “not to crucify people for past mistakes, but to help them learn how to live.”

He grew up in poverty with nine siblings in Montreal, and travelled the world during, and after, serving in the Second World War and the Korean War. Bullied encountered many prominent figures in his younger years, Diewold said, including Mahatma Gandhi at an ashram in Calcutta, and Martin Luther King at a march in Alabama, plus spent time living with a Hopi Indian tribe. He eventually earned a social work degree from the University of Windsor, and in 1971 founded the Twin Valleys Educational Community near Wardsville, Ont. A sort of commune for troubled youth, Twin Valleys later grew to accommodate up to 350 people, including staff and their families, Diewold said, before it closed in 1983.

Bullied then headed west and established smaller healing communities in Canada and the U.S., before spending 10 years as an outreach worker in Vancouver, where he helped people with substance-abuse issues and AIDS. It was during that period he met Diewold, who was 14 years his junior and worked as a psychologist at Vancouver General Hospital for 34 years before retiring in 1999.

“I never had someone I could share with like with George,” she said. “And he was a very interesting guy.”

The couple together dreamed up the concept of Pine Winds and chose Okanagan Falls for its peacefulness and relative low cost of land.

“We were going to do spiritual work of some sort,

and where there was the need was in drug and alcohol (counselling), and George had great expertise in the area,” Diewold explained.

“Although I’m a psychologist, he was the head honcho, for sure, and I was the chief cook and bottle washer.”

At the core of the Pine Winds philosophy was the 12-step program. It helped up to five residents at a time work on the core issues of their addiction before the centre closed in 2012, when Bullied’s health began failing him. Diewold estimates that during its eight years in operation, the centre welcomed up to 200 clients, including Stacey Van Skiver, who formed an immediate connection with Bullied during their first meeting in January 2009.

“I just knew after 33 years of using drugs and alcohol that this was going to be my way out for a better life,” said Van Skiver, who noted Bullied helped him re-embrace his spirituality and spoke with authority about battling addiction.

Despite his mentor being gone now, Van Skiver feels well-prepared to meet life’s challenges head-on: “George actually prepared us for all this. He built up within me a really strong foundation for living.”

The celebration of life for Bullied is set for Sunday, Sept. 14, at 2 p.m. at St. Saviour’s Anglican Church hall in Penticton.

Autumn Savings Event September 5 - October 26, 2014

Minister rejects teacher’s near-unanimous vote Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Teachers have voted nearly unanimously to proceed to binding arbitration in their dispute with the B.C. government, which wants no part of it.

Members of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation on Wednesday voted 99.4 per cent in favour of a proposal to enter arbitration with a neutral third-party and reopen schools.

“If we are going to get a deal and get schools open, the government must show some good faith,” BCTF president Jim Iker said in a statement after the results were released. “Arbitrate, mediate, or negotiate. It’s time to put public education first.”

In his own statement issued Thursday, Education Minister Peter Fassbender dismissed the result of the vote as “widely expected and understandable,” and said reopening schools “is a goal we all share.”

“As we have consistently made clear, binding arbitration would lead to unacceptable tax increases in this case. That’s because the two sides remain too far apart on wages and benefits,” Fassbender said. “The best way to resolve this labour dispute remains at the negotiating table.”

Meanwhile, the B.C. Federation of Labour an-

nounced this week that it had co-ordinated contributions from a number of unions that will be used to fund $8 million in interest-free hardship loans for teachers. Leaders of 13 public sector unions also penned a letter to Premier Christy Clark calling on her to agree to binding arbitration with teachers.

EDITORIAL Possible development brings many questions The possibility of a Skaha Lake waterfront development should leave residents with many questions.

Penticton Yamaha & Marine, located on the east end of the lake, said their lease with the city was not renewed and that a restaurant and other amenities may be replacing it. Little information has become public. The mayor said perhaps next week they can comment on it after a closed-door meeting. Hopefully at that point residents will be able to get a feeling for the development plan. The land includes the full parking lot near the boat launch, a park and picnic area up to but not including the paddling club and water park.

In the heat of summer, the parking lot is full with boat trailers as is the adjacent area. This leaves questions as to where those vehicles will go. Will there still be a boat launch? If not, that leaves nowhere in Penticton boundaries to access that lake. Not to mention it could leave groups like the dragon boat racers in a lurch.

If a business is coming to redevelop the area will they be getting the benefits of economic incentives? These can eliminate building permit fees and property taxes for up to five years.

According to the city website, incentives are applicable to the area along Okanagan Lake waterfront. There is no mention of Skaha.

There are lots of questions to be asked of city council who, in 2011, adopted the vision statement that Penticton is an innovative, adventurous, waterfront city that focuses on sustainability, community and economic opportunity. If a restaurant and water park are being planned for that area, council may have decided that this fits better into their vision statement.

PENTICTON WESTERN The west end of Skaha Lake Beach is starting to move with development from the Penticton Indian Band and investors. Could a project on the east side complement it? Penticton is in desperate need of more high-end hotel space.

With so many questions being floated, it sounds like this piece of land could have the potential to become an election issue.

Family roadtrips leave a lifetime of memories One thing I learned from last week’s column

by Mark Brett is never to plan a vacation for any place he is visiting.

To tell the truth, I learned a long time ago to avoid even thinking about going to any place Mark is thinking about going to. Vacations for Mark seem to be a long history of hurricanes, earthquakes, terrorist bombings and others disasters.

Still, though, it got me thinking about vacations — especially since I am on vacation while writing this. These days, vacations seem to be mostly about catching up on housework and odd jobs.

I visited a few places over the years: typical tourist destinations like Hawaii, Acapulco and Paris, some not so typical like Arles, in the south of France, which

I visited because of its connection with Vincent Van Gogh — I wanted to experience the light that inspired some of my most favourite paintings.

But the vacations I remember best are those with my family when I was younger. I suspect my teenage self wouldn’t agree, though.

Back then, I was less than enchanted and eager for the day when I didn’t “have to” accompany my parents on these trips.

Looking back, those trips were an incredible experience. As a family, we travelled all over Western Canada and the U.S., from the Yukon to Arizona. And we did it the hard way, camping, first in an old converted van that could barely make it uphill without someone getting out to push and then, later, by

car and trailer.

Oh, and if you don’t think travelling like that is “the hard way,” you have never tried to squeeze a family of six — mom, dad, my two older sisters and big brother — into a car for any length of time.

Those trips, which started when I was six months old and continued through age 16 or so, gave me some incredible experiences.

Travelling this way meant I got to see the Oregon sand dunes, the giant redwoods, Death Valley, Yosemite, Yellowstone, the Hoodoos in Yoho National Park, Dawson City … the list is endless.

But I also got to see all the places in between, all the little towns, amazing scenery. a word which always seemed to me to be too cold and lifeless to describe the natural beauty of the world.

There were a few strange things along the way too, like running across a horse named Strawberry, who had a taste for root beer. If you opened a can of root beer and set it on a post, Strawberry would gently pick it up with her teeth, tilt her head back and chug it down.

Only root beer though — the mare

would turn up her nose at any other kind of soda.

In all those travels though, there was one place I never got to visit, even though we passed close many times.

Disneyland.

My mother still contends that I did go to Disneyland, with the rest of the family on its first big trip. Problem is, I was still six months away from being born, so I think you will understand when I say I really don’t remember much of the trip.

But it is my vacation now, and the housework is done, so it’s time to grab my camera, hit the road and do a little local exploring.

And the beat goes on The battle with government and teachers has been ongoing, in some way, shape or form, since the days of W.A.C. Bennett and successive governments thereafter.

Resolution has not been achieved and will not, in all probability, be achieved based on the sycophantical attitude of both players.

The losers here, irrespective of the prevailing political attitudes are the students, plain and simple. The David and Goliath scenario does not apply here.

From my perspective nothing much will change with things if the I’m right; they are wrong attitude doesn’t go away on both sides. Common ground must be found on some smaller basic issues if any progress towards addressing and resolving larger issues is to occur.

Marina woes

I understand that the mayor and council have decided that the citizens of Penticton no longer need the marina or the adjacent parking lot.

They have decided to lease the property for the opening of yet another restaurant in Penticton.

They are also leasing out the area that all the boaters from the area and tourists park in the summer. I am all for good restaurants but there is a lot of vacant land that could be used.

The boaters use that part of the park constantly.

I find it disturbing that we as taxpayers and citizens were not involved in a decision of this magnitude. Why has this not been on the front page of al the papers?

Lisa Sheaves Penticton

Hey ICBC, responsibility should have a price

I strongly object to ICBCs planned five per cent rate increase to cover the rising costs of claims due to irresponsible distracted drivers.

These drivers should be treated as impaired drivers, bearing the brunt of punitive legislation and rate increases.

When will we responsible drivers get an equivalent rate decrease?

I have had the same good driver discount as long as I have been eligible and yet, I have to pay the same rate increase every time the rates go up to cover the rising costs of claims of irresponsible drivers. Further, I drive no more than 12,000 kilometres per year,so I pay more per km for my insurance than the average driver that drives 25,000 km per year. Being on a fixed income, and I mean fixed, I literally cannot afford to pay for irresponsible drivers.

Let’s get serious with drivers

The overall picture that I see, as a retired teacher, is one where teachers have to practice what they preach i.e. student needs come first aside from salary, health benefits et al.

On the other hand, the omnipotent government needs to sharpen its pencil to address the true cost of educating students on a per-student basis.

After all is said and done, both sides are playing the money game instead of addressing the real issues regarding student wellbeing. What is there to take to arbitration if both sides are light years apart?

There can be no arbitration based on the dictates of one side or the other.

The one-size-fits-all rule does not apply here. Challenges by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and staunch refusals by the gov-

who make a conscious choice to endanger the lives of other drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. In the case of consciously driving distracted the first offence should cost $500, three points and double for the next offense, plus five points and loss of license for three months for any offence after that.

In the case of the conscious choice to drive distracted that results in death, a lifetime ban on driving. Forget the argument that the licence is need for work; driving is a matter of life and death and responsibility has a price.

Laurie Rockwell Summerland

Government will starve the teachers

I expect some or most readers will thumb their noses, or even go so far as to call it absurd, but it’s so predictable to guess the final outcome.

I understand the teachers are not going to give up ground they so bravely fought for and financially sacrificed to accomplish. But enough is enough.

This government will starve them out of house and home to make their point. Meanwhile the children’s education is being sacrificed to make a stand on these issues confronting both parties’ goals.

To see the empty classrooms through the windows and observe the desks and chairs, then look into the cloakrooms at the empty coat racks with a child’s name tag affixed is chilling to the bone to say the least.

No amount of money can replace the hardship being endured by our new generation.

The lesson being portrayed by todays’ workforce can’t be very encouraging to them, especially while it involves our children’s educators.

And if by chance the teachers ever get to claim a victory, the money our government has

ernment are not benefitting the key players here, the students, our next generation.

Both the teachers and the government are acting as Judas goats, if you will. Under the guise of concern for student education, both parties are leading students in a direction going nowhere.

True reality needs to be the order of the day. There should not be this bantering back and forth with accusations and excuses by either side. Common sense dictates that excuses don’t get things done. Demands by teachers and dangling of small carrots by the government are not, in any way, benefitting student education. Until reality sets in on both sides, not much will change and the students will still be hung out to dry.

saved during this time of unrest will be more than they need to meet the teachers demands. The irony of it all is, it will be the money lost in wages they receive, only to have to hand it over to the mortgage mongers and creditors who have been waiting with baited breath to see which way this nightmare would conclude.

In the end, no one wins, only our children have everything to lose.

Another point that home owners seem to be missing is the fact that we paid school taxes and we don’t have any schooling taking place.

I think they should be starting a class action lawsuit against the government to reclaim some of the taxes they have paid. Even home owners that don’t have children in school have to pay school taxes, and nowhere on your tax bill does is say taxes to pay for child care.

Hopefully someone will take this ball and run with it.

Today’s headlines fit the past

It was on Sept. 3, 1939, at 12 years, four-and-a-half months old, living in the Cadbury brotherns late 19th century planned village of Bournville, now a suburb of England’s second largest city, Birmingham, three miles from the Austin Motor works, where twinengine Fairy Battle Bombers are being manufactured, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain took to the airwaves.

On BBC Radio (the wireless) hearing Prime Minister Chamberlain declares “…consequently for the second time in 25 years we are at war with Germany.”

Back-to-school was supposed to happen next week but now we faced evacuation from

Ron Barillaro Penticton

cities; first time separation from parents and siblings, being sure to take our gas masks along.

Headlines last week, locally, Students Fear For Future, Protest Not Where Kids Wanted to be Tuesday, and Future Unsure For Arts Council would have fit for the first week of September 1939 in Great Britain.

So 75 years later (OK you can do the math) here I am in Summerland. Mistaken by some to be between 70 and 75 years of age.

Perhaps I could be a poster boy for the retired life here; or for the single independent life since age 50; but more significantly and particularly for 27 years at Legion Village, conceived and constructed back in 1972 by Second World War veterans, members of Branch 22 of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Any which way, I should have lived this long.

Time to tune in

It’s early September, time for a certain group of singers and musicians to start practising again so that they can entertain the rest of the community later in the year.

The weekly practices are more than the music; they are a great opportunity to enjoy new friendships, to challenge our ability and our memory, and to have the pleasure of working together to produce an entertaining performance.

The Tune-Agers will be offering Christmas concerts in Summerland and Penticton this December, and will be presenting their spring concerts in April 2015.

If you would like to be part of all this, give Gordon Dawson a call at 250-492-9844, or drop in at the Shatford Centre next Tuesday or Thursday.

A selection of comments on Penticton Western News stories found online:

On Boonstock policing costs:

“What are the costs associated with an average August long weekend, I’d be curious to know how inflated this is over a regular August long weekend.”

— posted by Amanda Stewart

“Well I think the City of Penticton should filter Boonstock into next years plans. We all know it was a benefit for the city. And these types of events only get better and more organized each year. Rather than pointing fingers. Might as well work together and make this event successful and profitable for the event organizers, the city, the Indian band, local businesses and the people that want to enjoy it. Festivals are being successfully held worldwide. There is no reason we can’t figure it out. With city support on policing and hospital costs, if the PIB develops the land to be more like park land and festival friendly, and the organizers continue to develop the plans. I don’t see why this shouldn’t be an annual event.”

On prolific offender Teneycke free:

“No matter how much you dislike him, justice must always remain just. The RCMP should be accused of harassment. That’s exactly what this case is.”

Penticto n is a better p lace

Family finds gift of giving back Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Alan Weaver and his daughter Emily want to spread the word about how easy volunteering can be.

Both Weavers help out with Better at Home, a program designed to help seniors continue living in their own homes by providing a range of non-medical support services.

For Alan, who works for the ambulance service, that might mean anything from fixing a loose board on a deck to changing light bulbs, one of his recent assignments through the program.

“I got an older man where every light bulb in his house is burnt out. He is in a wheelchair and can’t change any of these light bulbs,” said Alan. “He was basically living in the dark.”

Alan said the senior, confined to his wheelchair, changing the lights was an impossible job. but for him, it was easy.

“I was in and out of his house in probably under 15 minutes, and that truly altered his life. To me, that is a huge deal,” said Alan.

“Just little things like that take us no time to do that improve their quality of life immensely.”

There are many tasks people take for granted, Alan explained, but for an elderly person with arthritis, something as simple as changing batteries in a remote or resetting a microwave oven can become a major chore.

Alan started volunteering with Better at Home a little less than a year ago after being recruited by program co-ordinator Myrna Tischer, and, in turn, recruited his daughter when she returned home from school this summer.

“It was something I never even thought there was a need for.

Then, when you see it, you realize there is so many people that need just such small things done for them,” said Emily, who is studying in Vancouver to enter nursing.

AlAn And Emily WEAvEr are a father and daughter pair of volunteers working with the Better at Home program.

Steve Kidd/Western news

“They are so, so happy that you did it, and it took so little time out of your day to do it for them.”

Emily said she has found people value her companionship as much as the car ride to do errands.

“Even just to talk to someone on the car ride and tell you what they are going to do with their day. They are just so excited to go out and be with somebody,” she said. “It was different, it kind of showed me a different side of the community.”

When she arrived to pick one man up, Emily said, the man, struggling with memory loss, had not only forgotten she was coming, but even that he had a doctor’s appointment.

“Even just going in to the doctor, he was asking ‘Can you hold my hand?’” she said. “They are so vulnerable, and they just want somebody to be there for them.

It’s not very hard.

“That’s the biggest thing, it’s a lot easier than people think it is.”

Both Alan and Emily agree their volunteer work is more fulfilling than they expected.

“They always try to pay you,”

said Alan. “I tell them I am getting more out of this, believe it or not, than you are getting from me.”

The volunteers don’t take any payments for their work, but Myrna explained there is a fee for the seniors participating in the program, tied to their income level. That helps pay for some of the other services the program provides, like light housekeeping, yard work and snow shoveling.

But the problem, Tischer said, is finding people like the Weavers who are willing to donate their time.

Emily said this kind of volunteering fits in with varied schedules.

“I wanted to volunteer somewhere, but I couldn’t commit to the same time every day, every week,” she said. While she is heading back to Vancouver in the fall, she is already planning to volunteer for a Better at Home Program there.

In Penticton, the Better at Home program is a joint project of the Seniors Wellness Society and the Penticton and District Community Resources Society.

INFECTIOUS CONJUNCTIVITIS Conjunctivitis refers to inflammation of the conjunctiva, the membrane that covers the white of the eye and the inside of the eyelids. Viruses and bacteria cause most cases and tend to start in one eye and migrate over to the other eye in 2-5 days. If the irritation stays in one eye, a chemical or foreign body may be the cause. This article will focus on the infectious causes.

Viral conjunctivitis is caused by the same viruses that cause the common cold. Highly contagious, viruses can pass to the eye by rubbing your eyes or blowing your nose with your eyes open when you have a cold. Viral conjunctivitis causes profuse watery discharge. Eyes will be red, may feel gritty and be sensitive to light. Diagnosis should be confirmed by a doctor. Cool compresses and lubricating eye drops can be used to soothe the eyes.

Bacterial conjunctivitis usually presents with similar symptoms except the discharge will be goopy and sticky, possibly causing the eyelids to

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

be stuck together in the morning. A warm compress can be used to gently remove the crusts. Antibiotic eye drops are available over-the-counter to treat bacterial conjunctivitis.

Serious complications of conjunctivitis are rare but it is important to consult your doctor in some cases including if you are experiencing serious eye pain or altered vision, if selftreatment does not improve the condition in 2 to 3 days, if the infection recurs or if you have complicating underlying conditions such as diabetes.

To avoid spreading eye infections you should not share towels or pillowcases and these items, as well as hands, should be washed frequently.

Contact lenses should be avoided during treatment and fresh lenses put in afterward. Women should replace their eye makeup as this is a common cause of reinfection. Want more information on eye health?

Bittersweet goodbye for curator

BLINDS AND DRAPES

UP TO

Manager/curator Peter ord of the Penticton Museum and archives is leaving his position after nearly 10 years at the beginning of october to take a new job at the royal B.c. Museum in Victoria.

• Free Estimates and Free Installations • DRAPERIES ON SALE • Your Blinds and Drapery Motorization Experts

All good things must come to an end.

Peter Ord, the curator and manger of the Penticton Museum, has accepted a position as vice-president of archives, collections and knowledge with the Royal B.C. Museum in Victoria.

“I really love this community and I’ll miss Naramata,” said Ord. “It’s a real bittersweet feeling. I’ll miss watching my kids grow up in Naramata.

His final day at the Penticton Museum is Oct. 2, and he’ll be starting his new position on Oct. 6.

The move marks the close of nearly a 10-year relationship with the museum which began when Ord first moved the area and did contract work under the previous curator, Randy Manuel for about a year and a half. When Manuel retired from the museum, Ord was hired on a permanent basis.

In addition to the appreciation he’s got from people in the community for all of their support during his tenure, Ord recalled a couple of the projects he completed with the help of museum staff and volunteers.

“Getting the archives accredited was probably one of my proudest moments,” he said.

“There’s standards for archival management the museums need to achieve in order to get funding.

We went through and organized about a five-year plan, and to meet that was great.”

In 2009 the museum installed Vroom: The Magic of Motorcycles exhibit which examined the motorcycle and its place in society, as well as the technology, design and culture that exists with enthusiasts. One of the motorcycles Ord recalled being on display was a Goldammer cycle designed and built by Canadian Roger Goldammer and valued at $1.2 million.

“It was a great exhibit,” he said.

“It brought out a variety of people to the museum that might not normally come here. I remember parents bringing their kids here and grandfathers coming in with their grandchildren. It was nice to see.”

Looking back, Ord is pleased at some of the work that he completed such as updating space in the building and the creation of a temporary gallery space. He credited Penticton city staff and city council for making a commitment to keeping the museum in the same place.

“There had been talk of moving it to another location and that’s difficult to be around for everyone,” he said. “I think there’s now

a dedication to the museum staying here with the library and that’s good.”

While his replacement is sought, Ord said the current staff and contract workers are more than capable of ensuring the smooth operations of the facility. Finding the right person, and someone who will be a good fit for the community, is most important.

Ord said it’s not uncommon for a curator to remain at a museum for more than 10 years, so the time is right for a change.

“It provides a new energy, a new motivation and keeps things fresh,” he said.

As he reflects on a new beginning for him and his family, there’s one element he’d like to see continue at the museum, and that’s an innovative and efficient use of space.

“There’s always a temptation for doing things bigger and better,” said Ord. “I think it’s important we use what we have, and we use it properly.”

As Ord prepares to part ways with the museum, he noted a pair of upcoming events: the first is the Steamfest Regatta on Sept. 20 to 21, which recognizes a century of steam power in the South Okanagan, and the B.C. Museum Conference from Oct. 22 to 25 at the Penticton Lakeside Resort.

city gets green light of approval for initiatives Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Penticton has a new logo to sport on its official documents.

In August, the city was awarded green community status by the Union of B.C. Municipalities Green Communities committee.

But the logo means more than just bragging rights, according to Mayor Garry Litke.

“It does increase our qualification for applying for green community funds, grants from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. We have been making use of that,” he said. “Everything helps. This improves our resume and it will improve our chances of getting funding in the future.”

Litke credits the work of the city’s climate action committee, noting ongoing work to improve Penticton’s carbon footprint and energy efficiency as well as the energy retrofit loan program, which allows homeowners to borrow through the city to improve the energy efficiency of their homes.

“All that kind of work the city has been doing has gained some recognition,” said Litke.

The green communities status marks Penticton reaching level 2 in the Climate Action Recognition Program. To reach the next level, the city will have to achieve carbon neutrality.

Strike hurts athletes Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

JACKSON WHISTLE of the Kelowna Rockets takes a shot during a Vancouver Canucks prospects practice Thursday afternoon at the South Okanagan Events Centre. Whistle is among 10 players not signed or drafted by the Canucks looking to impress the NHL team’s brass.

Ex-Viper aims to impress Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Michael Zalewski got the rookie treatment by the Vancouver Canucks in his pro debut.

It was April 12 at Rexall Place as the Canucks were set to face the Edmonton Oilers. The former Vernon Viper was the lone skater doing pre-game laps.

“It was funny. I kind of saw it coming,” said Zalewski as he recalled his Canuck teammates watching him from the tunnel before joining.

“It’s a pretty fun time. One of the cooler experiences I’ve had. I think they let me go for three or four laps. By the end I felt a little uncomfortable and was really hoping they would just join me. Everybody gets a good laugh out of that. I think it’s a pretty cool thing for them to do.”

Zalewski also dressed for the final regular season game against the Calgary Flames at Rogers Arena and collected his first NHL assist after 12 minutes, 28 seconds of ice time.

“It was really an unbelievable month I had,” said Zalewski, who signed with the Canucks as a free agent following a two-year career with the Rensselair Polytech Institute Engineers in the Eastern Collegiate Athletics Conference in the National Collegiate Athletic Association. “A really cool experience. Spend a month playing with the players at that level. Overall it was just a blast. Hoping to do the same this year.”

Zalewski learned a lot from being around the Canucks, especially how they prepare and conduct themselves.

When Zalewski takes to the ice with the Canucks for their first game against the Edmonton Oilers in the Young Stars Classic Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the South Okanagan Events Centre, he will be using what he’s learned to take advantage of a shot to impress the new Canucks brass.

“It’s a great opportunity to give them a first look how I can play the game,” said Zalewski, who earned a silver medal with the Vipers at the

RBC Cup in 2010-11. “How I can play in every zone.”

Zalewski is coming in with confidence and focused to play his game. In 71 games with the Engineers, Zalewski had 21 goals and 47 points. When he stepped into the pro game, Zalewski said the difference coming from college is that “everybody is on the same level when you get to the NHL.” “Everybody is so good. So skilled and so smart in the way they play,” he added. “Things happen fast and it definitely took a little bit of getting used to.”

It’s that experience that gives Zalewski confidence and will help him in the tournament. Coming back to Penticton gives him flashbacks of the intense games he had with the Vipers against the Vees.

“I’m pretty excited for the opportunity,” he said of playing in the SOEC again. “I know some people from Vernon that will be able to come down and watch. I’m really looking forward to that.”

Vernon was a special place for Zalewski as he loved the two years he spent there. He also loved developing in the BCHL and said it’s a really good league. He feels the BCHL plays a more offensive style.

“It allows guys to play more creative and open and gain confidence,” he said. “My second year I benefited from that the most.

Good competition, playing in some fun atmospheres. Being there for two years was great.”

Find a friendly and respectable work environment

As B.C. teachers battle with the government and schools remain closed, student-athltes’ development has stalled.

“It really impacts the development of kids,” said Thompson Rivers University WolfPack men’s volleyball coach Patrick Hennelly, said of the strike.

With schools closed, it has allowed Grade 12 students that Hennelly wants to visit the Kamloops campus to do so. However, he said it will have a dramatic impact on his ability to see guys play. One of those ways is with the junior tournament they host, which is also a fundraiser for the team, which last year attracted 76 teams.

“This year will probably be zero because it’s early October,” said Hennelly of the tournament which also attracts schools from other provinces. “I don’t want to cancel it until the week of.”

Hennelly said he may have a camp that involves private schools.

As for the strike still going on, he said, “It’s unfortunate.”

UBC-O Heat women’s It really impacts volleyball coach Steve Manuel said his recruit- the developing hasn’t been impacted ment of kids at all. With club volleyball — Patrick Hennelly so well developed, they already have a shortlist of players. The Heat has also already met with Grade 11 players they hope to sign for 2016.

“Grades 11 and even 10 are our main priority,” said Manuel in an email. “Of course the school season is a good way to track the progress of these athletes as well as evaluate anyone that we may have missed, or any late bloomers.”

Manuel said they have their eyes on some athletes from the South Okanagan, but they have been watching them for awhile now and have a good sense of where they fit on the recruiting depth chart.

“Once the school season resumes we will have another opportunity to monitor their progress,” he added.

Nothing will change once school resumes. Currently the Heat are running a few programs that keep them in touch and working with local athletes.

“Having Okanagan athletes in our program is one of our priorities, so we work to continually provide development opportunities to the local players,” said Manuel. “We run a Volleyball Canada Centre of Excellence all year and a series of Heat Development Camps throughout the fall.

“Honestly, I believe that the strike is much more difficult on the student athletes than it is on me as a university coach,” he continued.

Manuel has had several players contact him for advice and with questions. Among them are how they can get scouted or if they should send old videos of their play, despite having improved since that time.

Summerland race for all ages sports

Western News Staff

The Interior Running Association (IRA) is putting on a crosscountry race for adults and kids Oct. 5.

Starting near the Summerland Rodeo Grounds and the Kettle Valley Steam Railway station at 10 a.m., adults face a 7.4 kilometre distance, while kids 3.2 km.

The adult runners make their way along the relatively flat TransCanada Trail towards Summerland, then at the 3.5 km mark, they will head back towards the rodeo grounds along a higher trail, which includes a few hills before a generally flat and downhill portion 1.5 km to the finish line. This race is suitable for casual and more competitive runners.

Last year saw the addition of a 3.2 km kids race at the same time that attracted 33 runners. They ran along the Trans-Canada Trail towards Summerland and then looped back to the start via a 350 metre hill. Adults not up to running 7.4 km can enter the shorter distance.

The races will have washroom facilities available at the start, spotters along the route, and draw prizes. There will also be prizes for the first three finishers in each of the five-year age categories for the adults race, including a bottle of Sleeping Giant Fruit Winery wine for adult age group winners. There will also be prizes for the top three in the under-12 as well as the 13 to 15 categories. To register for either race, go to www.zone4.ca. The entry fee for the 7.4-km race is $12 and for the 3.2-km race it is $8.

For more information or if people would like to volunteer, email Bill Head at theheadband@live.com. For information on the kids race, contact Mike Braid at jamibraid@shaw.ca.

The adults’ race will be the second of five cross-country races by the IRA and sponsored by the Vernon running and outdoor store, The Starting Block.

Great summer training for DePourcq Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

CODY DEPOURCQ, front, trained hard during the summer and learned a lot from working out with former NHLer Cam Barker at his home. Last season DePourcq racked up 20 goals and had 38 points in 58 games.

Emanuel Sequeira/Western News

It was a summer of growth and learning for Cody DePourcq.

The Penticton Vees cocaptain, through a connection with the team trainer, worked out with former NHLer Cam Barker, who is skating with the Vees to be ready for a new year.

“To see him work out … gave me a little more motivation throughout the summer,” said DePourcq, who was impressed with Barker’s gym. “He definitely had every little thing that you could imagine. It was pretty cool to use.”

DePourcq learned a lot from Barker, who played 310 NHL games with the Chicago Blackhawks, Minnesota Wild, Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks. He watched how hard Barker works out.

“How hard you have to work out to get to the next level,” he said. “I was able to skate with him and Duncan Keith and Andrew Ladd. It was a lot of fun.”

Among the things De-

Pourcq picked up from the trio on the ice was how quick they do things such as pass and move their feet.

“The way they think the game. Everything was that much quicker,” he said. “It was quite impressive. I was a bit in awe to watch them. It took a bit of an adjustment to keep up.”

He managed to do that a bit, but added, “they are NHL players. I tried my best.” Now he wants to maintain that and pass it on to his teammates.

“I really think that all the work that went into the summer is going to be a big step for me,” said DePourcq.

DePourcq was asked what he wants to accomplish this season to help the Vees have success and it comes back to the team.

He will do whatever is necessary, including blocking shots, winning face-offs and scoring goals to help them win.

“I just want to best player that I can be,” said DePourcq, who watches Carolina Hurricanes for-

ward Nathan Gerbe a lot.

Vees coach-GM Fred Harbinson has been impressed with what he has seen from DePourcq.

“You could tell he has added strength over the summer,” said Harbinson, adding DePourcq is more experienced and has mental maturity on his side.

“There is a lot of opportunity for him this year.”

Harbinson expects the Okanagan Hockey Academy alumnus to continue his strong two-way play and build on his 20-goal season.

“He’s a great penalty killer. Our team led the league in penalty kill last year and he was a big part of that,” said Harbinson.

“He will get a lot of opportunities through his work ethic.”

When the Vees face the Merritt Centennials in their final exhibition game Sunday at 5:30 p.m. at the South Okanagan Events Centre, DePourcq will play alongside Patrick Newell and Demico Hannoun.

Rugby club eyes title Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

The Penticton Harlequins senior men’s rugby team is eyeing a second Saratoga Cup championship in three years this weekend.

“Certainly when we did it two years ago it was one of our top moments in our 30-year history,” said Harlequins’ captain Dave Bellomo, adding that their first season goal was winning the Okanagan Rugby Union.

A cloud of uncertainty hangs above the third division group, at least in the mind of coach Ken Sommerfeldt, as some players practise.

“It’s not looking as good as we hoped at this time because of not being able to get guys out to practice on a regular basis,” said Sommerfeldt.

“To have only 17 available is very disheartening.”

Low numbers make it hard to run practices and Sommerfeldt has the feeling the team direction is going the wrong way.

“I’m not feeling really confident on our chances to come out victors,” he said.

Bellomo doesn’t share the same concern.

“As much as our numbers have been lower, I think on the weekend we will be okay,” he said adding it can be a challenge for out-of-town players to attend every practice. “If we have the same crew from the spring, I think we can win it.”

There is a change with

the number of teams in the Saratoga Cup. Normally a four-team championship, the Kats representing the Lower Mainland / Vancouver Island contacted Sommerfeldt indicating they are not able to field enough players to make the trip. Vying for the cup with the Harlequins will be the defending champion Elk Valley Bulls from the

Kootenay’s and Williams Lake RFC. As of now, the Harlequins will face the Bulls Saturday at 2 p.m. at McNicoll Park. On Sunday, Williams Lake will play two half-length games, the first at 10 a.m. against the loser of Saturday’s game.

The championship will be played at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday.

The Ice Girls will compete in an 18U division (open with A, B and C teams) at Softball City in White Rock Sept.13-15.

For six weeks, the Ice Girls have been training hard under coach Jeff Korven at Columbia Park Field to be ready for the tournament.

“I don’t think it will be over our head. We will have our work cut out for us,” said Korven, who has coached minor girls fastball for more than 10 years.

Korven has whipped the team into shape with various drills on the field and exercises using weights and other fitness tools.

Among the skills the pitchers have improved on is their ability to throw curve balls and sinkers. The camp concluded on Sept. 7 and Korven said since starting on July 1, the training was good for the group and the girls have completed their timed drills quicker.

“Every one of them is getting so much stronger,” said Korven.

Emma Reiter, the Ice Girls catcher, said the camp was tough but has seen great improvement.

“It’s been nice,” she said. “Fundamental skills are better.”

When it comes to playing strong teams, Reiter is scared and excited.

“It’s a lot of fun to compete against people that want to win and want to play hard,” she said.

The Ice Girls softball program is holding tryouts at Columbia Park on Sept. 20 for players born in 1997 and younger to form a B team. To sign up, or for more information, contact Kim Brazinha at 250-328-2917.

34 YEARS OF HOPE AND DETERMINATION Terry Fox was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer) in his right leg in 1977 and had his leg amputated 15 cm (six inches) above the knee.

While in hospital, Terry was so overcome by the suffering of other cancer patients that he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. He called his journey the Marathon of Hope.

Terry’s Marathon of Hope took place in 1980 with the simple objective of informing Canadians of the importance of finding a cure for cancer.

With fierce determination, he ran an average of 42 kilometres (26 miles) every day for 143 days. Terry was forced to end his run on September 1, 1980 when the cancer spread to his lungs.

By February 1, 1981, Terry’s dream of raising $1 for every Canadian was realized - the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope fund totaled $24.17 million.

Terry died in June 1981.

On May 26, 1988, The Terry Fox Run became a Trust, independent from the Canadian Cancer Society, and received tax-exempt charitable registration as a public foundation. In addition to our signature and long-standing National Terry Fox Run Day in September of each year, The Terry Fox Foundation is proud to include in its events portfolio The National School Run Day. The Terry Fox Foundation is

responsible for supporting close to $20 million in discovery based research each year in Canada - all monies raised outside Canada must be distributed to (a) an institute approved by the Foundation and its advisors or (b) remitted to Canada. The Terry Fox Research Institute (TFRI) is a recipient of TFF funding for translational research.

TFRI is an exciting new initiative whose goal is to translate rapidly today’s best science into better cancer treatment and diagnosis for all Canadians. The Institute will bring scientists and clinicians together across the country into a functionally integrated, geographically dispersed Institute with nodes in several provinces.

The Foundation recognizes the duality of its mandate.

Not only does it raise money for research, but it also continues to share the story of Terry Fox. The Terry Fox Foundation strives to maintain the heroic effort and integrity that Terry embodied.

It is a grassroots organization that does not allow the Terry Fox name or likeness to be commercialized or conjoined with other worthy causes.

To date, over $650 million has been raised worldwide for cancer research in Terry’s name.

KENTON GILCHRIST, right, of Asymetriq Productions waits before shooting some footage for the lifestyle wine show, Ventures in Wine Country, which features three Okanagan wineries. Gilchrist plans on pitching the show to cable networks. Painted Rock (shown below) in Okanagan Falls is one of three wineries being used for a new wine show produced by Asymetriq Productions.

The other wineries include Covert Farms in Oliver and a yet to be named winery in West Kelowna.

Lifestyle series captures Wine Country Scott Trudeau Western News Staff

A music composer-turned TV producer is raising a glass to a new show that he’s hoping will lead to greater exposure for the wine industry and a new reality-type series.

Kenton Gilchrist is the writer and director for Ventures in Wine Country, which will provide viewers with an inside look at three Okanagan wineries: Covert Farms, Painted Rock Estate Winery and a yet-to-be named winery in West Kelowna.

For this project, he has partnered with John Hunwick and together they have formed the company, Asymetriq, which is a post-production operation that covers film, TV and other forms of media.

Gilchrist said his adventure into capturing some of the faces and personalities at these wineries began when his wife took a teaching job in Osoyoos a couple of years ago. He’d just started a post-production media company, and was in conversation with someone when they planted a seed in Gilchrist’s mind, saying they couldn’t recall any shows that had been also produced that explored the Okanagan’s wine industry.

“As we settled into the community, we started meeting with people who owned wineries,

SIZZLIN’

and realized there were some really interesting people,” said Gilchrist. “At the time, I was probably more of a wine guy than a TV producer.”

However, the former musician who was born with an entrepreneurial spirit, and who had already made a name for himself scoring music for videos and independent B.C. films, was anxious to set off in a new direction.

Gilchrist began capturing footage of the three wineries in November of 2013.

“Originally, we developed it to the point where there were enough interested parties, so we started putting it together as a trailer,” he said, noting he didn’t have any expectations as to what might happen. “The process for pitching to TV networks can be pretty arduous.”

However, he realized as he was meeting with people and compiling footage, that he also had all of the key elements to make an interesting story.

The concept of Ventures in Wine Country is for the show to be a “lifestyle series” that covers wine-making from “grape to glass,” and not a reality series, which Gilchrist notes a variety of plot elements are used to pique and retain a viewer’s interest in the show.

Instead, he prefers to utilize the captivating personalities

and entertaining stories as the ingredients for a great story and that’s what he’s focusing on, as opposed to using footage of people swearing or fighting with each other as part of a storyline.

“I think there’s enough in the process of winemaking, from the planting, to the different types of soils, to the harvest and the bottling process to provide an interesting story,” he said.

“The added benefits are, it sells the wine culture and all of the beautiful vistas that are showcased in this area.”

Funding for the pilot episode came from Telus Optik, and the trailer is currently airing on Telus community programming and on the Telus website.

Asymetriq will continue to

shoot and independently produce up to eight episodes which will become part of season one.

At the same time, Gilchrist will continue trying to generate interest to pick up season two of the show from cable networks, such as The Food Network.

After a long career in the music industry, he welcomes the shift to another facet of the entertainment industry.

“It’s nice to get out and have an excuse and do something different,” said Gilchrist.

Kamloops author comes through again

Heather Allen 100-MILE BOOK CLUB

Ever since the success of Indian Horse, readers have been eager-

Medicine Walk, teenager Franklin Starlight is sent to fulfill a strange request for his father, Eldon, who he has only met on a few less-thanhappy occasions.

A deadbeat dad and alcoholic, Eldon is dying of liver failure in a mill town flophouse. He asks his son to take him on a journey into the hills, so he can die and be buried like an Ojibway warrior.

Franklin at first refuses. In his mind, Eldon is neglectful and weak

ly awaiting a new book from Kamloops author Richard Wagamese.

Wagamese became a household name in 2013, when Indian Horse was a part of CBC’s Canada Reads competition, and was the winner of the Canada Reads People’s Choice Award. That same year, Wagamese hosted a writing camp in Penticton for creative writing students at Princess Margaret High School.

In his new book,

— the opposite of a warrior. Eldon rarely visited the farm where Franklin was raised by an elderly farmer – and each visit was a bitter disappointment. Even so, it’s hard to refuse a dying man’s request, and Franklin eventually agrees to transport his father by horseback into the hills of the B.C. interior.

What follows is a story of redemption, and a journey into Eldon’s past, as he reveals the life he has lived — from

childhood poverty, to the Korean War, to lost love and his inability to be a father. Eldon has never been able to speak about his past, or reveal his story to his son.

Less reliant on plot, this book is an art piece about the power of storytelling. It delves into the storytelling tradition, exploring what the act of storytelling gives to the narrator and what it means to the listener. It reveals the inward process that must happen

before someone can harness the power of stories and be able to relate them to others.

The writing of Medicine Walk was deeply personal. In a Globe and Mail interview, Wagamese laments that people rarely ask him about the inspiration for his books. And he wishes they would.

“I wrote Medicine Walk because of the prevalence of absent or displaced fathers in Native communities across the country. I am also a displaced dad and I wanted to offer my sons a glimpse into why they grew up without me.”

I didn’t find Franklin or many of the other minor characters in the book to be entirely realistic. But the more I read, the more I realized that this might have been point.

Reading this book, I was to feel that I was inside a legend, and visiting a place that doesn’t exist outside of story.

And because Medicine Walk is a powerful story, not real life, I was able to step back and look for meaning, and ultimately, answers.

Movies in the Park returns to Gyro next weekend Western News

A free family event at Gyro Park on Sept. 19 will present a double feature showing of The Lego Movie, followed by The Princess Bride.

The Valley First Community Arts Centre Movies in the Park is hosted by the Penmar Community Arts Society and Downtown Penticton Association.

It features live entertainment, fun draws, and food and beverages.

In addition to a 50/50 draw there will be a raffle for three VIP packages, with winners enjoying premium seating with outdoor furniture provided by Home Hardware. Each experience will include a bottle of wine from Perseus Winery and a different community business sponsor (Burger 55, Brodo and Melt Mineral Spa). Showtime kicks off at 7 p.m.

The last film, Frozen, screened on Sept. 5 in Gyro Park entertained a crowd of about 1,600 people.

“People of all ages were singing and clapping throughout the entire movie and the feedback was tremendous. All the hard work the volunteers put into this event was worth it when we see the community support and spirit so enthusiastically displayed,” said Tarik Sayeed, board member of the Penmar Community Arts Society.

The Penmar arts society is a regional initiative with a mandate to give back to the arts community in the region, including donations towards the reconstruction of the Valley First Community Arts Centre (former Penmar theatre). Anyone interested in becoming a member of the society or would like to make a donation is asked to visit www.penmar.ca or call 250-488-9259.

All memberships purchased before Oct. 1 will be entered in a draw for two tickets to the centre’s opening night in early 2015.

Brandon Isaak and Keith Picot share a love for music and a creativity that has extended into being the stars of their own silent films.

The two of them are known as the Silver Screen Scoundrels — the stars of stage and screen, an endeavour that began about four years ago.

“Brandon said he had this app for his phone for making silent movies,” said Picot. “I made four that night, and it hasn’t stopped since.”

The pair will be screening some of their work — as musicians and actors — when they play the Dream Cafe Sept. 12 and 13.

Their musical collaboration developed while the two of them were with the band Twisters a couple of years ago.

“One day, we were talking about how much fun it would be to play kind of stripped down acoustic,” he said.

“Twister was kind of a jump-swing-blues band, and drum and harmonica and electric bass.”

When they began working together as musicians, they also began filming on their first tour together.

“We did the majority of the Silver Screen Scoundrels on that trip,” said Picot. “We did one every day, hotel room, wherever we were, we did one on an iPod. When we got home from that trip, I couldn’t stop, and I started making them on my own. I didn’t even own a computer, just an iPod.” Picot has since upgraded to a top-notch computer that’s used

strictly for editing his work.

His film work has since led him to adding another facet to his resume, filming commercials for businesses.

“I’m making minuteand-a-half, silent movie commercials,” he said, noting he’s got three on the go and a couple of the businesses he’s been working with are wanting more.

Three of his films play at the theatre in Salt Spring Island prior to the main attraction, and it’s only brought more attention to his commercial work. He and Isaak’s musical efforts have allowed them to continue to tour with other bands, and with

each other.

Individually, Isaak is a singer-songwriter and musician, who is capable of playing multiple instruments and has been nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award for Blues Album of the Year for Here on Earth.

Picot is known for the hard-hitting “slap style” he brings to the stand-up bass. In 2011 he won a Maple Blues Award as Canada’s Best Bass Player.

They recently finished making an album together, titled, Here on Earth, however they also continue to work on their own projects, said Picot, who added they’ve yet to cut an al-

bum as the Silver Screen Scoundrels.

“We don’t really slug it out as the Silver Screen Scoundrels, who do certain things together, certain projects,” he said. “We went on one of these arts council tour in February, we played 28 days in Saskatchewan at these nice theatres, and then we don’t play together for another three or four months.”

Isaak recently returned from a solo tour in Europe, and when he’s not busy making filming commercials, Picot has been playing with the band Cousin Harley.

Their shows at the Dream Cafe will feature about a half dozen of

their films and will be included in their musical sets.

“I wrote those to go along with these songs,” said Picot. “It’s like a music video from 1910.”

One of their films, Two Bit Gentleman, will feature Dream Cafe owner Pierre Couture.

They also have a comic book which they’ll be bringing to the show.

“We still play music together, we film together and we record together, but we also still do individual stuff,” said Picot.

Tickets for both shows are $6.

SIMON ST. LAURENT hands Cheryl Cowling her breakfast bag while (below) volunteer Rob Cresswell ushers motorists in the direction of the third annual United Way of the Central and South Okanagan/Similkameen Drive Thru campaign kickoff breakfast at the Penticton Lakeside Resort Wednesday. A total of $11,360 was raised which will go towards the $1.5 million campaign goal.

Western News Staff

Over the top is how organizers described Wednesday’s third annual United Way Drive Thru campaign kickoff breakfast at the Lakeside Resort.

According to executive director Shelley Gilmore, at the Central and South Okanagan/Similkameen United Way, a last minute cheque from Patricia Ward raised the total to $11,360, topping the 2013 amount by several hundred dollars.

“We are very exhausted but over-the-top excited that we beat last year,” said Gilmore, who also announced this year’s campaign goal of $1.5 million at the breakfast. “This community is just amazing.

The energy and enthusiasm that was there this morning, the volunteers there was literally a small army of them from Penticton and surrounding areas.

“It just shows there is a lot of pride in their community and really wanting to embrace the United Way and help us make a difference in their own backyard.”

Gilmore noted the average give per breakfast this year was up 50 per cent from 2013 to $12 a bag.

This current campaign goal is up considerably from the actual achieved dollar amount of just under $1.2 million last year and for good reason.

“It’s not just raising the number for the sake of raising it, it’s because of the demand,” said Gilmore. “We see a lot of agen-

cies we aren’t able to support and we want to change that.”

Among the volunteers out on Wednesday was Rob Cresswell who was at the Lakeside entrance with Scotiabank teammates Norma Lewis and Vivian Parenteau.

If Creswell’s various antics on the street weren’t enough to entice people in to the breakfast, it at least put a smile on the faces of passersby.

“We have to be the spokespersons to get the message out in the community and I believe in doing that and we’re having fun doing it,” he said. “I’ve used the United Way resources in the past and it is dear to my heart and I’ve been supporting them for the last 20 years.”

Cheryl Cowling was just one of the hundreds of people who stopped by, saying it was a great way to get a good breakfast in a hurry and support a good cause at the same time.

“It’s huge (United Way’s help) and helps all ages and every category so it’s wonderful to get behind,” said Cowling. “and if you’re too busy like me to do your hair and make up to get to work and you don’t have time to eat, it’s fantastic.”

Donations to the United Way can be made at www.unitedwaycso.com or at the TD Bank on Main Street in Penticton.

Flex is a short name for a big Ford utility/wagon type vehicle that can accommodate six or seven people with ease and seat them with an impressive degree of comfort.

Made in Canada, Flex is a hard-to-categorize vehicle that was introduced for the 2009 model year.

Not a car, a minivan or an SUV, Flex borrows from them all, so the ‘crossover’ tag is also very appropriate.

Stylistically the Ford Flex dares to be different.

straight styling lines, yet there are no sharp corners.

Its two-tone paint finish is separated by the dark centre greenhouse section, which gives Flex a distinctive ‘floating roof’ appearance that’s also appealing.

On the inside, even with all its seats upright there’s still 566 litres (20 cu ft) of cargo space in the back.

That jumps to 1,224 litres (43.2 cu. ft) with the third row down and a whopping 2,355 litres (83.2 cu. ft) with the second row flat.

The front passenger seat can also fold forward and allows Flex to swallow three-metre (10 feet) long object, with its liftgate closed. Flex can also have an impressive max towing capacity of 2,041 kg (4,500 lbs), when properly equipped.

Originally (in 2009) Flex just came in SEL and Limited trim levels and all-wheel drive was a ($2,000) optional offering. The only engine was a 3.5-litre V6 engine that can deliver 262 horsepower at 6,250 rpm and 248 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,500 rpm.

It’s mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and drive goes to the front wheels. Highway fuel economy is surprisingly good 8.4 L/100 km, but the city rating is a much thirstier 12.6 L/100km.

Two changes came in 2010 in the form of a new (lower-priced) entry level SE trim version of Flex and the other was a new optional 3.5 litre V6 EcoBoost engine (Limited trim only).

Turbochargers and direct fuel injection allow this engine to provide V8 like power, yet still offer V6 fuel economy.

The MyKey security feature and an AutoFold 60/40 bench seat were both added as standard equipment in all Flex trim levels.

A new top-line Titanium edition of Flex was added to the product line in 2011.

It comes with the V6 EcoBoost engine and all-wheel-drive. And other than a switch to a centrally mounted rear windshield wiper there were no significant changes in 2012.

The 2013 edition of Flex got a mid-life styling refresh that included a slicker new front-end treatment, plus minor improvements to both engine offerings.

Safety ratings are all topnotch and this, plus high owner reliability ratings, has helped put the Ford Flex on Consumer Reports “Recommended” list of

Although not as fuel-efficient, the standard 3.5 litre engine reportedly has fewer problems compared to the newer and more powerful turbo-charged V6 engine option.

A sleek and peppy roadster for the people

‘‘

The Miata/MX5 holds a Guinness Book of World Records title as most successful two-seat convertible roadster in history.

’’

Alexandra Straub

Looking at the specs, it doesn’t seem too impressive.

A 1.6-litre engine, 116 horsepower, 100 lb-ft of torque, a 0-100 km/h time of less than nine seconds, 14inch tires. Heck, my bicycle has bigger rubbers. Okay, maybe not.

But 25 years ago, the Mazda Miata was a product of those numbers. It wasn’t necessarily endowed in the engine department.

However, the two-door roadster did have everything else on its side. A sleek design, a peppy personality, a brilliant red coat and something that other cars have strived to achieve in their two-door roadsters over the years but have fallen short – longevity.

At a quarter century old, the Miata/MX-5 has achieved incredible success.

Close to a million of these drop tops have been sold worldwide. The Miata/MX5 holds a Guinness Book of World Records title of as most successful two-seat convertible roadster in history. Not bad for a car that packs in so many thrills for under $30K. Over the years, the front-engine, rear-wheel drive car continued to encourage the masses to drive topless.

Whether through a rag or hardtop, this specimen of automotive manufacturing and design allowed people to feel the proverbial wind in their hair within seconds.

I felt it as a kid as my mom was lucky enough to be one of the first Miata owners in B.C. when they came out in 1989 – a red one, of course – and took me out for rides frequently. Those memories have stayed with me over the decades, though I’ve been able to form my own bond with the car.

Not only have we (meaning, the various MX-5s I’ve

driven in the last 11 years) put down thousands of kilometres together, we’ve also been paired up at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for the Skip Barber Racing School experience a couple of times.

Nostalgia is one popular element of its appeal, but there’s an undeniable fun factor. Whether racing it on a track or just taking it to the grocery store, the first turn you carve in it will rope you in like an infomercial in the wee hours of the night when you can’t sleep. But in the case of the MX-5, you won’t have any buyer’s remorse.

Fast-forward through the years and you’re now viewing the fourth generation MX-5.

And what better way to welcome the roadster to the stage here in California than via a little band called Duran Duran. And through a live satellite stream that was broadcast here, and abroad in Spain and Japan.

The reasoning? Both the English music group and the roadster came into popularity in the 80s and continued to succeed and grow in status over the decades. Besides, “Rio” is an incredibly catchy tune to dance to!

That said, the MX-5 has a new, eye-catching look to it.

Not many specs have been released though I can tell you this: it’s lower, wider, and sheds 100kg in the making.

It also embodies the KODO or “Soul of Motion” design language.

This two-seater also comes with sexy character lines from its four corners.

Furthermore, up front, you’ll notice its headlights that look like they’re eyeing its prey; unlike the first generation’s pop up/down headlights that were more than welcoming.

Like with all-new models of anything legendary, there will be a polarizing reception. Some might think it’s too radical. Some might fall immediately in love with it.

And some will wait to drive it to make up their mind.

Regardless of the way it looks – which certainly helps its cause – it’s really about how you feel on the road, behind the wheel, and when you tuck it in at night.

More details about the MX-5 are scheduled to be released at this year’s Paris Auto Show.

Either way, I can’t wait to drive it. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Elizabeth (Betty)

June 17, 1923 – September 8, 2014 Betty passed away with her devoted family by her side at Village by the Station. She was predeceased by her husband, Frank, daughter, Darlene and eleven of her brothers and sisters. Betty is lovingly remembered by her sister, Erna Siemens, children; Harvey (Joan), Morley (Anne-Marie), and Lynn (Art) as well as 5 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. Mom was born in Siberia in 1923, immigrated with her family to Mexico and finally settled in Flowing Well, Saskatchewan. She spent many years in Regina where she raised her family.

Her love of sewing resulted in her setting up her own small business. In 1986 she moved to Penticton to be with her family where she spent the next 28 years.

Mom’s family was her passion and she loved them dearly. Her warmth, compassion and caring flowed through her to touch and enrich the lives of all she came in contact with. Many, many thanks to all the loving staff at Village by the Station who cared for Mom over the past year, it was truly a blessing. In lieu of flowers, donations in Betty’s memory may be made to Village by the Station.

Condolences may be sent to the family through www.providencefuneralhomes.com.
