BOONSTOCK BILL ADDS UP

APPLE CORE REVIEW — Jack Weber of Cawston has his hands full with this tray of candy apples which were a big hit with those attending this week’s Apple Day festival at The Grist Mill and Gardens. There were a wide range of activities and events and, of course, plenty of apples. For more photos see page B15.

Sunscreen and sandwiches were among the operational expenses included in the $250,000 policing bill for the Boonstock Music Festival.

Details of police expenses from the August long weekend event are contained in documents the RCMP released this week to the Western News through an access to information request.

Mounties’ wages, which the B.C. government previously said accounted for three-quarters of the bill, weren’t detailed in the documents, which focused instead on costs for transportation, food, lodging and supplies.

Out-of-town officers were paid mileage if they travelled here in personal vehicles, plus per diems of $73.65 for meals and $17.30 for incidentals.

Among the largest expense claims was a $1,443.74 tab that included one Mountie’s round trip from Coquitlam, plus four days’ partial per diems and accommodation at the Penticton Lakeside Resort.

Boonstock president Colin Kobza said the RCMP hasn’t yet responded to his request for expense documents, so he couldn’t comment on those sent to the Western News.

“We have asked for a description — detailed description — of cost breakdown for Boonstock 2014, but I can’t comment on a document I haven’t seen yet,” he said.

One of the documents released this week states RCMP at Boonstock planned to spend $2,200 on food and refreshments for 46 officers, many of whom couldn’t leave their posts or the festival site to have a meal, but the to-

tal was raised to $3,000 when 35 extra Mounties were called in.

Those officers munched on 192 lunches that cost a total of $2,576.02, less than the $2,928 it would have cost had they simply claimed their per diems for mid-shift meals, according to another report.

The biggest lunch expense was a $1,572.06 sandwich order from La Cucina European Market. Other expenses included: • $452.84 for various types of disposable handcuffs • $175.78 for coolers, tie-downs to attach the coolers to ATVs, ice and ice packs • $134.40 for sunscreen • $309.75 to have a police car cleaned, including removing blood and vomit from the interior • $511.89 for Gatorade, water, pop and snacks “We have an obligation to ensure that our members are hydrated and protected from the sun, so we put a lot of care and thinking into what do our members need during the busy, long, hot weekend,” said Staff Sgt. Kurt Lozinski, who handled the event for the Penticton RCMP. See RCMP on PG.5

WestJet prepares for takeoff Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

WestJet will be landing it’s first plane in Penticton in a little over a week, and the city said the final details of the deal are falling into place.

The city announced today their intention to enter into a partnership agreement with Tourism Penticton for that group to be the city’s representative in the WestJet deal, which involves a $100,000 marketing agreement with WestJet, and is still not concluded. Under the partnering agreement, the city will supply financial support of up to $375,000.00 for Tourism Penticton’s air service enhancement programs over a three-year period.

“Tourism Penticton will assist the city with its economic development program and services by developing programs to enhance air services through the Penticton Regional Airport,” said Colleen Pennington, the city’s economic development officer.

She said there are three factors that make up the intent of the agreement. Tourism Penticton and economic development have already been working together for some time with both WestJet and Air Canada to try and get eastern flights.

Tourism Penticton has already been involved with Air Canada in promotions, and there are opportu-

nities to do more, as well as potential marketing programs to increase the use of the Penticton Airport.

“So we bundled all that up into a three-year partnering agreement,” said Pennington. “Tourism will work to conclude the contract amongst other programs. That will be one thing I hope they accomplish rather quickly, but it does become a tourism responsibility to figure out

how to do that.”

However, none of that is going to interfere with the first flight from Calgary, which lands at Penticton airport on Oct. 26. Tourism Penticton is working on plans for a landing party right now, according to their general manager, Chris Bower.

“We are going to be having a special welcoming ceremony for the first people arriving here in

Penticton,” said Bower. He expects dignitaries from both sides to be there, including Mayor Garry Litke and Chief Jonathan Kruger along with members of the Calgary media and a group of travellers who are part of a promotion sponsored by Tinhorn Creek winery.

“A lot of them are going to be regular passengers and they are going to be quite surprised coming

in,” said Bower, explaining that the plan is to wine and dine the guests when they arrive.

But Bower added this will just be the beginning.

“We are going to have other events going on to continue to promote this air access. It’s not just the one day and then it is finished. We are putting together a plan right now how we can work with the different communities in the South Okanagan, so they have their opportunity, because this is a major gateway,” said Bower.

Pennington noted that some advertising for the WestJet flight is already going on in Penticton, designed to attract the attention of Calgarians already visiting the area.

But there has been some confusion, she said, over why one of the billboards sports a City of Penticton logo and the other doesn’t. It all comes down to who is paying for the billboard.

“WestJet chose to put the city of Penticton on their billboard when they wanted to promote the flight.

The other creative that went up, it will be paid for by Tourism Penticton, so it doesn’t make sense for the city to have a logo on that,” said Pennington. “I was happy to see WestJet promoting the City of Penticton, it is very kind of them.

But that is why there is the difference between the two.”

Perrino responds to hospital layoffs story Joe Fries

Western News Staff

In her farewell speech Thursday, the outgoing head of the hospital district acknowledged the pending layoff of unionized maintenance workers in Penticton is a “downside” of public-private partnerships.

Janice Perrino, who chairs the board of the Okanagan-Similkameen Regional Hospital District and won’t stand for re-election as mayor in Summerland on Nov. 15, said a recent article in the Western News highlighted one of the challenges facing the or-

ganization.

The article revealed 14 maintenance workers at Penticton Regional Hospital will be laid off in 2016 when operation of the facility is handed over to a consortium of companies that will design, build, finance and maintain a new seven-storey tower and other improvements worth $325 million.

“It is the downside of a P3, but it’s the only way we’re going to get this major hospital expansion,” Perrino said.

“We have to encourage the P3 company to take (those laid-off workers) on, but it’s all we can do.”

Those being laid off are members of the International Union of Operating Engineers and the Hospital Employees’ Union.

Perrino also pointed out, however, that of the 55 such workers who lost their jobs after similar upgrades at hospitals in Vernon and Kelowna, only two went elsewhere, while the others retired or were taken on by the P3 group.

Lori Holloway, Interior Health’s regional director of facilities management and operations, said previously that the P3 company will need full control over the entire site well before the ambulatory care tower opens in

2019.

“The P3 partners invest a lot of money into these projects, and because plant services is such a key component of the project, they want to make sure they run plant services,” Holloway said.

“They want to make sure it’s looked after as best as possible.”

Interior Health has also noted that the PRH expansion and upgrade project is expected to create 83 net new jobs. The successful P3 partner isn’t expected to be announced until October 2015, and will likely be given a 30-year contract.

Decision in Oliver man’s sex abuse trial reserved until a later date Joe Fries

Western News Staff

While the lawyer defending Tyrone Borba suggested an alleged victim of sexual abuse likes making up stories, the opposing Crown prosecutor argued those tales contain too many graphic details to be false.

It’s now up to B.C. Supreme Court Justice Catherine Bruce to decide if the boy can be believed, following a seven-day trial that wrapped up Wednesday in Penticton.

Borba, 23, is charged with sexual interference, invitation to sexual touching and sexual assault in relation to offences alleged to have occurred from June 2011 through August 2012, mostly at Borba’s home in Oliver.

The identity of the alleged victim, now 12, is protected by a routine publication ban.

In his closing arguments, defence counsel Michael Welsh focused on what he termed “major inconsistencies” in the boy’s statements to police and later at a preliminary inquiry and trial.

The boy “likes to tell stories and embellish stores and make

stories up because they make him the centre of attention,” said Welsh.

He noted the number of times the child alleged he was abused “ballooned” during proceedings, like first telling police Borba put his hands down the boy’s shorts once, then telling the trial it was 10 times.

Welsh also pointed out how the boy testified that Borba had shown him pornography, but then admitted under crossexamination it was a lie.

The way in which the alleged victim delivered his testimony was another issue for Welsh, who noted the boy, appearing via videoconference from elsewhere in the courthouse, made small talk and waved to supporters during breaks in the proceedings.

“He seemed, frankly, to be enjoying testifying,” said Welsh, who did not offer a motive for the child to concoct the broader allegations against Borba.

“Sometimes, one can’t explain these things,” the lawyer said.

Crown counsellor Catherine Crockett argued, however, that inconsistencies in the child’s testimony, particularly about

things that happened multiple times when he was between the ages of nine and 10, are to be expected.

She also urged the judge not to read anything into the boy’s outgoing manner while testifying.

“It’s quite conceivable that children can respond in a number of ways to events like this in their lives,” said Crockett.

“It’s possible he holds up in court and doesn’t hold up outside court. We don’t know.”

Crockett then keyed in on elements of the boy’s testimony, including graphic details about sex acts, and said it’s “hard to imagine a scenario (in which) a child would think this up themselves.”

“These are simply not things he would know about at that age,” she said.

As for the boy’s lie about Borba showing him pornography, Crockett explained it was related to the child’s attempt to get out of trouble when his mom discovered pornographic material on the boy’s iPod. “But that’s the only point he was shaken on,” said Crockett.

Justice Bruce reserved her decision until a later date that will be set Oct. 20.

PIB eyeing medical pot Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

The Okanagan people have a long history of using plants for their medicinal properties, and now the Penticton Indian Band is looking at taking that to a whole new level.

Chief Jonathan Kruger confirmed the band is investigating the possibility of partnering with a company that wants to start cultivating medical marijuana on band lands.

“We have signed a letter of interest, which is a non-binding agreement,” said Kruger. That, he explained has kicked off the process of talking to the community and doing a feasibility study as well as looking costs for environmental assessments and other factors.

If the indications are positive, he continued, they will start the process to take it to a community referendum.

Kaneh Bosm BioTechnology Inc. is the company

in question. Last week, their president Michael Martinz and vice-president of corporate development Brian O’Dea visited the band and held an introductory meeting and an education information session about medical marijuana.

Kruger said he is surprised that he is already hearing more positive than negative comments.

“I just can’t believe how much support we have,” said Kruger, adding that band members are educating themselves on both the rules for medical marijuana operations as well as the healing properties of the plant.

“It is awesome to hear a lot of support, but we still have to do our due diligence and all the other procedures, talking with Aboriginal Affairs and Health Canada, making sure those standards and safety issues and security has to fall into place,” said Kruger.

Kruger said there is a lot of work to do to see if the concept is feasible, but even though the process is in early stages, it has been positive so far.

Community service for panhandlers Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Two men caught soliciting drivers for money near a Penticton gas station in violation of a rarely used provincial law have been sentenced to 15 hours of community service.

Jordan Brian Ricketts and Erwin Alois Sedlmeier were ticketed under the Safe Streets Act that was created a decade ago to cut down on aggressive panhandling.

The men had each completed 15 hours of community service by

the time they were sentenced on Thursday in provincial court in Penticton to absolute discharges, meaning the offences will be removed from their records.

Defence counsel James Pennington said both were caught panhandling on Feb. 13, 2014, on a median near the Chevron station at the intersection of Eckhardt Avenue and Railway Street.

He told the court Ricketts and Sedlmeier went out that day to supplement their disability pensions, which are difficult to stretch.

“By the time you get to the end of the month, the pot is dry, so they resorted to panhandling,” said Pennington. “That’s how they made up the deficit at the end of the month.”

He also noted his clients had at one point done odd jobs for local non-profits to make ends meet, but “funding has more or less dried up for these community organizations.”

Both men, who completed their community service on Oct. 2, donated their time picking weeds around Penticton hospital.

Breakdown of Mountie costs to Boonstock From RCMP on PG.1 Many officers were paid overtime since they were called in on days off, and Lozinski himself filed what appeared to be the largest single claim for a 17-hour shift.

“It certainly ended up being long, complicated days,” he said, in reference to issues like a suspected drug overdose death and gaps in private security at the festival.

To address those problems, the RCMP also called in members of the B.C. Sheriff Service, which billed $5,202.

Boonstock has yet to reimburse the B.C. government the $176,901.10 that represents the province’s 70 per cent portion of RCMP costs, which it shares with the federal government.

However, “the province and RCMP have been in contact with the promoter who has requested more information,” Justice Ministry spokesman Stuart Bertrand said in a statement.

Kobza said he’s not ready yet to discuss Boonstock 2015, which would be the second one held in Penticton after nine years in Alberta.

“Obviously, we’re working on a plan,” he said,

EDITORIAL

Candidates please promise to not over promise Here’s a simple request for candidates seeking election in the upcoming school board and municipal election: Only promise what you can deliver.

That might seem an obvious request.

But all too often, candidates vow to achieve things they clearly cannot. They either fail to provide the true cost of their promise, or they promise something outside the legal mandate of the office they seek.

Call it enthusiasm. Call it lack of experience. Either way it doesn’t serve the voter.

For example, there are some fairly severe limits on what a city can and cannot do.

It must work within the provincial legislation that governs its existence. A promise to silence every train whistle within the city boundaries might sound attractive, but trains are a federal responsibility. City council can’t make them do anything. Likewise, a promise by a school board candidate to hire more teachers won’t happen without an explanation of where the money to pay for those new employees will come from. And school districts cannot, by provincial law, run a deficit.

None of this is to suggest candidates can’t have ideas or voice creative and imaginative solutions, but they have an obligation to votWESTERN ersPENTICTON to ensure that what they promise is practical — or more particularly, possible.

And we as voters have the responsibility to do the research and ask the tough questions to ensure these lofty ideas have some grounding in reality.

Don’t touch that dial or drill or screwdriver Okay, this one’s called do it yourself (DIY) and why I DON’T. Yes, I admire these, often selftrained, men and women who are able to tear apart and reassemble a car engine on their lunch breaks.

Then there’s my brother-inlaw Marty who, despite having only one arm, single handedly built us a wrap-around deck in a matter of days My ineptitude in being able to complete even the most simple projects was drilled home when Marty actually fired me when I was helping him re-shingle our shed roof.

But then again, it was not unexpected as I seemed to be making things worse rather than easing the burden.

For me this has been a learning (the hard way) experience about what I can and, more importantly, cannot do around the house in terms of repairs and renovations and sadly, even basic maintenance.

There was a time when I foolishly believed it was a gendergiven right to tackle any project and succeed, I guess much the same as not needing to ask directions when driving.

These days when I see an ad-

vertisement for anything containing the term, “Handyman Special” I quickly turn the page.

While this space should not be dedicated to true confessions, I feel it is important to wipe the slate clean of some of the more unbelievable blunders.

And as my wife will swear on a stack of bankbooks, the following stories are true, I mean, after all, you can’t make this stuff up.

Well, I guess it’s good for the economy and surprisingly, especially in the case of the electrical disasters, no one was injured and the power was restored to much of the neighbourhood quite quickly.

On the maintenance side, the

Furnace Filter Fiasco will go down in the books as one of the best (worst).

I understand this particular incident did go viral in Furnace Guys’ social media and is a favourite story “Did I tell you about the time…” at their regular conventions.

In this case, for two years I diligently changed the filter located on the right side of the appliance.

Strangely however, each time it never really seemed that dirty.

Eventually we had a Furnace Guy come over to do a tune up.

When he finished and I was writing a cheque for the work, he said everything looked fine but I really should change the filter more often.

He then held up what appeared to be a large, hairy (we had a lot of cats then) item that was the colour of a tea bag.

When I argued I regularly put a new filter in he asked where I had taken the used one from and I pointed to the location, which was actually empty.

With what I now believe were super human powers he remained stoic, informing me I had been changing the spare filter.

Oh. While I was eventually able to

successfully put in a light fixture without causing a nation-wide blackout I took on a challenge of much greater and dangerous proportions, The Ceiling Fan. The end result in my case when I turned it on was the equivalent of being locked in a small room with a radio-controlled model helicopter.

This takes me to the professionals who come in and clean up the mess, which more often than not simply involved flipping a breaker switch ($100 well spent).

To me, what makes these people professionals is as much their ability to keep a straight face as it is to correct the problem.

Case in point is the Furnace Guy. At least now I know when the work van remains in the driveway for a little longer than it should, I realize that those are not tears of sadness.

So needless to say, these days whenever the DIY urge kicks in, I simply sit back in the chair, LOL and reach for the business directory. Job well done.

Make the city memorable I wonder if we are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory with the watered down north green concept.

We have a chance to create something truly memorable but instead opted for mediocrity.

At the last TEDxPenticton, Christof Appel gave a great talk on Being Memorable (to watch it go to tedxpenticton.ca). A big part of making Penticton “vibrant” is to make it memorable so folks will want to come back.

Christof suggests the keys to being memorable are 1) something must have aesthetic or intellectual appeal (the wow factor) as well as 2) have a strong emotional reaction (good or bad). Think of losing one’s virginity, 9/11, JFK assassination, birth of a child, Lady Di : they all have a strong sense of uniqueness to them, the wow, followed by a strong emotional reaction. For these reasons we will always remember these events and where we were when

City of Penticton services

I have a medium sized construction and engineering business that I started from scratch in 1995.

As a result of my business and career, I have had extensive dealings with the City of Penticton (COP). I also sit on the development services committee and have done so for at least the last 15 years. Whether it was securing a development or building permit or a variance to a subdivision application, I know first-hand what it is like to deal with the COP. I have witnessed dozens of people come and go at the COP. It finally seems that we have a core group of experienced people working at city hall and yard.

I can say with certainty that city hall including city council runs in the most efficient manner that I have ever witnessed since I moved here to Penticton in 1989. City staff are pleasant and professional in their dealings with the public. Turnaround times on building permits are reasonable and at an all-time low. The city is open for business. This cooperative or new attitude over the last few years is a result of direction from senior management and city

The Gyro Park and War Memorial Park are in the heart of our city. Main Street should be truncated just past City Hall with access to the City Hall parking lot to the west and court house parking lot to the east. This creates a wonderful, people friendly space with no cars. It is a blank canvas which allows us to create an amazing wow space that residents and visitors alike will fall in love with; two key factors for making Penticton memorable.

Think of what makes wonderful urban experiences. A large gazebo with lots of benches inviting folks to relax. A portion of the roadbed could be converted into a skating rink in the winter and roller rink in summer. We could have a solar powered carousel. At lunch and in the evenings a portion of the area could see food trucks plying their trade and diners eating au plein aire. Entrepreneurs’ could rent out bicycles,

council at the COP. I say all this, as I see a lot of negative news directed at senior management at the COP. Yes, everyone makes mistakes and if we had perfect hindsight we would not make any mistakes. But this is impossible. We make the best decisions we can and base it on the best information that we have available.

When I look at all of the recent decisions and recommendations made by senior COP staff, I see some positive ones.

Examples include: full core review in 2010 with recommendations acted on, three years with zero tax increases, numerous collective agreements negotiated, downtown revitalization, economic incentives, etc. These are good sound decisions which directly impact all our citizens and businesses.

I see attention directed at the city’s CAO salary. The negative criticism seems to suggest that the salary is too high. The City of Penticton is a business and one that is difficult to run. I think we are lucky to have such a professional and competent person in this role.

The salary earned in this position is completely in line with industry standards.

Segways and other things.

Other business ideas are the Saturday markets but during the summer there might be an area for a daily market to service the downtown residents with fresh produce every day. Artists could sell their art, there could be a speaker’s corner for sharing ideas, Ping Pong tables, bocce pits, Frisbee golf; the list goes on.

It becomes a fun, people place.

The current plan to allow cars to divide these two parks is sadly predictable. Cars take precedence over people in our community as we see with the lip service granted cycling commuters. The north green plan is a yawner and proves we talk a good game about being “vibrant” but once again, come up short on vision.

Punt the road and invest in some infrastructure and suddenly you have something special.

Something memorable.

Thanks for taking the time

I recently lost my driver’s licence while I was at the farmer’s market. I didn’t discover the loss until after the market was closed and the street returned to normal traffic.

Although I did go back and check, it was hopeless. Besides the loss of this important piece of identification, I could not drive for the weekend until the li-

Since I was not at home, I would now like to thank the person who was so kind. It is very heartwarming to know there are kind people who take the time, and I feel very fortunate to be living in the city of Penticton where these things happen.

ne of the most important, defining things about me is that my family has been in Penticton for four generations. I feel it is my civic duty to give back to the community by representing Pentictonites at the city council level. I am a small business owner, a father, and a proud member of this community, I see myself as an advocate for protecting and nurturing this town’s economic, structural, and social well being.

I have three main areas in my platform: safety and infrastructure development through hiring more firefighters,

I graduated from Pen High in 1983. I am presently employed for 22 years at Penticton Lock and Key. I am married with two children. I presently sit on the board for the Penticton Transit Committee as well as being a director on the board for the Pinnacles Football Club. I have also served as the president of the Penticton BMX club, nine years as a RCMP auxiliary, and three years with the Kaleden volunteer fire department.

Thankfully I had that money buffer, as I was in a very bad motorcycle accident in 2006, where I lost 60 per cent of my skin. Employment is a massive issue here, as it is almost impossible to get a job. Ultimately

I want to embrace the future in equal measure. I’m concerned about our direction.

Incompetence, law suits, division — this has to stop.

like the small city atmosphere, physical layout, and pace of life that Penticton has. Along with the climate, that’s why many of our residents are in Penticton and its partly why my wife and I are here. After an introduction to public service, decades of operating a small business, and then working in the non-profit sector, we came to Penticton because it has the chance to be a model small city. I think the focus of city council and administration efforts (time and money) should be on building and maintaining Pent-

A longstanding member of Penticton Writers And Publishers, I have also served on the Penticton and District Community Arts Council board. Unimpressed with the current situation at city hall, which is in desperate need of another core services review, I believe I can do better. My number one issue is the lack of long-term, year-round,

icton as a model small city, with emphasis on the small. There is only one fundamental way to do that; intensive public involvement in how the city plans and operates. I will work to establish a formalized planning and participation process that entitles residents to regular and inclusive participation in what the city does and how it spends our money.

Departments can then present additional projects, and it will be up to the council to deliberate whether or not to support them.

SAD is a short term for a condition called seasonal affective disorder. It is a type of depression that seems to be related to the amount of daylight to which people are exposed. Every year, as the days get shorter, about 2 or 3 people out of 100 are affected by SAD. More common is the “winter blues” which presents with less severe symptoms than SAD and affects 15 out of 100 people. SAD is more common in women than men and it usually begins when people are in their 20’s.

The cause of SAD is unknown but it is believed to be due to a decrease in a person’s exposure to sunlight. Since the amount of the hormone melatonin that is released from the pineal gland depends on the amount of light entering the eyes, SAD may also be related to the levels of melatonin in the body. The darkness at night causes melatonin to be produced, which makes people drowsy.

In the morning, the bright light of the sun causes the pineal gland to stop producing melatonin. On dark winter days, not enough light is received to trigger this waking process for some people causing them to feel “low”.

SAD – MORE THAN THE “WINTER BLUES”

Doug Maxwell

Symptoms of SAD usually occur between October and April.

These symptoms include lethargy and fatigue, social withdrawal, inability to focus or concentrate, sadness, anxiety, despair, weight gain, irritability and increased sleep. Diagnosis is based on meeting certain criteria. You doctor might also send you for blood tests to rule out other conditions.

Options for treating SAD include light therapy, exercise and, in severe cases, antidepressant medications. Light therapy with exposure to 10,000-lux light for at least half an hour a day, preferably in the morning, can help with the symptoms of SAD. Exercise is helpful for any depressive condition. For SAD, aerobic exercise combined with light (eg. jogging outside on a bright afternoon) is particularly good.

If phototherapy and exercise do not give adequate symptom relief, your doctor may prescribe an antidepressant medication.

SAFE IN SOUND— Dubstep super group Destroid (far left) play at the Safe In Sound Festival held at the South Okanagan Events Centre on Oct. 12. Fans crowd the front of the stage during Destroid’s performance.

Doobie Brothers ready to rock the SOEC Dale Boyd

Western News Staff

After 40 years, seven multi-platinum albums and four Grammy Awards the Doobie Brothers are still bringing their signature rock and roll sound to the stage.

The quintessential rock band will be playing the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton on Oct. 27 touring their classic songs and new collaborative album Southbound.

This marks the first time the band has played in Penticton, but according to founding member and frontman Tom Johnston, playing a smaller population centre has little effect on the show.

“I think basically people are people no matter where they live. Once you get inside a show and you’re playing music, if you doing your job right, they start reacting and everything starts working,” said Johnston. “That’s pretty much what playing live has always been about, no matter where it is. People are just as responsive in smaller areas as they are in a large one.”

Performing with different members on and off, the name Doobie Brothers has been alive and well in the hearts and minds of rock fans for nearly half a century. The band has been playing with big names like Boston and Peter Frampton during their summer tour and from Johnston’s perspective rock is still alive and well.

“It’s gratifying. It makes you feel good.

You’re still able to draw in large crowds, and the people want to hear the music or they wouldn’t be there.”

Not only is the music reaching the fans who were alive during the height of the band’s popularity in the 70s and 80s, but a whole new generation is coming out and enjoying the same music and lyrics that remain relevant today.

THE DOOBIE BROTHERS bring their award-winning classic rock sounds to the South Okanagan Events Centre on Oct. 27 markin the band’s first visit to Penticton.

“You see all demographics, you see people in their 30s and 40s and 20s because they’re discovering the music and not through mom and dad like the old days. They’re discovering it through streaming downloading.”

The new album Southbound, out in Nov. 4, will be casting some of the biggest hits from the Doobie Brothers lengthy catalogue of songs in a whole new light, collaborating with almost every big name currently in country music.

“It’s not a tribute album we actually played and sang on it so it’s more of a collaborative album.”

Country musicians including the Zac Brown

Band, Blake Shelton and Toby Keith brought their own style to classic tunes like Blackwater, Listen to the Music and Long Train Running, respectively.

Johnston wasn’t able to be in the studio to see all of the guest stars on the album, but he was able to step in on a few sessions including Blake Shelton’s rendition of Listen to the Music.

“A lot of it was chosen by the artists. It turned out really interesting because we’re singing it, but then they’re singing it. You’ve got the guy that sang it originally singing it all the way through and then you’d get the other

artists to come in and they would sing it all the way through.”

After both artists recorded their rendition, it was up to the production masterminds to blend it all together to make one fresh sound for the classic tracks.

“It was really cool. It worked out really neat. I didn’t know what to think about all this when we first started,” said Johnston “We’re not really considered a country band, but we are an American band and we’ve got roots in all kinds of music, so it worked out really really well. I was very happily surprised.”

The idea was brought to the band by producer David Huff, perhaps best known for drumming in the short-lived 80s rock band Giant.

“We were on the road when it was brought to us and we looked at each other and said ‘well, this should be interesting’.”

Johnston knew the artists brought together for the album were talented, but he was blown away by the dedication they would bring to the booth.

“They all came in and really gave it their best shot. They didn’t just come in and phone it in, they worked, they wanted it to be as good as it could possibly be and I thought that was really great.”

Michael McDonald, who originally joined the band in 1976, and left in 1982, returned to bring his baritone sound to the album, however he won’t be joining the band on tour. It was an easy and unsurprising reunion for Johnston, who usually sees McDonald once or twice a year.

“We just pick up where we left off. It’s always good to see Mike. We all get along and it’s fun hanging around with him.”

Bell honed his skills jamming with prisoners Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

At eight years old, Steve Bell honed his musical skills with notorious Canadian men.

They were not award-winning musicians sought after by promoters. Rather, they were Canada’s most unwanted men. Prisoners in Drumheller and Stony Mountain federal penitentiaries where his father was a chaplain.

“I remember the first time the door to the chapel opened up and the inmates filed in. I was so disappointed how human they looked,” Bell recalled. “Jamming with them probably shaped my view of humanity more than anything else.”

Part of his success in the music industry, that has led to a 25-year solo career, is thanks to several of those inmates who invested in him. The Saturday afternoon jam sessions in those chapels helped him hone his skills as a musician and songwriter.

“These guys were well-worn but very human. They had spouses, children and for whatever reason got caught up in something. I learned that no matter what people are people and each one has a gift. We are all wounded in some way or another and the interactions I had brought this wide scope of humanity into my vision,” said Bell.

Those experiences helped him develop messages of love, hope and faith in his songs, stories and writings. He went on to release 18

albums and earn several accolades and awards, including two Juno’s and three Western Canadian Music Awards. Bell’s recording career began at 13 with his family’s gospel band, the Alf Bell Family Singers. After graduating from high school he was a member of a number of bands playing music ranging from folk to jazz-rock and country. Bell eventually left

the Manitoba folk trio Elias, Schritt & Bell, who toured with the Pointer Sisters, and then formed the Winnipeg-based independent record label Signpost Music.

Celebrating over two decades of music, he is set to release a four-album package called Pilgrimage. The box set includes Pilgrimage, featuring 12 new songs; Unadorned, songs

selected by friends and fans then re-recorded with just vocals and guitar; Good Company songs recorded by his friends; and Landscapes which is 17 previously released songs remixed as instrumental versions.

A relentless touring musician, Bell still has found time to live out those lessons in compassion he learned at an early age. He has worked on behalf of aid organizations such as World Vision, Compassion Canada, the Canadian Foodgrains Bank in advocacy and awareness roles. He also has a close association with the National Roundtable on Homelessness and Poverty and sits on the board of Street Level, a Canadian forum on homelessness designed to support those who serve the poor and disadvantaged.

Bell said he is excited to see what the next 25 years will hold.

“Each record is almost like a photo album, you listen to it and see what happened in your life at that time and it can be definitive of who you are at that point,” said Bell. “I’m at a shift in my life of looking backwards as much as I am looking forwards. I’m very reflective and put value on the things I have done while still adjusting my course into the second-half of my life and music can be very reflective in doing that.”

Bell is on a cross-Canada tour and will be at the Summerland Baptist Church Oct. 18. The concert start at 7 p.m. and admission is $15.

History story at museum meeting Submitted

Did Naramata inspire a national peace monument? That’s the conclusion of amateur Naramata historian Craig Henderson and the topic of a story he will tell at next Sunday’s annual general meeting of the Naramata Heritage Museum.

Henderson came across an autobiography of Rev. George Fallis, best known for his campaign to build the non-denominational Canadian Memorial Chapel in Vancouver.

Fallis, a Methodist minister and military chaplain, had witnessed the horrors of war and singlehandedly led a campaign to successfully raise money for a peace monument.

The chapel is the only place outside of the Peace Tower in Ottawa that the Books of Remembrance are on public display. The volumes contain the

names of all Canadians who made the ultimate sacrifice in war. Henderson believes that the inspiration for fundraising began with Naramata years prior to the war.

“As a young parson, Fallis arrived in Penticton in 1908 and part of his charge was Naramata. Town founder John Moore Robinson encouraged Fallis to embark on a national fundraising tour to build a village church, soliciting funds from people who had purchased Naramata land but had not yet moved.

Kettle Valley Railway chief engineer Andrew McCulloch, one of Fallis’ Penticton parishioners, arranged for a CPR train pass for the mission, according to the autobiography,” said Henderson who will tell more details of the story after the general meeting.

The meeting on Oct. 19 is open to the public and starts at 2 p.m. at the Naramata OAP Hall.

Ian Parker joins OK orchestra for start of season Dale Boyd

Western News Staff

The Okanagan Symphony Orchestra (OSO) is starting up its season heading in to its 55th year providing the Okanagan area with classical sights and sounds.

The first performance will open up the season with “Rhapsody”, part of the Deloitte masterworks series, on Oct. 17 in Kelowna, Oct. 18 in Penticton and in Vernon on Oct. 19.

Famed Canadian pianist Ian Parker will be the first guest performer this season, bringing his eclectic presence to the Cleland theatre in Penticton.

“He’s a great performer full of incredible technique, a very virtuosic performer, but he also really has lots of personality,

he’s charming, fun and very gregarious on stage,” said Rosemary Thompson, music director and conductor for the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra.

Vancouver-born Parker has been playing piano since age three and has played with orchestras across the globe including Israel and Western Europe Thompson has shared the stage with the charismatic Parker in the past and is looking forward to doing so once again.

“I have worked with Ian before, he’s been a good friend and a joy to share the stage with,” Thompson said.

Traditionally, a guest artist will perform one concerto, wherein one instrument is featured prominently with the orchestra playing accompaniment, however for this performance Parker will be playing two.

The two pieces are both by American composer and pianist George Gershwin.

The night will be capped off with Parker performing one of Gershwin’s better known pieces in Rhapsody in Blue, but he will be starting things off with the lesser known Concerto in F Major.

“It’s not done nearly as often as Rhapsody in Blue. It’s full of jazzy rhythms and soulful melodies and lots of pianistic fireworks,”said Thompson.

Upcoming special guests this season include renowned chamber choir music intima on Nov. 14 in Penticton and a performance of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Nights Dream featuring actor Maureen Thomas and the music of Felix Mendelssohn on Feb. 14.

Books tune in to love for piano

Heather Allen 100-Mile Book Club

If I were writing music to suit the seasons, I would use trumpets for spring, guitar for summer, and bells for the winter.

For fall, my choice would always be the piano. This may stem from childhood memories of sitting by the fire with the sound of Glenn Gould’s Goldberg Variations playing on the stereo, or my mom picking away at a new ragtime tune on our piano.

As much as I love listening to piano music, and tinkering away at the keyboard, I know next to nothing about how a piano actually works.

“Piano players don’t generally know about their instruments as well as other musicians,”

said Andrew Wedman, a piano technician from Naramata. “Guitar players can replace their own strings. Others make their own reeds. But piano players — they’ve been told not to touch, and are even frightened to open the lid.”

To address this imbalance, Wedman, an accomplished piano technician for many celebrated musicians and experimental music artist, is offering a unique workshop later this month to explain the inner mechanisms, history and intrigue of the piano.

For me, part of understanding anything, even pianos, includes reading. One of my favourite books about the piano is the heartwarming The Piano Shop on the Left Bank by Thad Carhart. An American ex-pat discovers a small piano atelier in Paris.

Entering the shop rekindles a childhood love of the piano and awakens new fascination for the instrument. True to French form, Carhart isn’t allowed to buy one of the pianos until he

has proved himself to be a worthy owner. He steps up the challenge.

One of Wedman’s favourite piano books, A Romance on Three Legs: Glenn Gould’s Obsessive Quest for the Perfect Piano, naturally explores how much a player relies on his technician, in this case a nearly blind tuner, to reach musical perfection.

Many good reads feature pianos. Reader favorites include: The Piano Tuner by Daniel

Hair Spray

Mason, which tells of a Victorian-era piano tuner who travels from London to Burma to tune a rare piano; The Piano Teacher by Elfriede Jelinek (not to be confused with The Piano Teacher by Janice Lee), and even Jane Campion’s The Piano, the film screenplay made into a novel by Campion and Canadian writer, Kate Pullinger.

Wedman’s workshop takes place on Oct. 25, 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Leir House, and

Shampoo

costs $20 per person.

For more information, or to register, please contact the Penticton Academy of Music www.pentictonacademyofmusic.ca. To read more about Wedman or to listen to excerpts of his music, including shows in Berlin and Toronto on his experimental bass piano, visit his website wedmanpianotech.com.

There will be four masterworks performances in Penticton throughout the season along with sets featuring the Okanagan Symphony Youth Orchestra as well as shows in local schools.

“We’re just really excited to get started,” said Thompson.

The season opener starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Cleland Theatre. At 6:30 p.m. Thompson will be putting on a pre-concert seminar for those interested in finding out more about the music. Anyone with a ticket can join in on the educational session and the cost is included in the admission price. Tickets for the Penticton performances are available by phone at 250-276-2170 or online at www.kelownaactorsstudio.com/symphony.

“I think the orchestra is for everybody. If someone has not heard the orchestra before this is a great concert to come and check it out because the music is really powerful and acceptable and lots of fun,” Thompson said.

Every day millions of women slap on body moisturizer, apply lipstick or mascara without a second thought about what they are putting on their skin. A study from the UK claims that the average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day during her beauty routine.

Why should you be concerned?

A15

Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preservative in everything from toothpaste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fragranced” beauty products such as lotions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens creating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate cancer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS.

Xeno-Detox Every Day

EstroSense is a comprehensive liver detoxifier that gently supports the elimination of harmful environmental toxins and helps to bring back hormone synergy. Along with other key ingredients, EstroSense contains milk thistle which is one of the most researched herbs when it comes to liver detoxification and liver cell regeneration. Curcumin, indole-3-carbinol, sulforaphane, calcium-d-glucarate, green tea extract, lycopene and rosemary extract are all very effective for supporting healthy hormone balance.

So starting now, read labels and stay informed, check out The Environmental Working Group website www. ewg.org as well as Campaign for Safe Cosmetics www. safecosmetics.org for more information about how you can protect yourself.

With 17 years as a realtor in Penticton, he explained, he is now well-established and successful, he has the time to dedicate to council. Grattpm said he and his wife chose the city to buy their first house because it met their search criteria of clean, green and safe place to raise our family. “I like the idea of smart development,” said Gratton, explaining that has to be tem-

Flame ceremony sheds light on veterans Dale Boyd

Western News Staff

Without their sacrifices many of us would not be here today.

That’s the message the Royal Canadian Legion is passing on with the annual Passing the Flame ceremony held at the Okanagan Falls Memorial Cemetery on Oct. 18 at 11 a.m. The cemetery, located on Maple Street and 14 Avenue, will feature candles on the graves of veterans. Legion members will join local children in lighting a candle and transferring the flame to the candles on the veterans’ grave.

Summerland woman arrested at Kelowna grow-op

The ceremony hopes to instill the memory of who Canadian veterans are and what they stand for in today’s youth according to Barbara Few, who is the publicity officer for branch 227 of the Royal Canadian Legion in Okanagan Falls.

“It’s a little ceremony, very short,” Few said. “The Legion member passes the light to the child who lights the candle on the grave.”

The short but sweet ceremony is taking place later in the year than usual, but still holds the same message and symbolism.

“It’s called passing the flame so Joe Fries

A 32-year-old Summerland woman was arrested last week at an alleged marijuana grow-op in Kelowna.

RCMP said in a press release the woman was discovered Oct. 7 inside a home on Kloppenburg Road where 721 marijuana plants were seized, along with cash, dried marijuana and paraphernalia.

they will remember who or what the veterans are,” Few said.

The legion is looking for any children interested in learning a little more about our veterans and taking part in the ceremony. The Legion has already contacted local groups including schools, the boy scouts and brownies, but anyone is invited to join in.

“It’s open to everybody and afterwards everyone is invited back to the Legion for a snack.”

There will also be a dinner put on for veterans after the ceremony at the local Legion branch. For more information contact Barbara Few at 250-497-6224.

The woman was released on a promise to appear and faces possible charges of production of a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking. RCMP took down an alleged grow-op at a neighbouring house on Sept. 26 and seized 471 marijuana plants.

It was during that first bust, according to the release, that the second home where the Summerland woman was arrested came to the attention of police.

Rivals set to meet Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

There was no rest for the Penticton Vees on Thanksgiving Monday with a tilt with the rival Vernon Vipers approaching.

“They made us work that turkey off,” said Vees assistant captain Steen Cooper. “It was a good week of practice that’s for sure.”

Taking on the Vipers at Kal Tire Place in Vernon, the Vees are putting their five-game winning streak on the line, while the Vipers have won their last three.

The returning Vees have motivation going into Friday’s tilt with last year’s Game 7 playoff loss is still fresh.

“For the guys returning they remember it,” said Cooper. “The new guys know about it and they know about how us and Vernon are huge rivals. There is still a little bit of a bitterness between the two teams.

We can’t wait to get out there and restore this rivalry.”

Cooper said the Vees to pick up a win, they need to stick to their style of play.

As soon as they get away from that, things go wrong. Cooper added it’s a matter of keeping things simple. One thing he likes in the Vees current role is the chemistry.

“I think we have really gelled as team. I think we are playing more of a team game,” said Cooper. “Every line is coming together.”

For Demico Hannoun, it’s his first trip back to Vernon since being traded by the Vipers during the

off-season. Hannoun, who recently switched his number from 48 to 21, said it’s going to be a good test.

“They are a pretty physical team.

We can’t let them push us around,” said Hannoun, whose favourite player growing up is retired NHLer Peter Forsberg, who also wore 21. “We have to take it to them. Get pucks deep.

Cycle it.”

The Vipers are second in the Interior Division, five points behind the Vees. Vipers coach Mark Ferner knows what to expect from the Vees after watching them pick apart West Kelowna and said they are solid defensively and have some dynamic rookies.

“We’ll be making sure our compete level is there for the weekend. There’s too much swinging away from the puck for my liking,” Ferner told the Vernon Morning Star. “Guys are sniffing offensively and they think if they get a point, it makes them a good hockey player. I told them after Friday’s game that winning is like deodorant; it just covers up the stink.”

On Saturday, the Vees return to the South Okanagan Events Centre to host the Victoria Grizzlies at 6 p.m.

Cooper said they are usually a quick squad and one of the better teams in the BCHL so it should make for an exciting game. Victoria sits third in the Island Division with a 4-3-0-1 record.

Their leading scorer is Garrett Forster and Brett Gruber with four goals each, while Dane Gibson leading the team in points with 10.

Successful ride for club Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

SPEED TO BURN — Mark Andrews of Uplands Elementary School turns on the juice at the end of the course in the Grade 5 boys event of the Naramata Cross Country Run ahead of runner up Noah Russill of Giant’s Head Elementary School (background). The annual event attracts hundreds of competitors from elementary schools throughout District 67.

Penticton BMX riders enjoyed a successful season because their skills improved on the track.

With races on Sunday and Thursday, riders were also at the Lion’s Park track on Mondays for practice.

On average, 12 riders hit the track to work on their skills, but they also enjoyed being with their friends.

Club president Andrew Bayston said riders such as Marquez Gonzalez and Nash Bayston did so well they moved up levels.

The club will be represented at nationals in Chilliwack in two weeks by Marquez

Gonzalez, Jeff Babuin, Josh Holland and Paige Haamers. Others are eligible to compete but have yet to decide.

While the club celebrated its season with a wrap up party on Sept.

20, they competed one last time on Oct. 9.

Along with success on the track, the club saw membership growth doubling from 65-70. Those numbers left Bayston very happy, especially with having more younger riders, including seven in the strider group, non-pedal bikes, for kids aged two to four.

“It was great to get the really young ones out,” said Bayston.

“We had great family support.”

Bayston said the

growth in numbers is a huge step for the club as they decided to place focus on that while putting plans for track relocation on the back burner.

Helping the numbers rise was being in the Penticton Recreation guide, as well as putting out flyers and parents putting out the word to join the club.

In other club news, Zane McLean who turned four during the summer, received money for his birthday and donated $280 towards the club.

Their annual general meeting is Oct. 24 at 6 p.m. at Dogtown Cafe. The club will be electing new board members and seeking parent volunteers.

Summer motivation From the slot with Riley Alferd

PENTICTON VEES Riley Alferd has scored five goals in nine BCHL games this season. He’s eager to face the Vernon Vipers tonight in the first matchup between the two teams.

Emanuel Sequeira/Western News

The only store you need for hockey!

Rivalries always make for exciting and fascinating games. The Vernon Vipers and Penticton Vees rivalry has gone on for many years, as most hardcore BCHL fans would know.

Today marks the first face off between us since we (Penticton), lost to the Vipers last March in the Interior Division finals. As a player, nothing stings more than an overtime loss, let alone a Game 7 overtime loss. The moment that puck crossed the goal line, I lost all feeling in my body and my heart sank to the floor on the bench.

Momentum had been on our side until that point and I believed we would pull through and punch our ticket to the next round. Unfortunately, the season was over, but what I was going to miss more than anything was the friendships I had made throughout the whole year with my teammates. Although there was a good amount of us returning for another year, it’s tough to see guys move on and know that next time your paths cross you will be on opposite sides fighting for the same thing.

Losing games like that drives players like myself, and the rest of our returning group to work and train that much harder during the summer. All of us left Penticton to return home for the summer with a bit of piss and vinegar in us. Suddenly every summer workout had more meaning. Bitterness haunted me all summer and I couldn’t wait to get back on the ice for a new chapter of my career in Penticton. A chapter that hopefully with hard work will end differently. So far we’ve had a good start to our season. Tonight has more meaning to myself and the eight other returnees. I know myself and everyone else suiting up to join me are looking forward to tonight. Best rivalry in the BCHL. Riley Alferd Penticton Vees #91

Penticton Minor Hockey product Tyson Klingspohn was recognized by the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League under its Who’s Hot in the KI? Klingspohn, in his third season with the Kimberley Dynamiters, racked up five goals and added an Tyson Klingspohn assist against Kelowna then added another two goals and an assist against Beaver Valley.

Klingspohn’s coach, Jerry Bancks, said he had an amazing weekend. “His best thus far with more to come as he is a tremendous person and player,” said Bancks. “Tyson plays well in both ends of the rink and has played many great games without the point production so it was nice to see him rewarded with the goal explosion.” Klingspohn currently sits in 13th among the KIJHL’s top 20 scorers with nine goals and 15 points in 10 games.

Rigby becomes a Bronco

Penticton’s Carter Rigby was dealt by the Kelowna Rockets in the Western Hockey League to the Swift Current Broncos. Rigby was moved for a third round WHL bantam draft pick in 2016. The move was made since the Rockets were one over the league’s 20-yearold limit of three. On the Rockets website, Rockets president and general manager Bruce Hamilton said it’s a big loss for the organization to lose Rigby.

Coyotes cruising with strong depth Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Not even in their championship season did the Osoyoos Coyotes start with 10 straight wins.

That year coach Ken Law and the Coyotes enjoyed an 8-0-1-1 start and won 42 of 50 games en route to winning the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League title.

After winning their 10th straight game on Oct. 4, the Coyotes start came to a halt Oct. 10 following a 4-3 loss to the Sicamous Eagles at the Osoyoos Sun Bowl. They lost their second straight 3-2 to the Chase Heat on Oct. 11. Even in the two losses, Law said they “probably controlled the games, just didn’t get the results.” Against the Eagles, the Coyotes were tied at two then surrendered two shorthanded goals late in the third period.

“We knew were weren’t going to go undefeated throughout the season,” said Law, adding they will try to get another winning streak going.

While it was disappointing for the streak to end, Law said it wasn’t a big focus.

“They were always pretty humble. They knew they had to play at the top of their game,” said Law. The KIJHL doesn’t have any statistical facts to determine the longest winning streaks, but the Cranbrook Colts in 1974-75 have the highest winning percentage of 94.11 when they won 32 of 34 games. Four years later, the Trail Junior Smoke Eaters won 37 of 40 games. In the Coyotes’ championship season they won 42 of 50 games.

The losing skid was shortlived as the Coyotes earned a convincing 6-2 road win against the Summerland Steam on Monday.

KIJHL president Bill Ohlhausen said the start the Coyotes are having is fantastic.

“It’s always great when a team comes out of the blocks like that,” said Ohlhausen, who plans to see the Coyotes in regular season action for the first time three weeks from now.

Law said the team is doing well because he can roll four lines, which he feels hurts opposing teams that are unable to do the same.

Leading the Coyotes in goals is Penticton’s Jackson DeMatos with nine in six games. Behind DeMatos is Colten Braid with eight goals in 13 games, while Rainer Glimpel sat atop the league scoring lead with seven goals and 22 points in 13 games.

The Coyotes have five players among the top 20 scoring leaders. In goal, Penticton’s Lawrence Langan has won nine of 10 games, while Brandon Locket is 1-1.

Law said he doesn’t think his championship team was as deep as this group, but had veteran players such as Thierry Martin, who potted 45 goals in 50 games, while Stefan Jensen had 46.

“We have a younger team this year,” said Law, who has 11 rookies in his lineup. “I think we have as strong if not a stronger team. I think that our consistency will be more than what we had the first year.”

Langan, who won 18 regular and nine playoff games as a rookie last season, has been steady. He has the sixth best goals against average at 2.46, but leads with nine wins and cracks the top 10 with a .916 save percentage.

“If he can see the puck he will stop it,” said Law. “He doesn’t give out a lot of rebounds. He’s one of those guys that wants to win.”

On Thursday, Langan joined the BCHL’s Merritt Centennials and will stay with them for the weekend as an affiliate player.

The Coyotes, who have averaged 280 fans per home game, host the Princeton Posse, Oct. 19 at the Oliver Arena at 1:35 p.m.

Cherry Park Retirement Residence recently opened up a whole new world to its residents.

Located at 317 Winnipeg St., the complex just celebrated it’s grand re-opening following renovations which have significantly improved the lives of the 70 people who call Cherry Park home.

“The feedback from the residents and families is just ecstatic,” said residence executive director Joanne Gardner who oversees a staff of 12. “We’ve always had the camaraderie because the residents are fantastic and help each other, now they’ve got a brighter space to live and work in. There is a difference, just on their faces on their attitude.

It’s impossible to put a value on the quality of life.”

In addition to the ongoing work which began about three years ago to completely renovate each of the private units, some major changes were made on

private functions.

Gardiner pointed out the sprinklers in each of the rooms makes the concrete and steel structure one of the safest of its kind in the city.

“I think the important thing about the work is that residents have their apartments and that’s

private, that’s home,” said Gardner. “What they were lacking was that social aspect and now the can come downstairs almost any time of the day or night and there’s somebody to talk to.

“And the staff enjoy it too.”

The GMC Canyon has a starting MSRP of $20,600 (both exclude a destination charge of $1,695).

the case with the rest of the crew that updated over 2,000 parts on this latest sedan. The car is Toyota’s cornerstone in the United States, thanks in part to the association the brand and the car has with the immensely popular NASCAR series and the long reputation it has for reliability and value. It is the most popular passenger car in North America and number one in the United States. However, that is not the case in Canada, where it lies third in the Toyota lineup behind the Corolla and RAV4.

The 2015 Toyota Camry has all-new sheet metal, providing a sleeker and more eye-catching design.

The wheelbase remains the same length but the track, side-to-side has been widened for more stability. The overall length is only slightly longer, in the nose, to help achieve the more polished look.

The interesting thing is this new more youthful design actually makes the car look smaller, mostly due to the less slab-sided look used in the previous car and the tightly wrapped lines and shapes. This is now a very nice looking car but from about fifty paces the new Camry looks very similar to the new Corolla, which was refreshed last year and is selling very well. There is a new trim level in the Camry lineup, the XSE, sportier looking trim that enabled Toyota to lower the price of the, still sporty, SE trim by $2,000 to $24,990. In addition the SE trim has been added to the hybrid model, enabling buyers of that efficient car to also enjoy a more distinctive design.

Inside, the refresh focuses more on ease of use and refined materials. The top of the dash is the only carry-over part, which is still a soft touch material with French stitching. What has been added is faux suede on the doors with the ability to get two-tone seats in the Camry, also with faux suede, but the updated seats are only in the new XSE trim. The centre stack now has bigger buttons and rotary dials for ease of use, a welcome update for older buyers. To appeal to younger intenders, the Camry has the latest connectivity and on the top XLE models a wireless charging system in the centre cubby but the phone either needs a special sleeve or integrated

wireless charging technology. Plus, there is a new screen between the speedo and tachometer for a quick reference of the radio, navigation or phone calls. These are all welcome updates but the major competitor for this car is the Honda Accord and the interior on that car is much more upscale and technologically advanced, with two screens and a higher end feel.

Not just happy to make a more appealing looking car, the engineers also went about improving the ride, handling and noise inside the car. The track of the wheels has been widened and the lower end models also get wider wheels for improved feedback but the biggest change is to the steering feel. The Camry is equipped with electric power steering and these systems have been notorious for poor feedback to the driver. This new 2015 Camry is a big step foreword.

Straight-line stability has been improved and the car, with a more rigid platform and slightly stiffer springs and shocks, is now sending good feedback to the driver.

To highlight this, a stock off-the-showroom 2015 Camry, with regular tires was used at the Charlotte Motor Speedway for hot laps. With a pro NASCAR driver at the wheel, this new sedan easily navigated around the oval at speeds over 200 km/h. No fuss, no problem. Not something anyone in a road-going Camry will experience but a good demonstration.

What haven’t been updated are the engine and transmission choices. The same 178hp 2.5L 4-cylinder with a 6-speed automatic does duty along with an optional 3.5L V6 putting out 268hp.

Yes, this is known equipment and these engines have a proven record but with Honda and other providing direct injection engines and new slick transmissions, it might be safe to go with “tried and true” but at some point these engines will require upgrades or replacements.

As it stands, this is much more than a regular mid-cycle facelift. The 2015 Camry looks much better, drives with more confidence and has a pleasant interior. With the help of NASCAR, the Camry will remain a North American staple, this time with a lot more style. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Q70 in a New York state of shine

By Rob Rothwell

Infiniti’s Q70L 4-door flagship is the only long wheelbase sedan in its segment, making it a less expensive alternative for budget-driven CEOs. Submitted Photo

Avant garde, the SoHo District of New York City on the densely populated island of Manhattan is home to a culture of creativity, artistry, and some of the best highend shopping in the world.

SoHo is an ideal locale for the launch of a flagship vehicle from a premium automaker that aspires to many of the same ideals as those driving the district’s renaissance.

[ACTION]

ing to improve refinement and road characteristics while also exhibiting a striking design refortified end to end. Perhaps most noteworthy for 2015 is the availability of a segment-exclusive long wheelbase version denoted by an “L” affixed to the Q70’s badging.

With an additional 150 mm of stretch inserted into its rear seating area, the Q70L’s leather-lined cabin supplies limo-like legroom to its rear-seat luminary, and is the only sedan within its segment to offer expanded real estate. While a CEO may feel at home in the rear quarters of the Q70L, family buyers are bound to enjoy the stretch as well.

Despite benefits of a lengthened cabin, the standard Q70 is expected to lead sales. And based on my day of driving both examples through the lush beauty of historic New Jersey, it was the regular-length car that delivered a perfect balance between sportiness and luxury.

And aghast I should say this, but the V6 engine in the Q70 Sport was my power plant of preference unless finding myself in the passing lane with tarmac running short. Left of the centre-line is where eight cylinders effortlessly outmatches six. Otherwise, the V6 is an exceptionally refined power plant, which pierced the bubble of contempt I harbour for V6 engines of less polish.

Displacing 3.7 litres, the DOHC V6 engine develops 330 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque. It’s rated under the government’s revised standards at 13.2L/100km city and 9.6L/100km highway. Infiniti’s liquid-smooth 5.6L V8 engine jacks performance considerably with the production of 416 horsepower and 414 lb.-ft. of torque, however, economy slips to 15L/100km city and 10.2L/100km highway.

Both engines are mated to Infiniti’s seven-speed automatic transmission combined with all-wheeldrive (AWD), which is a Canada-only conformity.

I’m a proponent of AWD, so this limitation gets traction with me.

Final in the power triad is a hybrid arrangement utilizing a 3.5L V6 engine combined with a 50 kW electric motor.

Total available output is pegged at 360 horsepower – directed exclusively to the

rear wheels. I didn’t have an opportunity to drive the Q70 Hybrid, which is rated at a thrifty 8.0L/100km city and 6.9L/100km highway.

Beautifully stitched leather and genuine Japanese Ash appliques greet the senses as one settles into the Q70’s driver’s seat. From the days of the storied Q45 sedan introduced in 1990 to today’s Q70 flagship, Infiniti cabins have always been top contenders in both quality and engineering.

Infiniti emphasizes user-friendliness in the functionality of its technology. Yet there’s more tech here than ever before, and it’s largely designed to prevent collisions and protect occupants. Infiniti’s Safety Shield is the constellation of these programs. Highlighted among them is predictive forward collision warning paired with intelligent brake assist.

With a few quick seat and mirror adjustments, I was hurled into the thick of Manhattan traffic headed to the Holland Tunnel, which carries vehicles under the Hudson River on which Captain ‘Sully” Sullenberger safely landed his Airbus A320 after losing both engines due to multiple bird strikes. Far less stressful for me was the challenge of coping with Manhattan’s congested roads, which was made remarkably manageable by the Q70’s quiet cabin and its ability to blunt the incessant horn honking that is NYC. Main takeaways from our New Jersey jaunt and return to New York via Bear Mountain State Park focus on the Q70’s underpinnings.

The retuned suspension exploits the sweet spot between comfort and handling characteristics without generating suspension noise. In fact, the entire chassis feels unified and composed while delivering lively, engaging handling dynamics. Particularly worthy of praise is the Q70’s retuned steering, which delivers bright, clear messaging from street level.

The 2015 Infiniti Q70 and Q70L truly deserve the Big Apple’s spotlight. Though pricing has yet to be finalized for the Canadian market, expect it to be highly competitive, especially when Infiniti’s Safety Shield technology and the use of all-wheel-drive are factored into the mix. rgrothwell@telus.net
