NEIGHBOURHOOD UP IN SIGNS Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Harvest season may be over, but a north Penticton neighbourhood has a fine bumper crop of new protest signs.

Walking around the 700 blocks of Churchill and Alexander Avenues, the signs are easy to spot, with one or two in each yard protesting the proposed subdivision of a lot and the construction of a duplex on each of the new lots.

The developer, Bruce Schoenne of Schoenne Homes, said he had put up his own

signs on the lot he plans to develop at 701 Churchill Ave., though they appeared to be missing on Wednesday. His advised passersby that duplexes are allowed and suggested that his project would allow new residents to get into the neighbourhood at an affordable price.

It all comes to a head on Nov. 3, when a public hearing for Schoenne’s proposal is scheduled to take place in city council chambers.

Bernie Bathgate is one of the chief organizers of the protest. He and a contingent of his neighbours will be at the public hearing

Nov. 3 to let council know about their concerns directly and deliver a petition with, according to Bathgate, about 100 signatures.

These are just the immediate neighbours, Bathgate said, adding they didn’t take the petition anywhere else.

“It vastly alters the character of the neighbourhood,” said Bathgate, who is concerned that the modern design of the duplexes will be a harsh contrast to the smaller, older-style homes in the area.

“It creates two lots that are 15 per cent below the minimum standard lot,” said Bathgate, adding that he feels the Official Com-

munity Plan advises preserving the character of neighbourhoods like theirs.

“We are just feeling like it deserves protecting,” said Bathgate. “Nobody here is against development. It’s just this doesn’t fit the character at all, it’s just gone too deep.”

Schoenne said he is just trying to make the best use of the property he can, and create homes that can sell for an affordable price.

He doesn’t feel the subdivided lots will be too small. Rather, he said it is an efficient use of the available land, increasing density rather than creating more sprawl.

Candidates answer back Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

At the best of times, it is difficult to pick a winner, or winners, for an all candidates forum.

But with 23 candidates on stage, each answering a different question — a total of 75 — it becomes near impossible to compare and contrast their opinions and stands on issues of the day.

That was the case for an all-candidates forum in Penticton Tuesday evening, with nearly 500 people turning out to the Lakeside resort.

After a two-minute introduction from each — taking an hour to go through all candidates — the candidates faced three rounds of questions, either submitted specifically for them or drawn at random.

But through all the variety, some themes did emerge: downtown revitalization was a popular topic, as were economic investment zones and transit.

Another theme was asking incumbent candidates — Couns. Katie Robinson, Judy Sentes and Helena Konanz — to justify their past performance or that of council.

Robinson was singled out for her now infamous “head-banging druggie” comment about the Boonstock Music Festival, which she again apologized

Along with fellow CAndidAtes Kevin noonan (left) and Katie Robinson (right), Max Picton was one of 23 candidates crowded onto the stage at the lakeside Resort for the all candidates forum tuesday.

for, saying it was not befitting her position as councillor to have made such a comment, and offering as an explanation that it had come at the end of a long, stressful weekend.

The hockey dorm scandal was another issued that reared its head more than once, with Sentes and Konanz being asked to justify council’s decisions, which have led to the city being taken to court over the $1.1 million in liens against the properties.

“In hindsight, wouldn’t we all be clever,” said Sentes.

“Sometimes you have to take the risk. Given the information of that day, that was the right thing to do.”

Downtown revitalization was another big

topic, specifically regarding the two-laning of Main Street and the implementation of a 30 km/h speed limit through most of downtown.

David Korinetz said he was in favour of the 30 km/h zone but suggested an alternative to two-laning the road, which currently has three driving lanes and two curb-side parking lanes. He would rather see angled parking implemented along one side of the Main, which he said would increase available parking by 50 per cent.

“If we can increase the parking, that might be worth giving up that extra lane,” said Korinetz. “Most of the people I talk to don’t come downtown because they can’t find parking.”

Candidate Brent Madsen, general manager of the Elite restaurant, supported twolaning Main Street and had a different take on its value to downtown businesses.

“What other city has three lanes. As a small business owner, why would you not want the traffic to slow down going past your business anyway,” said Madsen. “It might consume people a little bit at first, but that might also slow them down.”

Campbell Watt, who is on leave from his position as president of the Downtown Penticton Association, defended the overall concept of the downtown revitalization plan, which his questioner suggested was being “crammed down everyone’s throats.”

“The plan is solid.

It was welcomed with open arms. There are some business owners that didn’t necessarily want it, but the majority do,” said Watt. “The downtown core is really essential to any city’s development and we need to be vibrant and that revitalization is a key component to that.”

Though it was referenced in many questions and answers, there were few questions about the city’s dispute with the Penticton Hospitality Association, which ended in a B.C. Supreme Court battle. Max Picton, as both an accommodator and chair of Tourism Penticton, was asked if the city’s actions were appropriate.

“I don’t believe that the city should be launching legal action against any of its citizens or the organizations within,” said Picton, adding that is why he made working for a united Penticton part of his campaign.

“We have made leaps and bounds with the PHA since this (the judge resolving the lawsuit in favour of the PHA). We are working with them … we are on the right path,” said Picton.

This is the first of several forums planned for the candidates.

Arrest injuries count at sentencing Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Injuries suffered at the hands of an RCMP officer during his arrest near Oliver may have helped keep a man out of jail.

Anthony Chester Bryant, 55, was sentenced Thursday in provincial court in Penticton to $2,500 in fines and a one-year driving prohibition after being convicted in September of having control of a vehicle while impaired, obstructing a police officer, failing to stop for police, and refusing to provide a breath sample.

In his reasons for sentence, Judge Greg Koturbash said he considered the injuries Bryant suffered to his face and wrist during his arrest on June 11, 2012, to be mitigating factors.

The Crown had asked for up to 21 days in jail, plus the fines and driving prohibition.

Bryant was arrested at gunpoint by RCMP Const.

Ian McNeil while behind the wheel of a truck that was the subject of two impaired driving complaints.

In their testimony at trial, both McNeil and Bryant agreed Bryant reached under the dash to shut off the truck, since the vehicle’s ignition system didn’t work, but they disagreed about what happened next.

McNeil said he feared Bryant was reaching for a weapon, so he opened the truck door and threw Bryant to the ground. Bryant, however, said the officer punched him in the head and then threw him to the ground and kicked him several times.

Koturbash dismissed Bryant’s testimony as “selfserving.”

Churchill residents protest duplex development from Signs - Page 1

The alternative to subdividing, Schoenne explained, would be to build a duplex spanning the lot.

“I can put suites in so I have four units.

If I subdivide, I have four units. So the density doesn’t change,” said Schoenne, adding that such a building would be more imposing than the two-storey homes he is planning.

“If we imagine something that big and put a pitched roof on it, we now have a monstrosity in the neighbourhood.”

The cost to purchase would be higher,

as well, with each side of the duplex selling in the range of $700,000 rather than the $400,000 he expects for the units in his plans.

They won’t be long in selling, either.

Brian Cutler, a local real estate agent, calls it the most desirable area of Penticton.

“You can’t stress enough how many people want to get into this area,” said Cutler. “I call it the Kitsilano of Penticton.”

“I believe this is a better solution, given the makeup of the neighbourhood, than an alternative, which is a massive building,” said Schoenne, who notes that he lives

nearby on Lakeshore Drive.

“I don’t want to do that to the neighbourhood. I walk by here all the tim,” he said. “It is just as important to me, this neighbourhood, as it is to the people that live around here.”

Bathgate said the neighbourhood is planning to do everything they can to let council know about opposition to the project.

“Really we want to indicate that better than 90 per cent of the immediate neighbours are up in arms about the whole thing,” he said.

RogeR ReiChenbACh is one of the neighbours opposed to the subdividing a lot on Churchill Avenue.

Public meets trustee candidates Dale Boyd

Western News Staff

With clock ticking down to election day, the race for seats on the Okanagan Skaha School Board is drawing to a close.

The public had a chance to ask the six candidates their questions in an open forum format on Oct. 20 at the Community Hall of St. Saviour’s Anglican Church.

The first question asked of the candidates regarded B.C.’s lowest per-student funding ratio in Canada, and what actions the candidates would take to increase government funding.

“I’m aware B.C. has the lowest funding in the country, we also have one of the highest scoring school systems as well,” said newcom-

Teresa HeberT, one of six candidates for Penticton’s four trustee positions on the Okanagan School District school board, steps forward to address the audience at a special forum for school board candidates Wednesday evening at St. Saviour’s church hall.

er to school board elections, Keith MacIntyre.

MacIntyre said his fluency in professional communication, and connections he has made with multiple

government offices, will help ease the process of acquiring more funding.

“The biggest message I’m going to try and push to everybody

on both sides is that we have five years to start collaborating and collaborating is going to get more funding for everyone,” MacIntyre said.

The other five candidates echoed the sentiment that it’s never easy to acquire funding with education and health care budgets both in dire need of financial support, and that resolutions need to be made with both school boards and the government to move forward.

“A lot of times you feel like you’re beating a drum that’s never heard,” said candidate Shelley Clarke.

Clarke also said that the school board can help by focusing on local initiatives within the school district to save money.

All of the candidates agreed that lobbying the government was going to be a key component of their strategy if elected.

“Most of the major decisions in deal-

ing with education are made in Victoria, so I think it is a responsibility that we have as a board to lobby that group,” said candidate and former principal Bill Bidlake.

Another question asked of the candidates was how they plan to repair the relationship between the school board trustees and teachers.

“During the strike it was very frustrating to be a member of the school board,” said candidate Bruce Johnson, past chair of the school board.

“It was a long, difficult time and I appreciate that a lot of teachers are still upset,” Johnson said. and Newcomer, the youngest candidate vying for a spot on the school board, Barb Sheppard said

that communicating through issues is one of her strengths gained through her work with many non-profit organizations in the area.

“There’s conflict, budget issues and communication is everything. I think our role as a team is to be out there representing our schools, being at our schools and listening.

It will take some time to rebuild that relationship,” Sheppard said.

Another issue raised pertained to issues involving funding and attention for gifted students.

In a school district candidate Teresa Hebert worked in previously, funding for gifted students was cut.

She said it’s hard to find a balance when engaging gifted students who feel they either have to work harder, or remain unchallenged.

“I think there are some real challenges in addressing the needs of gifted students. One of the things we need to do is rethink how we think of them,” Hebert said.

Hebert said the term “gifted” should be reconsidered, having a negative connotation of being handed something.

Okanagan Monarchs head South for the winter This summer we had the opportunity to study the monarch butterfly and its larval host plant Showy Milkweed in the South Okanagan and Similkameen valleys. Monarchs regularly show up in our area but have not been common since the early 1990s. Monarchs cannot survive the cold winter temperatures in Canada, and all but a few southern parts of the United States. In North America east of the Rocky Mountains monarchs from as far north as southern Canada overwinter in high volcanic mountains southwest of Mexico City. Conventional wisdom held that our Western monarchs spent the winter at sites along the California coast.

But in fact we can’t be sure if our monarchs this fall will end up in Mexico or California.

Whatever their destination, this is a formidable undertaking for a small creature that must deal with controlling its energy supply by nectaring to

BRANCH MANAGER CORRINE ROSS of the South Okanagan-Similkameen SPCA spends a moment with Chucky following her return from a checkup after her right rear leg had to be amputated. Foster and permanent homes are currently being sought, as are donations to help defray medical costs related to the surgery which was performed at no charge by a West Kelowna vet.

Feisty kitty a survivor Mark Brett

Western News Staff

Barely out of kitten-hood, Chucky has already used up many of her nine lives.

Believed to have been thrown from a second floor window in Osoyoos, the calico-coloured tabby suffered a fractured pelvis and, although not determined initially, a badly fractured femur.

“It was strange because she never really showed any pain and she wasn’t obviously limping but when we re-X-rayed the leg we found the femur was already broken and it had actually snapped off so we had no option but to do an amputation to save her from all the pain,” said branch manager Corrine Ross, of the South OkanaganSimilkameen SPCA. “She spent last weekend at the vet and she went for a checkup Wednesday and she’s doing really well, and just as lively as ever.

“Chucky is such a brave girl.

I can only imagine what she suf-

fered before coming into our care, but I’d say she’s ready to embark on a tri-pawed life without looking back.”

Ross added that as soon as it was determined the feisty feline could still have a very good quality of life, euthanizing her was not a consideration.

While the costs of her care and medication are still in the hundreds of dollars, and the SPCA is appealing for donations to help, the surgery to remove the leg was done at no cost.

“We are so grateful to Drs. Moshe and Noa Oz at the Rose Valley Veterinary Hospital (in West Kelowna) who, once again, have donated their time,” said Ross.

“In 2013 they were the SPCA veterinarians of the year in B.C.” The manager did not have a lot of details about the incident in which Chucky received the injuries, just that the cat was found by someone in Osoyoos and she was initially taken to a vet there.

She was then brought to the

Penticton shelter but has since not been claimed.

A foster home is being sought for the duration of her palliative care which involves regular visits to the doctor and it is hoped to find a permanent family for her after that.

“Obviously she will have to be an indoor cat and she may always having an issue with the crack in her pelvis but overall she is adjusting really well and she’s a real little jumper,” said Ross.

“It’s good that it was a back leg, animals have an easier time that way.

“Chucky is just such a personable girl and so energetic.

I know she’ll make a fabulous furry family member for a forever home once she’s fully healed,” said Ross.

Anyone interested in adopting or helping with medical costs for Chucky or any of the other animals in the care of the SPCA can donate online at spca. bc.ca/penticton, call 250-4930136 or go to the shelter at 2200 Dartmouth Dr. in Penticton.

INFLUENZA IS UPON US – GET VACCINATED TODAY!!!!

Many of you have probably already heard that the flu has come early to British Columbia this year. Although current influenza activity is still low, early activity may indicate an increase in the coming weeks. This means that there is no better time to get vaccinated than now.

Who should get vaccinated?

All seniors 65 and older should get vaccinated every year. This is because they are at the highest risk of experiencing complications that could require hospitalization and occasionally result in death. Such complications include pneumonia, bronchitis and worsening of underlying conditions such as asthma and COPD. It is estimated that at least 2000 people in Canada die annually from the flu and its complications so make sure you protect yourself by getting vaccinated.

People with certain chronic medical conditions should also be vaccinated yearly as they are also at higher risk of complications. These conditions include, but are not limited to, heart conditions,

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

liver disorders, kidney disorders, diabetes, lung disease, and conditions associated with reduced immune systems including cancers. Everyone who falls in these categories, regardless of age, is eligible for a publicly supplied vaccine at no cost.

Other people who are eligible for a free vaccine include household contacts of the aforementioned high risk people, first responders, caregivers of children under 5 years and those who work or volunteer in hospitals or long term care facilities. Vaccination of these peoples reduces the risk of spread to those at highest risk of complications.

Getting vaccinated is the most effective way to prevent yourself from catching the flu. At Riverside Pharmasave we administer the flu shot on a walk-in basis, 7 days a week.

Whether you need more information, a flu shot or something for your flu symptoms, Riverside Pharmasave is here to help!

opinion

So many choices, and so little time There are a number of forums planned for our slate of Penticton candidates as we head into the final weeks leading up to the election.

But are they as valuable as is commonly accepted? Especially when there are 24 council candidates and three mayoral?

There was a lot of dialogue exchanged at the first all-candidates’ forum Tuesday, with a total of 69 individual questions being asked of the 23 candidates that turned out. Just how much new information anyone in the audience went home with is open to question.

Though there was a huge turnout for the Tuesday night forum, you also have to consider that a certain percentage of the crowd is already a supporter or perhaps even a campaign worker for one of the candidates on stage.

Certainly, many of the questions directed to particular candidates at these forums often seen tailor-made to address an issue the candidate has a popular position on.

Then, too, in the case of the Penticton forum, with so many candidates there is bound to be some misinformation, such as when Helena Konanz — originally from the U.S., though now a Canadian citizen — was questioned about her Republican leanings. Konanz, it turns out, was a member of the Democratic party in the U.S. (though she admitted she did vote Republican, on occasion).

Or the City of Penticton being blamed for putting the kibosh on a memorial for a fallen soldier in Veteran’s Park. That only happened PENTICTON WESTERN after council was informed by the Royal Canadian Legion that it wasn’t proper protocol to honour an individual soldier that way.

Our message here is go to the forums, be part of the process and make the best use you can of the chance to interrogate a candidate and inform your vote. It’s up to you to make the process work the way it should.

Hoax emails still bamboozling the public Though social media has taken away some of its lustre, email is sure to go down in history as one of the greatest inventions in the history of communications.

And I am certain the first group to stand up and agree with me will be the scammers and hoaxers that have made such exemplary use of email. At one time, they had to work through your regular mail: slow and costly. Now, with email, they can beam their scams directly into your home and office, and in huge quantities.

I had thought the amount of spam I was getting had tapered off, but it appears I was just going through a lull.

I recently got a fresh copy of one of the oldest hoaxes going around, that the government was about to start requiring stamps on email.

This particular hoax has circulated on the Internet since about 1999, warning that the federal government was about to quietly push a bill

through the House of Commons that would amount to a five cent tax on each email you send. Like the best of hoaxes, it is something that sounds just believable enough: it’s even made it into the pages of the Washington Post and onto CNN. It’s hard to put down the people who take this hoax at face value. It’s well crafted. Like any really good hoax, it has all the elements to make people want to believe.

A government corporation wanting to make up lost revenue, faceless MPs determined to get a share of all that free communications passing around on the Internet, it’s all there.

Speaking of nickels, if I only had one for all the offers from people that want to send me money. The authors range from corrupt government officials, to victims of natural disasters and even people offering to name me as their sole heir, an inheritance worth millions,

Steve Kidd Kidding Around providing I would use it to “spread the word of god.” Wouldn’t it just be easier and safer to leave it to the church or religious mission of your choice?

My favourite though, had to be the one I received from a hit man, who had apparently been hired to kill me. He didn’t much care for the person who hired him, and apparently thought I was a good guy, so he was offering me a chance to outbid whoever wanted me dead.

Clearly, his research didn’t extend into checking out how much

reporters make.

The Nigerian scam, as it is known, along with all the variants that have been spawned over the years, is one of the most popular scams on the Internet, even though the stories are so unbelievable. Still, statistics indicate that more than 50,000 people a year fall victim to the Nigerian scam. Some estimates place the scam as the third most lucrative industry in Nigeria, generating over $5 billion in the last 20 years.

Hoaxes and scams are nothing new. Nor do they only come by email — the venerable $250 Neiman-Marcus cookie recipe hoax predates the Internet by decades.

No doubt con men and tricksters have been around since early man developed the spoken word. Everyone gets taken in at one time or another. From all walks of life, your neighbour to the scientist in the laboratory.

In fact, scientists are responsible for one of

the most famous hoaxes of all time. Not for creating it — though science has certainly created a few — but for believing that a motley collection of modern and ancient bones, human and chimpanzee, was the remains of a previously unknown stage in the evolution of man.

And they believed it for years. I even remember finding the Piltdown Man still described in an elementary school science textbook even though it had been discredited in the 1950s.

(Yep, those were some old textbooks).

The list goes on and on, but they all have some things in common.

They play on our emotions; on our sympathy for people in trouble, on our distrust of governments and corporations, on our fear of being harmed, or our dreams of an easy path to a better life.

Find different funding for city renovations Recent letters to the editor have discussed issue regarding the approval to expand the economic investment zones in Penticton.

I gather the grants are intended to encourage construction that might not otherwise happen. One point missed in the concerns raised about the cost issues for this program is that Penticton businesses already have a significant property tax advantage over almost all B.C. municipalities.

Each year when council approves property tax rates for general municipal taxes (the operating budget for the city) they approve a mill rate for residential property assessments and a different mill rate for business property assessments. As a result the mill rates approved and our property assessments values the 2014 general budget of $27.1 million was $19.6 million for residential properties, $6.5 million for business properties and an additional $1 million for other assessment categories.

In B.C. there are 161 municipalities, each able to decide what rate of taxes are assigned to residential properties. When the Penticton business and residential tax rates are compared to the other 160 municipalities in B.C., Penticton has the 10th lowest ratio for business property taxes. The nine municipalities that do give businesses a better tax break than Penticton are all communities of less than 5,000 population. If Penticton

Get out and vote

Something for those who do not vote to consider.

In the upcoming elections we must remember that a vote not cast is actually a vote for whomever gets elected. If you do not vote, accept the fact that you have elected the mayor and council and hold your criticism until you actually cast a vote.

Check out the candidates the best you can and make an informed or gut decision, but make a decision.

Question everything

Every morning I spend a few moments to read the headlines on CNN, CTV and CBC. For the last two weeks, I hear nothing but Ebola on all three channels. Never, in my entire lifetime of 75 years, have I seen a certain subject literally beaten to death on the stupidity accelerator. Yes, I even hear that the National Guard of the U.S. will attack the Ebola outbreak. I wonder how the National Guard will bomb the Ebola virus to death.

It seems to me, that the public must always have some imaginary foe to confront.

Bird and swine flu is dead, long live Ebola.

We hunted down the evil Adolf, Nasser, Idi Amin, Kony 2012, I wonder what ever happened to him, because we never heard the end result. We killed Kaddafi, Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden and are in the process of ousting Assad. We needed gypsy moth, mill foil, pine beetles and other pests. Most of them have disappeared, no one told us what ever happened to these pests.

The best of all is, we see pictures on the TV about an Ebola task force, transporting

I hope their proposals come with a funding source that does not inlcude residential taxpayer.

followed the business and tax ratio used in Kelowna this year, Penticton general residential taxes would have been $1.3 million less and Vernon’s practice would have saved Penticton residential taxpayers $2.4 million.

No business in B.C. in a municipality of over 5,000 population pays a lower share of general property taxes than in Penticton.

In addition to this tax advantage for all businesses’ the tourism industry receives significant additional benefit as a result of the city funding many activities intended to bring tourists to the community. These expenses would include the Challenge race deficits, convention centre deficits, grants to host such

an Ebola sick person into a plane. Since the stretcher cannot climb the stairs up to the plane, the patient simply gets off the stretcher and walks up the stairs without assistance.

I wonder how sick this person was in his brain as to get off his bed and walk. All of the people present at the transport wear protective overalls and mask, except the reporter who seems to be immune against Ebola. The reporter even took a ride, unprotected in the ambulance, which brought the patient to the plane, but the driver wears his protective gear.

It reminds me of something funny happened on the way to the moon.

I think that either the media or the entire system needs a forced psychiatric treatment to correct the upstairs deficiency. What do they think of the public?

Do they think we are all stupid and would not notice such obvious contradicting behavior of the ambulance crew and reporter?

Even in Africa, people do not believe this BS about Ebola, because the people there attack the Red Cross staff, who pass out vaccinations after which people fall ill with Ebola.

Otto Sturhahn Penticton

For months now, we have seen so much about Ebola on the TV, not to mention all the other catastrophies going on around our world. I’m sure I’m not the only one to be thinking this way, either.

Why is it that these war-torn countries have not done for their people what they should be doing for their people. Teaching them how to become self reliant people. Why are the countries that hand over millions not ensuring the money is going to where it should be going. Why are these people not being taught

events as the B.C. Games, plus significant extra operational costs to manage and maintain the community.

I don’t know if the $1.8 million cost for civic renovations of the 100 and 200 block of Main Street is to help businesses or tourism but it does not seem appropriate as a responsibility for the whole community. The residential taxpayer in Penticton pays over 72 per cent of the general municipal budget, which is the funding source to fund many of these programs.

I expect most residential taxpayers enjoy the activities available in our community that require city funding support. Is it a requirement that for the privilege of living in a municipality that attracts many tourists that the residential taxpayer must pay such a large share of the extra costs spent to provide the activities that attract the tourists? Even though the city spends so many tax dollars to get tourists into local hotels, the recent loss of a court case shows the city does not even have a say in how the accommodation tax generated may be spent.

Many of the candidates for Penticton council indicate that new economic development initiatives are a high priority for the city. Unless they limit their initiatives to cheerleading, I hope their proposals come with a funding source that does not include the residential taxpayer.

how to be masters of their own lives?

Is it any wonder that so many young men, and women too, are becoming radicals. No doubt they see no future for their lives, so what have they got to loose. Something is definitely wrong somewhere. All that gold that has been mined in Africa and they can’t provide for their people. I was always taught the more you do for someone the less they’ll do for themselves. You become the enabler.

Ask yourself, what is the reason behind it?

Does it all boil down to the greed factor?

A few questions before elections

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

On electronic vote counting:

“A manual count may take longer but, why are we always in a hurry.”

— posted by Roy West

On Man sentenced for stealing $40,000:

“Gambling can be an Addiction; did they send him to a Treatment Program?”

So many questions before the elections. My biggest concern is the renegade out-of-control city planners and those that approve their redundant ideas. Have planners and local politicians over the years transformed a city that was so much fun for youth and families into seniorville?

No offence to seniors, as I am almost there myself, but what age group spends the most money on holidays? Young adults and families is the correct answer.

Penticton used to rock when I first moved to the Okanagan, now it is becoming boring with little entertainment value for youth. Thank god for Loco Landing, one of the few attractions still left, but with deterring zoning changes that eliminated campgrounds, water slides, heritage motels, RV parks, parks and green space etc. are these changes really for the people?

Their personal legacy? Or, revenue for city hall to blow money on projects like they won the lottery?

Look at Martin Street, how many people smash their doors on these dumb posts?

Or, cannot get out of their car with posts in the way? The corner sidewalk extensions into the intersections that make it difficult for large vehicles to turn etc.

Is it transparent that the city planners have a severe case of monkey see, monkey do every time Kelowna does something?

Was the Okanagan Lake vote not to put a marina at the Sicamous and leave it as is?

Sadly I just learned that now they have had the option list out again for the Sicamous area. Has anyone noticed they never give the option to just leave it as is? Is this another sneaky tactic to trick the public to get what they want? Would this not be consider a breach of trust by ignoring the wishes of the people voting Option 4? Does it also show that planners and politicians really don’t care what the public thinks and will eventually do what they want anyway?

John Vassilaki promises transparency and accountability, but was it not he that paid for the marine survey at the Sicamous?

Was it not him that voted against Option 4,

preferring the city to go millions of dollars in debt instead of the options that favoured his Sicamous development/marina? And, has Vassilaki had input into the current list of options that appear to favour his original plans? I like John on a personal level, but we need more answers before the election.

It sickens me for the future of rapidly dwindling parks and green space in this city with planners and developer-minded people at city hall that have no conscience for nature.

Before I vote, I would love to know which candidates truly care about Penticton and its green space and who are in it for their own personal agendas. I would definitely vote for those willing to make change/elimination in the planning department and those that believe it is better to concentrate on current infrastructure without selling out what little charm still exists of Penticton. I would love to hear what the candidates’ views are on these matters.

“Compulsive gambling is cunning, baffling, and powerful and it’s difficult to understand the addiction because no chemicals or substances are ingested into the body.

Almost every day the newspaper, TV, radio and magazines carry stories about the compulsive gambler who is sent to prison for a crime to support their habit, committed suicide because of the shame, or they are being locked up in a psyche ward.

Drugs and alcohol are not the only two addictions that destroy lives. While you are reading this paragraph, someone you know may be embezzling money to support their gambling problem. The number of problem gamblers increases daily and this hidden addiction tears at the fabric of society. Addictions are the most untreated treatable mental illnesses and there is help.”

Thanks for your opinion

After reading Rolf Loth’s condemnation of my letter to the editor I don’t know if I should laugh or cry.

Ignorance is a learned and debilitating disease almost always associated with those that cannot think for themselves.

I really appreciate his letter though, as this proves that there are some citizens that do not always agree with my opinions and for this we should all be thankful.

Mr Roth is entitled to his opinions, as misguided as they are, but I will leave it up to the readers to decide if his opinions are rational or just junk mail.

City council where are you?

In light of the legal action fostered by the city and carried out by a “premier law firm from Vancouver,” what has happened?

Apparently, nothing! The echoes of transparency, fiscal responsibility and such seem to have been sealed in a time capsule to possibly be opened sometime in the future, or not.

The whole issue seemed to be a knee jerk reaction by the city, possibly to show that omnipotence by public officials cannot be challenged without backlash of some sort. What a way to get civic notoriety. The media ran wild with this all over B.C. The David and Goliath effect at its best! FDR carries his big stick!

As a taxpayer, the city would appear to have mounds

of scrambled egg on its face, as not much has happened since the initial story unfolded. No accounting for money spent or misspent in litigation, depending on your point of view. It might be likened to a shopper who goes into a retail store, buys something, pays for it, has it packaged and then walks out and leaves it on the counter.

The question would appear to be, what did council achieve?

And, how did taxpayers benefit from this financial gambit? The jury is still out on that one. The tenets of transparency; fiscal responsibility and accountability touted by many of the sitting council members in their campaigns seem to be less than transparent, in fact, appear to be more translucent than transparent.

Will we, as taxpayers, ever know the real truth about these legal costs? Probably not!

The attitude of I’m right and they’re wrong and I ain’t quittin’, would seem to be the city’s order of the day and they don’t feel that they have to prove it.

November is moving ever closer and electioneering is prevalent everywhere one goes in the city. It is refreshing to see so many new names that will be on the upcoming ballot.

With so many names, many unknown heretofore, will the same rash promises of fiscal responsibility, accountability and transparency still be major planks in an individual’s platform? Will people run campaigns based on sincerity or hype?

The proof of the pudding might well be in the eating!

Reaching out

Gordon and Edna Johnson sent a letter speaking about the challenges of living in poverty.

We at the Access Centre see this situation on a daily

basis (dealing with over 1,000 requests for assistance each month). With the municipal election coming soon, it may be a good time to ask all candidates for city council some questions about this.

In the 2013 Vital Signs report of the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan Similkameen, our community was given a grade of D+ for the gap between rich and poor.

Stats Can figures for 2005 (the latest available) show that 10.2 per cent of our citizens live below the low income cutoff, and 12.3 per cent of our children do.

Given that use of services such as the food bank, soup kitchen, and Access Centre have increased in that time, it seems that these numbers are increasing.

What do you see as the role of municipal government in addressing issues of poverty, and what policies or programs would you like to see put in place?

Elmie Saaltink, chair Penticton and Area Access Society

Integrity of our votes this election

On Oct. 21st I sent the following request to city hall: please send me the security checklist that was used in the 2011 civic election to ensure security of the vote counting machines before; during the hours the polls are open and after during the counting and tallying procedure. Also the measures that are taken to secure the hard copy of the ballot until the waiting period for challenges are made.

Secondly, please send me the security checklist that is to be used in the coming 2014 civic election including all the information requested above.

These simple checklists ensure the integrity of these machines and protection of the

voter. I have not received a response or an acknowledgement that this request has been received.

Time is short.

Advance polls will be held within a short span of time, mail in ballots are being sent; the longer my request is delayed or ignored the less time there will be to ensure adequate scrutiny of the security list the city uses to ensure the integrity of the vote or to make any suggestions that would be beneficial to ensure that the rights of the voter have been protected.

There has been conflict this election in Penticton between the voter and city hall on the use of these vote counting machines.

In my opinion; the complexity of the vote as opposed to single ballots in provincial and federal elections is sufficient reason to use these machines providing adequate security is taken to ensure the security of the vote.

I have talked extensively to a software designer on this subject and I am personally satisfied that it is unlikely that these machines will be tampered with remotely which is one of the key issues of this group.

However, voters are still faced with the same problem since time immemorial, ensuring the integrity of their vote.

Scrutineering is a valuable tool in preserving the right of the voter to honest elections.

The failure of an acknowledgement by the city to my request leads me to question whether adequate measures have been taken in past elections to preserve the integrity of the vote and does not reassure me that adequate measures are being taken in this election to protect the integrity of these machines and the rights of the voter.

Erik Laflamme checks on the condition of grandpa at his (very haunted) home at 796 Eckhardt Ave. East this week in preparation for he and wife Lisa’s annual celebration of Halloween which has become a popular and scary stop on Oct. 31.

More than just trick or treating Dale Boyd

Western News Staff

For those getting tired of the same old Halloween routine, some non-traditional events taking place this weekend might be the shake up you’re looking for.

It’s no secret that free candy is a big part of Halloween, but for the young bookworms in the community, it’s also a chance to get their hands on some brand new books for free.

Penticton Writers and Publishers is hosting their annual Books for Treats Halloween event at Cherry Lane Mall on Oct. 31.

The event is part of the crossCanada Raise a Reader initiative, however, the Books for Treats event is unique to Penticton.

This year marks the third Books for Treats and the event is gaining popularity every year, giving out 800 books in their first year and over a thousand last year.

Norma Hill, a member of Penticton Writers and Publishers, said it’s always good to see young minds interested in reading.

“Every year it’s going up,” said Hill. “We gave out over a thousand books in two hours last

year.”

Anyone in costume can come out to receive a free book of their choice between 5-7 p.m. The focus is on young readers, but the event isn’t age restricted.

“We’ll be giving out free books for children of all ages right from books for babies right through teenagers, as well as books for adults,” Hill said.

The books are provided by donations from authors and publishers, some of whom are members of the Penticton Writers and Publishers, as well as publishers from around BC. Young readers can also get some trick or treating done with some stores offering up treats.

If getting in touch with your mystical side sounds like an interesting way to spice up your Halloween weekend, White Lioness Metaphysics is offering some spiritual courses in the realm of the metaphysical.

White Lioness Metaphysics will be offering up 25 classes including a workshop on runes, some halloween-themed belly dancing or scrying, the practice of finding images in translucent objects like crystal balls.

One of the courses is a rune workshop involving the 4,000 year old runic alphabet and

teaching people how to make what are essentially signatures, or sigils, that represent different facets of life including health, wealth and protection.

Past life regression is another course that will put you in touch with your past lives to help with the present.

“We regress you to past lives to help you get over past experiences and evolve out of them like losing the fears that you’ve gathered throughout your lives,” Jennifer Innes, Owner of White Lioness Metaphysics, said.

The course revolves around a meditation-like practice that some compare to a hypnotic experience.

“I don’t classify it as hypnotherapy, although many do,” Innes said.

Soul confessions is another course that focuses on dealing with fears, and coping with them in order to achieve personal goals moving forward. Innes said it’s all about finding inner strengths and using your outer environment to reflect your inner desires.

While many of the sessions sound like intense experiences, this is not the focus Innes said.

“It’s a weekend of learning and having fun. A lot of it is just

having fun and learning to enjoy yourself,” Innes said.

One of the classes involves belly dancing to a remix of a classic halloween track in Michael Jackson’s Thriller.

“By the time we finish the belly dancing, you’ll be able to dance the entire song,” said Innes.

White Lioness Metaphysics holds these courses year round, however, for Halloween weekend there will be a condensed schedule showing off nearly every course available.

For more information visit www.whitelionessmetaphysics. com For those who go for the more traditional route of trick or treating the government of Canada would like to remind parents of a few key tips to keep young critters, goblins and ghouls safe out on the streets.

Avoiding heavy or large costumes with dangling pieces that could be tripped over, using face paint instead of masks and the ever important rule of making sure parents inspect candy before children eat it are some of the tips given on the government of Canada website.

Many great musical moments are born through improvisation, though not many bands can boast their origin was improvised on stage.

Al Peterson and Caleb “Bravehart” Hart had been to each other’s shows, but had never played live together until one night at an open mic. The two invented songs out of thin air to an overwhelmingly positive reception.

The two are now founding members of Tasman Jude, an Alberta-based reggae group out of Grand Prairie, that will be playing The Elite on Nov. 7.

He said the band’s origin was anything but pre-planned.

“One day we just got up on this open mic stage and we had no idea what we were going to do,” said Hart, vocalist and percussionist for Tasman Jude.

The two improvised three songs that night. Suddenly, they were surrounded by college students asking where they

could find the band’s music.

“That launched our career,” Hart said.

Hart made a Facebook page that very night, culminating in 100 likes in two days. The first teaser track the band released online had the same instant success, shooting to No. 2 on the Canadian reggae charts for independent music website Reverbnation, with the track being played 5,000 times.

Hart was born in Alberta, but moved to the Caribbean when he was just two months old, spending his formative years in Trinidad and Tobago, living there until he was 19.

The small size of the Grand Prairie music scene had little to do with the vibrance of the community, Hart said.

“We owe all of our success to Grand Prairie. They have supported us relentlessly through the last 21 months,” Hart said.

“The music scene is not too shabby. There are numerous live venues. More than your average place, per capita.”

The band’s success in such a

small market is as unexpected as their formation, said Hart.

“Nobody really expected a positive reggae band to come out of a money-based, oilfield town,” Hart said.

The band has acquired a few more members since the impromptu jam and is touring its latest release Green, the first instalment of a three-album series.

The next instalments of the concept album collection will be Gold and Red, making up the three colours of reggae.

Each colour represents different emotion and a different sound Hart said. Green will be the raw, roots-y addition, with Gold swaying to an island, steel drum sound reminiscent of Hart’s childhood in Trinidad and Tobago and Red will strive for a bigger arena-rock reggae style.

A dollar from every sale of Green will go to the organization Tree Canada which plants trees across the country.

Young writers in the Okanagan area will be flexing their improvisational skills in the 3-Hour Short Story Contest put on by Okanagan College.

The contest will take place on all four Okanagan College campuses Salmon Arm, Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton on Nov. 1.

This is the fifth year the contest is taking place and is open to grades 11 and 12 as well as students attending Okanagan College.

The only stipulations, aside from the three-hour time limit, are the stories need to include a secret phrase, which is only revealed just before the contest begins. There are no guidelines for length with

past entries ranging from one to 15 pages.

“It calls on them to be spontaneous and creative and push themselves to see what they can do within that time constraint,” said Corina Chong, English professor at Okanagan College and event organizer.

Secret phrases from years past include burning fields, red shoelaces and punctured air mattress. The writers will take the general phrase and run with it, creating a unique and original story.

“It’s totally up to the student to decide how they are going to incorporate that phrase. Some students will make it a central part of the story and others will have it appear as a brief mention,” Chong said. “One of the

things we look at while judging is how creative the student has been in trying to incorporate that phrase smoothly.”

Stories are judged by the creative writing professors from the four Okanagan College campuses. The judges ensure that they won’t be judging work from one of their own students by sending stories to the different campuses.

The judges will then come to a consensus about which stories are the best from each campus, then the four convene to decide the overall winner out of the four.

Out of the last four contests, two of the winners have been high school students.

“Those involved are definitely positive about the experience. The response has been

really good,” Chong said.

Around 70 students took part in last years contest, including winner Mary Bevan from the Kelowna campus.

“The surprise phrase and the three-hour time limit meant no one was more prepared than anyone else,” said Bevan. “We were all starting with a blank sheet.”

The contest is free of charge, but has a limited amount of entrants it can accommodate. Four $250 tuition credits will be given out to the winners from each campus. The grand prize winner will take home an extra $250 in tuition credit and have their story printed as a book by Kalamalka Press.

Rovers come back bigger, better Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

The last time the Irish Rovers played Penticton, tickets for the Cleland Theatre performance sold out faster than anyone expected.

That was in 2011. For their next visit, on March 7, 2015 they’re better prepared for an enthusiastic Penticton response.

“The last time they played Penticton, the show sold out in a flash but we didn’t have a spare day to add the second show. This time we do.

If this show sells out quickly, we’ll add a second,” said Jennifer Fahrni, the band’s PR manager.

This time around, she said, the show will be bigger and better, with all the players from the band’s recent recordings, which include some of Ireland’s top players.

It may also be the last chance to see the Rovers in person. After 50 years of entertaining, the band is finally thinking of hanging up their travelling shoes.

“This may be the last

message on the Rovers’ stage, other than life’s a bit short, so let’s enjoy our two hours together.

It sometimes feels like the Alberta oil sands are on another planet, and extraction there doesn’t really affect our our clean lake and blue skies.

Of course in some aspects of our lives, we’re all reliant on oil and gas. Here in Penticton, many people commute to Fort Mac and back for work. Many more of us have spin-off revenue from Albertans that visit and vacation here.

But what’s it like for the rural Albertans who live next to, and in many cases downstream from, oil and gas production?

In his latest novel, Who by

Fire, award-winning Alberta author, Fred Stenson, tells the story of a ranching family in the 1960s who suddenly have a new neighbour, a sour gas processing plant.

In the beginning the plant malfunctions with an immediate impact on the farming community nearby. Children grow pale and sickly, fences corrode and animals die. There is no immediate fix to the plant’s problems, so gas continues to roll down the hills into the farmyards.

On bad days, farmers are evacuated. But no one really wants to be bothered with a lawsuit, and townsfolk who are doing well because of oil and gas money are reluctant to help.

At the centre of the story, Tom and Ella and their children try to cope with the plant next door. But it is such a huge presence in their lives that beyond making them sick, it can’t help but cause tension, strife and eventually divide the family.

The story in Who by Fire flips back and forth from the 1960s to present day. In the present, the youngest son, Billy, works in oil and gas north of Fort McMurray.

At first this career choice seems a

bit farfetched given his upbringing, but as time passes, Billy’s motivation becomes clear.

Who by Fire is a multi-layered, deeply moving novel, and although it is a work of fiction, Stenson writes from experience.

When young, in the ‘60s and ‘70s, his family fought against a gas plant near their farm.

He was later employed by oil and gas companies to celebrate the industry, and to document its development.

During his work, Stenson met all kinds of people, including insiders in the industry who worked tirelessly to improve plant conditions such as sulphur recovery from sour gas.

Stenson has a profound connection to, and understanding of, Alberta – both its history and its culture.

Although fiction, Who by Fire is a valuable insight into what the province has done, where it’s going, and what might happen in future collisions between industry and community.

Dental growths can occur on the palate, beneath the tongue or above the teeth.

Hard bony bumps under the gums are called tori. “Torus” is Latin for “bull”, and these bumps likely get their name from their bulbous shape and the fact that they are made of strong, hard bone.

Torus palatinus are simply hard, bony growths covered by firm, pink gum tissue on the hard palate. They are solidly bound to the underlying bone and cannot be moved around with finger pressure.

These begin as small, hard bumps in the centre of the palate in younger people, but they tend to enlarge as the patient ages. Torus palatinus bumps develop very slowly and do not appear suddenly. They are considered normal anatomy unless they become annoyingly large, or they interfere with the construction of an upper denture. In this case they are removed by an oral surgeon.

Patients may have a torus for years, but not realize that it was there all along until suddenly one day they notice it. At that point they may worry that they have developed oral cancer but find that it is really just their normal anatomy.

An examination by your dentist can help identify the growth.

Torus Mandibularis are the same type of growths as the Torus Palatinus, except that they grow on the inside of the lower jaw. Again, they can grow quite large, or they may remain as small bumps. They are also bound by the underlying bone and cannot be moved around with finger pressure.

Very large mandibular tori can become a nuisance since they are covered with easily abraded soft tissue and can become quite sore when eating hard or irritating foods. In such situations an oral surgeon can remove the growth.

There is some post operative discomfort, but effects are immediate and generally very positive for the patient.

Exostoses are simply hard bumps that occur on the bone outside of the top or bottom teeth. Like tori, they are solidly bound down to the underlying bone and are not movable.

These growths can range from tiny (feeling like an immovable grain of sand beneath the gums) to quite large. They are also generally considered normal anatomy and are left alone unless they interfere with the construction of a denture. If that is the case they are removed by an oral surgeon.

Any oral bump, lump or growth that you notice should be ascertained by your dentist.

Christmas craft fair is biggest ever Dale Boyd

Western News Staff

The craft fair formerly known as Santa Presents is now operating under the title Make it! Okanagan Christmas Craft and Sustainable Living Faire.

The 18th iteration of the craft fair is being held Nov. 1-2 at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre, featuring everything from stained glass to selfpublished books.

“It’s going to be the largest craft fair ever held in Penticton,” said Laurel Burnham, market and events coordinator with Downtown Penticton.

The fair plans to draw an estimated 100 vendors from surrounding areas as far as Alberta.

Up-cycling products will be one of the major themes of the show, said Burnham.

Up-cycling is the process of remaking used materials in to a more valuable product. For example, taking worn-down thrift store sweaters and recombining them in to new clothing items like toques, skirts or socks.

“It has to do with sustainable living which is the focus of our show,” Burnham said.

The show will feature only small businesses, with a focus on sustaining local economy, Burnham said.

The fair will host a myriad of products some of which will be forged in front of your eyes with live demonstrations such as glass blowing, 3D printing courtesy of Sandback Technical Design and

the realistic woodcarvings of Pentictonite Jordan Straker.

“The idea of encouraging people to use their hands, their hearts their minds to combine computer platforms and craft. To encourage local people’s ingenuity,” said Burnham.

It all comes down to sustainability said Burnham.

“Small-scale local economy is very important.”

The proceeds at the door are not going to the Hospital Foundation like in years past.

This year, they’re going to the Okanagan Upcycle Resource Society (OURS), a local, nonprofit group devoted to projects promoting the sharing, reuse and resale of materials.

One of OURS’ current projects includes gathering scrap wood from landfills to be repurposed.

The Penticton Fruit Tree Project, a community group who gathers fruit from local trees that would otherwise go to waste, will also be receiving proceeds from the event.

“I expect five to six thousand people over the two days. It’s a big show and people really like it, it’s kind of the principle seasonal craft event,” Burnham said.

Gourd carving, resin casting and live music are just a few of the hundreds of local sights to see at the Make it!

Okanagan Christmas Craft and Sustainable Living Faire, which opens its doors at 10 a.m. Nov. 1.

AGM Friday, November 28 7:00 PM RILEY ALFERD of the Penticton Vees gets airborne over Surrey Eagles netminder Daniel Davidson on this scoring attempt. Alferd had a goal and two assists in the Vees 10-0 drubbing of the Eagles in the Oct. 29 B.C. Hockey League game at the South Okanagan Events Centre. It was Penticton’s 11th consecutive win.

Mark Brett/Western News

Vees get 11th straight win Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

The Penticton Vees 11th win in a row came in convincing fashion.

The Vees pounded the Surrey Eagles 10-0 on Wicked Wednesday in front of 2,267 fans in the South Okanagan Events Centre.

“Those are tough games. You don’t really want to be involved in those games either way,” said Vees coach-general manager Fred Harbinson, adding that his team played great. “Now we have to play them again on Friday. They had some tough goals go in on them.

Hannoun scored his second of the game and 10th of the season on the power play, which the Vees were three-for-three on, as Patrick Newell fed the puck through the crease and Hannoun buried it after taking it off his skate.

Cody DePourcq made it 5-0 when he was sprung on a breakaway by Newsome and burned Davidson top shelf on his glove hand. Matthew Serratore, Jack Ramsey and Lewis Zerter-Gossage completed the scoring spree.

In the final frame, Serratore buried his second and Miles Gendron got credit for the final goal put in by a Surrey defender.

“I think a lot of it was because our transition,” said Harbinson.

“We played hard and we played four lines. I thought our guys played extremely hard right to the end. They didn’t take short cuts.”

Harbinson also credited Hunter Miska’s play in net saying the goalie made saves when need-

Swim team defends valley Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

The Pen High Lakers swim team dominated as they won the Okanagan Valley championship for the second year in a row.

“They did a fantastic job,” said coach Tina Hoeben, who also coached the Princess Margaret Mustangs. “They were really strong, super enthusiastic and excited. The real job is coming up. The goal is to place top five, which is an ambitious goal.”

The Lakers captured the title in Revelstoke on the weekend with 609 points. The hosts finished a distant second with 281 points, while Okanagan Mission rounded out the top three with 243 points.

Riley Wall, Simon Paisley, Xelian Louw and Samuel Lasinski broke a 22-year-old record set by Vernon’s Fulton

H i g h in 1992 by two seconds in the 200 m e t r e free relay.

Lasinski, Jaren LeFranc, Wall and Louw also broke a record in the 200-m medley by eight seconds. The boys collected 350 of the team’s points.

“I think our boys in particular setting two valley records, one that stood for 22 years is very impressive,” said Lakers co-teacher sponsor Dave Nackoney, who said the future is bright for the team because the records were set by Grade 10 students and the girls are mostly in Grade 9.

The Mustangs placed 13th out of 19 teams and Hoeben said they performed well while not having the same depth as

the Lakers.

K e n z i e Haberstock, C h a e Ly n n Wi l l i a m s , J a m i e Ferguson and Haley Grunow qualified for provincials as a team. Reece Haberstock also qualified on the boys’ side.

Next up are provincials in Richmond on Nov. 14-15.

The following students make up the Lakers swim team: Avery Barnett, Haley Berrisford, Eric Doroshuck, Dan Everton, Dilmeet Gill, Riley Kascak, Matthew Koster, Ann Marie LangHodge, Lasinski, LeFranc, Nikita Logie, Louw, Bradan Meynen, Liam Mulhull, Myah Nackoney, Payton Nackoney, James Naude, Wynn Norland, Theo Oliver, Simon Paisley,

For the Mustangs, Ferguson is the lone swimmer who will go to provincials competing in the 100-m freestyle. Other commitments prevent the other swimmers from attending.

McNicoll Park School and Skaha Lake were also represented at the valleys. Tyler Wall of McNicoll Park qualified for provincials in the 50 and 100-m freestyle.

“It’s impressive in that he is the only Grade 8,” said Hoeben of Wall, who placed 17th overall. Emmy Caruso represented Skaha Lake and qualified in the 100-m breast stroke.

IN BRIEF Time to get feet dirty

The North Face Dirty Feet Tunnel Run is in Naramata Nov. 2. Registration is still open until Oct. 31 and there is no race-day registration. As of Wednesday, there were 170 people registered. Prizes are being given for the best costume. The route offers beautiful views of Okanagan Lake and the vineyards of Naramata. Going up the Kettle Valley Trail is a two to three per cent grade allowing anyone to run the route and there is a tunnel as well along the 20 kilometre course. People can enter as solos or a two-person relay. The race starts at 11 a.m. with check-in from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. To register, check www.dirtyfeet.ca and check the tab under Trail Run Races to find the Penticton event.

Triathlon series created by local

Steve Brown, of Peach City Runners, is starting up three triathlons in Sylvan Lake, Alta., Cultas Lake, B.C. and Osoyoos. Brown, who is making a more detailed announcement about the triathlons on Monday, said he has been thinking about it for about a year.

“It just became obvious that the opportunity was there. As the opportunities arose, I just kind of moved on them,” said Brown.

“The communities have been very welcoming.” Brown chose those locations because they are proven triathlon communities.

In Osoyoos, the Osoyoos Lake Loop Triathlon will replace the Desert Half, which was cancelled this past year due to low registration according to the Osoyoos Times. “The big change for Osoyoos is that we are no longer going to be doing the out and Steve Brown back over the Richter Pass,” said Brown, adding that it will go through Black Sage. The series of triathlons begins in Cultus Lake on June 14, then to Osoyoos on June 28 and wraps up in Sylvan Lake on July 19.

Lakers field hockey prepping for valleys

The Pen High Lakers senior girls field hockey team played a pair of exhibition games against the South Okanagan Secondary Hornets as they get ready for the Okanagan Valley championship this weekend in Kelowna. On Oct. 23, the two teams battled to a scoreless draw with Maggie Harries in net, then on Oct. 28, the Lakers lost 2-0. The Lakers, seeded fourth, face the top-seeded Kelowna Secondary Owls, while No. 2 seed South Kamloops takes on No. 3 Mt. Boucherie. With one final practice before the valleys, Lakers coach Shaun Johnston is focused on having her team work on penalty corners.

Mixed fall bridge set to start

The Game Time Sports Wolverines thumped the Red Wings 10-1 in Penticton Men’s Rec Hockey League action on Oct. 23. The Wolverines were led by two-goal efforts from Cole Van Unen, Ryan MacMurchy and Kam Crawford, while Carey Brown, Jim McGillivary, Derek Grimm and Dylan Burton each scored once. Shining Tree Wills scored the Red Wings lone goal. On Oct. 27, the Broncos defeated the Hitmen 6-1.

Broncos goalscorers: Stuart Nisbet (2), Jordan Moss (2), Eric Cerutti and Jamie Low. Hitmen goalscorer: Garrett Foster

FIGHT FOR IT — Alicia Sieben of the Summerland Rockets fights for the ball with Princess Margaret Mustang Makeena Hartman, left, during their Okanagan AA Valley championships for third place in Oliver on Oct. 25. The Mustangs won the game 1-0. They lost an earlier heart-breaking match 1-0 to Okanagan Mission. Kendra Penner and Madison Cook were awarded game most valuable player awards.

Penticton targets title Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

TY RICARD of the Penticton Heat (left) takes a bump during an Interior Field Lacrosse league match against John Black of the Kamloops Rattlers in U14 action. This weekend in Vernon, Ricard and his teammates will be pushing to win the zone championship after a stellar regular season.

Roger Knox/Black Press

The Penticton under-14 Heat hope to cap off their dominance in the Interior Field Lacrosse (IFL) with a zone championship.

Everything they have worked for comes down to Sunday in Vernon.

“This week’s practice has been about reinforcing what we have worked on all season,” said coach Dan Chetner. “I hope the team will be at its best when it matters.”

The team topped the IFL with a 12-1-1 record while scoring 158 goals and allowing 55. On Oct. 26 the Heat earned a 12-12 draw with North Okanagan, then pounded Kamloops 11-4.

“We didn’t play very well in the morning and then played, for the most part, really well in the afternoon,” said Chetner. “No explanation, it just was what it was.”

Chetner was surprised by the tie with North Okanagan, which finished with a 5-8-1 record. Penticton out chanced North Okanagan, but couldn’t finish.

“At the same time our defence wasn’t its best, our goalie wasn’t at his best,” he said.

Chetner liked how his group bounced back against Kamloops (10-4-0), a tougher opponent.

“We really dominated the game against Kamloops,” said Chetner. “It’s good as a coach to see your team perform in big games. That is probably the most difficult thing as an athlete is to

overcome the mental challenge in what is considered an important game.”

Leading into last weekend, Chetner said the upcoming semifinal is a tuneup for the final.

“We are looking forward to it and I think we’re in a good situation,” said Chetner. “If we go out and execute and perform to our ability, we should have a good outcome.”

Kamloops has the next most dangerous offence scoring 131 goals, however, they allowed 76 goals.

The winner of Penticton/Kelowna will face the winner of Kamloops/ North Okanagan.

The winner of the zones will advance to the provincial championship hosted by Burnaby in February.

On the under-12 side, Penticton went 0-13-1 as the youngest team playing against older squads such as Kelowna and Kamloops. Their season ended with a 6-5 loss to Kelowna and a 10-2 defeat against Kamloops. Penticton faces Kelowna, who won all its games, in their semifinal match.

Coach Chris Danby said the goal is to play a complete game.

“The last few weeks we have not played well for all four quarters and it has allowed the other teams to pull away from us,” said Danby. “If we play four solid quarters we should beat Kelowna, which would allow us to play Kamloops for the final.”

was born in Summerland and grew up working on my parents’ orchard and cannery.

After obtaining my BSc (Ag.) I worked in Ontario for three years until returning to UBC for my MBA. I am also a CGA and currently work as an auditor. My vision for Summerland is to preserve its rural nature and agricultural industry while fostering development on the nonagricultural land. The Smart Growth website says “agricultural land use generates about a $1 for every 35 cents it costs to service them.”

Municipal land at the

grew up in Summerland in a large family. In 2005 I founded Grasslands Nursery. I previously co-owned Kettle Valley Dried Fruits, worked in corporate communications at Port Metro Vancouver, and was a technical writer for a company in Kelowna. I also teach various gardening and horticulture courses at Okanagan College. My column Growing Green appears on a recurring basis in newspapers.

We, as a community, need to work on rebuilding trust and respect for one another.

I appreciate Summerland for the way that it is – that’s why in 2005 I chose to raise my family here. We must change with the

y work on council over the past three years has been inspiring and engaging. I have been able to delve into very complex issues and bring my local business perspective and conscientious manner in service of the community I love.

The infrastructure and growth needs are of critical importance and must be our top priorities. We must address these challenges with sensible growth strategies, smart fiscal management, and planned, sustainable investment in our infrastructure. As a business operator in the town core for over

I 10 years, I also understand how important our local entrepreneurs are to the health of our economy. It is important that our community attracts and retains young families and professionals.

My experience, knowledge, and understanding of community issues, as well as the balance of age, family and work life will allow me to be available, approachable and committed. The continuation of efforts to supply Garnet Valley with dependable domestic water would be among my top priorities.

I was the recipient of the 2006 BC Community Achievement Award for service to our community. I have

am against the land swap, but that does not mean I am antigrowth. Our population in 2012 decreased by 0.9 per cent under the current council.

Our need is for affordable housing for young families that can work and shop locally and fill our schools. The district owns Kelly Care and RCMP lots that could be leased to an experienced local housing society. We need to reinstate the position of economic development officer to actually go out and attract job creators. The lets-hope-they-come strategy is not working.

Stable funding for arts and culture, with council’s support for a more suitable location for the Art Gallery in the downtown core is essential. Currently I am past-president of Summerland Legion and the K40 club. I have been president of the Summerland Youth Centre for six years. The Kinsmen Club of Canada has honoured me with a life membership.

logical step for me to take is to participate in town council and the decision making process. I will do so with the understanding that being a councillor is not an easy task but it is one that I am prepared to take on and prepared to learn from. I hope that the public will get behind me and we will harness the energy of our population to create a positive future.

We have a beautiful waterfront with areas available for redevelopment. Greater emphasis on arts and culture will help to enrich us socially, culturally and economically.

ummerland is a town with so much potential. I would enjoy the opportunity of working with like-minded people in bringing Summerland to the forefront in the Okanagan. I’ve owned and managed businesses for over 35 years, giving me a solid understanding of people and business.

I have been involved with the Summerland Merchant Committee, Earth Week Committee, Movies in the Park and was instrumental in getting the Friday Night Street Market on Victoria Road. Council should be used as a

tool to promote these ideas and encourage the growth of our community. I have learned listening is the only way to really understand and the best way to communicate. Council is a tool for the people and our aim should be to make the population of Summerland proud of their community and enjoy their involvement in helping our town grow and prosper.

The Chuckanut is a stretch of road that Before I get to the ride, some background demands a cautious, easy-on-the-gas facts on the car, which will demonstrate pedal driving style – just as a Hybrid why it was a good choice for the drive. does! Scenic splendour is a constant distraction on The wagon-like body of Prius v is a little longer and your right (heading south), but there’s a steep 200 taller than a regular Prius. There’s more room for rear feet drop in some stretches, an unforgiving rock face passengers and there’s an impressive 58 per cent on the left and lots of sharp bends.

Under the hood, Toyota’s latest Hybrid Synergy Drive South of Colony Creek Bridge the Chuckanut runs system provides propulsion. The gas engine is now through the flat fertile planes of the Skagit Valley. It’s a belt-less 1.8-litre Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder. On a dramatic change in landscape, the sky is suddenly the electric side of the hybrid equation, the inverter, bigger and the road ahead is long and straight as far motor and transaxle are smaller and lighter than the you can see.

An interesting historical footnote, at one time (in the late 19th century, Edison was a community of Utopian Socialists known as the Equality Colony).

Not sure if I’ll ever get completely comfortable with the central instrument panel in a Prius. A switch button on the dash that changed kilometres to miles, however, was brilliantly simple and perfect for this trip. My biggest beef with the Prius v was cabin road noise at high speeds. Depending on the highway surface it can be so loud that it’s hard to converse with a front passenger.

Bigger and better, the Prius v offers the functionality and versatility of a wagon, for a relatively small price premium. Toyota’s tried and trusted Hybrid Synergy Drive system offers outstanding fuel economy and surprisingly good power, when needed.

Please slow down this Halloween and be extra vigilant, especially around residential areas. Children can be caught up in the excitement of Halloween and easily forget the rules of the road.
