Trio Marine, the new lease holders for the Skaha Marina, are trying to get in touch with current slip holders as they prepare to take over.

“We’re trying to get everything organized and go at the end of the year,” said Rob Campbell, spokesman for Trio, adding that their lease takes effect Jan. 1. “We will be in there right away to start cleaning up.”

One of the main goals, though, is to prepare a list of current slip holders who want to continue.

“We don’t know who they are. We are not getting much assistance in that regard,” said Campbell.

“It is making it a little bit difficult for us. We don’t want to have any bad feelings with the current people that have been in there for years, we are just trying to find them,” he said. “If they have been in there for a number of years, we want them to have the first opportunity to retain their slip.”

Trio does hope to expand the number of slips available, but that won’t happen in the 2015 season.

Trio is planning a major redevelopment of the marina site, but Campbell still isn’t willing to say what shape that will take.

“Early in the new year, when a couple of things are settled, then we will be going out for complete public announcements with all the information pertaining to what is going to happen down there,” he said, adding that Trio’s silence on plans is at the request of the City of Penticton.

“We had to sign an agreement with the city and they just want to make

sure that when this process rolls out it is done the right way with the least amount of backlash,” said Campbell.

There will be some changes in 2015, possibly including a small restaurant with a lakeside patio, which will be placed in front and beside the existing retail building.

“That is the tentative plan,” said Campbell. “We’re still working through that with the city right now.”

Campbell also said boaters can expect some safety upgrades to the existing docks as well as some aesthetic upgrades to the building and grounds.

Other changes to the operation will be minimal. The Marina will continue to operate and provide slip rentals, fuel sales, boat rentals, water sport recreational rentals and sales with additional retail space.

“We are working with another group to provide things like all of the lake or water sport retail, that would be things like stand-up paddleboards and kayaks and beach clothing, any of that kind of stuff,” he said. “There will also be, as part of the fuel sales, things related to boats: fenders and lifejackets, oil and batteries, that type of basic stuff.”

Those wanting to be on a slip waiting list can contact 778-476-5253 or email info@triomarinegroup.ca.

Winter weather wreaks havoc Kristi Patton Western News

Following issues with heavy, wet snow earlier this week, the South Okanagan should expect a cold snap.

“The current mild and wet or snowy conditions over the interior will turn dry and cold over the next few days,” said an Environment Canada weather office spokesperson.

It is expected an Arctic cold front will move to the southern interior on Friday, with temperatures reaching a low of -12C and highs of -8C by Sunday.

Linda Sankey, executive director of the South Okanagan Brain Injury Society, that helps run Penticton’s Cold Snap Inn to provide housing for homeless said this weekend will be the second time they have opened their doors this season.

“If the weather continues we are expecting to be open Friday evening counting through the weekend depending on the temperatures outside,” said Sankey.

Cold Snap Inn, located at Cheers the Church, was open for seven days in November with 10 people using the service. It includes a warm dinner, breakfast, access to showers and laundry machines.

Those using the service, which can also accommodate families with

children, can come to the back door of the church starting at 8 p.m.

An outreach worker will also be in attendance to try and help people find more permanent housing.

“Our program here at SOSBIS saw 240 Pentictonites use our service in the last 12 months to find housing. We know there are more

people out there it is just a matter of getting the word out,” said Sankey, who added they could use donations of winter clothing which can be dropped off at 996 Main St. and volunteers to help with food prep.

The first big snowfall of the season blanketed the South Okana-

gan overnight Tuesday. Environment Canada said 18 centimetres fell leaving school buses parked Wednesday morning and causing power outages around the region.

City of Penticton snow plows began working around 3 a.m.

Wednesday morning. Due to slick conditions, crews had to chain up

which added time to the response said city communications officer Simone Blais.

Snow brought down several trees around the city pushing them over onto power lines. The Westminster substation was off-line shortly on Wednesday morning, affecting about 4,000 homes. It was repaired by 4:45 a.m.

Summerland manager of utilities Devon van der Meulen said snowy conditions caused an unprecedented outage in the town.

“We did have a number of locations where meters have been damaged and some of those homeowners are reporting damage to electronics and appliances in their homes,” said van der Meulen. “We have never experienced that kind of thing with an outage like this.” van der Meulen estimates there were 30-40 meters burned out and some exploded right off the house.

Summerland utilities is in the process of having new ones installed.

He said snow falling off the lines caused them to spring back, as well as trees, causing troubles with the different pass of wires slapping against one another.

“We are talking to electrical engineers to try and determine what may have caused that and if there is anything to do in the future to prevent it. We are also discussing with Fortis if there is anything to do on their end,” he said.

Grand Chief arrested at protest Western News Staff

Grand Chief Stewart Phillip was true to his word as he put himself forward to be arrested this morning on Burnaby Mountain, standing up in protest to Kinder Morgan’s proposed pipeline route.

“I have a duty to grandchildren to be arrested here,” Phillip is reported as saying by Derrick O’Keefe in a tweet from the mountain. ““I’m here to be arrested … to show our vehement opposition to pipeline.”

Phillip, president of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs, was arrested at about noon Thursday, when he joined a group of protestors marching on a borehole site. He was one of 23 people ar-

rested to bring the total number of protesters arrested for defying a court injunction protecting the worksites to 125. Phillip said he and the UBCIC stand in solidarity with the First Nations protesting the pipeline route through their traditional territories. He spoke to the Western News earlier, when taking part in a rally at the BC Supreme Court in support of protesters undergoing a lawsuit from Kinder Morgan.

“I have 14 grandchildren and I am very concerned about what the future holds for them in terms of the environment,” said Phillip at that time. “We have to undertake these challenges and speak out, be very vocal and visible in our opposition to these proposals that are driven by corporate greed.

Every day, for the past five years, Betty Anstey would enjoy a cold beer at Murphy’s Pub in Oliver.

That all ended on Tuesday when the 73-year-old was struck by two vehicles while crossing Main Street in Oliver and was killed.

The second vehicle did not stop at the scene.

“I’m heartbroken,” said Audrey Evans, who works at the pub.

“She was very caring and if she couldn’t afford a beer she would come in with a can of tuna to give to us.”

Evans said people just fell in love with Anstey, even though she didn’t speak much due to a disability. Evans recalls a customer last Friday who came in and felt Anstey needed a hug. He got his two kids to sit and talk with her for a bit and give her a hug.

“She loved her hugs,” said Evans, who noted the woman

and pick up garbage around town. “She would often sit by herself and this summer a stranger on a motorbike came in and left a $200 tab for Betty so she could come in and have her beer and onion rings.”

Const. Kris Clark, media relations for the Southeast District RCMP, said a 46-yearold man attended the Oliver RCMP detachment on the evening of Nov. 25. He was identified as a suspect in connection with the fatal crash and was released without charges pending further investigation.

On Saturday, Murphy’s Pub is hosting a social to bring together people who knew Anstey to share their memories.

Anyone with information who has yet to speak with Mounties is asked to call Oliver RCMP at 250-4983422 or Crime Stoppers.

Legion not doomed Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Being put under trusteeship doesn’t mean what people think it does, according to Legion president Murray Grandy.

The Penticton Legion branch was placed under trusteeship by the Legion’s B.C. Yukon Command on Nov. 1. According to the release, the operation of the branch will be handled temporarily by Command office with local support.

Grandy said that nothing has changed.

“Command did come here and have a meeting with us, but the local executive is still running the branch,” he said. Command has supplied a person to organize the bar for a while, which Grandy said is a difficult job he is welcome to.

“That is not a big deal and we can always use help for that kind of thing. Otherwise there is nothing really any different than before,” said Grandy. “It is a trusteeship, but people are thinking it is like what they call a hard trustee, when they fire everyone here locally, or kick them out, and then send their own people in. It is nothing like that.

Inga Kruse, executive director of B.C.-Yukon Command, agreed that from the outside little has changed with the operation, but there are some big internal changes in terms of who makes what decisions.

“They have the proceeds of the sale of thier building. We want to make sure they are working on a business plan to get into a new building. They were struggling with that, they were struggling with their finances and they were struggling with their membership,” said Kruse.

question of ‘what’s your plan?’ we have to help them make a plan.”

It’s not an unusual move, according to Kruse, who noted that out of 150 branches, a third might be under some sort of observation or direct involvement at any time.

When a business plan has been developed, Command will bring it to the Penticton membership for a vote, and return full control of the branch to a local executive as soon as matters are sorted out.

This isn’t the first time Command has stepped in at the Penticton legion. In 2009, Command was close to putting a trustee in when there were problems with the local executive, and in 2012, a trustee was brought in to run the operation for several months, until a new executive took over on Jan. 1, 2013.

The current situation is far less severe, said Kruse.

“There is a whole lot less cleanup. We are curating this branch right now,” she said. “We work with the executive. We are just making sure nothing falls off the table.”

Kruse also said Command is dedicated to keeping the doors open in Penticton.

“We would never have put this much effort and resource into a branch that we didn’t think was an important branch,” she said.

“They have a really good membership base, they just haven’t done some of the stuff they need to do to guarantee their future.”

But Grandy said that as far as he is concerned, it is business as usual for the Penticton Legion.

Since the sale of their building to John Vassilaki, he said the Legion’s position has improved.

“I think things are coming along a little better than last year,” said Grandy, noting that in their elections for executive on Nov. 17, they had nine people trying for the five available positions.

“We had to have a election and come up with five, which is a pretty good sign,” said Grandy, adding that in the past, it has been difficult to find enough people to fill the seats.

Grandy was returned as president and will be joined by Jim DeMarce as first vice-president, Ivo Jaager as second vice-president, Joyce Peace as treasurer and secretary Marina Ashley.

Replant to bring thousands of jobs Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

A new seven-year, $8.4 million provincial replant program will revitalize the tree fruit industry, according to the B.C. Fruit Growers Association.

“The replant program will kickstart the rebuilding, and redirection of the Tree Fruit Industry for the 21st Century,” said BCFGA president Fred Steele in a release.

That’s not an exaggeration, according to Steele, who explains a new industry strategy is being developed to create more inventory and jobs through some innovative thinking, and the new replant program is the lynchpin to making them work.

One concept under development is to work with New Zealand and exchange fruit during each country’s off season.

“We will hopefully send them pre-sort fruit to run over their graders and give them jobs in their summer season,” said Steele. Then, in B.C.’s quiet season, fruit could be brought in from New Zealand, creating year-round jobs in both countries, and fresh fruit year round.

More processing capability would also allow both countries to build larger inventories of fruit.

Developing niche markets is another concept.

“In Korea right now, there is a 45 per cent tariff. In five to seven years there will be no tariff,” said Steele. “How long will it take

us to get that up and running? Five to seven years.”

Key to all of these developments, though, is the replant program, allowing growers to remove varieties like Red Delicious apples that have fallen out of favour, and replace them with more saleable fruits like Ambrosia or Gala.

Replanting costs between $25,000 and $30,000 per acre for a high-density orchard, according to the BCFGA. Converting to new, high quality varieties of cherries, pears, peaches, nectarines and plums means greater consumer acceptance and higher returns to tree fruit operations.

“We are talking about building inventories, we are talking about going to new variet-

ies that are profitable and phasing out the ones that aren’t,” said Steele. “We have to stop trying to find the cent a pound every year and do some things differently. And if we don’t we may as well all pack up and go home.”

Growers will be able to apply for grants beginning April 1, 2015 through to the 2021 season. An estimated 1,500 acres of orchards will be replanted over the length of the program, providing an estimated 2,600 jobs each year in the Okanagan.

“We are proud of the heritage of B.C.’s tree fruit industry and we look forward to continuing our partnership in promoting highvalue, high-quality B.C. fruit so our growers can earn more dollars,” said Norm Letnick, minister of agriculture.

Warm up event Help Prevent Heart Attacks with hosted at library Vitamin C and Lysine Powder Western News Staff

The Penticton Public Library is inviting the public to come inside and warm up for an evening.

The Community Holiday Warm-up is being held on Dec. 4 in cooperation with the Penticton Museum to fill the entire building with fun and educational activities.

The night starts at 5 p.m. and will include caroling, hot apple cider and fun festive games for young and old.

A holiday storytelling will be taking place at 7 p.m. For ages three and up. A Santa scavenger hunt will offer up a chance to explore the museum as well. There will also be upcycled book crafts for all ages.

“We’re using old, discarded books to create crafts. So they don’t get wasted, they actually get made into something hopefully useful and attractive,” said Julia

Cox, the youth services librarian with the Penticton Public Library.

The South Okanagan Genealogical Society, a non-profit organization that promotes the collection, distribution and publication of genealogical research, will be hosting an open house inviting visitors to stop by and learn more about the society.

This is an all-ages event and visitors don’t require children to attend. There will be suggested non-perishable food donations towards the Food Bank which are encouraged but not required to attend.

The library hopes to bring people in from the snow and cold for some entertainment and activity during the darkest time of the year.

“Hopefully it’s a way to have a good time on a dark evening,” Cox said.

hy is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack.

Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack.

Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent.

But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies.

The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day.

This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors.

As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine!

I turned 90 this year.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries.

Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal.

I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.

Difficulties in localizing the federal election The federal Liberals have a policy resolution that says prostitution is a “legitimate service” that should be taxed “just like any other commercial enterprise.”

With the municipal election behind us and a provincial vote 30 months away, our political divining rod naturally dipped toward the federal election, which is scheduled for Oct. 19, 2015.

We suspect it will be difficult for candidates across the country to localize the federal election. Perhaps it’s fair to say the federal election really isn’t about local issues.

Does that mean it’s the candidates’ job to translate Ottawa to us, tell us what’s important and explain the stance of their parties on these issues?

Does anyone wonder why people are losing faith and interest in the political process?

We digress. Back to the Liberals. As we went looking for some federal election angle, we stumbled upon the Liberal Party of Canada’s (B.C. chapter) policy resolutions. They are not official campaign planks yet. And we didn’t just go cherry-picking to highlight this particular resolution — it’s number two on the Liberal’s 10 prioritized policies.

The preamble to the resolution is sound, logical stuff that speaks to the marginalization of the most vulnerable people in our society. It speaks about how limiting sex trade workers to the street puts them at a greater risk of human trafficking, assault, murder, and other violent and malicious crimes.

The resolution suggests the party will table PENTICTON WESTERN a bill in the House of Commons ensuring sex trade workers are legally able to secure all materials and spaces required to run a safe and successful business, with a proper business licence.

And to think we believed this federal election was going to be boring.

“Global” terrorism index

“We will not be cowed by these sick terrorists,” said British Prime Minister David Cameron after ISIS produced a grisly video of the mass beheading of Syrian captives by foreign jihadis who allegedly includeing British fighters.

“We will not be intimidated,” said Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper after the recent attacks in Montreal and Ottawa. As if the purpose of terrorist attacks in Western countries was to cow and intimidate them.

You hear this sort of rhetoric from Western leaders all the time, but Harper went further, and demonstrated exactly how they get it wrong. “(This) will lead us to ... redouble our efforts to work with our allies around the world and fight against the terrorist organizations who brutalise those in other countries with the hope of bringing their savagery to our shores. They will have no safe haven.” Sound familiar?

Sure enough, there are now half a dozen Canadian planes bombing ISIS jihadis in Iraq (although it’s unlikely that either of the Canadian attackers, both converts to radical Islam, had any contact with foreign terrorist organizations). But Harper has got the logic completely backwards.

The purpose of major terrorist activities directed at the West, from the 9/11 attacks to ISIS videos, is not to “cow” or “intimidate” Western countries.

It is to get those countries to bomb Muslim countries or, better yet, invade them. The terrorists want to come to power in

Gwynne Dyer

Dyer Straits Muslim countries, not in Canada or Britain or the U.S. And the best way to establish your revolutionary credentials and recruit local supporters is to get the West to attack you.

That’s what Osama bin Laden wanted in 2001. (He hoped for an American invasion of Afghanistan, but he got an unexpected bonus in the U.S. invasion of Iraq.) The ISIS videos of Western hostages being beheaded are intended to get Western countries involved in the fight against them, because that’s how you build local support. So far, the strategy is working just fine.

The “Global Terrorism Index,” published annually by the Institute for Economics and Peace, reported last week that fatalities due to terrorism have risen fivefold in the 13 years since the 9/11 attacks, despite the US-led “war on terror” that has spent $4.4 trillion on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and anti-terrorist operations elsewhere. But it’s not really “despite” those wars. It’s large-

ly because of them.

The invasions, the drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen and Africa, the whole lumbering apparatus of the “global war on terrorism” have not killed the terrorist beast. They have fed it, and the beast has grown very large. 3,361 people were killed by terrorism in 2000; 17,958 were killed by it last year.

At least 80 per cent of these people were Muslims, and the vast majority of those who killed them were also Muslims: the terrorists of Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq and Syria, Boko Haram in Nigeria, the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and al-Qaeda and its offspring in other parts of the world (like al-Shebab in north-east Africa).

That is not to say that terrorism is a particularly Muslim technique. Its historical roots lie in European struggles against oppressive regimes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and it gained huge currency in liberation struggles against the European colonial empires after the Second World War. Even the Stern Gang in Israel and the Irish Republican Army can be seen as part of this wave.

Later waves of fashion in terrorism included the European, Latin American and Japanese “urban terrorist” movements of the 1970s and 80s – Baader-Meinhof Gang in Germany, Red Brigades in Italy, Montoneros in Argentina, Japanese Red Army and so on – none of which has any political success at all. Specifically “Islamic” terrorism really begins only in the 1990s, with the rise of radical, anachronistic forms

of Sunni Islam.

Only about five per cent of the victims of this latest wave of terrorism lived in developed countries, but it was their deaths, and their governments’ ignorant responses to them, that provided the fuel for the spectacular growth of jihadi extremism. So what can be done about it?

The Global Terrorism Index has some useful observations to offer about that, too. It points out that a great many terrorist organisations have actually gone out of business in the past 45 years.

Only 10 per cent of them actually won, took power, and disbanded their terrorist wings.

And only seven per cent were eliminated by the direct application of military force.

Eighty per cent of them were ended by a combination of better policing and the creation of a political process that addressed the grievances of those who supported the terrorism. You don’t fix the problem by fighting poverty or raising educational levels; that kind of thing has almost nothing to do with the rise of terrorism.

You have to deal with the particular grievances that obsess specific ethnic, religious or political groups.

And above all, keep foreigners out of the process. Their interventions always make matters worse.

Affected by weather changes I am a middle aged woman with invisible disabilities, other than that people will see me walking with a cane or walker.

It could have easily been me and my apartment in that Fairview Apartment fire.

I live in a very old building and the owners unfortunately do not like to fix anything until it’s completely at end. Thus my electric heating went on that Friday into a mode that was as hot as a dangerously very high heated oven. I did manage to get a hold of the management contact for the building who did what they could to connect me with their fix-it man. It took the entire weekend, with two time periods where my inside of apartment was as cold as outside. By the Monday evening, even though I now had cough/cold/ flu symptoms for which I had to get over the

counter help, I at least had heat. I thank the workman, you know who you are for getting me my heat back.

Thus in the wee hours (4 a.m.) when my body awoke me, the first thing I noticed was no number lights on my alarm clock and how dark it was around me and I was scared.

After I stumbled and found my flashlight and then took note that my entire building was dark, it was a relief to know it was not just my suite.

I then looked out my patio windows to see the wet snow still flying and the huge amount that had fallen. I also took note that a two block radius was blackened out. This is not a day for me that I can just stay in bed until whatever, it is a volunteer day.

Thank goodness for cooking timers at

times like this and so I set it for one hour thinking I’d have to do that times the number of one hour sets to awake for my day. Again, I thank whomever in this city fixes situations like that, for by 5:15 a.m. the alarm clock was back on along with power and lights for the building and around the block.

I took pictures when it was all blackened for I felt some would not believe me as I’d already been laughed at last night as I expressed to some the weather report for this week. Thank you to the workmen/women who take care of such matters so that we can have heat and etc. I guess I’ll be really leaning on my cane as I go to my volunteer position today.

Penticton heroes

Locally the Grandmothers for Africa have, with your support, raised more than $110,000 for this cause. While the ongoing work is wonderful the job is not done.

Recently the Grandmothers for Africa were able to send more than $2,000 to the Stephen Lewis Foundation from the sale of Kazuri Jewelry and Sock Monkeys at Theo’s Restaurant. In January the Thursday Night Jazz Band have offered their services for a performance on Jan. 22 at the Barking Parrot in the Lakeside Resort. Watch for details of these events and help us turn the tide on this pandemic.

There were at least three pivotal issues in Penticton. This should have ensured the record turnout that heavy advance polls indicated. New voters; long line-ups effectively shut down the system. Many seniors are unable to stand in line for an hour. Examine the lower than normal vote count and draw your own conclusions. Cranbrook had pivotal issues; their entire council bit the dust.

Summerland with pivotal issues dramatically changed their council. That is normal.

Penticton is abnormal.

Penticton has held many elections; was the combination of civil service/council mishandling deliberate? Closing the second poll station effectively suppressed the vote.

Kelowna with three times the population had 13 polls open for the election. Penticton had one.

Who were all the ‘biker types’ flooding the poll place to register to vote for the first time? Where did all those ‘biker’ votes go?

Do that many bikers really live here? Examine the vote count and draw your own conclusions. ElectionsBC has jurisdiction over financing of election campaigns. Municipalities oversee their own elections through the framework of the Municipal Charter.

They are responsible to ensure open, fair and honest elections. Voters list, scrutineers, counting machines; any irregularities can be reported to the municipality; if they fail to act; next step is the RCMP. “Many voters are sceptical of these election results: Conspiracy theories; right or wrong; are easy to debunk.“ - Western editorial, Nov 19. Turn all voting materials over to the RCMP: The City’s registered voters list; the signed registering voters list; RCMP should verify all new voters registered in this election; all paper ballots; material and all machinery used in this election whatsoever whether it is vote counting machines; memory cards; computers or laptops. Voter scepticism of a rigged election combined with voter suppression whether intended or not; leaves council’s mandate dubious. Hold a new election; repair the broken trust. Voters are entitled to more than this screw-up for the next four years.

Remove the local civil servants from the election. Open adequate polls; encourage experienced scrutineers from the community at large to coalesce as a group to monitor all aspects of the election.

People of Penticton; you are entitled to have your vote in an open; fair; responsible and accountable election. You did not have this. What happens next is your decision.

Oct. 18 I was rushed to the hospital with a major heart attack. In less than an hour I was in ICU, for five days.

Dr. Kincade and the ICU nurses were very concerned, very caring, helpful, informative and treated me like family. Doctor Kincade and the ICU nurses were outstanding in their service to me. Even though I am 88 years old, they saved my life! Penticton, you are so lucky to have such caring people at the hospital. All my best wishes to the ICU department for your fantastic service.

May Santa treat you royally.

Message comes out of ballot boxes

In the recent federal byelections, the people of Yellowhead and Whitby-Oshawa spoke; the Conservatives held on to the two seats they already had, but there’s much more to the story.

These were the 14th and 15th byelections since the Harper majority in 2011 and the results continued a strong trend. The Liberal share of the vote rose again, dramatically, and the NDP vote share dropped again. In Alberta’s Yellowhead riding, a Conservative bastion, the Liberal vote increased from 2.8 per cent in 2011 to 20 per cent. In Whitby-Oshawa the Liberal vote share jumped from 14 per cent to 41 per cent. By-elections are considered a safe way for dissatisfied voters to send a message to government. In a string of by-elections since 2011, the message they are consistently sending is that they consider the Liberals, under Justin Trudeau’s leadership, to be the real alternative to Harperism.

These are not opinion poll results, these are actual votes. The prime example of this was in Toronto last June, where the NDP lost the seat vacated by Olivia Chow to the Liberals. Despite his best efforts, NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair is not connecting with Canadians and Justin Trudeau is.

If voters in the South Okanagan-West Kootenay riding want to get rid of Harper in 2015, they might want to consider the message coming out of ballot boxes across the country over the past three years.

WALLA ARTISAN BAKERY owner Benjamin Manea takes some baked goods out of the oven in the kitchen of the bakery in The Cannery on Nov. 22.

Dale Boyd/Western News

The rise of traditional baking Dale Boyd Western News Staff

At 2 a.m. most restaurants are wrapping up their night, but artisan baker Benjamin Manea is just starting his day.

The owner, baker and chef of Walla Artisan Bakery wakes up earlier than most because he puts a premium on something missing in a high-speed society, time.

“This is a culture of fast solutions. We are looking for the fast pill. I want to look beautiful and lose weight fast,” Manea said.

The food he produces takes time, fermenting and baking loaves of bread over a period of days, and it is an ingredient he feels is missing from much of what we eat today.

Manea will be speaking at the Okanagan College Penticton campus in a session titled Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Bread on Dec. 1.

“I’m trying to educate people. Some are open-minded and like to know more about it. Some people are afraid because they say how come I’ve been eating this bread for 30 years and you say it is no good for me. It’s hard to accept,” Manea said.

More chemist than baker, Manea’s kitchen features unconventional items like the centrifuge he uses to separate ingredients, such as tomatoes, into their core components. When it comes to food it is easy to talk about flavour and taste, but Manea breaks his food preparation down to the particle level.

“I approached baking in a scientific way.

It’s more than just water, flour and salt, there is a chemical process happening there,” he said.

When thinking about making food from

scratch in a traditional, artisan style, chemistry and thermodynamics isn’t the first thing that comes to mind, but it’s a large part of his meticulous process.

Born in Romania, Manea was raised in a family that made food and wine from scratch. His knowledge on food preparation is extensive and draws from both chemistry and biological science as well as traditional methods.

His upcoming talk will bring attention to bread, a commodity he feels many people pick up at the grocery store without much thought. Manea said that most people who grew up on industrially-made, commercial grocery store bread are unaware of the effects it has on their bodies.

Most store-bought bread does contain Azodicarbonamide. (ADA) which shows up on the ingredients list of breads as enriched flour and can be found in everything from pizza dough to hamburger buns throughout fast food chains and grocery stores in Canada. The additive creates more air pockets to create fluffier bread.

There is a limit in Canada on how much ADA, also famous for being an ingredient in plastic products and yoga mats, is allowed

in food, 45 PPM (parts per million), which Health Canada has deemed safe to eat. However, the use of ADA has been banned in Europe and Australia.

Manea said this is just one facet of storebought bread that disrupts our natural digestive systems.

The mass-produced bread also lacks a hard crust, which expedites the staling process.

This, Manea said, is why the bread comes in plastic bags, to contain the moisture.

“This is also no good because it creates mold,” Manea said.

He added that most people will put their bread in the fridge after a few days on the counter to help keep it fresh.

“In the fridge the staling process is six times faster. You can’t win with this.”

The high-speed production of these loaves is based on making mass quantities of bread to meet a high demand according to Manea.

“When kids are raised on this soft commercial bread, at some point your stomach will tell you I can’t take it anymore,” Manea said.

He said the long-form method of fermenting the loaf not only makes the bread taste better, but puts the food in tune with your body’s natural processes.

“The focaccia bun has a crust. It forces you to chew. It’s a naturally occurring process, so we digest properly,” Manea said.

He will also be discussing the role of gluten and the trend of gluten-free products.

“Every once in awhile comes a new idea.

Atkins, no carbs, there was a fad of zero fat, a fad on whole grains,” Manea said.

He said he had a customer with a celiac daughter. He encouraged them to try his bread, and she was able to eat it without issue.

“Gluten breaks down differently during fermentation,” said Manea. He said the high-speed manufacturing of bread in grocery stores doesn’t allow the gluten to break down properly causing issue for those who have a gluten sensitivity.

It’s not only what is going into our bodies either, but how. Lifestyle choices, health and food are all tied together said Manea.

“A good diet is about sitting down and eating together with other people, not in front of a T.V. or computer, so we’re eating for a longer time and we can digest properly,” Manea said.

“It’s the secret to a good life, slow down.

This is it, there’s nothing magic here. There’s no magic pill.”

Manea’s talk will be part of the Okanagan College Speakers Series from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the lecture theatre at the Penticton campus. Admission is free or by donation to the Okanagan College Student Emergency Fund.

CANADIAN TENOR Ken Lavigne will be joining the B.C. Boys Choir on Dec. 5 at the Cleland Theatre performing some songs from his new Christmas album Comfort and Joy.

Lavigne to join Boys Choir Dale Boyd

Western News Staff

Canadian tenor Ken Lavigne is a man who isn’t afraid to dream big.

The singer, composer and all-around entertainer set out on a lofty endeavour in 2009 to perform at New York City’s famed Carnegie Hall, a goal he was able to accomplish, performing to over 1,200 people.

He isn’t done yet. Now, Lavigne has his sights set on another famed venue, the world famous Sydney Opera House.

“I know that it will happen,” Lavigne said. His goal is to perform in Sydney by July 2015.

“It’s a sustained sprint,” Lavigne laughed.

While he works towards knocking another high-profile

venue off the bucket list, Lavigne is touring his most recent release, a Christmas album titled Comfort and Joy. Lavigne will be joining the B.C. Boys Choir at the Cleland Theatre on Dec. 5 for Penticton Community Concert’s second show of the season.

The performance in Penticton will mark the first time Lavigne has performed with the B.C. Boys Choir. However, he’s already a fan.

“They’re really good. I’ve heard them perform and they are absolutely amazing,” Lavigne said.

The director of the choir reached out to Lavigne in the summer, and he was happy to find out the show fit into his schedule.

“It’s something I’m really passionate about. These young

kids, if they are interested in singing and want to continue, I think maybe I can pass on some insight to them and see if they want to continue on with their career,” Lavigne said.

The performance will feature some songs from Comfort and Joy, albeit scaled back from their original versions recorded with the Vancouver Island Symphony at the Port Theatre in Nanaimo.

This isn’t Lavigne’s first Christmas album, he and a friend put one together five years ago, however it’s a much more concerted effort this time around.

“I was still really green in terms of recording and we just kind of did the best with what we had,” Lavigne said, adding his first Christmas effort was made with himself, his friend

and a computer in a basement.

The latest album took a year and a half from the original concept to completion.

The songs on Comfort and Joy will encompass a range of Christmas-themed music.

“I do delve into the more classical division of Christmas songs and Christmas carols, but there’s also, I don’t know if you’d call them modern, but Bing Crosby and classic white Christmas songs about the season that are perennial favourites,” For more information on Lavigne visit www.kenlavigne.com and to find out more about the B.C. Boys Choir visit www.bcboyschoir.org Tickets are available for $30, as well as $5 discounted tickets for students, at the Shatford Centre.

Tracy Fehr is heading back to Tunisia, Africa once again early next year.

She will be bringing donations from her benefit concerts to the ACT (Association for Cooperation in Tunisia) to support unwed mothers and marginalized women in the North African country.

Fehr’s Voices in Song Christmas Benefit Concert on Nov. 29 at the Lakeside Presbyterian Church will feature herself, some of her students and guest performers Dennis Nordlund and Elizabeth Lupton, with proceeds going towards a cause Fehr has become increasingly involved in over the years.

“I’ve always wanted to use my music for a greater cause than just a performance. It’s wonderful to give this gift and the audience feels good, but at the same time to make a bigger difference, a wider and global difference,” Fehr said.

Owner of the Tracy Fehr Voice Studio, Fehr was asked to perform some music back in 2008 when a woman working in Tunisia, who had family in Summerland, came to talk about women’s issues at a local church.

HEARTBURN HELP Gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD) is a common gastrointestinal disorder which affects about 10% 20% of the western world. It occurs when stomach acid refluxes back into the esophageus, resulting in heartburn.

Other symptoms of GERD include a sour or bitter taste in the back of the mouth, excessive saliva, belching, stomach upset and vomiting.

Mild GERD symptoms are often effectively managed with over-thecounter medications and lifestyle modifications.

Recommendations include eating smaller meals more frequently, not laying down for 2-3 hours after eating, reducing alcohol and caffeine intake, stopping smoking, losing excess weight and elevating the head of your bed 6 inches higher than the foot of the bed (or using a wedge

pillow specially designed to reduce heartburn). There is also a number of foods that can trigger GERD symptoms such as chocolate, fried and fatty foods, acidic foods such as tomatoes and oranges, garlic, onions, peppermint and spicy foods. Avoiding these foods may help reduce frequency and severity of symptoms.

If lifestyle modifications and OTC products are not sufficient to manage your symptoms it is important to visit your doctor who may prescribe a stronger acid suppressant. You should also see your physician if your symptoms last longer than 2 weeks, you experience severe chest pain, you experience difficulty or pain swallowing, or are vomiting blood or having black tarry stools.

“She said there was real need for women to be helped to start businesses or get training as well, so that they have some sort of income to support their children,” Fehr said.

Fehr has since been performing benefit concerts for ACT in both Canada and Tunisia to raise funds for women in need. The orginization deals with women of high risk, particularly moms, who have children and no source of income or any way to provide for their children. ACT funding helps these women set up small home-based businesses so they can sustain a living.

There has been an evolution on the topic of supporting marginalized women since Fehr started working with the orginization.

“Through this project more government agencies are realizing there is a need for this. We’ve gotten a lot more support from government programs as well. That’s quite wonderful to see,” Fehr said.

She added community organizations in Tunisia are now getting more involved as well.

The money raised goes toward enabling women in Tunisia through a variety of different funding projects including the purchase of a

loom to help a woman maintain a small business in her home as well as sending women to school for training in nursing, baking, weaving and other traditional skills.

“Last Christmas we raised money for one artisan who was able to purchase a moped so she could take her wares to market. She had no transportation before that,” Fehr said.

ACT has workers that operate out of centres in Tunisia, finding the right fit matching funding to women in need. Workers also meet with the women who receive the funding monthly to ensure they are receiving the right support to become self sustaining. The centres also provide counselling for mothers and children.

“It is definitely a long-term relationship with these women,” Fehr said.

The upcoming concert in Penticton will feature Fehr and some of her more advanced students performing Christmas songs along with Dennis Nordlund on piano and Elizabeth Lupton on violin.

Tickets are $12 in advance and can be purchased at the Penticton and District Arts Council or by phone at 250-486-5073. Tickets will be $15 at the door.

This year’s campaign, Get BEDDER Care will help fund the purchase of technically advanced patient care beds at Penticton Regional Hospital (PRH) for the Surgical department where the most complex injuries, surgeries and wounds are treated.

A bed is the one item that touches every single patient receiving care at PRH. The goal is bold but these urgently needed beds are critical. To complete the campaign we must raise $250,000.

Years ago when studying at university, I used to go to the sound library and pick out obscure recordings on strange instruments to keep myself amused. On one occasion, I listened to the eerie sounds of an instrument that sounded like the mix of a human voice, a violin and a musical saw.

The recording was of a theremin, an electric device developed in the 1920s. The musician would wave his hands over two antennas protruding from a box-like contraption. One antenna would change the pitch and the other the volume. Although

the theremin’s sound can now be made on a synthesizer, you can hear the real deal in some ‘60s sci fi movies, and more popularly in the Beach Boys song Good Vibrations.

The theremin didn’t ever become a household item like the piano. But many more people are going to know about the instrument, thanks to this year’s Scotia Bank Giller Prize winning book, Us Conductors by Sean Michaels.

Michaels has fictionalized the life of the instrument’s inventor, Lev Termen.

A Russian scientist in Leningrad during the Bolshevik Revolution, he accidentally invented the instrument while working on another device.

According to Michaels, Termen then toured Europe with the instrument, and then went to America where he gave concerts and taught master classes.

After years in

America, being watched over by Russian agents and forced to become a spy, Termen was sent to the gulag in Siberia. After miraculously avoiding death at the camp, Termen was transferred to a prison for scientists.

There, he was forced to invent contraptions for the Russians, including a bug that was planted in the American embassy.

With such biographical material, I found it odd that Michaels chose to centre his book on Termen’s unrequited love for the virtuoso theremin player Clara Rockmore. In real life, not much is known about their possible relationship. Why fabricate, when in this case, truth really is stranger than fiction.

I was more interested in Michaels’ exploration of Termen’s survival skills – how does a person cope when moving from one type of imprisonment to another?

Even while hobnob-

bing in American jazz clubs, and seemingly free, Termen was under surveillance and forced to meet Soviet demands. His American friends were unaware of the pressure he was under – and although surrounded by people, Termen often felt completely alone.

Michaels also accomplishes the truly difficult in this book: he is able to write convincingly about the sounds of the theremin. Even if you’ve never heard one before, by the end of the book you will feel as if you had.

This year’s other Giller Prize nominees were: Miriam Toew’s All My Puny Sorrows, Heather O’Neill’s The Girl who was Saturday Night, Frances Itani’s Tell, David Bezmozgis’ The Betrayers, and Padma Viswanathan’s The Ever After of Ashwin Rao. Heather Allen is a book reviewer living in Penticton.

Jaxon Stel, a Grade 12 student at Penticton Secondary Scool, journeyed through the northwest Passage on the Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker vessel the CCGS amundsen. Stel was able to take part in the Schools on Board program which takes students from across Canada out of the classroom and into the Canadian arctic.

Teen returns from Arctic Jaxon Stel, 17, returned from the Canadian Arctic in October and he now has some once-in-a-lifetime stories to tell.

“One night just before we hit ice, a couple of the students stayed up really late and we were able to drive the boat,” Stel said. “That was the highlight. I can say I’ve driven an icebreaker through the Northwest Passage and that’s incredible.”

Stel and 14 other students from across Canada headed out on a scientific expedition on Sept. 22, spending just over 10 days on the CCGS Amundsen, a T1200 class medium Arctic icebreaker and Arctic research vessel operated by the Canadian Coast Guard.

Stel took advantage of the opportunity to head up North when vice principal of KVR Middle School Jennifer Wingham presented the Schools on Board Program to students in the area. Schools on Board provides high school students a chance to get out of the classroom and

on to a research vessel in the Arctic to get some hands on experience.

Stel was drawn to the program by his interest in the Arctic and Arctic climate change. He submitted an essay on why he was interested in the program which focused on the future effects of climate change in the Okanagan.

“We don’t know a lot about what is going on in the Arctic. There is so much to figure out because it’s one of the areas in the world with the least amount of research about what is going on there climate changewise,” Stel said.

Stel’s essay was selected out of the eight students who applied in the area. He said his interest in the front lines and the future of climate change was cited as the reason he was selected for the trip.

“We don’t really see a lot of the impacts here in the Okanagan, but definitely going up to the Arctic we saw a lot of early ice melting and rising sea levels around northern communities,” Stel said.

After meeting up with the other students, who came from across

Canada, Stel said the group was quick to become friends as they headed to the small community of Kugluktuk in Nunavut. There they visited a newly opened heritage centre and were introduced to some of the unique aspects of life up North.

The scenery was like nothing he had ever seen before.

“One of the most incredible parts of the trip was seeing the landscape. I’d never been north of B.C. before, and just being able to see the terrain and everything it was beautiful,” Stel said. “We got to go through the Northwest Passage, it was amazing.”

He added a big change for him was the stark lack of trees.

After visiting Kugluktuk, the group headed out with the coast guard, joined by some working scientists who gave the students presentations on what their particular area of study was, and what they were working

on the trip through the Arctic Ocean.

“We got some really interesting presentations from most of the scientists on what they were doing while they were there,” Stel said.

The students then joined in on field sampling with scientists on the expedition. They stopped in fjords with low water turbulence and took box core samples for analysis. Each scientist was using different data from the samples for different studies, from sea-floor organisms to sediment.

“The one I enjoyed most was the zooplankton sampling. They put big nets in the water and brought up a ton of sea life and we filtered through that and picked out the zooplankton. It was very fun,” Stel said.

The trip was a learning experience based on the collection of scientific data, but Stel found inspiration from another source that he acted on immediately.

A decision to rescind Summerland’s controversial land exchange will be the first order of business once the new municipal council takes office.

Mayor-elect Peter Waterman said the resolution will be on the agenda at the first meeting of the new council. The council will be sworn in on Dec. 1 and the first scheduled meeting is Dec. 8.

During the election campaign, he had announced that if elected the first order of business for the new council would be a recommendation to withdraw the application before the Agricultural Land Commission.

The municipality’s proposed Urban Growth Plan called for the removal of 80.34 hectares of land within the Agricultural Land Reserve near the core of the community. In exchange, 91.7 hectares in the Prairie Valley area would be added to the land reserve. The application is now before the Agricultural Land Commission.

As a member of the outgoing council, Waterman was the sole member opposed to the land exchange. The land exchange was needed for the new growth plan. One that municipalities in British Colum-

bia are required to have in place to accommodate future growth.

“There are a number of options that can be discussed,” municipal planner Ian McIntosh said. “We’ll see what council’s direction is.”

Waterman said the municipality will revert to the growth plan in the existing Official Community Plan for now. Summerland’s community plan, adopted in 2008, received council support in a 4-3 decision.

Amendments were later made, in 2009 and 2010.

Waterman said growth can be accommodated by infilling and through subdivisions which are ready to go. The Wharton Street project would also provide development close to the downtown core.

In the past decade, two developers have expressed a strong interest in a development for Wharton Street, at the site of the existing museum and library.

“There’s potential. It just takes the right conditions,” Waterman said.

During the election campaign, other members elected to the new council had also stated their opposition to the plan. Work on the Urban Growth Plan began early in 2013 and came to public hearing early this year, after roughly a year of preparation.

DAY of CARing — BMo Bank of Montreal employee Jeannie Lajoie joined several staff members to do some yard cleanup at the South okanagan Women in need Society transition house recently. The work is part of the ongoing United Way Day of Caring program.

A: Most people enjoy minty fresh toothpaste – but would you ever consider starting your day with a mouthful of seaweed or coconut oil?

According to a study by Athlone Institute of Technology in Ireland, coconut oil can prevent tooth decay by reducing the amount of bacteria that can stick to the surface of your teeth. Coconut oil can also be used to eliminate specific types of bacteria that can cause tooth decay.

Cavities and tooth decay are a major issue which affects 60-90% of children as well as the majority of adults. Researchers suggest that the addition of coconut oil in toothpaste and mouthwash can help people combat tooth decay more effectively. It is also suggested that dental hygienist can use coconut oil during regular cleaning and check up appointments to target specific types of bacteria. The coconut oil will first have to be treated with digestive enzymes, which will enable it to target harmful bacteria and prevent tooth decay. The health concerns that may stem from coconut oil as well as the benefits have yet to be further researched, so don’t add coconut oil from your pantry to your toothpaste just yet.

Meanwhile, researchers from Newcastle University have discovered a secret weapon to target tooth decay: seaweed. Bacteria can form a slimy shield on your teeth - a major cause of plaque build-up and tooth decay.

Regular brushing can scrub off this plaque and bacteria, but it is not always effective if the bacteria have already formed this type of shield.

Bacillus licheniformis, found on the surface of seaweed, releases an enzyme that forces the bacteria to break down that shield—making it more vulnerable and easier to clean. Bacillus licheniformis was originally used to clean ship hulls, which is where researchers first discovered the other possible uses for this particular enzyme. Further research is being done on the uses of coconut oil and seaweed in oral health products— so don’t be surprised if you eventually see “coconut oil mouthwash” or “seaweed toothpaste” in the oral health aisle in your local grocery store.

You’ll be ahead of the curve and well-educated in its benefits against tooth decay and plaque build-up.

PENTICTON DRAGON Boat Festival was featured on KSPS TV Spokane on Nov. 20 and organizers are excited at the potential growth it can bring.

Mark Brett/Western News

Dragon boats paddle to TV spotlight Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Penticton Dragon Boat Festival stepped out of the shadows of the city’s well known sporting events after being featured on Northwest Profiles.

“It’s a sizable event,” said Launa Maundrell, president of the Penticton Dragon Boat Festival Society, who along with her husband Don Mulhall, the race director, purchased the event’s equipment from Go Rowing and Paddling Association of Canada in Victoria which managed the event before.

“Challenge is what everybody knows. This is a really major event. It’s comparable if not larger. If you don’t come to Skaha, you don’t even know it’s there.”

Maundrell constantly finds people who have never heard of the event, or, come down to see it and are blown away by how big the festival is. Because the festival doesn’t require many volunteers or any road closures to operate successfully, she said it goes unnoticed. That could change as the festival’s TV debut was aired Nov. 20 to start the 28th season of Northwest Profiles on KSPS Public TV in Spokane, Wash.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better video production if we had paid them,” said Maundrell. “It’s a really nice mix

of the history of the sport in Penticton and what it has grown into. It shows all the positive aspects of the festival.”

Linking the nine minute film on the PDBF website and Facebook page, it has reached more than 7,000 people. That doesn’t include the stations viewership in the U.S., B.C. and Alberta. Maundrell said they intend to use the video as a marketing tool to hopefully attract more teams and she added it shows off the city nicely.

Lynn Veltrie, operations manager and producer for KSPS, knew of the event a year before coming to Penticton this past summer with his two-person crew. Veltrie, host of Northwest Profiles, said they love coming to the Okanagan because there is always some great things happening. They also make a point to travel to Canada every year for stories.

The response has been great and Veltrie praised Mulhall for the job he did.

“I was happy with it,” said Veltrie, who completed the feature in 40 hours after they spent the weekend in Penticton and used photos provided by Mulhall. “I judge how it was successful in the organizers and the people who told their story and if they were happy with it. They were ecstatic.

“You only have a short period of time to tell. That’s a

pretty big event,” he continued. “That festival is so well organized. I think it’s one of the reasons it’s so well respected.

The people were great to work with.”

Last year the festival had 73 teams of 20 paddlers. Mulhall would like to see the numbers increase to between 80 to 90 teams.

Mayor-elect Andrew Jakubeit was excited to see Penticton and the festival showcased.

“It’s an event that we should all be proud of,” said Jakubeit. “In a weekend in September, when tourism season starts to lag a bit, to have a very well respected and renowned dragon boat festival here in Penticton is good. This TV station services the Pacific Northwest in the U.S. and Alberta and B.C. It’s showcasing Penticton in a fun, positive light.”

The festival is entering it’s 15th year next September is now completely operated from Penticton after having been managed by Go Rowing and Paddling Association of Canada — a not-for-profit society, which ceased operation last winter.

ANDREW HOWELL flashes the leather for the Penticton Sherwood Trophies peewee tier 2 Vees during a 4-0 win against the Castlegar Rebels at the South Okanagan Events Centre. The Vees lost in the semifinal of the tournament they hosted over the weekend.

Peewee Vees fall short Western News Staff

Penticton Sherwood Trophies Vees peewee tier 2 team fell one win short of advancing to the championship game of their own tournament over the weekend.

The Vees won their opening three games before bowing to the North Shore Winter Club 4-1, who would go on to lose in the final to Burnaby Minor Hockey 4-2.

Brennan Nelson scored the lone Vees goal in the semifinal loss.

The Vees opened with a 4-0 win against the

Castlegar Rebels. Stephen Searcy scored twice, while Ben LeFranc and Owel Labadie scored the other goals. Andrew Howell earned the shutout.

In a 5-1 win over Mission, the Vees spread out their offense with goals by Levi Carter, LeFranc, Ethan O’Rourke, Kai Espenhain and Labadie. In their final round robin game, the Vees cruised past Ridge Meadows Rustlers 7-3. Carter led with a fourgoal effort, while O’Rourke, Sam Togyi and Nicolas Eacott rounded out the scoring.

The tournament’s most inspirational players were Togyi, Tanner Johnson (twice) and Eacott sponsored by Penticton Speedway Hornets.

“Assistant coach Steve Cawley’s passing,” said Harbinson, which drew laughs in the coaching staff’s office.

“You have to develop skill every week,” said Harbinson. “It was a little bit of a fun skill day for them. It makes it a challenge. It makes it fun.”

Vees assistant captain Jack Ramsey agreed.

“A little competition between the guys. It really pushes us, kind of gets you out of your element,” said Ramsey. “Shooting quick and shooting in that small space. It really helps out in games. You only have that four to five inches to put the puck in.”

The rapid drill shooting didn’t look easy and Ramsey said players can be off balance when firing.

“It gets you ready for that split second when you have that in a game too,” added Ramsey, who has seven goals in 26 games.

“Everyday after practise you see guys shooting.

We don’t mess around a ton after practise. We like to have fun, but we’re always working hard on things too.”

So which Vee has the best touch in pressure situations?

“That’s a tough one to pin point,” Ramsey smiled. see VEES pg. 20

Lakers playing for Len Cox Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Pen High is hosting the first annual Len Cox Lakettes Memorial Tournament Nov. 28-30.

The Lakers senior girls basketball team hosts seven teams from the Okanagan (the South Kamloops Titans, Okanagan Mission Huskies, Mt. Boucherie Bears, Fulton Lady Maroons, Rutland Voodoos and Salmon Arm Jewels) and the Walnut Grove

Gators, a top-10 squad, from the Fraser Valley.

Laker Haylee Robertson said the group is excited mainly because it’s their first game and they have new Grade 11 players.

“It will be a good learning experience for us to see how we work as a team,” said Robertson, adding that playing the Titans will be a good, early challenge since they have strong teams.

The tournament is a fundraiser for a bursary in Cox’s name.

He is a former Pen High teacher, counsellor and administrator of 30 years who died this year. Cox established and ran the scholarship bursary foundation that currently gives more than $200,000 in educational funding to grads from Pen High, Princess Margaret and Summerland. Cox also coached the Lakettes

throughout his career.

Portions of the entry fee paid by teams will go to the scholarship, but there will also be a table set up for donations at the door of the gym.

The Lakers open the tournament against the Titans at 1 p.m. They return to the court Nov.29 to face the Huskies and close out on Sunday at 8:30 a.m. against the Gators.

The Princess Margaret Mustangs senior boys volleyball team have advanced into the quarter-finals of the AA Big Kahuna B.C. High School Boys Championships Thursday at Langley Events Centre.

The Mustangs bus slid into a snowy ditch on Tuesday and arrived late for its matches on Wednesday, forcing a forfeit to MEI. However, the Mustangs got one win over Woodlands that day in two matches and another big one over Smithers 25-19 and 25-14 twice on Thursday in the playoffs. That win earned them a meeting with sixth seed College Heights at 7 p.m. Thursday.

Injured Vee will be missed

Friday, November 28, 2014 Penticton Western News

from VEES pg. 18 “We have a lot of really good shooters on our team. Pretty much anyone in our forward group, if they get the puck in the slot, there is a pretty strong chance that they are going to put it in the net.”

As the Vees get ready for the Rivermen (13-9-1-3), then return to Penticton to host the West Kelowna Warriors (13-7-0-5) Saturday at 6 p.m., they do so without winger Matt Serratore, who is out six to eight weeks with a broken ankle. He watched Monday’s practice from the bench as he wore a boot on his left leg.

“It’s a big loss to the team. It’s a huge loss to our line,” said Ramsey, as the line is centered by Riley Alferd. “We’re definitely losing some speed. We’ll lose goals too. He has been putting up a lot of points this year. One of the big things too is he is a huge guy in the locker room.”

Committed to the National Collegiate Athletic Association Air Force Falcons next season, the five-foot-10, 165 pound forward is fourth in team scoring with 13 goals and

23 points in 26 games. After Serratore went down in the second period of their 5-3 win against the Centennials in Merritt, it was reported on the Three V’s blog that the players spoke up in the dressing room and rallied to win the game for him. They trailed 2-1 after two periods and had a four-goal explosion in the third thanks to Dakota Conroy who scored twice, Demico Hannoun and Connor Chartier, who potted the winner.

“If one guys falls out of the lineup, we want to pick up the slack,” said Ramsey. “Get the win for that guy. You want to play for him.”

After defeating the Rivermen at the South Okanagan Events Centre 4-1 on Nov. 19, Ramsey expects a tougher rematch against the physical Mainland division squad.

Ramsey pointed out that some people think of the Vees as a small team, that they are not that physical.

“We don’t really like that. I think we carry our weight around just fine,” he said. “I think we will be physical. Saturday, big rivalry with West Kelowna who snapped our winning streak here. We want to get back at them for that.”

BOULT

With sadness and shock we have to announce the passing of Wayne Mickey Boult. Wayne lost his 2 day battle with a serious infection in Penticton Hospital on Friday November 21, 2014. Wayne was born “at home” in Oliver on Friday, February 13, 1942.

Predeceased by his parents, Mickey and Irene Boult and his daughter Debbie Boult-Ott. Left to mourn his loss is his sister, Wendy Snideman and her son Michael (Shelley, Kristina and Ryan) and his brother Bill and Margo and their sons Tyler (Angela and Anderson) and Spencer (Heather and Cohen). Also missing him terribly are his cousins, the decedents of one of Oliver’s Pioneer Families, Bill and Lil Tomlin. There will be no service. In lieu of flowers, those who wish may donate to Wayne’s favourite charity, the South Okanagan BCSPCA, 2200 Dartmouth Drive, Penticton, BC V2A 4C2. Goodbye Big Brother, we will miss you more than you ever imagined. Condolences may be sent to the family through www.providencefuneralhomes.com.
