The Prospera Granfondo Axel Merckx Okanagan cycling event is expected to ramp up tourism dollars and traffic for the area this weekend.

“We will have around 2,500 riders for sure,” said event founder Axel Merckx. “People are coming from further; more Americans and Europeans are coming and trying to do the ride.

That’s really cool to see.”

Attendance from international visitors often brings a bigger economic impact to the community said Penticton’s sport tourism co-ordinator Jeff Plant.

“The general tourism experience sells, but destination guests are likely to stay for longer and have greater economic impact compared to regional visits, who tend to stay with friends or family and generally have shorter duration.”

Plant is also involved event operations as the race director.

“Every touch point that an athlete experiences in our event we try to make it as good as it possibly can be,” he said. “There are a number of factors that go into the selection of the track.

Certainly we’re trying to highlight the region, the different geographic and tourist attractions within the region.

We’re trying to provide a variety of terrain for riders of all abilities so we want challenges that suit everybody.”

Plant said Penticton has built a legacy as a host community for sporting events.

“The spectacular terrain of the valley, desert, country orchards, wineries, lakes – it’s pretty hard to beat it.”

He said the event will have a big

impact on traffic around the region, and that a detailed operations plan will ease passage around the blockages as cyclists launch from Penticton and travel through Summerland Okanagan Falls, Oliver and Kaleden “Movement will be possible but delays are expected.”

Before the granfondo gets underway on July 12, younger riders will get the first crack at Penticton’s streets during the Piccolofondo on July 11.

The Piccolofondo begins when the farmer’s market ends at 1 p.m., and lasts until 4 p.m. During that time, the roads surrounding Gyro Park will be closed to traffic – Main Street, Martin Street, Lakeshore Drive and Front Street. Minor tweaks have been made to bus routes two, three and five The main event begins the following day at 7 a.m. out front of Gyro Park. Main Street, between Lakeshore Drive and Westminster Avenue, will be closed from 6 a.m. until 5 p.m.

Other closures on July 12 will be sporadic: Lakeshore Drive will be closed between Main Street and Eckhardt Avenue from 6:30 until 10 a.m.; Main Street will also see the stretch between Wade Avenue and Kinney Avenue closed from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m.; South Main will be closed from Kinney Avenue to the city limits from 7:45 until 9 a.m.; and Skaha Lake Road will be closed from the Channel Parkway to Kinney Avenue from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. At 9 a.m., controlled crossing will begin at the intersections of Main Street and Duncan Avenue as well as Main Street and Eckhardt Avenue.

An alternative path will be taken by bus route 16 from 9:42 a.m. until 5 p.m. For more info on road closures visit www.pentictonwesternnews.com.

Pilot crawls from crash Dale Boyd

Western News Staff

The pilot of the small Beechcraft, single-engine plane that crashed on Highway 97 in Osoyoos on Tuesday is in critical condition in a Vancouver hospital.

The 46-year-old pilot, Todd Lewendon, suffered extensive burns on most of his body police said, however he was able to get himself out of the wreckage after initial reports suggest the plane lost power and attempted an emergency landing on the highway.

Lewendon was the sole occupant of the vehicle which was heading from Oliver to Boundary. While attempting the emergency landing, the aircraft caught its wing on the rear of a semi trailer hitting the ground and sliding into a telephone pole where it plane burst into flames. The investigation has

been turned over to the Transportation Safety Board (TSB).

“Typically what happens in this case is we decided based on the information we got to deploy to the accident site and take a closer examination at the aircraft and document the accident site,” said Chris Krepski, spokesperson with the TSB. The investigative team will interview the pilot when he is able to speak as well as witnesses. The team is also gathering information on weather, aircraft maintenance and pilot training records.

“We’re going to asses that information and see what the next steps will be and see whether or not we will conduct a more in-depth investigation into this or not,” Krepski said.

The purpose of any TSB investigation is to advance safety. The TSB does not determine civil or criminal liability.

Tourism director resigns Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

After not much longer than a year on the job, Chris Bower, the executive director for Tourism Penticton, is leaving.

The resignation has not been officially announced, but Bower admitted the rumour was true when the Western News questioned him about it.

Bower, who started working for Tourism Penticton on June 23 last year, turned in his resignation at the end of June this year. His official final day is Sept.

11, but Diana Stirling, chair of the Tourism Penticton board, said Bower was being flexible about the date.

“If we need him for longer, that is not an issue, if we need him for less time, that is also not an issue,” said Stirling.

Bower said he can’t divulge his reasons for resigning.

“I can’t really discuss it at this point,” said Bower.

Stirling, however, said Bower was moving on to a new job.

“He has another opportunity in front of him that we are happy for him to pursue,” said Stirling.

Bower’s final day (Sept. 11) comes just two weeks before Penticton plays host to the GoMedia conference, starting on Sept. 27 and bringing Canadian tourism partners from across the country together with top travel media from around the globe in Penticton.

“Without a doubt, GoMedia is one of the most significant events and opportunities to happen for Penticton,” said Stirling, noting that there is a team in place to handle the Penticton side of the event, which is the Canadian Tourism Commission’s flagship annual conference.

“Together with the entire team we have absolute confidence that there won’t be any hiccup with Chris’ resignation and GoMedia,” said Stirling. “To say we have the best tourism resources on the team … is an understatement.”

Bower said that if he is needed, he will stay on for the GoMedia conference, but expects the board to have a new person in place by then.

“We are getting everything together and I am making sure that when I do leave, I am not leaving anything hanging,” said Bower.

“We are going to be filling the position with a short-term contract, in hopes that person would then apply for the executive director role,” said Stirling.

“It gives us all the confidence and peace of mind that there will be no gap at Tourism Penticton. There will be someone in place before Chris’ last day with us.”

Stirling said they don’t have a particular person in mind to take on the short-term contract, but the board has reached out through their network and will be posting the position shortly.

Bower said he is confident Tourism Penticton is in a better position than when he started, which Stirling agrees with.

“We had a lot of doors that had closed and we needed someone to come in and open them up. We have a strong relationship now with the chamber, the Penticton Hospitality Association, the Downtown Penticton Association to name a few,” said Stirling.

“Those doors had effectively closed. He did a really good job of doing that in the past year.”

Stirling said Bower’s departure shouldn’t negatively affect tourism marketing for the community.

“I do not see any bumps from a tourism perspective, I actually see strength,” Stirling said. “We have grown stronger in the past year.”

The City would like to advise residents of water main installation work on Main Street at Granby Avenue. The upgrades will be taking place Thursday July 16th. These upgrades are necessary to provide adequate water servicing for the upcoming Penticton Regional Hospital Expansion Project. Traffic on Main Street will be reduced to two lanes of traffic and temporary road closures and detours will be set upon Granby Avenue to facilitate the water main installation. The City asks that members of the public stay safe by obeying all traffic control personnel and posted speed limits through the work area and detour routes. Should you have any questions about this work, please contact the City Engineering Department at 250-490-2500.

He said it would be difficult to prove who was responsible for producing the plants.

“You can’t put anybody actually to it just because somebody’s in the general area,” he said. “And it’s right near the KVR trail, it would be easy to stumble upon.”

Had charges been anticipated, Lozinski said the plants would have been collected as evidence.

Naramata RDOS director Karla Kozakevich, who has lived in the area for the past 10 years, said the grow op was the first she’s heard of locally out in the bush.

Trovao, who’s been with the local fire dept. for 18 years, said he’s noticed a few plants growing in backyards, but this week’s call was the first plantation he’s known about.

At least one Naramata pot farmer won’t be basking in the fruits of his or her labour come harvest time.

On July 7, a response to a small forest fire in Naramata led the RCMP to the discovery of approximately 100 marijuana plants.

The plants were destroyed and the cultivators were not identified.

Naramata Fire Dept. chief Tony Trovao said a fire was burning in a wooded area of Crown land between Little Tunnel and the power lines in Naramata. Because the fire had spread past Naramata boundaries, the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations was called to the scene.

Upon entering deeper parts of the

bush, it was forestry workers who stumbled across the plants. From there the RCMP were contacted.

“Being that a fire was present, we just walked over and threw the plants into the fire and dealt with them that way,” said Staff Sgt. Kurt Lozinski, of the Penticton RCMP. “We don’t think (the fire and grow operation) are related in any level,” Lozinski said the plants varied in size from about 30 to 45 centimetres on average, and that they were scattered throughout a bushy area. He said there was a water reservoir on site which indicates a regular presence from the grower(s), but there were no houses nearby or any way to identify the culprits.

“The plants were destroyed, we’re not going to waste any time

A celebration of life will happen on Saturday at the South Okanagan Events Centre for the Penticton Vees chaplain Jamie Weberg.

Stephen Condon, a former resident of osoyoos who is suing the province, the RCMp and suspended Const. Amit Goyal, visits the penticton Court house as he works to reinstate his drivers licence.

Former Osoyoos man files lawsuit against RCMP officer Dale Boyd

Western News Staff

The man suing the Town of Osoyoos, the province of B.C. a suspended police officer and the RCMP said he isn’t backing down.

Stephen Condon had to leave Osoyoos in 2012 due to what he said was a wrongful arrest, slander and infliction of emotional and psychological harm caused by suspended RCMP Const. Amit Goyal, and he hopes to find justice with his lawsuit filed on June 2.

“If I have to, I’ll go to Ottawa.

I’ll go higher up than that,” Condon said. “I’m not about to back down right now, and I don’t think I should back down. I’m going to be a bulldog in this whole situation until I think it’s fair.”

The statement of claim filed June 2 in New Westminster Supreme Court alleges multiple incidents from 2011 until November 2012 where former Osoyoos RCMP Const. Goyal, who is currently suspended with pay awaiting a July 28 Code of Conduct hearing with the RCMP in Vancouver, harassed Condon on multiple occasions and framed him for the theft and arson of two vehicles.

At this time, the allegations are unproven as no court or tribunal has found any RCMP Code of Conduct infractions nor have any criminal charges been filed against Goyal.

The statement of claim alleges on Oct. 31, 2012 a 2009 black Audi S5 owned by Goyal was reported stolen from Collision Craft Auto in Osoyoos. The burnt remains of the Audi were discovered in the outskirts of Osoyoos in the spring of 2013. It also alleges on Nov. 5, 2012 a Ford Ranger on loan to Goyal from Collision Craft

I’m going to be a bulldog in this whole situation until I think it’s fair.

— Stephen Condon

Auto was reported stolen from the auto body shop. The burnt remains of the vehicle were discovered in the outskirts of Osoyoos as well.

The court documents put forward by Condon state RCMP members of the Trail detachment were assigned to investigate the matter and alleges Goyal “falsely and maliciously told other members of the RCMP and investigators that he (Condon) had stolen and burnt the Audi and Ford because of previous interactions between them.”

The documents also outline instances where Goyal allegedly arrested Condon for driving a vehicle without the owner’s permission. Condon claims the owner had consented to the use. He also alleges during a New Year’s eve party in 2011, Goyal attended the Ridge Brewing Pub and told Condon he had received a report about people dealing drugs. Condon denied the allegations and, according to the documents, contacted the owner of another pub where Goyal said the allegations came from and the owner said they did not make a call to the police.

Condon said he filed a formal complaint against Goyal in relation to the incident, but no action was taken.

The documents outline an instance where Condon, who has a prior criminal record, was serving an intermittent jail sentence at the Osoyoos RCMP detachment where Goyal was present.

Goyal allegedly mocked Condon about the murder of his friend Tom Gisby in Mexico in April of 2012. Goyal allegedly laughed at Condon and said something to the effect of “Ha, your buddy got it.”

The suit is seeking general, special, punitive, aggravated and exemplary damages, and while the list of defendants including the Attorney General are daunting, Condon’s lawyer Paul Evans said its more of a technicality when suing a police officer.

“You have to name the municipality under the Police Act when you sue a police officer,” Evans said. “Likewise for the Crown, when you sue the police in British Columbia you have to name the Crown as a party.”

He said they are waiting for more details to come out from the investigation by Trail RCMP into the two vehicles found burned outside of Osoyoos. That investigation led to three intensive and lengthy interrogations of Condon by RCMP, according to the statement of claim, including one where Condon allegedly passed a polygraph (lie detector) test.

While Evans said there will be a representative at the Code of Conduct hearing for Goyal, he’s unsure how long it will take for a decision.

Condon will be in attendance at the public hearing as well, with the support of friends, family and lawyers, he said.

“I’m going to fight and I’m going to push it. We’ll see what happens at this hearing, see what happens with my lawsuit,” Condon said.

opinion

Too many cooks in tourism broth For a town that lists tourism as one of its main economic drivers, Penticton seems to have a hard time presenting a united front on this important sector.

The latest rocking of the boat comes with the resignation of Tourism Penticton’s executive director Chris Bower.

Bower’s resignation was delivered to the Tourism Penticton board within days of his first anniversary in the job.

Similarly, the Penticton Hospitality Association is struggling with internal infighting over their election of officers earlier this year; an extraordinary general meeting is expected to be called soon to hold a new election.

Since 2011, tourism marketing in Penticton has been riding a roller coaster as various groups fight over control of available funding, including a nearly year-long supreme court battle between the city and the PHA. We aren’t foolish enough to think that this kind of office politics can ever be eliminated, but perhaps it is time for a ‘summit conference’ to establish, once and for all, a unified tourism organization to bring some long term stability to the marketing of Penticton as a tourist destination.

Gains have been made over the past year in terms of working together, especially after the city lost its court battle with the PHA, but it is clear there is a long way to go. Too many cooks spoil the broth is the old phrase, and Tourism Penticton, the PHA and the City of Penticton each have their ladle out and are vigorously stirring the tourism pot.

Each group has their own idea of where PENTICTON WESTERN tourism funding is best spent, and each group has had some successes. Just imagine what might be accomplished if they were all working together all the time.

The tourism roller coaster may be slowly heading down the final length of track, but it seems there are still a few twists and turns left before the ride is over.

Beach is exhausting resources, people, me Disclaimer: I’m going to write about Three Mile Beach.

The situation that has been developing at the public beach just a hop, skip and a 10-minute drive from downtown Penticton has led to an arrest, and the slightest mention of the issue is guaranteed to stir up a frenzy, hence the disclaimer.

I’ve been accused of lazy journalism and enflaming the issue. Everyone has the right to their opinion, but I’m here to lay out the facts as best as I can on the issue which has property owners and naturists up in arms, and police and the city throwing up their hands. Before I get into it, a friendly reminder that all feedback is welcome.

Firstly there is the issue of legality.

Under section 174 (1) of the Criminal Code of Canada Every one who, without lawful excuse is nude in a public place, or is nude and exposed to public view while on private property, whether or not the property is his own, is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction. Nude is defined in the section as a person who offending against public decency or order.

With that bit of legalese out of the way, Three Mile Beach is a public beach, owned by the City of Penticton, with plenty of signage indicating so. The way I understand it, some naturists used to access a more secluded piece of the beach via privately-owned land which is now guarded by a sign and security camera, and during my short trip down to the beach for some research, not being a lazy journalist, I did in fact see some

Dale Boyd Ramble on folks in their birthday suits on the public portion of the beach.

My trip to the beach on this day didn’t make me want to reach for my phone and call 911, and those who were clothed and taking a swim didn’t seem to mind either.

However, neither side involved with the feud is getting what they want from police, aside from the one arrest, and for a pretty good reason. With two murders this year and a crime rate that didn’t take a break in the shoulder season, certain calls take priority.

City councillors have taken heat as well for leaving things “status quo,” a fancy way of saying “we’re not going to do anything.” The council was put in a tough spot, with two vocally opposed sides and not a lot of wiggle room in between. The city can’t supersede the aforementioned Criminal Code section, which essentially means that it is a criminal offence to be nude in a public place, as it always was. It could be argued

that for the same reason council couldn’t endorse Three Mile as a nude beach.

The buck has been passed from council to the police and now to the Crown. I wouldn’t be surprised if they dropped the charge like the hot potato it is, but somebody with authority needs to set a precedent, or else what’s the point of having these institutions if not for exact situations like this.

Next, there has been little sympathy for the property owners in the online comments section, with many asking why they would move there if they knew nudist’s frequent the beach? I’ve also seen it repeated many times that Three Mile has always been a nudist beach.

The closest to concrete evidence I can get locally is a newspaper article from the Penticton Museum and Archives that outlines a nudist club in the Okanagan in 1965.

The article about the 30-member club at the time states “Sunbathers are not new here, but nude ones tanning collectively in an officially-organized club are quite a recent addition to the Okanagan scene.”

Not the “100-year history” I’ve been told about, not concretely anyway, but naturists have been around the area for awhile which begs the question, does it matter?

Let’s say a hypothetical group of people found a cove on a hypothetical (I can’t stress that word enough) public space and they used it for public alcohol consumption — and I’m not equating naturism with public alcohol consumption, only

making the comparison that they are both Criminal Code offences.

Let’s say they had been causing a ruckus (hypothetically) at Skaha Lake Park for hundreds of years in the name of the God of alcohol. Would the city be so hesitant to take a stance? If a special interest group had been doing it for years, does that matter? Why does one special interest group get priority or special treatment on a public beach we all pay taxes for.

On the note of taxes, I reach my last point, why it matters.

Some have expressed their utter disdain with the situation and its constant presence in the media. We’re just “creating an issue” on a slow news day as us vultures are going to do. The already taxed police have told me they are getting multiple calls a week from Three Mile Beach, property owners say they are getting assaulted and bullied, and naturists are saying the same. A dispute over public land, which neither party owns, wasn’t resolved by the city, wasn’t resolved by police and has trickled down to the court system, who may not resolve it either. Has this one feud poked its way through every credible authoritative institution? Almost, and that’s pretty interesting to me.

It should be noted I refrained from making many nuditybased puns during the writing of this article, I don’t want a medal or anything, but I’m patting myself on the back.

letters Missing hikers offer words of thanks to search teams No words can describe the gratitude we feel to the people involved in assisting with the search for us.

We would like to take this opportunity to take the focus off us and put it more on the people who were instrumental in the search.

Since our return we have heard endless stories about the large number of volunteers, the search teams, the volume of work involved and the selfless dedication and commitment of everyone. The search co-ordinator involved family members to be at the search base site and be part of the process. We are so grateful as that allowed them to keep our Ontario family and friends up-to-date with accurate information.

On June 21 we arrived at Cathedral Lakes Lodge, on invitation from the owners/operators, intending to enjoy some hiking and lodge surroundings. The hiking opportunities are amazing and views are breathtaking.

On Monday, June 22, we set out for a day hike and quite simply we made a huge costly mistake. We left the trail and within hours we were nowhere near where we were supposed to be and were totally lost in a thick, wooded area. At that point, it was getting later in the

Right-wing extremism

It’s great to see the new generation questioning world issues (Penticton Western News, June 26 column by Dale Boyd, Why the silence on right-wing extremism?) and expressing their concerns and opinions on topics which have tested the intelligence of the previous generations in the “free world” — what a privilege.

With respect and not to in any way to justify any loss of life to be OK, dealing with sensitive political issues is a topic where one has to be careful not to show bias.

The column could be seen as taking advantage of mishaps to advance a cause.

That said, I wonder why the America Foundations excluded the 9/11 attack from their statistical analysis. The possibility exists, the provisions and safeguards implemented by governments after 9/11 has prevented other incidences? If so, the statistics used in the article as a comparison is skewed.

One wonders if the bias of some considers the pressures of government leadership — regardless of what party they are representing (Conservatives, Liberal, NDP, Communist party, or any other regime). It might just be the world’s leadership and decisions which are made, is influencing Canada’s domestic decisions.

Let’s appreciate the fact we live in a country with privileges very few people in the world enjoy. Yes, those privileges include the right to voice opinions, but just because we have the right to

do something doesn’t make it right. Isn’t it more productive to recommend possible solutions.

It is the responsibility of all to review history and allow the mistakes of the past teach us to improve the future, remembering always there isn’t a party or leader that will satisfy everyone.

Goodale speech

I was a bit puzzled by the coverage (Western News, July 3, Liberal heavyweight stops in Penticton to give support) of last week’s visit to Penticton by Ralph Goodale, the Deputy leader of the Liberal Party of Canada and former Finance Minister.

Mr. Goodale’s talk was almost entirely devoted to the state of Canada’s economy.

He pointed out that instead of growing, our economy is actually shrinking, that we are importing far more than we are exporting (creating a huge and growing trade deficit) and that, contrary to Mr. Harper’s propaganda, we are not doing better than other G7 countries. In fact, Mr. Goodale pointed out that after almost 10 years in power, Stephen Harper has the worst economic record of any prime minister since R.B. Bennett in the depths of the Great Depression.

Mr. Goodale then laid out Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau’s five proposals to restart Canada’s economy, including the non-taxable, need-based, indexed Canada Child Benefit that will help nine out of 10 Canadian families with children. Also

mentioned: immediate and large scale government investment in infrastructure, better access to post-secondary education, incentives for more scientific research and a commitment to a new environmental policy that will get Canada into the new green economy and restore our world reputation.

Very little of the Goodale speech was mentioned. Instead, the reporter concentrated on a question from a man who might have been an NDP plant.

Thank you!

To the honest person who found my change purse two weeks ago in front of the Whole Foods store and returned it to the store — with all the contents: It was a ray of light and very much appreciated.

Same happened to me before, also to a friend of mine.

Thank you to all the honest people. Makes me love to live in Penticton.

Wait a minute mayor

I recently read the post

Submitted photo

We watched the search helicopters from a distance for five days, hoping we would be seen, but realized the focus of the search was closer to areas we were supposed to be.

So on day six, Saturday, we made the decision in the evening that the next morning at first light we would start walking back about the Penticton Scottish Festival on the “Mayor’s Minute” blog on the Penticton City website.

In his mostly pleasant description the mayor refers to being heckled when he attended the event. While the remark in question could be considered rude he used his “Mayor’s Minute” to heckle back by delivering a public scolding to the woman in question. He referred to her as “some old lady” and then as “a little old lady.”

Using terms like that in the context he did is demeaning to older women generally and evokes stereotypes in the same way it would to refer to an older man, for example, as an “old geezer.”

I don’t agree that the mayor needed to publicly air his grievance, but at the least he should have used language that is respectful to all citizens.

The Western News raised an important question in their July 3 editorial: “... why there hasn’t been ongoing protests, starting last September, when the City of Penticton forced out the previous leaseholders — the Attrill family, who operated the marina and their business there since 1986 — in favour of the bigger plans put forward by Trio. Details were sketchy at the time — itself a warning sign that more was going on behind closed doors than the City wanted taxpayers to know about, or could divulge at the time — but it was clear that public park lands were part

to the lodge. Fortunately, the route that we planned proved to be correct. Our plan was based on using position of the sun and the path it took as it travelled overhead. This really confirmed the direction we had to head for. It took most of the day, but we arrived at Cathedral lakes Lodge successfully in about 8.5 hours. Things happened very quickly for us at that point. As we made our way to the Penticton Hospital, we talked with medical personnel, search personnel, helicopter pilots, realizing the magnitude of the whole search process.

We wish we had the chance to hug or shake hands with every person who contributed their time on our behalf. This has been a truly humbling experience.

We will always appreciate the beauty of this area, the mountains and the amazing hiking, but we now recognize to be safe hikers, we need to be properly prepared. We have learned a valuable lesson and are overwhelmingly thankful to everyone who gave so much of their time.

Thank you.

of the deal.”

This raises the issue of the danger of in camera meetings where too much leeway for unnecessary business is conducted in secrecy. It shows a severe lack of understanding by city council of their responsibility towards the people they were elected to serve. It also raises the issue of public involvement in issues that concern the community. Despite the many years some on city council have served, have they still not learned that an open and extensive public process is essential? The public meeting on this issue made apparent that people become angry if they feel they have been

duped by having sensitive issues pushed through too quickly.

Council better hope this project fails to come to fruition; come next election that water frontage area will be a red flag telling everyone how they should vote in the upcoming election. Skaha Beach is sacrosanct. Penticton citizens decided years ago and made it very clear what is their vision for Skaha Beach. City council of the day agreed with them. What part of this does city council not understand? The citizens of Penticton should not have to keep reinforcing this message.

City council needs common sense Now that I have retired from my municipal job with the City of Penticton, the muzzle is now off and I have officially been de-Harperized when it comes to municipal affairs. I would sincerely like to thank Elvena Slump for saying many of the things I wanted to, but was forbidden to.

The first thing I would like to address is the financial wizardry of Dan Ashton, when anyone with half a brain knows the city could not afford zero per cent tax increases for three years, especially after just blowing $79 million on the SOEC. This was simply a political move to make himself look like some kind of money magician and to further his own political career. Apparently his plan worked.

The next thing I would like to address is the staffing shortage (union staff). About a dozen union positions were lost and never replaced. The city keeps growing and developing, but no staff are added to help maintain all the new infrastructure. It is placing

extra hardship and stress on the current employees, and it always seems to be a question of money, but cash never seems to be a problem when hiring a new manager.

I can tell the taxpayers of this city one thing for sure; you are not getting the same level of services now that you received five years ago thanks to budgets being cut to the bone. The street sweeper used to be out eight hours per day and today it is out maybe three to four hours per day (some days), Some infrastructure maintenance has gone by the wayside. Just look at any rusty and flaking fire hydrant along Skaha Lake Road or bollard in Okanagan Park and you will see what I mean. Sidewalk spraying for noxious weeds now only takes place on the main arteries, with the onus now placed on the residents to control the weeds around their property.

Either the Canadian economy is in the toilet, or our economic development plan needs a severe shakeup. The most common

sign I see in building windows nowadays here is “for lease.” I do not understand why we do not advertise ourselves more, whether it be through TV, radio, or any other means of getting ourselves out there.

We have to stop ignoring infrastructure repair/replacement in favour of large scale projects that we do not need, and get our priorities straight. There needs to be a much better balance between development and infrastructure needs.

Mayor and council, if you really want to impress me and leave a lasting memory of yourselves, then get us out of the red and back into the black without slashing more union jobs. Start re-paving our crumbling streets. Use a little common sense. It’s all I ask. Keep your eyes open folks. Now that I have all this time on my hands, you just may see my name and face on an election placard in 2019. Stay tuned.

Opposed to commercial project on city land

I see the comments regarding the opposition at council meeting with staff and council saying there is widespread support.

To date, I have not had one person that I have talked to support the proposal. Today after getting the city bulletin and seeing the large area to be taken out of parkland, I am even more opposed to this commercial project on city land.

ing a rally and town hall meeting previous council accepted a lesser option of just over $1 million in cost to improve Lakeshore Drive. And leasing land now that holds a ballpark to a new hotel? What’s next? The El Rancho site is for sale and its’ right across from the convention centre and is a perfect place for a hotel. What’s with all this leasing greenspace in our city? It will be impossible to get it back!

One councillor said “we should give them our blessing today.” I really wanted to puke. Time for another rally. Monday, July 20 in front of city hall at 5 p.m.

One has to wonder just what is the mandate of elected officials with regards to representing the citizens that voted for them.

I believe it is to work toward doing what is best for them and not to go into private business with developers and or commercial retailers.

The paid staff are the ones that draw to the attention of the elected officials any proposal put forward from developers and/ or any interested business that wants to proceed with projects within our city limits.

It seems lately that the paid staff have taken it upon themselves to work toward promoting private businesses within our city limits and more concerning on our parks and green areas. Proposals seem to appear at council meetings fully supported by the staff at city hall, with little or no input from the citizens of Penticton.

When was the mandate given to city staff to look at using city property? And, it seems green areas to go into competition with business already operating in Penticton. The proposal for a new hotel with the casino moving there should not be the mandate of city staff to promote and even entertain, especially when the proposal involves city property.

Now we have the city staff working with a retail group to go into competition with our local restaurants, beer and wine stores, and entertainment events sites i.e. mini golf course, waterslide.

Again on city property and on our parkland. I could not agree more with the letters that have been flooding the local newspapers with their views opposing this proposal put forward by our city staff and seemingly accepted by city council.

Waterslides have been tried and failed, if this one fails who will pick up the bill for taking it down and restoring the parkland back to it’s original state?

Beth Campbell put some very good questions forward regarding the hotel proposal, I would suggest that they also apply to the proposal for Skaha Lake City Park.

Most importantly, how can city staff be mandated to work against business that have paid taxes for years in this city and supported non-profit groups with their generosity over all these years.

Yes, if a business wants to locate in Penticton, city staff should work to help them set up, privately, but not with the offer of city property especially city parks and ball fields.

Bob Otway Penticton

Time to rally

Reading the frustration in so many letters to the editor and a three hour public input and debate at the latest council meeting, it’s time to rally against the latest decision by council to sell off, lease, whatever you want to call it, city greenspace.

Skaha Lake Park has been supported and improved by service clubs and donations to the City of Penticton over the years.

Who is Trio Marine Group? Who are the stakeholders for Trio Marine Group? Did Trio put up a bond before the city granted them privilege to claim city owned land?

Yes, a waterslide would be a great addition to the city, but there are lots of places to put a waterslide. The new bridge to the Penticton Indian Band opens up a lot of new land use. It would look so attractive as you drive down the bypass to see a big waterslide for tourists and locals to enjoy.

What was the point of that council meeting? Seems like the decision was made before the meeting to give away Skaha Lake Park. That was obvious. There has been a great deal of contributions through legacies and service clubs to improve Skaha Lake Park. Previous mayors worked hard to purchase properties to expand the park. It’s a sad day when this new council votes to change the face of Skaha Lake Park with so much disapproval.

Where else can you go where there is a beautiful beach on either end of a city with attractive, free amenities for use through tourist season? I agree the Skaha marina needed improvements and a restaurant is a welcome addition to that beach area.

But to disregard the opinions of residents regarding leasing a public beach and putting in a private-owned waterslide without considering residents input does not speak to democracy. A referendum is needed. It took three hours and 35 minutes to destroy Skaha Lake Park.

Over 1,000 signatures stopped improvements and changes to Lakeshore Drive that would have cost over $7 million. Follow-

Referendum needed

Precedence is very clear that referendum is the proper process when considering reallocation of public park lands in Penticton.

A public referendum was held before the city granted a non-profit society a 20year lease to run Okanagan Lake marina.

Similarly a referendum preceded the decision to take park land for the SOEC. Why is this Council not following well established precedence regarding the proposed 40-year lease to a for-profit business displacing Skaha Park public park lands?

The timing of the city’s “consultation” so late in the approval process feels more like notification than proper process. Mayor and council can still do the right thing: give Pentictonites a real say in this important issues. Give us a referendum.

Stop the nonsense

Since 1954 when I arrived in Penticton and decided to stay (forever) I have seen many mayors, councillors and managers come and go.

We have had some brilliant people serve us over the years and some were mediocre.

But, I think we never had so many people in city hall with so little common sense until now. When one listens to some of the statements by the mayor and some councillors at the last council meeting one can only shake their head.

The mayor stated that a percentage of the profit from the waterpark would be used to acquire new parkland and/or improvements for existing parks. We have a very nice waterpark in that area built and paid for by the Rotary Club with no cost to the city. It can be used by anyone for free. Now staff and city council intend to bulldoze it

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

On RCMP wait on nude beach ruling:

“It was not always a nude beach! Let’s get this straight — the nude beach was north of the current one, until the owner closed it down. I am not against the naturists at all, but don’t spread lies.”

— posted by Sharry Rose Anne Lee

“They really need to give it a rest. Sell your damn home. The beach will always be what it is, you shouldn’t have bought the property wasting RCMP time and taxpayers money on a bad decision to buy property full well knowing it is what it is.”

— posted by Lisa M Jack

On Resident plans rally at city hall to protect city greenspace:

“Have a good protest. It’s your right. But make sure you have a solid, economically-sound proposal that will match or exceed the project you’re ready to scrap. Provide a solution, don’t just complain about the perceived problem.”

— posted by Bradley James Cooper

“I walked along the new (and improved) walkway on the shores of Okanagan Lake last night.

Some people fought hard to stop the walk-way from being upgraded. Thank goodness they were not successful. The waterfront was buzzing with people of all ages last night strolling the path, eating in our lakeshore restaurants and having fun at LocoLanding. Skaha now has the same potential to have a fun/exciting area for locals and tourists. Hopefully the plan will not be derailed by those that are rallying against the marina location. The waterfront is exactly where a development (like the one proposed) should be.”

— posted by Susan Wyatt

“I have recently, among my own friends list, been organizing a protest against the protesters.”

— posted by Savannah Lynn

and many wonderful old pine trees out of there and replace it with some waterslides that will be open for a few months a year.

I would like to know how many years of 10 per cent profit it will take until the city can replace the present park?

Does anyone out there, anyone at all, think the common sense was used in this instance?

The many letters to the editor show that the vast majority of the Penticton taxpayers (my last count was 30:2) are enraged about the outrageous decisions council and staff have made lately. I wonder if certain councillors and the mayor could be impeached for not acting in the best interests of the people as I think they promised to do when they were sworn in.

What happened to all the fantastic promises?

Please people keep on writing letters, phone a councillor, let’s stop this nonsense for good once and for all.

EL JAVI, right, plays a concert at the Dream Café, showing off some “fingerpicking masterpieces” on his guitar, exploring flamencoinfused renditions of rock classics. Above, El Javi, from Mexico and Spanish percussionist Jordi Marin feed off each other’s energy during the Dream Café show on July 3.

Dale Boyd/Western News

El Javi gets the Led out Concert review by Dale Boyd Wester News Staff

El Javi can be described as flamenco fusion, but that doesn’t come close to encapsulating the sounds from the duo that range from smooth and sultry to rocking intensity.

If you’re a Led Zeppelin fan, or a classic rock fan in general, you’ll be right at home as El Javi, which I’ll clarify here is the name of both the band and the frontman/guitarist, twists familiar songs into impressive fingerpicking masterpieces.

Babe I’m Gonna Leave You, a personal Zeppelin favourite of mine, swings from hitting the hard-rocking breakdown back into flamenco-esque solos with what

looks like ease, but is impossibly quick technique, of which El Javi seemingly has a limitless supply.

They borrow from rock hits of old, but what El Javi creates with that original framework makes something entirely new. All done in the aura of minimalism with percussionist Jordi Marin using only a snare drum, two cymbals, a couple sticks and brushes while sitting on a cajon.

Clearly all the drum kit he needed as with a subtle tap or stroke of a brush he created an impressive range of sound from such a small kit, and even takes on Zeppelin drummer John Bonham’s famed Moby Dick solo.

It was the perfect meeting of venue

and artist at the Dream Café, as the two fit together like puzzle pieces to create that signature Dream atmosphere. The crowd was delighted and joined along as El Javi explored his no-lyric, all-guitar version of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody.

A truly technical achievement with both the lyrics and rhythm of the classic track being replicated with only strings.

I’ve never seen the crowd at the Dream Café more enthused and they basically forced an encore out of the duo. A signature rendition of Zeppelin’s Kashmir rounded off the night perfectly.

El Javi are playing for free at Therapy Vineyards in Naramata July 18 from 1 to 4 p.m. Visit www.eljavi.com for more information and showtimes.

Local author Anne Barton has a new novel coming out, and a new pen name to go with a change in style.

Barton is still writing mysteries, but her new novel, Living with Death, departs from her previous books’ use of amateur sleuths. Instead, writing under the pen name Carolyn Dale, Barton is exploring the police procedural genre with a pair of detectives.

“The plot I had in mind didn’t fit with my other series,” said Barton, who previously wrote about the adventures of pilot Robin Carruthers and veterinarian Dr. Erica Merrill.

Barton decided to come up with a new pen name after discovering a romance writer also named Anne Barton.

“Somewhere down in the list of her books, they will mention mine and it looks like she has written some mystery novels,” said Barton. “It took me quite a while to find one (a pen name) that wouldn’t have too many conflicts. The only other Carolyn Dales are not writers, so I decided on that.”

Barton isn’t abandoning the veterinarian and pilot series altogether, though she is putting them aside for now.

“I think they have run their course, unless I come up with a really good plot that fits either one of them,” she said . “I think I would like to go on with these two detectives I created in this book.”

Detectives Rankin and Kalinski are tasked with investigating the murder of a young woman who was out for revenge on the people who approved euthanasia for her stepbrother.

To the surprise of the detectives, people they talked to were more interested in the euthanasia of the stepbrother than in the identity of the murderer.

“The background story is a story of the pros and cons of euthanasia,” said Barton. One twist that Barton explores is the idea that in the case of someone euthanized after being in a coma from injuries sustained in an accident, police would not be able to charge the perpetrator with manslaughter or murder.

“He didn’t actually die from his injuries,” said Barton.

In Living with Death, problems that are seldom talked about are explored, and ethical questions are posed. Barton, a retired veterinarian, has written herself into the book as the love interest of one of the detectives. She is asked the difference between putting down a pet dog and a human.

“It is stuff that I have thought about over a number of years,” said Barton.

Living With Death, by Carolyn Dale will be launched at Hooked on Books in Penticton on July 14 at 6:30 p.m. There will be readings, book signings and sales. Refreshments will be served.

More information about Barton’s novels can be found online at annebartonmysteries.ca and soon at www.carolyndale.ca.

ART BRAWL — Tara Kelly and Jenny Long, both art battle veterans, pose by the paintings they made in a two-hour art brawl at St. Germain Café on July 4. For this, they took an hour to paint, which both painters said was a luxury. “We are used to the 20-minute push, so an hour was like ‘cush’,” said Kelly, while Long joked that “it was way too much time.”

Long placed first in the local art battle, which earned her the chance to compete in the regional finals in Vancouver. “A Vancouver favourite won, but it was a super-cool experience. Three hundred people came out to watch,” said Long.

Both paintings are on display at St. Germain for voting and bids, with the winners being announced at noon on July 11. Proceeds from the auction will help support Peach City Radio’s fundraising drive.

Revisiting the classics I spent a few hours last weekend searching through my bookshelves for a copy of Jane Eyre, the 1847 classic by Charlotte Bronte. I wanted my eldest daughter to fully experience summer reading – a time for both light beach reads and revisiting classics.

I also liked the symmetry of the situation.

While I looked for Jane Eyre, I was reading a new novel by Patricia Park that advertised itself as a KoreanAmerican reinterpretation of Jane Eyre. The title character in this new book, Jane Re, is an orphan growing up in New York with her surly immigrant uncle.

While the rest of the family enjoys leisure time, Jane Re is put to work in the family business, a rundown convenience store. That is, until Jane leaves the oppressive job, and becomes a nanny in a large, intimidating house in Brooklyn.

Re Jane follows the same pattern as other novels that recast classics in modern settings, such as the popular 1996 novel Bridget Jones’ Diary by Helen Fielding -- based on the Jane Austen classic, Pride and Prejudice.

In these reinterpretations, characters, place names and general plot lines are recognizable, but both the tone and writing style of the modern books are lighter, breezier and more focused on plot than beautiful turns of phrase.

In Re Jane it’s an interesting challenge to look out for the many connections – details such as a minor character named Currer Bell¸ which was the pseudonym Bronte used when first publishing Jane Eyre.

Unlike the classic it’s based on, Re Jane isn’t a novel ahead of its time.

Jane Eyre is heralded for changing the art of fiction by dramatizing a character’s internal conflict, and contained daring challenges to ideas about class, social structure and feminism. Re Jane is also full of social commentary – but noth-

ing shocking. It’s more along the lines of the tried and true: a freshfaced sneakered woman discovers that wearing pancake makeup and heels isn’t an expression of her true self.

I imagine that if Charlotte Bronte were writing today, and tackling the ideas of race identity that are found in Re Jane, her interpretation would be more complex and nuanced than Park’s. But Re Jane is meant to be a lighter

book, and is perfect for the beach.

I didn’t end up finding Jane Eyre on my overflowing shelves, so we did the next best thing and watched the 2006 BBC classic miniseries. The substitution served the same purpose – reacquainting us with old stories, and spurring on us on to look for more classics to tackle this summer.

‘Motorcycle in the sky’ Mark Brett

Western News Staff

Flying solo in his small autogyro over a rugged region of northern Ontario with dwindling fuel and no navigation, Mark Humbke admitted having second thoughts about his decision to fly from Quebec to Penticton.

“Going out of Wawa at the north end of Lake Superior my GPS and all the satellites were working good, there was a 500foot ceiling, then all of a sudden my GPS goes out and I looked at my compass and it was doing all kinds of crazy stuff,” recalled the 62-year-old Naramata resident, who had picked up the new German-built machine about a week earlier from the dealership in Saint Apollinaire, Que. “There wasn’t a house anywhere, it was all just bush. If I’m going 100 miles an hour and if I veer off and start going the wrong way and I run out of fuel I’m going to go down in the middle of nowhere.”

Sitting at the controls of the open cockpit two-seater aircraft which works like a helicopter with a rotor to provide lift instead of wings like conventional airplanes, Humbke had only a map as a reference. Fortunately he had taken a bearing just before everything stopped working.

“I knew where Marathon (Ont., the next fuel stop) was so I made a left turn and found the highway and followed it back, so everything worked out after all,” he said.

Ironically the airport manager at a previous stop in Elliott Lake, Ont. had given him some fire starter and matches in case he ran into trouble.

“He (airport manger) said you

know up by Wawa to Marathon, which is an hour and a half away, is kind of like the Bermuda Triangle of Canada and your compass will kind of make some funny movements and he was right,” said Humbke, who has over 500 hours flying time on autogyros and flown at several air shows.

“He told me if I went down to start a fire and if that doesn’t work start a bigger fire.”

With the exception of a few other comparatively minor incidents, mostly weather related “Now I know why they call it Thunder Bay” the rest of the journey was pretty much clear sailing.

In total, he made between 30 and 40 stops before finally touching down at Penticton Regional

Airport June 30.

Humbke’s passion for flying the unique aircraft began after he left the Middle East where he worked in the oil industry in Yemen and Lybia for 16 years.

It was landing in a commercial aircraft in New Zealand when he saw one and decided to have a closer look.

“I went up (flying) in the front seat and I went up in the back and I said I want to start doing this. I had lots of time so I spent eight months flying around New Zealand,” said Humbke who is now a certified instructor and hopes to get others interested in this particular form of aviation.

Pilot sailing through life From GYRO on PG. 12 Along with his latest Canadian sojourn, he has flown autogyros in aerial safaris in New Zealand, Coast Rica and is planning another in South Africa in the future.

“It’s something I’ll do the rest of my life, I never will quit and I can say that passionately,” he said. “It’s like a high-speed motorcycle in the sky.

“They’re just a lot of fun and it’s been really good for me. Good for keeping my mind active and being aware. In the aviation industry you’ve got to check, check, check because there are always a lot of variables.”

Humbke is not stranger to adventure. He began hang gliding at age 18, started a parasailing sailing operation in Penticton in 1979 (and two in New Zealand) and began a bungie jumping business near Skaha Lake.

For now at least, the Naramata resident is content to spend his mornings mapping out the next flight path to where ever his autogyro will take him which could be almost anywhere.

BC SPCA vet clinic opens Mark Brett

Western News Staff

Unlike most of its temporary residents, Dr. Mike Tigchelaar was actually looking for a new home with the BC SPCA. Having previously worked in Sechelt, Tigchelaar has taken on the role of veterinarianin-charge of the SPCA Penticton Veterinary Hospital. Through a special arrangement, Dr. Steve Harvey, who started the animal care centre four decades ago, transferred ownership to the agency.

“It’s an exciting day, having the open house and the amount of people who have come through has been really nice,” said Tigchelaar.

“This is my first day of work and my first day in the city as well so it’s a very warm feeling.

“It was just such an interesting opportunity with the SPCA to get in and mould this clinic and grow it to what it can be, I just couldn’t turn it down.”

Especially exciting for the vet is being able to work for an organization that’s mandate is to look after all creatures.

“We are going to be able to provide services that I wouldn’t have been able to before,” said Tigchelaar. “To

help people I couldn’t before and more particularly, animals I couldn’t help before.”

Attending the open house was Craig Daniell, chief executive officer of the BC SPCA. “That’s one of the things that really appealed to me when I started talking to Steve (Harvey) was just the sheer magnitude of the hospital and opportunity for expansion and the opportunity for us to provide added services all able to do that at the existing facility which is what we’re going to do over the next six to 18 months,” said Daniell.

The Penticton hospital is the SPCA’s second full-service facility in the province, the other is in Vancouver. It also has two spay and neuter clinics in Prince George and Kamloops.

Daniell added spaying and neutering will be a priority at the hospital.

“For me personally that’s very important because we want to ultimately prevent those animals from coming into our shelter and the best way to do that is to sterilize them,” he said.

Other services such as boarding and care of injured wildlife will continue with the possibility of providing emergency after hours treatment in the future.

Chief executive officer Craig Daniell of the BC SPCA (back) and veterinarian-in-charge Dr. Mike Tigchelaar at the BC SPCA Penticton Veterinary Hospital are seen with one of the young clients at a special open house July 6.

The SPCA has recently taken over the fullservice hospital from Dr. Steve Harvey.

Car buffs gathering Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

July 11 is going to be a special day for car buffs in B.C. For the second year in a row, the province has proclaimed July 11, and the month of July, as collector car appreciation day and month. Local enthusiasts will be gathering a day early to celebrate at the Riverside A&W in Penticton on July 10 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Bob Kelly, local director of the Specialty Vehicle Association of B.C., said the day is to celebrate their hobby, but also to recognize the work done in promoting tourism and supporting a variety of charities.

“Last year in Summerland, the car show we put on in September raised $3,500 — $3,000 went to various charities, and $500 went to a student from the high school to help him carry on in training to be a mechanic,” said Kelly.

Car enthusiasts of all ages are invited to attend to check out the vehicles or just share stories.

“It is a celebration of what you have achieved by putting your head and your hands to work,” said Kelly. “We are really out there to celebrate the collector car people and what they do for the community.”

The event is also to support the food bank. Kelly said a couple of barrels of food were collected last year at a similar event.

Areas treated by OBWB crews over the winter, including beaches, are largely milfoil-free.

“Other aquatic weeds are also early and dense this year, which may increase public perception that milfoil is an issue,” said Littley in a report.

“However, we are not permitted to target other species and several thickly weeded areas are not infested with milfoil specifically.”

PINNACLES FC keeper Natasha Reimer dives to block this shot in the girls U18 match against the Chilliwack Attack at King’s Park in the first game of the BC Soccer Youth Provincial B Cup championships. The Pinnacles scored first but gave up a second-half marker and settled for a 1-1 tie.

Mark Brett/Western News

Keeper helps U18 Pinns get draw Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

The Pinnacles FC under-18 girls were 10 minutes away from opening the B.C. Soccer B Cup provincial championship with a win.

Instead, the Pinnacles settled for a 1-1 tie with the Chilliwack Attack at King’s Park Thursday morning.

“A 1-0 win would had been better. 1-1 tie we still control our destiny,” said Pinnacles FC coach Carlos Mendonca.

The Pinnacles broke the scoreless deadlock midway through the second half when Sierra Yamamoto, fending off a defender, chipped a shot over Attack keeper Mackenzie Rae. The Attack managed to

get the equalizer as the Pinnacles lost track of the ball.

“My goalie (Natasha Reimer) played fantastic. She stopped a couple of sure goals,” said Mendonca, who is missing three of his regular forwards. “They were playing to the last 90 minutes. We have to make sure to clean and take care of the 18 yard box and nothing gets through.”

“Our goalkeeper was, hands down, player of the game,” said Pinnacle Jordyn Kowalchuk.

Mendonca found his team to be nervous at the start and said when facing an unknown team like the Attack, the players go through a feeling out process for the first 20 minutes. They want to learn how

the opposing team plays and what their strengths and weaknesses are. The Pinnacles adjusted once they learned that the Attack liked hitting their central strikers who possessed speed.

“Their game was very direct. We made sure our central defenders were more at home. Worked a little tighter together,” he said.

Kowalchuk said the tying goal was tough for them to give up, especially when they thought victory was within reach.

Now the team will regroup to face the Shuswap Selects Friday at 1 p.m. at King’s Park.

The full tournament schedule and results are available at the BC Soccer at www.girlsandboysbcups.bcsoccer.net/home.

Fotherby leads way at provincials Western News Staff

The KISU swim club took sixth in the Swim BC AAA Long Course Championships held in Thetis Lake near Victoria.

Justin Fotherby highlighted the performances for Penticton by winning eight gold medals.

“He had awesome swims,” said KISU coach Tina Hoeben, adding that Fotherby is ranked No. 1 in Canada in a few styles.

Ashley McMillan and Marlee Carurso placed first and third in the 400IM. Daniel Everton won bronze in 100-metre fly with a time of one minute, five seconds. Xelian Louw made Age Group Nationals in 100-m fly and the A final, while Reece Haberstock made his first Western time in 100-m fly. Jaren LeFranc snuck into bronze in the 100-m breaststroke with a strong finish.

“He totally out-touched fourth and fifth place swimmers,” wrote Hoeben on the club’s Facebook page. The boys 16 and over relay team cracked top eight with three 16-year-olds and a 14 year old.

Ashley McMillan drop six seconds in the 200 IM while chasing down the first place swimmer.

Evan Peters went from being ranked 28th in 200-m backstroke to second in consolation and dropped 12 second.

Elijah Kliever, 12, made his first 13-and -under age group national time and broke the club record in the 200-m backstroke. Acacia Benn and Justin Fotherby Marlee Caruso finished first and second respectively in the 200-m back after being ranked eighth. Both had strong performances with Caruso earning a split of 1:19 for the first 100. Her fastest stand alone 100-m back before the weekend was 1:23. Mackenzie Wallich made her first AGN time in 200-m back. The 12 and under boys relay took silver in the 4x200-m free.

Caruso and McMillan took bronze and silver in the 400-m free.

To start the championships, Jaren Lefranc and Tyler Wall made “on track” time, a Swimming Canada standard used for Team BC selections. Lefranc dropped five seconds from his 200-m breast stroke with a time of 2:20.

Wall made his time in the 50-m free.

Fotherby earned a top Canadian time in the 200 breast stroke. McMillan picked up KISUs first gold in the 800-m freestyle.

The fifth Prospera Granfondo Axel Merckx Okanagan (PGAMO) is going to be a celebration for cyclists.

Jason Curran of PGAMO said Sunday’s race is focused on celebrating new and returning riders heading for the fifth anniversary. PGAMO has offered the first 500 registrants and five-year riders a gift.

Those who took advantage of early bird registration were entered into a contest for a 2015 Trek Émonda SL bike valued at $4,500 “We try to recognize the people that have supported us from the get-go,” said Merckx, owner of PGAMO. “Looking at the value they had over the last five years year in and year out and the quality of

the event.”

Merckx said the weekend is about providing cyclists a safe bike ride in the South Okanagan Valley.

“It’s been five years now and every time I go back there it amazes me how beautiful the vines are,” said Merckx. “It’s something pretty exceptional that we can’t do every weekend. Riding on the roads are not always the best and safest thing out there. That’s what you feel like when you ride.”

The kids Piccolofondo at Gyro Park is considered one of the highlights. Merckx said having the kids fly around downtown is fun for him to watch. It reminds him of his youth.

“It’s those first things that you remember doing as a kid,” he recalls.

Dragon boat races tight Western News Staff

Penticton hosted the eighth annual Okanagan Super Sprints dragon boat races under near perfect weather conditions.

A record 23 teams and nearly 600 athletes competed on the waters of Skaha Lake over the weekend.

Each team raced three times with the combined time of the first two races advancing teams into mixed and women’s finals.

Despirit Housewives, the top local women’s team, advanced to the A final ranked third and beat the topranked Dragonfire from Kelowna by less than a second. Their winning

time of one minute was the fastest women’s time of the day.

Peach City Dragons, the top Penticton mixed team, took second in the A final in 58.6 seconds. They were less than half a second behind High Frequency from Kelowna. Local women’s teams Dragon Bottoms and 22 in Sync won the women’s B and C finals, respectively.

The Okanagan Super Sprints began as a way for local teams to practice racing over a shorter distance early in the season to prepare for the Penticton Dragon Boat Festival – one of the largest in B.C. – held in September. The sprints are also a fundraiser for Muscular Dystrophy

Penticton, with $16,000 raised over the past five years. This year’s donations were still being totaled, but are expected to push the five-year total close to $20,000.

Teams attending came from throughout the valley, and from as far away as Richmond and Kamloops.

The four-boat finals saw some of the closest racing of the day, with crews edging out the competition by tenths of a second.

To become a paddler, start your own team, or for more information about the Penticton Dragon Boat Festival, go to www.pentictondragonboat.com or e-mail info@pentictondragonboat.com.

Merckx : ‘You felt like a racer’

from GRANFONDO pg. 22 “You felt like a bike ride. You felt like a racer. Who knows, maybe it will generate some spark plug for passion for cycling. Not only for racing but for bike riding in general. It’s nice to see that true value of cycling starts there.”

The event is expected to have 2,500 cyclists which has been consistent since the inaugural year. Among the group will be two of Merckx’s under-23 professional Axeon Cycling team members Greg Daniel and Daniel Eaton. Eaton was crowned the U.S. U23 TT national champ. Curran also said Vancouver Canucks president of hockey operations Trevor Linden should be riding again.

While the majority of the participants are from Canada, there will also be cyclists from the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Italy, Mexico, Bahamas, Colombia and China.

Of the participants 77 per cent are from B.C. The average age for riders is 49 for males and 47 for females, who account for nearly 34 per cent of the cyclists. The oldest is 87-year-old Robert Allan of North Vancouver riding in the 92-kilometre Mediofondo. The event also features the 160-km

Granfondo and 55-km Cortofondo.

During the Piccolofondo, the family fun zone will be open at Gyro Park. On Sunday, the start chute opens at 6 a.m. with the race beginning at 7 a.m. Cyclists will depart Gyro Park before travelling through the District of Summerland and the towns of Okanagan Falls, Oliver and Kaleden. Finish area activities from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. include the family fun zone, live music, Tree Brewing Peloton Patio, massage therapy and a bike check and bag check. The finish line closes at 4 p.m.

Trailer jumping at Speedway Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Cars. Trailers. Jumps.

Those three things will be part of Hit to Pass Flying Destruction at Penticton Speedway Saturday at 7 p.m.

“I think it’s going to be pretty spectacular,” said owner Johnny Aantjes.

Hit-to-pass cars have the option for air time over a trailer. It sits between jumps spread 15 feet apart.

“At 40 to 60 miles per hour, some of these cars could get five to 10 feet of air,” said Aantjes. “They are going to go.”

The Speedway owner also has

volunteers to take the jump first.

“I never expect anybody to do something up at the track that I wouldn’t do,” he said. “The drivers are intimidated and excited. We always have a lot of guys that have a lot to say, but hit-to-pass drivers are usually courageous. We’ll see who really steps up for this one.”

Aantjes doesn’t believe there will be much left of the trailer once two cars have hit the jump and gone through. He stressed that drivers will have to watch their speed. The debris will be cleared to make room for the next trailer, of which there will be three.

“It’s going to be very exciting.

Everybody likes the action. Ev-

erybody likes the smash and the crash,” he said. “No one is really quite sure what’s going to happen with the first jump going through.”

Along with the Flying Destruction, there will be hornets racing, street stocks and the Okanagan Dwarf Club. The racing, sponsored by the Pasta Factory, concludes Sunday at 7 p.m. with hornets, street stocks and the Okanagan Dwarf Club again, with Eve of Destruction.

The Penticton Speedway has enjoyed a good season with only two weekends affected by rain and hot weather.

“I’m happy with the season. We just have to keep it going,” he said.

Pentictonites now have more options when they are looking for a vehicle.

Scion Canada announced its expansion in July bringing over 50 new Scion dealerships to Canada, including the newly embedded dealership at the Skaha Lake Rd. Toyota dealership.

The announcement brings five new models to the dealership with the Scion tC, the SmartCar-like iQ, the rear wheel drive, two-door FR-S and the iM five-door hatchback coming this fall. All adding to the existing lineup of Toyota models available at the dealership.

“We’re excited, what can I say? The lineup that Scion currently has is a very good compliment to what we don’t have in our lineup now, and we have 17 different models in the Toyota lineup,” said Larry Pidperyhora, dealer principle for Skaha Lake Rd. Toyota. “We don’t really have anything in the Toyota lineup of that nature, so it’s a really good compliment to what we don’t have.”

These additions make the Skaha Lake Road Toyota the only place to get Scion vehicles and parts in the South Okanagan.

“We have it exclusively in the South Okanagan, so that’s

Scion expert at the dealership.

“You personalize it based on you and your lifestyle and your accessories and your aesthetics, wheels, tires and spoilers, things like that.”

“You make it your own vehicle. They come one way and you decide what you turn it into,”Pidperyhora Jr. said.

The dealership will soon feature an interactive display where customers can walk up to a kiosk fitted with computers that allow them to custom build their own vehicle and see it get realized instantly.

“You come up and you’re interactive in how you build your car,” Pidperyhora Jr. said, adding the feature appeals to the younger demographic with the hope of easing in younger buyers coming into their first vehicle purchase.

The Scion name is a nameplate and marquee of Toyota, meaning the vehicles are all built by Toyota with the engines and the power trains being created by Toyota engineering.

“They are very unique. They fill the void Toyota has been missing for the last few years I feel. We have some two-door coupes and some sports cars and some more entertaining and exciting vehicles. They are all also incredibly affordable,” Pidperyhora Jr. said.

The lowest starting price is the iQ starting at $16,995.
