MUSIC FESTIVAL STRIKES A CHORD Simone Blais

Western News Staff

You wanna rock? Then i.Rock may be the answer in town. The City of Penticton will drum up local support for a large outdoor concert as council agreed in principle to a proposed music festival at Kings Park in July 2012. Chuck Loewen, recreation services general manager, told council that the city stands to gain between $24,000 to $30,000 under revenue sharing agreements with i.Rock Production from the 7,000 spectators attending each of the three days of the festival, which the city hopes to become a draw in Western Canada. “Unlike an indoor concert, music fans will travel hundreds of miles to an outdoor summer festival,” Loewen said. Kings Park was chosen because of its size — four soccer ¿elds — and amenities that include two buildings that could be used for change rooms and storage, fencing around the entire area, on-site power supply and access to trailer trucks. Given its proximity, Loewen said, the South Okanagan Events Centre could accommodate parking for recreational vehicles camping for the weekend, which could add revenue. With an estimated 60 to 75 per cent of spectators coming from outside Penticton, he said, the weekend will serve as a boon to hotels, motels and campgrounds. A shortage of campsites is anticipated, he continued, adding that the city will negotiate with the school district and green space providers to identify additional locations that could be suitable. Loewen said a beer garden operated by a nonpro¿t group would be on site, and food, beverage and merchandise would be sold to participants. Non-pro¿t displays and fundraising would also be permitted. To ease parking and reduce the risk of drinking and driving, a Àeet of buses will be leased to operate between various accommodation sites and Kings Park.

And those pesky security concerns that waylaid Penticton’s Sound of Summer concert this year won’t arise again, he said. “A professional, bonded security ¿rm will be hired for the Penticton festival,” Loewen said, adding that the security plan will be submitted to RCMP, ambulance, ¿re department and other emergency of¿cials for approval. “A private ambulance service will also be hired and available on site at all times during the festival.” In July, Penticton council denied Sound of Summer organizers a permit to hold the festival in Okanagan Lake Park after hearing RCMP concerns that safety issues including gang member presence had not been addressed. The festival, headlined by Flo Rida and Lupe Fiasco, ultimately was cancelled because not enough time was afforded to change venues. The music genre for the new Penticton festival has not yet been ¿nalized, although folk, country, classic rock or a combination of those has been suggested. The principals of i.Rock proved to be an easy sell for council: Don Kendall, past-president of Peachfest, joins Nakusp Music Fest producer Willi Jahnke, BPG president Chris Briere, local businessman Carl Nystrom and Penticton Lakeside Resort marketing manager Vanessa Jahnke. Coun. John Vassilaki said he was happy to see “honourable” people from the area on board with the project. He also stressed that if another festival was planned for the area, organizers will have to press through future issues to ensure the city doesn’t get a reputation for failed events. Coun. Judy Sentes said that while Kings Park is “an excellent venue,” neighbouring residents might have concerns about noise and community groups like SOYSA might be impacted by any damage to the soccer ¿elds. Loewen said a “comprehensive communications plan” will be drawn up to discuss with neighbours and SOYSA has been contacted. The organization has a tournament two weeks from the proposed July 27 to 29 dates, and provisions will be in place to mitigate deterioration to the ¿elds as well as set up a damage deposit system.

March brings comfort to victim’s family Simone Blais Western News Staff

Brandy Cummings winces a little as she explains it’s her ¿rst time at Take Back the Night, that it took something so horri¿c to happen to her family to prompt her attendance. “It’s kind of sad, when I think about it, actually,” Cummings said, looking around at the crowd of 100-plus people gathered at the Ooknakane Friendship Centre Thursday night. “I think we need people to see it matters and that people care. “I feel for all the people, those women who were raped, for having to go through that. No one should have to go through that.” No one should have to go through what her family experienced this summer, either, she says. She got a phone call in August saying her mother, Lynn Kalmring, was dead and her commonlaw husband, Keith Gregory Weins, had been arrested in her death. “When you have a loss as big as mine, there’s just no words,” she said quietly. “But being here, I see there’s other people who feel it too. I’m amazed at all the signs. I feel like I’m not alone.” Cumming said she struggles with anger that ebbs and Àows, and how her family has lost its sense of security during both night and day. “It’s like living a nightmare,” she said, trying to shake it off by looking at the crowd. “I think she would be really happy with all of this. If there is such a thing, she’s watching and she’s

ter this summer with all the attacks on women in town,” she said, pointing to her three-month-old son, Phineas, on her lap as a reason to seek change. “I’m fearful to walk at night in our community.” Raging Grannies’ Cass Robinson detailed the history of the women’s protest organization and called on the new generation of women to raise a little hell in the ¿ght for change. “We need more Raging Grannies who will stand up and make fools of themselves,” she said. “It doesn’t take balls to be strong, folks.” Women’s centre legal advocate David Desautels described how he often drives his daughter and granddaughter to school or work to ensure their safety, and detailed how his wife cannot take the same trails or shortcuts alone as he can — despite contributing equally in taxes to build them. “An escort or a ride home is not always possible.

Regulations complicate city’s plan for deer hunt Simone Blais Western News Staff

The city’s deer plan is becoming all talk and no action according to one councillor frustrated with delays. Penticton development services director Anthony Haddad gave a progress report Monday night on the urban deer management strategy recently approved by council. Haddad said that staff have contacted the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations about changing the status of hunting in the area. A no-shooting area is currently in effect for Penticton, which ultimately only allows for bow and arrow hunting. Changes may not be effective until the 2012 hunting season. One glitch in allowing controlled public hunting will be the overlap between city bylaws and provincial legislation.

Haddad explained that the city has a bylaw to regulate or prohibit the discharge of ¿rearms within city limits, which will have to be changed to allow for discharge on land zoned agricultural, parks and golf courses with a permit. But the ministry’s regulations about ¿ring in populated areas supersede city bylaws, the progress report notes. The capture and cull element of the program also requires involvement from the province. The city must obtain a permit from the Forest Ministry to trap deer, and in the application, Penticton must identify how the trapping will occur, who will monitor the traps and where the traps will be placed. Haddad said Cranbrook hired a contractor to oversee monitoring. The ministry has also traps for use in culling, and can be transported to the area for a cost. Staff are also reviewing various laws in existence that pertain to the issue: the Wildlife

Act, ¿rearms legislation and the city’s outdated ¿rearms bylaw from 1988. The city will also have to draft a no deer feeding bylaw to be approved by council. But the progress was not enough for Coun. Mike Pearce, who kick-started the debate in July with the original notice of motion calling for drastic measures to be taken to address aggressive deer in town. “I’m not seeing any action,” he said. Pearce told council about a phone message he received from an older female resident who said she lives alone, apart from the 14 deer that sleep in her yard all the time. The woman, who gets around with a cane, is “terri¿ed” of the animals who won’t leave her property. “This lady is terri¿ed and waiting for this council to do something to take care of the issue,” he said. This is the second time Pearce expressed his desire for the city to move quickly. He told

council in August that he didn’t want changes to be bogged down in committee work; suggesting instead that the city “get the guys with the guns, or the bows and arrows or whatever we’ve got to be doing and let’s do this take out properly.” On Monday, however, staff couldn’t offer any other news. “We’re working with the ministry to make this happen as quickly as possible,” Haddad said. “Unfortunately, it’s not going to happen tomorrow.” Mayor Dan Ashton suggested Okanagan hunters could help by keeping deer over-population in mind when heading into the bush this fall. While a controlled public hunt will not likely be in place, he said the current hunting season on Crown land could assist. “We all know there are issues that need to be addressed on this,” he said. “There is a bit of a bureaucracy to go through with this.”

EMERGENCY RESPONSE — Members of the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department and BC Ambulance service extricate a patient after having to use the jaws of life rescue equipment to access to the inside of a 1995 Honda Civic following a single vehicle accident on Highway 97 ﬁve kilometres south of Penticton early Sunday morning. The northbound car reportedly struck a deer, crossed the road hitting a ditch and rolled several times. Three young Kelowna men were taken to hospital with what are believed to be non life-threatening injuries.

Accidents claim two lives Kristi Patton Western News

A pair of fatal accidents have delivered a devastating blow to Okanagan Falls. A 71-year-old woman is dead after being struck by a vehicle while crossing the street in Okanagan Falls on Friday evening . RCMP said Alma (also known as Yvonne) Cumberland was crossing Highway 97 near Willow Street around 7:20 p.m. when she was hit by a westbound vehicle driven by a 60-year-old Penticton man. That incident came just a day after RCMP dive team members retrieved the lifeless body of an Okanagan Falls woman from Vaseux Lake on Thursday. The 44-year-old woman drove her 1996 Pontiac Grand Am off Highway 97 and into Vaseux Lake around 2:30 p.m. RCMP said attempts by citizens, police, ¿re and ambulance personnel to extricate her were unsuccessful as the car had sank. The RCMP dive team attended later that night and the vehicle and

woman were found. No other vehicles or people were involved in the crash. Cpl. Dave Cramm, of the integrated road safety unit, said there was limited street lighting in the area where the pedestrian was struck Friday night, and the Okanagan Falls woman was wearing dark clothing. Cramm also said the portion of the roadway was not designated as a pedestrian crossing area. “With any pedestrian-vehicle related crash it is subject to review by the Crown prosecutors of¿ce, so we will complete our investigation and the re-constructionalist in Kelowna will present us with a report based on his interpretation of the crash,” said Cpl. Bryce Petersen. “From there, the prosecutor will make the decision on whether or not they feel any type of charges would go towards the driver, but that will be months down the road because it has been so busy this summer.” Petersen said now that it is getting darker earlier, pedestrians should remember to wear bright clothing and be alert of their surroundings.

“The society of automotive engineers has done a number of experiments and observations over the years and basically what they have found is that people over the age of 14 don’t use crosswalks consistently. There are people who will use crosswalks consistently but the majority will walk mid-block,” said Petersen. “The rule in the Motor Vehicle Act is a pedestrian has to yield to a vehicle when not in a crosswalk, in other words they have to make sure it is safe to cross. The onus of responsibility does not fall on the driver of the vehicle all the time. You have to look at sight distance and a variety of other factors before you can make the determination that the driver of the vehicle is or is not at fault with regards to a crash outside of a crosswalk.” The fatal pedestrian-vehicle crash is still under investigation by South Okanagan Traf¿c Services. Anyone who witnessed the incident or has related information is asked to contact traf¿c services at 250-499-2250 or call CrimeStoppers.

EDITORIAL

Events strengthen community’s resolve

t may have been sorrow that brought them out. It could have been fear for the safety of themselves and their loved ones. Or it might have been a simmering anger over the pain inÀicted upon the community that prompted so many to take action. The motive that inspired more than 100 people to take to the streets of Penticton last week is not as important as the message they delivered during Thursday’s Take Back the Night march. The march helped provide some comfort to the family of Lynn Kalmring. “I feel like I’m not alone,” said Lynn’s daughter Brandy Cummings. Kalmring was shot to death in her Penticton home in August, allegedly at the hands of her common-law husband. The homicide left a gaping hole in the lives of the family and friends who had been touched by Lynn’s loving nature. Many were prompted to take action by the fear and anger they felt over the late-July attack on a 22-year-old Penticton woman. The woman was tied up and brutally beaten inside an Ellis Street second-hand store, all before the eyes of her 22-month-old son. The community’s outrage over the vicious attack is only rivalled by the inspiration that can be found in the courage and resilience shown by the victim. And those are only the most high-pro¿le of the violent incidents the community is still coming to grips with. It is not surprising, then, that so many took to the streets on a sleepy autumn night. And each one was undoubtedly accompanied by the thoughts and prayers of countless others in living rooms and of¿ces throughout the community. There is little that can be done to keep the monsters of this world safely outside the city’s gates. But events like Thursday’s march show that their actions cannot diminish our sense of community, and only strengthen our resolve to be there in our neighbours’ time of need and do what we must to stem the tide of violence.

Dumb leaders attack smart meters The annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention spent quite a bit of time talking about new wireless technology. Unfortunately, most of it was wasted on ignorance and fear, fanned by the NDP, Green Party and some like-minded opportunists in local government. A tiny group of protesters gathered outside the Vancouver convention centre each morning, setting up a pile of picket signs wailing about imagined smart meter sins from privacy invasion to human rights violation. One of them allowed that she was wearing “special clothing” to ward off the bad rays. That’s understandable, since BC Hydro calculates that a delegate’s wireless signal exposure from four days at the UBCM convention is equivalent to standing next to a smart meter for 1,147 years. And that’s not even calculating those other horrible sources of electromagnetic energy bombarding downtown Vancouver, such as traf¿c lights, spark plugs, and let’s not forget the Sun or Earth’s molten core. It wasn’t all foolishness, however. I attended an economic development panel, at

Views which physician and cabinet minister Margaret MacDiarmid described the continuing extension of rural cell phone and internet service underway since the extension of the B.C. government’s contract with Telus. There was not a discouraging word about cell phone towers, the innovation that spawned the anti-wireless cult in California many years ago. Quite the contrary. MacDiarmid was beseeched to get cell service to northern Vancouver Island and un-serviced parts of the Interior, and to cut through the multi-ministry maze still required for routine approval of towers. Cell phones save lives on remote highways.

In the main hall, supposedly experienced municipal leaders continued to parrot fear of “microwaves” and such drivel, either because they believe it or because they are pandering to those who do. This continued on talk radio, which stoked the smart meter “controversy” all week, apparently because it reliably generates angry calls. The descent into farce became complete when delegates had a show of hands on a resolution to place a moratorium on a smart meter installation program that BC Hydro has already paid for. The vote was too close to call, so they had to ¿sh out their wireless voting devices to vote about 55 per cent in favour of the moratorium. Premier Christy Clark was asked after the convention if her government would contemplate a moratorium on meter installation. “No,” she replied. This is not surprising, since the motion effectively asks BC Hydro to waste $930 million. “I’ve spent quite a bit of time talking with the experts about it,” Clark said. “I don’t share those health concerns, because when we’re surrounded by wireless and cell phones, there are a lot of other sources of the

problem that they’re concerned about.” I’ve argued with numerous people about this. They often start with an exaggerated claim about the World Health Organization’s risk rating. In fact, WHO acknowledges that people who claim hypersensitivity to electromagnetic signals can’t identify them in controlled studies. WHO also notes that cell phone tower emissions are effectively ¿ve times weaker than the FM radio and TV signals to which we’ve all been exposed for decades. Cell base stations reach no more than two per cent of international limits. And smart meter signals are much weaker than that. I’m done arguing with people who make up their own facts. I’ll just address those who haven’t bought into this nonsense. Please, survey your council candidates on smart meters, and on Nov. 19, support only those who have the common sense to understand what a smart grid is.

Beneﬁts of airstrip expansion up in the air Would an expansion of the airstrip in Osoyoos, located roughly 20 minutes by car from the 3,200-foot runway at the airport in Oliver and equal distance from Oroville’s airport across the border in Washington, be in the best interest of society? Broadly, quality of life in our Canadian mixed economy depends on private investors who, in pursuit of pro¿t, invest in economic production and in businesses which distribute wealth in the community via employment and create a tax base for needed government services. Even more important, the standard of living depends upon good government, which with a precautionary approach ensures private as well as public investment. And use of tax does not usurp social, economic and ecological reali-

ties, but rather adds value and solves issues facing society — using fewer resources. Hence the society that makes up the economy of Osoyoos and the South Okanagan should welcome private investors that show the private sector meets its task in our economy. However, the most important question here, as in all economic development, is: will the government meet its task and its accountability to society. Will an expansion of the Osoyoos airstrip, minutes away from other airports in the area, be the best allocation of scarce resources, and thus in the best longterm interests of society? The always clear and present danger is that politics cannot be understood without the use of natural and social science. Therefore, the society that makes up the South Okanagan’s

Debt is Campbell’s legacy

Recently the ultra right-wing “think tank,” the Vancouver-based Fraser Institute, praised former premier Gordon Campbell as the most ¿scally responsible premier in all of Canada. Most media outlets carried this news with headlines and straight faces. Those of us familiar with the imaginative studies of the institute virtually burst out laughing at the idea. I would like to set the record straight as to just how ¿scally responsible our former premier was. In 1991 the Socred party was defeated and left the newly elected NDP with a debt of $20 billion. Ten years later, when the NDP was defeated, the province was in debt to the tune of $32.6 billion, of which $12.6 billion had been accumulated by the NDP. Supporters of the NDP always liked to suggest that in their last year in of¿ce they had a surplus of $1.2 billion. Technically correct, this did not wipe out their debt. (Finance ministers like to create confusion between the term “debt” and “de¿cit.”) Fast forward to 2011. Liberal debt now stands at $53.4 billion, plus an intentionally unmentioned contractual (P3) debt of $46.4 billion, for a grand total of $99.8 billion. So, during the last 10 years our provincial debt has climbed $67.2 billion. This would compare very unfavourably with the accumulated debt of $12.6 billion by the NDP. A lot of folk have also been questioning the appointment of Gordon Campbell to the prestigious position of High Commissioner to England. But to suggest that he was also the most ¿scally responsible premier in Canada only adds insult to injury. Frank Martens Summerland

Recently we were in Penticton/ Summerland for our son’s wedding to a

economy should expect a prudent independent analysis of the proposal aimed at expanding the airstrip in Osoyoos as it should for any economic development or allied proposal. Perhaps a prudent analysis will show that the best for society at large in the South Okanagan region would be to upgrade Oliver’s airport to CAT I. Or, why not extend the runway in Oliver from 3,200 to 3,600 feet and render it a Category III A, with a decision height less than 100 feet? I would prefer the latter. Will the political decision of whether or not to expand the airstrip in Osoyoos reÀect new thinking and new possibilities, based on understanding produced by relevant research, and collaboration in the region of what is best for the region at large? Or,

will the decision become another example of patron-

age driven politics and municipal turf protection over-

riding social, economic and environmental realities?

of the curve. That’s why we did our core services review, and this council has been committed to making it as minimal, if not nothing, as possible.” Asked if he had signed the pledge on Wednesday, Ashton was quick in dismissing the idea. “I have a lot of respect for organizations on both sides of the fence, but we’re doing things based on what’s good for Penticton. In my opinion, that should be a council decision and go on from there,” he said. “I’m a very wellknown ¿scal conservative myself. So I don’t need to sign a pledge to ensure that I’m doing the best job to make sure the minimal tax impact is passed along to the citizens.” There were several civic of¿cials, however, that did sign on to the document Wednesday. Shachi Kurl, the B.C. director of the CFIB, said the initial response is good, considering her group was told not a single incumbent would publicly support the pledge. She’s hoping candidates for municipal of¿ce will carry the taxpayer pledge message into their campaigns. The UBCM executive issued its own analysis this spring, rebutting several years of CFIB claims that municipal spending is out of control. The UBCM analysis points to rising police, ¿re¿ghting and recreation costs, as well as those imposed by senior governments such as paying for carbon offsets.

Colwood Mayor Dave Saunders is one who signed the pledge, although he isn’t seeking re-election. He said the tax targets are similar to what his council has accomplished by this year, and he would have signed the pledge if he was running in November. Unionized municipal workers have to look at the state of the economy and see if their wage demands are holding back the growth of their community’s business tax base, Saunders said in an interview. “The private sector can’t expect a cost of living pay increase every year, so I don’t think it’s fair in relation to union or private to say one’s going to get it but not the other,” he said. Joining the CFIB in this year’s push for spending restraint is the Independent Contractors and Business Association. The ICBA produced a report detailing a similarly steep rise in municipal fees for construction, linking it to union contracts that feature pay and perks well beyond the private sector average of recent years. ICBA president Phil Hochstein said “goldplated” union contracts with wage increases beyond inÀation and bene¿ts such as cash payouts for unused sick days are a key driver of costs. “Unions are not to blame,” Hochstein said. “It is municipal politicians who have forgotten how to say no to everything but tax increases.” With ﬁles from Tom Fletcher

The Place For New Beginnings

Irish Rovers charm crowd Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

After 45 years, the Irish Rovers have lost none of their ability to charm an audience. The group’s lineup may have changed over the years, but as soon as the Rovers broke into their ¿rst song, it was clear they still had the magical touch that has kept them in the hearts of Canadians for nearly half a century. That ¿rst song was their rendition of the classic The Irish Rover, which gave the band its name back in 1963 when a group of Irish expatriates got together to form a new folk band. The story of the Irish Rovers is one for the big screen; three of their own award-winning international television series (including the top rated Irish Rovers Show), television specials, topping the music charts again and again, and almost 50 years of touring their music around the world, including this latest. But it would be wrong, though, to think that the Rov-

ers are resting on their laurels and only playing their classic hits. The ¿rst half of the concert featured several new songs, including some drawn from their latest CD, Gracehill Fair, and

their latest television special, Home in Ireland, which kicked off this tour. Songs like The Dublin Pub Crawl, Boys of Belfast, Rambling Boys of Pleasure joined old

favourites like Wasn’t That A Party, Drunken Sailor, and The Unicorn. And then there are the stories, old and new alike, interspersed with the music — and the audience laughing, applauding and singing along throughout the concert. Having a good time is what it’s all about, according to George Millar, a founding member of the Rovers and still their principal songwriter. There is no special message on the Rovers’ stage, he said, other than life’s a bit short, so let’s enjoy our two hours together. Though the band now calls Vancouver Island home, the present tour is named for their latest DVD/television special, which Millar said shows the beauty of their birthplace in Ireland to Canadian audiences. “Home In Ireland is basically The Irish Rovers ‘Coming Home’ because that is our home, for all of us. We want to show the world what the northeast Irish coast is like. I’ve travelled the world now for over 40 years and there’s nothing like it,” said Millar.

Penticton author writes about Yukon women Western News Staff

Though she has been a wrtier for most of her working life, Penticton author Claire Festal is just getting around to publishing her ¿rst book. Next week, she’ll be holding the Penticton launch of her debut book, Remarkable Yukon Women, at Hooked on Books starting at 7 p.m. on Oct. 13 with a talk and book signing. The book features pro¿les written by Fes-

tel and accompanied by portraits of 50 Yukon women as portrayed by artist Val Hodgson. While the subjects of the book have diverse backgrounds and include businesswomen, community leaders, homemakers, writers, athletes, mothers, teachers, a senator and a gold miner, they were all chosen by Festel to embody the spirit of the Yukon. Remarkable Yukon Women started over dinner at a mutual friend’s house. Hodgson, who

had lived in Whitehorse for 35 years, had begun painting an ambitious body of work that would celebrate Yukon women. Festel, a writer and consultant who had lived over 30 years in the Yukon, had a lifelong ambition to capture, through real life experiences, the allure the North holds for the timid to the independent and resourceful modern pioneer. It seemed only natural for the two of them to collaborate on a project that would eventually

encompass both an art exhibit and a book. Festel spent hours conducting interviews and months more writing and editing the pro¿les that provide a window into the lives and personalities of these 50 women. By telling their stories, Festel attempts to provide understanding into how and why this remote frontier adds not just colour, but depth, sensitivity and strength to the Canadian story. One of the “remarkable women” featured

in the book, Rusty Reid, will be attending and taking part in the event with Festel. Reid, who has been playing the ¿ddle for over seven decades, was one of the founding members of the Northernairs Dance Band, which continued for 56 years. Now living with her daughter in Penticton, she maintains a home in the Yukon. Call Hooked on Books at 778-476-5621 for more information about the event. Admission is free.

A moving and often hilarious portrait of family, love, loss and self discovery, Beginners deftly juggles chronologies as it focuses on two major points in the life of Oliver, a talented illustrator. One timeline follows Oliver’s relationship with his father who is dying of cancer but this is not the only news that catches Oliver off guard; his divorced father, at age 75 has also “come out” and just like that, has a new wardrobe, a new boyfriend and and an entirely new outlook on life. The second, later timeline sees a bereaved Oliver approaching a new relationship with a young actress with bravery and humour. Warm and understated, this thoroughly enjoyable ﬁlm explores how deeply funny and transformative life can be even at its most serious moments.

Albas challenges wine barriers Simone Blais Western News Staff

Wineries may have something to toast with the fall session of the Legislature, as a local parliamentarian takes on a federal law that has gathered more dust than perpetrators. Conservative MP Dan Albas (Okanagan-Coquihalla) has devoted his ¿rst private member’s bill to championing a long-held cause for the local wine industry: taking down inter-provincial importation of liquor. On Monday, Albas presented the bill which calls for amendments to the Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act, which would allow for inter-provincial importation of wine for personal use. He said Friday that he drafted the bill after hearing from so many in the riding about the issue this summer. “When I’ve asked them about different ways to help their local economy in the region, that came up from people who not only produce wine and the agricultural sector, but also everyday people,” he said. “We have world-class wines here. Why can we sell it in the States without hitting these borders, but why is it between Alberta or another province? Why is it still there? “The answer is it’s Prohibitionera legislation made in 1928, and it makes it illegal to purchase wine in one province and bring that wine

back home. That law acts as an interprovincial trade barrier.” Albas said the law may have been on the books for Dan Albas almost a century, but it hasn’t been put to work much in those decades. His research has shown that no one has ever been charged or ¿ned under the act. “Ultimately, most Canadians would agree this law is outdated, impractical and some people have told me they think it’s downright silly,” he said. “That’s the reason why I’m making this issue my private member’s bill, because it’s an issue that will be a bene¿t to Canadians as a whole.” In addition to allowing Canadian residents to carry wine across the border for their own use, the amendments also open the door for provinces to oversee winery shipments direct to consumers across the country. “Small wineries who are legitimately playing by the rules now are at a disadvantage. People would agree this is a modest but necessary change,” he said. Private member’s bills do not, however, have a strong record of receiving royal assent. Only a fraction are ultimately passed by Parliament and the Senate. Albas said that

he has been speaking with Ontario colleagues whose constituencies also feature burgeoning wine industries, and also sees potential support across the House from Opposition colleagues, given NDP MP Alex Atamanenko (Southern Interior) has written in support of similar changes. “At the end of the day, this is a law (that makes) what most people consider a regular practice an illegitimate exercise. This is one case where we as parliamentarians, we can show that leadership and make some reasonable changes,” he said, adding that less red tape means more red wine for a¿cionados across the country. “Wine consumers don’t have the freedom of choice to sample from the winery of their choosing… “We know ¿rst hand in the Okanagan the value of a thriving wine industry. I think opening up the Canadian market to consumers will bene¿t the wine industry across Canada as a whole.” Albas’s motion comes on the heels of movement by the B.C. and Canadian chambers of commerce, which have been calling for action on the federal level to remove interprovincial importation legislation. Albas said those interested in seeing the bill’s progress can visit a Facebook site devoted to the cause by searching “End wine prohibition in Canada,” where they can sign a letter to be sent to their local MP.

BEST S of the 2011 2007

Stompers were once again at the fun forefront of the annual Festival of the Grape Sunday in Oliver Like past years, thousands of people crowded the Community Centre Park to cheer on their favourite fruit crushers and sample some of the region’s best varietals during the afternoon celebration. “We’re here to have a good time — lots of fun and this is a huge part of that,” said co-ordinator Ed Dukes, sporting his traditional multi-balloon headdress and nodding in the direction of the competition site. “Everybody loves this event and the participants really get into it as you can tell be some of the costumes. “But the real reason it’s so popular? Well that’s probably the wine, if you know what I mean.” Mix in the delectable delights offered up by the many food venders,

the family friendliness and other unique aspects of the event and you have the perfect recipe for success, according to the organizer. “It’s also a chance to see old friends and meet new ones,” said Dukes. “Along with the locals we get people from all over, a lot from Vancouver and some from Calgary and Edmonton and I believe some people actually came from San Diego this year.” Visitors like Ken Strandell of Coquitlam, who while he may be an out-of-towner, is no stranger to the festival, volunteered his time again this year at the stomp. “We’re having a blast,” said Strandell as he piled another pitchfork of grapes into a competition barrel. “I like to be involved in the community and I love the smalltown atmosphere and everybody getting together.

Vees look slick on ice

Scoring 18 goals to earn four points against the Prince George Spruce Kings and Trail Smoke Eaters is something for Penticton Vees fans to Emanuel Sequeira A Man Advantage smile about. Speaking of numbers, Joey Benik has switched to No. 9, which he has tattooed on his arm and Cody DePourcq sports 19. He especially looked good when he joined Steven Fogarty (91) on the rush, feeding the New York Rangers draft pick, who opened the scoring with a shot that beat Smoke Eaters netminder Matt Larose along the ice blocker side. How about their new jerseys? Very nice. With the colour scheme, the names and numbers look good. Benik said the jerseys are “sweet.” “We look really sharp in them,” said Travis St. Denis. The Vees sealed a nice home opener, which included an impressive light show the night before (as they beat the Spruce Kings 9-2). Against the Smoke Eaters, they were equally impressive offensively as they were defensively. The Smoke Eaters recorded just 17 shots. That might be the easiest win rookie goalie Chad Katunar is going to get. When speaking to Katunar, he never mentioned easy.

Steve Kidd/Western News

RYAN REILLY makes his move to bust through the prince George Spruce kings defence. The Vees forward scored two goals during the 9-2 win on Sept. 30.

“It’s never as easy as it looks,” said Katunar, who felt great getting his first BCHL win. “I was nervous in there.” While the shots were 13-9 for the Vees after one period, Katunar said it was crucial for him to make those saves for the game to develop into the blowout it was. St. Denis didn’t disappoint with his parents in the stands. Against the Spruce Kings, he racked two goals up three points. Then against his hometown team, St. Denis’ excitement

helped him rack up another two goals and four points. “It felt unreal,” he said. “I think I had a bit of a motivation before the game. Anyone who plays their old team has that. I definitely felt like I had an extra jump or two coming in against Trail.” He wasn’t the only Vees to light up the opposition, as Connor Reilly collected three points against the Spruce Kings and set up three against Trail, including Mario Lucia’s goal that made it 3-0. Lucia is either going to be incredibly good as this season goes on or the Smoke Eaters are going to have a long season — in a painful way. The Minnesota native scored on a play in which two Smoke Eaters sandwiched him, yet Lucia still managed to get a shot away. Perhaps goalie Matt Larose wasn’t expecting it as it beat him low glove side. St. Denis said he wasn’t surprised by what the Minnesota Wild draft pick did. “He’s a big boy,” said St. Denis of the six-foot-three, 195-pound forward. “He has a Mario Lemieux-like reach. He’s a really strong guy. You can tell why he got drafted second round. Pretty much just him wanting the puck more than them.” Next up for the Vees are the Merritt Centennials on Wednesday, at 7 p.m. in the South Okanagan Events Centre. The Centennials recently lost to the Westside Warriors 5-4 in overtime.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Jamie Craig was key in helping the Pen High Lakers senior girls volleyball team go undefeated during a tournament hosted by Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops. Lakers coach Paul Smith said he has never seen Craig play so well. She did everything Smith asked for and more. Craig strives to be the best captain she can be this season for the Lakers.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Emanuel Sequeira is the sports editor of the Penticton Western News.

Lakers senior girls gelling as a unit Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Jamie Craig hasn’t been on a Pen High Lakers volleyball team that was so tight. Players are connecting on a level she hasn’t seen and Craig said that is a big reason the Lakers didn’t lose a match during a tournament at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops over the weekend. “The big key was being able to communicate,” said Craig, one of the leaders that coach Paul Smith will count on. “I’m looking forward to this season.”

Smith liked what he saw from his players and the results they got, but he wasn’t getting overly excited. “The competition until playoffs was not the strongest,” he said. This season the Lakers coach is working with 10 new players. The tournament was an opportunity to see who would fill roles, who would step up. It enabled Smith to give all his players time on the court. “Overall I’m very pleased,” he said. “I think some people really showed a lot of potential.” The Lakers, who won their first

game of the season sweeping the Mt. Boucherie Bears, prepare to play the Rutland Voodoos today. When asked what kind of team he has, Smith laughed then said he doesn’t really know yet. “They do some things very well,” he said. “They do some things not so well. Still growing, still learning.” Once the Lakers start facing stronger opponents, Smith said that will help determine the character of his team. “We didn’t play any of the top five teams,” he said. “That’s going to determine how good we are.”

Senior boys

After finishing second in a competitive pool with a 3-1 record, the Pen High Lakers senior boys volleyball team placed 13th in the 40-team tournament. The Lakers found themselves matched up with Langley Christian (ranked No. 1 in AA) but lost. The Lakers lost their third game of the day against Crescent Heights from Alberta. “They would have liked to finish higher but they played some high-calibre teams and are beginning to play better,” said Lakers coach Scott Harkness, whose team plays in Rutland tonight.

Yates growing with Highlanders Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Jana Yates dreamed of playing for a Division 1 college in the U.S. Things didn’t quite work out like the Summerland native hoped, but playing for the Victoria Highlanders in the United Soccer League is proving she has the talent to reach that level. “A lot of those girls play for those top universities in the U.S.,” said Yates. “Even though I didn’t reach that D-1 level, I’m still in that same pool.” Prior to joining the Highlanders, Yates played for the Middle Georgia College Warriors then Auburn University Montgomery Warhawks in Alabama in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. While it wasn’t a bad experience, it just wasn’t the big show. With the Warhawks, Yates was voted to the All-Southern States Athletic Conference women’s soccer team and Lady Senators recipient of the Musco Lighting Champion of

vharacter award given to an athlete who shows respect, responsibility, integrity, servant leadership and sportsmanship. In Victoria, Yates’ experience with the Highlanders almost didn’t happen. Ready to pack up and leave Vancouver Island to play in Kelowna, Highlanders coach Dave Dew, also an assistant coach with the UVic Vikes, noticed her while she trained with the university team and gave her a tryout. Yates decided to give it a shot and wound up playing nine games. “She did quite well considering it was such a high step up for all the players except a couple,” said Dew. “Though she didn’t get into every game, she was pretty much dressed in most and did really well coming off the bench.” Yates, a first-year engineering student at UVic, chalked up her rookie season as an eye-opener. The experience gave her confidence that she can still grow. “There is a lot more

Jana Yates

players out there with more experience and a lot to learn from,” said Yates. Dew, who coached the Highlanders to a 1-10-3 record in its first season in the W-League, likes how Yates is on the ball and the confidence she displays. “She’s not afraid to take people on one-onone,” he said. “What we found when she first came here was that she liked to play centrally. Because of the needs of the team, I needed someone with a left foot that could play on the outside. She started to fill that role quite well.” Dew sees more growth in store for Yates. While she can’t play this season because she transferred from another school, she will start practising full-

time, in January as the Vikes season ends in November. Being in an environment that allows her to train four to five times a week will help her into next summer. He sees sound decision-making on her part and the ability to score from a distance. With the Highlanders, Dew see Yates helping with their wing play in an attacking midfield role. “She has a good work ethic,” he said. “I really liked her attitude towards the game. She is quick. Is smaller, has a great competitive attitude. Doesn’t back down.” The main downside to Yates’ experience in the USL is she didn’t feel ready to play at that level. “Everything was a learning experience for me,” said the 21-year-old. Now she feels faster. The speed of the game and intensity was new to her. “I’m very glad that I stayed and played the season with the Highlanders,” said Yate. “I’m looking forward to next year already.”

Needham, Rigby in WHL

Penticton minor hockey products Matt Needham and Carter Rigby are making early impacts with their respective Western Hockey League teams. Needham, 16, leads the Kamloops Blazers in scoring with three goals and seven points in seven games. Rigby joined the Kelowna Rockets from the Prince George Cougars and has two goals and three points in two games. He also racked up 17 penalty minutes against the Vancouver Giants in a tilt.

Cougars mount big comeback win

Trailing 18-13 in Southern Interior Football league action Sunday, the Penticton midget Cougars made a comback to defeat the Cranbrooks Rams 48-18 in

Cranbrook. Sunday’s matchup started with Kyle Patan running in for the touchdown with Morgan Kruger converting the single point. Brady Roguski started the second quarter putting a pass in Patan’s arms giving the Cougars a 13-0 lead. Then the Cougars defence hit some rough patches as the Rams returned a kick for a 110-yard score. That was followed by Roguski and Patan each throwing interceptions. Second half action saw Cougars tight end Chris Nowroski running nearly 100 yards. Patan connected with Brandon Woods for a TD, then Patan connected with Brody St. Martin for another score. Roguski collected another two TDs as did Patan. The Cougars next game is against the Vernon Magnums in Vernon on Oct. 16. Find full briefs at www.pentictonwesternnews.com.

THE RIALTO BRIDGE is one of the sites you can take in during a relaxing cruise along Venice's Grand Canal.

Romance your way through Venice Venice is elegant, precious, inimitable, entertaining and romantic. It is a jewel of the Italian touristic landscape where churches, buildings, old bridges, monuments and piazzas are a record of the artistic and cultural vivacity that marks the history of this city. Venice, famous for its historic carnival, Murano glass and Burano lace, can be visited on foot, via small lanes called “calli” and numerous bridges, or by boat, from steamboats to gondolas, carried by the water to admire unique views and scenery. Piazza San Marco, with its basilica, mosaics and its domes, the Doge’s Palace, the labyrinth of lanes dotted by shops and workshops, churches decorated with paintings, sculptures and frescoes, museums and even the most hidden piazzas, are all unforgettable. Venice and the water: two indissoluble entities, two worlds that complement each other perfectly. Indeed, its waters are the theatre of many events. Take a walking tour to get a view of all the important monuments from San Marco Square to the Rialto Bridge. Or, hop on a relaxing cruise along the Grand Canal while learning the history of the stunning palaces and churches that line this famous wa-

250-493-5757

terway. For the quintessential Venetian experience gondoliers will play music and sing songs, for a fee, while you take in the sites. The Province of Venice hosts, throughout the year, various events, festivals, feasts and cultural performances, some of them internationally renowned. Venice is known for several important artistic movements, especially the Renaissance period. You can also choose to go shopping in the typical crafts workshops and in elegant boutiques. The famous glass of Murano, the beautiful necklaces made with colourful pearls, the terra-cotta masks, the typical venetian desserts: these are some of the gifts you can get for yourself or for your family, as a souvenir of this unforgettable place. If you are in Venice you cannot miss the bacari, typical venetian wine bars and taste exquisite cicheti (appetizers) with an ombra (glass) of wine. Venetian gastronomy is generally de¿ned as frugal cuisine not for its quality, but to underline its humble origins. Nowadays many of the typical recipes have been revalued by great chefs and have become examples of culinary excellence, thanks to the delicacies obtained from the land and the sea. For those who love a bit of nightlife there are many opportunities: you can let yourself go in one of the various discos or spend the night at the Casino of Venice, testing your luck.

JAYME DONOHOE and Adam Kereliuk cradle their dog Emma, who was shivering from the cold despite being dressed up in an Ogopogo costume for a fashion show, part of the Dog Days of Summer at See Ya Later Ranch.

Blasted Church annual midnight service on Friday and Saturday where Memphis Blues BBQ House will serve food alongside Blasted Church wines in Okanagan Falls while a blues-folk-soul band plays. The event wraps up

with the Valley First Grand Finale Consumer Tastings on Friday and Saturday from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre. The Valley First Âżnale is a way to tour many of the Okanagan wineries without all the travel.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really encourage people to attend that event because this year we have more than 80 wineries there. It is the largest event and there is a pretty good chance for those who are attending to come across wineries they have never even heard of,â&#x20AC;? said Ferreira.

A ticket to the Valley First Grand Finale Consumer Tastings includes live entertainment, souvenir wine glass, wine tasting, bread and cheese and a free ride home. Tickets are available at www.valleyÂżrsttix.com or by calling 1-877-763-2849.

Fall is one of the most interesting seasons around a winery as the grapes start ripening for harvest, also making it one of the best times for a wine festival. Celebrating its 31st year, the Okanagan Fall Wine Festival runs until Sunday with over 165 events spread throughout the valley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deÂżnitely the largest of them all. A lot of that is because it is 31 years this year, but also has to do with the fact that it is one of the most exciting times to be out visiting the wineries because everyone is in harvest,â&#x20AC;? said Christina Ferreira, Okanagan Wine Festival Society co-ordinator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is so much activity, so rather than just seeing the wine shop you get to see all the activity around the winery itself.â&#x20AC;? A twist at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Okanagan Fall Wine Festival is instead of announcing the awards at the end of the 10-day festival they were announced last Friday to kick it off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This way people wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss who the award winners are, but the Ă&#x20AC;ipside of that is you will really have to make sure you get out to the wineries before the festival is over to make sure you pick up your award winner, because the chance is if you wait too long they will be gone,â&#x20AC;? said Ferreira. Included in the 2011 Okanagan Fall Wine Festival winners were Naramataâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Red Rooster Winery winning Best Red with their 2009 Reserve Syrah, Summerhill Pyramid Winery earning Best White with their 2010 Riesling, Best Dessert Wine went to JacksonTriggs Okanagan Estate for their 2009 Proprietorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Grand Reserve Riesling Icewine, and Volcanic Hills Estate Winery in Kelowna won Best New Winery. Left on the schedule of events for this week include wine education events like tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bognerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Boutique Winery Cooking School in Penticton where, chef Darin Paterson guides you through farm-to-table cooking, dinners including Hester Creek Estate winery Tuscan dinner in Oliver on Friday, featuring a multi-course Mediterranean dinner prepared by chef Heinz Schmid, and events such as the
