TRIUMPHANT RETURN
Hundreds welcome national champion Penticton Vees Kristi Patton
Western News Staff
Not many can say they are more devout Penticton Vees fans than sisters Shaelynn and Jessica MacLean. The pair, dressed in Vees jerseys, were among the estimated 200 people who gathered at the South Okanagan Events Centre on Monday to welcome home the national champion Penticton Vees from Humboldt, Sask with the RBC Cup. The MacLeans made the 1,500-kilometre road trip out to Humboldt to watch their favourite team. The pair, along with their mom, drove 17 hours straight to make it back in time to see the Vees pull up to their home rink with the championship trophy. “We have been going to games since I was about eight years old and became season ticket holders the last ¿ve years. We love them because they are such hard workers and good role models for the community,” said Shaelynn. For Jessica there is only two seasons, “the Vees hockey season and the time in between.” Having followed the Vees out to Brooks, Alta. to watch them take the Doyle Cup, they de¿nitely were not going to miss the national championship tournament. Jessica said tears of joy fell as they watched the Vees defeat the Woodstock Slammers 4-3 in a thrilling championship game. Chants of “RBC” were bellowed by the fans and cheers erupted as the Vees stepped off the bus hoisting the RBC Cup, even more so when Penticton-born players Cody Depourcq

and Logan Johnston took their turn with the trophy. Vees fan Jean Mitchell showed up to greet the Vees and the RBC Cup dressed in a white T-shirt with the Vees logo on the front and the autographs of all the players on the back. In her hands she grasped her trusty cowbell and a homemade “We love you Vees” sign with pictures she took of the players and fans. Mitchell said she had been following the team for years and decided to get season tickets in Section 108 this year. “I sit right behind the bench and I love it. I got their backs, so to speak,”

them you get to know all of them during the season, and the games bring together people from all walks of life. Of course, the SOEC staff and volunteers are super too, and you couldn’t ¿nd a better bunch.” Vees coach Fred Harbinson spoke highly of the Penticton fans, some of whom yelled “great job” and “way to go Fred” as he came off the bus on Monday evening. “They have been unbelievable all the way through. Since Christmas time I don’t think we have had a crowd under 2,000, and in the playoffs, round three and in the last

Mitchell said proudly. She watched the championship game from home on the live broadcast on TSN2. “I knew Joey Benik was going to get it,” she said of the game-winning goal. “I was pulling for him, and sure enough he did it. I was almost in tears. It was so cool.” Mitchell said it is more than just hockey that draws her to the team and the SOEC, it is about community. “They are just great guys and they bring community spirit,” said Mitchell of the Vees. “Even the fans that sit in your section: If you don’t know
game almost 5,000 fans. They have been a big push for us when we need that push,” said Harbinson. “We had a great group of people that came out and supported us in Humboldt and we hear about all the things going on back home. People like going to the SOEC or just going to the bars and watching the games. This town deserves a lot of credit and they de¿nitely deserve this championship.” Vees team captain Johnston said the whole experience still seems like a dream to him. “I don’t even get it right now. When I look back on it, I think I will get a better grip on it,” said Johnston looking over the crowd. A parade for the Vees will depart from Pen High at 4 p.m. today, travelling down Main Street and along Lakeshore Drive to Power Street where it wraps up in the SOEC parking lot. The SOEC will then host an RBC Cup Celebration and Awards Night for the Vees at 5:30 p.m. The event is free, but the public is asked to pick up their tickets in advance from the SOEC box of¿ce.

Pen High hosts celebration of a century And all of that was lost when the auditorium was demolished in 2008, despite a legal challenge and considerable community opposition.
Joe Fries
Western News Staff
J
ust over a month from now, the ¿nal bell will ring to mark the end of the 100th year of instruction at Penticton Secondary School. To celebrate Pen High’s history, organizers have planned a three-day celebration for this weekend that will welcome alumni and the community to recognize the milestone. The modern building at the centre of the celebration bears no resemblance to its earlier self, yet the heart of Pen High has apparently changed very little in a century.
END OF AN ERA
“The whole destruction of old Pen High was a sad thing,” said Snyder. “ The community and the school were linked vitally; nobody’s been in the new school.” The former English teacher has just published a book, Tales out of School, containing 15 months’ worth of newspaper columns that illustrate important people and events from the school’s past. He has also spent the past four years researching Pen High’s history, which he hopes to publish in book form later this year. Snyder’s 33-year teaching career there ended with retirement in 2003. He considers the years 1974 to 1987, under the direction of principal Dave Shunter, to be the school’s golden age. In that era, Snyder said, the school’s staff rivalled any in B.C., sports teams won pennants by the bunch and its drama students staged topnotch productions, like Cats and Jesus Christ Superstar. After Shunter’s departure, the school saw two new principals in 21 years, before the reins were taken in 2008 by Bill Bidlake, whose own era is quickly coming to a close.
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
It’s hard to imagine a humbler beginning for Pen High than the converted workshop that welcomed its ¿rst class 101 years ago. The shop, rented from a local contractor, occupied the northeast corner of the intersection of Winnipeg Street and Westminster Avenue, now the Bank of Montreal parking lot. Accounts vary, but the ¿rst class, on Sept. 5, 1911, numbered between 20 and 26 students. They shared textbooks and sat on benches made of long lengths of rough lumber. The one-room school didn’t even have a blackboard, but it did, apparently, have soul. “Our school room had none of the comforts of the modern school building, but it is not the splendor of the building that makes a school, but the character of the boys and girls who sit at its desks,” founding principal John Marr reportedly said. That ¿rst class got to work with little fanfare. “There was no opening ceremony,” Marr recalled, “we just met and started work.” The school’s population grew to 32 students by the end of that year.
MOVING RIGHT ALONG
Pen High ¿rst pulled up stakes in 1913, when it took over the elementary school between Main Street and Fairview Road where the library-museum complex stands today. The elementary students had been moved across the street to the new Ellis Building, leaving behind their four-room facility for the high-schoolers. By the time the Shatford building opened next door to the Ellis in 1921, Pen High had grown to 69 students. The student body kept growing until 1937, when the school’s third incarnation opened on the site that it occupies today. That building only lasted until 1949, however, when it was destroyed by ¿re. During construction of the fourth Pen High, classes were conducted in the Anglican Church basement, portables, the Legion and the armoury. Students were ¿nally brought back together again under one roof in 1953. The school’s current chapter began in 2006, when demolition and reconstruction

began on today’s Pen High, from which 300 students are expected to graduate next month. The $40 million rebuild was conducted in three phases and took three years to complete. Since it moved to Eckhardt Avenue in 1937, Pen High, and the historic buildings that surround it, have anchored the city.
PILLAR OF THE COMMUNITY
In a physical sense, the site boasted the city’s biggest buildings on one of the highest — and highest pro¿le — spots on the valley bottom, which is unusual, said Penticton Museum curator Peter Ord. “In most western communities, for hundreds of years, that was always taken over by the church.” What’s more, the brick buildings, made from locally sourced materials, were among just a handful of such structures in the community, said Ord, so they were “something quite distinct, quite prominent,”
FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH
Once Penticton hit its stride following the Second World War, Pen High became the city’s youth headquarters, which helps explain the strong sense of nostalgia it inspires. “I think Penticton really is a youthful town,” Ord said. “It’s hard to believe now with all the retirees, but if you kind of see the imagery you get, particularly in the 1950s, it was a place where youth was celebrated through festivals, through sports, through arts and culture. “And all that springs from Pen High,” he continued. “It’s kind of been the fountain that provides the youthfulness.” Local historian David Snyder agrees, but says the school has lost some of its star power since it was rebuilt minus its auditorium. The 750-seat venue had excellent acoustics and hosted countless drama productions, concerts, all-candidates forums and notable speakers. “All of the community events took place in the auditorium,” Snyder said.
Bidlake’s career as an educator began as a student-teacher at Pen High in 1977, and will end when he retires as the boss there this summer. “I don’t think you can go out in a better way. This 100th anniversary is not about me, but it’s lovely in the fact that you happen to be a part of it,” he said. “I think somehow the stars were lined up that way.” Bidlake, along with architect and Pen High alumnus Cal Meiklejohn, are co-chairs of the event organizing committee. It’s anyone’s guess how many of Pen High’s graduates, estimated to number around 20,000, will return for this weekend; the 75th anniversary in 1983 attracted 1,700. About 800 people have registered for this Friday night’s gala at Pen High, while all 600 tickets are gone for the Saturday night dance at the Lakeside Resort.
WHAT WOULD MARR THINK?
It’s doubtful John Marr could have foreseen how the Pen High he opened back in 1911 would grow and change and eventually occupy such an important place in the city’s lore. And despite presiding over what is one of the most modern schools anywhere, Bidlake still agrees with his predecessor that it’s what’s inside that counts. He doubts, however, that Marr would comprehend what Pen High has become in a strictly physical sense. “He wouldn’t understand why we’ve gone to that extreme,” Bidlake said. “I think it would knock his socks off.” For more on Pen High’s celebration, visit www.Penhigh100.com.

Are you ready for that next new or used vehicle? Call on Joe or Kent for top quality customer service.
Three recreational vehicles were destroyed Monday morning in Summerland when a ¿re broke out in one of them and quickly spread to the others. “We had one trailer fully involved when we ¿rst arrived and then it quickly spread,” said Summerland ¿re chief Glen Noble. The Summerland Fire Department was called to the Illahie Beach RV Park in the Trout Creek area just after 6 a.m. Monday. “We were pretty quick to get it
knocked down and contained just to those three units.” Noble said there were two residents in each of the units, all of whom got out safely, along with a pet cat that was rescued by one of the residents. The three units, Noble explained, were semi-permanent homes, hooked into facilities at the RV park. Like mobile homes, he said, they were of lightweight construction. “I think mobile homes are a lot better than they used to be now. There are new construction codes, but these are older RVs as well,” said Noble, estimating the age of
the units as anywhere from 10 to 20 years old. “They are older and it is very lightweight construction so they tend to burn fairly rapidly.” The cause of the ¿re is yet to be determined. The Summerland Fire Department has called on the provincial gas and electrical inspectors for help in the investigation, and they toured the scene with Noble on Monday. “We will await their reports to see if they come up with anything,” he said. “We have an area of origin where the ¿re started, but we haven’t at this time been able to determine the exact cause.”

The City of Penticton’s search to ¿nd a new developer to purchase a group of nine city-owned lots on Eckhardt Avenue is over, but it will be some time before a winning bid is selected. “We are in the process of going through them now,” said city director of development services Anthony Haddad, who con¿rmed that three bids were received during the month-long request for proposal process, which closed on May 8. “It is an extensive review process,” Haddad said. Three bids is a reasonable return, he said, as the city didn’t go into the process with any set idea how much

interest the RFP would generate. “We left it open,” he said. “We are hoping that we ¿nd a successful candidate amongst these as we review them.” The city put out the request for proposals on the properties in early April, after a previous deal with developer Loren Reagan collapsed. That deal, with a sale price of $925,000, was made in November, but never closed. However, Reagan was allowed to begin work on the property before the city received payment in order to facilitate his project, a dormitory for the Okanagan Hockey Academy. That deal came to a crashing end in March when Reagan’s backers pulled out and news broke about allegations of previous fraudulent business practices on Reagan’s part. That left Penticton with the land and some very unhappy contractors who had not been paid for their work, who then placed liens on the property totalling more than $1.5 million. How the bidder plans to deal with those liens is one of the main criteria that will be used to evaluate the three bids, along with the proposed purchase price, the suitability of the development proposed and the experience and ability of the developer. “We don’t want to make a quick decision for the sake of making a decision,” said Haddad. He expects it will be sometime in June, at least, before staff are able to bring a recommendation to city council. Other than the number of bids, Haddad isn’t giving away any details, citing the con¿dentially of the RFP process, as he refused to make a general comment on whether the three bids proposed similar uses for the property or varying concepts. “They are all con¿dential. I can’t go into details,” he said.

City celebrates a banner year
T
he abundance of riches enjoyed by the South Okanagan grew a little bit larger on a sunny Mother’s Day afternoon. Penticton, long renowned for its peaches and beaches, can now lay claim to Canada’s top Junior A hockey franchise. The Penticton Vees won the 2012 RBC Cup in dramatic fashion Sunday, as Joey Benik scored with less than a minute to play to give the Vees a 4-3 win over the Woodstock Slammers. The win capped off a season for the ages for the Vees, who reeled off a record 42 straight wins on their way to a record of 54-4-0-2. The Vees then dispatched the Chilliwack Chiefs, Merritt Centennials and Powell River Kings to win the BCHL crown. The Game 5 Doyle Cup win over the Brooks Bandits in front of 4,700 fans at the South Okanagan Events Centre earned the Vees their ticket to the RBC Cup. But the ¿ve-team tournament in Humboldt, Sask. would be anything but a coronation for the Vees. Penticton opened the tournament with a pair of losses, before their blue-collar work ethic and never-say-die attitude helped them claw their way to Junior A Hockey’s ultimate prize. And the community’s appreciation for “our boys” was clearly in evidence Monday night as hundreds turned out to the South Okanagan Events Centre to welcome the national champion Vees back to Penticton. The festivities continue tonight, with a victory parade leaving Pen High at 4 p.m. and winding its way to the SOEC for the Vees RBC Cup celebration and awards night starting at 5:30 p.m. The sun is shining, the fruit trees are beginning to blossom and the lakes are beckoning those who walk along their shores. Yes, there’s a lot to celebrate in the South Okanagan this year. But it’s the skill and hard work of a group of talented young men that has forever seared a place in the community’s heart.

BC Ferry fleet sails into storm The B.C. government has rolled out its plan to reform BC Ferries, continuing the structural and cultural shift that started when the Crown corporation was quasi-privatized in the early years of B.C. Liberal rule. Politically, there is a lot at stake here. Premier Christy Clark’s year-long “families ¿rst” routine boils down to two projects, reining in rate increases at BC Hydro and BC Ferries. For weeks, Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom has been signaling there is bad news to come. Sparring with the NDP in question period, he has bluntly and repeatedly said the days of fully staffed vessels sailing with a third (or less) of their capacity are coming to an end. Tabling legislation to give the ferry commissioner new powers over service levels as well as fares, Lekstrom revealed $80 million worth of sugar to help the tough medicine go down over the next four years. That’s on top of the $150 million annual subsidy. Quadra Island politician Jim Abram was ¿rst out with the predictable view of the Gulf Islands elite, dismissing this sum
Tom Fletcher
B.C. Views as paltry. It’s dif¿cult to capture how self-centred and insulting this is, but I’ll try. Consider that the B.C. Transportation Ministry spent $460 million last year on highway operations. That’s for the province’s entire vast, weather-battered road network. This year’s operating subsidy to coastal ferries is approaching $200 million, nearly half of that. And increasingly, it goes to subsidize getaways for those who choose isolation for its own sake. Basic ¿nancial information also exposes the falsity of NDP ferry critic Garry Coons’ one-note critique. It’s part of the highway system, he constantly
says, comparing empty ferries with empty roads while ignoring the mandatory ferry staff and other costs. This ¿scal-fantasy policy implies another huge increase in subsidy, much of it a transfer from working people to the idle rich who can afford Gulf Islands real estate. Coons can’t say how much, probably because he has no idea. A key legislative change will allow BC Ferries to use revenues from its pro¿table main routes to subsidize little-used runs. This would be even more important if those revenues hadn’t been squandered. And no, I’m not talking about the “fast ferries.” The story is detailed in Head On!, a 2004 book by former B.C. deputy highways minister R.G. Harvey. He describes how the Mike Harcourt government completed the “gross error” of building a new terminal at Duke Point, near Nanaimo. This run was to take truck and other traf¿c from congested Horseshoe Bay to the mid-Island from Tsawwassen. An alternative route from Richmond to Gabriola Island, with bridges to Vancouver Island, had been
quietly scuttled after the W.A.C. Bennett government was defeated by the NDP’s Dave Barrett in 1972. On a map, it’s clear this would have been the shortest route. Harvey says it would have cut travel time by half, and likely replaced the congested Horseshoe Bay dock. But Barrett would have had to tell his Nanaimo ferry union supporters that they were losing half their work hours. Tsawwassen to Duke Point is 65 km, compared to 54 km from Horseshoe Bay to Departure Bay. A ferry worker’s shift includes two round trips and loading time. On the Duke Point run this meant at least eight and a half hours, “thus ensuring the crew at least one hour at double time daily and often more,” Harvey writes. “Later it became a scheduled overtime route.” Something to keep in mind as Adrian Dix and his crew of union bosses prepare to take the helm.

Danger from deer overblown
In defence of the ER
I was appalled to hear Mr. Siemens’ attack regarding the waiting time in the ER. According to Mr. Siemens, his wife was ‘looked after’ immediately while he parked his car. This means that the hospital established why she had come to the ER and asked for the name of her family physician. Family physicians are noti¿ed of ER visits made by their patients. She had also been sent to X-ray. The next step in the process was to see the doctor. Apparently his wife decided it was taking too long and said ‘Let’s go home.’ Although his wife was ‘complaining about a lot of pain’, when her husband suggested going to the ER, the priorities seemed to shift from ‘a lot of pain’ to being kept waiting. The waiting seemed to override the pain and, in fact, the waiting became the paramount issue, so much so that they left the ER without waiting to be seen by a doctor. I know something about the ER in the Penticton Regional Hospital because I have been there about 10 times this year with a recurring condition. They are a very professional and caring group who do their very best for the patients. Yes, there were times when I also had to wait to see the doctor. This is understandable since there are considerably more patients than doctors. I was happy to wait because I was in a safe medical environment. I view Mr Siemens’ complaint as self-focused with no understanding of how an ER operates. The hospital quickly establishes the seriousness of the condition that brings patients to the ER. Those with life-threatening conditions are priorities. It does not operate on ‘a ¿rst come ¿rst serve basis’. I have had nothing but the best treatment in the ER at Penticton Regional Hospital, as did Mr Siemens’ wife. The difference was that my condition required a doctor’s input and I was happy to wait till one was available. Mr. Siemens’ wife, on the other hand, did not feel it was important enough to wait for the doctor’s diagnosis and
wildlife. We should feel proud that Penticton is still country enough that we have bit of wildlife left. Yes, deer have nuisance value, but so do other animals we interact with. Woodpeckers and Àickers like to bang away at our exterior woodwork, mice and spiders invite themselves into our homes without permission, raccoons get into our garbage. Why are the deer being singled out for such severe reprimand, and why are proponents expecting to use tax dollars to solve their garden problems? I wouldn’t expect the city to make a ¿nal solution for my woodpeckers; why are these misguided anti-deer warriors asking for public cash to ¿x a minor problem? Council’s budget is tight enough as it is without frivolous campaigns like this deer crusade. Put up a fence or some nets and get on with life. Wally James Penticton
left. Perhaps she should have simply made an appointment with her family physician instead of going to the ER. Thank you Penticton Regional Hospital ER — you are a ¿ne group of caregivers and I wanted to defend you. Vi Brown Penticton
Cycling is a choice
In response to Rowena Tansley’s letter “Cyclists not the problem,” it was, in my opinion, a typical response. Firstly, ICBC, according to an article in the Western a few weeks back, stated that they had contributed to safety issues, no mention that they pay to build roadways. This may also surprise you, but I also cycle, but I do not need a lesson on who pays for our roadways. I’ve probably paid for it longer than you’ve been alive. It is true that the roadways are used for getting goods to market, etc., but until we as the motoring public see bikes loaded with products and goods going to market, in our region, cycling is still, in no particular order of importance, a sport, a hobby and an alternate way of mobility, the latter being in the minority of the mobile masses. Cycling is your choice of how you want to get around, and as I said earlier, I cycle, but I am not arrogant enough to think a cheque should be sent to me because I choose to do this. I would also suggest that you just suck it up, dig into your pocket and pay for your own tune-up just like the rest of us. John Wyllie Okanagan Falls
Fire victims need support
Re: Oliver Fire April 30, where more than 30 seniors were displaced from their homes with little more than that was on their back. I did not know these people except for the parents of a couple who reside above us. Fortunately there were no injuries and that’s by the grace of God. I know what they are going through because we too have lost
everything with no insurance, unfortunately. I spent only four months in the VGH Burn Unit, realizing it could have been so much worse. I think it is for this reason that I am asking our community to show the compassion, which was once shown to me. I keep hitting brick walls when asking how I can help and everybody needs documentation. These people need bedding, linen, toiletries, pots and pans, bare necessities to try and start their lives over in the mid 70s (it can’t be easy). If anyone has been through this before, please contact the Western News with some ideas where we can help these senior citizens get through their dif¿cult time. Let’s show them that there are still caring and compassionate people living in our society today. From a burn victim who survived a house ¿re and would not have made it without the help and the compassion of the community.

The recent letter from Carol Newton (May 2) is to be commended for its honesty. Finally, an anti-deer voice that admits what I’ve suspected all along: this is not about safety, it’s about gardens. Please, cull and relocation advocates, just be like Ms. Newton and ‘fess up; you’ll feel much better once you do. All this hysterical nonsense about people being injured and danger to pets and children is just a front for the real motivation: they’re annoyed because the deer are eating their plants and shrubs. Anyway, I have some good news: salvation is at hand. Two new technologies are emerging that promise to prevent the scourge of deer-nibbled cedars and Àowers: fences and netting. I’ve also heard that radical green activists are experimenting with plantings that are unpalatable to deer, but that’s probably just wild-eyed lefty propaganda. If I’m sounding Àippant, it’s because this is a silly issue. The deer are not dangerous, they’re just

Supporters of a national park in the region outnumbered opponents by a two-to-one margin, according to a 2007 survey commissioned by Parks Canada. The result is contained in a much-anticipated Park Canada feasibility study that explored the creation of a national park in the South Okanagan-Similkameen. The study was submitted to the provincial government in January 2011, and released publicly for the ¿rst time last week when it was sent to the B.C. NDP in response to a freedom of information request. Environment Minister Terry Lake in January 2012 cited a lack of public support when he con¿rmed the province had pulled the plug on the idea. “While we know there is some support, it’s obvious to us there is still a lot of local resistance, so we don’t want to impose something on the local area that doesn’t have a strong level of support,” Lake told the Western

News at the time. “When you do something of this magnitude you want more than 51 per cent, you need a lot of support.” The 2007 survey, conducted by mail, received 777 responses from around the region. It found 39 per cent of respondents slightly or strongly supported the park, while 19 per cent slightly or strongly opposed it. But 43 per cent of those polled had no opinion or wanted more information. Lake came under the gun Monday in the provincial legislature, when NDP environment critic Rob Fleming asked why the government “killed the proposal” when the study “shows a majority of the regional population supports it.” Fleming also took a shot at John Slater, the Liberal MLA for Boundary Similkameen, whom he accused of Àip-Àopping on the park. Slater “supported it, opposed it and supports it again,” Fleming said. Just hours later the Liberals issued a statement from Slater that said he “was very disappointed to hear Mr. Fleming misrepresent my position” on the park. “My position has not changed: I support the province’s decision to withdraw from the national park initiative,” Slater continued, citing too many unanswered questions about the park. He said the province recognizes the “important conservation values” in the proposed park area and there “are existing methods available to protect these invaluable grasslands and we will continue to explore these options.” The 2010 park concept contained in the study featured two separate areas totalling 284 square kilometres, down from the original 650 square kilometres. The smaller, northern component centred on Vaseux Lake, while the southern portion featured a large swath of grasslands east of Oliver and Osoyoos but west of Keremeos.

A troubling battle with alcohol is the reason Harjevan Gill said he robbed his Oliver neighbour. Gill pled guilty to break and enter, disguising his face with the intent to commit an offence, using an imitation ¿rearm and two breach of conditions on Monday at the Penticton provincial courthouse. He was sentenced on Tuesday morning by Judge Meg Shaw to two years less a day in jail and three years probation. Gill, 26, has been in jail since he breached his conditions in March 2011 and received no credit for that time behind bars. It was around midnight in January of 2011 that Gill walked into his neighbour’s kitchen through an unlocked door brandishing a weapon and demanding money. Richard Walker was awoken by footsteps in his kitchen and went to investigate. Gill pointed a riÀe at Walker demanding money. The homeowner went to the closet and pulled out $200 from his wallet, which Gill took. Although Gill was wearing a mask, Walker said he knew the man’s voice as one of the sons of his neighbour. RCMP arrested Gill the following day and found clothing similar to what the intruder was wearing in his bedroom. A .30-calibre riÀe was found in the garage but it could not be proved if it was used in the incident. Gill then breached his release conditions to not be in contact with the couple when he went to their house asking for forgiveness and offering Walker the chance to punch him in the head. The man was also found to be under the inÀuence and was acting belligerent towards the RCMP of¿cers who arrested him for the breach. Shaw said she read the victim impact statements and noticed “troubling comments” from the victimized couple. “The break and enter into the home of Dr. Kilpatrick and Mr. Walker will have long-term effects for them concerning their safety and security. Some people never recover or have peace of mind,” said Shaw. Gill’s probation will include conditions that he is on a curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. during the ¿rst six months, a lifetime ¿rearms prohibition, that he abstain from alcohol and drugs, and not contact the victims or be within 10 metres of their property, school or workplace.

BLUES VETERANS B.B. King and Lucille (left), along with rhythm guitarist Charlie Dennis (below) and the rest of King’s touring band played to a packed house at the SOEC Saturday. After signing autographs, King (above) dons hat and overcoat as he prepared to leave the stage.
Still King of the blues Steve Kidd
Western News Staff
There are good concerts and there are bad concerts. Then there are concerts you know you are going to remember forever. From the moment B.B. King walked on stage at Penticton’s South Okanagan Events Centre, it was clear that the 86-year-old bluesman loved being in front of an audience. His eyes twinkled as he picked up Lucille, his latest guitar to share that name in a line of Gibsons stretching back to 1949, and set out to show how he had earned one of the top spots on Rolling Stone list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time, launching the concert with Baby, I Love You. And when King and the band ¿nally got around to playing one of his signature songs, The Thrill is Gone, it was clear that the thrill wasn’t gone for the King of the Blues as he played the Roy Hawkins/Rick Darnell song Àuidly to a
cheering audience. But it would be wrong to think of this as just another concert with a big star. King, with incredible showmanship — honed by some 15,000 concerts over his 60-year career — made it personal, eventually insisting that the house lights be turned on so he “could see who he was singing to” and even encouraged female audience members to give their partners, or neighbours, a kiss during a bluesy, smooth rendition of You are my Sunshine. It was also a tribute to King’s showmanship that you quickly forgot you were sitting in an arena that had recently been ¿lled with ice and
cheering hockey fans. The arena walls faded away as King drew the audience close, making it seem less like a concert than sitting in the kitchen listening as Granpa Riley chatted and told stories while playing a few songs for you with his friends. It would be nice to say that King still had everything he once had. But time robs us all, little by little, and so it was with King, who at one point couldn’t remember the song he planned to play next. With some artists, such a failing might have brought jeers, catcalls or anger from the audience. But there were no recriminations — though there was more than one bit-

tersweet, sympathetic tear shed — as King struggled to remember the music for a few moments before moving on. “I hope you didn’t stay with me out of courtesy, I hope you stayed because you wanted to,” said King, as he let the audience know how much he appreciated their patience. “May I come back again?” All good things must come to an end, though, and King eventually pointed out that he had been given the cue to wrap things up. Still he lingered, seeming to not want to give up the stage and the connection he had forged with the audience. “If I do one more, will you sing with me?” he asked the audience ¿lling the now brightly lit arena, before launching into When The Saints Go Marching In. And sing we did. King did one more encore, Rock Me Baby, before putting on his hat and signing autographs from the stage.

A little bewildered, amused and stunned is how you feel after getting off the phone with George Thorogood, probably the exact same feeling he wants his audiences to have. Although, that will be up to the fans. “You are playing for different people every night so it has got to be a different show,” said Thorogood who was sitting on his tour bus doing the interview by phone, from a location he did not want to divulge. “If it is a quiet crowd it will be a quiet show, if it is a loud crowd expect it to be loud with a lot of energy. You never know until you get out there and start strumming away.” Thorogood is a road warrior. For 35 years, blues and rock and roll have kept Thorogood and the Destroyers cruising all over the world performing. In 1980 they played 50 states in the span of 50 days. Having tripped around most parts of North America, Thorogood can riÀe off almost all of the Canadian provinces, missing only the northern territories. He also can belt out a pretty mean rendition of Canada’s national anthem, which he offered over the phone “for no extra charge.” While one can only imagine how dizzying

it is spending night after night heading to the next gig, it is understandable why Thorogood’s down time is quite literally just that. “The activity of getting 10-to-12 hours sleep is very underrated. With my time off what I do is rest, getting into a horizontal position as much as possible,” said Thorogood. In fact, he even made
up a little ditty about it mid-interview, a song he said he would call I Nap Alone. “One chair, one sofa, one pullout,” he sings in his raspy voice to the tune of One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer. “How does that sound?

off the chorus to Bad to the Bone and Move It On Over, Thorogood has been essaying the Chess Records repertoire since his debut album in 1977. He has cut 18 Chess covers over the years, a label that was home to Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley. It lit a ¿re for Thorogood and the Destroyers. Their latest album 2120 South Michigan Avenue just happens to be the Chicago address of the label. The catalog of music became the sources of Thorogood’s higher education in music. 2120 South Michigan Avenue isn’t just Thorogood’s salute to a great record label — it also pays homage to the tough, larger-than-life men who made the music. “It was a lifestyle as well as an art form, as far as music goes,” Thorogood notes. “They were singing about what their life was like on a daily basis. Sonny Boy Williamson and Wolf and Muddy Waters – they didn’t think they were the baddest cats in the world, they knew they were the baddest cats in the world. They had to be, or they wouldn’t have survived. There’s nothing glamorous in it – that’s just the facts. They had to ¿ght their way through on a daily basis just to keep their heads above water. That’s very clear in a lot of their songs.” Through the entire project, Thorogood and the Destroyers attempted to put their own distinctive spin on the Chess material while maintaining ¿delity to the originals. “That’s a religion, and you’ve gotta do it right,” he said. Thorogood also said he never gets tired of playing songs that he is most known for, or tired of rocking out for fans night after night. Just question him on how he is doing. “Bad,” he said. Bad? “Yeah, like bad to the bone,” he said with a gravelly laugh. Tickets to the George Thorogood and the Destroyers concert on May 20 are available at the SOEC box of¿ce, Wine Country Visitor Centre, by phone at 1-877-7632849 or at www.valley¿rsttix.com.

Oliver couple facing drug charges Western News Staff
Possession of cocaine and methamphetamine have landed an Oliver couple in jail. On May 9, Penticton RCMP Drug Task Force of¿cers stopped a vehicle in Summerland occupied by a 39-year-old male and a 32-year-old female, both residents of Oliver. Cpl. Brad Myhre said a search of the couple and their vehicle
turned up over three ounces of cocaine and a small amount of crystal methamphetamine. RCMP said the male was found to have a lengthy criminal record and recently ¿nished a three-year jail sentence for cocaine traf¿cking after being arrested in 2008 for selling cocaine to an undercover RCMP of¿cer. The woman was found to be on probation and also have a current outstanding drug charge from Oliver.
Both were held for court on Friday.
For the record Incorrect information appeared in a story on page 3 of the May 11 edition of the Western News. Rob Yemeriach did not provide photos of allegedly stolen copper to CHBC News, nor did he act as a whistle-blower.

Feast celebrates eating local Jennifer Schell For the Western News
I have always adored the image of a long, white linen-draped table. It evokes warm feelings of family, community, camaraderie — a village celebration. The art of dining is alive and well in places like Europe where the communal dining experience is imperative to their relationships and lifestyles. Here, we have begun to see a rebirth of this wonderful style of eating. The feeling of joy felt during a harvest celebration in a farming community has beautifully been expanded by a wonderful organization called Outstanding in the Field. Welcoming all to their long tables of celebration, they have taken the experience one step further by setting their tables in remarkable locations — ones chosen to surround the diners with what is most important about their food: the people who lovingly grow and create it. A celebration of eating local, “Outstanding in the Field is a roving culinary adventure — literally a restaurant without walls.” Since 1999, they have set their long table down at farms or gardens, on mountain tops or in sea caves, on islands or at ranches across the world. Their mission is “to reconnect diners to the land and the origins of their food, and to honour the local farmers and food artisans who cultivate it.” We are thrilled to have ¿ve of their dinners scheduled in Canada (three in B.C., one in Ontario and one in Quebec). Outstanding director Leah Scafe — who was born and raised on a farm outside of Salmon Arm — is especially pleased to organize these dinners close to home. “It gives me a chance to see my family too,” she says. Leah joined the group, or began “following the bus” (check out their website for the story on their travelling bus) ¿ve years ago after meeting them and volunteering at the dinner held at the UBC Farm in Vancouver where she was studying. What she loves best about these meals are the people — the eclectic group of guests who arrive to the table, many not knowing the person sitting beside them when seated, soon ease into conversations. Not hard to imagine, for this table will draw a collection of like-minded souls. Leah says “It’s so wonderful and interesting to watch the amazing groups of people that come together and connect.”

Of the success of the Outstanding in the Filed concept, Leah says the 2012 season is the “biggest season ever and we keep growing exponentially.” With 83 dinners planned this year, there are a few more in the works. In 2008, our favorite local greens and salad dressing producers, Little Creek Gardens, hosted the Outstanding dinner on their breathtaking lake-view property. This year, the dinner will be on July 18 at Covert Farms with specialty guest chefs Cameron and Dana of Joy Road Catering helping to create the magic. I cannot wait to sit at the long table, sip local wines, nibble on produce from Covert’s organic ¿elds and breathe in what we here in the Okanagan are so fortunate to celebrate — our local bounty, farmers, chefs and artisans. Cheers! To view all events, buy tickets to the event at Covert Farms and read more about this amazing organization go to: www.outstandinginthe¿eld.com.

A total of 86 games played this year, and for the Penticton Vees it all came down to the last 51.3 seconds. That is the precise moment the puck found the back of the net securing the Vees the RBC Cup national title over the Woodstock Slammers on Sunday. “That’s hockey. The line between winning and losing at this level when you are trying to win a national championship is so Àne you can’t even see it,” said Vees coach/GM Fred Harbinson. Getting there came with adversity. A 25-game suspension at the beginning of the season to their captain, season-ending injury to Connor Reilly, injury to their Àrst-string goaltender just as playoffs were about to begin and losing the opening two games at the national tournament. “We went through our fair share of stuff and every time there was a big game our guys found a way to get through it,” said Harbinson, Losses to the Soo Thunderbirds and Humboldt Broncos to start the RBC Cup put the pressure on the Vees. It was something they thrived on. The team went on to beat the Woodstock Slammers and Portage Terriers to advance to the semiÀnals. Goaltender Michael Garteig made some incredible saves as the Vees punched their ticket to the Ànals shutting out the Thunderbirds 3-0. “It would have been very disappointing to come short with all the great things these guys accomplished and I am just really proud of our group,” said Harbinson. A record-breaking regular season put the coach in a position of conÀdence in the RBC

THE PENTICTON VEES (top) celebrate their RBC Cup championship on Sunday after defeating the Woodstock Slammers 4-3. (above) Joey Benik pumps his fist after scoring the game winning goal with just 51.3 seconds left.
Cup Ànals, so much so that in the Ànal two minutes of a tie game for the national championship he ran with four forwards. “That forth forward was the one that scored ... and it was a heck of a goal to Ànish the season off,” said Harbinson. The Vees had jumped out to a 2-0 lead over the Slammers with goals from Travis St. Denis on the powerplay and Steven Fogarty. The Slammers went on a three-goal tear scoring in the Àrst, second and Ànally taking the lead 3-2 early in the third period. But, the Vees did not give up. Bryce Gervais knotted the game to put the team back into it and with minutes remaining the Vees were like sharks circling on the powerplay.
Benik skated into the slot passing the puck to Gervais perched at the side of the net. Gervais one-tapped it back to Benik across the crease in the give-and-go play. With little hesitation Benik ripped it past the Slammers goalie hitting twine. “It’s been a dream season,” said Benik. “That’s one of the plays we have on our powerplay. I circled back and saw St. Denis open. I threw it down to him and it opened up so he chucked it back to me. I did a little toe drag shot and thankfully it went in.” It was a goal that Penticton native and Vees forward Cody Depourcq has witnessed before. “It was something we have
seen a million times from him. I think he’ll score nine out of 10 times from there for sure,” said Depourcq. After winning 42 straight games, the BCHL Fred Page Cup and the Doyle Cup, the national championship holds a very special piece of history for Depourcq. His father, John Depourcq, was part of the 1986 Penticton Knights squad that won the title. “My dad always told me great stories of that time. He also told me something his coach said that when they win that championship game they would walk together forever. That is something that stayed with me and with this team we won and now we walk together,” said Cody.

Soccer tournament stands test of time Kristi Patton
Western News Staff
One of the longest running tournaments in the country and the Paci¿c Western Brewery May Classic is welcoming soccer players back to Penticton for its 51st year this weekend. “It started with just four teams in 1962,” said tournament organizer Charlie Goeckel. “People just enjoy it here. We have some of the best ¿elds in B.C. or anywhere and great facilities like our clubhouse.” The tournament features three divisions, Skaha Meadows Women’s Open, All’s Well Security Men’s Open and the Women’s Recreational, and brings about 1,200 people to the city on the May long weekend. “It’s been a great economic bene¿t to the city ¿lling hotels and restaurants and we have the perfect location at King’s Park,” said Goeckel. This year the championships are up for grabs as Estrella de Chile, who have held a grip on the men’s title for four years running, could not make the tournament due to prior commitments. In the women’s open, the 2011 champion Langley Extreme also couldn’t make the tournament. Vancouver Westside Wild will return to defend the women’s recreation championship. Goeckel said the public is invited down to the ¿elds to watch good, competitive soccer and a beer garden with entertainment will be open Saturday to Monday. The ¿nals in all divisions will be played on Monday. The winning teams and runners-up of the A and B divisions of the tournament receive a complete Adidas uniform set, while the MVP of the tournament and

the top goal scorer will receive tracksuits. Money raised at the tournament will go back into the Penticton Soccer Club as they co-sponsor the Penticton women’s team in the U21 Paci¿c Coast Reserve Division and men’s U21 Tin Horn Pinnacles. Penticton has four teams entered into the Paci¿c Western Brewery May Classic; Last year’s Women’s Open division champions the Pink Panthers, Penticton H&T and X-Pinnacles in the women’s recreation division and the Okanagan Pinnacles men’s team.
