A LIVING TESTAMENT

For now she will keep his ashes in a jewelry box near her bedside until the time they are taken to a mountain top and released to wherever the winds take them. Thinking back about their time together as a couple, Katherine rememGuy Du Vent bers one of her husband’s favourite quotes. “At the end of the day, he would have enthusiasm for one last push to the end.”

Accident victim’s organ donation saves the life of four others Mark Brett

Western News Staff

From death comes life. That’s the silver lining for a Twin Lakes family after last week’s tragic death of husband and father Guy Du Vent following a mountain biking accident. “Guy was a registered organ donor and I received a call last Friday from a member of the transplant team who told me he had just saved four lives,” said his wife Katherine this week. “It was Guy’s wish (organ donation) and we had talked about it as a family before and he ended up giving four parts: two kidneys, a liver and a pancreas all went to different people. “So when they called and said your husband just saved four lives, it just made me feel so happy, you know, ‘Way to go man, you just did it again.’” She added it was appropriate he was able to help give others that precious gift after he was gone because that was his nature in life, putting the needs of others ahead of his own. “He was like a big brother to those who got to know him,” said Katherine. “If you needed something and he had it to give, without question it was yours. For Guy, his body was like a backpack, and when he died he knew his spirit would no longer be con¿ned to his sixfoot frame, and long ago he made it clear for any item that others could use from that backpack to be removed, so they could carry on their lives. “For him this is just another way of helping somebody else out, that’s all.” Describing him as a “gentle man”

Giving the gift of life

KATHERINE DU VENT holds a picture of her husband Guy who died in a mountain biking accident last week. She recently learned his decision to donate his organs has helped save four other lives.

who rarely got angry, she pointed to the more than 150 people who attended a special celebration of his life at the family home last Sunday and the many others who called, as proof of just how much he was loved. “His spirit has invaded all of them and he’s going to be that big brother memory in their heads forever,” said Katherine. “You don’t forget big brothers. He never rufÀed anybody’s feathers and I was very lucky for so many years.” The Du Vents had been together since 1979 and have two daughters, Anna, 31, and Nicole, 30. According to his wife, Guy, 60, was an avid outdoorsman who loved the wilderness and knew the maze of

trails he regularly hiked and biked like the back of his hand. He also enjoyed skiing, and just the day before his accident had been out panning for gold with a longtime friend. Since the donation of Guy’s organs, Katherine has become an even bigger advocate for the process. “Because even at 60 years old your parts are still good enough because they’re (transplant team) happy if they just get one. This is something that isn’t pushed enough. It should be an automatic for people but it isn’t. “For me, it was just such an emotional high and people have to realize that your loved one has just taken off like a rocket.” As dif¿cult as the last 10 days have

been for her, Katherine is quick to credit the efforts of all those who did their best during their time of need. That included his best friends who rode the trails of the Naramata Bench on that hot Monday afternoon searching for him to Penticton Search and Rescue members who arranged to have him airlifted from the scene. As well, there was the medical staff at both Penticton Regional and Kelowna General hospitals who did their best to save him. “Our wishes and our needs were as primary as Guy’s needs and the feedback was clear. They didn’t say, ‘Oh now little lady, just be calm.’ We were kept totally aware at all times,” said Katherine.

Few people like to think about death, let alone talk about it, but Dr. Greg Grant, the executive director of B.C. Transplant, feels it is a conversation every family should have. Working in the intensive care unit of St. Paul’s Hospital in downtown Vancouver, the end-of-life issue is something he deals with on an almost a daily basis. “One of the reasons I got into B.C. Transplant is because I’m one of the docs that has to go and tell a family that bad news,” he said. “I’ve been doing it for about 18 years now and when you approach a family about end of life, it’s a really tough time and it’s kind of hard to do. “But like the family (Du Vent) you mentioned, because they had that conversation, they knew what their loved one wanted.” He added without some clear direction there is added strain, not only on the family but attending physicians as well. So much so, in some cases doctors might not ask the question.

Projects avoid environmental screening Joe Fries Western News Staff

Changes to federal legislation eliminated the need for low-level environmental assessments on 2,970 projects across Canada, 16 of them in the South Okanagan. Those cancelled assessments were to be screenings, the most basic level of federal review and can consist of a simple scan of project information to assess environmental risks. While the Conservative government says those cancellations will free up of¿cials to focus on big projects, environmentalists fear it will result in a lower standard of protection. The omnibus budget bill the Conservatives sent this spring to Parliament contained widereaching legislative amendments, including repeal and replacement of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. Among the changes to the CEAA was a shift away from a trigger approach to determine what projects require an assessment, like involvement of a federal agency, to a designated project list that will now spell out which types of projects, like mines, require a review. That list is based on one contained in the old act and informal consultations on an updated version were held over the summer with unspeci¿ed stakeholders, said Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency spokesperson Isabelle Perrault. The new act also added timelines and stronger enforcement measures to the process, but equally important is the redeployment of resources, said Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas. “So instead of focusing on these projects that have little chance of impacting the environment, the government has decided to focus federal environmental assessment efforts on major projects that have a greater chance of affecting the environment,” he explained. The Conservative MP said the change was based on recommendations put forth in 2009 by federal environment commissioner Scott Vaughan. However, Vaughan only recommended the CEAA review the effectiveness of its screenings, and that review hasn’t yet been completed. Vaughan did, however, recommend a more consistent enforcement process, which Albas said will be made possible through the new legislation and increased funding to the CEAA. Albas said the government has tried to strike a balance between spurring economic growth and

PIB lands manager Joan Phillip noted that any development on the reserve will still require a traditional ecological knowledge assessment, which is focused on protection of the environment and indigenous species. Phillip, also a band councillor, said the PIB “would still like to maintain that high standard that was set by Canada before changing the goal posts, so to speak.” Off-reserve, the most signi¿cant South Okanagan project that had its screening cancelled is the planned widening of a 1.5-kilometre stretch of Eastside Road along Skaha Lake. The plan calls for adding ¿ll to expand the road shoulder along a one-kilometre stretch of lakeshore. That has the potential to harm ¿sh or ¿sh habitat, which caused the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to Àag the project for a federal assessment. B.C. Transportation Ministry spokesperson Kate Trotter said via email that work is underway to satisfy requirements imposed by both the DFO and the B.C. Environment Ministry to address environmental concerns. Formal approval is expected “shortly” and “information about the start date for the work will be available soon,” said Trotter, who did not respond to a follow-up request for more speci¿c timelines. The B.C. Environmental Assessment Of¿ce issued a statement in August that noted of the 492 screenings that were cancelled here, 80 per cent were triggered by non-environmental factors, and none met the threshold for a provincial review. Twenty other federal screenings in B.C. will still go ahead. Joe Foy, national campaign director for the Canadian Wilderness Committee, said weakened federal environmental legislation will result in an mishmash of inconsistent regulations. “There may be, and probably are... provincial, municipal and First Nations jurisdictions that will step up to the plate and do an excellent job. But there will be others that don’t. So we end up with a very unpredictable and divided patchwork,” Foy said. Combined with “sweeping changes” to the Fisheries Act, “and notices of layoff to thousands of federal government employees,” Foy continued, “it essentially shoots the lights out and makes it dif¿cult for citizens to know what damages may occur with various projects.”

Coroner ﬁnds alcohol played role in death According to the corner’s report, Marye snow boots and had a scarf wrapped around Last winter’s death of woman on Apex Mountain ruled accidental and her boyfriend were seen arguing at an her hand, however, the coat she was seen Joe Fries Western News Staff

Alcohol was a contributing factor in the accidental death last winter of an Apex Mountain Resort ski lift operator, a coroner has concluded. Benoite Camille Mireille Marye was found dead early on Feb. 27, 2012, lying in the snow in a wooded area near her temporary home. Coroner Gerard L. Maddock determined the 31-year-old woman’s death was accidental and attributed it to hypothermia. Marye was a French national who, along with her boyfriend, began working at the ski hill in the fall of 2011.

employee function at the resort on Feb. 26. The two left separately and Marye, who had been drinking throughout the evening, was dropped off by friends around 11:30 p.m. just 40 metres from the unlocked entrance to the Strayhorse Inn, where she was staying. Around 1 a.m., an area resident heard “the sounds of French language groaning and moaning” outside his home, but received no response when he went out to investigate, the coroner wrote. At 7 a.m., another person spotted Marye’s lifeless body in the snow and called 911. The coroner noted that she was discovered about two metres off a pathway and just a single set of “erratic and meandering” footprints was found in the snow. Marye was clothed in jeans, a shirt and

wearing earlier in the night was found a short distance away. Overnight, the temperature bottomed out at -21 C and “the clothing would not have offered protection from the cold weather conditions,” the coroner wrote. An autopsy found no signs of foul play and no anatomic reason for death, so the coroner concluded hypothermia most likely claimed her life. He also noted that autopsy results showed Marye’s blood-alcohol level was twice the legal limit for driving and said that level of impairment would have caused her body to lose heat more quickly than a sober person. Apex Mountain Resort manager James Shalman did not respond to requests for comment.

Waterfront options get another look Steve Kidd Western News Staff

The public will have a little more time to comment on options the Waterfront Revitalization Committee has brought forward and answer their survey, but you will need to move quickly. “There has been a lot of healthy discussion about what the public wants to see on the west Okanagan Lake waterfront, and we want the conversation to continue,” said Rod King, chair of the Waterfront Enhancement Select Committee. Public input on two options for the stretch of beach from the SS Sicamous to The Peach was to have closed at the end of August, but after a large protest rally last week, the committee decided to extend the input period until Friday (today) for the public to review the plans and ¿ll out their survey. They’ve also made hard copies of the survey and the design drawings available for those who can’t access them online at City Hall council chambers, Penticton Community Centre and the City Yards building. The committee has been working for several months to gather public input about possible changes and improvements to the beach area stretching from the SS Sicamous to the Peach, resulting in two options brought forward in late August for more public comment. Both options included substantial changes to traf¿c Àow along Lakeshore, as well as replacing the current angle parking

with parallel parking. The proposals caught some in the community by surprise, including Clifford Martin, one of the organizers of the protest rally. He has aired concerns not only about some of the proposals, but the online input process, which he said was confusing for people. At Tuesday’s regular council meeting, he presented the city with a large petition opposing the changes. “We got over a thousand signatures. The biggest issue, of course, is changing it to a one-way street and eliminating the angle parking. These intersection plazas will also eliminate parking spots,” said Martin. He also conducted a survey of business owners along Lakeshore and said they also were in opposition. “I think the majority of the public agree that it’s just not going to work,” said Martin. Coun. Garry Litke, one of the council representatives to the committee, said some changes to the beach are necessary to replace the aging infrastructure. “The status quo is not an option. It is crumbling,” said Litke. The question is, he continued, whether the city goes in there with a band aid and spends a couple of million dollars restoring it or spends a bit more to make it something truly remarkable for the waterfront. “The community has been saying to us for the last couple of months that we want to see something signi¿cant happen there. So it is not the

committee pushing it on the community, it is the community making this request of the committee.” Mitch Moroziuk, Penticton’s director of operations and the staff representative on the committee, said they took steps to ensure that they kept the public informed. “Very early in this project we went to all the residents along Lakeshore Drive and asked for their email addresses so we could communicate with them. They were provided with information on all of the open houses, when and where they were,” said Moroziuk. “We did the same with the businesses there and the same thing with all of the interest groups that use the waterfront. “Peach City Beach Cruise was on that list, so they were well aware of the ¿rst and second pubic consultation sessions. They were also aware of the third one. They got some additional emails sent to them on the third one to get them out and get them to provide some input on the project.” Mayor Dan Ashton is concerned that some members of the public are misinformed about the stage the revitalization project is at. Actual changes are some time away, and even after the current survey closes, there will still be more public input. “There isn’t $7.1 million in the city coffers to do the project,” he said. “And Option A and B are not the only options available. Those are the two options that were presented to date. There is lots of opportunity for more input.”

“The hard part is we lose about 12 to 15 patients a year who die while waiting for an organ donation,” said Dr. Grant. Although a 2009 survey showed 85 per cent of people in B.C. agreed with the idea of organ donation, just 18.5 per cent (847,442 people) are currently Greg Grant registered. So far this year in B.C. there have been 219 transplants and 449 people remain on the waiting list. In Penticton, 26 per cent of the population, about 12,000 people, have signed up as donors. The doctor stresses those wishing to donate must register — it is not automatic or a box that can be checked off on their driver’s licence (as it was in the past). Anyone wanting to state their preference — yes or no — can do it online at www.transplant.bc.ca.

DONOR - Hundreds on waiting list “I think they (doctors) feel they will be perceived badly or that there is a conÀict of interest,” he said. “It can be dif¿cult when you have a family in front of you and they need to know that the doctor is doing the very, very best for their family member, but at the same time there comes a point when we can be certain they (patient) will not recover.” The doctor stressed the criteria for brain death is very strict, but even so, the family is not sure in which case organ donation is not an option. “It is dif¿cult. I’ve had people say no, and that’s an OK answer, but I’ve never had anybody be offended by it, and sometimes I think it just means that we don’t ask enough,” he said. “But it’s also one of those things that has always amazed me is how some families can dig down inside their hearts at the worst time of their life and suddenly this is important for them.” He believes this group sees organ donation as a way to spare others the anguish they are experiencing.

EDITORIAL

Certainty greets returning students

tudents and teachers across the province headed back to school this week, and hopefully this will be a better year in the public school system than 2011-12 was. One of the most disappointing things about the past school year was a year-long work-torule campaign by teachers, who were upset that they were getting nowhere in negotiations with the provincial government over a new contract. While their frustration was understandable, the length of the job action and the effect on students and families was disturbing. Teachers refused to put out report cards and their job action led to the cancellation of extracurricular activities and placed a strain on lines of communication with parents. For many students, this resulted in the loss of a co-ordinated approach to learning from school and home. Study after study has shown that when teachers and parents are able to work together, students will learn more and get much further ahead. Thankfully, the B.C. Teachers Federation and the provincial education bargaining authority reached an agreement over the summer months, and there will be no job action this year. The BCTF is still angry with the government and will be working toward its defeat, as is its right, but there is a contract in place. Whether a new government, should one be elected, will come up with a better deal remains to be seen. There should be report cards and proper consultation with parents this school year, and that is to the bene¿t of everyone — teachers, students and parents. Education has never been as important as it is today. The ability of young people to live independent lives as adults is directly related to a good education, and the school system is a key part of that. Here’s hoping for a successful school year.

Election won’t change U.S. foreign policy There was never going to be a big debate on U.S. foreign policy at the Democratic National Convention. It will be whatever Barack Obama says it should be, and besides, the delegates in Charlotte weren’t interested. It’s the economy, stupid, and two months before the election nobody wants to get sidetracked into discussing a peripheral issue like American foreign policy. The only people who really care about that at the moment are foreigners and the U.S. military — and even they are not following the election with bated breath, because few of them believe that a change of president could fundamentally change the way the U.S. relates to the rest of the world. Although the Republicans do their best to paint Obama as a wild-eyed radical who is dismantling America’s defences, he has actually been painfully orthodox in his foreign policy. He loves Israel to bits, he did not shut down the Afghan war (or Guantanamo), he uses drones to kill U.S. enemies (and sometimes, anybody else who is nearby), and he tamely signs off on a $700 billion defence budget. How can Mitt Romney top that? He could say he loves Israel even more. In fact, he does say that, promising to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. But that is purely gesture politics, since almost no other countries

Gwynne Dyer

Dyer Straits do, and in practice Obama gives Israel almost everything it wants already. He could pledge to spend even more on “defence” than Obama, but the United States is already pouring 4.7 per cent of its Gross Domestic Product down that rathole. Obama has planned cuts over the next several years that would bring it down to about four per cent — and Romney has promised not to let it fall below four per cent. Not a huge difference there. Romney does his best to disguise that fact by declaring that he would reverse certain of Obama’s decisions. U.S. ground forces, for example, would remain at their current level under a Romney administration, rather than being reduced by 100,000 people. But changing only that and nothing else would put $25

billion a year back into the defence budget. How do you do that without raising taxes? The Republican candidate faces a constraint none of his recent predecessors had: a party that really cares about the de¿cit. In the past three decades, it has been Republican presidents who ran up the bills — Ronald Reagan never balanced a budget, and the Bush-Cheney team declared that “de¿cits don’t matter” — while the subsequent Democratic administrations tried to curb outof-control spending. Romney doesn’t have that option: the Tea Party wing of his party actually means what it says about both taxes and de¿cits. So what’s left for him? Well, he could promise to kill even more of America’s enemies than Obama, but he can’t get around the fact that it’s Obama who nailed Osama bin Laden, and Obama who is playing fast and loose with international law by using drones to carry out remotecontrol assassinations of hostile foreigners. So Romney says very little about foreign policy because there is little he can say. The closest he has come to speci¿c policy changes was an “action plan” he laid out during the Republican primaries last year, to be accomplished within a hundred days of taking of¿ce. It was an entirely credible promise, because none

of it really involves a policy change at all. He promised to “reassure traditional allies that America will ful¿ll its global commitments.” A couple of phone calls, and that’s done. He declared that he would move more military forces to the Gulf “to send a message to Iran,” but he didn’t threaten to attack Iran, or endorse an Israeli attack on Iran. And he can always move them back again if he gets bored. He will review the Obama administration’s planned withdrawal from Afghanistan. Not necessarily change it; just review it. He will also review Obama’s global missile defence strategy. He might like to change that — Republicans have loved the concept ever since Ronald Reagan’s “Star Wars” dreams — but he hasn’t got the kind of money he would need for a more ambitious policy. It’s not surprising that the rest of the world doesn’t care much about the U.S. election. Most foreigners, on both the right and the left, are more comfortable with Obama than Romney, but U.S. foreign policy will stay the same whoever wins. They might not like all of it, but they’re used to it. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Rational debate needed on pipeline The present debate on the merits of the Northern Gateway proposal seems to be taking a disparate and strident course, with deeply entrenched and at times dogmatic environmental opposition, a B.C. provincial government that seems quite willing to prostitute the interests of its citizens for the right price, and a government of Alberta that quite reasonably expects that the constitution of Canada guarantees legitimate access for their resources to international markets. A number of important points have gotten lost in the shufÀe: Canadian citizens represent less than one per cent of the world’s population. Through an accident of history and to our considerable good fortune we control ¿ve or 10 per cent of the world’s resources of all types. Of course we are going to be “hewers of wood and drawers of water” — nothing wrong with that. Plenty of room for the most sophisticated of engineering and technology if we are to do it right. If we cannot manage our resources responsibly and share them with the world judiciously and ef¿ciently we will not survive as a country. Our claims to further resources in the north will be laughable. We will truly become a footnote in the long sweep of world history. To throw up our hands and announce to the world that we cannot engineer and build an environmentally safe pipeline across northern B.C. is an admission of our present inadequacy as a country. What has become of the Canada that pioneered the building of transcontinental railroads? Environmental advocates should carefully con-

NDP has proven track record

After the defeat of his Social Credit party, W.A.C. Bennett had one request. That was for NDP premier Dave Barrett to build another three-lane span next to the present Lion Gates Bridge. He told Barrett that there was funding in treasury strictly for the project to proceed. Barrett did not listen and went on to bankrupt the province. Today, in 2012, the Lion Gates Bridge is still only three lanes. Barrett will be remembered for his spending, quickly taking the government from surplus to debt. Barrett reformed the welfare system, making it so popular as to say why work when NDP welfare bene¿ts are fantastic. He also brought in union and union wages to all government employees and bought the Ocean Falls pulp mill that never amounted to anything. Within two weeks after the purchase, the smoke stack fell down to the ground. Crown Zellerbach, which owned the mill, said the mill was old and obsolete and not worth putting money into, but the good old NDP had to do the opposite. Barrett brought in ICBC. In 1975-76, B.C. taxpayers had to bail out their government-run insurance company in the amount of $181 million just two years after it begun operations. This money has never been repaid. At the same time, ICBC had been so mismanaged, with insurance being sold signi¿cantly underpriced, that the government was forced to increase rates by at least 25 per cent. He is known for passing a bill on average every three days during his term of government. Barrett did a major public-sector expansion, with the highest number of government employees in history for a provincial government.

template the Northern Gateway alternatives which are already apparent. It has been suggested that oil could be shipped to Prince Rupert on an existing railway for about the same cost as by pipeline. The history of rail accidents on this route indicates that this may be a more alarming alternative from an environmental perspective than a well-engineered and managed pipeline. Shipment of oil by expansion of the existing Trans Mountain line to the Lower Mainland for export through the Port of Vancouver seems to present even more of an environmental challenge, although it is worth noting that this line has been shipping oil to the coast for decades without notable incident. Let’s get back to a more rational debate. Let’s carefully compare the technical merits of rail verses pipeline. If it’s pipeline, is Enbridge the right ¿rm to responsibly engineer, build and manage the project? Recent history is a cause for concern. Can the aboriginal peoples along the route be guaranteed suf¿cient economic bene¿ts and environmental safety to bring them onside? I suspect so. They have the same stake in the future of Canada as the rest of us. Ultimately the decision should be theirs and theirs alone. Let’s hope they approach this debate in a more responsible and cool-headed manner than the governments that represent all of us, and the entrenched environmental opponents, have so far displayed. Neal Burnett Kaleden

His human resources minister, Norman Levi, got out of hand, and ran up that ministry to 40 per cent of the total government budget, and at one time, had the ministry at $100 million over budget. He was very quick to add programs regardless of cost with no business plans. So preoccupied with a bankrupt government, Dave Barrett did not even consult with his cabinet about calling a provincial election. His ministers found out about the election watching the television news. Alex MacDonald, NDP former attorney general, watched the announcement on the TV news at home, much to his surprise. Barrett lost three provincial elections in a row to Bill Bennett of the Social Credit party. On Oct. 6, 1983, Barrett, as the leader of the New Democratic Party of B.C., was forcibly removed from chamber by the Legislature Sergeant-at-Arms for failing to abide by the Speaker’s ruling. This was the ¿rst incident in the legislature history where security staff had to intervene and remove a member from chamber. When Dave Barrett and the NDP formed government, it is believed they were in “minority party syndrome” and did not have the knowledge or expertise to operate as a government. Lost soles with a huge responsibility. Joe Sawchuk Penticton

Environment endangered

I was disgusted when several weeks ago I was listening to “Daybreak” on CBC and Environment Minister Peter Kent said British Columbians should be concerned that Enbridge had been sued for the damage their pipeline caused to the Kalamazoo River and the surrounding area. Concerned for Enbridge? As though as a British Columbian I should value a multi-billion dollar corporation over clean water, air and

land, I was so furious at Peter Kent’s ignorant and offensive remarks that I called “Daybreak” and left my opinion on the talk back line. So, thank you Cody Young for your intelligent and concerned letter regarding the ineptitude of Enbridge and the un-environment minister that we currently have in of¿ce. Would you consider running for the minister of environment position, Cody Young? I’d be willing to help, because I’m pretty sure you’re concerned about the important issues that I as a British Columbian value, like the necessities of life, and not stuf¿ng your wallet with the tailings of money that Enbridge left.

New trial set to begin in Kelowna

Kathy Michaels Black Press

A Penticton man accused of killing an 85-year-old woman in 2006 pleaded not guilty this week. Corey Wolf Swite appeared in the prisonerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s box at the Kelowna courthouse Tuesday morning, and spoke to a murder charge he Âżrst pleaded not

guilty to at the start of a 2009 trial. The result of those court proceedings, however, were ultimately thrown out by the B.C. Court of Appeal last February, meaning Swite will again face a jury next month. The appeal court found that Swite faced â&#x20AC;&#x153;real prejudiceâ&#x20AC;? through the way the trial judge dealt with the case. Swite wanted jurors screened with

questions to determine whether they could view the evidence without bias, prejudice or partiality because he is Aboriginal and the victim was an 85-yearold woman. Amendments made to the law around challenging jurors resulted in errors and confusion in the selection of the jury. The appeal court also agreed there

was a potential for prejudice when one unsworn juror clearly stated her belief of Switeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guilt in the presence of the other sworn jurors. A publication ban was ordered by the appeal court that will not allow for the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name to be revealed. Jurors for this trial have yet to be chosen, but the process should begin by mid October.

A higher than normal number of thefts of trucks and recreational vehicles has Summerland RCMP issuing a public warning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Summerland RCMP are asking citizens to be vigilant in securing their property and to report any suspicious activity in their neighbourhood,â&#x20AC;? said Sgt. Mona Kauffeld. RCMP believe the incidents started July 6 when a Summerland police ofÂżcer attempted to pull over a truck towing a boat. Kauffeld said when the ofÂżcer went to stop the vehicle, it took off. The GMC Suburban and Thunder Jet boat were later recovered, but the occupants had departed. On July 25, a white Mastercraft X-2 speed boat was stolen from Lakeshore Drive in Summerland. According to RCMP, the boat trailer had been secured with a lock in the pinhole which had been cut off. The value of the boat and trailer is approximately $120,000. On the same day, a 2002 Dodge pickup was stolen from Summerland. Kauffeld said the two thefts are believed to be related. The truck was recovered on Aug. 10 in Williams Lake, however, the boat has not been found. On Aug. 1 and 2, there were seven vehicles targeted in attempted thefts that police believe are also related to the other stolen vehicles. A Ford F250 was taken from Woods Avenue and a green 2008 Yamaha Grizzly ATV was stolen from Prairie Valley Road. The Ford was recovered in West Kelowna on Aug. 20, but the ATV is still missing. On Aug. 25, a 12-foot aluminum Misty River boat and four-horsepower Yamaha outboard engine were stolen from South Okanagan RV. On that same date, a Chevrolet Silverado was stolen from Victoria Road South. Both the boat and truck were found abandoned on Bridgeman Road just off Highway 97, north of Summerland.

Hot stuff at jazz fest

Important Health & Safety Recall

Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

A highlight for many music lovers, Penticton will be ¿lled with riffs, blowing sessions and other swinging sounds this weekend for the 16th annual Pentastic Hot Jazz Festival. “We have a band for every taste and an incredible group of volunteers that make everyone feel welcome and a hard working and diligent board of directors who work very hard to bring this threeday event to life,” said Pentastic Hot Jazz Festival president Michael Campbell. “We also have a reputation of being a nice festival to play at and musicians tell other musicians.” One of the bands Campbell is looking forward to hearing is Dixie Talks, which hails from Lekeberg, Sweden. They play traditional jazz in New Orleans style. This year they have added Lennart Axelsson, a Swedish trumpet player who has performed all over the world with famous big bands and top jazz groups. He also played solo/¿rst trumpet with the James Last orchestra for a number of years. “I was very impressed by them. Their vocalist is great and (Axelsson) is a biggie in the jazz world,” said Campbell. The Original Wildcat Jass Band from Arizona whose musical energy is steeped in good humour, Dixieland Express Jazz band from Victoria with leader Norrie MacFarlane and Draga’s Dragons also are on roster for the weekend. The West Coast’s hardest hitting Zydeco once again returns with Gator Beat, who will be giving their hand-clapping, foot-stomping, high-

energy performances this weekend. They are also performing a free concert on Friday from 1:50 to 3 p.m. in the courtyard of Pen High. A silver collection will be taken and any donations will go to the high school music program. And you can’t have music without dancing. Campbell said they will once again be holding free dance lessons for ticket holders on Saturday at 9 a.m. at the Shatford Centre. Four instructors from Victoria’s Red Hot Swing Club will be teaching new and veteran dancers. “That is for people with two left feet like I have, or for people who are well along but want to sharpen up their steps,” said Campbell. “Absolutely it helps get people up and dancing. Not everyone can dance for fear of not looking cool and this brings a large degree of coolness to the danc-

ers.” Penticton’s Eric Wood, drummer with Aged to Perfection who will be performing at the festival and a member of the Pentastic Hot Jazz committee, expects a good turnout for the three days because it is one of the few remaining festivals of its genre in the Paci¿c Northwest. “It has always been a favourite of people. A lot of people go from one festival to another of this type and we have a variety of music. There is 10 bands or so and while you might hear the same tune played by each one of them, chances are they are 10 different arrangements or 10 different sounds,” said Wood. The other local band is the Offramp Jazz Sextet, who are comprised of musicians from Penticton and Summerland. They are led by pianist Justin Glibbery with Aidan Mayes on vocals, Larry

Crawford on saxophone, Stan Sabourin on saxophone, Stefan Bienz on bass and Mike Treadway on drums. Both Campbell and Wood said the volunteers that help run the Pentastic Hot Jazz Festival are amazing and this year they stepped up again to ¿ll all the volunteer positions. “Some of our volunteers have been doing this for 15 years. That is how dedicated these people are. They know everyone is having a great time and they hear the remarks and might get to catch a couple of tunes from the bands playing. Without sponsors or volunteers we couldn’t do this,” said Wood. Tickets for the Pentastic Hot Jazz Festival can be purchased online at www.ValleyFirstTix.ca, at the Best Western Inn on Skaha Lake Road or at the Penticton and Wine Country Visitor’s Centre.

Of course, it is disappointing to have to cancel a trip for any reason, from a missed connection to an unexpected illness. Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption Insurance ensures that you won’t suffer the financial burdens typically associated with such events. But note that there is a difference between the two coverages: Trip Cancellation insures you if your travel plans are cancelled prior to departure, while Trip Interruption coverage insures you if your trip is disrupted after it has already begun.

YOUNG NORMAN finds himself shunned by friends and family until his ability to talk to ghosts suddenly becomes useful.

great job of mixing the scares with humour, which takes the edge off, however the climax of the ¿lm is very loud and very intense, I saw a lot of kids holding on to their parents’ arms. Yet, when it stopped and was quiet again, they all laughed at themselves, relieved. HOWE: I watched this in 3D and to be honest, it wasn’t really worth it. There wasn’t anything that I noticed Àying out at you. If you do go and take the little ones, go watch it in regular vision, save the $3 that you would pay extra and buy a tiny bag of sour candies instead. They’re a lot more exciting and fun than ParaNorman. TAYLOR: I disagree, although the 3D was negligible, the movie was interesting and fun to watch. Especially for a stop-motion ¿lm,

Norman himself is a mechanical doll, about six inches tall. The sets and cinematography were bordering on amazing. Although the target audience isn’t concerned about such things, ParaNorman is a unique ¿lm made by talented folks. It’s worth taking any kids who enjoy zombies, witches, ghosts or other spooky things. It also contains a couple important life lessons: Don’t pick on kids just because they’re different and don’t get wrapped up in a mob mentality. Howe gives ParaNorman two zombie Puritans out of ¿ve. Taylor gives it 3.5 angry mobs out of ¿ve. Brian Taylor and Peter Howe are movie reviewers from the Okanagan.

The season is turning, the sun is lower in the sky and leaves are showing their fall colours. It’s the time of year when people are finalizing their plans for lengthy trips to scenic U.S. destinations to escape the Canadian winter. While considering destinations, accommodations, transportation and activities for long stays, travellers are no-doubt researching travel insurance too. The cost of medical care in the U.S. can be pricey, and a single misadventure could spell the end of a much anticipated trip. The Canadian government recommends that travellers purchase travel insurance when leaving the country. Medical care outside of Canada is extremely expensive and provincial health care may not cover all of your medical expenses incurred out of the province. When researching travel insurance, there are three important things for people to consider: What is your health status? Depending upon your age, some policies might require you to complete a health questionnaire. This needs to be answered accurately to ensure you have the correct coverage. If necessary, purchase preexisting condition coverage so that you’re covered in the event you have a claim relating to a pre-existing condition. What is your trip duration? For some, one lengthy trip of 30 to 90 days may be all

Young Norman is a little bit different than everybody else; he gets picked on at school, has no friends and even his family thinks he’s weird, all because he can communicate with ghosts. When an ancient witches’ curse threatens the townspeople by raising the dead, all Norman’s perceived faults turn into bene¿ts and he becomes their only hope. We say it’s a horror movie for children. HOWE: Yeah, this didn’t really work for me. Don’t get me wrong. It’s pretty amazing to look at, but for me that’s about as far as it goes. TAYLOR: I guess I could see that. It had a sort of kid pace for a horror movie. So in an adult horror movie, we are watching something hiding in the shadows, waiting for the scare. In this kids horror movie there are no adult scares, so we get a bit bored. But I don’t think the kids there were bored. HOWE: I agree with you. I think kids will love it, it’s just scary enough but not overly scary, and with them adding in the jokes it will make it fun. Having said that, I wouldn’t take my son (who just turned ¿ve) to see it. He loves zombies but this may be too much for him. TAYLOR: Yeah, I might draw the line at eight and up, unless you have a young kid who can handle scary bits. ParaNorman does a

Sloan is four distinct songwriting voices — guitarists Patrick Pentland and Jay Ferguson, bassist Chris Murphy and drummer Andrew Scott — that nonetheless form a cohesive collective. Longtime Toronto scenesters who will always call Halifax home. This fall, Sloan will embark on their ¿rst tour in celebration of one of their earlier catalogue albums, Twice Removed. Long heralded by critics as one of the best Canadian albums of all time, Twice Removed has been a fan favourite since its release in 1994. Sloan are working on a deluxe vinyl reissue of the album in September with a wealth of bonus material from the time. Sloan are Muchmusic and rock radio regulars who — via their own murderecords label — maintain strong ties to their indie roots; money-city maniacs who have a soft spot for sweet sugar tunes; music vets who, instead of coasting on their cred, continue to challenge themselves with each record. A shuttle service is available for the Tinhorn concert with pick-ups in Osoyoos, Penticton and Oliver for $15 return. Please call 1-888-484-6467 for more details and to purchase tickets to the concert which are $60. Pack a picnic, sip on some award-winning wine and dance the night away. MUSIC LESSONS at

Invasive species take root at Penticton Museum Western News Staff

Royal B.C. MuseThe aliens are among um brings Aliens us, but don’t cue up the Among Us exhibit X-Files theme music just to Penticton yet.

A travelling Royal B.C. Museum exhibition on British Columbia’s invasive species, Aliens Among Us, runs until Nov. 17 at the Penticton

Museum and Archives. Visitors are invited to interact with some of the province’s best-known and least-loved invasive species beginning Sept.

13 at the exhibit opening from 4 to 7 p.m. “There are over 4,000 alien species in the province and that number grows each year,” said Gavin Hanke, curator of vertebrate zoology at the Royal B.C. Museum. “Some of these aliens are invasive — they spread quickly, threaten native wildlife and are hard to control.” American bullfrogs, scotch broom, smallmouth bass and purple loosestrife are just a few of the species featured in Aliens Among Us. The exhibition tells the stories of how the invasive species arrived in the province, what individuals can do to protect their communities and how these aliens ¿t in — or don’t ¿t in — with their environments. “Invasive species are of major concern in the South Okanagan as they pose a threat to the amazing biodiversity that we have here in the valley” said Penticton Museum curator Peter Ord. “This exhibit is part of the museum’s celebration of local natural history in 2012 and we are excited to host such a unique and topical exhibit from such a renowned institution like the Royal B.C. Museum.” Co-hosting the opening will be the South Okanagan Naturalists’ Club and South Okanagan-Similkameen Invasive Plant Society, groups who have been instrumental in the ¿ght against invasive species and the effort to protect endangered species and spaces.

Mark Brett/Western News

PROGRAM CO-ORDINATOR Manda Maggs of the Penticton Museum looks over one of the displays that is part of the Royal B.C. Museum exhibit, Aliens Among Us about invasive species. The exhibit runs until Nov. 17.

“More importantly, the exhibit will allow locals to engage in our new museum program called Citizen Science, which is an effort to connect residents to the world around them,” said Ord. Details of the Citizen Science program will be released during the of¿cial opening of the exhibit on Sept. 13, when visitors will also taste morsels of invasive species and wash it down with a glass of wine from Hillside Winery and food from the Bench Market. A companion website and a mobile application have been created to ac-

company Aliens Among Us. Both allow visitors to track species using Google Maps. Visitors can upload the location of an alien sighting, images and ¿eld notes. The website also offers the opportunity to ask questions of one of the Royal B.C. Museum curators or collection managers. You can access the web and mobile app at www.royalbcmuseum. bca.ca/TravellingExhibitions. For more information on the Penticton Museum call 250-490-2451, visit www.pentictonmuseum.com or ¿nd them on Facebook.

TROY STECHER (No.77) and the Penticton Vees have been ranked by Black Press sports writers to finish atop the BCHL’s Interior Conference standings.

RBC Cup champs to lead Interior Black Press

As 2012 RBC Cup champs, the Penticton Vees will have a target on their back. Other teams in the BCHL will be hungry to take down the defending champs, especially teams in the Interior Conference. Black Press sports writer have teamed up to provide previews on their respective teams. Predictions have been made. The new crop of Vees have been chosen to ¿nish at the top. Find out how the rest of the division stacks up.

PENTICTON VEES

KEY RETURNEES: F Wade Murphy (36-5591), F Cody DePourcq (6-12-18), D Troy Stecher (5-37-42), G Chad Katunar (13-2-0, 2.87 GAA, .887 SV%), F Sam Mellor (4-5-9) Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves in National Collegiate Athletics Association (acquired through trade with Trail). ROOKIE SENSA-

TIONS: This year’s 16year-old will be Kamloops minor hockey product Ryan Gropp. This sixth overall pick by the Seattle Thunderbirds in the 2011 Western Hockey League draft starred with the Okanagan Hockey Academy Midget prep team, scoring 21 goals for 51 points in 41 games. He appeared in two games as a call-up with the Vees, scoring once. Louie Nanne, grandson of former Minnesota North Stars’ general manager Louis Nanne, played with Minnesota’s Edina Hornets high school team, the same school that produced former Vee Steven Fogarty. Nanne, a seventhround pick of the Minnesota Wild in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, had 12 goals and 20 points in 24 games. He also played for Team Southwest and tallied seven goals and 20 points in as many games. Dexter Dancs is a familiar name for Vees fans. With his ticket booked to the

University of Michigan, Dancs played 15 games for the Vees as an af¿liate collecting one helper. The North Vancouver product had a strong season with the KIJHL’s Osoyoos Coyotes, scoring 29 times and adding 38 helpers in 42 games. STRENGTHS: Goaltending is expected to be a strength again. Katunar earned invaluable experience during the playoffs when Michael Garteig was injured, and helped push the Vees to the 2012 Doyle Cup against the Brooks Bandits. He is con¿dent and eager to lead the Vees in defending their RBC Cup championship. Vees’ head coach/GM Fred Harbinson believes his defensive core will be strong and deep and feels he has four solid lines. COACH’S QUOTE: Fred Harbinson: “I really enjoy this group already. I think they are going to be a fun team to work with. The one thing that I want to do

that is the same as last year, and it’s non-negotiable, is that we want to work as hard as we did last year and we want to have guys that buy into their roles like the guys did last year.”

Penticton’s Raymond James Dragon Boat Festival is spreading its paddles. The weekend event continues to grow since its inauguration in 2000. Last year, the event attracted 87 teams and organizer Don Mulhall said he had people suggesting they bump the number to 100. “I have never said the word 100 and Penticton in the same sentence,” joked Mulhall at the time. “At some point we have to stop. I can’t have boats racing from here to Kaleden.” While heading to Kaleden won’t be the case, 90-plus teams will be racing the 500-metre sprints at Skaha Lake Sept. 8 to 9. Among those teams will be the Peach City Dragons. Ron Spence, a paddler on the team, said they are aiming to ¿nish in the top three. Spence knows it won’t be easy as they are likely to be in a strong ¿eld. “We have con¿dence that we

can do well,” said Spence, adding that they have won a few events this season, including one in Vernon recently. Pushing the Peach City Dragons is coach Jen Monai, who Spence said is great. “She’s so much fun and she’s a hard ass,” said Spence. “She makes us work.” As for the growth the festival is seeing, Spence said “it’s awesome.” One of the new teams is the

HSBC Flying Dragons, the ¿rst in Canada for developmentally disabled adults. They will be participating in their ¿rst of¿cial race after three months of training. The 21 paddlers and 20 volunteer coaches are ready to rip through the water. “These talented and enthusiastic paddlers have been working incredibly hard and are-over-the moon excited about this coming weekend. Regardless of their race times, the HSBC Flying

Dragons have already ¿nished way ahead of the pack, ” said Flying Dragons coach Mulhall. “I am so proud of them and honoured to be coaching these amazing athletes.” Spence added there will be several visitors in town this weekend, especially with the city also having the Jazz Festival. “Teams like to come. People I talk to like the Penticton event,” said Spence. “It’s well organized.”

It’s expected that a record 2,700 paddlers will compete. That makes it the second largest dragon boat festival in B.C. “This festival has exceeded our expectations, growing from just 12 teams in 2000 to more than 90 this year,” said Mulhall in a release. “It has become one of the most anticipated dragon boat events of the year.” The festival will see teams of 20 paddlers (plus a drummer and steer-person) from B.C. and Alberta racing the 14-m canoes. Penticton’s female paddlers are expected to be among the top competitors and anticipated to be in Sunday afternoon’s ¿nal. Along with the ¿nals at noon, races on Sunday include the Breast Cancer Survivor ¿nals and carnation ceremony, starting before 11 a.m. Local favourite Survivorship will be looking to win the Dale Charles Memorial cup.

Georgina “Georgie” (nee Walker) (nee Barker) March 6, 1926 - Sept. 2, 2012 It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Georgina Hilton at the age of 86. She is survived by her husband Alan Hilton (14 years); daughters Dawn Walker of Penticton (David, Neil & Laura Rybak), Gwen (Norman) Clark of Langley (Tara & Melissa); as well as nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and friends. She was predeceased by her first husband Kenneth Walker (34 years). Georgie had many fond memories of her time in Kamloops and Penticton, enjoyed traveling, curling, golf, and was an active member of the United Church. Her family was most important in her life, and she was kind and generous to everyone. The family would like to thank the people that cared for Georgie at the Village by the Station for the past 5 1/2 years. A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, September 14, 2012 at 11:00 am at the Penticton United Church, 696 Main St., Penticton, BC. Light lunch and refreshments will follow. Bring photos to share with the family in her memory. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Georgie’s memory to the Alzheimer Society of BC or the Canadian Cancer Society.

“Lovingly remembered and sadly missed.”

Efforts continue to establish a permanent, free dental clinic to serve low-income patients in Penticton. Local dentists have donated their own clinics and time for several one-day events since the program’s inception last summer, but the hunt goes on for a steady funding source and supplies. “I’ve gathered some equipment, and I have a lead on a place... but I sort of have to gather my equipment before they’ll give me the place,” said organizer Greta Henning. “I’m just in the process of getting charitable tax status so I can offer receipts to people who donate equipment and then I can go after the equipment more so than I am now. But I have an X-ray machine and a couple of chairs already sitting in a garage somewhere just waiting to be used.” Henning said the local dental community has been supportive of the idea to help people who sim-

ply fall through the cracks of the health-insurance system. Penticton woman Robbin Loughridge said she and her husband have made use of the previous clinics to address serious issues, but routine checkups are out of the question for her family of ¿ve, which has no health insurance. “Regular dentist visits for an adult who has no insurance costs a minimum of $100 a visit,” she said. “Personally, with three children I can’t afford it. That’s not something to me that’s a priority anymore.” While young children have access to oral health programs, the buck apparently stops at older people. “I just ¿nd it odd that we live in Canada and get treatment for anything we want but we can’t walk into the dentist and do the same,” Loughridge said. Henning has another free dental clinic organized for later this month, but has already ¿lled the day with about 20 appointments for the two participating dentists: Drs. Ian Dickinson and Amaal Ayoub.

“It doesn’t take much,” said Henning, discussing the need for the free dental clinics in the South Okanagan. Since the ¿rst clinic in August 2011, Henning said about 62 people have been helped by the program, which operates with the assistance of Quota International of Penticton. Free dental clinics operate in Kelowna and Vernon with a mix of private and public funding. Henning said she intends to approach some local charities and Interior Health for help starting a permanent clinic here. “We really see that a dental program that focuses on low-income and marginalized residents is very good and very important work,” said Susan Brown, Interior Health’s community administrator for the South Okanagan. Brown noted that IH has not yet received such a funding application but would “consider it very strongly.” Anyone who wishes to help with the clinic in any capacity can reach Henning at 250-493-9299.

Veteran plates expanded Western News Staff

Active members of the Canadian Forces can now drive with distinction too. The province has expanded the veterans’ licence plate program to include current regular and reserve members of the Canadian Forces who hold a trade quali¿cation. “I think it means a lot because it sort of felt like (active members) were on the outside, especially because other provinces have already done the program,” said Ed Findlater, trustee of the Penticton branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. Some 39,000 special licence plates have been issued to B.C. veterans since the program began in 2004. “This expansion of the program is an expression of thanks from the province, to recognize and support the men and women who serve our country, and I encourage them to display their new licence plates with pride,” Attorney General Shirley Bond said in a press release. To obtain a plate, service members must submit an application accompanied by a $5 administrative fee and proof of service. Contact any veterans’ association or visit www.icbc.com for more details on the program.
