NEW PLANS SAILED FOR WATERFRONT Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Changes are coming to the Okanagan Lake waterfront in Penticton, but two new proposals are dramatically different than the ¿rst two plans. Two previous options put forward in August provoked a strong negative reaction from community members when word spread that both plans included changing the traf¿c Àow along Lakeshore Drive to one way and eliminating the current angle parking in favour of parallel. The two new recommendations, which have yet to be developed in detail, now both support two-way traf¿c and angled parking along the stretch of Lakeshore drive from The Peach to the SS Sicamous. The change in direction, said Mayor Dan Ashton, has everything to do with the public input the city has received, especially from a 250-member protest rally on Aug. 28, which resulted in a 1,000 name petition presented to

council last Monday. “We know this is an issue that has the attention of the community,” said Ashton, adding that there would still have to be work done on the Okanagan Lake waterfront. “We need improvements down there. Improvements have to be done for safety, improvements have to be done for access.” Coun. Helen Konanz, one of the city’s two representatives on the waterfront revitalization committee, said the committee was responding to the public input. “I think we have all learned that people respond to presentations in different ways,” said Konanz. “How many times have I heard in the last couple of weeks that angle parking is so important? We would never have known that without the thousands of responses. How would we have known people didn’t want parallel parking?” Ashton said there will be a major public town hall meeting “as soon as possible” to gather public input on the new options as well as the existing two. City Manager Annette

Antoniak said the meeting is probably about three weeks away, with Mitch Moriziuk, the city’s director of operations, needing at least two weeks to prepare drawings based on the discussions the waterfront revitalization committee started Thursday. Cliff Martin, one of the organizers of the August protest rally at the beach, thanked the city and the waterfront committee for coming forward with the new options so quickly. “I didn’t really think it would happen,” said Martin. “I thought there would have to be a lot more protests.” As presented to council at a special public council meeting yesterday morning, both of the new options are much smaller in scope. Couns. Garry Litke, council’s other representatives on the waterfront revitalization committee, describes Option 3 as “minimalist.” “It’s not quite status quo, because there is quite a bit of crumbling infrastructure there that needs to be replaced and there are some minor improvements that need to be done,” said Litke, describing the option as just clean-

ing up the lakeshore. Option 4, however, is a little wider in scope. “There is a strong voice from the community that the walkway needs to be widened,” said Litke. “However, in order to widen that walkway at some points a little bit of beach might have to be sacri¿ced, a tree might have to come down, a few angled parking spaces might have to come out.” Option 4 also includes the removal of the mounds in Lakawana Park, a suggestion that met with applause from the small audience in council chambers. Coun. John Vassilaki said that work should also be included under Option 3. Rod King, chair of the waterfront revitalization committee, hopes they can have more details of Options 3 and 4 available to the public prior to the public meeting. “We just took the feedback from the public and those were the broad things we heard. It hasn’t been Àeshed out at all,” he said. “All the way along, I have said the more public input we have, the better.”

Keeping Terry Fox’s dream alive Kristi Patton

per cent of those teams honouring a loved one. To date, the Terry Fox Foundation has raised over $600 million for cancer research worldwide through the annual Terry Fox run, national school run day and other fundraising initiatives. The Terry Fox Research Institute seeks to improve signi¿cantly the outcomes of cancer research for the patient through a highly collaborative, team-orientated, milestone driven approach to research with the goal of enabling discoveries to translate quickly into practical solutions for cancer patients worldwide.

TERRY FOX RUN ORGANIZER Bill Palmer shows off his cancer supporter decal to promote this year’s Terry Fox Run. The annual event takes place Sunday starting at the SS Sicamous, rain or shine and to those of all abilities. There is no minimum pledge to participate.

“If there is an older person or someone with mobility problems they can walk even half a kilometre. There is no minimum pledge, even if you can only bring $1 that is still great, just come down and join,” said Palmer. The run is inspired by a dream, grounded in tradition and entirely volunteer driven. The Terry Fox Foundation believes it is a great

way to continue Fox’s message of hope for a cure by working together to outrun cancer. Palmer said there will be a short ceremony before the run starts and two members from the City of Penticton pipe band will play at the start in the Penticton Rose Garden. When participants ¿nish they will get a certi¿cate with this year’s stamp on it. T-shirts will also be on sale from the Terry Fox

foundation for $17. Palmer said he does have a small supply of long sleeve t-shirts that are $25. If they do run out more are available for purchase at www.terryfox.org. People can also register as teams to celebrate, honour and remember a loved one while making an impact on cancer research. Last year, 1,4,69 teams across Canada were able to raise $2.3 million for a cure with 30

A longstanding tradition in honour of a Canadian hero will continue in Penticton this Sunday as people keep Terry Fox’s dream to outrun cancer alive. The Terry Fox Run for Cancer Research will be taking place at the SS Sicamous and will continue along the Okanagan River Channel on one kilometre, three km and 10 km routes. This year, Penticton run organizer Bill Palmer decided to do something a little different. “I have a poster made up on a board that simply says, ‘I am running for ...’ and we welcome people to put down the name of the person who they are running for or put up a picture or anything that means something to them,” said Palmer. “I hope people can see all the reasons why people are running and how many people cancer effects.” Palmer will be writing down the name of his son, Doug, who after a ¿ve-year battle with multiple myeloma succumbed to the cancer in September 2005 at the age of 31. “They told us at the time that it was treatable, but not curable and his life expectancy would be ¿ve to eight years and it turned out to be just over ¿ve,” said Palmer. Watching his son go through treatment and being in close vicinity of many others, including kids, going through their treatment changed Palmer’s outlook on life. “I thought this would be my chance to give back. I want to help with whatever can be done so maybe it will help someone else in the future that went through what Doug went through and all the other people. Since the Terry Fox Foundation is all about research I thought this would be a good opportunity to do that,” said Palmer. Registration for Sunday’s event begins at 11 a.m. and the run starts at noon. Participants can run, walk, wheel or ride their way along the trail and people are also allowed to bring their dogs as long as they are on leash. The run is an all inclusive and non-competitive event, with no registration and no minimum pledge amount.

Keeping it Simple™

Penticton’s mayor is urging Vernon to do exhaustive research before pursuing a major sports event. Some Vernon of¿cials are hesitant to bid for hosting rights to Ironman Canada given that Penticton severed its relationship with the event after 30 years. “I would say that they should do their due diligence,” said Penticton mayor Dan Ashton. “Ironman is not the only label in town for long-distance athletes.” Based on Penticton’s experience, Ashton would not speculate if a bid from Vernon would be a mistake. “That’s not for me to answer,” he said. In July, transfer of Ironman Canada shifted from the individual who held the rights to Ironman Canada, Graham Fraser, to the event’s parent company, World Triathlon Corporation. Penticton, which had a contract with Fraser, then sought proposals for a triathlon and presentations were made by the Challenge Family, while the WTC waited until shortly before the 2012 race to make their bid to maintain a relationship with Penticton. A decision was ultimately made to work with Challenge and Ashton said it was largely based on some ongoing concerns about Ironman. “The athletes didn’t feel the experience they were getting was up to par,” he said. Another issue was the costs Penticton accrued hosting the event. Ashton said the city budgeted $105,000 last year, plus a $45,000 marketing fee, but that rose to $120,000 and a $60,000 marketing fee this year. Those costs are in addition to the work of the approxi-

mate 4,000 volunteers who work at the event. “There’s also been a great decline in the time the athletes stay in town, which is our economic bene¿t,” Ashton said. “The economic bene¿ts have been decreasing as our costs go up.” Ashton insists his council consulted with the business sector before deciding to shift away from Ironman. “We heard from the community that they weren’t deriving bene¿ts except for accommodations and restaurants. They (athletes) aren’t spending and that may be because of the economy.” Ashton said Challenge will support the athletes and provide more direct bene¿ts to the city, including sponsorship and marketing revenue. “It’s more community oriented and it’s not just a business coming to town. The bene¿ts stay in town.” WTC has stated that the next Ironman Canada will be held at the same time as Penticton’s Challenge, which Ashton said will splinter athletes and volunteers. But he insists his community will prevail. “Penticton has made an incredible choice for the athletes. Challenge is incredibly well respected in Europe, Australia and New Zealand,” he said. Vernon council is expected to make a decision on Ironman Sept. 21 and a bid package must be submitted to WTC Sept. 24.

Naturalists wary about KVR plan Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Some local naturalists are wary about next week’s public unveiling of a new conceptual plan for a portion of the Kettle Valley Rail Trail. “This meeting I think is a good thing, insomuch as it ¿nally brings out into the open that it’s the government’s intent to have motorized transport on the KVR,” said Brian Sutch, president of the Penticton Adventurers Club hiking group. “I think there’s going to be quite a bit of outrage.” A press release issued last week to announce the meeting Tuesday at the Naramata Centre mentions only that the plan calls for “enhanced trail opportunities for motorized users” on the section between Naramata and Chute Lake. John Hawkings, provincial trails manager for the B.C. government, declined to provide speci¿cs of the plan ahead of the meeting, but acknowledged that it includes greater access for motorized riders. “We are to some extent proposing a separation of uses. Where we can, we are develop-

ing alternative motorbike and ATV routes, and we’re providing additional and new facilities for both user groups,” he said. “We’re working with the ATVers and the dirt-bikers and the mountain-bikers and the cyclists and the walkers and everybody to come up with a holistic plan for the area that ensures that everyone has really high-quality recreation opportunities, whether you’re an ATVer or a cyclist.” For motorized users, that will mean access to sites like the rock ovens near Chute Lake, according to Terry Wardrop, spokesperson for the Quad Riders ATV Association of B.C., which participated in part of the planning process. “The plan has identi¿ed certain sections where there will be mixed use, and certain sections that will be exclusively non-motorized. But in order to achieve that, the government is going to have to do some work on connecting trails. The whole idea is to get the best of both worlds,” he said. Furthermore, the KVR and other rail trails are long, straight and “kind of boring,” Wardrop continued, so it’s the side trails in

which motorized users are most interested, and riders shouldn’t all be painted with the same brush. “Simply put: We’re not the enemy, and unfortunately, like anything, there’s always some people that don’t get it and spoil it for the rest.” The conceptual plan, which Hawkings said is a pilot project that could be used elsewhere in B.C., will also test the validity of a conÀict resolution committee that’s been working for a year to formalize a process to address some of the “ongoing conÀicts between motorized and nonmotorized users on the provincial rail trail network.” Hawkings also noted the proposal isn’t set in stone. “We think we’ve done a really good job putting together a plan that represents everybody, but we certainly will be providing lots of time at the meeting for the public to give us their thoughts.” Recommended improvements would cost $1 million to $2 million, depending on availability of grants, and take two years to complete, Hawkings added. Tuesday’s meeting at the Naramata Centre begins at 6:30 p.m.

EDITORIAL

Help to keep Terry Fox’s dream alive The news about Terry Fox’s run came slowly at ¿rst, little snippets of stories from here and there about this young man attempting to run across Canada. Soon, though, Canadians were mesmerized by the sight of this lone man, running with a jerky, hip hop gait due to the prosthesis that replaced his right leg from the hip down, battling all sorts of weather as he ran the length of a marathon everyday. With a leg lost to cancer, Terry had a dream. He wanted to complete a cross country run to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. That dream and his own magni¿cent spirt drove him to run 26 miles a day for 143 days — almost 3,500 miles. But despite his incredible drive, Terry had to call the run to a halt at Thunder Bay, Ontario. Cancer had once again take hold, this time spreading to his lungs. Terry told us he would be back, again showing his spirit as he promised to ¿ght and not give up. But it was a promise he couldn’t keep, though he battled to the very end. All of Canada mourned when in June 1981, at the age of 22, Terry lost his battle. But the spirit and the dream that drove Terry lives on. The very ¿rst Terry Fox run, in Sept. 1981, completed his goal of raising $1 from every Canadian to help in the battle of cancer. With Canada’s population hovering around 24 million, the Marathon of Hope raised $24.17 million. Nor has Terry’s spirit shown any sign of fading in the years since. Three decades later, with runs across Canada and around the world, the Terry Fox Foundation said that $500 million has been raised for cancer research. Though give year-round to help combat cancer, the annual Terry Fox runs are a rallying point. People come together to share stories of triumph and hope, a ¿tting tribute to the courage of this Canadian hero.

The 100-year starship Never mind the constraints of the miserable present: the shrinking budgets, the lost opportunities, the collapsing morale. Thinking is free, so let’s think really big. Let’s think about ... building a starship in the year 2112. Well, I’ve already been thinking about that for decades, actually, but that was just wishful thinking. Now there’s a whole organization for thinking about it, with a proper budget and government support and participation by private enterprise, and this week they’re holding a public conference in Houston, Texas: the ¿rst annual symposium of the 100 Year Starship Initiative. The sessions have ambitious titles: “Time and Distance Solutions”; “The Mission: Human, Robotic or Reconstituted?”; “Destinations and Habitats”; “Becoming an Interstellar Civilization”. But the organizers also realize that this project will take as long as building a Gothic cathedral: one session is simply called “Research Priorities for the First Ten of 100 Years”. Then they’ll have to set priorities for the next ten years, and the next, and the next.... The 100YSS, as it’s known, would probably not exist if the professionals interested in space

Gwynne Dyer

Dyer Straights Àight had really challenging near-space projects to work on. They don’t: one American space scientist described the current American space programme, and indeed those of its rivals elsewhere, as “trying to ¿nish what we started in the 1960s.” Low-orbit operations are vital, but they are not inspiring. Some of these frustrated professionals work at NASA and the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), so there is of¿cial support for thinking big. There’s not much money: DARPA gave the 100YSS only half a million dollars of seed money (out of its $3 billion budget), but then nobody is planning to build expensive hardware now. They just want to think about what kind of hardware (and software) would

be needed to go to the stars. So appoint a charismatic former astronaut to lead the organization – Dr Mae Jemison, the ¿rst African-American woman in space – and make sure that both private business and potential international partners feel comfortable with the approach. It’s a natural area for international cooperation: there are probably never going to be rival national starship programmes. Add a truckload of ambition, a pinch of hard-nosed realism, and stir. The ¿rst public outing for this enterprise is the symposium in Houston, and its popular appeal is obvious. It’s a heady thought that this may be where the future course of human history is set, and at this stage nobody has to deal with dreary things like budgets and project management. The most outrageous concepts can be welcomed, examined, and pursued or rejected. But is there any realistic prospect that human beings could ever build a starship? Nobody knows. As Douglas Adams’s seminal work, “The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, sagely observed: “Space ... is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is.” Building a starship would

therefore require not just four or ¿ve generations of technological revolutions. It would also require the overturning, or at least the wholesale reinterpretation, of the laws of physics as currently understood. Last time around, it took about ¿ve centuries, say from 1450 to 1950, to get through a comparable scale of change in technology and physics. But of course things move much faster now. At any rate, it’s hard to see what harm the 100YSS could do, even if it never achieves its objective. If the history of space-Àight up to now is any guide, at the very least it would produce radically new technologies that have major positive impacts on human welfare. And if it actually succeeded... That would be the biggest deal in human history. The most recent estimate is that there are about 30,000 planets suitable for our kind of life within a thousand light years of here. Most observers assume that if a planet can support life, then it will almost certainly have life. It would be a great pity to miss out on all that because of a mere lack of ambition.

Scrap the plans for marina The City of Penticton has put forth a presentation and survey on its website seeking feedback on the west Okanagan Lake revitalization project. The presentation shows two options for the major improvements along Lakeshore Drive and the adjoining beach, and is “based on public input” according to its opening page. However, the proposed marina for the rock pier west of the SS Sicamous is not presented as an option. It appears in both Option 1 and Option 2 as if it were a fait accompli, even when public input shows a majority of 62.1 per cent rated a boat dock area as being of little or no importance. This is indicated in question 24 of the Waterfront Revitalization committee’s own survey, available at: http://tinyurl.com/

Bill guts stafﬁng levels

With the passing of the Omnibus bill, we are already seeing measures taken to make it impossible for scientists to properly carry out their studies in regards to assessment of proposed risks and dangers of the proposed Enbridge pipeline. Fisheries and Oceans will apparently have less than half the staff it did 10 years ago, as 92 staff have been told their jobs have been cut. All but ¿ve of the Fisheries ¿eld of¿ces in B.C. are being closed. Of¿ces in crucial locations such as Prince George and Smithers are the ¿rst to be closed, thereby eliminating the possibility for scientists to bring any evidence of the dangers of building the Enbridge pipeline. Apparently, the deadline has been moved up to Dec. 31, 2013, making it more dif¿cult for any studies to be completed, especially with even fewer scientists. Harper will stop at nothing in order to push this pipeline through. Without a re¿nery in northern B.C., most jobs will be offshore, with few bene¿ts for Canadians. What other secrets will yet unfold from the Omnibus bill? How many federal and provincial park wardens are left to monitor our precious parks and all that we have for our enjoyment living in this our Canada? Irene MacDonald Penticton

Drinking water must be protected

I have been reading with interest the letters regarding the proposed additional boat marina alongside the SS Sicamous on Okanagan Lake. I only have one question: Has Interior Health been consulted regarding this? Okanagan Lake provides the drinking water for many com-

The marina is clearly not based on a desire from the public okanagan-waterfront. It is noteworthy that Coun. John Vassilaki has been ardent proponent of the marina project. The preliminary architect’s design for the marina was paid for by Vassilaki himself (Penticton Western News, 8 March 2011), and it now appears to be fully integrated into the Waterfront Revitalization

munities that surround the lake and more boats will mean more pollutants in the water. At present the IHA requires that drinking water purveyors ¿ll out a detailed description of what efforts they are taking to protect the watershed areas that surround the ground water source of the drinking water. So what is required to protect the actual source where the drinking water is pulled from? Providing this marina will increase boating activity on the lake and since Interior Health oversees the drinking water quality one would think that they would be required to have some input into anything that will increase the pollution of drinking water. Pollution will come from many sources, accidental spills of gasoline and oil from the boat motors, debris blowing off the boats into the water and ending up on the shoreline and the bottom of the lake, and the conscious polluting of those who just don’t care about the environment. It is generally accepted that one gallon of motor oil pollutes one million gallons of water. Break that down into smaller amounts and it is approximately 2.5 drops of oil to pollute one gallon of water to be over drinking water standards. I would also like to point out that what was done in the past does not mean it is the correct thing to do in the present. Our drinking water is under tremendous pressure and should be considered when any type of development occurs. Theresa Nolet Penticton

Transition not so seamless

Apparently the seamless transition announced in the paper in January of this year between Penticton dispatch and Kelowna dispatch has not been quite so seamless as some people would have the public believe.

Committee’s plans, despite there being minimal public input in favour of it. I ¿nd it outrageous, therefore, that Mayor Dan Ashton would state for the record, at the City Council meeting of Aug. 20, “... Council at no time directed senior staff on the waterfront committee on the direction of the public consultation, on the priorities (it) should take, i.e., the direction or the priorities or for any of the outcomes,” and went on to say, “there was absolutely no direction from the city manager, council, and/ or the mayor. This is the input that is coming forward from the public.” The marina is clearly not based on a desire from the public. Until it is, the plan should be scrapped.

Given the letters to the editors and the articles in both the Penticton Herald and Penticton Western News, it seems that the current system is inadequate. One of the articles also states that the “RDOS is moving towards a major upgrade.” Last summer when the proposals were put forth by the various interested parties wouldn’t it have been prudent of the RDOS members to have thoroughly researched what each of these proposals included? Did any of the regional directors (who are elected of¿cials representing their communities) educate themselves about the dispatch systems available before voting? It was recognized at that time that the aging radio equipment would need to be replaced. It doesn’t appear to have been in the Kelowna bid or why would the RDOS need to spend $49,000 on a study to ensure the current system is up to snuff? As stated by the deputy chief in Kelowna, the current system has experienced numerous glitches including downed computer systems due to overload, confusing directions, incorrect press dispatch reports and erroneous GPS locations to name but a few. The public is being reassured that Kelowna dispatch is continuing to correct and improve these glitches as they arise. Now the RDOS is talking about a major radio upgrade which could cost around a million dollars. I believe the public was duped into believing that by transferring dispatch to Kelowna they would be getting a superior system. It certainly is saving money on salaries in Penticton and perhaps that was the goal all along. I think the focus has been on the wrong issues and in the long term the RDOS and Penticton will suffer because of their short sighted decision. Compare the whole situation to shopping for clothes. I doubt

Drew Makepeace Penticton

there are many people who would not try on an out¿t before they purchase to ensure they get a proper ¿t so why didn’t the RDOS examine the proposals a little closer to ensure that they (and us the public) were getting the ‘right ¿t’?

any remark and respond with knee-jerk reactions and public comments that serve only to foment discontent and divide the community. There will always be persons in every group/ race/nationality (including Caucasians) with a persecution complex who wake up every morning and wonder what they can take offence with today. And every time these persons complain about anything we all coddle them and rush to appease, even when they exaggerate/expand the problem. This coddling is in itself a form of racism. One must not equate all humour with racism and bigotry and imply that not only is the joke-teller racist, but so also is the organization

for which he/she works. That labeling is unfair to all concerned and is, in itself, bigotry. Yes, at the moment the joke was told the person may have been thoughtless or insensitive but more-thanlikely is not a racist or bigot. That person should apologize for the remark, but the organization cannot be responsible for all breaches of policy. It can only try to prevent recurrence. Not only does this labeling categorize the joke-teller for life, but it also demonstrates the lack of compassion and the mean-spiritedness of the labeler — thus making him/her no better than the person who made the comment or told the joke.

Details readily available

A recent letter to the editor has asked “where are the details” with respect to the exciting new project proposed for Wharton Street in Summerland. The development concept was ¿rst presented to the public at an open house on March 29, 2012, held by the developers of the project. This open house showed the type of development, number and size of proposed buildings along with proposed uses within the buildings. Ninety-one people attended this open house with overwhelming support for the project. The project was reviewed in a public meeting by Summerland’s Advisory Planning Commission on April 20, 2012 where it received support. The zoning application received a full public hearing on April 23, 2012 and the rezoning bylaw was subsequently adopted. The details of the agreement to develop this property were advertised in the Summerland Review on May 3, 2012 and May 10, 2012. The draft agreements were available at Summerland City Hall for public review. The agreement provides $5.9 million in municipal facilities that include a new museum, new cultural facility and signi¿cant infrastructure upgrades in the area, in exchange for municipal property and waiving of municipal fees for the project. Independent appraisals of the property were completed to establish a market value. The value of the land coupled with the waiver of fees equals the value of public facilities to be given to the district. The legal documents include a Purchase and Sale Agreement, a Development Covenant, a Museum and Cultural Facility Space Agreement, a Re-Purchase Option and a Servicing Agreement. The agreements are drafted so no municipal funds are required. The land value covers all costs for the public facilities and off-site infrastructure improvements. The land will be transferred in phases as the properties are successfully developed. Ownership of the museum and cultural facility spaces will be transferred to the municipality upon their completion. We agree that a cultural centre de-

are bigots and racists and make malicious remarks intentionally meant to demean or embarrass. This is most unfortunate and, where possible, these individuals should be held accountable. We, as Canadians, can never respect these individuals’ opinions. I believe that as Canadians we are all equal and special status and political considerations should not be afforded to any individual or group, be they in the majority or a minority. That would be racism. Some individuals see my comments as bigotry. Nothing could be further from the truth and I will not dignify those bullies with a response. Patrick MacDonald Penticton

¿nes the downtown of any community and anticipate that the Okanagan Regional Library will be included in this exciting new development. Free standing structures are less ef¿cient than multi-use buildings and complimenting uses of multi-tenant buildings provide a synergy for all to enjoy. The current proposal is a downsizing from the previous proposal agreed to with a former developer in 2008. The former proposal was also subject to signi¿cant public process. This successful agreement is the culmination of over 10 years of study and negotiation. The district is looking forward to the development of this important downtown property and the increase in business and vitality it will bring to Summerland.

Cyclists show courtesy

It is disappointing to see the venom with which some residents attack Ironman Canada athletes. The Ironman experience was fantastic for the Penticton area and I have high hopes that the Penticton Challenge will be just as inspiring. There has always been such a wonderful, positive, healthy energy around this event that it lifts the spirits of the entire city. The economic bene¿ts have also been huge and it has been well worth the relatively minor traf¿c inconveniences that have resulted from this. Sure, it’s hard to cross Main Street for four or ¿ve hours on Sunday; so what? Given the importance to the community, locals should be able to plan around this event. This year I found the cyclists to be particularly thoughtful as they were training in the Okanagan. They didn’t bunch up and they generally tried to stay on their portion of the road. It’s too bad that some motorists couldn’t show them the same courtesy. These athletes are tremendous role models for all the sedentary people in our community and they add so much in the short time that they are here. Let’s hope that the Penticton Challenge keeps this tradition going for many more years to come. Tom Hoenisch Naramata

Ramshackle property purchased by RDOS for rec use Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Taxpayers now own a ramshackle property attached to the southwest

corner of Okanagan Falls Provincial Park. The Regional District of OkanaganSimilkameen announced Wednesday it bought

the property at 1295 Green Lake Road for $175,000, well under the 2012 assessed value of $229,700. Tom Siddon, the

RDOS director for the area, said it was a courtordered sale triggered by the death of the owner and subsequent disagreements by the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

heirs. The property has long been in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;terrible state of desecration,â&#x20AC;? he noted, so when the opportunity to buy presented itself, he recommend-

ed the RDOS do it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some people in (Okanagan Falls) who might say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s private land, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to get it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; But

on the other hand, once you pass up the opportunity you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it back except by paying a lot more money.â&#x20AC;? Siddon said he expects RDOS staff will begin cleaning up the property this fall by removing some of the junk thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strewn about. It would be Âżtting to then sell or lease the land to BC Parks to increase the size of the campground, Siddon said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but other ideas came to the table as well, as to what the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest might be.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It certainly one way or another has to be used for recreational use,â&#x20AC;? Siddon continued, adding it could also be a bargaining chip in separate negotiations with B.C. Parks to have Christie Memorial Park at the south end of Skaha Lake placed under RDOS control. Dan Ashton, chair of the RDOS board, said the acquisition on Green Lake Road was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a great purchase for us (and) a great purchase for everybody in the province, we hope.â&#x20AC;? He said the property ought to be tacked on to the campground â&#x20AC;&#x153;to make a bigger and better park for everybody to utilize. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an absolutely beautiful spot.â&#x20AC;? The 25-site, twohectare campground could probably grow by a handful of spaces with the new addition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;BC Parks has a very limited budget for land acquisitions and we rely on strong partnerships with other levels of government and the community to assist in key acquisitions,â&#x20AC;? spokesperson Suntanu Dalal said via email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this case, BC Parks is exploring mechanisms, such as a lease agreement, that would create a strong partnership with the RDOS to manage this land for park purposes.â&#x20AC;?

Sweet & Lovely a touching memorial Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

Paul Klyne’s eyes well up as he watches the music video tribute he made to his wife Dina who died of breast cancer. It wasn’t that long ago he could barely get past singing the ¿rst line of Sweet & Lovely without breaking down. While it is still hard for him to speak about Dina without pause to gather himself, he knows what he is doing will help others who are also going through the battle of breast cancer. “Everyone’s life has been touched by breast cancer. I think that this has a universal appeal. My hope is to get people to share the video,” said Klyne. During the Labour Day weekend, Klyne gathered with friends to ¿lm the music video to his recording Sweet & Lovely. The song was penned in memory of his late wife Dina, who after a four-year battle with the disease died from breast cancer in October 2007. She spent 129 days at the Andy Moog Hospice Society and Klyne said proceeds from song downloads through www.cdbaby.com will bene¿t the B.C. Cancer Foundation and the Andy Moog Hospice Society. Klyne, who also lost both of his parents to cancer, re-married and his wife Destinee wrote the song Sweet & Lovely. Klyne said she saw the pain he still held and wrote the song from his perspective. “It immediately resonated with me. She got me and so succinctly conveyed the message. She just got it,” said Klyne of Destinee’s song. The couple’s friend, and Maeve Lily School of music instructor, Aidan Mayes helped them them develop it. “Aidan sang it for me one day and I was just in a puddle. Destinee said to me she wanted me to sing that song. I got through the ¿rst line and I was crying ... when I got to the lyric ‘your mom still cries everyday’ it took a long time to get through that,” said Klyne. It was by chance the couple met another musician at the dog park in Penticton that helped them take the

Housekeeping for Homeowners. Like most British Columbians, your home is likely your most precious investment, but keeping it protected with simple home maintenance often falls behind a busy lifestyle and other priorities. Yet basic home maintenance does not require a lot of specialized skills or know-how, is very cost effective and an excellent approach to protection against an unexpected crisis and costs. Here we share some important tips to keep your home and family safe. t Prevent the possibility of a fire hazard by keeping the dryer vent clean. Clean the lint filter every time you run your dryer and once a year slide the vent out and remove any lint build up.

SINGER PAUL KLYNE of Penticton holds a photograph of his late wife Dina who is the inspiration for the song, Sweet & Lovely. She died in 2007 of breast cancer and the single was done to raise money for the Penticton & District Hospice Society and the BC Cancer Foundation.

recording a step further. “We teed it up and he liked it and that is how the harmonica landed on there. What a cool sound too from a tourist we just happened to meet in town, so that was really neat,” said Klyne, who added the track was produced by Amanda Bentley. Sweet & Lovely is the nickname Paul gave Dina when the pair met working at Theos Restaurant. “I would bring guests to her table and I would say the sweet and lovely Dina will be taking care of you tonight and it just stuck,” said Klyne. Those featured in the music video include Dina’s parents, family and friends. Klyne said one person is a friend of his that is a breast cancer survivor. This is Klyne’s ¿rst recording and he plans on re-

leasing an EP in the fall of 2013 featuring “edgy-country music.” To view the video go to YouTube or visit www.facebook.com/ PaulKlyneMusic. The singer is also on Twitter @PaulKlyneMusic and is asking everyone to share the video and use the hashtag #SingingForACure. “Share it. If you are moved or touched by the song share it with your friends and write a comment why you are moved by it. I just read a post on the Facebook page and it just about brought me to tears,” said Klyne. “Breast cancer is really prevalent in almost everyone’s lives. Everyone is touched by it and if we can all support and share each other’s stories we can heighten each other’s awareness and help raise funds for worthy causes.”

t Run an energy efficient furnace by replacing filters at least every three months, especially for proper operation over winter. Dirty filters block airflow, lowering air quality and making it potentially dangerous to your family’s health. They also cause furnaces to work overtime, increasing energy bills and eventually to overheat, burn out and be replaced. t Prevent mold by monitoring your home for condensation. Too much moisture indoors eventually poses a health risk, and left untreated will rot woodwork. Examine your windows, checking for cracks or breaks in the seals that can easily be fixed.

HOME INSURANCE WITH

CORI WATTS

t Guard against water damage by looking for signs of dripping and corrosion on exposed pipes around toilets, sinks and appliances. Leaking fixtures can often be fixed with simple replacement parts like O-rings, cartridges or flappers for leaky toilets. Leaks are easy to miss, but early repair avoids costly water damage. t Make sure your gutters are clean and water run-off is unobstructed. At least once a year physically remove debris and build-up from your gutters and ensure your downpipes are clear. Blocked gutters and pipes can force water to back up and soak into the roof, walls, and even the foundation. Basic upkeep of your home protects your investment and safeguards your family. And it’s easy enough to do yourself with an idea of what to look for and why.

Delightful after taste in Sweet Tooth thriller

Heather Allen

Armchair Book Club

I never know whether I’m going to love or hate a new novel by British literary giant Ian McEwan. Some of my all-time

favourite books are his: Amsterdam (1998), a euthanasia pact between a newspaper editor and a composer, Atonement (2001), a chilling tale

of false accusations, and Saturday (2003), a post9/11 portrait of a neurosurgeon. Some of his other titles, however, have

fallen Àat. Nonetheless I was optimistic about McEwan’s latest novel, Sweet Tooth, which is billed as a cold-war spy thriller. This set-up

seemed tailor-made for a writer known for his ability to create great characters and ratchet up tension. In Sweet Tooth a

youthful and beautiful blonde, Serena Frome, is recruited into Britain’s spy world. She doesn’t get there on her own merit, but rather because she is dating a handsome professor with espionage connections. But things don’t progress quite like a fast-paced John le Carré novel. Instead, Serena is content to toil as a lowly clerk in MI5’s basement, working on nothing of particular interest or consequence. She has few friends, lives in a shabby bedsit and spends her free time speed-reading novels. One night, Serena imagines an author looking at her life as if she were a character in a book. Most readers would ¿nd her story rather dull and grey, she muses (cue a knowing wink from McEwan here). Eventually, however, Serena is called up from the basement to work on an operation that will covertly fund anticommunist authors. As Serena is groomed to recruit a novelist, McEwan devises playful stories within stories, and ideas within ideas. I was worried at this point not about Serena’s safety, but for the story, which was on the verge of being overshadowed by an irritating show of cleverness. I had no need to worry on either front. Serena and the novelist fall dangerously in love, and at the same time, McEwan rescues his story with a few twists, turning it into a masterful piece of writing. Comments posted on various websites rated Sweet Tooth as everything from “stinker” to “sublime.” I was at odds with the strong reactions because for the ¿rst time after ¿nishing a McEwan book, I didn’t have an immediate reaction of love or hate. It’s a book that has to sit for awhile before it can be fully appreciated. McEwan has been nominated for the Man Booker Prize six times, winning it once. If Sweet Tooth’s surprisingly subtle but lingering after taste is recognized, I have no doubt that McEwan will be nominated yet again. Heather Allen is a writer and reader living in Penticton.

A small construction job is underway at Penticton Secondary School to close off a hiding place that prompted safety concerns. Workers are pouring a new concrete wall near the auto shop that will create more storage space and also eliminate a small alcove. Okanagan Skaha School District superintendent Wendy Hyer said the hideaway became a hangout for drug users and at least one homeless person, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so it was a safety issue for our kids.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they designed the building, it was obviously an oversight to have that nook and cranny, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just putting a wall up there to eliminate that, but also address the needs of the shop classes that needed some storage,â&#x20AC;? Hyer said. School district secretary-treasurer Ron Shongrunden was not immediately able to provide an exact Âżgure, but said the work will cost about $300,000.

Yard sale shopping for a cause Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

This weekend, Penticton residents have a chance to spend a few shopping dollars, and help out children in Thailand at the same time. Starting at 8 a.m. Saturday, the Penticton Rotary Club is taking over the Penticton Arena for a giant yard sale to help raise funds for their international projects. Barb Hoolaeff came up with the idea as a way to help fund the building of a school for the children of the Akha Hill tribe, who live in a remote area of Thailand. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a project she visited earlier this year along with a team of Rotarians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were laying bricks to help build the school. That project is coming along, but there is a lot more work yet,â&#x20AC;? she said, explaining that education is key to the survival of the tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children, about 250 of whom are attending the training centre. About half of the tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children, she said, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it to adulthood because of various reasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They die either from sexual exploitation or from starvation. They live up in the hills, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the access to anything,â&#x20AC;? said Hoolaeff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parents are Âżnding out more and more about the training centre and they are willingly bringing them down to live there and get an education.â&#x20AC;? The concept is to build a school and a program that will also have a large agricultural component.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they wish to go back up into the hill tribe, they will learn how to make enough money growing rubber trees and coffee plants as part of their education that they will be able to support their families as well,â&#x20AC;? said Hoolaeff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are others that go on and go to university. It will be a good mix for everybody.â&#x20AC;? Hoolaeff said they already have a big steel box â&#x20AC;&#x201D; courtesy of BigSteelBox â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Âżlled and more goods to be put out on sale Saturday. Items for sale range from kitchen items to tools, clothes and furniture. Along with the Akha Hill tribe project, money raised at the yard sale will go to support other Rotary International Projects, like their support of micro loans through Kiva International. Brian Hughes, the current president of Penticton Rotary, said they are working hard on expanding the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s membership in order to support projects like the yard sale. Like many service clubs, the members of Penticton Rotary have been aging. But now, said Hughes, younger people are starting to sign up, helping to change the projects the club can attempt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We start looking at projects that take a bit of energy and fundraising. When you have a smaller, older club, you tend to be careful about how you expend your energies,â&#x20AC;? said Hughes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But suddenly, when you are bringing in 10 or 20 new members, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to keep everyone busy and be creative with your new

Special gathering to grieve the loss of a loved pet Mark Brett

Western News Staff

Mark Brett/Western News

TRACY WESTMORELAND (left) of the Penticton BC SPCA and Kelly Phipps of the Penticton and District Hospice Society’s Bereavement Resource Centre with pets Murphy and Charly spend a quiet moment at the pet cemetery Thursday. The two organizations are hosting a special pet memorial service Sunday, Sept. 23.

Scratch and increase your fortune!

They are a comfort, a con¿dante but best of all they give love unconditionally. So how do people cope with the loss of a four-legged family member? Where do they go to ¿nd the solace to begin the healing process and move on? These are just some of the issues organizers plan to address at the ¿rst Pet Memorial Service planned for Sunday, Sept. 23, at the Penticton Seniors Drop-In Centre. Arranged through the Penticton and District Hospice Society Bereavement Resource Centre and BC SPCA, those who have lost pets are invited to attend the special gathering in remembrance and celebration of those lives. “The loss of a pet is a huge loss and needs to be afforded the sensitivity that we would offer any major loss in our life,” said facilitator Sam (Sandra) Lucier who was involved in a similar service in June for parents who had lost children. “We will gather around the memories of those pets we’ve loved

This is an opportunity to say goodbye and honour their memory. — Kelly Phipps

and lost.” According to Kelly Phipps, program director for the centre, to many people their pets are their children. “For those who do not have pets this may be hard to understand but to those who do, it can be a very dif¿cult time,” she said. “In this service those who do have pets will be in a place where everybody there also understand the loss. “This is an opportunity to say goodbye and honour their memory.” In her time as branch manager at the regional BC SPCA Tracy Westmoreland knows there is a very real need for some form of help. “I have shared tears and quiet sorrow with so many loving pet owners needing to share their

memories and sorrows after losing that special bond,” she said. “For many people, pets ¿ll a profound emotional need, they provide a source of unconditional love, acceptance and welcome that few humans could match.” Often for many people — especially those who don’t get the proper support — the initial reaction is to resolve to never get another animal. But eventually though, as Phipps has learned through personal experience, even that can change. “We lost our dog last year and we just now have opened up our home and our hearts to bring a new one in,” she said. “We recognized we do have enough love to bring another pet in to share our lives with us.” “I think initially people often hurt so much it’s so hard to say goodbye and think I can’t go through that hurt again. but then you realize how much you are missing. They do make a house a home.” The service begins at 1:30 p.m. and people are asked to bring a picture of their pet no larger than 5 x 7 inches.

For local architect Florian Maurer, energy ef¿ciency isn’t only a way to save money on power bills — it’s an ethical responsibility. Maurer said too many people are simply focused on getting bang for their buck without considering the environmental implications of their actions “Everybody is talking payback these days,

as if this was the only consideration by which to make our decisions,” he said. “Where do moral imperatives come in? Have they all fallen by the wayside when we voted Stephen Harper in? It’s just ridiculous.” “I hear the payback to be a hired killer is very quick, still we don’t go around doing it,” he added. “It is a moral, it’s an ethical imperative for us as architects to be seen as not leaving a stone unturned to get off

fossil fuels.” Maurer installed solar panels on his roof to generate electricity and a geothermal heating system to heat his house. The heating system uses the Earth’s warmth underground to heat water, which is then circulated through the house, bypassing most of his need for fossil fuels. Maurer, an architect with local ¿rm Allen and Maurer Architects, built his new home to be as ef¿cient as possible,

trying to reach net-zero status. Being a net-zero home means the house is essentially off the grid, being independent of gas lines and outside power sources. Maurer’s home, while not quite net-zero, received a ranking of 91 out of 100, a rating which Gilles Lesage, an energy advisor with Energywise Solutions, said is the highest ranking a renovated home can hope to receive. Maurer is still set to receive a sizable chunk of money through the government’s LiveSmart program, which provides cash incentives to people renovating their homes to make them more environmentally sound. The maximum amount of money the provincial government pays out is $7,000, said Dean Neveu, owner and operations manager of Energywise Solutions. Homeowners who renovated in the past could have seen more incentives, however federal programs have been cut, said Neveu. Even the current LiveSmart program is set to expire next March, and while there are works to develop a new program, whether it will be implemented is anybody’s guess. “The thing about this program and, even using the government’s own numbers, is these programs stimulate the economy in that they create jobs, because people are renovating their homes and even using the government’s own numbers, for what they pay out in these incentives, they get a dollar back,” said Neveu. “They’re essentially doubling the money for themselves, but yet they seem to just get cut. I don’t have an answer as to why, it just doesn’t

make any sense.” The government aren’t the only ones who could be sending cheques to those who highly ef¿cient homes. Should the houses generate more electricity than it uses, the power company sends cheques, not bills, for the power added to the grid through a net-monitoring program, which measures how much electricity is taken from, or in this case added to, the grid. In some provinces such as Ontario, the electricity is paid back at a rate much higher than what consumers buy the power for, said Devin Krenz, Okanagan regional engineer with FortisBC, due to Ontario’s reliance on energy sources such as nuclear power. However, in B.C., where much of the power generation is hydroelectric and relatively clean, these incentives wouldn’t make sense. Despite the environmental bene¿ts a netzero home has, Maurer said people would usually prefer to spend the money on a few more square feet in their home instead of making it environmentally friendly, a decision he said people need to think about. Maurer said between the cost of the system on his roof and the geothermal heating, people could only afford an additional 400 sq. feet in their home. “I think it’s important to stretch the ethical aspect,” he said. “We must touch the payback, but it’s important to make these decisions. So do I build 2,000 sq. feet and be as wasteful as ever, or do I build 1,600 and become a citizen of the future? These are moral decisions that we all must make.”

Drag racer leaves opponents in smoke Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

A few things helped Bill Boult win the International Hot Rod Association Summit Super Series championship: experience and his 1969 Camaro, that he has been able to perfect with countless hours of tender loving care. “I do spend a lot time tuning it,” said Boult of the 600 cubic inch engine with 900 horsepower big block Chev. “Making it do what I want on the race track, there is a little bit of luck involved.” With 15 years of oval track racing to his credit, he has used that knowledge towards drag racing success, which he has been doing since the late ‘90s. Boult’s wife Margo also gets plenty of credit as she helps him with various duties. The couple has been involved in various types of racing all their married life. “The family that races together stays together,” said Boult, who has two sons. “I think it’s awesome,” said Margo, adding with a laugh she is commonly called the pit bitch.

BILL BOULT enjoyed a successful drag racing season as his 1969 Camaro helped him win the International Hot Rod Association Summit Series championship. Boult also won the Thunder Mountain Raceway points race in Kelowna the last two years.

Boult also won in Kelowna, earning free entry into next season. Last weekend, the ¿nal race of the season, he won though it didn’t matter. “He has already got enough points nobody can catch him,” said Margo. “It was a very successful year for me in that way,” said Boult, a four-time-

Pan Am Games a learning experience Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Competing in the Junior Pan Am Games proved to be an entirely different level for Claire Boothe and Sukhresh Kaloty. The members of Summerland’s Taneda Karate Dojo quali¿ed for the international competition in Cancun, Mexico Aug. 30 to Sept. 1 after competing in the Canadian national championship in March. Boothe is the reigning Canadian champion in the girls 16/17-year-old -48-kilogram sparring division. They also represented Canada in the Junior Olympics and U.S. Open. Boothe won silver in the Junior Olympics and bronze at the open. Kaloty competes in the 16/17-year-old, 68-kg sparring division. Both lost their only match in the Pan Am Games, Boothe 4-0 to Amy McNeill, while Kaloty, who couldn’t be reached for comment, by the same score. “I think they did great,” said coach Mike Ditson, also the coach of Zone 2 Okanagan and Team B.C. “The Pan Americans is a fairly high level of competition. Maybe higher than we expected before we got there.” Boothe, now studying kinesiology at the University of British Columbia, said it wasn’t her best tournament

The Pan Americans is a fairly high level of competition. Maybe higher than we expected before we got there. — Mike Ditson

adding that the pressure of a different atmosphere got to her. McNeill was a three-time Pan Am medalist, who went on to earn a bronze medal. She had lost to Boothe before. “These levels are just so much stronger than anyone from Canada or the U.S.,” said Boothe, impressed with the atmosphere. “It was a really cool experience.” What she cherished was the unity of Team Canada and being around the athletes from other provinces. “There is usually quite a bit of rivalry between the provinces,” she added. “It was pretty surreal. Instead of having our dojo crests, we had a Canada Àag on our gi. Being able to go in there and know that you are one of the best in the

country and you have the honour to represent your country is, I can’t even describe the feeling.” Boothe would like to return but her studies will prevent her from training like she used to. Ditson said that Boothe is close to being successful at the Pan Am level. As for Kaloty, who is studying ¿rst-year pharmacy at the University of British Columbia-Okanagan, Ditson said he fought fantastic in a tough matchup against a Venezuelan. “In the Pan American level for karate, Venezuela is the No. 1 country,” he said. “We asked him to ¿ght it a very speci¿c way. It’s a two-minute match and he fought pretty perfect for one minute, 53 seconds. One mistake with seven seconds to go kind of cost him the ¿ght. He did really well.” Ditson said they gained knowledge of what the competition is like. Now they know what to improve on for a return, which Ditson said it will be easier for Boothe being in a smaller division. Ditson said that process begins in a few weeks starting with the zone level, then provincials (November), then Team B.C. selections in January. National championships are in March.

He’s a mechanic who owned an automotive shop for 27 years focused on working on performance vehicles. The other aspect he loves is the competition and proving what the vehicle can do. “It feels a bit like a car show,” he said, crediting his sponsor Brutus Truck Bodies for making it look good. Boult’s interest in rac-

ing started with his brother Wayne, who was involved with a group but didn’t race. When they faded away, Boult took over. Next season Boult and his wife hope to compete in the United States. He will make a few changes to his car to maintain his success, however, Boult said the main thing is to get in a lot of races.

Pen High introduces under-13 hoop league Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

An under-13 girls basketball league will hit the court at Penticton Secondary School for eight weeks, beginning the end of September. Chris Terris, a Lakers basketball coach, is putting it together to create interest in the sport and develop skills at a younger age. He also wants to give an opportunity to students in his basketball skills course, which is new, to give back by volunteering to coach younger players. Terris said while the basketball programs at Pen High are strong, having outstanding coaches, the skill development and understanding of the game in the top programs in places like Kelowna and Kamloops allowed those cities to jump ahead. “They don’t have more athletic kids, better facilities or stronger instruction,” said Terris. “Their kids’ compete level isn’t any higher. I’d argue that often the only thing keeping our kids hanging in there is their competitive natures. Their kids simply start playing competitively at a younger age. The focus of this course is both skill development and improving their basketball IQs.” Terris intends to focus entire classes on one skill like passing or defending off the ball and stressing technique. He hopes this will be

bene¿cial for junior and senior players. Students in the basketball skills classes will volunteer a minimum of 20 hours to coaching or refereeing at the middle and elementary schools. For the class, Terris had nearly 90 students register. Funding unfortunately only allowed for one block of 30 students. The plan for the league is to play on Sundays from 2:30 to 4 p.m. with 40 Grade 6 and 7 girls. They will be divided into four teams with an hour of skill development and a 30-minute game. The basketball skills students will coach the players and part of their assessment is to build quality practice plans that engage and provide quality skill instruction. “It’s no secret that we learn at a completely different level when we have to teach skills to others, so there will be an obvious bene¿t for our student-coaches,” said Terris. “They’ll also referee the games after a couple of training sessions with our director of referees, Dave Kroschinsky.” Those wanting more information can contact Terris at cterris63@gmail.com.

Steve King honoured by race name Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Steve King, known for announcing the Subaru Ironman Canada triathlons, is honoured to have a race in his name. The Steve King Classic (100-kilometre)

will take place Saturday beginning at 6 a.m. at Mile Zero in Princeton and ¿nishes at 7 p.m. in Summerland’s Memorial Park. “I’m honoured also because it’s for a very good cause, Feed the Valley,” said King.

“It’s very pleasing for me. Far better now than a memorial as Steve (Brown) was saying.” King said he knew that Brown, the race director, had been planning on hosting an event. He just had no idea it would take his

name. Brown, owner of Peach City Runners and Adventure Sports, made the decision based on King’s years of dedication to ultra sports. King said the event will be a preview for those considering Ultraman Canada. Stage one of the course takes runners through Maverick Ranch Crossing (16.3-km). To learn more about the course, check www.stevekingclassic.com. Athletes have the choice of doing the ul-

tra event or the relay. King will be announcing the race and admitted it will be a bit “weird” calling a race named after him. When asked, he joked that he might have to be careful not to have a slip of the tongue and call ¿nishers an Ironman. “I hope it becomes an event that people enjoy and is quite popular,” he said, also taking a moment to encourage people to support the Terry Fox Run on Sunday. “Come raise some funds to

help some locals.” Brown said in an email that the registration is very disappointing in terms of overall numbers. They expect 14 solo/ ultra runners to start the race. In addition, nine relay teams will participate, giving a total of 79 athletes. Despite those numbers, he said they certainly hope to make it an annual event. He added that they will have an opportunity to talk with the athletes, who he described as ambassadors,

this weekend for input. “Try to ¿gure out if it is something we did wrong or if it is just a result of so many events being available every weekend in all parts of the Paci¿c Northwest,” he said. “Attracting people to new events is just that much more dif¿cult. “We believe that we are offering a good event but ultimately it is the athletes that decide if an event lives or dies simply by their attendance or lack of attendance.”

Lakers roster needs ﬁlling, but coach sees greater talent Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Robert Dirk’s main concern as the Penticton Lakers open the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League season is his roster. With only eight forwards committed, the Lakers coach-GM needs four more. Dirk is in the process of ¿nding the right pieces. “I’m not just going to add a kid for the sake of adding a kid, right?” said Dirk. The Lakers other problem with opening night, which is Friday at 7 p.m. against the Osoyoos Coyotes, is they have four players suspended.

The Lakers roster shows Carter Jensen has two games left to sit, while Paulsen Lautard has one game, Jayce Polman-Tuin two games and Michael Pond two games. Dirk will also be sitting out the opener due to a one-game suspension from last season. “It’s going to be interesting to see who I have in the lineup and how we’re going to do,” said Dirk. The Lakers have players deciding if they want to come back or

have been cut from junior A teams and are sitting at home. Dirk is con¿dent in adding four veterans to what he feels will be a strong hockey club. “Very good hockey club actually, better than last year,” said Dirk, adding that the Lakers will be bigger and more talented. The Lakers have two returnees in defenceman JR Krolik, their captain, and Cam Rout. Ice chips: Lakers ticket prices have been dropped — $6 for adults, $5 for seniors and students, kids 10 and under are free. The Lakers next home game is Sept. 19 when they host the Princeton Posse at 7 p.m.

Innovation gets a jump start Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Technology startups in the South Okanagan got a bit of a leg up on Tuesday. That’s when the Jump:Start:Challenge program arrived at the Penticton Innovation Centre, with 22 companies coming forward to make their pitch to the panel of expert judges. Just 10 companies made it past the judges in this ¿rst event in the series, earning the chance to move on to the next round of the challenge, where they will receive eight weeks of intense training, coaching and mentoring to improve their investor presentations. Andrew Greer, community manager for the Penticton Innovation Centre, said the event was planned even before the PIC opened earlier this year. “It was a de¿ned effort from Accelerate Okanagan to create some more buzz in the South Okanagan,” Greer said. “There is a lot going on here in the south. I don’t think people really see that.” Greer said that out of the 31 companies enrolled in AO’s Venture Acceleration program, eight are from the South Okanagan and two more are starting this month. “That will bring us up to ten, which is a third of the companies, for a much smaller population base,” he said. “The South Okanagan is really pulling its weight.” Considering it was the ¿rst in the series, the event was also well attended. Greer said it was standing room only, with over 100 people attending, including the Startup

Then there were the 22 companies making their pitches. “We had one that came in live from Vancouver, we had one that was on Skype from Vancouver, we had one from Ontario and the rest here from the Okanagan,” said Greer. One of those hopefuls was Michael

Suhr of Penticton, whose company, Circle Radius Films, is producing an immersive video game for mobile platforms, like smart phones and tablets. While he didn’t make it into the top 10, Suhr learned a lot from the experience. It was not only his ¿rst time making a pitch of this sort, he admits it was his ¿rst time in front of a microphone. Though he had prepared and practiced, Suhr said he was a bit anxious as he pitched his plan to the judges, describing how his game would take advantage of new developments in mobile tech, allowing for a game driven by CGI graphics, rather than the typical sprite-based games like Angry Birds. “It’s a mobile development title. It’s console-quality graphics on a mobile device,” said Suhr. “The game itself is an immersive storyline concept.” Suhr isn’t daunted by not being selected for the next round. Rather, he said it was an amazing forum to participate in. “While waiting to take part, I got started talking to some of the entrepreneurs that came from Vancouver and they have been recently to pitch competitions in Vancouver, Seattle, California,” Suhr said. “These events happen everywhere and having this in Penticton is completely invaluable.” The 10 ¿nalists were Octothorpe Software Corporation, ..duo, Trajectory Design Automation Corp., Media Cooler Innovations Inc., GreenStep Sustainability Coaching, ProgenyBio, Counterpart Technologies Inc., Proactive Automated BackÀow Technologies Inc., Moteas and Cream HR.

Terry Fox was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and raised in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, a community near Vancouver on Canada’s west coast. An active teenager involved in many sports, Terry was only 18 years old when he was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer) and forced to have his right leg amputated 15 centimeters (six inches) above the knee in 1977. While in hospital, Terry was so overcome by the suffering of other cancer patients, many of them young children, that he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. He would call his journey the Marathon of Hope. After 18 months and running over 5,000 kilometers (3,107 miles) to prepare, Terry started his run in St. John’s, Newfoundland on April 12, 1980 with little fanfare. Although

it was difficult to garner attention in the beginning, enthusiasm soon grew, and the money collected along his route began to mount. He ran 42 kilometers (26 miles) a day through Canada’s Atlantic provinces, Quebec and Ontario. It was a journey that Canadians never forgot. However, on September 1st, after 143 days and 5,373 kilometers (3,339 miles), Terry was forced to stop running outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario because cancer had appeared in his lungs. An entire nation was stunned and saddened. Terry passed away on June 28, 1981 at age 22. The heroic Canadian was gone, but his legacy was just beginning. To date, more than $400 million has been raised worldwide for cancer research in Terry’s name through the annual Terry Fox Run, held across Canada and around the world.

Regional district ofﬁcials in hot water Steve Arstad Black Press

plained that the community’s well is drilled into an uncon¿ned aquifer, which means surface water can ¿nd its way into the well. Shocking the well would take up to two days, and without adequate storage capacity in the Olalla reservoir, water would have to be trucked in at formidable cost. The problem with the well may resolve itself over time, French added. One resident insisted that former mining op-

erations in the mountains above Olalla were responsible for the contamination, but French con¿rmed that heavy metals, including arsenic, were not an issue with the Olalla water supply. Several residents demanded to know who was going to pay for their additional expenses as a result of having to boil water. One resident wanted the regional district to pro rate her water bill, while another asked

for compensation for the purchase of bottled water — compensation for which is not common practice, replied regional district staff. Director Woods explained that Olalla residents weren’t alone in the regional district with water issues. She displayed a chart indicating six other communities in the regional district that were on boil water advisories, in some cases, for more than a year. Solving the contamina-

tion issue would be prohibitively expensive, she explained. The meeting was also intended to involve other topics of discussion, however, it appeared that Olalla residents had little else to bring to the board than their water concerns. Other topics raised brieÀy included yard waste pick up and composting practices. Former Similkameen Trails Society chair Joe Little¿eld also spoke to the

gathering about community involvement. As the discussions over water issues wound down, Chair Ashton responded to the complaints regarding poor notice. “We’ll do a broad brush,” he told the gathering, indicating that the regional district would make an effort to contact everyone in the community — not just those on the water system — next time an advisory was issued.

Area G Director Angelique Wood and regional district staff found themselves in hot water with Olalla residents over a boil water advisory during the Sept. 8 town hall meeting. Several of the 60-plus community members attending the meeting complained that the regional district’s boil water advisory was late or never provided. Eleven of those in attendance claimed they were made sick as a result of the water. Complaints about the present well system were also rife at the meeting. “People were made ill as a result of the late notice of the boil water advisory — what do we have here, another Walkerton?” asked one agitated resident. “When we were taking water from the creek, no one was ever sick,” commented another resident. “The water tastes like (expletive) now, and people are ill.” Along with Olalla Area G Director Wood was RDOS board chair Dan Ashton and RDOS public works manager Doug French. Wood tabled a number of questions put forward by those present and, along with the other members of the regional district, attempted to answer them. At several points during the meeting, Ashton had to ask audience members to be respectful, as comments took on a personal note and side conversations made listening dif¿cult. “Does anybody here know what they are talking about?” asked one frustrated resident after having questions regarding the history of Olalla’s water system deferred for further research. Public works manager French told those at the meeting that total choliforms had been discovered in the water, prompting the boil water advisory, which took place on Friday, Aug. 10. The timing of the announcement, coming just before the weekend, meant that there wasn’t available staff to go door-to-door to warn residents. In addition, the regional district only

noti¿ed those residents identi¿ed as being on the community water system. There was some confusion in Olalla with respect to who was part of the water system and who wasn’t. In some cases, residents in manufactured home parks were not noti¿ed directly of the boil water advisory, because only the landowner had been told, and that information had not been passed on.

Helping hands needed for Penticton’s Habitat for Humanity

Western News Staff

Habitat for Humanity is offering a chance to learn some new skills and lend a helping hand at the same time. Monday, construction will begin on a rammed

earth wall for their latest project, an energy saving, environmentally friendly home on Huth Avenue in Penticton. A supervisor from Solum Rammed Earth will be on site to oversee the work, but volunteers are needed to help with

the process. Lynn Popoff of Habitat for Humanity South Okanagan said anyone who wants to get ¿rst hand experience with rammed earth is welcome to join the crew. “It’s really labour intensive, so we need lots

of people,” said Popoff. “It’s hard work. The more people we have, then we can spell people off and give others a break. We do have some con¿rmed, but we certainly need more.” Forms are being built for the rammed earth

wall, and Popoff estimates the entire job will take about seven working days to complete. Safety training will be offered on site, with work starting at 8 a.m. on Sept. 17 at 12 Huth Ave., behind Midas MufÀer in Penticton. “Monday will be the ¿rst day that they are actually doing the ramming process,” she said. “They can just do three or four feet at a time, then they have to change the forms.” The project has been underway for two years, as Habitat searched for a recipient family and organized permits and zoning with the City of Penticton. Uncertain spring weather made for a slow start to construction of the home, but Popoff said they are ramping up, and still hope to have it completed before the end of the year, so the recipient Draus family can move in by Christmas. In the meantime, John Draus is working alongside the volunteers, putting in the 500 hours of sweat equity required by Habitat. With that done, and a Habitat mortgage signed for the cost of construction, the project will become home to Draus, his wife April and their two children, Nathan and Chloe. For more information contact Lynn Popoff at 778-476-0609.
