Training session offers potentially lifesaving skills to escape crash in water Mark Brett
Western News Staff
Without training, the magic number for survival when belted in a confined space underwater is only 15 seconds. With that in mind and his own brush with death in a float plane crash, Bryan Webster decided to go into the business of saving lives full time. The accident he was in was on the Fraser River in 1977. Regaining consciousness at the last second, Webster experienced first hand the disorientation and panic of freeing himself (and the pilot) from the darkness of the inverted aircraft just as it slipped beneath the surface. “That was terrifying,” recalled the Aviation Egress Training Systems founder who was at the Penticton Community Centre pool this week for a regular training session. “My nose was going underwater and I got out of my belt and went around the airplane and undid his (pilot’s) belt, and literally as his body came out, the airplane sunk. I watched the wheel go by me as I pulled him out the door.” According to Webster, a veteran commercial pilot of more than 11,000 hours on 35 different aircraft, the 15-second rule relates to time the majority of people must free themselves before going into panic mode. “If they haven’t got their head out the exit by then, that’s when it (panic) hits, it’s immediate, not another 10 seconds, it’s a fraction of a second and then it’s over,” he said. What his program, which includes practical and theory exercises, does, is teach people to first of all remain calm and follow a series of procedures to manage their own escape and possibly help others. And it works. Since starting the Victoria-based company 14 years ago, he estimates the number of lives saved based on the testimonials he’s received to be in the double digits. The letters of thanks have come from people like Jason Crozier of Gillam, Man. who was involved in potentially fatal mishap only last month. “I was the pilot of a float-equipped Cessna 182 that was involved in an accident resulting in being submerged and belted in,” he wrote in a letter to Webster. “I have no doubt in my mind that your training saved my life and the life of my passenger. “He (passenger) was able to open his door and escape. I was still struggling with my door and realized this is what it feels like to drown. I had one last second left in me and somehow made my way out the passenger door. Thank you Bryan.” Over 5,000 people from across Canada have taken the seminar, the vast majority being passengers who regularly fly over water for work, such as government employees. Webster has written a book on the subject and in 2007 received a Transport Canada Aviation Safety Award for his work. Ditching an aircraft in the water, especially in coastal regions and areas with a large number of lakes, is not a rare occurrence. Ironically, at just about the same time Webster was wrapping up his Penticton course, two Lower Mainland men were in a similar predicament.

A commercial pilot by trade, Webster developed the program that is credited with saving multiple lives in accidents involving people belted in overturned aircraft or vehicles.
An instructor and his student were practising landings and takeoffs on Pitt Lake when their aircraft crashed and turned over, trapping the pair underwater. The student was able to escape but the 71-year-old instructor did not and died at the scene. As a result of that accident, Webster has already been contacted by someone about taking the program. The Penticton session also came on the heels of another float plane accident on Okanagan Lake a month ago near Kelowna. In that incident, the pilot was also reportedly practising takeoffs and landings when the crash occurred. He managed to escape and was not seriously injured. According to Webster, at least 15 times a year there are accidents in Canada where aircraft come to rest upside down in water. What compounds the problem in this country, giving it the highest mortality rate in the world for such incidents, is the cold water, making a quick escape even more critical. Perhaps the most important thing people learn apart from the emotional aspect is the sequence of steps to take if they find themselves that situation. “Instinctively most people undo the seat-belt, but they immediately revolve and now they’re totally done,” said the instructor. “They don’t know what’s up or down, they’re lost. And now your heart starts to race and your ability to hold that precious air diminishes rapidly.” With Webster’s program, students are taught to first open the door and remain in touch with the exit point before unbuckling. With practical familiarization, he finds people can often extend the time they need to 30 or 45 seconds.
Penticton lifeguard Graeme Naish had an opportunity to try Webster’s specially designed training equipment and even after only a few minutes instruction was able to quickly free himself from the confined enclosure. “Being flipped upside down disorients you pretty good, especially having the floor above you and trying to find out where you are,” he said afterwards. “But what he teaches sure makes a difference. It’s definitely a life-saving technique.” Seconds can mean the difference between life and death, and Webster feels if he can give people just a little more time than that magic number, he’s done his job.
BRYAN WEBSTER keeps an eye on Graeme Naish as he works to free himself while belted in a seat underwater.

Put to the test — Graham Body drags a 200-pound dummy into motion on saturday during fitness testing for prospective volunteer members of the Penticton Fire Department. twelve new recruits turned out for the event.
No charges have been laid following an investigation into a disturbing video of a Penticton man allegedly biting the head of a rat. “There was a very low chance of conviction for it because none of the witnesses would talk to us. There was no co-operation,� said BCSPCA constable Cathy Woodward. “We had the video, but that was all we had.� The video, which was uploaded to YouTube on March 4 and has since been deleted, was brought to the Edmonton Humane Society’s attention after someone filled out a complaint form they have online for people concerned about how an animal is being treated. In the video, a young man sitting on what appears to be a reptile aquarium is being provoked by others in the room to “do it.� The young man holds the rat in his hand, bartering for how many beers and liquor shots he can get if he bites the head off the rat. He then holds the rat up to the video camera. The rat is then shown put up to the male’s mouth, at this point his head drops down so you can’t see his face and the camera pans to the floor where it appears the head of the rat has fallen. The next shot is of the headless rat lying nearby. “This is very, very unfortunate. Had it been a puppy, people would have viewed it different. Rats are very intelligent, sweet animals but people view them differently,� said Woodward. Initial investigation by the Edmonton Humane Society found the video originated from a Penticton person who posted it. They then alerted Penticton RCMP. “It is horrible because they are not giving the animal dignity and respect, no matter what kind of animal. If it is something that is real, it is very disturbing that someone does this to another living being,� the humane society’s Shawna Randolph previously told the Western News.

Public wary of waterfront changes Kristi Patton Western News Staff
There were no fireworks or heated words exchanged, but a public consultation on Lakeshore Drive was not without passion. “Let’s not change what doesn’t need changing, Change for change’s sake doesn’t make sense. I agree that improvements are needed for the retaining wall and some of the pavers should be redone, but anything other than that isn’t needed,” said Gillian Waterman. “Lakeshore Drive is an iconic part of Penticton, let’s not screw it up.” Others that spoke on Wednesday were contrite and sometimes witty with their comments. Those included Monica Hoffman’s plea as a hard-working younger resident who wants the beach to remain a place for families to use for free, with no pay parking. She referred to some of the concepts that would see pay parking with less stalls as a “millionaire’s dream.” Pat Styles agreed with many of the others who spoke that if there is to be changes, they should be minimal. “This is a beautiful place and the beach is gorgeous. Some of this stuff you have going on here is like putting makeup on a pretty girl, it is unnecessary,” she said. Former mayor Jake Kimberley took a turn at the mike, stating a study in the ‘90s showed one-way traffic on Lakeshore Drive would not work

because it would create a “raceway” around Churchill Avenue, while parallel parking was rejected because it would restrict the number of parking spots and create a safety hazard. He said the retaining wall is in bad condition and recovering it was looked at in the ‘90s, but that would have meant the bicycle path would be lost. “The bicycle path, in my opinion, is very important and I think we
should reflect on Stanley Park to see how beneficial that is. A shared bike and walk path which can be achieved if we build a new retaining wall and take that out to where the present walkway is. I think that needs to be addressed,” said Kimberley. The former mayor also suggested that RVs should not be allowed to park on the beach because it causes a hazard.
As speakers politely took their turns at the mike, abiding by Okanagan College dean and moderator Donna Lomas’s request to remain civil in her opening remarks, it seemed as though the majority of the crowd wanted to leave Lakeshore Drive as it is. A straw vote was suggested by one crowd member and a majority of hands showed they were in favour of
Concept 3. Of the four options, this is the one with the least amount of changes. The concepts weren’t without obvious proponents in the audience. A one-page leaflet was handed out at the doors of the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre with pictures of potholes, dirty catch basins at city streets and unkept trails. It stated the city has no money to clean up these things but can “throw $7.1 million to ruin the tranquil setting of Lakeshore Drive.” Mayor Dan Ashton was quick to kibosh that in his opening statements, saying there is $1.2 million available for capital environmental projects and it is Penticton’s share of the gas tax granted to the RDOS. He said if the design concept chosen is also the most expensive, it would be done in phases and over time. Ashton thanked everyone for taking part in the public consultation and providing important input. He said last winter community stakeholders felt Penticton should focus on being a vibrant, waterfront community. Council decided to make the waterfront a strategic priority because of it. “The waterfront is a community asset for all of us here in this room, those at home and those that visit Penticton. It is important that this project reflect that as much as possible,” said Ashton. A report of comments from the public will be forwarded to city council on Nov. 5 at their regular council meeting.
Postal workers up in arms over route changes Joe Fries Western News Staff
Letter carriers in Penticton are struggling with their newly extended routes, says the posties’ union leader, while inside workers are nervous about what will happen next month when local mail is sent to Vancouver for sorting. On Monday, Canada Post adjusted its Penticton routes to more evenly distribute volume among carriers, said spokesperson John Caines. Routes are based on the volume that can be handled by a worker in an eight-hour day, he explained, which includes the time it takes for that worker to sort the mail, travel to their route
and make deliveries. Caines said customers here shouldn’t notice much of a difference as a result of the adjustments. “It just may mean if you (used to) get your mail at 10 o’clock in the morning, it might come at 11 or 1 (now),” he said. Or later. “I had letter carriers out last night until 7 o’clock delivering mail,” Barb Perry, president of the local branch of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, said Thursday. She said the number of routes in Penticton was reduced by three to 26, and “what they’ve done is they’ve added approximately 100 points
of call to each carrier’s route to make it longer.” Points of call, Perry continued, are houses, offices or anywhere else mail may be dropped, so the extra workload varies by route and “letter carriers are feeling very frustrated right now.” The route reduction also eliminated 2.5 jobs, and although those posties will be given work elsewhere for now, she said, upcoming retirements mean the positions will eventually be lost through attrition. Sortation workers are also in limbo, as local mail from throughout the Southern Interior, including Penticton, will be sent to Vancouver for processing as of Nov. 4. Mail bound for places outside the region is already sorted at that plant.
“This is an internal adjustment for us. It’ll be transparent for our customers,” Caines said, adding Canada Post will still meet its commitment to deliver local mail within two days. “With the highway services going there anyway, we can come back in plenty of time, because there’s lots of capacity at the Vancouver plant.” Perry is skeptical, because turnaround times will be at the mercy of road conditions, which are unpredictable during the winter. She also said Canada Post hasn’t yet told her what will happen to the eight people who work at the sortation plant in Penticton. They do have job guarantees, she noted, but will likely have their shifts juggled.

tural development didn’t realize he would be back in less than a year, celebrating the reopening of the trail after a provincial grant made it possible to upgrade a section of the popular trail. Coupled with a $35,000 investment from the City of Penticton, provincial funding of $138,694 made it possible to complete a 5.5-kilometre section of the trail, from Vancouver Place to Sutherland Road, and connect it to a section of trail upgraded last year. “We actually walked this section of the trail,” said Bennett, adding that the grant was more than an investment in a portion of the trail. “It’s part of the government’s attempt to accomplish a couple of things … to get people outdoors and getting some exercise, working on their physical fitness and hopefully having an effect on their health and on their need to draw from the provincial health system.” The project scope included levelling the trail undulations and upgrading the existing gravel surface to a smoother, more durable surface of recycled asphalt, which significantly enhances accessibility for people with wheelchairs, mobility aids and strollers. The textured surface was also designed to minimize the risk of slip-related injuries, making the trail a more attractive recreation option for people of all ages. “The Kettle Valley Rail Trail is a much-loved community resource and national treasure,”
Steve Kidd/Western News
Bill BeNNett, minister for community, sport and cultural development, looks over the plaque he just unveiled, marking the completion of a 5.5-km upgrade to the KVR trail, from Vancouver Place to Sutherland Avenue.
When you look at the KVR from Penticton all the way to Chute lake, this just enhances the ability to make it go from one end to the other. — Bill Barisoff
said Penticton MLA Bill Barisoff. “With the support from this provincial grant, we’ve made improvements to the trail, providing our residents with an ideal destination for physical activity and making our community a healthier place to live.” Coun. Helena Konanz got on her bike to attend the ceremonial opening, riding up from City Hall to where the trail crosses Naramata Road. The upgrade, she said, has increased the accessibility of the trail. “I used to ride
up there with my children. We would have to stop at Naramata Road, because we couldn’t get over the sandy part,” she said. “We would plan to ride up to that point, then return.” The KVR Trail has successfully transformed a historically significant rail corridor, giving it new life as a connection between communities in the Okanagan Valley. Penticton is a gateway community to the trail, functioning as an important hub where users can
access three different directions of the trail. “When you look at the KVR from Penticton all the way to Chute Lake, this just enhances the ability to make it go from one end to the other,” said Barisoff. “Up ahead, they were going over big rocks and loose sand, so it was tough to ride your bike or even walk.” Mayor Dan Ashton agreed the trail is a phenomenal asset to the city, and that the upgrade couldn’t have been completed without the aid of the province. “The KVR Trail is one of the best-known trails in the province, and this project has made it even easier and safer to enjoy,” said Ashton. “Residents and visitors alike will enjoy our enhanced trail for years to come.”

Festival finances fizzle Creditors getting anxious over money still owed from July’s Rock the Peach festival in Penticton Joe Fries
Western News Staff
Some creditors of a summer music festival in Penticton are worried they will never be paid, and one of them says the city should require a cash bond from the next group it allows to hold such an event. Shortly after the close of the inaugural Rock the Peach festival on July 29, organizers sent letters to creditors asking for a 90-day grace period to pay their bills. Willi Jahnke of iRock Entertainment, a company created to stage the three-day festival, told the Western News in August that six creditors were owed a total of about $100,000. He said organizers lost the $400,000 they put into the event because total attendance was only about a third of the 14,000 people they expected, thanks to stormy weather on opening night. High ticket prices and a muddled mix of musical genres were also cited as audience-limiting factors. Jahnke didn’t respond to phone messages or emails this week, nor did Chris Briere or Carl Nystrom, the two other directors of iRock Entertainment. That has Andy Soltesz worried. His company, ColossoVision Canada, supplied video production services and giant LED screens to the event and is owed about $13,000. Soltesz said Jahnke told him last week that iRock Entertainment will likely go under, leaving its suppliers holding the bag. If it does fold, Allan Stubenvoll will be out about $1,800 his Calgary-based business, Cal-Comm, is owed for rental of 65 two-way radios used by festival staff. Stubenvoll said via email that Nystrom asked that the tab be billed

to his personal credit card following the festival, but the charge was later declined by the credit card company. Stubenvoll said he received the notice asking for 90-days’ grace, but has since been unable to contact anyone involved with iRock Entertainment. At least one band claims it’s had similar problems. Dan Tanner, the booking agent for Good for Grapes, said via email the Surrey-based folk band was paid $750 for an afternoon performance and told a cheque for another $750 would be mailed later; it never arrived. “I have since contacted one member of the festival who now cannot be contacted,” Tanner said. “I find their conduct in this whole situation a disgrace to the festival circuit, and as a community you should not let them put on the festival in 2013 — it’s an embarrassment.” Soltesz said the City of Penticton, which was paid in advance for rental of Kings Park, should ask more of promoters who hope to turn a profit in the community. “It’s getting to a point with some
of these festivals where I think cities… need to start taking a bond from these people because they’re asking suppliers to become the risktakers, which we don’t want to be,” Soltesz said. “We’ve got to start protecting suppliers.” Penticton Mayor Dan Ashton was cool to the idea. “I sympathize sincerely with any individual that has outstanding debt with these folks,” Ashton said. “But you can’t be the guardian to everybody on it. Business is about taking risks.” That goes for Jahnke’s outfit, too. “This gentleman had a track record in Nakusp and got hit with an inclement weekend” in Penticton, Ashton said. “That’s one of the risks.” Soltesz said he didn’t view Rock the Peach as a risky venture because he considered Jahnke a friend and had supplied him for years without issue at the Nakusp Music Fest, which folded following the 2011 edition. “I’ve always known (Jahnke) to be very honest, upfront,” said Soltesz. “He never gave us a reason to believe otherwise.”
Businesses benefit from tax break Steve Kidd Western News Staff
Starting next year, seven Penticton businesses will enjoy five years of tax breaks, thanks to a bylaw the city introduced in 2010 to spur economic development. The economic investment zone bylaw was introduced as a response to the ongoing economic downturn, attempting to stimulate new construction or renovations in the city’s hotel and motel industry, downtown core and manufacturing and industrial areas through a set of incentives. Non-profit, low-income housing and green developments meeting certain criteria were also on the list to receive the incentives. Those incentives include up to a 100 per cent tax relief for a five-year period and reductions in building permit fees as well as development cost charges. However, the tax breaks only kick in upon successful competition of the project. Anthony Haddad, director of development services, presented council with a list of projects that have qualified under the bylaw, ranging from a $150,000 addition to a $1.12 million new building. Tax breaks for the improvements to these properties range from $1,000 annually for a pool addition to $7,000 annually for the construction of an Okanagan Avenue building. In total, the City of Penticton will be discounting the taxes for these seven businesses by
$23,600 each year, for a total of $118,000 over the fiveyear term. “We’ve seen significant investment through these applications,” said Haddad. According to his figures, the total value of all seven projects is almost $3 million. Most of the projects were started earlier, but there were two, Haddad said — a property on Ellis Street and an industrial building on Commercial Way — that were started in 2012 and finished in time to be included in the 2013 economic investment zone bylaw tax breaks. While he didn’t have a record of the total number of jobs created, he described an Okanagan Avenue project as creating “significant employment opportunities.” “I would hazard a guess, over 30 to 40 (jobs) in the businesses, given what we have approved,” said Haddad. Projects that have been completed under the bylaw include a new mixed-use development at 218 Main St, new industrial buildings at 1900 Camrose and on Commercial Way, a renovation to an existing industrial building at 101 Rosetown, a new pool for an existing hotel at 1050 Eckhardt Ave. and a new manufacturing building at 662 Okanagan Ave., as well as internal renovations to a building in the downtown at 146 Ellis St, creating new office space and employees within the downtown.

EDITORIAL
Liberal government finds unwitting ally
I
f one was a conspiracy theorist, one might suggest the B.C. Conservative Party of 2012 is nothing more than a dummy political party created by the B.C. Liberals to lure back disenchanted voters who are not quite ready to cast a ballot for the B.C. NDP. It is as good as any explanation for the dogand-pony political show that continues to play out in front of our eyes, with just seven months until the provincial election. The B.C. Liberals implode and are seen as being done in time for the May 2013 election. The B.C. NDP is the only viable alternative. Along comes a B.C. Conservative Party with some notable names and growing poll numbers. The party lures a B.C. Liberal MLA and all seems on course for the Conservatives to replace the Liberals as the Liberals replaced the Socreds as the Socreds replaced the Conservatives/Liberals in opposition to the NDP/CCF. However, with poor showings in two byelections; with that recruited Liberal MLA not onside with the party leader and deciding to quit the party he had joined only months before; with one of the two byelection candidates jumping to the Liberals only weeks after saying nasty things about them; with a leadership convention resulting in 70 per cent of voting members supporting the leader; with dissidents nonetheless still calling for that leader’s dismissal; with the leader then demanding all traitors to leave by high noon or else; with the leader then jumping into action at high noon by issuing a press release declaring party finances in good shape; WESTERN andPENTICTON with dissidents then announcing their own press conference ... well, such craziness can only be the work of some Machiavellian political machine looking to save itself, can it not? Seriously, there is no possible way such high jinks could be the result of an upstart party actually inadvertently shooting itself in the foot, again and again and again. Is there?

European Union’s Nobel booby prize Maybe they gave the Nobel Peace Prize to the European Union because they couldn’t think of anybody else who wouldn’t embarrass them. Nelson Mandela already has one. So does Aung San Suu Kyi. Even Barack Obama has one, though what for is not exactly clear. They even gave it to Henry Kissinger once, but we probably shouldn’t go into that. So who’s left? We’ll just give it to the European Union. Nobody’ll notice that. But they did notice, and some of them were not amused. “A Nobel prize for the EU at a time Brussels and all of Europe is collapsing in misery? What next? An Oscar for (European Council President Herman) Van Rompuy?” asked Geert Wilders, the Dutch eurosceptic. “Rather than bring peace and harmony, the EU will cause insurgency and violence,” warned Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party (which wants Britain to leave the Union). And France’s leading newspaper, Le Monde, asked on its website: “But who will go to Oslo for the EU to receive the Nobel Peace Prize? As trivial as it may seem, the question raises (the legitimacy) of an entity ... whose institutional stops and starts and lack of democratic representation are regularly criticized.” The EU was an elite project from the start, and policy for the 27-member union is still set most-
Gwynne Dyer
Dyer Straits ly by politicians and officials, not by citizens. So don’t send a Brussels bureaucrat to Oslo to collect the prize. Send some ordinary citizen, chosen by lot, to represent the 500 million citizens of EU countries who don’t even have a vote on most EU decisions. However, don’t throw the baby out with the bath-water. The original purpose of the Nobel Peace Prize was to honour people who worked to put an end to the terrible wars that have repeatedly devastated the European continent (and much of the rest of the world as well) over the past four centuries. The EU has made a major contribution to that task, but that is not its greatest achievement. It has been 67 years since there was a major war in Europe. Indeed, there have been no wars in Europe at all, apart from the various civil wars in the 1990s in for-
mer Yugoslavia (which was not a EU member). More importantly, a war between any of the EU’s member countries is now quite unthinkable. “This started after the (Second World) war — putting together former enemies,” said EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso in an interview with the BBC. “It started with six countries and we are now 27, another one (Croatia) is going to join us next year and more want to come. So the EU is the most important project for peace in terms of transnational, supernational cooperation.” That’s a bit over the top. The United Nations surely has more to do with 67 years in which no great powers have fought each other. So do two generations of American and Soviet officials and politicians who showed great restraint and managed to avoid a nuclear war that would have devastated the whole world. You could even give some credit to nuclear weapons themselves, which forced the great powers to behave more prudently than usual. The great virtue of the European Union, despite its “democratic deficit” at the Brussels level, is that all its member countries must be fully democratic, relatively uncorrupt, and fully observant of civil and human rights. Not only has this prevented some members from backsliding into intolerance and authoritarianism in times
of great stress; it has also been a huge incentive for prospective members to clean up their act. Would Greece, Spain and Portugal all have ended up as full democracies after overthrowing their old dictators, and in the latter two cases as relatively honest ones as well, if not for the changes they had to make to qualify for EU membership? Would the nine ex-communist countries of Central Europe that emerged from the long night of Soviet tyranny in 1989 have created modern civil societies practically overnight without a great deal of aid from the EU? Would they even have bothered, without the incentive of future EU membership? The Nobel Peace Prize is a misnomer. It should actually be the Nobel Democracy and Human Rights Prize. Occasionally it goes to some person or organization whose main purpose is building international peace, but much more often it goes to people like Nelson Mandela, Aung San Suu Kyi, and most recently Liu Xiaobo, whose accomplishment, or at least goal, has been to make their own countries democratic and respectful of human rights. And if that is the real criterion, then the European Union truly does deserve the prize. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

ASK THE DOCTOR
Curb spending on cyclists Recently, Penticton Coun. Andrew Jakubeit publicly proclaimed a plan to promote more bicycle traffic in our area. Perhaps he might contain further promotional zeal after considering the views of two majority groups who feel strongly otherwise. Group A consists of the 90 per cent plus part of the population who do not cycle. This group includes those who resent — but must tolerate — the illegal, offensive and inconsiderate behaviour of far too many cyclists and regard the unceasing demands for evermore expenditures on their behalf as the yelps of a pack of freeloaders. Group B includes the 96 per cent segment of our population who do not own motels, restaurants or bars. Nor do they perform the low-paying menial tasks associated with the enterprise of our much-pampered hospitality sector. The group B 96 per cent pays with inconvenience, delay, taxes and even highway danger to enhance the revenue of the favoured few produced by this cycling promotion flimflam. It is irritating beyond words to the motoring rural residents of the White Lake, Keremeos, Oliver area to hear political demands for rural road improvements for the sole purpose of accommodating these cosmic nuisances. It is also highly insulting to hear parochial politicians call for massively expensive road improvements for one-time, one-day events such as the Gran Fondo, while happily content with the notion that the roads are just fine (which they generally are) for the
Prioritize city spending
It is no wonder Penticton has so much controversy over waterfront enhancement. When looking at the setup of the committee, one sees members for the marina, tennis club, yacht club, SS Sicamous, two councillors of which one is a tennis pro, that does not live in Penticton, a chamber rep and three members of the community. Five committee members constitute a quorum. A simple vote count favours change over prioritization of Penticton’s hard-earned tax dollars. The recent comments of a member of this committee, Coun. Gary Litke, is not a service to the community. We have lots of money for this. Rates are low, we can also borrow, etc. Pardon me? How about prioritizing tax dollars based on need? How about paying down the debt? It seems Gary Litke has been in office so long he has gotten hooked on spending other people’s money. We recently had road work done because our sewer (65 years old, my estimate) was collapsing. I would like an estimate on the total expected costs of needed repairs for all collapsing sewers and road repairs in Penticton for the next 10 years published and released to the public before we embark on any more airy-fairy feel-good projects. This should include all collapsing sewers, not just the ones slated in the budget to fix. All sewers past a certain age must be considered in need of replacing and should be included in this estimate and all related costs such as road resurfacing and repairs. Elvena Slump Penticton
intended purpose of year-round rural motor traffic. It seems needlessly redundant to iterate the already obvious headache of danger and delay engendered by the endless rural ‘training’ on twisting one-lane roads or the blocked one-lane descent of Highway 3A to the Highway 97 junction. It is hairy. But the only acknowledged reality of the situation is the plethora of skid marks into the curves or the sight of vehicles swerving into your lane to avoid collision or “harassment”. In short, local road racing represents a threat to safety. It is also time for cyclists to earn, by proper conduct and actual use, the facilities already provided. In fairness, any future expenditure should be primarily funded by the actual users. As for the inventive spending plans of Penticton politicians, it is time to consider feathering the nests of those other than the already successful hospitality group who obviously exercise considerable political clout. When inventing hare-brained spending schemes, the custodians of our joint account should remember always, that someone, somewhere in B.C., is obliged to work almost two hours to produce the tax revenue to cover each dollar spent. These are hard times. Please spend our money on something other than general inconvenience with little, nil or negative return to the average citizen. John Thomas Kaleden
Rail transport has potential
I have been reading with some interest about the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project, and the controversy against it. It seems strange to me that rail transport doesn’t seem to be considered. We ship coal across southern B.C. to Roberts Bank, and grains across northern B.C. to Prince Rupert, why can’t we ship bitumen across B.C. to Kitimat? It is my understanding that the current pipeline method will require the bitumen to be liquefied with a reclaimable solvent at the mine site in Alberta. Then it is pumped through this pipeline to the coast. Just how much energy will the huge pumps and pipe use? So now we have “the soup” in Kitimat at great expense and concern about leaks. So what now? Just ship it to China. No way. Now the reusable solvent is separated and shipped back to Alberta in a second parallel pipeline. There are so many things that could go wrong, I think we should just simply say “thanks, but no thanks.” I don’t think any amount of money or jobs is worth this risk. So why aren’t we considering rail transport? The bitumen could be shipped intact in rail cars that would probably need some heat to unload. The entire shipping would have jobs and people involved, to report mishaps before they are major. It is still not perfect but you won’t end up with a black lake in our pristine wilderness. Don’t forget the entire project still depends on huge trucks moving the tar sands at the mine site. Carl W. Harris Penticton

Cataract surgery in Nova Scotia is “C” and “D” in Manitoba. Both Manitoba and Nova Scotia have NDP governments.
Laser Hair Removal Laser Hair Removal (LHR) is a safe and effective treatment for permanent hair reduction. LHR is our treatment of choice to permanently reduce unwanted face and/or body hair. When your laser technician activates the Cynosure Apogee Elite laser, it will emit pulses of light. This light will target the melanin (brown pigment) in the hair, destroying them. Since your hair is not all actively growing at the time of treatment, several treatments are necessary to target each new active growth cycle. A typical appointment is usually only 15-30 minutes from start to finish. The laser will not effectively target dormant hair, or latestage growth; thus, a series of approximately six to eight treatments are usually required, with four to six weeks between each treatment. Commonly we see 80% hair reduction depending on the area. LHR is most effective in people with dark hair and fair skin. The lighter the skin and the coarser/darker the hair, the better your results will generally be. Blonde, grey, and red hair do not respond to LHR treatment. LHR cannot be done in areas where the skin is tanned. A tan increases the levels of melanin in the skin and thus increases the risk of unwanted side effects such as burns and skin discoloration. This is why we highly recommend completing your course of LHR treatments in the Fall and Winter months. A complimentary consultation will establish if you are an appropriate candidate for LHR. Discussion will include your health history, genetic background, your expectations, treatment considerations, as well as the benefits and rare but possible risks associated with the procedure. At this time, you will also receive a list of pre and post treatment instructions.

City renames street Vees Drive Steve Kidd Western News Staff
Though there was considerably less discussion than in the excited days immediately following the Penticton Vees national championship run, Penticton council endorsed the plan to rename a street Vees Drive this week. Council endorsed the road name change for the north portion of Railway Street to Vees Drive, as well as setting aside $3,500 to cover the administrative costs for businesses to change their road name, and additional signage erected along Highway 97 with the permission of the Ministry of Transport to identify Vees Drive. The plan came before council in June, not long after the Vees claimed the national championship, as a way to honour both the current team’s record-breaking season and the 1955 world champion Vees as a recommendation from the Heritage and Museum Advisory Committee. Council had hoped to be able to make the change before the start of the Vees season in September, but Anthony Haddad, director of development services, warned there would be considerable consultation, especially with the 18 businesses located in the short block.
Sled dogs to be buried in Penticton Western News Staff
The 56 sled dogs at the heart of a tragic animal cruelty case will be laid to rest on Nov. 2 at the B.C. SPCA’s pet cemetery near Penticton. The discovery of the mass killing at a Whistler-based sled dog tour company in 2011 sparked international outrage and launched the largest animal cruelty investigation in B.C. SPCA history. Last year the B.C. SPCA prepared a file for Crown counsel with more than a thousand pages of evidence against Bob Fawcett, the former general manager of Howling Dog Tours. He pleaded guilty to the charges in August 2012 and will be sentenced in late November.

He says it will still be a few weeks before everything can be arranged. “Now that council has endorsed that road name change, we are working with Canada Post, the businesses that are affected by the road name change and also the Penticton Vees in terms of planning celebrations and figuring out an effective date,” said Haddad. “We want to give the business at least three to four weeks before the road name changes takes place. Canada Post has given a free one year mail redirect for each of the businesses that are effected.” There is more going on than just ordering new street signs and putting them in place. They are also planning things like working with the Vees in terms of putting banners in the streets. “The light standards in those streets are set up for banners, so it is not going to be just the street name, there is going to be a bit more to it, which will form part of the celebration with the Vees at an appropriate time,” said Haddad, adding that the city’s public works department is working on a design for the new street signs. “We want to make them a bit more prominent than the typical road sign,” he said. “In the next couple of weeks, hopefully we will have more to release on that.”
Habitat hosting open house
Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement officer for the B.C. SPCA, said the remains of the animals were handled with the utmost respect during the investigation. “Unfortunately, it was necessary to exhume the bodies from the mass grave in order to gather the forensic evidence needed to submit charges, but we were always very aware of our responsibility to treat the remains of the dogs with great care,” said Moriarty. “This was a heartbreaking case, but now that a guilty plea has been rendered and justice is being served we hope that these beautiful animals can now finally rest in peace.” She said the SPCA chose its pet Western News Staff

OKTOBERFEST rolls out in Penticton on Oct. 27 at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre and Heidelberg Club members Bert Betschart and Lisa Betschart will be there in their lederhosen and dirndl.
Oktoberfest time in Penticton Kristi Patton
Western News Staff
Put on your dirndl or lederhosen and ein prosit — it’s Oktoberfest time in Penticton. If you couldn’t be in Munich for the traditional festival, organizers for the third annual Penticton Oktoberfest hope it will quench your thirst. “Oktoberfest is Bavarian and many years ago it was a wedding celebration, now it is done in Munich and in September. It is usually in a great big beer hall and features music. We are bringing in two bands and German beer straight from Munich this year,” said Barb Scheiderat, chair of the Oktoberfest festival being held on Oct. 27 at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre from 6 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. For those ready to ein prosit (drink up), imported beers Hacker-Pschorr and Pilsner-Urquell will be served. Hacker-Pschoor is an amber beer similar to the brew introduced at the first Munich Oktoberfest in 1810. It is one of only six beers allowed to be served during Munich’s Oktoberfest, as the beers must be brewed within the city limits. Besides the two traditional brews, Penticton’s Cannery Brewing will be at the festival. The microbrewery will serve 360 Lager, Naramata Nut Brown Ale and Apricot Wheat Ale. Along with the traditional food, including Sauerkraut, music is the key ingredients to the party said Schneiderat. Organizers of Penticton’s Oktoberfest have brought in two bands from Vancouver
to ensure the dance floor stays alive. The Beerbarrels are a three-piece Oompa-pa dance band who have been performing professionally for approximately the last 30 years. During Oktoberfest, the Beerbarrels change their presentation style of being a dance band and become more of a show band. They not only play traditional Oompapa music, German drinking songs and get people involved with Oktoberfest antics such as yodeling. The other band performing is Peter Juric and the Continentals who have opened for the Tragically Hip, Jim Byrnes and have given 33 performances at Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom. “The food is going to be as close as you can get, other than actually going to Oktoberfest in Munich. We try to stay authentic with most everything so people can get a real feel and traditional sense of the celebration,” said Schneiderat. “Most of us from the Heidelberg Club will be in traditional outfits and we encourage everyone who comes out to dress up as well and have a good time.” This year Penticton Oktoberfest has teamed up with the Penticton Vees, who happen to have a game on Oct. 27 at the South Okanagan Events Centre at 5 p.m. against the Victoria Grizzlies. Those who go to the game and bring their ticket stub to the door at Oktoberfest will get $5 off their entrance fee. The regular price of tickets is $25 (plus service fees). Volunteers are still needed for the event. To apply visit www.PentictonOktoberfest.ca and fill out the form online.

the Madness is set to release on Oct. 19 with the party being held at Voodoo’s in Penticton. “Follow us Though the Madness has been in the works since last spring and has proven to be a lengthy, uphill process filled with rerecording and pushed deadlines. We are relieved that this project is in its final stage of production, and now we hold a professional album” said manager and co-owner of Mad Melody Records Harley Pyrozyk. Joining will be the entire Mad Melody Records hip-hop crew: MC Bodhi (Robb O’Day), JDK Nonstop (Kyle Keebaugh), P-City (Pat Cassidy), Twojoints (Nathon Flewin), Toxik Emissionz (Seth Murray) and Jay-E (Jesse England). Mad Melody Records dubstep/drum and bass DJ, Stepone (Ryan Alywin) from Noize.fm is servicing as the DJ during the hip-
hop sets, plus he will be the final performer of the night. The 14-track album features at least one song from every artist that is affiliated with Mad Melody Records, including featured tracks from Nanaimo hip-hop artist Sirreal, and Kelowna producer Ceald Fate. Every song is original compositions with the production of the album done by co-owner Robb O’Day, matched with a supreme quality of mixing and mastering done by certified audio engineer and final co-owner Kyle Keebaugh. “We are proud that our first album from Mad Melody Records will have such an amazing quality,” said O’Day. “We set the bar high.” The local record label has planned a few additional special surprises during the event. O’day will blow off the dust from his guitar and have an additional set under his rock band alias,
Based in Space, being his first show since over a year and a half ago. He will be performing all newly recorded original rock/folk songs. Also, long time Mad Melody Records artist Jay-E (Jesse England) will be performing his final performance as Jay-E. England has been working hard these past months to create new music, a new brand and a new persona — all to go with his new name Know n Value. The final surprise was not released until after press deadline and will feature a guest appearance from an old Penticton-based band that has been out of the scene for a couple years. Voodoo’s, located at 67 Nanaimo Ave., will be opening the doors at 7 p.m. for the event with the first artist hitting the stage at 7:30 p.m. This is an all-ages show with the admission by donation.

Symphony opens 53rd season Western News Staff
The Okanagan Symphony Orchestra opens their 53rd season with three outstanding works, each with the capacity to transform the listener. The beauty of nature is the inspiration in each of these works which evoke a full range emotional responses from the lightness of spring which gladdens the heart to the foreboding of a violent storm which sends shivers down the spine followed by the calmness of an evening sunset bringing peace and serenity. The concert opens with a sound scape created by Canadian composer Randolph Peters: Butterfly Wings and Tropical Storms and is followed by the
beautifully poetic Four Last Songs of Richard Strauss performed by Okanagan soprano, Alexandra Babbel. The concert closes with Beethoven’s magnificent tribute to nature, The Pastoral Symphony No.6 in F Major. Join the OSO in Penticton on Saturday, Oct. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the Cleland Theatre and be transformed by the poignancy, mystery and power of this transcendental music. Tickets are available from the Penticton & Wine Country Information Centre, 553 Railway St. or by phone at 250-276-2170 or 1-800-6635052. For additional information on this concert and the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, please visit the website www.okanagansymphony.com.

Quick wit comedy in The Long Weekend Western News Staff
“This is going to be the longest weekend of my life,” grumbles one character in SOAP’s October production of The Long Weekend by Norm Foster. However, the South Okanagan Amateur Players promise this quick-witted comedy will feel anything but long. The script has been described as “mischievous fun” with “doubled over laughs” and “scrumptious plot twists.” “We were literally weeping with laughter when reading through the script for the first time,” said stage manager Patrick Turner. “It was so funny we could barely get the words out.” Norm Foster is Canada’s most prolific and most-performed playwright, often compared to Neil Simon for his smart, crisp dialogue, strong characters, and true-to-life plots. The production, directed by Ted Osborne and Jen Jensen, runs until Oct. 20 at the Cannery Stage in Penticton, and Oct. 26 to 27 at OSS Minitheatre in Osoyoos. Besides five evening performances at 8 p.m.,
Photo Submitted
South Okanagan Amateur Players present The Long Weekend with (right to left) Craig Bjornsen (Roger), Penelope Johnson (Abby), Tom Szalay (Max) and Aimee Grice (Wynn). This photo depicts a previous holiday the couples have spent together in Martinique in the play which is a catalyst for much trouble on their current long weekend holiday at the cottage.
there will be a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday, Oct. 27 in Osoyoos, to encourage Oliver audiences to attend. The Long Weekend’s first act opens with a wealthy couple, Max and Wynn Trueman entertaining Wynn’s best friend Abby and her husband Roger Nash for a weekend at their upscale country retreat. Their warm welcome
quickly turns frosty as old jealousies resurface. Max, a pompous lawyer, can’t resist pointing out Roger’s failure as a writer. Wynn, a therapist, lives in constant dread of designer Abby’s delightfully scathing comments about her taste in fashion and home decor. The hilarity comes in the contrast between their public niceties and private put-downs. The comedy
will resonate with anyone who has ever been a reluctant house guest or has hosted guests who outstay their welcome. The laughs increase as surprising revelations cause the couples to rethink their allegiances. The gloves come off, and the audience is in for a crazy, truth-telling ride. As quickly as one character spills the beans, new secrets are created,
until the final curtain when the last and greatest plot twist is revealed. Along the way are clever one-liners, running gags, and some steamy romance. Starring as the foursome is the strong cast of Tom Szalay (Max), Aimee Grice (Wynn), Penelope Johnson (Abby) and Craig Bjornson (Roger). Tickets for The Long Weekend are $18 for adults and $15 for seniors/students at Your Dollar Store with More (Osoyoos) and Sundance Video (Oliver). Cannery Stage tickets are sold through Dragon’s Den (Front Street, Penticton). Tickets will also be sold at the door subject to seat availability. SOAP reminds this is a play with adult situations and is recommended for 16 and older. For more info contact 250-4983597 or soap@telus.net.

LeafSource Stops Pain Within Days! “It works! I’ll take another two bottles please!” This coming from a customer who had tried every other natural remedy under the sun in the past few years to take away her pain. Ian, the owner of the health food store couldn’t believe his ears. He had finally found the perfect product to stop his customer’s miseries. This is what every owner of a health food store dreams about, a natural product that receives so many outstanding testimonials on such a wide variety of health issues. “I had recommended a new product called LeafSource, which we recently started carrying. We have had tremendous success with this product, and almost everyone we have recommended it to over the last few months has come back and thanked us over and over again” said Ian. Before trying LeafSource, the woman had complained about her ongoing joint pain and was at her wit’s end. Although she had experienced some relief through the
numerous natural remedies she had tried over the years, the pain would never fully go away. “She returned to my store, in tears, less than one week after buying LeafSource. I didn’t know what to make of this woman standing in front of me crying, until she told me that within a few days of taking LeafSource her pain started to disappear and within a week it was completely gone - as if it was never there.” Ian goes on, “This coming from a woman whose painful joints and ongoing sciatica were so bad just one week earlier, that the pain was unbearable but now has completely subsided.”
Why is it so effective? LeafSource is a 100% natural product derived from a proprietary organic mineral composite with over ten years of university research. LeafSource helps regulate the inflammatory process and the body’s ability to repair itself. The vast majority (70-80%) of the population over the age of 50 have joint problems—often called osteoarthritis. This is due to the natural (or unnatural) wear and tear on joint tissue that develops through
the aging process. With joint inflammation, movement is limited and pain can be constant. LeafSource seems to have the ability to help people get their mobility and zest for life back. Millions of people seek treatment for their joint and inflammation problems by resorting to expensive, toxic prescription drugs (i.e. NSAIDs) with multiple side effects. These range from nausea and vomiting to serious intestinal disorders (bleeding, gas, pain) and even kidney and liver failure. Isn’t that too large a price to pay for a little pain relief!? LeafSource is a safe alternative to these destructive antiinflammatory drugs that cause many more problems than they solve. It is safe to take up to six per day with absolutely no side-effects and it doesn’t interfere with any other medications. Controlled experiments and observations have revealed that LeafSource is a potent anti-inflammatory that has been shown to bring a reduction of inflammation and pain within a few days. People notice great results in terms of more energy and less pain by taking anywhere from 2 to 6 capsules/day. Typical maintenance is usually 1 capsule twice daily.
This product get results!
LeafSource is endorsed by
LeafSource is scientifically validated through more than 10 years of research at 4 universities, including the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mercer University. But it’s what LeafSource users are saying that truly demonstrates the products effectiveness: I have had cronic pain for over 15 years and have been going to a chiropractor monthly for pain therapy. I started using LeafSource two months ago and I am amazed at the results. I no longer have tendinitis, carple tunnel or irritable bowel. My arthritis is manageable, all my joints are limber and I’m able to exercise again. My energy levels are up, my nails and hair are stronger and my skin is softer. ~ Debbie

I am pretty stunned what this has done for me in 8 days of taking LeafSource. For 18 years I have tried many many products ...most of them expensive. And most did not work at all. I had been on a mission to find a product that is doing exactly what LeafSource is doing.So here I am on day 9 with 90% of my pain gone. ~ N. W. - Toronto

Shooting club offering up zombies for target practice Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff
Has watching The Walking Dead given you the urge to shoot a zombie? If so, the Penticton Shooting Club is offering the public its chance to kill a few during the second annual Zombie Shoot on Oct. 27. The event is to give the public a place and time to come experience shooting in a safe environment with the added fun of some zombie slaying. Their goal is to push as many people through the safety training and zombie course in order to generate exposure to the shooting sports and club. Dax Kent, an executive with the club and the event co-ordinator, said they attracted 40 people last year. It was organized with little time to promote but the idea sparked interest. Now Kent wants to see it become a two-day event. “The zombie thing is just overwhelming,” he said. “Movies coming out, The Walking Dead has been a huge hit.” This year the targets are made of paper but the plan is to get them made of plaster and plastic foam filled with movie gel blood supplied by Zombie Supply Canada, who is their event sponsor. Kent encourages people to dress up. His hope is to have over 100 shooters come through. “If the zombies do attack, would you be able to defend yourself,” asked Kent. They are also seeking volunteers between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Those interested can contact Kent at dax@iapz. com. For more info visit www.pentictonzombieshoot.ca or www.facebook.com/Pentictonzombieshoot.

Summerland athlete honoured during Hall of Fame gala Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff
Not just anyone receives the Jack Farley Youth Sports Achievement award. It goes to a graduating male and female who demonstrates high athletic ability, leadership, community service and a high academic standing. These students excel in a particular sport and exemplify the values, commitment and contribution to the community held by Jack Farley, an honoured member of the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame and Museum. Summerland’s Claire Boothe was recently honoured during the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame Gala event at the Vancouver Convention Centre. “I was very surprised when I found out that I was receiving the award, and extremely happy and honored,” said Boothe by email as she attends the University of British Columbia to study kinesiology. “This award means a lot to me because it was based on having a balance in academics, athletics and community service instead of just excellence in one aspect of life.” Boothe has trained with the Taneda Karate Dojo for 11 years. She won over 80 karate medals, including three gold and four silver at the world championship level. Boothe is also an eight-time provincial champion. She recently
brought home the 2012 Karate Canada nationals gold medal for her age and weight category and I love helping earned a spot on Team Canada. In children and August, she represented Canada at the Junior Pan-American Ka- being able to rate Championships in Cancun, teach and Mexico. While training, Boothe made time to instruct children’s inspire them karate classes, act as a certified just as I was Karate BC regional judge, coach dojo members at local zone and when I was provincial levels, co-captain the their age.

She has — Claire Boothe also been involved with the SSS Leadership projects from 20092012, the Get Active Marathon civic action project, Breakfast Club fundraising and participating in the Me-to-We Club as a student advocate. “I am involved in a lot of community events because I feel as if giving back to the society that has helped me grow into who I am today is the least I can do,” wrote
Boothe. “I love helping children and being able to teach and inspire them just as I was when I was their age.” Boothe added she has worked hard to keep a balance between the activities and groups she’s involved with. She didn’t want one area to become inferior for the sake of another. She’s also grateful to her coaches (Sensei Chris Taneda, Senpai Cheryl Taneda and Senpai Mike Ditson) and teachers that have helped her get to where she is. During a special reception, Boothe was presented with her award and $2,000 scholarship. “The BC Sports Hall of Fame logo includes the words Honouring the Past, Inspiring the Future,” said Jean Boothe, Claire’s mother. “A highlight of the evening was when Claire had the opportunity to sit down and talk with 92-year-old inductee Barbara Howard. In 1938 at the age of 17, Howard represented Canada at the 1938 British Empire Games in Sydney, Australia. The two athletes sat together and shared their appreciation and respect for one another. In doing so, they were honouring the past and inspiring the future.” “It was humbling to be invited to an event where such distinguished athletes and dignitaries were also receiving award and being inducted into the Hall of Fame,” said Claire. “I met some incredible people and found new inspiration.”

NANAIMO CLIPPERS GOALIE Jayson Argue denied Penticton Vees forward Brad McClure on this chance. Following a 4-2 loss against the Clippers on Sunday, the Vees are looking to net a win in Salmon Arm on Friday.
Vees looking to take down SilverBacks Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff
Taking the Salmon Arm SilverBacks lightly won’t be happening for the Penticton Vees. Wade Murphy, the Vees assistant captain, said the SilverBacks, with four wins in 11 games, have improved under their new coach Scott Robinson. “They will be better than the last game we played them,” said Murphy, referring to the Vees’ 5-0 victory on Sept. 21. “Use speed and we will be fine.” Murphy, tied for the league lead with 20 points, knows the SilverBacks will be ready. “They are hard to play against, a good defensive team, good goalie in (Adam) Clark, tough to score against them,” he said. “ They like to get under your skin.” It doesn’t help that the Shaw Centre is no picnic to play in. “They have pretty good fans,” said Murphy. “Quite rowdy in there actually. It’s pretty difficult there.” Understanding the challenge of facing them falls in place with the importance Vees coach-GM Fred Harbinson is placing on it. He said it’s an important game because of their recent 4-2 loss to Nanaimo. “We need to find a way to get back to feeling good about ourselves,” said Harbinson. “We had a good weekend last weekend as far as the way we played. Unfortunately, we got three of six points.” Harbinson wants to see a similar performance in the Shaw Centre as last time. He knows the SilverBacks roster is improved with a veteran presence. “Points in (same) divisions are always tough to come by,” he said. Harbinson said the keys for his team will be managing the puck well and not having mental lapses. As Harbinson put it, any mistake made can be costly. The Vees will play one more game on the road against the West Kelowna Warriors on Tuesday, at 11 a.m., before hosting the Warriors on Oct. 26 and Victoria on Oct. 27. The West Kelowna game has an earlier start

The camp will be held from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1 at Hockey Canada headquarters in Calgary. “We are very proud to have five players selected for the Canada West selection camp.

Adidas, Soccer Express and the South Okanagan Youth Soccer Association are keeping their partnership intact. Having already worked together for five years, the trio had no hesitation in continuing what they have done. SOYSA benefits by receiving money to use towards uniforms from Adidas at a reduced rate. The intention is trying to bring an international flavor and give kids a great experience. The partnership is expanding by offering a virtual
store that will provide Adidas apparel through Soccer Express. Brad Leitch, owner of Soccer Express, has been providing the organization with uniform kits. With this avenue available, Leitch, a Pinnacles alumnus, said this option will help them see the game grow. SOYSA is excited about the virtual store. “It gives our membership opportunities to buy high-end products,” said chairman of SOYSA Tony Patrocinio, adding that they get a percentage of all sales through the website. Patrocinio said the money will
then go back to the programs and academies. It can also be used for coaching, as well as getting uniforms and balls. To Patrocinio, the partnership has been great. “They have come on board from the start,” he said. “It has worked well.” Lorne Loiselle, territory manager, sales and marketing for Adidas, said they look for quality partners with passion and vision to create a culture of soccer. Adidas supports the grass roots level by offering international travelling programs.

Efforts of Okanagan Falls horse breeder rewarded Western News Staff
Breeding horses since 1972, Okanagan breeder and veterinarian Dr. David Ward’s efforts have been recognized. In late August, Ward received news that two of his horses placed in the top four of the Tevis Cup, an internationally known horse endurance race that takes place annually in Auburn, Calif. The Tevis Cup is considered to be the toughest endurance race in North America. The ride is 100 miles, must be completed within 24 hours and is a challenging test of the human/equine team. This year, only 98 horses completed the race. In order to participate in an endurance race, it is not enough just to be the fastest. The horses are inspected at regular intervals to gauge their level of fitness and soundness. “I am thrilled with the recent results of these two horses and their riders,” said Ward in a press release. “Well done and it is very rewarding to see horses out there doing it that have Fairview bred horses in their pedigree. It certainly makes all the past years of hard work worthwhile.” Ward credits the insight of the breeders that came before him for his success. The horses of Fairview Arabian stud have contributed to breeding programs around the world, most recently in Australia and South Africa. “I have long been in awe of Dr. Ward’s breed-

ing program,” said Kevin Myers, owner and rider of Auli Farwa. “Far now has 44 starts and 44 completions, including nine 100mile events. His perfect record speaks for itself, but what makes this horse even more exceptional is his love of people and his love of the journey. He is the benchmark; the ultimate horse.” The CMK Arabian
has a heritage based on the breeding programs of three major breeders, Crabbet, Maynesboro and Kellogg all of whom were dedicated breeders striving for specific qualities in the Purebred Arabian Horse. CMK Arabians excel at endurance, trail, sport horse events and for pleasure riding and as companion horses.
Local atom teams ready to shine in tournament Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff
Action is expected to be good during the atom A and B development hockey tournament this weekend. Fifteen teams, including Penticton Game Time and Penticton Speedway, will hit the ice at Memorial and McLaren Arena, the South Okanagan Events Centre and the Okanagan Hockey School rink. Brad Heintz, coach of Penticton Speedway, only wants to see his players work hard and have fun. He admits it’s better to win than lose, but said this is about the players developing their skills. “Right now we’re working on positional play with the kids and passing,” said Heintz. “I look at the tournament as a good way to do that. We get four games in three days, it’s a great learning opportunity.” Heintz laughed when asked if he hopes to see the players do as they have been shown. “We certainly hope so,” he said. “From what I have seen they are improving quite a bit. I’m loving what I see so far. This is
such a great age to watch the improvements through the season.” Imri Togyi, coach of Penticton Game Time, said his team is excited to meet the stronger, bigger organizations. “We expect to see a good level of competition from a number of teams represented from the southern part of the province,” said Togyi. “I know our other team is very excited. It’s a chance to showcase what we have been able to do so far.” Heintz added he hopes people will come out to watch. He said people can expect to find great raffle tables, one which will be drawing an iPad. Among the teams playing will be Salmon Arm, Spokane, Kelowna Legends, Kelowna Capitals, Kamloops, Trail, Semiahmoo, Arbutus, Revelstoke, South Okanagan, Summerland and Burnaby Winter Club. The B division features six teams. Penticton Game Time opens the tournament with a game Friday against Salmon Arm in Memorial Arena at 5 p.m. Speedway has their first game against Summerland at McLaren Arena at 5:15 p.m. that evening.

Topflight training in Penticton Mark Brett
Western News Staff
While the product hasn’t changed, the face of the Canadian Helicopters flight training facility at the Penticton Regional Airport definitely has. And so has the name. Rebranded as HNZ Topflight, company officials have recently been showing off the new digs to others including a showcase event for staff and managers from across the country and last week’s grand opening. Several months ago the business moved out of its 2,500-square-foot cramped quarters into a $5 million, state-of-the-art building which checks in at just over 20,000 square feet. No one could be prouder, or happier, than Jan Rustad, who has worked at the school for 35 years. “It’s a dream come true,” said Rustad, chief flight instructor and the firm’s business development manager. “I always had this dream to push the school to new heights and to be able to eventually have it developed to its current state is tremendous. “We are recognized internationally as a world-class school and essentially we were working out of a third-class facility. It just wasn’t keeping up with the reputation of the school and now we have a world-class building. It’s beautiful and we love it. I’m totally
elated.” Staff includes six flight instructors, three engineers and several clerical workers. The helicopter fleet is usually six aircraft, all of which can now be housed inside the much larger hanger space. “Just to be able to keep these machines, which cost from $1 to 2 million each, out of the elements, the sun, wind, rain and cold is very important,” said the manager. Under Rustad, Canadian has built up a reputation as one of, if not the best, mountainflying training facilities in the world. That is evidenced not only in the numbers of clients — several hundred experienced pilots come here annually for training and upgrades — but the agencies they represent. Military, police and search and rescue flyers are among the major customers, all of who work in the some of the most extreme conditions on the planet.
Katie Bowling, Penticton
“What we teach here are life-saving skills, helping those aviators fly safer and that to me is what we’re all about,” said Rustad. While the numbers are not only good for the company, the manager points out it is also a very positive thing for the local economy. “We bring lots of people here each year and we certainly support the community in the hip part of the season in terms of hotel man-nights, goods and services, restaurants and other things,” said Rustad. “There are also a considerable amount of landings and takeoffs at the airport which means more revenue here.” The new facility includes classrooms, boardrooms, pilot lounge, library, study areas, flight planning and debriefing rooms. The centre also uses the latest in technology, including a state-of-the-art geothermal heating and cooling system. Topflight was named among the 31 finalists for the Re/MAX Thompson Okanagan Commercial Building Awards which were scheduled to be announced Thursday night in Kelowna. “This facility cost a lot of money,” said Rustad. “It’s just been such a huge change for us on the positive side and we’re hyped and excited. “We can now meet and greet with our customers and feel that we’re the world-class school we have the reputation of being.”
