CHIEF WINS RE-ELECTION

NEWS PENTICTON WESTERN

Penticton Indian Band gives Jonathan Kruger a mandate for a second term Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Chief Jonathan Kruger will retain the title for another four years, after winning the Penticton Indian Band’s election on Wednesday for the top spot on their council. “I won very decisively,” said Kruger, who received 143 votes out of the 295 votes cast. “It’s an honour and a privilege to continue to serve the Penticton Indian Band as chief.” The strong vote in his favour, he said, was an endorsement by the PIB community of the direction council has taken over the last four years. “This does give me conﬁdence that we are going in the right direction,” said Kruger. “I am just very grateful to see all the things we are accomplishing and are continuing to gain more ground and great things for the children and our land and future generations.” Joe Johnson received the next highest number of votes, with 84, followed by Laurie Wilson, 35; Lavern Jack, 17 and Joseph Pierre, 16. This election contained several ﬁrsts for the band, said Kruger, including the use of social media to help inform community members and a webcast of the all-candidates forum last week. “Our community really wanted to engage other band members through the technology,” he said, adding that he felt they were successful in encouraging more band members to participate in the discussion. “I am very proud of our community mem-

bers for stepping up and engaging in this election.” “I am very proud of John. We’re proud of his determination to be chief,” said Wilson, who is currently a council member and plans to put herself forward again for that position at the nomination meeting on Oct. 30. “I am really grateful for the conﬁdence that was shown in all of us.” However, Wilson would have liked to have seen a better turnout at the poll. The PIB has about 1,000 members, 730 of which were eligible to vote.

“So we had less the 50 per cent of votes. We really have to do something to make that more representative,” said Wilson, noting that the Osoyoos Indian Band gets 98 per cent turnout at the polls. “We have to get a hold of them and ﬁnd out what they do. We have to ﬁgure out a way to engage those members.” But Wilson said running for chief was an educational experience for herself and the other candidates. “We were really surprised at what we learned and pleasantly surprised at how positive it all was,” said Wilson, adding that she hopes to see familiar

faces after the elections for councillor in November. “We’ve got some really good momentum going with the council; I am hoping the council will remain stable.” “We have such strong families, which makes us a strong community. We have done a lot of great things in the past four years and we are going to continue to do great things,” said Kruger, listing off projects like the long-awaited ﬁsh hatchery and a health centre. Land planning and more economic development, he continued, are also on the list. “It’s been quite the journey for

economic development, but we are doing things in a very good way,” said Kruger, adding that the PIB council has been working to build agreement with the band’s locatee landowners. “It’s been a huge change. We are all finding value in moving forward in economic development, where we need to rely on each other for the growth and good of all,” said Kruger. “If it is going to benefit the locatees, it’s going to benefit the band. It’s going to benefit the City of Penticton, it’s going to benefit this whole South Okanagan region for jobs.” Kruger, who served two terms as councillor before being elected as chief in 2008, said his first four years as chief were educational as well. “I learned that you have to work for your community members and you have to be there for your other communities in the Okanagan Nation. You have to work with the seven communities within the Okanagan Nation (Alliance),” said Kruger, listing the provincial and national levels he has to work with, as well as the many levels of government, provincial and federal ministries to deal with. “You have to be really critical in your time management, because you still have to get back to your constituents in the PIB, but you still have to cover all those other bases,” said Kruger. “It’s definitely opened my eyes up on the responsibilities of being a chief.” “The one thing I see standing out from a lot of the comments is that there needs to be more opportunities, more jobs,” he said. “That is something that it doesn’t matter where you are from, anywhere in the South Okanagan, people are wanting more jobs, more opportunities. I believe we can be a solution for that.”

Couple at home in house of horrors Mark Brett

Western News Staff

Enter, if you dare. After several minutes of knocking, the muffled sounds of someone moving can be heard inside the small white house at 796 Eckhardt Ave. East. No lights can be seen through the covered windows, and when the door opens slightly, only a pair of shaded eyes are visible. “Stay, back,” is the terse command from the man opening the door as he looks at someone or something behind him. “Oh, sorry,” he says turning back towards the entry way. “That’s, uh, well, it’s our dog, just started obedience training, you know? I’ll be right out.” The door slams shut. Looking around the yard, the first thing that catches the eye is the tiny cemetery in the northwest corner of the front yard. But the tombstones, scattered bones and rats are not the only things that seem out of place. There is a human form covered in cobwebs and wrapped in a red, stained sheet hanging from a noose in a nearby tree. There’s also what’s left of Mr. Bones, whose intact head and hands are still locked in the wooden pillory (often referred to as the stocks). But behind him are only the severed arms and his fleshless spine which moves rhythmically back and forth like a snake’s tail. At this point the hooded host emerges from the building. “Laflamme is my name, like the fire,” he says with a laugh, extending a hand that is surprisingly cool to the touch. “Erik.” Now it’s time for the tour of the really scary stuff: the people, animals and spirits which haunt the darkened outbuildings. This is where the large arachnids, much more lively than their outside counterparts, skeletons and other upwardly mobile creatures do not rest in peace on these cool fall nights. Over the years Laflamme and wife Lisa have put together the ultimate, ghoulish exhibition to celebrate their favourite season. Their passion for “scaring the bejesus” out of people is so strong, Halloween is obviously in their blood. “I guess it’s kind of a sickness and I admit a little warped, but it is just so much fun to see the reactions of people,” said Laflamme, who opens the doors to the public tonight at 6:30 p.m. “Especially when you get thanks from the parents for scaring the crap out of their children. “It’s like a roller coaster ride, it’s an adrenaline rush, and people keep coming back and getting in line to do it again.” Halloween has been so much a part of their lives, when they

Erik LafLaMME does some touch-up work inside his chamber of horrors this week in preparation for tonight’s opening and guided tours. Visitors to his unique exhibition (not for the young or faint of heart) are sure to be put in the mood of the season. it will also be open Saturday night, and of course, Halloween from about 6:30 p.m. on.

decided to tie the “knot,” Oct. 31 seemed the perfect day. The costumed wedding was in Chilliwack at Reaper’s Haunted Attraction, and the service was conducted by the Grim Reaper. While most enjoyed it, Erik recalled there were several relatives who were unable to attend for one reason or another. “We just thought it would be the perfect thing to do, and a lot of fun too,” said Lisa. This is the first year in Penticton for their display and Erik is already anticipating complaints from the neighbours. Not because of the noise of chainsaws, the hideous laughter or screams of terror, but rather: “The cost of candy,” he said. “Everyone finds that their candy bill just goes way up when we move in next door.”

Set-up takes several days, and many of the items, including the full-size coffin which doubles as a bookcase in the off season, don’t ever get put away. Erik is not easily frightened himself and always “appreciates” anyone who can pull it off. “The one thing I don’t like is the gratuitous violence, the cutting stuff and torture,” he said. “I think that is a bit of overkill, I mean I have a little bit of that going on but it’s more the fun stuff.” According to the host, the tours are not for young children and visitors are advised strobe lighting is also used. Along with tonight’s session, there will be another Saturday evening and — of course — Halloween night.

Penticton men swept up in gun trafficking bust Kristi Patton Western News Staff

Two Penticton men were arrested, and subsequently released, for their alleged involvement in an international gun trafficking ring. “One was arrested after officers stopped him, and a man he was with, in a vehicle, with officers finding seven firearms and prohibited

firearms-related devices including a silencer in the car,” said Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of B.C. Chief Officer Dan Malo, at a press conference in Vancouver on Thursday. Maureen Guylas, media liaison for the CFSEU-BC, confirmed two Penticton men were arrested but no formal charges have been laid yet so their names cannot be released.

The gun trafficking investigation is continuing and Malo said they expect further charges to be laid. Vernon man, Riley Stewart Kotz, 32, was a primary target formally arrested on Oct. 19 and charged with 34 firearms related offences. Malo said Kotz allegedly tried to pull out a handgun hidden in his clothing in an effort to disarm two of the arresting officers before he was able to be handcuffed. Simultaneous to

this arrest and the Penticton arrests, warrants were executed in Pace, Florida where a woman associated with the suspect was arrested. Officers searched houses in the 400 block of Bennett Street and 2000 block of Sandstone Crescent in Penticton, a storage locker in the 9900 block of Victoria South Road in Summerland and a home in Vernon. From these properties they seized close to 40 firearms.

Overcoming the language barrier Joe Fries Western News Staff

Upkar Grewal is part of the city’s 11 per cent club. She’s among that slice of Penticton residents, 3,625 people in all, recorded in a fresh batch of Census 2011 data whose native language is not English or French. Grewal is also one of 640 locals who reported Punjabi as their language of choice “Punjabi is more comfortable,” she explained. The 33-year-old, who’s employed as a settlement worker for South Okanagan Immigrant and Community Services, also speaks Hindi and English, the language in which she

received her education in India. Grewal immigrated to Canada in December 2009 and said it’s the language she uses at home to communicate with her extended family. “Since it’s our mother tongue, we’re more expressive in Punjabi,” she said. Punjabi is also the second most commonly spoken non-official language in Penticton, according to the new census data. Top spot belongs to German, which the census found was the mother tongue of 870 people here. Portuguese (250), Dutch (215) and Ukrainian (140) rounded out the top five. Eighty-six per cent of Penticton residents, a total of 27,805, reported English as their first language in 2011, up from 83 per cent in 2006.

Meanwhile, those who prefer French numbered just 570 and accounted for 1.7 per cent of the city’s population, down from 1.8 per cent in 2006. In total, Penticton residents reported they spoke 82 different languages. Punjabi remains the most common mother tongue among Canadian immigrants. A total of 460,000 people, or 1.4 per cent of the country’s total population, selected it as their first language on the census form. For Grewal, it’s also important that her Canadian-born children learn it so they can connect with their relatives and culture in India. “If my children don’t know any Punjabi at all,” she said, “they will not be able to converse with any of my family members.”

Telethon brings smiles to faces Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

A fearless performer and a para Pan Am Games swimmer are just some of the inspiring children Judy Sentes has seen pass through the doors of OSNS over her 20 years. After years of tireless efforts of raising funds for the Okanagan Similkameen Neurological Society Child Development Centre, the executive director said this Sunday’s OSNS Share-A-Smile telethon will be her last, and she hopes the biggest so far. The telethon, hosted by Mike Roberts, runs from noon to 9 p.m. on Shaw TV. “The friendships, the partnerships have been truly phenomenal. The generosity people have continues to overwhelm me. They hear about the need and they respond,” said Sentes. “These children are our future and it really is important that we give them all of the support and intervention we can so that they can be the best they can be.” This will be the 33rd anniversary for the telethon raising funds for the OSNS. Sentes recalls when she first started they were raising $85,000, she said now they raise upwards of $300,000. A huge amount for one of the smallest independently run child development centres in the province to raise. Sentes said out of all the provincial centres, OSNS raises the most money per capita. While the centre is small, the area it covers is not. They help kids from Summerland to Osoyoos across to Princeton and up to Tulameen. “If the fundraising is not successful the only option we have is to reduce services, that is why this weekend is so critical,” said Sentes.

Mark Brett/Western News

ExEcuTivE dirEcTor Judy Sentes of the oSNS child development centre and Wyatt Shuttleworth share a laugh at the facility this week. The centre is hosting its annual fundraising telethon Sunday.

“There is no way I could do what has been accomplished by myself. We have such great partnerships with the communities. Penticton has such a historical philanthropic attitude.” There is no doubt of the centre’s success since it opened its doors in 1978. Sentes said she is still amazed when she runs into the successful young adults that she remembers as toddlers. Beamer Wigley is one of those. As a baby he was diagnosed with a developmental delay in his speech. Just last summer the nine-year-old stood before a crowd at the PNE in Vancouver singing and playing his guitar, winning first place in his category at the Star Showdown. Wigley worked with an OSNS speech therapist as a toddler to help him get past his issues. “I tell you when we watch him up there on stage now he is a very well-spoken child and when you talk to him it is like talking to a much older person. I feel quite confident that without their help and intervention it wouldn’t have moved

along as quickly as it did,” said Beamer’s mother Heather Wigley. “When you see him up there singing and performing you would never know this was the same little boy.” Accomplished Penticton swimmer Andrew Cooke’s parents feel much the same way about the OSNS. He was diagnosed at eight months old with cerebral palsy and began attending OSNS shortly after to work on his physical abilities. Now in his early 20s, he competed at the 2011 Para Pan-American games in Guadalajara, Mexico. “We were advised at one time there was a potential he would never walk,” said his father, Craig Cooke. “Our goal was to have him develop into a very prominent part of the community. We had no idea he would turn out to be this international athlete.” Andrew attended the Canadian Olympic trials last June and he is looking forward to competing in the Can-Am games in the U.S. in the spring. His goal is to be a paralympian for the 2016 Olympics in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. It has been stories like

these that have kept Sentes working for so long. She expects her position will be filled sometime in 2013, although she has agreed to stay on and help in the transition. “It’s time, new people bring fresh ideas, fresh strategies. It has been a difficult decision for me because I have been there so long. I truly am going to miss all the families, their courage and strength as they partner with OSNS in the services we deliver. It is just amazing to me all the accomplishments that have been made.” Donations will be accepted by phone during Sunday’s telethon by calling 250-492-0295 or 1-866-492-0295 or on their website www.osns. org. The IGA Marketplace in Penticton and Summerland will be collecting donations at their tills until Saturday and the Shell gas station on Government Street will be donating two cents on every litre of gas they sell on Saturday and Sunday. OSNS staff will also be at Cherry Lane shopping centre on Friday with Chatters Salon who will be offering haircuts for a $10 donation.

Though there were several interested, when the nomination period closed for the Penticton NDP constituency over the weekend, only two candidates chose to put their names forward. “We had two people who were still considering, but they declined to run at the 11th hour,” said Jeanette Wood, the local NDP riding president. “We have our remaining candidates, David Finnis and Dick Cannings.” “There is going to be a lot of work to do and we’ve two excellent nominees, and either one of them would make a great candidate and social contestant to take the riding,” said Wood. Party members will make the choice between Cannings and Finnis on Nov. 18 in a meeting at the Shatford Centre. “It’s going to be an open race, it’s going to be exciting,” said Wood. NDP leader Adrian Dix, who visited the riding this week, isn’t

Ashton’s current prominence can sway the voters. “I welcome Dan as well. This isn’t personal, I like Dan too. The reality is there isn’t an incumbent in the seat. That ensures it will be an open seat,” said Dix. “We won this seat in 1991, the last time we went from opposition to government. I think we’ve got a great chance here. We’re going to be making a big, big effort here.” As well known as Ashton is, Wood said both the NDP candidates have equal name recognition. “Dan is very well known and certainly with his position as mayor and regional district chair and before that as councillor, he’s got a good background and a lot of people supporting him, but so have either one of our guys,” said Wood. Finnis is a former Summerland councillor, while Cannings is a well-known naturalist and author, with a series of books to his credit. Dix points out that in the results of the last election, the NDP and the Green Party got more

ers, but I like our chances,” said Dix. “I think our candidates are going to have real appeal in this region.” Dix went on to say that the candidate, whichever is chosen, will have to make his case door to door, just as Ashton will. But he thinks people in the Okanagan ridings want to see some competitive politics. “I think that if there isn’t alternatives, you get arrogance. It’s not anything the MLAs do themselves, it’s just the Liberals take these seats for granted, they see them as being in their column,” said Dix. “I am not conceding any seat in the whole region. We are looking to take the majority of the seats in the region.” Registration for the NDP nomination meeting — voters must be an NDP party member for more than 90 days — begins at 12:45 p.m. on Nov. 18 and remains open until the nominees have completed their speeches. Then, said Wood, the doors will be sealed and all members who are present will be able to cast their ballot.

GUNS - tip leads to undercover operation Acting on a tip, the 10-month investigation began with undercover police officers purchasing numerous guns and accessories off of Craigslist that are illegal in Canada. These included magazines modified to increase their capacity, handguns, machine guns that were re-engineered and some that were made into fully automatic firearms. Malo said it is believed some of the guns and magazines were purchased in the U.S. and smuggled into Canada by driving them across the border to be sold to the highest bidder. He said most likely the seized guns would have ended up in the hands of gangsters, some who would pay up to $4,500 for

them. CFSEU-BC recovered approximately 80 firearms, over-capacity magazines and thousands of rounds of ammunition during the investigation which involved multiple agencies and spanned Florida, Montana and Louisiana as well as several communities in B.C. including Penticton, Summerland and Vernon. “In the hands of untrained individuals, guns like the ones seized are highly uncontrollable and there is a significant risk for collateral damage should they be used,” said Insp. Jim Cunningham with the RCMP’s national weapons enforcement support team, who assisted the CFSEU-BC in the investigation.

EDITORIAL

Modern-day heroes getting harder to find

t hasn’t been a good year for heroes. Especially for those whose revered accomplishments have come in sports. A beloved football coach was implicated for his role in a sex-abuse scandal by one of his underlings. A renowned golfer continued to struggle his way back from his own admitted indiscretions that have derailed his career for more than two years. And there have been the usual assortment of bad behaviour and insolence that are often followed by tearful apologies at hastily-called press conferences. On Monday, one of the biggest heroes of all hit the ground with a resounding thud. Lance Armstrong’s story of overcoming testicular cancer that had spread throughout his body to win the Tour de France cycling race seven times transcended his sport. It touched the lives of millions around the world facing their own difficult struggle with the disease. It gave them hope. It fueled the resurgence in cycling for health and fitness, sparked charity events like the Ride to Conquer Cancer. But as cycling’s international governing body affirmed on Monday, it was all built on lies. Armstrong cheated. He used performance enhancing drugs to achieve his remarkable athletic success. He bullied and enabled those around him to do the same. Aside from the black mark Armstrong has tarred upon his sport, he’s betrayed the hope and inspiration many took from his story. And he’s carved anotherWESTERN sizable notch in the notion that PENTICTON athletes are role models, people to be admired and emulated, an example for young people. Perhaps it’s time we look for our heroes closer to home, to the people who touch us every day, who live their lives with integrity and honour instead of athletic glory and sponsorship riches. We might be pleasantly surprised.

The other Cuban Missile Crisis This month is the 50th anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis (Oct. 16-28, 1962), so we’re going to hear a great deal about the weeks when the world almost died. But the past is a foreign country, a place where everything was in black-and-white and men still wore hats, so it’s just scary stories about a long-gone time. Or so it seems. The outlines of the tale are well known. It was 17 years since the United States had used nuclear weapons on Japan, and the Soviet Union now had them, too. Lots of them: the American and Soviet arsenals included some 30,000 nuclear weapons, and not all of them were carried by bombers any more. Some were mounted on rockets that could reach their targets in the other country in half an hour. At the start of the 1960s, Moscow had gained a new communist ally in Fidel Castro, but the United States kept talking about invading Cuba. So Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev moved some nuclear-tipped missiles to Cuba to deter the United States from attacking the island. However, from Cuba the Soviet missiles would be only ﬁve minutes away from their American targets. That caused panic in Washington. Early in October 1962, the ﬁrst Soviet SS-4 missiles arrived

Gwynne Dyer

Dyer Straits in Cuba, and American U-2 spy planes discovered them almost at once. President John F. Kennedy knew about them by Oct. 16, but he did not go on television and warn the American public of the risk of nuclear war until the 22nd. He then declared a naval blockade of Cuba, saying that he would stop Soviet ships carrying further missiles from reaching Cuba by force if necessary. That would mean war, and probably nuclear war, but at least the blockade gave the Russians some time to think before the shooting started. The Soviet leaders were now desperately looking for a way out of the crisis they had created. After a few harrowing days a deal was done: the Soviet SS-4 missiles would be withdrawn from

Cuba in return for a public promise by the United States not to invade Cuba. The crisis was ofﬁcially over by Oct. 28, and everybody breathed a sigh of relief. It was closest the world ever came to an all-out nuclear war. What almost nobody knew until very recently is that the crisis did not really end on Oct. 28. A new book by Sergo Mikoyan, The Soviet Cuban Missile Crisis: Castro, Mikoyan, Kennedy, Khrushchev, and the Missiles of November, reveals that it continued all the way through November. U.S. intelligence was unaware that along with the SS-4s, the Soviet Union had also sent more than a hundred shorter-range “tactical” nuclear missiles to Cuba. They weren’t mentioned in the Soviet-U.S. agreement on withdrawing the SS-4s from Cuba, so technically Khrushchev had not promised to remove them. Fidel Castro was in a rage about having been abandoned by his Soviet allies, so to mollify him, Khrushchev decided to let him keep the tactical missiles. It was crazy: giving Fidel Castro a hundred nuclear weapons was a recipe for a new and even bigger crisis in a year or two. Khrushchev’s deputy, Anastas Mikoyan, who was sent to Cuba to tell Castro the happy news, quickly real-

ized that he must not have them. The second half of the crisis, invisible to Americans, was Mikoyan’s month-long struggle to pry Castro’s ﬁngers off the hundred tactical nuclear missiles. In the end, he only succeeded by telling Castro that an unpublished (and in fact non-existent) law forbade the transfer of Soviet nuclear weapons to a foreign country. In December, they were ﬁnally crated up and sent home. So it all ended happily, in one sense — but the whole world could have ended instead. As Robert McNamara, Kennedy’s defence secretary in 1962, said 40 years later, “We were just plain lucky in October 1962 — and without that luck most of you would never have been born because the world would have been destroyed instantly or made unlivable in October 1962.” Then he said the bit that applies to us. “Something like that could happen today, tomorrow, next year. It will happen at some point. That is why we must abolish nuclear weapons as soon as possible.” They are still there, you know, and human beings still make mistakes. Gwynne Dyer is a Londonbased independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

West Bench not getting free ride We would like to take exception to the article in the Western News dated Oct. 5 in which Coun. Helen Konanz stated that the community of West Bench should amalgamate with the City of Penticton since we use so many Penticton services, even using their roads for cycling. This is a ridiculous statement coming from a resident of Kaleden who also does not pay taxes for the use of Penticton roads, community centres, etc. Maybe she should move to Penticton before making such inflammatory statements. She went on to say that we use so many community services that we should amalgamate with the City of Penticton. They use every service that we have, basically. They work here, they play here, they ride their bikes here, they do everything here. The same applies to you Mrs. Konanz. But I would like to enlighten her that we do pay taxes to the Penticton Regional Hospital (which includes a major expansion coming up in the near future), 911, emergency planning, mosquito control, flood planning, fire protection from the City of Penticton, sewage (even though we are on septic tanks) and the community centre. By the way, no other regional community in the RDOS contributes to the community centre. Not even Faulder, Naramata, Heritage Hills, Okanagan Falls or Kaleden contribute. But we do allow other people to use our roads on the West Bench to access the golf courses and the KVR. If the councillor is so upset that we ride our bikes, jog and swim in Penticton, maybe she should put a

A warning to landlords

This letter is to give a “heads up” warning to all landlords and snowbirds in the South Okanagan. As most landlords already know, the constant restructuring of the residential tenancy regulations have become more and more in favour of the tenant, making it difficult to justify a rental business, particularly home residences. When you hand over the keys to a home worth many hundreds of thousands of dollars to a new tenant, you virtually hand him or her the keys to a bank vault. Those keys allow him to mess up your house, to flee without paying rent or utility bills, to stay in the home for an additional 15 days without paying rent or utility if they so wish — and you can’t do a damn thing about it. Case in point: I recently rented a home to “C.”, a smooth-talking lady who, because of her business of looking after the homes of snowbirds, appeared to be an ideal candidate for our rental house. C. was given two months to give her former landlord notice, who she said was devastated to learn she was leaving. My previous tenant (R.) was having difficulty finding a new place, so was staying until the last moment. C. got into near fisticuffs with R. and his girlfriend, when she found that they wouldn’t be leaving until noon of the last day of the month (to which they were entitled), and threatened to sue them if they weren’t out by then. They did move out and cleaned the place before they left, to my satisfaction. But apparently it wasn’t fit to live in, according to C., who demanded that it be cleaned again before she would move in. To avoid further bitching, I

motion forward to tax all the Ironmen and tourists that come to the city to enjoy the same benefits. This brings up another subject regarding the purchase of bulk water from the City of Penticton, and I know a lot of Penticton residents are angry that we will be getting our water at a reduced price. Well, you should consider that the West Bench has bought and own their own infrastructure and maintains it and will in the future when the main line is installed so the city’s water can flow up to the West Bench. We are paying for our own installation, meters, monitoring and maintenance now and in the future. The City of Penticton is only supplying the water. Why should we be paying more than the residents of Penticton? The residents of Penticton are paying for their own pipes, meters, maintenance and the water, so it stands to reason that Penticton residents should be paying more. We are now paying and will be paying approximately $1,600 a year for water for the next 20 years and I don’t know of any community that pays that much for water, even Penticton. And we still don’t have potable water and haven’t had for a year and a half, and it will be another year and a half before we might have potable water. We have not been provided with free bottled water like some other communities. No, the West Bench residents are not getting a free ride.

agreed to pay her to do the job. Meanwhile she was harassing her two neighbours, who were also my tenants. One, for parking to close to her part of the driveway, and the second poor chap, because he was a Quebecois, and she didn’t like Quebecois. She did, however, ask the poor chap if he would bring her apples from my orchard. When he refused, she threw a tantrum and complained to me that she didn’t want him anywhere near her house and that his dog was keeping her awake at night. And so on and so on. When the end of the month came, she gave me 12 days notice (when it should have been 30) and refused to pay her rent. In turn, I had to wait five days after the first of the month end to give her 10 days notice, with another five days added on to make sure she received said notice. So I am out a full month’s rent and a month-and-a-half electrical/utility bill. Now a word of warning to you snowbirds. C. makes her living looking after the homes of people who spend their winters down south. She used someone else’s mower to mow the lawn (once). She had a lot of antique furniture (much more than anyone who rents would normally have). Check your home when you get back. Her card says she is a “home manager.” Beware. Frank Martens Summerland

Enhance what we have

Let us not forget that Penticton enjoys an envied location between two lakes. Last year, our beaches received acclaim from TripAdvisor as second only to the vast beaches at Tofino. I believe such an honour has more to do with the authentic na-

ture of the beaches than with plazas and commercial amenities. We would be wise to keep that authenticity in mind while deciding on the improvements to be made to the beach along Lakeshore Drive. The award-winning beach on Lake Okanagan provides an oldschool, authentic experience to residents and visitors alike, whether they are beach goers, pedestrians, on bikes or in vehicles. If there is $1.2 million in grant funding for beachside improvements, let it be used to truly enhance what already exists, rather than as seed money to incur unwanted public debt.

the lady who had a show of hands for what option people wanted. It appeared almost 70 per cent favoured Option 3 , 20 per cent for Option 4 and about five per cent each for option 1 and 2. I had to cut my own speech short — it appears stage fright got the best of me, or it could have been being trashed by the speaker before me who obviously knew zero about tourism or the negative impact of option 1 and 2 . Also, was the surfer dude who put down Lakeshore Drive and beach attempting to compare it to his favourite saltwater surfer beaches. In case he never noticed, Penticton is not on the ocean. West Okanagan beach and Lakeshore Drive are the most unique freshwater beach and street in Canada. Where else do you

have a desert mountain setting, almost guaranteed warm sunny skies in the summer and the luxury of being able to free angle park right in front of where you sunbathe, giving you the security and easy access to you car? Lakeshore Drive allows you to cruise the strip and the vintage cars add to that magic. Often in the evening when the vintage cars park, tourists ask if there is a car show in town. They take pictures, ask questions and are always welcome. Cars old and new are a part of the what make this unique. This beach is free of obstructions blocking the view. In a world of ecotourism, how is putting man-made obstructions on the beach a natural setting? This is the family beach of Penticton and

is also where most locals and seniors go because of easy access and maximum beach parking. Who wants to park blocks away out of site and access of your car? No one. The cyclists seem big on having more access on the beach. The biggest problem is child and senior safety. Children and seniors coming from their cars focused on the beach could be run into by cyclists passing by at a much higher speed than pedestrians. I have personally seen at Skaha, bicycles blasting down the path at full speed putting pedestrians in danger. You cannot enforce a speed limit for this. They took out car access at Skaha beach for cyclists to use, and this is where I take my family to cycle. In the offseason, Lakeshore Drive is plenty safe for bike use

nine months of the year. I believe making Lakeshore a cyclist beach would risk child/senior safety. We have Skaha beach for cyclists, while Lakeshore has always been the car/family beach. Why would we risk the change? Will there be any guilt or remorse when a child or senior is struck by a bike knowing it is because of their drive to change the most unique street/beach in Canada? There are times when change is good, there are times when change is devastating. Foresight is what makes the correct choice. We have two very distinct and different beaches, one catering to cyclists and walkers, the other catering to walkers and cars. Why are we trying to make them both the same? Clifford Martin Penticton

Lakeshore needs overlooked needed. (This could save some ment abutment needs attention, so

I know there have been a lot of letters regarding the Penticton lakeshore revitalization, and yes, I am adding another voice to the list. I have been to the council meetings, listened to what they had to say and saw the slide shows, and I have to admit, I am still not impressed with their ideas. What needs to be done on the lakeshore is not being addressed in a manner that I feel is appropriate, cost effective, or feasible. I agree the lakeshore could use some sprucing up. There are trees there that are, or soon will be, a problem. Those should be dealt with and new trees planted to replace them. The walkway does need some attention, but all the options I have seen and heard are not feasible or cost effective. The walkway should be widened in the narrow spots and the brickwork should be leveled where needed. The pathway on the grassy area near the peach could be reworked with the new rubber type they were talking about and the pathway straightened and widened. The bricks from that section could be used to widen the areas along the rest of the beach where

money to be used elsewhere as the bricks are a little pricey from what I understand.) The wheelchair accesses they are speaking of and showing in the diagrams, to me, do not make sense. Wheelchair access should be somewhere that the grade to the water is not too steep or too far from solid ground. They also need some kind of bars to help them pull themselves out of the water and back into their chair as the wheelchair ramp bars have been removed by the Sicamous. Bicycles, rollerblades and fourwheel bikes on the street or the walkway are a hazard during the busy summer months, so I suggested that for June, July and August that the south sidewalk from Power Street to the peach could be designated for their use only. It will not cost a great deal of money to make this safe for them, and for the vehicles using Lakeshore Drive. Lakawana Park does need the humps of dirt removed to make that area more usable by everyone. A couple more picnic tables there that are wheelchair accessible would be a nice touch. I understand that part of the ce-

fix it. Day moorage near the Sicamous is not something I am comfortable with as it may cause a danger to swimmers in that area, and the pollutants from the power boats is definitely not something I want to be swimming in. (This is in the options that were presented to us.) Another public washroom near the Sicamous would be nice, and maybe one somewhere between Power Street and the peach. They could be painted with trees and/or a beach scene so that they do not detract from the feel of the beach. We really do not need lots of vendors on the beach, or day moorage, which are reoccurring themes in the drawings I have seen in options 1, 2, 3 and 4. These are my personal ideas on how the lakeshore should be fixed up. Leave the parking alone, leave the two-way traffic alone, and just fix what is broken, and if you feel the need to add something nice, put in a couple of public washrooms and a proper wheelchair access. Thank you for letting me have my say. Marie Nobles Penticton

The Contenders bring 40 years of music repetoire Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

Playing 200 gigs per year, and annual appearances in the Okanagan, it would be easy to assume The Contenders have hit the stage at the Cleland Theatre before. In fact, it is one of the few places Valdy and Gary Fjellgaard haven’t been. “We are really looking forward to it,” said Valdy. “You know this is an interesting business. We don’t retire, people just stop coming to see us which is nature’s subtle, little warning sign. I am 67 years old and I am going to keep going, I am just having a ball.” With over 40 years of great tunes between them, The Contenders are playing the Cleland Theatre in Penticton on Nov. 3 and then Summerland, at the Centre Stage Theatre on Nov. 6. Supporting George Ryga week in B.C. (Nov. 2 to 10) the duo will perform with some of the proceeds going towards charity. “It becomes a tradition that we build the year around. We believe a lot about what George Ryga is about. He was a writer of social conscious. A portion of this year’s concerts are going towards a bursary for writers of social conscious,” said Valdy. The duo will be performing some of their vast repertoire that spans over 40 years of recording. Fjellgaard has never stopped writing songs and will have some new tunes to perform, while Valdy will also take the stage with new material from his album Read Between the Lines. Valdy said while they believe in writing with a social conscience, his mandate is to entertain and enlighten. “I don’t want to be preaching to people. I just like to put some little gems in there that people can take home with them and think about,” he said. “I believe ﬁrmly that as long as we can’t talk to each other or communicate we can’t get along.

nicate with one another then perhaps we will be civil with one another.” Valdy has been part of the fabric of Canadian folk music for over 38 years. His latest album delves into a variety of music from folk, rock to ballads and even a waltz called The Day They Shot Ginger Down. Valdy said it is about Ginger Goodwin a “matyr for labour” who was a B.C. activist until 1918. Singing and writing about the world and its issues has not left Valdy. Liner notes on each song describe the Read Between the

Lines tunes in aid of ﬂood victims in Manitoba, the ﬁsh-farming industry and a birthday song to the United Nations. Valdy moves from heavy issues to the quirky VLT, about how Dave Gunn pulled the plug on a gambling machine in a restaurant. “It is quite a weird album,” Valdy admits. “It’s very good, but it has so many different styles of music on it.” Tickets for the Penticton show can be purchased at The Dragon’s Den and at Martin’s Flowers for the Summerland show.

My mother-in-law likes to give unusual gifts: sea creatures, kaleidoscopes, mouth harps and ﬁnger pianos. She’s a librarian, so her eclectic choices often include books. For our wedding anniversary this year, she gave us a book with the lofty title The Swerve: How the World Become Modern. Not exactly a light, romantic, pop culture choice such as say ... Fifty Shades of Grey. In fact the author of Swerve, Stephen Greenblatt, sounded familiar from my university days. It turns out he’s a stalwart Shakespeare scholar, Pulitzer Prize winner, and the editor of academic tomes such as the Norton Anthology of English Literature. Many of his books are

on my shelves — albeit collecting dust. I carried The Swerve around in my book bag for a couple months before bracing myself for what I thought was going to be a dry and heavy read. I was entirely mistaken. This tour from ancient to modern times is centred around an engaging and entertaining story. In the winter of 1417, a book hunter named Poggio Bracciolini ventures to a remote monastery in search of forgot-

ten ancient Greek and Roman manuscripts. After convincing the monks to let him peruse their dusty shelves, Poggio makes what is perhaps his greatest ﬁnd — Lucretius’ ancient poem On the Nature of Things. The book had been lost to history for more than a thousand years. In it, Lucretius spoke of ideas that were both astonishing and dangerous in the 1400s. He said everything was made of atoms, and that after death, there was no heaven. Poggio, who became one of the greatest book hunters of the age, knew this was an extraordinary book, and had it hastily copied. Greenblatt argues that discovery of ancient texts like this one helped hasten the start of the renaissance.

Many great thinkers since that time have been profoundly inﬂuenced by the reading of On the Nature of Things – from Montaigne to Thomas Jefferson and Einstein. Greenblatt is a serious academic, but he is also an agile writer. The Swerve isn’t meant for just those who live in ivory towers. In fact, it’s written for the masses. For this book, he chooses a much different style, but the same intellect shines through. The book has it all — intrigue, mystery, danger, humour and above all, much food for thought. Thanks to my mother-in-law for throwing another swerve into my life. Heather Allen is a writer and reader living in Penticton.

Kelowna, Penticton and Vernon shows saw record attendance numbers conﬁrming that the demand for live symphony concerts in the Okanagan valley is increasing.

Get Bent brings back Girls Glow Nights for the youth over the winter Western News Staff

A unique idea to provide female youths with something to do on a Friday night is catching on. Get Bent Arts and Recreation created the Girls Glow Nights in the summer to provide a place for youth to dance and party, in a safe way. “Safe nights like these have a long-lasting impact on teens and we recognized the need for it for youth in Penticton,” said Raina Dawn Lutz, holistic nutritionist and yoga teacher at Get

Bent. “It’s really important for young girls to have easy access to clean, healthy and safe activities with cool mentors that they can relate to — they see a good path that way, have more options for guidance. It’s more than just a dance.” Lutz said Get Bent is committed to keep the events rolling through the winter and will be hosting another Girls Glow Nights Oct. 26. Girls aged 11 to 16 from Penticton and surrounding areas are welcome to join the fun at the studios in the Cannery.

The ﬁtness party nights consist of glow sticks, glow paint and glow necklaces, 80’s neon clothes, a fog machine, cool lighting and blaring music — not to mention pizza included and free sports drinks. The girls are led through a high-energy night incorporating dance, ﬁtness and even a touch of yoga. “The memories created on such a fun night keeps the girls coming back for more — and to spend more time in a safe environment on a Friday night is exactly what Get Bent is working towards,” said Lutz.

Best finish overshadows challenges for triathlete Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

David Matheson’s sixth time competing in the Ironman World Championship is his best. The 40-year-old Penticton triathlete enjoyed a personal best time in Kona, Hawaii, clocking in at nine hours, 45 minutes and three seconds. That’s good for 214th overall (out of 1,882 finishers) and 22nd overall in the 40-44 age group. Matheson qualified after posting his best result during Subaru Ironman Canada. Competing on home turf in August, Matheson placed 10th overall in 9:19:04, which put him first overall in his age group, breaking a 20-year-old course record. Matheson said it was just a day where everything kind of came together for him in Kona. “It was probably one of the tougher days there,” said Matheson. “I think given my past experiences there and knowing the race and course and conditions, I was able to draw from that experience and put together the best race.” While he admits to posting better times in other races, Kona is different. “It’s not even comparable to any other Ironman just because of the elements there, ocean swim, heat, humidity and winds,” he said. “For me to pull off my best result, seven weeks after my best result in Canada, was

GAPING GOAL — Austin Donaldson misfired on this chance to get his fifth goal of the season with Penticton Lakers goalie Niall McGregor doing his best to get over during Kootenay International Junior Hockey League action Wednesday in the South Okanagan Events Centre. The Grizzlies built a 4-1 lead midway through the second period and won 5-4 win. The Lakers scored three in the third and stepped up their game after McGregor was pulled in favour of Stephen Yesavage.

just awesome.” The world championship was Matheson’s 18th ironman event and the Canada Revenue Agency employee said there is something about the island that draws him there. “I can’t seem to get enough of it,” said Matheson. “It’s in my nature, I’m competitive and trying to challenge myself. Now that I’m 40 it seems even more challenging. It’s fun. During the race at times, I think I can’t do this anymore. I have feelings that I can’t finish. After the race I’m ready to go again. It’s legendary, it’s 30 years old, it’s the original and by far the toughest of all of them and competing against the best in the world.” Matheson would like to compete in Kona again and is eyeing 2014. His plan is to go every couple of years. Next year he will compete in Ultraman Canada. He has thought of doing Challenge Penticton and is working on convincing his wife Tina. He won’t do it alone because it’s three weeks after Ultraman Canada. As for his Ironman Canada record, Matheson said he knew during the race where he was positioned and that the record was possible. “Knowing it was the last Ironman Canada (in Penticton) gave me incentive to try and shoot for that,” he said. Penticton’s Tom Evans placed 1,893rd overall. Evans completed the swim in 54 minutes and one second, then the bike in four hours, 59 minutes and 43 seconds but did not complete the run portion. American Jordan Rapp finished 13th overall. The 32-year-old engineer completed the swim in 59:07, the bike in 4:40:02 and the run in 2:59:27.

Lakers girls field hockey team advances to Valleys Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

A late goal by Ginger Herbert has put the Pen High Lakers senior girls’ field hockey team into the Valley championship. The Lakers hosted

the Mt. Boucherie Bears on Tuesday in AAA Okanagan Valley Senior Girls Field Hockey league action. Christy Grandbois assisted on Herberts winner, while Kyra Anderson earned the shutout in the 1-0 win.

The South Kamloops Titans finished first in the league, while Kelowna Secondary School Owls were second. Pen High finished third and play the Owls in a 9 a.m. semifinal match Saturday at Kelowna’s Mission Sports

Fields. “Pen High hasn’t beaten KSS all season, so it would be an upset for us to knock them off at the Valleys,” said Lakers coach Shaun Johnston. “We will have to be really tight defensively and take advantage of what scoring chances we get.” The bronze medal

game is at 3 p.m. and the gold medal match is at 4:30 p.m. Johnston said she was pleased with how her team played against the Bears. “The players have shown marked improvement since the beginning of the season, especially those in Grades 10 and 11,” said Johnston. “They

have increased confidence to carry the ball and a better sense of when to send a pass. Defensively, they are stepping up to challenge an oncoming opponent or to beat the opponents to a loose ball.” Heading into the weekend, Johnston wants to see her players finish more of their chances in

the circle. “The best opportunity to get shots on goal is during a penalty corner when all but five of the defending team are sent to centre,” she said. “When we play in the Valley Championships it is on artificial turf, so it will be easier to use our penalty corner set plays.”

Vees coaching staff impressed with team play Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

The 2012-13 version of the Penticton Vees are showing that you don’t have to obliterate teams to win. Vees fans grew accustomed to that in 2011-12

as they worked their way to a national championship season that included a Canadian Junior Hockey League record 42-straight wins. Heading into this weekend’s action against the West Kelowna

Warriors on Friday and the visiting Victoria Grizzlies on Saturday, the Vees lead the Interior Conference with a 12-2-0-1 record. That is also good for first overall in the BCHL. Last year after 15 games, the Vees were 11-3-0-1.

Vees coach-GM Fred Harbinson is more than happy where his team is. The difference is coming from both ends of the ice. Last year’s Vees scored 76 goals in 15 games, for an average of 5.07. This year, the Vees have burned goalies 54 times, for an average of 3.6. “We might not be as flashy,” said Harbinson, “but we compete really hard, work hard and we can skate. When we’re not turning pucks over in the neutral zone and using our feet we can play with the best.” The Vees have allowed just 32 goals for an average of 2.13, while last season they allowed 46, an average of 3.07. Harbinson said the tandem of Chad Katunar and Nic Renyard have been strong. Defence has also been tough as Harbinson said they haven’t spent a lot of time in their end. They have only been outshot twice, by Nanaimo and Prince George, and were tied in shots once. Find full story at www.pentictonwesternnews.com.

Schools getting extra help

The Okanagan Skaha School District has divvied up $692,197 for extra classroom help in 18 schools. B.C.’s Education Ministry is providing the cash through its Learning Improvement Fund, which was built up partly with money saved during last year’s teachers’ strike. Queen’s Park Elementary in Penticton will receive the biggest cut, $46,700,

to cover the cost of two certified education assistants working a total of 8.5 hours each day. Columbia Elementary, Giant’s Head Elementary, McNicoll Park Middle and Skaha Lake Middle Schools will each get two CEAs for a total of eight hours a day. The allocations are based on special education needs at each school and feedback from teachers and administrators.

Cost attached to opting out of city’s meter reading program Steve Kidd Western News Staff

Opting out of the City of Penticton’s automatic meter reading program is not as easy as simply hanging on to your old electrical or water meter. That’s because meters need to be replaced, regardless of what type of meter they are being replaced with, according to Mitch Moroziuk, director of operations for the City of Penticton. “All the old electromechanical meters are simply getting old and they are wearing out,” said Moroziuk. But should a homeowner choose to opt out of having an automatic meter reading (AMR) unit, which is the preference of the city electric utility, there is a cost attached. AMR meters allow meter readings to be taken by staff driving by with a receiver in the vehicle and considerably reduce the costs associated with collecting usage data. Concerns have been raised, however, about the safety of the meters, which transmit their data in microsecond bursts at regular intervals, for a total of about two seconds per day. “They have to be changed to something and the type of meter a person would get if they opted out of an AMR meter is not something we stock,” said Moroziuk. “We don’t have them, so we have to go

buy them, that is why there is a charge for that. And then of course, there is a reading charge.” In terms of an electricity meter, that means a $105 charge for a new electro-mechanical meter, and an $11 monthly fee for the manual readings. Those numbers, and even the whole optout program, were developed after consultation with the public, city staff and council. “We went through the whole process with the public at the forums and I think we came up with a solution that benefitted the community, and benefitted the city in that if someone really had strong views on AMR, there was a mechanism for them to opt out of it,” said Moroziuk, explaining the reasoning behind the charge for a nonAMR meter. “Again, that is not a meter we are getting, not a meter we are stocking. We have also bought

% OFF

all the AMR meters, so now we have an AMR meter in our warehouse that we don’t need. They are sealed meters, with our logo on them, so it is not like we can return them,” he said. “We also had to look at the rest of the customers and they shouldn’t be absorbing the cost of someone wanting to opt out of AMR. So those costs should be borne by the person that is making that choice.” Under federal regulations, the city’s electric utility is required to test the existing meters on a set basis, which determines when the utility needs to replace them. Moroziuk said the city is running out of time on the existing meters. “The electro-mechanical meters are old and need to be replaced,” said Moroziuk, adding that the older a meter gets, the greater the frequency of testing that is required.

Halloween haunts offer plenty of chills Western News Staff

Families looking for something different than just simply trick or treating for Halloween this year in the South Okanagan have a number of events to choose from. On Friday and Saturday and again Tuesday and Wednesday, stop by Mme. Russaud’s family mortuary and crematorium and be guided through the haunted house, all for a good cause. “I started doing this a few years ago as a fundraiser for the OSNS. I started decorating my yard and got carried away and thought it was a shame to only have it for one night. I thought the OSNS has their telethon at this time of year so it would be a good tie in for that and I would expand the tours to more days,” said homeowner Dawn Renaud. On Friday and Saturday, then again on Tuesday and Wednesday, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. the public is welcome to tour the haunted house for a cash donation that is then given to the OSNS Child Development Centre. “I am a big fan of Halloween. It is fun to pretend, dress up and the spookiness. I also like the theatre so this is an opportunity to do some theatrical stuff,” said Renaud. “I lived up north for awhile where there was a lot of snow on the ground by Halloween,

so when I moved down here I started crashing witches into my house and one year had one up on the chimney and it just snowballed from there.” Renaud said the tour is family friendly and she makes sure there are not a lot of things that pop out to scare small children or are too gory. The haunted house is located at 754 Toronto Ave. Penticton Parks and Recreation is hosting The Great Pumpkin Party on Friday from 9:30 to 11 a.m. for kids ages three to five years old. Join in for some creepy crafts, ghoulish games, spooky songs and more. On Saturday they will host the Halloween Extravaganza, also for kids aged three to five years old, with crafts and music. Costumes are encouraged (no masks) for both events and the cost is $10.75. Covert Farms in Oliver has a pumpkin patch that is open daily until Nov. 3. On the weekend they will have organic hotdogs and smokies on the barbecue, their famous grape juice, popcorn, hot chocolate and homemade goodies. They also will have the fire pits going to roast marshmallows. For $6, kids can play in the corn maze, duck races, spider web, bouncy balls, mini golf and jumping pillow. Friday through Sunday they will have pumpkin patch tours from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Their vintage tour truck will be going to the patch on the half hour, free of charge. On Friday and Saturday from 3 to 8 p.m. they are hosting a haunted corn maze. For $9, there will be trick-or-treating, fire pits, outdoor movie, hotdogs and smokies and other fun activities. Bring a flashlight, trick-or-treat bag, chair or blanket to sit on and come dressed in a costume. Partial proceeds of this event will be going to the South Okanagan Children’s Charity. For more info visit www.convertfarms.ca. The South Okanagan Events Centre will be celebrating Halloween early with their first-ever Trick Or Suite Night on Saturday during the Penticton Vees game against the Victoria Grizzlies. The game begins at 5 p.m. but organizers are asking families to come early for the festive fun. The barbecue is getting fired up at 3:30 p.m. Vote for your favourite carved pumpkin by the Vees players, and you might get to take it home. Kids are encouraged to wear their costumes and go trick or treating on the suite level. The Victory Church of Penticton is hosting a fun-filled games night for kids wanting something more than trickor-treating on Wednesday from 6 to 9 p.m. Set up like a miniature carnival, the games encourage kids to be ac-

tive, entertained and the kids still get to go home

with lots of peanut-free candy.

ANette eNgel of Maple Leaf Spirits pours Adrian Dix a sample of one of their specialty products during a visit the NDP leader made to Penticton this week.

The spirit of the law Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Changes to federal legislation have allowed wineries to ship their wines from province to province without fear of breaking laws. Jorg Engel, of Maple Leaf Spirits in Penticton, would just like to be able to sell his product to local restaurants and other establishments without having to ship it to Vancouver first. NDP leader Adrian Dix paid a visit to the artisan distillery, where the Engels produce a variety of products distilled from local fruits and grapes in the form of liqueurs, brandies and grappas. Dix used the occasion to talk about changes the NDP would like to see made to B.C. liquor control laws to help grow the province’s fledgling artisan distillery industry. “There is a viable business case that the same provisions that past governments put in place to build the wine industry can help artisan distilleries flourish, boosting agriculture, tourism and Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) sales in the process,” said Dix. “These boutique spirits are already earning B.C. international acclaim and awards, and represent a new opportunity in value-added manufacturing.”

Proof of the claim lies in the awards Maple Leaf Spirits has received, especially from a visit in 2008 to the Salzburg Destillata, the world’s largest liquor tasting. Almost 1700 products were entered in the competition, yet Maple Leaf came away with five medals, including a gold for its grappa-style Skinny Pinot Noir. Part of the secret, said Engel, lies in the exclusively local fruit that he uses in his distilling process. Other than the maple liqueur, his ingredients are procured from Okanagan Falls to Summerland, to produce fruit brandies and liqueurs based on local pears, cherries, apricots as well as grappa-style spirits distilled from local grape varietals. “They are like biting into the fresh fruit,” said Anette Engel. “When you think about the cherries we had here this summer, they are all gone. But in this bottle, you can still keep that fresh aroma for the winter.” But as well-known as Maple Leaf is becoming internationally, the Engels are unable to sell their product locally, other than at their distillery. “I source my ingredients as locally as possible, and now I would have to leave a 1,000-km long carbon footprint to get my product

back to the Okanagan,” said Jorg, explaining that for a local restaurateur to buy his product, it would have to go on a long journey, passing through LDB warehouses in Vancouver and Kamploops. “Kamloops ships it back to the government liquor store here in town where my neighbour could go in eight to 12 weeks to pick up the product,” said Jorg. “That’s one of the things we are trying to change for our distilleries is to make that exchange possible,” said Dix. “We have a whole set of measures we are talking about that worked for the wine industry … we would like to see the same rules apply.” The NDP is recommending that as well as reducing the LDB markup to 129 per cent from 170 and exempting storefront sales from commission, artisan distillers be able to make direct sales to restaurants and licensees, in addition to sales through the LDB and open on-site lounges and event areas. “Growth in craft distilling will create a new secondary market for B.C. farmers and fruit growers. This is especially important, given the struggles the latter have faced in recent years,” said New Democrat agriculture critic Lana Popham.

but I never feel fulﬁlled. Employers often tell me to tone down my ideas or they remind me that I am not the boss. After the loss of my most recent job, I am realizing that being my own boss could be the answer to some of my issues. I do have some savings and a couple of business ideas that I have been contemplating for a few years, but I am in the dark about how to move forward. I must admit I am afraid to take a risk with a new business in this economy. Any insight would be helpful.

The Boss

Dear Boss, October is Small Business Month, good timing. (Watch for community events and infor-

mation on self-employment). The restlessness you describe in your employment history is a common indicator that self-employment is worth looking into, but not every unfulﬁlled employee is an entrepreneur in the making. Do you truly have what it takes to wear the many hats of a small business owner, let alone purchase the materials, design the hats, sew them all together and sell them too. Self-employment can be an exciting and fulﬁlling career choice for the motivated, hardworking and well-suited individual and entrepreneurship is on the rise. According to the

Guide to the B.C. Economy and Labour Market, almost one in ﬁve people in B.C. are self-employed as of 2008 ( http://guidetobceconomy.org/new_ economy/creating_own_ job.htm). Start building your network by getting out of the house and chatting with successful small business owners in your area. Find out how they got started, the hours they are putting in and when they started making a proﬁt. A healthy fear of self-employment is a good regulator that will promote caution and keep you on your toes. Lower the risk further by keeping up a traditional job search while you gather information. Now you can pat yourself on the back for creative career thinking, and remember Boss, asking for guidance ought to keep you from dancing in the dark. Visit the following websites for information on self-employment: Community Futures Okanagan-Similkameen

Tourism Penticton puts focus on united approach Steve Kidd Western News Staff

Though the groundwork was laid this spring, the Tourism Penticton Society is moving to full operation now that they have received their official not for profit society designation. With their official not for profit society designation just arrived, the Tourism Penticton Society is ramping up to full operation. The groundwork for the society was laid in March, when Tourism Penticton CEO Jessie Campbell, working with the Penticton Hotel Association, set out a new model for managing tourism services, tying together municipal funding and the additional hotel tax to be managed by an 11-member board, which would oversee the Penticton and Wine Country Tourism Centre. The board was to

have included six representatives from the PHA, but in the late spring the group representing Penticton’s hotel and other accommodation owners signed a contract with the city for the right to manage the two per cent hotel tax that travellers pay when staying at properties in Penticton with more than four rooms. The new Tourism Penticton Society is working to bring the Penticton Hospitality Association to the table to ensure marketing Penticton continues in a unified manner, with all tourismrelated funds invested together. That board was to manage both the HRT funds — worth between $400,000 and $450,000 annually — as well as the city’s contribution, reported at the time to be $324,080. “That is our hope, but at this point we do not have that two per

cent tax,” said Diane Stirling, operator of the Loco Landing Adventure Park and acting chair of the society. “We are very much hoping that we can combine the funds into one pot to enable us more leverage in the marketplace. That just makes sense, and it is an industry best practice.” In the interim, Campbell has outlined a strategy for re-focusing the mandate of the organization, including a stronger emphasis on direct sales. The new society’s plans include partnering with tourism operations to create packaging and promotional experiences that can be sold through the Wine Country Visitor Centre, via tourismpenticton.com and other mediums. “While we only have the city’s money, that is why we are being very proactive in turning this into our focus on generating sales and what

we can do to ensure that we do have funds to do an amazing job of marketing our region, if we can’t have the funds that were previously available,” said Stirling. But for now, Stirling said they are in the process of recruiting four new board members to join the six current

members, representing a variety of tourism sectors including: Miranda Halladay, wine and agritourism; Sally Pierce, conventions, meetings and events; Laura Carleton, sport tourism; Lesley Gabriel, Penticton Indian Band Development Corporation; and Chuck Loewen, representing

the City of Penticton. “We have three seats open for accommodators, which is very important to have that representation at our board,” said Stirling. “We have a spot open for the retail and restaurant sector and we have an additional spot open for wine and agritourism, which

would make two in total on our board.” Stakeholders from these sectors interested in joining the board were asked to send an expression of interest by Oct. 16 via email, with a follow-up of a one-page letter outlining their current roles in the tourism sector.

Heartburn Reflux

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.

The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 90% acidic food (meat, pasta, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy #7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box. < Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC < Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief and having no side effects. Michael Fasheh, #39 49, Port Ranch, CA< Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking anti-acid products. I am also trying to eat more alkaline food. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL
