in hospitals and other care facilities. Blondel-Hill confirmed that four PRH patients had a C. difficile infection in September. However, the infection rate is generally reported as the number of cases per 10,000 patient days, and it changes dramatically from month to month. According to figures provided by Interior Health for this fiscal year, the rate reached 12.9 in April, dipped to zero in July, then climbed back to 9.3 in September. Between April 1 and Oct. 11, the rate averaged 6.2. There are too many variables at play to nail down a precise reason for the rate changes, Blondel-Hill said, adding that because there are so few cases involved, just a single new infection can dramatically bump up the rate. When the rate does climb over six, an Interior Health infectious disease control committee investigates and implements measures such as extra cleaning and increased education around hand washing for staff and patients. And when a patient is diagnosed with a C. difficile infection, she continued, that person is isolated and her room and anything she touched is given a “terminal cleaning” to get rid of the bug. Blondell-Hill, a microbiologist who founded the Do Bugs Need Drugs? educational program, also said the recent cases she examined at PRH didn’t seem to originate there. “The few cases we’ve had don’t seem to be related. So (the patients) didn’t have the same nurse, they weren’t on the same ward, that kind of thing,” she said, adding it’s more likely the patients got sick because they were taking antibiotics. “To totally eradicate C. difficile,” BlondelHill said, “I don’t know one institution that’s been able to do that.” And PRH has been doing better than other facilities its size. The hospital’s C. difficile infection rate was 2.2 during the first half of the 201112 fiscal year, fourth lowest among the 19 other B.C. hospitals in its size category, according to the most recent data available from the Provincial Infection Control Network of B.C.

A woman who claims she has twice left Penticton Regional Hospital with a nasty sickness says she won’t be going back again. She said visits for minor procedures both this September and last resulted in her developing Clostridium difficile infections. The bacteria can bring on flu-like symptoms, including diarrhea and vomiting, and cause death in the most extreme cases. “Every orifice of your body is kicking out liquid,” said the woman, who asked to remain anonymous. “You’re so sick that you can’t care for yourself. You can’t leave the bathroom. And I just don’t want anyone else to have to go through what I went through. It’s just horrible.” She said the C. difficile infections were so severe, she was admitted to hospital for treatment and placed in isolation in the PRH intensive care unit. The woman did not provide any documentation to back up her claims and did not want her name published for fear it might affect her ability to obtain health care in the future. An infectious disease specialist for Interior Health strongly denied that going public would result in any negative repercussions for the woman, but said her story is plausible. “Is it possible she picked it up in the hospital? Yes, it’s possible… but it’s very difficult to say,” said Dr. Edith Blondel-Hill, adding there are two ways people typically acquire a C. difficile infection. Some people carry the bug in their guts, but the bacteria doesn’t cause a problem because other flora keep it in check. Antibiotics, however, can upset the balance and allow C. difficile to flourish and make its host sick. The bug and its spores are also present in human feces and can infect people who touch surfaces that are contaminated with feces and then touch their mouths afterwards. That mode of transmission is usually how the bacteria is spread

Telethon puts focus on children’s needs Mark Brett Western News Staff

Putting a price on care and compassion for special needs children is difficult, but for those who do the job, sadly it is a necessity. That’s why raising the dollars and cents is so important at this time of year for the OSNS Child Development Centre. It is also the reason why so many people give of themselves to help get the badly needed $300,000 to make up annual budget shortfall for the facility. And while this year’s projected total of $53,000 from Sunday’s Sharea-Smile Telethon is down compared to last year, centre executive director Judy Sentes couldn’t be happier with the results. “We knew coming in it was going to be tough and indeed it was, but like it has in the past, this community has been utterly amazing,” said Sentes, who announced earlier this was her final telethon. “You can never say this is what we did last year or what the all time high was because every year is a different year. “Unfortunately there are more and more good charities who are forced into fundraising. The philanthropic dollar to all of this is not only weak, it hasn’t grown and there’s more of the charities needing a slice of that pie.” She added the impact on both businesses and individuals who do their best to help can literally be draining. Perhaps one of the most important things now is for those who did con-

tribute is to honour their pledges. Calling it a “gentle” reminder, Sentes points out that without the cash to back up the donation, the figures are only on paper. That is true especially in years like this one where the amounts are lower, every penny counts. According to the executive director, there are an increasing number of children in need of support in the centre’s wide coverage area.

One spot in particular is the Princeton region where the mine re-opening has brought an influx of younger families. “There has been a dramatic rise in the number of children who have need of our services there,” said Sentes. “Families are working and they can’t get their kids to us, so we go to them and that’s costly. It’s easy for a bureaucrat to say they (children) should come to us but that’s two

hours away and many of them just can’t do that.” One very familiar face on the screen for the nine-hour telethon again this year was CHBC Television’s Mike Roberts. While he may have lost count of the number of years he has been giving of his time to the event, he doesn’t regret a minute of it. “It’s been a long time but a good time,” he said during an off-camera

moment. “It’s still a lot of fun and I really enjoy it. Especially meeting the people who work here because you get to find out the joy and satisfaction they get out of it and the wonderful changes they make in children’s lives and families’ lives. “We get to meet the staff and parents and people who come here to get the services the centre offers and it is heart warming to help out the child development centre.” He added it is not just the individual kids who benefit. “You get a problem in a family and it can affect everybody. You get a solution and it can affect everybody and that’s neat,” said the host. “This is just a treasure of a place.” Rotary Club member Carl Tymm was just one of the many volunteers who manned the telephones, taking pledges and twisting the arms and wallets of friends. “The child development centre is very important,” said Tymm, who added this is his way of giving back to the community he loves so much. “It’s an area that’s not really addressed properly and we would like to see it funded so that more kids can come here. “The kids are the most important thing, they’re our future and the more we can do for them, the better the future will be.” Donations can still be made to the development centre by calling 250492-0295 or online at osns.org. The organization’s other major fundraisers include the annual Evergreen Ball next month and the Harley Davidson raffle, with tickets going on sale in late December.

Economic development officers on firing line Joe Fries Western News Staff

Next time a hockey coach complains about a lack of job security, he should be thankful he’s not an economic development professional. Five of those business boosters have been sacked by local governments throughout the South Okanagan in just the past four years. Osoyoos was the latest to jettison its economic point man when it parted ways late this summer with Jim Newman. Mayor Stu Wells said via email that he wouldn’t discuss the matter because it’s a personnel issue. Newman, who couldn’t be reached for comment, was the community development manager for Osoyoos, although his duties veered into the realm of economic development. He was also the town’s staff representative on council’s economic development advi-

sory committee. That committee’s chairman, Len McLean, said his group was not consulted on council’s decision to cut ties with Newman and was never provided a reason. “I believe (council’s) stand on it was that they wanted to go in a different direction,” McLean said. “I personally believe that it was a personality conflict.” The town has indicated to the committee it will delegate economic development duties to existing staff members, McLean added. Newman’s termination is the latest to befall the ranks of economic development professionals who worked for the region’s local governments. The carnage began with Penticton cutting loose longtime business promoter Wayne Tebbutt in December 2008, followed by Oliver axing Les Lawther in March 2009, and Sum-

merland dropping Scott Boswell in November 2010. Penticton, the only community to rehire the position, in March 2012 terminated Tebbutt’s replacement, David Arsenault. The job was refilled in July by Colleen Pennington. Arsenault said in an interview this week that the industry’s high turnover rate is due partly to a misunderstanding of what economic development really means and how long it really takes, plus the “failure” of his colleagues to properly manage expectations. “This profession as a whole is based on results… and economic development doesn’t happen overnight,” he said. “A lot of times it’s thought a pied piper’s going to bring business into your community and that’s economic development and that’s economic growth, (but) that’s far from what economic development is.” Arsenault, who now works in Kelowna for

a private firm that provides public policy consultants, said economic development officers’ real work is helping existing businesses grow and prosper, because it’s existing businesses that create most new jobs. “Most people see economic development as not being effective because there isn’t growth or new businesses coming to town, but they don’t see what’s working behind the scenes.” Dale Wheeldon, CEO of the Economic Development Association of B.C., agreed with Arsenault and acknowledged his members “do have, in many cases, short lifespans in their communities, and it isn’t necessarily because of something the (economic development officer) has done.” Sometimes politicians are looking for scapegoats, so they “blame the EDO and hire somebody else,” Wheeldon continued. Other times, people simply ”want change for change’s sake.”

Vendors at the Penticton Farmers’ Market on Saturday pulled up stakes for the final time this year. The five-month run on the 100 block of Main Street came to a damp and dreary end with the weather now decidedly fall-like, but those involved said the market’s 22nd season was a success. “It’s been one of my best years. I’m getting lots of (regular) customers, because people get to know you when you’ve been in the market longer,” said Justene Wright of Blue Moon Organics. The 2012 season was her fourth selling vegetables at the weekly event. Sales were up, she said, but year-over-year comparisons are difficult because her inventory varies with Mother Nature’s mood. With her Saturdays now free, Wright said she’ll spend the winter working, renovating her home and missing the market. “I’m not happy to be cold, but I’ll miss it,” she said. “I like coming. I like the people.” Tom Wilson, who operates the Bread Box Bakery, said his inventory remains the same week to week, so he was able to report a sales increase of between 12 and 14 per cent this year over last. “Every year we’re a little busier,” said Wilson, who just completed his 15th season as a vendor. Market manager Stephanie Sundquist said a full roster of 58 vendors turned out every

week, although the number dwindled to 35 for the final edition. “We had beautiful weather for three months straight, up until today,” Sundquist said. “And we just had really good customers. It’s been a beautiful season.” She added that three indoor markets have been scheduled for Nov. 10, Dec. 8 and Dec. 22 at the Shatford Centre from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day.

Among the customers who braved the rain for 2012’s final outdoor event were Dejan Nad and his two-year-old son Andrej. “I feel sorry that today’s the last day of the market,” said Dejan, who attends every week with his boy. “We have a tradition to come every Saturday. My wife, she works Saturdays, so this is our routine,” he explained. “We don’t know what we’re going to do next Saturday.”

A resolution passed at the Okanagan Tree Fruit Cooperative AGM last week may not even come up for discussion when the newly elected board of directors holds its first meeting Thursday. The resolution in question was put forward by Glen Cross, a Kelowna fruit grower and former director of the board. He wants the packinghouse to take punitive action against the B.C. Fruit Penticton

Growers Association and cease funding the organization until BCFGA president Kirpal Boparai either steps down or is removed by their executive. Earlier this month, the OTFC took action against Boparai directly, when the grower allegedly breached his contract with the co-op by selling a portion of his apple crop independently. Growers who have signed contracts with the co-op are required to sell 100 per cent of their crops through the organization. Gallery

Boparai, who was elected as president of the growers’ lobby organization last January, aired complaints about the packinghouse system similar to those of some cherry growers earlier this year, who chose to leave their fruit on the trees rather than sell them at below the cost of production through the co-op. After four seasons of poor prices, Boparai said growers lacked confidence in the organization and that changes needed to be made at the upper management level, suggesting the organization was not being aggressive enough. Rob Dawson, acting president of the OTFC board, said the board may choose not to discuss the resolution. “It’s up to the board of directors to decide,” said Dawson, explaining that the board isn’t bound to act on every resolution passed at the AGM. He likens it to the provincial government being forced to act on every whim of the voting public, which he said would soon lead to not having a government. If the board members are not living up to the desires of the voters in the OTFC, Dawson said, they will be voted out of office when their term ends.

at 4 & 7 p.m. at the Landmark 7 Cinema 250 Winnipeg, Penticton “This is a film about freedom of expression ...” Chinese artist and political activist Ai Weiwei first captured international attention when he was appointed the design consultant for Beijing’s Olympic “Bird’s Nest” stadium. Regarded as one of the most powerful contemporary artists working today, he was runner-up for TIME Magazine’s 2011 Person of the Year. But in China, he is subjected to surveillance and endures swift censorship of his work and activities. This timely film is a portrait of a key contemporary artist and an examination of China’s internal politics in the wake of Olympic promise and growth. “In many areas around the world, you can lose your freedom simply because you are asking for freedom.” ~ Ai Weiwei Pre-purchased Tickets: Gallery members & students: $10 Non-members: $12 available at the Penticton Art Gallery, 199 Marina Way (250-493-2928) and The Book Shop – 242 Main Street (250-492-6661).

The colour of a bell pepper depends on the variety and the stage of its ripeness. Most are sold in the mature green stage - fully developed, but not ripe. As they ripen on the vine, most bell peppers turn red and become sweeter. Bell peppers have no “bite” at all, since they contain a recessive gene that eliminates capsaicin. Instead, they have a mild tang and a crunchy texture.

EDITORIAL

Diehard hockey fans left out in the cold

iehard hockey fans are starting to get frustrated. The NHL lockout seems set to go on for weeks, if not months, and there is still a chance that there may be no NHL hockey at all this season. While this costs players a lot of money, it may be costing the game itself in more longterm ways. Surveys have indicated that a significant number of NHL ticket buyers are in no rush to go back to the arenas if the lockout is settled. This is particularly true in some U.S. markets, where hockey is the third or fourth most-popular sport in the area. The economic climate in which this lockout is taking place is much different than it was in 2004-05, when the league lost an entire season to another work stoppage. At that time, economic growth in both Canada and the United States was strong. Good times seemed endless, and sports fans were quite ready to spend money on tickets to games. They were more willing to put up with a labour disruption. While most Canadian fans are much more likely to be back in their seats when the NHL resumes play, there could be a significant drop in TV viewership. Many fans who watch hockey on TV don’t get a chance to get to NHL games. In markets such as Vancouver and Toronto, it is very hard to get tickets to a game, with many season tickets held by corporations. However, there is still plenty of good hockey to keepWESTERN fans entertained. The national PENTICTON champion Penticton Vees host the Chilliwack Chiefs Saturday at the South Okanagan Events Centre. And with more and more hockey fans finding new ways to get their hockey fix, the NHL and its players could soon be the ones left out in the cold.

Little new in B.C. Liberal renewal B.C. Liberal delegates gathered for their convention on the weekend at the Chateau Whistler, the same luxury hotel where Gordon Campbell fired up the troops in 2008. Back then the advertising slogan was “Keep B.C. Strong.” Unveiled at Premier Christy Clark’s pre-election pep rally: “Together. Building B.C..” This slight change hints at the big difference. Campbell led a front-running party to a third straight majority, while Clark is a struggling underdog pleading for unity to turn back an NDP tsunami. Hence “Free Enterprise Friday,” a discussion open to nonparty members. Clark began with an upbeat speech urging party members to “reach out our arms, open the tent and be as big as we can possibly be.” So did they? Dashing between three concurrent sessions, I missed a fair amount of it, but there were some provocative suggestions to appeal to those inclined to support the resurgent B.C. Conservatives. An accountant spoke to a packed room about the growing unfunded liability of publicsector pensions, most of which are still of the “defined benefit”

Tom Fletcher

B.C. Views variety. Based on bond interest rates that have since sunk to alltime lows, these governmentguaranteed pensions are now a free ride for those lucky enough to have them, funded by the taxes of private-sector workers who in many cases have no pension plan at all. There was talk of passing a law that all new public-sector hires be restricted to a “deﬁned contribution” plan where the employee and employer contribute equally and the pension is based on what those contributions yield. This would provoke the mother of all confrontations with the B.C. Federation of Labour, but there was no evidence yet that this is going beyond the

talking stage. The resolutions continued the theme of confronting the labour movement, ritual combat that seems to be an inescapable part of B.C. elections. Delegates passed two motions, one calling for publicsector unions to disclose what they spend on salaries, political activities and lobbying, and another advocating a ban on unions spending compulsory dues on political campaigns. This is a pet project of Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad, whose constituency sponsored both motions. Rustad presented a private member’s bill last year to require detailed disclosure, but it was left to die on the order paper. Like all the policy resolutions debated at the convention, these ideas are not binding on the government. Again, there is no actual change on the horizon. Delegates rejected another motion that would have made membership in the B.C. Teachers’ Federation optional. This would have been a declaration of war on B.C.’s most militant union, just as Clark and Education Minister Don McRae embark on a long-shot bid to end

the decades of confrontation that have deﬁned that relationship since teachers were relegated to the industrial union model of labour relations. There was a brief debate on a motion to scrap the carbon tax, sponsored by northern members who see it as unfairly punitive on those who endure cold weather and long highway drives for themselves and the goods they need to have trucked in. This was rejected too, after delegates were reminded that the tax now takes in more than $1 billion annually that is used to reduce business and personal income taxes. Scrapping it would amount to announcing across-the-board income tax hikes, contradicting 12 years of B.C. Liberal policy just before an election. The good news for Clark is that the 2012 convention was a high-energy, well-attended event that contradicts the notion of a party in disarray. The bad news is, nothing has really changed.

The benefits of volunteering I would like to take this time to thank the Penticton community and surrounding areas for all their support in this past year. You are all amazing residents of your city and have responded to our appeal for help with our fundraising events and with financial support. Our door-to-door campaign, Daffodil Pin and livecut daffodils in April were all a great success due to the volunteers and the financial donations. Thank you. Our Relay For Life in May was also a great success with over 42 teams, 250 participants and many more volunteers and the donations. Thank you so much to the community. I am sure that most of you have in some way been “touched by cancer” and that is what brought you out to volunteer and donate so generously. There are always others needing that help and support in our community and we want to be able to keep servicing them. With your help we can do this and make cancer history. The benefits of volunteering with the Canadian Cancer Society are: wanting to share the strength and courage that comes from surviving cancer; sharing or learning new skills; developing experience in organizing events; making your community a better place; trying out new ways of doing things; building a stronger resume; contributing to a cause that has affected a friend or family member; enhancing leadership abilities and joining a team to make things happen; meeting

Pedalling a better vision

I take offence to Mr, Thomas’s remarks on cyclists and Coun. Jakubeit. Mr. Thomas, if you have ever walked on Main Street, Ekhardt or Westminster Avenue in Penticton, you would be more sympathetic to cyclists. They have the choice of being run over by vehicles or plowing down pedestrians on the sidewalks. Have you walked or cycled on Eastside Road, Mr. Thomas? It’s a deathtrap for any not encased in a vehicle, and Highway 3A or 97 North aren’t any better. We in Penticton claim to be cycle friendly, but we haven’t put our money where our mouth is. We say we should spend millions on one waterfront, yet with the other hand tell the Challenge and Gran Fondo that we are there for them. In reality, the majority of our streets are deplorable to cyclists and the highways surrounding our city are like a game of hit the cyclists, with the one striking the most the winner. Think of the message we send to future generations if we adopt a cyclefriendly community instead of an oil-based, vehicle-friendly city. Thank you, Coun. Jakubeit, for trying to start the dialogue on a true vision of Penticton. Monica Hoffman Penticton

Bus service brings benefits

Recent comments quoted in your paper suggest a lack of knowledge by our mayor about the service provided by Greyhound to this community. We have lived here for 50 years and any time we had occasion to use the service it was always available on time seven days a week. In all that time it has never asked, to my knowledge, for any assistance

new people; being part of a nationally respected organization; gaining satisfaction through touching lives and making a difference; and responding to a request for help. We are once again in need of many volunteers to help keep our unit office open and to help support those that have been diagnosed with cancer, have cancer or know someone who has. Perhaps you have been touched in some way with cancer and would like to help others to make a difference in their lives. Some of the positions we are looking for are: cochair of fundraising events; co-chair of health-related events; chair and/or two co-chairs of door-to-door campaign; chair and/or two co-chairs of Daffodil Pin campaign; office volunteers; treasurer assistant; cochair office co-ordinator/volunteer engagement; and volunteers to assist with health and fundraising events. We are also looking for cancer survivors who are one year out of major treatment to volunteer with the peer support program Cancer Connections. You can volunteer for as little as two hours or as much as you would like, our needs are very flexible. Call 250-490-9681 if you are interested. Come join a group of wonderful volunteers and join the fight against cancer.

from the community. It has always just been taken for granted. Now Mayor Ashton, who wears the hat of our leader and also that as chair of the regional district, suggests that Greyhound has failed us. As a user, I beg to differ. I suggest that over the years, Greyhound has brought more passengers in and out of Penticton than our airport has, yet the airport gets all the credit. If you wish to get downtown Vancouver it is probably quicker to take the bus since there is no need to be there until a few minutes before boarding and you arrive centrally in Vancouver. Not only that but it goes rain or shine. We find that it is much preferable to flying or driving. Our car stays in our heated storage rather than sit out in the rain, and getting around Vancouver is easier by cab, Translink or on foot than looking for parking. Rather than criticize the depot or the equipment (both of which operate without government aid, unlike the airport) our mayor should be encouraging citizens to have a second look at this alternative. It is Greyhound that stitches this province together. No other alternative to the car exists. I find it scary that our mayor, head of our regional district and would-be candidate for MLA to Victoria, speaks so definitely about a subject that he probably has never used. If you agree, let City Hall know. William J. Titheridge Penticton

Project a success

What a wonderful community we live in. On Oct. 13, 25 residents of Penticton and area took time out from their busy schedules to voluntarily plant 350 native trees and shrubs along Penticton Creek. This followed on the heels of

over 50 Grade 7 students from McNicoll Park Middle School who planted over 100 trees and shrubs in the same location the day before. Thank you as well to Penticton Home Hardware for their donation of gloves for all the volunteers and to Jack’s Java Stop for providing complimentary coffee to keep us warm on Saturday. Special thanks to the city’s Parks Department who supported us every step of the way. This well-used recreational corridor continues to looks better and better with every project, and the additional plants will be of great benefit to the local wildlife.

Global financial system on the verge of collapse You wouldn’t know it by watching the mainstream media or listening to political and economic leaders talk about the need for growth and recovery, but the global financial system is finished and the world is in for a painful prolonged economic collapse. Ah the joys of globalism. What most people don’t realize is derivatives — which are financial instruments used to hedge risks or for speculation, which are derived from stocks, bonds, loans, currencies and commodities — were at the centre of the financial crisis of 2008. It was intervention by governments worldwide in the form of bailouts that staved off collapse in 2008, but since then world leaders have done nothing to negate the threat posed by the speculative trading in derivatives, they have actually allowed it to expand. The derivatives bubble is pegged somewhere between 600 trillion and a quadrillion dollars and

hangs over the global economy like the sword of Damocles. To put it into perspective, the entire economic output of the whole planet equals about $60 trillion a year. Most of the financial institutions that run the system of global trade and finance are major players in the derivatives market, and given the size of the bubble, are massively over-leveraged and pose systemic risk to the globalized economy. When and how this bubble bursts is anyone’s guess. I would wager that Spain will default and accelerate the interrelated Eurozone and banking crisis. As the crisis spreads panic and fear across other vulnerable Eurozone countries, it will likely set off a ‘Minsky moment’ in the financial world where over-leveraged speculators in the banking and shadow banking system are forced to unwind positions into a one-sided sellers market. Once this happens the crisis will reach a tipping point

SALE STARTS WEDNESDAY!

where there is nothing governments and central banks can do to stop the panic that drives the market down and the collapse will be well underway. While this all may sound theoretical and abstract, when this bubble bursts it will have a very immediate impact on everything from pensions to the supply of fuel and that’s the real scary part. People walk into the grocery store, gather what they need, swipe a card and they have food, 99.9 per cent of which comes from somewhere else, never stopping to consider the interconnectedness, complexity and fragility of the system. Think about the physical transportation of goods (ships, planes, trucks, trains) as gears on a machine (the global economy), now think of finance as the grease. What happens when you don’t grease the gears on a machine? It seizes up and in this case the result will be empty shelves at the grocery store.

If the financial institutions that underpin the world economy collapse, there will be no credit to grease the gears of global trade. Ships will not leave port, planes will not leave the airport, trucks will sit idle and trains will not leave the yard. No goods will move, and as trade collapses, factories and businesses will close, communications will become impaired, social and government panic will lead to social and political unrest. World leaders had a chance to nip this in the bud in 2008 and chose to leave the conditions for an economic collapse intact, now those conditions have grown in size and severity. Think about that the next time you read a news story about Mr. Harper signing these secret free trade agreements, further integrating you and I into a system that’s about to collapse.

Helping women live their dreams

The Women’s Opportunity Awards program assists women who provide the primary source of financial support for their families by giving them the resources they need to improve their education, skills and employment prospects. Each year more than $1.5 million is awarded to more than 1,000 women, many of whom have overcome enormous obstacles including poverty, domestic violence and/or drug and alcohol abuse. Women’s Opportunity Award recipients may use the cash award to offset any costs associated with their efforts to attain higher education, such as books, child care, tuition and transportation. In addition to providing the primary financial support for their families, eligible applicants must be enrolled in, or have been accepted to a vocational/skills training program or an undergraduate degree program and must demonstrate financial need. The Women’s Opportunity Awards program involves three levels of cash awards. The program begins at the local Soroptimist club level. The local level award recipient becomes eligible for a regional level award. Regional level award recipients then become eligible to receive one of three international level awards. Since the Women’s Opportunity Awards program began in 1972, about $30 million has been disbursed to assist tens of thousands of women achieve their dreams of a better life for themselves and their families. The Soroptimist Club of Osoyoos is accepting applications from women in the Thompson/Okanagan/ Kootenays until Dec. 1, 2012. For further information and online application go to: www.soroptimist.org “Women’s Opportunity Award” or contact Kate Krist, WOA chairperson, at 250-498-3833, Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. or speak to any Soroptimist member if you have questions. This year, Soroptimist was honoured to award $10,000 to three outstanding, strong, hard-working women. One of those women is Dawn Johnson of B.C. Congratulations, Dawn.

Move the monument

The cheapest and most immediate improvement of the waterfront on Lakeshore Drive would be a removal of the massive concrete slab erected at the most prominent location in honour of individuals who donated some money for a paved walkway along the lake in the last century, outdated by now. No one ever stopped by to contemplate the countless names engraved into this wall, of people who were not war heroes, just nice citizens, who by now mostly rest in the local cemetery. This monster sitting at the waterfront of Okanagan Lake obstructs the view from Winnipeg Street and creates an annoying barrier for all the walking traffic (mothers with baby coaches, people with walking aides) not to mention what an eyesore it is. Relocating it would feel like taking off a shoe that hurts your heel. G. Honzik Penticton

Twaaaang. It’s the opening chord to the Beatles song a Hard Day’s Night that has been a debate among die-hard fans and musicologists for years. On Friday, the audience at the South Okanagan Events Centre will get their shot to decide if Experience The Beatles with Rain have it right. “We have been messing with that as well. I just play a G over a D bass chord fifth. I have no idea what they do on the guitar,” said Mac Ruffing who plays Paul McCartney in the show. “There could be some piano on there. It is just so awesome. That song is in the show so you’ll hear it.” It was three years ago, Mac Ruffing got a call to audition for Rain in Philadelphia. A few days later he found out he was chosen to play Paul and went out on the road for weeks just watching and learning about the show. Now he has over 200 shows under his mop top. But the Beatles catalogue of music is no stranger to him. Ruffing played in another Beatles band that travelled around, on a much smaller scale for years. But with his day job being a land surveyor/engineer and with the economy drying up, Rain poured in just at the right time. The passion for the Beatles came to him as a toddler. His older teenage sisters were struck with Beatlemania and it was passed onto him. As a teenager he first learned to play the drums, and one day just happened to come across something special in a Cleveland music store. Whether it was fate or not, the musician fell in love with a Hofner violin-shaped bass like the one Paul McCartney used with the Beatles and still uses today. Later in life he crossed paths with another Hofner while he was in Japan and, on a whim, bought it. And just like McCartney’s Hofner, this bass was left-handed, posing a dilemma for the righty Ruffing. “It took about six months before I could

even do a show. I stood in front of a full length mirror, because it is all just a mirror image of what a right-handed player does, and it is just getting your hands to do what they are supposed to do. That is how I started playing the bass and picked up on the Beatles records and learning the parts,” said Ruffing. He still hasn’t switched over on the guitar, smaller strings and having to put together chords makes that a little more tricky. “I see people scratching their heads sometimes, wondering what is going on with me. It’s kind of funny,” said Ruffing. McCartney is Ruffing’s favourite because of his voice and songwriting skills, but he said nothing compares to the unique combination of the four Beatles. “Their music is timeless and still stands up 50 years later since Love Me Do came out,” said Ruffing.

found near the old Bellevue Trestle. “It is hunting season and a lot of guys are going out in the bush, so we are wanting them to keep an eye out for any signs of his whereabouts or any items of clothing that may resemble what he was wearing,” said Const. Kris Clark. RCMP and search crews have combed the area near the Adra Tunnel and where Hermakin’s truck was located, but were unsuccessful. Clark said they received a couple of tips on Hermakin’s possible whereabouts, but those were ruled out. Now, after six months, Clark said he hopes a fan-out by RCMP might refresh some memories and maybe result in some sort of lead. “Usually what happens when we send something like this out we get a few people calling with tips. There will be lots of people going into that area for hunting or what have you so it is good to refresh everyone’s memory,” said Clark. Hermakin is described as Caucasian, five-footnine, 185 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. He has a scar on his nose as well as both ears. The 49-year-old man was under medical care and requires medication for his condition. He was last seen wearing a white and green striped dress shirt with blue jeans.

Teen given probation for gun Kristi Patton Western News Staff

A Penticton teen has been sentenced to probation after pleading guilty for being in possession of a stolen firearm. “Had you been an adult it would have been three years hard time in a federal penitentiary and the only difference is a matter of months,” said Judge James Threlfall. The male teen, who cannot be named because of a publication ban, appeared at the Penticton courthouse on Monday and pled guilty to breaking and entering, possession of a weapon and possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm with ammunition. He received two years probation, including a year of intensive support and supervision. Crown counsel Debra Drissell said a resident in the Quebec Street area heard gunshots outside

their home on March 10. The resident called RCMP after they saw two males pressuring a female to shoot a handgun, yelling at her to “fire it” and to “hurry up.” After questioning a group of youths, RCMP found a .357 magnum Smith and Wesson revolver in a pocket inside a male teen’s jacket along with an empty liquor bottle. An empty gun case and loose ammunition was also recovered by RCMP on the teen’s kitchen table. During questioning of the youths, RCMP were told the accused had taken the gun to school. The friends said the teen had showed the gun to them there and it had been stored in his school locker since he stole it. Police were told the teen broke into a garage to smoke some weed about three weeks earlier and that is where he stole the gun from.

The youths told RCMP the teen had been unusually angry recently and was extremely upset that his friend had been kicked out of school. They also said the teen had indicated his intentions was to “pop all the principals at the school.” Crown counsel said there were also allegations of a similar nature that were left on the telephone answering service at the school, although charges weren’t pursued. Defence counsel said the teen was not responsible for those comments. One of the teen’s friends said they were also shown bullet holes at the Lions Park concession doors that the teen bragged about creating the night before by shooting into the heavy metal doors. The Crown said RCMP did inspect the doors and confirmed they were bullet holes. The friends also told RCMP they were afraid the teen would kill himself with the gun, and when they tried to take the revolver away, the teen said he would kill his friend if he did that. The teen has a number of conditions on his probation including a curfew, not to be at the high school he had been attending, no contact with the principals and 30 hours of community service work. The judge said if he does well with the intensive supervision portion of his probation he could come back to appeal some of the conditions.

From Love to ForFeit band member Brennen Forster signed autographs and talked with kids from Kvr school after their performance and presentation on oct. 24 with Live Different about making positive choices in life.

Students gain new perspective At 19 years old, Penticton’s Brittany Apolzer can reflect on the very moment her life was saved. Facing the challenges that many kids do and feeling bullied by her peers, the then 12-yearold Apolzer reluctantly went with her middle school to Penticton Secondary School for a Live Different presentation. “I don’t even know if I would be living today if I hadn’t seen that,” she admits. “It was incredibly inspiring. I was at the lowest point in my life. I felt abused and that everyone was picking on me. I took their jokes so personal and it just broke me down at such a young age.” Then a spark was ignited in Apolzer. Hearing speakers from Live Different talking about their

own challenges and how their lives changed by making a difference in a Third World country gave her a new outlook. “It instantly gave my life a sense of purpose,” she said. Fundraising and saving money to go on the Hero Holiday trip for two years until she was old enough to join, Apolzer was rejuvenated. The trips involve building schools, houses, medical clinics and more to help Third World communities entrenched in poverty and exploitation. “It reached a whole other level of change in my life again when I actually went on the trip and saw people living in Third World conditions and being able to help,” said Apolzer. Last Wednesday, she was completing the circle of her journey, speaking at KVR Middle School about her experiences

with the Live Different group who brought live music and shared true personal stories. “Every show we do, I think there is a little Brittany out in that crowd that needs to hear my story,” said Apolzer. Live Different team leader Johnny Henderson said this presentation’s goal is ultimately to empower the students, focus on equality and show them that their life has value. “I think because we show a vulnerability, open up about our personal stories and keep a certain energy, we really connect with the students,” said Henderson. “It shows them that what they are going through isn’t weird and that they can make a difference in their lives.” The KVR students flocked to the speakers and band members after the show, looking for autographs, to have their

photos taken with them and just the opportunity to speak one-on-one with them. Visible proof that what was said over the hour-long presentation made an impression. “I thought they were very inspiring and it will help me in my life with things I have been going through and I will be able to share that with friends,” said Grade 8 student Abigail Teichroeb. “Hearing all the speakers’ stories really made an impact because some of those things people I know are going through too.”

Tips to avoid a Halloween scare Western News Staff

On average about 10 people are injured in 50 crashes in the Southern Interior on Halloween night. With trick-or-treaters flooding the streets tonight, ICBC and RCMP are asking parents and drivers to use extra caution and plan ahead to keep children safe on Halloween. Parents are asked to look over their children’s costumes, especially if they are a dark colour, to make sure they will be visible at night. One solution is to buy reflective tape to add to the outfit and children’s shoes or bags. Children should be reminded to not use their cellphone or listen to their iPod while walking around. Parents can help children going out by themselves to plan a route ahead of time, keeping them off the busy main roads. ICBC reminds drivers that children are likely caught up in the excitement of Halloween and may forget the rules of the road. They suggest drivers slow down and be especially alert in residential areas. Children also may have limited visibility while wearing masks and costumes so don’t assume they see vehicles approaching. ICBC also suggests taking extra care when exiting and entering driveways and

alleys as well as watching for trickor-treaters when backing up. The Penticton Fire Department is also warning the public about using fireworks. According to a City of Penticton bylaw, no person can manufacture, discharge, sell or dispose of any fireworks within the city, including your own property, unless they have a permit issued by the fire chief. Jody Fotherby, operations assistant with the Penticton Fire Department, said each year fireworks cause serious injuries requiring emergency room treatment. She said fireworks can cause severe burns, with severe harm to the eyes, head and hands. And don’t forget about your pets. All those weird loud noises as well as the little people traffic in and out of your home can be upsetting to your pet and can even lead to harm. “Fireworks going off, a constantly ringing doorbell and the presence of costumed strangers can all cause animals to panic, putting both pets and people in danger,” said Lorie Chortyk, B.C. SPCA general manager of community relations. When dogs and cats are frightened they are more likely to run away from their homes, jump out of open windows or dart into traffic.

Stressed pets can also behave out of character — even scratching or biting people, said Chortyk. It’s not only companion animals that are at risk. “Frightened farm animals have even been known to run into barbed-wire fences or other obstructions. With a little planning, guardians can take steps to keep their all their animals safe on Halloween,” said Chortyk. The B.C. SPCA said some pets do well left in a separate room with the radio or television on to mask the sound of fireworks and trickor-treaters. Be sure to leave plenty of toys in the room for your pet so they don’t think they are being isolated for punishment. Make sure your pet is wearing identification in case they do run away. Chortyk said it is natural to want to comfort your pet, but avoid saying things like “It’s OK,” or “Don’t be scared” in a soft or sympathetic voice. This will only reinforce your pet’s fearful behaviour. Make sure you keep candy away from your pets, especially chocolate which is toxic to dogs and cats. Chortyk also suggests leaving your pet at home if you are going out trick-or-treating. The strange sights and sounds of Halloween can cause a normally friendly dog to bite if it feels scared or threatened.

Brewster back to defend Continental Cup Special to Western News

The future of men’s curling in Scotland appears to be in very good hands with Tom Brewster. His team has stepped up to carry the torch ignited by David Murdoch, a two-time gold medalist at the Ford World Men’s Curling Championship. Brewster has been hammering at the door the past two seasons with emotional losses in the championship ﬁnals of the 2011 Ford World Men’s Curling Championship and the 2012 Capital One Men’s Curling Championship. At the 2011 Ford World Men’s in Regina, the Scots faced a red-hot Canadian crew skipped by Jeff Stoughton with top spot on the podium at stake. Last year, the ﬁnal went to an extra end before Canada’s Glenn Howard wrestled away the gold medal in Basel, Switzerland. The personable Scottish skip, along with teammates Greg Drummond, Scott Andrews and Michael Goodfellow, got a taste of victory as part of the Team World contingent that bested their North American counterparts in the eighth edition of the 2012 World Financial Group Continental Cup of Curling in Langley. It was a pressure-

packed win that evened the international showdown at four championships apiece. After launching his competitive career on a high note with a 1995 World Junior Men’s Curling Championship gold medal, Brewster competed for several years in the shadows of international heavyweights such as Murdoch, Hammy McMillan and Warwick Smith. His next opportunity to experience the heat of international competition came in 2002 as an alternate for Smith in the Ford World Men’s Curling Championship. The native of St. Andrews presently plays out of Curl Aberdeen, one of the premiere facilities in the community that is coincidentally known as “The Granite City.” As manager for Curl Aberdeen, Brewster understands all the intricacies of the ice — and he’s undoubtedly hoping that will be the case when he heads to South Okanagan Events Centre, Jan. 10 to 13 for the rematch between Team World and Team North America at the 2013 World Financial Group Continental Cup. “You Gotta Be There” to see the biggest names compete for one of the most entertaining championships.

Province backtracks on wine donations Steve Kidd Western News Staff

Not-for-profits and the wine industry didn’t have long to wait for the province to reverse its stand on a ruling that saw the B.C. Liquor Control and Licensing Branch cracking down on charities that use donated wine for their fundraisers. Last week a chill ran through non-profits around the province when Victoria’s Belfry Theatre cancelled its fine wine auction and gala dinner after the LCLB barred them from auctioning any privately donated wines at their fundraiser. On Friday, Rich Coleman, the minister of energy, mines and natural gas, said the province was taking another look at the situation and would take a common sense approach, allowing nonprofit organizations to conduct fundraising using gift baskets or similar items that have liquor as one of its components. The law will be permanently clarified by legislative changes at a later date. Auctioning off donated wines is nothing new; fundraising auctions of all levels rely on local wineries to donate product, which often fetches a substantial price for the group’s drive. Losing the ability to include such products would have been a major blow. John Skinner, owner

of Painted Rock Winery, said the decision to bar wine from fundraisers was about the letter of the law. “They are nitpicking in a way that is against the common good and common sense,” said Skinner. “The charities have found a way so they don’t have to knock on government’s door, so they should be embracing it. They just don’t get it. “To me the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing. They have people within the ministry in licensing that don’t get the bigger picture. It’s so counterproductive.” Current B.C. laws require anyone who sells liquor to be licensed and for the liquor sold under that licence to be purchased from the Liquor Distribution Branch or another approved outlet, such as a B.C. winery. Charities that wish to

fundraise using only liquor, without other items as a primary component of a basket, will have to wait until new legislation is in place. For those organizations, a special occasion licence will continue to be required and the liquor will have to be purchased through the Liquor Distribution Branch. “From time to time, we find outdated liquor policies that may have been relevant at a particular time in history but don’t work today,” said Coleman. “Our goal is to get rid of these outdated liquor laws that unnecessarily restrict British Columbians and to regulate alcohol responsibly in the process.” The ability to donate wine to a fundraiser, said Skinner, benefits everyone. Painted Rock, he said, isn’t alone in donating wine to help what they consider worthy causes.

“We are solicited like crazy to participate in just about every charity. We have to pick them very closely, so we do things that are near and dear to our heart,” he said. “I think most of the other wineries are like mine. We are selling a product to this community and we all want to be attached to it faithfully. It’s all about giving back.” Skinner likens the current situation to the period immediately after Bill C-311 was passed, lowering federal barriers on shipping wine between provinces. “They came out with some atrocious policies, and then they realized that was a gaffe,” said Skinner, adding that Coleman

quickly modified those policies as well. “I have to give him full credit. He’s the guy who stepped up and showed leadership with Bill C-311 and he reversed that policy. They’d made a mistake, and man, did he step in and do a good thing.” In this case, Skinner said he has confidence the province is going to see the error of their ways. But Skinner is also a director of Modernize Wine, advocating that the ministry consult more with the wine industry. There are a lot of outdated policies, he said, and they want to help the government straighten them out in ways that show common sense.

Why encourage conservation?

Find a gas contractor

When you lower your energy consumption there is less demand on utility infrastructure and that helps to keep rates lower and reduces impact on the environment.
