GRANDSON GUILTY OF ATTACK Kristi Patton
Western News Staff
Justice Alison Beames did not believe the tale of self-defence told by the man accused of violently beating his grandfather in Penticton. Because of the “grievous bodily harm” inflicted to the grandfather, Beames said self-defence was no defence for Greg Ailles. “I reject his explanation of what happened,” said Beames. “I don’t accept that the accused was attacked out of the blue by the grandfather, or at all.” Ailles was found guilty of aggravated assault, two counts of unlawful confinement or imprisonment, a lesser charge of assault, possession of a firearm contrary to order and a lesser charge of theft under $5,000. Ailles testified on Tuesday that his grandfather, Grant (Sandy) Ailles, was the one that sparked a frenzied assault on Dec. 29, 2008 and
he was simply trying to defend himself. The grandfather, who was left blind and confined to a wheelchair after the assault, had little memory of the incident and could not offer much in terms of evidence when he took the stand last week. His injuries were so severe he vomited blood that had drained from the fractures in his face, had nine fractured ribs, his eyeball was ruptured and he spent almost 60 days in hospital recovering — 10 of those in intensive care. This left only one other person who witnessed the attack, the grandmother Lois Ailles. She died in 2009 of cancer before she could testify in court. Justice Beames allowed audio and video recorded statements taken by police from the grandmother to be admissible. Beames found an audio statement gathered by RCMP shortly after they arrived on scene at the grandparents’ residence on Balfour Avenue to be the best account. Lois said she had heard what sounded like an argument or a fight com-
ing from downstairs and went to check on her husband who was calling out for her. “Clearly what she actually saw was a oneperson assault, not a fight,” said Beames in her judgment. Greg Ailles testified he was only trying to get away from his grandfather’s attack and used as little force as he could. He denied ever hitting the then 75-year-old old man with any object. According to Ailles, his grandfather landed several punches and blows to his face, which left him with a possible broken nose and a fractured hand. Beames said police photos show few, if any, injuries to the accused, and a radiologist found nothing wrong with his hand. Paramedics who attended to the grandfather noted severe redness and marks to his torso and legs, injuries they said could only have come from some sort of object like a pipe or bat. But that alone was not enough for Beames to determine guilt on the assault with a weapon charge,

! Limited time only
as no DNA could be pulled from the pipe found in the basement, with that charge being stayed. The grandmother said the couple were tied up with electrical cords their grandson found in the basement before he fled, taking their car, three guns and some cash. Greg said he did tie his grandfather up, but only to prevent him from continuing his attack. He also said it was done with the assistance of his grandmother. “It is unbelievable that Lois Ailles would have helped tie up her own husband,” said Beames. The judge was not satisfied with the evidence of robbery, finding the 38-year-old not guilty on that count. He has been in custody since he was arrested a day after the attack. Crown counsel Bill Hilderman submitted an application that a dangerous offender assessment be conducted over the next 45 days. A court date has been set of Jan. 3, 2013 to find out if the assessment is complete and to fix a date for sentencing.

Search and rescue rolls out new team Mark Brett Western News Staff
In search and rescue, getting there is much more than half the battle. According to those who do the work, in emergency situations response time is often critical. That was one of the main reasons Dino Giurissevich of Penticton Search and Rescue decided to form a mountain-biking team to augment the existing resources. “This way we can get to somebody a lot faster than walking and get into areas where the quads can’t get and without the noise so we can hear somebody calling for help or hear us calling them,” said Giurissevich, a trail rider for nearly 30 years. “It’s just a lot more efficient and much better to find people before dark because it gets a lot tougher after that. This just gives us another tool in our arsenal to help people in distress.” Mountain bikes have been employed by local members using personal equipment but Giurissevich envisions a time when it has a fleet of its own to improve response times even more. “I just thought this is something that was needed here, especially with the terrain and amount of trails we have, not only for bikers but hikers as well,” he said. Giurissevich added the recent
deaths of two local mountain bikers in the region known as Three Blind Mice were unusual, however in this particular activity, accidents are not “That’s actually what got me going in search and rescue in the first place, because a few of my friends had injuries and I thought well I’m in this situation why don’t I volunteer to help people out a little more,” said Giurissevich, who is patterning his team after one that is part of the Calgary Search and Rescue agency. “There is a certain protocol for doing searches. It’s not like zipping down the trail really quickly, it has to be a lot more methodical because in the bush it is a lot easier to miss something. I even remember one situation where we had a hunter who was wearing camouflage.” He is looking for experienced, skilled riders capable of tackling the most difficult terrain while being able to detect important signs like partial tracks, or seeing a small piece of clothing among the brush. There is also the added bonus of using bikes within the city limits, when it comes to locating children or people suffering from dementia. Presently there are four members on the team but Giurissevich is hoping the current membership drive will increase the number. He is also hoping in the fu-
ture to generate interest among the business sector to supply the needed equipment and already the group has had a donation of a four-bike, automobile rack from Penticton-based firm Swagman. Not surprisingly, search manager Cindy Smith welcomes the addition of the team. “This is going to be a really valuable resource to us, particularly because of our coverage area,” she said. “We’ve been working on this for about a year now and it will help us be much more effective.” Smith is also hoping the recruitment campaign will encourage more people to become members, pointing to the wide range of opportunities. “That includes everything from out in the field, management or working with mapping and administration,” she said. “Some people would need to be physically fit if they want to do some of the disciplines, but there are a lot of other options. We have had members from 18 years old to 80. “The main thing we are looking for are dedicated individuals who are open and willing to learn and are able to take direction.” Those interested in joining can pick up an application package at the hall located at 251 Dawson Ave., Mondays (except holidays) starting at 6:30 p.m. The completed forms must be returned by Dec. 15.

Suspended teacher felt pressured to take deal Joe Fries Western News Staff
An embattled Penticton teacher said he only admitted to three counts of professional misconduct to put the matter behind him and protect his family. Miko McGrady was originally cited for nine allegations of inappropriate conduct between December 2009 and June 2010 while teaching French immersion at Penticton Secondary School. He was then scheduled to meet with the B.C. Teacher Regulation Branch in midOctober for a nine-day disciplinary hearing, which was cancelled a few days prior when McGrady admitted to the three incidents and accepted a two-week suspension. The suspen-
sion was made public Oct. 30 and a case summary was released Nov. 7. McGrady said in an interview Thursday that he felt pressured by the TRB and his union-appointed lawyer to take the deal and avoid the hearing. “I said, ‘Well, I don’t like the idea of that, but if it means it protects my family and it’s kept out of the media, I’ll sign it. And I said it under the condition that all those other allegations are thrown out, which are outrageous.” The next day, the TRB posted on its website the original allegations, said McGrady, adding the claims were brought forward by a single female student who had an axe to grind. “I think that she disliked me, but I think more importantly than that, she had such poor
attendance that she was trying to find a way to pass by throwing me under the bus.” The most serious of McGrady’s admitted misconduct was making a homophobic remark in French to an openly gay student, but it was misconstrued, and “I didn’t intend to hurt his feelings or to bully him or to put him down in any way,” McGrady explained. The student had just turned in a quiz with nothing written on it besides something “along the lines of, ‘I hate French,’” McGrady said, adding he was so disappointed he responded by telling the student his quiz answer was like McGrady saying he doesn’t like gay people. “I was a little upset so I said it quickly and I said it in French and he may have missed out on the part where I said: ‘That would be like me saying.’”
McGrady also admitted to allowing students to leave class during instructional time to visit a nearby convenience store, but he said it was common practice at the school, which had an open-campus policy, and he only did so if the students’ work was complete and marked. Finally, the teacher admitted to speaking with students about a notice of investigation he received from his employer about the allegations, but said the discussion was initiated by students who were going to be interviewed as part of the probe. McGrady, who will return to his classroom at KVR Middle School on Nov. 19, said he’s grateful for the support he has received from students, parents and other teachers.

Sting snares luring suspect Kristi Patton Western News Staff
A former casual employee of the Okanagan Skaha School District is on trial this week in Penticton on charges of luring a child. Stephen Hughes, who was a Summerland resident at the time of his arrest on June 17, said in a video recorded statement taken by the RCMP’s Integrated Child Exploitation Unit (ICE) that he knew he wasn’t online chatting with a 13-year-old girl in a Yahoo chat room and was expecting a knock on his door from the police someday. “I knew who I was talking to right from the beginning but you always push the envelope,” said Hughes in the video statement. “I took it way too far, I was playing with fire.” An RCMP constable working with the Surrey ICE unit created the persona Vicki Cooper, a 13-year-old girl who went by the screen name GorgeousVicki1998 when a conversation was initiated by Hughes. The chats between the two lasted months, before ICE members obtained a search warrant for Hughes’ residence and arrested him. The ICE team member, who preferred her name not be published as she does undercover work, said to
set up an online persona you have to be 18 years old but the age is not verified, other than the user clicking on a box saying they are that age. In the video statement she indicated Hughes had been told several times that the Vicki Cooper persona he was chatting with was a 13-yearold girl. She also said Hughes was counselling Vicki how to masturbate. The ICE constable told Hughes that the laws for luring a child are different in Canada than what might more commonly be known in the U.S. because of the Dateline program To Catch A Predator where busts are set up of adults meeting with teens after they have chatted online. In Canada, she said, when things turn sexual within a chat it is considered child luring and they do not have to physically meet. Hughes said he would never hurt a child and he knew the person he was chatting with wasn’t 13 years old because of what they were saying and the sentence structure they used. “I knew I was making a mistake when I started and I knew halfway through … I’m sorry to everyone,” said Hughes in the statement. Earlier this week defence counsel Emmet Duncan cross-examined the man’s wife who he is now separated from. During the questioning,
Judge Gale Sinclair heard that the couple had moved to Summerland from Slave Lake, away from Hughes’ family and friends. The wife said Hughes did not have any friends in Summerland, had lost self-confidence and grown lonely as she had worked long days while he sat waiting for work as a casual certified education assistant replacing those taking sick days or away for other reasons. She also said her husband was extremely stubborn when it came to researching a topic, or was out to prove something. Hughes said part of the reason he kept chatting with the person he knew as Vicki Cooper was that he liked that somebody would “pay a little attention” to him, and because he dealt with kids, that it was easy to talk to them because “they don’t judge.” Wendy Hyer, superintendent for the school district, told the Western News at the time of Hughes arrest that he had been hired late in the school year, had undergone a criminal record check and he was never in charge of class. Educational assistants provide instructions to students who require extra help learning tasks and work under the supervision of the classroom teacher. The trial is scheduled to wrap up today.
Business groups prepare for merger Steve Kidd Western News Staff
Penticton will soon have a single business improvement association representing the interests of downtown merchants when the Front Street Business Association merges with the Downtown Penticton Association. Barb Haynes, executive director of the DPA, said she has already been in conversations with members of the FSBA about the coming merger. “I have met with some of the Front Street members to take a look at what are some of their needs, what projects are they looking to complete or would like to move forward on,” said Haynes, adding that those projects will be incorporated into the DPA planning. “I am really excited about the opportunity to get to work with some of those amazing businesses. There are some great loca-
tions on Front Street.” Penticton council approved the merger this week, after receiving the results of a petition they initiated on Sept. 17, at the request of the FSBA. Of the 32 parcels in the Front Street area, 10 petitions were received against the merger, representing slightly more than 30 per cent of the assessed land value. “I am glad to see the business community in the downtown is united,” said Coun. Wes Hopkin. “I know there are some that might be worried about the loss of identity on Front Street and I am sure that is not a concern. It’s going to be still vibrant and made even more vibrant by the fact that they can work together and share resources and continue doing a fantastic job. ” Haynes said changing the unique feel of Front Street is not something the DPA would want.

EDITORIAL
For veterans, it’s a question of honour
O
n Sunday many of us will gather around cenotaphs and in city squares for solemn ceremonies paying tribute to Canada’s service men and women. We’ll hear words like sacrifice and honour, some of them uttered by politicians. But for some veterans they’ll ring hollow. In 2006, Parliament unanimously passed the New Veterans Charter that changed the way injured soldiers are compensated. Instead of a lifetime pension, indexed to inflation, veterans injured after that year, or who had their injury diagnosed since then, would get a lump sum settlement. But some injured veterans say Canadian soldiers injured in Afghanistan, and those suffering the lingering mental and emotional effects of their tour, are getting substantially less support than they would have received with the former indexed pension. A study by Queen’s University last year concluded most disabled soldiers will receive only two-thirds the compensation under the New Veterans Charter than they would have received from the old Pension Act. Recently Canada’s Auditor-General criticized the Canadian Forces and Veterans Affairs for their shoddy treatment of injured veterans, saying the system to get them help is “complex, lengthy and challenging to navigate.” Even in death, the indignities continue. A program that is supposed to contribute just over $3,600 to the funeral costs for destitute ex-soldiers has rejected more than two-thirds of fundPENTICTON WESTERN ing requests since 2006. Even when approved, that money is still less than some social services departments will pay towards the burial of the homeless. It’s one thing for Canada’s politicians to honour our veterans. It’s another to treat them with honour.

Climate change in Obama’s second term It’s hard to know how much impact New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s comments about climate change after Hurricane Sandy had on the U.S. election. It’s easy to overestimate that sort of thing, but President Barack Obama’s victory in several states was so razor-thin that Bloomberg’s last-minute intervention may have been decisive. What’s crystal clear is that Obama himself didn’t want to talk about it during the campaign. Bloomberg, responding to the devastation he saw in New York City, laid it on the line. “Our climate is changing. And while the increase in extreme weather we have experienced in New York City and around the world may or may not have been the result of it, the risk that it may be ... should be enough to compel all elected leaders to take immediate action.” The New York mayor, a former Republican, said this only five days before the election, in the immediate aftermath of a national calamity that may well have been climate-related. So did Obama pick up the ball and run with it? Certainly not. Apart from a one-liner about how climate change “threatens the future of our children” in a single speech, he remained stubbornly silent. Rightly or wrongly, Obama and his team have been con-
Gwynne Dyer
Dyer Straits vinced for the past four years that talking about climate change is political suicide. Nor did he actually do all that much: higher fuelefficiency standards for vehicles was his only major initiative. And Mitt Romney, of course, said not a word about climate change: you cannot take this problem seriously and retain any credibility in today’s Republican Party. So was all the instant speculation about how Hurricane Sandy might finally awaken Americans to the dangers of climate change just wishful thinking? Not necessarily. Obama faces a daunting array of problems as he begins his second term: avoiding the“fiscal cliff”, restraining Israel from attacking Iran, tackling the huge budget deficit, and getting U.S. troops out of Afghanistan. But the biggest problem facing every
country is climate change, and he knows it. Otherwise, he would never have appointed a man like John Holdren to be his chief scientific adviser. Holdren, a former president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, is one of the leading proponents of action on climate change. He is also savvy enough politically to understand why Obama couldn’t do much about it during his first term, and he didn’t flounce out in a rage when the president avoided that fight. Obama rarely start fights he cannot win, and it was clear from the day he took office in 2009 that he couldn’t get any climate-related legislation through Congress. That’s why his fuelefficiency initiative was his only first-term accomplishment on this front: that did not require legislation, and was done as a regulatory initiative by the Environmental Protection Agency. To what extent has his re-election changed this equation? Second-term U.S. presidents, who no longer have to worry about re-election, often act more boldly than in their first term. The U.S. economy is clearly in recovery mode, and Obama will (quite justly) get the credit for that. That will give him more leeway to act on other issues, and the environmental disasters of the past year may finally be pushing American
public opinion towards a recognition that the threat of climate change is real. It has long been argued that what is needed to penetrate the American public’s resistance to the bad news of climate change is a major climate-related disaster that hurts people in the United States. Even if Sandy may not have been a direct consequence of global warming, it fills that bill. It may get the donkey’s attention at last. There is no guarantee of that, and each year the risk grows that the average global temperature will eventually rise by over two degrees C and topple into uncontrollable, runaway warming. Moreover, the Republicans still control the lower house of Congress. But hope springs eternal, and at last there is some. The past two weeks have seen an unexpected and promising conjunction of events: a weather event that may shake the American public’s denial of climate change, and the re-election of a president who gets it, and who is now politically free to act on his convictions. As Businessweek (a magazine owned by Michael Bloomberg) put it on last week’s cover: “It’s global warming, stupid.” Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

“The Fear Of Outliving Their Money, Causes Stress For Retirees”
Seniors given a rough ride I am in my elder years, unable to walk much, but can use my “open air Cadillac” which is my fourwheel, battery-powered scooter. First, I want to thank the city workers for ensuring I can cross roads and get back to the safety of sidewalks with the sloped curb accesses. But I have to ask for just a little more to aid us older folk who have to use scooters. First, many of the older sidewalks are badly deteriorated, extremely rough and hard to steer over the ridges between panels. Could these edges be ground down a little? It would make such a difference. The roadways in many cases are smoother, but dangerous to drive along and I would hate becoming a bumper ornament or having my scooter scratch the side of some nice car driven by a driver who doesn’t see me.
Hospice builds support
The Desert Valley Hospice Society will be holding its annual wine and cheese event — Celebration of Caring Hands wine and cheese silent auction — on Nov. 24, at 7 p.m. at the Christ the King Catholic Church Hall in Oliver. The church has generously donated the hall for the evening. The event has moved venues this year to accommodate increased ticket sales as last year we were unable to meet the attendance interest. The support the society receives from businesses, individual donors and attendees in the Oliver and Osoyoos communities is essential to the success of the event — and as always the community is responding in very generous ways. This year’s host winery is Hidden Chapel and again, both SuperValu and BuyLow have helped out with food vouchers from all the donated sales slips from hospice society and other community members. Willowbrook Catering will be providing the delicious appetizers and this year we’ll have a special chocolate fountain — for those with a sweet tooth. The goal this year is to again raise over $10,000 to support the volunteer and many other activities of the society as we work to realize our vision of supporting excellence in the delivery of end of life care.
Also, the transition between the blacktop and the concrete is often left with an edge that the scooter has a rough time getting up on when crossing the streets. Second, I am fortunately able to drive from near Wal-Mart all the way along the Channel Parkway to the community pool. Cars often stop on the side of the road, and when pulling out into traffic bring a lot of small gravel onto the bike lane road shoulder — and that is where I drive. The pebbles make driving a challenge. I, and others who are also mobility challenged, would appreciate having the sweeper occasionally clear the road shoulder.

Pedestrians in peril
What has to happen before someone sits up and takes notice of the death trap at the bottom of Pineview Hill? I cannot count the number of times I have been sitting in my car on South Main Street, my signal on, waiting to turn left up Pineview, when some impatient person has deked around me on the right to pass, and almost hit a pedestrian who was crossing on the crosswalk in front of me. There have been more heart-stopping moments than I can count. Last winter it actually happened: I saw a small, elderly gentleman get hit by a car doing this very thing. He flew through the air, his shoes going in various directions. He was knocked unconscious and some of us sat with him for what seemed like an eternity as he lay there on the road, bleeding from the head. I left as soon as the emergency responders arrived, but I don’t think he made
it because the area was taped off long into the night. Can someone please see my letter and get us a pedestrian crossing light at this intersection? It’s not a matter of if it will happen again, it’s a matter of when.

One of the biggest fears for many retirees is the real possibility of running out of money during their retirement years.

Worrying about money is the #1 cause of retiree stress and keeps many retirees from really enjoying their retirement years.

Service should come before salaries In response to William J. Titheridge and with all due respect to him, although I am not a fan of his city’s mayor, I find I must come to the mayor’s defence (how ghastly!). How dare you, William, assume that the mayor has never rode on nor knows anything about Greyhound and its service or lack thereof? The mayor may be out of touch with the community he represents, but surely he is no idle, big talking, silver-spoon-in-mouth wastrel? I am sure that even the lightly esteemed mayor may actually have plunked down hard cash or soft credit for a ticket on that luxurious dream ride, the Greyhound. To be fair, I have little or no complaints about Greyhound aside from having to wait in a cold terminal in Vancouver for the bus to arrive (about an hour or so), but let me assure you readers, William and Greyhound, that there are people who apparently have very good cause to complain about the lack of service on Greyhound, about the antiquated and breaking down buses that are in use. There are apparently lots of reasons to complain, whether or not Greyhound is actually aware of them, and although the company may not have in the past
Another Remembrance
This special day is sad for me, I cannot reflect on a family tree. Words “lest we forget” were meant for thee, the words are branded into me. Newcomers to the world that don’t understand this day, listen carefully to what the veterans say. Remember this as you pray, without giving there would be no today. Hopefully war stays out of sight, along with eerie sounds of machines that smite. Not long ago the worldly wheel was spinning, talk of war with no one winning. The sounds of a gone-by era were gathering speed, free countries pulled together in a time of need. This war will be different from ones gone by; nuclear bombs guided by satellites beyond the sky. In the end with all this power, God will judge and man will cower. Through the storms and winds of time, Mother Nature will get rid of slime. Tom Isherwood Olalla
Democracy in doubt
I am most concerned about the deterioration of democracy in Canada. Firstly our prime minister is becoming more and more dictatorial. He prorogues Parliament whenever he is in political difficulty. He had one mammoth bill passed without proper debate and I’m sure that we would find that the majority of the
come “hat in hand” begging for help, it doesn’t excuse them doing so now and more so threatening the public with a removal of service if the government doesn’t play ball. I’ve already advised Greyhound of their crime against this community, though I don’t think they noticed my message. Anyway, enough piling on the poor, overworked and overpaid mayor of Penticton. Stop doing that people, you should be kind to politicians, even if the politicians don’t seem to deserve your kindness. Perhaps, Greyhound, you might wish to look at all the waste and excess in your own backyard before crawling on hands and knees to beg for a boon from the mayor etc.? How about selling all the monitors and radios that you no longer use on your intercity trips? Putting in comfortable older chairs in place of the present ones? Getting your CEOs to accept a 10 per cent salary cut so that the money can be put to better use than filling the coffers of unimaginative and greedy executives? Patrick Longworth Okanagan Falls
Conservative members of Parliament, if properly questioned by the media, would be unable to claim that they were fully cognisant of all the legislation that was buried in the bill. And even in light of public concern over the first bill, his intention is to do the same with a second mammoth bill. However, my greatest concern is that the Canada-China Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA), signed on Sept. 8, 2012, is a sellout. I believe it should never have happened. Under FIPA, our natural resources are in danger of being plundered and I have to ask, are Canadians in favour of this? Shareholders have only one concern, and that is to make money. This has been demonstrated in the sell-off of International Nickel in Sudbury Ont. to Vale Canada Limited which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Brazilian mining company Vale. The same applies to similar mining operation sell-offs. An exception is Potash Corporation, in which case the premier of Saskatchewan dug in his heels and faced down the prime minister to prevent a hostile takeover, see the embedded link: http://www. jonesday.com/potash-corporationof-saskatchewan-successfully-defends-historic-431-billion-hostiletakeover-bid/. All of the above are a reflection of one man’s vision of how the country should be run and are in
blatant disregard of the democratic process. I believe the prime minister’s majority in Parliament, and the control he exercises over his party members, has turned our federal government into a dictatorship. I am particularly disappointed in our elected member who, it appears, is almost entirely reduced to disseminating Conservative party propaganda. John Gullick Penticton
Viable options needed
We need to replace the fossil fuel power plants, the primary source of greenhouse gas. Now. At a scale required to accomplish this task: ethanol starves people, not a viable option. Fracking releases methane, not a viable option. Cellulose bio fuel uses food land, not a viable option. Solar uses food land, not a viable option. Wind is intermittent, not a viable option. All human and agricultural organic waste can be converted to hydrogen, through exposure to intense radiation. The radioactive materials exist now, and the organic waste is renewable daily. Ending the practice of dumping sewage into our water sources. Air, water, food and energy issues receive significant positive impacts. Reducing illness and health care costs as well.

If the Mayans are right the world will come to end on Dec. 21, but if curator Paul Crawford is right the next six weeks at the Penticton Art Gallery will be amazing. “Should the world end on Dec. 21, 2012 we can rest assured that we went out in a creative blaze of glory. If it doesn’t end then we all went out and supported a great cause and it has turned into a bit of a fundraiser for the gallery, which we desperately need,” said Crawford. The End Of The World As We Know It exhibit is a an experiment for Crawford, who will be inviting around 60 artists to the gallery over the six weeks. It will be the larger amount of artists they have ever had in that time frame that are actively engaged. Despite the title, the exhibit is not focused on an apocalyptic end of the world. “I’m thinking we are here at the precipice of a real social shift and I wanted to explore that. Each artist was free to interpret that as they wish,” said Crawford. Looking to address the gap between generations, and in doing so build bridges of understanding and provide opportunities for community dialogue, Crawford came up with the concept. It is a six-week exhibition featuring unique artists collectives from across the province in music, visual arts, design, DJs, installations and workshops. Each weekend will feature a “happening” or event on the Friday from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. leading up to Dec. 21, whether that is a electronic music dance party, hip hop showcase, or visual artists. The gallery will be transformed each weekend to reflect the artist and explore different aspects of contemporary art, music and culture. This is followed up by workshops held on Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. addressing social issues, networking with artists and opportunities to learn and share knowledge. “The intent is to encourage open and honest community dialogue, while providing unique opportunities for our community’s artists and youth to receive mentoring and information on the pros and cons of participating in this cultural community,” said Crawford.

The penTicTon ArT GAllery mis hosting a six-week rotating exhibit called The End Of The World As We Know It, leading up to Dec. 21, 2012.
i’m thinking we are here at the precipice of a real social shift and i wanted to explore that. — Paul Crawford
The exhibition will build up to the End of the World Party, held on Dec. 21 from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. featuring Shane Philip. The musician juggles between shaking rhythms with world music instruments, sliding out grooves on his Weissenborn-style guitar while his foot taps in kicks. Philip’s musical stylings borrow from folk, reggae, blues and beyond. While the other exhibitions will be entrance by donation and open to all-ages, the final party will be a ticketed and licensed event as a fundraiser for the art gallery. A key part to the six-week event is that the art engages the audience so they also become part of the installation. “I want people to see that art doesn’t have to be boring or static. It can be engaging. We are all creative beings and I want everyone to come down and express themselves and feel comfortable in this environment,” said Crawford. Week one of the End of the World As We Know It exhibition features a multimedia extravaganza with live electronic music from ShaMANoid, Psyentifica,
J.A.DJ and Dubtecha. It will be followed on workshops of music production, VJing, DJing, info on starting up a record label, event/ festival organization and more. With support from the Vancouver Foundation, which provided a grant to the Penticton Art Gallery, Crawford was able to make the exhibition come to life. The Vancouver Foundation helps build more vibrant and resilient communities in B.C. “I hope our community will be richer and I hope it will encourage other people to step up and take a chance. This is an amazing town and we are awash in richness of amazing events held here. There are amazing little communities within the whole community and I would like to see everyone work together to create events to share ideas and knowledge,” said Crawford. “There is so much opportunity here but we need people to step outside their comfort zone because the rewards are so much greater when you do.” For a full list of the six-week event visit www.PentictonArtGallery.com.

Taylor & Howe
Reel Reviews
In feudal China, a shipment of the Governor’s gold, en route to the capital, arrives in a small, quiet village for temporary safe-keeping. Unfortunately for the townspeople, roaming gangs of thieves, a rogue British soldier and a mystical assassin all have their eyes on the prize. It’s up to a humble blacksmith to protect the village and fight for justice. We say The Man With The Iron Fists, is heavy on style, light on substance. TAYLOR: RZA (that’s his name,) is a rapper from the 90s. He was part of the Wu Tang Clan and Gravediggaz. He also had several small parts in TV shows and movies over the years. For some reason, someone thought he should make a terrible kung-fu movie and funded him. RZA and Eli Roth (Cabin Fever, Hostel) wrote the script, which took two years. When they made the film, it was originally four hours long. RZA cut it down to 90 minutes. It still sucked. So they asked if they could attach Quentin Tarantino’s name to the project. Thus, the film poster states above the title, “Quentin Tarantino Presents” although he had nothing to do with this turkey. HOWE: Woo, slow down Mr. Taylor, save some slagging it off for
me. Iron Fists feels and looks very sloppy; it jumps around too much, the fight scenes are so close up they become blurred, add the blood splashing around and it gets real messy quickly. The storyline is weak and the acting is terrible, even with the talent of Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu, it can’t be saved. TAYLOR: RZA loves Kung Fu movies, we get it, but I think his directing abilities are lacking. I guess we could refer to Iron Fists as a “successful attempt.” It has all the hallmarks of the classic 70s Bruce Lee pictures, including even specific scenes, like the room of mirrors. There was Crouching Tiger style wire work and crazy, over the top villains. However, the main villain is WWE wrestler Batista (a nonactor,) and the wire work is jerky and lazy. HOWE: But that was the point of it, to give it that B movie style. I did enjoy a couple of things in Iron Fist; Batista having the ability to turn into Brass Man (a bit like a comic book superhero) when things start getting rough, and the characters’ names, Gold Lion, the Blacksmith and the Gemini twins to name a few. But in the end I still found that 98 minutes was too long for this movie. If they had just cut it back just a little bit more, say cut another 96 minutes, I would of enjoyed it a whole lot more. Taylor gives The Man with the Iron Fists 1.5 garden hoses of blood out of five. Howe gives it two poison darts out of five. Brian Taylor and Peter Howe are movie reviewers from the Okanagan.

2010. Variety called Becky’s New Car, “a smart, comic cruise through the perils of middle-aged longing and regret.” Schneider said audience members near the front row should expect to be surprised. “Becky talks a lot to the audience- or as we say in the theatre, breaking the fourth wall. The stage has three walls and the audience being the fourth and if you talk directly to the audience that is breaking the fourth wall. Becky actually does that in several really unique and hilarious ways. It is very fun the way it is written,” said Schneider. The play stars Tammy Hansel as Becky and

If you have ever been tempted to flee your own life to escape the mundane, take a ride in Becky’s New Car with the Many Hats Theatre Company. The fifth play in their fifth season for the theatre group runs until Dec. 1 at the Cannery Stage in the Cannery Trade Centre on Fairview Road. In the comedy, which has serious overtones, Becky Foster is caught in middle age, middle management and in a middling marriage — with no prospects for change on the horizon. She is married, with one son in college and living a perfectly ordinary life.
Then one night a socially inept and grief-struck millionaire stumbles into the car dealership where Becky works. Becky is offered nothing short of a new life, and the audience is offered a chance to ride shotgun in a way that most plays wouldn’t dare. “The whole thing about the new car is that it is sort of a metaphor for getting a new life. It is the classic tale of the grass being greener on the other side, until you take bite of it,” said Ed Schneider, publicist for Many Hats Theatre Company. The play was written by Steven Dietz, an American playwright, who was named the most produced playwright in America in

Fruit co-op shakes up executive Steve Kidd Western News Staff
After four seasons of mediocre returns, a local fruit grower wasn’t surprised by a shake up in the top ranks of the Okanagan Tree Fruit Co-operative last week. Summerland grower Joe Sardinha thinks that given the frustration level in the industry, the termination of two top managers at the OTFC may have been inevitable. Last Thursday, Rob Dawson, a Kelowna grower and president of the co-op’s board of directors, notified OTFC CEO Gary Schiek that the board had approved a nonconfidence motion and his employment was terminated. Operations manager Rod Vint was terminated at the same time.
“That’s not to say Gary Schieck and Rod Vint weren’t committed to their positions,” said Sardinha, who thinks that grower frustration fuelled an outcry for a change in direction. That change in direction comes in the from of Alan Tyabji, who took over as CEO immediately. “He is no stranger to the industry,” said Sardinha. “He has a good solid background in co-op management and he is no stranger to B.C. Tree Fruits as well.” Tyabji had been manager of the Okanagan Similkameen Co-operative, which was amalgamated with three other valley tree fruit co-ops in 2008 to form the OTFC, which he led for a short time as CEO before leaving to pursue other interests. Tyabji will also be CEO of B.C. Tree
Fruits, which is part of the OTFC. “Whether or not these changes result in a better picture remains to be seen, but this year the market outlook is very positive, so we won’t see anything dramatic in terms of new management and what improvements are going to be made in that regard this year,” said Sardinha. “Alan has also said that this year is a bright spot and the true test of the changes that he wants to make is going to come next year and subsequent years” While the current market is setting itself up to be a good one, the pendulum may swing the opposite way next year.

It wasn’t Katie Henderson’s costume that got a rise from some Penticton residents this Halloween, but rather her unusual doorstep request. The 11-year-old girl, who went trick-or-treating in a clown outfit, surprised people when she asked not for candy but for non-perishable food items to help stock the shelves at the Salvation Army food bank. Henderson, a KVR Middle School student, said the idea came up during a presentation on leadership given to her Grade 6 class a day earlier. So with minimal time to prepare and a piano lesson to get through beforehand on Halloween night, she finally set out around 7:30 p.m. and collected 40 items on one block of Windsor Avenue. “It felt good,” she said, adding the canned goods were heavy. “I’m glad we had my dad to carry them around.” Her mom, Joyce Chen, said most people were bewildered at first but then happily rummaged through their cupboards to scare up donations. “They all made her stay and said, ‘We’ll find something for you, hang in there.’” Chen said. “And some people didn’t give one item, they gave a handful.’” Salvation Army program coordinator Barb Stewart said the donations, which were dropped off Saturday, weighed a total of 12 kilograms. “Every little bit helps,” said Stewart, who was particularly pleased to hear how Henderson

acted on her own. “She did this of her own accord; that’s the beautiful thing,” said Stewart. “It’s so beautiful to see young people in this community supporting what they know is a growing need.” Henderson’s next mission is raising awareness about the Kraft Food for Families campaign underway now. The company will donate 50 cents to the local food bank for each person who registers his or her name online at www.kraftfoodforfamilies.ca.
Schools showcased to Korean group Joe Fries Western News Staff
Efforts to attract more international students to the region will ramp up next week with the visit of a group of Korean placement agents. The agents, who are
associated with Chungbuk National University and looking to place up to 40 students in Grades 3-10 here in January, will be in Penticton on Monday and Tuesday to tour the community and local schools. “My goal over those
two days is to showcase the quality of education we can provide students, and to showcase our community and what the community has to offer,” Okanagan Skaha School District superintendent Wendy Hyer told trustees at the their regular

The challenge also breaks up the country into five regions and whichever food bank in each group registers the most names will receive a $5,000 bonus. As of Thursday morning, Penticton had earned $459, while a food bank in Nanaimo led the region with $1,522. The campaign runs until Dec. 31. Stewart said the money is earmarked for infrastructure needs, such as shelving or upgraded work tables. She added that Kraft this summer provided the food bank with $11,500 to buy a forklift.

board meeting Monday. Hyer, who will be joined by city representatives, said the district will play to its strengths. “While we can’t offer the big-city experience… we have a great community for the markets that are interested in enjoying the outdoors and getting top-quality educations,” she explained. During budget deliberations last spring, the board directed staff to explore expansion of the international student program as a potential new source of revenue. Tuition fees for fulltime international students are currently set at $11,700 per year. The district has about $25,000 to get its expanded program off the ground.

santa draws a crowd Mark Brett
Western News Staff
Shoppers by the thousands turned up last weekend at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre for the craft fair of the season. And as usual, the annual Santa Presents event did not disappoint. “Wow, I don’t know where to begin,” said a surprised June Kennedy of Kelowna as she walked through the doors of the main hall. “I just hope they take credit cards because I don’t think I’ve got enough cash. It just looks like there are so many really neat things for sale. I can’t wait.” At the same time she was arriving, Susan Eaton was just leaving after spending time at the fair with her mother and two children. “This definitely put me in the Christmas spirit,” said Eaton. “I liked all the jewelry places and the kids just loved it, there were lots of things for them” Inside on the floor, Marge Noble, who has co-organized the event for the past 16 years, admitted she was tired but on Cloud 9 based on the response from the public. “Yesterday we were just so incredibly visited and getting towards the
last part of our day on Sunday, it’s just been a steady crowd,” said Noble as she watched Santa who was making his rounds of the room, handing out candy canes to young and old alike. “It’s so nice everyone has a smile on their faces and people are saying, ‘Marge, you and your family have done such a superb job.’ And as you know that is not why we do this, but it is still deeply satisfying to know that we’re measuring up to the bar. “ One of the new participants in this year’s fair was Surrey based artist Olga Osnach whose unique creations made from polymer clay caught the attention of many shoppers. The miniature figurines ranged from colourful rabbits and mice to sleeping fairy snails and elves, including some fittingly encased in clear ornaments to hang on the tree. Myrna Decock of MAD Creations was back again this year at the fair with her cuddly, stuffed Christmas characters and articles with her signature button attachments. The success of the fair is particularly good for the Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation which benefits from some of the money raised at the

Program hits home with seniors Steve Kidd Western News Staff
After a successful pilot project in Osoyoos and five other communities, Penticton has been chosen to be one of the first 18 participants in the Better at Home program. Better At Home is a new program through United Way with the goal of allowing seniors to live longer in their own homes surrounded by friends, family and neighbours. The program, said United Way director Riley Gettens, was developed in collaboration with the B.C. Ministry of Health, which has allocated $50 million to it over the next three years. “All of our United Way (chapters) are working together to bring this to individual communities where the need is the greatest,” said Gettens. Better at Home is expected to be spread to 60 communities across the province. Working with local non-profit agencies, the program provides seniors with services such as housekeeping, grocery shopping, friendly visits, yard work, home repair, snow removal and transportation to appointments. “What we have done is taken some of that funding and hired a community developer, that’s Myrna Tischer,” said Gettens. “She is going to be doing some research in Penticton to find a local nonprofit agency to deliver the Better At
J & C Bottle Depot
Home services.” In Osoyoos, one of the findings of the pilot project was that seniors there needed access to transportation, since the community has very limited public transportation. So a van was purchased to help alleviate the problem. But Gettens expects that Tischer will discover different needs for Penticton. “It’s definitely a Penticton focus; that is the point of the program being rolled out into different communities,” said Gettens. “The solutions they might find here in Penticton may not work in a different community. A different community might have a different need.” Tischer will be gathering information and seeking input over the next few weeks about how Better At Home can benefit Penticton seniors. To help generate that dialogue, The Remaining Light, a documentary about how society cares for seniors, will be shown Nov. 14 in the auditorium at the Penticton Library/Museum complex. It will be followed by a discussion about the local issues facing older adults trying to live independently. At the end of November, a community and stakeholders meeting will be held to present the project findings, solicit additional input and help determine Penticton’s readiness to implement the Better at Home program and support the selection of a lead agency. Implementation is expected to begin in April 2013.

Province open to offers for Grist Mill operations Steve Kidd Western News Staff
If you were thinking it would be nice to manage the Keremeos Grist Mill, the province has extended the deadline by another two weeks. The opportunity to submit expressions of interest, which was to have ended on Oct. 30, has been extended to Nov. 13. The agreement with Jim and Brenda Millar, who have managed the historic site since 2009, ends on March 31, just as the 2013 tourist season will be ramping up. Their original contract, for one year with two renewals, was later extended by a third renewal. Dave Cursons of the Grist Mill Foundation said he knows of expressions of interest from two local groups, both of which he is trying to be supportive of. But more may have been received by the Min-
istry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources, which oversees the province’s historic and heritage sites. “Those are the ones I know of, and it could be that the existing contractor, who doesn’t finish up until the end of March next year, may apply again,” said Cursons. Millar said he submitted an expression of interest prior to the original deadline. “We don’t get any preferential treatment, it’s just that I know a lot of the things they are asking about,” said Millar. “So I know how to answer them, more than the average person just trying to figure things out would.” The Grist Mill is one of 23 heritage properties owned by the province, and is currently operated as a historic site museum by the Millars. But according to a press release from the ministry, proposals may include, but are not limited to, the site’s

current function as an outdoor museum. “The Heritage Branch will consider new uses for the site as long as they consider the site’s heritage values. This process will allow ministry staff to re-

cially self-sufficient with no government funding,” said Millar, adding that he would like to see these sites be free to the public, but doesn’t have a solution to a lack of government tax dollars. “I’ve said in the past, that anybody in their right business mind wouldn’t take it on, but anyone that goes and looks at the place, they fall in love
hopes that the ministry will announce a successful proposal before Christmas. “At a tourist attraction like the Grist Mill heritage site, you’ve got to get on board with marketing. January is late,” he said. “In the past, these contracts have not been issued until the spring, and that means that marketing has been affected, badly affected, by the late start.” Cursons is also concerned that proponents may not have access to a consultant’s report done on the heritage site after visiting the Similkameen community earlier this year. “We had a fairly good turnout when they came out in the middle of June,” he said. “And we believe that report has been delivered to B.C. Heritage. That would be what do the local people want to see here, what would success look like, what are the problems as they see it.” Copies of the Requests for Expressions of Interest package are available on the B.C. Bid website at: www.bcbid.gov.bc.ca.

view innovative concepts that would increase financial viability and self-sufficiency of the Grist Mill site,” reads the government release. Millar thinks the ministry is still trying to reach a goal of the province’s 11 heritage sites being self supporting. “I’m not aware of very many heritage or museums that are finan-
with it and they lose their common sense,” said Millar. Opened in 1877, the mill and store served the needs of local ranchers, First Nations, miners and travellers on the historic Dewdney Trail. The 6.9-hectare (17-acre) site includes organic gardens, three historic buildings, a modern building currently used as a visitor centre, as well as some bare land. The site also has an heirloom apple orchard and a small plot of heritage wheat growing on the upper fields. “It’s a beautiful place and it should be cherished,” said Cursons. “And the principal artifact, that old 1877 flour mill, is a terrific example of late Victorian technology, which is very much a precursor to our own model.” “It’s the only one in B.C., and I think it is the only one in Western Canada, from Ontario west,” said Millar. Expressions of interest are due at the ministry’s Heritage Branch before 2 p.m. on Nov. 13. Cursons

Vees bolster centre position with trade Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff
Needing a natural centre and offence, the Penticton Vees have turned to Brock Balson. The Vees swung a trade with the Salmon Arm SilverBacks for the Kamloops minor hockey product. Going to Salmon Arm are defenceman Mitch Ferguson and forward Evan Anderson. “He was looking for a change from Salmon Arm,” said Vees coach-GM Fred Harbinson. Upon realizing their need, the Vees got on the phone Tuesday and made the deal. Harbinson said it was difficult to move two good kids. “Ferguson is going to be a really good defenceman in this league,” he said. The Vees coach said the situation will be better for both as they get a chance to play a little more. “I think it’s going to be good for him for a change of scenery,” said Harbinson of Anderson. “He’s going to get an opportunity to play some bigger minutes.” Both players expressed their appreciation to the Vees on Twitter. “I would like to thank the @PentictonVees for the opportunity!,” wrote Ferguson, who had one assist in 12 games. “That being said I’m extremely happy to be joining the @SASilverbacks.” “Thank you to @PentictonVees for such a great experience. Very excited to join @SASilverbacks this season,” wrote Anderson, who had three assists in 18 games. SilverBacks GM Troy Mick said he’s very pleased with the deal that gives his club size and youth. “Evan is a big, gritty forward with a nose for the net and the ability to put up numbers,” said Mick in a release. “Here in Salmon Arm he will see more ice-time and we’re excited to have him here.” On Ferguson, Mick thinks the ‘Backs might have

found a diamond in the rough. “We see Mitch as a blue-chip offensive prospect, it’s going to be exciting to watch him grow and contribute with our strong group of defensemen.” Balson, 19, was in his second stint with the Silverbacks, posting two goals and eight points in nine games. In 2011-2012 he split time with the SilverBacks, amassing 10 goals and 20 points in 20 games before joining the Kamloops Blazers of the Western Hockey League. In 42 games for the Blazers, he collected three goals and six points. In 2010-11 he played 48 games with the Prince Albert Raiders. “I’m pretty excited about it,” said the six-footone, 200-pound forward of joining the Vees. “Coming to a winning organization that has a pretty good tradition.” Balson said it was tough leaving the SilverBacks because they did a lot for him last year giving him a place to play and helping him return to the Blazers. Balson, who will wear #28 with the Vees, feels he can provide offence. “I can’t wait for weekend to start,” said Balson, who arrived less than two hours before practice on Wednesday. “Two tough teams in Merritt (Friday) and Chilliwack (Saturday).” Vees forward Sam Mellor said he likes the addition of Balson because of his strength. “I think that’s what we needed but we lost two really good guys and the boys will miss them,” said Mellor. The Vees also announced the signing of defenceman Brayden Park, 16. An affiliate player from the Osoyoos Coyotes, he debuted with the Vees last Saturday against Chilliwack. “Brayden is a hard-nosed defenseman who brings a physical element that we wanted on our back end,” said Harbinson. The wait will be short for the players to face their former teams, Salmon Arm visits Penticton Nov. 16.

Western News Staff
A two-set sweep netted the KVR Express Grade 8 girls volleyball team a championship. Eleven teams battled through 33 matches with the ultimate goal of claiming the South Okanagan Similkameen Athletic Association Volleyball Championship at Pen High Nov. 3. The Express faced the Skaha Lake Middle School Sharks, McNicoll, Keremeos and then Summerland No. 1 in the final. The Express went on to win all six of their matches, with an overall combined record of 14 set wins while losing only two. The Express were ecstatic following their win said parent Kyle Sunderman, considering how much they improved from the start of the season. The Express pulled off winning the championship without their best player Lyndzie Caron, who was considered one of their

Seniors girls on the rise Western News Staff
A strong tournament for the Pen High Lakers senior girls volleyball team ended with a loss to the Kelowna Secondary School Owls. The Okanagan rivals met in the quarter-final of Riverside Secondary’s (Coquitlam) tournament. Lakers coach Robert Gunning said it featured high calibre teams that are top in the AAAA standings. The Lakers lost tight matches to Pacific Academy (No. 2 AA) and Heritage Woods (No. 1 AAAA) on Friday. They finished pool play on Saturday with a loss to Earl Marriott No. 3 in AAAA and beat North Vancouver’s Handsworth. Their first round playoff match was win against No. 7 McMath (Richmond) in AAAA in a tight two-set match before losing to the Owls, ranked No. 2. “The KSS match was our fourth in a row and the girls just kind of ran out of gas,” said Gunning. “The two wins were very important for us to solidify our No. 8 (as of Nov. 6) ranking right now and we hope to move up a little bit before the Valleys in a little less than two weeks.”
Having seen all the top teams in the province, the Lakers know they are competitive. “All of the girls played well this weekend and showed a level of competitiveness that is good to see at this time of year,” said Gunning. “The win against McMath was very big as the girls came back from 13-4 and 22-18 deficits. A real good show of character against a good team.” Sara Berthelsen and Georgia Hurry led the way at the net with 14 blocks each. Blocking has been a key area of focus and Gunning was happy to see it continue to improve. On offense, Kaylie Loewen led the way with 49 kills, Annaka Ramsay added 22 while leading the team in hitting percentage. Janna Clarke added 15 kills and 10.5 blocks while playing with a bad ankle. Hayden Craig was the Lakers biggest threat at the service line with 10 aces while Ramsay added eight. Mikala Vujcich, Abi McCluskey and Jo Gunning brought great defense and intensity to the court. Next up for the Lakers is preparing for the Valley championship in Kamloops on Nov. 17.

Work may soon begin on the long-awaited Okanagan Falls Industrial Park planned for the old Weyerhaeuser mill, which ceased operations in 2007. “Environmental has been completed, it looks good and we are moving ahead with our rezone,” said Jim Morrison, one of the entrepreneurs with Zinfandel Holdings. In 2009, Zinfandel released a concept plan designating three main uses for the property, including commercial/industrial, affordable housing and a potential vineyard. However, the project has been on hold since then, awaiting a Certificate of Compliance from the provincial government specifying the site had been remediated to meet environmental quality standards. That certificate came this month, allowing Zinfandel to finalize the deal with Weyerhaeuser. Under a non-disclosure agreement with Weyerhaeuser, Morrison said
he is limited in what he can say about their progress, but does say they are still pursuing the concept. “It’s a beautiful property and our plan has some really good merit for Okanagan Falls,” said Morrison. “We have plans for modular homes on the site, in the residential portion, next to Shuttleworth Creek.” Zinfandel’s original announcement about the project suggested that over the first 10 years of operation, it could generate as many as 500 job opportunities, almost double what Weyerhaeuser employed when it closed down in 2007. “We have high hopes to get this project going forward,” said Tom Siddon, Area D director for the Regional District Okanagan Similkameen. “It was fundamentally important to economic development after the closure of the mill, about four years ago, to get those lands converted to some other, higher value use, hopefully to create permanent, year-round jobs.” Siddon admits how the project unfolds is going to be up to the developer, but said there are a
number of possible industries that could be situated there. The RDOS has an economic development officer, John Powell, working out of OK Falls. “We are increasing the appeal of the community generally and trying to create a better self image,” said Siddon, explaining that the community and the old Weyerhaeuser site have great potential. “It’s a very large piece of real estate, strategically located not that far from Penticton,” said Siddon, noting that it is also near the proposed corrections facility site in Oliver, as well as the crossroads of Highway 3a and 97. “Bottom line is we are trying to create one or two industrial employers that can put 100 or 200 people to work in the community. It may be a few years before all that happens, but that adds to school enrolment, it adds business for the merchants in town, the grocery stores and the infrastructure,” said Siddon. “The future development of Okanagan Falls will hinge on how this industrial park will unfold.”

Getting the right career qualifications Dear Wanda, I know that employment centres used to offer assistance setting individuals up with opportunities to go to school, is that still the case? I have a friend who is a single parent who would love to go back to school and start a career. She has a lot of ideas but is afraid to make the wrong decision and end up with certification that isn’t useful or a job that doesn’t cover the cost of child care. If you could get back to me with a little bit of information, it would be much appreciated. Thank you,
Being a Friend
Dear Friend, Being out of the labour market for any meaningful length of time can generate uncertainty and even fear when preparing to jump back in. You are being a friend indeed by offering to help with the first few steps and revealing a door or two. The plunge can be a little less un-

comfortable when there is a good support system in place: family, friends, community, a case manager or any combination (everyone needs their own cheerleading squad). If your friend is considering options for transition, she could start by taking note of what she is already qualified for with her current skills and abilities as well as where her interests lie. Study the postings that hold interest and record the required qualifications. Researching local job postings can be an eyeopening way of discovering what employers are asking for as well demystifying ideas that all well-paying jobs require years of expensive
training. Up-to-date labour market information can be found on the WorkBC website: www.workbc. ca or with a basic web search to get a good picture of what is available, working conditions, pay scales and individual suitability. Training is not always the answer. The key to making a solid career decision with lasting results and a regular paycheque is research. Finding the right job or a dream job can come about with a combination of an effective self-marketing strategy, appropriate certification when needed and good old curiosity: keep asking questions. A case manager/
employment specialist can assist with career planning as well as information on available training and funding opportunities. If you have a question for Wanda Kareer, email her at info@ymca-ywca. com with Wanda Kareer in the subject line.

YOUNG ARTHUR CARL
February 16, 1924 to November 1, 2012 Passed away at Penticton Regional Hospital after a courageous battle with a very serious illness. He is survived by his daughter, Margaret Desharnais (Wayne) and his son, Jack Young (Heather); grandchildren, Stacey Desharnais, Drew Desharnais, Melissa Wenger (Jamie), Adrienne Young and Erica Young (Bryan) as well as brothers, Herb Young, Ken Young (Gladis) and sister, Vivienne Corsie (John) and many nephews and nieces. He was predeceased by his wife of 60 years, Lillian Young, who passed away in 2005 and by his sister Evelyn. Dad was one of the original Veterans to build on the Westbench in 1953. For 45 years he and Mom worked the orchard as well as his custodial work for Penticton School District. He grew the most delicious fruit and people would come back year after year to purchase his fruit. All of his grandchildren have fond memories of tractor-trailer rides through the peach orchard and in spite of being a busy orchardist he always found time to give them their rides and lots of love and attention. His garage still bears the record of their growth â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something that we will preserve for them. Dad was always loving and encouraging and supportive of his family. We are saddened at losing him but also happy that he is now at peace. We shall always love and remember him for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;gentle giantâ&#x20AC;? that he was. Our family would like to thank the Doctors and Nurses at Penticton Regional Hospital for their compassionate care of our father/grandfather/brother/ uncle. In particular we would like to give thanks to Dr. Glen Burgoyne and his staff for their kind consideration and for always being there when needed. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers the family would prefer that donations be made to the South Okanagan Medical Foundation. Condolences may be shared by visiting www.everdenrust.com.
