RealPENTICTON Canadian SuperstoreWESTERN opens Thursday at former Zellers location Mark Brett

Western News Staff

Shoppers rejoice. The much-anticipated opening of the Real Canadian Superstore at the former Zellers location in the Penticton Power Centre takes place Thursday at 6 a.m. The grand opening ceremonies begin at 9 a.m. which will include special guests Okanagan Coquihalla MP Dan Albas and Penticton Mayor Dan Ashton, who will join store manager Jeff Sharman in doing the honours of cutting the ribbon. One of the people most excited about the opening is Sharman, who grew up in Penticton. “It’s fantastic. I graduated from Pen High, so for me this is like coming home and I can’t wait to be servicing the people of this ﬁne area,” said the store manager earlier this week. “We’re going to bring a really exciting, vibrant store with the full-service optical department, great health food department and walk-in medical centre right inside the store. “We’re bringing fresh produce and great bakery items, deli and cheeses, and a selection of meats and seafoods.” He added one of the most important aspects of the new business coming to town is the employment it provides for area residents. “In terms of jobs, it will create over 265 jobs,” said the manager. “We started the process awhile ago and had another job fair about a month ago at the trade and convention centre which went very well and we hired about 150 people. “I’m really happy with the people we got because it’s all about service and attitude and it starts with us, with me.” Since the announcement of Superstore coming to Penticton in early October, extensive renovations have been made to the 111,000-square-foot building. Ofﬁcials of Loblaws Companies Ltd., which owns Superstore, announced earlier this year the Carmi Road Real Canadian Wholesale Club, which it also owns, will remain open. Superstore has about 40 other locations in the province including Vernon, Kelowna and West Kelowna. In addition to the on-site medical centre, other health-related departments include the optical venue, offering contact lenses, prescription glasses and sunglasses. Eye examinations are also available. Natural foods and full-service pharmacy round out the wellness-departments. Other products include, high-quality apparel for men, women KIDS WINTER GLOVES

and children and the Mobile Shop stocked with the leading wireless brands including over 50 phones, tablets and accessories. Knowledgeable advisors are on duty to help customers select the products right for them and provide information where needed. “Our team of dedicated colleagues are very eager to provide customers with a unique, hassle-free, value-added shopping experience,” said Sharman. “Kind of one-stop shopping if you will.” He feels another positive aspect Superstore brings to Penticton is its commitment to the region’s agriculture industry. Wherever possible, based largely on seasonal availability, the company will buy products locally. “We’re ﬁnding that consumers are deﬁnitely a lot more aware and concerned about that aspect of shopping and also about getting products such as seafood from sustainable sources,” he said. “We’re really big on our country of origin. We’ll buy directly from farmers and orchardists, whether it’s cherries from Penticton or potatoes from Summerland or Cawston, we’ll do that.” According to Mayor Ashton, in addition to the jobs, there are Fabric Recliners Starting from

other major benefits to the community as a whole. “It’s another way to keep people from going north, and in my opinion I think it’s also going to be a draw,” he said. “It’s going to draw people from the outside areas, north and south, and that gives them (shoppers) the opportunity when they’re in town they have the ability to go elsewhere. “These big stores are very competitive but they also generate a lot of traffic, so that creates a lot of opportunity for other retailers and restaurants to show their wares.” He added the decision to locate a Superstore here substantiates the recent selection of Penticton as the third most entrepreneurial city in the province behind Prince George and Kelowna. “It’s also an expression of confidence in just how much we have to offer here,” said Ashton. “As a result of that, we’re getting more expressions of interest from other development from outside the area and that’s pretty nice to see.” The new store will be open seven days a week from 6 a.m. - 11 p.m.

Soldiers’ sacrifice stands test of time Mark Brett Western News Staff

Bundled up against the chilly November winds and tucked in the secure embrace of her mother’s arms, Kassandra Koning smiles at the people marching past her. At 18 months of age, the little girl doesn’t yet understand the significance of the 11th day of this month, nor is she aware just how much her freedom and future are the result of what these men and women and others have sacrificed, but one day she will. That’s a promise her mother Susan Tait intends to keep. “She may be too young to know right now but I still think it’s important to watch the parade and remember those who fought for our freedom, so she grows up knowing somebody looked after our country for her,” said Tait prior to the start of Sunday’s Remembrance Day services at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre. “When she grows up I want her to know it’s what these people did that lets her be whoever she wants to be.” The mother already shows Kassandra pictures of her grandparents from both sides of the family who fought in past wars. “I think that hits home, makes it more real,” said Tait. “When she gets older she may want to enlist and I would encourage her to do that because now (with current conflicts) this is not just something that happened a long time ago, it is still going on today.” Master Cpl. Glenn Duffield of Penticton, a member of the Kelownabased B.C. Dragoons, is one of those modern-day vets.

Between 2009 and 2010 he did an eight-month deployment with Lord Strathcona’s Royal Canadian B squadron, an armoured tank regiment at Forward Observation Base Ma’Sum Ghar, just southwest of Kandahar. Working “outside the wire” in some of the most dangerous conditions, particularly for improvised explosive devices, his life was frequently in danger and he had a couple of near misses. “My experience? It was long, it was tough,” he said after Sunday’s service. “We came under fire and I saw everything there is to see, but it was probably one of the best things I ever did, the friendships I made there will last forever and I’m very proud of everybody I served with.”

However, when asked about the toll it took on him personally, he quietly replied: “No comment, no comment.” The one positive aspect he pulled from the Afghani conflict was the rejuvenation of the Canadian Armed Forces. Particularly with the Dragoons regiment, which he described as thriving, as the pride in the country’s military has once again been restored. But even that has a down side. “I guess when we start losing people and in a war context, the patriotism comes out,” said Duffield. Throughout the years in the major conflicts, including Afghanistan, over 100,000 Canadians have died, nearly 150 were soldiers who called Penticton and area home.

freedoms that were willingly paid for at the ultimate cost. “Take time sometime this week, indeed take time throughout the year to let the vets know how much you appreciate what they have done,” he said, adding the 1940 quote from Winston Churchill: “‘Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.’ “Freedom is not free — lest we forget.”

At Sunday’s service each of the names — as they are every year — were read aloud. Padre John Briscall told Sunday’s packed auditorium: “The souls of the righteous are in the hands of God and their bodies in peace but their names live forever more.” He also had a suggestion for NaVal VeteraN Dick Clements and Mary Mayes of the those who royal Canadian legion ladies auxiliary watch the prohave the ceedings of the service from on stage.

Declining enrolment brings class-size savings Joe Fries Western News Staff

Declining student enrolment has dragged down education budgets around the province, but it may actually be saving some local schools money this year. Fewer kids means none of the academic classes in the Okanagan Skaha School District this year is over the 30-student maximum that now triggers additional cash incentives for teachers. “We worked with our local teachers’ (union) president to do our best to ensure we did not (have) to offer teachers extra money to take extra kids,” assistant superintendent Dave Burgoyne explained to the school board last week. According to Burgoyne’s report, as of September there were nine classes in the district

“They’re still on that page where they think, ‘We can’t afford to pay anything… so we better keep classes under 30,’” said Leslea Pryde. “They found a way to get it done.” New legislation adopted last spring by the B.C. government mandates any school that wants to run a class with more than 30 students must first consult with its teacher and then hand over about $2,500 per extra kid that can be put toward supplies or progressional development, or taken as salary. Pryde said teachers wouldn’t take the money anyway. “We don’t accept cash for kids. That goes against the teachers’ code of ethics, which basically states that we as teachers will not accept materialistic or monetary gain, because we feel that’s exploiting the relationship with our stu-

with 30-plus students, down from 33 in September 2011 and 49 in September 2007. The nine oversized classes now are non-academic and therefore excluded from the size limit. The largest of the group is a Leadership 9 course with 64 students. Burgoyne said $130,000 for teachers’ salaries from the Learning Improvement Fund and improved time-tabling, plus fewer kids helped keep class sizes under the 30-student threshold. Enrolment has dropped slightly, as headcount declined from 6,326 at the end of the last school year, to 6,219 at the beginning of the current session. But the head of the Okanagan Skaha Teachers’ Union thinks the threat of additional costs, not declining enrolment, is mainly to thank for the smaller class sizes.

dents,” she explained. The union leader added that teachers are also against accepting oversize-class cash for school supplies. “The argument there is if they’re going to give us money anyway for resources for a school, why aren’t they (already) doing that? Obviously the money’s there. They should be doing that in the first place.” Burgoyne’s report to the board also noted that average class sizes in the district are down almost across the board this year. The drop is most pronounced in Grades 4-7, in which classes average 23.1 students, down from 24.9 last year. However, Burgoyne noted, small English Language Learning classes are now included in the data, which skews the averages.

Support workers hit picket line Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

Penticton community support workers wore placards and waved flags behind picket lines on Tuesday. “This is a targeted strike and if the government doesn’t came back to the table we will be ramping it up,” said Loanne Pickard, bargaining committee member for the community social services workers, who was picketing on Industrial Avenue on Tuesday in front of the Penticton and District Society for Community Living. Professionals from agencies that support children and adults with developmental disabilities and provide other community services were on strike on Tuesday in Penticton and affected the day programs at PDSCL and at Chestnut Place on Winnipeg Street. The strike was to continue on Wednesday for workers in Vernon, Armstrong and in the Cariboo. Pickard said

better wages, restoration of benefit packages and sick days are some of the key issues behind the strike that affects 10 unions. The unions argue that since 2004 the B.C. Liberal government has slashed $300 million in funding for programs that support the developmentally disabled, vulnerable women, at-risk youth and children and

infants in communitybased programs across the province. Since Oct. 16, rotating strike action in community social services has impacted agencies across B.C. According to the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union, social service workers have taken a 22 per cent wage cut, factoring in inflation, over the

last decade. They say the current starting wage for a residential care worker is $15.54 an hour and in 2002 it was $16.83. Essential services levels are being maintained throughout the strike and further job action was being threatened to target agencies in the Lower Mainland later this week by the BCGEU.

EDITORIAL

States show the way for marijuana reform

arijuana reform advocates hope Washington and Colorado states’ vote to legalize and tax marijuana sales will add momentum to their push for change in B.C. Washington state estimates it will collect $560 million in the ﬁrst year from a planned 25-per-cent tax on the sale of licensed, regulated marijuana through authorized stores. If enacted, this could also cause a partial collapse of B.C.’s estimated $7-billion-a-year illegal pot industry, as growers relocate to the U.S. to avoid the need to smuggle. Recently, the Union of B.C. Municipalities passed a resolution calling for marijuana to be decriminalized. They’d rather pot be regulated and taxed instead, much like alcohol. The U.S. votes are a progressive move toward responsible marijuana use. It’s time for B.C. to take a similar step toward decriminalization, if not legalization of marijuana. The potential tax revenue and the opportunity to reduce law enforcement costs, and help unclog our court system is too much to pass up. The poll results south of the border sent a message that U.S. drug policies are not working. As Canada’s drug policies follow the U.S. closely, it means ours aren’t working either — it’s time for a change. Sensible B.C. is looking to follow in the footsteps of both Washington campaigners and B.C.’s successful anti-HST drive. The group aims to get enough signatures on a petition to force a provincial referendum on marijuana decriminalization, through B.C.’s Recall and Initiative Act. TheWESTERN proposed Sensible Policing Act PENTICTON would block B.C. police from spending time or resources on searches, seizures or arrests for simple cannabis possession. It’s time we take our antiquated marijuana laws and follow the lead of our neighbours to the south and let the people decide if it’s time for a change.

Salmon mystery far from solved Before the 1,200-page, $25-million Cohen Commission report on the Fraser River sockeye salmon ﬁshery slips beneath the waves, allow me to dip my toe into the river of data that has ﬂowed by in the past three years. If your information on this hugely complex subject consisted of skimming a few news stories or watching protesters on TV, you will likely conclude what urban people have been indoctrinated with for years. The whole issue is salmon farms and whether they are bad or catastrophic. “Freeze new salmon farms on sockeye migration route: Cohen” said the headline on a Black Press report. Those who read past the headline would learn that Justice Bruce Cohen recommended a freeze on further salmon farms around the Discovery Islands group near Campbell River until 2020. It’s up to the industry to show by that time that the risk is “minimal,” or farms there should be shut down. A B.C. Salmon Farming Association spokesman said only nine of 70 B.C. salmon farms are in that area. There are no current applications for more.

Tom Fletcher

B.C. Views Let’s say you decide to plunge in, and download the full report from www.cohencommission.ca. If you go to Volume 2, page 102, you will see a series of graphs that show sockeye runs from rivers other than the Fraser, from Washington all the way up to Alaska. It’s not a pretty sight. From Washington up to the Central Coast, the Skeena, Nass and up to Yukon’s Klukshu and Alaska’s Alsek, most runs show a decline starting in the 1980s or early 1990s. This includes runs that migrate down the west side of Vancouver Island, away from salmon farms. Alaska doesn’t allow farms, preferring “ranching” —

a strategy that floods the ocean habitat with millions of hatchery fish. These are commercially fished and marketed as “wild.” B.C.’s North Coast has never had salmon farms. The area has been subject to a moratorium since an NDP-controlled legislative committee gave its verdict on the problem in 2008. The popular villain in those days was sea lice. Skeena MLA Robin Austin chaired the committee that called for an end to open-pen salmon farms in five years. Then-agriculture minister Pat Bell approved one NDP recommendation, a moratorium on salmon farms in North Coast waters. This was after the Pacific Salmon Forum conducted its own four-year study, led by former fisheries minister John Fraser. Similar to Cohen, Fraser concluded that there is no simple answer to this complex problem. And they agreed that salmon farms don’t explain it. Cohen’s report makes it clear that the problem is far larger than could possibly be explained by salmon farms. How about logging impact? Cohen concludes after much testimony that stream protection

has improved signiﬁcantly during the time of observed sockeye decline. Impact from extra runoff due to pine beetle infestation couldn’t be evaluated. Poaching on the Fraser? Cohen didn’t get around to that. His biggest concern was climate change, warming sensitive river waters and affecting ocean conditions. During the Cohen commission hearings, the 2010 Fraser sockeye run came in gangbusters, with 35 million ﬁsh. One leading theory is that ash from an Alaska volcano fertilized the ocean, producing algae that supported more salmon feed. Could it be that salmon ranching from Alaska, Japan and elsewhere is simply depleting the food supply? That too is inconclusive. Finally, Tides Canada, a U.S. front group that diverts attention from U.S. salmon and oil tankers, spent $25,000 to publicize Cohen’s evidence. But only as it relates to B.C. salmon farms, and how bad they are. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews. com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

CARPET SALE UP % SAVE TO Extend network along waterfront on select carpet

The Penticton and Area Cycling Association supports a revitalized waterfront with strong priorities for cycling and pedestrians. The west Okanagan Lake waterfront is one of the most popular destinations in Penticton. It is imperative that the waterfront be revitalized for the following reasons: First, tourism. Gran Fondo and Challenge Penticton are in their infancy and require that Penticton embrace cycling culture for these events to be successful. These events are starting to get more and more popular. Penticton needs to compete with other communities to make these two events successful. Also, Lakeshore is a vital connection for the KVR and Channel Parkway path, it would allow for a safe and scenic connection. It would also bring riders into the downtown from the KVR. Penticton has suffered considerably in the recent economic downturn. There are numerous studies that show direct and considerable economic benefit to communities that invest in biking. This is Penticton’s opportunity for economic success. Second, health. Cardiovascular disease is a lead-

Economic needs critical

The U.S. government recently stated that they are fast approaching oil and gas independence. This is good news for those that are against the oilsands and the proposed pipelines, but what do they have that would replace the income from these sources? Without the U.S. our taxes derived from our fossil fuels will depend almost entirely on the Asian market, but how will we transport our oil, gas and coal to these thirsty nations? We could ship by truck or rail to the coast, but these are also subject to accidents and environmental concerns, and we would still have the huge tankers waiting to be filled and the risk that they convey. A highly regulated pipeline safety standard would benefit, not only the oil and gas companies, but also protect our Canadian economy which, in the end, pays for the social networks that we have become accustomed. It is not the oil and gas that is the problem, it is the maintenance of the pipeline that would create a problem, and with the modern technology this should be held to a minimum. We have pressure gauges that would show any drop in pressure in case of a leak, and we also have robotic cameras that can survey

ing cause of death in Canada at 21 per cent of deaths. Penticton needs to encourage active living by promoting low-impact activities such as walking and cycling. Revitalizing the waterfront will be a great opportunity to help people get out of their cars, get active and enjoy the amazing waterfront in relative peace, quiet and safety. Finally, council has already prioritized the bike plan, alternative transportation and climate action. Lakeshore offers a perfect opportunity to expand the bike network to one of the most popular destinations in Penticton. By encouraging people to ride their bikes, the city will be meeting their other priorities. Sharing resources between the city’s major projects makes economic sense. Revitalization of the waterfront will help improve the health of Pentictonites as well as provide a direct return on economic investment at the local level. PACA strongly urges council to give consideration to bicycles when planning for the revitalization of the West Okanagan Lake waterfront.

the conditions within the pipe and warn of any possible crack or erosion within the pipe. More inspectors should be hired that would ensure that the pipeline was properly welded and bedded before any transportation of the oil would be permitted, and these should be government inspectors, not company employees. As well, periodic tests should be authorized in order to find any weaknesses before they could rupture. I believe in protecting our environment, but I also believe in protecting our economy and the social benefits that are so important to our Canadian way of life. There is an answer, we just have to find it. Donald E. Thorsteinson Oliver

Oceans apart

In response to comments by Coun. John Vassilaki that our beaches aren’t the best in the world and “we must stop fooling ourselves. Compared to beaches in the Caribbean, California, Florida and Europe, we don’t even come close.” Of course we don’t come close — those beaches are on the ocean. Jill Moreton Okanagan Falls

YEAR END

I would like to thank the Penticton mayor and council for having the wisdom to not approve option 1 and 2 for the Okanagan Lake waterfront. Option 4 is a compromise for most sides. The option 3 group keep the two-way street and most of the angle parking. The taxpayer wins without loans and higher taxes. The option 4 group get their wider path to include bicycles, skateboards and rollerblades. Beach sunbathers will lose big time. I am most concerned with the children crossing the bike path, hopefully they plan a safe way to do this. I also thank Andrew Jakubeit for his foresight that any extra city money should go into the downtown revitalization. The downtown could be made a tourist attraction like Chemainus did. I unfortunately have to disagree (with no disrespect) with John Vassilaki for saying our beach does not compare to Europe, the Caribbean, etc. and is not a world class beach. First of all, this is Canada, and west

Losing confidence

In past experiences, I have sent the mayor and council many emails voicing my concerns about many issues. Do they respond? Council no, and the mayor

Okanagan beach is the best freshwater beach/strip in Canada. As for making it “world class” Was Penticton not voted fourth for the top 10 tourist destinations in the world by Facebook — as it is without change? Is this not already world class then? How much lower will we be ranked with the changes? And why would we want to make it look European. All the ‘European tourists I meet at the beach love it because it is not like Europe, after all this is Canada. I am worried at the council’s remarks saying they will leave the door open to future options like large intersection plazas, plazas that consume beach and parking. Is this supposed to be a beach? With a wider path consuming valuable beach space, how much will be left for sunbathing tourists with a wider path going onto the beach side of the trees and any additional add-ons? Let us see how much beach loss there will be with option 4 complete. And where will the beach lovers wanting shade sit with the path by the trees? Drive down

to Lakeshore Drive and the beach and guesstimate with the path on the beach side of the trees (including the buffer zone from the trees) how much will be left for sunbathers? Hopefully this will answer some of Dennis O’ Gorman’s letter, and yes Mr O’Gorman there was a letter trashing vintage vehicles as not ecological and not important on the beach. If you went to the beach everyday you would realize that yes, the vintage cars are a mobile part of the wow factor of Lakeshore Drive, along with the Sicamous and all the natural beach attractions. I also hope they will keep a step along the retaining wall from the street to pathway, as this is the widest chair in Penticton, especially in the evening. Imagine if it was at street level, how many lawn chairs would now consume the path? When option 4 is complete, remember the line from the Joni Mitchell song: “You don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone.”

the decisions they have made. They allowed the mooring of pleasure crafts on the beach which took away approximately 150 feet of area where we used to swim and play with our kids.

On the weekend of Aug. 19, there were two 35-foot cabin cruisers parked on the beach. I witnessed the owners of the two yachts allowing their dogs to run loose on the beach. Loud music from their stereo systems and dumping leftover liquids from glasses and cans into the water. Oh, did I mention that I took my granddaughter in the water, to find the presence of oil and gas. And now they are bringing back two of those small buses. They are an accident waiting to happen. Again, against all who opposed these buses, which included the drivers, the mayor and council are bringing them back. To save money? I sent the mayor and council a list of 10 major concerns about how Global Spectrum were mismanaging the SOEC. This went to deaf ears. I got one response from the mayor which was a political answer, this is where the double talk and false promises comes into effect. You see, they do as they please no matter what or who it affects. They are abusing the system and make these decisions without consultation. They don’t make things better, they make them worse. I have no confidence in the mayor or council as they lead this fair city of ours into oblivion. Garry Fawcett Penticton

School takes tough stance on smoking Joe Fries Western News Staff

Life is becoming more difficult for the youngest smokers at Penticton Secondary School. The school this fall launched a new quitsmoking program, part of which includes principal Alan Stel threatening to suspend Grade 9 students caught smoking, even if they’re off school property. Such a suspension “might not hold up perfectly well,” Stel told the board of the Okanagan Skaha School District, but it does accomplish the desired goal. “They are in fact smoking, we know they’re just going farther away,” Stel continued, but, “We want that to be a challenge for them.” The principal said

educators have a moral obligation to help improve students’ lives, and reducing the number of smokers is a good first step because smoking is “just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to issues in our school.” There are between 75 and 100 identified smokers among his roughly 1,200 students, Stel added. Youth worker Sylvie Hamel, who is helping with the program, told the board a survey conducted earlier this year found 14 per cent of student smokers said they tried cigarettes before they were 10 years old, while the majority, 27 per cent, first puffed when they were 12. Student smokers were also invited to meetings arranged by grade where Hamel discussed strate-

gies for making positive life changes and tried to understand the reasons they smoke. The next set of meetings, in December, will focus on the neurobiology of addiction and why some students are more likely to get hooked on harmful substances than others. “I want them to have this understanding that some of them are more at risk than others,”

Hamel said. She added that emotional regulation and anxiety were among the reasons commonly given by students when asked why they smoke, so a future session will delve into stress management techniques. Stel said next year he will tell both Grade 9 and 10 students they are not welcome to smoke near school property, then add Grades 11 and 12 in the

following years. “We’re going to give it four years and invest some time working on this culture of smoking,” he said. Trustee Shelley Clarke suggested the program also focus on the cost of smoking. “The money thing is huge for teenagers; they don’t really think about the health effects because they’re invincible,” Clarke said.

Costs on rise for teacher pensions Teachers and their employers will have to dig a little deeper next year to shore up the educators’ pension plan. Longer life expectancies and tough economic conditions were among the factors cited by the B.C. Teachers’ Pension Plan for its decision to increase contribution rates, according to a letter received by the Okanagan Skaha School District board at its meeting last week. The 1.3 per cent hike for both members and employers will cost the district an extra $50,000 a year, effective July 2013, according to secretary-treasurer Ron Shongrunden. The letter says the pension plan is currently 96 per cent funded, down from 98 per cent in 2008. It says the plan’s position was hurt by lower than forecasted investment returns, a three per cent decline in active members, and a 1.5-year increase in members’ life expectancies over the past 12 years. According to the pension plan’s 2011 annual report, it realized a 3.1 per cent return on investments in 2011 that saw the market value of its assets grow by $300 million to $16.9 billion. The plan received $687 million in contributions in 2011, 54 per cent of which came from employers and 45 per cent of which came from members, according to the report. The balance came from other plans.

As the fundraising partner of the BC Cancer Agency, the BC Cancer Foundation funds more cancer research in BC than any other charitable organization.

Nearly $200,000 was spent on two new traffic lights to make life easier for Penticton’s pedestrians. Each of the new traffic lights flashes green until activated by a

walker to bring traffic to a halt and allow safe passage across its intersection. The new signal at Main Street and Okanagan Avenue went live last week and came with a $94,500 price tag, according to Mitch Moroziuk, the city’s director of operations. He said city council’s transportation advisory committee recommended the new light because the nearest signalized crossings on Main Street are a few blocks in either direction at Warren Avenue and Industrial Avenue. “If somebody wanted to cross a busy four-lane road safely, there was nowhere to do that other than (by walking) a considerable distance.” The other new light, at the intersection of

Johnson Road and Middle Bench Road, replaced a pedestrian-activated amber crosswalk light, and was switched on earlier this fall at a cost to taxpayers of $93,000, Moroziuk said. He explained that the city first studied traffic at that intersection due to concerns raised by the Uplands Elementary School community, and determined the crossing was “right at the borderline of almost needing a signal,” according to standards set by the Transportation Association of Canada. “We just said, ‘OK, we know it’s coming, so let’s get it upgraded and it’s done,” Moroziuk said. One of Kim MacDonald’s sons attends Uplands Elementary and she said Friday while

walking him home that the amber light in place at the intersection previously didn’t always bring traffic to a stop. She hopes the new light will give parents the confidence they need to send their kids to class on foot. “I’d like more kids to be walking to school, so anything that makes it safer for them” is good, MacDonald said. Moroziuk said the city analyzes its crosswalks from time to time during periodic transportation studies, but will also do so based on complaints or information it receives from ICBC. According to an online ICBC database, there was one accident involving a pedestrian at each of the newly upgraded intersections between 2007 and 2011. The city expects to receive retroactive grant money totalling about $20,000 to offset the cost of the new lights, which were included in the 2012 budget, Moroziuk said. Traffic safety upgrades in the works for next year, he added, include more chirping crosswalk signals for sight-impaired pedestrians and the installation of uninterruptible power supplies at some stop lights to keep them on during power outages.

Steve Kidd Western News Staff

Building permit prices in Penticton may be dropping in the new year, as the city does a comprehensive evaluation of the current rates, comparing them to other communities. According to Anthony Haddad, director of development services, the development service advisory committee asked city staff to review all the city’s fees and charges, including development cost charges and building permit fees. “At the last meeting, we brought back our building permit fees and showed comparisons with other municipalities in terms of our fees and fee structures,” said Haddad. “That identified that we were fairly high

compared to other municipalities.” That report compared Penticton to not only municipalities in the Okanagan but across B.C. According to Haddad, the discrepancy in Penticton’s fees comes from a five per cent across-theboard increase to all city fees in 2010. Building permit fees aren’t a flat rate, Haddad explained, but are rather set per $1,000 of construction value. “That five per cent increase has probably had a bigger impact than it would on a flat fee; as that dollar value gets multiplied per every $1,000 of construction value.” City council took the recommendation of the development services committee and directed Haddad and city staff to come up with a revised

fee structure that will be competitive with surrounding communities. Haddad said they will not only be looking at the value of the building permit fees, but the structure that is used to apply them. While Penticton has a single structure for building permit fees, some communities use a sliding scale based on the size of the project, moving up or down depending on the value of the construction. Larger projects, Haddad said, mean a different level of involvement and work from city staff. “Typically, municipalities don’t get as involved in those larger projects where professionals are on board, architects, engineers and the professionals,” said Haddad. “It’s more of a monitoring process we do on

TIRED OF LOW RETURNS?

those larger projects, than the inspections we do on the single-families and those smaller types of developments.” Haddad hopes to have a review of the building permit fees and recommendations back to council in early December. City staff is also putting together comparisons of development cost charges, which should also be ready for the advisory committee in the next few weeks.

Plant sterols help balance the immune system to fight chronic colds and flu, especially in the winter months when our immune systems can be under constant attack. Plant sterols are essential to the body, but like vitamin C, the body cannot synthesize them, they have to be ingested. However,, due to the modern processing of food, today’ss diets tend to be deficient in sterols.

Immuno-Care® is a one-a-day

plant sterol supplement clinically tested and proven to support the body against colds, flu, seasonal allergies, infection, inflammation and the symptoms of autoimmune diseases.

The bus barn, that wasn’t a thought at the time,” said Haynes. The idea of using the bus barn, she said, came out of a conversation with Mayor Dan Ashton. Haynes said the downtown is lacking in grocery, but considering the number Please join us in celebrating our annual of grocery stores in the city, it wouldn’t make sense for one of the chains to open another in downtown. But a public market, something that is already successful Saturday, November 17 • 9:30am to 5:30pm on Saturday mornings, could address the Sunday, November 18 • noon to 4:00pm issue. “The concept is a Granville Islandstyle market.

“Think Granville Island, Pike Place Market… some of those. Ours will obviously be on a much smaller scale, but that is the concept behind it, to really create that gathering place, very similar to the Saturday markets,” said Haynes, adding that the year-round market wouldn’t be competing with the farmers’, artisans’ and community markets that take place Saturday mornings from spring through fall. “It will be open seven days a week but not Saturday mornings to make room for the Saturday market and in particular, the Farmers’ Market,” said Haynes. “The Saturday markets will stay as they are. Our community loves their markets for a lot of reasons, they love to come shop downtown … socialize with their friends, listen to the buskers and the entertainers and that will stay just as it always has and in fact, grow every year” The DPA has begun fundraising to get the project rolling, asking for a letter of support from the City of Penticton to back their grant application for $160,000 in matching funds from a Western Diversification fund aimed at community infrastructure improvement. If the DPA bid is successful, the city would need to commit matching funds in order for them to be able to access the funding, which could be used to cover rehabilitation costs for the structure, consulting costs for professionals and technical experts, signage and other direct costs relating to the success of the project. “It is one of those opportunities that if the DPA doesn’t pursue it, we will never know. I think we have as good an opportunity as anyone,” said Coun. Judy Sentes, one of council’s representatives on the downtown revitalization select committee.

Cookbook highlights Okanagan flavour Kristi Patton Western News Staff

Tales from a wild boar farm in Enderby to a wine pairing from the Compost Queen at Tinhorn Creek Winery, The Butcher, the Baker, The Wine and Cheese Maker is truly an Okanagan cookbook. But, don’t expect to find yet another cookbook slapped full or anonymous recipes. The Butcher, The Baker, The Wine & Cheese Maker — an Okanagan Cookbook, authored by food and wine columnist Jennifer Schell, is a love letter to her Okanagan farming roots and family. Inside you’ll find 200 pages with 53 recipes, but more importantly the story behind what goes into making each plate. “The farmers in the United States are actually being called star-mers. It is a renaissance that is happening and people are realizing that the farmers are actually pretty important because they are the ones growing our food and feeding us. They work so hard and have such a passion it is so exciting to see them get the spotlight,” said Schell. “I am a food and wine writer and the editor of Food and Wine Trails magazine, so I travel up and down the valley and have had the opportunity to meet all these people. Hearing their stories all the time and how important their relationships are with one another really inspired me to write this book.” Schell said she had always wanted to write a cookbook, and took a page from New Yorkbased writer Mark Bittman and dinners he

goes to where the chef would stand and speak about how the meal was prepared and the baker, butcher or rancher would stand and also share how the meat was raised. It tweaked something inside her and she came up with the idea of not only providing great recipes from top chefs in the Okanagan Valley, but their relationships that help them create the meals. “I think people are more conscious of where their food is coming from and definitely the eating local campaign is getting stronger and farmers markets are getting busier. It is a pretty exciting time I think,” said Schell. “The Okanagan Valley wine

world has been very publicized, but now our food world is too. We have amazing people from all over the world that are here farming and have restaurants — it is this melting pot of talent and it is exciting.” With over 120 contributors from farmers to winemakers, the book has been called the foodie bible to the Okanagan. Touching on her family roots as farmers in the Okanagan, Schell ensured that stories were told from one end of the valley to

the other. Her adventures even took her to Okanagan Game Meats in Enderby where she met the owner Richard Yntema, who also is one of the only licensed abattoirs in the Okanagan. “You look to one side of his farm and he has this beautiful deer pasture, then he takes me walking down this dirt road to this little forested area where it is kind of dark. He whispers ‘Walk quietly behind me and if you hear a huffing noise don’t move.’ Then we see all these really cute little boars run-

ning around,” said Schell. “His story is so interesting because his animals lead such wonderful lives and get to die at home. The laws have most animals being shipped to Alberta and it can be very traumatizing for them. A lot of these farmers are really pushing for changes to these laws.” Just like the many people Schell met during the course of writing her cookbook, the project has also been a labour of love for her. A portion of proceeds from the sales will be donated to FarmGate Foundation. These funds will be the seed money to launch this latest initiative in co-operation with the Okanagan Chefs Association. The foundation is focused on feeding the future with community gardens, an initiative for growing food for donation to the needy organizations, educational opportunities and more. The Butcher, The Baker, The Wine and Cheese Maker is now available for purchase through www. OkanaganCookbook. com or at various outlets in the Okanagan including The Bench Market and Hooked on Books in Penticton.

Harbinson not unhappy with Vees loss in Chilliwack Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Winless in three games without silver medal winners Troy Stecher, James de Haas, Wade Murphy and Michael Rebry, Fred Harbinson is not concerned about his team. The Vees lost 5-4 on Saturday to the Chilliwack Chiefs in what Harbinson, the Vees coachGM, described as their best of the three games. “We played extremely well,we played hard,” said Harbinson. “We had a lot of push back in our game. We didn’t give up a lot of chances from the second and third period and they seemed to find a way. If we gave up four grade A chances in the second and third combined, they scored three goals.” Harbinson is happy they are still one of the top teams in the league. They will welcome Stecher, de Haas, Murphy and Rebry back after they played in the gold medal game with Team Canada West against the United States during the World Junior A Challenge in Yarmouth, N.S. The Canadians found themselves trailing 2-0, then erased that lead to get ahead 3-2. However, the Americans still had more offence left to earn a 6-3 win. After the game, three Vees shared their feelings on Twitter. “I would like to thank everyone who supported the team over the tourny and thank the boys for giving me an unreal experience #TCW #memories,” wrote Murphy. “Would like to thank everyone who supported us along the way. Gold Medal then Silver Medal in two years leaves me speechless. #TheBoys #TCW,” wrote Stecher. “Thanks to everyone for all the support and to the city of Yarmouth for the hospitality! Unbelievable experience, will never forget the boys,” wrote de Haas. Harbinson said the gold medal match was a good hockey game. “Nothing for our guys to hang their heads about,” said Harbinson, who said while it was a tough couple of weeks for them in league action, the performances of the four and Dexter Dancs in the prospects game was good for the program. “They lost to a very good U.S. team. It was a really high-paced game. Not scoring on the 5-on-3 was obviously a critical moment.” Harbinson added he was proud of Stecher

PENTICTON VEES captain Troy Stecher looks to create a scoring chance with United States goalie Eamon McAdam keeping a close eye on him. Stecher was kept off the scoresheet as Team Canada West lost the gold medal game 6-3 to their American rivals. Stecher, Wade Murphy, James de Haas and Michael Rebry are all proud to return to Penticton with silver medals.

and Murphy making the all-star team for the tournament. Rebry didn’t play in the final game as he was injured and the Vees don’t know how long he will be out for. Once the four return for practice on Wednesday, they will meet their new teammate Brock Balson, acquired from the Salmon Arm SilverBacks last week for forward Evan Anderson and defenceman Mitch Ferguson. Balson debuted against the Merritt Centennials in a 3-2 loss alongside Sam Mellor and Brad McClure. “I thought it was up and down the whole game,” said Balson, who displayed a physical

side in his first game. “I thought I started out good. I think we’re just going to learn more about each other. Get to know our strengths and be a pretty good line to come I think.” Harbinson was very happy the way Balson played in his opening two games. “Balson played hard on both sides of the puck,” he said. “He blocked a shot, got in a fight to defend a teammate. He hadn’t played in two weeks. He will get better and better. Among the positives that Harbinson saw against Chilliwack was how Cody DePourcq played. Since moving him to centre, Harbinson has been thrilled with his play.

“No question, he is staying at centre,” said Harbinson. “I think he is a much better centreman. We moved him to centre last year and he’s doing a great job right now. (Jordan) McCallum is another player that played really well. I used both those guys killing penalties together. I was really happy with those guys.” He has also been pleased with newcomer Brayden Park, who joined the team from the Osoyoos Coyotes in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. On Wednesday, the Vees will look to end their four-game losing streak when they visit the Centennials.

Mustangs sweep rival Lakers in junior boys volleyball with Valleys nearing Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

The Princess Margaret Mustangs have added another championship. After taking the Central Okanagan League, the junior boys volleyball team are now South Zone champs. Undefeated at 20-0, the Mustangs swept the Lakers 25-8 and 25-17 Nov. 8 for the zone win in the South Okanagan Athletic Association.

Mustangs coach John Buckley is happy with how his team played. “Everyone got in the first game and we set an aggressive tone,” said Buckley. “Pen High stepped up and we didn’t have the same intensity.” The Mustangs enter the Valley championships held in Vernon Nov. 16 and 17 having not lost a match. Buckley said that his players have more confidence as they strive to earn a provincial berth.

“Kelowna Secondary School is our big rival,” said Buckley following the game. “They are the team to be ready for in Valleys.” Lakers coach Bo Boxall said has seen large improvements in his team. “We struggle against teams not as talented,” said Boxall. “We’re playing better ball, but we’re not at the (Mustangs) level. We battled with them and held our own. That’s a good game.” For Boxall and the Lakers, their goal is to finish top three in the Valleys as that will get them in provincials.

Coach happy with bantam Vees play Emanuel Sequeira

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Western News Staff

Julianne Keyes made her swim meet debut for the KISU swim club during their Iron Sprint Jamboree in mid-October. Keyes was pleased with her efforts in the front crawl, back stroke, breast stroke, 100-m individual medley and relay team despite injuring her ankle. Keyes, a former dancer, is described as a hard worker by coach Jane Bentley and is improving rapidly.

Work remains as the Smile Enhancement Bantam Tier 2 Vees strive to be a top team. The Vees won two of four games during their host tournament on the weekend. It’s the two games they didn’t win that bothered coach Doug MacMillan. Facing the Calgary Wranglers, the Vees played well but lost 5-2. Against the North Shore Winter Club Winterhawks they lost 3-2. MacMillan intentionally pitted his team against what he considered as the two top teams in the tournament to see how they would respond. “We need to get to that level,” said MacMillan. “It’s not where you are today, it’s where you end the season. We need to push our kids to be better.” Their two wins came against the Ridge Meadows Rustlers, 2-0, and Castlegar Rebels, 5-0. The Rebels finished the game with six skaters due to injury, suspension and one player skate

blade breaking during the game. The Vees built up a 2-0 lead midway through the first period. Jayden Doell deflected a point shot by Daylan Devlin to make it 3-0. Josh Maser scored the final two goals. His last one was a beauty as he took advantage of a Rebels turnover in their zone and let go a wrist shot that beat Solomon Burk high glove. “That’s what happens

when you pressure the puck,” said MacMillan on the final goal. “When you pressure the puck, everybody gets a little nervous and the next thing you know you have the puck on your stick.” That pressure game is what the Vees coaches preach. MacMillan was also impressed at how disciplined his group was the last two games. Their game against the

Rebels was physical at times with players dishing out big hits, not all of them clean. MacMillan said that’s what you get in games that “don’t mean much” and some teams can get “undisciplined.” Devlin said he felt the Vees played well after a tough start. Against the Rebels, he said they communicated well and took the body. “We were putting the

puck on net and getting the goals,” said Devlin, adding that Castlegar played well, but weren’t one of the stronger teams they played. Finishing the tournament with back-to-back shutouts by Shane Farkas and Alyck Coombes, MacMillan said it’s hard to complain with their play. Find the full story at www.pentictonwesternnews.com.

Season of learning for Cornett-Ching Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Normally third place is always better than sixth. That’s not the case if you’re Sarah CornettChing. The Summerland race driver finished third overall in the West Coast Sportsman Series Point Standings and sixth overall in the OK Tire ARCA West Sportsman Series. Cornett-Ching was disappointed with her result in the West Coast Sportsman Series because she was in the running for second overall going into the final race. A championship was within her grasp until the engine in her car blew up during the last practice at the Motoplex Speedway in Vernon. Cornett-Ching missed the entire round of qualifying, and the first heat race while waiting for her mother to drive from Summerland to Penticton to get her backup engine and bring it to Vernon. The new motor was installed in 45 minutes after its arrival. Cornett-Ching started the second round of heat races from the tail of the field, but determination pushed her through the pack to score a secondplace finish. CornettChing entered the race second in points, and despite her third-place finish in the feature, missing qualifying and the first heat race, would fall to third in points after the

The biggest thing Cornett-Ching gained from the season was experience and she learned the adjustments needed to be made at each course. The crew also kept good notes. Among the highlights of her season were having top three ﬁnishes and thinking back to the work her crew did to install the engine. She was “absolutely impressed” by their work. “That is more of a highlight,” said Cornett-Ching, who also enjoyed picking up the crew on a Friday afternoon to head for Prince George. “It’s all fun, the racing is the best part for me.” Next season Cornett-Ching intends to compete in the OK Tire ARCA West Sportsman Series for a third season. She will have a larger engine put in and is going for the championship. She is also looking into the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series in Vernon and Saskatoon and chasing the Rookie of the Year.

Carbon monoxide prevention

Gillian Frame was born with low vision, but it was not until her mid-30s that she was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, commonly referred to as RP. Genetics can play a large role in developing RP, but in Gillian’s case nobody else in her family has it. Frame isn’t able to pinpoint a specific day or year when she realized she was blind. It was a very gradual process of her vision deteriorating. Her first guide dog made the transition of vision loss much smoother. Frame and her dog Favor were matched in April 2011, but it wasn’t her first time being trained with a guide dog. “I’ve had two excellent dogs from Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind in the past,” says Frame. Overall, Frame is a very confident person, but since receiving her first guide dog, that confidence level has grown. Having a guide dog has enhanced Frame’s mobility and life and enabled her to have a more ‘regular’ life and routine. Prior to having a guide dog, Frame says, “I stopped going out between 10-2 during the day because of the bright sun. Sounds transmit louder during rainy nights and I also wouldn’t go out in the evening, especially if it was raining. The snow and the dark deterred me from going out. With a guide dog, I have no restrictions.” As with Frame’s past two dogs, Favor assists her in crossing the road in a straight line and finding the curb at the other side. Favor will also negotiate faster than Frame can, as the dog will see ahead and make proactive decisions, rather than reactive. “If I had a white cane, it would slow me down. With a dog, I can maintain a good speed.” In addition to the mobility enhancements, Frame says her life has been brightened by having her dog. “A dog is always happy to see you and doesn’t judge you. You are forced to be outside often in all seasons and you learn to appreciate nature and become a more patient person.” Gillian travelled from her home in Penticton to train at Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind in Ottawa, Ont. Although she had gone through the training course with her past two dogs, it was a good refresher. “Although I have never driven, it’s like a driver taking a retraining course to break bad habits. It would be like forgetting to signal, checking your mirror or coming to a complete stop. Guide dog users develop bad habits too that need to be broken.” It was also important for Frame to spend time developing a bond with Favor, so she feels as confident with her as with her past two guide dogs. “Without Favor, I would be on shaky ground. I would be much more frightened crossing roads, more clumsy and bumping into more things. In losing your vision, you lose trust in yourself and in others. With a guide dog, we build mutual trust so that she can provide mobility, confidence and companionship.”

Gillian Frame enjoys some time with her dog Favor, who has allowed her to lead a more normal life since being provided by the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind.

Frame’s entire outlook is a positive one. Despite being blind, her world is full of ‘vision and colour’. “People think when you’re blind you see nothing but blackness. Perhaps I do, I don’t know. My other senses are enhanced, and I see everything through my memory and imagination. Because of my guide dogs, my life has taken a different route. I am happy all the time.” Frame applied to Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind, for the first time, after observing a friend’s experience with a guide dog. Frame has been pleased with the service she’s received. Now, working with Favor, her third guide dog, Frame says, “I returned to Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind based on the organization’s reputation. The staff was very good at explaining things to me, and they are friendly and informative”. Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind was established as a registered charity in 1984. Since that time, Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind has provided professionally trained guide dogs to Canadians who are visually impaired from coast to coast. More information on the organization can be found online at www.guidedogs. ca.

per cent support from the locals. They would be very involved selling food, drinks or helping with whatever we needed to collaborate with us. It was very rewarding for both sides,” said Soma. “It was very alien to them. I was putting on productions where the local people may have not even seen a CD player before. So imagine when you have a large group of people coming from all over the world to an all-night dance party — being involved bridged that gap quite nicely.” Soma said he likes working as a community of musicians to come up with creative production and shies away from clubs where he said it is more about drinking, picking up a date and being an individual. “Paul’s idea of the gallery is a great idea and ties into what I think will be a really great next move for what the SomaSoundSystem is doing. That is, putting on a really great event or festival in a different environment and having a few

days to put together a community. It is so different from a club where you get there at 10 p.m. You can’t talk to anyone because the music is so loud and you usually only know the people you came with,” said Stef. “This is like that old tribal culture coming together to share as a community and then combining it with modern art.” On the weekend workshops will be held on both days from noon to 5 p.m. and are open to anyone with admission by donation. The Saturday workshops include a sitar workshop, music production, music production/ mixing-advanced techniques and a networking session. On Sunday, starting at noon, are a DJ workshop, PA and live sound installations, event promotion and a networking session. For more information on upcoming exhibitions that are part of The End Of The World As We Know It, visit www.pentictonartgallery.com.

Is Coming to Size You Up

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.

Chapman is coming to PENTICTON ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27TH to outfit you with the best possible bra

for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a oneon-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.” Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

A cross pollination of worlds will come together when electronic music meets the Penticton Art Gallery. On Friday the gallery will be hosting four experienced electronic music producers to kick off their new exhibit. “Next week is going to be a dance event. These are topflight musicians and professional DJs who have international experience throwing parties, organizing events and doing incredible stuff,” said art gallery curator, Paul Crawford. “It is going to be a phenomenal night and a great weekend of dancing and culture.” It is the first of six different exhibits running over sixweeks at the Penticton Art Gallery under the title The End Of The World As We Know It. This will feature artist collectives from across the province in music, visual arts, design, DJs and installations. Those events

will take place on the Fridays followed by two days of workshops. Both are entrance by donation and all-ages events. On Friday, ShaMANoid, J.A. DJ, Dubtecha and Psyentifica will be delivering their sets to an all-ages audience from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. Stef Soma (aka ShaMANoid) brings a fusion of cutting-edge electronica and acoustic tribal and world music. The British producer, who is now established in B.C., has travelled the world performing at festivals and unique venues. Soma helped organize secret electro gatherings at sacred sites in Mexico and Guatemala at the top of Mayan temples, archeological sites and sacred caves. From a backpacking journey, Soma landed a job as a diving instructor and then created a mobile production unit with generators, lights and DJ gear. “It was off the scale how amazing it was. It was always renegade style with never disclosed locations but with 100
