CITY SWEPT UP IN CURLING EVENT Steve Kidd

Though the Continental Cup didn’t generate as many ticket sales as expected, it’s still being hailed as a successful event by both the event managers and local organizers. “The fans were light. But Saturday and Sunday were good, Friday night was good. But I think by the sounds of it, it probably averaged out to where they wanted to see the numbers,” said Kim Kirkham, chair of the host committee. The event did carry a cost for Penticton, with a $55,000 grant in kind from the city to the host committee used to cover the costs of a 10-day rental of the South Okanagan Events Centre. The returns promised, however, were substantial. “Money well spent and I can’t say enough about the people that were involved in it and how they portrayed Penticton,” said Mayor Dan Ashton. “We all want more attendance, but they were ecstatic with the facilities, the volunteers were unbelievable.” Ashton notes that the event received close to 30 hours coverage on TSN, which included not only having the host city mentioned often, but briefs showing the city and “Penticton” in the ice every time a rock slid down the sheet. “You can’t buy that kind of advertising for that price,” said Ashton, who said a representative from Las Vegas, where the 2014 Cup will be hosted, complimented not only how the Cup was handled, but the area. “He couldn’t believe this area,” said Ashton, who responded with “and it only gets better, this is the worst time of the year to come, these three months. You ought to see what it is like the other nine months.” According to the staff analysis presented to council when they upped the grant from the original $38,500 to $55,000, the event was expected to draw an attendance of 25,000 with an economic impact to the city of about $2 million. The SOEC was expecting to generate $150,000 in event cost revenues plus food, beverage and a percentage of merchandise sales. Based on estimates from the Canadian Curling Association, Penticton’s host committee was also expected to receive upwards of $80,000, of

which $27,500 would be paid back to the city to be held in a reserve account for future improvements to the Penticton Curling Club. “We won’t be that high. Some of the events might have been around that mark, but definitely not our event,” said Kirkham. “We will get a por-
tion of the 50/50 funds and a small portion of the ticket sales after all the expenses have come off.” As a local non-profit organization, Kirkham said, they weren’t taking any financial risk, that was all on the part of the Canadian Curling Association.
“We didn’t have any risk, we only stand to gain something, of which a portion of our 50/50 will go back to the city, but the number I don’t know yet,” she said. Dean Clarke, Global Spectrum’s general manager for the SOEC, was also pleased with the results of the event, which was a rental contract involving both the events centre and the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre. “I think it met its budgeted numbers as far as the buildings were concerned,” said Clarke, who said that thanks to previous experience with Continental Cups in the Global Spectrum family, they were well ahead of the curve in hosting the event. “The CCA, they could not stop complimenting those three things: my staff; the building; and the local organizing committee,” said Clarke. “I think it has woken up Canadian Curling for bigger events. We did a great job, better than most, and we’ve got to be a part of that conversation now.” Mark Ziebarth, chair of the SOEC select committee, said the decision to waive the rental fees for the Continental Cup did not come before the committee, but it would not be uncommon for the Global team to waive the rental fee for a guarantee of revenue from other directions.” “We do it with the trade and convention centre all the time. The thinking being: ‘Hello, Mr. Association, you don’t have to pay the rental fee, as long as you guarantee $200,000 of food and beverage at your four-day event,’” said Ziebarth. “If the committee had a say in this, we would have encouraged them to try this, to work it out, but it just didn’t come to the committee.” Even if the decision to waive rental fees had been a poor or marginal outcome, Ziebarth said it is necessary to try these events to see what works. “It is the same kind of challenge we are going to face with Challenge Penticton, where we have to start, not quite from ground zero, but at a lower level and build it up,” said Ziebarth. “Barb Haynes (executive director for Challenge Penticton) and the city team are going to have to figure out what works and what doesn’t work. It’s the same thing with Global, they’re trying to see what will work and what won’t work.”

Declining health blamed for senior’s crime spree Kristi Patton Western News Staff
The lawyer for a senior sentenced on a range of charges from uttering threats to assault is blaming his client’s declining mental and physical health for the crimes. Wendall Larkin, 75, pleaded guilty at the

A Penticton store clerk was robbed at knifepoint on Sunday evening. RCMP resounded to a hold-up alarm from the Foodland store located at 698 Westminster Ave. at 8:42 p.m. The clerk advised police that a female entered the store wearing a flesh-coloured mask and a red bandana over her head. The robber produced a knife and black reusable shopping bag and demanded money from the till. The clerk
gave the woman the money from the till which was placed in the black bag and the suspect departed. The suspect is described as being five-foot-three to five-foot-five, wearing a white jacket, gloves and black pants. A Penticton RCMP police service dog unit and officers searched the area but were unable to locate the suspect. RCMP continue to investigate the incident and ask anyone with information to contact them at 250-492-4300 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Judge Korturbash said the senior’s criminal charges which have grown more violent over the past three years are of concern to the community. “If you are going to be living in an assisted living home you need to behave yourself because I don’t think they will put up with any of this,” said Korturbash.

Canadian border seizures outpace U.S. CBSA officers tasked with clearing travellers “use a risk-management approach to facilitate legitimate travel and trade while focusing on higher or unknown risks,” the statement said. It also noted that all goods purchased out of country must be declared, and failure to do so could result in permanent seizure or a penalty to get them back. Undeclared alcohol and tobacco, however, will be seized with no terms of release.

American border guards at the Osoyoos land crossing made fewer seizures and generated fewer complaints than their Canadian counterparts did in 2011, according to a Western News analysis. For the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, 2011, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents stationed at the crossing were the subjects of 18 complaints and made 123 seizures, according to documents provided through freedom of information legislation. Their counterparts from the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) sparked 22 complaints and made 175 seizures during the 2011 calendar year, according to similar documents obtained under this country’s access to information law.

Canadian Complaints
All 24 complaints (see synopsis on page 4) against CBSA officers at the Osoyoos crossing were relatively minor in nature, according to the redacted investigation documents. One unhappy customer said an officer “displayed attitude that ‘would have gotten him punched in the nose’ in other settings,” while another claimed she was laughed at when she asked to be served in French. The information package did not include details about any disciplinary measures against the officers involved, due to apparent privacy issues, and the documents were redacted to make it unclear whether or not the complaints were found to have merit. “Normally, they keep it very confidential,” said Jean-Pierre Fortin, national president of the Customs and Immigration Union, which represents about 6,000 CBSA officers across Canada. Officers who are the focus of a complaint and found to be at fault face a range of discipline, from verbal reprimands to dismissal, said Fortin, adding his members are seen in the same light as police “who are exposed probably in the same way we are.” The CBSA said in a statement that 550,849 people entered Canada through the port of Osoyoos in 2011 and that its employees “are held to a

very high standard.” “Any behaviour that falls short of this expectation is addressed immediately,” the statement continued, and “employees are subject to the same laws as all Canadians.”
ameriCan Complaints
The CBP office did not provide information about the nature of the complaints nor disciplinary action against the officers involved, citing privacy provisions of its freedom of information law. However, the 18 complaints represent grievances from just a fraction of the 512,520 people who passed through the Osoyoos crossing into the U.S. in 2011, noted Ronald Arrigoni, the CBP’s regional port director. Arrigoni added that his officers also refused entry to 874 people that year and the people who were turned around likely lodged some of the complaints.

if you can grow it, hunt it, feed it or eat it, don’t bring it in. — Luca Furnare
“When you’re going to send 874 people back, there are going to be people who aren’t happy. That’s just the nature of it,” he said. Regardless, Arrigoni added, anyone who feels wronged by an officer at the border should go into the CBP office there and ask for the boss. “We take every complaint seriously. And if anybody has an issue we always encourage them to speak to a supervisor no matter what.”
CBSA staff seized 175 items headed for Canada worth about $656,000 in 2011, according to the documents. Drugs were the most commonly seized item, accounting for 49 of the grabs. Marijuana was taken 18 times while 26 other drug seizures were classified as “other.” The next most commonly intercepted items were vehicles, trailers and parts, accounting for a total of 28 seizures, followed by prohibited weapons, including switchblades, revolvers and stun guns, which were nabbed 16 times. Rounding out the top five seizures were alcohol, and aircrafts and boats, with eight each. The majority of the goods seized, such as booze or vehicles, were purchased in the U.S. but taken from Canadians, the CBSA statement said, while the majority of prohibited items, like drugs or handguns, were confiscated from Americans.
On the other side of the line, fruits and vegetables were the most frequently seized items by CBP officers at Osoyoos during 2011. The most commonly taken items in that category were citrus fruits and tomatoes. Luca Furnare, agricultural program manager at the CBP’s Seattle field office, said the U.S. keeps a close eye on produce entering the country to protect its own crops from pests and disease. The ever-changing list of banned items is available online at www. aphis.usda.gov, but Furnare said the rule of thumb is easy to remember: “If you can grow it, hunt it, feed it or eat it, don’t bring it in.” Marijuana paraphernalia, including pipes and grinders, was intercepted 30 times, making it the second most common seizure, followed by marijuana 27 times. Cuban cigars were confiscated eight times, while guns and ammunition were intercepted seven times to fill out the top five. Arrigoni estimated about 80 per cent of the travellers his staff check at Osoyoos are Canadians who live in the area and are crossing the line to shop, so they generally know the rules. He added that even when Washington completes the decriminalization of marijuana later this year, that doesn’t mean B.C. bud will be able to travel freely across the border. “That’s a Washington state law and we’re a federal agency, and for us the law still hasn’t changed,” Arrigoni said. “Marijuana’s still a violation of federal law and if anybody brings it down they’re going to be subject to federal prosecution.”

BORDER - Officers the subject of a variety of complaints Joe Fries Western News Staff
Below is a summary of some of the 22 complaints filed against Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) staff members at the Osoyoos border crossing in 2011,
according to documents provided to the Western News. Details that would tend to identify either the officers involved or the complainant were redacted, as were the exact dates of the incidents and whether or not
CBSA substantiated any of the allegations.
January
A man who was moving permanently to Canada from the U.S. thought it unreasonable that he was asked to declare the value of everything he had with him,
including the clothes on his back. He also took exception to the sounds an officer made while checking the well-being of a horse he had in a trailer, and noted that despite aggressively questioning he and his girlfriend
about carrying guns, CBSA officers never actually searched their truck or trailer. The man said he and his girlfriend were the only civilians in the port office that night and the officers appeared to be bored and harassing them just to pass the time.
*****
A smarter way to save.
Rough handling of a man’s grocery bags by a CBSA officer caused a milk container to leak all over the back of his vehicle, the man complained, and then when he asked the female officer if everything was back in place, she “giggled like a school girl and said, ‘Yeah.’” He also alleged that one of the officers slammed the side door of his van so hard that it loosened the hinges. The complainant asked for a written apology from two officers and their supervisor.
March
Despite “urgently” needing to use a washroom, a woman who was
taken inside the CBSA office for a secondary inspection complained she was not allowed to do so until her purse and pockets were searched. The woman also complained that the 104 minutes it took for the secondary inspection was too long and that she was laughed at when she requested service in French and told, “We don’t have to because we’re in B.C.”
april
A man complained that he and his wife were “treated like naughty children” when told to dispose of onions and any other items that were not allowed entry, and were lectured about researching beforehand what they’re allowed to transport across the border into Canada. The complainant was also told he would be subject to a $400 fine for each banned item subsequently found, and that the officer went on to “rave about how much produce is put in landfills everyday and the
need to hire people to dispose of it.”
May
Three officers “ganged up” on an elderly man who had a few rounds of ammunition in his vehicle, then harassed him and demanded to know what guns he owned and where he kept them, according to the complainant, who said one officer “displayed attitude that ‘would have gotten him punched in the nose’ in other settings.” The complainant bemoaned the “deplorable state of affairs” and said he’d rarely seen such a “despicable misuse of authority.”
July
A complainant alleged that during an inspection of her motorhome, the lid to her blender went missing and an inflatable air mattress was damaged. She requested that if the lid could not be found, that she be reimbursed for it. The woman also claimed the inspection took too long.

Housing market remains stable Steve Kidd Western News Staff
A large drop in property sales through December isn’t causing concern for realtor Judy Klassen. The president of the South Okanagan Real Estate board said that December is traditionally a slow month for real estate sales. Though there was a 45 per cent drop in December 2012 as compared to the same month in 2011, Klassen said the market was overall stable through 2012. “As realtors, we find that a lot of people don’t want to move during Christmas,” said Klassen, noting that this is just a comparison for the single month. “Everywhere you will notice there are drops normally in sales at this time of year.” Klassen said sales are down a little bit throughout the South Okanagan. “2012 was just a year where
things dropped a bit everywhere,” she said. “Basically we have a flat market. The first half of 2012 was good, the second half we went down a bit.” Statistics released by SOREB show that larger centres in the South Okanagan experienced a decline in home sales, while smaller communities, like Naramata, Kaleden and Princeton, had small increases in sales. Throughout the area, 52 units were sold, compared to 95 in December 2011. That translates to a decrease in sales of 41 per cent: $17,230,600 in December 2012 compared to $28,987,700 in December 2011. At the same time, the average selling price of a single family home was up, increasing from $331,358 to $305,134 over the same region through December. “For buyers, it’s a good time to buy. Interests rates are good. I think a lot of consumers are in a wait-
and-see attitude, waiting to see if prices are going to fall some more,” said Klassen, who thinks that prices have reached their lower limit. “Prices are up a little bit, but nothing significant. No huge price increases in most areas,” said Klassen. “I think buyers will realize that now is the time to buy, that prices aren’t going to get much lower.” “We will start to see a bit of a pickup. Overall, year to date, the South Okanagan looked to be about a two per cent drop over year to year,” she said. Klassen predicts more of the same for 2013, that the market will remain stable. “There could be a modest increase in sales, but I don’t expect anything, no significant increases until 2014,” she said. “We are pretty much in a stable market. Year to year, we are basically up two per cent. And I don’t expect there to be too much of a drop over this year.”
The Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) is frequently called “a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) for everything else beyond retirement.” Unlike with an RRSP, you can access the money in your TFSA with no tax consequences for any need, and the amounts withdrawn are added back to your contribution limit amount in the following year. Any Canadian resident who has reached the age of majority can contribute up to $5,500* annually to a TFSA. But when should you consider this type of savings plan? A TFSA may be useful if: • You are a younger investor. If you are currently in a low tax bracket and expect to be in a higher bracket in the future, contributing to a TFSA may be best for you. RRSPs offer tax savings if your income is in a higher tax bracket when you contribute to the plan and in a lower bracket when you withdraw. By contributing to a TFSA while in a low tax bracket, your investments grow tax free. When your tax rate is higher, you

Another letter from the local school board is on its way to Victoria to complain about the Education Ministry’s cash-handling skills. The board of the Okanagan Skaha School District voted Monday to send a letter to express its “displeasure” about the possibility of the ministry holding back $15 million it feels should go directly to districts around B.C. District finance director Maureen Maywood said the ministry annually holds back portions of its perstudent funding to deal with fluctuations in enrolment, but the cash is generally released to districts by the end of the year. This year, however, she’s been told by ministry staff that $15 million in holdback money might instead be used to offset “other possible cost pressures (the ministry) may be under” Maywood noted that isn’t yet certain as “there were other things that they were looking at doing with that $15 million. It may come back to the districts in another form as part of their (annual facilities grant) funding.” Regardless, board chair Ginny Manning said trustees still feel the need to weigh in on the matter now. “It’s not bonus money,” she said. “It’s money that should be going to districts for their classrooms.” Secretary-treasurer Ron Shongrunden said the holdback funding totalled about $188,000 in his district last year.
The school board also wrote to Education Minister Don McRae in late December to protest his request that districts across B.C. come up with savings plans by mid-January to offset expected wage increases for support staff. For the Okanagan Skaha School District, that meant finding about $300,000 over the next two years. Trustees were told Monday that 44 of 60 districts in B.C. had sent similar letters to the education minister, who reportedly apologized earlier this month to the head of the B.C. School Trustees Association. Manning said McRae is now “certainly well aware of the consternation of districts” and agreed to further discussion with the BCSTA on funding for support staff wage increases. She noted that the district never did draft a savings plan, but was unable to say if the minister had backed down from his request. Family Dentistry

Political infighting costly for Liberals

n the sporting world, there’s a sure sign when things aren’t going well for a team: Players begin to point fingers at their teammates and find fault with decisions made by management. The same holds true for politics, which has become a blood sport in Boundary-Similkameen. A huge and apparently insurmountable rift has developed between the B.C. Liberal Party and John Slater, the riding’s MLA, along with much of the local party executive. So bitter has the relationship become that Slater has quit the Liberal caucus and vowed to run in the spring election as an independent. Problems developed when the Liberal party refused to endorse Slater’s candidacy papers that had been filed in September. Party officials would only cite personal issues that would impact Slater’s ability to represent the party. However, whispers and speculation indicated that a drinking problem was behind the Liberals’ decision to oust Slater. For his part, Slater denies having a problem with alcohol, and by all indications the former Osoyoos mayor remains popular with his constituents. It is more than a little ironic that Slater claimed the Liberal nomination in 2009 after the party turfed Joe Cardoso. Slater ended up winning that election by just over 800 votes over the NDP’s Lakhvinder Jhaj — a total no doubt made closer by the strong showing of Cardoso, who ran as a Conservative. Whatever the reason, the party infighting seems almost certain to strip BoundaryPENTICTON from WESTERN Similkameen the Liberals’ grasp. And with Adrian Dix and the NDP leading handily in all the polls only a few months out from the election, one would expect the Liberals to fight tooth and nail to hang on to every potential path to victory. But the battle now raging in Boundary-Similkameen has made that path a little more narrow.

French stars look to Russia with love It’s as if Paul Newman and Jane Fonda had fled the U.S. in protest at something or other — they were always protesting — and sought Russian citizenship instead. Americans would be surprised, but would they really care? It’s a free country, as they say. Whereas the French are quite cross about the decision of Oscarwinning actor Gerard Depardieu, who received Russian citizenship at the hands of President Vladimir Putin personally last Saturday. A taxi driver in Paris went on at me about it for the whole ride yesterday. (Talking to taxi drivers is how we journalists keep our fingers on the pulse of the nation.) After 42 years of starring in French films, Depardieu had acquired the status of “national treasure” in the eyes of the public, but he clearly does not reciprocate their loyalty and pride. And hard on the heels of Depardieu’s defection comes the news that actress Brigitte Bardot, France’s leading sex symbol for the generation who are now drawing their pensions, is also threatening to give up her French citizenship and go Russian. Depardieu, who was described by director Marguerite Duras as “a big, beautiful runaway truck of a man,” is much larger than life — about the size of a baby whale, in fact. He is over the top in every sense: 180 films and TV credits, 17 motorbike accidents, five or six
Gwynne Dyer
Dyer Straits bottles of wine a day by his own reckoning. He reckons he has paid 145 million euros ($190 million) in taxes since he started work at 14, and he doesn’t want to pay any more. France’s Socialist government is bringing in a new 75 per cent tax rate for people earning more than one million euros ($1.3 million) per year, and so Depardieu is leaving. Initially he was just moving to Belgium, to a village 800 metres from the French border that already hosts a number of other super-rich tax exiles, but then French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said that his decision was “shabby and unpatriotic.” At this point, Belgium was no longer far enough. When the outraged actor declared that he would ask for Russian citizenship, Putin (who
knows how to play to the gallery) announced that he could have it at once. By the weekend it was a done deal. “I adore your country, Russia, your people, your history, your writers,” the actor burbled. “...Russia is a country of great democracy.” It is also a country with a 13 per cent flat tax rate, and Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin crowed on Twitter: “In the West, they are not well acquainted with our tax system. When they find out, we can expect a mass migration of rich Europeans into Russia.” He had barely finished tweeting when another French celebrity said she was also thinking of moving to Russia. It wasn’t high taxes that obsessed Brigitte Bardot, however; it was animal rights. She was protesting a court order in Lyon ordering that two circus elephants that have been suffering from tuberculosis since 2010 be put down. “If those in power are cowardly and impudent enough to kill the elephants,” she raged, “then I will ask for Russian nationality to get out of this country which has become nothing more than an animal cemetery.” But elephants aside, going Russian opens up a huge new opportunity for avoiding burdensome taxation. All those American millionaires who have been condemned by recent events to live under the rule of that foreign-
born Muslim Communist, Barack Obama, and pay an appalling 39.6 per cent tax on the portion of their annual earnings that exceeds $400,000, have an alternative at last. They can do exactly what they have been telling anybody who complains about the gulf between the rich and the poor in America to do for decades: they can go to Russia. The only problem is that they will actually have to live there for six months of the year to qualify for the 13 per cent Russian tax rate. Well, actually, there is another problem. Some Russians may not welcome them with open arms. Even the arrival of Depardieu, who is world-famous in Russia as a result of acting in several high-profile Franco-Russian coproductions and appearing in television ads for credit cards from the Sovietski Bank, is being greeted with mixed feelings. Fellow celebrity Tina Kandelaki, the celebrated host of the celebrity talk show Details for the past 11 years, has no reservations about him at all: he can stay in her apartment. “Let’s not divide up Depardieu,” she tweeted. “Simply give him to me.” But a less starryeyed observer replied: “Haven’t we got enough alcoholics?” Evidently not. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Utility charges going down the drain Despite the fact that there is only forecast to be a $40,000 surplus in the water utility at the end of 2013, Penticton city council voted to spend $1.1 million of the $3.6 million we received from the West Bench as part of their water services contract. This council has been different in many respects including their zero rate increases in taxation. While this is a laudable achievement in the present uncertain economic times, it should be noticed that despite the general erosion of reserves that there have been significant increases in fees ranging from dog licences to water rates and electricity fees as well. Many people are unhappy with the increases in user fees, however, the upside is that user fees are a fairer system of use of services than a hike in Penticton property taxation. Remember we also supply West Bench with water now. Both Councillors Vassilaki and Konanz opposed the $1.2

Nominations invited
The eighth annual Women Front & Centre Gala Awards, Dinner & Dance will be held March 2 at the Penticton Lakeside Resort. The event is tied in with month-long celebrations centered on International Women’s Day. This fun evening is twofold — celebrating the achievements of women in our communities of the South Okanagan and at the same time raising funds for the South Okanagan Women In Need Society. We invite women and men of the South Okanagan to nominate that special person — you know her. Women who are role models and advocates and use their talents, vision and de-

Vassilaki, little will change except a few trees and benches. Vassilaki’s alternate proposal to use $1 million in surplus funds to upgrade water and sewer lines downtown was rejected. Vassilaki said many of the existing water lines near downtown are too small to provide enough water for adequate fire protection for any new higher density developments, and we should be doing a major water and sewer upgrade such as last year’s Ellis Street project every year. In conversation with Mitch Moroziuk, the director of operations, I was told depending on soil conditions, sewers can last up to 100 years and the average replacement for Penticton is 55 years.

All rights should be equal
The First Nations appear to be on the ‘warpath’, letting the white man know that they are not satisfied with the status quo, but the white man has some issues also. For instance, how come the Aboriginals have the right to control the nation’s natural resources? Next, they complain about their living conditions on the reserves, but they do not explain why they are not personally responsible for these conditions and why they are not fixing the situation themselves instead of asking for more government handouts. In our world, if we are not satisfied with the living conditions or the lack of employment in our area, we simply move to a more suitable place, but the Aboriginals are shackled by the reserve system and still they want to maintain this system rather than integrating with the rest of us Canadians.
My leaking sewer was replaced at 67 years. More leaking sewers are being replaced this year. I sent Mr. Moroziuk a questionnaire on leaking sewers which included the following two questions: If averages are done on a whole city basis then newer construction or newer areas could dramatically skew the results and would not present a true figure of actual age of individual sewers and water lines and problem areas. For example, what is the age of the sewer and water lines in the older parts of the city, downtown business and downtown residential area? What budgetary plans have been put in place to ensure these lines are replaced before they collapse and how many tax dollars are in reserve to ensure necessary work is done? I have not received a reply.
Yes they have rights, but those rights should not be at the expense of the majority, and at present it appears that they have more rights than the rest of us in Canada. If we were to blockade any reserve they would call foul and we would face criminal charges. We are all Canadians, some by birth and others by choice, so we should all benefit from our democratic way of life equally and not by ancient and completely worn-out treaties that are 200 years old. My wife is of Native heritage and is rightly proud of her heritage and I am proud to support her, but this show of ingratitude and the apparent lack of self determination by the Natives only diminishes the respect that these great people deserve. The Aboriginals would do well to follow the Osoyoos band and learn how they have prospered by developing their land and have become a great asset to the whole Okanagan community and to their reserve as well. My hat is off to these hard-working Natives and I wish them well in the future. Donald E. Thorsteinson Oliver
Change is overdue
Idle no more! Thank God, it’s about bloody time. Fine, OK, you want change, then let’s do it. Change is far overdue. There are no words in the English language strong enough to describe the terrible injustices heaped upon North American First Nations, but it’s time to bury the past. You cannot blame the white people any longer. There is need of a revitalization, something that our political leaders seem incapable of providing so the initiative and new ideas must come from the First Nations community collectively.
Elvena Slump Penticton
The dysfunctional and racist Indian Act is suffocating and robbing people of the incentive to be enterprising. It needs to be done away with now, starting with the elimination of the reserve system. Should have happened years ago. Jamming people onto far-flung camps is inhumane. This road does not go anywhere except to breed broken people and sink them into poverty. Integration into mainstream society needn’t mean losing your cultural identity, but can be the path to prosperity. The incentive must begin with the Native communities, and until this takes place nothing will change. To argue otherwise is to join the majority and do nothing. Paul Crossley Penticton

It will give a huge, impactful wall of sound — Scott Wilson
returning to play in Oliver on Feb.8 as Duo Rendezvous with violinist Jasper Wood, said Guitar Concerto D has emotional appeal. He said the composer wrote it at a difficult time in his life when his wife was pregnant and he was looking forward to having a child. The second movement was written at the time his wife gave birth to a stillborn and was fighting for her own life. “It came from a very deep place and he managed to create a very moving melody that almost everyone that hears it wants to cry. He managed to connect the music to that feeling very well,” said Bolshoy. The Youth Symphony of the Okanagan will also be join-
ing the OSO to fill the stage with 100 musicians performing at the Cleland Community Theatre on Saturday. General manager of the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra Scott Wilson said the energy and enthusiasm coupled with the guitar sounds of Bolshoy will be unparalleled and will tempt the audience to get up and dance in the aisles. “This is the largest orchestral force that we have ever deployed,” said Wilson. “It will give a huge, impactful wall of sound for those in the audience.

If you have never been to the symphony, this weekend might be one of the best concerts for a first-timer, promises guest artist Daniel Bolshoy. Bringing his fiery guitar for the Spanish-flavoured program Espana, Bolshoy said not only will it feature some upbeat tempos but also music that almost everyone has heard at some point. The Concierto de Aranjuez and the Rodrigo guitar concerto is quite famous as well as composer Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, who was an important Hollywood composer in the 50s. “If you have never heard classical music or never been to the symphony this is a good concert to start from because the guitar is very familiar so people will connect to it and the tunes because the melody from the middle movement is so familiar,” said Bolshoy. The guitarist, who will be
thinking as one, governed by ideas that were written down as many as hundreds of years ago. It is really quite remarkable.” The five pieces in this concert represent vigorous rhythms, expansive melodies and direct emotional appeal. Espana, written by Emmanuel Chabrier, is a boisterous rhapsody with a folk music feel, Saudades is an emotional piece by composer John Estacio where melancholy, nostalgia, anger, frustration and solitude are felt. The concert then moves into Concerito de Aranjuez which is a fusion of colourful and classical music. Guitar Concerto D, written by Castelnuovo-Tedesco provides a serene story of the composer’s life in Italy. The concert then has a Spanish, fiery closing with the piece Capricci Espagnol written by composer Nicola Rimsky-Korsakov. Espana runs Jan. 19 at the Cleland. Tickets are available at the Penticton Wine Information Centre or online via www. okanagansymphony.com.

Many of us are attempting to finally do things we left neglected in 2012. For me, that means perusing a big list of enticing yet unopened books. At the top of my stack for January was the Governor General’s Award winner The Purchase, by Linda Spalding. As I suspected it turned out to be one of the best books of last year. The Purchase is inspired by a historical character from Spalding’s own family. Her distant ancestor, Daniel Dickinson, was a devout Quaker living in Pennsylvania in the 1800s. After being made a widower by the birth of his fifth child, Daniel quickly re-marries a 15-yearold Methodist. Unfortunately, this is an unforgiveable act for a Quaker, and his community shuns him. Daniel loads his children and new wife into a wagon and heads for Virginia, a state where the land is all but free. The problem is that black people are not. As a Quaker, and therefore a staunch abolitionist, Daniel is warned against trying to live in a place where slavery is allowed. Daniel is sure that he can avoid slavery. Yet, soon enough, he attends a slave auction, and whether mistakenly or not, purchases a young boy. This one decision is a disastrous turning point in Daniel’s life. He vows that he will treat the slave fairly, and will eventually set him free. But Daniel finds this isn’t an easy promise to keep when living amongst a society of slaves and slave owners.
Spalding explores a perplexing question: how do people end up making decisions that are so counter to their own moral ideals? Tragedy and misery follow the purchase of the slave. Spalding shows how truly difficult it is to keep one wrong decision from bubbling over and seeping into the rest of your life — and the lives of those around you. Of course, no one today agrees with keeping slaves, but still we are often tempted by choices counter to our own moral compass. Over the holidays a relative confided in me that he is considering going up north to work in the oil patch. He also said this choice would compromise his family life and environmental ideals. “But it’ll just be for a short time,” he told me. “Until I get back on my feet.” After reading The Purchase I am less certain that he’ll be able to successfully separate this work from the rest of his life. Though set in the United States, The Purchase is written from a profoundly Canadian perspective. It’s sometimes hard to pinpoint the differences between our two countries — but Spalding shows that founding a country on the backs of slaves is one of those decisions which profoundly affects a society for centuries to come. The Purchase is an illuminating, thoughtful and beautifully-written story. Feel free to send your suggestions for the best book of 2012, and I’ll add them to my list.

Triathlete turns accident into inspirational story Kristi Patton
Western News Staff
She came as close to death as one could, said a doctor, and now a Penticton triathlete’s story of recovery is being shared on the big screen. A Second Chance: The Janelle Morrison Story is an inspiring documentary directed by Rob Kelly of Kelly Brothers Productions. “It doesn’t have to do only with triathletes or athletes in general, it is a life thing. It is a fall down seven times and stand up eight kind of story,” said Morrison. In November of 2010 Morrison, an elite athlete looking to improve upon her third place position at her debut Ironman Canada race, was in a near-fatal car accident near Revelstoke. A minivan lost control, crossed the centre line and collided with her Toyota Matrix leaving it a pile of twisted metal. Morrison’s feet were jammed into her console, taking rescuers more than three hours to get her out of the wreck. Had the rescue taken any longer, the tools to amputate her leg were going to be used. Her injuries were extensive, including a ruptured diaphragm, punctured lung and many broken bones. She was put into a medically-induced coma and doctors said had it not been for exceptional physical condition she would not have survived her injuries. A

Janelle Morrison (at left) was in a devastating car accident in 2010 that threatened the triathlete’s life. Kelly Brothers Productions captured her inspirational story on the road to recovery in A Second Chance: The Janelle Morrison Story which is showing in Penticton next week.
Second Chance follows Morrison on her road to recovery and goal to complete the Ironman in Penticton once again. Last summer, Morrison accomplished that goal in the 30th and final Ironman race in the city , finishing third in the women’s pro category. “My coach was skeptical because I had limited running miles and tendonitis, but I really felt strongly within myself that I wanted
my first Ironman back to be in Penticton,” said Morrison, who will race in Challenge Penticton this August. A huge part of her recovery involved the making of the documentary. Morrison said video diaries she filmed were better than any type of counselling or therapy she could have had. As well, speaking engagements Morrison has been conducting to tell her story have helped her come to terms with what
happened. Throughout it all she assigned no blame. “I don’t think the people driving meant to cause an accident that day and that was not going to help me heal. I can get angry at the drivers or insurance companies causing stress or I can focus on what I need to in order to heal. That is the way I chose to see everything. It is not that I had rose coloured glasses on. I definitely had feelings to deal with

and I did not deal with everything perfectly, but that kind of anger or blame doesn’t help overcome things,” said Morrison. The athlete praised the director for allowing things to occur naturally and not being invasive while she was training and in recovery. This is the third showing of A Second Chance in a theatre setting. It screened in Calgary and the town she was born in, Fort St. John, but Morrison said this one will be special for her. “The Okanagan Valley and Penticton especially, the community and support here has been overwhelming. I really feel that the support that people within this community provided and even the nature of this place is healing. I really feel being here had a really great impact on my recovery,” said Morrison. “I had a lot of support in so many ways it’s countless, and this is sort of a way to show how much that support really meant and the result of that support in a situation that was initially deemed to be impossible.” The documentary will be shown on Jan. 24 at the Landmark Cinema 7 in Penticton at 7 p.m. Tickets are on sale and area available only online at www.ASecondChanceFilm. zoobis.com. Penticton’s Steve King will be hosting the screening and Morrison and the documentary director, Kelly, will be answering audience questions after the showing.

A guilty plea issued by a high-risk sex offender accused of murdering a Princeton woman has been refused by the court. Roger Badour, 64, admitted to Supreme Court Justice Robert Powers that he shot and killed Gisele Duckham and fled. Badour stated this at a Dec. 20 appearance in Kamloops. The plea was initially going to be accepted until Badour informed the court he wanted to get past the trial because he has cancer and believed he would get better medical treatment in federal prison. He has been in provincial jail since he was arrested on Nov. 8, 2011.
“At that time both Crown and the court had concerns that, given some statements made in court by Mr. Badour, there were indications the plea was not completely voluntary on his part,” said Neil MacKenzie, spokesperson for Roger Badour the Crown. “Crown counsel did not want to see the accused enter a guilty plea where there is any suggestion that it was not completely free and voluntary and the judge was not prepared to accept a guilty plea in the circumstances.”

EVENT
September 2012, Badour told the judge that he fears for his own life behind bars. His pleas to be moved from North Fraser pre-trial centre, because of various difficulties related to his health and issues with prison guards and other prisoners, were heard and he was moved to Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre. Badour’s lawyer, James Pennington, said his client alleged that he had been threatened to be shanked by another inmate and had his leg stomped on by a guard. Badour is expected to return to Kamloops court on Feb. 4 to fix a date at that time. Mackenzie said he does not know if Badour will again try and enter a guilty plea, but at this point the plea has not been accepted.

Badour is accused of killing Duckham at her residence in the 2000 block of Osprey Lake Road in Princeton. Victoria police had been searching for the high-risk sex offender for eight months after he disappeared while on parole as part of a seven-year sentence for sexual assault. On the evening of Nov. 8, 2011, Penticton RCMP pulled over a vehicle on Main Street for a traffic violation, and the constable confirmed the identity of the driver as Badour, who originally provided a false name. Upon further investigation, the officer found three firearms — two of which were loaded — and a small amount of marijuana in the vehicle Badour was travelling in.

Faced with the unenviable task of guiding the school district through years of budget cuts, Ron Shongrunden regrets only that he won’t be there to see the day when finances finally stabilize. The Okanagan Skaha School District announced Wednesday that Shongrunden, its secretary-treasurer, will retire this spring. “I would have liked to have seen us eliminate all our structural deficits before I left. I don’t know if that’s even possible, but it would have been nice to one year… go back to the board and say we have a few extra dollars to spend,” Shongrunden said. Nonetheless, the 58-year-old said he’s proud of what the school district has accomplished in his three decades with the organization, and the time is right to move on to other things. The Penticton Secondary School graduate started out as an accountant for the district in 1980, then rose through the ranks and was appointed to his current position in 2010. In addition to his duties as chief financial officer, he also helped plan the sprawling fibre-optic network that now provides phone and data service to school facilities, local government buildings and other community centres in Penticton and Summerland. “He’s certainly a leader in the province, if not North America, in the technology world for the innovations that have happened here, said Trustee Ginny Manning, chair of the school board. “What’s been built here is second to none in terms of technology.” Manning said Shongrunden, whose total compensation package totalled $131,244 for the 2012 fiscal year, phoned to tell her of his impending retirement, then made it official last week with a letter to the board. The district has already begun advertising the position and Manning is uncertain if the search will include any internal candidates. She said Shongrunden is a “highly valued leader” who will leave behind a “very fiscally responsible district.” Leslea Pryde, president of the Okanagan Skaha Teachers’ Union, said her members will also be sorry to see Shongrunden go. “The teachers respect him, so he’s leaving big shoes to fill,” she said. Pryde added that she hopes his replacement will focus on the big picture and not just the numbers. “I hope there’s not somebody who’s just worried about the almighty dollar, but is worried about the people who are in the system,” she said. Shongrunden said that under his watch, the district always tried to put people first as it grappled with budget challenges in the era of declining enrolment and funding. “We’re still hard on the issues but we’re trying to be softer on the people and make it easier for the cuts to happen,” he said. Shongrunden, who has three adult sons with his wife Kit, said once his retirement begins, he hopes to spend time renovating their home, travelling and developing an early literacy project. He added that when he’s finished clearing out his office, he’ll leave behind a simple piece of advice for his successor: “Do the right thing.”

AFTER STARTING a road trip that began in Surrey against the Eagles on Jan. 11, Cody DePourcq (19) and the Penticton Vees play in Powell River tonight, Alberni Valley Saturday and Coquitlam Sunday.
Vees net offence on deadline day Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff
Acquiring John Siemer from the Coquitlam Express has Wade Murphy very excited. Siemer, who sits third in BCHL scoring with 49 points in 39 games, is described by Murphy, who was acquired by the Penticton Vees last season on deadline day, as “obviously very skilled.” Sporting a massive grin, Murphy said the Glendora, Calif., product, acquired on Jan. 10, has playmaking ability. “He’s got everything,” said Murphy, who has 16 goals and 45 points in 34 games. “Very good hands as well. He’s a good addition to our team.” While Siemer was held off the scoresheet during the 2-1 loss to the Surrey Eagles on Jan. 11 and a 5-1 win against the Langley Rivermen on Jan. 12, Murphy said he felt himself, Siemer and Michael Rebry had instant chemistry. “He’s played very well last weekend,” said Murphy. Siemer wasn’t completely happy with his play saying it was rough as he wasn’t used to his new linemates. “I think after the first period of the first game, I think we started clicking,” said Siemer. “The next night we had tons of opportunities. I have a good feeling about our line.” Siemer, who scored 48 goals and amassed 108 points in 87 BCHL games with the Express, said it was unbelievable to play with Murphy and Rebry. “It’s like a bunch of skill out there,” said Siemer, who doesn’t anticipate problems producing. “You always just have to be in the right spot and you’re getting the puck. I have a good feeling about this group.” Bound for Northern Michigan University next season, Siemer knew he was being traded. It was the Express’ intentions to give the 20-year-old a chance to win in his final year of junior. “It was good move for me and obviously it’s hard to leave the guys,” said Siemer, who loved his time in Coquitlam. In a release, Harbinson said they are excited to add a player of Siemer’s skill and character. “Another California kid that you can tell has a heck of a lot of skill and vision,” Harbinson told the Western News. “He seems like he’s fit in really well with our team. He could have easily had four or five points if we had buried a couple of our chances. He hit a post himself on a breakaway. Very dangerous player with the puck.” Harbinson acquired a forward as there was some uncertainty with regards to the health of
Louie Nanne. The rookie was dealing with some upper body issues. On Tuesday, Harbinson confirmed that Nanne is good to return following a magnetic resonance imaging test. Nanne is probable for the Island road trip that begins Friday in Powell River and concludes in Coquitlam Sunday.

He spent it with his father and grandmother. Now that he’s back, he was excited to see his teammates, and the feeling was mutual. “Real positive reaction from everyone,” said Katunar, who was ranked 33rd among 35 North American goalies in the NHL Central Scouting recently released. “We’re like a family in that dressing room and it’s great.” Both goalies said they were unsure of Harbinson’s plan on who he will play the first game. However, Harbinson said Katunar will get the nod against the Kings on Friday. “He’s looked really good in practice the last couple days,” said Harbinson. “It’s a great one-two punch.” The Vees next home game is Jan. 25 and 26 when they host the Vernon and West Kelowna.

Princess Margaret Mustangs Abby Winstone (back) and Sam Simons of the Princeton senior girls Rebels wrestle for control of the ball during high school girls basketball action Wednesday at Princess Margaret. The visitors downed the Mustangs by 53-25 margin. For more photos from the game, check the photo gallery at www.pentictonwesternnews.com.
Mustangs pleased with results of new defence Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff
Dave Killick laughed when asked if his senior girls basketball team did something to upset the basketball gods. He coaches the Princess Margaret Mustangs, who lost an exhibition game at home to the Princeton Rebels 53-25 on Wednesday evening. “I think we might have,” joked Killick, since his team missed several close layups and watched the ball bounce a few times around the rim and stay out. The bad bounces had him and co-coach Jeff Goodis shaking their heads. “We’re just saving it for this weekend,” said Killick of a big tournament in Kamloops. “That is pretty important for us. If we’re saving a few hoops for the weekend I’m OK with that.” It took a few minutes for either team to score, but eventually the Rebels built an 8-5 lead and never trailed. After the first quarter, they were up 12-6. In the second quarter, the Mustangs were outscored 15-4. In the second half it was 26-15. “I thought we did a lot of good things,” said Killick.
“We tried a couple of different defences we never tried before. We were pretty pleased with that.” While his players did the right things to generate offence, and the ball refused to go in, Killick said he thought they executed well. The Mustangs coach praised the play of the Rebels, ranked No. 2 provincially in A ball. The Mustangs also had their share of turnovers, but part of that was giving other players more court time. The Mustangs rested leader Kari-Grace Pym due to foul trouble and a sore leg. Killick said they were trying some things they maybe wouldn’t in a league game. “It was just a chance to play a very good single A team,” he said. “They have three kids that are provincial calibre players.” Brooklyn Pichette, one of three Mustangs captains, said they played really well. She wasn’t surprised with their offensive struggles because of how good the Rebels are. “They play good defence so it wasn’t really that much of a surprise,” said Pichette, who led with nine points. “We played as hard as we could.” Abby Winstone added seven points, while Payton Charlie and Dana Klamut scored four and three, respectively.

Bringing in the ice wine
Health and Social Development Environment Arts and Culture Education Children, Youth and Families
Troy Osborne is hoping for one more blast of cold air from the Arctic. Osborne, an Oliver vineyard manager, spent Friday night and the very early hours Saturday morning in two South Okanagan vineyards, trying to get frozen grapes picked as temperatures hit the right level of freezing to produce the high sugar juice needed to make sweet ice wine. While he and his crews cleared one vineyard, one more super cold night is needed to clear a second. “We have two sites that we harvest our Riesling grapes,” said Osborne. Picking began at Whitetail vineyards in Oliver at 9 p.m. as temperatures dipped to −12 C, but at 3 a.m. the crew moved on to Inniskillin’s Dark Horse Vineyards as temperatures hit the magic levels there. “On the Dark Horse site we cleared that area off and there are 15 to 20 tons left on the Whitetail site,” said Osborne. “We need another night. If we had another night, we would get’er.” This year, wine makers were lucky to get ideal temperatures for the grapes, with the combination of a long, warm, growing season combining with the weekend blast of subzero weather to produce the
right level of sugar for ice wine. “We really needed those temperatures and lower. The later you go in the year, the harder it is to freeze the grapes because they become dehydrated,” said Osborne. “It’s nothing but sugar; it’s like trying to freeze antifreeze.” While ice wine picking can occur as late as March, it is an anxiety-laden wait for vineyards owners who make a choice to leave grapes on the vine in hope of making the high-value ice wine. “Once we make the commitment that it’s ice wine, it’s all or nothing. Ideally we want it to happen before the new year’s break,” said Osborne. It was close earlier in the season a few times, including New Year's Eve, he continued, but temperatures never quite dropped low enough. “New Year's Eve, my crew was all assembled. They gave up their New Year’s Eve party to hang around a shop, waiting for the right level of sugar to hit.” Over on the Naramata Bench, Steve Latchford, wine maker at Therapy Vineyards, faced similar problems. “We had a couple of close calls where we hit −6 C and −7 C just before Christmas. And right on New Year's Eve we got pretty close again too,” said Latchford, who managed to get his crop in starting at 7 a.m. Saturday.
“We were almost getting to the point where I was looking at doing a late harvest instead of an ice wine because they were starting to break down a little bit with all these cold flashes and warm flashes,” said Latchford. “Luckily, we got it, and everything is off and in tanks. We dodged a bullet there.” “Everything was great, the Pinot Gris looked really good, nice amounts of Botrytis infection, so we got really concentrated sugar quantities in the pressed juice,” said Latchford. It is unusual to use Pinot Gris for ice wine, but Latchford said he prefers the higher acidity of the grapes. “You have a lot of acidity that balances out that sugar, so it’s not just a big sugary viscous syrup. You get a bit of acid to cut through it,” he said. While choosing to make ice wine is a calculated risk for wine makers, the sector of the wine industry has grown substantially since Peachland grower Walter Hainle produced the first Canadian ice wine in 1972. Besides Therapy, several other Naramata Bench Vineyards are reporting successful ice wine harvests, including D’Angelo, Van Westen and Lang Vineyards, all part of making Canada one of the world’s most prominent ice wine producers.

Osoyoos is the only South Okanagan community selected for a new series of job fairs sponsored by the provincial government. The new series of B.C. Jobs Start Here job fairs will come to 22 communities, beginning in January, to promote current job opportunities, career trends and skills training — with the addition of a new Skills4BC booth. The Osoyoos stop on the tour is scheduled for Feb. 14. These new fairs are a continuation of the 24 events held in communities throughout B.C. between September and November 2012, where more than 31,000 British Columbians of all ages attended, from high school students to older workers looking to re-enter the workforce. The 22 new fairs are expected to cost an additional $500,000, bringing the estimated total for the BC Jobs Start Here job fairs and mobile exhibit to $1.682 million. “From public feedback, we know that British Columbians found the job fairs to be helpful in a number

of ways: for connecting face-to-face with employers, for practising interview skills, for finding out what jobs and skills are in demand, and for even learning more about B.C.’s economy,” said Pat Bell, minister of jobs and skills training. “Our government is excited to extend this opportunity to even more British Columbians in the months ahead.” A new ‘Skills4BC’ booth will be on site at each job fair with staff to answer questions and share information on skills training in B.C. Exhibitors at each fair will also include employers from a range of sectors, including post-secondary institutions, training authorities, industry associations and health authorities, as well as local WorkBC Employment Services Centres and the ‘B.C. Jobs Start Here’ mobile exhibit, which enables visitors to browse the B.C. Jobs Plan and WorkBC websites using iPads. The ‘B.C. Jobs Start Here’ job fairs are free and open to anyone looking to connect with a local employer or find more information on skills training, career development and more.

Raptors warm to Okanagan winters Last month I wrote about the snowy owl “invasion” occurring in the South Okanagan — an extremely rare event. There is another “invasion” taking place this winter that is not at all rare — it occurs like clockwork every winter, and that is the arrival of numerous raptors (birds of prey) in the South Okanagan. Actually, invasion isn’t a really good description as it implies that all of the birds have come from somewhere else and that is only partially true. Nevertheless, winter is a great time to get out and see raptors in our part of the valley. Partly it appears to be an “invasion” because with many bare trees, the Robert Handfield perched birds are much easier to spot. Nature Wise Bald eagles are particularly abundant in the winter here with at perhaps four to five times the summertime number. Red-tailed hawks are relatively abundant all year round but as I say they appear more common in the winter. On the Penticton Christmas bird count of Dec. 16, a total of 11 different species of birds of prey were seen, with red-tailed hawk and bald eagle tied for most abundant followed by sharp-shinned, Cooper’s and Kestrel. Not so abundant, but perhaps more interesting, is the Rough-legged hawk which is never seen in our part of the valley in the summer. It is similar in size and appearance to the red-tailed hawk; consult a field guide to see the differences. The influx of bald eagles generally is a result of the birds moving down from the north or from higher elevations where the colder winters freeze the lakes and rivers, making food gathering just that much more difficult. I would speculate that if the effort underway to re-establish sockeye salmon in Skaha Lake is successful (and so far it appears to be), bald eagles might become even more abundant in the fall and winter as there will be an abundant supply of food for them. Rough-legged hawks breed across northern Alaska and northernmost Canada and move south to winter across southernmost Canada and the continental U.S. In the South Okanagan in winter you will see about 10 red-tailed hawks for every rough-legged hawk that you see. Probably the best place to see rough-legged hawks in our area is the open grasslands of the White Lake area although I did see one on the Penticton Golf course on Dec. 31. Actually the White Lake grasslands are good for many other raptors as well. Other great places for raptor watching in the winter are along the Okanagan River Channel from Skaha Lake north to about Green Mountain Road and the KVR Trail in the Kaleden area and south to Okanagan Falls. Backyard bird-feeders can also be a good spot for seeing the smaller hawks such as sharp-shinned, Cooper’s and Merlin since they find the song-birds lined up at the feeders relatively easy pickings. So make use of this time of year to get out and see some raptors. The SONC birding group resumed their Thursday outings on Jan. 10. See www.southokanagannature.com for details. Just as I was about to send this in, I received a phone call about another snowy owl in Penticton, and on Jan. 6 I finally saw my “lifer’ snowy! The next monthly meeting of the South Okanagan Naturalists’ Club will take place on Jan. 24. Eva Antonijevic, community programs director for the Friends of Summerland Ornamental Gardens, will give a historical overview of the gardens, followed by a presentation on the Pilot Water Conservation Project that was launched in July 2012. In a departure from our normal routine, the meeting will begin at 7 p.m. in the basement hall of the Penticton United Church on Main Street. Everyone is welcome. Bob Handfield is vice-president of the South Okanagan Naturalists’ Club but the views expressed here are his own and not necessarily those of the club.

PENTICTON MINOR HOCKEY ASSOCIATION 2012 - 2013
A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT In celebration of Minor Hockey Week, and on behalf of the minor hockey executive, I would like to congratulate everyone who participates in our great game. This special section, published in conjunction with the Penticton Western News, features photos of all teams involved with our association. We take great pride in providing our youth with a safe and positive environment to enjoy their favourite sport. This season Penticton Minor Hockey turns 59. None of this would have been possible without the support of the community and our sponsors. Please take the time to visit the arena to cheer on our kidsâ&#x20AC;Ś and view some of the rich history that we are so very proud of. See you at the rink! Bruce Judd President, PMHA
