CITY KEEPS TABS ON WATERFRONT Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Penticton city council is determined to bring the waterfront revitalization project in on time and on budget. Council voted Monday to form an oversight committee to keep tabs on the West Okanagan Lake Waterfront Project, which has a budget of $2.125 million to make infrastructure repairs and enhancements to the area between the Peach and the SS Sicamous. It also comes with a very tight timeline; the ﬁrst phase must be completed by June 15, before the South Okanagan tourist season gets going full blast.

“The main focus of this oversight committee is that it is done on time and on budget and that it fulfils the vision that has been established by the community for the project,” said Mitch Moroziuk, director of operations. He recommended that the oversight committee be kept small, consisting of himself, city manager Annette Antoniak, Mayor Dan Ashton and one other council member. The committee will be able to approve changes in budget for individual items of up to five per cent, said Moroziuk, as long as those changes can be funded through existing capital sources. However, Ashton is firm that the project will not go over budget.

“There may be adjustments to the budgets within it. There is a cap and that is where it will stay,” said Ashton. “It will not exceed the projected amount of the budget.” The $2.125 million budget includes repairs to decaying infrastructure, replacement of 26 trees and enhancements to the boardwalk. It also, said Moroziuk, includes all the contract costs, city staff time, engineering and consulting to accomplish the work. Couns. Garry Litke and Helen Konanz both put themselves forward to be on the committee. Ashton amended the staff recommendation to include both. “We have two interested individuals, one that I worked with on the pool that I am very

comfortable with,” said Ashton. “I think that’s small enough that we are still going to have the opportunity to work.” While a public committee and public consultation created the rehabilitation plan, Ashton said there won’t be a community member on the committee. “We have had a committee bring it forward, but the buck stops here,” he said, noting that the city used a similar tactic to keep the recently completed community centre upgrades on budget. “It was very successful, what we accomplished with the community centre, and we are going to make sure that success carries on to the lakefront.”

merland on Sunday and successfully arrested a federal parolee who had been missing for almost three weeks. Andrew Robert Hardenstine was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant since he left a halfway house in Kamloops on Jan. 14. A public bulletin had been issued by RCMP at that time about the 33-year-old which stated he had a lengthy criminal record of violence against people “He had been approaching a house or pulling up to a house and he stopped in a vehicle at a property that was being monitored and he fled from there,” said Moskaluk. “He was arrested and

captured in close proximity at a nearby property he was not related to.” According to Moskaluk, two other individuals in the vehicle also fled. He said because Hardenstine was the priority they concentrated efforts on locating and arresting him. Police investigation is ongoing to confirm the identity of the two individuals that fled. Hardenstine has multiple prior convictions including theft, robbery and break and enter that stem from incidents in Penticton. He was released on parole in January and had been serving a three-year, eight-month sentence on

Moskaluk added several detachments in the South East District were actively investigating information being received since the issuing of the warrant for Hardenstine, as well as pursuing already known information about areas that he would frequent. Given Hardenstine’s known associations, Moskaluk said RCMP believed in all likelihood the wanted man would be found in a South Okanagan community or in the southwest Kootenay-Boundary area.

Deer spring up throughout Penticton Steve Kidd Western News Staff

Paul Quevillon has had enough. A parade of deer has been feasting in the yard of the mobile home owned by the retired police officer and his wife. Over the past six years, he said, it has been costing him about $1,000 a year, and the problem is getting worse. Last week, Quevillon sent an open letter addressed to everyone he could think of regarding the problems he and his neighbours in the Yorkton Avenue mobile home park have in dealing with the annual migration of deer through their yards. At the time he was writing the letter, he said there were a dozen of the animals wandering through the yards. But since then, there have been even more. “The day after I submitted it, there were 18 deer in the yard,” said Quevillon, adding that he regularly sees anywhere from six to 10 deer. “It’s like they own the place.” Along with the damage to his and neighbours’ property, Quevillon is afraid someone may get hurt as the deer are becoming more aggressive. “I have been challenged twice in my yard this last week,” he said. “If you try to chase them away, they just turn around and walk towards you. You wave and shake a stick at them or something else and if you take a step toward them, they take a step toward you or they hold their stance.” Chasing them off doesn’t do much, according to Quevillon, who explained that the deer simply move on to a neighbouring yard. “So they are eating everything we’ve got,” he said. “Right now, they’re eating everything. We still have green plants in the back and we have our cedars. They eat them like you wouldn’t believe. I’ve had to replace seven five-foot cedars three times now in the last seven years. I am not doing it anymore.” The City of Penticton has asked residents to remove as many food sources as possible for the deer from their yards to help prevent attracting the deer as they descend from snowbound higher elevations. “This is the time of year that non-resident mule deer travel in search of food, which is why some residents might be seeing more animals in the urban environment,” said Mayor Dan Ashton, in a release. But Quevillon said that isn’t much of a solution. “What am I going to do, pull up all the cedars? We’re not feeding the things,” he said.

Mark Brett/Western News

A Mule deer wanders unnoticed through the parking lot of the Penticton regional Hospital recently. City residents are continuing to complain about the ongoing problem with deer on their properties, including a Yorkton Avenue resident, who reported as many as 18 of the critters in his yard at one time.

And with so much snacking going on, Quevillon said the deer are leaving more behind than stripped cedar trees. His wife, he said, raked up some 40 pounds of deer droppings last year while cleaning the yard. “I can’t walk on the lawn here. To me it could be a health hazard too, I don’t know,” said Quevillon. “Either they be removed or culled, period. By whatever means is necessary.” While they haven’t yet reached the stage of culling deer, Penticton has been implementing strategies in the past year in an attempt to manage the deer, like adopting a bylaw prohibiting the active feeding of deer. They’ve also completed two deer counts, working under the guidance of provincial government biologists. Both counts, however, showed relatively low numbers of

deer, though the counts are expected to continue to establish a baseline for future management strategies. But the question of a cull is on hold awaiting the outcome of a lawsuit in another community. “The City of Penticton has been forced into a holding pattern until the legal case in Invermere is resolved and the courts provide direction on the requirements for managing urban deer populations,” said Ashton. “The Invermere case will set precedence for municipalities like us on how the urban deer issue can be addressed.” The city encourages residents to report sightings of urban deer by emailing urbandeer@penticton.ca or calling 250-490-2400, and learn about mule deer by visiting www.penticton.ca.

City newsletter part of minister’s briefing package Joe Fries Western News Staff

It seems the monthly newsletters that accompany utility bills from the City of Penticton are read as far away as Victoria. A copy of the November 2012 issue was included in the package of materials provided to B.C. Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid ahead of her Dec. 12 visit to Penticton Regional Hospital. The package was obtained by the Western News through a freedom of information request. An item on the front of the newsletter urges the public to pressure the B.C. government to provide funding for a $300-million expansion of the Penticton hospital.

Interior Health public affairs manager Darshan Lindsay emailed a copy of that newsletter to Health Ministry communications manager Rodney Porter and other government staff on Nov. 21. “In light of the pending tour, note on the front page — the city’s exhortation to residents to lobby for the capital project,” Lindsay wrote in the email, which was flagged as being of high importance. Also included in the documents package were itineraries for MacDiarmid’s tour of the hospital, plus an issues scan on the Penticton hospital capital funding request. The scan said that in May 2012 the Okanagan Similkameen Regional Hospital District wrote to the ministry to “affirm and prioritize

its commitment to redeveloping Penticton Regional Hospital.” It also said an FOI request “noted that Interior Health ranked redevelopment of PRH (as No. 1) on their capital priority list” and that “media expressed concern when the Royal Inland Hospital master plan announcement was made that Penticton was bypassed.” The RIH announcement in July 2012 provided up to $80 million for preliminary work on an expansion of the hospital in Kamloops, a project that was ranked No. 5 on Interior Health’s wish list. Below the synopsis of concerns are suggested responses on questions about the issue. They note that the ministry must balance capital requests from health authorities across

the province and that even if a project ranks high on a capital list, “that same project may not have the same ranking in the ministry’s plan when all factors are considered.” The final response adds the B.C. government has put $12 million into upgrades at PRH since 2001. A second issues scan deals with the death of Alfredo Bonaldi, a former resident of Summerland Seniors Village who was left unattended in his room there while suffering from a suspected case of food poisoning. MacDiarmid was advised to extend condolences to the Bonaldi family, thank them for alerting the ministry to the situation at the care home and explain the various responses by the ministry and Interior Health.

NDP critic sees trouble in the woods Joe Fries Western News Staff

The B.C. NDP’s forestry critic said if his party wins this spring’s election, it will take up to five years to make a dent in the pile of foresthealth issues created by the Liberal government. Norm Macdonald outlined part of his party’s plans to revitalize the industry during a stop in Penticton last week in the midst of a B.C. tour during which he’s meeting with community leaders and industry representatives. The NDP has yet to roll out its full platform ahead of the May 14 election, but it’s expected to include a five-point forest strategy, the first element of which will focus on healthy-forest initiatives. Such work has been neglected by the cost-cutting Liberal government, Macdonald said. “What I would argue is the B.C. Liberals have made conscious decisions to create problems

that are now showing up.” The MLA for Columbia River-Revelstoke said the NDP’s priorities will be conducting a proper inventory of B.C. forests and beginning an extensive tree replanting program. Most of the forest inventory the province is working with now is out of date because it hasn’t kept up with damage caused by pine beetles, he explained. “It’s a massive shortcoming. Forest professionals have told us that that’s the first priority for them, to get the data to a place they feel they can legitimately work with.” The concern is validated by the B.C. auditor general’s February 2012 report on timber management work by the Ministry of Forests Lands and Natural Resource Operations. The study confirmed a detailed inventory is lacking. “In particular, the ministry has limited information on areas affected by pests, diseases, wildfires

and other natural disturbances,” the report stated. Macdonald said it would take his party three to five years to conduct the necessary survey work “to get data one could have confidence working with.” Forests Minister Steve Thomson said in a separate interview the province has 52 per cent of its land base inventoried according to a system that is considered a “gold standard,” and has increased funding for the work from $3.7 million in 2010 to $7.5 million this year. “While the pine beetle infestation has been running its course, it didn’t make sense to do the detailed inventory on what was a continually changing landscape,” Thomson said. His critic doesn’t buy that. “Even if you accept their argument, the pine beetle situation has stabilized in many of these areas since 2009. So where’s the accelerated work now?” Macdonald said.

As for the tree planting program, the auditor general found there is 1.1 million hectares of forest within the ministry’s jurisdiction that has potential for replanting. Macdonald said his initiative would spool up over five years, a time lag needed to conduct surveys, create plans and order seedlings. He said his government would aim to plant 50 million trees per year. “That doesn’t solve the problem entirely; it’s a step in the right direction,” Macdonald said. Thomson countered that government and industry in 2012 spent a combined $220 million

An early morning fire in Penticton caused RCMP to block traffic from Government Street to the bottom of Duncan hill on Monday. Deputy fire chief Dave Spalding said they responded at 5:35 a.m. to the call of a car and detached garage fire. Both fire trucks responded and could see the “glow in the sky” upon approach. “The car fire started and spread to the detached garage, doing heavy dam-

age but the house wasn’t touched,” said Spalding. “The car was a total write-off but there was no damage to the house so no one was displaced or injured.” The fire department could not determine the cause of the fire and the investigation has been handed over to the RCMP. “RCMP have taken over to follow up on some leads they have. We were undetermined on the cause. We just know it was in the car,” said Spalding. The car had been sitting outside the garage and Spalding said that is where the fire was first seen.

Vehicle stop leads to drugs Western News Staff

A Calgary man is facing drug charges following a vehicle stop last week by the Penticton Drug Task Force. On Jan. 30 officers arrested Joshua Oudshoorn, 26, and a 28-year-old woman in a vehicle after it pulled into a downtown convenience store parking lot. Subsequent to the arrest, two search warrants were executed the following day at homes in the 600 block of Beames Lane and the 200 block of Marina Way. Drug Task Force members seized cash and cocaine from the Beames Lane home and a larger quantity of cocaine, oxycontin pills and a small quantity of what is suspected to be heroin at the Marina Way address. Investigators also seized drug trafficking paraphernalia. In total, approximately eight ounces of powder cocaine, several hundred oxycontin pills, cash,

scales, smaller quantities of heroin and marijuana were seized. Oudshoorn was initially arrested in the vehicle stop for breaching his recognizance of bail conditions from Alberta and the woman for possession of a controlled substance. A small amount of marijuana was seized from the vehicle. The woman was later released with no proposed charges. Oudshoorn was held in custody and faces two charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking. He already faces two possession for the purpose of trafficking charges from Medicine Hat, Alta. and is on bail conditions with a current address in Calgary.

Macdonald estimated his party’s tree planting program would cost up to $85 million a year, but he didn’t have a figure for the inventory work. Nor did he outline how the NDP would pay for either initiative. “All of that will be laid out in the platform,” he said, adding some of it will be contingent upon numbers contained in the budget the Liberals table later this month.

Penny’s use is more trouble than its worth

his moment will likely occur in your very near future: You are waiting at the till of the corner store or the coffee shop, and the bill comes out to $4.88. You hand the clerk a $10 bill and in return he gives you a $5 note, and a dime. You’ll pause, expectantly, and he will smile at you and say with practised ease: “We rounded it off. We don’t use pennies any more.” And that is the way it should be. We know the cliches: every penny counts; a penny saved is a penny earned. But the fact of the matter is money exists as a means of exchange. And as a means of exchange, the penny has become pretty well useless. Inﬂation has rendered it about as helpful in everyday life as a pebble in the building of a rock wall. To be clear, conceptually a penny still makes sense; it will continue to play a role in accounts, ledgers and electronic transactions. But the physical piece of copper itself has become redundant. In order to buy virtually anything, you need dozens, if not hundreds. There is a reason you tell the clerk to keep the small change. It’s because it isn’t worth the time it takes for him to count it out, or the clutter it causes in your wallet. And if it is an aggravation to you, think of the time wasted by merchants and banks that have to count and process thousands of coppers — it will eventually cost these agencies more to ship and count pennies than the actual face value of the coins themselves. Or consider it this way: what if, in our scenario above, instead of a ﬁver and a dime, the PENTICTON WESTERN clerk gave you 512 pennies? If you aren’t willing to deal with that kind of bulk, why should the person on the other end of the transaction? If you are really struggling with the concept, try this one: there is a new penny in town and it will make things simpler. It is called a nickel. It’s not worth much, but it works.

Stage set for B.C. senate election Cannon will roar across the Inner Harbour on the morning of Feb. 12 to mark the opening of the 2013 legislature session. Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon will inspect the troops and present her inaugural Throne Speech, setting out the B.C. Liberal government’s goals for the coming year. This ritual will kick off a legislative session that is expected to run until March 14, where the ofﬁcial Parliamentary Calendar shows a threeweek break for Easter. Debate is unlikely to resume in April, as the election campaign will be in full roar by then. This means there will be a grand total of 19 sitting days to push through a budget and a raft of legislation. Here’s my unofﬁcial preview. The pre-election budget will be presented Feb. 19 by Finance Minister Michael de Jong. Premier Christy Clark has decreed that it must be balanced, and the government has made extra efforts to armour itself against what will likely be the loudest debate ahead. First, de Jong held a prebudget meeting of the govern-

Tom Fletcher

B.C. Views ment’s blue-chip forecast council in public. This provided a visual record of what happens every year, when the Finance Ministry solicits the same sort of independent advice as most competent democracies, and bases its numbers on that. Then the Finance Ministry hired former Bank of Montreal chief economist Tim O’Neill, who will act as an unofficial version of the parliamentary budget officer in Ottawa. Now that we have simultaneous oversight of child welfare and the police, the next step is to extend it to finance bureaucrats. Regardless of party, the gov-

ernment has to produce a threeyear set of forecasts to replace the current one. A lot of election energy will go into competing claims about who is better at predicting the future. Another new law to be given high priority is one setting up senate elections, to be run in connection with the May 14 provincial vote. Alberta pioneered this, and Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s recent round of senate appointments included Calgary lawyer Doug Black, who won an Alberta senate election held last year. There was no one appointed to replace Gerry St. Germain, who bid an emotional adieu as a Conservative senator for B.C. last year. St. Germain was instrumental in uniting the splintered federal Conservatives, but he reached the mandatory retirement age of 75, having been appointed by Brian Mulroney in 1993 after losing his seat as an MP. Why would this senate reform be so urgent for the B.C. Liberals now? Well, turnout for the 2009 election fell to around 50 per cent, a record low for a provincial vote. If that down-

ward trend is reversed this year, it will be in large part because people are still mad enough about the harmonized sales tax and a range of other issues to get off the couch and kick some B.C. Liberal butt. Electing senators remains a popular notion, especially with older, conservative-minded voters in B.C. who identiﬁed with the Reform Party. The ﬁrst-ever senate election looks like the best available shot at boosting turnout among people who are not likely to vote NDP, and who may also be disengaged from provincial politics. And then there is the provincial sales tax bill. Another kick in the slats for the movie business, for one, and don’t hold your breath for NDP leader Adrian Dix to produce a solution in the wake of his recent trip to Tinsel Town. The performance of the governing party and the opposition will be scrutinized as never before.

Wrong electoral boundaries being changed Not a day goes by when western Canadians realize, again, they are getting the shaft from the eastern establishment. B.C.’s constituent boundaries must run parallel or follow the line of least resistance of the natural obstacles — go around or over the summits of mountains that lie in their path. And support the towns, cities and municipalities that have been built over the past 100 years. It is too late to change or turn back the clock. The one major change required is putting Osoyoos and Oliver back into the Penticton riding. Removing Summerland would be a major disaster. Our river valleys and mountain ranges determine how, why and where we must build our roads, highways and railways. Since the early days of transportation and movement, before the arrival of the railways, the stern wheelers — ships like the SS Sicamous and Moyie — plied our rivers. The Ottawa gang, it seems, could care less about where our boundar-

ies must be. During the previous constituency changes, three ‘faceless Liberal bureaucrats’ from Ottawa played a significant role in removing Osoyoos and Oliver from the riding, then known as Okanagan Similkameen Merritt. Historically, Osoyoos and Oliver had been as “conservative” as apple pie since B.C.’s boundary lines were first drawn. B.C. residents should prepare themselves for a major boundary change: Should the NDP win the next election, there is a very good chance the “conservative” Peace River District will change to Alberta territory. For far too many years the Peace folks have been dissatisfied with the way things are done in Victoria. It is fair to say the Peace country is just as disappointed with Victoria as they are with Ottawa. Soon after becoming premier, W.A.C. Bennett realized the possibility of the Peace someday leaving B.C. W.A.C. and son Bill were the only premiers that understood the needs and

SORCO seeks volunteers

South Okanagan Rehabilitation Centre for Owls is a registered non-profit organization celebrating its 25th anniversary. Our purpose is to treat and care for injured and orphaned birds of prey, owls, eagles, osprey and hawks. Our goal is to rescue, rehabilitate and release all birds of prey back into the wild. Due to human impact and the dwindling population of raptors, we are dedicated to their preservation through upkeep of the clinic facilities and the organization itself. In addition, SORCO has a mission to focus on promotional and education programs which generate public interest and support for the preservation of this vital part of our natural inheritance, and contribute to the overall quality of life of the area. We are currently seeking new board members or volunteers to assist us in a new phase of our operations, the building of a new clinic, expansion of our education program and fundraising and marketing. Typically board members devote about 10 hours a month and attend four board meetings a year. If you have an interest please email us at: sorco@telus.net. Dave Whitton SORCO

Facts on oilsands

I recently read a release from the Canadian Press from the federal NDP calling for “value-added jobs” by refining oilsands bitumen. That release showed nothing positive about Alberta oilsands. As a result of that release, I started investigating to satisfy myself on the facts regarding the oilsands. I hope your readers find the following as informa-

requirements of the interior. That was the principal reason why he expanded the Pacific Great Eastern Railway to extend its rails all the way into the Peace district. Today, the Peace folks are more than disappointed over another dam being built in their back yard to satisfy the needs of BC Hydro customers on the coast. Peace farmers need the Peace River water as much as the coast and Lower Mainland folks require more electrical power. B.C. wastes more hydro electric power potential than power it generates. How about ‘better’ management of our resource? On a per capita basis, the Peace folks pay far more in taxes and royalties than any other region to fund the free loaders in Victoria and the Lower Mainland. The next major initiative for the coast and Island is a new ferry fleet. Most of the money to fund such a project will come from Peace taxpayers, yet very few of those folks will ever ride on a B.C. ferry. Now that the South

tive as I did. Alberta produces about 1.7 million barrels per day(bbl/d) of bitumen from three oilsands regions: Athabasca, Cold Lake and Peace River. Surface mining accounts for 51 per cent of production. Five upgraders in Alberta produce crude oil. They handle about 1.3 million bbl/d of bitumen. About 57 per cent of oilsands production is sent for upgrading to synthetic crude oil and in some cases diesel. Upgraders also produce off-gases, which are potential feedstocks for Alberta’s petrochemical industry. There are three operating refineries in Alberta with a combined crude processing capacity of about 422,200 bbl/d.

Okanagan may be losing MP Dan Albas, I hope he

has the time to read this letter and report the serious-

ness of the situation to the Ottawa establishment.

Accused says he knows identity of real killer lation. Police found Man charged with murder of Princeton woman pled guilty to firearms and a small amount of marijuana access better medical care Dale Bass Black Press

A man who admitted in December to killing Gisele Duckham of Princeton now says he knows who the real killer is, has video related to it and is not getting proper medical care while in custody at the Kamloops Regional Correction Centre. Roger Badour, 64, admitted in B.C. Supreme Court in December that he shot and killed Duckham and fled the scene. He was arrested on the evening of Nov. 8, 2011 when Penticton RCMP pulled over the vehicle he was driving on Main Street for a traffic vio-

in the car and Badour has been in custody ever since. Badour continued to tell Justice Robert Powers he was pleading guilty so he would be sent to federal prisBadour on, where he believes he would get better medical care. Powers was concerned the guilty plea was not voluntary and adjourned the matter, telling Badour to contact legal aid to have a lawyer assist him. On Monday, Badour was back in court before Justice Hope Hyslop. Crown counsel Lorne Fisher noted Badour was in court with-

out legal representation Wearing headphones because he has hearing loss, Badour said he had made several phone calls to legal aid “because the judge said he’d give me a lawyer, but a lawyer didn’t come.” Badour told Hyslop he is only allowed an hour a day to use the phone and sometimes that hour fell outside regular working hours, making it difficult to contact legal aid. He said during one conversation with legal aid, he was given another phone number to call in Penticton, but that person’s message system indicated it was full. At one point during his address to the court, Badour said he knows the identity of the real murderer — “but I’m not going to say.” He said he had video related to it and that

he had been working as security for the person who he claims committed the murder. “I don’t mean to be blackmailing,” Badour told Hyslop, “but I need to see a doctor.” Badour said he has been refused treatment for cancer, medication he requires for a bipolar condition is missing and his requests to KRCC staff have been met with assurances he is receiving the medicine he requires. Badour offered to show Hyslop lumps on his body, describing one as having grown from the size of a pencil eraser to four times that size. He told Hyslop he is “sick and tired of halfway houses and I’m doing this guilty plea to get off parole and back into prison.” Hyslop adjourned the case to Feb. 12, to give Fisher time to make the necessary contacts and be prepared to report back to her.

Park in path of jail access road Joe Fries Western News Staff

Creating additional access to the new jail near Oliver will likely involve cutting a road through Inkaneep Provincial Park. B.C. Parks is considering an application from another government agency to remove 0.28 hectares from the park in order to provide a secondary access to the jail, which is slated for construction at the Senkulmen Business Park just north of Oliver. “The intention is to portray that as a back-door exit,” said Stacy McGhee, a senior manager for Shared Service B.C., which is shepherding the application through the regulatory process. McGhee explained the plan last week during a presentation to the board of the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen, from which he was seeking an endorsement. The new road would intersect Tuc-El-Nuit Drive directly across from Campsite Road, and would cut through the narrowest point of the eastern portion of the two-piece park. A 0.85-hectare chunk of Crown land at the northern edge of that portion would then be added, resulting in a net gain of park space. The RDOS advisory planning commission for the area looked at the application in December and agreed to support it as long as no signage is erected that would tend to steer motorists to the new route. The commission was concerned its presence would increase traffic on Tuc-El-Nuit Drive and discourage use of the upgraded business park entrance on Highway 97. “The other issue is, if at all possible, to conserve highly valuable conservation and environmentally sensitive areas, you don’t divide them with roads,” said Allan Patton, the RDOS director for the area. “Sure it’s squeezed and small, but there’s going to be a road there with ditches and all this kind of stuff. It totally takes away the integrity of that property.” McGhee noted that three alternate routes were explored, but the proposed option is the cheapest and the shortest, at about 500 metres in length, so it will have the least impact on the environmentally sensitive area around the jail. West Bench RDOS Director Michael Brydon reminded his colleagues the area of concern is in fact adjacent to a business park. “It’s an environmentally sensitive area there, but let’s face it, it’s right beside a wine factory and pretty soon, right beside a prison,” Brydon said. “This isn’t pristine.” The board agreed to support the application; Directors Patton and Brad Hope were opposed. McGhee said the plan still needs approval from the Transportation Ministry. Construction on the jail is expected to begin in 2014.

Church spreads his gospel to packed house at SOEC

Kristi Patton

Concert Review

Penticton has never seen a church choir quite like this. A congregation of over 5,000 helped build the electric atmosphere on Friday as their ballcap-wearing preacher, Eric Church, sporting his trademark sunglasses gave his sermon with swagger. Guitar in hand, Church had the almost capacity crowd on their feet and two-stepping in the aisles for his just Kristi Patton/Western News

ERIC CHURCH packed the South Okanagan Events Centre on Friday with opening act Colt Ford on their Blood, Sweat & Beers tour. Visit www.pentictonwesternnews.com in the Entertainment section for the concert photo gallery and full review of the Feb. 1 show.

over 90 minute show that included three encore songs. The Blood, Sweat & Beers tour, with special guest Colt Ford, was the highest attended concert to date at the South Okanagan Events Centre. Backed by his guitarheavy band, Church mostly sang tunes from his 2011 Grammy nominated album, Chief. From bar room confessionals to delicate ballads, Church sang them and the crowd loved them. A low-key stage setup of whiskey barrels and a rotating backdrop was complimented by pyrotechnics from ﬁreworks, laser beams and shooting ﬂames at key moments. And that was just the

warm up, said Church. It was obvious this wasn’t like any concert seen at the SOEC before. It may have been country at heart, but this was a rock show. “There isn’t going to be any more shows in this building because we are going to burn this son-of-a-bitch down,” screamed Church who then asked the crowd to give everything they got to help him sing the chorus of Drink In My Hand. No need to tell me Church gave the best live performance in the SOEC to date, you’d just be preaching to the choir. Kristi Patton is the Entertainment editor for the Western News.

Playoffs have arrived for the Okanagan Mainline Amateur Hockey Association. Fifteen teams represented Penticton during the weekend, including the Tier 3 peewee and bantam Vees and three female teams. For South Central Super League playoffs a new format is in place for this year where the first team to four points wins the three-game series. Teams receive two points for a win, one for a tie and zero points for a loss. Should teams have three points each at the end of regulation of the third game, overtime would be required. In midget house, Penticton 3 Save on Foods Vees lost their series to the Summerland Jets in three games. Coach Jonathan Bowman said he felt his players performed well. After tying the opening game, the Vees won the second game 6-2, lost the third game 4-2, then lost in a shootout after one over time period. “Summerland’s a good team,” said Bowman. “It wasn’t for a lack of effort that’s for sure. They have a few really good players. Their goalie is just really good.” Penticton 1 Barley Mill Vees defeated West Kelowna 2 3-2 to clinch their midget house series in three games. Mason Burns led the Vees with two goals, while Gunnar Fulton scored the other goal. The Vees won the first game 7-4 then lost the second 4-0. Vees coach Jamie Fulton said his team received strong goaltending from Dustyn Badach and Tyler Trupp. Penticton 2 White Kennedy, ranked seventh, lost to second-ranked West Kelowna 3, 4-1. They didn’t go down without a fight. Trailing the series three points to one, in the final game the Vees jumped out to a 2-0 lead. West Kelowna scored at the end of the second to cut the lead to one. Vees coach Ed Lebler said his team created chances but couldn’t bury anything. Midway through the third period, West Kelowna evened the score at two. Needing a win to force overtime, Vees pulled their goalie

for the extra attacker with a minute left. “We had a few chances but Westside held on and the game ended 3-3 giving West Kelowna one point for the game and four to win the series,” said Lebler, whose team went 1-9-4 during the season. “We had a great weekend of hockey.” Lebler had nothing but praise for his team. “They never gave up and they never complained,” he said. “They always worked hard right to the end making every game close even if we did not win. It is not easy when you only win one game all year but this group of kids always found a way to make it seem OK.” The Peaches Lingerie female Vees clinched their first-round playoffs series against Kamloops 2 on Sunday with a 4-0 win. They advance in the OMAHA female midget league. The Vees dominated play but came up against a hot Kamloops goaltender. Zoe Konanz had two goals, while Sydney Garnett and Cassie Kolisnyk notched one each. Hunter Prall earned the shutout. The team is awaiting the winner of the Clearwater-Kamloops 1 series this weekend. In bantam action, the seventh-ranked Penticton BPO Elks, took on the ninth ranked Minute Muffler Vees and won 3-2 and 6-2. BPO Elks Vees coach Mario Carelse said his team played well defensively. He also noted that his players kept their cool with a number of penalties being called. “A lot of the boys came through and played some of their best hockey,” said Carelse. “It was particularly gratifying to get two wins in a row, since we had gone without a win since sometime last year.” They will now face Penticton’s bantam 3 team in the next round.

Mustangs fall short in home tourney Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

A 30-10 half-time lead helped the Kalamalka Secondary Lakers from Vernon defeat the Princess Margaret Mustangs 45-29. The win clinched the Mustang Mania senior girls basketball tournament held in Penticton over the weekend. The Lakers were hungrier, according to Mustangs coach Dave Killick, whose team has defeated the Vernon school twice this season. “Kal is a tall, athletic team and they out-rebounded us at both ends of the floor,” said Killick, adding that the Mustangs must match their level of intensity and focus to win the rebounding battle. “They contested every shot and as a result we did not shoot the ball very well.” Erin Gabriel led the Mustangs with 11 points while Rylee McKinlay added six. Kari-Grace Pym was the team’s top rebounder with 11. The Mustangs opened the tournament with a 75–29 victory over

Okanagan Mission Huskies of Kelowna. McKinlay was the top scorer with 16 points and added nine rebounds, while Brooklyn Pichette contributed 14 points, Abby Winstone chipped in 11, Dana Klamut nine, Payton Charlie and Callan Cooper each added eight. Semifinal action had the Lakers defeat the Fulton Maroons 71–56. Klamut was the Mustangs leading scorer with 17 points, while Pichette dominated the stats sheet with 13 points, seven rebounds and five steals. Winstone chipped in 12 points, while Maddie Winter contributed six. Pym led the offence with 11 assists to go with her six points. “For the most part we played very well this weekend,” said Killick. “Even in the final we battled to the very end. The Mustangs coaching staff has been pleased with the contribution they get from different players each game. “We always get good solid efforts from our grade 12 leaders (Pym,

PENTICTON VEES FORWARD Wade Murphy, right, had a hot stick against the Coquitlam Express on Saturday, scoring two goals and adding five assists in an 11-0 win at the South Okanagan Events Centre.

Murphy torches Coquitlam for seven points Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

A two-goal, five-assist effort against the Coquitlam Express is a new career high for Wade Murphy. The Penticton Vees forward’s previous single-game season high was five as a member of his hometown Victoria Grizzlies last year. “Everything was going my way. That was one of the best games I’ve played in a Vees uniform that’s for sure,” said Murphy, who sits fifth in British Columbia Hockey League scoring with 20 goals and 57 points in 40 games. Murphy helped the Vees blow by the

Express 11-0. Murphy had two assists in the opening period. In the second period, he took a pass from Louie Nanne, who entered the Express zone then made a drop pass. Murphy skated with the puck briefly then snapped a wrist shot at the top of the slot that deflected off Express goalie Cole Huggins’ shoulder, bounced off the inside post going to the other side of the net. “That was phenomenal,” said Vees forward Travis Blanleil of Murphy’s goal. “He’s got an NHL shot.” Murphy, who set up Jedd Soleway for the game-winner 5:11 into the first period, said he got some lucky bounces.

Wineries seek greater licence on liquor sales Joe Fries Western News Staff

Faced with an expected flood of applications from winery restaurants seeking to expand their drink menus beyond B.C. wine, the regional district will ask the Agricultural Land Commission to again re-examine its position on the matter. Since December, the board of the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen has received applications from two wineries that are seeking to upgrade their liquor licences to allow them to serve a full range of alcoholic beverages.

Most winery restaurants within the Agricultural Land Reserve are only allowed by law to pour B.C. wines. To obtain a full-service licence, they must first apply to the ALC for a non-farm use exemption, and a copy of the application is also sent to the closest local government for comment. RDOS planning staff advised the board to reject both recent applications as full-service restaurants at wineries are seen as contrary to the intent of agricultural zoning bylaws. The wineries want to offer fuller drink menus to attract more customers and make it easier to

stage weddings and other events that require special licences if the hosts want to serve booze other than B.C. wine. Allan Patton, the RDOS director for rural Oliver, opposed an application from Tinhorn Creek Vineyards in December, but clarified at a committee meeting last week that he’s in favour of allowing wineries to serve whatever beverages they want, so long as the drinks are produced in B.C. And he wants the ALC to also adopt that position, because it would clear up a “mish-mash” of regulations and remove the need for each winery restaurant

to make a non-farm use application. “It’s one after the other, and all of them are going to be doing this because the ALC hasn’t gotten their act together and built a policy that applies to every restaurant on ALR lands in British Columbia,” Patton said. The ALC reviewed the issue in 2012 and resolved to continue to deal with such applications on a case-by-case basis. It doesn’t appear that policy is set to change. Richard Bullock, who chairs the board of the ALC, did not respond to interview requests from the Western News, al-

though a policy analyst at the ALC replied with a copy of a letter that explains the results of the 2012 review. The RDOS contributed to that review but the board agreed at its meeting last week to write to the ALC anyway and ask it to consider revising the policy, although members still have mixed views on the matter. West Bench Director Michael Brydon said the RDOS should focus on land-use issues, not what goes on inside businesses. “I don’t think by denying people the freedom to order what they want with dinner (that) you’re really impacting agriculture,” he said. “Our business is to make sure the parking lots don’t get huge, that the (building’s) footprint is appropriate.” Tom Siddon, the director for Kaleden-Okanagan Falls, said allowing fullservice restaurants in agricultural areas is indeed a land-use issue, because those sites aren’t zoned for commercial use and thereby offer a competitive advantage in the form of lower tax rates. “To open the bloody landscape to restaurants in the hinterland, when in the off-season the mainstream facilities along our highways are struggling, I think would just make a travesty of zoning,” Siddon said. Tinhorn Creek Vineyards’ non-farm use application was sent to Patton’s advisory planning commission for comment and hasn’t yet gone back to the board for final comment.

Become a Psychiatric Nurse in your own community There is an urgent need for more Registered Psychiatric Nurses (RPN), particularly outside the urban areas of the province. And with the workforce aging – the average age of a Registered Psychiatric Nurse in BC is 47 years – the number of retirees from the profession is exceeding the number of graduates. Entry-level earnings start at $30.79/hour to $40.42/hour. Train Locally – The only program of its kind in BC, students can learn within their local communities via distance education, local and/or regional clinical placements, and some regional classroom delivery. This 23 month program is accredited by the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of BC (CRPNBC). Government student loans, Employment & Labour Market Services (ELMS), band funding & other ﬁnancing options available to qualiﬁed applicants.
