Structurlam unveils cutting edge technology

PIER PRESSURE

NEWS PENTICTON WESTERN Mark Brett

Rene Bourque was still counting his blessings Wednesday, after the previous night’s accident which left his 28-foot boat balanced precariously on the Kiwanis Walking Pier. At the same time, he urged the City of Penticton to improve the after-dark visibility of the structure to reduce the chances of someone else hitting it. Incredibly, neither Bourque, his female passenger, or the young people on the pier at the time of the incident were seriously injured. The woman on the boat did receive a small cut to the side of her face. “I came in and I throttled down and I was turning and I saw the dock but I thought I was further out and then I looked up and I said, ‘oh no,’ I just didn’t have time,” recalled Bourque. “I was only going 20 kilometres (an hour) and me and the girl were standing at the windshield and neither one of us saw it. I just thank God the water level was so high.” The boat collided with the pier about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday as the couple were returning from a trip to Kelowna. The only illumination currently on the pier is a red navigation light located at the very end, which blinks approximately every six seconds. A Transport Canada ofﬁcial indicated this week the pier will be reviewed to “ensure the safety of navigation.” But that is not good enough for Bourque.

OFFICIALS CHECK the scene of an accident involving a cabin cruiser Wednesday morning at the Kiwanis Walking Pier. No one on the boat, or those on the pier, were seriously injured in the incident.

on his arrival is too graphic to recount, however it is something forever etched in his mind. “His boat went underneath the dock and the bottom of the dock hit the top of the boat and then his head,” said Rae, who operates Raezor’s Edge Marine Services. “There were no lights on it (pier) and he never saw it. “They could put other lights on the bottom of the dock, or you could put reflectors at water level, anything would be better than what it is now.” He added the onshore lights blend in with the navigation beacon which also makes it difficult to see. “If your travelling at any speed and you might have missed the first blink and by the second one you’re already on top of it (pier) and it’s too late because the rest of the dock’s not lit,” said Rae. Greg Garward, who operates boats for nearby Pier Water Sports, agreed: “You can hit that thing very easily. I know it’s there but it is still hard to see, especially with the glare off the water and the reflection of the lights.” Chuck Loewen, the city’s general manager of facilities and recreation services, said when it comes to lighting, the municipality is bound by government navigation requirements. “We’re going to check into this to make sure we have all ducks in a row and if there is anything we can add into we will, but we will not do anything that contravenes their jurisdiction,” he said. “We will do whatever is required, whatever is necessary as much as we can.”

Awakened spirits Steve Kidd Western News

There is no denying the quality of the liqueurs and other distilled products produced by Maple Leaf Spirits, though up to now, there was only one place you could purchase them. Proof of that comes from the multiple awards Jorg and Anette Engel have won with their entries to the Destillata in Austria, where they faced competition from some 2,000 entries, representing the best craft distilleries in Europe. That includes a gold medal this year for their oak-aged Italian Prune fruit spirits and a 2008 Spirit of the Year award for their grappa-style Pinot Noir Skinny. But while this tiny Penticton craft distillery is making waves at the world’s largest liquor tasting and has been has been fully licenced as a commercial distillery since Oct. 2005, the only place you could purchase their finely crafted spirits was directly from the distillery on Carmi Avenue. At least until now. That’s because in June, Maple Leaf became the second distillery to qualify under the province’s new regulations and be licensed as a craft distillery. Now, they will finally be able to sell their artisan spirits, made from 100 per cent B.C. fruit and grapes, directly to other licensees like restaurants and private liquor stores. “As well, we can open a special event area, or an outside lounge, just like the wineries. Basically, the same permission that is given to the wineries,” said Jorg Engel. The B.C. government launched the new Craft Distilleries Policy last February to find ways to support the craft distilleries. According to the Engels, this policy change will do just that by allowing sales directly and be exempt from Liqour Distribution Branch markup. Taxes and the LDB markup, along with production costs meant that only a small profit was made from each bottle. “It was not a profitable business, it was an expensive hobby,” said Jorg. “With the new chang-

es, we are basically at the same level as the wineries now.” Under the new B.C. liquor law, distilleries have to commit to using 100 per cent B.C. agricultural raw products in order to be licensed as B.C. Craft Distillery. This commitment has to be proven in an expensive LDB audit. Maple Leaf Spirits Inc. is the second distillery in B.C. certified as following these criteria. The other certified distillery is Meridale Cidery on Vancouver Island. “From day one, we always used 100 per cent B.C. product. That was our goal and never changed,” said Jorg, adding that all the fruit and grapes they distill their spirits from come from local growers. The Engels have been advocating for these changes since they first opened Maple Leaf with their signature Maple liqueur, made from South Okanagan cherries and certified-organic maple syrup. “When we started eight years ago, I never expected it to take that long to convince the government that the change they did for the wine industry was a positive change and the same will happen in our case as well,” said Jorg, noting that there are some 22,000 small distilleries in southern Germany, where they grew up. In contrast, there are only seven craft-style distilleries in B.C., though they have been told there are license applications pending for 16 more. Right now, there are seven similar distilleries in operation but there are pending licenses for a total of 16 more. “With that new agreement, I could see 50 distilleries in the next five years,” said Anette, adding they often get visitors who want to start a distillery. “We have met a lot of people that are interested in doing this. It’s not easy, it’s an art.” Maple Leaf’s craft distillery room at 1386 Carmi Avenue in Penticton is open to the public. Call 250-493-0180 to arrange a tour or visit them online at www.mapleleafspirits.ca.

Jorg and Anette Engel use some of their own craft-made spirits to toast a new license from the Liqour Control and Licensing Branch, which will allow them to sell their products directly to other licensed establishments, like local restaurants.

Accused murderer testifies he feared for his life Joe Fries

Western News Staff

An argument over a bet placed on a video game escalated into a full-blown relationship crisis that ended in the shooting death of his common-law wife, a retired RCMP officer testified at his second-degree murder trial. Keith Wiens admitted to firing a single shot into the head of Lynn Kalmring in August 2011 at their Penticton home, but maintains she was carrying a knife and he acted in self-defence. His trial, in front of a jury in B.C. Supreme Court in Kelowna, continued this week after a one-month break. On the witness stand Thursday, Wiens said the pair arrived home from a motorcycle ride around 5 p.m. the day before the shooting. They drank alcohol, ate dinner, then played Nintendo Wii video games. He said the two often made bets of a sexual nature on the games. He lost the bet that night, and when he went to bed around 10:40 p.m., found sex toys on his pillow, but moved them aside because he wanted to rest up for a golf game the next day. He said Kalmring became upset when she saw

that he was not in the mood to settle the bet. Wiens said she confronted him a number of times afterwards as he tried to sleep and suggested that he didn’t want to have sex with her because he was no longer attracted to her, and that he wanted to go to work in Grande Prairie to get out of their relationship. “I said, ‘No, it’s nothing to do with that. I love you. I just need to get some sleep,’” he recalled. Kalmring, he continued, was drunk and grew increasingly agitated before he told her to go to their spare bedroom, which she did. He then fell asleep, but woke later to her hitting him. He eventually told her to pack her things and go live with her kids. At that, “I would say that she snapped,” Wiens said, and after a final expletive-filled tirade, she left again. Wiens said he then armed himself with the handgun he kept in his beside table because he feared for his life. “She was not Lynn. She was crazy and she’d just assaulted me when I was sound asleep, and I was worried about what was coming next.” Soon, he said, she re-entered the bedroom

with a knife and rushed at him. “I backed up ... and I lifted up my gun and I shot her,” Wiens said, his voice rising in pitch and growing quieter. After watching Kalmring collapse onto the floor, he said, he put the gun in its holster on the bed, and walked to the bathroom where he vomited into the toilet. Next, he called 911, got dressed, and went outside to surrender to police. As he began filling in more details, Wiens wiped his eyes, blew his nose and resumed his normal voice. He also testified the argument that led up to the shooting was the first the couple had ever had. Under cross-examination by Crown counsellor Colin Forsyth, however, Wiens admitted they’d previously had one other “minor” fight. He explained the “semi-disagreement” happened at a Willie Nelson concert when he dissuaded her from breaking into the singer’s dressing room to flash her breasts. “That’s the only time we had a disagreement with each other,” Wiens said. Forsyth then went over the contents of a letter that Wiens wrote to Kalmring early on Jan. 1, 2011, that began, “I don’t take kindly to be-

ing told f**k you ... however that’s alright, I can accept it.” Wiens insisted the letter was not written as a result of an argument, nor did it constitute one. “She used to say f**k you if I didn’t do the dishes, too. That was just her terminology,” he said. Forsyth and Wiens also sparred over other small details, including what targets at shooting ranges are meant to depict and the proper use of exclamation marks. Some of Wiens’ answers drew looks of apparent amusement from a pair of male jurors, who smirked as he spoke, while other members of the 12-person panel took notes. Earlier in the week, a forensic pathologist testified he believed the knife found in Kalmring’s hand by police was placed there after her death, because she would have dropped it if she’d been holding it when she was shot. Dr. William Currie also testified that had the knife remained in her hand as she fell to the floor, it wouldn’t have been easily removed from her grasp, as a police officer testified it was. The trial continues today.

Rural transit service plan rolling along John Arendt Black Press

Summerland is another step closer to having a bus service now that the municipality and B.C. Transit have entered into an agreement. The agreement was approved on Monday. The service will include four return trips each weekday and two weekday stops in Trout Creek. The Penticton Regional Hospital will be included as one of the stops. Fares will be $2 for a trip within Summerland and $4 for a oneway trip to or from Penticton. At present, Summerland has a paratransit service between Summerland and Penticton, operating one 20-passenger bus 2,250 hours a year. This service, a door-to-door pickup, requires riders to make ar-

rangements 24 hours in advance. For a fixed-route service, the cost to the municipality is expected to run between $48,000 and $54,000 a year. While the agreement has been approved, the details have yet to be determined. At present, there are several options for service, depending on the destinations in Penticton and on the routes in Summerland. All options are for four weekday trips, although the times of those trips has yet to be determined. Mayor Janice Perrino said the service must be set up to allow working commuters to get to Penticton early enough to get to workplaces in the city and leaving late enough to allow them time to catch a return bus. An evening service has also been suggested, although the time for such a service is not yet known.

I don’t think we’re addressing our youths. — Coun. Martin Van Alphen

Additional runs or additional days of service would require more money from the municipality. The start date has not yet been finalized, but Perrino would like to see it begin in fall. “Our hope is for September or October,” she said. Once the bus system is in place, adjustments will be made to the schedule and the service. “It’s going to take some time for this to get up and running,” she said.

Steve Harvard, senior regional transit manager with B.C. Transit, said the details such as the times when the buses will run have yet to be determined. Her said the initial service will be for Monday to Friday during the day. “My concern is that there are no weekends and no nights,” Perrino said. Coun.

service will only benefit seniors. “I don’t think we’re addressing our youths,” he said, adding that they would use the service in the evenings and on the weekends. Harvard said the initial route can be expanded in the future if the demand exists. “We have to get the service established,” he said. Monday to Friday service is normally the highest demand for transit service. Coun. Bruce Hallquist said it is important for council to consider the service carefully. “I’m not as sold as the rest of you on this,” he said. He added that the bus service between Peachland and Kelowna often has empty buses on its route. The motion to sign the transit agreement was carried with Hallquist opposed. Coun. Lloyd Christopherson was not present at the meeting.

In her victory speech Wednesday, Premier Christy Clark thanked new constituents in Westside-Kelowna for welcoming her with “open arms and open hearts.” She became the new MLA for that riding in a byelection made necessary by the loss of her Vancouver-Point Grey seat in the May 14 provincial. Ben Stewart, who initially won Westside-Kelowna, resigned soon after to give the premier a safe place to run. Clark earned 63 per cent of the popular vote in the byelection, easily defeating runner-up Carole Gordon, who collected 30 per cent of the vote for the NDP. Six other names were on the ballot. During her victory speech at the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort, Clark noted her commitment to fix Westside Road and start the planning process for a second Okanagan Lake bridge cross-

ing. She also pledged to work on a new health centre in West Kelowna. Clark also offered an olive branch to those who didn’t support her. “If you did not vote for me tonight, I will work hard to get your vote four years from now,” she said. Clark then saluted Stewart for sacrificing his seat and placing the interests of the Liberal Party ahead of his own. “I have never seen anybody with the work ethic and commitment that Ben has,” said Clark. Stewart also served as Clark’s campaign chairman, and the premier said he will continue to play an advisory role for her and the government. Clark also revived the spirit of W.A.C. Bennett and his son Bill Bennett, both long serving premiers of B.C. who helped put Kelowna and the Okanagan on the map. “The people of West Kelowna deserve nothing less, so let’s get on with it with vigour and energy,” she said. Clark campaigned on her ability as premier to deliver on her promises, and started making good on Thursday, when she announced $1 million to repair a 15-kilometre stretch of Westside Road.

Natalie leffler looks at the Honda Civic which used to be her only means of transportation, especially getting her to and from medical appointments. Her daughter crashed the vehicle last month and was reportedly impaired at the time resulting in a 30-day impoundment of the car which the mother unsuccessfuly appealed to the B.C. Superintendent of Motor Vehicles.

Mother warns about lending car Joe Fries

Western News Staff

After spending 30 days without wheels, a Penticton mother has a cautionary tale to share with other parents who let their kids use the family car. Natalie Leffler’s 1997 Honda Civic was permanently decommissioned on June 10 when her 20-year-old daughter crashed it into a concrete barrier on Marina Way. Three other people were in the car, but no one was hurt. “I am the forgiving type,” said Leffler, “but I flipped that day. I really, really flipped.” Forgiveness was tough, since the daughter was impaired at the time of the crash and subsequently had her licence suspended for 90 days. That carried with it a mandatory 30-day impoundment of the car, even though the vehicle is registered in her mom’s name. Leffler appealed to the B.C.

Superintendent of Motor Vehicles for early release, since she needs the car to attend medical appointments, but was denied. “I’m a prisoner in my own home,” said Leffler, whose ailments include arthritis, fibromyalgia and asthma. Thankfully, she had optional collision insurance on the car, and because she had no knowledge the driver was drunk, will still receive a $2,800 payout to put towards the purchase of a new vehicle, even though her daughter was at fault. “If you’re having anybody else driving your car — even if it’s yourself, actually — have that. You never know,” she said. Amid concerns about what kind of replacement car she can buy for $2,800, Leffler is also angry that only her daughter is on the hook for repaying ICBC, plus the $625 in towing, storage and impoundment fees and other outof-pocket expenses like cab fares.

As she sees it, the other three young adults in the car should share the pain. “They’re all in it together, they’re all one-quarter responsible. If they had any decent kind of upbringing, they would ‘fess up and offer,” said Leffler, who’s considering action in small claims court. “What really, really, really gets to me is that aside from my daughter — who has shown tremendous remorse and she’s trying to make amends — none of those kids so much as offered an apology to me.” She noted she could have asked police to charge the bunch with theft, but elected not to. “I didn’t want to screw them up and give them a criminal record, so I give them a break here and this is what I get.” Leffler would appreciate hearing from anyone who has a reasonably priced, reliable car for sale.

Patience Pays If that shirt you bought three months ago now feels a little snug, you aren’t going to return it to the store. Instead, you’ll probably hang it up in the cupboard and wait until you get back into shape. That same principal can be applied to investing. There will be times when the markets are volatile. A decline should not prompt you to sell your securities unless they no longer fit your needs. To sell investments in a declining market can mean a financial loss. The best strategy to adopt is a “buy and hold” philosophy, which means purchasing solid investments and keeping them over the long-term to realize growth. Many investors can tell you the story of selling a stock the moment it took a dip, only to see its value rebound within months of that sale. While some stocks grab headlines with their sudden rise, such stocks can be very risky. It’s like buying a piece of clothing that never fit but

The group putting on the Challenge Penticton triathlon is in line for a $25,000 boost with the race now just seven weeks away. Despite previous reservations, a committee of the board of the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen voted last week to devote half of its $50,000 economic development fund to the triathlon society. The full board is expected to approve the expenditure at its next meeting July 18. In April, Challenge Penticton general manager Barb Haynes provided an update on race preparations and asked the RDOS for the cash in exchange for promotional consideration. Then in June, the board was presented with several ideas on which it could spend its economic development fund, including the race, but elected to do nothing. Mark Pendergraft, the board chair and director for rural Osoyoos, said some colleagues had a change of heart.

“It was brought forward by a couple of the board (committee) members that had reconsidered and thought that it was going to be a good use of that fund, and they feel it’s important to get Challenge off to a good start,” Pendergraft said. Osoyoos Mayor Stu Wells was among several directors who previously expressed concern about a lack of regional return on the investment. “In my area, the spin-offs are very, very limited,” he said at the June 7 board meeting. Wells was absent from last week’s meeting, but Pendergraft said he understands his neighbour’s concerns. “For the rural area, particularly mine down at the far end, I don’t expect there would be a lot of economic development ... down our way. But there’s always some spin- off. There are fruit stands and whatnot that might get a little extra business.”

you couldn’t resist the bargain. It just doesn’t make sense. Trying to time your purchase to buy a stock on the upswing almost never works. Just ask professional money managers, who steer clear of such practices in favour of researching investments to understand their longterm potential. Of course, movement in the market prompts some investors to stay exclusively with fixed rate products such as GICs because returns are guaranteed. For investors looking for growth, this strategy sacrifices the potential for growth in favour of predictable returns. They may not provide high enough yields to build the kind of

nest egg they are seeking, and could, in fact, lose ground in periods of high inflation. It’s critical to understand the investments you purchase. While an investor buying GICs understands they offer more limited growth potential than stocks, those buying stocks must be aware that their investment may be subject to fluctuations in value. Buying investments with a long-term and diversified strategy provides you with the opportunity to balance these challenges. Your financial advisor can help you find the right combination of investments for a portfolio that provides reliable returns and growth potential. He or she can also offer many examples, and reassurances, that persistence pays off even when the markets get bumpy. Questions about your financial situation?

Playing on water comes with certain danger

The climate might be dry, but there is no shortage of lakes and beaches in the Okanagan, giving it a well-deserved reputation for fun in and around the water. But when relaxing at the beach, on a boat or ﬂoating down the Okanagan River channel, it’s easy to forget that playing on the water brings with it a certain amount of danger as well. On June 29, a man died in Wood Lake when he dove into the water to help his sons who were struggling. The boys survived, but the father, an able swimmer, drowned, shocked by the cold water and caught in an undertow from a nearby creek. And earlier this week, tragedy was averted on the channel when bystanders cut a man free from the rope he had used to tie two ﬂoatation devices together, which had then caught on a piling and trapped his arm. That’s just two examples, which are part of an unfortunately long list. According to the Lifesaving Society, there has already been 37 drowning deaths in B.C. this year, up from 20 last year at this time. Most of us would never think of getting drunk and climbing behind the wheel of a car. But unfortunately, far too many don’t use the same common sense when driving a boat or engaging in other activities on the water. Alcohol and drugs account for 40 per cent of drownings, whether swimming or in boats. It’s great to have the hot weather we’ve PENTICTON WESTERN been waiting for so long and to pair that up with cool waters, but those refreshing moments can quickly turn terrifying, as the man trapped on the channel found out. Enjoy the summer, but before heading to the lakes, make sure to familiarize yourself with safety tips, familiarize yourself with the conditions and above all, use common sense.

End of the Arab Spring?

If the people in charge of the various opposition parties in Egypt had any strategic vision, they would not have launched the mass protests that caused the army to oust President Mohammed Morsi on July 4. They would have bided their time and waited for the next election. Because there is probably still going to be a next election in Egypt, despite the coup, and now the Muslim Brotherhood might actually win it. There is a good deal of chatter in the media at the moment about the “end of the Arab Spring,” some of it by commentators who can barely conceal their delight. Egypt, with almost one-third of the world’s total Arab population, was the great symbol of the democratic movement’s success, and now Egyptian democracy is in a mess. But the drama still has a long way to run. There was no risk of civil war in Egypt before last week’s military intervention, and there is no risk of civil war now either. What we are seeing is a noholds-barred struggle for power between rival political movements, in a system where the political rules are newly written, hotly disputed, and poorly understood. And all the players

have made some serious mistakes. The Muslim Brotherhood, on the basis of last year’s 51.7 per cent majority for Morsi in the presidential election, assumed that it had the unquestioning support of half the population. This was probably not true. Many voted for Morsi in recognition of the Muslim Brotherhood’s long resistance to six decades of military dictatorship. Others voted for him in gratitude for the Brotherhood’s unfailing support for the poor, or in disgust at the fact that Morsi’s only opponent in the second round of the election was a left-over from the Mubarak regime. Perhaps as few as half of them actually voted for the Brotherhood’s core project of Islamising Egyptian law and forcing its own version of Islamic values on Egyptian soci-

ety — but the Brothers seemed to think they all had. Even if that had been true, trying to impose fundamental changes on a country with the support of only half the population was not wise. Some of the constitutional changes that Morsi imposed, and some of his tactics for pushing them through, may actually have been the result of political compromises within the Brotherhood, where he constantly had to fend off the fanatics who wanted even more extreme measures. Nevertheless, the secular opposition parties inevitably saw him as an extremist, and genuinely feared that he would somehow manage to force the whole package on Egypt. So the secular parties responded with extra-constitutional tactics of their own: mass demonstrations that were explicitly intended to trigger a military take-over that would sideline Morsi and the Brotherhood. In only four days of demos, they succeeded, in large part because the army, a resolutely secular organisation, had its own grave misgivings about where Morsi’s government was taking Egypt. But the army hasn’t actually seized power. It has appointed Adly Mansour, the head of the Constitutional Supreme Court,

as interim president, with the task of organising new parliamentary and presidential elections. It will not be possible to exclude the Muslim Brotherhood from those elections without turning the whole process into a farce — especially since the Brotherhood will probably be going through some changes of its own. The Muslim Brotherhood took little part in the 2011 revolution, and the men at the top, including Morsi, were utterly unprepared for power. They are now likely to be replaced by a younger generation of leaders who are more ﬂexible and more attuned to the realities of power. They might even win the next election, despite all Morsi’s mistakes this time round. That’s the real irony here. If the opposition parties had only left Morsi in power, his unilateral actions and his inability to halt Egypt’s drastic economic decline would have guaranteed an opposition victory at the next election. Now it’s all up in the air again. But democratic politics is far from over in Egypt. Foolish things have been done, but the Arab Spring is not dead.

National park needed in South Okanagan We need a national park. It appears that the national park proposal and plan has died on the vine for now. Renewed lobbying and petitioning of federal and provincial governments would be a prerequisite to rekindle the formulation of a realistic project for the South Okanagan. Barriers of opposition would have to be resolved. For instance, Federal regulations would have to be modified to allow the local helicopter training company to continue to operate in the park area. The writer resides in the area of training activity. There is no evidence or observation of disturbance to wildlife as the ATV’s would create. The Heli-training is a vital corporate citizen in the Pent-

Utility costs too steep

I believe that what Mr. Copeland is referring to in his article in the last published letters to the editor concerns his equalization payment plan with FortisBC and the notice that his monthly payments will now be increased by 33 per cent. No matter how you slice it, this amounts to a rate increase of 33 per cent. If I should receive the same notice my monthly payment would increase from $380 to $506. $380 per month is already highway robbery, but if I had not agreed to this amount I was informed that my electricity would be turned off. Being a senior I find it hard enough at the present rate without such a despicable money grab on my meager income. It is easy to blame Fortis, but the B.C. Utilities Commission is just as guilty, if not more so, as they must have OK’d such a blatant theft of a seniors income. Apparently Fortis has been given the right to steal and unless the public does something about it nothing will change. It would be too expensive to buy out Fortis and send them packing, but the commission comprised of appointed individuals and I think that it is high time that they were sacked and new ones were appointed that would listen to the people. I guess that receiving a salary of between $85,000 to $180,000 per year shields them from feeling the pain that us poor peons feel every month. There are petitions out there asking for an audit of the prices, principles and policies of both Fortis and the commission, so please sign it so that we can regain control of our rights to fair play. Remember, with luck you may someday become pensioners and, with the Golden Age, live on a fixed income. Donald E Thorsteinson Oliver

Property an eyesore

This letter is in regards to the property at 555 East Wade Ave. here in our fair city of Penticton. This property has been a disgrace for the past eight years. What was once a nice property is certainly not so much in recent years. We seem to recall a bylaw, the good neighbour bylaw. Now we’re not certain of just what it entails but one needs to look no further than the above abandoned address that

icton area. Turning an opponent into a supporter would be a victory for all. A difficult issue would be ranchers and the open range policy. The elimination of range cattle from sensitive areas and creeks would encourage the return of wildlife — wildflowers etc. instead of manure pollution and the spread of noxious weeds. The creation of a park would place Penticton on the global network as “Destination British Columbia” to complement our “Napa North” jingle. Peaches and beaches alone just ain’t gonna cut it in the future if we want to compete with other destinations for the

tourist dollar. In the past (at meetings) opponents to the park were very vocal in their views. Estimate about 10 per cent making 100 per cent more noise than our silent majority of supporters of the park. In respect to the hunters on this issue the park boundaries were never suitable for hunting. Most of the popular hunting grounds are out of the plan areas. If we delay in the drafting of the national park plan, there will be little left for the future as Nature Trust is slowly assimilating vast tracts of essential areas. Dave Chaplin Orofino Farms

sits rotting in front of all who pass, or better yet, live in the neighbourhood. From the grass which now sits at an unbelievable length to the slithering snakes that occupy this fine length of lawn as well as the families of deer that call the property home as well. How about the rodents who also call it home, from mice to rats and who knows what else? What about the transients who also call it home in summer months? Rent free, yes, drug free, certainly not! Now all the bylaw guys all know the address as they’ve been called out more times than we can mention. We don’t blame them, as they can only do so much, however we do question the city and the leaders who want to clean up these derelict type properties. How come nothing seems to be happening to the one in question, this after more than a handful of complaints? What must it take to get this situation fixed. If in doubt, please drive by and take a look at our once beautiful street and help us bring it back to its glory.

I could not believe my ears when a noname Calgarian obviously lives high and dry has the Calgary Stampede as his high priority! He must be wearing his chaps on backwards as he appears to have little feeling about the devastation — loss of life — homes etc. by flooding that surrounds the site of the Calgary Stampede. The man claims the abuse of horses must go on despite hell or high water which makes no horse sense to a Missouri mule yet alone the poor horses forced to participate in a death wish. Great time to end animal misery and the controversial cruelty as the big flood just maybe, sent a message — pay back can be a bitch.

Tourney a success

most certainly stop recycling should BFI expect me to rent a recycling container that must be kept outside. I’m on disability, very low income. I can’t afford another expense even if it’s 10 bucks a month. As it is, I must rent a room out in my home just so I don’t lose my home. I will never get to experience living on my own again, unless by some miracle I win the lottery. Not only that, but now I’d be expected to fill a box in my home with all my recycling, then transfer it to the box outside and then roll the container to the curbside. I’m on disability for a very good reason. I don’t just have a few aching muscles pretending to render me useless. I have a few crippling diseases. As for your poor employees getting hurt. It doesn’t help when they’re twisting their entire bodies while throwing the recycle box up to empty into the truck. Perhaps you should teach them proper movements for picking up more than 20 pounds of stuff. I had to learn that when I worked with heavy equipment parts in the past. Proper lifting skills don’t apply to your employees who pick up the recycling. I’ve seen that enough times. Wendy Tapping Penticton

Christie Clark, who in my opinion, is not the premier of B.C. as she lost her seat in the provincial election. The Liberal Party should appoint a premier who is an elected MLA. She can remain as the leader of the party if she chooses but not as premier. Then if the Liberal Party chooses to force a byelection by having one of there own resign in order to allow Clark to run for a seat then they should be paying, in full, for the cost of that byelection. If she wins that byelection then and only then can she be reinstated as premier. The people of BC have already gone through with the cost of a provincial election and should not be made to pay for this byelection. So I would hope that Christie and the Liberal Party would do the right and honourable thing by digging into their own pockets on this one! Doug Maxwell Penticton

Council deciding on Summer is here! Eckhardt properties Temperatures are rising... is your air conditioning up to par?

Western News Staff

Council is finally getting around to deciding how to deal with nine city-owned properties along Eckhardt Avenue that are currently bearing about $1.6 million in liens from contractors working on the failed hockey dorm project. “I am hoping by the end of the day council will instruct staff to move forward with a resolution on that issue,” said former acting mayor Garry Litke on Monday morning. In addition to the liens, the contractors launched legal action earlier this year. Litke, who resigned Monday, said council would be trying to decide whether to settle out of court or let the issue proceed. “My agenda would be to resolve that, give staff some instructions today and get that resolved over the summer so that by the fall we could start entertaining some of the proposals I have been hearing about,” said Litke. While he was still mayor, Penticton MLA Dan Ashton maintained the city is not liable for the contractors’ claims. “I am very comfortable with the city’s legal position on the properties and, as I have said all the way along, they are going after the wrong

person,” said Ashton. A freedom of information request made earlier this year revealed that legal bills related to the properties had reached more than $50,088 by Jan. 31 and that the city had spent $37,016 on removing the contractors’ work and restoring the property. The lands have been in limbo since early 2012, when the project came to a crashing end, as financial backers pulled out and news broke about allegations of fraudulent business practices on the part of developer Loren Reagan. In February 2013, the contractors moved their case ahead, filing notices of civil claim that named the City of Penticton, along with Reagan and his partners, Mike and Tana Elphicke, the principals of Okanagan Elite Hockey Group, as defendants. Five separate claims were filed by Grizzly Excavating, Avkon Construction, Geopac Inc., R&R Reinforcing and Task Construction Management. “Given the information we had at the time and the motivation to move forward with something on that land and the recommendations we had from various sources, that’s the decision we made. Obviously not the right decision, we’re paying for that now,” said Litke. “From my perspective, I just want to see it get resolved. We have quite a bit of interest in that property, but obviously as long as there are matters before the courts, people don’t want to get involved in that.”

Idol fame charts new course Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

Music has literally been the soundtrack for Shane Wiebe’s life. From ﬁnding his wife, to being on a national TV show to realizing he can pursue music as a full-time job; Wiebe has been on quite the musical journey. “There are these experiences that the gift of music brings into our lives that is so enriching,” said Wiebe, who will be performing in Penticton on July 17. “The contentment that comes from doing both what you love to do and what you feel you have been called to do, from a faith perspective, is just uncharted. I’m in such a wonderful chapter of my life. While in Canada, it is very tough to make a living doing music, we are incredibly rich in experience and we feel so blessed.” Growing up singing in church choirs and playing piano in recitals, a instrument which he admits to hating as child, Wiebe ate his words when he turned 14. The tools he picked up from playing the piano made it easy for him to perform in front of his school, which prompted his music teacher to

I always call that the hip check that changed the course of my life. — Shane Wiebe

encourage him to join the Abbotsford Senior Chamber Singers the following year. He then was given the chance to travel with a choir in Europe. Wiebe made plans to work on the oil rigs, but ditched those when his father passed away and he went straight into postsecondary. Singing became more of a hobby until he received a call from a girl that had been on that European choir trip with him looking for someone to accompany her on the piano. The pair blended well, became great friends and eventually Wiebe married Angela Bensler. A few months after the wedding, music came knocking again when Wiebe was urged by friends to try out for Canadian Idol. “I always call that the hip check that changed the course of my life,” said Wiebe. “I used to really bug my friends who are musicians and were trying

to make a go of becoming musicians professionally. It was always get a haircut and get a real job kind of thing.” Wiebe indulged his friends and tried out, climbing to a top ﬁve spot on the CTV show, affording him the privilege of working with artists like Lionel Richie, Gordon Lightfoot and Debra Byrd. “After Canadian Idol a good friend of mine said ‘Now what are you going to do with this?’ I thought nothing. It has run its course, it was fun, but now time to get a real job. My friend said you will always wonder if you don’t try and that was nine years ago,” said Wiebe. Along with his wife, he formed The Wiebes, an awardwinning duo that has released four studio albums. They have received numerous Covenant Award nominations and wins, have been seen by millions on TV and found themselves on

the Top 50 Canadian Adult Contemporary radio charts among artists like Michael Buble and Elton John. Shane said they are “unapologetically Christian” but promise something for everyone in their live show. Their latest release, The Hymns Collection, leaves room for listeners to sing along and picked up Inspirational Album of the Year at the Canadian gospel music awards last November. “We will be performing an assortment of stuff from our releases. We like to have a lot of fun with it. I don’t think it matters what walk of life you are in you will ﬁnd something you enjoy at our show. Angela and I are never afraid to have a great time at our show,” he said. Although their tour schedule doesn’t allow them much time in Penticton, Wiebe said he can remember camping in the Okanagan as a kid and calls the area “God’s country.” “Spending hours playing on the beaches and nervously scanning the lake for Ogopogo. Now I can pass on the tradition by freaking my kids out about it too,” he said with a laugh. Admission to The Wiebes 7 p.m. concert at the Church of the Nazarene on July 17 is by donation.

Like many college students, Nikita Afonso will spend her summer heading to music festivals, except this Penticton songstress will be on the other side of the stage. Together with her new band, Nikita and the Bluffs, she won’t have to travel far to provide ear candy to the live music crowds. On Saturday the band will perform their first big Penticton gig (they also played at Relay For Life) at the free concert series, The Sunshine Cabaret, at 7 p.m. at Gyro Park. They will follow that up with a performance on the opening night of the Penticton Peach Festival on Aug. 7 at 8 p.m., it will be Afonso’s second crack on stage at the annual event she grew up with. “Peachfest was always something I wanted to be a part of and last year was a dream come true,” she said. “It was really neat to be on the other side of the stage for that and performing. We have been work-

ing really hard this summer so I hope I will be a little less nervous because I didn’t get to do as many rehearsals last summer. It will be great to get up there again.” After wrapping up a successful first year at Selkirk College, Afonso joined with a couple of other locals students in Johnny Ciardullo, Josh Visser and Branko Bevanda to form their current band. Not able to come to an agreement on what they should call themselves, Afonso turned to Facebook to ask for suggestions. An acquaintance Afonso knows from Miss Penticton suggested the Bluffs, drawing from the local reference the Skaha Bluffs they thought it was a great fit. It has been a big year for Afonso, who opened for Canadian country superstar Paul Brandt at the South Okanagan Events Centre in 2012. Since attending Selkirk she also has been involved in several showcases and learned a lot about performing, leading a band and music theory. Afonso has also grown to appreciate new genres of

music. “I’m veering a little bit away from country with this band. Country is still my favourite, but I found that in my year in Nelson that I grew to like singing different genres as well. People will hear things from us like Moondance by Van Morrison, but we still will be doing country songs like Ain’t Nothing About You by Brooks and Dunn and some of my original music,” she said. Opening for Nikita and the Bluffs on Saturday at Gyro Park is Penticton’s Jolene Hayter, a former Miss Penticton. Sunshine Cabaret schedule: All concerts are free and start at 7 p.m. July 12 - Hi Bandwidth, July 19 - Bobby Bovenzi, July 20 — Aidan Mayes and Mandy Cole, July 26 — Out of Eden , July 27 — Flashback, Aug. 2 — Steve Jones Band, Aug. 3 — Great White North, Aug. 16 — Papa Wheely, Aug. 17 — Cynthia and Band, Aug. 30 — Fluxx and Aug. 21 — ABBATribute.

The pipes, the pipes are a calling. The Summerland Pipes and Drums are looking for a few good men and women to bolster their ranks and keep the spirit of the band alive. In the four years since its inception and certification as the community’s official pipe band, the group of about 15 musicians have participated in a wide range of special events and parades. While the organization is thriving overall, band officials are finding work, school and other commitments of its members sometimes leaves the group a bit short. While not a competition band, their philosophy is to be a quality group with a generous repertoire of pipe tunes performed in an atmosphere of fellowship. They are hoping to find people of all ages and skill levels from musicians who may just be a bit rusty to those who are hoping to learn either the art of drumming or piping. “Remember, this is a street band, not a competition band with arduous multi-week practices,” said drum sergeant Rod MacIntosh. “The band’s aim is to play quality music while enjoying good fellowship.

fore, those who have been discouraged by internal dissension or lack of leadership in previous bands will find it a refreshing change.” For beginners and those looking up upgrade their skills, Summerland Pipes and Drums have very experienced musicians in both disciplines. Pipe major David Cain has a resume of membership in Grade 1 and 2 calibre pipe bands in eastern Canada and MacIntosh is a professional percussionist whose experience ranges from

military bands to symphony orchestras. Instruction is cost-free to members. “It’s for the fun of it,” said MacIntosh. “Certainly nobody is going to get rich but for a musician there is the satisfaction of playing in parades, plus we have a few social events as well during the year.” The time commitment is relatively minor, with only one weekly practice (about two hours in length) and one or two special events a month.

For anyone interested, the band practises on Monday nights except holidays from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Summerland Royal Canadian Legion Hall, 12405 Rosedale Ave., Summerland. For further information, call Cain at 250-767-0238 or email Fcainy@shaw.ca. Drummers can contact MacIntosh at 250767-6153 or email rodmacintosh@shaw.ca.

It’s going to cost $50,000 to complete a one-year master’s degree, but she’s been unable to tap into student loans to go abroad. “This really is my last resort. I didn’t want to have to ask the community, and so I’m definitely pushing my comfort zone by putting myself out there and asking for contributions,” she said. “And the reason I decided to do it is because I don’t want to be here in three months and regret not trying my hardest to get there.”

A lack of funding has never stopped her before. Drabot has been self-sufficient since she was 16 and has held down multiple jobs to support herself and pay for her education at UBC-Okanagan, where she completed an undergraduate psychology degree this spring. Her master’s will focus on empowering women in leadership. Don MacIntyre, who was Drabot’s principal at McNicoll Park Middle School, is confident she’ll get to Cambridge through sheer force of will. ”More and more of the research you read about what builds successful kids ... talks about grit and determination, and she was just chock full of that,” he said.

Drabot’s persistence also paid off this June with a $10,000 Pushor Mitchell LLP Gold Medal Leadership Prize in recognition of her volunteerism and community service. With that money in the bank, she has $40,000 left to raise for Cambridge, which needs to know by the end of July if she’ll be attending in the fall. If she doesn’t reach her goal, she’ll take time off to work and save money to go later.

Two near-misses on the water near Penticton this week came amid a flurry of warnings about exercising caution while indulging in summer fun. Hours before a boat crash-landed Tuesday on a pier near downtown Penticton, a man floating on the Okanagan River channel became snagged on a bridge pillar at Green Avenue and had to be cut loose. Branton Grinde, 17, had just gotten off the channel with friends around 3 p.m. and was about to start crossing the bridge when he saw a man who looked to be in his 40s thrashing in the water below. It appeared the man’s tube was tied to others that were wrapped around the other side of the bridge pillar, and the rope with which they were attached was also tangled around his arm. “He just started yelling for help, so we all ran down to the water and I phoned 911 to get some people over there,” said Grinde. “I was definitely a bit worried. I didn’t know what to do, so I just yelled for somebody to get a knife.” Another onlooker ran to his truck, grabbed a knife, then swam out to the victim and cut him loose. “He was getting a face full of water for like five

minutes,” Grinde said, adding the man simply floated away with his group afterwards. Other people haven’t been so lucky. In the first five days of July, the B.C. Coroners Service responded to four drowning deaths, including a man who died while tubing on a river near Courtenay and another who lost his life after rescuing his two children from Wood Lake. “A review of drowning deaths over the past five years shows that many victims are unfamiliar with the waters involved and therefore don’t see the risk or underestimate it,” B.C. Coroners Service spokesperson Barbara McLintock said in a statement. The risks include unexpected currents, steep and sudden drop-offs, or unusually high water levels because of heavy rains or late spring runoff. “In a fast-flowing river, six inches of water can sweep a person downstream and two feet can carry away most vehicles,” she said, adding 40 per cent of drowning victims are later found to be impaired by drugs or alcohol. Mothers Against Drunk Driving Canada has issued its own statement urging people to report suspected drunk boaters. In partnership with the B.C. government and the RCMP, the group is spreading that message through the installation of signs at 42 provincial parks.

While a fine is in place for violators, so far it has not been used. Mayor Janice Perrino said a curbside garbage bylaw will likely come to the council table in the near future. “For me, if we can save even one bear, it’s worth it,” she said. Kirk added that the bylaw also helps to reduce the number of encounters with other wildlife, such as deer. The WildSafeBC

The pristine new wastewater treatment plant in Okanagan Falls that opened this month was built to potentially handle sewage generated from far beyond the community itself, as future plans call for it to process effluent from Kaleden, Skaha Estates and Lakeshore Highlands. It was somewhat ironic, then, to find two portable toilets set up next to the facility during the plant’s grand opening July 3. Fortunately, capacity wasn’t the issue. Organizers for the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen wanted to ensure there were adequate facilities for the entourage that showed up to celebrate the plant’s official opening.

Okanagan Falls’ new $11.7-million treatment facility is surprisingly quiet, efficient (the sewage is used to heat and cool the operations building) and astonishingly odour-free, due to state-of-the-art technologies employed there. Touted as a community effort that involved the input of many Okanagan Falls residents, the grand opening saw many regional district directors show up to view the site — including a number of downstream directors. Future plans include further enhancement of the discharged waters from the plan through dispersal in the nearby Vaseux wetlands.

A bylaw restricting when Summerland residents could put out their garbage would help to reduce unwanted encounters with bears, a wildlife advocate says. Zoe Kirk, community co-ordinator of the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen’s WildSafeBC program, said Summerland does not have a curbside garbage bylaw at present. As a result, some residents will put their garbage out the night before it is to be picked up. The smell of the garbage then attracts bears

and other wild animals. So far this years two problem bears have been destroyed in Summerland and last year, three or four bears were destroyed, Kirk said. “Summerland has traditionally been a bit of a hot spot for bear encounters,” she said. In Naramata, where a garbage bylaw was introduced several years ago, the number of encounters with bears has dropped dramatically. In the past, bear complaints were common there and conservation officers had to destroy six to seven bears each year. In the last three years, one problem bear

A roofing job at a local school took an expensive twist when vandals dumped tar on the building’s walls and windows. The damage at Uplands Elementary was discovered on June 28 and the cost to repair it is estimated at $10,000. “Unfortunately, the money to clean this up comes right out of the school system budgets which are already stretched to the maximum,” according a Crime Stoppers bulletin. Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or visit www.sostips.ca. Information that leads to an arrest could result in an award of up to $2,000 and anonymity is promised.

to-install, cost- effective commercial wall.” Structurlam has a long history of innovation while operating from plants in both Penticton and Okanagan Falls. They were the first to use 3D modelling for design and the first to link 3D modelling to robotic fabrication. The CLT plant is one of only two in North America. The EcoStructure wall is a completely assembled, solid wood wall panel that is designed to compete with concrete tilt-up walls in commercial construction. It combines CLT technology, high performance insulation and a natural cedar rain barrier. The base component of the EcoStructure Wall System is the CLT panel. CLT has been compared in strength to concrete — but is up to six times lighter. Architects and engineers have recognized the advantages of building with CLT. “Recent technological advances such as CLT have clearly repositioned wood as a hitech material, providing us with more design flexibility and more economical solutions than ever before.” said Eric Karsh, principal, Equilibrium Consulting Inc.

Transforming the raw CLT panel to the EcoStructure panel is made possible by the use of a new CNC panel-cutting robot — the Hundegger PBA. This machine will cut, drill and notch massive CLT panels within a millimetre in accuracy. The building required to house the new machine showcases the products made inside. It is a 10,000 square foot glulam and CLT structure. The roof is covered with ﬁve-ply CLT panels which span between the arches without the use intermediate beams. The walls are threeply CLT’s. The building is a tribute to the modern breakthroughs of building large structures with wood. “Only CLT and mass timber panels can meet the quality, durability and strength demands for many building types that currently defer to steel, concrete or masonry” said Michael Green of MGA Architecture. Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas was at the Structurlam facility on Monday for the announcement. He said the new cross-laminated technology creates jobs, supports the B.C. forest industry and is more environmentally friendly. “New trade agreements created by our government have also opened the doors for increased export activity, helping to create more jobs in other regions of British Columbia and increasing the overall economic beneﬁt from forest product innovation,” said Albas.

CASHBACK

Tragically, every year in BC countless dogs suffer and die after being thrown from the back of pickup trucks. Consequently, your pet should never ride unrestrained in the back or body of any vehicle. There are three simple options:

1. Put the dog in the vehicle with you. Use a crate or dog seatbelt as a restraint, or 2. Secure your dog in a kennel fastened to the centre of the truck, or 3. Secure your dog with a harness and short-tether leash to ensure safety from strangulation and death.

Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013. The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

Vees cut prices for season ticket drive Kristi Patton Western News Staff

Making a night out at a hockey game affordable is what the Penticton Vees have set out to do this upcoming season by introducing a special 30-day ticket campaign. “I want to take that passion from the town for our team and turn this building on our game nights into the No. 1 entertainment choice throughout the year. That is where we start today,” said Vees coach/ GM/president Fred Harbinson. At a press conference on Thursday, Harbinson told a rambunctious group of season ticket holders that the Vees have reduced the price of season tickets significantly and that they will be working more closely with Penticton Minor Hockey Association. Harbinson said there is no doubt people in Penticton love their team, especially that’s only lost 20 gmes at home in its last 126 contests. “At the same time we need to find ways to bring in the next group of people, maybe even the nonhockey fans. We dropped the ball a little bit on the business side but we are going to take a more active approach on promotions and try to find ways to work together with Global Spectrum on different nights to make it even more cost-effective maybe at the concession or different things to attract the non-hockey fans,” said Harbinson. The team is introducing three pricing levels, with fans having the option to buy a $149, $169 or

Mark Brett/Western news

PentiCton Vees president, Fred Harbinson, announced at press conference on Thursday a 30 day sale for season tickets that sets out to make watching hockey affordable for everyone in the community.

a $199 package for the upcoming season. Child (12 and under) and student (13 to 18) packages are available for $129. The three pricing levels are based on designated sections in the South Okanagan Events Centre. As well, the Vees are launching a minor hockey program for those registered with the Penticton Minor Hockey Association. All PMHA registered players will receive a free season’s pass if their parents buy one of three season ticket packages. The ticket

incentive will run from July 15 to Aug. 15, and after that ticket pricing will go back to the regular levels for the season. Those who have already bought season tickets will be refunded their money, can use it as credit towards playoffs or towards the following season’s tickets. A payment plan was also laid out in which a 25 per cent deposit is required upon submitting your season ticket application. Fans will have the option to pay the balance over three equal payments. That offer

is only in effect during the 30-day sale. Harbinson said after signing a one-year lease with the SOEC was his first task as president of the hockey club, and his next was to ensure going to the games is an affordable option for everyone. He said it is critical to get kids back into the SOEC watching the games. Last season, the club only sold nine child season passes, and in five years they probably sold 50, Harbonson said. He hopes the moves

they are making with the sale will change that. The Vees have proven to draw big crowds in the past, andHarbinson said he just would like to see that on a more regular basis. “Junior hockey is about the kids. Its not about corporations or big dollars…. We think this will be a success. We want to give back to the community, give back to minor hockey and we think this is a great way to do it,” he said. On top of the ticket announcement, Harbinson said the Vees want to do a better job of tying the club to minor hockey in the community. After talks with Penticton Minor Hockey Association president Bruce Judd, the Vees coaching staff and players also agreed to assist teams at their practices. “When we talk to NHL scouts and NHL agents they talk about how they think we have got a really good development model and it is crazy for our minor hockey not to draw into that. I think it is important for us to be out there and our players to be out there and attract those young kids and maybe it will give them more energy to want to be a player. They are also the next generation of Vees fans too,” said Harbison. “It is also about growing the opportunities for minor hockey players with our team, with other teams and give them opportunities to be the best player they can be.” The Vees also unveiled their new slogan for the season: Whatever It Takes.

Machtaler flies birdies to win PGA of B.C. event Birdies were flying all over the Gallagher’s Canyon Golf & Country Club in Kelowna on Tuesday as Tyrel Babkirk and Greg Machtaler of the Summerland Golf & Country Club shot -20 over two days to win the G & G Golf Company/Fletcher Leisure Group PGA of BC Pro-Assistant Championship. Babkirk’s and Machtaler’s 124 score beat last year’s champions, Kevin Maxwell and Matt Matheson of Olympic View in Victoria, by a stroke. Maxwell and Matheson overcame an opening round 68 to shoot the low round of the tournament, a -15 score of 57 on Tuesday, but that wasn’t quite enough to overcome the Summerland duo. “This feels so good, getting my first pro-

fessional (win),” said Babkirk. “Greg and I are great friends and he played so well.” The winning margin came on the Summerland duo’s final hole, as Machtaler hammered a drive, Babkirk wedged it to 10 feet and Machtaler sank the putt for the duo’s fourth birdie in the last five holes. “It was my best putt of the day,” said Machtaler, who is no stranger to winning, having won the PGA of BC Assistants Championship at Chilliwack last month with a closing round 65. The Summerland duo cashed a winning cheque for $2,250 and supplemented it with a $680 skin for their eagle on the 12th hole on Monday. Machtaler said the turning point for his team was a sloppy par on the 12th hole, a par-five where eagle and birdie are the norm.

“We’re 210 yards out after our drive and we make five and that really got us steamed,” said Machtaler. “We parred the next but then we made three birdies in a row.” After a par at the 17th, Babkirk told his partner that a birdie on the last might be important. “To get it to 20-under would be a great number to get to,” said Babkirk. And with both partners contributing to the cause, that ended up being the final margin of victory. Last year’s champions didn’t make it easy on the Summerland duo. “Kevin and I complement each other so well,” said Matheson. “He hits driver and I try and get it close so that one of us can make the putt.” Matheson and Maxwell cashed a cheque

for $1,500 for their second-place finish. Third place went to Seymour Creek’s James Legault and Bryn Parry, who shot 61 on the second day to go with their opening round 65 and a 126 total. The duo received $1,300 for their efforts. Tied for fourth place were Gorge Vale’s Edd Boudreau and Jim Cook, and Fairview Mountain’s Brian McDonald and Danny Long, who finished at 127. Each team cashed a cheque for $950. The final round, played under a scramble format, saw some impressive performances from many teams, including many players driving the green on the 15th and almost driving the 17th green, including Maxwell, who was only 20 yards short with his booming shot.

TSS AcAdeMy Midfielder dylan Vanas keeps his eye on the ball as Penticton Pinnacles connor Hawley (right) gives chase during action in last weekend’s Pacific coast Soccer league men’s U21 reserve match at Kings Park. The host team roared to a 7-0 win over Academy and will be away for two of their final three matches this weekend, wrapping up the season with a game at noon, July 21 back in Penticton.

into second place in the Pacific Coast Soccer League after a big weekend. The Pinnacles dominated the Kings Park pitch earning a 7-0 victory over TSS Academy. Now with just three games left in the regular season and trailing six points behind the first place overall Abbotsford MF Mariners, the Pinnacles need to remain vigilant. “It will tough for us to catch first but our goal is to see if we can come in second which will really put us in good position for playoffs,” said coach Paulo Araujo. In Sunday’s 7-0 win goals were scored by Wyatt Seddon-Johnstone with two, and Connor Hawley, Randy Hubber, Rico Patrocinio, Jeremy Pereira and Andrew Stevenson with singles. It was Patrocinio’s second game with the Pinnacles this season. Araujo said he has been a nice addition to the team as he has just come off his season in post-secondary playing at a high-level in Mexico. “We hadn’t seen them this year so we weren’t really sure what to expect. We know they pulled some surprises beating the No. 1 team,

so we went in really focused and put on a good show,” said Araujo. “The win really gives us some confidence going into this weekend’s crucial games. If we win our two games I am confident we will be in the playoffs.” The Pinnacles will play Chiliwack FC on Saturday and TSS Academy on Sunday, both games on the road. The Pinnacles have only lost one game on the road so far this season. “The keys to winning this weekend is to stay disciplined and to stay balanced. I think that is one of the reasons we are having success this year is because of that,” said Araujo. They finish off the regular season against Victoria United at Kings Park July 21 at noon.

Penticton Pinnacles U21 women While the U21 men are pushing for a top spot in the PCSL, the Greenscape Penticton Pinnacles U21 women are fighting for a playoff spot in a division that has a lot of parity. “All the teams are good and anyone can beat anyone on any given day in this league,” said coach Ray Hintz. Solid scoring op-

portunities is one of the things the coach is asking his team to focus on this weekend as the squad hasn’t been putting them away. A little luck can go a long way too, which was evident in last Sunday’s 1-1 tie against West Vancouver FC. “We had the last chance of the game but, unfortunately for us, we just couldn’t score. We had a nice build up and Anika (Nystrom) went around the last two defenders and placed it in the corner. The shot was going between the goalie’s legs and she just happened to get it before it went over the goal line,” said Hintz. Nystrom has been the team’s strongest scorer, currently sitting in fourth overall in the league but was shutout on last Saturday’s 2-0 loss to Mid Isle Highlanders FC. The coach said Nystrom has been bogged down with illness but they hope to have her on the pitch this weekend when they face the TSS Academy Black squad, who are first overall and have not lost a game all season. The Pinnacles also play TSS Academy Red on Saturday, a team they previously defeated 2-0 on the Pinnacles home pitch. Hintz will have to

fill his beleaguered roster that has been subject to injuries and players having work commitments that they can’t get out of, possibly with younger players and a few strategic adjustments. With most of the PSCL teams touching elbows in the standings, and the Pinnacles tied for fourth place, they will probably need to get a point this weekend to make it into the playoffs. “We need at least one win this weekend to stay in the playoff hunt. We are hoping to pick up two victories and it will be tough but the girls are up for the challenge,” said Hintz. “I think we can do it and put ourselves in a good position. We have only missed the playoffs once in our six or seven years in the league and we want to maintain that streak of getting in.” Hintz said the team has been defending strong as a unit and the focus this weekend will be to being more aggressive in their attack, score on the chances they get and more ball possession. The Greenscape Pinnacles will play their final regular season game against the NSGSC Stars on July 20, 7 p.m. at King’s Park.

The Penticton BMX Club is hosting a fundraiser at the Best Damn Sports Bar to help replace items that were stolen from their shed. In the spring a break-in to their moto shed saw many important items needed for races stolen, including a laptop, loaner bikes and helmets, starter gates, their PA system and other items. “It’s definitely impacted the season for us. We have small numbers in the club this year and it is all volunteer run so it has put a kink in our season,” said board member Alyson Jones. The fundraiser on July 4 aims to raise money for the non-profit organization to make improvements to the club and replace some of the stolen equipment. Funds will also be used to for some much needed maintenance on the track, which is also used by the public, and requires regular fixing of the berms. “We have had some donations from people and businesses which has been fantastic but there are still some items to replace. We have a lot of kids that come out and try BMX for

GUELZOW AUDREY

Mathilde

Mathilde Guelzow passed away on June 24, 2013 at the age of 82. She was born in Erlangen, Germany on July 5, 1930. Post secondary education at a University where she studied economy and business and graduated with high marks. She was offered a job at the Siemens Corporation in the Head Offices in Erlangen and worked there for 10 years. She knew all the top executives and Werner Von Siemens in person. In 1958 she followed Rudolf, the Love of her Life, to Canada. In 1963 she and her husband spent 3 years in Santa Monica, California where her daughter Belinda was born in the Hollywood Community Hospital in 1964. In 1966 the family moved back to Canada where her son Andrew was born in North Vancouver. She was also an active member and leader of the Boy Scouts in North Vancouver. She worked in accounting, was never unemployed and payed a lot of taxes in her life. She was a great asset to this country. She loved Canada and its kind and gracious people. Special thanks to the staff of the Moog & Hospice House and very special thanks to Dr. Leitner who gave her the best care possible. We all miss her very much. Rudolf and Andrew Guelzow, Belinda and Ken Scott, granddaughter Samantha. A private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

Audrey King passed away peacefully on Sunday, 7 July, 2013 at Penticton Regional Hospital. Her death, at age 92, ended a remarkable life. She was born in Vancouver and completed secondary school in Burnaby. She moved to Kaleden when she married Fred King in 1948 and began a thirty year career as postmaster. Her community contributions included leading the cub movement as Akela and serving in various capacities in the local church. She assisted her husband in running a large orchard.Audrey lived in Ottawa between 1979 and 1988 to provide volunteer support in the office of Fred King, Member of Parliament. During this time she made distinguished contribution as president of the Parliamentary Spouses’ Organization. Audrey and Fred returned to Kaleden in 1988. They built a retirement home overlooking Skaha Lake and became involved again in community and church. Their home gave them great joy as an entertainment centre for family and friends. Audrey defined her life by love of God, family, and friends. She enjoyed parties with good food and joyful people. She always had an eye for individuals who needed special care and reached out in practical ways. She nurtured, supported and encouraged us all. Her departure is mourned by her husband of 65 years, three children, Gordon (Regine), Margot (Craig) and Cathie (Randy), eight grandchildren (Tara, Lucas, Tasha, Trione, Joshua, Jordan, Mack, and Riley) and eight great grandchildren. She is survived by a sister, Helen Atkins, in Vancouver. Details of the Memorial Service to be announced at a later date. The family wishes to express sincere thanks to the nurses and doctors that devotedly cared for Audrey over the past weeks. Donations may be made in Audrey’s name to the South Okanagan Similkameen Hospital Foundation.
