LAKE PROMISES HOSPITAL EXPANSION Steve Kidd
Western News Staff
Minister of Health Terry Lake visited Penticton Tuesday, doing some damage control in the wake of earlier comments implying the South Okanagan shouldn’t expect to see a promised expansion to the Penticton Regional Hospital in this government term. “I fully expect within a couple of years, we’ll be getting this project underway,” said Lake. His earlier comments, he explained, were misunderstood. “What I meant to say was it wouldn’t be open in this term, it wouldn’t be finished,” said Lake. “I can understand how people took that comment and thought, ‘oh they are not going to get a shovel in the ground.’” Lake said he understands why his comments upset people in the region, after being
passed over several times. “There is nothing like a hospital to raise a lot of emotions in a community,” said Lake. “They are looking for the facility to be improved. I can understand people’s emotions.” Lake also regrets not being clearer he was referring to the total time it would take for construction. “I thought the question was, will it be open within the next four years. I said no, it’s going to take a little longer than that,” said Lake, explaining that the construction phase could take up to five years. Janice Perrino, hospital district chair, said Lake got a good look at conditions at PRH during his tour and why there is an urgent need to keep the project moving. “It was desperate. And he saw it, our emergency room was packed beyond belief, the hallways were packed with equipment, it was
just unbelievable,” said Perrino. Lake also saw the effects of a recent flood, elevator repairs and other problems. “The list goes on and on and he saw that. Every available inch of this hospital is used and it needs to be expanded,” said Perrino. Lake commended the staff for working through less than ideal conditions. “They are a remarkable team there, they are doing a fantastic job under some trying conditions, given the physical plant and the age and the space they are working in,” said Lake. “They are an amazing group of people with really good outcomes, so they are to be commended.” According to Perrino, PRH regularly operates at 110 per cent of capacity, having been built in the 1950s for a population of 10,000 and now serving 90,000.

“We are under stress all the time,” said Perrino. “He saw that.” Lake said there is no fixed date for the start of construction, but the business plan is expected to be completed early next year, and then the project will move on to the Treasury Board for approval. “It has to go through that whole process,” said Lake. “It’s not like building a house or a hotel even, it’s pretty complex stuff with all the different kind of systems that are needed and all the equipment.” Lake reaffirmed the Liberal government’s commitment to the project. “We will be well underway certainly by the time this term is done. It is a commitment the premier has made, it’s a commitment I have made.” said Lake. “People in Penticton should know they are getting a new patient care tower for sure.”

Downtown traffic won’t be changing direction anytime soon. With one lone holdout, council decided this week to keep the current one-way traffic flow on Main and Martin Streets as the city ramps up its downtown revitalization project. Based on a report by Urban Systems, city staff had brought forward two options, both of which included removing one lane of traffic to allow for wider, more pedestrian friendly sidewalks and some realignment of the streets. The projected cost for staying with the same traffic flow is $424,600, while switching to two-way traffic would cost between $2 to 2.7 million. “I would love to make it two-way,” said deputy mayor Helena Konanz. “With the almost $3-million ticket, it’s just not worth the cost.” Coun. John Vassilaki was the only proponent of the more expensive twoway option, supporting the idea that slowing traffic down would increase visibility of businesses. “I haven’t been as convinced as
wholeheartedly as my other councillors have been by staff,” said Vassilaki. “If people sitting around this table were here at the time it was a two-way street, they would have a completely different view of what downtown could look like.” Coun. Andrew Jakubeit wasn’t so sure Penticton could turn the calendar back to 1980. “We can’t live in the past when the highway went through here and this was the Fort Lauderdale of the world. Things have changed and we have to deal with what limited funds we have,” said Jakubeit, adding that the lower cost option would speed the adoption of the project. “If we keep it at a more realistic budget so it moves forward and people see the benefits of it they are more apt to approve and condone it,” said Jakubeit. “I never bought into the argument that if it was two-way that people would slow down and you would have a chance to see the building.” With the decision made, city staff are preparing an implementation plan for consideration in the 2014 budget process.
Andrews decides to run for councillor Steve Kidd
Western News Staff
The nomination period for the Sept. 7 municipal by election closed Saturday, with one last candidate entering the councillor side of the race at the last minute. Kevin Andrews is no newcomer to Penticton’s political scene. The former school trustee has also run for city council in past elections, but said he isn’t put off by not managing to win a seat. “I don’t get discouraged. I believe that every person has the opportunity to attempt to make a difference in any way they can contribute,” said Andrews. “It tells the community and ourselves that we care.” Andrews waited to put his name in, he said, until he had considered whether he was sure he could make the commitment and manage his job and family. “There are a lot of things going and I wanted to make sure I had time to put my best into it,” said Andrews. “I work full time and have kids, so like many people I have a busy time of it.” While he doesn’t have a specific platform, Andrews sees himself as bringing different insights to council. “It’s nice to have a little new blood in there every now and again. I’ve been in the community a very long time, so I think I could certainly have some insight into what we might need here, what would make a difference here, how we can make things better for the people who are coming and the people
who want to stay,” said Andrews. Along with his experience on the school board, Andrews also has more than two decades of experience in the health field to draw on. He’s employed by Interior Health as volunteer coordinator for both Penticton Regional Hospital and Kelowna General Hospital. He agrees with the current city council that the PRH expansion is long overdue, but said that in dealing with higher levels of government, you have to go through their process. “I think the public, the people, need to take responsibility; to keep at it, to make sure they are persistent in their drive and reasonable in their expectations,” said Andrews. Andrews joins Pat Buchanan, Lynn Kelsey, Andre Martin and Kate Robinson in running for the councillor seat vacated by Garry Litke. Litke will be contending with Brian Henningson and Vic Powell in his quest for the mayor’s chair.

Apex view intact for now Joe Fries
Western News Staff
Property owners at Apex Mountain have won a stay of execution for a highly visible stand of trees that was scheduled for harvesting. The 21-hectare cutblock on Green Mountain, easily seen from the ski slopes on Apex, will be left alone while Sn’pink’tn Forestry, which had intended to log there, re-evaluates its plan. That was one of the concessions contained in a five-party memorandum of understanding signed in late July and requested by the Apex Property Owners Association, which was concerned about visual and environmental impacts of logging in the area. “It’s very positive progress. We’re very pleased with how Sn’pink’tn has stepped up,” said Jeff Brown, who chaired a committee formed by the property owners to press for the halt to logging activity. “It was good to get everybody at the table and all talking
the same language” Sn’pink’tn, which is owned by the Penticton Indian Band, has a licence to harvest timber that’s been affected by pine beetles. The first part of the block on Green Mountain was clearcut last summer to preserve what value was left in the trees there. The company had planned to finish off the final 21 hectares this summer, but agreed in June to a 30-day moratorium, which preceded the MOU, partly in response to property owners’ concerns. Sn’pink’tn didn’t return a call for comment, but the MOU states the company was planning modifications to its plan for the cutblock “because of changing dynamics of managing the mountain pine beetle epidemic within the area including the reduction in beetle activity recognized in the fall of 2012.” The region is covered by the Okanagan-Shuswap Land and Resource Management Plan, which suggests visual quality objectives be kept in mind
it’s very positive progress. We’re very pleased with how Sn’pink’tn has stepped up — Jeff Brown
while planning any resource extraction in recreational areas such as Apex. Those objectives for the original cutblock “were exceeded to address active beetle attack conditions at the time of the cutting permit approval,” according to the MOU. It goes on to note that Sn’pink’tn will “review harvest
options” for the remainder of the block, and “the parties accept the outcome is not likely to propose zero or the full 21 hectares be harvested.” The agreement also sets out the company’s commitment to consult with property owners on future logging plans in the area, and notes the desire for all parties to get together in the fall to discuss wildfire management. Other parties to the MOU are forest companies Weyerhaeuser and Gorman Bros., plus the B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. Tom Siddon, who represents the Apex area as a director for the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen, praised the groups involved. “It was good to see that all of the parties have given their support to this interim process that follows the 30-day suspension,” he said. Siddon said the MOU sets out a “clear procedure for full public involvement in any decision about further logging.”

crash north of osoyoos claims three lives Three people are dead after vehicles collided on Highway 97 just north of Osoyoos on Tuesday. RCMP said early on Tuesday afternoon a 1994 Dodge Caravan, approximately three and a half kilometres north of Osoyoos, crossed the centre line and collided head on with a 2013 Hyundai Sante Fe. Sgt. Harold Hallett said the lone occupant of the Caravan, 63-yearold Judy Jackson, was deceased at the scene, as well as 60-year-old Diane Lee, who was a
passenger in the Hyundai. The adult male driver of the Hyundai, 78-yearold Bernard Lee, was initially listed as in critical condition but later died at the South Okanagan General Hospital in Oliver. RCMP said the investigation is ongoing as to why the Dodge crossed the centre line. “The highway at that location is undivided, one lane northbound and one lane southbound,” said Hallett “Alcohol and speed are not believed to be factors.”
Pressure-treated timber dumped in Similkameen River Steve Kidd
Western News Staff
Officials from the Ministry of the Environment are investigating an incident that resulted in treated wood being dumped into the Similkameen River at the White Bridge. Argo Road Maintenance crews are resurfacing the bridge, and were letting the old wood fall into the river, according to Keremeos resident Bill Duff, who first spotted the problem on July 29. “My wife and I do quite a bit of walking along that dike. We noticed all these great big blocks of old wood from them working on that bridge. What they were doing was just cutting it off and letting it fall into the river,” said Duff. “It’s pressure-treated and that stuff kills fish. They’ve been working on the thing since July 8, so who knows how long they’ve been dropping wood in the water.” Duff filed a complaint with the conservation service, which attended the scene. Shortly after, Argo crews started cleaning up, according to Duff.
“Since then, they have done a bit of cleanup on the river, but there is still a ton of it along the shoreline all the way up,” said Duff, who admitted the crew did quite a bit of work cleaning up the first gravel bar below the bridge. “That was covered. We counted some 30-odd pieces of lumber, and it’s not just lumber, it’s got huge big spikes sticking out of it and the big timber bolts, with washers and everything holding the wood together,” said Duff. “Some of the pieces are four to five feet in length and they are all eight by eight or 10 by 10 timbers.” Conservation officer Bob Hamilton said he is still investigating the incident, but said there is cause for concern about the wood that was dropped into the river “I’m not a technician for waste management, but depending on what sort of treated wood it is, it’s definitely toxic,” said Hamilton. “It’s not something that can be introduced to fish-bearing streams. The dilution effect there is pretty major, but still, it is a toxic product.” Hamilton said he hasn’t decided
what charges will be required yet. “The question is, is this a small quantity, a large quantity, is it something through negligence or is it accidental?” said Hamilton. “Given the quantity we are looking at, the best we can say is negligence there, but we are looking into it and I can’t go into details.” Hamilton said there are two possible offences; under the Environmental Management Act for discharged business waste and a more serious offence under the Federal Fisheries Act for depositing a deleterious substance in a fish-bearing stream. “It could go either way on that,” said Hamilton, adding that the Similkameen flows into the Okanagan River, which contains salmon as well as having its own fishery. “But in the Similkameen, there is a population of whitefish and trout. “It’s not the best fishery we have around but there are places, little fishing holes that people know about. “It’s definitely a fish-bearing stream.” Argo Road Maintenance could not be contacted by press time.

Child pornography trial back in court Kristi Patton
Western News Staff
A Penticton man was distributing child pornography through Yahoo! Messenger, alleged Crown counsel during trial on Wednesday. Mark Henry Snowden is charged with importing or distributing, possession of and accessing child pornography. His trial resumed this week, a continuation from June, with key testimony heard from a computer forensic expert. Evidence already presented by Crown was that on Feb. 3, 2012, a search
warrant was executed on Weyburn Street where RCMP seized a computer in a makeshift basement bedroom that Snowden rented. RCMP testified that the San Jose, Calif. police department was conducting its own investigation into child pornography, and obtained an email address that was handed over to the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children. The email address was believed to originate in B.C. so it was forwarded on to the Integrated Child Exploitation unit in Vancouver. This is the division responsible for
identifying and assisting child victims of sexual abuse, monitoring and prosecuting child pornography distributors and viewers. Crown witnesses testified it was determined through the IP address that the email account belonged to Snowden. In a video recorded statement to RCMP, which was deemed admissible by Judge Gregory Korturbash, Snowden said he was not computer savvy. He said he was suffering from depression and later said “looking at that stuff, it was a curiosity.” Forensic analyst Vello Kleeband took the
stand on Wednesday for the Crown stating he used special software to scour the computer for common search terms used for child pornography. He found over 100 images and 23 videos that he believed “met the definition of child pornography,” and that was without searching any deeper. “Different nude pre-pubescent females,” said Kleeband who then went into further detail of what the photos showed. Kleeband said he also found many photos of adult female porn and pre-pubescent females that were scantily clad or in provocative
positions but they did not meet the current definition of child pornography. The computer analyst said he also took a sampling of videos and came up with the names of girls that are commonly found in investigations of this type. Kleeband explained the steps he took to find evidence that Yahoo! Messenger was being used to share files or photos under two or three email addresses that were most commonly used on the computer. He also discovered that the most recently used file in Windows Media Player was dated

The officer said the photos would start off like the photographer was taking a picture of a car and the female would be in the background, but then subsequent pictures would just be of the female. “They were of a variety of ages, from children to adults on the beach,” said Const. Chad Parsons. “Some in bikinis and some just clothing. “The subjects wouldn’t have known the pictures were being taken. It just doesn’t appear that they know someone is taking their photo.” Closing arguments are slated for Sept. 3.

Jan. 11, 2012 and the account “Markus” viewed a file with an explicit file name related to a five-year-old person. In June, RCMP officers, who served the search warrant on Snowden’s residence, testified they found bills near where the computer was seized with Snowden’s name on them and found pictures of him in the bedroom. One officer said, during an initial search of the computer before it was sent to the analyst, they found pictures that were taken of females, from a distance, at the beach in their bikinis.

REDPLUM® IS NOT DISTRIBUTED IN ALL AREAS
Public pressure to outlaw vacation rentals prompted the regional district to propose special treatment for three neighbourhoods on the east side of Skaha Lake, but one resident doesn’t think the measure goes far enough. Vacation rentals would be “generally discouraged” in Heritage Hills, Lakeshore Highlands and Skaha Estates, according to a bylaw amendment given preliminary approval last week by the board of the Regional District of OkanaganSimilkameen. The amendment is part of a proposed overhaul of the Official Community Plan for Area D-2, which also includes Okanagan Falls. Deborah Shields, who’s been
leading the fight against vacation rentals in Heritage Hills, called it “a big step forward. “We’re halfway across the sidewalk, but we’re not at the other side,” she said. Shields wants an outright ban on vacation rentals, which she said are ruining the character of her neighbourhood and disrupting her home life. She and another Heritage Hills resident, Lise Maurier, organized community opposition. As of this week they had collected 110 signatures on a petition in support of their cause. “It reinforces the point that our community wants to retain our zoning,” Shields said. The petition will be presented to Tom Siddon, the RDOS director for the area, at a public hearing next week on the proposed OCP amendments. Siddon said he has already
heard the “public outcry” and asked RDOS staff to add the phrase “generally discouraged” into the bylaw as a “means of providing a disincentive to people who might have applied to build further vacation rentals.” “I think we have to respect the wishes of people who buy into a single-family neighbourhood,” he said. As proposed, rentals would be regulated through a new requirement for owners to have a temporary-use permit issued by the RDOS board. Before granting such a permit, the board would take into account community concerns and other factors. Shields said she’s pleased Siddon has listened to her concerns and taken action, but hopes he can find a way to strengthen the language in the proposed OCP amendment.

The Lower SimiLkameen indian Band held a groundbreaking ceremony for their new 2,695 square metre multipurpose building that will house not only their administration, but also a health unit, gymanasium and other facilities.

Western News Staff
It’s been two decades in the making, but a new multipurpose building for the Lower Similkameen Indian Band is on the verge of becoming a reality. When it is complete, the 2,695 square metre building will house not only the band’s administration offices and departments, but a range of other facilities to serve the community. “It will have a full health facility, including physicians’ offices and clinical rooms,” said Jade Jagar, speaking for the band. “We’re going to have our own meeting facilities, we are going to have four boardrooms in there as well as an elder’s room and a traditional gathering room and a full size gymnasium with a commercial kitchen, so we will be able to host sporting events.” Herman Edward, with support from Tiana and Les Louis, delivered the prayers and blessing at a ground breaking ceremony July 31 at the building site, about 13 kilometres south of Keremeos across from the current band school. The groundbreaking was well attended by delegates from the community and LSIB partners including Tri-City Canada Inc. (general contractor), Health Canada, the Village of Keremeos, Bank of Montreal, David Nairne and Associates, Fortis BC Inc., Chase Office Interiors, Ricoh Canada as well as honored guests and elders. Chief Rob Edward and band manager Lisa Montgomery-Reid welcomed the attendees and provided the history of the long path that has been travelled to bring this building and the services it will offer to the community. The large building will be a landmark on the band lands, with a design based on traditional structure and incorporating natural materials and tones. “The primary part of the building is a crossed pole design, which is reflective of a traditional meeting place for us,” said Jagar, adding that they are hoping to have artists from the native community doing the stones in the floor and the traditional place names designs in the foundations. “We are really looking forward to it being a key focus for our community. It’s going to be something we can be proud of, that our youth can be very proud of carrying on into the future,” said Jagar. “It’s going to be our symbol finally, for our band.”

opinion
Second is good, but not enough A recent study, prepared by B.C. Stats, shows what many Summerlanders have known for years: This is a good place in which to live. The study examined several socio-economic factors and placed Summerland in second place out of nearly 80 B.C. communities, just behind West Vancouver. Factors including health, education and the crime rate were examined. Put simply, when it comes to quality of life, Summerland excels. We do not have the problems of poverty, crime, health problems and education concerns to the same degree as in some other B.C. communities. While the figures are impressive, it is important to remember that this report does not tell the full story. The report examines each community’s rankings, but not the reasons why a specific community has done well or poorly. Also, while the factors which enhance the quality of life in Summerland are good, our economy does not show the same strength. Many businesses, especially in the downtown area, face ongoing struggles. Some have closed their doors. Housing is expensive and jobs are scarce. Without a robust business sector and the revenue it generates, Summerland will have an increasingly difficult time keeping up with the costs of maintaining the community. Eventually, unless the economy improves, it will take a toll on the quality of life factors. Summerland’s ranking in this study can work effectivelyWESTERN to help market the community. PENTICTON Efforts are already being made to use lifestyle as a way to attract individuals and businesses to Summerland. At the same time, a stronger economy is needed if Summerland is to have a good quality of life in the years to come. - Black Press

The World’s Most Important Hamburger The most important hamburger in the history of the world was cooked (but only half-eaten) in London on Monday. It was grown in a lab, not cut from a cow, and it tasted – well, not quite good enough to fool the experts, but then they forgot the ketchup, mustard, cheese, onion, bacon, tomato and lettuce. Not to mention the fries. “I miss the fat, there’s a leanness to it,” said food writer Josh Schonwald. “But the general bite feels like a hamburger.” Austrian food critic Hanni Ruetzler agreed: “It’s not that juicy, but the consistency is perfect. This is meat to me. It’s not falling apart; it’s really something to bite on.” Even in a blind tasting, she added, she would say that it was real meat and not a soya copy. Of course she would. It was real meat, grown from a cow’s stem cells just like the flesh of its own body. It tasted lean because the stem cells the experimenters used were only programmed to make muscle tissue, not fat. (They’re working on that). The real test was whether tens of billions of lab-grown muscle cells could be organised into something with the consistency of proper meat, not mush, and the lab-burger passed that test with flying colours. But why would anybody
Gwynne Dyer
Dyer Straits want to pass that test? What’s wrong with just eating cows – and sheep and pigs and chickens? Far beyond the objections of vegetarians and animal-rights activists, what’s wrong with eating “natural” meat is that there are too many of us, eating too much of it, and we’re running out of land to grow it on. “Right now, we are using 70 per cent of all our agricultural capacity to grow meat through livestock,” Professor Mark Post, the lead researcher, told The Independent at a conference in Vancouver last year. “You are going to need alternatives. If we don’t do anything, meat will become a luxury food and will become very expensive.” “Livestock also contributes a lot to greenhouse gas emissions, more so than our entire
transport system,” explained Post, a medical physiologist at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. “Livestock produces 39 per cent of global methane, 5 per cent of the CO2 and 40 per cent of the nitrous oxide. Eventually, we will have an eco-tax on meat.” On meat raised in the open air, that is. Whereas meat grown in the lab is a potentially inexhaustible resource, and it does far less environmental damage. According to an Oxford University study published in 2011, a tonne of cultured beef would require 99 per cent less land and between 82 and 96 per cent less water than its natural rival, and would produce between 78 and 95 per cent less greenhouse gas. It would also use 45 per cent less energy. These are seriously impressive numbers. If Post’s process can scale up successfully, then in 10 or 20 years we could be producing enough meat for a growing global population even though many people are eating more meat per capita as their incomes rise. Moreover, we would be able to turn most of that 70 per cent of agricultural land back into forest and prairie, or switch it to growing grain for human consumption.
“There are basically three things that can happen going forward,” said Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who bankrolled Post’s research. “One is that we can all become vegetarian. I don’t think that’s really likely. The second is we ignore the issues, and that leads to continued environmental harm. The third option is we do something new.” So let’s assume that you can produce this beef in industrial quantities, complete with fat cells so that it tastes just like the meat that comes from the slaughterhouse. Could you get people to buy it? No problem. Just price it about 20 per cent cheaper than the real thing. Those of us who are keeping up with the Joneses will buy the premium product; the rest of us will buy the one that’s just as good but costs less. Oh, and why didn’t they eat the whole hamburger on Monday? Because there was no way that you could share out what was left equally between so many journalists, and they sometimes get quite nasty if they’re thwarted. So Mark Post said he’d take it home to his children. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Chemtrails are a fact, not an opinion After a tabloid-style headline, “Websites reveal the shocking truth about chemtrails,” the editor added a note to the tail end, saying: the above are opinions and not necessarily facts. This is as curious as it is spurious. Does Joe Schwarz’s doggy do-do complaint not require the same full-disclosure? Fortis flaunts the Charter, says Mr. Robertson. B.C. could become like Detroit, says Mr. Thomsen. Not facts. Mere opinions. And yet, only a fool would ignore Suzie Anderson’s wellwritten letter regarding chemtrails. There was much important info. She was clear and concise; her citations thorough. She was candid with her personal realizations. She posed important questions that should be openly dis-
Candidate thanks all
Thank you to the City of Penticton for supporting me this year as I run my 2013 campaign as a British Columbia Ambassador Candidate representing Penticton. It has been my pleasure volunteering at numerous community events. Penticton is such a beautiful city with wonderful residents. I am very happy to call Penticton home for 19 years and to be representing Penticton in the B.C. Ambassador Pageant is an honor. I would like to express my abundant thanks and appreciation not only to my sponsor Gold Dust Jewellers, Peter Ord, the manager of the Penticton Museum, Geraldine Shockey, the Royal Canadian Legion, Jo Sommerfeld, and Jeanette from The Dragon’s Den, but also to my mom and dad and the citizens of Penticton. Thank you for supporting me at every fundraiser and for voting for me for the People’s Choice Ambassador at www.bcambassador. com. You can still vote daily until Aug.17. The B.C. Ambassador Pageant is on Aug. 16 and 17 in Merritt where I will be performing my speech, community speech, talent, and presenting my community table about Penticton. Wish me the best Penticton, and thanks again for your continuous support. Camelia Vokey B.C. Ambassador Candidate 2013

Some days, I have seen the sky and been so shocked, I’ve stopped strangers in the street, pointing to the long, white lines, back and forth, as they spread across our big, blue Okanagan sky that soon becomes milky and pale. What the heck? Surely, something wicked this way falls! It’s obvious if you look up once in a while. Too many people are looking down these days, too busy fingering their phones to see. Then, there are people like Paul (get-a-life) Crossley; foolish people who seem to believe the government loves us and
message that the people of British Columbia will not sit by quietly while FortisBC continues to cause excessive financial hardship by continually increasing our electricity rates, that the two-tier system is ludicrous and people are angered with Smart Meters being rammed down our throats. In a letter addressed to the above mentioned? it is made clear that a response is expected within 30 business days. It is further stated that the replies will be published out of respect for the hundreds of voices to know that you have answered their call? Stay tuned folks. There is a feeling that this issue is not yet resolved. Once again, thank you everyone. Kelly Wheeler Oliver
Decriminalizing pot is right stance
(re: Legalize pot, save health care, Western News, July 31) Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is to be commended for coming out strong against marijuana prohibition. There is a big difference between condoning marijuana use and protecting children from drugs. Decriminalization acknowledges the social reality of marijuana and spares users criminal records. What’s really needed is a regulated market with enforceable age controls. Separating the hard and soft drug markets is critical. As long as organized crime controls marijuana distribution, consumers will come into contact with sellers of hard drugs like cocaine, meth and heroin. Marijuana prohibition is a gateway drug policy. It makes no sense to waste tax dollars on failed marijuana policies that finance organized crime and facilitate the use of hard drugs. Regulating marijuana sales may send the wrong message to children, but I like to think

would never, ever do us any harm. They often get a government cheque, however. So, in spite of much evidence, they’ll hope the government wouldn’t allow the spraying of us with stuff that will make us dumb as animals, or the chipping away at our charter rights, or the leading us into financial ruin, etc. As with your dog: if you point to a chemtrail, your dog will look at your finger, not at the chemtrail. Same with dumb people. So, thank you, Suzie Anderson, on behalf of many I‘m sure. It’s good to hear the truth well told. You’re awake, you have heart, and you write like a pro. In my opinion.

Horses not being abused
(re: Horse carriage rides a nuisance, Western News, Aug. 2) I have some answers for December. The deal with having horse drawn carriages along Lakeshore Drive is simple, people enjoy it. It doesn’t take a genius to figure that out and the City of Penticton approved it. Your use of words, like forced and animal abuse, insulting and not based on any facts. The SPCA have been to the site and checked out the horses. In their words they aren’t even breaking a lather. The whole operation was looked at and given a clean bill of health. Here we have something that brings joy to the faces of children and tourists alike. The longest rides are 40 minutes then they rest. Great job if you can get it. After each ride the horse is hosed down and rubbed. They have custom made shoes made for that horse. I felt compelled to say something on this matter because your letter has been in other newspapers. These are draft horses, they were meant to pull. Those so called heavy loads, what? That would be like me pulling a little red wagon down the street. I for one, along with many more, will enjoy having the horses in Penticton. We are lucky to have them. Negativity, that’s what I see when I read your letter. Penticton is a wonderful place and now it’s even more wonderful thanks to Penticton Carriage Rides. I found that letter offensive. Not just to the owner of the rides but to the
people of Penticton. I for one have looked into this matter and have found nothing wrong. They are getting exercise and fresh air and doing what they actually enjoy doing, pulling. The girl is trying to make a living so she can continue to care and feed the horses. Abuse, I think not. I have seen abused horses and been on a few rescues. These horses are not being abused, period. Linda Lou Ross Keremeos

SEATTLE SCHOOLS All City Band will return for the biggest parade in the B.C. Interior this weekend at the 66th annual Penticton Peach Festival Grand Parade sponsored by Peters Bros. File Photo
Peachfest parades cap off week of fun Kristi Patton
Western News Staff
There is something about a parade and in Penticton, the Peach Festival has the largest in the B.C. Interior. “There are about 75 entries this year,” said Teresa Kendall, one of the directors for the Penticton Peach Festival. “We definitely get a lot of people that love entering and come back again and again. We have the Seattle All-City Marching Band playing here four of the last five years and there are over 100 members in the band.” Besides five marching bands, there will also be floats that are coming from all over B.C. and Washington State to participate in Saturday’s parade sponsored by Peters Bros. “With the economy, it is really tough to get people to travel, but I think this is just such a nice place to come to and such a great festival people love to come here,” said Kendall. The Peachfest float has been redesigned and will have the new Miss Penticton royalty riding on it after being crowned the evening before. The parade begins at 10 a.m. at Main Street and Eckhardt Avenue and proceeds north on Main Street, along Lakeshore Drive to the S.S. Sicamous and disbands at the Rose Garden car lot. Parking is not permitted anywhere along the parade route. Vehicles on the parade route will be towed if found on it to the closest municipal parking lot. The Penticton Elks Club is hosting a pancake breakfast to feed hundreds at the Elks Hall on Ellis Street between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m. The parade will be about an hour and a half so organizers
advise to bringing something comfortable to sit on, sunscreen, a hat and find a spot to enjoy it all. “It is going to be hot day so be prepared for that and try to think about parking and how you will get to the parade beforehand. The Farmers Market will be still going on but one street over. The best thing to do is park further away and walk in because so many roads will be blocked off,” said Kendall. Parade-goers are also asked to bring non-perishable items which will be donated to the Salvation Army food bank and Feed The Valley. Sun FM Summer Heat Seeker 91 Camaro and the Penticton Fire Fighters are collecting along the parade route. On Sunday children have their chance to march in their very own parade. The Kiddies Day Parade is sponsored by the Downtown Penticton Association and invites children ages 12 and under to dress themselves up, bring their tricycles, bicycles or any manner of non-motorized transportation. Judging takes place at 10 a.m. in the City Centre parking lot, then at 11:30 a.m. a City of Penticton fire truck will lead the parade north on Main Street, east on Lakeshore Drive and into Okanagan Lake Park through the Centennial Plaza entrance. Prizes are awarded for several categories from the main stage in Okanagan Lake Park directly after the parade. Entry forms are available from the Downtown Penticton Association office at 209-212 Main St., by phone at 250-493-8540 or at www.peachfest. com.

anyway but I never expected to win because all the girls are so beautiful,” said a surprised Judd after. “I didn’t think we were allowed to (get on the table) but I asked them and they said okay and so I just decided to go ahead and do it and this is what happened.” She finished ahead of Candice Guillet of Summerland and Melissa McCann of Penticton. “The reason I did it was to have fun, just a good time,” said the winner, who works out regularly and enjoys paddle boarding and sun-

shine. “I don’t think there is anything bad about it, we’re all having fun and Miss Bikini, Mr. Muscle is a good time.” The annual Mr. Muscle and Miss Bikini contest raises money for the Junior Chamber International Summer Day Camps for Kids, a program operated through the Penticton community centre. Over on the men’s side, it was Oliver Myatovic from Peachland claiming the Mr. Muscle crown, edging out runners-up Jared Kuzik (Richmond) and Chandler McCuthan (Penticton). The men’s winner was also a late entry and didn’t even plan to enter the event. “I was actually supposed to go to another festival in Kelowna and me and my girlfriend decided to sell our tickets at the last minute and came,” said Myatovic who is a pipe fitter by trade. “We showed up and a couple of guys flagged me down and said I should enter, so I did. I was just sort of winging it.” Both winners say they expect to be back again next year to defend their titles.
One of those cheering the loudest on the crowded beach was 74-year-old Jean Turner. “I’m cheering for Sarah Turner, the Honduran Princess, she’s my granddaughter,” shouted Jean with sign in hand. “I think this is wonderful and I’m enjoying every part of it. “I would have liked the wet T-shirt contest but my grandkids wouldn’t let me in to see it. They told me no and to behave myself.” What did she like best about the event? “The muscle men, of course. I just love them.”

Beach battle features local fighter Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff
Barefoot Beach Resort in Penticton will be the home of Canada’s first outdoor professional mixed martial arts event. Five Star Fight League president Justin Donally said the Barefoot Beach Battle received permission for the professional card from the Penticton Athletics Commission, which began sanctioning events in 2008. The amateur side was approved just a week ago. Donally spent the long weekend getting the paperwork completed. Five Star Athletics Inc., based in Fort St. John wanted to push the amateurs through, especially with having three Penticton fighters on the card. In the future, Donally said it’s likely that PAC and the B.C. Athletic Commission will work together. The action hits the mat at 7 p.m. today across from Skaha Lake. There will be six professional bouts, the main event giving locals someone to cheer for as Penticton’s Clay Davidson takes on Surreys Kalib Starnes. Three amateur fights include Penticton’s Mitch Burke who faces Paul Alec Jr. of Prince George, Ty Edenoste, who has

resided in Penticton and Kelowna, goes against Josh Heinz of Lethbridge, and Penticton’s Jesse Sayers takes on Doug Westbrook of Lethbridge. Davidson, who is going into the fight with an 8-5 record, said he’s in the best shape of his life. “Just fought three weeks ago and I felt like I got really pushed in that fight,” said Davidson, excited to be in the main
event. “It really helped me prepare for this one. I’m really excited to be fighting in my hometown, especially on the beach.” In Starnes, Davidson faces the Ultimate Fighter semifinalist with a record of 14 wins: nine by submission and eight losses. Starnes has won his last two Ultimate Fighting Championship matches,
defeating David Perron May 19 and Tim Hague on July 5. “I’m honoured to be fighting Kalib Starnes, he’s basically a hero to me,” said Davidson, a Canadian gold-medal winner in the 2011 FILA Grappling World Championships in Belgrade. “I’m one of those weird guys who wants to smash my heroes. I expect to put on a really good show.”
Davidson, who has been fighting professionally for seven years, said Starnes is a good boxer and he has to watch for that. “I’m just going in there looking to beat him any way possible,” said Davidson, who considers himself an aggressive grinder. Donally loves the pro bouts on the card and said the main event has
generated talk. “It’s considered the best matchup of the summer in all of Canada,” said Donally, who loves the location of their event. “As for the next two fights, we have Matt Baker (Kamloops) coming down. He is very popular in the area. Ryan Chiappe is from Vancouver, another talked about B.C veteran.” Jason Cox, chair of
PAC, thinks this event will be great. “It’s very unique,” said Cox, who added this will be the final event PAC sanctions. “These are guys trying to get to the next level.” Cox added that Penticton is becoming a key stop and destination for MMA events as they have also hosted Battlefield Fight League at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre. “They draw, like any niche sport, with a set of fans,” said Cox. Typically Five Star Fight League events sell between 800 to 1,200 tickets. Having rented the entire resort, Donally said max capacity is 1,500, but he expects the numbers to be closer to their usual draw. “We always try to pre-sell our dinner tables and the fighters move a few tickets,” he said. “You sell a few online. Nobody really gets them until the last few days up to the fight.” Tickets are available at Barefoot Beach Resort, Big Dakez Rental Hut and Beachwear, Best Damn Sports Bar, Fit City Supplements and 30 Minute Hit until 4 p.m. today. After that, they can be purchased at the door.
Steve King nodding along with charity knock-off Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff
Steve King is getting a chuckle out of his bobblehead doll. “It’s getting a lot of laughs. That’s what’s important,” said King, the Penticton triathlon announcer for Subaru Ironman Canada, which changed to Challenge Penticton and Ultraman Canada. “My wife can slap me around now without getting too concerned.” The bobblehead doll is the brainchild of Steve Brown, race director for Ultraman Canada, and Challenge Penticton’s Bruce Schoenne. Brown said he and Schoenne were sitting around talking about things they could do to raise money for charities. Then the bobblehead idea was
thrown in. “What would you put on it?” said Brown, adding that’s when King’s name came up. “I was blown away at first when they asked if I’d be willing to make an image and I couldn’t stop laughing,” said King. “I honestly thought it was a joke.” Realizing they were serious and learning that part of the funds will go to support charities supported by the races where the bobblehead will be sold made King keen on it. “I was flabbergasted,” said King, who was honoured to be given the first one. “My wife thinks it looks like me and that’s a little scary. This plastic thing looking at you nodding away.”
My wife can slap me around now without getting too concerned. — Steve King
The doll is wearing a Challenge Penticton shirt, which King said is nice because he wants to promote the event. Asked if he feels like a celebrity, King laughed and said “maybe infamous.” Brown said the bobblehead has become popular and guesses between 75 and 100 have been sold. During
the awards ceremony for Ultraman Canada on Tuesday evening, Brown said several people had King sign their dolls. “People love them,” said Brown, adding they have had people request to not sell them all before Challenge Penticton on Aug. 25. King said the motorcycle driver for Ultraman Canada had the bobble head on the back of the bike as he passed the athletes. “I was saying if it nods forward, it means you are looking good,” said King, whose doll is available for purchase at Peach City Runners and Adventure Sports. “If it’s nodding side to side, it means you are having a rough time right now.”
STEVE KING, announcer for Ultraman Canada and Challenge Penticton, has enjoyed the response that has come from his bobblehead toy created to raise money for charity. Emanuel Sequeira/Western News

RICO PATROCINIO of the Penticton Pinnacles under-21 men’s team gets some air during a Pacific Coast Soccer League Reserve Division regular season game. Patrocinio joined the team after playing in Mexico. Mark Brett/Western News
Player develops skill in Mexico Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff
Two years of playing soccer in Mexico has made Rico Patrocinio a smarter player. The 19-year-old South Okanagan Youth Soccer Association product left home in 2011 to join the Estudiantes Tecos under-16 youth team in Guadalajara. Patrocinio returned to Penticton after completing a season with division two Club America and will go back Aug. 20 to play for the division three team. In the time Patrocinio has been away, he has won two championships in Mexico and lost two. Pretty good seasons he said. “It’s very competitive. It’s not quite as rough as here,” said Patrocinio, who rejoined the Penticton Pinnacles under-21 men’s team in time to help them win the Pacific Coast Soccer League Reserve Division Challenge Cup in late July. “More skillful. It’s different than here. There is more skill involved and there is not so much roughness and speed. It has different virtues. I like that.” More mature now, Patrocinio said he looks to just keep improving. His goal is to net a university scholarship in Canada at the University of British Columbia or stay in Guadalajara. Right now he has three to four teams interested. Patrocinio hasn’t just gained on the field. Away from it, he’s learned a new language and made new friends.
“I have a whole new culture,” said Patrocinio, who misses Penticton. “I wasn’t into it the first year. I was trying to fit in. Feel like I was wanted.” While in Penticton, Patrocinio was embraced by the Pinnacles coaches and players. Coach Paulo Araujo said Patrocinio brought speed and skill to the club. “He’s a guy that can hold the ball out on the wing,” said Araujo during the Pinnacles season, adding that he brought a possession game, especially in the attacking zone. Normally a centre mid, Patrocinio was asked to play as a right back to fill a Pinnacles need. Patrocinio, who scored two goals in his seven games, said he played well even after starting the new position. As a right back, he enjoyed more space, but also said it was tiring at times to run up and down the line. “I enjoyed coming back and playing for the team,” he said, adding it was exciting to help the men’s team win its first ever championship. “I’ve wanted to do this since I have lived here. It was good to come back and actually win something.” Days after the championship win, Patrocinio still couldn’t believe they had done it. “It still really hasn’t sunk in yet,” he said, wearing the medal during the Pinnacles championship ceremony at the Penticton Soccer Club.

He earned a silver medal with Team Canada West during the 2012 World Junior A Challenge in Yarmouth, N.S. and was named to the MJHL’s all-rookie team in 2012 after collecting 27 points in 54 games.

Clara Schirrmeister in Vernon. “Apparently a lot of people are saying that I’m a pretty strong paddler,” said Beglaw. “A lot of it probably comes from the sports I have already done.” Schirrmeister is excited about Vernon for the opportunity to compete against other juniors, since the Penticton crew has mostly faced adults. “It’s good to meet people from other clubs rather than being in
Noah Beglaw our own environment,” she said. “Learn from others. People always have a different way to do their stroke.” Coach Tina Hoeben wants to see the crew have their best performance, but added they never know what other crews are like. “I think our crew has a fair shot at winning,” she said. “I’m looking forward to seeing what they can do.” The team is coming off a
second-place result in the Gorge, which took place on the Columbia River between Washington and Oregon July 20. With five junior crew members, Hoeben, who was among the crew members, said they performed fabulous in big water conditions against adult paddlers. Overall, Hoeben is happy with the program and said they have had a positive influx of new members. They are expanding to the Olympic paddling sports, flat water, kayak and canoe. Currently the club has 70 members, 30 of which are juniors. Anyone interested in joining can contact Tina at thoeben@telus.net, or by phone at 250-486-4286. The PRCC is also having an introductory camp for other interested juniors (ages 11 and up) on Aug. 12 to 15 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. To sign up, contact Matthew Kosters at spkoster@shaw.ca or call 250-488-7126.
Thunder baseball squad exceeds expectations Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff
A 13-11 loss to Victoria halted the Penticton Foundry Thunder mosquito A team’s season. The loss left the Penticton team one game short of advancing to the semifinal round of the B.C. Minor Baseball provincial championship held in Cloverdale during the August long weekend. The Thunder finished the provincial championship with two wins and two losses. They opened with a 9-4 loss to Ladner, then beat Chilliwack 5-2. Thunder coach Iain MacIntyre called that a great win for his team. They also defeated Prince George 11-7 before losing the final game to Victoria. MacIntyre said his group played unbelievably well. “Way better than we expected,” he said. “Kids played in situations they weren’t used to and responded so well. Wins and losses doesn’t really matter. They came away with such a positive experience. It was fantastic to watch. They played well above
the expectations that we had for them.” During provincials there was a skills competition with all the players participating. While the Thunder didn’t do well in the running relay, they finished second in Around the Horn, which has the players throwing the ball to all the positions. Alan Woodhouse was third in the home run derby. In pitching accuracy, Luke MacIntyre won, while Dominic Delisle-Lavoie was second. MacIntyre praised the efforts of the Cloverdale host committee. “They made it seem like it was a really big deal,” he said. “Getting to provincials is a huge accomplishment. Great learning experience for them (the players).”
Peewee Thunder
Playing in Surrey for provincials during the August long weekend, the peewee Thunder won once and lost three times. They opened with a 17-7 loss to Burnaby, then a 15-0 loss to Cloverdale and 14-0 to Port Alberni. They rolled over Prince George 12-2.
