Investigators descended Monday on a quiet Oliver neighbourhood where a weekend bomb blast damaged a car and sent shrapnel through nearby garages. The blast went off early Sunday morning, although the incident wasn’t reported to police until a day later. The B.C. RCMP Explosive Disposal Unit was then called in to assist local investigators. Mounties said in a press release that an “improvised explosive device” appeared to have been placed under a vehicle that was parked behind a home on the 600 block of Earle Crescent. The car sustained “significant damage” to its rear wheels and undercarriage as a result of the blast. A chunk of metal from the explosion also “appeared to have been projected” through an exterior wall of a nearby garage in which it came to rest, the release added. A second garage in the area was hit with a piece of shrapnel that had “sufficient velocity so as to exit the other side.” “The damage appears to be consistent with an explosion of some significance going off under the vehicle,” said RCMP Sgt. Peter Thiessen. “The motive for this explosion and who may be responsible is not clear at his stage of the investigation.” Vanessa Lameiras, 18, lives beside the home where the explosion went off and said while she didn’t hear the blast, her mother awoke to a loud noise around 2 a.m. Sunday that she thought was thunder. Lameiras said she walked home from friend Aleesha Cooper’s nearby house about two hours before the incident and heard what sounded like a group of people near the bomb site. Cooper, also 18, said Mounties can-

vassed the neighbourhood Monday afternoon and asked is she’d seen the group of people Lameiras had reported. “They actually seemed very calm,” Cooper said of the local police who appeared at her door. Officers were still combing over the bomb site Tuesday. Cooper believes a woman and her grandson live at the home that appeared to have been targeted by the explosive device. Oliver Mayor Ron Hovanes described Earle Crescent as “a quiet residential neighbourhood” about two blocks from the town’s downtown core, and said he was shocked to learn of the incident, about which he’s been told very little. “I know as much as what’s in that press release,” Hovanes said. He noted it would be “really premature” to speculate about who might have been involved, although word of the blast spread quickly in the community. “I’m just glad (police) put out a press release because there’s been a lot of talk,” Hovanes said. “I’m very interested in the motive,” he added, and “I’m thrilled that no one got hurt.” In March 2012, a pipe bomb exploded in a newspaper box in downtown Summerland. The blast damaged a wall of the building closest to the explosion and deposited debris as much as 100 metres away. Summerland RCMP Sgt. Stephane Lacroix said the file is now closed because investigators didn’t have enough evidence to recommend charges. “We’re pretty confident about the individuals who we identified,” he said, “but couldn’t go forward.” Lacroix also said it’s too early to tell if there’s a link between the blast in Summerland and the more recent explosion in Oliver.

Structurlam nails down big contract Joe Fries

Western News Staff

B.C.’s tallest wood building will be made with pre-fabricated components assembled here in the South Okanagan. Structurlam Wood Products president Bill Downing said Tuesday his company was selected to supply the shell of the Wood Innovation and Design Centre in downtown Prince George. “That’s a secret, but not anymore,” he added. The company will provide structural components like beams and wall panels, and the first load of material is expected to be delivered to Prince George next month. Site work began this spring for the $25-million, six-storey

building that’s meant to showcase B.C.’s cutting-edge wood construction and design techniques. The cross-laminated timber products that will be used for wall and floor panels are already being assembled at Structurlam’s plant in Okanagan Falls. The facility just underwent a 930-square-metre expansion to house a new computercontrolled machine that can cut openings in the panels for windows and doors. Cross-laminated timber panels are made from lengths of two-by-six lumber that are finger-jointed and glued together to form slabs up to nine pieces thick. Steve Thomson, the minister of forests, lands and natural resource operations,

visited the Okanagan Falls plant Tuesday to see Structurlam’s expansion firsthand. “They’re such an important partner in the industry and doing great things here in terms of building and adding value for the sector, and continuing to build jobs and economic development here in the South Okanagan,” Thomson said. The minister said his government is trying to strike a balance between maintaining strong prices for lumber manufacturers’ output and keeping finished wood affordable for value-added companies like Structurlam that use it as an input. Structurlam has 150 employees across its operations in Penticton, Oliver and Okanagan Falls.

Penticton’s sister city program with Ikeda on ropes Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Lorna DaWkInS spends a quiet moment beside the pond at the local Japanese Gardens which has been a focal point in the Penticton-Ikeda (Japan) sister-city relationship over the years.

mark Brett/Western news

Penticton has the honour of having one of the oldest and most successful sister city relationships in Canada, but the long-lasting kinship with Ikeda, Japan, may be winding down. “The last two delegations, trips that we attempted to organize, would have been 2012 or 2013, but they were both cancelled because we couldn’t get enough people to sign up,” said Bob Harvey, treasurer for the PentictonIkeda Sister City Society. “It’s a shame that the interest seems to be dying a bit. But we’re getting older and there are the economic difficulties of the last few years, particularly in Japan.” Harvey authored a letter to Penticton city council on behalf of the society, asking if the city remains committed to the sister city agreement signed with Ikeda in 1977. “It is our perception that there is an apparent lack of interest in the program by Penticton city council,” the letter reads. “We are considering all options for the future of the sister city society and it is very important to us to determine city council’s position.” Without any successful Penticton-

Ikeda exchanges since 2011, when a delegation from Ikeda visited, Harvey said the society had also got a bit out of touch with the city. “That’s the main reason for sending the letter. We want to get them to recommit,” said Harvey. The society does not receive funding from Penticton; the visits are financed by society members, but the city does host a civic dinner for incoming delegations, pay travel costs to Japan for city council delegates as well as for occasional gifts to Ikeda. In addition to wanting to know if the city is still committed, the society wants to know if there is funding in the current budget to support the program and if a city councilor could be appointed to liaise with the society. Harvey said they have been hearing similar concerns from their counterparts in Ikeda. “The Japanese side has also cancelled a couple of trips, they have had similar problems,” said Harvey. “We’ve been involved for a very long time. It is hard to get new interest and younger people to join the society.” Lorna Dawkins, another society director, said their counterparts are also aging. And with economic problems all over the world, everyone is feeling financial pressures.

“I think it is the same on their side. It is a small town and they’re struggling. When we became sister cities in the ‘70s, we were pretty much the same size and there were so many similarities, it was really good,” said Dawkins. “But Penticton has more than doubled and they have shrunk by a third.” Like Penticton, Ikeda, a city in the Tokachi district of Hokkaido, sits in the middle of an agricultural area, with vineyards, wine production and similar landscapes. Those similarities helped forge the early relationship, which Harvey said has been of great benefit to both cities. “I believe the primary value is the cultural exchange we have,” said Harvey. “Over the years it has been a fantastic opportunity for many Penticton residents to travel to a small town in Japan and really meet Japanese people, see how they live and participate in some of their festivals.” Another result of the relationship was the creation of the city’s Japanese Gardens, behind the Penticton Art Gallery. Dawkins said they sometimes come as a surprise for people. “You see people go through and they are just so pleased to find it,” said Dawkins. “We get it on the maps and in the tourist books but locals still don’t know it’s there.”

Corry Place needs more than patches Planned upgrades worth $712K still five more years away Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

RecRuiting BiLLet FaMiLies

Okanagan Hockey Academy is beginning its 12th year of offering high quality athletic and academic programs to outstanding hockey players from all over the world. We are recruiting Billet Families in the Penticton, Westbench and Summerland areas to host a male player in their home for the upcoming school year beginning in September. This year OHA will have 7 teams, with 140 athletes ranging in age from 13-17 years old and we will need homes for 90 players. This high level program focuses on positive personal growth in the areas of Academics, Athletics and Citizenship. We rely on Billet Homes to provide a home away from home for these young people. All transportation is provided by the Academy. Billet families will receive $600.00/month. If you would like more information about opening your home to a player and being part of this exciting opportunity please contact:

Patch on patch is how Garry Gratton describes the condition of Corry Place’s road surface. Residents of the small, south Penticton neighbourhood say they are tired of being treated like second-class citizens and are demanding some improvements to their street. The street, off Pineview Road, was an orchard a century ago, and there is even still a house on the street dating back to that era, which Gratton said was apparently a picker’s cabin at one time. “It’s still occupied and still being lived in to this day,” said Gratton. But the little residential loop hasn’t seen much change since it was developed in the late 1950s. “The shocking and quite surprising thing about Corry Place is that right from the 1960s onwards to now it’s never been properly serviced. It has never had proper storm drainage, it has never had curbs, gutters, sidewalks or a proper, real asphalt surface.” Gratton, and the neighbourhood group that has formed to lobby Penticton city hall, were told the condition of their street would be looked at during the 2014 budget deliberations later this year. “We have five to 10 year plans, and sometimes it falls within those plans and

sometimes it gets pushed off, just like the hospital for the last 15 years,” said Coun. John Vassilaki. “It’s economics. Things are really, really tough. I can assure you it will be on our 2014 budget deliberations this fall.” Coun. Andrew Jakubeit echoed Vassilaki’s commitment, but Coun. Wes Hop-

kin cautioned the delegation there were no promises being made. “This does have to go through a process. For us to say that we will deliberate and look at this, means that we will look at it and weigh it against the other priorities of the city,” said Hopkin. “But don’t go away thinking that this is necessarily going to be done, lickety split, next year or at the end of the year. “I don’t want to set you up with a false hope.” The Corry Place upgrade is planned, according to a capital expenditure form supplied by the city, but not until 2018, when Corry Place is scheduled for a $712,000 makeover, including sidewalks, storm sewers, water, landscaping and street lighting. Gratton told council they were looking for something more than verbal assurances. For the last 15 years, he said, that is the message they have been getting: just give us three or four years. Still, he felt the response from council was a good start, and the residents presented a solid front. However, the idea of possibly waiting until 2018 didn’t sit well. He said they would continue the fight, attending as many council meetings as necessary and sending emails until they get a timeline they feel is reasonable. “We feel like second-class citizens when back alleys are getting paving and storm sewers,” said Gratton.

Peachfest for friends and family Mark Brett

Western News Staff

As with previous years, celebrating friendships and families and creating a lifetime of memories was the bottom line at the 2013 Penticton Peach Festival. Over the five-day event, which wrapped up last Sunday, an estimated 75,000 people rocked to the sounds of headliner performers like Honeymoon Suite, gasped in awe at the RCAF Snowbirds aerial show and just plain had a lot of fun on Kiddies’ Day and at the many other special events. “I thought it was a great week, the numbers were great, people were telling me the parade crowds were the biggest they’d ever seen,” said president Don Kendall, who heads the 16-member board that organizes the free festival of festivals each year. “We focus on making it a family event, with the sorts of things that everyone can enjoy.” Kendall credits the sponsors, his directors and the hundreds of volunteers who give of their time to make the festival the first-class event it continues to be year after year. “One of the most asked questions I get is how can we do this for free,” said Kendall. “Honeymoon Suite just packed the park and put on an incredible show and there’s no place else you can see that kind of entertainment for free and again that’s thanks to our sponsors, in particular Peters Bros. Construction. They are the ones who allow us to do that, including the Snowbirds and the giant screen in the park this year.” As wonderful as the waterfront entertainment was, the president pointed to the many other associ-

ated events like the new Barefoot Beach Battle mixed martial arts competition, the Peachpit Pentown Throwdown skateboard and BMX meet and the staples like the sandcastle building, slow-pitch tournament, aboriginal village, square dancing and the crowning of the Miss Penticton royalty, for making this year’s event the success it was. In addition, both the Peters Bros. Grand Parade Saturday and the Kiddies’ Day Parade the following day had what is believed to be the largest number of participants and spectators alike in the festival’s history. “There is just so much that goes on,” said Kendall. “We’ve tried to make it a festival that has something for everyone and it is really gratifying to be able to do this. I like helping the community and this is my contribution back to Penticton. I like living here and this gives me an opportunity to make Penticton a better place.” Among those people who took in almost every day of this year’s festival were three longtime friends, Clare Lintopt, Penny Taylor and Bev Bosman, who have rarely missed the August festival in more than four decades, despite going their separate ways earlier in life. “We keep coming back almost every year because it is so good to see each other and this (festival) just makes it so much more fun,” said Lintopt, who now lives in Nanaimo. “I remember for years after Penny moved away I would grab my kids and go over to North Vancouver and grab Penny and come to Penticton for Peach Fest.” For the three friends, the first years were all about the kids but now the youngsters have grown

up and have families of their own, the trio get to do what they want. “Back then we didn’t have an opportunity to watch the later music or anything like that because we were here for the children but now we get a chance to stay out late and watch the shows at night,” said Taylor who has since moved back to Penticton. “I just love the atmosphere more than anything else, I like seeing people having a good time and it’s free.” Bosman has remained in Penticton and has played host for all those years. “This (Peach Fest) is just something that keeps you young at heart,” she said. “It is just something that keeps families coming back, my kids, my grandkids and my great grandkids who are in the Kiddies’ Day parade. “I just think it’s Penticton in general. The spirit and the volunteers and it’s always so well organized and its a family event, sponsored by local people and that’s why it’s awesome.” For local business owner Chris Maier, this year’s Peach Fest was an opportunity to begin building those special memories for his own young family, wife Kristin and their two daughters, Rowyn, 4, and eight-month-old Sydney. “Getting the kids involved at this age is, first of all it’s fun, they enjoy it, and secondly we’re not going anywhere and I want them as they get older to help continue the same thing,” said Maier as the girls sat patiently in their decorated wagon waiting for the Kiddies’ Day parade to begin. “It’s good to be part of your community and it’s good to contribute, especially if you want all these benefits that Peach Fest brings so it’s good to be involved and keep the tradition going.”

EDITORIAL

opinion

We’ve heard it before Not that it is ever long out of the news, but the proposed expansion to Penticton Regional Hospital is making headlines once again. This time, it’s because Terry Lake, newlyminted health minister, made some incautious remarks about the promised Patient Care Tower not happening in this term of the government. Lake later corrected himself, saying he meant the expansion wouldn’t be finished this term, but the damage was done and people once again questioned the province’s commitment to the long awaited project, as well as the length of time it will take. It has to go through the process, Lake and others have said. True, the last thing anyone wants is to rush the design and building of the expansion and end up with something that is inadequate to present or future needs. But the notional cost, as Lake puts it, is already some $300 million. If work on the tower was begun when it was first proposed, it might have been built for one-third of the cost. Every year that passes, while Penticton was passed over again and again, and now, while it goes through the process, adds more to the cost. The hospital, according to best estimates, could take up to five years to build. Added to the minimum two years Lake is suggesting before shovels are in the ground, and the region is looking at seven years before the doors open on the new patient care tower. Much of the foundation planning is already complete though the detailed design is not something that can be rushed. But the government side of theWESTERN process, the treasury board apPENTICTON proval and other red tape could be fast-tracked. Penticton and the South Okanagan have waited long enough. If the province really wants to assure the South Okanagan they are committed to the hospital expansion, it needs to take steps to ensure funding to get started on the real work is in next year’s budget.

Another round of liquor reforms The B.C. Liberal government is ordering up another round of liquor regulation changes, looking for ways to make life easier for businesses and customers without aggravating the health and social problems associated with alcohol. Discussions with B.C.’s 10,000 liquor licence holders have identified a few problems that should be fixed. Going into a consultation phase that runs to October, the government is looking for answers to a few obvious questions, such as why it takes a pub or bar up to a year to get a licence. Another question: why can a family with under-aged children go into a licensed restaurant for lunch, but can’t go to a pub and place the exact same food and drink order? This should be allowed, perhaps until the traditional 5 p.m. “happy hour” when the pub reverts to adultsonly.

A couple of suggestions have come out of the healthy growth of B.C. wine, craft beer and distillery operations. Look for new licence opportunities for farmers’ markets to sell local beverages along with the produce and preserves. Letters inviting suggestions from existing licence holders have gone out, and Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap will be meeting this fall with industry groups, local governments, police, health and social policy organizations and First Nations in the fall. A website will be put up in September so members of the public can have their say. Here’s my suggestion to start things off. Recent incidents involving so-called “party buses” shone a light on this growing industry, The sudden death of a 16-year-old on a party bus outing in Surrey in February turned out not to be alcohol-related,

Tom Fletcher

B.C. Views but to no one’s surprise, open liquor was found aboard the bus. Open liquor isn’t allowed in any vehicle, but perhaps a new kind of special event licence could be created for party buses. They have been viewed mainly as part of the solution to impaired driving, and the situation isn’t much different from a supervised event on a boat. Here’s another suggestion. Gourmet cooking classes are becoming popular, with customers preparing and then enjoying their meals. Why not licence

these establishments, at least so people can bring their own wine for dinner? Both the B.C. Liberals and NDP have advocated for easing the archaic rules on interprovincial trade in wine. B.C. lifted its restrictions on mailorder wine and has urged other provinces to follow suit. There are a couple of reasons why this Prohibition-era structure persists. Liquor sales are a cash cow for provincial governments, and every case of wine brought in from elsewhere is lost profit for the provincial wholesale monopoly. Then there is the local industry lobby that would rather not add to its competition. Premier Christy Clark pressed this point at the recent premiers’ meeting in Ontario wine country, bringing in the maximum amount of B.C. wine allowed under Ontario rules and urging free trade in Canadian wine. The Toronto media

drank it up, aghast that they were barred from ordering the latest Naramata Bench tipples directly. No movement so far from the Ontario government, in a province that has done well developing its own wine industry. The B.C. government will no doubt be lobbied again to allow beer and wine sales in grocery and convenience stores. Our politicians show little interest in that, which is understandable. The B.C. Liberals don’t want to upset the private liquor stores they have nurtured for a decade, and the NDP would never risk annoying the government liquor store union. There are more creative ways to liberalize alcohol sales. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com., tfletcher@blackpress. ca.

Elephant in room becoming more apparent There’s an elephant in the room right now in regards to the future of the economy in its present form and that elephant is energy. The Provincial and Federal Governments don’t seem to be too concerned, in fact they’re exacerbating the problem by fire selling our resources. So it’s now up to our local leaders to stare reality in the face and do what they can. If you go on the US Energy Information Administration website and have a look at the history of conventional oil production worldwide what you see is a steady climb in production up until 2005 then a plateau all the way until last month. It’s what’s known as the bumpy plateau in peak oil theory. The International Energy Agency and other energy think tanks warn that we may hit peak oil production within the decade. In Texas or Oklahoma in 1930s you could spend the equivalent of $400,000 in today’s money, drill down a bit and have a well that would produce thousands of barrels a day, with a decline rate well under 10 per cent per year.

Dyer nails topic Hats off to Gwynne Dyer and his editorial “Infanticide leads to monogamy” in your newspaper. Wow. Nicely done. I have always maintained, nothing could shake me from this, the belief that human behavior can be explained by watching animals and other creatures. As much as we like to think we are somehow better than other creatures, we are simply bipeds walking the planet with iPods and attitude. Gwynne’s article is well written - including sufficient interjections within the text to pique every corner of my brain that ever pondered the monogamy thing and the family unit thing. Kudos. Best article I may have ever read by a freelance journalist on a topic we, as “cult-ivated” (sic) humans, would not like to admit to. Arlene Arlow Keremeos

Entrepreneurs should be encouraged

The letter regarding horse carriages and comments stated in the opinion article of the August 2 Penticton Western News have prompted me to make some comments of my own. Firstly, it is good to see that the entrepreneurial spirit isn’t dead in Penticton, and the person or persons who granted the business license for this horse-drawn carriage, needs to be commended. Hopefully, more people will develop more businesses and encourage people to enjoy themselves. Secondly, horses have participated in the growth of this marvelous country of Canada and I believe it is fair to say in the growth of Penticton (in the heat).

That was cheap easily accessible oil. The tight hole shale gas deposits in the U.S. are not cheap easily accessible oil. The supposed 100 year supply is a fraud, the cost to drill the majority of these tight wells falls between three and six million dollars, they produce 80 to 100 barrels a day and have a decline rate of 40 to 60 per cent per year with some wells declining up to 90 per cent. With those decline rates companies are forced to drill more holes thus investing bigger chunks of capital and energy into extraction. Current estimates have the supply of shale gas peaking within the decade. Shale gas, offshore deep water drilling and the oil sands don’t disprove peak oil theory, they confirm it. Peak oil doesn’t mean running out of oil, it means running out of cheap, easily accessible oil, the very lifeblood of growth economics. If you look at the history of economic growth you find it’s correlated with the growth in energy production. When oil is easy to get at, the energy invested to energy

I’ve witnessed many horses outside in 31 degree heat without endangering their health, provided they are kept hydrated and well fed. Thirdly, wheels were invented to make things move easier. I can recall instances where Baldy and Tom, our two heavy horses, move stone boats loaded with various materials with ease. Then I wondered if it was possible that the real bone of contention is the additional nano-seconds it takes to move from point A to B. Or maybe it’s because one doesn’t like to see people enjoying themselves experiencing a leisurely clippity-clop along a very scenic route, or witnessing a child’s bewilderment with the strength of such beautiful animals. At times I have been accused of having hoof-in-mouth. I know that I’m not the only one. As a resident of this fabulous community I will support and encourage people who wish to try to add value to it. We need to encourage more entrepreneurial spirit. At times, we’ll make mistakes, but at least we’ve tried. Merv Jones Penticton

Parking fee prohibitive

I wish I had not already bought tickets to the Loretta Lynn show because I am against this money grab. It stinks how it was introduced. There was no warning. Just announced right before the Alan Jackson show that there will be a $10 parking fee. How are the out of town folks going to pay if they don’t have cash on them? Had this parking fee been introduced in a more timely manner perhaps it would have been more acceptable, but the way it was intro-

return is very high. So little energy is spent to get a lot of energy in return and all that excess energy for the past 60 years has been used to expand goods and services. But we’ve picked all the easy low hanging fruit on the energy tree and now have to expend more energy to climb higher up the tree to find fruit. What that means is growth economics in it’s current form is finished. Now instead of using that excess energy and capital to expand goods and services such as infrastructure, health care, transportation, education, arts entertainment and renewable energy, society has to use it to find, extract and produce energy. Of course the costs of exploring, extracting and producing all these unconventional, dirty and difficult to get at sources are going to go up as cheap conventional oil production peaks and declines. The costs will be passed from the producer on to the consumer so be prepared to pay a lot more for everything. There are ways we could mitigate the hardships this new economic and energy reality will impose on us but we won’t do that

duced is like a slap in the face. After the Loretta Lynn show, I won’t be going to anything else at the convention center. Kind of reminds me how the HST was introduced to us. Doreen Johnson Penticton

Penticton no place for snakes

Recently a fellow was walking through the Saturday morning farmer’s market with a large, about a 10-foot length and 3 to 4” diameter, snake draped up one arm, around his neck and down the other arm. Fortunately I saw it from a distance. One might easily have a heart attack seeing this thing suddenly up close in the crowded venue. A python has recently killed two children in Moncton. A recurring tragedy. What is the city policy on snakes? I recommend they be banned from the city entirely. Dave Mackenzie Naramata

Angels cycle amongst us

There are angels in this wonderful world we live in. Three years ago I purchased a new bike, custom-fitted to my needs, at Freedom the Bike Shop here in Penticton. Six months later while on vacation my bike was stolen in the Coquitlam area. Feelings of being ripped off, distrust and violated by humanity followed. I reported it to the Coquitlam RCMP with the thought of I will never see my bike again. Exactly three years later the bike

because we’re human. The majority of us lack the discipline to be proactive because as a species we’re hard-wired to react to threats. But here’s some things you can do: buy more local food from the farmers market, walk or bike to work more, conserve energy and water, plant a big garden, learn how to can, buy locally made goods and properly insulate your house. These are just some of the ways you can prepare for the energy crunch. You should also lend support to any Transition Town Initiatives and the Penticton Urban Agriculture Association. The response to peak oil is going to have to come from the ground up. The people running our provincial (LNG) and federal governments (pipelines) lack the intellectual and emotional capacity to deal with a problem of this magnitude. So I’m calling on our local government to create a peak oil committee (if they haven’t already) to help study and design a response to the coming energy crunch.

Legal pot paves road to disaster

I can’t for the life of me see this group of groupies calling themselves Sensible B.C. having a hope in Hades of legalizing pot, no matter how many signatures they acquire. We have barely made it through the aftermath of 40-plus years of drug abuse and fall out from all going to pot, and whomever coined the phrase recreational drugs must have been just wrecked. I suppose it was a ploy to make drugs more sociably acceptable, but in fact was an act of irresponsibility which to this day has an astronomical impact on society and productivity. We obviously have short memories from the time it was the norm to worship the brain-dead, so-called musicians like Janis Joplin, who sounded like she was five centimetres in labour with a kilo brick of Afghan black hash. How else could she reach such a feverish pitch? Joe Cocker, I’m sure, was getting tasered by the whole National Guard from back stage. A person could not possibly spaz out like that unaccompanied, surely? And yes folks, we parted with our hard-earned cash to see such a spectacle. We have to stay focused now, the days are long gone when we would

seek a stoner guru for advice in the art of meditation and transient mental medication from atop the Himalayan mountains. If the air heads get their way with legalization of whacky weed, we will once again be away with the fairies, donning see-through tie-dyed robes, with our crowns adorned with daisy chains while tiptoeing through the tulips and blowing dandelion seeds into the wind with glazed eyes. God forbid! Come on people, we need to clean up our act. We have a lot of housekeeping to do if this poor tired world is going to sustain our grandchildren. Andy Homan Penticton

Country singer Kristen Kelly is just as comfortable singing in elegant dresses under the stage spotlight as she is in Mossy Oak camoflouge and playing pranks on the boys. “Oh, for sure,” she admits. “I play music and sing for a living, but I am a real person too. I am on a co-ed softball team ... in the event I have something to do I have to be in a dress for, I just try not to slide and stay on my feet.” It’s that balance in life that comes through in her music which she describes as “a little more grease than polish.” Kelly will be sharing that mix distilled from her country, blues and classic rock influences into the heartfelt reflection of real life as she knows it when she opens for Brad Paisley in Penticton at the South Okanagan Events Centre on Thursday. The Texas-raised songstress has toured with Rascal Flatts, The Band Perry and spent most of 2012 with Paisley on his Reality world tour. With a lot of downtime on the road, Kelly said it’s hard to not get into a little trouble now and then. It was when Paisley brought out everyone on his tour to the stage with him for his song Alcohol that she sprung into action. “I walked out as Brad’s double. I borrowed one of my guitar player’s pink Paisley guitars, his jeans, got an Alcohol T-shirt from Paisley’s merchandise table, his tour manager helped me get one of his cowboy hats and I bought a wig and drew on a moustache, goatee and darkened my eyebrows,” she said, laughing at the thought of it. “Brad was laughing through the whole song. He tells the crowd, ‘she is

a pretty woman, but makes an ugly guy.’ He is really good at pranks too and hasn’t got me back but I have a good feeling I have it coming to me and I am probably going to get it when I least expect it.” Rascal Flatts already helped themselves in that department. Kelly said

NAME:

during their last show on the tour they recently did together Kelly was so involved with her final song of the night she didn’t notice Rascal Flatts drummer Jim Riley began taking Kelly’s drummer’s kit away one piece at a time. “So by the end of the song all my drummer had

was his high-hat. It’s hilarious. There is a video out there somewhere. Playing with a disappearing drum kit, I think my drummer did a pretty dadgum good job. I was completely clueless because I was so into the song and the crowd was singing so to watch this video and know all this is

going on behind me and I totally missed it, it is funny,” said Kelly. It’s with that light-hearted view of life and ability to be open and truthful in her songs that Kelly approached her self-titled album featuring songs she co-wrote: Miss Me; Drink Myself Out of Love with

You; He Loves to Make Me Cry and a look at love gone awry in Ex-Old Man. “Two of those are love songs, but the titles can be a bit misleading. Ex-Old Man is a true story about the fact that I have an exhusband and an ex-best girlfriend,” she said. “Writing is definitely my therapy session. I think I am an open book, I have always been one to speak my mind and I just feel like that is how I go through life. It is OK to say that it hurts when it hurts and it is OK to say life is great when life is great. You have to experience all of it.” Her affinity for singing runs deep. Kelly’s late grandfather was a country musician and she worked hard to get to where she is today by earning an on-thespot invitation with a classic rock cover band after an impromptu performance. She eventually launched a solo career, recording her own independent album. But, it was a chance meeting at a 2010 benefit concert with Dierks Bentley that impressed Grammywinning songwriter Paul Overstreet to invite her to write with him. This sparked a chain of events that led to her record deal with Sony Music Nashville. “I flew to Nashville to sing for the president of the label and I ended up getting offered a record deal. It has all just been a crazy, amusing, whirlwind of a ride and I am trying to just take it all in and not blink,” said Kelly.

Much Ado wraps up Chamber Theater season Steve Kidd Western News

Beatrice, played by rae-Marie Leggott, tells with the audience at township 7 Winery about her new found love for Benedick.

Steve Kidd/Western News

SALE STARTS WEDNESDAY!

The run may be over, but Penticton Chamber Theatre isn’t quite done with Much Ado about Nothing. “We have even been invited to perform in Merritt with the live theatre society there. And we are making an effort right now to see if that might work for early September,” said director Josephine Patterson. “That’s the first time we have ever been invited to perform anywhere farther than the Grist Mill.” Saturday, the local theatre group wrapped up the scheduled run of the production with a final performance at Township 7 Winery, after touring outdoor venues in Summerland, Kaleden and Okanagan Falls. “This was the best ensemble I have ever had, 17

actors,” said Patterson. “For me, that makes all the difference. For a director, once you have an excellent cast, then a lot of your work is done. Everyone is completely cooperative, creative. We had a wonderful time.” Much Ado about Nothing is one of Shakespeare’s best-known comedies, though unlike others from the catalog, it does have a darker side, something Patterson said both cast and audience seemed to enjoy. “It was a lot of fun, but we did enjoy having a bit of a villain in the story, unlike Shakespeare’s “green comedies” that are totally bright at the end,” she said. “This one definitely had a bit of a villain (Don John, played by Martin Peterson), and we do know that the couples are not going to be completely happy.” Patterson is referring to the sardonic main characters of the play, Beatrice (Rae-Marie Leggott) and Benedick (Colin Cross), who she said still influence theatre and film. “That was the model for many couples today: Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn; Nick and Nora Charles; all of the bickering couples,” said Patterson. Set in the Italian province of Messina, Much Ado is also ideal for an outdoor performance, especially a vineyard. “It’s heaven to be outside the box,” said Patterson. “I doubt that we will ever have Shakespeare indoors again. We really now have many outdoor venues. We can pick and choose, but we do try to bring it to different communities.” Being outside the box, however, brings with it the elements, and Patterson thanks the audiences for sticking with them through some of the dicey moments. “Some evenings there was lightning with rain at the end. When the cast was applauding at the end, they were applauding our audience,” said Patterson. This was Penticton Chamber Theatre’s ninth season, and Patterson said they are already looking forward to a celebratory 10th season, considering either A Comedy of Errors or The Winter’s Tale.

Losing to Kalib Starnes just over a minute into the first round of the main event of the Barefoot Beach Battle was not what Clay Davidson had in mind. Starnes and Davidson were the feature fight of the Five Star Fight League, which held Canada’s first professional outdoor event in Penticton. “It was disappointing. We’re very competitive so I went in there with intentions to win,” said Davidson. “Just wasn’t my fight. He was the better man that night.” As Davidson said, the beginning of the end for him happened when Starnes, who entered the weekend winning his last two Ultimate Fighting Championship bouts, delivered a hard body blow. “He kicked me so hard in the liver and it killed me,” said Davidson with a laugh. “Once he hit me, my body just stopped responding.” Davidson tried to fight through the agonizing pain. He started well but it lasted only so long. Davidson, who before the fight said he had to be cautious of Starnes’ boxing ability, was concerned with his right hand. Starnes surprised him with a kick. “In hindsight I would have blocked it or done something differently,” he said Mon-

day. “I left it all out there. I fought as hard as I could.” Davidson said he was offered easier opponents, but he didn’t want to take that route. “I wanted to fight Kalib,” said Davidson, who added that he already has offers for more fights. “I wanted to challenge myself. I’d fight him again. He didn’t scare me out there. He destroyed me pretty quick. I have confidence in my abilities.” Davidson enjoyed the atmosphere that was sparked by the crowd at the resort and felt like he had the

whole crowd behind him. Other fights on the pro card had Matt Baker defeating Darrio Mobley using a guillotine choke two minutes and nine seconds into the first round. Ryan Chiappe knocked out Aaron Shymyr with a punch 2:06 into the first round, while Duncan Wilson submitted Jason Gorny using a rear naked choke 4:05 into the opening round. Jeff Porter earned a unanimous decision against Ryan Ballingall and Morgan Littlechild submitted Blake Shearing using a rear naked choke at 3:14 of the

first round. On the amateur card, Paul Alec Jr. defeated Penticton’s Mitch Burke by TKO with punches at 1:10 of the second round. Josh Heinz used a spinning back fist to knock out Ty Endonoste 46 seconds into the second round and Doug Westbrook defeated Penticton’s Jesse Sayers by unanimous decision. Justin Donally, president of Five Star Athletics Inc., which organized the event, said it went great and the fights were excellent. “People were having a great time,” said Donally, who didn’t have exact attendance

figures, but believed it to be around 1,000. Donally said Davidson had a tough opponent in Starnes. “Tough break for Clay,” said Donally, who hung out with him the next day. “It was a tough fight. Kalib will probably be back in Ultimate Fighting Championship.” The MMA event will return to Penticton as Donally said he has already booked the event with Max Picton’s Barefoot Beach resort for next August. The plan is to make it bigger and better, and going all day with a band and DJ.

Throwdown a winner on wheels Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

A crowd estimated at 250 people took in the Peachpit Pentown Throwdown, watching skateboarders and BMX riders pull off jaw-dropping tricks. The event was held during Peach Fest on Saturday and Sunday at the Penticton Youth Park. Scott Mayhew, Peach Festival director for youth events, said it turned out to be a big success for everyone. “I think it was one of the biggest events that the skateboard park has seen since opening day,” said Mayhew. The pro skateboarding attracted 19 contestants, while the amateur had 15 and BMX 17. First-place finishers took home $500, while runners-up pocketed $350 and third-placers earned $150. The cash bowl event winner, Roger Bruinsma, took home $200. “We had some people come up from Alberta and northern B.C.,” said Mayhew. “They all say they are definitely coming back next year.” Mayhew said the vendors were happy and praised the support of City of Penticton parks staff, plus the Peach Fest volunteers and Pentagon Board Shop.

Mayhew added they are looking forward to planning next year and the work has already started.

Penticton players win women’s national championship we will ever have.” After deciding last year they would compete for the national championship, Pepin said the Fusion built a strong team by picking up a few players. Hall joined the Fusion this season and ended up being chosen team MVP of the tournament by the coaches. “She played awesome. She’s always awesome,” said Pepin of Hall. “She hit well and she didn’t make any mistakes on defence. I believe she made us win.” “I felt I had a good tourney overall, batted well,” said Hall, who played for Fusion coach Darcy O’Heir three years ago and won provincials. “It was a real

Pepin said Kelowna’s iCandy was stronger this year than last. “They gave us a run for our money,” she said. “The team from Vancouver, they beat us in the first playoff game by one run in the final. We had to come from the back door, beat

them twice in the final. They gave us a hard time too.” Making things challenging for the Fusion was the loss of their regular pitcher. The Fusion went to Ali Furgala, for what ended up being three do-or-die games. First, the team outlasted crosstown rivals iCandy to advance to the final where Furgala would earn two straight victories over All Fired Up, edging the Vancouver club 7-4 in game one of the final before blasting them 9-3 to win it all. -With files from the Kelowna Capital News.

Outriggers have national success Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

The race to the ﬁnish line was a success for most of the Penticton Racing Canoe Club during the 2013 National Iron Championships hosted by Vernon last weekend. Tina Hoeben, a coach and paddler for the PRCC, said the junior crew, the 70-plus crew and open mixed teams enjoyed strong performances. “The kids did really well,” said Hoeben of the winning mixed crew. “They went out with conﬁdence. Had some competition from another junior crew that was all males.” Hoeben was impressed when they managed to defeat a woman’s crew, even though they had one less lap to complete. “Keeping up with woman crews is not easy,” she said. The PRCC placed fourth overall in the team standings of the championship sanctioned by the Canadian Outrigger Racing Association. Helping the PRCC climb the standings was the six-person crew with members aged 70 and over. While they had no other teams in their age category to compete against, Hoeben said their performance was amazing.

“I just think they are so inspirational,” said she said of the crew that faced a men’s and mixed team. “I think they are incredibly committed. Tons of enthusiasm.” The PRCC also had a mixed team compete in four races and finished with the most points to capture the CORA Cup. Thanks to a commitment to training, the crew was ahead from start to finish. Three junior paddlers entered the junior and open mixed races completing the 12-kilometre loop in the morning, then the 24-km distance in the afternoon. “That was pretty impressive that those young people took on that big challenge,” said Hoeben. On Aug. 24, in conjunction with Challenge Penticton, the PRCC is hosting a small-boat race. The event takes place on Okanagan Lake using the Challenge Penticton swim course. Experienced paddlers will complete one lap. They will do a chase-down format which has the first person come into shore and park then the second person will come into shore and park, and so on until the last person comes in. The last person keeps going and then they release everyone else in the opposite order to what they came in. Young paddlers begin at 10 a.m., while the chase down starts at 11 a.m.
