CITY PUTS MARKET UP FOR AWARD Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

The Penticton community has already won two major peoples’ choice challenges, and now promoters are hoping to make it a triple crown with the 2013 Great Public Space award. The award is sponsored by the Canadian Institute of Planners. And it’s going to be a stiff competition. The Downtown Market is up against the likes of the Rideau Canal in Ottawa, English Bay in Vancouver and others; the greatest of Canada’s great places. “The planning department and the Downtown Penticton Association

thought it would be an excellent idea to nominate the downtown Penticton market as one of Canada’s great places,” said Anthony Haddad, director of development services. Earlier this summer, Penticton was a winner in the Main Street Matters challenge, winning a fresh coat of paint for three blocks of downtown. Then, voters chose the city for an on-air visit from a TV morning show and now the drive is on to win a third challenge. So organizers are once again asking Pentictonites to sit down at their computers, pull out their smart phones and tablets and vote at http:// tinyurl.com/PentictonGP.

The most popular places nominated will be on the shortlist of ﬁnalists highlighted on the Great Places in Canada website. Canadians will vote for the People’s Choice Award in each category, while a judging panel of renowned planning experts will weigh in to pick the Great Places in Canada for 2013. “It brings more attention to the markets, that are already spectacular,” said Kerri Milton, executive director of the DPA. “It shows other people in Canada what we have to offer. Haddad said it would also be recognition for a great use of the city’s space.

“The flexibility in use of the street for a market such as this is a fairly significant planning achievement,” said Haddad. It’s a significant achievement, he explained, to close down the majority of the downtown core every weekend during the summer for the use of a public market that is a significant social event and a draw for tourists. “It’s a significant success over the last few years and one of the city’s greatest assets,” he said. The downtown market is really three markets: the Farmers’ Market that has been operating for more than 20 years, the Artisans’ Market and the DPA’s community market. Together,

the markets now cover four blocks of Main Street, as well as Front Street. “The success that has been generated out of the market the last few years has been enormous,” said Haddad. The public voting part of the competition continues until Sept. 23 and Milton is encouraging Pentictonites to vote as often as possible. “You can vote from every device, every hour. That’s not cheating, you are honestly allowed to vote once every hour,” said Milton. “We are looking for as much community involvement as possible. We will need lots of it to make the vote happen.”

CMHC limit could cool hot market Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Bankers have mixed opinions about how changes to Canada’s mortgage insurance system will affect the surging real estate market in the South Okanagan. Earlier this month, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation told lenders it would begin rationing the room it has left under a cap that limits the value of mortgagebacked securities it will insure against default. “The cap may raise the cost of funds for some lenders, primarily banks. In turn, they may pass along those costs to borrowers in the form of higher rates or fees,” Valley First Credit Union vice-president of credit Jim Lamond said in a statement. Possible mortgage rate increases could prompt people with shortterm rate guarantees to begin shopping in earnest and “spur a round of activity in the market to buy now before rates go up,” Lamond said. “Any fee or rate increase would be tempered by competition and

would likely be modest,” he added. Prospera Credit Union vicepresident of treasury Michael Kerdachi doesn’t agree with some analysts who suggested the new limits were designed by the federal government to cool off Canada’s housing market. “This is a very small, technical detail of the program,” Kerdachi said. “To try to then correlate that to slowing down the mortgage market I would see as a very difficult piece.”

Kerdachi doesn’t think the Crown corporation’s limit on lenders will necessarily drive up mortgage rates. “We’ve seen a fairly significant (rate) increase in the last month here,” he said. “I don’t think there’s a lot more to come.” Judy Klassen, president of the South Okanagan Real Estate Board, said speculation about where mortgage rates are headed is still “just best guesses.”

hospital tower expansion takes step forward Western News Staff

The expansion to Penticton Regional Hospital has moved one square along the path to the long-awaited patient care tower. Interior Health has selected two health care design companies to provide architectural, electrical, mechanical and information technology consulting services in support of the development of a business plan for the new patient care tower at Penticton Regional Hospital. “These companies are both leaders in their fields,” said IH Board Chair Norman Embree. “With their support in the development of the business plan, we are confident Penticton will soon benefit from a high-quality, well-designed patient care tower.” Soon, according to Health Minister Terry Lake, is at least two years away before shovels are in the ground and another three to five years before the new facility is in full operation. “This project is a high priority for our government and today’s announcement of successful proponents being selected to support the business plan development is another step towards a new patient care

tower at Penticton Regional Hospital,” said Lake. “We are pleased to see this important step in development of the business plan,” said Okanagan-Similkameen Regional Hospital District chair Janice Perrino. “As partners in this project, we look forward to the eventual approval to proceed to the actual design and construction of a health care facility to take us into the next decades.” Using their areas of expertise, the companies will help Interior Health develop the business plan, which Premier Christy Clark gave provincial approval to move forward with on Mar. 20. Should the project proceed to design and construction, the two companies will also provide compliance consulting services throughout the term of project development, ensuring proposals comply with the requirements of the request for proposals and the final contract. “I’d like to thank Interior Health for moving forward with planning for the new patient care tower. Having companies in place to provide consulting services for the business plan is a further advancement towards the start of actual construction,” said Penticton MLA Dan Ashton.

“I haven’t heard anything from any of the banks saying they’re definitely going to be raising their rates,” said the Princeton realtor. “It still is a bit of a buyer’s market in our area, so I think our pricing should probably stay pretty flat.” But statistics show it’s also been a good summer for sellers. According to figures compiled by the real estate board, sales of residential properties in South Okanagan totalled $52.6 million in July, up from $35.6 million the same

month a year earlier. The average selling price for single-family homes increased by $83,000 to $408,000. In Penticton alone, residential properties worth $26.6 million changed hands in July, nearly double the total of $13.9 million during the same month a year ago. The average selling price for single-family homes was up by $114,000 to $441,600. Residential construction activity is also on the rise. In July, the City of Penticton issued residential building permits for construction valued at $3.4 million, up from $1.4 million a year earlier. However, the value of all building permits issued through July totalled $23.6 million, down from $32.4 million during the same period in 2012, led by a sharp decrease in commercial activity. Anthony Haddad, the city’s director of development services, noted the 2012 commercial numbers were pushed up by major projects such as the new Landmark Cinemas 7 theatre and the Real Canadian Superstore conversion.

Reforming B.C.’s liquor laws is a goal some groups have spent years trying to convince the provincial government is necessary. That day is finally at hand, as the province announced the long-awaited review of B.C. liquor laws last week. “I am very thankful that we have a government that recognizes the need to address these issues and is proactive now. I am very encouraged,” said John Skinner, owner of Painted Rock Winery. He’s also a director of Modernize Wine, which, along with Free My Grapes, has been advocating for just this kind of review. “There are certain things in an evolved wine culture that are just common sense,” said Skinner. “They need to create laws and policies that encourage this new and young industry.” John Yap, parliamentary secretary for liquor policy reform, began the first phase of this review with letters sent to

major stakeholders asking for feedback and ideas for change. “I look forward to working with industry representatives, health and public-safety advocates and engaging directly with the public online,” said Yap. “I know many British Columbians have a lot of opinions and our government is open to hearing them as we move forward in this process.” Some of the issues the review will address are: not allowing minors accompanied by a parent or guardian into pubs that serve food during daytime hours; not allowing establishments like spas to be eligible for licensing permits and not allowing wines and other local liquor to be sold at farmers’ markets. “That’s the low hanging fruit, that’s a real obvious one,” said Skinner, adding that wineries would jump at the chance to have a presence at farmers’ markets. There is issue after issue that needs to be addressed, according to Skinner, including allowing winery restaurants situated

on agricultural reserve land, to be able to serve a wider variety of spirits. “The primary objective is to modernize all of the policies and laws. In the case of Tinhorn Creek, their restaurant should be able to serve all wines, all beers,” said Skinner. Yap will also request input from more than 10,000 liquor licensees and liquor agency stores as well as meet with groups from industry, local governments, First Nations, police, and health and social policy associations throughout September and October. The second phase of the review will take a still wider approach, with a website where British Columbians can provide their input. “Right now, some of B.C.’s liquor laws go back many years,” said Suzanne Anton, attorney general and minister of justice. “Once the public consultation process begins in September, British Columbians can let us know how they would like to see B.C.’s liquor laws reformed.”

Students are due back in school on Sept. 3, but how long they’ll stay in class now seems uncertain. The union representing school support staff broke off contract talks with B.C. government representatives last week and is now considering job action this fall. “We feel we have no choice but to do job action,” said Jean Frolek, president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 523, which covers the Okanagan. “The provincial government was only asking what we were willing to give up. They had nothing to offer.” Most of B.C.’s public school support workers, such as custodians and education assistants, have been without a contract for a year and have already registered an affirmative strike vote. Frolek said that for now, strike dates are “just being considered in September. It’s not that there is a date (set) for the first day of school.” Leslea Pryde, president of the Okanagan Skaha Teachers’ Union, said if CUPE staff walk out, her members will too. “They don’t cross our picket lines, we don’t cross theirs,” Pryde said.

ate to comment on how parents might be affected by potential job action. “CUPE has not provided any specifics about when job action will occur or what it will look like, so I prefer not to provide advice on hypothetical questions,” Hyer said. “Best advice I can give at this point is to continue to monitor the media for updates. As well, the district will be advising parents as more specific information becomes available.” Hyer said she will meet with district staff next week to discuss their planned response to any potential job action. “Again, the plan will be dependent upon what job action looks like, if it occurs,” she added. Frolek said CUPE walked away from bargaining because the B.C. government’s negotiator was unable to discuss wage increase. In recent negotiations with public sector unions, the B.C. government has imposed a collective gains mandate that stipulates any wage increases must come from savings found within that sector. Last winter, school districts were asked to identify budget reductions to fund potential CUPE contract increases, however, school boards claimed there was no money to be found and refused to complete the exercise.

comes for road work, the B.C. government will simply widen the existing highway to four lanes rather than build a bypass. Put would prefer a seven-kilometre bypass that veers off the highway near Greta Ranch south of Peachland and hooks up with Highway 97 C south of West Kelowna. Armed with the new traffic data, the task force will now ask the Transportation Ministry to conduct a business case to study that proposal. Ministry spokesperson Kate Trotter said in a statement all options are still on the pavement. “The ministry has not made any decisions regarding the long-term plans for the highway with regards to whether future four-laning is completed on the current alignment or along a new route,” she said. Trotter didn’t specify a timeline for when those decisions would be made, nor if a business case would be

initiated. “As with any project, future work would have to be looked at in context with broader priorities,” she said. Penticton MLA Dan Ashton said he’s met with ministry staff to explain Peachland’s desire for the new route. “During the election process, I heard loud and clear they want that bypass, they want that study, and they want to get it done as soon as possible,” he said. Ashton plans to bring the request for a business case to a future meeting with the transportation minister, “and we’ll see where it fits into their budgetary process,” he said. “I don’t know when that will be though.” With the new fourlane section of Highway 97 between Oyama and Winfield open, the stretch through Peachland will be the last two-lane portion of the route between Vernon and Penticton.

Man ordered to undergo psych evaluation Joe Fries

Western News Staff

A man accused of an extended sexual assault on his ex-girlfriend has been ordered to undergo a 30-day psychological evaluation. The 42-year-old man is in custody, but chose not to be brought by sheriffs into a Penticton courtroom for his first appearance on Thursday. “He’s not feeling quite up to par,” said defence counsel James Pennington, who asked his client be sent to the Lower Mainland for the assessment to determine if the man’s fit to carry on with court proceedings. A ban imposed by the court prohibits publication of any information that would identify the alleged

19-year-old victim. The Western News has also chosen to also withhold the name of the accused to protect the alleged victim’s identity. The accused is charged with five offences, including kidnapping, unlawful confinement and sexual assault with a weapon. The offences are alleged to have occurred Aug. 10 and 11. Penticton RCMP said in a press release the accused “allegedly confined and assaulted” the woman. Following the alleged assault, “the suspect appears to have then taken some pills, resulting in unconsciousness,” the release said. “The female victim successfully

freed herself and then drove herself and the unconscious male back from the remote area at which time she called police.” The accused was

taken to hospital in Penticton, where he remained under guard until Tuesday, when he was transferred to RCMP cells. Outside court on Thursday, the victim’s mother said her daughter first met the accused when she was 14, but they only began dating in April following a meeting at a local coffee shop where his band was playing. She was unsure when the couple broke up. The mother said her daughter’s ex-boyfriend was “really controlling of her around her friends,” and their relationship wasn’t widely known. The alleged victim was not in court on Thursday. “She’s not doing

good,” said her mother, who was pleased the accused will remain in custody at least until his next court appearance on Sept. 11. “I’m glad they’re doing something to keep him in, and keep my little girl safe,” the mother said.

EDITORIAL

opinion

Time well spent A wise person once said, time is like money, it isn’t how much you have, but what you do with what you have. Certainly a commendable aspiration, considering how short life really is. The realities of modern day life, however, seem to strip away at our precious time at an ever increasing rate, making it difficult to spend time wisely. Faced with these tugs on personal time, it is remarkable and noteworthy that many among us find the time to volunteer. For that we are grateful. Volunteers help build welcoming, supportive communities and rich communities. Rich, not in the sense of wealth, but rather in terms of activities, events and services that serve to enrich the lives of everyone in the community. In most communities, sports of any kind would not exist without the community members who volunteer their time to coach. Service organizations such as the Rotary Club or the Lions Club, to name a few, offer their time in service to the community, in addition to raising money for special community projects. Then there is the Penticton Peach Festival, a five-day long festival featuring a diverse set of events from entertainment to sports, Aboriginal Cultural Village, Seniors Day, a square-dancing festival, slopitch tournament and two parades. All of this free of charge, all of it organized andPENTICTON run by volunteers, from the medical tent and WESTERN trash removal up to the board of directors. Volunteers always say they give their time to give back to the community. Giving back to a community you care for is always time well spent. Try it, you just might like it.

Snowden will spur change on the internet Edward Snowden is safe from American “justice” for the moment, and he will certainly go down as the most effective whistleblower in history. His revelations are going to cause a wholesale restructuring of the world’s most important communications system, the internet. And that, rather than his whereabouts and fate, is now the real story. On Aug. 8Lavabit, a US-based email service provider that promised to keep its clients’ communications private, closed down. The US National Security Agency approached it about six weeks ago demanding the same access to its customers’ e-mails that it has already extorted from big American internet companies like Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Amazon and Microsoft. The company’s owner, Ladar Levison, is under an NSA gag order, but he wrote to his clients: “I have been forced to make a difﬁcult decision: to become complicit in crimes against the American people, or walk away from nearly ten years of hard work

by shutting down Lavabit. I would strongly recommend against anyone trusting their private data to a company with physical ties to the United States.” The mass surveillance being carried out by the NSA not only gives the US government access to everything Americans say to one another. It also destroys everybody else’s privacy, because the standard Internet routing protocol sends messages not by the shortest route, but by whichever route is fastest and least congested. That means, in most cases, through the United States, and therefore straight into the hands of the NSA. Snowden’s revelations so far have told us about two major NSA surveillance programmes, both probably illegal even under American law. The ﬁrst collects the mobile phone records of over 200 million Americans. Don’t worry your pretty head about that, darling, said Senator Dianne Feinstein, chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee: “This is just metadata, there is no

Dyer Straits content involved.” The NSA isn’t actually listening to your calls. Well, of course it isn’t listening to billions of calls. Machines can’t listen to calls, and who has the manpower to do it with human beings? But machines can quickly use the call logs (metadata) to identify everybody you ever talked to, and everybody they ever talked to, and so on out to the fourth or ﬁfth generation. If one of those thousands of people ever spoke to somebody abroad with a Muslim name (or somebody who works for Siemens, or Samsung, or some other industrial competitor of the United States), they may take an interest in you. If you’re an American who has never had direct phone contact with anybody abroad, they may

then apply to access the content of your calls and e-mails under the Prism programme. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court which reviews such applications has refused precisely ten of them (out of 20,919) since 2001. Besides, the content of most Americans’ messages can probably be examined without recourse to the judges under one of the blanket authorizations issued by FISC. And if you’re not American, or an American resident who once spoke to somebody abroad by phone, then you’re in a free-ﬁre zone. If you are American, you probably don’t care about that, because you are mesmerized by the guff about a huge terrorist threat that the security barons use to justify the endless expansion of their empire (now almost a million employees). A recent opinion poll by the Pew Research Centre found that 62 percent of Americans think “ﬁghting terrorism” is more important than worrying about personal privacy.

But if you belong to the great majority of internet users who are not American, are not in a perpetual sweaty panic about “terrorism”, and have no protection whatever under American law from the NSA’s spying, then you will want ways to avoid it. So the market, or other governments, will such create ways. What’s needed is a big investment in internet switching capacity in countries where the spies are not completely out of control. Then non-Americans can just join one of the many servers that will spring up to meet an exploding demand for secure internet services. As Jennifer Granick, director of civil liberties at the Stanford Law School's Center for Internet and Society, put it recently: “America invented the Internet, and our Internet companies are dominant around the world. But the U.S. government, in its rush to spy on everybody, may end up killing our most productive industry.” Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

letters

Letter campaign could spur Senate reform How many times have we heard the phrase, “If it ain’t broke; don’t fix it?” If I had a dinosaur penny for every time that I have heard this trite expression, I’d have a bundle of cash. Our political system, although based on the British format, evolved to the point now where it appears to be broken, at least from the standpoint of the Senate. This faction of government would appear to be the epitome of pork-barreling. We are feeding a money pit of gargantuan proportion for which there is little return on monies spent. First of all, most of these senators are appointed. They have been appointed by whatever party has been in power. For the most part, they are political patronage appointments. Truly, the Peter Principle seems to be the order of the day here. Granted, there are some top-notch people involved as senators.

Correction to biography

(re: Andrews decides to run for councillor, Western News, Aug. 9) Last week a newspaper article came out with a bio of me for the upcoming municipal election. In this article it stated that I was the volunteer co-ordinator for both Kelowna General Hospital and Penticton Regional Hospital. Although I have worked at Penticton Regional Hospital for many years, I am not now, nor have I ever been the volunteer co-ordinator for that facility. Over the years I have enjoyed the opportunity of working between facilities (Penticton, Kelowna and Oliver) and I am presently working as a co-ordinator of volunteer services at Kelowna General Hospital. I apologize for any inconvenience or misunderstanding this may have caused. Should you require further clarification I can be reached at my personal e-mail glen2809@hotmail. com, or by cell phone, 250-8091185 Kevin Andrews Penticton

A little pot in pocket should be fine

(re: Legal pot paves road to disaster; Letters, Western News, August 14) I feel compelled to respond to Andy Homan’s letter regarding the Sensible BC campaign. This letter is rife with misinformation that needs to be corrected, beginning with the reference to legalizing pot. This is not what the campaign is about; cannabis would not be legalized. The purpose is to direct B.C. police to stop using their resources to deal with charges of possession of small amounts of cannabis. This will save the taxpayers

However, the functionality of the senate comes into question here. What is it that they actually do for the monies that members will collect until they are 75 and after that a fat pension? Very simply put, they rubber stamp bills before they become law. Big whoop. We have elected our MP’s to do our bidding through due process. They, in theory, are responsible for addressing our constituent concerns, although as we all know, this does not always happen. As a consequence, shouldn’t they have the right to make decisions affecting the welfare of Canada without playing, “Mother may I?” What makes things more right or wrong just because a body of would-be politicians says so? Why should we be subjected to the whim of a body of individuals whose time for usefulness has long since passed? If these individuals are so important why

money and avoid the criminalization of citizens for a victimless crime. An 18-year-old who is laden with a criminal record for possessing one joint faces a lifetime of roadblocks in terms of employment, educational opportunities, and travel. What benefit is there in the disenfranchisement of citizens for this heinous deed? I completely agree with the statement that we need to do a lot of housekeeping if this poor, tired world is to sustain our grandchildren. A positive step forward would be found in the successful implementation of the Sensible BC plan. Signatures will be collected starting on Sept. 9. Glenda Barr Lantzville

Canadian politics needs a good shake

The shady antics or maybe crimes committed by shady Senators and many elected who steal and feast in all three levels of socalled democracy just blow my mind. And some lovely people that couldn’t say the word “S” if they had a mouthful appear to adore these pigs, but hate the true definition of the slime via the “P” word. Want to see a great exodus from all jails around the world then just give all the bank robbers etc to pay back what they stole with the golden opportunity to continue enjoying the slop at the trough. I wish I could be the lone judge and jury handing down the sentence to these ongoing - growing - never ending pack of thieves to rot in their self-built pigpen. Politics in this country need to be turned inside out, shaken and stirred with democracy re-installed or perhaps reinvented as Yule

aren’t they held to account by the Prime Minister; his cabinet and the House as such? We should have a say as to whether this group is needed or not as we are paying their salaries and expenses. What we get in return for payment is double talk and comments like, “I didn’t know,” from MPs. The government coffers are the responsibility of the governing party. To think that they didn’t know what was happening with the three or four controversial senators is ludicrous. If the money in question had been the MPs in their personal account, they’d make very sure that each and every penny was accounted for at all times, you can rest assured of that! Why then, are they so frivolous with the taxpayer’s money? The answer quite simply is because they can because they are in power. I feel that the time for a parliamentary wakeup call has long since passed.

Schmidt reminded us, the word democracy means the people rule. Translation today in my view democracy means big joke. Just take a look around the world if you need a sad laugh mixed with tears and fear. The “P? word lives on whether the minority like it or not, the “P” words describe to a T the way of todays management of the worlds Demo-piggeries. Tom Isherwood Olalla

Hats off to Gallagher

On Thursday Aug. 8, a birthday party was held for Marielle Brule, which was to take place on one of the party boats rented from Penticton Watersports. I was thrilled to have been invited and really looking forward to some relaxation and good company. Through a series of events, one of which was the fact that I was not clear on where the boat left from I was told that I had missed the launch of the boat. I was devastated. That is when Randy Gallagher of Penticton Boat Rentals told me that if I waited for a few minutes that he would take me out on one of the boats to join up with the group already on the water. I could not believe my ears. True to his word, after a short wait, Randy started up one of the boats and took me out to meet the group on the boat. It was quite the entrance. Something I know I will never forget. Thanks to Randy, I was able to share in the celebration and had a wonderful evening. Hats off to Randy Gallagher and Penticton Boat Rentals for literally going the extra mile in customer service. I know who I will be recommending to all my guests and cus-

It is time for action. What can I do you might ask? The answer is quite simply, make yourself heard. Too often, it seems, that we seem to take the attitude of not being able to do anything. This is wrong. Write your MP; the Prime Minister and any and all senators expressing your concerns regarding the Senate situation. Shower them with letters! I can hear you now asking, “What’s the point, they won’t do anything and I’m just one person?” Unfortunately, there is too much of this type of thinking. This seems to be the reason that so little change has taken place. It’s time to take up the challenge and encourage friends and associates to do likewise. In the words of Margaret Mead, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful people could change the world. It’s the only thing that ever has.”

Drugs don’t belong in sports

Is it any wonder that drug use is rampant in professional sports? Players are paid according to their popularity, and if it takes drugs to make them better players and therefore more popular, then by all means take advantage of these modern miracles. In sports, as in many businesses, it is not illegal to use drugs to enhance productivity, it is only illegal if they get caught. Professional sports is big business, and while owners might not support drug use they will look the other way if this means higher attendance and more TV coverage. They can look shocked and dismayed by such actions, but in the end it is the bottom line that is more important than the reputation of any player or the sport. At this time it is professional baseball that is the centre of attention, but athletes in every sport, including amateur sports, have been found guilty of substance abuse and the basis of every athlete using drugs has been to enhance their performance in order to gain attention from the owners or the sponsors. Even so-called amateur sports are basically big business, as sponsors pour in big money for advertisement. Amateur athletes are not paid to perform, but it is quite legal for them to endorse any product they used in their individual competition and they get paid very handsomely for their endorsement. Is there an answer to this problem? Probably not just as long as the

Education is key to pet waste

(re: Dog owners need to pick up, Letters, Western News, July 31) I agree with Joe Schwarz, but, really, a pee bottle? How would you even do that manoeuvre ? Policing costs money as far as fining everyone and are you implying that mother-in-laws are responsible, or was that a stab at motherin-laws? The answer is educating the public, simple enough, no?

Western News Staff

Bearing down on the speeding boat, RCMP Reserve Const. Phil Boissonneault raises his arm, signalling the driver to throttle back and shut off the engine. As the two vessels come alongside each other, the officer explains his intentions of conducting a routine, marine check. In this instance everything is in order, the owner has all his paperwork, including operators licence and registration, as well as the required safety equipment, life jackets, fire extinguisher and safety tow line. Once the check is completed, Boissonneault signals his partner, Reserve Const. AJ MacKinnon, who’s operating the police boat and they head off across Skaha Lake in search of other vessels. “We’re not here to make life miserable for people; our focus is water safety,” said Boissonneault. “We issue a lot of warnings. We try to treat our enforcement program as an education program.” The two retired Mounties spend their time travelling throughout the region and their service augments the marine coverage of the individual detachments, many of which have their own boats. The checks are not just restricted to vessels with engines as one Calgary kayaker drifting in the middle of the lake found out. By the time his marine check was completed he wound up with a long list of items to look after before he took to the water again. According to Boissonneault, while most people are surprised at being stopped, unlike on a road where police need cause, boats are fair game any time, operators are usually very co-operative. “Most of them are really good about it,” said the officer. “I think they understand that we’re here basically to save lives and keep them safe.” While it is legal to have alcohol on a boat, police make sure there is not an excessive amount for the number of people on board. Penticton Staff Sgt. Dave Fayle noted in this area, police generally have fewer problems with those who use the lakes for recreation. “We haven’t seen it to be a reckless boating problem that I’m aware of,” he said. “We have the occasional thing but really compared to other places where there are a lot of visitors using the boats, here it’s mostly local people who are very respectful

of the law. “Most of our time on the water is usually spent with compliance-type things, making sure everybody has the right equipment etcetera.” The Penticton RCMP marine program doesn’t usually kick into high gear until the August long weekend however, this year due to priority of land-based duties, the only time the vessel has been used was for the Aug. 7 Snowbirds show over Okanagan Lake. Officers on board were not actually checking other watercraft but enforcing a no-boating zone below the area where the aircraft were flying. “It’s (manpower resources) an ongoing problem during the summer months which is our busy time of year,” said Fayle. “We can’t take people from the front lines to run the boat so we try to do it on some kind of enhanced resources either on an overtime or reschedule basis.”

He added the boat is always available for emergency situations and can be on either lake in a matter of minutes. Someone else who feels the staffing pinch this time of year is Sgt. Kevin Schur who heads the Osoyoos detachment. “This is a marine community,” he said. “Should we be out there (on the water) more? “Yes, we should but we just don’t have the resources, I wish we did. I would like to have it out there everyday.” In addition to the patrols, the detachment’s boat is also used for search and rescue and has already been called into service for that duty at least twice this year. “Having the boat is critical, a 24/7 thing for us,” said Schur. “We have lots of drunk drivers in boats and we need to deal with that, we have the border here that the lake crosses, and if somebody is in trouble in the water, if it’s not us, there’s nobody else.”

Dealers rev up United Way campaign Mark Brett

Western News Staff

Two city auto dealerships are teaming up to make a difference in the south Okanagan communities they serve. Until the end of September, Skaha Ford and Penticton Kia are running programs in support of the United Way and the Penticton Food Bank. “We’ve all needed a little help at certain times in our lives and the United Way does such good work,” said Jeff Gilbert, director of sales for the two businesses. “It helps the community and it’s the community that keeps us going. We’re in business because of the people here and we want to make sure we do our part to help out.” Gilbert ran similar fundraisers during his time working at a Kelowna auto dealer, generating between $7,500 and $10,000 each year. For the United Way, the Penticton companies are donating $50 from the sale of each vehicle. The program began Aug. 1 at Skaha Ford and kicks in Sept. 1 at Penticton Kia. “I think everybody likes to be able to help a little bit, it’s a feelgood thing,” said the sales director. “We don’t push it hard, we’re going to do it whether the customer wants to do it or not, it’s just an important thing. “It’s not about going out there and attracting customers to come here because we’re going to donate $50, we’re doing it because it’s good for the community and it’s the right thing to do.” Gilbert added he would be happy to raise between $5,000 and $6,000 this first time around. The money will be presented at the second annual Penticton Lakeside Drive Thru Breakfast for United Way on Oct. 17. Not surprisingly, someone else who was happy with news of the fundraising plans is Marla O’Brien, Executive Director of the United Way of the Central and South Okanagan Similkameen. “This is just fabulous and we’re just so glad that companies like Skaha Ford and Penticton Kia are on board,” she said. “Last year in Penticton the drive through raised $8,000 and they (dealerships) could help potentially double that, which would be fabulous.”

DiRectoR of sAles Jeff Gilbert of skaha ford and Penticton Kia and Marla o’Brien, executive director of the United Way of the central and south okanagan similkameen, share some cash at skaha ford this week. the two dealerships are donating partial proceeds from the sale of each vehicle to the United Way.

Mark Brett/Western News

O’Brien added there is also the potential with these events to spark challenges among other businesses. “I think a lot of companies are realizing there are some benefits of having some proceeds go back into helping those who live and work there,” she said. “Many of the community organizations that we support in the south Okanagan are able to do so much with so very little, they can stretch every lit bit so far. “This will definitely go a long way to help.”

For someone suffering from a lack of rest, the newest Miss Penticton was perfectly perky prior to her first public appearance. “I didn’t sleep last night,” Annaka Ramsay confessed Saturday morning while awaiting the start of her ride aboard a float in the Peter Bros. Grand Parade that highlighted the Peach Festival. The 17-year-old claimed the title at a pageant event Friday night. Ramsay will soon begin Grade 12 at Penticton Secondary School, where she’s active in sports, and works at Loco Landing, which sponsored her for the contest. She said entering the competition was not something she seriously considered until she attended an organizational meeting, which made the process sound like fun. “I didn’t think I was going to like it as much as I did, but then I got so much out of it,” said Ramsay, who noticed improvements in her confidence, social skills, public speaking and performance abilities. “On talent night I played my guitar and

Ramsay accepted her crown from Kelsey Laing, last year’s Miss Penticton. “It was unbelievable. There was lots of travelling and I got to experience lots of new things,” Laing said of her reign. “Just so many opportunities I never thought I’d have before.” She graduated this spring from Princess Margaret Secondary School and plans to spend the next year working, before enrolling in college that will set her on a path to becoming a police officer. Laing wrote letters to the new Miss Penticton and her two princesses to encourage them to enjoy every moment of their time as Penticton ambassadors and help them prepare for what lies ahead. “I think she doesn’t really know what she’s in for yet, because right now it’s all glitz and glam,” Laing said, “but it’s a lot of hard work, which I’m sure she’ll soon figure out.” The 2013 princesses are Miss Downtown Penticton Association Sydney Wood and Miss La Casa Ouzeria Grayce Overhill. Amanda Aantjes, sponsored by the Penticton Speedway, was voted Miss Congeniality.

NAME:

Two years ago, actress Nicola Cavendish decided she was finished with Shirley Valentine. It didn’t quite happen that way, though she did do a final tour in 2012 with the one-woman play about the desperate Liverpool housewife she has portrayed, to critical acclaim, since 1989. But Shirley, and Nicola, are back once more, for two final, final performances in her hometown of Penticton. “Tickets are selling really well, they’re virtually gone, so that is an accomplishment right there. Now it is up to me to keep them in their seats,” said Cavendish. The two shows on Saturday — at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the Oasis United Church — will be special ones, done as a fundraiser at the request of a friend battling Lou Gehrig’s Disease. “It’s nice that I am finishing finally, here, my hometown. We will have to put cement shoes on Shirley Valentine and throw her into Okanagan Lake,” said Cavendish, who was 37 when it all began. “This role came along and dropped itself into my lap and since then, it’s been a glory ride. Absolutely an extraordinary experience over the past 24 years.” Cavendish said Shirley Valentine is beautifully written and it tells a wonderful story that people love to hear, but now feels it’s not for her to continue. “I just know it’s not my turn anymore to keep telling the story, it’s for other people. It’s a beautiful story and it will always be around and somebody will always want to do it,” she said. While it’s not the only role Cavendish has played, it’s one she has returned to again and again. “Somebody actually had the insanity to go count the numbers over the years and it was something like 823 performances as of last May. So if you add two more for Penticton on to that, and round it up to 825,” said Cavendish. Shirley Valentine is a play by Willy Russell, telling the story

of a Liverpool housewife before and after a transformative vacation. According to Cavendish, Russell wrote the play by drawing on his experience working as a hair stylist and listening to the ladies in his chair. During breaks, he would go make notes, putting it together for a writing course he was taking. “Then for his very first play writing exercise, he submitted this play,” said Cavendish. “There is nothing better than the words that come out of the mouths of the people who lived the story.” Though the play is a comedy, it does look at the darker parts of life.

“The darkness is peppered and kept buoyant by the very levity that comes out of that self deprecating humour that the women in his chairs would spill forth,” said Cavendish. “She is drinking her wine throughout the course of Act 1. It relaxes her and like with anybody, your guard drops and you begin to speak to deeper truths, which is the power of the piece.” That core of the play is what has kept Cavendish in love with the role over the years. “She is a very likeable character, she speaks into the hearts and knowledge of everyone. It’s about marriage, it’s about when marriage turns sour. And it is about what we do with what life we are given,” said Cavendish.

Traditional music back in town Western News Staff

The Princeton Traditional Music Festival is back for its sixth year this weekend with new and old performers. “Every year brings something different,” said Jon Bartlett, organizer of the free three-day festival. Past years have featured a variety of cultural themes, from the Scottish songs and tunes of the early founders of Princeton to the music of the eastern European immigrants who settled in the Similkameen. This year, Bartlett said they are continuing that theme, but travelling farther aﬁeld. “We feature belly dancing, music for the oud (a Middle Eastern type of

lute), and we even have a musician from Samarkand in Uzbekistan, who is an expert Qashqar Rubab player,” he said. These musicians join dozens of others bringing Celtic tunes, shanties, Canadian logging, ﬁshing and mining songs, and songs from England, Ireland and Scotland. The festival takes place in downtown Princeton from Aug. 16 to Aug. 18 with street dance at 6:30 p.m Friday, with music from two bands. The festival is kept free with all the performers and organizers volunteering their services. “This is what traditional music is all about,” said Bartlett. “It’s skilled, varied, community-based and free.” For more information, visit the website at princetontraditional.org.

A modern-day Jane Austen Barack Obama said of the Trayvon Martin shooting in Florida: It could have been my son. It could have been me 35 years ago. Black people in America don’t want to have to think about race, but are forced to when everyday living means being followed in department stores and hearing car doors lock as they walk down the street. So what’s it like for a Nigerian immigrant, who has never thought of herself as black, but simply a person, to move to the United States? In Americanah, a sweeping new epic by the Nigerian-American author Chimimanda Ngozi Adichie, Ifemelu jumps at a chance to leave Nigeria to attend an American university. In Nigeria, people are well-educated. It’s just the choicelessness to become what you want that has young people clamouring to leave. Britain, and especially America, are promised lands of freedom where possibilities appear endless.

Heather Allen Armchair Book Club

But once in the Unites States, Ifemelu quickly learns that all is not what it seems. Being an African immigrant is especially challenging. She isn’t accepted as a black American; she doesn’t have parents who remember having to step off the curb when a white person walked by. Yet, by strangers, she is treated the same. It is illegal for Ifemelu to work, but she has to ﬁnd a way to pay her rent. Forced into demeaning work, and expected to be grateful for it, saps her dignity. The loss of pride causes Ifemelu to cut ties with her one true love, Obinze, who has had to remain in Nigeria.

Americanah is an important a novel, written by a literary powerhouse. Adichie, the author of three previous novels, won the Orange Prize and many other accolades for Half a Yellow Sun, which dramatized the Biafran war. Americanah is a modern-day Jane Austen -- not because it follows a Pride and Prejudice plot line – but because if Austen were alive today, this is exactly how she would tell this story. As with Austen, social issues lurk in the background of a love story. Nigerian romances aren’t ruined by class divides and family inheritances, but by outside forces such as visa applications, deportations and the number of passports you hold. This book is a convincing depiction of both Nigeria and America, and at the same time is poignantly humorous and thought-provoking. No matter your background, after reading Americanah, you won’t see the world the same again.

Taking pride in wine Western News Staff

The Okanagan Wine Festivals Society and the Okanagan Pride Society have joined forces to hilight B.C. wine with Viva Las Pride Friday in Kelowna, as part of that city’s pride festival. “Pride tourism has a multimillion dollar economic impact across North America. Events in large cities such as Vancouver and Toronto attract hundreds of thousands of attendees and while Kelowna is a smaller centre, we see it as being a destination Pride Festival due to the draw of wineries, beaches, and attractive summer playground activities,” said Wilbur Turner, president of the Okanagan Pride Society. “We are excited to launch Viva Las Pride as part of a Wine and Pride package that will appeal to locals as well as Pride tourists.” The pairing of the two societies is a ﬁrst in Canada, and the wine tasting will be in a Las Vegas style setting from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at the Laurel Packinghouse in Kelowna on Aug. 16. Proceeds from the event fund ongoing Pride Society programs, including a new youth program called Etcetera.

B.C. wine and the Okanagan Pride Festival are a natural pairing. — Blair Baldwin

“B.C. wine and the Okanagan Pride Festival are a natural pairing; the LGBT community are afﬂuent wine enthusiasts who consume adult beverages in much greater frequency than the general population,” said Blair Baldwin, general manager of the Okanagan Wine Festivals Society. “We’re thrilled to have local wine featured so prominently in this year’s Pride Festival. Given the tremendous popularity of a similar festival in Sonoma, we’re hoping to build a comparable following with Pride tourists from across North America here in Kelowna.” Viva Las Pride will feature 24 member wineries of the Okanagan Wine Festivals pour-

ing fresh summer wines while guests can enjoy a Las Vegas themed night aided by Lake City Casinos. In addition to enjoying a wine tasting, attendees will be able to play blackjack and poker for chances to win prizes while being entertained by “go go boys,” burlesque dancers and lively music. Following Viva Las Pride will be a spectacular after-party drag competition and show, with local and internationally renowned judges. “The wineries of the Okanagan Wine Festivals are certainly looking forward to this innovative event,” said Judi Skinner, marketing manager of Dirty Laundry Vineyard. “We think it’s important to ensure Pride tourism is recognized and besides, they love B.C. wines.” Tickets for Viva Las Pride are on sale at www.selectyourtickets.com or 250-7175304. Admission is $25 with wine samples available to purchase at the event. This is a Safe Ride Home Event sponsored by Valley First Insurance and B.C. Liquor Stores.

Enderby becomes Tomorrowland for new film Western News Staff

Steve Kidd

Despite some hopeful rumours, don’t expect to see George Clooney, Hugh Laurie or any of the cast of Tomorrowland shooting in Summerland over the next month. “I think people are confusing it with my name,” said Jon Summerland, the Okanagan film commissioner. All the scenes for Tomorrowland will be shot around Enderby, starting on Aug. 19. “We have had a shoot there (Summerland) already this year, and we have another one looking, but they’re not in the same realm,” said Summerland. “They are Lifetime channel movie of the weeks, which are still great, they employ a lot

of people and they’re fabulous, but there is no George Clooney.” So, unless Clooney decides to come visit the Penticton Farmers Market or other area attractions, people in the South Okanagan are unlikely to catch a glimpse. He should be easy to spot though, if he does do some touring; he’ll be the guy wearing dark sunglasses and sweating under a bushy false beard. But there is hope, Summerland said, for some star sightings in the South Okanagan next year. “There is definitely a very large movie on the heels of this very large movie that is looking predominantly down south. It probably won’t book until February, and shoot in April/May,” he said adding that it is just

as high profile as Tomorrowland. “They aren’t just sort of looking, they’ve been here a number of times.” Tomorrowland, according to Summerland, is something of a breakthrough movie for the Okanagan film industry. Even though he has a long history in the film industry, Summerland admits he was awestruck of the group that came through for the final location scout. “There were 21 of them and every one of them had won Oscars,” said Summerland. “This was not a small boutique company. This was the guys. If you think of a movie that you love, one of the guys in that group worked on that movie.” Summerland drove them all over the region including the South Okanagan, but it was Ender-

by that had the look and feel they wanted. “We want this to showcase our area, because this is it. This is the one that is going to take us to the next level,” said Summerland. “It is a major production and if they have a pleasant experience here, who knows.” The region is getting more attention from the film industry, Summerland said, with more productions planning to shoot here all the time. “The Okanagan is getting almost too big for my little budget to handle. I’ve got two films scouting, one film shooting, and another one where the director is in town with a scout,” said Summerland. “That’s the way it’s been all year, we’ve had non stop activity. But it gets expensive for a tiny little budget like this.”

Local looking to hang onto bull Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Thirty top bull riders are looking to last eight seconds on bulls determined to fling them off. The riders are competing for a piece of the $6,500 purse offered in the Summerland Pro Bullriding Stampede being held Saturday. Among the group is Penticton’s Chad Eneas, who has been riding bulls for 20 years. He is excited to compete near home and when asked what he looks forward to, Eneas said, “keeping my hand in the rope and staying on.” Eneas will be in the long and short go events and hopes to be in the top six. For family reasons, he hasn’t competed in many events the last few years, but said when he has, the results have been positive. “It should be good,” said Eneas, who travelled to Vernon for an event in the spring. “There is going to be lots of thrills. It’s going to be real fast paced. It’s going to be exciting. I’ve ridden at Summerland before, you are right up in the action.” Eneas’ approach is simple, he makes sure he’s mentally prepared adding that bull riding is 80 per cent mental and 20 per cent physical. He’s proud of the fact that he can still outrun an 18-year-old. “It makes me feel competitive, like I still have something to offer,” said Eneas. “Look for them bulls to be ready. It’s going to be a good show.” Organizer Matt Darmody likes the number of riders saying it will provide for a “good couple hours of entertainment.” Darmody said as the event nears, there is good hype and plenty of talk. As of Wednesday, nearly 1,500 tickets had sold for the grounds that seat 3,000. In talking about Eneas, Darmody described him as a “hot rider.” Also competing is Penticton’s Shane Greenhaugh and Marlow Williams

It should be good. There is going to be lots of thrills. It’s going to be real fast paced. It’s going to be exciting. I’ve ridden at Summerland before, you are right up in the action. — Chad Eneas

of Mount Currie — 40 kilometres northwest of Whistler, who has won his share of events. The day features bull fights, bull boxing, bull poker and mounted shooting. Riders are coming from B.C., Alberta and Australia as part of the Bull Riders Canada circuit. “There is plenty of entertainment,” said Darmody to the Western News in July. “Thrills and spills. Bull riding is a pretty popular thing in North America. The quality of bulls just keeps getting better and better. Riders have to keep strong.” The event is supported with sponsorship from Prairie Coast Equipment, Okanagan Dodge and Nesters Market. Tickets can be purchased for the pre-sale price of $15 at the 24/7 in Penticton, the Visitor Info Centre in Summerland and Lammle’s Western Wear and Tack in West Kelowna in Westbank Shopping Centre. Gates open at 3 p.m. and the action begins at 5 p.m.

PENTICTON’S Chad Eneas hangs on for the full eight-second ride on this bull en route to a second place finish in the annual Keremeos Elks Rodeo. Eneas will be among the 30 bullriders in the Summerland Pro Bullriding Stampede on Saturday.

Megan Admussen-Blair and Danielle Ruocco said competing with the under-16 girls provincial basketball team as a great experience. The pair of Princess Margaret Mustangs played in six tournaments from mid May to late July. Admussen-Blair said the teams they faced were stronger and more competitive than what she’s used to in league play with the Mustangs. Playing post, Admussen-Blair became a better player. “I feel like I can drive to the hoop and post up better,” said Admussen-Blair, who took in the Penticton Basketball camp this week. “My dribbling skills are way better.” Ruocco said she learned a lot from playing with the team and that they earned good results. “We finished third in Las Vegas (Ballin’ in the Ballroom) and we did pretty good in all the other tournaments,” she said.

DANIELLE RUOCCO, left, and Megan AdmussenBlair gained valubale experience and became better playing with B.C.’s under-16 girls team during the summer.

Ruocco and Admussen-Blair loved playing in Las Vegas as the gym was downstairs in the Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort. They both enjoyed the convenience walking from their room to the gym, instead of taking a bus. As for the coaching, Ruocco said it was good. She said head coach Paul Chiarenza and his assistants of Leanne Evans and Montanna Howe possessed a lot of knowledge. While they were strict with practices, they still kept it fun.

Among the 50-plus teams playing in the 16th annual Peach City Classic soccer tournament is the UBC Thunderbirds women’s team. Coached by Andrea Neil, the T-birds began their training camp in Penticton Wednesday evening. Pinnacles FC keeper coach Tom Gill worked with the T-Birds goalies. “It’s an honor for us to be asked to help with coaching,” said board member for Pinnacles FC, Manuel Borba. Neil, who represented Canada in four FIFA World Cups and is the second player in Canadian history to record 100 caps, came to Penticton six years ago and that started a relationship with the soccer association. “For us, it gives us a chance to sit

and watch,” said Borba, of learning from the T-Birds. The T-Birds went for swims at Okanagan Lake, had taping sessions followed by training sessions at Kings Park. They return to UBC on Sunday after their game. The Peach City Classic begins Friday and features players in the age groups of under-11 to 18. The action kicks off with an under-14 girls game at Kings Park 1 at 3:30 p.m. On Saturday, the under-16 girls start at 8:30 a.m., while Sundays action begins at 8:30 a.m. with four regular games before the finals. The T-Birds have an intersquad game Sunday at 10 a.m. at Kings Park 2.

Cradling, passing, catching and picking up a ball are skills that lay the foundation to become a lacrosse player. That is what coach Naomi Walser was teaching a group of 18 kids during the morning of the Penticton Indian Band lacrosse camp held Aug.13 and 14. “When they can do those four skills, they can play lacrosse anytime, anywhere,” said Walser. “I’m kind of excited about the fact anytime they pick up a stick they can try something new with it. From here they have all sorts of tools they can pull out of their pocket.” Most of the kids in the group were using a stick for the first time. Walser said the kids were grasping the skills after a few hours. Walser took pleasure in their quick development. Among the newcomers was Lanae Arcand,

everything about the camp. “I wanted to improve my passing and it is getting better,” said Kenoras, who started playing because of his brother. Walser also worked with a group of older kids, four of whom just attended the North American Indigenous Games Aboriginal Team

B.C. camp for under-16. Walser, a member of the Midland Ontario Sports Hall of Fame, showed the group plays away from the ball to help raise their skills, especially to create chances as players think about shooting while they have the ball. “That is where you can take your game to

SFU coach helps hoopsters improve Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

After 13 years of instructing the girls section of the Penticton Basketball Camp, Bruce Langford isn’t fixing what’s not broken. “I don’t think we change it up as much as we do build and add some things,” said Langford, coach of the Simon Fraser University Clan women’s team, of the fourday camp that began Monday. “The goal is to learn a few things every year and add that to what we do.” The important things that Lanford and his 10 players, who came from SFU, taught are the fundamentals so the players can work on things themselves. Langford said the only way that anybody becomes a better player is by getting in the gym every single morning, year round. What Langford likes about the 78 kids in camp is they are keen. Many have been to the camp before and he said it’s nice to see familiar faces. “It’s nice to be in the gym

with enthusiastic, keen kids every morning,” he said, while they performed a drill. One of them is Penticton’s Emily Clarke, who attended her fifth camp. The Grade 12 Pen High student said it’s great and she likes how it starts with simple drills. “Even if you are a really good player, after the four days you are a more developed player,” she said. “Really, I love the competition here that you get. You can improve on every aspect like ball handling and shooting. I love the coaches. There is a great team atmosphere here. Everyone is here to work hard.” Bree Phelps, a Grade 9 student from Mission, came because she liked the camp after participating when she was in her Grade 7 year. Her focus was to improve her dribbling and shooting skills. She also looked forward to playing and scrimmaging. Phelps said the skills of the players at camp are good and she strived to match them.

One Person seeking support for Kahama Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

While sports isn’t the only focus for the One Person Project helping kids in East Africa, it is key. The One Person Project believes in sport for development as an effective tool to help improve the lives of children, families and communities. The volunteerdriven organization made its first trip to Kahama, Tanzania, in February 2008 with a 12-metre container. During that trip they brought supplies in 94 boxes that included uniforms and sports equipment. Last month, six members of the One Person Project went and distributed soccer uniforms and balls to a small number of schools in Kahama. “We find that sup-

sports, the fitness and the team building, there is the added benefit that they are staying in school and they are getting the extra HIV/Aids education.” Some schools in Tanzania allow girls to

take part in soccer but they primarily play netball. The One Person Project ensures that half of the uniforms be given to netball teams. The One Person Project receives support by soc-

Vees making offer for youth Western News Staff

A new season ticket incentive has been launched by the Penticton Vees for children and youth in the South Okanagan. Vees president Fred Harbinson said it’s important to get younger fans interested in the team. “We have received a tremendous amount of interest from families outside of minor hockey and we want to make watching Vees hockey as affordable as possible,” said Harbinson. “We need to grow the game and this is one step in getting younger people engaged with our sport.” The new promotion allows children and youth aged four to 17 to receive a free season’s pass if their parent/ guardian buys one of the three season ticket packages for the 2013-2014 season (single-parent families only need to buy a season ticket. Children three and under are free).

LANGFORD - Kids can play With the help of Langford’s coaching, she used the week to prepare for a new season. Langford, who guided the Clan to a Sweet 16 appearance in the National Collegiate Athletic Association during their first year of Division II playoff eligibility, said there are several players in the camp who can play at the college or university level. “There are many serious girls here who could play in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport,” said Langford. “Certainly B.C. college and some of them in the NCAA.” “Some of the things they do are very good already,” he said. He said the goal of the camp is to make them love basketball and give them the skillset they can work and build on. Do you know someone who should be nominated for

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK?

Email sports editor Emanuel Sequeira information and a photo to: sports@pentictonwesternnews.com Info should by sent by Monday at 5 p.m.

The Vees have introduced three pricing levels, with fans having the option to buy a $149, $169 or a $199 package for the 2013-2014 season. The three pricing levels are based on designated sections in the South Okanagan Events Centre. Families have until Aug. 26 to take advantage of this incentive. After that, season ticket pricing reverts back to regular pricing levels from the 20122013 season. The Vees also introduced a payment plan for wouldbe season ticket buyers. A 25 per cent deposit is required upon submitting your season ticket application. However, fans have the option to pay the remaining balance of their season ticket over three equal payments. To qualify for the payment plan for this new ticket initiative, parents must purchase their season tickets by Aug. 26. For more information on this ticket program, contact the Vees season ticket hotline at 250-809-1390 or email fraserrodgers@gmail.com

cer associations as well as individual families and businesses. Whittaker said Sherwood Trophies engraved some trophies and medals for them in Swahili. “We had a soccer

tournament over there between the teams,” she said. “They were presented with medals and cups.” Whittaker said donations make a positive impact. “There is still a long ways to go,” she said, adding that they have a common ground with soccer. With more people to reach, the organization is returning in early 2014 with another container. Volunteers from the organization are busy collecting items from the community and raising money. “The more the better,” she said, adding the the cost to purchase and ship a container is $18,000. “We have dances and events and fundraisers throughout the year. Any donations are welcome.”

The organization is also looking for volunteers and they can provide opportunities for any interest people have. Anyone interested in donating or volunteering can reach Denise Whittaker by phone at 250-460-0565 or email at denisewh@telus.net.
