COUNCIL RESTORES TAX-EXEMPT STATUS Steve Kidd Western News Staff
Council has once again backed away from denying service groups a municipal tax exemption, at least for three groups who appealed their ranking. The groups — the Salvation Army food bank and thrift stores, the Senior’s Drop-in Centre and the South Okanagan Brain Injury Society — had their tax exemption renewed after making their case at the regular council meeting Monday. But council didn’t stop at returning the groups to tax-exempt status. They also decided to take another look at the permissive tax exemption policy and the arbitrary cutoff of $100,000 in working capital. Mayor Garry Litke also wanted to see the timeframe extended. “I wouldn’t mind seeing something about a three-year decision, so we don’t have to do this year after year. Once the exemption is made, if that is part of our policy, then people can relax about it for some period of time,” said Litke. While the Salvation Army’s church remained exempt, with $600,000 in the bank, their food bank and thrift stores were originally denied the exemption. “It looks like we have lots of money but we don’t,” said the Salvation Army’s Major Dave Sobool, noting the units are not for profit and provide a valuable source of food, clothing and household items to those needing assistance. In the past several years, said Sobool, the cost of providing the services is increasing faster than the increase in income from donations and fundraising drives. Most of the income comes at Christmas, with about $400,000 a year going through the food bank. “When the (fiscal) year end comes, if we don’t have $200,000 left in the bank, we’ve done a really bad job, because we won’t make it to the end of the year,” said Sobool, pointing out the thrift stores also operate at a loss.
Coun. Wes Hopkin wanted to know at what point Sobool thought service organizations should start paying taxes, with an eye to revisiting the city policy. “There are costs to running the city that need to be borne by everyone. If non-profits don’t pay for some of the services they consume, then the rest of the city has to take up the slack,” said Hopkin. “I am hoping we are putting a lot more in than we are taking out,” said Sobool, pointing out that if the operation were small enough to run out of their church, the city wouldn’t be asking for the tax. It’s a matter of the scale of the operation, he explained. “We are only bigger than that because the demand is bigger. We don’t want the demand to be bigger, you don’t want the demand to be bigger, but there is a reality in life that food banks are a growing need in our community,” said Sobool. Don Wilson, representing the South Main Drop-In Centre, pointed out that many cities fund and run their own seniors’ centres, while in Penticton their non-profit group handles that, in a building built on city-owned land leased to them for $1 a year. “If we weren’t providing these services, the cost to the community would probably be significantly more than the taxes,” said Patti MacAhonic executive director of SOSBIS. Her sentiments were echoed by James Palanio, a past president of the organization. “This exemption affects all of the citizens of the city of Penticton. By taking the money away, it takes programs away. It puts people back out on the street,” said Palanio. “It’s not us that is benefiting, it is the entire community that is benefitting.” Council voted unanimously to return all three groups to tax-exempt status. They also were unanimous in support of a motion from Hopkin, who suggested a review of the permissive tax exemption policy and the creation of a working group with not only council and staff, but representatives from affected organizations.

Safety Susie takes another hit at Parkway Elementary Mark Brett and Steve Kidd Western News Staff
Parkway Elementary’s plywood crossing guard, Safety Susie, is once again out of service thanks to a hit-and-run driver. “I think it happened (Monday) between 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. but unfortunately nobody saw who did it, we just saw her lying on the road in pieces,” said school principal Kelly Jones shortly after the incident. “I don’t know how fast the person was going but she is split right at her chest and at her waist and of course the piping is busted as well. “I’m losing count. But this has got to be the fourth or fifth time,” Jones said about the number of times Safety Susie and the other wooden guard have been hit. Susie still has a number of bolts and screws from the last repair job, and her male counterpart, who alerts drivers on the east side of the crossing, is permanently confined to a wheelchair and wears a neck brace from his previous accidents. More seriously, several years ago a female student crossing guard was injured when the driver of a vehicle misjudged his turning radius and ran over her feet. At that point the human crossing guard program was cancelled and the plywood replacements took over on the front lines. “This is really disappointing to have this happen again and although it’s hard to say
how fast they were going, obviously they weren’t paying attention,” said Jones. “You shouldn’t be hitting something in the middle of a crosswalk if you’re paying attention. If this is the fifth time, we’ve only had one person actually stop and own up to it.” The school has had an ongoing problem with speeding and careless drivers and only this year had a speed-reader board installed. Along with the reader board, Jones asked city council to consider speed bumps and delineators which slow traffic by narrowing the road width. Because he believed council was going ahead with both measures, Jones was using plastic warning cones as temporary delineators, but did not do so Monday after learning only the speed bumps were being installed. “So I thought OK, I’m not going to keep putting out pylons because that will skew the results if they want to find out if speed bumps alone will work,” he said. “So low and behold, somebody sped through and hit our girl. So maybe this shows they do need the pylons.” Rather than putting in all the items at once, city staff is following a suggestion made by Coun. Wes Hopkin at a September meeting when council endorsed the plan. Hopkin said if all the work was done at once, the city wouldn’t know if it was the speed humps or the road narrowing that was effective. “We looked at it and said, ‘Yes, we can

Mark Brett/Western news
do that,’” Mitch Moroziuk, city director of operations, said Monday. “The speed humps will be going in soon, then the delineators will follow. They just have to be screwed into the
road.” Speed humps will be going in at three locations: the crosswalk and the entrances to the school zones. “We’re going to want to let it run for a month and see what happens before taking the next step,” said Moroziuk. “We’re going to monitor it and see how it works.” Moroziuk’s response to the destruction of the wooden crossing marker was simply that was the reason the city was implementing this project. If the temporary delineators are effective permanent ones will be installed and considered for other school zones with chronic speeding problems. For his part, Jones is just hoping to find a solution to the problem although he does feel the use of delineators has an added bonus. “They also prevent people from parking in those no-parking areas that block your vision of the crosswalks,” he said. “I’m a little disappointed they’re not going ahead with both but if speed bumps work and it does slow people down then that’s great.” He had planned to report the latest incident to the RCMP as well. That section of Kinney Avenue is a popular alternative route for motorists accessing or exiting the Channel Parkway at Warren Avenue West. The school speed zone of 30 kilometres per hour is in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on school days.
naramata fire chief questions shortcomings in safety audit Joe Fries
Western News Staff
Naramata’s new fire chief is puzzled by a lack of paperwork that was partly responsible for a local government not making the grade on a voluntary safety audit. The third-party audit of the Regional District of OkanaganSimilkameen in April included interviews with 25 employees, plus site visits to eight peripheral organizations like the Kaleden and Naramata fire halls and the Keremeos recreation centre. The auditor’s report notes the RDOS scored most poorly on overall safety program administration, including a finding that “although regular meetings and safety discussions are scheduled, an average of only 53 per cent are completed as required.” At the Naramata fire hall, the auditor discovered “a critical lack of documentation of equipment maintenance.” “Maintenance logs for seven
vehicles ... were reviewed and no entries had been made since 2011. Ladder certifications expired in March 2012 and were not yet scheduled for 2013,” the auditor wrote. Naramata fire chief Tony Trovao disputes the findings. “There definitely was some documentation that they said wasn’t provided, but it was here. It was just a matter of asking for it,” said Trovao, who was named chief in September and wasn’t present for the audit. “With regard to trucks, they’re government-inspected every year. They don’t get insured unless they’re road-worthy,” he continued, noting their upkeep is “mechanically perfect.” Auditor Dean Sinclair said in an interview he could only score the department based on the paperwork presented to him. “I’m not saying those records didn’t exist; I’m just saying I didn’t see them,” said Sinclair. Karla Kozakevich, the RDOS director for Naramata, said despite
the documentation issues, she has confidence in the fire department. “It isn’t a concern to me in that I know we have a very safe and dedicated group of volunteers there,” Kozakevich said. “Yes, in some categories we didn’t do a good enough job with record-keeping, so they do need to have some assistance from the RDOS.” The report did note, however, that 24 of 25 workers interviewed were able to describe their health and safety responsibilities, while 22 of them also said supervisors lead by example. Site visits confirmed that. “A supervisor at the water treatment plant and the OK Falls parks supervisor were observed wearing correct (personal protective equipment) and using seat belts while driving. At the fire departments, captains were wearing correct turnout gear during the practice,” the report said. “No supervisors were observed not leading by example.”
The voluntary audit cost the RDOS $10,815 and was a follow-up to one completed in 2010 through a program offered by the B.C. Municipal Safety Association. The successful audit granted the RDOS a Certificate of Recognition that saved it $31,000 on WorkSafeBC premiums over the next three years. It was the first local government in B.C. to earn the distinction. On the 2013 audit, however, the RDOS scored just 55 per cent, below the 80 per cent threshold for re-certification. The RDOS initially refused to release the full audit report, but relented last week. Spokesman Andrew Stuckey then arranged to make administrators available for interviews Friday, but later rescinded the offer. “Upon review of the article placed on the Western News website yesterday and published (Friday), I see little value in participating in (a) joint interview exercise this morning. I have conferred with my colleagues and they concur,”

Stuckey wrote in an email. He did not return calls seeking further explanation. RDOS board chairman Mark Pendergraft acknowledged some staff and directors were upset by news articles stating the organization failed the voluntary audit. “I guess it’s not totally inaccurate to say the RDOS failed the safety report, but it by no means portrays the regional district isn’t a safe place to work. It’s just that we haven’t met that extra standard, is all,” he said. Pendergraft said staff are working on a 58-point action plan to address shortcomings identified by the audit, and the board will consider additional measures to support that work and its peripheral groups during budget deliberations this winter. “The regional district does truly value all the volunteers in all the organizations that are out there and helping us,” Pendergraft added.

Repairs are going smoothly to a radio reflector dish damaged during a flight to the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory last week. On Monday, technicians using an airbag system were able to pop the 195-square-metre structure back into shape. “Because of this (repair) it is definitely not as bad as we first thought,” said project manager Gary Hovey. “In a weird way we may actually come out ahead. “I wouldn’t do it again but now we’re taking advantage of being able to demonstrate what we feel is the robustness of the whole design and how it can be fixed even after it has been damaged significantly.” Other repairs include fixing several large cracks in the thin, metalized carbon-fibre surface. The damage happened while the reflector was being delivered by helicopter from its manufacturing site in Okanagan Falls several kilometres away. “People in other parts of the project who saw the event Thursday were dismayed, thinking we wouldn’t bounce back but I think we’ll bounce back just fine,” said Hovey. He has since received congratulatory emails about the durability of the material under such extreme conditions. The dish is a prototype reflector for the billion-dollar multinational Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project. When completed it will be the largest telescope in the world. “I think we are back on track,” said DRAO director Sean Dougherty this week. “I’m reasonably confident we’re looking good. “We’ve probably set ourselves back three to four weeks but the cost is not significant.” Work on the project has been underway for a number of years and may eventually pay big dividends financially and scientifically. Canada is one of three countries working on similar proto-

Penticton tops in B.C. City makes large gains in annual business ranking Steve Kidd
Western News Staff
Penticton just scored some more bragging rights, business-wise, to add to the recent Open for Business award the city received last month. The city has made some significant gains in ranking in the latest Communities in Boom report from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, which was released Monday. “Penticton has broken the top 25 communities in Canada,” said Mayor Garry Litke. “We are now one of the top 25 entrepreneurial cities in Canada, and we have been ranked No. 1 in B.C. for small business. “That’s a huge jump over last year. Last year we were just behind Kelowna, 42nd in the country.” Penticton 2012 scores in the Communities in Boom report placed the city third in the province, behind Kelowna and Prince George. But the huge jump in the 2013 score not only bumped
Penticton to the top of the B.C. list, it pushed the city 17 rungs up the ladder to #25 in Canada. “We increased our scores in small business presence, perspective and policies and we are now ahead of larger centres like greater Vancouver,” said Litke, adding that the CFIB noted the reduction in red tape, improved access to city services, generally improved customer service as factors in the better score. Penticton scored 59.6 out of a possible 100 points, and strong scores in all three major categories, presence, perspective and policy. The top entrepreneurial city in Canada earned 67 points. Penticton also finished ahead of larger centres like Greater Vancouver, 41; and Calgary, 48; in addition to outperforming other cities from the B.C. Interior, including Kelowna, which ranked 28 this year, Vernon, 47; and Kamloops, 84. “A great deal of work has been done to make Penticton a friendly community for small business and entrepreneurs, and this CFIB report validates the city’s ef-
forts,” said Litke. This is the sixth Communities in Boom: Canada’s Top Entrepreneurial Cities report. The CFIB studied 107 municipalities with populations of 25,000 or more and ranked them based on 14 indicators in three main categories: presence, perspective and policy. Presence includes the representation of the scale and growth
of business ownership, as well as industrial diversity, while perspective covers indicators associated with optimism and growth plans. Policy indicators reflect the actions local governments have taken with respect to business taxation and regulation. “One of the surest signs of an entrepreneurial hot spot is the presence of a high concentration of en-
trepreneurs and a high business start-up rate,” wrote Ted Mallett, CFIB vice-president and chief economist, in the preface to the report. “It is also important that business owners have high levels of optimism and success in their operations. “Good public policy is also critical, so we look at the presence of supportive local government tax and regulatory policies.”

opinion
Nickel and dime speech Prime Minister Stephen Harper prorogued the 41st sitting of parliament to allow the Conservative government time to reset its priorities. The need to reset, Harper claimed, was because his government had successfully met most of the goals established in the previous speech from the throne. The last parliamentary sessions included the passing of two omnibus bills amending more than 50 laws such as the former Navigable Waters Act, and pushing the pension threshold for Old Age Security to 67 from 65 years of age. How these two amendments make Canada a better place to live is a mystery. Given the Conservative government had a month to reset their priorities, Canadians could be forgiven if they had high expectations regarding announcements addressing unemployment, health care, education, and senate reform. How disappointing then to listen to the throne speech last week indicating Harper and Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty decided to nickel and dime their way into the next election. Forcing cable companies to offer individual channels and wireless companies to cap roaming charges will not put more Canadians to work, will not improve health care, or education, or anything for that matter. Harper and Flaherty are sticking to their job training program, a program they gave to the provinces then decided to take back. Meanwhile, 7.2 per cent of Canadians are unemployed. In 2000 that number was six per cent. PENTICTON WESTERN But given the speech from the throne, it appears Harper knows unemployed Canadians would rather have simpler cable packages and a cap on roaming charges, that is once they find a job. Maybe with the new EU trade pact they can head over to Europe to find employment.

B.C. oil spill study misinterpreted The release of the B.C. government’s detailed study into oil spill response capability off the West Coast created the usual brief wave of media shock and horror. This just in! If crude oil spilled in the Dixon Entrance, the storm-tossed sea lane north of Haida Gwaii, the combined resources of Canadian and U.S. containment and collection response could only recover an estimated four per cent of it. And that’s in the summer! The winter recovery rate would be more like three per cent. Talk radio and website headlines set the narrative in minutes. How could anyone even consider running oil tankers through that pristine B.C. coastal area? It’s crazy! Here’s the big fact clearly stated in the study by U.S.-based Nuka Research and Planning Group, and ignored by most of the media and public.
There are hundreds of tankers filled with crude oil sailing through these stormy seas every year. It’s been going on since Alaska North Slope crude was developed in the 1970s. Six of the seven oil spill simulations run by Nuka are based on Alaska crude, because that’s overwhelmingly what has been shipped along B.C.’s North Coast for 40 years. This lack of crude oil spill response capability has existed the entire time, without a whisper of protest or media attention, even after the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster near the oil’s point of origin. The current narrative, hammered home by U.S.-controlled environmental groups and their aboriginal partners in the “Great Bear Rainforest,” is that only Canadian oil is a threat. How much Alaska crude is shipped down the B.C. coast? According to Nuka’s analysis, it’s currently
Tom Fletcher
B.C. Views about 38 million cubic metres each year. That’s enough to fill B.C. Place stadium to the roof – 15 times. The SierraGreenpeaceForestEthics-Dogwood gang, a sort of billionaire-bankrolled green Team America, has worked hard to promote the falsehood that “tar sands” oil is vastly worse than that nice fair-trade Alaska stuff. Their claims about acidity and abrasiveness of diluted bitumen didn’t hold up, and it’s still hotly contested whether the heavy oil in
diluted bitumen would float, emulsify or sink in actual sea conditions. When the federal government announced a study to determine what spilled bitumen would do in North Coast waters, that too was attacked by the Green Party as a secret scheme to prop up Enbridge’s pipeline proposal. So it’s a scandal when you don’t know the answers, and it’s a scandal when you try to find them. Another question that gets little attention is whether it’s better for spilled oil to sink rather than wash up on beaches. Crude oil is, if you’ll pardon the expression, organic. Spills produce a huge spike in oileating bacteria that leads to an increase in fish populations at a certain stage. This was documented in a 1994 book called Degrees of Disaster, written by an expert who stayed on in Valdez for four years, long
after the TV cameras and grandstanding politicians went home. Victoria-based Dogwood seized on a 2012 Nuka study done for the Haisla Nation at Kitimat, which found that in ocean conditions that are present more than half of the time, there would be no immediate way to respond to a spill at sea. Dogwood’s “no tankers campaign director” hinted that this information was intentionally left out of the B.C. government study, and the media ate it up. No tankers? Better check again. Dogwood’s mission is clearly not to protect the B.C. coast from oil spills. If it were, they would be protesting the ongoing risk from Alaska tankers.

Council decision inconsiderate
Though not an immediate citizen of your community, I do spend much time and money in Penticton. Thank you for the work you do. It is with deep regret and a great measure of disgust that I read in the Penticton Western News that your council has removed preferred tax status from several groups. In particular, my concern is for The Salvation Army food bank and thrift stores, since I know little of the others. For any city council to make life more difficult for a longtime, highly-valued organization that consistently gives out as much as it takes in is appalling. The most vulnerable in our society often only hang onto life by a thread because of the generous, ongoing, selfless giving of The Salvation Army, both through the food bank and the Army’s many other highly effective services, and there are no high-paid executives. The Salvation Army is supported largely by the generous volunteer donations of your taxpayers. Your city government is supported by the taxpayers. The manner in which a governing agency treats its most vulnerable citizens shouts loudly of the quality of that agency. Shame! I beg you, council, to reconsider the repercussions of your recent decision. Consider if The Salvation Army were no longer present in your community. Dianne Holland Okanagan Falls
Much to be thankful for
Thank you for the editorial on giving thanks. I look at it a bit differently than how you wrote it. Life is made up of the good, the not so good and those things that catch us unaware. If life were perfect then we would be
spared those horrible things like murders, miscarriages, marriages broken beyond the point of no return, etc. However, life has never been perfect as seen through the imperfect union of the noble ideal of the once new United States of America. We still have a lot to be thankful for despite the imperfect nature of this world we live in but is that true for everyone? Probably not, unfortunately. I think that life consists of everything we encounter and that it isn’t just what happens while we’re busy making other plans as I believe John Lennon wrote. I respect John Lennon as a writer, singer, songwriter but believe him to be all too cynical, though understandably so, much like the preacher in Ecclesiastes of the Bible. I’ve lived through much, though not like a world-war pilot or a mad adventurer in the Congo, and through the good and the bad I have come to see what life is, can be and may be. I have regrets yes, but I don’t let those regrets weigh me down as life is often far too short. Thanks again for your editorial.

Daisy Kapusta, has been a hair stylist for more than 30 years, and when a new recycling opportunity came along, she couldn’t resist. “I was like, wow, I want to do this,” said Kapusta of her initial reaction when she learned of the Green Circle Salons program. “We’re super excited, we all wanted to do this.” After paying an initial fee to participate in the program, Kapusta and her partners at Attitude Hair Designs, Dayna Maidens-Short and Ashley McWhirter, have embraced the program that recycles much of the waste produced by the hair salon. To participate in the recycling program, the various waste items, explained Kapusta, must be sorted and placed in appropriate waste bins. “It’s a little bit more work for us, but we don’t mind doing it, we think it’s great and we want to try and do our part,” said Kapusta. Green Circle collects the separate bins containing the foils and other metals, plastics, paper, chemicals and hair. The partners at Attitude Hair Design are busy enough that they fill up each of the containers, and seeing the waste going to recycling makes the effort worthwhile. “We all do it at

home, but our industry has been notoriously bad for polluting because everything goes into the trash,” said Kapusta. In addition to the recycling, Kapusta and her partners, are also impressed with some of the ways Green Circle repurposes the hair they collect. “Hair and recycled nylons for the creation of oil booms used in oil and chemical spills,” she reads from the
company’s information sheet. “That’s the biggest one that we’ve heard of.” With three stylists on duty, a lot of hair gets swept up in a day at Attitude Hair design said Kapusta, which makes participating in the program all the more worthwhile. Although the partners at Attitude Hair Design decided to pass on to their clients part of the cost of participating
in the program, their clients are supportive of the recycling program and have not balked at paying the extra $1.50 recycling charge. For the enthusiastic clients, Kapusta goes so far as to show them the bins. “That’s great,” Kapusta said is the most frequent answer when she tells her clients about the recycling program. “So far all of our clients have been on board.”

Multi-tasking skills put Milton into Top 40 Percy N. Hébert Western News Staff
To say Kerri Milton is a busy person would be an understatement, but it is a reality she handles with skill and aplomb. Milton, executive director of the Downtown Penticton Association is this week’s nominee to the Top 40 under 40 club organized by the Penticton & Wine Country Chamber of Commerce. “I was surprised, it’s so flattering,” said Milton of the recognition. “I feel honoured that someone thought to nominate me.” As executive director of the DPA since November 2012, Milton has had a busy year managing several projects. Looking back, Milton points to the acceptance of the Downtown Revitalization Project as her most significant accomplishment so far, a task she inherited and one which occupied much of her time up to last August when the plan was accepted. “It was a big process,” said Milton of the $1-million project. “The city covers 75 per cent and the landowners cover 25 per cent.” Milton also points to the recent win in the Benjamin Moore Main Street Matters program, where, based on votes, Penticton was selected as one of the winning communities. As a winner, a portion of downtown Penticton receives a makeover and Benjamin Moore provides the paint and other supplies to beautify building exteriors. The new paint job is expected to be completed next spring. Tyrion Miskell, a DPA board member, said she is impressed with what Milton has accomplished so far, as well as with where she wants to bring Penticton. “I can’t say enough about Kerri,” Miskell said. “I think she’s done a terrific job, she’s pretty fearless.” Prior to stepping into the executive director position, Milton was a general manager with Landmark Cinemas of Canada. Milton’s foray into the cinema business began in Saskatchewan in 2001, when she began as an assistant manager at a local theatre. This Milton admitted, was what she considers her big break. “I really enjoyed it and I learned a lot,” said Milton. “It’s a unique industry, so the business side is different from anything else.” After three years, Milton, born and
raised in Victoria, headed back to B.C. where she took a position as general manager with Landmark Cinemas of Canada which saw her manage the PenMar Cinema Centre while overseeing the construction of the new Landmark 7 cinema complex in Penticton. During that time, Milton earned an award from the National Association of Theatre Owners for top in-theatre marketing, which recognized her promotion of the movie Gunless at the Pen-Mar which included a re-enactment of an oldwest style bank heist and shootout. Working in the movie theatre industry, said Milton, honed her skills to adapt to change. “Everything changes very quickly,” said Milton. “That translates very well into this job (DPA executive director) because there are never two days that are the same.” Given the varied and quick pace of her job, Milton said being easy-going is an asset that allows her to roll with the punches. “I’m pretty easy-going, so I can roll with whatever comes down the pipeline,” she said with a laugh. “I’m a multi-tasker, which I think is super important to be able to maintain several projects that are all going simultaneously.” Miskell agreed, and described Milton as having a well-rounded skill set, and a particularly helpful knack. “She’s good at finding people for the task that needs to be done,” Miskell said. Despite her full plate, Milton also spends time volunteering with several community organizations, such as the South Okanagan Montessori School Society, Irish Dance Society, Autism Society and Penticton and Area Cooperative Enterprises, to name just a few. ”I think it’s really important to give back. I think I’m really lucky. I’ve been given a lot of opportunities and I appreciate them,” she said. “I think it’s really important to set an example for my kids as to what we can do. “I like the idea of community and being part of something that is bigger. “I think it’s important we all do it.” An entrepreneur at heart, Milton also owns and publishes Okanagan Child. “This is a hobby, on the side, the editing, the creating and the publishing of the magazine,” she said. A key to her success, and the best piece of advice she could offer to young entrepreneurs, said Milton, was to have
an open mind. “Be open to anything, because you never know when a really good business idea is going to be there,” she said. Although working as executive director of the DPA, together with her volunteer work and running a magazine and tending to her brood of four children aged eight to 15, can often pull Milton in a multitude of different directions, there is one thing that keeps a smile on her face. “I really enjoy working with people,” she said. “Everyone has an interesting story and has a different take on life. “I really like that part.” Penticton Top 40 under 40 is presented by Prospera Credit Union in partnership with the Penticton & Wine Country Chamber of Commerce and JCI Penticton, with support from Canadian Youth Business Foundation BCYukon” Nominations should be sent to manager@penticton.org with the subject line ‘Top 40 Nomination.’ Please include nominee’s contact info and a brief reason for nomination.
Kerri Milton, executive director of the Downtown Penticton Association, is a strong advocate for the community and volunteerism.

Fine art, food and wine planned for fundraiser Western News Staff
A night of fine art, fine food and fine wine is planned for this Saturday as a fundraiser for the Penticton Art Gallery. Tickets are limited to the winepaired dinner and art auction at the Poplar Grove Winery, featuring the offerings of the Vanilla Pod Restauraunt. The Penticton Art Gallery received 16 works of art for this event, representing a group of internationally recognized artists. Their works can be found in major public and private collections around the world. Paul Crawford, Penticton Art Gallery curator, said it is a rare opportunity for those looking to start building a collection or those looking to expand and enhance their existing art collection. The artists include Jack Shadbolt, Bobbie Burgers, Robert Rauschenberg, Laurie Papou, John Koerner (who has an exhibit running at the gallery until Nov. 7), Joseph Plaskett, Lincoln Clarkes, Gordon A. Smith, John Hall, Joice Hall, Harold Klunder, Michiko Suzuki and Wayne Eastcott, Julie Oakes, Rod Charlesworth, Michael Hermesh and David T. Alexander. All proceeds raised will go to-
wards funding the ongoing public programming of the Penticton Art Gallery. Crawford said those unable to attend the event on Oct. 26, but who would like to bid on any of the works available can leave an advance bid with the Penticton Art Gallery and a staff member will exercise the bid. All of the donated works are currently on display at the Penticton Art Gallery. A copy of the auction catalogue can be viewed online at www. pentictonartgallery.com. The evening will begin with canapés and refreshments served from 6 to 7 p.m. followed by a wine-paired dinner. The Vanilla Pod Restaurant, run by executive chef Bruno Terroso, will provide a five-course gourmet dinner made with local and seasonal ingredients featuring flavours of the Mediterranean. The auction will take place between courses. There are only 75 seats and very few tickets remaining. Crawford suggests people purchase theirs immediately either at the Penticton Art Gallery or at Poplar Grove Winery. Tickets are $125 and for more information call 250-493-2928 or email info@pentictongallery.com. The gallery is open Tuesday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on the weekends from noon to 5 p.m.

Members of the KISU swim team established more best times than their coach thought they would. “We had some great swims,” said Tina Hoeben. The first meet of the season for the club allowed Hoeben to see where the swimmers are in terms of their training. The three-day meet, which included a jamboree on Sunday, involved 440 swimmers from the region and some club teams from the Kootenays. Hoeben said her swimmers showed lots of promise. Hoeben described Ashley McMillan, 9, as one of the team’s faster swimmers. “She did a great job. She won the pentathlon event on the Friday,” said Hoeben of McMillan, whose combined time in five events was 9:28.98. On opening day, McMillan was joined in the top three by Marlee
Caruso, who finished in third for girls 10 and under. For girls 11 to 12, Acacia Benn was second. In boys 11 to 12, Tyler Wall was second, while in boys 13 to 14, Sam Lasinski finished first and Riley Wall, third. Lasinski won the overall in the boys 13 to 14-year-old group with a combined time of 24:56.35, while Riley was third at 26:47.18.

finishing second in the 11-12-year-old group in 30:22.30. Hoeben said other young swimmers stood out as well, including Justin Fotherby, 10, and Anna Spence, 12. On the third day, McMillan was second, Fotherby,10, third, Spence, 12, took second, Wall and Everton,12, finished first and second, respectively. Lasinski, 13, took first. While all the results weren’t yet posted, Hoeben was very happy, especially with the number of swimmers
who competed. “It is the biggest meet that we have ever hosted,” she said. “That was exciting.” While the quality of the swimmers isn’t what would be seen at a provincial or national event, Hoeben said it was still good and she liked seeing new faces. “It was great to have that competition come to our area,” she said, adding that the next one is in Vernon, Nov. 8 to 10. The next event Penticton hosts is the high school regionals this Sunday. Warm-ups begin at noon, then competition begins at 1until 5 or 6 p.m. The top three swimmers from each event will advance to provincials. With swimmers in Grades 8 to 12 able to compete, Penticton will have 48 competitors. “That number is huge,” said Hoeben. “We have never had that many compete in a high school swim meet before.”

STREETSTOCKS CHAOS — Mel Cole (8) does the spin-around on the first turn in the street stocks race while competitors Jesse Carvell (11) and Al Rempel try to avoid him during the Day of Destruction event at the Penticton Speedway, Sunday. It was final race day of the season. Penticton Speedway used its final day as a fundraiser for the family of Scott Mullin, who recently died. They are giving the family $1,747. The brother of Scott Mullin’s wife, Christina, won the 50/50 draw receiving $1,497 and handed it over to his sister. Okanagan Racing Experience auctioned off the chance for someone to ride as the passenger and raised $250, which also went to the Mullins family.

Modern-day approach to old-world winemaking
B.C. Travel Registrar #1851-3
Western News Staff
It is a modern-day approach to an old-world practice all the way from Italy that’s now being applied in Summerland. The journey of bringing concrete wine fermenters started at the Nico Velo factory in Vicenza, Italy, before arriving at their ultimate resting point at the Okanagan Crush Pad. Nico Velo, established in 1943, makes all types of concrete prefabricated structures, from bridge columns to wine tanks, and offers first-class workmanship. The decision to purchase the concrete tanks from Nico Velo came at the urging of Okanagan Crush Pad’s consulting winemaker, Alberto Antonini, who uses the same tanks at his Poggiotondo winery in Tuscany, and is very impressed with the results. Okanagan Crush Pad winemakers Michael Bartier and Matt Dumayne concur with the idea of using concrete fermenters. “Okanagan Crush Pad is my first experience using concrete tanks, and I am very impressed with the results. We now have just over 38,000 litres in concrete tank capacity,” said Dumayne. “They have excellent fermentation kinetics such as temperature retention. The conical shape of the tank moves the fermenting juice around in a vortex, which produces wines with enhanced depth, complexity and roundness of tannins. We have found that the resulting

wines have a complexity and an enhanced creamy mineral character.” Concrete had been used for centuries in winemaking, but was more or less abandoned with the arrival of stainless steel. These modern day concrete tanks take a forward-thinking approach to the ancient practice. To date, Okanagan Crush Pad has made and released several wines that were fermented and aged in concrete, including the 2011 and 2012 vintages of the Haywire Switchback Vineyard pinot gris and the recentlyreleased and much anticipated 2011 Haywire Canyonview Vineyard pinot noir. These wines were made in Canada’s first temperature-controlled, egg-shaped con-
