MARINA CAUSING WAVES Steve Kidd

NEWS PENTICTON WESTERN Western News Staff

Penticton City Council’s promised announcement about the future of the Skaha Lake marina area Tuesday still leaves many questions unanswered. During an in-camera meeting Tuesday afternoon, council approved Trio Marine Group as the new leaseholders of the area, replacing Penticton Yamaha and Marine, owned by Mark and Matt Attrill. The nearby splash park will not be affected, and the boat launch and marina will continue operating, but answers about the future development of the area will have to wait until negotiations with Trio are complete, according to Mayor Garry Litke. “We are just doing our due diligence at the moment,” he said. “There is not much more that we can say.” The new $33,000 lease is only for a one-year term, starting Jan. 1, 2015. Mitch Moroziuk, director of operations, describes it as an interim lease. “The terms and conditions … are the same as have been in place with the previous operator. Over the one-year period, Trio intends to address the following: boat storage, boat rental, slip rental, fuelling, lake sports-related retail,” said Moroziuk, listing similar services to what Penticton Yamaha and Marine currently provides. Moroziuk said Trio Marine may also be looking at other improvements to the area, but refused to elaborate on rumours of significant developments, which include a waterslide, restaurant and possible commercial developments in the Skaha Lake Park area. “This process is still in negotia-

tion. That has not concluded, so we are not in a position to do that right now,” said Moroziuk. Rob Campbell, spokesperson for Trio Marine, echoed Moroziuk’s comments. “We are not at liberty to say anything at all about what is going to happen for the future, other than the fact that the plans include a vibrant waterfront,” said Campbell, who also wouldn’t confirm whether their negotiations included the two adjacent properties mentioned in the

city’s May 2013 expression of interest document, one of which borders directly on the splash park in Skaha Lake Park. “We have to focus on the main issue, which is the marina, the building and the water and that is all we can deal with or discuss,” he said, confirming the marina and boat launch would remain in operation. Campbell did say the negotiations concerned “other amenities” and what might be suitable for the Skaha marina area.

“Everybody wants some good things to happen and that is the direction we are moving in,” he said. “I know it is unfortunate, everybody is anxious and wanting to know. We know what will happen if the wrong thing is said and we just want to avoid that.” The city has been negotiating with Trio Marine since Nov. 2013 after receiving four responses to their EOI request. The Attrills’ proposal, said Moroziuk, failed to make the cut and two companies

were asked to submit proposals, but Trio Marine was the only proponent to follow through. Mark Attrill said losing the lease didn’t come as a surprise, but council’s announcement of a one-year interim replacement did. He expected to hear about a longer lease and a larger project. “I have been told it was a 30year term,” he said, noting that the original EOI request specified special consideration may be given to intensive redevelopment of the site as a restaurant/hotel complex. “It was for a long term, they were looking for someone to come in and put in big dollars,” said Attrill. “How could anyone invest what we have for one year?” Campbell explained the oneterm lease was due to a timing issue. “The rest of the due diligence couldn’t be completed in time,” he said. “It was in everybody’s best interest to have the one-year agreement in place. Then it will cease and the new agreement will then take effect.” The Attrills have been long-term tenants of the site, having operated their business there since 1986. Attrill said the family has an even longer history, though. “Our family has operated marinas on both lakes in Penticton for 43 years. My father started in 1971 on Okanagan Lake,” he said, adding that he finds the current situation ironic, since a similar event happened in the 1980s, forcing his father to close their business on Okanagan Lake. “I have no idea why council would want to close businesses in Penticton,” he said. “We have a lot of money invested in this business, inventory and everything else. City hall, they don’t take into consideration any of that.”

Schools expected to open Monday

Renew your ca r insurance at BCAA.

Members and non-Members welcome

Schools throughout the South Okanagan will reopen Monday if teachers ratify a new six-year contract. Students will return for a shortened first day as usual, followed by a regular class schedule on Tuesday, according to press releases from both the Okanagan Skaha and Okanagan Similkameen school districts. Parents should consult individual school websites for start times. Results of the teachers’ vote were not expected to be announced until late Thursday, after deadline. Okanagan Skaha Teachers’ Union president Leslea Woodward predicted earlier in the day that members would ratify the deal, reported to contain a cumulative 7.25 per cent wage increase and $400-million fund to address class size and composition concerns. Teachers “realize that under the circumstances and with the present government this is the best we can do right now,” said Woodward. “Are teachers happy?

They’re happy to go back and see their kids. Are they happy about the deal? No. But it is what it is.” No additional school days are expected to be added, nor will days be lengthened, to make up for time lost due to the teachers’ strike, said Okanagan Skaha superintendent Wendy Hyer, who noted that decision was made the by the Ministry of Education. Hyer asked parents to be patient as schools get up and running and administrators sort out other issues related to report cards, grades, schedules and transfer requests. School trustees are expected to ratify the teachers’ agreement at special meetings Friday.

Expressions of interest are now being sought from private-sector firms to design, building, finance and maintain a new patient care tower and parkade at Penticton Regional Hospital. Interior Health this week issued its request for qualifications to find companies capable of handling that first phase of a $325-million overhaul at the hospital and looking after ongoing maintenance of the entire facility for 30 years. The seven-storey tower is expected to boast 26,700 square metres of floor space for ambulatory care clinics, surgical services and 84 single-bed in-patient rooms. Also included in the project is a five-storey, 500-stall parkade. Both buildings are to be located on the east side of the existing

hospital closest to Government Street. The RFQ closes Nov. 6, and a shortlist of three groups is expected to be completed by January 2015, at which time a request for proposals will be issued that the winners will bid on. The contract to carry out the work is expected to be awarded in October 2015, and unsuccessful bidders will get $300,000 for their efforts. Construction should start in February 2016, with substantial completion expected by March 2019. The second phase of the hospital upgrade will be tendered separately and is expected to begin once the tower is complete. That later work will see the emergency department quadruple in size, and include renovations to the pharmacy, stores and laundry.

Also this week, the board of the Okanagan-Similkameen Regional Hospital District approved spending up to $8 million from its $32-million reserve to pay its 40 per cent share of the expected cost to get through the procurement process. The hospital district, funded by taxpayers in all municipalities and rural areas of the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen, is expected to chip in another $114 million during construction. The hospital district board hasn’t yet studied detailed financing options for the local share, so it’s still unclear how much extra it will cost taxpayers. The private-sector partner is expected to finance the remaining 60 per cent of the project, with the B.C. government then making regular monthly payments to cover debt repayment and operating costs.

After 35 years working in local government and two years as Summerland’s chief administrative officer, Tom Day will step down at the end of this year. He said his decision will allow him to enjoy life and pursue other interests. “Tom will be sadly missed,” said Mayor Jan- Tom Day ice Perrino. “He has been an outstanding CAO and a tremendous asset for the District of Summerland.” Because Day’s retirement comes shortly after the new mayor and councillors take office, one of the first tasks the council will face will be hiring a new administrator. The new council will also appoint the acting administrator until a replacement is hired. Search consultants were brought in two years ago when Day was hired. The search for an administrator took four months. During his time as Summerland’s administrator, Day said he has improved the processes at municipal hall, increased accessibility and tightened the budget. In addition, he was involved in trimming the staff when cuts were made in January. The cuts came because of the community’s slow growth rate, low reserve funds and a lack of public infrastructure projects. The reduction of six jobs was expected to save nearly $500,000. “It’s such a difficult decision affecting that many lives,” Day said. While he said the cuts were necessary, the decisions resulted in additional work for the rest of municipal staff. Day said after 30 years in local government he is looking forward to enjoying life and pursuing other interests.

Complaints about rough handling by an RCMP officer failed to get an Oliver man exonerated on charges related to an impaired-driving incident. Anthony Chester Bryant, 55, was convicted Thursday in provincial court in Penticton on four counts — having control of a vehicle while impaired, obstructing a police officer, failing to stop for police, and refusing to provide a breath sample — but found not guilty of flight from police. At trial last fall, RCMP Const. Ian Patrick McNeil testified he spotted Bryant, who had been the subject of an impaired driving complaint, behind the wheel of a truck that was towing a trailer on Sawmill Road. McNeil turned on his lights and sirens and pursued Bryant for 1.5 kilometres, during which time he watched Bryant’s truck swerve and cross the centre line numerous times. Eventually, Bryant stopped in his own driveway, at which point McNeil approached the driver’s door with gun drawn. In their testimony, both McNeil and Bryant agreed that Bryant reached under the dash to shut off the truck, since the vehicle’s ignition system didn’t work, but the men disagreed about what happened next. McNeil said he feared Bryant was reaching for a weapon, so he opened the door and threw Bryant to the ground. Bryant, however, said the officer punched him in the head and then threw him to the ground. Bryant also

alleged the officer kicked him numerous times while on the ground. A neighbour who witnessed the arrest testified she saw two or three kicks directed at Bryant’s legs, but Judge Greg Koturbash dismissed her evidence since she had a “less than ideal view” and admitted to having a “terrible” memory. Koturbash also wrote off Bryant’s testimony, in particular his explanation that a worn-out steering box was to blame for his truck swerving. The judge noted Bryant said he didn’t immediately pull over for McNeil because the road wasn’t wide enough to do so safely, so it “defies common sense” that someone so worried about safety would drive that same truck from Castlegar as Bryant said he did. Bryant, who denied drinking that day, but said he may have smelled of alcohol from the night before, also testified that on his way out of the Oliver RCMP detachment he said to McNeil, “Hey, no animosity towards you.” “Why would anyone who was just beaten by an officer say he has no animosity?” Koturbash said. The judge later dismissed Bryant’s application to have the charges dropped due to an infringement of his Charter rights stemming from McNeil’s alleged excessive use of force, noting a letter from Bryant’s doctor following a visit the day after the arrest mentioned only minor abrasions on Bryant’s wrists and a bruise on his face. Sentencing will be at a later date.

New master plans for the SS Sicamous were presented to city council. Ed Grifone, a partner with CTQ Consultants, showed the results of six months of consultation and design, wrapped up in three concept plans to enhance the area around the SS Sicamous. Environmental respect, a living museum, marine or boat-building theme, dealing with moorage and boats, day moorage, developing First Nations culture on site were just some of the factors that went into the concept plans, according to Grifone. Preserving the Rose Garden was also a factor.

The first concept plan, which includes one variation, focuses mainly on enhancing the rock groin jutting out into Okanagan Lake west of the Sicamous into an outlook. It also includes a boardwalk to enter the ship, with another walkway jutting out into the water. “I know in the past plans were made to put something very special at the end of it, not just a lookout circle … perhaps a restaurant or some kind of a gallery,” said Coun. John Vassilaki. Grifone said there were many possibilities for the rock spit. “The idea is to put something attractive out there that doesn’t maybe compete with the businesses in town, but something special that would bring people out into

To make room for an 80 metre wide plaza, the second concept plan moves the roundabout south to Churchill and Riverside. The plans also features the possibility of a day moorage and opportunities for the Penticton Indian Band to develop a cultural centre. The plans are being shown to Waterfront Committee, PIB chief and council and the SS Sicamous Society. Public will have a chance to give their input on Sept. 27 at the Saturday market.

Success story for Okanagan Nation salmon hatchery Steve Kidd Western News

This Saturday marks the end of a long journey for the Okanagan Nation Alliance, particularly the Penticton Indian Band. The new k] cpә’lk’ stim’ Salmon Hatchery, on the Penticton Indian Band, will be officially opened on Sept. 20 at 1 p.m., ready for 2014 Broodstock season. “These are great times, for sure,” said PIB Chief Jonathan Kruger. “Our ONA fisheries department is a huge success story for our salmon, for the capacity of our nation.” To have a new aboriginally-owned fish hatchery is another huge accomplishment Kruger continued. “The return of Okanagan Sockeye to our fishing grounds used to be only a dream,” said Grand Chief Stewart Phillip. “In the summer of 2010 we witnessed the salmon come back in the numbers not seen for 100 years. The work of supporting the sockeye is ongoing and continues with this new hatch-

ery, another aspect of our collective assertion to have a rightful place in the ongoing stewardship of our lands and resources.” Kruger notes the ONA has the largest fisheries department in the B.C. Interior. “We have more presence on the ground working with our salmon and we have the most projects going on in our watershed,” said Kruger. “We do work with the province and (federal) Department of Fisheries and Oceans, but we are leading the projects. That is something to be very proud of. “That has always been our responsibility. In today’s new world, working hand in hand and still continuing that responsibility, just fills me with pride.” The 2,300 square metre salmon hatchery will have the capacity to rear up to 8,000,000 eggs, but is currently equipped for 5,000,000 eggs from broodstock management until fry release. The excess capacity allows for future growth and changes in fish cul-

Transparency needed with Skaha marina lease City council is busy creating controversy once again. This time, its over the future of the Skaha marina, where they are in the process of transferring the lease to Trio Marine Group, and in the process evicting the current tenants, Penticton Yamaha and Marina. It’s bad enough that they are effectively shutting down a business that has operated successfully there for more than 20 years, but the policy, practised by both the city and Trio Marine Group, of refusing to talk about what is being planned for the site is akin to the time-honoured technique of pouring gasoline on a fire to put it out. Nature abhors a vacuum, the saying goes. The same holds true for information; people will simply fill in the details they are missing with rumour and speculation about worstcase scenarios. And it doesn’t take long for rumour to become equated with fact, in the mass mind of the community. Does the city and Trio Marine fear the public rejecting the plans, like what happened in 2012, when a large group of citizens rose up to oppose the removal of angled parking along Lakeshore Drive, part of the original Okanagan waterfront concept plan prepared by city staff? That leads to a very simple question. If council, or the company involved, fears negative community response to plans to develop public land, should the project even be considered in the first place? On the other hand, if this project is going to be as positive for the community as the city and Trio want WESTERN us to believe, why should they PENTICTON fear the public knowing more about it, at least in general terms? Many of the current council included transparency and openness in their 2011 campaign platforms. It’s not a promise they have truly followed through on.

Uncorking friendships amongst the vines Where there’s wine around, it’s likely I’ll be found. As a journalist, I’ve been present at many wine events, camera slung round my neck, as I circle the venue, armed with pen and pad, looking for photo subjects. Most recently, I had the pleasure of attending my first Naramata Bench Winery Association tailgate party. It was staged at Poplar Grove Winery, a location that anyone who has visited can verify comes with a stunning view of sprawling vineyards, a vibrant shoreline and Okanagan Lake glistening in the background. The event gave attendees the chance to make their rounds with like-minded wine lovers, sampling luscious red and white delights and fine food prepared by local chefs. This year, it paid tribute to the Genie award-winning movie, My American Cousin, which was shot on location in Naramata and Penticton. The film tells the story of an adventur-

ous 12-year-old in the late 1950s, whose otherwise mundane summer became more exciting following an unexpected visit from her California cousin. Director Sandy Wilson and Maggie Langrick, who played the lead character, Sandy, were among the cast present at the event. They took the time to mingle with the crowd, and welcome those who got into the spirit by adorning themselves in outfits reminiscent of that era. I’m not alone when I reveal my love for the social aspect of wine and the manner in which it brings together friends and family. In fact, some of my most memorable moments happened at a wine event and this was no different. As I waded through the crowd — estimated at 400 — I saw many faces, including the faces of people I hadn’t seen for awhile. I talked to one individual, who has been an integral member of the community, and I was surprised to learn he’d been seri-

Another familiar face I’m glad I bumped into was that of someone I’ve interviewed on multiple occasions. He’s always been friendly and able to accommodate all my requests, but soon he’ll be moving away, after accepting a new position in his chosen profession. Of course, I ran into many others, including friends, acquaintances and some people whose paths I cross only when we’re attending wine events (go figure). I even had one person whom I’ve not seen for several

years, message me on social media telling me she thought she’d seen me at the tailgate party. “Either that, or you’ve got a twin,” she wrote. I like knowing that when I’m attending wine events the conversations cover not only wine, (full-bodied, with a taste of black berries, ripe tannins and a long, velvety finish, blah, blah, blah), but also that people talk about what they’ve been doing lately, a recent vacation they’ve enjoyed, a failed (or new) relationship, and even about upcoming wine events (shocking). At wine events, it’s likely I’ll be greeted with a smile, a handshake or a warm hug. I can’t recall a time I saw anyone frowning during a wine social. I came to the sad realization some time ago that it is impossible to attend every single wine event, even if I could afford to. However, the nice part is, from the large-scale, to the smallquaint gathering, and to those somewhere in be-

tween, I believe there’s likely something that caters to everyone’s taste, so if you’ve not yet found an event you fancy, wine, wine again. Appreciate that we live in an area which is known for sun, sage and sand, is fast-becoming a world-class wine region and raise a glass in recognition. On a similar note, I would like to raise a glass as I say goodbye to my co-workers following an enjoyable, albeit brief stint with the Western News. To my co-workers, I express my appreciation for their support and willingness to help me adjust to a new work environment and the tasks I was given. I also want to express my gratitude to the entire Western News staff for making me feel welcome during my time here, and to people in the community who helped make my job easier. Thank you.

Thank you to the community The Queen’s Park teaching staff would like to thank the Queen’s Park community and general public for the support shown us while on the picket line.

Putting their stamp on donations

The Penticton and District Stamp Club is ready to start another season of stamp collecting and serving at the same time the community with the opportunity of making stamp donations which in turn are converted into cash for our chosen charities. Our charities this year are: Moog and Friends Hospice House, Cancer Research, CNIB, and the South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation. Over the last six years, as a club, we have made close to $10,000 in cash donations. All are welcome to have a look and see what and how we are enjoying an afternoon of auctioning and talking stamps. If you have specific questions about your stamp collection, find your answers at one of our meetings or call Gus, or any other club member you know, for advice. Annual membership fees are $15 for adults and $5 for youths. Visiting is free of charge but one has to be a member to place items in the auction. No membership needed to bid and buy. Donations towards the auction and in turn to our charities can be made by calling: Gus Boersma at 250-492-3875 or email: gboersma@telus.net or deliver at 2600 Cornwall Dr., Penticton, B.C., V2A 6X3. Gus will pick up if so desired. Over the summer months we have received many donations which will start to be auctioned off at our first meeting in September – come and find out how this works. We thank all who have contributed cash and donations towards our auctions. Gus Boersma Penticton

Putin an egomaniac

President Putin of Russia is now the most dangerous person on Earth. He is proving to be a madman, an egomaniac, with little regard for the human race. We are now on the verge of another world war and all because of this evil person that seems to

Your trust and faith in us was, and is greatly appreciated smiled and gave us a thumbs up in support — thank you. Many of you took the

think that he is another Napoleon. Recently he has taunted the west with warlike rhetoric up to and including the insinuation that nuclear strikes are not out of the question. Does he honestly believe that Russia can attack the west with nuclear weapons without retaliation, or does he not care what would happen to the citizens of his country? The western nations must stand up to this madman and not necessarily with threats of another war, but we must convince the Russian people to get rid of this despot. He is hurting his own people by inviting the sanctions that are being felt by all Russian civilians. Of course he has convinced his people that it is the fault of the west, but sooner or later the major Russian corporations and their billionaire owners will feel the pinch and they might pressure the Russian parliament to rid themselves of this tyrant. Their foreign assets are being frozen and trade between the east and west is fast drying up which will destroy their domestic economy. Oil and diamonds and other natural resources are the biggest Russian export but the west can survive the loss of these important resources in the short term until other supplies are found which could greatly help the Canadian economy. Canada is blessed with a great supply of natural resources and the only problem is the transport of these resources to Europe, but a way could be found that would ensure a safe, economical system that is backed by a stable government. The Russian government must be made to understand that no nation can stand alone and that they should not fear the west, but to look very carefully at the main reason for any conflict, real or imagined, is that madman called Putin.

Mental health an eye-opener

After reading about depression, one could only surmise that for every person that suf-

time to ask about the issues that were, and remain, important to us. We were truly grateful for those conversations where we could explain our position and dedication to improve the learning environment of all students, as well as working conditions for teachers. Your trust and faith in us was, and is, greatly appreciated.

fers from high blood pressure or diabetes, there are persons equally suffering from a never talked about mental health problem, namely depression. You could almost say that the words mental health carry a stigma as a gay person holding what he or she perceives as a disease that may be transferred or holds dire consequences to an individual who harboured such a supposedly unacceptable disposition and would be shunned by society? I would suspect as many lost souls have succumbed to what they perceived as guilt of being a statistic in an unacceptable category. It’s a real eye opener to one’s family or closest acquaintances when an individual speaks out (so as to speak) but more and more every day folk are accepting unacceptable situations. Unfortunately, far too many good family and friends are no longer with us to enlighten us to their dark secrets and sufferings, one of the most successful distractions used by a person (in my mind’s eye) is the deceit of, if I may be so bold as to use that phrase, being that of a funny guy. A prime example would be of late comedian Robin Williams. As a columnist pointed out, he is a prime example of an individual that was and is able to bring to light that which is in this day and age, so taboo. In closing, I would like to praise the unsung heroes that have saved as many lives and rescued people who thought they were beyond help. Some cancers are incurable even with all the money in the world. Depression can be kept on hold indefinitely if professional help is sought before the inevitable. Andy Homan Penticton

Advocates needed

It is with trepidation that I submit this letter for publication. Recently, I read a letter that was submitted by Patrick Longworth, concerning the working class. Thank you Patrick for having the courage to write about this problem.

Queen’s Park Teaching Staff Penticton

The decent, hard-working people of this community need advocates like you to raise awareness of the policies and procedures of some government agencies. Mr. Longworth too was hesitant to write his letter to the editor. In November of 2012, I suffered a concussion from a fall that happened at my place of employment. The accident was due to an unsafe working environment. The concussion left me with severe vertigo, loss of balance, confusion as well as other health issues associated with a fall. My body had a lot of healing to do. My battle with government agencies that were supposed to help me in this situation has left me with a sense of hopelessness and helplessness. I feel that I have been stripped of my self-esteem, self-dignity and worthiness. I was subjected to exhausting sessions with psychologists, and after reading their reports that were referring to me as an uneducated walking disorder. The report portrayed me as an individual who was already damaged prior to the fall and suggested that my inability to continue working was due to past depression and incidents from my childhood. Rubbish. I was subsequently fired from my job, after they determined that there was nothing I could do there due to my injury that happened at their establishment. Something about that just isn’t right. I have been discontinued from financial support from the government agency that is supposed to be there for the worker. I am unsuccessful in obtaining a job, primarily to physical barriers due to my injury. What is left for me and others in my situation? The agencies involved have failed me. We contribute to these agencies all of our working lives, we trust that they will be there for us. My experience has been very negative and without compassion by these agencies. Are we just a file number? Have government employees become complacent? Barbara Pigeon Penticton

I know my brother suffered severe face and head trauma and that has probably left these wonderful people who witnessed this with such hard memories to forget. My heart breaks for everyone involved. My brother is sporting a new set of wings and if you were there with him I’m sure you were there for a reason. You just gained a new angel in your life.

Jail for man who went on stealing spree Joe Fries

Western News Staff

A man linked to four stolen vehicles in the span of one week this summer will now be spinning his wheels behind bars. Jeremiah Nathan Armstrong, 34, was sentenced this week in provincial court in Penticton to one year in jail after pleading guilty to a total of nine offences, including two counts of flight from police and three counts of possession of stolen property. Given enhanced credit for time served, Armstrong now has nine months remaining on his sentence, which will be followed by 15 months’ probation and a twoyear driving prohibition. Court heard Armstrong first came to the attention of police investigating a theft from a liquor store in Osoyoos on July 2. When asked for identification, Armstrong retrieved it from a truck stolen days earlier from Kelowna and for which he had the key fob in his pocket. Also inside the vehicle was a drill stolen from an Osoyoos hardware store. Then on July 6, just after midnight, an RCMP officer on patrol on the Penticton Indian Reserve spotted Armstrong driving a stolen Honda Accord and gave chase. Armstrong took off “at a high rate of speed

with no consideration of others,” said Crown counsellor Mallory Treddenick as she read out the circumstances of the offences. The car later plunged off a fivemetre embankment and Armstrong fled on foot. Just two days later, plainclothes Mounties on the reserve watched as Armstrong drove past them in a stolen Dodge Dakota pickup. After a short chase, Armstrong stopped the truck to let out a passenger, who later told police where to find another stolen vehicle they dumped earlier in the day, then spent the next four hours evading police on bush trails, where he eventually got stuck and was apprehended. Treddenick said Armstrong was high on methamphetamine at the time of his arrest. “Extremely high,” Armstrong confirmed without prompting. Defence counsel Bob Maxwell said his client “very stupidly went to meth as some sort of relief” following a threemonth hospital stay in 2012. “That’s what all this stuff was about,” said Maxwell. Prior to learning his sentence, Armstrong, who appeared via videoconference from the North Fraser Pretrial Centre, told the court, “I know I did wrong.” He also apologized to “anybody out there I hurt.”

It was her Special day. I didn’t want to miss a word!

HarbourGraphicsandPhotography.com

It was my daughter’s big day. Aware that I was experiencing some hearing loss, I was anxious about communicating in a noisy environment. Most importantly, I didn’t want to miss a word of her precious wedding vows. With just a week before the wedding, I scheduled a hearing test at the Penticton clinic. Audiologist Stephanie Sykes conducted a very thorough series of tests and after explaining my results, she recommended the Alta Pros™ by Oticon for my specific lifestyle needs. The exhilaration I experienced with my regained sense of hearing was only surpassed by the joy of giving my daughter away to the man of her dreams! Thank you for your professional care! – Dan Whitney, Summerland

Working with your Physician for Better Hearing

On Sept. 27, comedians Pete Zedlacher, Tim Nutt and Greg Morton will be at the Barking Parrot for the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan’s annual comedy night. Zedlacher recently celebrated being a part of the comedy scene for 18 years and he’s also appeared on numerous Canadian TV shows. “Time flies when you’re having fun,” he said, adding that he’s amazed when he recounts how a career as comedian has allowed him to travel the world. “Last year, I was inside the Great Pyramid of Giza,” said Zedlacher. “Who would think that would happen?” His introduction to comedy came about as a result of the late Jim Henson. “When I was a very little boy, I was watching The Muppet Show,” he said. “I was watching Fozzie Bear and I said to my mom, ‘What does that mean, he’s a comedian’?” “She said, ‘That’s his job, that’s what he does, he makes people laugh,’ and I said, ‘I’m going to be a comedian.’” Zedlacher said that as much as he finds it “incredible” being a comic, it comes with a price. “It involves a lot of hard work,” he said. “You’ve got to be obsessed with the craft. There’s so many times I’m just going out there, and I’m hitting the open mike stage, just to work on some new jokes because that’s what you have to do.” Zedlacher touched on comedian and actor Robin Williams, who took his own life on Aug. 11, as well as comic Joan Rivers, who died Sept. 4. “It’s been a terrible year for comedy,” he said. “We’ve lost two giants in the span of a month. I went back and I watched some of Robin Williams’ movies and I got a lump in my throat. I worked with him one time in Toronto, and he was a sweetheart of a guy. “He was genuine. It’s very sad that he’s not going to be around anymore.” Nutt isn’t one to wax poetic about the philosophical nature of his chosen profession, however, he believes he’s learned a thing or two since his first show about 20 years ago. He said looking at the success of a joke from an objective point of view isn’t important. “It doesn’t work because you think it works,” he said. “It works because it works.” He also noted if a comedian had any idea of how bad they were when they started, they’d quit. “I found an old cassette from the really early years, and I couldn’t listen to more than five minutes of it. I thought I was terrible,” he said. “I never really aspired to it but I’d always been kind of a smart alec at the kitchen party kind of thing,” he said. One day, while working at a restaurant when he was living in the Vancouver area, he was carrying a large pot of soup when he slipped and fell down a flight of stairs, rupturing his spine in two places.

accident kept him off work for a year. However, he decided to use his time off to do some free stand-up gigs. This happened around 1993, at about the same time when a lot of “fringe-type” comedians were trying to capitalize on a comedy boom that began in the late 1980s, said Nutt. Many of them began to leave the scene or got fired, and that opened opportunities for him and others. “There was a number of us in Vancouver that probably got pushed into the industry before we were ready,” he said. “It was sink or swim.” In a couple of his early appearances, Nutt was either greeted with a chorus of boos or was heckled but realized that if he was going to make it, he needed to learn to cope. “There’s a certain point where you realize that it doesn’t hurt you physically,” he said. “It’s almost a zen thing. When you stop caring about the outcome, the results are much better.” After years of performing, those days starting out as a comedian no longer haunt Nutt, who said he gets excited before a show as opposed to getting nervous. The last time he felt a twinge of nerves was a couple of years ago, when he was performing in the grandstand show at the Calgary Stampede in front of about 20,000 people. “I was more concerned that they couldn’t hear me, because it was geared for singers and explosions,” said Nutt. “I followed a team of motorcycle acrobats that drove around the inside of a steel ball and jumped their dirt bikes over the entire stage, with a hundred teenagers dancing to Pat Benatar, and then they shut it down, put on the spotlight and handed me a microphone.” Tickets for the show are $65 and available at the Penticton Lakeside Resort. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and showtime is 8 p.m.

Celtic Thunder will march into the South Okanagan Events Centre March 13, 2015. After performing in Penticton in 2013, the singers return with a brand new show The Very Best of Celtic Thunder Tour. The show will feature an eclectic collection of the group’s most popular songs from the past seven years, drawing material from nine public television specials and 11 CDs and DVDs. Since forming in 2007, the group has entertained across Canada, the United States and Australia, and has been hailed as Top World Music Artist and Top World Album in 2008, 2009 and in 2011. The group is backed by the Celtic Thunder Band and will present a performance that combines lighting and choreography and a set resembling an ancient stone pathway similar to those referenced in Celtic lore. Celtic Thunder’s principal singers, backed by the amazing eight piece Celtic Thunder band, will deliver their much loved ensemble numbers

with selections including Heartland from Celtic Thunder -The Show, Galway Girl and Seven Drunken Nights from Voyage, A Place in The Choir from Heritage and Turning Away from Mythology. Of course, no Celtic Thunder show would be complete without a performance of their rousing anthem Ireland’s Call, which generally acts as the show’s finale and never fails to bring the audience to its feet. In addition to these incredibly popular ensemble performances, The Very Best of Celtic Thunder tour will also feature a wide variety of solo hits from the principal singers such as Ride On, The Dutchman, Noreen, Danny Boy, some Puppy Love and many more. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and showtime is at 7:30. Tickets, including tax are $55 and $75 (plus applicable fees) and are on sale Friday, Sept. 26 at 10 a.m. They are available in person at the Valley First Box Office at the events centre, Penticton and Wine Country Visitor Centre, by phone at 1-877763-2849 or online at www.valleyfirsttix.com.

Motorcyclists will be rumbling down the highway in the South Okanagan, looking to put smiles on kids’ faces.

Just weeks away from becoming an organ donor, Shelley Hunt is ideally suited to be the honouree for the 2014 Kidney Walk on Sunday in Penticton. The annual event raises money to increase organ donation, fund research, support kidney patients and educate the public about kidney health, all of which are causes close to Hunt’s heart. She’s a co-founder of the Because I Can project, created in 2012 to help share stories of organ donors and recipients in a bid to increase the number of people willing to give a part of themselves to others. Hunt, 31, will find out what it’s like first-hand in early October when she gives up one of her kidneys to help a six-year-old Langley boy. She won’t donate directly to him, but rather is part of a chain that will see her travel to Ontario for the procedure. Her kidney will then go to an anonymous recipient and trigger someone else’s gift to the Langley boy. “I’m so excited,” said Hunt, who insisted she’s not at all scared about going under the knife. “I can’t explain it, but I’m just totally not.” Hunt first began thinking about organ donation in 2012 when a pamphlet about it arrived in her mail and she decided to research the subject. After learning about the need for donors, she felt compelled to help and soon after launched Because I Can, which is also lobbying for government NFW_Ad_2014_BW.pdf 1 9/8/2014 to switch the organ donor registry

Shelley hunt and three-year-old son leyland were at Gyro Park this week promoting the Sept. 21 annual Kidney Walk. Shelley is this year’s honouree and will soon be donating one of her own kidneys.

system to an opt-out model, rather than the opt-in system that exists today. Walk organizer Teresa Atkinson said that’s precisely why Hunt was selected. “One of the things we wanted to do is showcase the amazing people we have here, especially in Penticton, who donate their kidneys with no connection to the recipients,” Atkinson said. Atkinson is expecting up to 200 people to participate in this year’s 4:37:10 PM walk, which will begin from Gyro

Park, rather than Riverside Park as it has in past years. Registration for the 2.5-kilometre walk or five-kilometre fun run opens at 9 a.m., and participants will set out at 10 a.m. Those looking to join, start a team, or download a donation form can do so now at www.kidney.ca/bcrun. Anyone who donates to the run will be entered to win use of the White Kennedy Chartered Accountants luxury suite at the South Okanagan Events Centre for an upcoming Penticton Vees game.

The start of the Penticton Vees RBC Cup championship pursuit begins today. The Vees open their 2014-15 season in Chilliwack for the BCHL Bauer Showcase against the Surrey Eagles at Prospera Centre at 7:30 p.m. “It’s exciting to finally be able to get to play some games,” said Vees co-captain Patrick Sexton, who signed several MarketPlace IGA bags during the Vees’ ticket pick-up party for season holders. In taking on the Eagles and then the Alberni Valley Bulldogs on Saturday at 3 p.m., Sexton expects hard work from both teams. “Just from other talk around the league those teams are going to come with an outstanding work ethic,” said Sexton. “They are not going to be easy wins. Hopefully let our work do the talking.” Vees starting goalie Hunter Miska expects teams to put up their best effort. “We’re like the Pittsburgh Penguins of the NHL, but in the BCHL,” said Miska. “Everyone is going to come out hard and try to beat us. We’re going to come out strong and play our game.” Ending the exhibition season with a decisive 8-1 win over the Merritt Centennials on Sunday, Miska said the team looks really good. Sexton stressed the importance of the Vees playing with a strong work ethic. “It’s the one thing that is the most controllable,” said Sexton. “You can decide whether you want to go out and work hard every shift. With all the speed and skill we

Penticton athletes are on the roster Special Olympics Canada announced for its national team headed to the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Los Angeles. Jake Huff will compete in 10-pin bowling, while swimming athletes are Avery Newton and Amanda Schleppe. Margaret Burnell, Chad Conlon, Kevin Ellis and Lynden Hicks for bocce and they are joined by coach Dona Cade. This bocce team will be the first to represent Canada at a Special Olympics World Games. “It’s phenomenal. Hopefully it’s not the last of a lifetime thing to happen because it is such a wonderful chance,” said Cade. “We’re all just tremendously proud to represent our country, to wear the maple leaf.” What also excites the group is meeting different athletes from the 170 countries competing. Cade said there is a lot of work ahead for the games, scheduled for July 25 to Aug. 2. Along with practices being organized, the athletes will be doing exercise and nutritional programs. “They got their work cut out for them,” said Cade. The athletes qualified through their performances at the Special Olympics Canada 2014 Summer Games in Vancouver. Newton, who won five gold medals, was nervous when she got the letter. “It’s my first time representing Canada,” she said.

this group of Vees has a chance to win the national championship. “I know personally I have never been so excited for a junior season in my life,” said Sexton, entering his fifth junior A season.

Will Wright didn’t place in the 2014 Junior Pan-American Championships karate competition in Lima, Peru held in late August. Yet, he still performed well in the eyes of his sensei Chris Taneda and instructor Mike Ditson. “I thought he dominated probably the first three quarters of the fight,” said Taneda, who watched it on the Internet. “At the end I’m not sure what happened.” Wright and his opponent were tied 1-1 at the end and tie breakers are decided by the official, who makes a decision based on a set of criteria. The official went with the Peruvian. “Fighting a guy from Peru, when you’re in that situation, you can’t really leave it in the judge’s hand,” said Taneda. “You have to put a little bit more emphasis. Unfortunately he didn’t win.” Wright was then knocked out of competition when the Peruvian he lost to ended up competing for a bronze medal. Had he advanced to the gold medal bout, Wright would have been able to compete again. Wright was also part of the Canadian kumite team, but didn’t compete since the first two Canadians lost their matches. “When I looked at the competition, Will was definitely in the middle of things,” said Taneda. “I think for Will’s first time at an international event like that, I’m really proud of the way he did.”

Drag racing fans will get the chance to see what a million-dollar car can do at the Richter Pass Motorplex in Osoyoos Sept.28. JF Launier is putting his customized 1964 Buick Riviera, called Revision, that won the coveted Ridler Award at the 2014 Meguiar’s Detroit Autorama, to the test during the Wine Country Racing Association (WCRA) Rumble in the Valley. A week away from the race, Launier admits its not the smartest thing to do because he doesn’t want to crash it. Launier is not sure how fast the car will go, but the 6.2 litre, V-8 engine has more than 850 horse power. “It’s got way more horse power than it needs,” said Launier, who does drive it casually. “It also makes it quite dangerous.” Launier said he’s not going to go out there and “beat the balls off of it right away,” but he plans to work progressively at trying to make the car go faster. “It’s more to see a car of that calibre perform and do what it was meant to do,” said Launier, who owns JF Kustoms in Osoyoos. “It’s still something I’m excited about.” The Osoyoos resident is doing it to give back to the Coachmasters Club of the South Okanagan, which helped him finish the car. “Hopefully we can get a big spectator count,” said Launier, who is giving away free Hot Wheels cars to every kid who comes through the gate. “It’s something, if it was done in the States, there would probably be 20,000 spectators. They would want to see that event unfold.” Launier has 200 toy cars ready to give away. If more come, he will make sure they are taken care of. “We want to entice a bunch of kids to come out and enjoy the hobby, become future enthusiasts,” he added. “Rarely, if ever, does a car-lover have an opportunity to see a Ridler-winning car be driven, much less raced on a drag track,” said Chip Sabyan, a member of the WCRA in a press release. Launier joins a group of WCRA racing enthusiasts as finishing touches are put on the fifth annual challenge. “Fans will be delighted to see beautiful vehicles from car clubs throughout the Okanagan Valley, settling their grudges on the drag track,” said Sabyan. The drag racing takes place at the Richter Pass Motorplex with gates opening at 9 a.m. Racing begins at 11 a.m. with the final elimination rounds beginning at 1 p.m. Admission is $10, free for those 12 and under. Any drivers interested in racing their own vehicles must come early to register and pass through safety inspection. For more information, check out www. winecountryracing.ca or call 250-498-6443.

EDMONTON OILERS prospect Mitch Holmberg goes in on Winnipeg Jets netminder Eric Comrie during the shoot out in the final game of the Canucks Young Stars Classic tournament Monday at the South Okanagan Events Centre, won by the Jets 5-4. Mark Brett/Western News

Young stars impress What a show the 2014 Canucks Young Stars Classic was. There it was, a constant stream of fans entering the South Okanagan Events Centre as 16,500 tickets were sold for the four-day event that featured 12 firstround NHL draft picks. Only two games, the first on Friday between the Winnipeg Jets and Calgary Flames, and the Monday morning tilt between the Edmonton Oilers and Jets, attracted crowds fewer than 2,000, yet were 1,500 or more. In the three years the tournament has been on, 65 players have played in the NHL and it will only grow. The tournament had everything from nice goals, big hits, fights and of course great goaltending. I’m not sure you could ask for anything more except for maybe cheap beer. There was also a great atmosphere as fans dusted off their jerseys (I spotted some Oilers Gretzky sweaters and No.16 for the Canucks) from the closet to support their teams. Canucks president of hockey operations Trevor Linden, who wore 16 for the Canucks for nearly 16 seasons, said the crowds were awesome and added the tournament provided a real pro atmosphere. “It’s been good hockey,” he said. Among the talent in the spotlight were B.C. Hockey League alumnus Michael Zalewski trying to earn a roster spot with the Canucks and Curtis

Gedig with the Flames. In the 6-1 shellacking of the Canucks, Gedig finished plus-2 and was plus-three overall in two games. The Oilers were loaded with five BCHL grads in Kellen and Connor Jones, Jujhar Khaira, Ben Betker and Laurent Brossoit, who played in the tournament last year with the Flames.

The Jones twins impressed Oklahoma City Barons coach Todd Nelson. “It’s hard not to love these guys because they work so extremely hard,” said Nelson. The story on them can be found at www.pentictonwesternnews.com/ sports. Khaira finished with a goal an assist and a fight. Listed at 6-foot-3, 210 pounds, he used his size well. On the Oilers blog, general manager Craig MacTavish said after a slow start in his first game, Khaira showed flashes of the player he can be. “I can’t really remember that much of him last year, but the things that

do stand out when you’re talking about Jujhar are his strength on the puck and his character,” said MacTavish on Oilers.com. “He answered the bell physically. There are some things that obviously he’s going to have to continue to work at, but he’s an exciting prospect.” Another player who I was impressed with was Nikolaj Ehlers of the Winnipeg Jets. The second highest drafted product from Denmark looked good against the Oilers on Monday. He scored twice and on one of his goals, he raced down the left side and snapped a shot that found a small hole between the goalie and post. see STARS on pg. B4

Preventing gang activity in BC ▾ MYTH: The public is powerless against gangs. Reality: Be engaged and part of the solution. If you see something suspicious, whether it’s in a restaurant, mall parking lot, or in an isolated place, please phone 9-1-1 immediately so the police can investigate. Only with a community that cares and stands up to gangs and gang violence will we make a difference so our communities are safer.

Pickleball, a combination of tennis, badminton and table tennis, is highly addictive. “Once you start playing you can’t stop,” said Kim Coleman, a gold medal winner in the sport at the recent B.C. Senior Games in Langley. Coleman is among 300 people expected to play the sport in Penticton this season and plays five to seven days a week. Having always played racquet sports, she loves the speed and aggression of pickle ball. However, she also enjoys being around the other players, some who are younger. “It’s a pretty tight knit community,” said Coleman. Kim Hun Kopp can attest to that. “Every time I come out I’m happy,” said Hun Kopp, 35. “People here are just so nice to me. “You come out and make a lot of friends, it’s a friendly game,” continued Hun Kopp. “It’s a good game too. I love running around the court.” Ernest Treichel arrived at the Penticton Community Centre Monday morning after playing a few hours on the court at Skaha Lake. The 72-year-old just can’t get enough. “It’s good for seniors,” said Treichel, who got into it playing in Mesa, Arizona. “You still have to do a lot of running. Almost more running than in tennis sometimes.” Treichel loves the exercise and camaraderie he gets. “It’s a very excellent game,” he said. Jack Byron, the Penticton volunteer pickleball coordinator, said the sport began in the Peach City in 2002 with six players using wooden paddles. The sport has grown considerably since then, attracting 200 players last year. Byron said the reason behind the growth are Penticton’s indoor facilities that provide six courts. There are also plenty of options for people with sessions offered for various skill levels with play seven days a week. Byron likes that the sport is easy to learn. “Almost anyone of any age can play competently within three weeks,” said Byron. “Gifted athletes can reach an expert level within two years.”

There are 10 to 15 tournaments, from Osoyoos to Kamloops, for those wanting to compete and they are at various levels of play. For more information on the pickle ball programs offered in Penticton, check the RECreation Penticton guide or contact Jack Byron at 250-493-5087 or email him at jackbyron@shaw.ca. There are no sessions on Oct.13, Nov.11, Feb. 9 and 20.

Ehlers dialed in for Jets camp from STARS on pg. B3

Ehler’s coach, Keith McCambridge of the St. John’s IceCaps, liked his performance. “The speed stood out and the ability to get the shot away in stride,” said McCambridge, adding that he showed a little bit more of a pro game. Ehlers called the Young Stars Classic a

great experience. “I think it was nice to see what I’m up against,” he said. He now moves on to the Jets’ main camp. “It was good. They are not NHL players yet, but it was good. Nice to see and play against them. It was harder.” While fans get an early glimpse of potential NHLers and surefire stars, the teams involved be-

lieve the Canucks Young Stars Classic provides a great forum to evaluate prospects. McCambridge said along with seeing the players on the ice, they get to see how they interact with their teammates on ice, as well as away from the rink. “Two games here have been a really strong gauge on where these players

are development-wise,” said McCambridge. “I really enjoy it. It’s well put together. It’s a small summer town with it being on the lake. It’s a good Canadian city and a chance to see these players that you see in junior and hear about and see them on the ice.” Being a Canucks fan, I enjoyed seeing the players who hope to eventually play for the big club. I was impressed by Hunter Shinkaruk, who showed a lot of speed and aggressiveness, and Dane Fox, who likes to fire the puck, but also won’t hesitate to muck it up in defence of his teammates. Austin Lotz was hard to miss in goal and deservedly earned an invite to the main training camp as did Curtis Valk, who scored three goals in three games. It’s another tournament gone with another to look forward to next fall.

DRY MOUTH DILEMMA “You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone”. A common saying that I never thought I would relate to saliva. Alas, it is true. Saliva performs important functions in the mouth such as flushing food particles and bacteria from the mouth, helping us taste and smell our food as well as helping with chewing and swallowing. Although not a life-threatening condition, dry mouth is still bothersome and can affect dental health; inadequate amounts of saliva allows bacteria in the mouth to accumulate which can lead to bad breath and cavities. Dry mouth can be attributed to a couple different factors. Medications such as certain antidepressants and some antihistamines (eg. Gravol, Benadryl) can cause dry mouth. Salivary gland infections, smoking and some diseases (eg. Sjogren’s syndrome) can cause dry mouth as well. Permanent dry mouth can be caused by radiation treatments for

#114 - 300 RIVERSIDE DRIVE 250-493-5533 www.riversidepharmasave.com

mouth, head or neck tumors. Luckily dry mouth is relatively easy to manage. Eliminating medications that cause dry mouth will alleviate the problem (make sure you discuss this with your physician first!). For smokers, quitting smoking will relieve dry mouth and improve senses of smell and taste. In cases where underlying causes cannot be eliminated, Biotene moisturizing mouthwash, gel and toothpaste are available as well as Biotene or MouthKote dry mouth sprays. These products hydrate the mouth. Other tips to keep the mouth hydrated include drinking lots of fluids, chewing sugarless gum and sucking on sugarless candies or ice chips. Wondering if your medications can cause dry mouth? Want more information on dry mouth or other conditions? Book a medication review with one of our pharmacists!

New shopping experience coming to Save-On-Foods Western News Staff

Shoppers will be introduced to a completely new grocery experience when Save-On-Foods finishes renovations. But, for now, they will have to wait until the grand opening. “It will be a surprise, we don’t want to give everything away,” said store manager Brad Hickey with a laugh. “It is going to be a totally different look.” Construction is underway with new freezers, expanding aisles and flooring already in. Plans also include a new pharmacy among some other big surprises. “We wanted to update the store because we are staying in this community and want to give shoppers a taste of something they haven’t had,” said Hickey. Besides being supporters of local farmers and ranchers, Save-On-Foods has a special section dedicated to local products. With unique flavours and diversity shaping the needs of communities the stores are located in, Save-On-Foods ensures they deliver local products to match those needs. That includes Ambrosia apples from Cawston to jam from Summerland Sweets. With that type of connection to the community,

it is not startling to learn they are also advocates for charity groups and organizations that also give back to the South Okanagan. This includes backing events like Challenge Penticton and the Penticton Vees. “We like to put focus on kids because they are the future of this community,” said Hickey. “Last year we raised over $10,000 from just our store alone. All of that money went to the B.C. Children’s Hospital. Overall our stores donated over $2 million and we were very proud to once again be the hospitals biggest corporate donor.” Funds raised for B.C. Children’s Hospital are directed to the Child Health B.C. program, which gives kids the expert care they need, closer to their hometowns. Save-On-Foods, which currently has 130 employees in Penticton and will grow to about 200 once renovations are complete, also supplies fruits and veggies to schools from Osoyoos all the way to Summerland. Through the B.C. Fruit and Vegetable Snack Program, collectively Save-On-Foods gives over 530,000 kids access to healthy food and teaching initiatives aimed at improving the health of children and families. The Penticton store also supports the food bank with Feed the Valley.

bile is a long and complex process that typically takes about two years, yet it still starts with a simple two-dimensional sketch. In the digital age, however, that sketch is done on a specialized computer tablet, as it’s easier and faster to then develop it into a 3D model. From there, an actual scaled-down clay or foam model can be produced. As they move ahead in this design decision phase, more complex 3D design themes are explored and eventually a full-size clay model is produced. “What we’re seeing now is a whole new generation of tools that allow us to work more intuitively,” said Nowak. “The transition from hands-on sketching and hard clay sculpting tools to computer inputs was a challenge for some designers. Now we’re seeing a maturity of the technology to a point that these (digital) tools are becoming more like those organic tools again. Before Ford commits to producing expensive full-scale models, a lot of animation work is now performed. “This is my world,” affirmed Nowak. “We build a lot of complex visual experiences to allow all stakeholders within our company to understand what the embodiment of that proposal is and hopefully galvanize a common view or understanding of what that theme represents.” Animations created by

the 10-person 2000x Studio team begin with a storyboard of proposed shots, just like a Hollywood or Disney movie. The images produced are in ultra-high definition, known as 4K, which is four times clearer than commercial high-definition imaging, as there’s intense attention to detail of all facets of the vehicle — exterior, interior, proportions, stance. “In addition to being a powerful internal communication tool, digital animation is also a great tool that we handoff to our marketing organization,” said Nowak. “It also allows us to do more in the same amount of time. In the past, we might have only been able to do one design theme in a development time block. Now we can do 10, 15 or even 20 design themes in that same time block.” Jeffrey Nowak has been with the Ford Motor Company for 18 years and holds a Bachelor of fine arts in industrial design (transportation) from the College for Creative Studies. He holds more than 30 design patents with Ford Motor Company and is considered an industry leader in the field of computer-aided industrial design process and technology. And he’s a big admirer of movie director/ producer Michael Bay, who is best known for the Transformers movie series. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Topless fiat flawed but that’s part of its charm

The top is down. The sun is shining. It’s not a bad day to be stuck in downtown traffic. John Legend’s “All of Me” comes on the radio while behind the wheel of the 2014 Fiat 500C. As I wait in the Georgia Street parking lot, I listen intently to the song. Some lyrics of the song are: “Love your curves and all your edges, all your perfect imperfections.” As I contemplate this, it applies directly to the pintsized Fiat I’m captaining. In fact, there are imperfections about this four-seater that drive me crazy, but I can’t seem to dislike it. One example is the sound that greets you as you enter its cabin. There is nothing melodic about it. No mellifluous ding-dong ding-done; just a harsh monotone noise that seems to stay longer than an uninvited party guest. Even passengers commented on how annoying it is. The volume buttons on the dash really should be knobs. You should be able to crank up The awesome Beats premium audio system in a hurry, not push by push. (It’s worth the additional $495 price tag.) Visibility is mediocre at best, especially with the top up. The canvas roof doesn’t allow for great visibility when backing up — top up or down — but thankfully there are backup sensors. Unless you’re packing light, or just ditching the bags and merely bringing a debit card with you on a road trip, fitting four people inside and their luggage will be a challenge. On the plus side, the drop top doesn’t take away space when open. Then there’s the optional TomTom navigation that sits atop the dash and cuts into one’s forward visibility. An awkward spot for a GPS system. Pairing a Bluetooth device isn’t that straightfor-

The 2014 Fiat 500C is a quirky little car that brings the outside in with its sunroof-like option. Submitted Photo PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until September 30, 2014.

ward either. Not to mention, the 500C, with its 1.4L engine and humble 101 horsepower and 98 lb-ft of torque isn’t a stable stallion. Despite its lack of power, pressing the Sport button helps it feel a little peppier. The five-speed manual transmission is hardly a chore, even when I’m just inching along at a snail’s pace. While its imperfections should cause me to think about ever wanting to drive or own one, I still can’t seem to stop loving this little car. I like its quirkiness and the fact that it’s not perfect. I love the exterior colour: espresso. It sparkles in the sun and has a warm richness to it. When matched with the two-toned leather-trimmed bucket seats, it looks stylish and chic. Bringing the outside in, the espresso paint also colours to life the dash. Combined with ivory touches, it has an upscale ambiance. The tester, being the Lounge trim of 500C, it has an MSRP of $23,995. That comes with keyless entry, a chrome shift knob, leather-wrapped steering wheel (and the aforementioned leather seating surfaces with heated front seats), four-wheel disc brakes, ABS, hill start assist and more. When not stuck in traffic, the 500C actually remains quiet on the open road, with the top up, of course. It certainly doesn’t handle like its race-primed sibling, the Abarth, but still manages to turn on a dime when required. It’s also a lovely road companion because imperfections on the road aren’t felt with abrasion or discomfort. Furthermore, if you want to shed some light on the cabin, there are three settings you can use at the push of a button. One is a sunroof-like option, the next goes about two-thirds of the way down, and the last is all the way down. Either way, you have options on how much Vitamin D you’d like to consume. I feel like I’m back in grade school, sitting on the grass field at lunch, plucking the petals of a dandelion, one by one, saying, “I love it, I don’t love it, I love it, I don’t love … I LOVE IT!”
