Meghan McCafferty got excited when learning that kids 18 and under can go watch a Penticton Vees game for free. “That would be fun, would be awesome,” said McCafferty, who has never been to a Vees game. McCafferty and other kids can thank Peters Bros. Construction as they have partnered with the Vees for the next four years to cover the cost of single game tickets. “This partnership will create a positive inﬂuence on the youth of Penticton and will help create an exciting environment each and every night,” said Fred Harbinson, Vees head coach and president. Admission for children age 12 and under is free as long as they’re accompanied by an adult. Though there is no cost for students and children, they are still required to pick up a game ticket at the Valley First Box Ofﬁce (at the South Okanagan Events Centre). Michael Poon also feels it’s a good partnership. Poon used to watch the Vees but stopped because he was busy with sports. “I’m actually running low on cash,” said Poon, adding that this would encourage him to go. “One of my favourite players was Beau Bennett back in the day and right now he is in the NHL.” Joey Cyr, community family services supervisor for the Salvation Army Food Bank, said he’s happy to see the generosity in the community. This will also bring a positive impact to families in need. “There’s not a whole lot of free options,” said Cyr, adding that they help 100 families a month at the food bank. “It’s nice to have this.”

AREA MANAGER Kevin Dolighan, left, of Peters Bros. Construction joined with Penticton Vees captain Cody DePourcq and head coach and president Fred Harbinson at the South Okanagan Events Centre following the announcement of Peters Bros.’ decision to provide free tickets to students 18 years and under.

Harbinson said in his 20 years working in different cities he has never come across a group as generous as Peters Bros. “This is a massive partnership. We are going to be able to open the doors to kids and it’s not going to cost them a dime.” Harbinson himself knows what it will be like for kids to go. Growing up in Calgary, it meant a lot to him to go to games. Harbinson said the youth in the SOEC will energize his team.

“The best games in this building have always been when there are a lot of kids in the building,” said Harbinson. “They bring that energy and excitement. That’s going to be great to see for years to come.” Peters Bros. Construction is a privately owned and operated paving contractor in the Okanagan with its head ofﬁce in Penticton. Peters Bros. Construction has been am active community partner in Penticton, as they’re a major sponsor of the Peach Festival amongst other

community initiatives. “Our main goal is to work with the Vees in providing a positive entertainment option in a safe environment for our youth,” said Peters Bros. Construction spokesperson, Joe Cuzzocrea. “We’re a big supporter of not only the team but the SOEC as well, so we’re very excited about this new partnership.” Single game tickets will be available to the public as of Thursday at 10 a.m. leading up to the Vees home opener Oct. 3 against Salmon Arm.

Prices remain unchanged from last season as adults are $13 and seniors are $11. To alleviate pressure and long line-ups, the Vees will be implementing a new game day walk-up ticket price. Adult and senior tickets will be raised by $1, making adult tickets $14 and senior tickets $12 each. Single game tickets cam be bought throughout the week leading up to games at the Valley First Box Ofﬁce for no additional charge. This new policy doesn’t affect season ticket holders.

Watt wants a council seat Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Campbell Watt is looking to bring his business experience to Penticton city council. The latest entrant to the municipal election race said one of his aims is to ensure that people who are looking to open or start a business have an easier path to do it. “I would say without a doubt I can play a role in making the system better. I have seen over the last couple of years, there have been attempts at change for the better, but I haven’t seen them come to fruition yet,” said Watt, a mortgage broker with Dominion Lending Centres Clear Mortgage. Watt said he remember talking with business advocate George Little about streamlining business licensing. “We actually sat down with city staff and brought this topic up of how much simpler we believed the business licensing process should be.

Local directors seeking re-election Joe Fries

Western News Staff

All three Penticton-area rural directors say they’ll seek re-election in November to keep their seats on the board of the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen. “Some days it would be nice to just drive home and say, ‘This is not my problem’ — especially the (feral) horses, it’s aging me — but I’ve got to keep going,” said Michael Brydon, who’s nearing the end of his second term as the director for the West Bench. Karla Kozakevich, who represents Naramata, said she appreciated working with volunteer boards of the water utility and recreation commission during her first term, and wants to carry on with infrastructure projects planned for the community. “I enjoyed connecting with the people of Naramata and helping them with any questions and concerns,” she added. Also seeking a second term will be Tom Siddon, the director for Okanagan FallsKaleden, who insisted that even at 72 years old, he’s still fit for the job. “My health is still good enough, and I think it helps my mental health to have these kinds of things to wrestle with. I’m not a guy that just wants to sit and play bridge or chase a little, white ball around a

golf course,” said Siddon, a former school trustee and federal cabinet minister. He cited planned works like the revitalization of the Okanagan Falls town centre and a sewer extension to Kaleden and Skaha Estates as projects he’d like to see carried through to completion. Similkameen Directors George Bush and Angelique Wood, and RDOS board chairman Mark Pendergraft, who represents rural Osoyoos, have also confirmed they’ll seek re-election. Allan Patton, the director for rural Oliver, is the only board member to publicly declare he will not run again. “I’ve done three terms and I’ve enjoyed it very much, but I think it’s time to pass on the torch to someone else,” he said, adding that new four-year terms for civic leaders are “a little bit discouraging to me.” Princeton-area Director Brad Hope couldn’t be reached for comment on his political future. There are a total of eight rural directors on the 18-person RDOS board. The rest of the seats are filled by council members appointed by regional municipalities. Anyone interested in running as a rural director in the Nov. 15 election must submit a completed nomination package, available from the RDOS office at 101 Martin Street in Penticton or online at www.rdos.bc.ca, to the RDOS between Sept. 30 and Oct. 10.

Judge dismisses Teneycke’s appeal Joe Fries

Western News Staff

After winning his freedom from jail earlier this month, a high-profile criminal was unable this week to escape a lengthy probation order attached to an earlier offence. Ronald Arthur Teneycke, 52, unsuccessfully appealed to a B.C. Supreme Court judge Wednesday in Penticton to overturn the three-year probationary term he was handed for an October 2013 conviction for drug possession and breach of a previous court order. Court heard at his sentencing hearing last year that Teneycke was arrested after he and a 17-year-old girl were observed snorting methamphetamine in his truck in the parkade

attached to the Penticton casino. In arguing for the three-year probation order, Crown counsellor John Swanson told that hearing “numerous psychological profiles have been prepared on (Teneycke’s) behaviour and virtually all found he is a moderate to high risk to reoffend violently or sexually.” The provincial court judge at that hearing agreed and handed down a six-month jail sentence, plus the three-year probation order, conditions of which include a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew and a requirement Teneycke have no contact with females under 18 unless approved by his probation officer. But in his B.C. Supreme Court appeal Wednesday, Teneycke’s new

Be safe in school zones When school is in session, a 30-km/h school zone speed limit is in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every school day, unless otherwise posted. Remember that vehicles approaching from both directions must stop for school buses when their lights are flashing. Plan ahead and be alert. Driving routes with less traffic in the summer may now face congestion, so give yourself extra time to get to your destination. Take your time and don’t rush - especially through intersections. Look for children especially near or around crosswalks and intersections, and always yield to pedestrians. When dropping off children in a school zone stop and allow them to exit onto the sidewalk side of the car. Never allow a child to cross mid-block. Grant applications Community grants are a key part of supporting our community. Financial assistance is available to non-profit organizations that render services to the residents of the City of Penticton, and which would be significantly impaired without such assistance.

The City of Penticton invites all eligible societies to submit applications for assistance in 2015 under its community grants program. The policy on community grants including eligibility criteria and application form is available on the City’s website at www.penticton.ca/grants. The application deadline is Sept. 30, 2014. All completed application forms must be

lawyer, Michael Welsh, argued for the probationary term to be reduced to just one year since the provincial court judge was “overly swayed by what is questionable use of testing that was done on Mr. Teneycke.” The intent of the order was “really just a matter of keeping (Teneycke) under the thumb of the correctional service because of concerns that were raised about his potential for recidivism,” added Welsh. He also argued the sentence was “not proportionate to the gravity of the offence,” which was his client’s first drug offence and involved just 0.4 grams of methamphetamine. Crown counsellor Cory LaBoucane noted in his reply to Welsh that Teneycke had been handed three-

In his reasons for dismissing the appeal, Justice Terence Schultes said court transcripts from the October 2013 hearing indicate Teneycke’s previous lawyer agreed to three years’ probation in exchange for the Crown dropping a separate bid to have a more restrictive two-year supervisory order placed on him. Such orders can be sought by the Crown against offenders who it believes pose a risk to public safety, but who have already completed their sentences. Schultes also ruled the provincial court judge rightly took Teneycke’s background into consideration.

Wine Sensory Centre opens Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Food and wine was the order of the day for the grand opening of the new Sensory Centre at Okanagan College. Local wineries were popping corks while chefs and students were filling the hall at the Centre of Excellence with the scents of tasty treats they were preparing for 150 guests, including wine and food industry people, college members and B.C. Wine Information Society members. There was a lot to celebrate. Besides officially opening the $650,000, 120-square-metre facility, which was built with a grant from the Wine Information Society and a matching $300,000 grant from The Jim Pattison Foundation, a major deal speaking to the value of the new Sensory Centre to the wine and tourism industry was added to the agenda. Jonathan Rouse, Okanagan College’s director of food, wine and tourism, told the crowd that besides its educational functions, the new Sensory Centre will be host to the Okanagan Wine Festivals Society’s professional judging for the 2015 B.C. Wine Awards. In 2014, nine judges will consider a record 540 entries in the B.C. Wine Awards. The festivals society staff expects more will be entered next year. Martin Lewis, chair of judging for the Okanagan Wine Festivals Society, said they are excited about being able to utilize the new Sensory Centre for their intensive judging sessions. Jim Hamilton, president of the college, said that is an ideal use for the centre, and the kind of role it was intended to fill from the start of planning, when the college started working with local industry to develop the lab two years ago.

hy is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack. Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent. But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies. The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day. This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors. As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine! I turned 90 this year.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries. Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal. I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.

EDITORIAL

opinion

Festival regulations needed in the province Comparatively few of the items brought forward at the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities conferences gain traction, but Penticton introduced an idea at this year’s event that seems to have caught the interest of provincial ministers. In the wake of the Boonstock Music and Arts Festival on the August long weekend, Mayor Garry Litke brought forward the concept of developing provincial regulations to oversee music festivals and other large scale events. Let’s be clear. The problems with the Boonstock Music Festival were not because of loud music, an older population not wanting events for the younger crowd or any of the other theories bandied about on social media before, during and after the August long weekend event. No, the concerns over Boonstock were simply the result of poor planning, decisions and communications on the part of organizers. To mention just a few of the high points, that includes decisions like the ones that led to the loss of the festival’s original security ﬁrm and their replacement with a far less experienced one — which didn’t have the correct licence when it was contracted. That, and other planning decisions, led to the festival being denied a liquor license and the RCMP having to increase their presence during the festival in order to take on some of the security functions. With provincial regulations in place outlining event criteria and timelines for implementation, making use of the provincial government’s regulatory jurisdiction over a range of protective services — policing, health, emergency management, liquor control and others — many of the problems seen during Boonstock and other large festivals could be sidestepped entirely. PENTICTON WESTERN Increasing regulations and government involvement is not something we often suggest, but in the case of the music festival industry — rapidly growing across the province and yet to regulate itself — guidelines and a structured approval process would not only aid events like Boonstock in avoiding pitfalls, but ultimately make these events safer and more enjoyable for everyone.

Shame on you shoplifters and thieves Save your mother’s finger-wagging for someone else, the Internet has become the new way to voice dis approvement in other’s behaviour. There is the crappy parkers of Kelowna Facebook page and more recently a social media campaign of disgruntled airline travellers calling out their fellow passengers for hogging space, clipping their toe nails and an array of other annoying things. Users have found this a place for catharsis; but a group of Penticton business owners and residents use a Facebook group, Penticton Shoplifters and Thieves - Exposed!, as a way to fight frustration. The content is intriguing. From stolen bikes and squatters in hotel rooms, to Last Call Liquor Mart’s vodka cam; the civilian watchdogs post pictures and video exposing people who they believe have stolen from their establishments. Local business owner Leigh Follestaad exposed two thieves this summer via posting the video of them shoplifting to the Facebook group. They were identified by Facebook

users, and in turn Follestaad was lenient with the teens. They came forward to repay the expense of breaking his glass door to steal energy drinks and chocolate bars by working for him. Still, that hasn’t stopped a new crop of thieves from moving in on his store. Follestaad is now offering a $500 reward to anyone who helps get his current suspected shoplifter arrested and to get the person buying the stolen food charged, which he considers just as frustrating. Recently he brought in a case of frozen steaks by request of his customers. Follestaad said he sold one and the other 11 were stolen. He has even gone so far as offering passwords to community members to help be part of the solution. They can access his store security cameras to watch for shoplifters from the comfort of their home or via their cell phones and alert him of anything suspicious. Penticton RCMP Sgt. Rick Dellebuur said shoplifting and petty crime is a problem in the city. He said if he has six ﬁles on his desk, most likely four of them are

just that. “Certainly it is a problem. These people are doing this to feed their drug habits and I think we see shoplifting and petty theft more often than break and enters now because it is easier,” he said. Knowing someone who works at a Penticton retail store, I have heard the stories of thieves shoving their jackets and pants full of high-priced meat, or filling up a cart and running like hell out the doors. Employees can do nothing more than watch. The thieves have even been so brazen to taunt them about their no-chase policy. And these aren’t the type of people who have resorted to stealing to fill their bellies. Dellebuur confirmed there are thieves who sell their goods, including packs of steaks, on the street with the intent to get

money to buy drugs. RCMP are handcuffed in balancing people’s rights — whether that is privacy or protecting their property. They cannot hand out to media the videos or pictures people provide them, they can only use them as a lead for their investigation. Dellebuur said Penticton RCMP are working on solutions. One of them is developing a combined drug task force and property crime reduction unit, that is, once they have the proper resources available. He hopes that will be running here in October. Recent arrests including one man from Quebec, and another in the South Okanagan who is alleged to taken part in at least 21 property crimes, help chip away at problem. But how much is still unknown. “We hope it will make a dent, but there is typically a few people working together, so unless we get them all it might not make much of one,” said Dellebuur. “It only takes a couple of people to wreak havoc on the property crime rate.” One of the obstacles is lengthy delays in

court. A person charged for shoplifting may wait six months or more to get to sentencing. There is also the small ramiﬁcations they face from judges. “The reward for these people quite often is greater than the consequences,” said Dellebuur. He is right. If they get a slap on the wrist from the judge they will be right back out doing it again to feed their drug habit. But it is not only the courts or a RCMP problem. Jails can’t be ﬁlled with shoplifters when there are more serious criminals. Earlier this week B.C. mayors called for the province to address crucial mental health and addiction issues at the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities. There needs to be a stronger framework so RCMP, corrections, health care and social services can work together to help business owners like Follestaad keep his doors open and so the person who uses a bike to get stronger after cancer treatments doesn’t have to worry about it being stolen again.

Decisions should be criticized In newspaper reports the NDP claim we are not getting our money’s worth from Ben Stewart. You will remember that Ben Stewart was formerly the MLA in West Kelowna. He stepped down so Christy Clark could run for his seat. Mr. Stewart has been appointed to a position in the government as the Asia Trade Commissioner. In my opinion his job description should be compared to a top-level civil servant. After all we can’t vote him out. As an example: The deputy minister of finance, would be second under Finance Minister Mike Dejong; the highest civil servant in the finance

Oust the politicians

First of all, I wish to thank Barbara Pigeon for her kind words in today’s Western News (Friday, Sept. 19) and I appreciate her willingness to share her own experiences with us through the paper. A caring community should take care of each individual in its midst regardless of income, living circumstances or situation whenever that care or help is necessary. I’m thankful that when I have really needed help there have been people who were there for me whether it was those whom you’d expect (like family or close friends) or for that matter those who surprise you with their kindness/helpfulness whether acquaintances or even relative/complete strangers. I have been fortunate throughout my life in that sense though I have also experienced times when I’ve been let down, whether by the government or company system(s) or even friends or relations. I have tried, whenever needed, to help others from family to friends or even strangers. What often saddens me is how people in visible need will be ignored by others (the homeless etc.). An example is a couple of Jehovah Witnesses standing near a sleeping homeless person. I witnessed that at Surrey Central Station in Surrey, B.C. I’ve experienced poor treatment by employers similar to what Barbara has described. One employer failed to maintain their vehicles in a safe and healthy condition, another more recent employer failed to pay me what I had earned — they never reimbursed me — they also failed to keep promises of “gifts” for achieving 10 years of service. The company also failed to keep a professional and safe environment for many if not all of their workers. This particular employer was so negligent in how they treated front line staff that I almost lost my life on two separate occasions. I accept my responsibility for

ministry and responsible for the running of that department. Many of you will remember during the 2008 election that one of the planks in David Perry’s platform when running for a seat on School Board 67 was ending double dipping. The double dipper at the time was retired superintendent Gary Doi. Some time after the election Mr. Doi ceased his employment with the school board and isn’t it strange I don’t recall Mr. Doi or the school board suing anyone for defamation even though letters were written criticizing him in the newspapers and he was an issue in the 2008 election.

myself in those two occasions and I could/should have been more careful but definitely the company proved to be a negligent and arrogant firm. Sadly they have managed to succeed on the backs of their employees and spread across Canada and perhaps elsewhere. We need to hold governments and businesses accountable for their actions — it is not so easy for an individual to do so alone. Given the recent scandals of the local, provincial and federal governments, whether it is the Liberals’ handling of the strike/lockout, Harper’s actions throughout his reign or Mayor Litke and the seemingly unaccountable Penticton council, I strongly believe that at each upcoming election there must be a thorough and complete housecleaning of the respective governments which rarely if ever earn their titles of “honourable”. None of the present council in Penticton should be reelected. The same should occur in the provincial and federal elections, not one Liberal nor one Conservative should be reelected. Patrick Longworth Okanagan Falls

UBCM a must

Regarding the issue of how many UBCM delegates Penticton sends each year: I feel that this annual conference should be a must attend for all of our city councillors. How often during the year will this city’s elected representatives have an audience with busy provincial ministers? Not often is my guess. As of Tuesday morning three very important Penticton issues have already been discussed with provincial ministers at this conference. My question is if city council members don’t attend UBCM, can we possibly expect them to accomplish as much by staying in town? I think not. The reason Kelowna has not sent as many delegates is that they obviously have not been overlooked in the provincial

Because David Perry specifically addressed the issue of double dipping in the run-up to the election and was subsequently elected, Gary Doi’s termination became an almost automatic response as civil servants realize that once the voter has spoken and expressed their desire on an issue that desire must be fulfilled. Only in Penticton are senior civil servants spending our tax dollars and making decisions that affect all of us beyond criticism. And, if we do criticize them they spend our tax dollars suing us for defamation. Elvena Slump Penticton

handouts department. We need all of our city council members on point at UBCM. Alan Kidd Penticton

Support for Vassilaki

In response to John Vassilaki’s decision to refrain from attending the UBCM meeting I offer my comments in support of this decision. I served on the executive of the DPA for a number of years and attended every annual conference and gained a wealth of information useful to the organization. However, after nine years on council we are fortunate to have a candidate for Mayor that knows all there is to know about the operation of a City. Indeed barring time conflicts I am sure John could teach every seminar and lead every discussion at the conference. I would also like to applaud his fiscal prudence. As a former business owner I always like to “do the math” on business decisions. John’s estimate on the cost of attending was between $2,000 and $3,000 so I assumed $2,500. If I divide this among the 35,000 citizens of Penticton this is 8 cents per person. I am not sure where the 8 cents will show up but I appreciate it. All this leaves me in a quandary as I am not sure whether to vote for John or not, because if he is elected he will most likely have to go and I will be faced with the challenge of incorporating an extra 8 cents every year in my budget for the next four years. However I have decided to throw caution to the wind. Go John, go. Cliff Bristow Penticton

Courts have only one role

Justice Susan Griffin’s findings that removing legislation that regulates class size and composition from the B.C. teachers collective agreement is a violation of the teachers basic human rights of freedom of association is nothing less than bizarre.

The government is the employer, not the union, and it will always be the employer’s prerogative and responsibility to determine job descriptions, class sizes and composition, and the amount of money required to deliver public education. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation claim that collective agreement entitlements become constitutionally protected in perpetuity is equally bizarre, but not surprising. Governments write all legislation for, and on behalf of the people, and expired collective agreements only serve as templates in future contract negotiations. The only mandate the courts have, is to defend that legislation whenever it is being challenged. If our judges so desperately want to write our laws, they should put their names on the ballot and ask the people for a mandate to represent them in the legislatures. The courts have only one role to play in the B.C. teacher’s relationship with the union, and that is simply to enforce the teacher’s basic human rights to freedom of association, and ban mandatory membership in the union. Governments, the courts, and unions do not change our human rights.

Walking the troubled path of autism Mark Brett

Western News Staff

At an early age, George Noriega knew he was different from most of the other kids. What he didn’t realize was the living hell those differences would make his life as he got older. Without the early intervention needed to guide him along his troubled path of autism, compounded by the added side effects of chronic anxiety and depression, he had difficulty with almost every aspect of his existence. “I was kind of a loner, I grew up in Arizona, out in the woods, so I would just take off with my .22 rifle and spend an awful lot of time alone. Then like a lot of boys like that (with similar conditions) I got picked on relentlessly and I didn’t finish high school and got into a lot of trouble,” recalled Noriega, who is now 60 but wasn’t diagnosed until he was in his 40s. “Prior to being diagnosed, when a lot of things go wrong in your life, you know as a child, a teenager young adult and adult, you can’t help but wonder is there something wrong with me, or is it everybody around me, or is it both? “Looking back there’s a lot of things that you said you regret and can’t take back and a lot of things that you’ve done that you can’t do over. In life you don’t get any do overs. Noriega feels that thought would be obvious to most people, but for him that’s not the case. “It’s easy for lines to get all blurred. You say something wrong or that gets misinterpreted then maybe you think to yourself, maybe it’s better not to talk to anybody, but then you don’t fit in and you can be bounced out of your job. Unfortunately, I’ve had that experience too many times.” Noriega now lives in Penticton with Teri, his wife of 15 years and while

he admitted the first part of his life was “more sad than happy,” since meeting Teri, getting diagnosed and the help he needed, all that has turned around — not perfect — but much better than it was. “I’ve spent most of my life, well like when you see National Geographic you see the salmon swimming upstream and one of them jumps into the mouth of the grizzly, that’s me,” said Noriega with a wry grin as he talks about his former world. “I have a lot of empathy for the salmon. Life is like the river, but instead of going with the flow you go against it, and to add insult to injury when you jump, you jump into the jaws of death, like can it get any worse than that?” With his recent decision to “come out,” Noriega hopes to be able to help others by talking to them about why it is so important

for parents to recognize the cries of help from their children who may suffer from the condition. “I want people to know that it doesn’t go away,” he said. “When you’re young, the caregivers are mom and dad, but when you’re a young adult who is going to take care of him?” While the medical terminology regarding his conditions continue to change, initially it was Asperger’s Syndrome, then Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Noriega points out no matter how you add up the numbers the end result is the same. “You may be able to read Socrates in Greek but you can’t change a light bulb or fix a flat tire,” he explained. Many of his autism symptoms vary degrees of what Noriega described as “the good, the bad and the ugly.” Under good, he includes

bad he includes the fact intervention and research is generally geared towards kids. And the ugly were the “meltdowns” or fits of anger he often experienced. “The experts forget that we do grow up and do not remain as children,” said Noriega. “If you delve into the literature you find a lot of these people, especially males, end up committing suicide or not being able to be able to hold down a job, failed relationships, just a lot of misery. Autism is not fixable, it can be mitigated but there is no cure.” According to George, who ironically spent most of his career working at jobs such as a youth mental health clinician, child and family counsellor and other related jobs, Teri has been the saving grace. It was only after living together for some time she noticed something wasn’t quite right and the couple’s, long and often difficult road to some sense of normalcy began. “I had no idea (about George’s condition) but eventually I put two and two together,” said Teri, who has a graduate degree in nursing. “People like this, they don’t get it, the light bulb doesn’t go on, they learn to cover it up and they become very, very good at covering it up and they’re not sure what they’re covering up. Really, people with autism are just like everyone else, only more so. “It’s exhausting because when there is a disability and you didn’t know about it, then all of a sudden how we can make this work? But I never met anybody who tries as hard. I really have to be aware of my limitations and his limitations of my strengths and his strengths and bring them together in a relationship and make them work for us and it is.” Her husband agreed: “We’ll make it. My life is now more happy than sad.”

The troubled path of autism is the first in a feature series by Mark Brett on mental health issues faced by community members and their loved ones.

Special to the Western News

An impulsive turn during a pilgrimage to the deep south inspired Canadian blues singer Rita Chiarelli to take on a musical film project that provided inmates serving life sentences with a sense of hope, purpose and pride. “I was planning a trip. I wanted to hook up with Highway 61, and go all the way down to New Orleans,” said Chiarelli, who will be playing the Dream Cafe on Sept. 26 to Sept. 28. Chiarelli was born in Hamilton, the daughter of hard-working Italian immigrants. Growing up, she used to listen to radio stations in New York, and soon developed a taste for blues music. As a performer, she carries a threeoctave voice and has received a Juno Award and won every major Canadian blues award. Her first album, Road Rockets, was released in 1992. Since then, she’s added eight more albums, including the soundtrack for the her documentary film project, Music From The Big House, which premiered in 2012. The movie was shot on location at the Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola. The idea for the film began about 14 years ago, when she was planning a road trip from Toronto with stops in Nashville and Memphis, Tenn., and Tupelo, Miss., the birthplace of Elvis Presley. While she was on the Internet mapping out points of interest, she found information about the Louisiana State prison, which she’d heard little about previously. “Some recordings came up from Angola, from the 20s, the 30s, 40s, and it was fascinating,” she said, noting folk and blues singers such as Huddie Ledbetter (“Lead Belly”), “Hogman Maxey” and Robert Pete Williams were incarcerated there. “These were done with somebody holding the mic up. These recordings were just, like, raw. It was absolutely fascinating.” While cruising along Highway 61 on her trip, Chiarelli spotted a sign that read: Angola-Louisiana State Penitentiary turn right. “I tell you honestly, I never planned any of it. There was never a plan to go there.” On a whim, she pulled into a gas station and asked if she could use the phone to call

the penitentiary. “The gal behind the counter knew the number by heart because her boyfriend was in there,” said Chiarelli. She told one of the female wardens who she was, that she was currently on a blues pilgrimage, asked for permission to go to the prison, and was granted access. “She drove me around. It was 18,000 acres. It’s the size of Manhattan, roughly,” said Chiarelli. “It’s bordered on three sides by the Mississippi River and it’s an actual farm. In those days, if you can imagine, the guys still wore the stripes.” The warden took her to the cell block

where Lead Belly had been incarcerated, and where the prison used to house female prisoners. She also learned the penitentiary site was once a plantation. “I just found the whole place really haunting,” said Chiarelli. “There’s just this vibration. All the suffering that’s happened on this land.” About 10 years later, she submitted a proposal to hold a concert at the prison. The warden told her they’d received many proposals, including some from famous performers, and many of them were rejected. See BLUES on Pg. 11

Waxing Poetic unveiled at Shatford Western News Staff

A variety of innovative wax works will be on display as part of an upcoming art show opening Sept. 25 at the Shatford Centre. Waxing Poetic: Encaustic Art in the Okanagan is happening in co-operation with CanwaxWest, and features artists from throughout the area. Local encaustic artists Judy Byer and Bethany Handfield said the event brings together encaustic creations that will represent the variety of what can be created by melting wax onto a canvas.

“The Okanagan is so lucky to have so many artist working in encaustic,” said Handfield, adding the show also provides a social element for artists and will allow them to share their skills and experiences about working with wax with others. Byers talked about the unique characteristics of encaustic painting. “I like the luminosity of wax,” she said. “You can get this enormous depth of colour.” Both Handfield and Byers only began encaustic artwork a couple of years ago learning from Thea Haubrich,

who died in 2013. Haubrich was first introduced to encaustic style in 1996, and when she and her husband moved to Penticton, she began holding workshops and teaching others. Handfield said no one had heard of encaustic art before Haubrich introduced it and began promoting its uniqueness and versatility. “Without Thea and her influence, it would not have happened the way it did,” said Byers. “We’re definitely carrying forward the flame she ignited,” said Haubrich. Both enjoy the supportive nature of encaus-

tic painting, making reference to an “encaustic art circle” which allows painters to get together and share their ideas and techniques to help improve one another’s work. They also noted that compared to painting in oil or watercolour, encaustic has a faster learning curve. Handfield and Byers were both painters before they began working with encaustic under Haubrich’s tutelage. Byers has used photos she’s taken and included them in her paintings while Handfield has used a variety of “found items” such as keys, springs, fabric and old computer paper and incorporated them into her works. “With encaustic art, you can bring whatever your style or practice is to your work,” said Handfield. The event kicks off at the Shatford Centre at 6 p.m. It is followed by a talk with guest artist Shary Bartlett at 7 p.m. A second artist talk with Tracy Proctor also happens at the Shatford on Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. Works will also be on display at the Shatford

new voice of anti-bullying presented Western News Staff

Anti-bullying author and illustrator Yam Cooper introduces a cast of characters in his new book. The story of Bill and His House on the Hill is inspired in part by his experiences with bullying and war when growing up. The book explores the essence of friendship and social norms and includes an educational activity guide for parents and educators. The South Okanagan author involves themes of creativity, bullying, friendship, discrimination, diversity, and communication. Cooper said this book was born out of his passion to make even a small positive contribution

NAME:

to lift the fog of bullying that afflicts so many people around the world; however, it brings many values and messages about various essential life skills. “I want to spread a message to people of hope. This book can inspire people with its alternative points of view to the reader about new ways to deal with conflict, ways to see ourselves, deal with communication barriers, using innovative ideas and the imagination,” said Cooper. The story blossoms with the adventures of a man searching for friendship who is ousted by society because his hair is actually grass. Bill’s journey of perseverance and inventiveness to overcome adversity and dis-

crimination has many layers and brings an urgent message for today’s modern world. This witty and surprising tale for all ages is deep and thought-provoking, yet frolics along lightly, weaving humour, insight, and heart into a world of rhyme and imagination. Cooper is inviting parents and children ages six and up to join him on Sept. 26 at 6:30 p.m. at the Leir House Cultural Centre for an event tied in with B.C. Culture Days. Cooper will demonstrate the use of his book as an educational tool in an anti-bullying workshop where participants will learn about different types of bullying. The author will also read from his book.

Nov. 2 — The Contenders Tour with Valdy and Gary Fjellgaard at Barking Parrot at 7:30 p.m. Tickets at The Dragon’s Den, 250-492-3011. Nov. 27 — Legendary musician John Fogerty’s coast-to-coast Canadian tour stops in Penticton at the SOEC, celebrating 1969 the extraordinary year John Fogerty wrote and produced three seminal albums with Creedence Clearwater Revival.

After giving her proposal the go-ahead, Chiarelli suggested to the warden that meeting some of the musically inclined inmates and performing a concert with them would be more interesting for everybody. Chiarelli said she had to work hard to earn their trust. She shared how she grew up in a poor family and experienced difﬁcult times as she began her musical career, and offered a personal testimony to music’s transformational power in her life. “They were a little skeptical and then I got up and sang with them … and sort of won them over,” she said. When the warden told her a concert involving the inmates had never happened before, Chiarelli suggested making a movie

about the experience. She contacted film director Bruce McDonald, who had used her song, Have You Seen My Shoes? in his film Roadkill. When McDonald agreed to work on the film, everything fell into place. Chiarelli said because so many of the inmates were African Americans who were born in the south, they were rooted in blues music. Because most were raised among impoverished conditions and had experienced social injustice, they could relate to the pained lyrical expression and suffering found in the blues. “What it did for me, was (give me) an incredible opening of the heart,” she said. “In working with these guys, it’s not always bad people that do bad things. Because of where they come from, because of where they are socially, because of what’s going on, they

get into situations.” Chiarelli said the ﬁlm’s theme is about compassion and forgiveness, enveloped in music, for both herself and for the prisoners. When they realized that Chiarelli viewed them as musicians and as people, and not as monsters, she said it gave them a sense of dignity. “It gave them a sense of pride and a sense of purpose and a sense that maybe somebody’s listening,” she said. “We gave them a chance to tell their story if they wanted. I think for whatever time, it gave them a sense of hope and happiness, and the joy that they felt in performing.” Both the Friday and Saturday shows are sold out. Tickets are still available for Sunday and are $40. They are available by calling 250-490-9012. Showtime is 8 p.m.

Trio of books perfect for light reading

Heather Allen Armchair book club

Many parents agree that with school starting late this year, the tran-

sition to weightier fall reading just hasn’t happened. With the kids back in class, I’m sure we’ll soon feel ready for a new season, but until then, here are three less demanding books to peruse: No Relation by Terry Fallis, The Little Old Lady who Broke All the Rules by Catharina Ingelman Sundberg, and The Storied Life of AJ Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin.

Canadian author Terry Fallis won CBC’s Canada Reads contest in 2011 with his debut novel, The Best Laid Plans. This light political romp introduced Fallis to a nation of readers, and was soon followed by a sequel, The High Road. Fallis’ latest book, No Relation, is a departure from politics. But as with his ﬁrst two books, No Relation is written in a breezy,

humorous style, featuring silly plot twists and quirky characters. As we start the story, Earnest Hemmingway’s life is falling apart, and he’s pretty sure the cause of this ruin is that he shares a name with a famous person. Earnest is ridiculed at hotel check-in counters, and trafﬁc stops are never routine. Fed up, he decides to start a name fame club for those similarly afﬂicted.

At the ﬁrst meeting he is joined by, among others, Mahatma Gandhi, Jacqueline Kennedy and Clark Kent. The group instantly bonds, forms a YMCA softball team, and a quick-paced — bordering on ridiculous — story ensues. Typical of Fallis, even the most far-fetched twists seem to work out neatly in the end. If you loved the strangely named book The 100-Year-Old Man who Climbed out the Window and Disappeared, you’re in luck. I don’t know if it’s Swedish tradition or a marketing ploy, but another Swedish author, Catharina Ingelman Sundberg, has penned an equally lengthy titled book about retirees

called The Little Old Lady who Broke All the Rules. This time, a group of octogenarians have had it with retirement home living. With budget cuts to their facility, they decide they’d probably be treated better in prison. So to bring some adventure into their lives, and presumably some prison time, they form an unlikely criminal gang. The story isn’t as absurd or as intrinsically funny as the 100-Year-Old Man, but still worth a few laughs. The Storied Life of AJ Fikry features a cranky small-island bookstore owner, who has recently been widowed and started drinking too much. He is an unlikely romantic hero,

having retreated into a world of books, and away from real life. That is, until a baby is abandoned in his shop. Author Gabrielle Zevin is an accomplished writer, and in a delightfully accessible way, delves into what the books we love say about us, about why some people become reluctant readers while others live through ﬁctional characters, and ultimately how the act of reading itself can shape and change us. Thoughtful yet still a light read, The Storied Life of AJ Fikry is a perfect transition to fall reading. Heather Allen is a books columnist living in Penticton.

Levi George installation explores environment Western News Staff

A local artist has created an installation that will take a unique look at the environment that surrounds us. Levi “Snk’lip” George created the installation Our Nature to challenge the perception of what is considered natural and normal, and to take a closer look at the environment in which society lives. The installation takes viewers on a scenic walk through a natural environment made of waste materials and household items which people are accustomed to seeing and using daily, and serves to remind them that although all things come from nature, not everything can return to nature. “Art is expression through life experiences,” he said. “The teachings from my culture and the environment I grew up in are very transparent in my work. I believe art is a form of communication from the innermost part of a person’s being. My deﬁnition of a successful artist is to develop and nurture this ability to communicate with others.” George is a member of the Syilx Nation, and a young father, uncle, and role model within his community. He sees his artwork as a way to inspire his community to be proud of its culture and commitment and connection to the land. He practices a diversity of visual art forms, and creates anything from paintings and sculptures, to graphic design and contemporary street wear. He uses natural materials and Syilx teachings to bring cultural concepts and images into current times. George hopes his artwork will raise an awareness of society’s connection or disconnection to Mother

ARTIST LEVI GEORGE sets up an exhibit at the Penticton Art Gallery for his opening that takes place on Sept. 27.

Acting troupe brings Narnia to the stage

Art GAllery hAppeninGs — penticton Art Gallery curatorial assistant Brooke nyhus gets set to hang Cher, a painting by tim Uhrynowich that is part of the As Our Garden Grows Watch Us heal exhibit that opens saturday.

Western News Staff

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is coming to the stage at the St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. A local acting troupe has adapted the book for the stage, and is looking for actors, costumers, stagehands, and set designers to join the production, slated for six December performances. There are roles for four children, and 12 to 16 adults. Theatrical experience is not required. Pastor Colin Cross said he quite often gets asked: Why put on a play in a church? “Nothing could be more natural. After all, when post-classical drama first returned to Western Europe, it first found its niche in the cathedral courtyards of medieval towns and villages,” said Cross. “Moreover, the church at its best has always cherished the work of creative people, the Bible itself a consummate work of art. St. Andrew’s not only hosts the annual Walk to Bethlehem, but has now begun offering plays to round out the Christmas season.” The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe is their fourth production, after A Victorian Christmas (2011), It’s a Wonderful Life (2012) and Miracle on 34th Street (2013). The upcoming production will appeal to all ages as the characters take the audience to Narnia, where the White Witch has cast a spell that makes it always winter and never Christmas. The heros battle the forces of evil, discovering that love is the deepest magic of all. When he was about 16, writer C. S. Lewis saw a picture in his mind. From this came The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, published 1950, the first of seven Chronicles of Narnia. Since 1950, Narnia has taken the world by storm, selling over 100 million copies in 47 languages. Cross said it is hard to explain why the Chronicles have had so much appeal, but said Laura Miller (writing in The Magician’s Book: A Skeptic’s Adventures in Narnia) once made a very good try: “A long time ago, I opened a book, and this is what I found inside: a whole new world and then that world turned out to be made of even more books ... At nine I thought I must get to Narnia or die.” For more information, please call the church at 250-492-8304. The casting call takes place on Tuesday, Sept. 30, at 7 p.m. Those attending are asked to use the back entrance of the church, off Wade Avenue.

College toasts to opening of Wine Sensory Centre From WINE on Pg. 5

The facility has been designed and built to optimize wine and food sensory experiences, and includes equipment for proper wine storage, a demonstration kitchen with multi-media capacity and a fully-equipped caterer’s kitchen. “We are doing all the bits and pieces, so we decided a couple of years ago it was time to put it all together,” said Hamilton. With the rising level of sophistication in the wine, food, tourism and related industries, he continued, the college needed to up the bar as well. “We have always had really good culinary arts and wine programming. What we need to do now is produce programming that is going to be of international calibre,” said Hamilton. “We are well on our way with this facility, it will be a tremendous asset for us.” “There is no better first impression than putting your senses to the test here,” said Drysdale, as he poured out glasses of a mystery wine for the groups to taste. The new Sensory Centre, he said, is an important part of keeping the Okanagan on the world stage. “It is the same as travelling to Tuscany or France. This is going to be our wine destination. It is about being able to share with people what we do here, what we do very well,” said Drysdale. “This is a place for us to be able to share what we know

with people that are as passionate as we are for these products.” The new Sensory Centre, he said, will help enhance and elevate the industry as well as helping educate locals. “I think it’s great. I think it is going to be huge in the future with more access to food and wine education,” he said. Gavin Miller, winemaker at the Upper Bench Estate Winery and Creamery, agrees. “Wine is all about sensory evaluation, so the better that is taught, the better it is explained to the public and also the better we make our wine,” said Miller. More than 150 students have already made use of the Sensory Centre since it started

operating, and Hamilton said it wouldn’t have been such a success without the support of community relationships and partners like the B.C. Wine Information Society, for which it is named. “This will be a tremendous asset for the wine industry and the region,” said Keith Bevington, president of BCWIS. “We are proud to have our name on this facility and to have it located in Penticton. Our customers at the Wine Information Centre should know that the purchases they make through our store have helped make this possible. Okanagan College is helping to educate and train the individuals the wine and tourism industries need.”

Special to the Western News

When two Penticton ladies discovered the benefits of a support system for those caring for family members with Parkinson’s Disease, they decided it was important to have something similar locally. Judy MacKenzie and Lois Dunham are the contact people for the Penticton Parkinson’s Care Partners Group. MacKenzie said she and Dunham realized the benefits in sharing some of the common changes that can occur for those with the disease. which is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system. The most common symptoms are related to difficulties in walking, slowness of movement and shaking or rigidity in parts of the body. The two learned about a Parkinson’s group that was happening in Kelowna and decide to attend some sessions to try it out. “We found just a wonderful group up there that were going through similar types of things,” she said. “Just to walk in the door, and know that all of those people are facing some of the same things that you are, was the support. Knowing that the things that you discussed, they could relate to, was helpful.” They felt the therapeutic nature of simply coming together and having coffee and sharing their concerns and challenges with a group of like-minded individuals. A person with Parkinson’s will experi-

ence physical changes, as well challenges in communicating or interacting with others, especially as the disease progresses, said MacKenzie. “As it progresses, of course you’re taking on more and more of a role in the home,” she said. Being able to bring their concerns into the open around a group of like-minded individuals who have been experiencing similar emotions

offered some comfort. “We just realized that we weren’t the only ones that were dealing with this, and that there had to be others out there because Parkinson’s has become such a well-known disease and a prevalent one,” she said. “We really felt that if we were felt supported by the group in Kelowna that perhaps there was something we could do here in Penticton for others that were

going through the same thing. It is a drop-in, peer support group providing a private and comfortable place to talk about the disease. The first meeting was held Sept. 18 at Bethel Church with future meetings happening on the third Thursday of each month from 10 a.m. to noon. “We’re not there to take on the role of doctors or counsellors or anything like that,” said MacKenzie. “It’s really just a group for us to get together and share with each other and to support each other.” Those interested in attending are asked to contact MacKenzie at jmacken1@shaw.ca or call 250-770-9715.

Operation expanding across the country Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Economic gardening is not a new concept, but a group of local business advocates say it is still relatively unknown in Canada, though not in the South Okanagan. That’s why they believe Penticton is in an ideal position to become a major centre for Canada. Peter Haubrich, business development and innovation consultant for Okanagan College is chair of the fledgling Canadian Centre for Business Growth. “Our target is all of Canada but we will roll out slowly, starting in B.C. and going over the mountains,” said Haubrich, who was also founder of the Okanagan Research and Innovation Centre. With C2BG, however, Haubrich has shifted focus from startups to what he calls “stage two” companies. “The sweet spot for this kind of economic gardening is a stage two company, which is roughly that your business is proven, you have traction in the market, now you want to grow” said Haubrich. The concept of helping was developed in the late 1980s after Littleton, Colo. lost a major employer and 7,000 jobs. Chris Gibbons realized that tax breaks and other incentives can draw in new business, but companies leave when the tax breaks run out or something else better comes along. “Everybody is competing. Why don’t we grow our own companies? Grow what you have,” said Haubrich. “Companies that are already here, have a reason to be here. They are embedded in the community, they have roots here.” Penticton was part of a four-year pilot project which started in 2000, proving the effectiveness of the concept with 100 companies. “The result of the pilot was that we had 70 new jobs generated, we had three new products,” said Haubrich. “We had over $4 million investments. That included wellknown companies, like Structurlam, but also smaller companies like Bead Trails. The idea is to supply companies with the infor-

mation they need to grow, which can include everything from information on new markets, industry trends, database research and a host of other services. Su Baker of Community Futures, is the research team leader for C2BG. Because it is fairly expensive to get a program up and running, Baker said there are few similar ones. C2BG, she explained, is an extension of the eco-

nomic gardening program offered through Community Futures. “We are wanting to expand the program. We started it originally to support businesses in the South Okanagan,” she said. “We are looking to build a partnership with Okanagan College and move it to the college and then really build a market intelligence centre, which fits with the Centre of Excellence.”

BUILDING UP — A 270-tonne crane sits at the ready Thursday at a job site on Reservoir Road in Penticton. The big machine, owned by Eagle West Cranes and based in Abbotsford, was driven here to lift concrete walls for a tilt-up house project being undertaken by Serenity Builders from Summerland. The walls panels, visible in the foreground, are poured on the ground and then lifted into place.

Okanagan Falls starts work to preserve landmark chimney Joe Fries

Western News Staff

What’s believed to be the oldest piece of modern history in Okanagan Falls has now been nominated for inclusion on a community heritage registry. Known simply as Michael Keogan’s chimney, the stone structure, a few kilometres south of the community, is believed to have been built in the 1870s’ by its namesake, according to a statement of historical significance prepared for the board of the Regional District of OkanaganSimilkameen. Keogan built a cabin served by the chimney to “prove up” his claim to the land, which he was later granted by the Crown. The report explained. The Irishman was the first white settler in the area to receive such a grant. A few timbers from the cabin remain at the site, now a field that’s part of a highway rightof-way, but little else has survived, other than the chimney. Thelma Detjen, treasurer of the Okanagan Falls Heritage and Museum Society, said she’s “very concerned” about protecting the stone structure. “That’s the only remaining physical (part) of any (original) settlement here,” she said, adding the society has been trying for years to have the area around the chimney declared a heritage site.

Okanagan Falls, said he too is eager to see the site protected and enhanced, perhaps with a chain around it, plus an explanatory plaque and picnic area. “It’s not going to become a Grist Mill. We’re not going to restore it or

anything. It’s just there to be a little memory,” he said. “It tells a story a story of how the community got started.” The ranch that Keogan later operated near the cabin was rededicated in 2008 as the Ke-

ogan Sports Park. The RDOS board is expected in October to officially add the chimney to its community heritage registry. This could open up grant opportunities to pay for upgrades to the site and further protect it from development.

years firefighters have been partnered with Muscular Dystrophy Canada to raise money and awareness. It’s been a tradition with firefighters,” said Ryan Bazley, the union’s local spokesman. “Over time, people with neuromuscular disease, their muscles deteriorate and we want to help them lead a more comfortable life and help find a cure. “Wheelchairs, respiratory care costs a lot of money to afford and we just want to help with that. Our main focus is to help them live a comfortable life and help find a cure.” On Sept. 26 firefighters will be at Scotiabank South Branch 1-4 p.m. and Sept. 27 will be at Safeway 11a.m.-2 p.m. Bazley added firefighters in Penticton are very much involved with those with MD apart from just the fundraising. “Absolutely we have a personal connection with them,” he said. “We have about 20 people in Penticton and the surrounding area who have a neuromuscular disorder. We take them birthday cakes we partake in wheelchair soccer and they also come out and help us raise money for the cause.” Funds raised by the Okanagan Valley firefighters are used to provide support for those living muscular dystrophy, which includes over 150 types of neuromuscular disorders that are characterized by the wasting and progressive weakness of muscles. Over time, many suffers are unable to walk, speak, or ultimately breathe. And while there may not be a cure yet, researchers are getting closer and the quality and longevity of those suffering from the disorders have improved significantly. “Because of our fundraising and awareness about 10 years ago the expectant age of a person with muscular dystrophy only lived to about 16 or 17 years old and now they’re living to 30 or 40 years old,” said Bazley. “That shows what we do is making a difference.”

Vees to remain atop BCHL’s Interior Black Press

It’s the 53rd season in the B.C. Hockey League and the Interior Division appears to be even more balanced than last year when the playoff race went down to the final weekend. The defending champion Vees appear primed to repeat, but after that, the Interior spots are wide open. Again, one or two very good teams will miss the post-season dance. Black Press sports reporters and editors have assessed the rosters and predicted the following finishes:

1. Penticton Vees

Key Returnees: F Matthew Serratore (5-9-14), Steen Cooper (9-32-41), Riley Alferd (7-17-24), Jack Ramsey (9-16-25), Cody DePorucq (20-18-38) and Cam Amantea (10-7-17). D Patrick Sexton (3-6-9, 66 PIM), Jarod Hilderman (1-7-8). G Hunter Miska (19-12-2, 2.26 goals against average, 2 SO, .915 save percentage.) Rookie Sensations: Tyson Jost, 16, helped the Okanagan Rockets major midget team earn bronze at the Telus Cup. Jost racked up 44 goals and 88 points in 36 B.C. Major Midget League games. Jost, who potted a hat-trick against Alberni Valley in the Bauer BCHL Showcase on the weekend, was invited to Hockey Canada’s under-17 hockey challenge development camp with Vees teammate, defenceman Dante Fabbro. Also 16, Fabbro was the 2013 Hockey Now B.C. Minor Hockey Player of the Year. He tallied 22 goals and 61 points in 38 games with the Vancouver Northwest Giants. D Miles Gendron was drafted by the Ottawa Senators last summer. Gendron is 6-foot-2, 180 pounds and bring skill to the blueline. Lewis Zerter-Gossage, considered more of a playmaker than shooter, pulled a hat-trick in an 11-2 smothering of Surrey Eagles in the Showcase. Zerter-Gossage is 6-foot-2, 190 pounds and played for Kent School last season. Zerter-Gossage is committed to Harvard for 2015-16. Strengths: The Vees will possess a strong transition game as they play with speed. The D will also be moving the puck quicker. Vees coach/GM Fred Harbinson said when they have the ability to create turnovers, they will be heading into the offensive zone in a hurry and put teams on their heels. Harbinson also feels they have done a decent job adding size. “Someone made a comment about Jost being a small forward,” said Harbinson. “He’s 195 pounds. He’s not

small. Zerter-Gossage is just a shade under 6-3. I think we play big. I think our guys have gotten stronger. Jack Ramsey (6-foot-3, 191 pounds) has gotten stronger. Demico Hannoun (6feet, 195 pounds) is a big forward. I think size is not going to be an issue for us.” Coach’s quote Fred Harbinson: “We have a lot of young players that I think are just gong to get better with time. If we keep working with them on a day-to-day basis, and they are willing to put in that work … I think you will see us by second half of the year, we are going to be better than we are now. This is one of the deepest teams we’ve had.”

2. Merritt Centennials

Key Returnees: F Diego Cuglietta (19-37-56), F Gavin Gould (13-16-29), F James Neil (10-19-29), F Adam Tracey (12-14-26), D Shane Poulsen (7-1926), D Jake Clifford (4-14-18)

r e su semnsam tions

Rookie Sensations: Head coach and GM Luke Pierce and his assistant Joe Martin once again spent the summer looking for offence. They found some gems in Americans John Shiavo (94), and Michael Ederer (96), along with home-grown talent Braden Fuller (95) and Nick Fidanza (96). Shiavo, from Long Island, NY, is a latecomer to ice hockey having grown up playing the inline version of the game. He has unreal hands and a nose for the net. He attended the New York Islanders development camp this summer. Ederer, another New Yorker, put up big numbers (30-23-53) with the Buffalo Jr. Sabres of the OJHL last year and is committed to St. Lawrence University in 2015. Fuller, from Grande Prairie, and Fidanza, from Kamloops, both excelled in the KIJHL last season. The former netted 17-24-41 with the Beaver Valley NiteHawks, while the latter posted 21-

27-48 skating for the Chase Heat. The Cents’ revamped blueline has added imposing Matt Foley (95) from Longmeadow, Mass. and promising 1997born youngsters) Tyrell Buckelly (OHA Varsity Reds) and Cooper Prechal (Princeton Posse). This year’s unheralded sleeper could be 17-year-old Colin Grannary of Delta. Strengths: All good things start in goal, and the Cents’ off-season acquisition of 20-year-old Jonah Imoo from the Powell River Kings bodes well for the new season. The BCHL veteran and 2013 World Junior A Challenge participant has outstanding ability and tremendous leadership qualities. The return of 11 veterans should bring both stability and maturity to the ranks, while the new, young blood will contribute a considerable amount of fresh enthusiasm and energy. Coach’s Quote Luke Pierce: “We

are once again excited to get the BCHL season underway with a solid group of veterans and promising new recruits. We have what appears to be a very mature group of players with experience winning at many different levels of hockey. Our division looks to be even stronger than last year, and we recognize the daunting challenge it will be to get ourselves to the top. We will once again rely on our depth and experience to guide us through those challenges, and are excited about what lies ahead this season.”

Rookie Sensations: The SilverBacks have added two local boys with WHL pedigree in Shane Danyluk and Carson Bolduc. Danyluk, a centre, played 248 games for the Prince Alberta Raiders scoring 77 points. LW Bolduc played 121 games in Prince George and Kamloops. Calgary F Nick Josephs played two seasons for the Junior B Kelowna Chiefs, amassing 151 points in only 74 games. Strengths: A young but mobile defence led by Andrew Farny and Cole McCaskill will help to bolster a fast, skilled offence with a lot of depth that is capable of scoring from all four lines. Adding Bolduc and Danyluk, both who have WHL experience, is a major boost to the size and lethality of the ‘Backs offence. Coach’s Quote: Brandon West, “I’ve been really impressed by the level of skill and character shown by our players throughout camp and preseason. We have addressed our team’s concerns, and have taken positive steps forward.”

situation because I don’t know the players and they don’t know who I am or what I’m all about so we’re going to grow together. It’s gonna be a fun year with some ups and downs. I told them we’re going to have some long days here.”

5. Trail Smoke Eaters

Key Returnees: F Scott Davidson (16-19-35), F Bryan Basilico (16-16-32), F Jake Lucchini (8-18-26), D Zane Schartz (3-15-18), G. Adam Todd. Rookie Sensations: The Smokies will ice plenty of rookies, but early standouts include former USHL F Charlie Zuccarini, 19, and 16-year-old Robbie Johnson up front, D Sheldon Hubbard and Jeremy Lucchini, and G Brett Clark from the Keystone Cup winning Beaver Valley Nitehawks. High expectations also surround Army commits Bryan Gerstenfield (D) from Connecticut and Ryan Swanson (D) from Minnesota, and Brown commit Conner Wynne. Strengths: Trail may be looking for an element of surprise with 10 rookies, but coach Nick Deschenes has mined some legitimate talent, including eight players with commitments to NCAA Division 1 schools. He has also acquired veteran players like Trail natives (F) Craig Martin (Alberni) and (F) Dallas Calvin (Vernon), (F) Harlan Orr (Alberni, Salmon Arm), and Coquitlam’s Victor Dombrovskiy (D) who played two seasons with the Rivermen in Langley. Mix in the returning veterans and talented rookies, the Smokies should have balance throughout the lineup. Coach’s Quote: Nick Deschenes, “To be competitive is our goal, that’s the whole focus, and our mission is to get Trail back on track and in the playoffs. We’re going to push as hard as we possibly can all year. There’ll be games made, there will be setbacks, but hopefully overall we’re going to come out where we want to be.”

Key Returnees: F Liam Coughlin (18-27-45), F T.J. Dumonceaux (7-13-20), D Riley Guenther (6-17-23), D Kenny Citron (1-6-7) Danny Todosychuk (11-9-1, 3.15 GAA, .902 SAV). Rookie Sensations: Thomas Aldworth of Keller, Tex. and Luke Voltin of Blaine, Minn. will join Liam Coughlin of Boston on the Vipers’ allAmerican top line. Aldworth pocketed 3-1-4 last season with the Tri-City Storm of the USHL and 3-3-6 with the Lone Star Brahmas of the NAHL as an 18-yearold. Voltin supplied 3-11-14 with the Lincoln Stars of the USHL and 1-3-4 with the Minot Minotauros of the NAHL. Both are adjusting well this preseason to life in Canada. Jarrod Schamerhorn will be opening night backup goaltender for Todosychuk. Schamerhorn spent last season with the Portland Winterhawks and the Lethbridge Hurricanes of the WHL and went 2-1 with the Merritt Centennials. Strengths: The Vipers have 16 new players following their semifinal run at the Royal Bank Cup and their roster is smaller than normal, but with more speed and moxy. Captain Guenther, the team’s top defenceman last year, anchors a solid D. The roster shakeup will be led by Mark Ferner, who left the WHL Kamloops Blazers an associate coach to become head coach and director of hockey operations in Vernon. Ferner, who guided the Vipers to back-to-back Royal Bank Cup wins in 2009-10, replaces Jason Williamson, who stepped down during training camp due to personal reasons. Coach’s quote: Mark Ferner, “It’s a unique

Key Returnees: F Liam Blackburn (17-26-43), F Jason Cotton (2336-59), F Jordan Masters (19-21-40), G Andy Desautels (27-15-2, 2.57 GAA) and D Ryan Ivey (2-4-6). Rookie Sensations: Forward Kade Kehoe, 18, joins the Warriors from the Saskatoon midget AAA Contacts, where he scored 25 goals and 53 points and displayed a physical side with 111 penalty minutes in 40 games. Like Kehoe forward Josh Bly, 18, also hails from Saskatoon, but played midget hockey last season in North Battleford where he tallied 65 points in 41 games. At 6-foot-3, 200 pounds, Rylan Yaremko will bring size and physicality to the blue line brigade. Yaremko had 19 points in 31 games last season with the Grande Prairie midgets. Strengths: Goaltender and team co-MVP Andy Desautels, 20, was a workhorse between the pipes for the Warriors last season and, with a largely new defensive corps in front of him, will likely need to be sharp again in 2014-15. The club’s offensive punch rests with Liam Blackburn, Jordan Masters and Jason Cotton, a trio of skilled players who will provide veteran leadership. With seven dee not returning, the blueline will be the Warriors’ biggest question mark. Coache’s quote: Rylan Ferster, “We have a lot of new faces, so it’s going to take some time to figure our what kind of team we are. We’ve been happy with our leadership group, the guys who we expect to lead us, when push comes to shove, they’ll need to show the way for us. It will take time to build some chemistry and see how that unfolds.”

Gaining field experience Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Penticton Heat players are getting valuable experience in the Interior Field Lacrosse League. “The number one priority for the coaches is that the kids have fun and enjoy themselves as they develop their field lacrosse skills and knowledge,” said Heat U14 coach Dan Chetner, adding that includes learning about being good teammates. The under-14 squad is a perfect 4-0, while the under-12 team is still looking for their first win. “The U14 team has a core of experienced lacrosse players who are also familiar with the field game,” said Chetner whose team won 11-1 over North Okanagan and 14-2 against Kelowna last weekend. “In addition, we

have brand new players to the game who are working hard to develop their individual skills while learning the team concepts. All of the players are getting a lot of practice and playing experience that helps them develop their skills and abilities quickly.” Chetner likes the prog-

ress, even when facing squads that aren’t as skilled. “It would be easy to avoid team work and focus on individual production, but so far our team is resisting that,” he said. Last weekend, the U12 team lost 19-2 against Kamloops and 8-4 to

Kelowna. It’s a young group that includes players 10 and under because of registration numbers. They face teams not as young. Chetner added that is a challenge and the reason why they are struggling. “I think there are both advantages and disadvantages, but depending upon the focus of the team, the coaches can place the emphasis on the advantages,” he said. “Playing at a higher skill level is a great way to improve, but it does take a certain mindset to see the advantages while not winning games.” This weekend both teams travel to Salmon Arm with the goal of helping the game grow there. Chetner said some players from that city join North Okanagan to play, but the hope is to recruit more players to play in their own community.

AH-CHOO! When the leaves are falling and the kids are back in school, you know that the “cold season” is upon us. We all do our best to avoid the more than 200 different viruses responsible for causing colds, but it is a battle! The average adult gets between 2 and 4 colds a year, while children under 6 and infants, get 3 or 4 times more colds due to their undeveloped defences. Although colds are selflimiting and relatively harmless (with the exception of the “man-cold” of course) they are responsible for an estimated 3040% of absences from school and work. The best prevention for the common cold is frequent hand washing with warm soap and water for at least 15 seconds. Hand sanitizer is a good alternative when soap and water are not available. Taking a regular daily dose of 1 gram of vitamin C before you catch a cold may decrease the duration and severity of a cold, but taking high doses of vitamin C when cold symptoms start does not have the same effect. There is also some evidence that North American

The Penticton Racing Canoe Club (PRCC) had a record-setting season-ending Skaha Downwind race on Saturday. There were 44 athletes in 26 boats competing in the 11.2 kilometer event. The mostly one and two-person boats (with two larger six- person outrigger canoes) race between Penticton and Okanagan Falls with direction determined by the wind. Penticton’s Don Mulhall was the overall winner in 58 minutes, 51 seconds. Top outrigger was Tyson Bull in 1:02:06. The top two-person outrigger was Greg and Kai Redman of Kelowna at 59:32 seconds. Top two-person junior outrigger was Reece Haberstock and Liam Mulhall

in 1:01:31. Maximum speeds reached would have been approximately 15 km/h, with most boats averaging 10 – 12 km/h. A mild northerly wind increased as the race began into strong winds creating the much sought-after waves and rough conditions that help propel the craft along the route. Race Director Andrew MacPhail at first didn’t hold much hope for strong winds. “Environment Canada had no wind in the forecast,” he said in a release. “It looked like it might be a very flat race. We couldn’t have timed the race better, starting it later in the day (2 p.m.) allows the wind to build and it looks like it peaked just as we were finishing the event.” All 26 boats finished the course.

ginseng extract, when taken daily, may decrease the number, duration, and severity of colds for people who get at least 2 colds a year. If you do get a cold, be sure not to use more than one cold medication without the advice of your doctor or pharmacist. Many cold products contain several medications and it is important not to be taking too much of any one ingredient. Also, Health Canada does not recommend the use of cough and cold medications in children under 6 due to lack of evidence of their effectiveness and the potential serious risks if too much is given. Other symptom management options can be recommended (go to the Community News section on our website for the Infant Cold article). Remember, if you don’t have a tissue to catch your cough, use your elbow to cover your mouth…AND, no matter what your grandmother says, you cannot catch a cold from cold weather!

Mustang Mania on Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Now that students have returned to work, they can also return to play. Princess Margaret is hosting its senior girls Mustang Mania volleyball tournament Friday and Saturday. “This is what kids love and remember about their time in school, the experiences and memories that are created on and off the court as a team will stick with them forever,” said Mustangs senior girls’ volleyball coach Tim Haberstock, adding it will be fun with the energy and enthusiasm of school athletics. “This is one of my favourite things about being an educator and I am just glad to be getting going so quickly.” The Mustangs always host the first tournament in the area and had already planned and booked the tournament last spring before the strike. “The only issue was if teams are ready to play with only a couple of practices,” he said. “Our numbers are down since many teams aren’t ready to travel on short notice, but most teams are eager and ready to go.” The Mustangs practised four times leading into the tournament, which Haberstock admitted isn’t a lot, however, at the senior level players are able to play without spending a lot of time on defensive and offensive systems in practice. “The girls are very excited to be back and back playing and are glad that they only missed one weekend of tourna-

ment play,” he added. “I plan on using the tournament as an opportunity to try different players at different positions to see where they will fit best with the athletes we have.” It will also help shake off some rust for those that didn’t play much over the summer. The Mustangs won’t be concerned with wins or losses, but are focused on developing team chemistry and coming together as a new group. The Mustangs open with a match against Rutland Secondary School at 3 p.m. They then take on Fulton Secondary (Vernon) and Vernon Secondary School at 4:15 and 5:30 p.m. Pen High is also playing with their first match at 3 p.m. against Immaculata from Kelowna, then face VSS at 4:15 and Rutland Secondary at 6:45 p.m. Playoff action in the tournament begins at 12:45 p.m. on Saturday. The Mustangs senior boys’ volleyball team is traveling to Abbotsford as the Mennonite Educational Institute hosts a tournament. Other fall sports the Mustangs have are girls field hockey, junior volleyball, cross country running and swimming. Mustangs athletics director John Buckley said all those teams sports will operate under a shortened schedules as B.C. Sports is keeping the seasons the same.

BAD BREATH BASICS Q: Should I brush my tongue as well as my teeth? A: Bad breath, or halitosis, is a term used to describe any disagreeable odor of expired air emanating from the mouth. The term halitosis dates back to the 1870s and combines the Latinhalitus, meaning “breath”, with the Greek suffix osis. Bad breath isn’t a modern affliction though; records mentioning this date to 1550BC. A mouthwash of wine and herbs was once the recommended way of solving the problem.

A common reason for bad breath is post-nasal drip, which coats the back area of the tongue with bacteria-rich mucous. A tongue scraper is often effective in relieving oral malodor caused by sinus drainage. In fact, studies have shown that a tongue cleaner/scraper can be more effective than a toothbrush in reducing volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) levels, which are produced when bacteria and amino acids interact to produce bad breath. Although there is no standard treatment, bacteriacausing halitosis can be reduced by brushing or scraping the middle and back of the tongue. Tongue scraping can lower VSC concentration, subsequently reducing oral malodour. However, that reduction is only short-term, and not an absolute solution for eliminating malodour. Further research is planned to determine what role undetected odorants may play in oral malodour, as well as well designed, randomized clinical trials to compare the effectiveness of tongue scrapers, toothbrushes, and mouth rinses on reducing VSC levels. Meanwhile tongue cleaners and scrapers are straightforward and comfortable to use, easy to transport, and relatively inexpensive. Cleaning the tongue is quickly and easily accomplished. Everyone from children to elders should be able to incorporate this technique into their oral care regimen. - Dr. Sylvain Marino

A German car with a price tag under $15,000 By Zack Spencer

Volkswagen has had an impressive ride here during the past few years, gaining market share and selling record numbers of cars, its best-selling car being the Jetta. When the last VW Jetta was introduced in 2011, it represented a major shift in the company’s sales philosophy. The decision was to make a larger sedan, yet drop the price to compete right in the heart of Canada’s compact segment, our largest sales category. With a starting price under $15,000, the Jetta is the biggest car in the compact class, offering a gateway into owning a German car, yet having the space and comfort North Americans expect. For 2015, VW continues with the same philosophy but ups the ante to include new engines, styling and interior amenities. It would be easy to overlook the substantial updates to this new Jetta because the exterior tweaks are so subtle they need pointing out. The front grille, bumper and headlamps have all been replaced to include a bigger air opening and LED marker lights, plus xenon headlights are available. The back also receives a minor update that includes a new bumper, trunk and tail lamps. With a starting price of $14,990, the Trendline comes with hubcaps on 15inch wheels. The midlevel $20,090 Comfortline can be equipped with 16-inch alloy wheels and the $25,490 Highline is fitted with 17-inch alloys. Then there are the TDI diesel versions that range from $22,490 to $27,790. Volkswagen has a wide range of prices, equipment and engine choices to suit. The most popular is the Trendline Plus at $17,190 that includes the must have heated front seats. What isn’t obvious on first inspection is just how far the Jetta interior has come unless you know the previous model. It was a practical car but hardly luxurious or even sporty – spartan might be a good word. That has all changed with the new 2015 model thanks to new switches and dials that looks and feel first rate. The upper dash on all but the base Trendline is now fitted with soft-touch materials and the base model even comes with a 6.5-inch touchscreen that also doubles as a backup camera. Bluetooth is optional on the

Trendline plus but becomes standard on Comfortline and above. The top highline features leather, a bigger 8-inch screen and push button start. What all Jetta’s come standard with is a huge back seat, massive trunk and plenty of room side-to-side. This really is a mid-size car that starts at a compact car price. The drive event for the all-new Jetta was held in Middleburg Virginia, which I later discovered is in the wealthiest county in the United States. Huge homes on rolling farms, with stone fences and colonial designs reminds visitors that this is historic country. The Salamander Resort was the backdrop for the introduction, an equestrian themed luxury resort that would make any new car look good. Surrounding it are rolling hills and winding roads, a perfect place to exercise the new suspension and engines in the Jetta. The previous car was recently updated to a full independent suspension and that carries over, as do disc brakes on all four wheels. The big news is a new 1.8L direct injection, turbocharged 4-cylinder with 170hp but an impressive 185 lb.-ft of torque. Speaking of torque, the new TDI diesel engine pumps out a whopping 236 lb-ft of torque and now comes with “AdBlue” exhaust after treatment to improves tailpipe emissions by 40 per cent. After driving both the new engines back to back I’d be hard pressed to choose. I love the torque of the diesel and the impressive efficiency. But the new turbo gasoline engine is a more spirited unit provides a more enthusiastic experience. If I drove a lot, the diesel would be the way to go, but for more, fun the new 1.8L is impressive. Still in the mix is the old 2.0L 4-cylinder with 115hp offered in all Trendline and Comfortline models. This engine has been around since Moses was a boy, but it is a proven engine and offers a great starting price. At first glance the 2015 Jetta looks like a warmed over update but under the surface is substantial change. The highlights are the new interior and wonderful optional engines. Diesel or gas? That’s a tough decision. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

For 2015, Vokswagen has upped the ante with their new Jetta with new engines, styling and interior amenities. Submitted Photo

Penticton Western News Friday, September 26, 2014

By Bob McHugh

With cooler weather ahead, fall can be an opportune time to snag a great deal on that dream-ride convertible you’ve always wanted to own, like the soft-top edition of Chevrolet Camaro. Chevrolet introduced an all-new Camaro Coupe for the 2010 model year and the Camaro Convertible followed a year later. While it shares many similar styling details, this modern day rebirth of Camaro is longer and wider than the celebrated original ‘67, of the “muscle car” era. Big wheels (18-inch to massive

21-inch rim sizes) are an important design feature of new Camaro and it’s a little taller. The 2011 Camaro Convertible was offered in just LT and SS trim levels. The LT comes with a lightweight and powerful “LFX” 3.6-litre V6 engine. It can generate 323 horsepower and is mated to either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic. A potent 6.2-litre V8 engine (from the Corvette) lies under the hood of Camaro SS. When paired with a six-speed manual it’s tuned to pump out 425 horsepower. A 400 horsepower edition

of this same engine (with more lowspeed torque and a fuel saving cylinder deactivation system) is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The revised fuel rating for Camaro SS (auto) is 14.9 L/100km in city and 9.5 L/100km on highway. There is a key engineering difference between Chevrolet’s Camaro and its nemesis, the Ford Mustang. While both vehicles send gobs of engine power to the rear wheels, Mustang has a rigid rear axle and Camaro has a more sophisticated independent link system with half-shafts and coil springs

attached to an isolated sub-frame. In theory, Camaro should be a better riding and handling sports car but that debate rolls on. A limited edition high-performance Camaro ZL1 arrived in 2012. It came with a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 engine that can produce an outrageous 580 horsepower … and it has obvious collector car potential. A special 45th anniversary package was also offered that year. Other than some packing revisions and new colour choices, there were no significant changes to the 2013 or the 2014 model year editions of Camaro.

Not too late to realize that convertible dream While it may be hard to find practical reasons to buy a sports car like Camaro, it did make it on the Consumer Reports list of “recommended” good, reliable cars to buy. Camaro convertible is also even less practical and more expensive than the coupe. Then again, it’s a hoot to drive, especially with the top down. Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca
