help sustain me.” Like many of the other people who visit the centre, which serves an average of 120 people a day, 365 days a year, people can’t express his appreciation enough for the many volunteers who give of their time on special occasions to do something for others. “Awesome,” is how Iannone described them. “And the fact they are willing to serve us a sitdown dinner is really wonderful.” And like many others who have beneﬁted from the help, he willingly offers his help where ever he is needed at the 150 Orchard St. location. “That’s right, he’s my go-to guy alright,” said Kristin Rusk, Soupateria volunteer coordinator who was standing within earshot nearby and has worked at the facility since 2002. “A number of our clientele have come back over the years to say thanks by helping out here. “I think the important thing is we don’t judge anybody. These people are just the same as you and me, they’re just on hard times and some way or another

Home for the holidays. That’s where many people will be this Thanksgiving Monday, but Johnny Iannone and hundreds of other Penticton residents won’t have that luxury. But the less fortunate won’t be forgotten, thanks again to the efforts of the Soupateria and it’s kind volunteers. As it does ﬁve times a year, including every Thanksgiving, the Soupateria is providing a sit-down turkey dinner with all the trimmings starting at 11:30 a.m. “I’m homeless and I don’t get money from the government, I get odd jobs from time to time, so the Soupateria provides an awesome place to come together especially if you’re like me and don’t have family in the area,” said Iannone, who was at the Soupateria Thursday for his midday meal. “If it wasn’t for this place I would probably do nothing for dinner, maybe a sandwich. “I try to make my way through life with as little as possible but the Soupateria is a great asset in my life at this time to

I think that we’ve all been there ourselves so we know what it’s about.” In addition to Thanksgiving, sit-down meals are served at the Soupateria on Christmas and Boxing Day, New Year’s Day and Easter. While much of the food for the meals is donated by local businesses, money donated to the society which runs the program is used to purchase speciﬁc items. According to Rusk, when it comes to getting volunteers to help out on special occasions, she often has to turn people away because so many come forward to help. Adding to the family setting is the fact many of those come to eat already know each other. “With some of them I know that this is their only meal of the day they get and it’s nice we’re able to do it,” said Rusk. “At the end of the day we’re all happy and we feel really good we’re volunteers and knowing that we’ve done something to help others. “That’s what Thanksgiving is all about.”

Fresh faces and familiar names are in the running for city council Steve Kidd

Max Picton, who operates the Barefoot Beach Resort, said he chose to run for council because he sees this as a pivotal election and time for Penticton. “There is a lot going on right now and I think having a fresh perspective and an innovative mind would be an asset to the city,” said Picton. “I am business-minded and I am entrepreneurial. It’s an important thing for

the city to utilize as well.” Picton, who took over as chair of the Tourism Penticton board earlier this year, said his background in tourism is going to be an asset if he gets elected. “I believe that tourism is the marketing arm for economic development. That is how we are going to attract new business and new industry into town,” said Picton, explaining that getting people to decide to relocate their businesses here is easier if they already have

visited and had a good experience. “Tourism is not just to keep the tourist businesses busy and booming, but it is also to create new jobs and opportunities,” said Picton. Building bridges between different organizations and creating a united voice and message is a key goal for Picton. “Right now we have ten different organizations that all have Penticton’s best interests in mind, but they are all yelling different

things in different directions,” he said. “We need to really align everybody, strengthen and solidify our message so we are all yelling the same thing in the same direction, which will only strengthen our voice overall.” Garry Gratton is also a new name on the ballot. He may have one of the simplest explanations for why he chose to run for city council. See COUNCIL on PG. 3

Conservation officers were worried about the “optics” of allowing a boat carrying invasive mussels from the U.S. into the Okanagan earlier this year, according to documents. What’s more, it was the lack of a pilot car to accompany the oversized load, not Canadian law, that actually stopped a trucker from hauling the 13-metre vessel away from the Osoyoos/Oroville border crossing. Details of the incident in March were revealed in notes and emails obtained by the Western News through a freedom of information request. The documents paint a bleak picture of the protections in place now, said Anna Warwick Sears, executive director of the Okanagan Basin Water Board, which has warned of grave consequences if invasive zebra and quagga mussels establish themselves here. “What was evident by the emails is that they have a lot more to do to co-ordinate between provincial ministries and the CBSA,” she said. The water board has been pushing the federal government to implement new regulations that would give the Canada Border Services Agency the power to turn back U.S. boats carrying invasive aquatic species, some of which can survive for weeks out of water. “The border officials

are already there inspecting cars and boats. We’re just asking them to be allowed to do something they want to do,” said Warwick Sears. CBSA officers in Osoyoos at least knew in advance that the boat in question was on its way to Kelowna from a mussel-infested lake in Arizona, thanks to a warning from an Idaho inspection station, the documents show. Although the vessel got a clean bill of health there, CBSA officers inspected it anyway on March 12 and found mussels — later determined to be dead — attached to the boat’s propulsion system, then reported their observations to the B.C. Conser-

vation Officer Service. The conservation officer assigned to the file later requested border guards stop the boat until it was verified to be free of live mussels, but the CBSA “indicated they had no authority under legislation to deny entry into Canada,” Supt. Barb Leslie of the Conservation Officer Service wrote in her notes. As it turned out, the vessel was parked overnight at the border “because the commercial boat hauler couldn’t get a pilot car to help transport the boat to its destination (a Kelowna marina) until the following morning,” noted Matthias Herborg, who oversaw the provincial response as the Minis-

try of Environment’s aquatic invasive species co-ordinator. Herborg wrote he “was confident that there were no live mussels present when the boat entered B.C.” as it had been out of water for 30 days, but that transportation of even dead invasive species is banned under the provincial Wildlife Act, so he ordered the boat seized on March 13. However, he still allowed the boat to travel to Kelowna, where it was decontaminated on land using hot, high-pressure water, and cleared to launch in Okanagan Lake on March 14. Conservation officers favoured a tougher approach. During a conference call with Herborg on March 13, Sgt. Jim Beck “was insistent that the best way of dealing with this was to not allow the vessel to proceed into B.C.,” Beck’s colleague, Bob Hamilton, wrote in his notes. “Sgt. Beck expressed concern that the optics of this was that the province was not taking the issue of mussels seriously enough and we should not be making concessions.” See CBSA on PG. 12

Irrigation system shut down Please be advised that the City of Penticton will turn off and start draining both the Ellis Creek Irrigation System and Penticton Creek Irrigation Systems Monday, October 27, 2014. Orchardists and others with irrigation connections from these systems should take whatever precautions considered necessary to protect their irrigation systems for the winter. For more information please call 250 490-2500. Construction Notice: Industrial Avenue Quebec Street to Atkinson Street The City would like to advise residents of upcoming construction on Industrial Avenue. Starting October 6th to the middle of November, H & M Excavating will be installing new water mains, sewer mains, curb and gutter, and paving, on behalf of the City, from Quebec Street to Atkinson Street.

RCMP investigate dognapping Joe Fries

someone who wanted to skirt the formal adoption process, or even the former owner, to break into the kennels and make off with Cooper. “We don’t know the motive,” she said, adding the person responsible is believed to have jumped over a fence and cut through a chain-link gate that separated Cooper’s kennel from his outdoor run, all without setting off the building’s alarm. Penticton RCMP spokesman Sgt. Rick

Dellebuur said dognappings are “unusual.” “It’s a rare occurrence, but it’s not unheard of that owners will jump a gate to get back what they feel is their property,” he said. The other dogs left at the shelter from the Vernon seizure include two adult Rottweilers and 11 Carlin Pinschers, which Ross said are a small breed that resemble miniature Rottweilers. Of the 11 small dogs, four are puppies about five weeks old, while

Mounties were called Thursday morning to the Penticton branch of the B.C. SPCA after one of 14 new four-legged arrivals was dognapped. Cooper, a one-yearold male Carlin Pinscher, was taken from his kennel during the overnight period. “We’re just obviously very worried about his safety,” said branch manager Corinne Ross, who noted the dog should be on pain medication following his recent neutering. Cooper and 13 other dogs arrived at the shelter last Friday after being seized along with two horses following a cruelty investigation at a home in the Vernon area. The dogs were featured in local media this week and Ross thinks that could have prompted

the rest, including their mother, are adults. “They are pretty scared, so some of them are going to be more difficult to adopt than others,” said Ross, adding Cooper was the friendliest of the bunch. “They kind of need to go to a quiet home where perhaps there aren’t younger kids, where they can have some oneon-one time and some quiet introductions to new situations.” The adult dogs are being spayed and neutered this week and are available for adoption, while the puppies aren’t ready to go quite yet. Even if you can’t adopt one of the dogs, the branch would appreciate other forms of assistance to deal with the sudden influx of canines. “Anybody that can help us with a small donation would be amazing,” Ross said.

EDITORIAL

opinion

Most important election is here

After almost two months of guessing, predicting and analyzing, the deadline for candidates in the 2014 B.C. municipal election is almost here. On Friday, at 4 p.m., prospective candidates will no longer be allowed to file their nomination papers. That means at 4:01 p.m., voters in all areas of B.C. will finally know who is running and for what political positions. Following that are five weeks of crazy fun, also known as the election campaign. That means all-candidates meetings, photo-ops and plenty of promises. While federal and provincial elections seem to get all the glory, local elections actually have the most impact on the common person’s life. Think about it. Federal foreign policy may be interesting and provincial budget balancing is also important, but it doesn’t normally impact you as much as changes to your property taxes or alterations to your garbage pickup. The people you elect on Nov. 15 have a direct effect on your daily lives. They have the power to raise your property taxes, to decide whether to pave a road or allow you to build an extension to your home. Voters get to choose who will make important decisions about their children’s education and to decide who will be their voice in the community. It’s a big responsibility and an obligation to take it seriously. Community newspapers also have a huge role in civic elections. While the Vancouverbased media outlets may cover some of the outlying areas — Surrey, Richmond or even LangWESTERN leyPENTICTON — you aren’t going to read about candidates in Penticton, Summerland, Oliver, Osoyoos and other neighbouring communities anywhere except your local paper. This is when local journalism puts its best foot forward and brings the important local issues to local residents. It’s our job to keep you informed. It’s your job to vote.

Political view from a non-believer Election time is something I never look forward to. I force myself to be informed about a candidates plan on what they want to do and what they believe is important to voters to get that coveted vote. With all the BS that surrounds politics, I fail to understand why people get so entrenched in it. However, I don’t need a Politics for Dummies book to know it is because these politicians we elect are tasked with the responsibility of leading for us at any level. I, like so many other Canadians, have come to question the gap between the rhetoric of politicians and their actions. They talk a good game about making a difference for the common good, but many of their actions have made me question such claims. Maybe it is different at the municipal level compared to provincially and federally. Though the microscope for criticism is the same. Several promises that go unkept result in a lack of trust. Or poor decisions prove costly causing that trust to be lost. I force myself to read what

candidates say because I want to make sure I’m making the right choice when it comes time to stepping into that election booth. I made a mistake once before and had to be reminded of it for some time. It’s not like you can ﬁre a politician. I give credit to the people in Penticton who are stepping up with the desire to be in the roles they seek wanting to make a difference. It’s vital though that they know what they are taking on and how to do it. If not, they will face the same criticism their predecessors have. As of Thursday, Penticton has John Vassilaki and Andrew Jakubeit running for mayor.

Each will bring his own assets to the table. Vassilaki has years of experience while Jakubeit brings fresh ideas. Bringing the Canucks Young Stars Classic has given Penticton extra economic cash it normally wouldn’t have in September. While I dislike election time, I know it’s important. As people say it’s our democratic right. Our voice. And sometimes this voice takes the form of silence. Reactions to this choice is not always positive. “If you don’t vote, you don’t have the right to complain,“ this argument reads. Have you heard that before? Sorry, I don’t buy that. The fact that election turnout is low should worry politicians, indeed, all of us. It suggests the political class has lost credibility, credibility it has to re-earn. Yes, mistakes in government will happen. Over the years, we have seen our fair share of fallibility. But let us not kid ourselves. If it is unrealistic to expect perfections from our politicians, it is equally negligible to tolerate mediocrity. Since our politicians are our representatives, it is necessary for them to prove

to us that they deserve our support. This aspect becomes even more urgent when we consider the lack of accountability that we can exercise between elections. Our representatives democracy is for better or worse an elected high class and those who wish to be our kings and queens for the next term should be chosen carefully. I don’t take my freedom to vote for granted, but I won’t vote for a speciﬁc candidate just because their name is on the election ballot. Yes, there tends to be more than one option when it comes to choosing your next mayor or party leader. What do you do if after you have heard everything that each of the candidates have said and you don’t feel they will be the right person to lead Penticton’s future? Voting for someone you don’t feel has the skills to make the right choices is more damaging. There is no rule stating you have to ﬁll out the full number of boxes in each category. Ultimately, it is your choice — or not.

MENTAL ILLNESS AWARENESS WEEK

Think again candidates Candidates running for Summerland municipal council who are coming out of the gate telling us their preoccupation will be job creation and saving local businesses should join the local chamber. The job description for city councillors is a lot more boring than that: members of city council are responsible for the orderly flow of water and sewer, and picking up the garbage. In addition to that, they are supposed to provide law, order and good government. That will include the protection of people, property and our quality of life. They will also provide

Shut it down

I “shutter” to think of the waste of time and money that city staff are expending in hotly pursuing the non-existent problem of roll shutters at Cherry Lane Towers. And then there are the years of stress and uncertainty to which the owners of roll shutters have been subjected. Shame on the city. To present members of city council I urge you to direct city staff to grandfather in all existing roll shutters at Cherry Lane Towers. Council also should drop the need for owners to obtain a retroactive building permit. Unless this is done a new city council will have to deal with

short and long term plans for land use and development that will foster fiscal, social and environmental well being. The top of the list should be a commitment to stop wasting taxpayers money on issues and programs that will never benefit the community, and invest that money in infrastructure. The success of local businesses is not the responsibility of local taxpayers, and giving the chamber $225,000 a year will not save a single business. The only way to revive the local business core is to give prospective customers compelling reasons to come to those

This week is Mental Illness Awareness Week which is an initiative of the Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health and is presented by Bell Let’s Talk. I do not think Bell could have chosen a better slogan; there is a lot of stigma that surrounds mental illness and the first step toward reducing this stigma is talking about mental illness. The term “mental illness” encompasses a number of conditions including depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, mood and eating disorders, self-injury, violence and suicide. Mental illness can affect anybody regardless of age or socioeconomic class. What does this mean? It means it could affect anybody, including yourself, your friends, your children and other members of your family. OK, so mental illness could affect myself or my family, but what are the odds of that? Pretty good unfortunately. Did you know that one in five people will

These numbers are not small and they may surprise you. Many people hide their condition because of the stigma associated with mental illness. This is why we need to talk! The more information about mental illness that is shared, the better people can understand what it is thereby reducing the associated stigma. Discussing these issues also provides information about the support and services available to help those affected. Having a crisis? Afraid you might hurt yourself?

Residents losing their trust in the city On Oct. 3, 2014, I read the Western article entitled Cherry Lane Towers owners feel shut down by city as written by Steve Kidd. It is quoted that Mr. Kunka said owners will not be charged for safety permit. We are working on solutions, we are just here to make sure people are safe. Here are some written quotes from Mr. Kunka’s letter to home owners in CLT. Re: permit requirements for existing roll shutters and sun screens second notice, “In the event that we haven’t heard from you on or before

The first letter sent out to some homeowners had five pages of demands

a significant financial contribution. Vassilaki is dedicated to ensuring the survival of the local Legion branch. The Legion building operation is barely at the break-even stage. He is not making much of a profit. From a business perspective, the building is not a valuable investment package. Vassilaki’s commitment is the survival of the Legion branch. By keeping the Legion in business, he is honouring Canada’s veterans. During Vassilaki’s younger years the Armed Forces wanted him to join. The Canadian UN Cyprus deployment was in serious need of Canadian citizens who could speak Greek and Turkish. Vassilaki was interested but had applied to join the RCMP. While waiting for word from the Mounties the Forces moved on to other Canadians who would join immediately. After some time had passed the RCMP contacted Vassilaki advising him that he was a half-inch too short for their height restrictions. Vassilaki’s disappointment in not becoming a Mountie did not last. He went on to become one of Penticton’s well established business men. On average he provides employment for 50 families. He is a solid corporate citizen who will do his best to keep a Legion branch alive and well in Penticton. Ernie Slump, Canadian Army retired Penticton

Celebrating 30 years of growth Steve Kidd

This month, Community Futures Okanagan Similkameen is celebrating 30 years of helping business grow. There is not many government-funded agencies that can survive that length of time. Community Futures has done it, and along the way, helped been part of many of the success stories of the region. Mary Ellen Heidt, the group’s general manager, has been with Community Futures since it got its start in 1984, when, during a period of high unemployment, the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen wanted to develop a program to help small business get started. That economic study and proposal went to the federal government, and the program started with a $1.55 million investment fund to lend to small businesses. “We have turned that over about 19 times. We have lent out almost $30 million in our region, said Heidt, who said she has lost count of the number of business they have loaned money to. “We are getting close to 1,000 businesses, maybe more, and jobs, you can’t even think about the jobs. The Wine Information Centre owes its success, in part, to one of those loans. “Early on in the 90s, when the wine industry was really just getting known, the industry wanted to have a place to sell their wines and promote them,” said Heidt, explaining how Community Futures lent the new Wine Information Society the money to buy inventory for their first location at the Ramada Inn. As the information centre grew, the relationship continued, with Community Futures arranging federal funding to help their current location at the corner of Railway and Eckhardt. “Just that little bit of support to get going and to get their name out there and promote wines has really grown into something else. That wine information centre has helped build the whole wine industry,” said Heidt, noting that the Wine Information Society recently made a $300,000 donation to Okanagan College for the new Sensory Centre teaching facility. “What started as a small loan … just keeps giving back.” Community Futures will be celebrating its ongoing success on Oct. 14 with a gala at Okanagan College’s Centre of Excellence, with Michelle Rempel, minister of state for Western Economic Diversifica-

tion, as special guest. Small business loans is only one part of the Community Futures story, though. They also do a lot of community economic development work, like assisting with the Kettle Valley Railway and the SS Sicamous. In the early days, Heidt said, they realized there weren’t a lot of attractions in the area to go with the drive for tourism dollars. “That’s when we started working with the government to bring in money to put into the Sicamous, Kettle Valley railway, but also we thought we needed to do some financing,” said Heidt. Financing, in this case, included funding the building of the still popular Casabella Princess, and helping out a family that wanted to build an adventure park: Loco Landing. “They couldn’t get a bank to look at them. It was a brand new business and it was tourism, which didn’t have a lot of support from the banks. We stepped up and did one of our largest loans at that time and got them started. Within a year, the banks were knocking at the door,” said Heidt.

“Now it has transitioned to the daughter [Diana Stirling] who has made it a real community gathering place.” Community Futures is also responsible for setting up the Okanagan Film Commission, starting first by promoting the Okanagan’s wide variety of scenic locations as film sites, then hiring the first film commissioner and setting up the infrastructure, before letting it go as a standalone organization. Nowadays, that initial $1.5 million seed money has turned into about $5 million. Community Futures still receives a small amount of federal funding through Western Economic Diversification, but Heidt said even if that dried up, they would have to reduce operations, but would still be able to continue on. “We have an asset that had the ability to earn revenue. The goal has always been self sufficiency,” said Heidt. “If the government walked away, we now earn enough revenue from our loan portfolio to help us continue to provide services. We now have the ability to continue on. I think that was always the vision.”

ZEBRAS IN PINK — Treven Stetsko is ready to blow the whistle during minor hockey this weekend. He will be among the officials wearing pink jerseys in support of Breast Cancer Awareness month on Saturday for five games starting at 11:30 a.m. at Memorial Arena. The officials will also have pink laces on their skates for the entire month. Profits from the concession are going towards the Canadian Cancer Society.

Mussels invasion could cost $40 million to manage From CBSA on PG. 2

A request to interview Herborg this week was returned with an unsigned statement from the Ministry of Environment that said the heated conference call was “part of the normal process to identify the most suitable enforcement response.” Eight months later, CBSA officers still don’t have the power to turn back boats carrying invasive species. Fisheries and Oceans Canada spokesman David Walters said in a statement the agency will put out for public comment this fall a proposed “suite of regulatory tools to prevent the introduction of (aquatic invasive species) into Canadian waters, and to control and manage their establishment and spread, if introduced.” Walters was unable to say, however, how soon the proposal could

become law. There’s little time to waste, according to the Okanagan Basin Water Board, which commissioned a study that estimated the annual cost to manage a mussel invasion in Okanagan Lake at $40 million a year for work like scraping shells from inwater equipment. There

would also be intangible impacts on property values and other aquatic life. With mussels now established as far west in Canada as Lake Winnipeg and in most U.S. states, the pests’ spread here is “inevitable,” said Warwick Sears, “unless we step up our game.”

Boundary commission told to leave city alone Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Former MLA Bill Barisoff was among a series of speakers Wednesday in Penticton who argued against possible changes to provincial electoral boundaries in the region. “As a person that’s represented it all since 1996, I cannot stress more highly that the way it is today probably makes the most sense, said Barisoff, who retired in 2013. Nine others also spoke out during the 90-minute public hearing hosted by the Electoral Boundaries

Commission, which is reviewing the composition of B.C.’s 85 ridings to ensure fair representation by population. Such a review is required by law after every other election. During his time in office, Barisoff saw the lines shift three times, most recently in 2009 with the creation of the current Penticton riding, which extends north to Peachland and includes Summerland and Naramata. Those who spoke Wednesday urged the commission to leave the riding as is. “Summerland is part

of Penticton’s trade area, it’s part of our school district, it’s part of our hospital district,” said Penticton city councillor and mayoral candidate Andrew Jakubeit. Fellow councillor and mayoral contender John Vassilaki agreed. “The economic situation in Penticton with the rest of our riding is such that it shouldn’t be disturbed,” he said. Ideally, ridings are drawn so that the number of people in each matches the electoral quotient,

which is B.C.’s population divided by the number of ridings, and is currently set at 54,369. In the Penticton riding, the population stands at 56,722, representing a deviation of just four per cent from the electoral quotient. To the south, however, the population in Boundary-Similkameen is 37,840, a deviation of 30 per cent. In their follow-up questions to presenters, commissioners sought input on ways in which

Boundary-Similkameen could be reshaped to lessen the deviation. But as Oliver Mayor Ron Hovanes noted, the problem will be corrected somewhat as the Okanagan Correctional Centre is built and populated with inmates and staff. “You’re looking at 1,200 to 1,500 people for sure, just for the corrections facility,” said Hovanes. Commission chairman Justice Thomas Melnick, who’s on leave

from his regular duties with the B.C. Supreme Court, said afterwards all options are on the table. “We have no preconceived notions at this point. We’ll do the best we can to make sure everyone has effective representation to the extent that we can,” he said. The other two panel members are Beverley Busson, commissioner of the RCMP prior to her retirement in 2007, and Keith Archer, who presently works as B.C.’s chief electoral officer.

The commission, which is visiting 29 communities this fall, has been authorized to recommend the creation of two new ridings. A preliminary report is due by May 2015, and after another period for public feedback, a final report with recommendations will be sent to the B.C. legislature by November 2015. If approved, the changes would take effect for the next provincial election, scheduled for May 2017.

Jail time for man with kilo of cocaine Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Speeding past an unmarked police car near Keremeos three years ago will cost a Burnaby man his freedom since the subsequent traffic stop also turned up a kilogram of cocaine. Graham Victor Jordan, 50, was sentenced Monday in B.C. Supreme Court in Penticton to one year in jail after being convicted following a trial in May on a single count of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. Crown counsellor James Whiting argued for a 2.5-year jail sentence, since the amount of cocaine involved in the case indicated Jordan had “embarked into the commercial level of distribution.” Defence counsel Brian Jackson said his client was a “serious addict” at the time of the offence and agreed to transport the cocaine from the Lower Mainland to the Kootenays in exchange for $1,500 to support his drug habit. Jordan sought to have the case thrown out at the beginning of trial in May due to alleged violations of his Charter rights, including being improperly detained and subjected to a warrantless search, when he was arrested on Nov. 3, 2011. However, Justice Selwyn Romilly ruled at trial in May that the arresting officer, Cpl. Ryan McLeod, acted properly during the traffic stop. In his reasons for judgment, Romilly wrote that Jordan was pulled over on Highway 3 a few kilometres outside Keremeos by McLeod, whose unmarked police car he passed doing 153 km/h in a 100 km/h zone. As McLeod attended to paperwork in his cruiser, he saw Jordan, whom he noted had been involved in two cocaine-related police files over the previous year, stand by the passenger door to block the officer’s view of the female passenger. Later, the officer noticed what he suspected was drug paraphernalia inside the woman’s bra. He also saw Jordan reach repeatedly inside his jacket pocket, prompting the Mountie to place both of them under arrest out of concern for his own safety. The officer subsequently searched the vehicle and found the one-kilogram package of cocaine in a duffel bag, which also contained men’s clothing, on the car’s back seat.

A well-crafted documentary can stick with a person for a long time. It is why Mandy Leith fell in love with the medium. “One of the first documentaries made in the 1920s was Man With A Movie Camera. I was studying film in the UK and it had a great impact on me,” said Leith, who has been in the filmmaking business for 30 years. “The cameraman turns the camera back on himself showing what is happening in the Russian city he was in. In a lot ways that documentary is haunting. It was one of the first documentaries I saw that made me think how powerful a tool it is to use cinema to tell real stories.” Leith is hosting a masterclass on using social media to share stories at the annual We Love Documentary weekend held at the Shatford Centre on Oct. 17 to 19, featuring six films and two workshops. Leith is the founder of opencinema.ca and is a

media educator. Following her 2013 cross-Canada documentary pilgrimage Get on the Doc Bus, she is now developing an innovative multi-city hybrid cinema format called Connect the Docs. Through her company, Media Rising, she works as an impact producer and social media strategist with businesses, non-profits and creators of all kinds. “Documentary takes the viewer into a real indepth story of a person or an issue or situation and it is one of things we have less and less of in our 140-character world,” said Leith. “It really takes you into a persons life in an in-depth way. It is a deep experience about learning about an ordinary person doing something extra-ordinary and creates a shared journey for the viewer. One of the things I love about documentaries is that journey continues with questions, discussions and sometimes further action. Essentially it is using the format to engage and build community.” See DOCS on PG. A15

Calvary a powerfully moving mystery Western News Staff

A good priest is faced with troubling circumstances bought about by a mysterious member of his parish. The next Kitchen Stove Film Series movie, Calvary, is a black comedy that involves a priest receiving a death threat during a confessional from a person who said he was abused as an altar boy and is looking for revenge. The person uttering the threat to the innocent Father James (Brendan Gleeson - Gangs of New York), gives him a week to sort out his affairs. The film follows the priest in the sleepy coastal village in County Sligo, Ireland as he ponders his life and if he had made any difference at all to his community. Along the way he deals with a cast of characters who leaves the audience wondering who was the person in the confessional box. This includes a butcher (Chris O’Dowd - Bridesmaids), a medic (Aiden Gillen - Game of Thrones) and a squire (Dylan Moran - Run, Fatboy, Run). Father James continues to

Mustangs athletics Western News Staff

Placing seventh among 40 teams in the UBC-O Heat senior girls’ volleyball tournament last weekend pleased Princess Margaret Mustangs coach Tim Haberstock. The Mustangs competed against provincially ranked 3A and 4A schools. “We learned a lot about the small things that really good teams do to win those extra two or three points that make the difference in tight games,” said Haberstock. “More importantly though, we learned that to beat a skilled team you have to win points with aggressive offence rather than playing the ball over the net and waiting for them to make a mistake.” In the playoffs, the Mustangs defeated Selkirk in three sets and faced Duchess Park and lost 25-11 and 25-12. The Mustangs will take a break during Thanksgiving weekend then resume AA league play and enter the Kelowna Secondary School Best of the West 48-team tournament.

Vees hold off Centennials Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

After watching their 3-0 lead slip away Wednesday night, the Penticton Vees clamped down defensively to hold off the Merritt Centennials for a 4-2 victory. Along with moments in which the Vees blocked shots with desperation and worked to clear pucks, goalie Hunter Miska stepped up, making half of his 23 saves in the third period. “Miska played unbelievable, especially making some huge stops in the end,” said Vees assistant captain Jack Ramsey of the goalie’s 10-save performance in the final frame. “When you’re playing against a good team, you’re not just going to steam roll over them,” said Vees coach-general manager Fred Harbinson. “There is going to be a little back and forth. When they got their push in the third, I thought we bent a little bit but we didn’t totally collapse.” Turnovers gave the Centennials chances, while a mistake defensively and a power play helped the Centennials get within a goal in front of 2,114 fans for the first Wicked Wednesday at the South Okanagan Events Centre. Despite the errors and power play given up, the Vees coach said it was a solid performance by his team. “I thought the first two periods might have been two of the better periods we have played all year,” said Harbinson.

We played well as a unit.” The Mustangs are a close-knit group that is strengthened with the presence of 15 returning players. They are joined by international students Anouk Pabst and Lea Fischbacher of Germany and Japan’s Chino Hochiyama. Bevington said the trio are new to the game. “They all came out because they want to learn, make new friends and love sports,” she said.

Simon Brown is enjoying his best BMX season because of two things: he’s quicker on his bike and taking it more seriously. That serious approach resulted in the eight-year-old earning a fourth-place result at a provincial championship race in Victoria. With that performance, Brown was given a No. 4 plate which stands out on his BMX. “Before it happens, it feels more amazing than when you actually have it,” said Brown, who has been racing since he was three. Brown had a great experience at provincials facing top riders and he recalled being ahead of a couple before they passed him. Jeff Babuin, a coach for the Penticton BMX Club, said Brown rode really well in Victoria and also had a strong performance at nationals in Kelowna. “There are some pretty fast riders out there,” said Babuin. “The national in Kelowna, he is racing against kids that are from the States. They are top level riders. He was pretty competitive with them.” Babuin has seen Brown get faster and compete with more drive. “Things have just clicked for him,” said Babuin. “He’s gone from somebody who didn’t jump at all last year to someone who is jumping and manualling. Having a lot more fun racing.” Also helping Brown succeed is his love for the sport. When he is out on the track, he just wants to try hard. Brown also rides around for hours on his home track in Cawston that his dad Corey built. His mother Colleen said he’s on it daily doing jumps and cat walks. Brown, whose bedroom is covered in BMX posters including one of Australia’s Sam Willoughby, watches BMX races on YouTube. He can get glued to the computer watching races and other riders. “It’s exciting because he’s really passionate about it,” said Colleen. “It’s exciting to see him putting so much effort into it. He is doing well.”

Zoeller nets Vees win Western News Staff

Dennis Zoeller came up clutch for the Penticton Quiznos midget AAA Vees. Playing for the tournament championship against West Kelowna Sunday at Memorial Arena, Zoeller netted the winner eight seconds into the game, while Carson Erhardt scored the insurance marker with more than a minute left for the 2-0 victory. Alyck Coombes was solid in goal. “I am very happy with the level of compete our team showed this year so far,” said Vees coach Ken Karpuk. “Going into the tourney we focused on performance not results.” The Vees opened with a 7-3 win over Chilliwack. Franky Anderson led the way with a hat trick and Dane Bateman scored twice with singles from Zoeller and Erhardt. In their second game, the Vees hosted the Okanagan Hockey Academy and skated to a 3-1 win. Scoring were Erhardt, Zoeller and Morey Babakaiff. In the final round robin game the Vees played Coquitlam in an early game. A sluggish start on the Vees part resulted in a 6-1 loss, leaving them in fourth place overall in the standings. They earned a spot in the semifinal with a rematch against Coquitlam. The Vees won 5-1 on goals by Michael MacLean, Babakaiff, Erhardt and Sammy Gabriel. Bobby Milligan picked up the win in goal. Karpuk said the weekend was competitive and a chance to measure up against other comparable teams they don’t see in league play. “Our program is in a process of change and we will

continue to see improvements as players get more comfortable with the demands placed on them,” he said. “I really like the group and I am so proud of the progress they have made to date. There are still facets of our game we must continue to work on individually and as a group. All in all a rewarding weekend, it is always nice to win, but a win at home is even more so.” Overall the Vees are 8-1-1. Their next home game is Oct. 31 against Kelowna. In other Penticton Minor Hockey Association action, the Sherwood Trophies Vees picked up a 5-0 win and a 3-3 tie in Kamloops last weekend.

Art opens window for mental health

Editors note: This is the final part in a series on mental health leading up to Mental Illness Awareness Week Oct. 5 to 11. Mark Brett

What began as a dark splash of anger on a piece of paper for Paula Barton, now has become a window to the deepest reaches of her inner self. The abstract art work she began a year ago, where she literally throws the paint on the canvas, has helped her cope, and more importantly, understand the mental health issues she has struggled with for over 40 years. “It’s given me a new lease on life and it’s really starting to make me feel good about myself, I wish everybody could paint just to get that feeling like I’ve had,” said Barton, 56, who has dealt with depression and anxiety for most of her life. “So what I’m feeling, my emotions come out on canvas and what

it’s doing is helping me learn about my anger and my depression and my feelings. All the things I’m stuffing inside myself are coming out on the canvas. “How does that work? I don’t know, I guess by the grace of God, it stumps me.” Much of what she saw in those early works was not pretty, in fact, it was anything but. \However, from those images she recognized the need to explore her feelings to a much greater degree. What she realized was she needed to develop a method to find answers to questions which past treatment, medication and otherwise, only masked. “One of my first pieces, and I was very angry when I did it, when I put it on my desk and looked at it, there was the devil, really, really clear,” she recalled. “I mean this is just abstract but the devil came out and I went wow, because I didn’t realize I was that angry,” she said. “I put that one away because I couldn’t handle looking at it but a girlfriend just kept making me pull it out. Now almost every time I walk by it I see something different and I can’t explain that.” But even that work, which now sits framed on the desk in her living room, has helped her manage all the demons which still stop by. Increasingly, and much to Barton’s delight, she is making more visits to happier acrylic places. Although she has no formal training and

is not artistically fluent in colours, she sees within the pinks and purples — spring and summer colours she calls them — images of birds and bicycles. “That’s a good thing, because if it was nothing but doom and gloom I’d have to be committed,” she said with a laugh. “With depression it’s up and down and my paintings are like that. It’s very reflective of who I am.”

There have been some added benefits to moving into the world of art for Barton. That includes leaving her largely isolated world more often and interacting with other people. “I’ve even got a piece in the show at the (Penticton Art) Gallery which is really neat,” she said The seventh annual psychiatric show Beyond Words: How does my garden grow, began last month and runs until the end of October.

Her contribution is a small piece in which she sees herself crying tears of blood as the grim reaper stands at her side. “Really this just represents what the power of depression can do to you and the thoughts of suicide and other things that come into your head,” said Barton. “But being able to do this work helps get those feelings out in the open and it’s not so bad.” While the power of art has been an incredible revelation to Barton, to Sharon Evans, president of the B.C. Schizophrenia Society in Penticton, art has long been recognized as a very important tool in to whatever degree possible, self healing. “As a therapeutic tool, it permits them to express things that they can’t put into words,” said Evans, a longtime psychiatric nurse. “For some people, it’s a way of expressing their experience with psychosis, which is a detachment from reality, or it’s a way of expressing the difference between when you’re depressed and when you’re not depressed. “For other people, it’s just an outlet, because we all need, as human beings, to be creative in some way, shape or form.” And much like Barton herself, her art is a work in progress. But each day it gives her the strength to climb out of bed, even on those gloomy mornings, open that window and let the sun shine in. - photos by Mark Brett/Western News

Drive What you can’t see is the 317 kgs that the ‘15 F-series has lost, thanks to that aluminum body and the increased use of high-strength steel in the frame – but, you can certainly feel it while driving. The truck is nimbler, has less wash in the corners and simply handles better. The cab is virtually silent and for comfort, the HVAC is split side-toside, front and rear. The hood and side windows have dropped in profile for better visibility, while the size, colours and quality of the computer generated gauges and controls simplifies operation while driving. I towed with the new truck and its manners are good if not improved. In part, this is assisted by the long list of towing features like trailer sway control; tow/haul mode; Dynamic Hitch Assist, SelectShift transmission and better tow mirrors. Off-road an electronic manual rear

differential locker has been added. This truck churns mud better than ever. Verdict Payload is up (to 900 kgs) and so is towing (approx. 5.5 tonnes) yet overall body weight is down by 317 kgs. Ford offers four engines and even the smallest 2.7L EcoBoost will still tow up to 3.8 tonnes. The cab is quieter, yet larger. The floor is flat yet has more storage compartments. The dash is less cluttered yet offers more information. Do you sense a theme here? Consider that the design phase of this truck took four years and the testing was the most intense ever. The result? A list of improvements a hockey rink long – that’s a fact. Now, how will they all work together? Well Ford’s claims will have to play out on roads, across Canada, in the coming years. But from what I’ve seen in Texas, I’d say Giddy Up!

Question of the Week The all-new Ford F-150 graces the front of Driveway this week as it looks to maintain its constant premier position as the truck of choice. What do its rivals have to do to make a bigger mark in sales? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer. QUESTION

OF THE WEEK!

Safety Tip: This weekend is one of the most dangerous on B.C. roads. The temperature can drop and road conditions can change quickly in the fall and winter months. If you’re driving out of town, check drivebc.ca for up-to-date road and weather conditions before you head out.

The big update is all about electronics. A new instrument cluster is larger and all the gauges are video projected.

pressure on car makers to reduce carbon output and the fact the Porsche brand (Another VW Group brand) already has the 918 hybrid, this looks like it could make it to market within the next few years. VW Golf Alltrack OK, now back to earth. With the trend towards allwheel-drive (AWD) gaining more and more momentum it was only a matter of time before cars previously without AWD start to appear with this option. Take the popular VW Golf wagon, soon to be available in Europe with AWD and a slightly higher ground clearance. Called the Alltrack, this more rugged looking and capable VW will certainly appeal to buyers of the Subaru Outback or Audi Allroad. In North America, we don’t buy many wagons but we certainly love when manufacturers add a slightly higher ride-height, lower body cladding plus AWD and call them a crossover vehicle. Sales jump. Not available in Canada but after chatting with VW Canada executives, they have put in a request to Germany to get this car for our AWD-loving climate. Stay tuned.

”

The Toyota i-Road attracted big crowds when it was demonstrated at this year’s Paris Show. The small wheel at the rear of the i-Road pivots at low speed for amazing maneuverability, plus when driven at higher speeds the entire vehicle tilts over like a motorcycle with the front wheels rotating independently of each other. It looks odd and must feel odd to drive but the upside is covered driving, without a helmet, and emissions free transportation. The i-Road is being tested in Japan and will be used in the French city of Grenoble as part of a vehicle-sharing program. This type of vehicle already exists in Europe but the tilting and pivoting elements make it unique. This would not be popular on our wider roads in North America but the i-Road will fit right in on Europe’s busy streets.

Kia joins the growing list of electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers with Soul EV, a clever adaptation of its tall 5-door compact with the funky styling. Although still a small slice of the overall car market, EV sales are growing rapidly and so is the public charge station infrastructure that’s crucial to its success, especially in urban areas. A digital readout showed 187 km of driving range available as we headed out on a test loop around Metro Vancouver. And after about 30 minutes off, no special treatment, driving with frequent stops, starts, hill climbs and descents, the Soul EV showed 162 km was still available. That’s relevant, as the Soul EV’s officially rated driving range is 149 km. In addition to being quiet and fuel-free, Soul EV effectively matches the practical user features of its gasoline counterpart. It can seat four to five passengers and has the same large rear cargo area. Kia’s polymer (electrolyte) lithium ion battery pack is compact and easier to hide than others, as it can be molded into different shapes. In Soul EV it’s centrally fitted under the seats and a raised rear floor pan. The gasoline engine is replaced by a 109 horsepower liquid-cooled AC synchronous permanent magnet electric motor that can generate a whopping 210 lb-ft of torque. That’s 59 lb-ft more than the 2.0-litre gasoline engine version of Soul. Standing starts were not as jumpy as other electric vehicles tend to be and the overall performance of the electric drivetrain was impressively smooth. Charger ports for the battery pack are hidden behind a hinged cover in the front grille. The smaller port accepts either a 120 volt (level 1) or a 240 volt (level2) charge connector. A portable level 1 unit is stored in the vehicle and Kia Canada will also provide Soul EV buyers with a level 2 charge unit (made by Bosch) for home installation, free of charge. The charger unit can also be used to pre-heat or pre-cool the Soul EV, while

plugged into the grid. You can also program it to start or complete charging at a certain time. The level 1 charger plugs into any electrical outlet but can take up to 24-hours to fully recharge the battery pack. A level 2 charger (with 30 amp service) cuts the maximum recharge time to under five hours. And a level 3 fast charge station can pump in an 80 per cent charge in less than 30 minutes. We didn’t take it out on the freeway, but the Soul EV seemed very stable (it’s heavier than the gas engine Soul) and Kia claims a top speed of 145 km/ hour. Kia also claims that it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/hour faster (by 4 seconds) than a Nissan Leaf. It’s agile and peppy, with lots of initial get up and go, but it’s also no dragster. The two-tone gray interior theme came with attractive and contrasting blue stitching. Extensive use of bio-friendly interior materials also makes Soul EV the most eco-friendly vehicle made by Kia. It features materials derived from organic substances such as sugar cane, corn, cellulose, and wood powder. The base edition of Soul EV is very well equipped and even comes with dual-zone climate control, voice-activated navigation and a rear view camera. A leather wrapped steering wheel is heated and also has both tilt and telescopic features. Moving up to EV Luxury adds features like leather (synthetic) upholstery, a heat pump (enhances the climate control system), cooled and ventilated front seats and heated rear seats. Soul EV is only available through selected Kia dealers in major Canadian urban centres (Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver). Unlike Quebec and Ontario, however, B.C.’s incentive program for eco-friendly vehicles ran out of cash back in March of this year. Soul EV does qualify for an $8,000 federal government rebate and that certainly helps make the purchase price more palatable. The Kia Soul EV definitely rocks and is a must-drive for anyone considering an EV in this price range. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca
