As a journalist recorded heart-pounding video of a shootout Wednesday morning inside a Parliament building in Ottawa, two local MPs were huddled with colleagues in meeting rooms just metres away. The video, made by Globe and Mail reporter Josh Wingrove and broadcast widely on news channels, shows police with ﬁrearms drawn moving carefully down a Centre Block hallway, followed by dozens of gunshots. On either side of that hallway are rooms where New Democrats and Conservatives were in their weekly caucus meetings. Southern Interior MP Alex Atamanenko said NDP leader Thomas Mulcair had just ﬁnished speaking when gunshots interrupted their proceedings. “All of a sudden we heard this loud noise, and a security guard rushed into our room and made the gesture of a gun and said, ‘Get down!’ And so we did. “And he courageously stood by that door, and we barricaded the other door, and stayed in that position locked down,” Atamanenko recalled in a telephone interview Thursday. Soon after, he continued, “Security came and took us through the Senate, then

through an underground passage to a building called East Block, where we spent the day locked down in a committee room.” Dan Albas, the Conservative MP for Okanagan-Coquihalla, was more reluctant to share details out of respect for “conﬁdentiality of caucus

or security.” “But it’s well-known we were in caucus, I heard gunshots and immediately was impressed by the professionalism of our security team at the House of Commons,” Albas said. After that, “We have several members of our caucus

who are former police ofﬁcers that were quite helpful in helping us to cope with the initial chaos, coupled with the long silence, where you’re tracing through your mind all the different scenarios that could be happening,” he continued. Albas said he worked on

his weekly report to constituents during the lockdown, which ended for both men around 9 p.m. EDT. “Security came and we were all put on a bus with a police escort and ﬂashing lights to go over to Foreign Affairs, where we had to basically talk to people and give

them our name and say if we’d seen anything or heard anything,” said Atamanenko. He went back early Thursday to the House of Commons, where MPs mourned the soldier who was fatally shot at the National War Memorial and celebrated the sergeant-at-arms who killed the gunman responsible for the carnage. “There’s a mood of unity between all of us here as we try to move forward. We’re here, we’re back to work and we want to make sure people understand Parliament goes on in spite of a tragedy,” said Atamanenko. Albas agreed. “One reporter asked me this morning on the radio, ‘Is this when we lost our innocence?’ No. But every generation has to face challenges,” he said. “Ours is much different than my grandfather’s, but when the call comes, you do what it takes to make sure this country is free and that my children are going to have the same liberties my grandfather did.” Atamanenko hopes security personnel don’t overreact to whatever recommendations arise from their internal reviews. “I’ve always considered myself safe here,” he said. “The security’s always been there, but unassuming, and I feel safe today.”

Red carpet rolled out for WestJet Mark Brett

Western News Staff

There’s gonna be a party. They’ll be rolling out the red carpet for the Oct. 26 arrival of the inaugural WestJet Encore flight at Penticton Regional Airport. And while there will be an invitation only ceremony for dignitaries in the terminal’s Sky High Diner, WestJet flight attendants Brook Nowak and Kristin Poitras have organized a bash of their own and everyone is invited. “This not something that is separate but because they have very limited space inside, what we’re doing is just enhancing an already incredible celebration and we want everyone and Penticton and area to be there,” said Nowak, who was among the more than 30 company employees in Penticton for last spring’s announcement of the Peach City’s selection for the direct Calgary connection. “This way it will include all of the people of Penticton because they are the ones who are going to be keeping the service there for the long term.” “I love the people here. The biggest small town ever is the way I describe Penticton because it’s a city but it still feels very personable and very mom and pop and everybody supports everybody.” The fun gets underway at 1 p.m. and will continue to 3 p.m. During the last few days Nowak, who owns a business here, has reached out to many area merchants who have donated Capt. Jaren Belrose and first officer shauna epp on the flight deck of a WestJet Q400 look over a map of penticton on the ground at Kelowna a wide range of goods and services International airport oct. 23 while waiting for passengers to start boarding. the same type of aircraft will be used in the direct service between penticton and Calgary, alta. which begins oct. 26. which will be given out as prizes.

Judge doesn’t buy robber’s story Joe Fries

Western News Staff

An assault and robbery that saw a Penticton man lose two TVs and suffer a fractured eye socket will likely result in jail time for one of his attackers. Ryan Joseph Patt, 25, was convicted this week in provincial court in Penticton on single counts of assault causing bodily harm and robbery in relation to the incident on March 28, 2014, in an apartment on Skaha Lake Place. Judge Meg Shaw recounted in her decision the circumstances of the offence heard at trial in September, including how Patt and the victim were dating a pair of sisters and socialized together sometimes. Around 3 a.m. on the day of the attack, Patt phoned the victim and asked him to pick up his girlfriend in Summerland, where she had been drinking and fighting with her sister. When the victim refused, Patt accompanied the woman in a taxi to her mom’s

home in Penticton. Patt then walked for nearly an hour to the victim’s home, where he arrived with an unknown man around 6 a.m. and entered the apartment. The victim testified that once inside his home, both Patt and the unknown man delivered multiple blows to his head and face, resulting in cuts, bruises and a fractured orbital bone. The unknown man told the victim the beating was “because he had beaten on his girlfriend,” and also warned, “We will come back and kill you” if the police were called, Shaw said. The assailants then each grabbed a TV from the apartment and left. “The entire incident occurred within 12 minutes,” said Shaw. In his testimony at trial, Patt denied hitting the victim and also claimed that he didn’t know the identity of the unknown man, whom he said he met outside the victim’s apartment building. Shaw rejected Patt’s testimony and said

it had “no air of reality to it.” The judge suggested instead that Patt was angry he had to deal with the victim’s “drunk and acting-out girlfriend,” whom he suspected was beaten by her boyfriend, and therefore wanted to punish the victim. Shaw did, however, acquit Patt of a third charge of uttering threats. Patt was released on $1,000 bail on April 2, but was ordered back into custody on Aug. 19, according to court records, which don’t provide a reason for his continued detention. He appeared this week via videoconference from Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre. His criminal record includes convictions for uttering threats, breaches of court orders and theft. His last prior conviction was possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking, which earned him a six-month jail sentence in September 2013. A sentencing hearing for Patt’s most recent convictions is set for a later date. The maximum penalty for robbery is life imprisonment.

Bobbitt hearing back on hold Joe Fries

Western News Staff

On the same day a judge commented on the slow pace of David Wesley Bobbitt’s dangerous offender hearing, the matter was adjourned for another three weeks. Bobbitt, 38, has pleaded guilty to seven offences related to the 2011 assault and unlawful confinement of a woman inside his second-hand shop in downtown Penticton. The Crown is seeking to have Bobbitt declared a dangerous offender, a designation that carries with it an indeterminate jail sentence. The hearing, which has run sporadically in June, September and October, was scheduled to continue through this week in B.C. Supreme Court in Penticton, but on Tuesday afternoon was adjourned until Nov. 10 to set a date for continuation. Crown counsel Nashina Devji said Wednesday the hearing was adjourned after Bobbitt’s lawyer abandoned several applications it had before the court. Defence counsel James Pennington confirmed that, and said the break will also allow time to track down a witness he wants to recall. That witness is a woman who testified at the hearing in June that she was the victim of a February 2007 attack at the hands of Bobbitt. Justice Peter Rogers noted Tuesday that the hearing had been “anything but expeditious,” but agreed to recall the witness since Bobbitt has a right to make a full defence.

Neighbourhood waiting decades for updates Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

After decades, Corry Place may finally be getting some infrastructure upgrades. On Sept. 29, city staff met with property owners and were presented with three concept plans for improvements to the street. How much it is going to cost property owners, however, was the subject of heated debate. Like most city improvement projects, property owners are expected to pay a share of the costs, about $20,000 in this case. But a group of property owners from the neighbourhood made it clear they think the city should be bearing the full cost. Garry Gratton, who is running for a council seat on Nov. 15, was there as a homeowner, leading a delegation of his neighbours on Corry Place, where he has lived for 15 years with his family.

“I am actually quite shocked at the level of deterioration and neglect on our street,” said Gratton, adding that he has been trying for the 15 years he has lived on Corry Place to get the city to look at improvements. “It is a great place to live, it is a great location. But it is very sadly neglected.” Gratton said some of his neighbours have been trying to get city hall’s attention for close to two decades. Each year, Gratton said he and his wife visit city hall and are assured by staff that Corry Place is on the books and will be worked on in the next few years. “We have had that same story for over 20 years, and nothing has been done,” said Gratton. They were happy when city staff were able to present them with some concrete plans, but less than pleased with paying for a portion of the costs. “I don’t believe that is written in stone, but we want to make it very

Not only do we need these improvements but we deserve these improvements. — Garry Gratton

clear that we, the residents of Corry Place, are unanimous in not thinking or feeling this is a fair,” Gratton said, pointing out that the street hasn’t had a proper drainage system since the first house was built in 1960, and lacks proper street paving.

Council debated the issue of costs, eventually supporting the a suggestion from Coun. Judy Sentes they send the plan through to the 2015 budget talks with the city taking on the full cost of the curbs. Coun. Helena Konanz warned that they could be setting a precedent. “There will be many, many more neighborhoods coming forward that have basic infrastructure issues that need to be met immediately,” said Konanz. Coun. John Vassilaki said the city shouldn’t be worried about a precedent, but rather see it as a spur to more regular roadwork. “Perhaps that is what is needed in Penticton to get us fixing up all those roads that should have been fixed many years ago,” said Vassilaki.

WestJet now boarding to Penticton and Calgary starting on Sunday From FLIGHT on PG. 3 As well, there will be a raffle to win a pair of tickets anywhere WestJet flies. Starting Oct. 26 the carrier will be offering daily, non-stop roundtrip flights aboard it’s 78-passenger Bombardier Q400 NextGen turboprop aircraft. Among those scheduled to be on the incoming flight the first day will be Ferio Pugliese, WestJet Encore president. “Penticton’s community support and business case fits with our ongoing commitment to serving the Okanagan Valley,” said Pugliese. “We are excited to bring our low fares, great guest experience and convenient schedule to a community in need of air service options. Guests will now have access to 18 same-day connections to WestJet destinations out of Calgary.” As well, Penticton Mayor Garry Litke, who described getting the WestJet service as one of the highlights of his term as mayor, is also looking forward to the flight. “The city has been working hard to secure this eastern route and respond to the region’s needs, opening the door for increased business and tourism opportunities,” he said. “We can’t wait to board the first non-stop flight to Calgary.” The initial flight schedule leaves Calgary at 2:05 p.m.

(MDT) arriving in Penticton at 2:21 p.m. (PDT) leaving at 2:55 p.m. and getting into Calgary at 5 p.m. While some restrictions apply, one-way fares begin at (all in) $103.03 for Penticton to Calgary and $134.53, Calgary to Penticton. Higher airport fees in Alberta account for the price difference. Also on board will be Robert Palmer, manager of WestJet’s public relations, who will be the master of ceremonies. “It’s exciting because we’re coming to a community that we know will be truly supportive. For heaven’s sakes, they did a flash mob to communicate in no uncertain terms that they wanted the service, so we know we’re going to be welcomed with open arms,” he said. “That just makes it all the more exciting and the service is

going well, we’ve looked at the forward bookings and it’s doing what we hoped it would. “Low fares, great guest experience really is built into who we are.” Executive director Chris Bower of Tourism Penticton, the organization currently negotiating the service agreement with the company is also excited about the startup. “This represents the culmination of a lot of years of hard work and a lot of involvement,” said Bower. “With economic development and tourism so related, it’s a big deal for the visitor and also for people who are going out of here.” He is looking forward to working with the airline similar to the way they have with Air Canada in developing tourism-related promotions down the road.

High-demand for Oliver jail-jobs seminars Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Extra seminars may be added to accommodate higher-than-expected demand from people interested in working as correctional officers at the new jail near Oliver. B.C. Corrections staged two-hour orientation sessions in four communities throughout the region earlier this month to provide people with information about what the 240 guards expected to work at the jail may encounter on the job. A total of 290 people turned out to those meetings, B.C. Corrections spokeswoman Cindy Rose said in a statement. Longer two - or three-day readiness sessions, which are now full, began last week and continue into November with just over 200 people registered or attending, she continued. “Due to popularity, B.C. Corrections is considering holding additional sessions to keep up with the demand,” Rose said. Meanwhile, construction activity is now under-

way at the jail site in the Senkulmen Business Park just north of Oliver. “We’ve been really making great progress,” said Richard Burley, vice-president of project delivery for Plenary Justice, one of the companies in the consortium of private-sector partners that will design, build, finance and maintain the $193-million jail. Burley said construction workers have begun pouring footings and installing in-ground services in preparation for the arrival in January of pre-cast concrete pods and walls that will be trucked to Oliver and make up the shell of the 378-cell prison. “Once they come on site it’ll go up really quickly,” he said. The cells are being poured in Washington State, while the walls are being produced in Penticton, according to Burley, who added there are approximately 60 people working at the site each day, and another 20 doing pre-fabrication work off-site. Plenary Justice is under contract to deliver the completed jail to the B.C. government by fall 2016, and Burley said he has “absolutely no concerns at all about the schedule.”

EDITORIAL Canada is not immune to violence

Canada has been lucky for a great many years. Unlike the majority of countries around the world, terrorist acts, domestic or foreign, are rare in this country. Until this week, there hasn’t been a major terrorist incident on Canadian soil since the FLQ crisis in 1970. But we got a wake-up call Wednesday when an armed man killed a soldier guarding the National War Memorial in Ottawa and then moved on to Parliament. House of Commons Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers killed the gunman before he could kill anyone else, but the message here is clear. We are not immune. As we praise Vickers and mourn Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, there is a looming question of what the future holds for us as a country and a people in the coming days. As the flag flies at half-mast over the B.C. legislature MLA’s are already talking about installing metal detectors and other security measures in Victoria, which can only be considered a necessary reaction, considering the events of Wednesday. But with the shocking incident so fresh, it is hard to predict how much will change or how long those changes will last. Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party of Canada, summed it up well. “It is a day of tragedy. We must ensure we keep our responses proportionate to whatever threat remains.” However horrific this incident is, it shouldn’t be allowed to change Canada’s character as a nation devoted to peace and striving, however uncertainly, toward a just society. Too many countries, including our neighPENTICTON WESTERN bour to the south, have gone down the road of letting national security trump human rights. But come this Remembrance Day, along with the usual observances, be sure to set aside a few extra moments to remember both Cpl. Cirillo, senselessly killed in the performance of his duties and Sergeant-at-Arms Vickers, who prevented further tragedy.

Canadians stand in unity against threats There may not be words that can convey this week in Ottawa. Having spent close to 10 hours in a hastily secured lock up while emergency responders bravely secured the Parliamentary precinct was an unprecedented experience for all of us. The sound of gunshots, the gunman being killed mere feet away, and later learning of the tragic death of a member of our armed forces while performing his service as an honour guard is more than can be conveyed or reﬂected upon in the brief space of this column. On behalf of the citizens of OkanaganCoquihalla I know our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those armed forces members who were tragically executed over this past week. I would also like to take a moment and thank the

many citizens who took the time to express concern during this ordeal — it is an experience that I believe all Canadians will not forget. It has been suggested that the day in question will forever change Canada. I submit it cannot and should not. In the weeks and months ahead while we learn more about this week we must never forget what we know about ourselves. As Canadians we have always stood bravely to ﬁght for freedom, for democracy and against those who would do us harm. We welcome and embrace our vastness and our uniqueness. We may at times disagree however our way is to do so respectfully and peacefully. It is our diversity that has united us as Canadians in values that we share that make us

Dan Albas MP Report proud. Our Canada is one that will always be united and as Canadians we will stand together to defend those principles that have long helped to build our country. On Thursday the House of Commons resumed and the democratic debate and discussion that will ﬁll the halls serves as a reminder that Canada cannot and will not be intimidated by senseless and

disturbing acts of brutal violence. It is understandable that changes will occur on Parliament Hill however from my own standpoint we must ensure that our democratic institutions remain in operation and that they are always accessible to Canadians who are served by them. It is also important that we remain open minded and continue to learn from this week’s events and take whatever measures are necessary to protect citizens from harm, whether they be Parliamentarians, security forces, public servants or citizens. As I write this week’s report, our House ceremonies have just reopened with a welldeserved tribute to the bravery of our SergeantAt-Arms Kevin Vickers, who alongside his team courageously defended the House of Commons

from an armed assault. After the ceremony our Prime Minister, along with the leaders of the opposition expressed unity as we move forward to ensure our democratic process stands above the threats of violence and terror. Collectively Members of Parliament represent Canadians and as much as we often agree to disagree in this place the unity among the House on this day was a reminder that Canada is a united country that will always stand together in the ﬁght for freedom, for democracy and the rule of law. I welcome your comments and questions and can be reached at dan. albas@parl.gc.ca or toll free at 1-800-665-8711.

Downtown business owners powerless Recently the City of Penticton rolled out its plan for downtown revitalization. The plan includes reducing Main Street to two lanes and widening the sidewalks. This is a plan that has considerable opposition to it from property owners in the 200 block of Main Street and we are almost powerless to do anything about it. In addition, the citizens of Penticton have no direct say on the utilization of one of the main traffic routes through our city. How did this happen? The city has imposed a reverse petition process to record opposition to the revitalization plan. In the reverse petition process it is assumed that if you do nothing you are in favour of the project. Only those opposed have to register their opposition by voting against the project. The parameters of the petition, set by the city, requires that 50 per cent of the land/property owners who own 50 per cent of the assessed values of the properties within the catchment area have to oppose the project. This is an impossible threshold to meet because the city included the 100 block of Main Street in the catchment area for assessed values. This means that Valley First Credit Union and the Bank of Montreal, both on the 100 block, outweigh the combined values of opposing properties in the 200 block. Banks are well

Environmentalists’ last stand

I agree with David Suzuki, this will be his last hurrah. Above everything else David Suzuki is an actor, and acting the part of environmentalist was one of his best performances. Suzuki’s travelling dog and pony show, now being played, at selective locations, exposes his act for what it is: a distraction. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms Section 7 states everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice. Life, liberty and security of the person, is the legally enshrined protection of the environment in the Constitution. Environmental degradation and contamination of air and water induces illness that competent Constitutional experts can articulate are violations of the right to life, liberty and security of the person. David Suzuki claims he has nothing to lose, therefore one can assume his credibility as an Environmentalist is about to disappear and this is a last ditch attempt to secure donations for his foundation by redirecting Canadians attention away from the global focus on fossil fuel power-plant emissions to a nonexistent constitutional crisis.

Jobs needed now

Councillor Helena Konanz recently met with Shirley Bond the Minister of jobs, tourism and trades training at the UBCM. The plan to bring permanent welding training to Penticton to provide high-paying jobs in this sector is a good one and has merit. According to Konanz, economic development officer Colleen Pennington’s plan to provide services to the spouses of business people that council is hoping to entice to settle here was received favourably by the minister. In my opinion this is nebulous and a guaranteed work project that will take many years to fulfill. This makes it an ideal government project. It keeps lots of civil servants busy and gives government employees a reason to shuffle paper and feel like they are doing something valuable. All of these spouses would have different job qualifications and needs. Most of those

known for not opposing such projects by remaining silent on them, not wanting to appear to oppose supposed community progress. The reality is, if the banks do not vote, the reverse petition process is bound to pass in favour of the project. The city used a similar tactic on Martin Street by including the Landmark Cinema property in that catchment area to negate any opposition from Martin Street property owners. What this means for the citizens of Penticton is that a group of 11 (42 per cent) land/property owners opposed (out of a total of 26 owners) to the project are all that stands between this project to reduce Main Street to two lanes going ahead or not. Those 11 landowners basically have no voice given the thresholds imposed by the city in the reverse petition process as outlined above. This issue should be an election issue for the entire community. However, the city has decided to put a time frame on this so that the process will be finished before the election. This appears to be in hopes of having it slide through unopposed. Make no mistake, the 200 block was chosen to be the first block of the revitalization for a specific reason. Once the 200 block is converted to two lanes, there is really no choice for the rest of Main Street but to be converted as

needs are served best by infrastructure. Successful people make their own opportunities as long as the infrastructure is there to provide those opportunities. There are more immediate things that can be done that will provide jobs now. We need high paying jobs for the young people in this town. And we need the necessary infrastructure to supply it. Several years ago a high-tech line was built from the coast to Kelowna. The result was an explosion in high-tech businesses and highpaying skilled jobs relocating to Kelowna. The Okanagan should be another Silicone Valley. Years later we are still waiting for a high-tech line to be built an additional 40 miles to Penticton. It is the job of council to provide the infrastructure necessary to bring those jobs to our town. Why was this not done? Shortage of land in the Industrial Park needs to be constructively addressed. Airport expansion is long overdue. Kelowna’s airport was once small yet look at the infrastructure around it today. While we cannot hope or likely even want to compete with Kelowna, much could be done to alleviate the current shortage of highpaying jobs and the shortage of industrial land. These suggestions require working with provincial and federal governments. Both of which are elected to represent us and live and/or work in our area. Instead this council is relying on grants, tax breaks and airy-fairy schemes to baby-sit imaginary spouses for imaginary businesses. Elvena Slump Penticton

Misinformed on Russia politics

In response to Mr. Donald Thorsteinson, I would rather suspect that his opinion and “knowledge” is based entirely on lies disseminated by our lying and history-distorting media that regurgitates what the power elite of the West feeds to it. Mr. Putin with over 85 per cent approval rating by the Russians would perhaps get the same poor public approval vote (below 30 per cent) as his counterparts in Washington, DC, or Ottawa, were it not for the fact that he did more good for the Russian people, as they were deceived by the West after the fall of the USSR, than anybody could have done. If he hadn’t put his foot down on dealing

well. The estimated cost of the revitalization of 200 block and part of the 100 block alone is over $2 million. Any costs to revitalize the rest of Main Street would be in addition to this. While the downtown landowners and businesses do want a cleanup of the downtown, we are not in favour of this particular plan. Until meaningful discussions can take place, including producing appropriate traffic studies for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic, we need to work to rally opposition to the plan. The landowners opposed to the project are asking at this time that members of the community please start to pressure council to put this on hold until after the election. At that time the new council, Downtown Penticton Association, downtown revitalization committee and the landowners can get together and discuss this plan fully. We will also have a better idea of what the citizens of Penticton think about reducing downtown Main Street to two lanes. If you choose to do nothing, you may have to live with the consequences of the changes in which you had no voice. Steve Brown Peach City Runners - Penticton

with the Western psychopaths, there would be a real holocaust by now. The NATO plan of encirclement of Russia was initiated shortly after promising Mr. Gorbachow the opposite. No, the West does not need to fear Mr. Putin, it is Mr. Putin that must fear the West ( run by a select group of Talmudic psychopaths and their proxies). The stigma of Stalin still haunts the Russian people and the West wants to cash in on that by supporting some elements in the Ukraine that want NATO bases next to the Russian border. But Mr. Putin is not as naive as Adolf Hitler was to fall into the trap of starting the Second World War (I believe it was planned by Mr. Churchill and his Zionist friends shortly after the First World War to annihilate the German people). Far more dangerous than Mr. Putin to world peace are the un/misinformed people, who support such people like the Bushes and Obamas, etc. in the U.S. and the treasonous leaders we had in Canada and elsewhere, because they will elect another group of evil politicians after the present crop is gone. Believing in lies will enslave us; seeking the truth will lead to our freedom! Rolf Loth Penticton

Stressed over shutters

Two years ago my husband and I chose to retire in Penticton. Our former home was in Alberta, we moved here because of the weather and felt this a perfect size city with the facilities available to make a comfortable place to live forever. On the surface the city appeared well managed and a great place to live. We have been making our condo a home where we feel very safe and comfortable. Since purchasing a condo in Cherry Lane Towers, we have encountered unexpected stress regarding our balcony roll shutters that were installed legally several years ago. A city official has said we must remove them and this would be at our own expense. Originally the cost for the shutters was approximately $12,000 and removal would presumably be a similar cost. Upwards of 100 condo owners are feeling harassed. Our condo of choice faces west and the Talius Roll Shutters protect our home in heavy winds, strong summer sunshine and winter storms. There is documented proof of strength in

case of flying objects from the outside. They also provide security most needed on the ground floors. The shutters are safe; the product is used in high-risk hurricane areas because of their quality and safety record. Talius is a British Colombia (Salmon Arm) company so their standards should meet B.C. building codes. No building permit was required by our city at time of installation, and we cannot find any provincial code that has been broken. Where does a city get the idea that they can give a local business a licence to practice in the city and then make a law that presumably prohibits its use as unsafe? Over the past four years our strata inquiries as to where we were non-compliant were ignored with more demands. It appears that an unnamed city staff member is trying to impose his opinion as law. Where does the city get the authority to ask us to make changes retroactively? Did I also mention there is suggestion of putting a notice on our titles to further intimidate us. Beware fellow citizens with balconies, it could be you next. Is this how you want to be treated? Marlene Pixley Cherry Lane Towers Penticton

On funding for firefighters restored:

“I hope they don’t expect a pat on the back for something that shouldn’t have happened.”

On WestJet deal handed to Tourism:

“So if the city, in its charter, can’t give money directly to a business, how do they think they can do it through Tourism Penticton who’s employees and operating budget are paid by the city? Having Westjet would be nice, however I think council and the CAO are in some very bad water on this one. Bet Air Canada will be ticked.”

“Which probably explains the crappy departure and arrival times. I’m heading to Calgary through Kelowna. Allows me to work and return home same day. Hope Westjet gets a better schedule here..”

On Peters Bros. paying for Vees tickets for youth

“Wow. Incredibly generous! (And now I’m liable to give my kids $$ for the concession!) Thanks Peters Bros.” — posted by Terri Phillips

On Hospital deal will see workers laid off: “I have never liked these P3P developments. Taxpayer money is involved here and yet we have virtually no control over the project?”

“Should get rid of some management that’ll free up more money in a hurry.”

On Parliament Hill shooting in Ottawa:

“It’s not the first time this type of violence has happened in Canada over the decades. The militant Quebec Separatist cell, the FLQ, reborn? Got you thinking, eh. Not the FLQ but other crazies have done this type of thing before not just on places of government, but in schools and other public institutions -- and on a much worse scale and which did not end, as this incident will, in the reduction of Canadian civil liberties and rights.”

The Peach City Community Radio Society would like to give a big thanks to all those who attended our media event, held recently at Cowork Penticton. We had three major announcements to share and it was great to see so many members of the media, as well as local politicians including Andrew Jakubeit, John Vassilaki, Helena Konanz, Katie Robinson and Mayor, Gary Litke there. Peach City Radio is pleased to announce to the community of Penticton that we have submitted applications to the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) and to Industry Canada to establish a low-power frequency modulated (LPFM) terrestrial broadcast signal in Penticton. These applications are a major step towards Peach City Radio becoming the Okanagan’s very first broadcast community radio station: a new

choice in radio in Penticton that is created by the community for the community. The process of obtaining a licence could take between six to 12 months, as the CRTC requires this time to process our application. Peach City Radio has also found a home for our radio station at the Valley First Community Arts Centre. The Peach City Community Radio Society has been working closely with the Penmar Community Arts Society for the past six months, in defining a physical space for community radio to happen in Penticton. We expect to occupy our new studio space, in the renovated building, in early 2015. In order to make all of this happen, Peach City Radio has launched our Raise the Radio Fundraising Campaign. The goal of this campaign is to raise the estimated $30,000 required to establish a physical presence for Peach City Radio in Penticton.

This cost includes purchase of broadcast equipment, as well as outfitting of a studio space. Individuals, businesses and community groups interested in supporting the creation of a volunteer-driven community radio station are encouraged to support our efforts via our website or through our community support committee members. Peach City Radio would like to thank our community partners for helping to make our announcement event possible: Cowork Penticton, Upper Bench Estate Winery, the Tin Whistle Brewing Co. and Gregor’s Gourmet. For more information about how you can help make community radio a reality in Penticton, visit our website www.peachcityradio.org.

Toy Run a success

East sinkhole horror wars, gains momentum with the increased effort to degrade and eliminate black U.S. President Obama. Note the U.S. Republican Congress induced Obama black plague of which the Ebola virus pales in comparison. Added is the U.S. industrial military complex and its senators pressure for more Middle East war in which Canada has trapped itself. Plus a dysfunctional Secret Service crowned with the Brutus-Panetta ambush. President Obama realizes it is impossible to defeat ISIS or their replacements when they are preferred over the not reported understandable intense dislike of the U.S. by the destroyed and wounded Arab nations plus Vietnam. The conclusion will be nuclear.

ed is his obvious professionalism. His reporting and interviews are done in an impartial, balanced and fair presentation of fact. I would guess that no one except his closest friends would know how Mansbridge votes or for which party. Many other journalists such as Don Martin and Craig Oliver of CTV have the same view of impartiality and also deserve our respect. Basically, it’s called freedom of the press, and in a democracy, one of our cherished freedoms. The proposed changes in copyright law by the Conservative government would in effect challenge that freedom. The background is straightforward. The Conservatives have been using attack ads against Justin Trudeau of the Liberal party in an attempt to discredit him and Liberal policies. The evidence so far is that they haven’t been working, or at least not as effectively as they would wish. Trudeau has gone up in the polls. So what the Conservatives would like to do now is use actual clips from the news media and distort and slant them, of course, to fit their propaganda. Using the clips of distinguished journalists lends the message legitimacy and makes the lies more believable. Also, the proposal would force the news media to show the ads even though in effect they would be lending their voice to the distortions. This is another blatant attempt by the Conservatives to influence the next election in their favour. As an alternative, why don’t we simply ban all political advertising and rely on the impartial filter of the professional news media to help us decide.

Like many other people I also wonder what group of morons came up with the new tire regulations for the use of winter tires? My question is for the morons to answer if they can, or pass it on to dumber and dumber. There is no mention of rubber tires found on all types of travel and utility trailers requiring the M/S - Snowflake or perhaps studs. or God forbid, chains? These travelling hunks of metal on rubber can easily jackknife under extreme road conditions be it wet, dry or covered in ice or snow. What’s next, I ask of the morons? Rubber boots and shoes? Pedal bikes? Wheel barrows? Rubber-tired baby carriages and all-wheels that have rubber capable of hitting the blacktop and skidding out of control? Tom Isherwood Olalla

Within their rights

I would like to thank Evelyn Enns for putting into words my sentiments exactly. Mayor Litke and the city were and are within their rights to protect staff against harassment and bullying. Maybe if all councillors attended conferences where networking and sharing of ideas are facilitated, they would learn from their peers how to appropriately handle issues instead of shooting from the hip and trying to reinvent the wheel. We need good knowledgeable managers who are prepared to share with and learn from others, not people who live in ivory towers for 60 years in our small city thinking they have all the solutions. Again, thank you Mayor Litke and City staff for your good hard work. David Johnson Penticton

Laws and following the golden rule It sounds like the RCMP, hired for the Boonstock event this past August, were there for a good time. Described as using sunscreen, munching on lunches, clocking up expenses travelling or lodging in one of our finest resorts. Furthermore, it appears our RCMP are hiding things. It makes one wonder if there is a need for laws and law enforcement? Having attended a preBoonstock chamber of commerce meeting, I remember a lengthy

question from a senior member of the Penticton Indian Band wondering about the need for so much policing for the upcoming event. He is not alone is that thinking. Why do events like this have policing? Apart from the fact that the government dictates it. And, why do they? Why shouldn’t people who want to have a good time be allowed to, without any restrictions or policing? For that matter, why should children be told

Foster’ing Penticton

California is in the grips of a record setting drought. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration western regional climate services director the state is now “exceptionally vulnerable” because of the impact conditions are having on groundwater supplies. Even if California were to receive its average annual rainfall it would do little to alleviate the impacts. But those impacts from drought will not only affect California. B.C. imports almost 70 per cent of its vegetables from the U.S. with California making up almost half. A recent study commissioned by Vancity Credit Union showed that there could be a price jump in B.C. of up to 34 per cent in the next five years on fruits and vegetables. For the past 50 years as a society we’ve relied on a food system that has been propped up by hidden subsidies in the form of abundant water supplies, cheap petroleum for fertilizers and transportation and a stable growing climate. That made food cheap. Those hidden subsidies are no longer hidden. The price of oil has jumped nearly $80 a barrel in the past decade, the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events are increasing which leaves this community, which is reliant on food from else-

Every so often people get fed up with the way things are, and say that we need a change. What is it that we need? Would it be in our best

There is a lot of instability out in the world today and it’s hard not to feel overwhelmed by external events. But as a community we can choose how to respond to those things we can’t control. That’s why beyond development, jobs and taxes we need to have food security as an election issue. One candidate for council who really sticks out on issues like this is Ryan Foster. The prudent thing to do as a community would be to have people in local government who are exploring alternatives in policy, institutions and infrastructure that can help lessen the impacts climate change, food security and resource depletion will have here at home. That’s what sets Ryan apart from the other candidates in my mind is that he has a platform that takes the growing instabilities into account and wants to explore ways of dealing with those things at a local level. So urge people who are worried about these things and want to explore the alternatives to visit fosterpenticton.ca and have a look.

SEND US YOUR Resident says voting machines a FAVOURITE RECIPES! threat to democracy in the city Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Democracy in Penticton is under threat, according to Kevin Proteau and some of his supporters. The source of the threat, says Proteau, is the electronic tabulating machines the city has used to count votes since 1999. Proteau, along with Vicki Lightfoot, appeared before council at their Oct. 6 regular meeting to express their concerns that use of the machines prevented proper scrutinizing of the vote count and was therefore unconstitutional. They were back again at the Oct. 20 meeting to hold a protest outside before the results of a report by Dana Schmidt, the city’s chief elections officer, were received by council. “Our constitution enshrines the right for citizens to observe the vote count at elections,” Lightfoot told council. Using electronic vote counting machines, she said make that impossible “Historically that right to vote has been validated by scrutineers, who amongst other duties are assigned to observe the counting of the ballots,” said Lightfoot. “With the use of counting machines … our rights to have our votes counted are no longer guaranteed.” “The electrical counting machines are dependent on software, which can be manipulated with a memory card,” said Lightfoot. “A simple switch of a memory card on the day the vote are counted can change the way the votes are counted.” Lightfoot and Proteau refer to a decade-old video by a University of Princeton professor demonstrating hacking a similar machine as proof of how easily the vote could be hacked, and suggest it could be done remotely. During the press conference, Lightfoot admitted that she had never been in touch with city staff to ask what security procedures were in place to prevent such a hack. Schmidt said steps are taken throughout the process to prevent tampering with the machine and the memory cards, which are sent back to the city via a secure courier after being programmed by Elections Systems & Software, LLC. (ESS).

According to Schmidt’s report, the Accu-Vote OS machines used by Penticton are used in 46 other municipalities with technical support from ESS. More BC local governments may use these machines without the technical support of ESS. Once the cards are back in Penticton, Schmidt said, they are in the custody of the chief or deputy election officer until they are sealed into the counting machines on voting day. After that, an election official is with the machine at all times during polling. That would prevent the hack shown in the video Proteau and Lightfoot refer too. Nor, according to Schmidt, can the machine be tampered with remotely. “The Accu-Vote OS is a standalone machine that is not network enabled, thereby not allowing for any hacking via the internet,” said Schmidt. Using the machines saves the city both money and time, said Schmidt, especially considering the large number of candidates that will be on the Nov. 15 ballot. “A hand count would go all night,” she said, adding that most election officials have worked a 12-hour day by the close of polls, making an inaccurate count likely.

Council showed little appetite for taking the matter further, and a suggestion from Coun. Judy Sentes that they recruit youth volunteers went undiscussed. “I view this as a conspiracy theory and a mistrust of government,” said Coun. Andrew Jakubeit, who is running for mayor on Nov. 15. Proteau was not pleased with the results and said he would be taking further action in addition to a complaint he already filed with the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. “You had a great suggestion there. But it sounds like a lot of hot air because nobody even talked to it, of getting students involved. You could have combined the youth and the old together to work together to have these manual vote counts,” Proteau told council, adding that he now planned to file a constitutional challenge through the B.C. Supreme Court. “That could wind up costing the city upwards of $100,000 and all you had to do was involve the students and have a manual vote count to appease the people that are concerned,” he said.

Eight break-ins reported last weekend Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Teeth-whitening products and clothing were among the items taken during eight break-ins last weekend in Penticton. Mounties said in a press release that six of the break-ins between Friday and Monday targeted laundry rooms or storage areas at local apartment buildings, where clothing, coins and liquor were taken. The other two were an attempt at M&M Meat

Shop, followed by a successful break-in at neighbouring Bright Smile Teeth Whitening, from which product was taken. Penticton RCMP spokesman Sgt. Rick Dellebuur said in the release that police have a suspect in mind and it’s believed those responsible got into the apartment buildings “by continuing to ring tenants until someone (let) them in.” He reminded people who live in apartments to ensure they know who a visitor is before allowing that person access into a building.

Here is THe Plan Redesign the city to become a gracious host for events and festivals. In consultation with police and fire officials, other emergency responders, security firms and civil engineers, we work together to design areas of the city for the specific purpose of hosting festivals and events. Then we invite promoters and festival organizers to bring their events here. With good pre-planning and preparedness we can provide a safe and secure environment for people while allowing them to enjoy the nature of the event they are participating in. Penticton needs a job. Penticton does not currently have a major employer or source of outside revenue and our options are limited by our geography. What we do have are two lakes, ample waterfront and a summer that rivals those of Mexico or Hawaii. We live in an area that is not overdeveloped and natural enough to have deer and duck come through downtown. These are marketable commodities. Penticton has the potential to become a major international resort destination. The tourist dollars would translate into income and activity for local businesses and industry, thereby generating employment and reasons for young working families to settle in Penticton. There is a large retirement community in Penticton and this would benefit them greatly. Tourist oriented cities are beautiful places, filled with parks, paths, activities, events and entertainment; an ever changing selection of things to do. There would be venues and facilities available to locals during the off season that would not be found in a non-resort city of our size.

at the Penticton Trade & Convention Centre iniTial acTion Toward a long Term goal Promotion of the city as a host of events and festivals increasing our attraction as a tourist destination. Begin the planning phase of designing the city with specific areas, primarily beach locations, in order to facilitate our ability to be a gracious host. Become known as the place that has the resources and expertise to host and provide a safe and secure environment for people while they enjoy the nature of the event they are participating in. Take advantage and use the natural resources we have: lakes, beaches, wilderness areas, clean air, wildlife, farm land, orchards, vineyards and sunshine. These are marketable commodities that we are blessed with and people will travel long distances to enjoy them. We have a lake which is 135 km long, an average of 4-5 km wide, ideal for sailing, wind surfing, water sports and boating. A natural location for water sport competitions and events. There is no reason why Penticton could not be the water sport capital of Canada TransParency and oPenness in ciTy affairs The participation and input from the people of Penticton is vital to the success of the city. In the past, the decision makers have made choices on behalf of the people, in matters of serious impact on the well-being of the city without fully informing the public and asking for input. I plan on fully engaging the people by keeping them informed when a topic of material significance is brought forward for discussion. Before a final decision on any matter that may have material economic consequences for the businesses and working people of Penticton they will be informed of the pros and cons. I will do this by once a week or so, writing a paragraph or two, for publication in whatever media accepts them, letting you know what is we are working on. It would include the objective we are trying to achieve and the rationale we are using to justify how we are managing your tax dollars. All forms of anonymity or plausible deniability will be eliminated from council members and the mayor. We will be accountable and responsible for our decisions and the consequences of them and the people will know ‘who said what’. I plan on putting power back where it belongs: in the hands of the people. BeTTer uTilizaTion of ciTy asseTs My main focus will be on the three large ones: South Okanagan Events Center (which needs a name), Penticton Trade and Convention Center and the Penticton Recreation Center. The City of Penticton owns these assets whether we like it or not. Even if no one went and there were no shows or events we still have to pay the hard costs: interest payments, utility bills, maintenance costs, salaries, etc. To enhance our ability to pay these costs, we will give the management of these facilities a free hand and let them use some artistic license in order to aggressively prospect for potential shows and events. The basic principle is that if there is a market for an event and we can put it on at a profit or at least break even. Let’s do it. If there are serious concerns as to public safety, we will address these and see if accommodations can be made. Penticton is central to a large number of communities that are nearby, actively marketing the availability of our facilities to these outlying communities is in our best interest, even if we offered special promo packs. We the people of Penticton have to pay for these facilities, so every cent we get from people outside of our city is less for us to pay. affordaBle Housing Affordable housing is a social and community issue that needs more than a government program to fix it. A plan that allows renovation of existing or construction of new small scale multiple units, with certain incentives provided by the government, if an affordable housing unit(s) is incorporated in the plan, is workable. All Federal and Provincial governments programs and assistance would be studied first. On a civic level the participation would be in the form of tax reduction, zoning allowances or some form capital investment in land. The city will not enter into any arrangement which would require ongoing maintenance or future subsidy. A program such as this would help those that need affordable housing most: single (mothers) parents, pensioners, young working class families and the disabled Then there are those that because of social conditions cannot fully participate in the benefits that society offers. Traditionally the responsibility of caring for the (disadvantaged) poor and destitute has been taken on by religious organizations and some charitable groups. The state recognizes this by granting them a tax exempt status. The city would enter into discussion with our religious community as to the ways and means that they could apply, to provide for emergency or occasional shelter, supplies, access to facilities for hygiene, meals, outreach and we would cooperate with any well thought out plan. PenTicTon indian Band Open, honest and progressive discussion with the Penticton Indian Band must get underway immediately. The proposed business plan and development on PIB land is the most readily available source of well-paid employment, revenue and economic stimulus for the City of Penticton. It is a project which will be on-going for a number of years and with Penticton as the service community, the development will be a great source of employment and new revenue for the residents of Penticton for a long time to come. The development of the PIB land is inevitable. An amiable relationship from the very outset would greatly enhance the benefits to our community. Being an active participant in its eventuality is a prudent business position. We would be able to contribute to the shaping of the project, discuss joint venture projects and negotiate agreements that are in the best interests of all parties a neaT and PreTTy Tidy ciTy Our city is poorly maintained, there is grass growing through our sidewalks, unfinished parks, public areas in various states of disrepair. We have removed benches, gardens, landscaped areas, at our cost, which could have been left at no cost. Our downtown is a hodge-podge of sidewalk patterns without any thematic consistency. If we want to attract people to our city, we have to look attractive. Any future modifications to Penticton would be looked at from the prospective of whether it enhances the beauty of our city and will it harmonize with the overall theme that we are trying to achieve. Groups and organizations would be encouraged to adopt public spaces and put gardens, displays, art works that uplift our appearance. Businesses and residents would be asked to maintain, upkeep or place landscape features or other ideas to improve the look of their public frontage. The reward will be: the sense of pride we will get when visitors tell us, “Your city is so beautiful”.

Police vehicle rammed Joe Fries

Western News Staff

A 33-year-old Osoyoos man is in custody after the stolen truck he was allegedly driving rammed a police vehicle Tuesday in Penticton. The unidentified man was allegedly behind the wheel of a 1993 Ford F150 when a police officer gave chase around 4 a.m. on Old Airport Road, according to a press release from the Penticton RCMP. The truck missed a turn and hit a hill, then backed into the police vehicle behind it. Mounties arrested the driver soon after. The 33-year-old is in custody pending his next court appearance and faces possible charges of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and assaulting a police officer. The truck, which had an ATV in the back, was reported stolen from a home on Wade Avenue about 10 minutes before the chase ensued, police said.

Teachers to get partial pay for extra day Joe Fries

Western News Staff

After claiming they were shorted a day’s pay in September, local teachers have now persuaded the Okanagan Skaha School District to settle up. “They’re pleased. I think it goes a long way way to building that relationship again in coming to that agreement,” said Leslea Woodward, president of the Okanagan Skaha Teachers’ Union. “It was hard for our members to see teachers in other locals being paid for that day and not be.” She said the district has agreed to pay teachers based on a ratio of days worked in that month that will give them an extra 0.6 days’ pay, worth about $230 to a teacher with a bachelor’s degree at the top of the pay scale. Teachers’ salaries are divided into 10 monthly instalments that roughly equal 20 days’ pay, although in some months they work more than 20

days and in others they work less, but it balances out over the year. September should have consisted of 21 working days for which teachers would have received 20 days’ pay, but due to the strike they had 13 days deducted from their 20-day salary, leaving them seven days’ pay. However, teachers actually worked eight days that month, including one day of classroom preparation before students returned. Most school districts around B.C. compensated teachers for that preparatory day as a gesture of goodwill after the strike, but Okanagan Skaha didn’t and insisted its educators were paid according to the terms of their collective agreement. Woodward agreed the contract was followed, but argued teachers should have been paid based on a different clause in the deal that pertains specifically to partial months of work. “That’s what I took

to them in our grievance, and we came to an agreement from that,” she said. “It’s all complicated, but that’s how it works.” School board chairman Bruce Johnson said trustees stood by district administrators’ original interpretation of the collective agreement, but were happy to explore the union’s alternate view. “Some people get all hung up on changing a decision sometimes, but for me, as long as you get a proper resolution and it’s fair and you can follow the rules, I have no problem taking a second look at something and changing a decision,” he said. “And if it helps our teachers, our board is all for it, because it’s been a tough six months, especially for our teachers.” Johnson said the additional pay will be drawn from savings the district realized during the strike, but the rest of that money had to be returned to the Ministry of Education.

Scott Avenue property development rejected Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

A neighbourhood along Scott Avenue heaved a collective sigh of relief Monday when city council turned down an apartment project for the third time in two years. Short one member, council ended up in a 3-3 tie vote over a project to build a three-storey, 13-unit apartment building at 173 Avenue. Tie votes result in the defeat of a proposition. Council support for the project was split after hearing delegations from the neighbourhood, which also submitted a 39-signature petition and aired additional concerns that new units would further congest the street and that the apartment building was simply too big for the lot, and the developers, who stressed the city’s need for affordable rental housing. This Singla Bros. project has a long history, starting in Aug. 2012, when it first came before council. After protests from neighbours, council gave the project conditional support and directed the developer to meet with the neighbourhood and address their concerns. They failed to receive council approval in April 2014, and down scaled

the project once more to 13 rental units, as opposed to the original 17unit plan. Coun. Andrew Jakubeit supported the project, saying the city needs more affordable rental housing. “I am also sympathetic to the need for development and the economic activity it creates,” said Jakubeit, who was joined in supporting the project by Couns. Helena Konanz and John Vassilaki. “I think this has been revised three times now, based on neighbourhood concern.” Coun. Katie Robinson and Mayor Garry Litke both spoke out strongly against the project. “I am as open to anyone to the concept of affordable housing and rentals, but I don’t believe it all has to be on the same street,” said Robinson. “I sincerely believe Scott Ave. has reached saturation point, where it just can’t handle any more.” Litke spoke about the dangers of rezoning the city piecemeal to suit developers, and pointed out that the developer had still failed to meet expectations and the project would be a drastic change to the character of the neighbourhood. “It is just too big, too dense, in an area that is already too busy.”

Shelley Bevz grew up in the Okanagan/Similkameen area of British Columbia, in a home that relied heavily upon the forest sector to sustain our family. “My father had a small business and I remember the struggles he had with accounting, paying his employees and preparing tax forms for the government,” she said. Today, the government is at the top of the food chain ensuring collection of taxes of some form whether personal income tax, corporate income tax, sales taxes, payroll taxes, pension taxes, employment insurance taxes, property taxes, property transfer taxes, goods and services taxes and excise taxes to name a few. How does anyone keep current on the changes in taxation? Hire an experienced professional.

She received her accounting and finance diploma at the College of New Caledonia in Prince George, BC after spending 8 years working in the banking sector. She articled with a Chartered Accounting firm in the area for 8 years and obtained her Chartered Accountant designation in 1997; after which she established her own accounting firm. Since then, she has worked with small businesses in the medical, legal, hospitality, resource sector (forestry, mining, fishing), farming and ranching, aboriginal and retail sectors taking care of their accounting and tax needs. She is happy to return home close to family and friends. Please let her know if she can be of service to you.

Johnston sings with soul Dale Boyd

Western News Staff

We all take after our parents to some extent, in Lara Johnston’s case, she acquired a sense of soul from her father. The daughter of the Doobie Brothers’ Tom Johnston, Lara will be the opening act on eight stops on the Doobie Brothers tour, including the Oct. 27 performance at the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton. Growing up listening to the same soul legends as her dad like Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder, Johnston acquired a taste for the music that still influences her today. “My dad played a lot of soul music for me growing up. That was something I really latched on to,” Johnston said. Johnston is currently working on an untitled project to bring that connection to early soul to

fruition. “It’s definitely really soul influenced because that’s what I’ve grown up loving, and that’s kind of where my heart is,” Johnston said. She is now compiling as much work as possible before putting anything together officially in hopes of being able to pick out the tracks she connects with most. “It’s always a process but I know that the more you do it the closer you are to finding those moments that really feel genuine,” Johnston said. Johnston promises an album of honest lyrics with a sense of humour when appropriate. “It’s very personal, very me,” Johnston said. Johnston gained more than a taste for soul from her father. Early on she discovered the work ethic that is involved in pursuing a career in music.

“He’s a really hard worker and growing up seeing that really showed me that when you love something you have to put the hours in,” Johnston said. While work ethic isn’t what comes to mind when most people think “rock star”, Johnston feels it was a cornerstone of her father’s success and hopes to imitate his determination and commitment in her own career. “He’s so disciplined to this day, he really puts the hours in, he takes it so seriously, and it pays off, he’s amazing,” said Johnston. “Hearing his voice, seeing his work ethic, seeing him perform, he’s an incredible, confident performer on stage and that’s something I’ve definitely aspired to.” For her, the recent stint on the Doobie Brothers tour has acted somewhat like a small family reunion.

Johnston and Johnston From Johnston on PG. A16 “It’s fun because I’ve known the guys in the band forever, so it’s fun to be travelling alongside them and getting to see their show every night.” Like many rock and roll fans, Johnston grew up on the Doobie Brothers, perhaps more than anyone else could ever boast, and still gets that familiar feeling when she hears the classic songs. “It feels so good to me because it’s stuff that I grew up on, so it feels like home,” Johnston said. Joining in on part of the tour has been an opportunity for her to work on her stage presence and the finer points of her performance as well. Johnston has also taken some time to take in the many subtleties of the Canadian experience.

“It’s cool being somewhere different from America, as silly as that sounds, to be able to see the things that make Canada Canada. To hear the accents, see the signs in English and French and visit Tim Hortons,” Johnston laughed. Johnston has been making her own waves in collaborations with bands like The New Velvet and winning accolades such as the Unsigned Only award for independent musicians. The competition is put on by the International Songwriting Competition (ISC) and Johnston was the first to recieve the prize with her single K.I.S.S. “It was a really cool experience,” said Johnston. “It definitely got me a lot of exposure I wouldn’t have otherwise gotten. I got a lot of phone calls and opportunities to talk

The sounds of the seasons head to The Elite Dale Boyd

Western News Staff

Locomotive Ghost will be bringing the sounds of the four seasons with them to The Elite on Oct. 29. The indie-folk group will be playing tracks off of the four distinct, yet collaborative, works Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer showcasing the Seasons project which was recently released as a CD compilation on Oct. 17. The Calgary-based band has never made the trip to Penticton, despite the two founding members,

Ben Nixon and Mike Buckley, forming the group in Nelson. The move to Alberta was initially supposed to be a temporary one, but Calgary turned out to be the best middle ground for the band members to settle down. “Calgary just turned out to be way better than we expected,” said Nixon, bassist and performance poet for Locomotive Ghost. The southern Alberta home base helped Locomotive Ghost launch the first installment of Seasons, which came out last April. The band put the “indie” in indie band as they put the ambitious

project together in-house, right down to the hand painted vinyl sleeves. “It was definitely challenging. It was a ton of work, but it helped us connect with the project more,” Nixon said. The band planned to release a collection of seven inch vinyls with a single on each side, but the scope of the project continued to grow as they were creating it. “What we realized as we were writing those tunes and arranging them was that it started to feel like those couple of songs were a progression through the seasons. It

felt like we went from winter to spring,” Nixon said. Nixon said the idea of doing an EP for each season continued to come up in conversation, but seemed too daunting at first. “Eventually we said OK, well, if we’re all committed to doing this and know we’re all going to get a little bit crazy and stressed out for the next while, but we think it’s worth it, let’s go ahead. So we did.” Creating the project from the ground up made the band responsible for both the creative and business side of things, but according to Nixon, it became much easier to

sell something that they had put so much effort into. “It’s really easy to feel shy about trying to sell yourself,” Nixon said. “When it’s something you have a lot of pride in, the entire project, it’s easy to tell people it’s cool because you believe in it yourself.” The initial release of Seasons had the music exclusively released on vinyl, a trend becoming more and more common among independent bands. Nixon sees it as the business of demographics, which has essentially flipped in recent years. See Seasons on PG. A21

Ghosts of the seasons From SEASONS on PG. A20 “The people who would be interested in buying vinyl tend to be people under 30, so the people who didn’t really grow up with vinyl. Whereas the people who grew up with vinyl just want CDs,” Nixon said. The upcoming show at The Elite will feature songs written before the Seasons project and a few new unreleased tracks as well, but will focus largely on Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer. Locomotive Ghost has been competing for votes with bands across Canada entering the CBC Searchlight contest, a fan-driven vote that highlights Canada’s best a brightest musical acts, winning as regional finalists in the West. The contest was interesting said Nixon, adding it was just as much about social media marketing as it was the music. “You want to engage people so that they’re excited enough and feel like they’re a part of it enough to consistently support you,” Nixon

said. The band used quirky photo shoots and spelled out messages in Lego blocks on their social networking feeds. “It’s not only a challenge in getting support, but it keeps things fresh when you have to try and find ways as a group to be creative outside of just the music,” he said. As the band moves forward they hope to find some semblance of a musical direction out of the wide-spanning sounds of Seasons. Locomotive Ghost also recruited local artist Papa Thom to open up their performance at The Elite. They came across his act and discovered his tour providing guitars and meals to shelters across Canada, and decided to get in touch. “We came across him really by chance online and thought he seemed so cool that we called him up that minute and booked him,” Nixon said. The show starts at 8 p.m. and is supported by donations. For more information contact The Elite at 250-492-3051.

Studying law or medicine isn’t in the cards for an award-winning former Penticton student who’s instead considering a career as a computer programmer. “I think it’s a field a lot of people don’t know about because it is new and constantly changing,” said Princess Margaret Secondary School graduate Dana Klamut. “I hadn’t even looked

into it before university.” Klamut was recently honoured with a Governor General’s Academic Medal as her former high school’s top graduating student of 2013 after compiling an average mark of 98.2 per cent in her final two years. “I was always very focused on studying, and it’s just a great school (where) I was able to connect with the teachers and that helped a lot,” she said. “School’s always

been important to me and I’m kind of an always-try-your-best person, so as long as something’s attainable, there’s no reason not to try your hardest.” Klamut, who played basketball, field hockey and tennis while at Maggie, acknowledged her success required making some sacrifices and squeezing the most out of her days. “Time management is huge during high school. My main focus-

Help Prevent Heart Attacks with Vitamin C and Lysine Powder W. Gifford-Jones, MD

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.

es were really academics and sports, so it was about concentrating on what you were doing at the moment,” she said. “That didn’t always give a lot of free time, but as long as you’re happy with what you’re doing, that doesn’t matter too much.” Now in her second year at UBC-O in Kelowna, Klamut, who has an older sister, Toni, and returns often to Penticton visit her parents, Deb and Kerry, is majoring in math and computer science. “I’ve just always enjoyed math and (computer programming) just seemed to be closely connected, so I tried it out,” she said. Terry Grady, her former principal at Princess Margaret, said Klamut

excelled at more than academics and sports. “Dana was also a tireless worker in the area of leadership,” he said via email. “She was very involved in the extra-curricular events that took place at Princess Margaret both as a participant and an organizer.” Grady said his former pupil also gained a reputation for helping teachers and other students, particularly with math. “She modelled the Princess Margaret core values: accountability, integrity and respect,” he said. Governor General’s Academic Medals were first handed out in 1873 and recognize top students at high schools and post-secondary institutions across Canada.

New 4H horse club created in South Okanagan Western News Staff

The South Valley Silver Spurs is the newest 4H club in the Okanagan Valley, and is welcoming all horse enthusiasts, ages nine to 19, from Summerland to Osoyoos. The horse club is open to all levels of riders of any discipline and is run by experienced 4H leaders Janette Lauritzen and Susie Tebbutt. The club will offer regular riding lessons in English and Western, give lessons on roping, cattle penning, and trail riding. In addition, members will go on camp-outs with their horses, have stable management lessons and go on field trips to local saddle makers and foaling barns. 4H is a global organization with more than four million youth members worldwide. It aims to promote leadership, teamwork, healthy living, self-esteem and responsibility in caring for animal projects. In the South Valley Silver Spurs club, senior members pair up with junior and rookie members to act as mentors and build a spirit of teamwork. The South Valley Silver Spurs is fortunate to have the assistance of one of only 10 provincial 4H ambassadors, Mac Tebbutt. “4H is about animal care, and about developing life skills such as public speaking,” said Tebbutt. “This year we are planning demonstrations. This includes public speaking in pairs where the juniors and seniors will work together to teach a new skill. This will be a fun and exciting night.” Tebbutt said it is also an honour to start the new club with Lauritzen who was Tebuutt’s first 4H leader at 10 years old. “I have had many horse projects, junior leadership projects and now this project as an ambassador. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate 4H BC’s 100th anniversary than to lead off with a new set of 4H members,” said Tebbutt. For more information on the club contact Lauritzen and Tebbutt at 250-490-9807 or visit them online at www.facebook.com/pages/South-Valley-SilverSpurs-4-H-Club.

New recycling program turning a profit Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Five months into a new B.C.-wide recycling program, issues have begun to crop up at some of the region’s smaller landfills. Responsibility for recycling was handed over in May to MultiMaterial B.C., an industry group represents companies that introduce the most recyclable waste into the marketplace through product packaging, which they’re now required to recycle and collect. The switch was accomplished in this area by providing incentives to local governments like the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen to continue and expand curb-side pickup programs already in place. And at landfills, additional containers were placed in order to accept new items, like styrofoam, and allow for more thorough sorting of paper products. “It’s better run in

terms of waste reduction,” RDOS solid waste management co-ordinator Cameron Baughen told the board at its meeting last week. He said the proportion of material set out for curb-side pickup that can actually be recycled has increased from 85 to 95 per cent, and the total amount of material being sent for recycling has also gone up. Plus, the drop-off system set up at Campbell Mountain Landfill has been “very successful,” and actually generated a nearly $1,800 monthly profit during the summer, since the RDOS gets paid for the material, explained Baughen. The profit would have been more, but a new shelter was created to cover the soft-sided mega-bags used for some items and a staff member has been on shift 30 hours a week to educate people during sorting. However, recycling programs at smaller

landfills in Oliver, Okanagan Falls and Keremeos cost taxpayers a total of about $6,450 a month to operate during the summer. Green By Nature, the company contracted by MMBC to pick up and transport recycling from landfills to sorting facilities elsewhere, has stated a preference to use 40-yard roll-off bins for collection. In most cases, however, that would require a capital outlay for stairs and safety features around the bins, which the RDOS didn’t budget for, so existing frontend bins have been left in place at some sites and the RDOS still pays to transport those loads to a collection point in Penticton. To help reduce costs, RDOS staff has recommended the Keremeos transfer station reduce its participation in the MMBC program to just plastic bags, glass and styrofoam, which are collected in megabags, and go to tender for a private contract to

Bus service to Kelowna remains top transit priority for region Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Transit service between Penticton and Kelowna remains an important element in a proposed regional transit plan that was rolled out last week for local politicians. “That (route) was the highest priority we had,” said B.C. Transit planner Adriana McMullen, who presented the 25-year plan to Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen directors. “It’s people from all over the region who want that.” She and others from B.C. Transit spent the summer collecting public input on the regional transit system and came up with a list of short- and longer-term priorities for the area. Other high priorities include more frequent service between Osoyoos and Penticton and twice-weekly service in Keremeos. Under the plan, Penticton would serve as a hub with connections reaching to Osoyoos, Princeton and Kelowna. “One of the biggest improvements I see is the effort to make a coherent system to tie all the branches together,” said Angelique Wood, the RDOS director for Hedley-Rural Keremeos. Others, however, don’t think the plan is ambitious enough. Helena Konanz, a Penticton city councillor and RDOS director, said

she was discouraged that the goal in 25 years’ time is only to double to three per cent the number of trips in Penticton taken on transit rather than via some other form of transportation. Tom Siddon, the director for Okanagan Falls-Kaleden, said he was disappointed not to see a park-andride in Kaleden included in the plan. “There are enough people — particularly seniors and elders — who would want service,” he said. “You at least have to stop at Kaleden junction.” McMullen said a transit exchange is tentatively planned for the truck scale on Highway 97 south of the community, but Siddon said that’s too far away and suggested something closer to the community’s gas station. “I’ll help you find a property,” he offered. Other communities on the south and east side of Skaha Lake, like Heritage Hills and Okanagan Falls, are slated to get transit service in January. B.C. Transit is still presenting its draft plan to local governments in the region, and, if fully approved in principle, will then move to strike a committee next summer to prioritize and put service improvements in place. A similar planning approach was used in the West Kootenays, which now has regional transit in place that connects Trail, Castlegar, Nelson, Nakusp and outlying areas.

handle everything else, which the RDOS will still pay to collect there in the meantime. That will allow time for RDOS staff to see what it will cost to rejig the configuration of the busy, cramped site to allow for the full MMBC

program. Staff also recommended the Okanagan Falls landfill, which has limited hours and doesn’t accept household waste, be removed from the MMBC program and its licence given to the Oliver bot-

tle depot so it can become an MMBC dropoff point. And at the Oliver landfill, RDOS staff recommended investing up to $56,500 to accommodate the 40-yard roll-off bins and proper infrastructure for the

mega-bags favoured by MMBC. The RDOS board is expected to approve most of the recommendations at its Nov. 6 meeting, with the proposed change in Oliver deferred to allow more time for study.

Crafters get into holiday spirit Western News Staff

FOR BREAKING NEWS 24/7

WWW.PENTICTONWESTERNNEWS.COM

Eager for the Christmas season, a trio of young crafters will get a good dose of it in November. A showcase of arts and crafts will be presented five consecutive weekends with over 30 booths, including young arts and crafters Taneesha Nicholas (who has been featured at the Penticton Art Gallery previously), Olivia Loewen and Mykenna Sailes talents. “What I did was go to different markets and shows and found the most interesting things and invited people to the November show. It filled up so fast, but I also wanted something where the youth could show their work and sell it. I hope in the future to feature more young people’s work,” said event organizer Dennis Chaykowski of C-Me Live. The show will feature sellers from all over the Okanagan and out to Rock Creek and Castlegar. Chaykowski said products range from homemade crafts, jewelry, sweaters, artists, photography, handmade soaps, candles, chocolates, baking, custom deco mesh wreaths, knit/crochet items, pottery, art easels to bone carvings, Alpaca wool toques and more. “There will be many more items for that special person or that hard-to-gift person on your Christmas list,” said Chaykowski. The space rented for the show is at 557 Main St. Chaykowski said there are two areas, one of which will have rotating booths over the course of the five weekends. “That way there will be a different look

to the show each weekend and keep things fresh for people coming back. The show is a great way to get into the Christmas spirit,” said Chaykowski. The November Art and Crafts Showcase starts on the Nov. 1 weekend. The show runs for five consecutive weekends on Thursdays and Fridays from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Admission is free and donations to the Salvation Army Food Bank are appreciated. Chaykowski said he has set a goal to raise over 226 kilograms. “There is such a need in this community this is a great way to give back. It will also be neat for people to see all the food stack up as we go and we will keep a weight tally or have a barometer showing how much has been donated,” he said.

Firefighters donate to centre Western News Staff

Penticton Firefighters Local 1399 donated $25,000 to the B.C. Professional Firefighers’ Burn Fund to help build accommodations for burn and trauma patients and their family caregivers in Vancouver. “I have never been more proud of the fire fighters of our province than I am today,” said Michael Hurley, President of the burn fund at the groundbreaking ceremony in September. The Penticton firefighters raised money through fundraising events and direct payroll deductions. Teaming up with Vernon Fire Fighters Local 1517 and West Kelowna Fire Fighters Local 4457, who each also raised $25,000, provided an opportunity to directly sponsor the library/common area of the new Burn Fund Centre. The province’s critical shortfall in accommodation for burn and trauma patients means that patients’ health may be compromised

Profile

ee Gilman of Gilman Road, my grandmother became a Summerland orchardist in 1948. I arrived here first in 1974, followed by my brother Robert Gilman and sister Barb Etter. From Summerland Research Station to working graveyards at 7/11, I joined Summerland’s working retired. But not all is well in Paradise! Unity – Summerland is fractured into eight equally important groups. A united Summerland means businesses will grow; the arts will have a home; tourism will flourish; agriculture will be recognized as precious; developers will be appreciated for the value and worthiness that they can be; environment protected; youth with a choice to stay and work for more than minimum wage and seniors enjoying life with policing 24 hours a day.

Unity happens with servant-style leadership. Reaching out, consulting and getting feedback all can be heard. Community accountability sessions will be reintroduced as part of my managerial style. Summerland needs openness, which means, in-camera meetings for employee and legal issues only. We may agree to disagree, but seek out common ground and build on it. Stop the divisive, intimidating council, promoting only their agenda. A Summerland first policy will unite us. Shalom.

and innovation as a result of our role in relationship building between the RCMP, Fisherman’s Union and First Nation peoples. This experience will be a valuable asset as the new mayor and council build bridges between the two sides of the ALR dispute. As mayor I will do my best to deliver fresh ideas, new employment and training opporutnities and sustainable and conscientious growth. Please visit www. rochformayor.ca for additional information on my campaign.

To prosper we must attract young people, families, seniors and businesses. This means having entry level lots for young people and families to build their homes on, more senior citizens housing complexes and a busy downtown core for business to thrive. I have management skills, budget administration experience and leadership abilities. I pledge to invest my energy, time and knowledge to be an effective mayor. For more information, refer to my website at www.orvrobson.com.

During my term, we finally resolved our water problems with the treatment plant and Thirsk Dam expansion. Downtown densification began with multi-storey buildings. More parks and trails were created during my term than any other council. I didn’t run in the last two elections, because I had other interests. I have be-

The urban growth strategy did not follow smart growth principle No.7 to protect and enhance agriculture. There is certainly no enhancement. There is a is the need to restore the importance of public committees. If the public felt that their opinions were respected by council, perhaps we would not have such a divided community.

Police are investigating an incident of vandalism after a business sign was altered with derogatory racist and sexist slurs. The incident was reported on Sunday when the Grasslands Nursery sign on Gartrell Road was defaced. “Hate motivated crimes are very concerning and the Summerland RCMP are taking this incident seriously,” said Cpl. Bruce Haley of the Summerland RCMP detachment. Toni Boot, owner of Grasslands Nursery, said this is the ﬁrst time the sign has been defaced. Haley said the last incident of similar slurs in Summerland was in the summer of 2013, when comments were spray-painted on fences along Solly Road. Anyone with information on the Grasslands Nursery sign vandalism is asked to contact the Summerland RCMP at 250-494-7416 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Heart beats for hockey Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Penticton Vees forward Liam Finlay celebrates his game-winning goal last saturday at the soec over the Victoria Grizzlies which pushed their unbeaten streak on home ice to five games.

Kristi Patton/Western news

Home sweet home for Vees Kristi Patton Western News Staff

Don’t be surprised to catch the Penticton Vees tapping the heels of their skates together Saturday because for them there truly is no place like home. The hockey wizards of the South Okanagan Events Centre are undefeated in five games on home ice this year. Daunting to all opposing teams? That’s exactly what the Vees hope for. “They are coming to our barn. This is our home and it should be a little bit intimidating,” said Vees leading point-scorer Tyson Jost, who recently filmed a TSN feature to air Nov. 4 on SportsCentre. “Our team also has to live up to those expectations.” Along with line mates Demico Hannoun and Lewis Zerter-Gossage, Jost is delivering on that notion. Thrown together in practice after a tough 5-0 loss to the Merritt Centennials in September, the trio have been inseparable. The only disagreement they have is who is the better ping pong player, Jost claims it’s him. Hannoun is riding a sevengame point streak at the beginning of this week, as is Jost. The pair smoothly brush those stats off. “I wasn’t really sure, but I knew our line was doing well,” said Jost. “We have lots of chemistry. Zerter has great speed and a wonderful shot and Hannoun is so smart and skilled with his

puck handling and passing. It opens up so much ice for us. We all just compliment each other.” Hannoun also shrugs off any talk of point streaks. It’s all about the end game for him. He releases a sly grin talking about how there is nothing more he would love han too keep that spotless record at home. On Saturday, the Vees face Hannoun’s former team, who just happen to be the Vees archrival Vernon Vipers. He knows all too well what it is like entering the SOEC trying to smash the Vees’ bricked up fortress of home wins they put together over the years on that ice surface. “I think teams love to try and beat us at our home rink, but we are always up to the challenge,” he said, breaking out that grin again. “We have a little bit of a target on our back, not too many teams like us in this league.” The building has been tough for teams to grab points out of since its been built. The Vees hover around a 0.800 winning percentage at home. “It’s a situation where other teams love to hate us and they come in with extra energy. It is the only way we get better though. We want the best teams with their A-game so at the end of the year we are combat-ready for what lies ahead.” Game time on Oct. 25 against the Vipers at the SOEC is 6 p.m.

Cameras were rolling and lights were shining bright, yet Harold Cox didn’t feel like a celebrity at the Oliver Arena Oct.1 for his first morning hockey game with friends. Cox, who was brought back to life thanks to the efforts of Marty Whiteman, Jeff Crowley, Bryan Coles, Doug Hume and Steve Arstad, following a heart attack on Jan.17, 2014 while playing hockey, did feel a little special as a film crew captured his return to the ice to produce a feature on him to be televised on Hockey Night in Canada. “There’s no question about it,” said Cox, who was contacted by The Mark company in August with interest of telling his story. “I felt like I was in a bubble with all the excitement going on. The reason I did it was mainly because defibrillators do save lives.” The TV crew also interviewed each of the five men. “That was interesting. It was kind of fun,” said Arstad. “A little bit daunting too.” Cox, 74, suffered the attack while skating back to the bench. “I just went to sleep and woke up. That was the way it went,” recalled Cox, who woke up in the hospital with his family by his side. What Arstad recalls from that day is that 10 minutes remained in the game when shouting was heard. The group wasted little time helping their friend as they checked his pulse then began CPR until the defibrillator was brought. Arstad said the machine had detected some electrical activity. “The very first zap it was like somebody had turned on a light switch,” said Arstad, adding that everything happened in about a six-minute span. “He was cold and grey. Within seconds the blood was colouring his face again. He coughed and began throwing up. We put him in a recovery position. The paramedics arrived shortly after. A real team effort in my opinion.” “At the time it was scary. Everything seemed to happen so quickly,” said Whiteman, who has played hockey with Cox for seven years. “He was clearly (unconscious) on the ice. When we de-

oLiVer rec HocKey PLayer Harold cox, who was saved by fellow players after having a heart attack while playing, is going to be featured on Hockey night in canada.

fibrillated him, you could see him come back to life and started to breathe again. It was so relieving.” Whiteman did have a helpless feeling as he wasn’t sure he was doing the right thing and had never used the machine before. “When you activate one of those things and it’s just like you see on TV. The whole body arches up,” he said. “There is a voice that tells you exactly what to do.” Since his incident, Cox has learned of three other people who have been saved by defibrillators. “The friends that I play hockey with, they are the ones that are the heroes,” said Cox, who had previous heart problems with clogs that were removed in surgery. When asked what it was like to see his friend back on the ice, Whiteman said it was neat, but hard to describe. “It was just really a good feeling. Maybe gratifying,” he said. Cox is described as a fun guy to be around. “We probably have as much or more fun in the dressing room as we do on the ice,” said Whiteman, who has known Cox for seven years after meeting him through hockey. He also possesses a sniper’s touch as Arstad said Cox shouldn’t

be left in front of the net. “He has still got the moves,” said Arstad, adding Cox has slowed down a bit. “I always noticed that about Harold. If he was anywhere near the net and the puck was on his stick, it’s in the net.” “Sometimes you get lucky,” said Cox. “These guys set me up all the time. I never played organized hockey to any great extent. It was always pick-up hockey when I was younger. I tried out for the UBC team one time. Didn’t make it.” Cox has also played against NHL old-timers such as Guy Lafleur. “Those guys when you play against them, even though they were past their prime, by a long ways, they were still five categories above us,” said Cox. “We thought we were pretty good in our youth, but when you play against those guys, they just fly steps above you.” Cox returned to the ice out of respect for his friends. He could see the elation in them. “I have no plans to stop playing hockey,” said Cox, who is feeling back to normal. “I had to buy a new pair of hockey pants. The other ones were cut right off.”

BMX looking to get on new track Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Bigger is better. That’s what the Penticton BMX Club aims to prove when it presents a proposal to the City of Penticton soon to relocate their track to Riverside Park. “We’re not too happy with where the track is. I fully believe and so does everybody else that is on the board, that if we move the track ... we would have 100 people plus instantly at that

track,” said club president Andrew Bayston. He added that with

a ﬁrst-class facility, racers from Kelowna would also come regu-

larly. With the current track at Lion’s Park being smaller, riders from Kelowna don’t feel it is competitive enough to make the trip. Building a BMX course double the size of the current one would also allow them to host national races. “Once you have that calibre of track, there is up to 1,000 riders plus family coming to town,” said Bayston, adding it will bring economic beneﬁts to the city during a slower time in late

September. Bayston added they are not asking for much money and have approached local businesses to donate to help build the track. “We want to relocate the track and build a ﬁrst-class track,” said Bayston. The club completed a successful season on Oct. 9. Its success was also in numbers as they doubled membership to 65-70 riders. For more info visit www.pentictonbmx.ca.

At the UBCO tournament they finished fifth out of nine teams and at the 16-team Thompson Rivers University tournament they made the consolation final. The team is first in the South Zone league with six wins and no losses. The Mustangs defeated the Pen High Lakers Grade 10 team twice in two straight sets as well as Oliver Secondary School once in straight sets. The team has had strong play and leadership from returning players Jivraj Grewal, Graedon Freeman, Reece Haberstock, Todd Corrie and Hunter Linder, who have been key to the Mustangs success. It has led to improved play from the younger, hardworking players like Nick Lozinski and Max Smeltzer. The Mustangs head off to a very competitive tournament in the Fraser Valley this weekend to face some of the top teams in British Columbia.

Heat fired up for playoffs Dale Boyd Western News Staff

The Penticton Under-14 field lacrosse team has their sights set on a championship after a monster season. Coming off two wins against Kamloops and Kelowna last weekend Penticton has guaranteed themselves first place. The exact spot they want to be with playoffs and championship games just around the corner. Penticton headed in to the second half against Kamloops last weekend with a 4-0 lead, but it slowly dissolved with Penticton hanging on for an 8-5 win. “Kamloops took advantage of some breakdowns of ours in the second half, but we were still strong enough to hold them off,” said coach Dan Chetner. The match up against Kelowna was much more one-sided. However, the game was tight for the first half, but was broken open in the second. leading to a 19-3 final. “They put up not a bad fight in the first half. The first half was much closer than the second,” said Chetner. “Then Kelowna kind of packed it in.” The playoff picture is now set for Penticton, which is now guaranteed to play Kelowna in the semi-final match. A team they feel confident in handling with the winner heading to the championship bout. “That semi-final game, our expectation is that it’s just a tune-up for the final,” Chetner said.

games of the season take place on Oct. 25 with Penticton playing North Okanagan in the morning and Kamloops in the afternoon. The games will act more like a dress rehearsal for the playoffs, however, being irrelevant towards the standings with the playoff picture already set. “It’s an opportunity to maybe try a couple of things in preparation for playoffs,” Chetner said. Chetner expects to meet Kamloops in the final, however the team

will be focusing inwards as far as the game plan goes. “We are a better team than Kamloops and so if we just worry about ourselves, we should have the advantage in any game,” said Chetner. “That being said they do have some strong individual players, and we need to be able to, as a team, play some good team defence.” Heading into the weekend with an 11-1 record, Chetner attributes the season-long

success of his team to team play and less focus on individual feats. “I would say our success is due to our players working hard to execute as a team. Which is more effective than individual play. That’s been our strength all year long, we’ve worked hard and improved our team play,” Chetner said. Penticton will be heading to the playoff tournament to play two games on Nov. 2 with their eyes on the league championship.

sports ACE YOUR MEDICATION ADHERENCE According to a March 2009 article from Statistics Canada, 13% of people over 65 take five or more medications daily. Sometimes these medications need to be taken twice, or even three times daily. Factor in the special instructions for certain medications (eg. take on an empty stomach) and it is easy to see how medication regimens can get complicated. Despite this, it is still very important to take your medications properly to help you stay as healthy as possible. A lot of people have trouble remembering to take their medications. Try matching your medication schedule to your daily routine. Take your morning pills when you brush your teeth and your evening ones with supper. Many people set an alarm on their watches or cell phones to remind them when pills need to be taken. If you have trouble remembering whether or not you have taken your medications, try using a pill organizer or having them blister packed by your pharmacist. Another reason some people do not take their medications properly is because they do not like the side effects. Ask your

#114 - 300 RIVERSIDE DRIVE 250-493-5533

pharmacist if the side effects will last. Some side effects go away after a few weeks or so. Your pharmacist can also provide suggestions on how to manage or reduce these side effects or can sometimes recommend an alternative medication that may be better tolerated. If your medication regimen is complicated, consider a medication review with your pharmacist who can inform you if any of your medications are available as combinations which makes adherence easier. Sometimes a medication may no longer be required. Your pharmacist can work with your physician to optimize your medication regimen. But remember, never stop taking a medication without speaking with your prescriber. Always be open and honest with your physician and pharmacist about any problems you have taking your medications. They want to help you benefit from them! Does this article sound like you? Come in to Riverside Pharmasave and let us help get you on track!

As the volleyball season heads past the halfway mark, the Pen High Lakers senior boys’ and girls’ teams are looking to finish strong. Both teams will have an opportunity to go up against some of the best in the region as they host the Lakers Halloween Invitational tournament Oct. 24-25. Teams attending the tournament include Westside, Rutland, Mt. Sentinel, Vernon, West Van, Princess Margaret and Mt. Boucherie. Mt. Sentinel’s senior girls’ squad are the favourites entering the tournament and are one of the biggest contenders, being ranked PATIO COVERS & CARPORTS

No. 2 in the province in the A division. The Lakers will also face tough opponents in Mt. Boucherie, ranked No. 10 in the AAAA division, and Princess Margaret, who is ranked eighth in AA. The Lakers senior girls’ squad has been sitting at .500 for most of the season, struggling to make up the age gap with only four Grade 12 players, according to head coach Bo Boxall. “Overall we’re a very young team,” Boxall said. “This whole year has been a lot about development and trying to make ourselves as competitive as we can, for the coming years especially.” Boxall said that getting a good first touch will be essential to setting up a rally, and crucial for the team’s success moving forward.

“We’re really trying to work on our servicing and making sure that every rally starts with a good pass so that we’re in a good position to utilize all of our finishers and get as many kills as we can,” Boxall said. The Lakers senior boys’ are sitting around the same middleof-the-road .500 mark as the girls ‘squad, coming off of four wins and two losses during their trip to Kelowna Secondary School last weekend. “Overall pretty happy with that. We’re playing good defence, we’re passing really well, still having a little trouble finishing, but we’re getting better each weekend,” said Rob Gunning, head coach of the senior boys team.

for more wins

Among the losses last weekend was MEI, one of the best teams playing in the province right now, the other loss was to Princess Margaret, which is ranked sixth in AA. The boys finished 15th in a 40-team tournament, a result that sits well with coach Gunning. As of the Oct. 21 standings, Penticton is sitting at eighth in the AAA division, with Earl Marriot holding the No.1 spot. The focus for Gunning’s squad heading into the

weekend will be consistency as well as finishing off rallies. The return of Grade 12 striker Brayden Wheeler for the tournament should help bolster the Lakers attack heading into a tough weekend. “We’ll just look to continue playing good defence, continue to pass well, serve a little tougher and attack a little better. If we can do those things then I like our chances,” Gunning said. All games this weekend are at Pen High.

A little more than 14 years ago, on April 1, 2001, the Cannery Brewing Company brewed their first batch of beer. “It seemed like an auspicious day to brew our first batch,” said Patt Dyck, co-owner of the craft brewery. This week, Cannery Brewing brewed their 1,555th batch, and celebrated another important milestone, breaking ground on their new location on Ellis Street. “We have come a long way in the last 14 years,” said Dyck, adding that they have expanded as much as they can in their current location. “As we adore our current location in the Cannery Trade Centre, we have simply outgrown our space there. We are building a new brewery that will be larger and better suited to our needs and we are thrilled to be moving downtown.” Dyck said they hope to have be brewing in the new location early in 2015. She said they will always look back on the Cannery building as their roots. Jill Bateman, spokesperson for the Trade Centre, said they will miss the Cannery Brewing crew, but the building, which houses many artisanal enterprises, will continue on. “It’s going to be sad, but we still have a Cannery without the brewery,” said Bateman. Dyck said they will hold on to their trademark name. “Another thing that will not

change is our commitment to brewing quality craft beer to make us and Penticton proud,” said Dyck. At the groundbreaking ceremony, Dyck enthused over the structural elements of the building at 383 Ellis St. which will be the brewery’s new home. “This building, which was previously ANJ Automotive services, has, as our architect says, great bones,” she said. “It was not for very many years that they were doing brick work like you can see at the front, and you can see some of the old windows, that although they are dirty along the top, are that ancient glass that was only made for a few short years.” The brewing area will be

contained in a purpose-built addition to the structure, while the garage area will become the new tasting room. “We just think it is such a funky space and are delighted to have it,” said Dyck, pointing out the high wood ceilings and the large garage doors. “Plus, we will expand to have a more robust food menu than we can currently offer. In our new space, you will be able to enjoy our beer alongside really great local food selections. We are again, in this area, blessed with those things,” said Dyck. Kerri Milton, executive director of the DPA, said having another brewery downtown will do great things for the area, especially Ellis Street, which has

long been earmarked to develop into Penticton’s cultural corridor. “It really does add to the revitalization of our downtown. It will bring more people, more reason to come,” said Milton. Martin Lewis of recentlyopened Bad Tattoo Brewery was also on hand to raise a glass and offer his congratulations. Like Milton, he sees the addition of another downtown brewery as a positive step. “Bad tattoo is thrilled to have the Cannery move downtown. We love the fact that it just creates more synergy for craft brewing in Penticton and more choices for people to come within walking distance and try the beers,” he said.

I followed closely like an eager salesman, telling him about the car’s finer standard features, its fuel economy (8.7/5.4 L/100kms city/highway), its ability to hit 100 klicks in 7.5 seconds. Maybe that last fact was a bit insensitive, given the nature of the beast before me. He remained silent throughout. ‘What is a donkey doing among all of these horses,’ I thought aloud. He turned, gave me a withering look before shambling away and replied: “Technically, they are ponies – short horses – and having a short ass like me around makes them feel superior.” Smart ass.

Nissan Leaf is no glorified golf cart

Bob McHugh

’’

The Nissan Leaf relies solely on electric power for propulsion and was the first mass production EV (electric vehicle) sold in North America. No glorified golf cart here, the Leaf can seat up to five adults and has more than enough power to be driven a highway speeds ... just like a normal car. When Leaf was released as a 2011 model year vehicle Nissan already had pre-sale orders for its entire first-year production run of 20,000 units. Based on a stretched version of Nissan’s B-platform, Leaf uses a low-slung LithiumIon battery pack to store its electrical energy and it’s located near the centre of the vehicle, under the floor. In addition to ample rear cargo space, the battery position also helps make the Leaf more stable and more nimble than other EV’s. It’s a unique air-cooled flat design of battery pack with four cells and 48 laminated modules. It weighs about 250 kg (600 lbs.) and came with an eight-year/160,000 km warranty. An 80kW AC synchronous electric motor drives the Leaf’s front wheels. It can generate 107 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. Leaf has a rated driving range of 160 kilometres on a single charge, but it’s capable of going longer distances if the conditions are right and the driver conserves power. The battery pack can be charged up to 80 per cent

A level two (typical home unit) charger hooked up to a 240V outlet can do a full charge in less than eight hours. The portable (level 1) charger can be used to top-up power and connects to any (110-volt) electrical outlet. The charger port is hidden behind a small door up front. The ultra quiet Leaf has a speaker near the front of the vehicle that makes a humming sound, at low vehicle speeds, to alert pedestrians to its presence. Like all electric motors, full power is available immediately. The (regenerative) brake pedal feel is a little different and the lack of telescopic steering column may put-off some buyers. The 2012 Nissan Leaf was essentially unchanged, however, the 2013 model year brought a bunch of technology upgrades and a new lower-priced base S trim level. An upgraded 6.6KW onboard charger is capable of reducing level 2 charge time (with 30-amp service) to under four hours. This Leaf also comes with an improved energy management and regenerative braking systems, a more efficient heater and improved aerodynamics. Although the Leaf has consistently received a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the 2013 edition got a ‘poor’ rating in a new (and tougher to pass) small overlap frontal crash test. This test is designed to replicate what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with another vehicle or a fixed object like a tree or utility pole, at 64 kilometres per hour (40 mph). While saving money on fuel is great, most Leaf owners are more concerned about the environment and our dependency on oil. So far, general reliability appears to be very good and EV maintenance costs are typically lower than a gas engine vehicle. Limited availability on the used car market is not too surpris-

Evelyn was a very sweet lady and a caring and loving mom, gramma, granny and granny-great. She was predeceased by her husband, Henry, in 2011 and is survived by her kids, Ed (Jane) of Vanderhoof, Henry (Debbie) of Burns Lake, Michelle of Aldergrove and Colette (Dave) of Penticton. She will also be missed by her sister, Babe Hanasyk of Edmonton, 11 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren. Evelyn lived a full life of experiences in the Yukon and northern BC. In her retirement years, she and Henry spent many winters in Arizona before settling in Penticton. Camping, gardening and cooking were some of her favourite things. Christmas with her family was very special to her. She was a huge cheerleader at her kids and grandkids sporting events. A family memorial will be held at a later date. A special thank you to all the caring staff at the Moog Hospice House and Dr. Pugachev and Dr. Dyck. In lieu of flowers, donations can be can be made to your local SPCA.
