LEST WE FORGET — War veterans Rosalie Ashdown and Bob Fitzsimonds, both 93, are urging people to get their poppies and take part in this year’s Remembrance Day services in their communities on Nov. 11. Last month’s killing of two Canadian Armed Forces members in Ontario and Quebec has had a significant impact on the public’s appreciation of the role of military personnel.

Jail guards should work shorter shifts and police should be better trained to recognize the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal, according to some of the recommendations produced by the jury at a coroner’s inquest in Penticton. Fourteen recommendations drafted by the five-member panel are aimed at stopping someone else from dying in the same manner as Steven Joseph Scott, who choked on his own vomit while in custody at the Penticton RCMP detachment on Aug. 10, 2012. His death was ruled an accident with alcohol withdrawal as a contributing factor. Scott’s sister told reporters after the hearing Wednesday she’s not sure justice has been done yet. “I think still that somebody should be held criminally responsible, but as for the actual inquest, I’m satisfied,” said Candace Sabo Derksen. The inquest heard Scott, who was arrested while severely intoxicated and causing a disturbance outside a Penticton home, lay dead in his cell for eight hours, despite regular checks that civilian jail guards and the RCMP watch commander on duty at the time said they had completed. Outside investigators from the Saanich Police Department later recommended charges of failing to provide the necessities of life against one guard and one RCMP officer. However, the Crown didn’t proceed because the evidence didn’t support “a substantial likelihood of conviction,” the B.C. Criminal Justice Branch said in 2013. Inquest jurors made six recommendations to all B.C. police agencies, including shortening jail guards’ 12-hour shifts and ensuring those working with prisoners can tell when someone is withdrawing from

alcohol and requires medical treatment. Another seven recommendations were directed at the City of Penticton and Penticton RCMP, such as upgrading video cameras in jail cells and replacing guards with fully-trained correctional officers. Penticton RCMP Supt. Kevin Hewco said some changes, like better lighting in the cell block and changing policy to require more frequent physical checks of prisoners, were made shortly after the incident. Other recommendations, he said, will need to be costed and presented to city council and RCMP bosses to decide upon as soon as possible. “We take these situations seriously. We feel for the family,” said Hewco, who assumed command in Penticton a year after Scott’s death. “A tragedy like that is a loss to the entire community, including our people here.” One final recommendation was aimed at the B.C. Ministry of Health, which was urged to consider establishing an alcohol detox facility in the South Okanagan. Penticton Mayor Garry Litke was pleased with that suggestion. “This is an issue we’ve been dealing with for a very long time, where issues of mental illness or alcohol addiction continue to fall to the jurisdiction of local governments and RCMP,” he said. Tests conducted on samples of bodily fluids taken from Scott during an autopsy determined he still had a blood-alcohol level of approximately 40 milligrams per 100 millilitres — about half the legal limit for drivers — when he died 18 hours after being taken into custody. The inquest also heard that in March 2012, Scott was placed on a ventilator in the intensive care unit at Penticton Regional Hospital after being taken to the facility with a blood-alcohol level eight times the legal limit.

Share a smile with OSNS telethon Mark Brett

Western News Staff

Liam Madill was just 18 months old when his family began noticing disturbing and worsening behaviour problems. “You couldn’t imagine what a day was like. I was in survival mode trying to contain the chaos. He just went from one tantrum to the next,” recalled his mother Melanie. “Liam couldn’t go from playing with one toy to another without having a complete meltdown, screaming, crying, throwing himself on the floor because he couldn’t communicate.” A medical assessment determined Liam suffered from autism. “I think when you’re in the throes of it it’s hard to see and I think you love your kids so much you’re just in the day-to-day. You can’t see the forest for the trees,” said Madill. “I was upset at first because it was just one more thing and I guess I just wanted him to be my stubborn little boy.” About a year later she began taking her son to the OSNS Child Development Centre, where he continues to receive help. And according to mom the changes in Liam, who is now five, were incredible. “I used to avoid like the plague taking Liam anywhere because it always ended up in chaos, and now he is in kindergarten, he can go anywhere, do anything, he loves people. He’s just a bundle of joy and he’s happy.” she said. “Oh my

goodness if the centre had not been there we’d still be at square one. “They’re (staff) so caring, they focus on the things he needs in an environment with people he loves and trusts.” Madill is just one of the family members who is sharing their success stories on the Nov. 9 Shaw

“They’ve been amazing for me too,” she said. “If I’m having trouble, there’s always somebody there to help, to talk you off the ledge so to speak. Now my whole family have our lives back.” OSNS executive director Manisha Willms added that support for clients is a key component of the help available. “It’s so difficult those first years after a child is diagnosed with a difficulty, especially when your little ones are so young,” said Willms, who noted proceeds from the telethon literally keep the centre doors open. “We want to be is a place where families can come and cry and laugh and rage and do whatever they need to do in the course of learning about their child and how to advocate for them.” Last year’s event raised about $42,000 to cover related costs of assisting over 300 families in the South Okanagan-Similkameen. The centre also provides programs for children who have physical issues, and one of the goals this year is to raise money specifically for a paediatric climbing wall for the physio room. Online bidding for the raffle items begins Nov. 7 on the website running through Sunday. This year Willms is also encouraging people to donate their time to assist with ongoing projects.

Mayoral candidates square off in Western News debate Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

When it comes to choosing who to vote into office, it can sometimes be hard to tell one candidate from another. Questions, especially “motherhood” issues, often result in answers couched in language appealing to as many voters as possible. But get the candidates into a debate, and soon enough, the cracks begin to show. That’s just what the Western News did this week. Taking the mayoral candidates out of the standard forum format, we gave a panel of community leaders and a pair of our reporters the chance to put their questions directly to John Vassilaki, Jukka Laurio and Andrew Jakubeit. And we gave each of them the chance to challenge the positions taken by their peers. Things started to heat up, when Donna Verbeek, representing the city’s seniors, asked about affordable housing and easier access to facilities like the Penticton Regional Hospital. Vassilaki soon found himself defending his position that the city should be giving land to groups that will build affordable housing. “I believe we have to donate

land, which the city has a lot of, to a non-profit group for a dollar, where along with the city of Penticton, provincial and federal governments they can get financing to build those affordable places,” said Vassilaki. Laurio agreed the city needs more affordable housing, but not by giving away land, though he supported the idea of partnering with groups but only if the city could expect a return on the land it invested.

“I am not into the idea of giving anything away,” he said, explaining that the city could partially participate in such projects as a silent partner, with a return on the land invested. Jakubeit said affordable housing is part of his platform, but that council didn’t have a good track record of dealing with the concept. “It has come to council, but then we realize this is a bigger issue than

the half hour we have slotted for it and we have never really been able to take action on a larger scale,” said Jakubeit, who also suggested that as a wealthy successful businessman, Vassilaki didn’t really understand problems faced by seniors on fixed incomes, though he identified himself with that demographic. Vassilaki defended his position, suggesting that if the city didn’t make a significant investment, pro-

vincial and federal governments would not get into a cost-sharing project before refuting Jakubeit’s comment. “We weren’t always as well off as we are today,” said Vassilaki, telling of how his family arrived in Canada with all their possessions in four suitcases. “We were very poor, my parents had to work three different jobs per day in order to make ends meet,” said Vassilaki. “How can I feel the way I feel about people. I went through what they went through.” After a question from Mike Magnusson of JCI Penticton, who wanted to know how the candidates would draw new business to the city, Vassilaki again found himself on the defence, this time for a decision made during the budget process last year. “We need to put our money where our mouth is and fund economic development programs, which didn’t quite happen last development cycle,” said Jakubeit, pointing out that he had championed adding $100,000 to the economic development budget, only one other councillor was willing to vote it into the budget.

Remembrance Day a time to reflect Mark Brett Western News

The killing of two Canadian soldiers on home soil in late October resulted in an outpouring of public support for current armed forces personnel and veterans as Remembrance Day approaches. Rosalie Ashdown, 93, a member of the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War, experienced just how much people care while collecting donations for poppies earlier

this week. “I think those men who died were really a wake-up call for a lot of people, and it just seemed like everybody wanted to stop and say something and they were more generous than usual. I’m telling you they were just throwing the money in there,” said Ashdown, a long-time member of the Penticton Naval Veterans Association, who served as a wardroom attendant at bases in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland in the war years. “It’s too

bad, but I think that sort of smartened people up here, they seem to feel that in Canada you’re safe but this shows that’s not the case.” On Oct. 21, Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, a veteran of 28 years, died from injuries he suffered after he and another armed forces member were struck by a vehicle the day before. Then, just two days later in a another high profile tragedy, Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was murdered by a lone

gunman while on guard at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. Although the two deaths were not attributed to a specific group, because the victims were targeted as military, the killings were labelled as acts of terrorism. Both men responsible for the deaths were later shot by authorities and died. Murray Grandy, president of the Penticton branch of the Royal Canadian Legion has also noticed a change in people’s attitudes.

“The poppy drive is going considerably well because of what happened. We’ve heard a lot of stories, some people put in a $100 bill and some 20’s,” he said. “I believe it probably is a loss of innocence for Canada because we’re not as far away from all this stuff as people think. “I think people should remember even more what the veterans did and are still doing, even more since what happened in Ottawa and Quebec a few weeks ago. We should never forget.” Cirillo and Vincent will be front and centre at this year’s Nov. 11 Remembrance Day services throughout the country, including Penticton. “Yes, what happened to those soldiers has made a difference in our lives and we’re acknowledging them in our ceremony,” said Grade 11 student Belle Grant, who is helping organize the Princess Margaret Secondary School service on Nov. 10. “The day (of Cirillo’s death) we were in social studies class and it was just what we were talking about. It just keeps happening and it shouldn’t, we were just so shocked and confused that it could happen. “It was all over social media and it was very real and it brings it a little closer to home about the world would not be what it is today without the sacrifices our troops and soldiers have made.” Because hostile deaths of military per-

Questions fired at candidates From MAYORS on PG.3 “I am just curious if this is something we are saying for the sake of being in an election cycle or will we ever be able to take action?” Vassilaki countered that he didn’t vote in favour of the budget addition because the economic development officer didn’t want the extra money. “She had no place to spend it. So why take money away from the taxpayers, when the person that is supposed to be using it, doesn’t want it?” asked Vassilaki. “We don’t have the personnel to give them an extra $100,000 to go out there and get the work done in the community.” Debate again became heated between Vassilaki and Jakubeit when Leigh Follestad of the Downtown Penticton Association raised the issue of conflict of interest. Recently, Vassilaki was under fire when he didn’t recuse himself before a vote giving a permissive tax exemption to a property he owns. Despite the large amount of property and businesses owned by himself and other members of his family, Vassilaki, who owns the Last Call Liquor Mart, contends that the only time he has a personal conflict of interest is if it has to do with liquor regulations. In the case of tax exemptions for Cheers Church and the Legion building, Vassilaki was quick to point out that it was the leaseholders who applied for and got the benefit of the permissive tax exemption. “I just voted for the Legion as I always did.

mous, it wasn’t as if it was close and they were going to lose,” he said, turning the question back to Jakubeit. “Many occasions he hasn’t stepped out when it comes to hockey. He’s on a board of a hockey association that always comes and asks for money. He has the benefit that the organization gets the money.” Jakubeit pointed out that he is no longer involved in local minor hockey, though he does sit on a provincial board. These are only a few of the issues debated during the 75 minute forum, which includes questions about downtown revitalization, transit, fiscal responsibility, city staff, and more from the panel, which included: Frank

WHAT EXACTLY IS PLANTAR FASCIITIS? Most people have heard of this condition affecting the foot, but not everyone knows exactly what it is, why they have it or what they can do about it. To have a good understanding of plantar fasciitis we first have to learn about the plantar fascia. It is a strong, fibrous band that begins at the heel bone and extends the length of the foot to connect with the toes at the ball of the foot. It is relatively inflexible and it functions to support the arch of the foot. Plantar fasciitis refers to inflammation of the plantar fascia. Repetitive movements such as walking or running stretch the plantar fascia and, because it is not very flexible, this stretching can result in small tears which leads to inflammation and pain. Shortening of the fascia overnight due to ankle bending can also cause pain when it is stretched upon standing in the morning. Other common causes include excessive weight load on the foot due to obesity or prolonged standing, tight calf muscles,

Investigators are still trying to determine the events leading to the death of a local man whose vehicle plunged into a lake near Penticton. Thomas Viji Santosham, 74, died Oct. 31 when his SUV left the road around 6:30 a.m. and rolled into Farleigh Lake, according to a press release issued this week by the B.C. Coroners Service. “Shortly after 8 a.m., a neighbour spotted the vehicle in the water and called 911. Mr. Santosham was recovered, deceased, from the lake by the RCMP Dive Team later in the day,” the release said. His family has requested privacy, according to the statement, which also noted coroners and police are still investigating. Santosham lived on an acreage at Farleigh Lake, about 12 kilometres west of the city off of Green Mountain Road, according to an obituary posted online. Born in India, he later earned a PhD in mechanical engineering from the University of B.C. and travelled widely before retiring from his job with the B.C. government. He then began a new career as a part-time instructor of global marketing at Okanagan College. He left behind a wife, two children and four grandchildren. Besides singing with the Tune-Agers Choir and Orchestra, Santosham was also an active member of the St. Saviour’s Anglican Church and the Order of St. Luke’s. A service to celebrate Santosham’s life is scheduled to be held at St. Saviour’s Anglican Church on

wearing shoes with poor support, a sudden increase in body weight (eg. pregnancy) or a sudden increase in walking or running. The pain associated with plantar fasciitis is described as a hot, sharp sensation in the heel; it is usually worse in the morning and lessens after a period of walking. Mostly plantar fasciitis is managed with non-drug treatments which include icing, inserting custom-made orthotics into your shoes, massaging the bottom of the foot, wearing shoes with good arch support, stretching the calf muscles and wearing a night splint to prevent shortening of the fascia overnight. Losing weight, if it is a factor, can reduce the stress placed on the plantar fascia. If necessary, antiinflammatories can be taken to manage pain and swelling (check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting any drug therapy). Your physician may also decide to administer a steroid injection to reduce the inflammation.

EDITORIAL Fear can spread like a deadly disease Ebola isn’t likely to be the world-ending pandemic doomsayers have been predicting since at least the 1960s — or longer, if you happen to be a fan of Nostradamus. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have the potential to be, nor should governments be chided for taking measures to limit the spread of the disease. Canada has lately come under fire from human rights organizations for restricting travel from the worst-affected African countries, where the deadly disease has already taken thousands of lives. We don’t want to add to the fear-mongering surrounding Ebola, but neither should its deadliness be set aside, or its potential to spread through the population if measures aren’t taken. People now look back on the Y2K crisis, calling it a fizzle, or worse, a hoax. “There wasn’t a computer meltdown, nothing happened,” is a common complaint. Truth is, a lot happened. A lot of hard work was done leading up to the 2000 to update software and fix mission-critical hardware, so yes, the planes didn’t fall out of the sky on Jan. 1, 2000. Ebola needs to be dealt with the same way. Taking measures now like quarantines and limiting travel prevents a bigger problem later. Considering its long incubation period and the short time it takes to kill its host, Ebola is unlikely to get a foothold — but the danger of a pandemic can’t be set aside. SARS, hantavirus, Rift Valley fever, even the ancient black plague have all presented the possibility of a pandemic at one time or another. But we don’t need to look to exotic diseases. Even influenza, the flu that we PENTICTON WESTERN deal with on a yearly basis has proven potential to spread out of control — the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic killed up to 100 million people around the world. So while world governments do what they can to prevent the spread of Ebola and end that crisis, you can do your own bit to prevent the spread of a different deadly disease by getting your annual flu shot.

Lingering effects of random acts of kindness Sitting on a curb crying, I looked up when a man tapped me on the shoulder asking if I was OK. Through my gasping sobs, he somehow deciphered I was lost. A 10-year-old in Vancouver who talked my parental unit into allowing me to walk straight down the street a few blocks to the store that is in eye’s view and walk back. What I didn’t lay out on my expedition was that store had two doors. Elated that I was allowed to venture alone in this big, cool city, I neglected to see that second door that led to another street. Another street that looks pretty darn similar to the one I came off of. The man walked me to a police station that was just a block over and sat with me talking about Vancouver while they contacted my family to pick me up. The slushy that I bought at the store had melted, but so had my tears, all that remains is the memory of that man helping me out when I am sure 20 other people walked right on by. It’s amazing how much a little thing like that can have an impact on you in adulthood. Those 15 minutes I was lost in the big city stick with me today. Just ask anyone who has ever taken a road trip with me driving. The second I get off course panic sets in and I become a hot mess. OK, not the crying bit but I for sure have mini anxiety attacks about completely getting lost when I am the one tasked with getting to a destination. Put me in the passenger seat and it is just another carefree adven-

ture. Take for instance the time my boyfriend and I rented a car in Cuba and fell off the beaten track and traded wide armed gestures and quizzical looks with the locals trying to decipher what advice was being offered. Then getting pulled over by the police for reasons we still don’t understand today and paying them a ﬁver to leave, it was all chalked up to a good story. So when I went to Moscow for the day, enroute home from Sochi where I spent almost six weeks working during the Olympics, I was again in awe of this big, cool city. I’m not sure if it was the wide-eyed look I had as rush hour began as I hit the train station and millions of Muscovites were headed out to their work day, or the obvious tourist signals I gave with a 50-pound backpack, roller luggage and a Sochi dufﬂe bag awkwardly slung around my shoulders that gave me away. Or, maybe it was the massive lineup I managed to get all that gear through to purchase a ticket and my inability to communicate with the toll booth worker what it was I wanted. Pointing at things does no

good when the only words in Russian you confidently know are spasiba (thank you), nasdrovia (cheers), privet (hello) and dosvedanya (good night). I was definitely a tourist. And, one who was lost. Panic began to set in. I was taken back to 10-yearold me in Vancouver. I leaned against a wall out of the way of the bustling foot traffic of one of the world’s busiest metro systems to catch my breath and have an epiphany. I am in the driver’s seat on this trip and took Tom Hank’s advice: “there is no crying in baseball (Moscow).” While I checked myself well before the waterworks were near, I pulled out my crude sheet of train destinations in Cyrillic to English translation and trudged on. I confidently walked through the crowd managing my luggage down the steep, long escalator and on to a train. I continued my newfound confidence at my next stop to change tracks enough so that I even took in the beautiful marble architecture of the metro stations. That is until I couldn’t find the next escalator. Instead, an ominous mountain of stairs faced me and my increasingly heavier luggage. I attempted the first couple of steps only for the sheer weight of it pulling me back to the ground level. Now what? As I was pondering what to do and anxiety slowly started to build as people jutted around me, I felt a tap on my shoulder. A man dressed cleanly in a suit, overcoat and carrying a briefcase said, “Hello, can you please let me help you?” Taken aback that he spoke English, I

had no issue when he grabbed my roller luggage and offered to take one of my other bags. I laughed and said I think you might have second thoughts on the other bag once you try lifting that one. I could tell by the strain on his face, he was also thankful I didn’t pass over another bag to him. He graciously carried the bag packed tight with clothes, my hockey skates and six weeks worth of other stuff up the giant staircase. When we got to the top he asked where I was going and said he would walk me to the proper platform. He told me how he had been to Canada once before and loved the people. I replied much the same about his country and the people I had connected with. That little bit of brevity in the moment of being lost, alone and not knowing exactly what I was going to do next put me at ease. While some of the best random acts of kindness are anonymous, mine had faces. I never got the full names, and the chance of them reading this is next to impossible, but I can’t thank those two men enough. They made an impact on me and changed my day. Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day in the South Okanagan, and whether you buy someone a coffee in line behind you, simply say something nice to a stranger or tap someone on the shoulder and offer your assistance, know that little gesture will most likely make their day and, if like me, will stick with them for a lifetime.

Highway of Tears to Heroes The forgotten didn’t see the hearse or hear its wheel across the pavement in the process of getting a body to its final resting place. The forgotten do not remember the momentary — the shock but not the purpose of a soldier, a man, a woman, father, a mother, a husband or a lover. It is as if no one wants to remember except for the one that does, who stands and still holds the cup of water in his/her hands. The forgotten do not wish to remain forgotten in the one, but fight for voice to be recognized. In the one who cannot sleep; the one that stands guard on the hearts of many a household; the one that seeks solace in the tears that drop quietly from his or her face.

Alan Whitman misguided

In the election for director for RDOS Area D, candidate Alan Whitman has made the major platform of his campaign to stop incorporation. What Mr. Whitman fails to understand is that incorporation is a democratic process guided by the principles that it be locally initiated and focused, that the decision to incorporate must be made by the electorate through a referendum and that the vote should be made by an informed electorate. What Director Tom Siddon (and his predecessor, Bill Schwarz) is asking of the government is a study to compare the services and costs of incorporation with those of the unincorporated area as it presently exists. A number of citizens, including myself, from Okanagan Falls and neighbouring communities participated in an incorporation committee whose task was to present the community with an opportunity to examine the pros and cons of incorporation. During the better part of two years, the members acquired a good understanding of the process of incorporation. After that time and work, I can honestly say that I do not know whether or not I favour incorporation, however, I do want the right to make an informed decision based on the study, which Director Siddon is seeking, and to chose the option whether to incorporate or not. In his misguided campaign “to stop incorporation,” Mr. Whitman would take this choice away. Bob Daly Okanagan Falls

Deer taking over

What to do about our domesticated deer population? They are born and grow up in our backyards and even those of us that resent this invasion have to admit there is nothing cuter than a fawn. There are others of us that hold to their truth that the deer have as much right to be here as we do, maybe more and that is not an argument, only the practicality of them liv-

The one that will be forgotten except for the voice of others to speak. The one, another, and another who will not forget the one that loved them, comforted them, cradled them. And what of the solider(s) who have guarded thus with their heart? They will not be forgotten. The one, the two, the three will see to that. A country, my country, holds its breath against the sky of their deaths, and cries out inside and out for their loss. And so, down the Highway of Tears to Heroes, the hearse goes for the ones that know and decided to guard anyway the route of the many, freedom for us and so it goes. That heavy moment that burden to lay down to its final resting place when all hearts have turned and not forgotten what it means to sacrifice extremely beyond what the one could do for another

ing on our streets is at issue. Wildlife is just that. There would be no question if said animal was a bear of a cougar that was walking on our streets. Even the most ardent animal lover believes this, but then what is really the difference between any of these animals, they are all capable of violence when they or their young are threatened and therefore put us all at risk. This problem will not go away, we are not dealing with Canada Geese here. ICBC cannot help us with putting up a fence like they did in Banff, not very practical. The reality of this situation can only be recognized by the mortality of our deer friends. I have witnessed deer being chased down by dogs and cars running into them on a regular basis. Almost all the deer in our neighbourhoods have lacerations, hide missing or broken bones on various parts of their body. We would not tolerate it if this was happening to our pets, why then do we allow this carnage to escalate while doing nothing but talk about what to do. Is it the cost, is it having to defend our position against those who see the deer as only another natural beauty but fail to see that these animals in actuality are being abused by our apathy and lack of fruitful decision making. There is in all likelihood 200-300 deer in the city limits, maybe more and these figures will grow exponentially over the years until it becomes impossible and deadly. People, it’s a small matter that they destroy our cedars, gardens, flowers and shrubs, but these things are incidental compared to the pain and suffering these animals go through all the time. When this town was young, a deer found wandering the streets would be up in someone’s garbage before nightfall, now we let them roam unhindered to breed like rabbits. Ask the city workers how many bodies they have had to dispose of from our streets or call the wildlife officers and ask how many they have had to put down because of injury from threatening behaviours. The abuse on our deer population is being perpetuated by the “Bambi Syndrome.” Those that would prefer this to continue should have a talk with

and another. How difficult it is to see past the forgotten and to know them not. To not know how they fought for the life they then could not live. And so it goes? The ones and the forgotten know what it means, and yet they do ache in consciousness to say to us to continue the fight. Fight for justice and liberty in the land. Do more than stand and watch me pass by. Do not live a life that was not betrayed by us. We gave you your heart back. Guard it. Breathe in the air and chase your dreams, but remember the forgotten. Guard your heart as we guard the land. You were not outside our hearts when we, the forgotten, guarded you. Hold us there in your heart; hold us there. Wendy Tarasoff Penticton

the real eco-people who loath to see animals in distress. This is no longer their natural habitat, just one we have allowed to exist through inaction. We have had as many as a dozen deer in our backyard and we live downtown. Someone must come up with a solution and city council will have to be that someone. One day, a child, senior with be killed or maimed. Do we want to wait for this to happen because it is inevitable. Will the unfortunate belong to your family? Brad Hill Penticton

Theories are toxic drivel

It seems that conspiracy theories never go out of style. Their popularity stems from an all-too-natural desire to make explicable events that seem to have no explanation. Often, to borrow a phrase from Theodor Adorno, these conspiracy theories become little more than a “rumour about the Jews.” Thus, the pages of the Penticton Western News recently showcased a meeting of minds of two letter-writers, Rolf Loth and William Smith. Mr. Loth believes that the Western World is under the control of “Talmudic psychopaths” and that poor Mr. Hitler was duped into starting the Second World War by Churchill and his “Zionist friends.” Mr. Smith agrees and applauds him for his “boldness and objectivity.” It no longer surprises me that some people continue to believe (and take a perverse comfort) in the notion of a Jewish global conspiracy, but I confess to being startled that a reputable newspaper would expose its readers to such toxic drivel.

Successful Halloween

My wife, Lisa, and I want to give a huge shout out of thanks to all of you at the Western News for another successful Halloween at our haunted house.

It is thanks to the media coverage that we grow year after year and give some serious dollars and food to charity. There are some more to thank, of course as there always are. This list is not too long but, important none the less. Thanks very much to our understanding and appreciative neighbours that giggle a little bit every time they hear the chainsaws and screams and to all of the actors and spooks, without them we can’t scare anybody. Thanks to London Drugs for providing the candy at cost, to the Penticton Speedway and Underwriters Insurance for the use of the hearse to transport all the ghosts and ghouls. Erik Laflamme Penticton

To vote, or not to vote, is that the question? How do civic elections inspire people to vote you might ask? Just look at the 2011 results here in Penticton and you may arrive at the following conclusions as well. It seems that with 25,000+/- registered voters that about 8,700 or 33.5 per cent decided the fate of the taxpayers in this city.

Really, one person in three decided as to the direction of governmental trends for the ensuing three years. Now, with four-year terms we face an even more serious challenge. The extra year of in -place elected officials, good, bad or indifferent is a reality. Why the change, no one seems

to really know as nothing was said to voters. It just is! With that in mind, and voter apathy being what it seems to be, ask yourself this question: “If I didn’t vote last time and tolerated the boondoggles as such by the present city council for three years, if I don’t vote this time, am I prepared to put up

with much of the same for four years?” A little scary isn’t it? Let’s look at some possible reasons as to why there is apathy in municipal elections. One only has to look at the election modes in Canada. Voting in municipal elections tends to be complicated. In federal and provincial elections you vote for one person, but municipally you vote for many positions. Municipal voting requires more knowledge. Increased alienation and disconnection means some people do not have strong networks to provide them with information and

validation in deciding who to vote for, nor important cues to encourage them to vote. Sometimes the attitude taken by would-be voters is such that the feeling of what difference does it make, they are all the same in the end, seems to prevail. Sad but true! Some people have not developed a habit of voting or the sense of duty to vote, and little support and few systems are in place to change that. Many should-be voters seem to have low internal political efficacy believing that their single vote will not make a difference.

The best choice for mayor

Calgary on WestJet. We negotiated a new deal with Global Spectrum to operate the SOEC that will save us hundreds of thousands of dollars. And we secured labour peace with two unions to keep costs under control and still provide fair wages to workers. And all of this happened while limiting property tax increases to an average of less than 1 per cent per year. Some in our city and even around the council table, who unfortunately find any excuse to say “no”, fought these accomplishments every step of the way. Our community succeeded despite them. I believe this success was the result of forward thinking, professional leadership on council and at city hall. I firmly believe Andrew is the candidate who will continue this leadership as mayor. Simply put we have come too far to turn back now. Will you turn our city over to those with narrow minds and even narrower visions? Will you let the cranks and curmudgeons control our community for the next four years? Or will you stand up and choose leaders who will build on what we have achieved together? To those who supported me and the modern vision we shared for Penticton three years ago, I ask you to support Andrew Jakubeit for mayor.

Advance voting begins soon in the Penticton municipal election. This is your chance to choose the leaders of our community for the next four years. I believe the best choice for mayor is Andrew Jakubeit. Over the past three years on council I have had the pleasure of working with Andrew and have always found him hard working, dedicated and calm under pressure. In particular he has done an excellent job building relationships with some big players in the hockey community to help bring the Canucks Young Stars tournament to Penticton. The success of this event is a testament to Andrew’s professionalism and business acumen. Penticton would be well served to have someone with his talents leading our city. Over the past three years our city retired more than $10 million worth of debt. We saw at least $142 million of private building investment in our community. We strengthened ties with the PIB and West Bench through service agreements. We sought widespread public input and began rebuilding our Okanagan Lake Waterfront and revitalizing our Downtown. We received awards for supporting business and improving environmental sustainability. We secured a flight to

Wes Hopkin Penticton

Last election, this may have been a significant point that reflected the poor voter turnout. Still, others may have low external efficacy, believing that the results of the election will not reflect their choices, so there is no reason for them to vote. Media coverage of municipal elections, compared to federal and provincial elections seems relatively sparse. This tends to mean that potential voters have lower amounts of thirdparty information and lower political knowledge in municipal elections. With the election drawing near, it is para-

mount for every registered voter to investigate any and all candidates prior to the election so that when you vote, you know who you are voting for and why; what they represent and above all, can you live with them for four years should they be elected? As a taxpayer and a citizen of this city, it is not only your responsibility to vote, but your duty as well, unless you are prepared to let onethird of the population dictate the direction and future of Penticton. Vote! Vote! Vote! Help to make a difference! Ron Barillaro Penticton

A selection of comments on Penticton Western News stories found online:

On Inquest probes death of man in Penticton RCMP cells:

“No win situation. We want folks who break the law off the streets. We want those heavily intoxicated and being a public nuisance off the streets. When combined we really want them off the streets and thank our officers for trying to keep our streets free of nuisance persons. The fact is whether in a cell or at home this still could have happened. I am tired of the RCMP’s resources being used for people who cannot be civil and are a public nuisance. Are they really supposed to go and baby sit the inmates? OK fine! Who of you is going to step up and insist that our federal taxes go up to supply more officers to watch them? In all actuality that’s all it will take. Us the public paying more money for the comfort and well being of people who refuse to live by the standards the rest of us do. Easy solution. Don’t drink to excess and obey the law.” — posted by Krista Johnson

City breaks into top 20 Western News Staff

Lately, Penticton has been getting its share of accolades as a business-friendly city. According to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, Penticton is now ranked among the 20 most entrepreneurial cities in Canada, and with a score that also puts it in the top three municipalities in B.C. Penticton just made it into the top 20, however, with a rank of 20th out of 121 Canadian cities, up from 25th in 2013. That’s well ahead of the 2012, when the city was ranked 42nd. The annual Canada’s Entrepreneurial Communities ranks communities in three main categories, presence, perspective and policy. Penticton recorded good scores in all three for an overall score of 60.3, out of a possible 100 points. The top entrepreneurial city, Lloydminster, Sask., earned just 72.4 points. Kelowna is ranked 15th, with a score of 61.2. Penticton was ahead of larger centres like Calgary (29), Win-

nipeg (61), Abbotsford-Mission (54) and Nanaimo (77), in addition to out-performing other cities from the B.C. Interior, including Vernon (32), Kamloops (48) and Cranbrook (112). This accolade comes after Penticton being recognized provincially in 2013 during the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, when the city was given the Open for Business award, a provincial program that recognizes communities that support small business through local government measures. “We are open for business, and this ranking reinforces the City of Penticton’s commitment to create economic opportunity within the community,” said Penticton Mayor Garry Litke in a release. “Small business is the engine of our economy, and initiating Penticton economic investment zones and keeping tax ratios competitive help entrepreneurs on the path to prosperity. The City of Penticton is pleased that the Canadian Federation of Independent Business has recognized our efforts.”

But while the CFIB is recognizing Penticton on one hand, the city doesn’t score so well in one of their other research reports, the annual B.C. Municipal Spending Watch, which analyzes the sustainability of municipal finances by ranking municipalities based on their operating costs and their rate of operating spending growth. In that report, Penticton is ranked worst amongst B.C.’s largest municipalities with a rank of 119, down from 118 in the 2013 report. However, the report recognizes the ongoing work to improve finances, singling the city out as a case study. “In 2009, Penticton conducted a core service review in an effort to examine its spending habits and improve its use of taxpayer dollars. From this review significant changes were implemented which resulted in the elimination of union positions, reduction of salaries, and wage freezes for managerial positions,” reads the report.

My Priorities for Penticton #1 JOBS

• Foster entrepreneurship. • Economic investment zones work!

#2 COMMUNITY PRIDE

• Shop, support, celebrate local. • This is where we work, live and play.

#3 REPAIRING RELATIONSHIPS

• Team building, inspire and empower. • Prosperous partnerships. Together we are stronger!

DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION IS GOING TO BRING SOME EXTENSIVE CHANGES TO THE CITY’S CORE. WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON HOW THE PROCESS SHOULD PROCEED?

Q&A O

ur infrastructure is old and needs to be replaced. Now is the ideal time to enhance the pedestrian experience, making downtown more of a people place, and creating a sense of energy and vibrancy. Revitalization will help attract a better mix of offerings downtown and having two lanes of traffic will increase safety and visibility. After multiple public engagements, property owners in the 100-200 blocks will be asked

do believe that certain improvements have to be made on Main Street, including slowing down traffic, but whether reducing to two lanes would accomplish this would be debatable. I was always of the opinion and I brought it to the attention of staff that the whole seven block project should have gone to the people by referendum during the election. I am not keen on reverse petitions as the taxpayers who would be paying the largest

Q&A

have not supported the revitalization project until I am sure we have dealt with parking. Once satisfied I will review cost recovery of construction including removing parking meters. A lot of good work has gone into the existing plan and consultations. Nothing more is needed before implementing construction other than a review of costs and where the money is coming from. My concerns are that we have more projects than

funds. We have not made allowances for replacement of existing infrastructure: dredging the local marina, the agriculture irrigation system and replacement of the rescue boat.

Patrick Buchanan

visited nearly every business on 200 block to get to the bottom of this issue. I’ve concluded that, despite particular areas of contention, there is generally a favourable attitude toward it. The attitude of the general taxpayer may be another story for reasons commonly known. I also believe the city could have employed a much more creative, even artistic, community involved approach, and put as much focus on func-

think they should start to think of creating the downtown core west to east instead of north to south. close off the 100 and 200 Main Street block and make it into park and pedestrian restaurants and shops like a Paris street. The businesses downtown can sell investments into this idea to local investors and then we won’t just be fighting with one coffee shop downtown. If we are already developing

am definitely in favour of and support downtown revitalization. Infrastructure and amenities must not only be maintained but also improved upon in order to support business and attract people. I find that the reverse petition process leaves a lot to be desired, in that it severely restricts the participation and voting rights of the vast majority of Penticton taxpayers. Our Main Street is ours. It belongs to all of the people of our fair city. An expense of

he key will be to provide proper notifications and signage which boils down to effective communication. Something to also consider is that downtown Main Street is still considered a truck route which means it would be helpful to redirect this type of traffic to other routes in order to prevent and/or limit possible congestion especially during certain times of the day.

he 30 kilometre per hour speed has been in place (at least on Main Street) and unenforced for a long time. Many Pentictonites are doing 50, and it is worse in summer when black trucks with red and white plates go extremely fast. I don’t think the revitalization, at least the way it’s planned, should proceed. I prefer we follow the very successful model of the third St. promenade in Santa Monica, Calif.

Q&A T

he key is to adopt a two pronged approach: 1) Aesthetics - Entice additional retailers to the area and start putting investment into creating a more aesthetically pleasing environment (store fronts, signage, etc). 2) Re-energize - We should create additional living space to facilitate a greater sense of community (or ‘village’ living) in the core area and push for later opening hours. More regular weekly/ daily activity’s such as evening mar-

kets and attractions will also serve to make the core more of a destination of choice. These are proven models working successfully in similar communities and larger metropolitan landscapes where decay has caught hold.

Candidates Q&A Brian Horejsi

Q&A I

don’t think this plan should proceed until there is much more extensive public involvement and feedback, which might include whether the plan should proceed, and if so, what form should it take. This are several million dollars of public money at stake, and council and city administration should have formalized a process in which the public should have been invited to offer alternative plans and proposals. The question

is, are the citizens and taxpayers of Penticton getting their money’s worth from this deal? I haven’t seen a cost benefit analysis yet, my suspicions is one has not been done, and that should be in the hands of the public before any decision is made, or any plan initiated.

City council hopeful issues challenge to other candidates Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Councillor candidate Darryl Sanders is determined that win or lose on Nov. 15, he is going to make a difference in Penticton. He’s promising that if elected, he will donate $5,000 of his annual councillor salary to a fund for youth groups like the scouts, guides, 4H and “all the boys’ and girls’ clubs.” “I challenge all the other candidates to do the same. And to go one step further, this wonderful city that should be standing up for the youth, I challenge the city to match the contributions,” said Sanders, who includes the mayoral candidates in his challenge.

Why just correct your vision

Your Solution Is

It’s more to get the candidates to prove that they really want to make a difference and it is not about the paycheque. — Darryl Sanders

He said the idea came from a question at the all-candidates forum last week, when fellow candidate Doug Maxwell was asked if he was going to donate all or part of his council salary, as he promised to do when running for provincial ofﬁce.

“It’s more to get the candidates to prove that they really want to make a difference and it is not about the paycheque,” said Sanders. In Penticton, councillors are paid about $21,000 a year and the mayor, about $60,000. Sanders is hoping all the candidates are willing to make the same pledge, which would result in a $35,000 fund for youth groups, and up to $70,000 if the city chooses to match donations. “It’s about community involvement and giving back and I just feel it is the right thing to do,” said Sanders. “Whether I get elected or not, that’s going to be a contribution. I am hoping to see everyone jump on the bandwagon.”

With the onset of cold and flu season approaching, it is important to be prepared. Your best defense is boosting and balancing your immune system. Many factors, including increased stress, decreased sleep and poor nutrition, can elevate your chances of becoming sick. There are many natural supplements that can help keep you healthy this season. Immune Modulators Modulators such as Immuno-Care, probiotics, and medicinal mushrooms assist in balancing the immune system. A balanced immune system not only fights colds and flu, it also assists in relieving the symptoms of allergies and autoimmune diseases.

Live well. Live organic.

Immune Boosters Products such as echinacea, elderberry, and high doses of vitamin C boost the immune system, making it able to fight viruses and infection. These products are best used when you are directly exposed to or feel the onset of symptoms.

Anti-viral & Anti-bacterial When you become sick, products such as oil of oregano, olive leaf extract, and colloidal silver help kill the virus, speeding up recovery time. It is still recommended to also take an immune booster.

am not in favour of the downtown revitalization of the 100 and 200 blocks of Main Street. As to changing the three lanes back to two, that is a waste of tax payers money that can be used better elsewhere. Main Street already has a speed limit of 30 kilometres per hour and should stay that way, no one is speeding past the businesses on Main Street going 90 km/h; it is not a three-lane highway

Many of the downtown businesses oppose this project and I am not sure that the division of cost is fair to all. I would like it if the project could be put on hold until the new council is in and could judge it fairly on it’s merits.

as some would think!

any communities of similar size have two lane main streets. There’s been considerable opportunity for public input, including specific invites to those immediately affected, public design charrettes, input from business leaders, and areas at our farmer’s market for local and tourist input. It’s now at a reverse petition that includes two components: 51 per cent of affected properties

eeing that your question is about process and not about details or design my answer is quite simple, I think the process has already gotten to the point that significant change would be extremely counter productive. The plan has taken a lot of time, effort, research and some funds to develop and to put in place and it did include a number of opportunities for public feedback.

WEST KELOWNA WARRIORS forward Liam Blackburn battles Penticton Vees Connor Russell and Cody DePourcq for the puck in front of Vees netminder Hunter Miska and defender Miles Gendron as Warriors Kyle Marino watches during the first period of the Nov. 5 B.C. Hockey League match at the South Okanagan Events Centre. The Warriors scored a pair of third-period goals to edge the hosts 3-2 and snap the Vees’ 13-game win streak. Mark Brett/Western News

Discipline hurts Vees against Warriors Kristi Patton Western News Staff

As the saying goes, you win some, you lose some. Unless you are the Penticton Vees, in which case the winning part is much more prominent. Riding a 13-game undefeated streak in the BCHL, discipline got the Vees in trouble against the West Kelowna Warriors who snapped the streak defeating them 3-2. “I thought we took penalties at the end of each of the periods that were at critical times,” said Vees head coach Fred Harbinson. “We are probably the least penalized team in the league and it is not characteristic of us. The guys know it and I am not concerned. We are are going to lose some hockey games. Those penalties gave the Warriors the momentum heading into the third period and you know what? We have bitten them late in the game enough times throughout the years and tonight it was their turn.” Wicked Wednesday at the South Okanagan Events Centre was looking to be just that. Top two teams in the Interior Division, best goaltender, top scorer and two potent offences. Then the teams hit the ice.

A yawner of a first period with a distinct lack of scoring opportunities saw just the opposite in the second. Lewis Zerter-Gossage aggressively charged to the net with a Warriors defenceman hanging off his back and a trailing Patrick Newell buried the rebound. That was followed by a Warriors goal that was lifted in by Brayden Geisinger off a huge rebound Hunter Miska gave up to the slot, which was passed over by two Vees defencemen. Gone was the ho-hum hockey in the first. When the ooh’s and ahh’s from the crowd did finally come, Vees forward Riley Alferd seemed not too far behind. Commotion in front of the Warriors goalie, Alferd was there. Turnovers to start rushes for the Vees, Alferd. Penalty kill, Alferd. Who is that pesky blue jersey in the middle of a fiveman Warriors huddle? Alferd, drawing a penalty against the division rivals to boot. That powerplay resulted in a slick giveand-go that Demico Hannoun finished, putting the Vees up 2-1. Alferd? Well, he was on the bench cheering. No hugs from teammates, no fans cheering his name called over the loudspeaker, no matter.

NEW ANDOUS ICI DEL

“That is just the way it goes sometimes,” shrugged Alferd, who added his concerns lie more with getting his team in the win column than any accolades. “Our line has been facing off against some of the top in the league but just because we play hard in the defensive end doesn’t mean we can’t play just as hard in the other end and score. I want to do it all, I mean why not?” Despite the loss, and being shutout on the scoresheet to end his four-game point streak, Alferd still earned himself the third star of the game. “We joke around that Riley has some of the best edges in the BCHL. He is so strong on his feet and sometimes he will break out a move with his hands that is just jaw-dropping. Defensively he is really good too and knows where you are on the ice to get the puck to you,” said linemate Jack Ramsey, who is the winger along with Matthew Serratore on the line. Collectively the Vees, who were playing with a shortened roster, managed to keep the league top goal scorer Liam Blackburn at bay. But, as the Vees coach said, discipline at critical times dashed hopes of continuing their win streak.

A 10-minute misconduct issued to Hannoun for a hit to the head in the second period carried over into the third frame and led to Warriors Jonathan Desbiens scoring the game-winner with less than five minutes left. A scramble at the end of the game with the Vees goalie pulled couldn’t match the timely saves of Warriors netminder Andy Desautels who wouldn’t let anything by him. The Vees will continue to play shorthanded on the weekend. Teen standouts Tyson Jost and Dante Fabbro are skating for Canada at the World U17 Championship in Ontario and co-captain Patrick Sexton was not available Wednesday due to a family issue. However, he is expected to join the team for a three-game road trip to face Island Division teams this weekend. “We had basically three lines tonight and one of our keys is that discipline would be critical when we have five guys out of the lineup,” said Harbinson. “This is a tough road trip for us playing four games in five days including tonight. It will be a tough task but we will be up for it.”

It should be a great atmosphere,” said Gunning. “Last year, the gym was packed (estimated that nearly 600 people attended) and I’m sure the leadership students from both schools will have lots of fun activities for the fans.” On the court, Gunning expects it to be a tough series. “Their boys team is very solid, and very balanced,” said Gunning of the Mustangs ranked fifth in the province in AA. “They play with good energy all the time and have played very well recently. We will have to serve and pass well. We will have to play well defensively, as we usually do and be aggressive on offence when we get our chances.” Gunning said his team, which which dropped from eighth to an honourable mention in the AAA provincial rankings, have improved as the season continues and hopes for more growth over the next week. Mustangs coach Shawn Lum likes how his team is performing. They have battled injuries, but are at full strength and are ready to take on the Lakers. “They are excited to play and excited that we will be playing this game in our home gym,” said Lum. “Mustang players are always wanting to play competitive games and playing Pen High should be a competitive game.” Lum said there is added motivation from his players after the Lakers won last year. “The best part of this match is that there will be a lot of people in a gym watching these four teams play some good volleyball,” he said. “Any chance we get to promote our sport is an opportunity to get younger kids interested. A big thanks to Bo Boxall. He did most of the leg work to get this game going again.” Boxall, who last year coached the Mustangs senior boys’ team and lost to the Lakers, said there will be a good level of competition.

“Any time we get to play one another the intensity always goes up,” said the Lakers senior girls’ coach. “The game is all about pride for the athletes. No one wants to lose in a cross-city game.” Boxall expects a tough matchup for the Lakers as the Mustangs have been playing well. “They are an older and taller team with quite a few different options,” said Boxall, who as coach of the Mustangs senior boys’ volleyball squad lost to the Lakers last year. “We will have to play tough defensively and limit any runs that Maggie can go score. If we can do that, this should be an epic matchup.” Boxall has seen his team get better, especially defensively, in the last two weeks. “I think we are getting hot at the right time of the year,” he said. Mustangs coach Tim Haberstock said his group is looking forward to the matchup. Having split two matches earlier in the season during Mustang Mania, Habertsock feels this is a great chance for both teams to claim not only the city championship, but the season series. “Since we play in different leagues, there isn’t much of a rivalry, but I know both teams will be excited and maybe a bit nervous playing in front of a huge crowd, something they aren’t used to doing,” he said. “It’s always exciting to show off your skills in front of your peers and I think our girls are hoping to do just that and set the table for a great night of hard-hitting volleyball.” The action begins with the senior girls at 6 p.m., then the boys at 7:15 p.m. “We are hoping for a big turnout and I think Bo Boxall did an excellent job promoting this and organizing this event,” said Lum. As for the atmosphere, Boxall said that will make it a memorable event for everyone. “I think what the leadership groups have done to make this a fun night for everyone is fantastic,” he said. “I really look forward to the atmosphere in the gym and the smiles on the athletes faces.” Admission for the event is non-perishable food items to kick start the 10,000 Tonight Food Drive, which both schools work together on.

Karate students pile up medals Taneda Karate Dojo and Kyokushin Karate Club perform well in open-format tournament Western News Staff

The Taneda Karate Dojo piled up medals on the weekend during the B.C. Karate Open tournament held at the Penticton Lakeside Resort and Casino. Of the 148 medals given out, 65 went to students of the Taneda Dojo, giving them first place in the medal standings. “That’s good,” said sensei Chris Taneda, who was unsure of the number though he tried to do his own count while walking around. “We had quite a good tournament.” Among the winners from Penticton and Summerland were Katie Becker with two gold medals, Simonka Slizek, gold and silver and Declan Riddle, gold and bronze. Caitlyn Riddle, gold and bronze, Jacob Slizek, gold, Aquiles Downer, gold, Ben Say, two silver, Jessica Michaud, silver and bronze, Rosa Tynybayeva, two silver, Takeshi Smith, silver and bronze, Alex Wensley, silver, William Biro, silver, Kurtis Marsden, silver, Brett Michaud,

two bronze, Owen McRann, two bronze, Paige Clifton, bronze, Akira Mori, bronze, Ho Won Lee, bronze, Jodi Bartier, bronze, Marcus Bartier, bronze and Micka Becker, bronze. Tavian Gaudiuso of Summerland earned bronze in kata and kumite as did Spencer McRann in kata while winning gold in kumite. Taneda said competing in the tournament helps gain more experience and see the different style of karate. “It kind of opens their eyes up and they get to see different ways, people are doing different things in kata,” said Taneda. He also said the students learn more and ask questions to get better and discover the qualities of one style over another. Taneda said there were great performances by many competitors. Also competing were members of Penticton’s Kyokushin Karate Club. All seven of its members won medals. Winning gold was Brice MacKay, while silver medals were earned by Audrey Gosse, Connor Black and Brandon Potter. Earning bronze medals were Jasmine Howarth, Kal Kozakevich and Kevin McCall. The tournament attracted between 160 to 170 athletes.

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.

Western News Staff

Very few people are able to see some of the most intimate moments of their life played out in the form of an opera. Award-winning poet and Penticton native Shane Koyczan was able to experience his work come to life on Oct. 23 during the premier of the Vancouver Opera’s Stickboy, an autobiographical story exploring the intricacies of conformity and insecurity in relation to bullying — a topic Koyczan is no stranger to. Based on Koyczan’s novel of the same name, Stickboy was penned by Koyczan with music composed by Neil Weisensel played alongside animations created by Giant Ant, who have worked with Koyczan before providing the animations for his popular video poems on Youtube. Koyczan went from creator to audience member on opening night and couldn’t help being taken aback by the experience. “It was weird for me because watching it on stage, that’s my life on stage, it’s kind of disorienting just seeing the way people react to it,” Koyczan said. “Who gets to make an opera about their own life? It’s kind of bizarre in a way.” He usually has his hands in many different creative projects, but writing an opera was

not on Koyczan’s to-do list until the idea was brought to him. “I love collaborating and working with different people. So when Vancouver Opera came and asked if I would do this I was like ‘yeah, when is this ever going to happen again?’,” Koyczan said. James Wright, general director of the Vancouver Opera, reached out to Koyczan, mentioning that he loved the book and wondered how he would feel about turning it into an opera. Koyczan agreed, thinking it would be out of his hands at that point, but Wright asked him to write the opera as well. “Not being one to back down from a challenge, I jumped on board,” Koyczan said. Stickboy is one of Koyczan’s many works revolving around bullying, self worth and societal perceptions, including his series of video poems posted on Youtube including To this Day and Troll. Much of his work deals with his own experiences with bullying growing up, but Koyczan said his past acts less as an inspiration and more as something he needed to get off his chest. “I’ve written a lot about bullying thinking there is going to be some kind of catharsis that will come along with this, but I really had to accept that this is just going to be part of my life for as long as I live,” Koyczan said.

When delving into the topic, Koyczan often explores the effects of bullying that extend beyond the reaches of school. “People think that bullying is something that happens in school, and then you forget about it. It really isn’t. It really does stay with you,” Koyczan said. “School is that time in your life where you’re most spongelike. You should be soaking up knowledge, but instead you’re soaking up all these horrible social atrocities that are happening.” Koyczan is seeing success as a poet, an art form that rarely sees pop-cultural fame, and hopes to continue to expand his creative horizons. “I’d really like to work on a film,” Koyczan said. However, he is not immune to the stereotypical artists struggle of matching ideas to funding. His video poems have been hugely popular with schools and teachers who show them to their students, but Koyczan said as much as he enjoys working on them, there is very little financial sustainability in the projects. “I think every artist goes through that, but if you can fund your art with art you’re doing alright,” Koyczan said.

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 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 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”.

The story of three very different sisters returning home to care for their ailing mother is coming to the Cannery Stage on Nov. 13. Many Hats Theatre Company will be performing the Maritime drama Marion Bridge by Dan MacIvor from Nov. 13 to Dec.6. Marion Bridge takes place in present-day Cape Breton Island, N.S, and revolves around three estranged sisters brought together after leading immensely different lives. The newest addition to the Many Hats’ acting troupe, Jordana Fratianni, plays Louise, the youngest sibling who never left home. She has acted in community theatre before, but this has been a more formal process Fratianni said. “It’s been a great learning experience,” Fratianni said. “I’ve learned a lot from (director) Jane and from the other actors.” Louise and her siblings are all contrasting characters, but each role brings with it a depth

of possibility said Fratianni. “They are dynamic roles. There’s different things you can go and run with any of the different characters and their personalities. There is a lot of sisterly love and hate and that definitely comes through,” Fratianni laughed. Christa Phillips plays Theresa, the sister who has moved away to become a nun in New Brunswick. Phillips enjoyed working with the words of Canadian Playwright Daniel MacIvor, and felt a touch of patriotism as well. “What’s really cool is that it’s a Canadian play. There is always a little bit of pride in your heart as a Canadian actor when you do a play from one of our own,” Phillips said. Both Phillips and Fratianni agreed that the script jumped easily off the page. “It’s very real dialogue. To me, people do speak like this. It’s how we talk to each other. We kind of step on each other a little bit when we talk and we don’t always listen very well and the words are true,” Phillips said. Marion Bridge is being headed by director Jane

Pilkey, who enjoyed working with the rich dialogue as the actors did. “We had lots of fun trying to figure out where each character is in their own mind and the tension that is caused between the sisters and how it’s overcome,” Pilkey said. MacIvor’s much-lauded writing made it easy to understand who the characters are and where they were coming from, said Pilkey. The actors have excelled in the dialoguedriven, intimate setting of a Cape Breton kitchen according to Pilkey. “They all work very, very well together, it’s been a very smooth rehearsal process. A very exciting rehearsal process,” Pilkey said. After directing many pieces of theatre in her time, Pilkey still feels that pre-opening night excitement. “It’s in my blood,” Pilkey said. Tickets are $22 for adults and $19 for seniors and students and are available at the Wine Country Visitor Centre at 553 Railway St. Tickets are also available by phone at 250-276-2170.

A night to remember Dale Boyd

Western News Staff

The story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons is a piece of musical history that has been told on stage many times, but not quite like this. OH WHAT A NIGHT!: A Musical Tribute to Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons will offer an insight in to the lives of the The Four Seasons through a unique blend of humour, song and dance at the Cleland Theatre on Nov. 7. The show premiered in Las Vegas in 2008 and has been touring worldwide ever since with a talent pool of more than 50 performers. Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons are usually associated with the Broadway show Jersey Boys, which recently spawned a feature film of the same name. “Jersey Boys is a biographical account of the lives of The Four Seasons, which is rather a dark story,” said producer and director Michael Chapman said. While Jersey Boys focuses on The Four Seasons’ rise to stardom and connections with the New Jersey mafia, OH WHAT A NIGHT! is a music-based tribute that keeps

things light hearted. “Our show is the opposite,” Champman said. “It’s all the music, actually more music than in Jersey Boys, but very upbeat, a lot of humour and completely family friendly, which is the biggest distinction.”

We do every single hit of The Four Seasons. Every single one. — Director Michael Chapman

The performance features informative and quippy dialogue in between songs penned by Motown producer George Solomon, offering a glimpse in to the history of the famed performers. The music is what takes centre stage for this rendition said Chapman. Performers will be singing all 27 of The Four Seasons’ top 10 hits

including Big Girls Don’t Cry, Walk Like a Man and Can’t Take My Eyes Off You. “We do every single hit of The Four Seasons. Every single one,” Chapman said. Another distinction from Jersey Boys is the cast members of OH WHAT A NIGHT! Play multiple parts as opposed to sticking to Frankie Valli or a certain member of The Four Seasons. The cast rotate between roles and vocal solos throughout the show. “In our show, everybody is Frankie,” Chapman said. “You really feel like you got to know our guys. It’s like you’ve spent an intimate evening really getting to know our performers through the music of Frankie Valli.” This run marks the fourth Canadian tour of OH WHAT A NIGHT!, and the response at Canadian shows has been nothing short of positive according to Chapman. “Standing ovations, full houses, the Canadian (shows) are amazing. Everyone is so vocal and appreciative, it has just been super. We love playing Canada,” Chapman said. Tickets are available at the Penticton Community Centre or by phone at 250-490-2426.

Albert Daniel Lougheed Sunrise Sunset Supermoons

With heartfelt sadness, the family of Albert Daniel Lougheed announces his passing in Penticton on October 8, 2014 at the age of 66 after a short battle with cancer. Albert was born April 13, 1948 in Penticton to Joe and Alma Lougheed, was later raised by his grandmother Anita with his uncles Wayne (Christa), Charlie (Lorraine). Albert’s schooling started at the coast and finished at A.L. Fortune in Enderby. His career spanned over 40 years in the mining industry spread over B.C. including Elkford for over 23 years. Albert was predeceased by his mom and dad, Alma and Joe, his uncle Charlie as well as his wife of 30 years, Sharra Lee Deglow. Albert was an avid hunter, fisher, car buff, animal lover, practical joker and a tease with a heart of gold that touched many, always thinking of others before himself. Albert will forever be remembered by his wife Suzanne and her son Gerrit (Olivia), Albert’s sons Dwayne Mitchell (Nicole), Dan Mitchell (Dionne), many step sisters, step brothers, close family, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and phenomenal friends. The family would like to thank Dr. D. Kincade, Dr. Little and Dr. J. Kooy, the great nurses and staff of P.R.H., the entire superb team of Moog and Friends Hospice House and the palliative care team for the homecare services who treated Albert with such tender loving care throughout his illness. Those wishing to make a donation in Albert’s memory may send it to: Penticton & District Hospice Society c/o Moog & Friends Hospice, PO box 1105, Penticton BC, V2A 6J9.

“Dearest Albert” Each night we shed a silent tear, As we speak to you in prayer, To let you know we love you, And just how much we care, Take our million teardrops, Wrap them up in love, Then ask the wind to carry them, To you in heaven above.

Fred “BC”

It is with great sadness that we share the loss of Fred “BC” Brown. Born July 16, 1942 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania he passed into the sunshine on November 2, 2014 in Penticton. BC was an amazing husband, father, grandfather and friend sharing his stories, his cooking, his art and his music. He leaves behind his loving wife of 37 years, Susan, his children Marcus Brown (Marie) of Kelowna, Jenai Brown of Kelowna, and Jamaine Campbell (Jessie) of Port Hardy. His treasures were his grandchildren Malik, Jayla and Jayanna who will greatly miss Poppa. BC spent his growing up years in Philadelphia and New York, moving to Washington State after discharge from the US Army. There he explored varied careers including cooking, psychology, teaching, government service and ranching. His love of music led him to work with bands and it was in traveling with a band to Saskatoon that he met Susan. They were married within a year and soon moved to British Columbia enjoying the Cariboo and Kootenays and raising their family. A short stint in Alberta motivated them to move back to BC and they settled in Penticton eight years ago. It was agreed that this was the place to stay forever and they loved spending time fishing, hunting, wine touring, and great beach days with the whole family. BC enjoyed a wide network of friends who became his extended family. The family wish to express our great appreciation to Dr. J. Hochman, Dr. B. Forzley, Dr. D. Paisley, Dr. W. Teo and all of the staff at the Renal Unit for the excellent care they provided in BC’s last months. In lieu of flowers donations to the Renal Unit at PRH can be made to the SOS Medical Foundation, 550 Carmi Ave. A Celebration of his Life will occur Monday, November 10 at 2:00 at the Shatford Centre auditorium.

Tahoe is up to big truck towing tasks By Zack Spencer

The all-new 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe is part of a full suite of large trucks from General Motors. These range from the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban to the GMC Yukon and Denali and the Cadillac Escalade. Something of interest is the preference Canadians have for the GMC brand over the Chevrolet trucks, which are the most popular in the United States. More Canadians go for GMC and the U.S. loves Chevrolet, the complete reverse. Regardless, all of these GM trucks represent the majority of full-size truck sales in Canada. GM kind of has a lock on big vehicles able to move a large family, tow a trailer and now do it with much greater efficiency. These are all based on the award winning full-size Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks that arrived in 2014. GM has taken much of what made those some of the most comfortable vehicles to drive and baked it into the Tahoe and others. Looks In the Chevrolet family the Tahoe is the short wheelbase version and the Suburban is the longer wheelbase model, with much more cargo space behind the third row of seats. Some might find the new design direction from GM to be a bit too slab-sided, with squarer edges and boxy shapes but I prefer the modern take on the classic design. The Tahoe sits very high off the ground so the power side step is a wonderful addition along with a power tailgate and backup camera. How did we ever live without these amenities before? The biggest change is the front lighting package GM has used on this Chevrolet. LED daytime running lights make a statement and the monster grille with the big Chevrolet bowtie looks rough and ready. Inside One of the biggest changes in the full-size pickup trucks is the level of refinement and ride quality and this has migrated into this Tahoe, the cabin is quiet and refined. This is done through a number of advancements; one of the biggest is the way the doors wrap into the roof to help shut out road and wind noise. The next big advantage is the attention to detail in the front cabin.

There is a big screen, front and centre, with easy to use and access rotary dials and switches. There are USB plugs along with regular power outlets just under the radio and more USB plugs inside the glove box and yet another behind the radio screen that slides up and away to reveal a hidden compartment. The back seats have an available flip and fold feature that automatically lowers or raises the second and third row of seats. What is surprising is the lack of cargo space behind the third row when it is in use, the bigger Suburban might be the way to go for really large families. Drive The two-wheel drive Tahoe is the value leader in the GM line of full-size trucks, starting at $51,900, the GMC comes with a $2,000 premium over the Chevy. Yes, this is an expensive vehicle but keep in mind that towing is a big reason why people purchase such big trucks. With a towing capacity of 3,856 kg (8500 lbs.) in two-wheel drive trim and 3,765 (8300 lbs.) with four wheel drive, the Tahoe is up to the task of towing most pleasure boats and family campers with ease. The Tahoe uses the same 355 hp 5.3L V8 engine found in the full-size pickup trucks. It uses direct injection technology and has the ability to switch off half of the cylinders to help save fuel. There is a small indicator light on the instrument cluster that tells the driver when the engine is running on just four-cylinders. This helps the driver feather the throttle to keep the engine in this fuel saving mode as long as possible. When more power is needed, the engine automatically reverts to all eight cylinders for maximum power. These tricks help improve city fuel economy by seven per cent and highway consumption by 10 per cent. Verdict The Tahoe tested was the top LTZ trim with the magnetic ride control, the same system used in the Corvette Stingray. This system monitors the road condition up to 1,000 times per second and adjusts the shock absorbers up to 100 times per second to improve ride and handling. This along with the smooth engine and quiet ride makes the Tahoe feel like a big, luxury sedan. It is

no wonder that people who have these big trucks love them. One thing to consider when choosing which truck to buy is the available engine. The GMC Denali and Cadillac Escalade trucks have a larger 6.2L V8, which is much quicker and more capable. This Tahoe is just part of the full line of trucks from GM that dominate the market, and for good reason. These are well-designed, well-made and supremely comfortable vehicles for a large family.
