FIRE ON FAIRVIEW

NEWS PENTICTON WESTERN

Dale Boyd & Steve Kidd Western News Staff

Residents and onlookers stood outside the Kirkland Apartment building on 803 Fairview Rd. on Thursday as flames jumped from the roof. Firefighters were called to the scene around 5 p.m. where multiple police cars and first responders blocked off the street to the public. “One person was taken by ambulance to Penticton Regional Hospital,” said Penticton Fire Chief Wayne Williams. “We don’t know the extent of her injuries.” Residents were promptly evacuated from the building and stood watching across the street on the chilly night. It was an unusual time of the day for an alarm to go off, said resident Marsha O’Donnel. “The fire alarm started going off. I was making my supper and sitting watching my soaps and all of a sudden the alarm went off. At this time of night when the alarm goes off you tend to pay attention, so I’m glad we did,” O’Donnel said. Fire crews managed to extinguish the flames within an hour. “They are checking for hotspots and we also have a number of crews in the building right now searching to make sure there is no one else left in the building,” said Williams. At this time it is unknown what started the fire. “We are not sure if it started inside the suite and spread to the balcony, or started on the balcony and spread to the inside,” said Williams. “We will be talking with the resident of the building where it is believed the fire started. We had an investigator here very early on in the fire so he has been talking to a bunch

of people, but we will be talking to more people tomorrow.” Williams said he is hoping to get as many residents, most of whom are seniors, back into their apartments last

night. “Those who can’t, we will be going in to get any medication or anything that they need and they will be put up in a hotel,” said Williams.

Salvation Army kettle campaign rings in Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Salvation Army kettles are a familiar sight during the Christmas season, but this year, organizers are running into a shortage of volunteers to manage the kettles. “Our volunteer pool is shrinking,” said campaign organizer Patricia Dobrik. “It’s generally made up of an elderly population and this year it has declined by 50 per cent due to health and age.” The kettle campaign hits the streets on Nov. 21. Dobrik said they have the first week pretty much taken care of, but as the campaign moves into the last week of November and December, only about 50 per cent of the time slots are filled. Volunteers stand two-hour watches at the kettles and hand out candy canes or blessing cards. “It allows that moment to just be special, so it’s not just a drop in the can and walk by, it’s a moment of appreciation each time something happens,” said Dobrik. “We really want to put that time and effort in and with the decline of

our volunteers, we are noticing that we need to create that awareness and understanding of how important it is to volunteer in your community.” December is a big month for the Salvation Army. Not only do they have the kettle campaign, which runs to Dec. 24 and generates funds used locally to help keep the church’s community service programs running, there is also the 10,000 Tonight food drive. That event, conducted in partnership with local schools helps refill food bank shelves after hundreds of hampers are distributed at Christmas. “We are just continually replenishing our shelves, just through these events, because of how much actually goes out through the month of December,” said Dobrik, who estimates the Salvation Army has 400 people per day going through the food bank. Dobrik said it is easy to register as a kettle campaign volunteer. “They can call my trusty cell. And I have my schedule with me, on hand and able to Community ministry supervisor Joey Cyr of the salvation Army poses with one of the familiar kettles the group uses fill them in on a moment’s no- for their major fundraising campaign each Christmas. But this year they are running into a shortage of volunteers to man tice,” said Dobrik, who can be the kettles. reached at 250-809-5234. steve Kidd/Western news

Guidelines set for major events Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Without even a nod to Penticton, the Ministry of Justice has announced a new planning resource and guidelines for large events like Boonstock. According to a release this week from the Ministry of Justice, a group, co-led by the provincial government and the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District, has developed a new set of user-friendly guidelines to assist communities with hosting safe and successful Major Planned Events. “That’s exactly what I asked for and what they said they would deliver,” Mayor Garry Litke, who, along with the rest of Penticton council, lobbied for provincial oversight of large events during a meeting with Attorney General Suzanne Anton at the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference in September. Other than a couple of conversations with Anton’s assistant deputy minister, Litke said he hasn’t been in touch with the Ministry of Justice. “We gave them a pretty detailed analysis of what the needs were, so maybe they didn’t feel the need to consult,” said Litke. “I don’t really care about the credit, as long as the job gets done. That was my concern.” According to the press re-

lease, the BC Major Planned Event Guidelines are the first of their kind and include a number of templates, checklists and advice and were developed, in part, as a response to lessons learned at previous special events in the province, including the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games, recommendations coming from a review of the 2011 Stanley Cup riot in Vancouver, and major music festivals like the Squamish Valley Music Festival. “As the first step in a developing suite of planning resources, the guidelines will assist event planners, host communities and agencies, health professionals, security personnel, volunteers and emergency personnel help reduce the potential for public disorder. They are designed to proactively assist with the prevention and management of emergencies and disasters resulting from mass public gatherings,” reads the release. The new guidelines lack the provincial oversight and regulatory teeth that Litke suggested. But it’s still a step in the right direction, he said. “This will be helpful. Does it go as far as I would like? I have to take a closer look,” said Litke. “I would like to see something that would say you have to complete this checklist

before you can sell tickets.” Litke speculates the province didn’t go as far as regulatory change because it wouldn’t appear business-friendly. “You would be putting up impediments. They don’t want to create red tape, they want to be seen as helpful, not obstructionist,” said Litke. According to the release, a committee was formed in 2012 to “address a perceived gap in guidance for local authorities and event organizers and other public agencies.” The guidelines are intended to complement existing emergency plans, policies and regulations and to be used as a guideline and reference tool for local authorities and other groups. Litke said the new guidelines would have been an aid for the city and the RCMP when dealing with organizers trying to bring in a new festival. “Here’s the business model we expect you to emulate, so that in future, a Boonstock concept doesn’t just get to ride in without any kind of guidelines or expectation. It can’t hurt. It’s something that people like myself could point to,” said Litke. “They came to town and said we are doing it. Superintendent (Kevin) Hewco was scratching his head and I was scratching my head, all trying to figure out how we could make this thing

as safe as possible.” Close to three months after issuing their invoice, the province has still not received payment from Boonstock festival organizers for the nearly $177,000 in policing costs, the province’s 70 per cent portion of the $250,000 RCMP costs. “The province invoiced the promoter on September 5 for $176,901.10. No payment has been received yet and the province has been in contact with the promoters urging payment,” Perry Clark, executive director on the Ministry of Justice’s Policing and Security Branch, said in a release. “The $250,000 that the RCMP have cited represents the total costs at 100 per cent. It is up to the federal government to invoice the remaining 30 per cent.” Policing costs were originally expected to be in the $150,000 range, but spiralled upwards when RCMP identified gaps in private security contracted for the event and called in additional officers to compensate. The RCMP said Boonstock generated 150 police files that saw 38 people lodged in city cells. Boonstock president Colin Kobza has not returned requests for an interview. He has previously stated he wanted to see a breakdown of the RCMP bill before paying.

Error leads to big casino payday Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

A slot machine user at Penticton Lakeside Resort and Casino got more than they bargained for upon hitting a jackpot. According to Aly Couch, media relations for the B.C. Lotto Corporation, on Jan. 20 a slot machine that was supposed to have a maximum payout of $1,000 erroneously displayed a jackpot of $99,999.97. “BCLC reached a settlement agreement with the player as a customer service gesture. In this particular case, BCLC could verify that a jackpot had occurred but was unable to confirm that the amount was anything other than what had displayed on the screen,” said Couch. “Accordingly, BCLC determined that the appropriate course of action was to pay the erroneously displayed prize and was subsequently able to collect

the prize amount from the slot machine manufacturer.” The player received the jackpot on the Diamond Point progressive slot machine. Couch said the machine was immediately placed out of service while the matter was investigated. Out of caution, all 189 Diamond Point progressive slot machines, which are linked to form one large progressive jackpot, were put out of service. The manufacturer determined that the hardware and software controlling communication between the machines was at issue. By mid-February, the malfunctioning hardware and software were replaced and the machines put back into service. “These kinds of occurrences are very rare; however equipment can malfunction in any highly technical environment,” said Couch.

Though he’s still more than a week away from being sworn in, mayor-elect Andrew Jakubeit is already making plans, starting with delaying the budgeting process. “I would like to push that to January. December is usually the busiest time of the year for most people in business and also for their families,” he said. “January it slows right down.” City staff have already been preparing a preliminary budget, but Jakubeit said he would rather not take council, which has four new members, into the detailed budget discussions right away. “I am interested in looking at the budget too, I just don’t think we need to do it the first week of December,” said Jakubeit. “I think council needs to sort of get their feet wet and getting some overview of who is who.” Jakubeit said city staff has done some solid work already paring the budget down, and the preliminary estimate is they will

Andrew Jakubeit start the budget process with a $500,000 shortfall. “In the past, we have always started out with a $1 million shortfall,” he said. “It looks like they have come a long ways.”

Jakubeit said his first step is to get the new councillors introduced on how city hall and council operate, then start talking about priorities and what the new council wants to see happen. “We just need to channel that passion and energy,” said Jakubeit. “That’s what we want to do in terms of empowering council. Take that energy that hasn’t been tainted by bureaucracy and channel that into something productive.” Jakubeit said he wants to develop a plan to accomplish some of the shared goals on the council members platforms, and produce results so four years down the road, they won’t be repeating the same campaign promises. That goes for both long-term goals and more immediate ones. He said the new council needs to develop short term goals and “get some results for the community to see we are serious.” “I really want to see our community move forward and not just say the words of being the envy of other communities. We really want to improve our pride and vibrancy of our community,” said Jakubeit.

Peach City Radio learning to make waves Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

As they work towards a CRTC licence, Peach City Radio wants to give the public a taste of what community radio might sound like in Penticton. Myke Atkinson, station manager for CJSW, Calgary’s only community radio station, is coming to town to facilitate the annual planning retreat for Peach City Radio’s board of directors. The board, according to chair Dave del Rizzo, is looking

to glean even a small amount of the mojo that CJSW has worked hard to build, making them one of Canada’s premier campus and community radio stations for many years. On Friday, they are giving the public a chance to hear what Atkinson has to say during a public talk at 7 p.m. in the Ramada Conference Centre, focussing on how independent local radio benefits a community. While community radio is just getting started in Penticton, CJSW has been broadcasting from the University of Calgary

Trustees to focus on teachers Dale Boyd

Western News Staff

The dust has settled, the votes have been counted and emerging are two new and two incumbent trustees to the Okanagan-Skaha School District board. Newcomer Barb Sheppard hasn’t run in an election since she was voted in as academic vice president for Red Deer College 20 years ago. However, she made sure she was well prepared before putting her hat in the ring. “Before I put my name forward I did a lot of research to make sure that the skills that I’ve acquired and the relationships I’ve built in the community would be a good fit and obviously the voters agreed with me,” Sheppard said. Sheppard said she was “thrilled” to be voted in on 3,870 votes. She is looking to get her feet wet as trustees head into orientation sessions in the next few weeks. Former principal Bill

New to the school district board are Barb Sheppard (left) and Bill Bidlake (right).

Bidlake is new to elections and the board of trustees, but no stranger to the school system. “Part of my life I’ve always gone to school,” said Bidlake, a former teacher and principal in Penticton Secondary. He pulled in the most votes in the trustee election with 4,224 votes. “It was definitely a surprise. I’ve never been in any type of election before,” said Bidlake Bidlake said he felt “fortunate” to have such support from the community. His familiarity with the inner workings of the school system

look to make the transition to trustee a smooth one. With tensions between teachers and trustees high, Bidlake hopes his relationships within the district will help open up communications and lead to progress. “People talk about having to rebuild after the strike, it’s those relationships that you have. I think they are important. That’s where I think I have something to offer,” he said. As a returning board member, Shelley Clarke has seen the tension first hand.

“I know the teachers have hard feelings against the trustees themselves,” Clarke said. “Just getting over that hump and the hurt feelings because I know there’s a lot of things teachers aren’t doing right now that they used to do and maybe that’s the new normal.” Clarke is referring to teachers being involved in extra curricular activities for students. “It’s going to be us adjusting to the new normal,” she said. Clarke is also interested to see the implementation of the recent investment in early literacy intervention programs. She hopes these programs will help boost graduation rates and ease the transition for students going into high school. Bruce Johnson, another returning trustee,

is excited about the mix of new and old on the board. He added with the collective wealth of community involvement and knowledge, the board shouldn’t have much difficulty with orientation. Johnson said it’s time to focus on the positives and look ahead to what’s best for students. “We’re always looking for new programs and new ways of motivating students,” Johnson said. “Looking at the big picture I feel with the schools in Summerland and Penticton we’ve got a really good thing going here.” Linda van Alphen and Julie Planiden, representing Summerland, and Ginny Manning, representing the rural areas, were all elected to the board by acclamation.

EDITORIAL

opinion

Past discrepancies cannot be dismissed Now that the election is over, it’s time to start looking forward. It’s a new council, with a fresh outlook on running things, and it would be nice if they had the advantage of a clean slate. But as George Santayana said, those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Despite Mayor Garry Litke’s painting a rosy picture of this council’s successes, concerns raised over council’s actions, especially during the last two years, can’t be dismissed as what he refers to as “cloud of media negativity.” In fact, one of the first things the new city council needs to do is build bridges and work to repair the damaged image of council left by several incidents, starting with the hockey dorm debacle and the resultant lawsuits by contractors who placed $1.6 million in liens against the Eckhardt Avenue properties. Then there was the nearly year-long dispute with the Penticton Hospitality Association, resulting in the city losing a lawsuit in B.C. Supreme Court. There is just no good spin the city can put on the legal costs incurred or the potential loss of tourism revenue. The lawyer’s letter to Elvena Slump also comes under the “what were you thinking?” heading. Justified or not, there was no way threatening a lawsuit against an already-outspoken 76-year-old was going to result in good public relations for council or city hall. There have been many positives over the last two terms of council: tax increases have been minimal, WestJet has introduced Calgary flights, an expansion to Penticton Regional PENTICTON WESTERN Hospital is on the way. None of these positives should be forgotten, but nor should be the negative decisions. And in the interests of avoiding repeating history, Penticton’s new council needs to look into where the advice, or lack thereof, came from that put the city at odds with its businesses and citizens.

Basketball fundraiser a Slam Dunk Growing up I had a basketball hoop in my yard that was nailed to the garage. I’d spend hours envisioning myself sinking the winning shot for my school team or my favourite NBA squad, the L.A. Lakers. Unfortunately I wasn’t Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and couldn’t even lace up a pair of shoes endorsed by Kobe Bryant. Needless to say, my school athletics resume is a short one. It started with the Twin Rivers Elementary Tigers basketball team, then ended in Grade 6 as I was unsuccessful in making the Kinnaird Junior Secondary School Cobras volleyball squad. If any young students are reading this, don’t do what I did. Don’t allow one bad experience prevent you from trying out for future athletic teams. I should have just picked myself back up and tried again. Slighted from the game, and volleyball was never really my sport, I look back now with regret. Basketball was one of the sports I enjoyed most in school and I was OK at it. I was really good at shooting. Despite having an unorthodox style, I possessed good range from long distance. Not to brag. But now I get that shot to prove something to myself. I’m going to be putting my basketball skills, or whatever I have left for skills, to the test as I’m on the Lions/Habi-

Emanuel Sequeira From the sidelines tat for Humanity Slam Dunk team that will play the Harlem Ambassadors at Pen High on Nov. 30 at 2:30 p.m. I have to admit when Bob Elliott of the Lions Club ﬁrst approached me about it in September, I thought he was talking about the Globetrotters. Nonetheless, I accepted the offer and was excited about it. I’m being sponsored by the Western News, while other members of the team are being generously supported by local businesses. Joining me on the Slam Dunk team are Randy Farmer of 97.1 SunFM, Penticton Vees coach-general manager Fred Harbinson; Wendy Hyer, superintendent of Okanagan Skaha School District 67; Brian Hurst senior boys basketball coach for the Princess Margaret Mustangs; Brooks Lancaster; Kris Omland and Ryan Schulz; Greg Ovenden

of Special Olympics; Jeff Prowse; Debbie Scarborough, executive director South Okanagan Women in Need Society; Diana Stirling; Dorothy Vankoughnett; Dennis Walker, SOCountry Internet Radio; Campbell Watt, newly elected city councillor; Sandra Webber, Penticton Lions: Fraser Rodgers, broadcaster for the Vees, a recent addition, as well as Pen High Lakers senior boys basketball coach Colin Cook. With two of the four quarters being semi-serious, it will be good if our team has a few ringers. I’m hoping to get in some practice time to work on my shot. While this is for a good cause and to have fun, I don’t want to embarrass myself by throwing an air ball. Of course, now that I have talked up my shooting game, I will likely miss every shot. Elliott likes the group that makes up the Slam Dunk team. “I am very impressed with the diverse group of people who have agreed to play for the local team as well as their enthusiasm and willingness to help promote this event,” said Elliott. “The team roster includes many well known names in the community.” Elliott hopes that residents support this event to help both the Penticton Lions and Habitat for Humanity South Okanagan raise funds to further their work in the community such

as Backpacks for the Homeless, Christmas Hampers and the Annual Toy Run just to name a few. Habitat for Humanity South Okanagan has been working in the area for 10 years now and they count on the generosity of the community to build and renovate houses for low-income families. A recent project completed in 2013 was a new home on Huth Avenue in Penticton for a family of four. This should be a fun event for families to attend, especially with the second and fourth quarters ﬁlled with comedy routines at a slower pace. I’m excited to help and hopefully residents pack the gym to support both groups. During the event there will be an autographed basketball draw and a 50/50 draw and concession. Tickets are $10 for adults, students and seniors $8, children four and under are free. They can be purchased at the following locations: Johnston Meiers – 267 Martin St., Johnston Meiers – Cherry Lane Mall and Barley Mill Liquor Store – 2460 Skaha Lake Rd. There are also a limited number of tickets available at the Penticton Western News. Emanuel Sequeira is the sports editor for Penticton Western News sports@pentictonwesternnews.com

Fortis responds to meters A recent article and letter to the editor in the Penticton Western News (both in the Nov. 14 issue) outlined concerns about advanced meters. We would like our customers to know that safety is a top priority in everything FortisBC does. We base the safety and viability of our projects on the findings of experts recognized in their specific fields. In the case of advanced meters for electricity customers, we’ve relied on the conclusions of trusted authorities such as Health Canada and the BC Cancer Agency. Before moving ahead with the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) project, FortisBC went through a public approval process through its regulator, the B.C. Utilities Commission. Health and safety were discussed extensively before the commission. The BCUC approved the AMI project in

Kindness spreads

I would like to thank Rylan Hernberg for his many acts of kindness on the Random Act of Kindness Day, Nov. 7, 2014. Some of his many acts of kindness were putting loonies in shopping carts, leaving money in books, sending people the gift of money, leaving money at an ATM machine. He was also responsible for putting coins in the slots of some of the washing machines at the Penticton Laundromat. He also put loonies on pop machines to pay for the customer’s drinks. Rylan is a very generous and caring individual who loves to make someone feel loved and happy. Thanks to Rylan and all those who contributed to Random Act of Kindness Day for putting smiles on peoples’ faces. Kathy Hughes Owner/Operator of the Penticton Laundromat

Orange cat owner

To the owner of the orange cat: your young feline, the one that you abandoned at the edge of town to fend for itself about a year ago, is not doing so well. I assume she had a home once because when she first appeared in our neighbourhood, she looked like she was of normal weight and was somewhat approachable. I assume she was even spayed because if left fertile, she would have been pregnant once or twice by now, courtesy of the free-roaming tom cats. She might not have lasted this long if she had had a kitten litter to feed. The fall months have not been kind to the little orange teenager. She seems to get thinner and scrawnier each day. Although she tries hunting birds near my feeder as often as possible, it must be hard to say warm in -10 C with so little

We base the safety and viability of our projects on the findings of experts ... 2013, concluding the AMI meters are well within Health Canada’s radiofrequency guidelines — and well below levels from common devices like cellphones and baby monitors. Similar to other utilities around the world, FortisBC has found that advanced meters will open the door to benefits for customers. The meters will also help us run a more reliable and efficient electricity service, an

body fat. Perhaps her emaciation is the result of parasites. Yesterday she just had her head down as she hunched on the driveway, too tired to hunt. I shoo her away because I don’t want to find any more piles of feathers. It must be a lonely existence as I see her following other cats around, keeping her distance but looking like she wants to be friends or be taken home. She used to come to our door but I had to chase her away. I already have two cats indoors and do not want any more. I tried to catch her with food this summer, but she didn’t go for the food in my hand, only warily from a distance. If I couldn’t catch her, I didn’t want to feed her. I was lucky enough to catch another stray cat, but when I took it to the SPCA, I was told they were overwhelmed with animals and couldn’t take it, but I could go on a waiting list. I had to take that cat back to the neighbourhood and let it go again. This poor animal is struggling to stay alive. She is a victim and so are all the birds that she kills to survive and that other local cats with homes kill for fun. A responsible owner would show more compassion and not only spay/neuter their animal, but keep them indoors to protect wildlife. I have never understood why cats aren’t subject to the same control bylaws as dogs. Although this cat is now out-of sight, out-of-mind to you, the previous owner, I get to see her suffer and birds die in my yard. I just wanted you to know. Laure Neish Penticton

Cannery still here

Thanks to Steve Kidd for his excellent article on Oct. 10 about the Cannery Brewing Company’s impending move to a larger location down on Ellis

important factor as controlling the cost of supplying a safe and reliable electricity service is always on our customers’ minds. FortisBC expects to begin safely exchanging advanced meters in the South Okanagan in mid-2015. Meter installers will take the opportunity to inspect the meter base during the exchange, allowing them to flag any existing safety issues. The new meters will wirelessly transmit electricity consumption information to FortisBC, meaning fewer bill estimates and up to date account information for customers. No personal information is transmitted by the meters. For more information about the AMI project, visit fortisbc.com/ami or call 1-866-436-7847.

Street. We’ve had a lot of people ask us, “Can there be a Cannery Trade Centre without Cannery Brewing?” Rest assured that, although Cannery Brewing will be sorely missed, there are more than 30 other businesses going strong at the Cannery Trade Centre, and change always offers up new opportunities for up-and-coming businesses in our building. Congratulations to Patt, Ron and everyone else at Cannery Brewing! Jill Bateman The Cannery Trade Centre

Life threatening issue

Thanks Salvation Army for all your good works. However, I wonder why there is no signage at the homeless shelter at 123 Nanaimo Ave. East? I went there Nov. 11 and asked the official on the intercom but he said he did not know why there is no signage. In very cold conditions it is important for a homeless passerby to know that it is there. As this is a potential life threatening issue, I wonder if the Salvation Army can fast track a solution before the cold weather arrives? God Bless. Mark Carson Penticton

All about economics

Something I have been wondering about in regards to medical afflictions. The seeming incurable diseases that have been costing health care millions, if not billions, of lives and of course, the dollars involved. Every year the worldwide higher institutes of learning turn out many more PhDs and other diploma level graduates. Yet, every year, millions, (perhaps billions) are raised through collective efforts for research into the many health afflictions. What would happen to the

Ian Dyck, Project Director, Electric Advanced Metering Infrastructure, FortisBC

economy if all diseases were cured in the next couple of years? What would the medical research businesses do for income? How would the globally interconnected pharmaceutical businesses do for income if nobody needed pills? What would all the people who have stocks in these pharmaceutical corporations do for their income? Am I a fool for thinking there seems to be something odd about this situation? And, am I a foolish person for even writing this? I also wonder about the millions of people involved in just the automotive industry. Despite many new tech developments coming out every week, the new cars available do not really get that much improvement in gas mileage. What would happen if cars were to get four or five times the gas mileage they seem to have now? Could there be a dangerous drop in the amount of oil being pumped out of the ground? Economically speaking, it makes sense to this middle aged fool. As it seems there can never be a cure for all diseases, nor a car that can go five times the distance. As then, what would all those people do for income? Oh, and I recently read a proposal for a national minimum wage raise to $15. This would only result in everything going up in price. While it reads good, or sounds even better as a promise in an election pitch, think of this while paying $5 for a cup of tea or coffee. Someone once told me, “it’s better to let everyone think you are a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.” I must be a fool to think all this, let alone writing it out. Brian Strong Penticton

On polling station lineups:

“15 minutes outside, 45 minutes inside, and then into the hall for registration and voting, which took another 10 minutes”

— posted by Blue Walker

“Yeah, more information regarding advance voting. I would have went then had I known that anyone could ... regardless of whether one can make the actual voting day or not.”

— posted by Renee Barge

“We need more voting places and more days for the advance voting.” — posted by Ross Ranger

On City council’s last meeting:

“Sad to see John (Vassilaki) go. He is an amazing part of Penticton, British Columbia, as is his family. Good luck to the new council, may Penticton always be your first and foremost thought.”

— posted by Donna Dulewich Reimann

“This is really sad! John was a fantastic councilor, and in my opinion, would have made the best Mayor. Sorry to see you go John!”

The Riley Alferd-Matt Serratore-Jack Ramsey line pulled out all the stops to lead the Penticton Vees past the Langley Rivermen 4-1. The trio combined for three goals and four assists on Wicked Wednesday at the South Okanagan Events Centre to improve their record against Mainland Division teams to 5-0-0 and 20-3-0-1 overall in the BCHL, and third in Canada. It started with the Vees trailing 1-0 and Alferd pulled an inside out move on the Rivermen defender to setup the first of Serratore’s two-goals. “It was a great play by Alfie. He came in and kind of went under the stick of the defenceman, brought him in and he kind of just left it for me,” recalled Serratore, who has lit the red lamp 13 times in 24 games. “I was able to have a pretty good shot there and luckily it went in (low blocker). I think the goalie started leaning when he saw Alfie still had the puck.” Alferd, the game’s first star, was at it again as he potted the winner that gave the Vees a 2-1 lead. However, it didn’t come until the line of Demico Hannoun, Tyson Jost and Patrick Newell buzzed in the offensive zone. Their work on the shift led to Hannoun hitting a cross bar and post. “That sequence there created a lot of momentum for us,” said Vees coachgeneral manager Fred Harbinson. “Next shift, Alferd goes and scores. We kind of came at them in waves with utilizing our whole bench.” Alferd’s goal was a thing of beauty as he raced down the left side and snapped a shot past Bo Didur’s glove side.

CONNOR CHARTIER, the newest Penticton Vee, fought for space in front of the Langley Rivermen’s net with Charlie Pelnik. Chartier was a physical presence in his BCHL debut as the Vees won 4-1 Wednesday at the South Okanagan Events Centre. It’s their third straight win. Emanuel Sequeira/Western News

“We’ve been playing pretty well. Things have just been going right for us,” said Serratore, who hammered home the Vees’ fourth goal and 100th of the season on a setup by Ramsey. Leading 2-1, Jost, gave the Vees a two-goal cushion as he weaved into the Rivermen’s zone avoiding the stick of the defender who had dropped to the ice. Once Jost got past

him, he snapped a wrist shot top corner. The Vees’ only blemish came on the Rivermen’s goal by Dante Hahn. He was able to beat Hunter Miska, who finished with 20 saves, stick side off the post on a threeon-one play. Harbinson felt his team didn’t make many mistakes in their zone after that. “We were pretty efficient getting out of our end,” said Harbinson.

“Just not a lot of turnovers.” Known for their physical play, the Rivermen didn’t disappoint as they knocked some Vees around. However, the Vees bounced back and responded giving the game a playoff-style look. “It was a good challenge for us,” said Serratore. Find the full story at www.pentictonwesternnews.com.

Skaters best scores

Strong skating performances by Meagan Pankratz and Jordana McEachern are pushing their improvement trajectory up. The pair of Glengarry Figure Skating Club members enjoyed personal best efforts in Prince George Nov. 6-9 for the 2015 BC/ YK Sectional Championships. Pankratz, in PreNovice Ladies, topped her previous best score of 31.92 with a mark of 39.51 combined from her short program, 14.79 and 24.73 in the free, while McEachern, competing in juvenile ladies, scored 24.18 after getting 21.67 in Kamloops on Oct.17-19. “I think they did really well. The scores tell the story, really,” said Glengarry Figure Skating coach Trevor Buttenham. “Meagan did really well again and Jordana was up 2.5 points, which is a good improvement in three weeks.” Buttenham pointed out that Pankratz had a slightly weaker performance in Kamloops, especially in her short program, but made up ground. This sectionals event is the first of a qualifying competition

I think they did really well. The scores tell the story, really. — Trevor Buttenham

MEAGAN PANKRATZ scored a personal best 14.79 in her short program at the BC/YK Sectional Championships held in Prince George, Nov.6-9. Submitted photo

that puts the skaters in a position to compete in the Canadian championships, which Buttenham said is a first for both. For McEachern, it’s

also important for her future as she wants to compete in the B.C. Winter Games in 2016, hosted by Penticton. Buttenham said the improvements

made by Pankratz are great because when it comes to the free skate, most skaters don’t get through it without making mistakes. “It’s not about the mistake, the first mistake, it’s about how you deal with the first mistake, and not making a second, or a third or a fourth,” said Buttenham. “Almost nobody gets through unscathed for a free program. It’s three minutes, six different jump elements, three spin elements. Just about everybody is going to make a mistake. It’s how they deal with it that really defines where they end up. I think she did a really good job of that.” Next up for the club are the Okanagan Interclub Competition Nov. 28-30 in West Kelowna. Buttenham will have skaters competing in all 38 events, but anticipates about 26 are going.

Partnership improves ball fields Special to Western News

A partnership between the City of Penticton and Penticton Slo-Pitch League has scored one for the home team, as changes to Lions, Parkway and Skaha ball diamonds have improved the fields for users. New rooftops and players benches were installed for dugouts at Parkway and Skaha parks, as well as a new utility shed and tractor. Four magnetic base plates were installed, removing the peg systems of past that posed safety problems players choosing to slide into a base. The project came under budget at $31,980 with Penticton Slo-Pitch contributing 50 per cent of the total costs as a donation. “This partnership has improved softball fields in Penticton with addi-

tional safety features and amenities needed for players,” said Mayor Garry Litke. “We thank Penticton Slo-Pitch for their contribution to the community.” Since 1998, the Penticton Slo-Pitch has expanded considerably to include hundreds of

members playing in spring, summer and fall seasons and more than five divisions. Registration begins in spring and information is available at www.pentictonslopitch. com. “We appreciate the city’s help with improv-

ing sports fields in Penticton and how they handled our request,” said president of Penticton Slo-Pitch League Chris Atkins. Small changes add up and it looks great. It’s a lot easier to make these changes when we work together.”

PUCK BATTLE — Merritt Devils’ Randy McLean, right, does his best to prevent Quest Challenge’s Harry Brust from keeping the puck in their zone at Memorial Arena Sunday morning. The Merritt Devils won 4-1 and finished 4-0 in the 50-plus division of the Molson Old Timers Hockey Tournament. The tournament, which has been going for 17 years, had four divisions of four teams from Kelowna, Chilliwack, Kamloops, Langley, Penticton and Summerland. Tournament proceeds have gone to Penticton Minor Hockey and paralympic athlete Andrew Cooke. Emanuel Sequeira/Western News

Penticton’s under-14 field lacrosse team cruised to gold at the Richmond Romp Field Lacrosse tournament on Remembrance Day weekend. Penticton captured gold with ease as they pounded North Island 13-2. “I was pleasantly surprised with how our team made out,” said coach Dan Chetner. “I was expecting some stiffer competition.” Trenton Henson was named the most valuable player for Penticton in the match, while Beau Chetner led offensively with two goals and six assists. Netting hat tricks were Kale Lawrence, who also collected an assist, and Brendan Craig. Also potting a pair of goals were Colin Duffield, who added an assist, and Logan Cote. Matt Marschall scored once, while Matt Carson had two assists with Connor Ramage and Aidan Warren collecting an assist each. Penticton won all six of its matches, defeating New

Westminster, 11-1, Mid Island 11-6, Pacific Rim 12-1 and Victoria 11-3. Penticton then faced Pacific Rim in the semifinal and rolled over them 12-1. Ramage was named MVP. “I thought we played well the whole tournament,” said Chetner. “Improved as we went along.” Heading in, Chetner wanted to use the tournament as a gauge to see how his group would fare against competition they will see at provincials in February. That didn’t happen as none of those teams entered, which disappointed Chetner. Still, Penticton’s coach watched his players improve. “I think we developed a lot of confidence,” he said. “It was a lot of lacrosse.” Other game MVPs went to Chetner, Darius Venables, Ty Ricard and Marschall. Between sessions at the Adidas Sportsplex, to stay sharp, the team will travel to Seattle the first weekend of December to play in the Space Needle Shootout put on by the Washington Lacrosse Foundation. They may also play a tournament in Victoria.

BANISH DRY WINTER SKIN Canadians know how to make the best of the cold weather with snowboarding, skiing, ice skating, tobogganing and snowshoeing. I love hiking with my dog in – 15°C weather. As great as these activities are they, along with indoor heat, can wreak havoc on your skin. To help minimize the discomfort of dry winter skin be sure to moisturize frequently with an oil-based cream. The oil forms a protective layer that helps retain moisture in the skin. I recommend Avene’s Cold Cream emulsion. This non-greasy cream is non-comedogenic and formulated to be hypoallergenic. Cetaphil is another good option. One of the body parts that is most affected by cold weather and wind are the hands. To minimize the weather’s

impact wear gloves when outside and keep a good moisturizer on hand (pun intended). Avene’s Cicalfate hand cream is my favourite with Glysomed coming in at a close second. Cicalfate hand contains the unique ingredient sucralfate which not only moisturizes but also helps to repair damaged skin. Cicalfate is fragrance free. Glysomed contains glycerine which helps to pull water into the skin. It has a light fragrance of chamomile. Other ways to keep your skin comfortable include avoiding really hot baths, using a humidifier in the house and keeping yourself hydrated from the inside out by drinking plenty of clear fluids. Now you’re ready to brave the cold – see you on the hiking trails! We are available 7 days a week to serve you!

Splash N Dash loved Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Besides ignoring the cold, Jenn Annett enjoyed the first series race for Splash N Dash. “It was nice to do something this time of the year,” said Annett, who finished third in the 2014 Valley First Challenge Penticton. “It was a little cold but it was really good.” Annett needed just 23 minutes, 34 seconds to win the 750 metre swim and three kilometre run distance event and was pretty happy about being the first to cross the finish line behind the Penticton Community Centre. “We’ll see how the next three go,” said Annett. “I think it’s awesome. I think Shelie (Best) did a really good job or organizing it. Hopefully we will get a few more people (24 people participated) out for next time.” Annett liked the format, especially the swim, identical to what she did in the indoor triathlon, which will not be held this year. Asked about running in the cold weather, Annett said she didn’t think about it. “The first two laps not too bad,” said she while enjoying a warm coffee. “The last lap my lungs started to freeze.” Lisa Spalding also loved the event. While not being a good swimmer, she said it was good for her to participate in and added it’s great for kids. “Nice to come and watch them,” said Spalding. She didn’t feel the cold conditions as much, as she was warm following the swim. “I expected it to be colder,” she said. Spalding signed up after seeing the poster and said it looked fun. It also gives her something else. “A goal to keep me pushing my fitness,” said Spalding, who liked the atmosphere with the people. “It was a really good event.” Finishing second was Mike Ellis, Brad Lee, third, Jenny Ayers fourth and Scott McMillian rounded out the top five. The next race is Dec. 7. To register online, enter the course number 39649 for Dec.7, 39650 for Jan.18 and 39651 for Feb.15. Registration must be completed at least one week prior to the race.

Football folds over lack of support Western News Staff

Penticton Minor Football Association has disbanded. Former PMFA secretary/registrar Lorraine Sopow confirmed the fate of the association, which suspended play in 2013 due to low registration. “Trent (Lennox, who was to take on coaching duties) had to move and therefore we really have nobody to step in that will do it,” said Sopow, who could no longer dedicate more time as a volunteer to help keep the

association going. Along with low registration, the association had problems attracting enough volunteers. While the association never had teams advance to provincials, in 2010, the bantam Cougars made the playoffs in the Southern Interior Division. The association had a core group of players that started at age 11 until they reached 18. One player who reached a high level is Justin Gabriel, who plays for the Okanagan Sun.

“We had a great group of players and parents that took the association through those years,” said Sopow, adding that any kids in the area interested in playing should contact the Kelowna Minor Football Association. PMFA gave their equipment to the KMFA, but Sopow said if someone wanted to try and get football going in Penticton again equipment is available. Lennox could not be reached for comment.

Fogerty looks back to ‘69

t.g.i.f. concerts

Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

John Fogerty’s relationship to music goes back a long ways, even before he was able to speak. “There is a story my mom tells me that she went to a Beethoven concert when she was pregnant with me and that I was really enjoying Beethoven because I was kicking up a storm to the music, said Fogerty. “My relationship to the music all these years, it has been my best friend.” Fogerty will be in Penticton Nov. 27 with his 1969 tour, celebrating his love of music and a remarkable year, both for the world and for his band, Creedence Clearwater Revival. Many things happened in 1969 to make it a year to remember. It was the year man first set foot on the moon, and the year Max Yazgur’s farm in Woodstock, New York became the centre of the music world for three days. It’s also the year that CCR produced three hit records: Bayou Country, Green River and Willy and the Poor Boys. “That year was very remarkable in my life and my band’s career, but I dare say it was one of the more remarkable career years that anyone ever had,” said Fogerty, the band’s principal songwriter. “Three albums that all did very well, were played on the radio, a lot of hit singles.” When it comes to milestone years, it would be hard to match 1969 for Fogerty. That’s why this year, as he celebrates his 69th year on earth, he decided to look back on that incredible year. “My wife came up with this, why don’t we celebrate this with a tour, actually make the show around that,” said Fogerty. “It’s a privilege really. I was fortunate enough in those times to have written songs that have remained popular.” Popular is a bit of an understatement for songs like Proud Mary, off the Bayou Country album, which has been covered more than a hundred times by bands in the 45 years since it was released. Fogerty said he still loves to play those old songs, but tries to make Proud Mary sound just like it did all those years ago. “I get to play Suzie Q, maybe I change up some of the improvisational parts a little bit. But Proud Mary, as much as I can, I try to play that exactly the way I recorded it all those years ago,” said Fogerty. “I love playing that solo, exactly as I played it and recorded it then.” For younger musicians, it’s a question of where they draw their influences from. But for a legend like Fogerty, the list of musicians he has influenced is a long one. “I am very honoured by that. It’s flattering, I am glad they find some value in my music, the way I found value in the music of people that influenced me. I certainly know what that

feeling is like,” said Fogerty, who lists Steve Cropper — of Booker T. & the M.G.’s fame and 39th on the Rolling Stone’s list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time — as one of his inﬂuences. “You hear somebody do something when you are young and you go oh, how does he make it sound like that? As you grow, you try to imitate that or emulate it’s part of the process of becoming a good musician and I am just happy that people ﬁnd value in my music,” said Fogerty. The focus of the concert is 1969, with video and visual inspiration from those times backing up Fogerty’s singing. Expect to hear songs from all three of Creedence’s 1969 albums, including hits like Proud Mary, Born on the

Bayou, Bad Moon Rising, Down on the Corner and Fortunate Son. “The focus and inspiration is from that time. Certainly, I will speak a bit about that time. And a few of the things that were going on and some of the lessons from that time,” said Fogerty. “But also, I want the borders to blur a little. Life has gone on and I have some other songs that were written and recorded later.” Fogerty also said he’s looking forward to his ﬁrst visit to the Okanagan. “I am looking forward to being able to enjoy the place. I hope I get enough free time, to kind of mosey around and take a look,” he said. “I really love getting out to all the venues around the world and getting to see my fans.”

For this particular choir, music is the sound of hope. The Asante Children’s Choir’s Sound of Hope tour will be performing at the Penticton Alliance Church on Nov. 23 to raise awareness for its campaign and to enjoy some song and dance. The choir is made up of 15 children, ages 1116, from Uganda and this marks the first trip to Canada for the organization. The show is free with the opportunity to make a goodwill offering which helps sustain the choir and the Asante sponsorship program. The choir will be performing both Christian music in the worship style and Ugandan songs with a little more upbeat dancing and drums. Karen Klippenstein, tour co-ordinator with the Asante Children’s Choir, says that song and dance are very much the same to the children. “One of the kids told me ‘the difference between singing and dancing is nothing. It’s the same thing. If you’re singing then you’re dancing, if you’re dancing then you’re singing,” Klippenstein said. Proceeds from the concerts go towards paying choir expenses like flight tickets and the costs of travelling. Anything the choir makes in excess of their expenditures goes towards the next tour, with the goal of becoming self-sustaining. The Asante organization works in Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda helping sponsor children to provide them with basic necessities. “Our main objective is to get the children sponsored. To get them fed, get them education, clothing and get a better life for them,” Klippenstein said. Asante has been working in African countries for the past 12 years, providing aid to widows by providing opportunities for them to gain skills and find work. Asante also works to help orphaned children. The choir acts as an awareness campaign while simultaneously providing the children with support and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. “It’s a wonderful experience for them. I mean how many people would love to travel across Canada, which is wonderful, never mind that they’re not from here and they get this experience of traveling the country,” Klippenstein said. The choir is also billeted in different homes across the country giving them an opportunity to take in the subtleties of Canadian culture. Being able to tour across the country and play music in a multitude of venues has a profound effect on the children as well according to Klippenstein. “They are constantly performing for crowds as well so that’s kind of neat for them,” Klippenstein said. “It raises awareness kind of even in their own minds as to what they can become and what a better life possibly looks like for them.” For more information on the Asante orginization visit www.asantecanada.ca

Dispatches from the front Heather Allen 100-Mile Book Club

Gold Dust Jewellers 317 MAIN STREET • PENTICTON 250-492-3878 OPEN MONDAY - SATURDAY

In this month of remembrance, I wonder how many Canadians will remember Matthew Halton, one of Canada’s greatest foreign correspondents. Perhaps more now that his son David Halton (also a prominent Canadian journalist) has written the book Dispatches from the Front: Matthew Halton, Canada’s Voice at War. Halton began life humbly – in a two-room shack in Pincher Creek, Alta. In order to fund his university education, he had to work as a teacher in remote Alberta towns – often travel-

ling for miles by horseback to reach the one-room schoolhouses. After studying in Edmonton and England he returned to Canada to work at the Toronto Star. What a time to be a journalist. It was the early ‘30s and the heyday of print media -- a time of reporters dressed in fedoras, flasks stuffed in the pockets of their trenchcoats, rushing out to get a scoop. After a few early successes, Halton quickly rose in reporting status to become a foreign correspondent. He returned to London, and wrote stories there and in Europe. In Germany he witnessed the manipulation of a people utterly ruined and humiliated after the First World War, and bent on revenge. He warned again and again of the threat of Fascism, and of Germany’s increasing power. Halton’s writing was personal and

vivid: “Germany enters a nightmare. I feel it in my bones. She has heard the call of the wild. Pan-Germanism, six centuries old, is on the march again, but in a new demonic form.” As he wrote his German series, most other news outlets in Canada (and the prime minister Mackenzie King) thought Halton’s fears were overblown. Later, at the whitewashed Munich Olympics, a Canadian figure skater told Halton he no longer believed that the Germans were a threat: “No people as courteous as these could persecute Jews or militarize their whole country.” As with many of his predictions, Halton was proved right. He went on to cover many more assignments in the lead-up to the war, and during it: the winter war in Finland, the desert war in North Africa, Ortona, DDay and the liberation of

Paris. His dispatches back to Canada were splashed across the front pages and picked up by the Americans and British. Working for CBC radio, he became the most recognized voice in Canada. David Halton is careful to highlight his dad’s failures alongside his rise to stardom. He details extramarital affairs, excessive drinking, and times when his dad’s writing was simply not at its best. For the most part, he describes his father as a profound and prophetic writer. Fortunately, David is an equally insightful engaging writer. In addition to the great storytelling, there is much to be learned in this book about the 20th century, and how it’s possible we may repeat our mistakes.

‘Level playing field’ for liquor stores Tom Fletcher Black Press

B.C. government liquor stores are losing their wholesale price advantage next spring, but will also have the option of opening Sundays and evenings with chilled offerings to help them compete with private stores. The change to a single wholesale price for every product takes effect April 1, the same date B.C. is permitting private or government liquor sales in separate facilities inside grocery stores. Attorney General Suzanne Anton said the change is to create a “level playing field” for liquor retailing in B.C., after private store operators complained that the existing system gave government stores an unfair price advantage. Currently the Liquor Distribution Branch, the government monopoly wholesaler, sells products to government stores at cost and sets a minimum price for all retailers. The wholesale price for private retail stores is 16 per cent less than that retail price, rural agency stores pay 12

Attorney GenerAl Suzanne Anton says private retail stores have been calling for equal treatment from the government’s wholesale liquor monopoly.

per cent less, and stores that sell only B.C. wine get a 30 per cent discount. A new wholesale price structure for the thousands of products sold in liquor stores will be the same for all retailers, set to retain the $1 billion in revenues the province takes in annually

from liquor sales. Anton said she doesn’t expect substantial changes in retail prices. The B.C. Government Employees Union, representing government liquor store staff, welcomed the Sunday openings and increased hours to help their stores compete.

“The move to a single wholesale price will only be in the public interest if it protects and expands over time provincial revenue,” said BCGEU president Stephanie Smith. Premier Christy Clark said the government’s liquor policy review showed “people really like their government liquor stores” because of the wide selection and well-trained staff. Clark agreed with Smith that government stores are well positioned to compete with private outlets, which are generally not unionized and pay lower wages. The government is also changing its tax system for breweries to eliminate the steep increase that applies when small breweries reach a certain level of production. Anton said that is designed to encourage growth of craft breweries, which currently employ 2,500 people in B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch officials are also working on a system of higher prices for highalcohol beverages, a measure long recommended by Provincial Health Officer Perry Kendall to discourage overconsumption.

locally sourced products coming to Urban Market Western News Staff

Products of the Okanagan Valley and B.C. will be the focus of Urban Market , opening in the Dogtown Café in Penticton. Supporting local farmers and producers, the partnership, which includes LocalMotive Organic Delivery, will offer a range of quality foods not currently available in the downtown core. “The vision of the store is to give people an opportunity to keep purchasing quality local ingredients, outside the seasonal Saturday farmer’s markets,” said Dogtown Coffee Co. owner Corrie Corfield. She said the vision of Dogtown, since they started the original café in Okanagan Falls in 2012, has been to build “community with every cup.” LocalMotive is another company originating from Okanagan Falls, which sources local seasonal produce from farmers in the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys. “One of the biggest challenges for local

farmers is finding a receptive market for their products, and a distribution channel to make it logistically feasible,” said owner Thomas Tumbach. “We have been looking at setting up an operation like this for years, but it wasn’t until the option of this partnership with Dogtown came up that we were willing to jump in.” The market will also offer a range of in-house items including fresh pasta and sauces, take home meal options, spices and sauces. Urban Market will be open starting Dec. 2 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Regular business hours are Monday to Friday 9 am. to 6 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and closed Sunday. A grand opening event will occur on Dec. 6 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Save-On-Foods grand opening

After months of renovations at the Penticton Save-On-Foods store, they will be unveiling their new store design and ame-

nities on Saturday. Store manager Brad Hickey said from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. they are planning a celebration with the community which will include cake, coffee, Zumba dancers, a jazz band, more than 15 local vendors, giveaways and spin the wheel to raise funds for the B.C. Children’s Hospital. The Save-On-Foods kitchen will be open with authentic stone oven pizza, signature sandwiches, fresh made salads and sushi for eat in or take-out.

A fishing tale to top them all With the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show wrapping up last week in Las Vegas, I thought I would share with you an interesting vehicle that was on display and caught my eye – the 2014 Toyota Tundra Ultimate fishing vehicle. Bassmaster Elite Series pro angler Britt Myers wanted a Toyota Tundra equipped with everything you would want to go fishing and I think he got his wish. It is painted in a matte gray finish from front to back with yellow and black tribal graphics. Front bumper is made by Fab Fours and comes with PIAA fog and driving lights. There is a Warn 15,000lb winch tucked inside this massive bumper. Rolling big power provided the custom grille. Bushwacker fender flares help cover the 37” tall Nitto mud grappler tires mounted on 22” Moto metal black rims. The folks at Pro Comp suspension provided the 6” suspension lift. It features a MX 2.75c series coil over front shocks and MX6 adjustable rear shocks. In case you are wondering, how you would get in this thing, Bestop has built a running board step that raises and lowers automatically when you open and close the doors. A smaller step folds down manually just in front of the rear

tires. This helps you reach the custom-made roof rack cargo basket. The cargo basket has Rigid 50” LED lights recessed in the front, back and sides, giving plenty of light to see all around. The canopy is built by Leer and has painted fiberglass panels replacing the windows. The rear is truly unique. The canopy gate and vehicle tailgate are connected and attached to a rolling platform that slides out to carry a beverage fridge, tool compartment, fishing tackle, and more! It looks like a showroom out of a fishing store. The cabin features all black factory leather seats with a custom made center console. Instead of cup holders, a panel of switches takes its place where the driver can easily access the various powered equipment. The dash features a graphic montage of fish skeletons to get you in the mood. The door panels are equipped with twin speakers and a fish finder monitor. I guess you would have to dip the

Movie clunkers By Grant Stoecker

Sequels are rarely as good as the first, but give this second round of clunkers from film and television a chance. Each of the following cars was selected based on reader comments. Uncle Buck, 1975 Mercury Marquis Brougham: We all have that oddball relative — if you can’t think of one, well, it’s probably you. In 1989’s hit comedy, Uncle Buck, John Candy portrays Uncle Buck, an unemployed gambler charged with caring for his wealthy suburbanite brother’s children. While the children might find Uncle Buck a bit odd, they find his ’75 Marquis downright revolting — and terrifying if standing anywhere near it when it backfires. Columbo, 1959 Peugeot 403 Cabriolet: This popular television series starred Peter Falk as disheveled detective Lieutenant Columbo. While most cops would opt to drive a service car, Columbo chooses to drive his personal car, a faded Peugeot 403 Cabriolet that often suffers from mechanical problems at inopportune moments. And just one more thing, the car was personally selected for the show by Falk, after he spotted it in a parking lot at Universal Studios. Wayne’s World, 1976 AMC Pacer: Ah, the Mirth Mobile! This 1976 Pacer was the ride of choice for public-access cable stars Wayne and Garth in 1992’s cult classic Wayne’s World. While the Mirth Mobile, with its mismatched wheels and flame decals, is sure to make any car lover go “schwing,” the Pacer is often noted for its unique styling, courtesy of the famous designer Richard Teague.

front tires in the river to make it work. The factory 5.7-litre engine has been upgraded to feature a Toyota racing development supercharger and a cold air intake. A custom exhaust system by MBRP finishes off the engine compartment. Fuel economy? If you have to ask, you can’t afford it. Is it practical? Maybe not, but it sure would look cool to take it fishing and show off to your buddies. Sticker price: $125,000, to a Redneck ...

Subaru Imprezas on Okanagan ice and snow Subaru decided to switch its entire lineup of cars to all wheel drive (AWD) back in 1995, the company never looked back. (That was also the year Subaru introduced the Outback sport wagon.) Back then, sales were roughly 4,000 per year and this year Subaru is on track to sell over 40,000 units, an impressive accomplishment. In order to highlight Subaru’s latest Impreza compact sedan and hatchback, Subaru needed a location that could show off the vehicle on dry roads and in winter conditions. The Okanagan was chosen for the wonderful twisting

roads through wine country, but also snow-on-demand at Big White Ski Resort and the setting was perfect. Looks Earlier this year Subaru introduced the WRX, higher performance, Imprezabased sedan to accolades for that vehicle’s handling, power and design. It could be argued that Subaru has refreshed the outside of this new 2015 Impreza with WRX “light.” The new front grille, headlamps, air intakes and wheel options all make a much bolder statement. Sold as a sedan or hatchback, both cars now have a sharper, more defined look. But Subaru also wanted to make a statement with what cannot be seen, the way the car is put together. One of the main areas of focus was sound insulation and reduced cabin noise. Thicker front and side glass is now used, along with wheel-well sound insulation, thicker door seals and under carpet baffling. Not the kind of advancements that get noticed initially, but they are welcome. Inside The Okanagan is one of those spots that is defined by summer; it’s all about the hot, dry lakeside vacation. But after three days, in and around Kelowna, experiencing the first blast of arctic air, the place is just as magical at this time of year. Stories of the wine pickers getting ready for the ice-wine harvest makes it as appealing and delicious as ever. The Impreza had a similar one-dimensional attitude before this new model arrived. Yes, it is one of the most practical designs, with big doors that make getting in and out a breeze, the huge windows make outward visibility impressive but the car lacked sophistication. For 2015, Subaru has done a good job of remedying the situation. The radio head unit now looks like a polished, integrated feature, replacing what looked like an afterthought. There is a standard 6.2-inch unit or a larger 7-inch model for cars equipped with navigation. A backup camera is now standard equipment along with Bluetooth connectivity and heated seats are standard on all but the base model. Drive Driving over ice covered roads on the way to Big White Ski Resort and then getting to push the Impreza as hard as it would allow on a snow covered handling course, gives a great sense

of confidence in the cars AWD system. Traction is not an issue, the limit is really only defined by the type of tires the car is equipped with. For ultimate bite, a good set of winter tires along with the AWD system is impressive. The 148hp 2.0L 4-cylinder engine is carried over from the last car but now it is a Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV), and the Environmental Protection Agency in the United States claims it is the “cleanest gas car on the market,” helping to reduce smog-forming pollutants. Other changes include a re-worked suspension and steering. The springs and dampening have been adjusted to reduce bouncing over big bumps and the steering ratio is quicker. This along with the much quieter interior makes this a good cruising car but the steering lacks feedback and under hard cornering, the car tends to understeer. The engine too is best suited for cruising; climbing mountain roads strained it at times. The good news is that enthusiast drivers have the excellent WRX as an option. Verdict The 2015 Impreza is all about small changes to an already good car. The continuously variable transmission (CVT) now has a thicker casing for quieter operation and it now features pre-set steps to help mimic a conventional automatic. And manual transmission owners will be pleased to know that all trim levels can be equipped with a stick, but it is only a 5-speed. On the top two trim levels, the Impreza can be equipped with EyeSight, Subaru’s collision mitigation system that can detect objects and pedestrians and will brake the car to a stop if the driver takes no action. This has proven to be popular with drivers and is something typically found in more expensive cars. What Subaru has not changed is the price. Starting at $19,995 and topping out at $30,295, there is a trim and price for many Canadian buyers. The added backup camera, improved interior and the bonus of a PZEV engine is all just an added benefit that should help Subaru get even more traction with buyers. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder with 148hp.

McKortoff first female mayor in Osoyoos Emanuel Sequeira Western News

Sue McKortoff received the support of 1,285 Osoyoos voters Saturday to claim the mayor’s chair. “I’m delighted. I have got a great council to work with. I’m certainly looking forward to the next four years,” said McKortoff, celebrating her victory with family and friends. She handily defeated challengers Ray Vandenberg (290 votes) and Doug Pederson (54 votes) and becomes the first female mayor in Osoyoos’ history. McKortoff will be joined by incumbent councillor C.J. Rhodes who received 1,199, as well as Carol Youngberg, who received 1,199, Mike Campol, 1,073 and Jim King, 1,050. Claude Moreira and Sarabjit Rai will sit as the water councillors. Having worked with Rhodes previously, McKortoff said she’s “delighted” that he is back on for a third term. “He knows what he’s talking about,” said McKortoff, who described him as sensible and added that she has confidence in him. As for the other councillors, Osoyoos’ new mayor said they are feeling positive and she believes they will do a good job. McKortoff, who has resided in Osoyoos for 46 years, is thrilled about her new title as she succeeds Stu Wells, who changed his mind about running two days before the municipal election application deadline. At the time, McKortoff said she was anxious about her decision, all of that has since faded. “My great grandfather was the mayor of Toronto 125 years ago,” she said. “I’m delighted and I’m sure he is

as well.” Residents also voted in favour of the Osoyoos fire hall referendum, 913667. The Town of Osoyoos will borrow $5.962 million over 30 years according to the civic elections website. Volunteer Fire Chief Rick Jones said the Osoyoos Indian Band and Osoyoos Rural Fire Protection will contribute $1.9 million as they are partners with the Town of Osoyoos. McKortoff, who had been a councillor for three years, said people voting in favour is a bonus. “I think it just shows that people really went out and looked at the facts, listened to the fire hall people and made up their mind that this was the best deal we could have for 50 years,” said McKortoff, adding that the alternative approval process had failed leading to the referendum. Fire Chief Jones is very excited voters’ supported it after they spent seven years working on the proposal for a referendum. Jones, who has been fire chief since 2007, said the present building that houses the fire hall doesn’t meet any of the codes required. “It has been remodeled over and over. It was built for the older fire trucks that were smaller,” said Jones, who has a 76-year-old friend who went to school in the building in Grade 1. Osoyoos’ fire chief said the new hall will help them do their job better, while enabling them to better train and attract new fire fighters. “It will be safer,” he said. “When we go out in the community and do fire inspections we are holding up our end of the showing that we meet the same requirements that the businesses do in the community.”

LIVE WELL HEALTH TIP:

S.A.D. Avoid the Winter Blues Is the changing weather getting you down? It could be the onset of Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD. SAD can be caused by changes to the circadian rhythm of the body, or its biological clock. Changes in the amount of daily sunlight can disrupt the body’s natural rhythm and contribute to an imbalance in hormones like serotonin and melatonin. 5-HTP Is an amino acid that aids in transforming tryptophan into serotonin. Since 5-HTP is not present in significant amounts in a typical diet, taking a supplemental form can be very beneficial in improving mood and sleep.

Live well. Live organic.

Vitamin D Known as the sunshine vitamin, Vitamin D plays a critical role in many of the body’s systems. New research has shown it may be helpful in the prevention of depression and be beneficial to overall feelings of wellbeing.
