A sentimental journey in the air Mark Brett
Western News Staff
Tapping on the Plexiglas of the B-17G bomber’s nose turret and pointing to the city below, my 92-year-old co-passenger turns with a big smile and gives the thumbs up. Back on the ground, still belted into his front row seat, Bob Anderson, who flew Wellington aircraft for the RAF in the Second World War was overcome with emotion. “This, this really brings back a lot of memories, mostly good ones but some not so good,” he said, his lips quivering and tears in his eyes. “I had forgotten what is was like, but this has brought everything back, this was a thrill, this was a terrific ride.” His opportunity for the flight on the vintage aircraft nicknamed Sentimental Journey actually came out of the blue after he received the invitation just hours earlier. Organized by the Penticton Flying Club, the aircraft is here until Aug. 2 as part of the Commemorative Air Force (Airbase Arizona) tour through Western Canada. While at the airport the public will have an opportunity from
9 a.m. to 6 p.m. to tour the plane and talk to crew. Flights can also be purchased. The first aerial sojourn following its arrival was for media and special guests who had the “gumption” to take the 15-minute ride west along the Lake Okanagan shoreline, returning on the east side with a landing approach over the sparkling waters of Skaha. “This was the best seat in the house and I wouldn’t have missed it for the world,” said Anderson whose agility as he extricated himself from the confined space belied his years. “I wasn’t worried at all, it was just so terrific to see everything from this angle it was a thrill of a lifetime.” Those were strong words of praise, especially coming from someone who had over 800 hours flying the twin-engine Vickers Wellington bomber, mainly on anti-submarine runs in the Second World War. “I’ll tell you flying 50 feet off the water and dropping torpedoes is not fun,” he said. With four engines, and able to carry a large payload of bombs as well as plenty of fire power from machine guns in eight positions on
the plane, the B-17 was dubbed the Flying Fortress. At the flight controls this day was Russ Gilmore a retired airline pilot who currently flies large C 130 aircraft on missions relating to oil spills. When asked why he volunteered his time and skills and the importance of keeping the aircraft flying, he replied: “A typical mission for this airplane would be 25,000 to 30,000 feet, 50 degrees (Fahrenheit) below zero, 10-hour missions, half the crew would go to the infirmary with some kind of frost bite usually on their face any place there was exposed skin. “That was the least of their problems because the Germans were pretty good shots and so were the Japanese and so we’re never going to forget the heroism and sacrifices our veterans made then and now for the freedoms we enjoy and that’s why we do what we do.” And for veteran Bob Anderson, this was truly a sentimental journey.

Kids Fest looking to restart
Man on stolen motorcycle shot with arrow

Western News Staff
Despite the efforts of remaining board members, the Okanagan International Children’s Festival Society has officially announced there will not be a festival this year, even as a scaled-down version. Though the festival has seen trying times over the last few years, the board is committed to the event moving forward and working diligently toward a return of the festival. The announcement came Monday, at the same time as they announced that the society will be holding an annual general meeting on July 30 at the Penticton Community Centre. Matt Oomen, one of the five remaining directors, thinks it’s likely that constant changeover in people organizing the festival, since founder Gord Oslund retired in 2010, is part of the problem. Going forward, he said, is going to require a board dedicated to bringing the event back. Oomen said the goal is to run the full festival again next year, but that may not be possible. He is committed though, to making sure the festival happens in some form. “It’s going to need people that want to see this happen,” Oomen said. “This board is going to have to be more involved than it has in the past.” The festival was founded in 2003 by Oslund and quickly built a reputation as one of the top 10 children’s festivals in North America. It ran until 2012, when organizers estimated that over 10,000 people attended the three-day festival. Planning ran into a roadblock for the 2013 festival after the new executive director, Conrad Burek, resigned in Nov. 2012. With little time to advertise and hire someone new before the festival in

May 2013, the society’s board decided to take a break. Then, in April 2013, the festival faced another crisis when title sponsor Rotary International decided to pull out. However, the festival returned in 2014, with an estimated 9,000 people passing through the gates. With the uncertainty about the future of the festival, Oomen said funding continues to be a problem. “I have been able to apply for a couple of grants. I have begged and pleaded my way into a couple of extensions. But we have missed a lot of our funding again,” said Oomen, adding that he has been consulting with other organizations and groups in the city like the Downtown Penticton Association and the Penticton Hospitality Association. “Everybody says they want this to go,”
he said, explaining that the next step is to put a new board together and develop a plan for next spring. “This one is really going to come down to people putting their money where their mouth is when I come calling for funding,” said Oomen. “So far, I haven’t met many people that don’t want to see the children’s festival happen. “It is really going to come down to what Penticton wants to see.” The Children’s Festival Society will be holding its AGM on Thursday, July 30 at the Penticton Community Centre. The society’s press release advises that anyone interested in helping with the festival’s return or joining the board of directors is encouraged to attend this meeting. Doors to the Community Centre will be locked at 5:45 p.m.
Teneycke charged with robbery Dale Boyd
Western News Staff
After a manhunt tore through the South Okanagan, Ronald Teneycke is now facing charges of robbery and using an imitation firearm to commit an indictable offence. The prolific offender is also facing one count of being unlawfully at large and three counts
of breaching probation. Teneycke was consent remanded to the Kamloops Regional Correctional Facility Friday. On July 16, Oliver RCMP attended to a complaint of an armed robbery in the 6400 block of Park Drive. An unknown man entered the store and produced a weapon. From the description pro-
Ronald Teneycke
vided, police said they believe it to be similar
to that of Teneycke. Emergency Response Teams and police from multiple detachments searched the Oliver area for Teneycke and the manhunt came to a dramatic conclusion in a Cawston orchard July 23. Teneycke was originally sentenced to a 90-day jail term for possessing explosives
contrary to a court order in April. After Teneycke was admitted to the hospital, his sentence was suspended due to health reasons. After pleading with the court to suspend his sentence longer, Judge Gregory Koturbash ordered Teneycke to resume his sentence after he failed to prove he was physically unfit to serve.
Police are investigating a man who was found shot with an arrow riding a stolen motorcycle July 15. The stolen motorcycle, a 2015 Yamaha 900cc, has been recovered and a man is facing charges of possession of stolen property after being hospitalized with an injury relating to being shot with an arrow. The man was released from police custody and given a future court date. Police are still investigating the incident. The man was “extremely unco-operative” with police and didn’t disclose any details as to how he was struck with the arrow.
Japanese Gardens party Multiple youths were detained and one was charged after a disturbance at the Japanese Gardens. One youth started causing a scene when police arrived, trying to incite the crowd according to police. The youth was found with “magic mushrooms” and what police suspected to be MDMA, as well as other drug paraphernalia. One youth was charged with possession with the purpose of trafficking.
Break-in on South Main On the evening of July 19 three suspects wearing hoodies and masks broke in to the South Main Market. The group used a hammer to smash the window and took off with ice creams bars and cigarettes.
Broken window downtown A man kicked in the window of Downtown business in the evening hours July 20. Police located the man who kicked in the window of K. Banks Travel and found him intoxicated. The man received medical treatment for his leg and was released the following morning with a upcoming court date.
Construction site raided Sometime over the weekend at 300 Huth Ave., a suspect cut a hole in the chain link fence on FortisBC property and made off with two test lead cables and two work gloves out of a construction trailer for a total value of $200. This isn’t the first occurrence and RCMP are asking the public for any information on the matter.
Commercial break and enter A break and enter occurred around 5 a.m. July 28 at Body Talk at 325 Main St. Suspects broke the glass on the front door of the shop and stole glasses, shirts and purses.

Community feels “failed” Dale Boyd
Western News Staff
After a prolific offender in the South Okanagan led tactical teams on a dramatic manhunt, the community of Oliver feels the justice system has failed them. Oliver Town Council unanimously voted a resolution Monday to send letters to both Attorney General Suzanne Anton and federal Minister of Public Safety Steven Blaney requesting an audience to discuss the release of prolific offenders into the community. Ronald Teneycke, 52, was the subject of the manhunt that came to its conclusion July 23 in a Cawston orchard, and is now charged with robbery relating to the holdup of Eastside Grocery in Oliver, being unlawfully at large and multiple breaches of probation. Charges have yet to be approved, but police reported Teneycke allegedly posed as a hitchhiker assaulting a driver who picked him up and stealing his truck. Police reportedly located Teneycke in that truck which led to his apprehension. As Teneycke’s next court date approaches on Aug. 5, Mayor of Oliver Ron Hovanes and Oliver council want to see more done to prevent this kind of event in the future. “There’s a feeling in the community that the system somewhat failed here,” Hovanes said. Hovanes said the situation was reminiscent of Teneycke’s release in 2007 when the prolific offender
was returned to the community. A press release from police warned citizens he was in the community and likely to reoffend. “We want to send a strong message from the community, not just on behalf of the hands-on victims, but also from the community as a whole. They feel victimized as well,” Hovanes said. “People are on edge and locking doors and doing all kinds of things and we’re saying there obviously was not enough being done to keep a handle on this individual.” Hovanes said the man who was allegedly assaulted by Teneycke is Oliver resident Wayne Belleville. “The spouse of the victim, she said to her husband you’re a hero today because you took a bullet and then all the stops were pulled out to catch the guy,” Hovanes said. Hovanes said these harrowing events will impact any community, but the effect is magnified in a small community like Oliver. “I think we’ve done our share with this individual. Quite honestly, if he’s out, five years, ten years down the road, I don’t want to see him again. And I want to make sure that wherever he goes there will be adequate resources to look after public safety, that’s the bottom line,” Hovanes said. He said adequate resources are a big factor in releasing offenders to the community, including mental health facilities and police resources.
Federal funding for Three Blind Mice Dan Walton
Western News Staff
Three Blind Mice will be in better shape thanks to the federal government’s splurge over the country’s 150th birthday. Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas was at the trail network on July 27 to announce $34,750 in funding, which is being matched by the Penticton and Area Cycling Association (PACA). “This will actually have the money to create the quality of bridges and structures and things to make this place safe and have the signage so people can navigate it,” said Linnette Gratton, an executive member of PACA. The federal funding comes through the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program, which is granting $150 million in time for the 150th anniversary of confederation in 2017. In addition to new signage, the upgrades included nine new bridges (seven are replacements), new kiosks, fencing, trail improvements and an upgrade to the Rusty Muffler parking lot. Laura Harp, president and land access co-ordinator for PACA, said the work will be completed in time for the country’s anniversary.
“We’ve already begun. We’re actively replacing other bridges,” she said. “Our mandate has always been to enhance the pursuit of recreation and healthy living in the Penticton area.” “With PACA leading the charge, it makes it much easier when you have a group that can keep the costs down because they’re willing to put their own elbow grease in to make it work,” Albas said. “When you take out wages, and it’s more volunteers that are doing the work, then you can see how that multiplies – it probably almost doubles the investment.” Gratton said that riders who are new to the trail system will have a much easier time navigating through it and the standard of safety has been taken higher. “Any rider who wants to come to this area, which is for the intermediate and advanced rider, it’s going to make it a great riding experience.” An integral part of the experience is the ability to easily navigate, she said, as riders of the trails have had trouble finding their way in the past. “Without proper maps, proper signage, people get lost. We want them to know where they are and find the trail that they’re looking for. And they’re graded so people can stay on trails that meet their skill level.” Albas said the trail system is turn-

ing into a gem, though it’s a bit of a diamond in the rough at the moment. “With PACA making the trail safer, it becomes more accessible,” he said. “It may be small investments, but when you add them to volunteer groups, we’ll see big results.” South Okanagan-West Kootenay Liberal candidate Connie Denesiuk was happy about the government’s investment into infrastructure, but feels the Conservative Party’s overall contribution has been weak, saying the Building Canada Fund has been reduced by 90 per cent under their leadership. “I certainly welcome the money that’s put towards the trail, however the Conservative record has been of letting our infrastructure lag behind. There have been some pre-election announcements made recently, but it doesn’t make up for the lack of infrastructure funding over the years.” Members of PACA are hopeful upgrades to the track will attract more cycling events. Coming up is the SingleTrack 6 series, which is making two of six stops in the Okanagan: Campbell Mountain on July 30 and 3 Blind Mice on July 31. “Two-hundred seventy-five mountain bikers are going to come and utilize these roads – can you imagine how big of exposure that is,” Albas said.

opinion
Just a little conservation goes far Not without reason, people in B.C. tend to take water for granted. After all, it seems like we have and inexhaustible renewable supply. Even here in Penticton, just north of Canada’s only pocket desert, it’s hard to look at the beautiful lakes on either side of the city and believe that we are in a drought. I’m sure that’s what the people of Summerland were wondering back in 2003, when streams began to dry up in a severe drought that year, and the town’s reservoir was so drained officials worried there wasn’t enough water to carry the community through the year. It is time that we got past that idea. You only need to look to places like Arizona, where major cities are far outstripping the ability of the natural aquifers to renew themselves. The South Okanagan may be a long way from that level of drought, but there is little doubt that the human population is putting an increasing strain on the natural water supply of the region, at the same time as drier winters and hotter summers seem to be trending. With the region declared to be a Level 3 drought, the City of Penticton has asked residents to cut back on their water use by 30 per cent. There are lots of ways to achieve that goal — watering lawns a little less, for examPENTICTON WESTERN ple — but even after the drought conditions are over, that shouldn’t be a signal to returning to wasting water. It’s time to start thinking of the future. Fresh water is an endless resource, to be sure, but only if humans don’t outstrip nature’s ability to renew this most basic and vital resource.

Free trade even in logs? One of the rituals of life in southern B.C. communities is cross-border shopping for certain items. Even corner store owners are known to pop down to Washington border towns to load up a van with U.S. milk, taking advantage of a price difference generated by our “supply management” system. The recent slide in the Canadian dollar reduces this pressure in the short term, but the fact remains that dairy producers are propped up in Canada. And that’s increasingly a problem as Canada pursues entry into the Trans Pacific Partnership, the next big trade deal. With the U.S., Japan, Australia, New Zealand and other countries involved, it would form the largest trading bloc in the world. Canada uses tariffs of up to 300 per cent to protect its dairy and poultry industries from foreign imports, and the higher domestic price on milk and eggs is a burden that falls most heavily on poor people. The industry group Dairy Farmers of Canada and others argue that reducing or removing Canada’s import protection won’t change the huge farm subsidies paid by European and U.S. govern-
ments. The recent trade agreement between Canada and the European Union has already chipped away at this protection. The Conservative government is tiptoeing on this issue as a fall election approaches, with rural seats across the country at stake. But the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand have deregulated their dairy industries and the Canadian industry is already facing increased cheese imports due to the European Union agreement. It’s an issue to watch as the federal election heats up. The NDP has positioned itself as a defender of supply management, a particularly touchy issue in rural Quebec, while the federal Liberals are committed to keeping up with the U.S. and joining the TransPacific Partnership. The trend toward freer trade is broad and long. The Harper government ended the monopoly of the Canadian Wheat Board in 2012, and grain growers continue to compete globally. A trade deal with Korea saw tariffs come off Korean import vehicles, and life goes on. Another controlled and protected commodity that
Tom Fletcher
BC Views is seldom discussed is logs. That’s changed with the push for the Trans Pacific Partnership, as Japan protests federal and provincial restrictions that push up the cost of logs for export. Ottawa regulates the export of private land logs, but only in B.C. This is a longstanding irritant for private land owners, holding the domestic price for premium “J grade” Douglas fir logs below $80 per cubic metre while the price in Asia and Washington state has climbed above $100. The U.S. has long complained about B.C.’s cheap Crown land stumpage and low
domestic log prices in general, viewing them as a subsidy to lumber production. Indeed, this whole protection apparatus is designed to stimulate domestic milling, although it doesn’t seem to be working. The main investment by B.C. forest companies recently has been buying southern U.S. sawmills. The coastal industry has maintained that profits from log exports are keeping logging alive, paying for the harvest and processing of logs in B.C. With Pacific trade talks in the background, pushed hard by U.S. President Barack Obama, the latest CanadaU.S. lumber agreement is due to expire in October. It will be more difficult to defend what University of Alberta economist Jack Mintz calls a “Soviet-style approach to price determination.” B.C. used to do something similar to this with wine, protecting a backward industry cranking out mostly god-awful plonk. Competition made the wine industry better, and now it’s world class. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca

City divided because of council I respect anyone who runs for public office. It is not an easy job to be in the public view and to be criticized publicly. I believe mayor and council acted in what they believed was best for the community at the time. They seem to think the majority of the people in Penticton are in favour of the waterslides on park land. I respectfully disagree. We live in a wonderful city. Combined with our natural beauty and many seasonal events along with many active volunteers
Support for council
I support the decision of council to enter a lease agreement with the Trio Marine Group in developing the comparatively under-utilized south east end of Skaha Lake Park. In my opinion the Skaha location of a waterslide makes the park a perfect tourist destination. To provide for allseason use, possibly a couple of the slides could be also designed as a kid’s version of a bobsled run providing winter fun for our youth and visitors. The area would also be ideal for an ice surface similar to Stuart Park in Kelowna. Larry Jeeves Penticton
Rally the troops
Pursuant to Section 1021(1) (b) of the local government act, I am registering a complaint about the actions of the council of the City of Penticton in removing parkland in Skaha Park in Penticton and proposing to lease it to a private developer for a waterslide park. This parkland was purchased at great expanse over many years and has now developed into a major park in the city, with thousands of users in the summer months and even in the winter hundreds of people use this park on a daily basis. The proposal by city council will destroy trees and grass areas, eliminate a free boat launch, brutalize the scenic appeal of Skaha Park. The council has stated that it will receive a paltry sum of money for the desecration of this park to purchase other park land.
who organize, teach and coach, it is a great place to live. Now our city is divided. There can be only one solution to this ugly discord. We need a referendum on the issue of the water park. The mayor has stated that many have been misinformed. He has also stated that a better job could have been done getting information to the public. FAQs regarding the project have now been published by the city. The plans are on the city’s website. We now have time to be informed. I think most would agree the cost of a
However, it is difficult to fathom why they would want to dispose of an existing waterfront park on one of the prime beaches in SuperNatural BC to put in a commercial venture that will deny access to a wonderful recreation site, to local residents and visitors from around the world. At a public meeting, hundreds of citizens objected to this action in person, by letter and by petition. It simply does not make sense to destroy trees and park to replace it with a fenced, concrete waterslide park that will be unaffordable to many visitors. I am requesting that you immediately initiate an inquire into this action by the City of Penticton with the view to stopping the destruction of the park before action is taken. Although I am but one citizen in this city, there are hundreds of others who would join me in making this request if there was sufficient time to rally the troops.
citizens will come to their own conclusion, which goes a long way to explaining the anger that has been expressed. Second, council’s defiant defense of its decision as being democracy in action is alarming. They don’t seem to understand that following good process for communication and consultation is an integral element of democratic decision making. If mayor and council continue to abuse the privilege of office, they can expect an angry public to protest. And when protesters feel they are being ignored, then expressions of anger and frustration are likely to follow. Mayor Jakubeit should not be surprised at what happened at the rally. Third, it is discouraging to see the developer’s advocates willfully misrepresenting the Skaha waterslide opponents as anti-change, anti-development or anti-waterslide. Opponents have been clear from the beginning that they are op-
Fritz Hollenbach Penticton
posed to allowing a big chunk of precious public parkland to be used for a commercial venture. In fact, from the tone and quality of the Skaha Lake Park waterslide opponents, I’d say they are, for the most part, very much in favor of seeing thoughtful and innovative development that complements rather than compromises Penticton’s public parks. Mayor and council, I advise you to take a sober second look at what you’ve done and either scrap the Skaha Lake Park waterslide or put it to a referendum. I suggest that this is no longer just an issue about our park land; it has grown into an issue of trust and confidence in our mayor and council. At the moment, you are looking very arrogant and downright untrustworthy to a large segment of our population. It is still early in your term and you have time to change this picture if you do the right thing.

I am both frustrated and saddened by the Skaha Lake Park brouhaha. I would like to make three comments. First, this needn’t have happened if council had not been in such a hurry and had taken the time to engage in a serious public consultation before making any commitments to the developer, and certainly before making a decision to move ahead. Why was this not done? In the absence of an answer,
referendum on this issue is well worth it. Whether you are for or against, the animosity and friction could be put to rest. This is an important issue for all Penticton residents. The mayor has written that he believes that democracy should be in the driver’s seat. I agree. Let’s have a vote. Let the people of Penticton, now informed, decide. Let’s not have democracy take a back seat on this issue.

Violent crime in Canada is on an eight-year downtrend, but there have been some upticks in Penticton and the South Okanagan according to a new report released by Statistics Canada.. Violent crime was up 15.7 per cent from 2013 to 2014 and Penticton RCMP reported 3,904 incidents within the municipality in 2014, with a 1.88 per cent increase over 2013. The report features a Crime Severity Index (CSI), which measures the volume and severity of police-reported crime, weighing more severe or violent crimes to have a bigger influence on the index. Penticton’s CSI was up nine per cent in 2014 from the previous year and the violent crime index was up 15.7 per cent from 2013. Penticton’s CSI is higher than the total for B.C., which is 91.63, and the violent crime index hovers around the same with B.C.’s provincial average being 77. The numbers are just that Penticton Mayor Andrew Jakubeit said. “I think we sometimes dwell too much on statistics. When you have generally low numbers of incidents,” Jakubeit said. “Going from 10 incidents to 12 incidents is a 20 per cent increase, but it’s really only two files.” The stats are only tabulated for 2014, but two homicides have taken place in Penticton this year. “It’s unusual we’ve had two murders in a six month period. If you look back it was many years since we’ve had a serious incident like that,” Jakubeit said. The last homicide to take place in Penticton was in 2011. “There’s some solace that the two more serious incidents were targeted incidents. It wasn’t a random act of violence or putting the community at greater risk,” Jakubeit said.
It’s unusual we’ve had two murders in a six month period. — Andrew Jakubeit
The number of incidents is relatively low for most serious crimes. However, breaking and entering incidents in 2014 were up 29 per cent in Penticton from 2013 with 315 incidents and 19 people charged, and up 65 per cent over 2013 in rural Penticton with 70 incidents reported. The violent crime index in Oliver took a big jump from 2013 to 2014 with a 147 per cent increase, with the crime severity index jumping 68 per cent. Summerland’s CSI jumped 20 per cent from 2013 to 2014, as well as the violent crime index which went up almost 25 per cent. The CSI for Osoyoos jumped 55 per cent in 2014 and the violent crime index was up 29 per cent. There have been 59 assaults on police officers in Penticton since 2010, with 12 occurring in 2014. The total robbery numbers in Penticton were up 6.69 per cent in 2014 from the previous year, with a total of 77 over the past three years. A total of six people were charged with theft of a motor vehicle in 2014 in Penticton. As well, there were nine sexual assault charges in 2014, down from 12 in 2013, with one sexual assault with a weapon or causing bodily harm in 2014. Three incidents of
sexual violations against children took place in 2014, with a total of 13 over the last five years. A total of 268 assaults took place in 2014, with only two qualifying as aggravated, 85 occurring with a weapon or causing bodily harm and 181 level one assault charges. There were 142 incidents of fraud with two cases of identity theft and eight cases of arson in 2014. Incidents of impaired driving have taken a slight downturn in Penticton since 2010 with 151 incidents in 2014 and 37 people charged. “Every year there’s ebs and flows with crime. Police work very diligently trying to mitigate that with the resources that they have,” Jakubeit said. A total of 59 incidents of possession and other charges related to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act occurred in 2014. Last year, three people were charged with heroin possession, 10 adults were charged with methamphetamine (crystal meth) possession, and one youth. Three were charged with possession of ecstasy. There were no charges laid regarding marijuana production or distribution in 2014 and cannabis trafficking charges are showing a downtrend with 25 people charged in 2011, 16 in 2012 and nine in 2013. There were nine people charged with cocaine trafficking last year. Out of 62 incidents of possession of stolen property, 25 people were charged. Most of the provinces and territories in Canada had a CSI and crime rate decline for 2014, and the crime rate was up a very slight one per cent in B.C. from 2013. Several violations were contributing to the increase in B.C. including theft under $5,000, child pornography, breaking and entering and thefts of a motor vehicles.

The Snowbirds are expected to arrive on Monday Aug. 3, and Trainor said they hope to soon be announcing when and where an autograph signing session will be held. Other than the single autograph session, Trainor said they don’t ask anything of the team. Instead, Trainor said they go out of their way to ensure the team has a relaxing time, and can enjoy the area. This year, he said, all Classic 24 members of the team, decided they wanted Gambling to do a float down the Getaways channel, which was easily arranged with the help of Coyote Cruises. This year’s scheduled performance is Aug. 5 at 6 p.m., just one of the many events planned for the 68th annual Peach Festival, Classic which runs from Aug.Gambling 5 to 9 this year.

The Canadian Forces Snowbirds will be cruising through Penticton skies once again on Aug. 5. The popular aerial acrobatics team is set to perform during the Penticton Peach Festival on Aug. 5. This is just the latest visit, though; the Snowbirds have dropped by every couple of years to help open the five-day free festival. “I think we are incredibly lucky,” said Fred Trainor, who chairs the committee organizing the visit. He noted that few other communities are visited by the Snowbirds so regularly. “The return of the Snowbirds is welcome news to many residents and visitors to the South Okanagan during our biggest festival of the year,” wrote Trainor in a release. “Our committee has been working on this for some time now, and now it’s full speed ahead thanks to the generous support of Peters Brothers Construction.” The 40-minute show is choreographed to music with the Snowbirds

strictly enforced. During the Snowbirds’ 2013 visit, a recalcitrant boater refused to leave the safety zone, nearly resulting in a cancellation of the show. Trainor, who was listening to the pilot’s radio chatter, said the lead pilot was “very displeased,” planning to lead the

Whether they are ready to take a trip down memory lane or zoom into the future, the cars at the 20th annual Rotary Wheels Car Show will be shined up and ready to go. The show takes place on Aug. 1 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. in Rotary Park and features classic rides dating back a century all the way up to sleek models to those barely a few years old. “We get everything from the real antiques right through to those that are a bit more modern with the Corvettes and the Mustangs and everything in between,” said organizer Bob Coombs. Last year’s event hosted nearly 2,000 people and featured about 120 cars including the people’s choice winner, a 1915 McLaughlin Buick. Admission is $2, which goes towards a $1,500 bursary for stu-
dents in the automotive trade at Okanagan College. The funds also go towards other Rotary youth programs in the community like the student exchange program and the Rotary Youth Leadership Award.

MetaphOracle has shown that you can write catchy comparisons with more than words. “Whenever I put up a DJ mix, I always focus on connecting songs without like or as – I’m always one for wordplay.” While he entered the music scene focused on hip hop, Josh Tjaden, as he’s known off stage, has expanded his repertoire in every direction, and is now recognized by his signature style of glitch-hop beats fused with live trumpet. “I’m trying to fuse the two, and I think it’s the direction maybe music will go with, kind of blending the electronic and the acoustic.” After witnessing a similar instrumental integration during a Russ Liquid set at a festival called Shambhala two years ago, Tjaden said the idea to blend elements became stuck in his head. Half a year later, he began renting a trumpet
for $13 each month, and has been practicing regularly ever since. Mashing a brass instrument with the bleeps and bloops of electronic music suits his approach of taking a completely new angle. “I try to not give into formulas that a lot of people use with music, and try to make something that I’m happy with at the end of the day.” In wrapping up a 10-show tour across the province, MetaphOracle will be playing at the Mule July 29 as part of the Watt’s Happening Wednesday’s. He challenges those who think electronic music may not suit their taste – having been a DJ for a decade, he knows how to find something for everybody. “It’ll appeal to a wide range of people through referencing older songs; Led Zeppelin, James Brown funk, over to Dr. Dre – it’s a wide selection and it’s all cohesive.” However he is moving away from sampling, especially in light of recent clampdowns from music
sharing websites. “The majority is all original – I’ll design all the sounds myself. I just want to make original music and create something really unique.” According to the Mule, “It’s hard to expect what this musician will drop next but you can expect it will be overflowing with his gangstalicious steeze … Taking you from a glitched out, deeper trip on to another journey through the hood-rich, krunky bass sound that he loves, attitude is definitely included.” Opening for MetaphOracle will be his old roommate Dropline – a Kelowna DJ whose a transplant from Hamilton, Ontario. His distinctive sound integrates electronic with punk, pop, metal and classical. “He’s a really great DJ who has a lot of really fun tracks and great energy,” Tjaden said. The show starts at 10 p.m. and admission is by donation.

Anybody who owns a modern cellphone has what it takes to compete in the ReelPeachFest. But time’s running out to reach the Aug. 2 deadline. Local producers, amateur or professional, are invited to create films one to three minutes long which showcase attributes of the Okanagan. One category is called Liquid Libations, which is calling on videos about beverages that are produced in the valley – be it wine, juice or beer. The other category, the Okanagan Experience, is for videos that focus on regional attractions. “We’re not looking for a bunch of pretty postcard images,” said organizer Andrew Jakubeit. “They need to be strung together with some sort of story, some sort of beginning, middle and end.” He said a comedic twist is likely to grab the audience’s attention – and the fan’s favourite film in each category will win its producer $500. “Fans will get to choose which one they liked the best, which made them laugh, cry or moved them in whatever way.” Judges will also be evaluating each submission, delivering
the top videos in each category $1,000. Second place will win $500, and $250 for third. Participants will be supporting the community be sharing the non-exclusive rights to the footage with Tourism Penticton. “Right now we don’t have a lot of video collateral showcasing some of the fun things to do in the Okanagan region and we have to really brand ourselves as a destination,” Jakubeit said. “People are so visual, without seeing a little clip of rock climbing, ziplining, waterskiing or wake boarding – they may not know of that experience.” The producer also retains the right to repurpose the video for a future endeavour. For bonus points in the Okanagan Experience, highlighting cycling activities is an easy way to increase your score. The Liquid Libations category simply asks producers to showcase their favourite beverage. Jakubeit said it’s best for a producer to ask him or herself, “is this something that a television station would run?” “If it’s just a bunch of people getting drunk and throwing up or swearing they’re not going to make the cut,” he said, adding that ReelPeachFest reserves the right
to limit what is screened. “It is a family event, so there will be kids and grandmas watching this, so we need to be mindful of that.” The films will be screened during lulls between entertainers at the Penticton Peach Festival from August 5 to 9. Jakuebit said after the Beach Blanket Film Festival stopped running and the exit of BC Wines from Osoyoos, there’s been a void for video in the community. “We do have a burgeoning film industry throughout the Okanaga,” he said. “You don’t have to be a professional or have a $10,000 camera to make something that’s going to really move an audience, and there are a lot of creative people regardless of age.” Jakubeit himself is a self taught video producer and will be entering both categories of ReelPeachFest, though his submissions won’t be eligible to win. “Figure out some ideas, put them to paper, and get out there and shoot some epic Okanagan adventures; put a spotlight on your favourite Okanagan beverage, and submit by August 2nd.” To learn more and for the link to enter submissions, go to www. reelfestpenticton.com.

Western News Staff
An unlikely performance gave Penticton’s Jen Annett a third-place finish in Ironman Canada Whistler on Sunday. Annett, who finished 18th overall, completed the 42.2 kilometre run in three hours, 16 minutes and three seconds. On her Twitter account, Annett posted the she was the fastest on the run portion. “It was absolutely amazing. I didn’t think I had it in me to pull that kind of run off. I’m not a runner,” said Annett, while traveling back from Whistler. “Usually the bike is my strength and my game plan is to get far enough ahead on the bike that I can’t get caught on the run. It was kind of opposite yesterday. I took it easy on the bike.” After completing the swim in 1:02:01, Annett finished the bike in 5:32:14 making her total time 9:55:06. Annett scared herself a bit on the run as she reached a pace that was much faster than she thought she could do. Annett was initially undecided about entering IMC. She changed her mind after a poor performance in Ironman Coeur d’Alene on June 28, where she finished 28th overall among the women’s pro field, finishing in 11:12:52. “I had a really bad experience. The whole race fell apart. It definitely lit a fire under my butt. The next morning I was like I’m going to Whistler. I need to redeem myself.” She got it. Annett described the Whistler course as beautiful, but said a curve ball was thrown with the weather. “It was about 9 degrees and absolutely pouring rain,” she said. “It was cold, very cold. There was a ton of people that dropped out.” Following her perfor-

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Ben Nelson, a catcher for the SOMBA Thunder peewee A baseball team, was solid for his team during the zone regionals in Penticton. He threw out runners on second and third and was also strong at the plate and running the bases. His coaches also noticed how positive he was.

Among her best results was fifth in the 50-metre breast stroke, which she completed in 48.05 seconds. Midtdal said Ryan McMillan has been “kicking butt” in pursuit of provincial records. “He took off a lot of time from his freestyle,” said Midtdal. “He’s just a machine.

Rivers University 2-1, then later on Saturday, earned a 2-2 draw against Prince George. In the win over TRU, Emily Jones and Crystal Schuder scored, while Marissa Mendonca and Alex Varchol scored against Prince George. Carlos Mendonca, assistant coach for the Pinnacles filling in for Ray Hintz, said despite being tired, the girls performed well. The Pinnacles were also missing a centre back and were forced to rotate players.
“We played quite well. We were up 2-0 at half time,” said Mendonca. Prince George cut into the lead 10 minutes into second half then scored the tying goal on a penalty shot with five minutes left. The Pinnacles also got help from under-16 district players
Savannah Yamamoto, Nadia Campagnaro and Madison Klumpner. “They got their feet wet into that program.” In 10 games, the Pinnacles won five, lost three and tied two. Mendonca said the performances over the year were quite good as they played the style of football that Pinnacles FC preaches. “The girls held the ball well and created opportunities. Tried to play a possession game,” he said.

The South Okanagan Minor Baseball Association Thunder peewee season is over. The Thunder lost 11-10 to the Kelowna Cubs in the top of the 7th inning of their final zone championship game to finish with two wins and two losses. “The kids played their heart out. It’s been a lot of fun,” said Thunder coach Allen Wilson. Trailing 10-6 going into the bottom of the sixth inning at Kiwanis Field in Penticton, the Thunder took advantage of key hits, timely steals and some fielding errors to even the game at 10. The Thunder lost on an aggressive throw to home plate that didn’t work out. They also got into a bit of trouble by loading the bases with none out. “We got aggressive. We are OK with being aggressive,” said Wilson. “We just didn’t make a good throw at the end.” The Thunder never gave up and as Wilson said, “It’s not over until it’s over.” “These guys knew that it was going to be a close game. Talking to the (Kelowna) coaches previously, it was going to be a tight battle. We were evenly matched,” said Wilson. “Our team finally came together as a team. We have always promoted that this is a family. We all enjoy playing baseball.” Miguel Monteiro of the Thunder said both teams played pretty good. He was happy with the comeback

ARTHRITIS
Pain free in 2 weeks. This is what happened to me personally. I tried drugs, acupuncture, magnets and many other methods. Finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. It gave me the idea that I could help thousands of the 5 million men and women suffering daily in Canada with the worst pain on earth to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle. <For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage #1 spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night with 3 bottles costing less than $100. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON. <Cancelled knee replacement. 1 was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. <At first I was skeptical. I gradually noticed an improvement. Then I took another brand. I was surprised having so much pain again. Eventually I realized that I needed to re-order Bell. #1 NPN 80042283 Found relief again. Marie Ciraulo, 72, Oakland, CA. <Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister…Also guaranteed for sciatica. Hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

My libido was restored for good sex. I’ve given it also to friends with the same results. One of them is a diabetic and overweight. Dr. Louis Rolland, 72, St. Hyacinthe, QC <Having orgasms off the Richter scale. It’s like I’m a teenager again. The world owes you big time. Lawrie Roberts, 47, Toronto, ON <Wonderful to feel like a man again. It’s wonderful to feel close to my wife again. God bless you! Charles E. Palen, 77, Burnaby, BC <Women Yes!

Snoring?
Sleep apnea? Trouble falling asleep?
University of Toronto professor states that 69% of adults have sleeping problems. Bad sleep reduces physical and creative energy all next day. Almost all families are affected. Sleep apnea may cause high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks and irregular heart beats. Can be very destructive in relationships. Hundreds of true testimonials on the Bell website from people like you. Real people wrote: æI really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH. æSleep apnea capsules worked first night. For 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS. æFor 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a #23 NPN 80027595 substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS. æIt is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine anymore.

RCMP say a sixmonth investigation last year uncovered 1,228 incidents of B.C. residents illegally sharing “troubling” child pornography, including photos and videos of child sexual abuse, using peer-topeer networks. New crime rate data released last week by Statistics Canada show child pornography cases reported by police more than quadrupled from 300 in 2013 to 1,271 in 2014. RCMP Insp. Ed Boettcher said the numbers don’t necessarily reflect a spike in actual activity, but rather a better baseline estimate following the project by the B.C. Integrated Child Exploitation Unit. “It was certainly eye opening to me,”
Boettcher said. “It more accurately reflects the scope of the issue.” Officers with the B.C. ICE unit had tracked internet addresses of B.C. computers trading in known illegal material using online networks. It was the first broad sweep of its kind and revealed what Boettcher called a disturbing and tragic level of activity. “These are crimes against children, they’re serious and they result in life-long emotional scars,” he said. “The internet is forever.” The surge in activity uncovered was not matched by a major rise in culprits caught – a total of 107 accused pornographers were charged last year, up modestly from 2013. But Boettcher said more are expected as police continue their investigations.
He said the probe has led to charges against 18 accused and two have already been convicted. Violators who hide behind a computer screen can expect to lose their anonymity when they’re caught, he said. “Our initial investigation provided us a rough location of where these offences were occurring. We are now pursuing these investigations,” Boettcher said. “For those that think they can engage in this type of criminal act and hide, you should know that we have the expertise to find you.” He also urged residents and business owners to monitor their computers for illegal activity and use strong password protection to secure wireless networks so they can’t be used for criminal filesharing.
Species at Risk, the new hands-on exhibition from the Royal BC Museum, looks at why certain species are at risk, what their loss could mean and how you can help.
