Family of slain woman relieved appeal denied Kristi Patton Western News Staff

2011, was denied. “It is a huge relief,” said Brandy Cummings, daughter of the slain woman, Lynn Kalmring. “I can’t tell you how long I have been holding my breath. It is the first time I can really breathe since my mom died. It is everyone’s right to appeal, but to think it could have gone to a re-trial is just crazy. That was graphic stuff in the court room and I don’t think anyone needs to see that, or that I could even sit through it again.” Wiens, a retired RCMP officer, was found guilty by a jury of the second degree murder of his common law wife Kalmring. He shot his wife with a 9mm handgun in the head and was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 13 years. Weeks after being found guilty in July 2013, he gave his no-

tice of appeal on the conviction on a number of grounds. During the trial Wiens testified that an argument over a bet placed on a video game boiled over to other tensions in the relationship, including finances. He claimed Kalmring was drunk and after he fell asleep he was jarred awake to her hitting him. Wiens said he armed himself with a handgun because he feared for his life and later when she rushed at him with a knife that is when he shot her. At trial, Crown counsel suggested Wiens placed the knife in her hand after he killed her to strengthen his side of the events that he was

under attack. Expert witnesses for the Crown supported the suggestion by giving evidence that the knife found in Kalmring’s hand was placed there after her death. In the reasons for judgement on the appeal, Justice David Frankel said Wiens argued evidence of Kalmring’s peaceful disposition was improperly admitted at trial, and in the alternative, that the jury was improperly instructed with respect to the use of that evidence. As well, Wiens appealed the trial judge incorrectly ruled evidence given on police firearms training by an expert appearing for the defence was inadmissible.

Lynn KaLmring was killed by her common-law husband Keith Wiens in 2011. His appeal on conviction has been denied.

Justice Frankel said evidence was properly admitted on Kalmring’s peaceful disposition and the firearms training evidence

was properly ruled inadmissible. Despite crying “happy tears” on Tuesday morning when given notice the appeal was denied, Cummings said her family still has more to face. A legal battle with Wiens is being fought in civil court and she is still waiting to get personal effects of Kalmring’s back. “There are things I would love to get back that were held in evidence like my mom’s ring. There were items that were my moms and have sentimental value to me that were all considered to be evidence and have been held since the appeal was put forward,” said Cummings. Other members of Kalmring’s family, including her sister Donna Irwin, said for now they will take the relief of knowing that Wiens next step could only be an appeal with the Supreme Court. “Lynn would be dancing right now,” Irwin told the Western News. “There is such a relief that he will be staying where he is now, in prison.”

more Syrian refugee families to arrive in Penticton and Summerland Dale Boyd Western News Staff

More than 50 per cent of Syria’s population is now displaced due to the ongoing civil war, making the Syrian refugee crisis the largest humanitarian crisis since the Second World War. Refugee initiatives throughout South Okanagan are aiming to bring five more Syrian refugee families, including a recently announced family of five, soon to be

six with another child due any minute, coming to Summerland and another two families expected to arrive in Penticton through a partnership with the Summerland refugee initiative. The City of Penticton has offered to partially take care of the transportation costs of the families in Penticton and provide free passes to the community centre, after a meeting was held to collaborate with the nine refugee groups, committees and initiatives in the South

Okanagan on Jan. 23. There is no concrete date as of yet on when the families will be arriving. The announcement of the new family coming to Summerland was made during a fundraising event for the Summerland Refugee Sponsorship Group held at the Summerland Waterfront Resort on Jan. 22. Attending were Syrian refugee families already located in the South Okanagan, the Albetars, who arrived in Summerland in March

2015 and the Al Lwisi family who arrived in Oliver on Dec. 7, 2015. In an interview with the Penticton Western News, Mohammad Al Lwisi and his wife Nesreen Nemeh were joined by the Hussam Albetar and his wife Nadya Alsagher in a suite at the Summerland Waterfront Resort during the fundraising event, with Ayman Kanaan, a member of the refugee initiative and resident arabic translator, translating the questions and answers. For the Al Lwisi family it is

“much easier” adapting to a new country and a new life with another family from Syria in the Okanagan. “It’s very good. We like it and if there are more it’s even better,” Mohammad said. The families spent time together over the holidays as the Al Lwisi family is still acclimating to Canada. It has made adjusting easier for the children of both families as well. See REFUGEES on PG.3

Vibrant artist dies of cancer Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Penticton lost a vibrant personality and an important member of the arts community when Kate Kimberley died on Jan. 21 after a protracted battle with cancer. “She has been ill for a couple of years now, so we have been able to prepare as best we can,” said her son Sean, who added that it was a peaceful passing. Sean said that his father, former mayor Jake Kimberley, is coping, with the support of his family. Prema Harris, Tumbleweed Gallery owner, remembers Kate’s dedication to furthering her art. “She was determined to dedicate a lot of her time to making art. She just went for it. She went to workshops, she got involved with the Federation of Canadian Artists, and she just surrounded herself in that environment,” said Harris. “She just kept getting better and better. I guess that is her nature. She was beautiful to work with, she was so clear about her intention and what her goals were.” Nel Witteman, owner of the Lloyd Gallery, remembers being one of Kate’s first art teachers when she was learn-

ing to paint, in a oneday workshop at her Kaleden studio along with two other artists. “I’ve always loved the idea that she grew so fast. She went from a beginner to a full blownartist very quick,” said Witteman. Carol Munro was a member of the Tumbleweed Art Gallery collective along with Kate and a friend. “Kate was a terrific mentor to me in my art and I will be forever grateful,” said Munro, who describes Kate as a joyful person. “A laugh that I will remember all my life … the beautiful music of Kate’s laugh,” said Munro, who also remembers her friend’s excitement when she was invited to Tumbleweed Gallery.

“It was as if Kate had been invited to show in the Louvre. Her enthusiasm and her recognition that Tumbleweed’s interest in her was an affirmation of the quality of her work and how far she had moved in her work,” said Munro. “It was a beautiful thing to see.” Kate’s dedication to art went beyond just personal improvement, according to Munro. “Kate and a couple of other people probably saved the soul of the local chapter of the FCA,” said Munro, explaining that Kate would often step forward to be on the executive board, when others wouldn’t. “They said, ‘okay, we will do it again,’ rather than close the chapter. Now the chapter is thriving and hum-

ming with a whole new infusion of younger people,” Munro said. “But a lot of that is due to the fact that Kate would not let it go.” Jane Shaak, the executive director of the Okanagan School of the Arts and the Shatford Centre, remembers Kate helping set up the firstever exhibition at the Shatford Centre in 2011. “I think she was president (of the FCA) when we were moving to the Shatford Centre and the first exhibition we ever had was called Triptych,” said Shaak. To make the exhibition happen the FCA installed a hanging system at the centre, which was left as a legacy, as was a lighting system installed for another exhibition Kate helped organize. Former Pentictonite Graham Dellaire, now research director at the Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine at Dalhousie, suggested a special art exhibition with those who own artworks by Kate could lend them for the show. “Money raised by entry to the exhibition could go to funding a summer studentship in breast cancer research,” wrote Dellaire. Kate’s son, Sean, said no time has been set for a memorial service, adding the family plans on a private ceremony.

Refugee families settling in to the South Okanagan From REFUGEES on PG. 1 Nesreen attends a pre-school group with her two young daughters, the Albetar’s son plays soccer as well as the odd round of Playstation with Kanaan’s son. “At home, when we are visiting, the kids just have a blast and everyone is running after each other and playing together,” Kanaan said. Kanaan, along with volunteers including the Albetar family, helped prep the Syrian dishes served at the fundraiser, which was attended by members of Summerland council, Penticton city council and Penticton MP Richard Cannings. To have all those dignitaries come out in support was “exciting,” Hussam said in English with a big smile. “It’s a great feeling, they absolutely were amazed. They love the feeling seeing the excessive love from the community, the council, mayor, MPs, MLAs, that they care about the people of Syria as people. They care about the situation in Syria and want to help any way they can,” Kanaan said. The families keep in touch with loved ones back home via Skype and other video chatting services. “Unfortunately, that we cannot really

WestJet flight’s affected in reduction plan Mark Brett Western News Staff

WestJet’s Encore non-stop flights between Penticton and Calgary are being affected as part of the company’s overall service-reduction plan in the west. However, based on the current scheduling of once-daily trips between the cities, there will actually be one additional flight three days of the week starting Feb. 15. Prior to the airline’s recently announced scheduling changes, WestJet had arranged to start twice-daily service to and from Calgary, seven days a week, beginning on that date. According to manager David Allen of Penticton Regional Airport, the added flights were actually supposed to start last October but were put off until February when the necessary expansion work to the airport’s holding zone was to be completed. The zone is the secure area where passengers wait after passing through security. Currently Encore flights arrive just after 2 p.m. and leave about an hour later.

WestJet employee Lois Mordan directs passengers boarding the Bombardier Q400 Nextgen aircraft at Calgary International Airport Oct. 24, 2014 for the inaugural WestJet flight to Penticton.

According to Robert Palmer, WestJet public relations manager, the new additional flights will land in Penticton in the evening and leave the following morning. When the new format is in place, flight WS3280 from Penticton to Calgary and WS3281 from Calgary to Penticton will operate daily. Flight WS3276 from Calgary to Penticton will operate on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and WS3132 from Penticton to Calgary will operate on

Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. “With the downturn in the economy we are seeing less demand for travel to and from energy markets into areas across Canada,” said Palmer. “WestJet bases our service in part on supply and demand and review our schedule and network on a regular basis to ensure we are meeting guests’ needs while maintaining profitable flying on behalf of our shareholders.” He added the company has in the past adjusted its service

where necessary and will do the same in the future as the needs change. WestJet began flying between Penticton and Calgary with its 78-passenger Bombardier Q400 NextGen turboprop aircraft on Oct. 25, 2014 with the seven-day-a-week regularly scheduled flights. The response was so good that it was decided after less than a year’s service to add additional flights. However. that was cut back, largely because of the Alberta oil slump. According to WestJet officials, the travel demand began to slow last spring and is expected to continue this year. Penticton is, at least for now, faring much better than other cities. The airline is completely cancelling direct flights to Calgary from Terrace and Prince George as well as all flights to Edmonton and Kamloops and Nanaimo. There will also be reduced flights between Edmonton and Abbotsford. All of the changes are expected to be in place by March 5. In total, nearly 90 scheduled flights between Alberta and B.C. are being cut.

ous refugee initiatives since the Summerland United Church sponsored the Albetar family early last year. He has passed on his advice from experiencing the same culture shock to the families. “The biggest lesson is keep your culture, keep who you are, but you have to adjust to the new culture. One of the biggest things is, for example, employment. The woman’s role here versus back home. A lot of women back home, not a lot of them work, the dad is the breadwinner,” Kanaan said. “Life is different, a lot of them have family homes that are passed on so you don’t really need to have double incomes coming in.” “We hear a lot about ‘why Syria?’,” said Doug Holmes, Summerland councillor and co-chair of the Summerland refugee group, while speaking at the fundraiser. Holmes displayed a graph noting the 12 million people displaced by the Syrian war, compared to five million displaced by the 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean, the 2.3 million left homeless after the earthquake in Haiti and the 2.8 million in need of humanitarian aid after the earthquake in Nepal. “The scale we’re talking about here, it’s unfathomable. So that’s why Syria is out there and why we’re all here today and why we are so focused on it,” Holmes said.

Two people in their 20s were eventually taken into custody last week after fleeing from Penticton RCMP, but not before an officer fired two shots. “Thankfully, neither my officers, nor the suspects were injured” said Superintendent Kevin Hewco, “This is a serious incident that is currently under investigation.” At 9:40 p.m. on Jan. 21, a police officer attempted to stop and check a suspicious vehicle with two occupants in the area of Skaha Hills. RCMP said the vehicle fled at a high rate of speed and was located a short time later on Yorkton Avenue. An officer followed the vehicle then made a

second attempt at stopping it. According to a press release issued by the Penticton RCMP, the vehicle fled again and was located by a lone officer when a collision occurred and that is when the officer fired the two shots. RCMP said shortly after the incident, the vehicle was boxed in on Valley View Road by other officers and two other people. A 23-year-old female and 20-year-old male were taken into custody. Following the conclusion of the investigation, a report will be forwarded to Crown Counsel for determination of charges. Anyone who witnessed the events are requested to come forward to police to provide their information.

Woman accused of burning homes Dale Boyd Western News Staff

A trial is underway for the woman accused of burning three homes in Princeton displacing four residents from their homes in 2014. Ashley Patricia Gallagher pleaded not guilty to three counts of arson in relation to an inhabited property and three counts of arson damaging property in Penticton Supreme Court Tuesday. During opening arguments, Crown prosecutor John Swanson alleged Gallagher was in a “rocky” relationship with her boyfriend, Robert Cormack, at the time and threatened to set his snowmobile on fire during an argument. On the afternoon of March 27, 2014, Crown said that Cormack went to his mother’s home in Tulameen. Crown alleged that Gallagher told Cormack over the phone “if you don’t come home, I’m going to set fire to your snowmobile.” “At another point in time she threatened to take his property out of the house, into the driveway and burn it,” Swanson said. Crown alleged that Gallagher drove to confront Cormack in Tulameen, again threatening to burn Cormack’s belongings, with multiple witnesses present including Cormack’s mother and a mutual friend.

Eventually, Gallagher left the property at approximately 7 p.m. “Later that night, sometime between 10 and 10:30 (p.m.) the property at 322 Fenchurch (Ave.) catches fire,” Swanson said. Princeton RCMP and Princeton fire crews responded, but Swanson said the efforts to fight the fire were “largely restricted to making sure that the buildings immediately adjacent to those three didn’t burn. There was little that could be done to save the three buildings that were destroyed.” Swanson said the Crown’s case will rely entirely on identification evidence due to the lack of forensic evidence or eye witnesses. “This isn’t one of those cases where we arrest the suspect, we seize their clothing, we locate inflammable substances on their clothing, that kind of thing,” Swanson said. “The Crown’s identification evidence is going to be focused on the statements Ashley Gallagher made.” Crown alleged Gallagher phoned her mother later that evening and said she had done something “terrible” that police were looking for her and she may go to jail. Gallagher was arrested at her mother’s home in Vavenby. The Crown’s theory is that Gallagher intended to burn the snowmobile, but was reckless and allowed the residences, some

of which were occupied at the time, to catch fire. Gallagher’s defence counsel Don Campbell noted that it is normally his practice not to make an opening statement in a trial by judge alone, but noted that during the preliminary inquiry Crown was unable to illicit the crucial evidence from the witnesses. “It’s a circumstantial case relying on the relationship between my client and her boyfriend at the time, Robert Cormack, and the statements that she made,” Campbell said. Campbell noted that despite the Crown asking multiple times, Cormack, as well as other witnesses, did not confirm the statements that Gallagher is alleged to have made regarding burning Cormack’s belongings. “If their evidence changes from the preliminary inquiry I suspect that will be a very substantive issue for the trial,” Campbell said. Const. Dean Oliver testified when he arrived on scene the night of the fire he saw a shed fully engulfed in flame with residences partially engulfed. “There was a lot of smoke, a lot of confusion,” Oliver testified. Within an hour after his arrival on scene, the fire had progressed and “entirely engulfed” some of the residences. The trial continues Wednesday in Penticton Supreme Court.

Legal limbo on marijuana laws

Though it was an election promise, Justin Trudeau’s Liberals aren’t going to be able to legalize marijuana overnight. In fact, the legalization of pot might take longer than the four years they are guaranteed before the next federal election in Oct. 2019. Undoubtedly, the federal government would like to get started on this promise, since it’s worth millions of tax dollars every year. But when you consider what they already have on their plate, what with ISIS, Syrian refugees, assisted dying and, oh yes, the economy, it’s understandable that legalizing pot might not be the top item on the Liberals to-do list. Still, the promise was made, and with pot already legalized in Washington and Colorado, there is a certain expectation that it is a promise they will follow through on. That leaves our police and justice system in a bit of a legal limbo. All the existing prohibitions are still in force, but police have had a hard enough time enforcing those and getting punitive judgments without the concept of legalization hanging over their heads, in addition to the limited legalization of medicinal marijuana. And where there is a crack, there are opportunists looking to take advantage. Unregulated compassion clubs and dispensaries are springing up, not just in Penticton, but also in Vernon, Nanaimo and other communities. Medicinal marijuana is legal. But the interpretation of that law, which has seen marijuana storefronts open up across the country, needs to be clariﬁed. Legalization and setting up the associated processes may take years, but in the meantime, the RCMP, courts and even municiPENTICTON WESTERN palities need to know how to proceed. And this has to happen before more dollars are spent on what may prove unnecessary enforcement. Is a crackdown at this stage an effective use of resources? Instead, let’s set out a timeline of how this is going to happen and set some preliminary regulations for licensing and regulation of sales.

This is your province on weed With unlicensed marijuana dispensaries popping up in urban areas and thousands of unregulated medical licences for home growing still in legal limbo, the Trudeau government is starting work on its promise to legalize recreational use. Marijuana was a media darling in the recent election, but meeting in Vancouver with provincial ministers last week, federal health minister Jane Philpott found herself preoccupied with issues deemed more urgent. These include shifting our post-war acute hospital model to community primary care, tackling aboriginal health care needs, pooling pharmaceutical purchases to slow rising costs, and meeting an urgent Supreme Court of Canada directive to legalize assisted dying. At the closing news conference in Vancouver, Philpott was asked how recreational mari-

juana should be sold. Licensed medical growers want exclusive rights do it by mail as permitted by the Harper government, another measure forced by our high court. That would shut out the rash of supposedly medical storefronts, which city halls in Vancouver and elsewhere imagine they can regulate. Philpott said the question is “premature” and federal-provincial justice ministers were dealing with it at their meeting. Ottawa will have a “task force” too. Vancouver descended into a pot store free-forall due to benign neglect from council and police, and Victoria isn’t far behind. Vancouver Coun. Kerry Jang, a rare voice of reason in the Big Smoke, has protested dispensaries using street hawkers to attract young buyers, and pot stores setting up near schools. Other communities, more aware of their limitations, have resisted is-

suing business licences. One recent proposal in the Victoria suburb of View Royal came from a fellow who insisted marijuana extract had cured his cancer. This is typical of claims that proliferate on the Internet, and is one of many warning signs about dispensaries that put up red cross signs to sell pot products with exotic names. B.C. health minister Terry Lake was more forthcoming a few days earlier, responding to a Vancouver reporter who judged marijuana more interesting than his justannounced plan to hire 1,600 more nurses by the

end of March. Lake noted that Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne is keen to sell marijuana through the province’s monopoly liquor stores. B.C.’s government liquor store union has also endorsed this idea, forming an unlikely alliance with nonunion private stores to get in on the action. “There are public health ofﬁcials that I’ve talked to who say that the co-location of marijuana and liquor sales is not advisable from a public health perspective,” Lake said. “I think whatever we do it has to be highly regulated, quality control has to be excellent and above all, we must protect young people.” Yes, liquor stores check ID. But the notion that marijuana might be sold next to beer and vodka in government stores deserves sober second thought, and serious scientiﬁc work of the kind that has shown

damage to developing brains from teenage marijuana use. Of course all of this urban hand-wringing over pot stores ignores the de facto legalization that has existed across B.C. for decades. The Nelson Star had a funny story last week about a local woman’s discovery on Google Earth. Zooming in on area mountains, one ﬁnds not only the Purcell landmark Loki Peak, but also Weed Peak, Grow Op Peak, Cannabis Peak and Hydroponic Peak. Whatever the source of this cyber-prank, it could also be applied to other regions of B.C. For the record, I’ll restate my long-standing position that legalization is the only logical answer. I’ll say the same about other drugs that drive most B.C. crime, but that’s a subject for another day. Tom Fletcher is the legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Pay parking will present negative image to visitors Penticton City Council are exploring another way of irritating even more Penticton residents and visitors. To gain some revenue to replace that lost through other council initiatives, paid parking at Okanagan lakeshore and Skaha Lake Park is being considered. Council have been convinced that this bold step will have little or no adverse effects. They do acknowledge that the biggest impact of paid parking will fall on residents rather than visitors to Penticton. Residents accustomed to parking at either lakeshore for an enjoyable stroll, may in future have to feed a parking machine then keep track of time while enjoying their walk.

High priority list

Thank you for publishing Sheryl Ann Wilson’s letter (Western News, Jan. 22, Speaking the truth). Her detailed description of the situation (too often, the plight) of the disabled, needs to be widely known. What she did not talk about is the suspicious, penny-pinching attitude of the ministry, looking to cut-off necessary supplements for such things as medicines and transportation. All that this does, often, is transfer the cost to other branches of government, especially the health system, saving the taxpayer nothing, or even costing more. The government should be doing four things now: 1. Raising the basic disability cheque

tively small amount of revenue so badly that Penticton is prepared to frustrate residents who already pay through their taxes for the enjoyment of our lakes? Are we such a tourist magnet that we can afford to upset visitors who in many cases will choose not to pay to park?. These same visitors upset about an unwelcome travel experience will certainly share this with family and friends. Hopefully Penticton City Council will decide against this paid parking option because of the obvious negative impact.

Residents spending a few hours at the beach will have to have around $5 extra to feed the same machine. Visitors either used to free parking or just happy to have such a nice option, will certainly view Penticton in a different way. Visitors who actually pay for their parking will not do so happily. Visitors who ignore paid parking requirements have little to be concerned about. Collecting of out of province parking tickets is difficult. Towing offending vehicles will only add to the negative image of Penticton. It can be argued that the parking fees being considered are comparatively small. But do we really need this rela-

to match cost-of-living since the last raise. 2. Adding a small supplement in view of the rapidly rising cost of food. 3. Starting to build a lot of affordable housing, and adding a rental supplement until that housing comes on line, and 4. Instructing ministry workers to help disabled people get the supplements they qualify for, with a respectful attitude, taking into account that many with mental disabilities have great difficulty negotiating the system to find out what they are entitled to, and how to apply for it. Putting this high on the priority list would contribute far more to the life of the province than some of the current priorities.

Honourable actions

Condolences to Jake Kimberley and family upon the passing of his wife, Kate. Two days prior to Kate’s passing, Jake attended a celebration of life service at Haven Hill Retirement Centre to honour Muriel Franck, his longtime friend and watchdog during his time on City Council. This was truly an honorable deed, with an emotional eulogy delivered with class and style. It was my pleasure and honour to attend this service in memory of a great lady, Muriel Franck, and to hear an oration by Jake sharing some of his past memories of her. Thank you Jake.

Science of stupidity I have a very warped sense of humour because to understand the whole concept and method of madness we come across in our day-to-day encounters, one needs to be able to grasp what is right and what is downright stupidity. We, supposedly intelligent beings, are supposed to be able to distinguish between sensible and the science of stupidity. A prime example would be this ongoing controversy of the right-to-die legislation getting hashed out these days. Who in heaven’s name needs the permission of the courts or government for the right to end our life when it is they that (every waking day) encourage us by condoning, aiding and abetting the people by selling the very substance that will kill us and shorten our very lives they so voluminously deny us doing: that is to end the suffering and pain they delivered to us in the first place; tobacco, alcohol, drugs and gambling. Just about every country in the world participates in this activity; it’s all part of the great scheme of things. It keeps the growing population in check and above all the taxes it generates, keeps the economy flowing smoothly because heaven forbid should we all stop smoking, drinking and gambling, the whole world would be up dung creek without a paddle. If you look up hypocrite in the Webster’s dictionary it will say one who pretends to have virtues, feelings, qualities, that they do not posses. Now had I been the author of that book, I would have substituted hypocrite with government. That would have been more fitting, don’t you think? Andy Homan Penticton

Spelling it out for city council

Park, what park? Who needs to keep precious

green space? Expensive (medical and dental benefits for council members). Non-caring about what Penticton really is and what it means to people. Tax increases because of unnecessary spending. Infrastructure upgrades, whatever for. Cocky (push their ideas through). Tacky and frivolous (canopy lighting). Out of control, unnecessary spending (100 block Main Street). Not enough finances, but somehow enough for non-essentials. Carefree with taxpayers’ money (it’s not councillors’ money that’s being spent). Insensitive. Trustworthy and transparent — not. Y don’t they use their heads and common sense? Careless - Tourists are councillors’ main concerns, not the citizens of Penticton. Oblivious to their constituents’ concerns. Unwilling to listen to reason. No need to worry about firefighters fair pay. Who needs them away? Clouds (heads in). Ill-conceived and ill-advised plans — no due diligence done on proposed projects (hotel by the South Okanagan Events Centre). Lucky no recall for city council members — yet. Talk about wow factors to put Penticton on the map. Here’s hoping 2016 will be a more thoughtful and beneficial year for Penticton and it’s citizens. Kathy Krenn Penticton

Banners reborn with SCAC Sawyer Klassen Black Press

The Summerland Community Arts Council (SCAC) is providing the opportunity for artists to show their creativity with the community’s banners. Every year 158 banners are hung around Summerland from May to October, and this year the SCAC has chosen to retire 24 of them as they begin to show their age. The use of the banners won’t stop with their removal from the streets though, as the SCAC is hosting a community challenge where artists can take one of the banners and use it however they want to create an art piece. The challenge is called Banners Reborn 2.0, and is the second time they have done this, with the first coming in 2013. With a $20 deposit that is returned when the art piece with the banner is turned in for display, artists can receive a banner to create whatever type of art piece they want. As the SCAC put it, there is no theme for the pieces, and the only limit is imagination. The deadline for turning the banners in is Feb. 12, and they will be put on display in a gallery from Feb. 18 through March 12. There is a $100 prize for the community choice winner, and the banners are available on a first come, first serve basis. To get a banner, either call 250-494-4494 or pick one up from the SCAC Monday through Friday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Throwdown stepping up

#108-1475 Fairview Road PENTICTON

The third annual Okanagan Valley Throwdown, fuelled by Muscle MLK Canada, raised the bar. “It was definitely our most successful,” said Lyndie Hill, co-owner of Hoodoo Adventures, which copresents the CrossFit event with Evolution Athletics. After filling its registration with 308 (22 from Penticton) athletes in less than 15 minutes, Hill attributed the success to more experience, the crowd they attracted and partnerships with sponsors. As well, the level of athletes was beyond their expectations. Concetta D’Amato of Abbotsford said the skill of the athletes was higher this year. “People just get better and better, work on your skills and technique,” said D’Amato, who finished fourth in the very tight women’s competitive division, her second time competing in the Okanagan Valley Throwdown. “For me, it’s more of an individual challenge. It’s a psychological game for me. I know I can do everything.” Hill said it has to do with the fact the event is getting more well known, which has also led to them adding an event in Abbotsford on Oct. 22-23. “We didn’t have a single negative thing said. Everything was very positive. Everybody was very happy,” she said. Bryce Hafso of Primal Performance (Vancouver), which finished second in

the competitive team division, was amazed how the event was put on. “It’s by far the best venue of any CrossFit competition I’ve been in, that’s including the Olympic Oval.” said Hafso, who first watched his sister compete in the event. “I just love the way they set it up. The jumbotron, so you can actually watch the heats ahead of you, usually that’s a big thing when you’re competing.” Hafso said that allows athletes to pick up tips on strategy and pacing while warming up. He also felt the timing of exercises timed out perfectly. The Okanagan Valley Throwdown was also well sponsored to him with Muscle MLK Canada giving free supplements to everybody. “First time I’ve done it and I’m really happy I did,” he said. Nelson’s Leo Grypma has competed in all three Throwdowns and said he is always excited to come because organizers put on a great show and the competition is good. “It’s a fun weekend,” said Grypma, who won the competitive men’s di-

vision. “I just love competing. I love CrossFit. I always want to get better.” He loves the rush and atmosphere, saying there is nothing like it. He also admits the workouts are hard, but said it is as tough as athletes want it. “Push yourself hard, you will get rewarded,” said Grypma. Summerland’s Chris Leardo, who competed in the masters women 45-plus division, made her debut and finished second among six athletes. After volunteering the previous years, she knew she could do it and loved it, especially the camaraderie among the athletes. “Everyone just helps everybody up. Picks you up. Wipes off your sweat for you and you just keep going,” she said. The Okanagan Valley Throwdown doesn’t enjoy the success it has without the tireless work of crew, from volunteers to scorekeepers. “It’s a huge effort from the community,” said Hill. “It couldn’t happen without all those people helping us.”

Tin Cup draws in good times Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

The 2016 Edward Jones Tin Cup keeps getting better. Teams told organizer Matt Tolley that the bonspiel was probably one of the best ones. “We had a really good year. A lot of fun,” said Tolley. “I really enjoyed the people. We just had a great group of people here. We had a lot of out of town teams. Yes it’s serious, but at the end of the day, everyone came here to have a good time.” A new champ was also crowned as Kelowna’s Garry Gelowitz topped Penticton’s Blaine Black, 7-4. Gelowitz’s rink featured Penticton’s Cy Gladish and Craig McLeod, and was rounded out by Tim MacIntosh. “It was fantastic,” said Gladish, winning his fourth Tin Cup. “It was a good match. We jumped out front early. We were able to hang on. That was pretty exciting for us.” Gelowitz and his rink have played together all season as they strive to qualify for the masters national championship in Digsby, N.S. Gladish said the Tin Cup attracted many good teams. “It seems to get better every year,” said Gladish, who lost the Tin Cup last year to the Schoolboys, who won it in back-toback years. Summerland’s Steve Clement played in his 12th Tin Cup. He keeps coming back because it’s fun. “It’s in our blood. It’s a great spiel,” said Clement. “They have great prizes,

very good competition. A really well run bonspiel.” Clement added there is a great atmosphere and most of the teams come every year. Of the 40 competing, 28 returned. One of the highlights of the weekend was the casino night with great prizes won such as Seattle Seahawks and Toronto Blue Jays tickets. Grant Olson of Kamloops played for the first time and his team a great time. “That’s why we came down,” he said. “There is a lot of good teams. Played a team in the morning from Saskatchewan. That’s a long way to come for a spiel. We were here for fun, not necessarily to win.” They soaked in the camaraderie while hanging out and meeting the other people. “That’s what curling is about,” said Olson. The other aspect making the Tin Cup a success was community support. Tolley said they received a lot from different sponsors as well as the volunteers and praised the community for that.

The Penticton Vees are shooting for their sixth straight win, and third at the Nicola Valley Arena in Merritt Wednesday. In their previous two visits, the Vees (39-5-0-1) doubled up the Centennials (15-26-3-1) 8-4, then defeated them 6-2 on Jan.15 to start their most recent win streak. In that win, rookie Taylor Ward put up two goals and an assist, while Owen Sillinger and afﬁliate player Liam Lytton had three-assist performances. Zachary Driscoll turned aside 31 shots. Vees forward Dixon Bowen, who scored a goal in that game, said things happen quicker in the Nicola Valley Arena. He added more accountability is required in the defensive zone and creating their own energy. “It’s usually hard fought games in that rink,” said Bowen. “I though we had done pretty well in that rink. If you just work hard and take the body, I think that leads to a lot of success.” That has worked for him. Forward Demico Hannoun said they need to maintain their play of late, using speed and back checking hard. He said doing those things makes it easier on the defence. The Vees are coming off a 3-2 win over the Wild in Wenatchee on Jan. 23. De-

spite Scott Conway ﬁnding the back of the net in the opening minute, Hannoun said the Vees started slow. Their play got better in the second and third period

in what he described as a fast-paced matchup. Also scoring for the Vees were Colton Poolman and Sillinger, the winner. “I thought we played

well as a team,” he said. The difference from their ﬁrst meeting, a 6-1 Penticton win in the South Okanagan Events Centre, was that the Wild

were quicker and harder on pucks. With a crowd of nearly 4,000 behind them in the Town Toyota Center, the Wild were also pumped.

Penticton Winter Games quickly approaching Contributed

The Penticton 2016 BC Winter Games kick off in exactly one month and 1,738 of B.C.’s best emerging high performance talents (including coaches) have registered and are ready to be part of this celebration of sport and community which runs February 25 to 28. The 1,225 athletes are from every corner of the province and have trained to earn a place to represent their zone at the Games. Competing in 17 different sports, the athletes are an average of 14 years old and for most, this will be their ﬁrst experience at a multi-sport Games. Special Olympians will compete in basketball and ﬁgure skating and athletes with a disability will compete in wheelchair basketball and para cross country skiing.

These athletes will be supported by 333 coaches and 180 officials who have earned their certification in order to provide the best knowledge and expertise to the athletes and the competition. Volunteers in Penticton have been preparing for the past 18 months to host the Games, the fourth time this community has done so. There will be over 1,800 volunteers working to ensure the participants have exceptional competition and a first-rate experience with opening and closing ceremonies, special events, and wonderful hospitality. “Penticton is where the BC Games began in 1978, and we are so pleased to be back and benefiting from the history of sport and event hosting in this community,” said Kelly Mann, president and CEO of the BC Games Society in a press release. “The athletes, coaches, and

ofﬁcials coming to these BC Winter Games are taking their ﬁrst step towards future national and international level competitions and the expertise of the volunteers will make a mark on their journey.” The BC Winter Games has been the starting point for many athletes who have gone on to higher levels of sport. Over 50 per cent of Team BC athletes at the 2015 Canada Winter Games were BC Games alumni. Eighteen alumni were part of Team Canada at the 2014 Olympic and Paralympic Games including Kelowna’s Kelsey Serwa (Ski Cross), Summerland’s Justin Kripps (Bobsleigh), and Josh Dueck of Vernon in Para Alpine.

Rockslides causing more issues on Highway 33 2013 when rocks, some as large as cars, slid down the slope and onto the road about nine kilometres west of town, damaging two vehicles in the process. This was followed by six more smaller slides on the stretch of highway that year and further slides, resulting in road closures and damaged vehicles, were reported at the site in May and June of 2014.

Tara Bowie Black Press

It sounded like an explosion as dozens of rocks, some as big as 15-feet tall, came crashing down during the morning of Jan. 22. Local resident James Scott Goll, who owns Digging Dogs Farm caught the slide on video. The slide occurred around 9:45 a.m. Friday morning on Highway 3 near the Red Bridge in Keremeos. The video was uploaded to his Facebook page and shared by locals and many out of towners. “Holy Hannah that was a big rock slide, man,” Goll can be heard saying as the rocks kick up dust streams as they speed down the mountainside. One of the larger rocks came barreling down the mountain, coming to a rest just inches from the highway. “Wow, wow. The sound man,” Goll could be heard saying in the video titled ‘Eeegaats!!! The sound was unbelievable, was like huge explosion.’

DozenS of RockS, some as big as 15-feet tall, came crashing down during the morning of Jan. 22 on Highway 3 near the Red Bridge in keremeos.

Tara Bowie/Black Press

Another video posted online by another witness shows a transport truck speeding along the highway as the massive boulder comes to a stop in the catchment area by the roadway. Some area residents told Black Press that the friction caused by the rocks clashing with each other as they came down the mountain caused sparks and at times red glowing areas. The highway was not closed as a result of the slide. Orange cones were placed around the boulder.

Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure geotechnical engineers are conducting assessments to ensure the highway is safe for drivers. Warmer weather and

freeze/thaw conditions are resulting in more rockfalls. Rockslides are typical this time of year. The four-lane highway was closed for several days in January

Les Dames D’Escoffier B.C. Chapter (Les Dames) is once again offering scholarships for B.C. women with a desire to begin training in the culinary, beverage or hospitality fields, and for women already skilled in these fields who seek to further their expertise. Two types of scholarships are offered – sponsored scholarships to a specific course or educational institution and monetary scholarships to assist the recipient to attend the course/institution of her choice. “Supporting women in our industry through scholarships is one of our primary mandates. We’re thrilled to be able to support women in furthering their education. It is so satisfying to see them go on to successful careers,” said scholarship co-chair Kathy McAree. Among the sponsored scholarships are a two or three-day workshop at one of the world’s leading chocolate academies — Barry Callebaut’s Chocolate Academy in Montreal. Local schools offering sponsored scholarships include The Pastry Training Centre of Vancouver, Northwest Culinary Academy of Vancouver, and Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts (PICA). Scholarships are open to B.C. women of all ages who are pursuing careers in food, wine, hospitality, nutrition, food technology or other related areas. Past recipients have included Catherine Coulombe of VinPerdu winery in Oliver, Chef Evelynn Takoff at RauDZ Regional Table in Kelowna and Aman Dosanj of Poppadoms, also in Kelowna. Deadline for application is Feb.28. In 2015, Les Dames BC awarded 22 scholarships valued at $21,082.

The family of Linda Hooley wishes to announce that she has left us. We are devastated. Linda was the best mother, grandmother, wife, or friend a person could hope for: unfailingly supportive, non-judgmental, hard-working, wise, loyal, and loving. She had a quiet yet wicked sense of humour. Linda taught by example, and we tried to practice these traits in our own lives. She was fiercely loved by: Jack, her devoted husband; her daughter Vivian (Perry); her daughter Lisa (Bob); and her grandchildren Daniel (Kristina), Christopher (Robyn), Justin (Sarah), Patrick, and Katreena. We are not the only ones the list is long. We will miss her forever. There is so much to say about Linda and her life that we have chosen to say little...for now. Thanks to all Linda’s friends, especially her paddling teammates, who were so selfless and helpful. We will host a Celebration to honour Linda during the summer. Anyone wishing to attend may contact Vivian (250-434-6455). Home Address: 605-6759 Willingdon Ave. Burnaby, BC

Fascinating history of the Games

MuseuM curator Dennis oomen looks over one of the pieces of the newest exhibit highlighting the 1936 summer olympics in Berlin, Germany and was created by the Vancouver Holocaust education centre.

Mark Brett/Western News

The Penticton Museum is getting into the spirit of the Games, though they’ve chosen to cast their view all the way back to 1936 and the Summer Olympics in Berlin. Though these games happened 80 years ago, museum curator Dennis Oomen said they still have lessons for today. “What you had was democratic countries trying to uphold an Olympic ideal of cooperation and sports-

manship and peaceful competition and they are running straight up against the Nazi government … Adolf Hitler and his people,” said Oomen. “It threw a bunch of challenges down for the Olympic organizers, for the athletes and everybody else.” More Than Just Games: Canada and the 1936 Olympics is a travelling exhibition created by the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre. It will be showing in the museum’s temporary exhibit

area until the end of March, with an opening reception on Feb. 4 from 4 to 7 p.m. “It’s a study of what happened during the 1936 Olympics. The Nazis had been in power since 1933,” said Oomen. Much of the problems came from the Nazi persecution of Jewish, gypsy and other minorities. Hitler saw the games as an opportunity to promote his ideals of racial supremacy, and there was an attempt to prevent Jewish athletes from participating which failed when other nations threatened to boycott the games. “For any sort of international co-operation, you will always run into these problems. You put together a coalition of countries to achieve a goal and you have to look at whether you are asking human rights violators to participate, and under what conditions,” said Oomen, noting the 1980 Moscow Olympics, when their invasion of Afghanistan prompted a Games boycott. “These things are in the papers all the time. To this day, international sporting competitions can be extremely sensitive around the participation of Middle Eastern countries, Israeli athletes,” said Oomen. “In the end, the 1936 Olympics were a bit of a triumph for Nazi

Germany, because they did what they set out to do,” continued Oomen. “It became a showcase for Nazi Germany, they won lots of medals and they sort of persuaded lots of people that they are not so bad after all.” Hitler’s idea of promoting Aryan racial supremacy suffered a setback when Jesse Owens a black U.S. athlete made the biggest impression, winning four gold medals in track and field events. “They tried, but you’ve got guys like Jesse Owens and all these fantastic athletes, Korean and Japanese athletes, all participating and winning golds and silver left right and centre,” said Oomen. “But there is a lot of myths associated with that and other things to do with the Olympics. This exhibit addresses those as well.” Canada and the 1936 Olympics covers these events in an image and text-based exhibit, bringing forward an event in history that still has a resonance for our times, according to Oomen. “In the broad sense, the temporary exhibit area is about bringing in different exhibits that cover topics that are not normally covered in our permanent exhibits, which are devoted to the history of Penticton,” said Oomen. “It’s a fascinating story.”

Some fraud is organized and orchestrated by a group of individuals, namely, staged accidents and stolen vehicle rings. Other types of fraud are less obvious. Fraud like this includes exaggerating the extent of an injury, misrepresenting a previous medical condition or slanting the situation when reporting a claim. It’s not unheard of for people to embellish their claim by including vehicle damage unrelated to the crash, or to claim they can’t work when they’re actually back on the job. These tactics may not make the news, but the costs add up and come out of all of our pockets – we all end up paying for those who cheat the system.

Fraudulent claims take a toll on B.C. drivers

While most B.C. drivers are honest when it comes to making insurance claims, there are a few that are hurting things for the rest of us in the province. Industry studies estimate that about 10 to 20 per cent of all insurance claims contain an element of fraud or exaggeration. Applying those estimates here means fraud is costing us up to $600 million per year, or more than $100 annually on every auto insurance policy. Fraud cheats everyone and comes in all shapes and sizes.

ICBC combats fraud with their Special Investigation Unit, which last year looked at more than 5,000 claims les. This includes a cyber unit that employs information publicly available on the internet and social media to investigate suspected fraudulent claims. They’re in the process of increasing their focus on investigations, including training and analytics technology that ags patterns and predictors of fraud. By stepping up efforts to reduce fraudulent and exaggerated claims, along with managing injury claims costs, ICBC is working to take pressure off rising insurance rates. Fraud. It cheats us all.
