Police will be out in force over the holidays to target impaired drivers Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

Cpl. Ted Manchulenko has seen and heard it all when it comes to drivers under the influence getting caught behind the wheel. After many years as a member of the RCMP and having been on the scene of horrible accidents caused by drinking and driving, there is also nothing more frustrating to him than hearing another excuse from an impaired driver. “It’s extremely difficult because of those reasons. We see the aftermath and it is not just the one person, it affects everyone — families, emergency services that show up, the people that are driving by and have to witness it. It doesn’t just affect that one person that decides to take a drink and make his way home or wherever they are going to,” said Manchulenko. “It just doesn’t seem to be getting through to people, or to as many as we would like it to.” Despite results in a government-released survey that shows 30 per cent of drivers say the new impaired laws prompted a change in their behaviour, Manchulenko said the first weekend of road checks showed otherwise. Over the course of an eight-hour shift in Penticton on Dec. 1, RCMP and the South Okanagan Traffic Services took six impaired drivers off the road, made one drug seizure, two liquor seizures, found three people driving with no insurance and 11 people stopped that were unlicensed drivers. “It was very strange and in a very short time period. We were actually quite surprised because it was fairly early in the season,” said Manchulenko. “It is quite a high number. I can’t figure out why people aren’t getting the message of having alcohol when they are operating motor vehicles, and the unlicensed drivers was also a surprise because it is pretty straight forward that you are supposed to have it with you.” Those found driving under the influence can face the loss of their licence, vehicle and about $600 in penalties if they blow a “warn” on an approved screening device at the roadside and more than $4,000 if they blow a “fail.” Manchulenko said a vehicle can also be impounded, and you have to pay to get your licence back. “Monetarily it can add up pretty quickly, not to mention the inconvenience. If you need your vehicle, and most of us do to get to work or the grocery store, the inconvenience factor is huge,” he added.

PENTICTON RCMP had surprising results following their first weekend of road checks. Mounties are using new tactics this season to keep the roads safe and expect to be setup throughout the week and all over the South Okanagan.

In order to push the message to not drink and drive, Manchulenko said RCMP will be using more unmarked vehicles. He said drivers can expect to see roadside checks every weekend from now to just after Christmas. And don’t think just because it’s a weekday, or you live outside the city limits, you won’t get caught. “We are taking a little bit of a different approach this year in that we aren’t going to be specific to the weekends, you might see us on a Wednesday afternoon. It throws people off and some people are surprised to see us at that particular time but we want to keep everybody on their toes and let them know that we are out there. Simply thinking because you had the office party on a Tuesday afternoon and you can slip home after having four or five drinks, well you might be surprised,” said Manchulenko. “I think that is part of the solution. If people can keep this on their mind and make better choices that is good. Then they also don’t have to have any involvement with the police or sanctions placed upon them. They get home safe, their family is safe and it is better for everyone.” Some choices offered within Penticton for those who have consumed alcohol and cannot drive home include several hotels in town that offer a special rate for people attending Christmas parties, or simply calling a cab to take you home safely. Amar Kahlon, who owns Courtesy and Klassic Kabs, said they have

their full ﬂeet of 19 cars out during the height of Christmas season and have back up drivers standing by in case a ﬂood of calls comes in, or the weather turns ugly. “A lot of companies use our Christmas party service as well, setting up a safe ride home ahead of time for employees. Cabs are arranged accordingly and we can cater to all those people for a ride home and we service the whole valley down to Osoyoos and up to Summerland and Naramata,” said Kahlon. This year marks the 35th anniversary of the CounterAttack program, that was launched this year in Penticton on Dec. 1. ICBC reports that in the year before CounterAttack road checks started, more than 300 people were killed in impaired-related crashes every year in the province. Since 1977, an average of 113 lives are still lost each year and impaired driving remains the second leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C. Regionally, the Southern Interior accounts for 36 of those lives per year. RCMP said decoys such as popping gum or mints in your mouth, drenching yourself in cologne or perfume or chugging water won’t mask the smell of alcohol. They also remind drivers that there is only one way to sober up and that is time. Drinking coffee, sports drinks or eating greasy, salty food might make someone feel better but it doesn’t make you sober. RCMP said only time and your metabolism can take care of that.

Doctors make case for PRH expansion Joe Fries Western News Staff

Doctors have prescribed a major expansion project to cure the shortage of space that plagues Penticton’s hospital, but their plea for help this week failed to produce a funding commitment from the province. About 25 medical professionals turned out Wednesday for a luncheon hosted by the local B.C. Liberal riding association that featured Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid as the guest speaker. The minister was in the city for a tour of Penticton Regional Hospital, which is slated for an as-yet unfunded $300-million expansion to improve outpatient services. “We are here as community physicians telling you and representing to you that it’s overdue,” said Dr. Susan Tebbutt, a pathologist who chairs the hospital’s medical advisory committee and was among a handful of doctors who pitched the project to the minister. She said 14 outpatient beds were added to PRH in 1989, but that space is now used to handle overflow from the emergency room, so outpatient services are simply offered wherever there’s room. “We can’t cope anymore,” Tebbutt said. Dr. Brad Raison said the proposed addition of a four-storey ambulatory care tower to bolster outpatient services would complement what’s offered at hospitals in larger centres. “We’re never going to be able to

compete with the kind of care they can give. What we can do is state-ofthe-art diagnostics and ambulatory care services,” said Raison, an ER physician. The plan shouldn’t require more in-patient beds or staff, he added, although there will be increased expenses, such as heating and cleaning costs, that come with the expansion. It will also make life easier for

patients, said Dr. Sarah Broder, a respirologist and past chief of staff at the hospital. Broder said most of her patients are seniors, half of whom require supplemental oxygen that’s delivered from a tank they tow around with them. She urged the health minister to consider those people while visiting the facility. “I’d really like you to imagine

pulling five or 10 pounds behind you and (note) how far you have to walk for four standard tests that would be done,” Broder told MacDiarmid. “And if this ambulatory care facility is built, what will happen is (patients) will walk in one door, go to one spot and be able to get everything that they require in one place,” Broder continued. “It is efficient, it is appropriate

and it is what our community really needs.” MacDiarmid said after her tour of PRH that she found the local doctors’ pitches “compelling.” But she said it would be “very unfair” to provide a date when the government will decide on funding the expansion because outside forces, like an urgent need at another facility, could impact the decision. “We will work on it. It’s clearly a priority, and not just for Penticton. Provincially, we understand this is something we need to get to,” she said. MacDiarmid, a former family doctor, also noted a handful of other B.C. hospitals are about the same age as PRH, which opened in 1951, and also in need of upgrades. “But I’m certainly going to go back and have a really careful look at all the capital needs. I understand that this one’s big, and the only thing is: How many other ones are as big or bigger?” she said. The South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation has already committed to fundraising $20 million for the expansion, while the Okanagan-Similkameen Regional Hospital District has pledged to come up with another $120 million. That leaves a $160-million funding gap for the province to fill. As conceived, the four-storey ambulatory care tower would feature a medical school, surgical suites, outpatient clinics and an oncology centre. The plan also calls for a new five-storey parkade to go up beside the tower.

Osoyoos man guilty of gruesome sexual attack Kristi Patton Western News Staff

Brian Louie said he is not the “Hannibal Lecter character” he has been made out to be, despite being found guilty of a brutal assault on a woman. Judge Meg Shaw found the 34-year-old man guilty of aggravated sexual assault and assault causing bodily harm for the May 20, 2012 incident in Oliver where he bit a woman’s genitals causing a severed artery and beat her up “This assault could only be described as an incredible betrayal and an act of power, aggression and control that must be condemned in the strongest terms,” said Shaw. Louie claimed the bite was an accident. “I’m not a vampire, or a zombie, it was purely accidental,” he said during his testimony

on Thursday at the Penticton provincial courthouse. Louie said he had been on an alcohol-andcocaine-fuelled binge in the days leading up to the assault and had only caught about five to seven hours of sleep over three days. He said he consumed several grams of cocaine during that time and even in the early morning hours before he assaulted the woman after a party. “I was getting tired and what works when you’re tired? Cocaine, right?” said Louie. He said things seemed to be going well with the woman that night, although parts of it were blurry to him, and when the other partygoers left or went to bed the two began to get intimate. Under cross-examination, Crown counsel Vern Frolick questioned if the reason for the assault was jealousy, Louie denied that and stated again it was an accident.

“It was meant to be a playful pinch. I’ve done it before,” he said. Medical evidence from the Crown showed the injury was definitely a human bite. Louie said he remembers going to kiss the woman after performing oral sex on her and thinking that something was wrong and the woman then “freaking out.” “I didn’t mean to do that and said it verbally. I’m pretty sure I told her that,” said Louie. He said the party hostess was lying when she earlier testified she witnessed Louie beating the woman. He denied ever kicking the woman and dragging her down a set of stairs, however, on cross-examination he admitted to defending himself by punching her. Louie also questioned the court on why there were no photos of his injuries taken, claiming he had scratches, bumps and bruises

on his head, neck and arms. Crown counsel suggested that Louie suffered those injuries when he jumped out of a window from a friend’s twostorey house after the assault. Throughout the trial Louie interrupted his lawyer with outbursts in court, including asking when he was going to get his turn to tell his side of the story. On Thursday, when he got the chance, he proceeded to call the woman a “villain” and “drama queen.” He painted a different picture for himself. “As much as you want me to be this Hannibal Lecter character, I am actually a good guy and a good father,” said Louie. Louie has been in custody since being arrested in May. His lawyer asked for a pre-sentence report, psychiatric assessment and Gladue report to be completed before sentencing at a yet-to-be-determined date.

School using breathalyzer Pen High principal plans to test students’ sobriety at after-hours functions Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Administrators planned to give breathalyzer tests to students attending Thursday’s winter formal at Penticton Secondary School, despite objections from a parent group that’s worried about a lack of policy to regulate the device’s first-ever use there. Principal Alan Stel said he wants to use the breathalyzer not because of any specific incidents, but simply to protect student safety at events like dances where a few intoxicated teenagers can ruin the fun for everyone. “If kids are going to come here for something after hours,” he said, administrators have a duty to them and their parents to ensure “that it’s going be safe and that we’re going to put every precaution in place.” Stel, who’s in his first year at Pen High, plans to train himself and three vice-principals on use of the $500 breathalyzer through an online course. He said he’s used similar devices at every other school he’s worked at during his 10 years as an administrator and found them to be most effective as deterrents. “I haven’t had an incident where I’ve had a kid come to school under the influence to a social function when they knew that device was present.” Because it’s such an effective deterrent, Stel added, he won’t use it at every event. But when he does, every student who passes through the doors will be screened. Those whose samples indicate the presence of alcohol will have their parents called, he continued, and if a threat to safety emerges then police will also be notified. The principal said Thursday’s dance would provide a trial run with the breathalyzer ahead of a full consultation with the school’s parent advisory committee, the next meeting of which is in January. “I don’t know what my decision will be,” Stel said, “but I’d certainly like to hear from parents who have concerns about it.” PAC president Daryl Clarke said his group is concerned because it hasn’t seen a breathalyzer policy that spells out exactly how the device will be used and maintained, and what will happen to students who are found to be intoxicated. “We’re not totally opposed to it being used, but right now there’s too many checks and balances that don’t seem to have been done,” Clarke said. “Also, in Canadian society you are innocent until proven guilty and this seems to be pointing a finger saying you’re all guilty until proven innocent.” Clark said school trustees should be the ones making decisions on things like breathalyzer use. “I definitely think there should be a district-wide policy and not an individual school can say it’s up to them what they want to do. This is a bigger issue.” Okanagan Skaha School District superintendent Wendy Hyer said at Monday’s board meeting that principals have the authority, and are encouraged, to set policies for their own schools, so long as they consult with parent and student groups.

PeNtictoN SecoNdary principal alan Stel with the breathalyzer he hopes to begin using at school social events to protect student safety. the school’s parent advisory committee has concerns about the plan and wants more information on the device’s intended use.

“I don’t believe in making rules that everyone has to follow when they’re not necessarily necessary,” Hyer said. School board chair Ginny Manning said trustees hadn’t discussed the matter and hadn’t taken a position on it. Linda Worden, a Grade 11 student who’s involved with Pen High’s leadership program, thinks the presence of a breathalyzer at school functions could be a good thing. “If a group of teenagers comes to a school event intoxicated, oftentimes there will be consequences for the whole group. It’s kind of like a safety thing. And it’s not really fair to the rest of us who don’t show up drunk,” she said. “I’m sure there are some kids out there who may feel (the breathalyzer) is a privacy invasion, but personally, I couldn’t care less.” In July, the board of the Kamloops-Thompson School District adopted a formal policy on breathalyzers, which had been in use there for the previous decade without written guidelines. The policy allows trained school staff to demand breath samples from students at any time during normal school hours or extra-curricular events. Students who refuse to provide breath samples may be presumed intoxicated.

Fire devastates family Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

Escaping with barely the clothes off their back, a Cawston family is still in shock after losing everything they own in a fire. Hugh and Debbie Stephenson woke up around midnight on Tuesday to a thick smoke filling their house. They quickly grabbed what they could and got their adult son Scott, who has special needs, out the door. By the time they looked behind them, flames had started to emerge from their home. “My mom couldn’t really see anything but tried to grab a jacket and a purse. She was in pajamas and put on some mismatched shoes. My dad found a pair of coveralls to throw on, some mismatched shoes and a hat. My brother got out with a hoodie and sweats on,” said Georgie Crickett, daughter of the couple who lives in Penticton. “They are safe and healthy and that is good, but they are feeling a little bit lost having lived there for over 24 years.” Hugh tried to go back in and get access to some water to try and suppress the fire but couldn’t get it to turn on. He then ran to the back of the mobile unit to find a hose but it was dark and the smoke so thick he couldn’t find it. Keremeos volunteer firefighters were forced to haul water from the nearest hydrant to supply a portable tank, and 17 firefighters fought the stubborn blaze into the daylight hours. Firefighter D’Arcy Bridgeman said they had difficulty getting into the centre of the building, hindered as well by a number of trees in close proximity that were scorched in the fire. The family of three, that

didn’t have fire insurance, watched as the home they rented for many years disappeared before their eyes. Using social media’s power, the family’s daughter set up a Facebook page to ask friends if they had any household items to donate to her parents, could assist in finding them a place to rent when things settle down or even help foster their dog until then. She did not expect the response she got. “I can’t believe it. People who don’t even know me or my parents heard about it and want to help. It is just amazing,” said Crickett. She added her mom has sat in tears over the outpouring from the community dropping off household items for the family or simply a bag of clothes. “They aren’t materialistic people, they are down to earth and appreciate having the basics in life. She felt so bad about people wanting to give to them when there are

so many in need, but I reminded her they are in need right now,” said Crickett. The fire happened on Hugh’s 60th birthday, an age where many are settling down with what they have in retirement. Hugh is now starting from scratch. Many on the family’s Facebook group — Penticton fire victims need donations please — have offered replacement items to the 22-year-old special needs man. Scott is a huge Vees fan, plays with the special needs team the UppderDeck Vees and is quite active. He lost many of his favourite items including a Sidney Crosby and Team Canada jersey. While the family is planning on sorting through what has been donated so far to them this weekend, Crickett said there is also a trust account set up at TD Bank. Anyone wanting to donate to it can do so at any TD branch by using the account number 92856162564.

Province looks to lock up jail work Western News Staff

The B.C. government is now officially looking for companies to help build, finance and maintain the proposed Okanagan Regional Correctional Centre. On Wednesday, the province issued a request for qualifications that will allow it to short-list up to three companies that are capable of delivering the jail through a public-private partnership. The chosen suitors will then be asked to submit proposals to design, build, partially finance and maintain the new jail, according to a press release issued this week.

Man sentenced to time served for entering woman’s hotel room and threatening a police officer Kristi Patton Western News Staff

The Annual S.S. Sicamous

OPEN TIL 7PM

Spending the past five months in jail is all the time that will be served by a man who invited himself into an open hotel room in Penticton and uttered a threat to an RCMP officer. Luke Slubowski, 42, pled guilty to being unlawfully in a dwelling or house and uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm at the Penticton courthouse on Wednesday negating the need for a trial that was scheduled to begin. A woman complained to RCMP on July 12 that an unknown man, later identified as Slubowski, entered her room at the Mayfair Motel after she had left the door open because the air conditioning was broken. Crown counsel said Slubowski walked in and made some threatening comments to the complainant, who had to ask him to leave several times before he obliged. Slubowski subsequently returned to her room and was chased away by the motel manager. Later that evening the woman was at Skaha Beach at a bonfire and Slubowski made further threatening comments. He also threatened the arresting RCMP officer.

“Your vest won’t save you. I’m going to put a bullet through you when I get out of here. I know where you live,” said Crown counsel Mallory Treddenick, repeating the comment Slubowski made to the Mountie. As part of a joint submission by defence counsel Michael Welsh and the Crown, one count of sexual assault and two other counts of uttering threats were stayed. Welsh provided the court a letter Slubowski wrote apologizing to the officer and admitted his client was intoxicated that day and does not recall what he said to the complainant. Welsh added his client, who is a recovering alcoholic that had fallen off the wagon just months prior to the incident, had consumed about 18 beers that day. Slubowski indicated he is going to Grand Forks to live with his parents. Judge Meg Shaw sentenced the man to five months time served and ordered him to 15 months of probation. She also included that he is not to be within 25 metres of the RCMP officer’s residence, have no contact with the complainant or her friend and to not be in Penticton unless he is passing through. Slubowski was granted 48 hours in Penticton to find a bus to the Kootenays, and despite stating he could stay overnight with a friend in Okanagan Falls, the judge asked that he stay in a hotel in the north end of Penticton given the incident took place near Skaha Beach.

Memorial Arena repairs could blow roof off budget Steve Kidd Western News Staff

Roofs all over the city are going to get fixed this year. At least on some city-owned buildings. In the annual facilities budget, acting city manager Chuck Loewen listed several city buildings that required extensive roof repairs, including those at city yards, the museum, the yacht and tennis club and the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre. But topping

the list, at least pricewise, is Memorial Arena. “There have been leaking problems with the roof,” said Loewen “That’s why we brought this forward.” However, Loewen told council that for 2013, they were only budgeting $30,000 in the annual facilities capital budget for an assessment of the roof, which would also provide the necessary detail to include in a request for quotes. “The roof, a few years

ago, was projected to be about a $1.6, $1.7 million replacement. We are at the point where we should be replacing it,” said Loewen. “The complication here, is the beams and the structure within the building that may need replacement as well, not just the outer shell.” Coun. Helen Konanz, however, questioned spending $30,000 on top of the cost to replace the roof, wondering if it couldn’t all be done in a

request for proposals process. “I just have a difficult time putting $30,000 into it. If we put out an RFP for the roof and it ends up being $2 million or more, we can go to the public and ask if they really want to spend that much,” said Konanz. “I think that the public is going to have a tough time spending $2 million on Memorial Arena right now, just for the roof.” Coun. John Vassilaki spoke in favour of the

Election brings change to band council Western News Staff

There will be some familiar voices and new ones at the Penticton Indian Band council table in the new year along with some surprising absences. On Wednesday, the band held an election to select eight councillors to join Chief John Kruger for the next four years. Kruger was reelected to his position in a separate election on Oct. 24. Caxasket Joseph Pierre, who was elected as the band’s youngest councillor in 2008, was returned

to his seat at the table, leading the polls with 165 votes. “Elections are a very humbling experience and I would like to thank my community for re-electing me for another four years,” said Pierre in a message posted to Facebook, adding that he was surprised and happy to have received such strong support. “I am very happy to be able to continue the work I have been doing.” But Joan Phillip, wife of Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, is not returning to the council table, nor is Laurie Wilson, who held the social de-

velopment portfolio. Joan Gabriel, who held the health and wellness portfolio, chose not to run for reelection. Newcomers Clint George (160), Dolly Kruger (142) and Smukaxen Inez Pierre (139) will be joining Pierre at the council table, along with Travis Kruger (161), Tim Lezard (137), Clinton Gabriel (128) and Kevin Gabriel (124). At the band’s councillor nomination meeting on Oct. 30, 15 people accepted nominations but three withdrew before polling, leaving a field of 12 candidates.

building, saying that the city could not afford to lose it. “That should have been done many years ago and then perhaps it wouldn’t be in the state it is today, because to replace that building, you are looking at between $15 and $20 million. A $2 million bill is a bargain,

compared to replacing it altogether,” said Vassilaki. “That’s dear to everyone’s heart in Penticton. That building was built with money donated by the citizens of Penticton.” Council voted unanimously to approve the $1.6 million facilities budget, which also includes $60,000 to finish the mu-

seum roof, $4,500 for the yacht and tennis club, and $140,000 for a portion of the trade and convention centre roof. “Even though the entire roof requires some sort of work, this portion here has multiple blisters, pooling of water and stress lines,” said Loewen. “That is a very high priority.”

EDITORIAL

Revenue now joins education’s 3 R’s

he future of education has arrived in the Okanagan Skaha School District. The spectre of looming deficits is bringing an addition to the traditional educational hallmarks of reading, writing and arithmetic: revenue. The local school board moved forward with a plan this week to bolster its budget by attracting more international students to South Okanagan schools. The students who attended school in the area for a full year would pay $12,000 tuition, almost double the $6,784 the district receives from the Ministry of Education for domestic students. Once medical insurance and room and board are brought into the equation, an international student would be looking at a bill of $20,900 for a full year of studies. The concept of using international students to bolster revenue isn’t new for B.C. school districts. And it’s becoming an issue school boards can no longer afford to ignore. Okanagan Skaha trustees are hoping to model the program after one in the Vernon School District, where about 200 international students attend class. Attracting 200 international students to Okanagan Skaha would add about $2.4 million to local coffers, accounting for more than four per cent of the district’s $57 million operating budget for 2013. However, the influx of international students won’t come without a cost. Aside from the basic cost of education, the international students are likely to require some additional focus for issues such as English-as-a-second-language classes. It will be up to the school district to PENTICTON WESTERN provide adequate resources and staffing levels to prevent the other students from being shortchanged. While an influx of international students is bound to create a few ripples in the local education system, the district cannot afford to allow scarce educational resources to head down the road.

opinion

Coasting towards a climate disaster They made some progress at the annual December round of the international negotiations on controlling climate change, held this year in Qatar. They agreed that the countries that cause the warming should compensate the ones that suffer the most from it. The principle, known as the Loss and Damage mechanism, has no numbers attached to it, but it’s a step forward. The only step forward, unfortunately. In the ﬁrst phase of these talks, which concluded with the Kyoto Protocol of 1997, the emphasis was on “mitigation”; that is, on stopping the warming by cutting human emissions of carbon dioxide and other “greenhouse gases”. That made good sense, but they didn’t get anywhere. Fifteen years later, emissions are still rising, not falling. So gradually the emphasis shifted to “adaptation”. If we can’t agree on measures to stop the average global temperature from going up, can we learn to live with it? What’s the plan for developing new crops to withstand the droughts and high temperatures that are coming? What’s the plan for coping with massive ﬂoods that drown river valleys and inundate coastlines? Well, there are no such plans in most places, so the emphasis has shifted again, to compensation. Terrible things will happen

Gwynne Dyer

Dyer Straits to poor countries, so who pays for them? In principle, says the new Loss and Damage mechanism, the rich countries that are responsible for the warming pay. But the “mechanism” has no method for assessing the damage or allocating the blame, so it will become a lawyers’ playground of little use to anybody else. So if mitigation is a lost cause, and if adaptation will never keep up with the speed at which the climate is going bad, and if compensation is a nice idea whose time will never come, what is the next stage in these climate talks? Prayer? Emigration to another planet? Mass suicide? There will be a fourth stage to the negotiations, but ﬁrst we will have to wait until rising temperatures, falling food production and catastrophic storms shake govern-

ments out of their present lethargy. That probably won’t happen until quite late in the decade — and by then, at the current rate of emissions, we will be well past the point at which we could hold the rise in average global temperature down to two degrees C. We will, in fact, be on course for three, four or even ﬁve degrees C of warming, because beyond plus two degrees, the warming that we have already created will trigger “feedbacks”: natural sources of carbon dioxide emissions like melting permafrost which we cannot shut off. So then, when it’s too late, everybody will really want a deal, but just cutting greenhouse gas emissions won’t be enough any more. We will need some way to hold the temperature down while we deal with our emissions problem, or else the temperature goes so high that mass starvation sets in. The rule of thumb is that we lose 10 per cent of global food production for every rise in average global temperature of one degree C. There probably is a way to stop the warming from passing plus two degrees C and triggering the feedbacks, during the decades it will take to get our emissions back down. It’s called “geo-engineering”: direct human intervention in the climate system. Our greenhouse gas emissions are an

inadvertent example of geo-engineering that is pushing the climate in the wrong direction. Another, deliberate kind of geo-engineering may be needed to stop it. Geo-engineering to hold the heat down is quite possible, though the undesirable side-effects could be very large. The biggest problem is that it’s relatively cheap: dozens of governments could afford to do it — and just one government, acting alone, could do it to the whole atmosphere. So the fourth phase of the climate talks, probably starting late this decade, will be about when it is time to start geo-engineering, and what techniques should be used, and who controls the process. They won’t agree on that either, so things will drag on further until some government, desperate to save its people from starvation, decides to do it alone, without global agreement. That could cause a major war, of course. So we had better hope that neutral observers like the fossil fuel industries are right in insisting that global warming is a fraud. Maybe all those scientists really are making it up just to get more money in research grants. That would be a happy ending, so ﬁngers crossed.

A new America has risen Professional or not, your perspicacious publisher was correct when he wrote, “(American) voters have delivered the message that individual liberty and government debt are far less important than taxpayer-provided benefits and handouts.” We wish he wasn’t. Jack McNeil got it, but Rob Murphy missed the Mark Walker point, entirely. And Bob Nicholson is probably an old white guy who roots for his favourite sports team, even in the face of terrible odds. This is not a right-wing/left-wing thing, however. This is the two wings of the Pax-American-Eagle, spanning a new world order, where feudalism has been reenergized and re-branded, where freedom has been freetraded for security. And as Benjamin Franklin warned, long ago: anybody who would do that, deserves neither. So, if we don’t watch out, this thing is going to get to where it’s headed, sure as bread and Cirque de Soeil. No point blaming Obama, though. (Romney would be reading from the same teleprompters.) If voters choose not to recall that change-you-can-believe-in didn’t change at all, so be it. The American people are still free to be deceived. How did de Tocqueville get so smart? Is it simply a matter of knowing history, and thereby, not being con-

KVR Trail plan supported

From 2010 onward, the Woodwackers have approved various motions to “recommend the closure of the KVR Trail to all motorized vehicles from the Penticton boundary to the north end of the Little Tunnel. The Woodwackers met on Nov. 27 to discuss the draft plan for KVR Trail development, as presented at the public meeting held in Naramata on Sept. 18. The Woodwackers have decided to strongly support this plan. In the interest of finding an interim solution, the Woodwackers recommend the Naramata KVR Users Working Group invite the newly formed “Keep Our KVR Accessible To All” group (KOKATA) to discuss options for motorized access to the KVR between Glen Fir and the north end of the Little Tunnel. Clarification is required on motorized use (cars, trucks, ATVs and dirt bikes, etc.). It is unclear as to where usage of these different types of motorized registered and unregistered vehicles would be permitted in the current draft plan. A motorized users group (perhaps KOKATA) could help in the planning, development and maintenance of the additional roads required to provide motorized vehicle access. The Woodwackers will continue to maintain the KVR Trail, as they have in the past, regardless of usage. Lyle Resh For the KVR Woodwackers

Drug policy out of touch

Oh Canada, are we are at odds on yet another very emotional issue? Oil ... gas ... China? I want to thank Harry G. Kapeikis for sharing his perspective. I hope all levels of governments will work together to determine if oil and gas lobbyists are being honest with us. I fear they may be trying to take advantage of the ‘niceness’ of Canadians. I also find MP Dan Albas open to discussion. If anyone is concerned with the China-Canada Trade Deal

demned to repeat it, as Santayana said? From a similar understanding, Thomas Jefferson warned that “The tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants, every 10 years.” Probably too late for that. The American empire sealed its fate when they rubbed out the Kennedy boys and MLK. That was the coup d’état. LBJ traded with devils and went mad. Nixon was a crook; Ford and Carter came and went. The Reagan Administration was an evil puppet show, with the Bush Dynasty pulling strings, long before Slick Willy lied, and long after George Jr. stood on the smoky rubble of World Trade to declare, “Go shopping!” But who remembers any of this? They don’t teach history in school anymore; they teach social-studies, instead. But still, “he who controls the past, controls the future,” said George Orwell. And “he who controls the present, controls the past”. Some — like Rob and Bob — say it won’t matter, because folks have so many more consumer options, nowadays. In the future? Every Friday will be Black Friday. Yes, the die is cast. The new America — rising like a phoenix from the ashes of the old — includes Canada and Mexico. If the alternative is China? All bets are off. Geoff Burton Penticton

(FIFA) or the direction the Conservatives are taking us, pick up the phone or stop in at his office. Dan could use our support, praise and advice. Why do I write? I have been very concerned with Canadian health and wealth-fare since leaving Dallas, Tex. after G.W. Bush was ‘elected’. I am a cannabis activist who is working to enlighten anyone who will listen on facts regarding marijuana and why it is illegal. Health Canada admits it is medicine because they are allowing its use for cancer, MS, arthritis, Crohns and other ailments. But for reasons still unknown, scientists are keeping valuable research away from governments and our medical, legal and educational professionals. What do I see? It is easier to put a pot smoker in prison than a pedophile/murderer/rapist. Our ‘innocent until proven guilty’ mentality works well for those accused of horrible crimes but not for cannabis users. Why? The ones that we catch are usually young and innocent so they accept a guilty verdict without costing taxpayers a fortune. Bonus: pot smokers are easy to catch (pot is bulky/smelly) and are a good source of inmates because they cause very little trouble. Remember we are building for-profit prisons now. Is some truth not shameful? Oh Canada, I stand on guard for thee. Lora Bruncke Penticton

Bill pays political price

We are ashamed of our Canadian federal government. On Nov. 28, Bill C-398, the Medicines for All Bill, was defeated in the House of Commons by seven votes, 148 to 141. We needed to take some deep breaths before drafting a reasonable response. This bill would have ensured greater access to affordable medicines for people in developing countries, dying of treatable diseases such as AIDS, malaria and TB. It

had the potential of saving millions of lives. Last year a similar bill was overwhelmingly passed by Parliament. It died in the Senate when the election was called. Last year the pharmaceutical companies opposed the bill, this year they did not. It is a travesty that the Conservative Party, having made much of its initiative on maternal and child health, turned its back on this opportunity. This year only seven courageous Conservatives supported this bill, compared with 26 who supported it last year. Well before the vote we encouraged Dan Albas, our local member of Parliament, to do the right thing and support this bill. He did not. Hundreds and thousands of people, including mothers and children, who need medicines to prevent suffering and death are the losers. Shame on our federal government. We expected more from them.

Just a single school trustee remains wary about the district’s plan to bolster its budgets by attracting more international students to local schools. “I think I’m the only one of this board who has really deep reservations about this program,” said Linda Beaven, a former Summerland teacher who was elected in 2011 to the board of the Okanagan Skaha School District. She raised more concerns earlier this month during a finance committee meeting at which superintendent Wendy Hyer proposed modest fee increases for international students. According to Hyer’s recommendations, which were accepted by the board at its Monday meeting, international students who attend school here for a full year will pay $12,000 tuition. That’s almost double the $6,784 the district receives from the B.C. government for each of its domestic students, and it’s a differential the board decided to target following budget deliberations last spring. All told, a full-year international student would pay the district $20,900, which would cover tuition, room and board, and medical insurance. That’s up from $20,025 this year, but still slightly less than the

amount charged by districts to the north. Money’s not the issue for Beaven, who said at a meeting in September that a single Chinese student in one of her English 11 classes took up a quarter of her time. At this Wednesday’s meeting she raised concerns about how much time visiting students will spend in English-as-a-second-language classes and how much time will be devoted to keeping tabs on the kids’ home lives while they’re here. Hyer said two groups of Korean students totalling about 30 kids who are coming in January will each get three hours of ESL instruction per week from two newly hired teachers. And further, the kids will be focused mainly on learning English during their four weeks here, so their regular teachers will be told to focus less on academics and more on making the visitors feel welcome. As for monitoring of the kids’ host families, Hyer said two people in the Vernon School District look after 200 kids there. “Monitoring could be 15 minutes one month, two hours the next month,” she said, adding the homestay co-ordinator will also be expected to organize some social activities. Besides the Koreans, the district is also expecting in January nine students from Japan, who will stay until

next December, and three from Germany, who will stay until June. Hyer said recruitment efforts through overseas placement agencies will ramp up in January now that the district has laid the groundwork here with new promotional materials, fee structures and staff. Asked for their thoughts at last week’s committee meeting on expansion of the international program, all of the school trustees, with the exception of Beaven, touted a range of expected benefits. Trustee Shelley Clarke said she’s met international students through one of her children and “they are enthusiastic and very enjoyable to be around. The fact that they’re supporting our other students in our school system is a boon. “And I like the fact they’re going to be in our communities and giving some international spice to our noninternational small town.” Trustee Linda Van Alphen said that she would reserve judgment until after a one-year review of the enhanced international-student program has been completed to make sure it delivers the promised educational, social and financial benefits. “That’s part of what we agreed to as a board,” she said. “We think it’s a good idea, but at the end of the day, we’re not going to do something that’s detrimental to our children.”

Resident keeps heat on fire protection Steve Kidd Western News Staff

Steve Boultbee is determined to keep council thinking about fire protection for the homes on the upper portion of Spiller Road. Ever since a fire in the area on July 1 destroyed a home, Boultbee has been advocating for fire hydrants to be put in the area to avoid a repeat of the situation, where it took the city’s fire department time to get their tender on scene to supply enough

water to the engines working the fire. Boultbee’s latest plea came during the city’s budget deliberations, where he asked councillors to consider a new idea. “Fire hydrants that are needed now here on Spiller Road are in the best interest of the 14 families who live here, and almost everyone else from Macmillan Road to the residence of Naramata,” Boultbee said in a recent letter to the editor. His latest suggestion for city council is to build a water

reservoir, supplied by an artesian well above the Campbell Road Landfill, for firefighting purposes. Along with the destruction of homes, Boultbee is now including the possibility of a catastrophic forest fire — like the 1994 Garnet fire or the 2003 Okanagan Park fire — in his list of reasons why hydrants are a must for the rural area. “Had we not had rain at the time of the fire, had it not been raining for a week prior, we would have had a situation akin

to Kelowna in 2003,” said Boultbee, who freely admits the reservoir concept is not a new idea, but one that came up during a meeting with a developer who wants to build a subdivision below the area. “We have been working with the developer on that and we have ensured that they will site their reservoir so that Spiller Road would be provided with proper fire protection and domestic water when that subdivision comes online,” said Mitch Moroziuk, director of operations for the city. That subdivision, however, might be some time in coming, having been put off until the next real estate cycle. “The next cycle is anywhere from five to seven to 15 years away before they will develop this lot. So that’s a little out there,” said Boultbee, who was

nonetheless encouraged by council’s response to his request they look into the reservoir idea. “My intention is not to ask council to put in hydrants this afternoon or even next year, but to next year have in their budget an engineer to go in to at least tell us the cost of these two possibilities,” said Boultbee, who described the response of the councillors as very positive. “It sounds like they are going to make an effort to do what they can,” he said. “I know it won’t come quickly, so next year there will be the engineer’s report, the following year, maybe we will be able to implement something. And maybe in the third year, should a situation like that (the July 1 fire) arise, maybe we will have the ability to deal with it.”

Parents show interest in early French immersion Western News Staff

Parents of nearly 60 kids in Penticton have expressed an interest in an early French immersion program. The Okanagan Skaha School District is working on a feasibility study to determine if there’s enough interest to offer the program for kindergarten and Grade 1 students to complement an existing late immersion program that begins in Grade 6. Public consultations were held last month at schools in Penticton and Summerland. Assistant superintendent Dave Burgoyne, who’s overseeing the project, told the school board at its Monday meeting that parents in Penticton have indicated they have a total of 58 kids who would be interested in entering the program, which would begin in 2014. Summerland parents added nine children to the list. Burgoyne said he is also surveying those same parents, plus those of kids in the late French immersion program, about their preference for location. “That may give us an idea of the willingness of parents to enrol in EFI if it means moving out of the community away from the neighbourhood school,” he explained. The next step in the study process will be the formation of a committee with representatives from unions, the district parent advisory committee and other interest groups to sift through the information and come up with a recommendation for the board in the spring. A similar study was prepared in 2004 and the district was prepared to move ahead with an EFI program then, but parental support evaporated when it came time to actually enrol kids for the program, which would have been located at Queen’s Park Elementary in Penticton.

Christmas spirit on the menu Kristi Patton Western News Staff

Joe Fries/Western News

HeartWarmiNg respoNse — sheri raposo and Kim ehlers model some of the hundreds of coats collected during the Cover with Kindness blanket drive organized by their boss greg Litwin, a local notary public. their downtown office is overflowing with blankets, sweaters, coats and other cold-weather gear that will be handed out monday from 12-2 p.m. at st. saviour’s parish next door to the soupateria on orchard avenue. anyone in need of such items is welcome to take their pick on that day.

A long line snaking from the upstairs of the Victory Church to the outside alleyway was a stern reminder of just how many people are in need in Penticton. On Wednesday, over 200 people showed up to the free community Christmas dinner hosted by the church and its volunteers. “It’s not really a surprise to me,” said volunteer Sharon Martens about the turnout, who also gives her time at the Soupateria. For volunteers it was simply a way to give back and share the spirit of the season, but for those enjoying the meal it was much more. Roaring cheers and applause broke out when the MC of the event asked how their dinner was tasting. And if that wasn’t an indicator, the many going up for seconds was. “It’s nice to be able to help others during Christmas,” said Martens. “And everyone that comes here is gracious and it makes for a very friendly atmosphere.” While many who enjoyed the dinner on Wednesday have homes to live in, they scrape by with meagre belongings and supplies. One pregnant woman was with her two children sitting at a table listening to the band play and eating the ham dinner with all the trimmings including desserts.

Kristi patton/Western News

KyaraH apps was one of the many volunteers at Victory Church on Wednesday that provided a free community Christmas dinner and all the trimmings to over 200 people.

The woman, who did not want her name disclosed, said they will be depending on the food hamper program for their actual Christmas dinner. “This is the first time I have brought my kids here,” she said while getting another plate of food to take back to the table. “I have my 12-year-old here with me and it is nice to show him that despite so many tragic things that happen in life there are people who still care out there. It also shows him the spirit of the season and how important it is to give back.”

On top of the free dinner and entertainment, businesses in the community donated over 40 prizes from free pizza coupons to blankets that were handed out. As guests left the banquet area they were also treated to a goodie bag filled with treats from church volunteer bakers and supplies such as new socks and donated clothes if they wanted them. “We are by no means professional caterers,” joked Trevor Hoffman, pastor at Victory Church. “But everyone seemed to love it and it was such a great time.”

GET READY FOR WINTER!

Western News Staff

Helping a person move through a traumatic experience is not an easy journey, nor is it a free one. Taking their new slogan of Journeying Beyond Abuse, the South Okanagan Victim Assistance Society is hoping the public can help their clients complete that journey by donating to the non-profit group. “We wanted to focus more on growth and positive rather than the victim, not that we don’t see victims of abuse, but there is another story to people who have been victimized. It is a journey from abuse and assault,” said SOVAS counsellor Maureen Carey-Barkley, explaining the new slogan. In partnership with the United Way and The Bench artisan food market, a selection of baskets have been created with local gourmet products at a variety of prices, with 100 per cent of the profits being donated to SOVAS. There are three programs which SOVAS offers to those who have suffered abuse including a victim assistance program, women’s counselling and a men’s counselling program. Victim assistance helps people who have experienced violence in relationships, sexual assault or childhood abuse to navigate the court system. The women’s program has the same mandate.

Those improvements include not only the purchase of a new HandyDart bus, but increased service on the Main Street and Sunday routes.

Baskets support victims agency

Moroziuk explained that the fare hike — planned to start midway through 2013 — would not only bring Penticton’s rates in line with B.C.

NE R

Electric rates are likely to rise a little more than expected thanks to a miscalculation in the rate hikes from FortisBC. Rather than 5.2 per cent, the actual rate increase approved by the B.C. Utilities Commission comes to a total of 5.8 per cent. According to Mitch Moroziuk, director of operations for the City of Penticton, FortisBC contacted him last week after reading reports about the expected 5.2 per cent increase. However, Moroziuk said the additional 0.6 per cent will not have a large effect on the average residential customer, amounting to another 54 cents above the expected $5 to $7 increase already on the books. Council has three alternatives on the table for raising electrical rates, applying the increases to either the wholesale rate, the retail rate or an average of the two. With the updated FortisBC increases, the electric hike will now range from 6.18 per cent to 7.87 per cent. Those amounts include a 1.28 per cent rate hike from the city utility, intended to cover differences between the model the city uses for cost projection and the actual costs observed. The main

problem arises from the rate used to calculate line losses — the amount of power lost to resistance in the lines. According to Eric Livolsi, the operations manager for the city’s electric utility, other communities report their line loss at 6.5 to seven per cent, similar to what Penticton has observed. However, Penticton has been using a figure of four per cent in their cost calculations, “That appears to have been used for some time,” said Livolsi. “In the past at lower loading levels, that may have been sufficient.” Bus rates may also be getting a hike sometime in 2013. While cash fares are to stay the same, Moroziuk recommended an across-the-board increase to the price for pre-bought tickets, day and monthly passes, which would rise to $50 for adults, $35 for seniors and $30 for K-12 students The need for the fare hike, which was mirrored by a similar rise in rates for users of the HandyDart system, was questioned by councillors, who worried that it might cause a drop in the number of transit users. “I wouldn’t be in favour of increasing rates for anyone, let alone seniors,” said Coun. John Vassilaki.

Luke Brockholm is thanking Kelowna General Hospital from the bottom of his heart — a heart saved by KGH’s cardiac care team in the first open heart surgery operation performed at the hospital last week. Brockholm, 54, was introduced to the media Wednesday, nine days after receiving quadruple bypass surgery at KGH. The surgery marked a historic first for the hospital, which is now the only medical centre outside of the Lower Mainland and Victoria where full cardiac care services are offered. The operation was conducted in one of two specially refitted operating rooms at the hospital, rooms that will be used for cardiac operations until the new Interior Heart and Surgical Centre opens at KGH in 2015. An area for the new heart centre is currently being cleared at KGH and construction is expected to start early next year. As for Brockholm, who lives in Okanagan Falls and works in the maintenance department at the Penticton Airport, he said while he was happy to be the first open heart surgery patient at KGH, he is even more happy with the result. “I’m feeling really good and I’m surprised I have recovered as quickly as I have,” said a smiling Brockholm during a new conference to announce the historic first for KGH Wednesday. He was discharged four days after his surgery and returned to KGH Wednesday to thank the medical staff that cared for him. He said he does not have a history of heart disease in his family and only became aware he had a problem earlier this year. He said he had the opportunity to be flown to Victoria for the surgery but said he opted to have it done here because his condition was stable enough to wait. He learned in late November that he would be the first patient to have open heart surgery at KGH. And, it appears, the cardiac team at the hospital is not resting on its laurels following that first success. According to Dr. Guy Fradet, KGH’s medical director of cardiac surgery and the surgeon who performed the procedure on Brockholm, in the nine days since, 11 more open heart surgeries have been performed, including an emergency procedure and one that involved bypasses of all six arteries of the heart. “We did surgeries every day last week and as of Monday, we are now doing two a day,” said Fradet. KGH estimates that once the cardiac program is fully up and running, as many as 630 procedures will be performed at the hospital every year. That will be on top of the existing angioplasty program, which has been operating ay KGH for the last three years. The introduction of full cardiac care services at KGH, lauded by Health Minister Dr. Margaret McDiarmid at Wednesday’s news conference, means residents of the Interior will no longer have to travel to Vancouver or Victoria for operations. Brockholm said that was a relief, especially for his wife, who was able to be with him prior to and after his surgery. Fradet said the arrival of open heart surgery has also helped the hospital in many other ways, thanks to improvements in a number of areas including a bigger pharmacy and larger blood bank, as well as improved X-ray and laboratory services. “This will be a real game changer for the hospital,” he said.

With the Vernon Vipers on deck Friday and the Nanaimo Clippers Saturday, the Penticton Vees intend to, forget about Wednesdays loss. The Salmon Arm SilverBacks have defeated the defending RBC Cup champs two games in a row now after leaving the South Okanagan Events Centre with a 2-1 win. The SilverBacks received all the offence they needed in a oneminute span in the opening period. Former Vee Evan Anderson broke the scoreless tie with less than five minutes remaining as he broke in on goalie Chad Katunar and chipped the puck upstairs. Then another former Vee, this time defenceman Shane Hanna, shot from inside the point and had it redirected past Katunar, who motioned a high stick to the official hoping it would be called back. “I thought that puck was tipped in with a high stick,” said Katunar, adding that referee Matt Thurston disagreed with him. “I saw it go way up and then it was in the net. I completely lost sight of it. I’m not sure how it went in still.” While the Vees outshot the SilverBacks 15-9 in that period, the Vees didn’t have many great scoring chances. The first one came from affiliate player Josh Blanchard, who broke in on SilverBacks goalie Adam Clark, but after getting off his backhand, he was knocked down. The Vees failed on the power play despite having some chances. The second period was much the same for the Vees. Their best chance came when forward Cam Amantea fired a shot off the post as he blazed down the left wing. The Vees came out stronger in the third period firing 17 shots on Clark, who was named the game’s first star. Given three power play opportunities, Sam Mellor scored with Ryan Schwalbe in the box. Mellor’s ninth goal of the season came as Clark was dealing with traffic in front of his crease. That

PENTICTON VEES goalie Chad Katunar takes a quick glance for the puck as Carter Lukenda and Evan Anderson eventually raised their arms in celebration of what they thought was a goal. The SilverBacks did beat Katunar to earn a 2-1 win at the South Okanagan Events Centre in BCHL action on Wednesday. Below, Cody DePourcq and Brad McClure collide as they tried to get a piece of Steven Iacobellis.

energized the Vees. They had chances, including Louie Nanne hitting the crossbar, but couldn’t solve Clark, who finished with 39 saves. “I can’t say I like the way the third period went,” said SilverBacks coach Scott Robinson. “We just gave up too much. Clark was great in there and made the win stand up.” “I thought we had to have a better start obviously. In any game you want to play a complete 60 minutes,” said Vees captain Troy Stecher. “With our first period there we piss them away basically. When you look at a couple of our plays in the first period, bounces didn’t go our way. It was because we weren’t competing hard enough.” Stecher said their performance wasn’t from a lack of trying. He credited Salmon Arm for playing well and added their ability to clog the entry into their zone made it difficult for the Vees to create chances. Stecher also took blame on Anderson’s goal stating the puck bounced over his arm. Katunar, who finished with 18 saves, wasn’t any easier on the assessment of their play. “I think it all just comes down to hard work and compete level,” he

said. “Our third period was excellent. Our second period was better. Our first was very sloppy. They were beating us to pucks in the corner. They were first to pucks all over the ice. You could make the argument that I was outplayed by their guy. In all areas of the ice, in all areas of our game, we were outplayed tonight.” Vees coach-GM Fred Harbinson said he was happy with his players in the third. He just felt that his player were uninspired most of the game. “There was absolutely no emotion in the building,” said Harbinson, in regard to the crowd of 1,149. He credited the SilverBacks for skating well and pressuring them as they found ways to outnumber the Vees. One thing Harbinson noted was that his team didn’t play a lot in their defensive zone. As for the SilverBacks and their play, Robinson said they talked about making an impression off the start. “I think we obviously did that,” he said. “We have a tendency to feel teams out and not really assert ourselves. We did a much better job of that tonight.” After playing what Harbinson thought were

The quality of play has really improved.

Western News Staff

A record 16 teams will compete in the Fire on Ice female hockey tournament this weekend. In its fifth year, the tournament has grown from eight teams. This year it will feature four teams (including Penticton) in each of the atom, peewee, bantam and midget levels. The atom division has visiting teams from Kamloops, Merritt and Wenatchee, while peewee has Chase, Kelowna and Williams Lake. In bantam, there is Tri Cities, Kelowna and Kamloops, while midget has Merritt, Kelowna and Kamloops. Shawn Black, director of the female division for Penticton Minor Hockey Association, said they are happy with the growth, especially because PMHA has 519 registered players, 85 of whom are females. “Girls account for almost 20 per cent of PMHA’s total registration,” he said. “We’re really excited. The quality of play has really improved.” Black said the importance of the tournament comes in the chance for girls to play against other females. “There are not a lot of female teams in the valley,” said Black. “They really get excited about that. They get to see how they stand as a program. See other girls’ hockey.” For the first time the tournament will have an American team in Wenatchee. “They were really excited when invited to come,” said Black, an assistant coach with the Penticton bantam team. “There are not a lot of female teams for them to play.” Lloyd Lindsay, head coach of Penticton’s ban-

— Shawn Black

tam team, wants to see his players put together on the ice what they have worked on in practice. Having seen his players perform against other female teams, he knows what to expect. “They rise to the occasion against girls,” he said. Lindsay said the strength of his team starts with the goaltending of Sylvia Barnett. Penticton also possesses skill in the offensive zone. With the number of teams in the tournament, Black said it’s one of the largest in the Interior as more than 250 players are expected to play. Another factor contributing to the success of the tournament is the support of local businesses, such as Game Time Sports, Penticton Fabricating, the Lakeside Resort and Inland Kenworth. Games will take place in the South Okanagan Events Centre, Okanagan Hockey School Training Centre, Memorial Arena, and McLaren Arena. Action begins Friday with Penticton facing Merritt in the atom division at 3 p.m. in the SOEC. On Saturday, in atom, Penticton faces Kamloops at 6:30 a.m. at Memorial Arena. The playoff round begins Sunday at 6:30 a.m. The games for first-place in each level begin at 10 a.m. for peewee in Memorial Arena, 11:15 a.m. for bantam in McLaren Arena and 11:45 a.m. for midget in Memorial Arena.

they have observed before when a new retailer opens in Penticton. “Whether it has been WalMart or Zellers or Canadian Tire, our sales have had a little lift,” said Leaman, who attributes it to shoppers staying off the road to Westbank; with more options locally, more people stay home to shop. “We do traffic counts and our traffic is up slightly from last year, which is good,” said Leaman. “Our sales have been up slightly this year and were flat last year, so we are holding our own.” The mall boasts a large selection of seasonal tenants, according to Leaman, along with having all of the in-line stores filled, adding up to a large selection of merchandise for shoppers. “We didn’t lose any tenants in 2012 and we picked up four new ones,” said Leaman, explaining that the market for retail stores is a competitive one. “It is a challenge because national and regional retailers are not looking at small market B.C. We’ve got the lowest operating costs and our sales performance is consistent. “We’re pleased with how we have come through 2012.”

ri Milton, interim manager of the Downtown Penticton Association, is also seeing. “I was out there all day today,” said Milton. “Everybody was very, very busy, lots of people.” Downtown is a lot more vibrant this year, she said, with fewer empty storefronts. Milton, who was previously manager of the Pen-Mar Theatre for eight years, said she has been getting feedback that the past summer was one of the best downtown merchants had in years. That trend seems to be mirrored in the Christmas shopping season. “I got to meet a whole bunch of shop owners,” said Milton. “They are saying they are doing very well and it is a great kickoff for the new year. Hopefully it will continue through the winter, they are doing exceptionally well this year.” In the centre of Penticton, Gary Leaman, general manager of Cherry Lane Shopping Centre, said traffic has been strong. “Certainly, there seems to be extra traffic in the neighbourhood, because of the opening of the Superstore across the street, which is consistent with our expectations.” It’s something Leaman said

Fingers do the walking through these pages

Heather Allen Armchair Book Club

Looking back over the year, there seems to be a common thread among the books I’ve read: many are tales about walking. I didn’t set out with a theme, nor did I ac-

tually choose most of these books myself. So it seems only ﬁtting that my latest read, recommended by a reader of this column, is about a walking adventure: The Unlikely Pilgrimage of

Harold Fry, by British author Rachel Joyce. Harold Fry doesn’t plan on a journey. Indeed, his comfortable if stultifying suburban life entails very little in the way of walking at all. Yet one day, Harold receives a hot pink letter from Queenie, a work colleague he hasn’t seen in years. The shakily scratched note reveals that she has terminal cancer. The information disquiets Harold to such an extent that he immediately replies, and ignoring his usual rou-

tine, goes out to post his letter. When he arrives at the ﬁrst post box, he surprises himself again. He doesn’t mail the letter. Instead he keeps walking. As he happens upon each successive box, he keeps making excuses to walk rather than post the letter. A chance encounter with a mystical young woman during the ﬁrst hours of his walk cements Harold’s determination. He won’t mail the letter, but will walk all the way to Queenie to deliver his message in person.

y u B d o o G say 12 to 20

y r m a c

Queenie, however, lives more than 500 miles away on England’s opposite coastline. Harold rarely walks further than from his garage to his front door, and at the time of his departure wears only yachting shoes and a light coat. This doesn’t deter him. Not only is he walking to Queenie, he believes that his pilgrimage will save her. This book, longlisted for the 2012 Man Booker Prize, is a fascinating yet gentle read. With great deftness, Joyce reveals how walking is often as much an inward journey as an outward one. As Harold follows the British motorways, he ponders his seemingly stale marriage, and the disappearance of his son. He recovers new memories about growing up. And bit by bit, he recalls small but mysterious excerpts of his relationship with Queenie.

Although Harold’s walk becomes a pilgrimage – crossing paths with wide assortment of often comical but usually well-meaning people – it isn’t overtly religious. In fact, the walk is in part an attempt by Harold to restore faith and ﬁnd meaning in his life in the absence of religion. Joyce wonderfully conveys the sensation of walking – the euphoria of witnessing a sunrise and the misery of blisters and missing toenails. But she also latches onto the idea that something about the movement of walking is deeply connected to our psyche. Walking is often the best way to have a good conversation with someone, and in this case, is a great way to unfold a story. Heather Allen is a writer, reader and book reviewer living in Penticton.

Penticton-based label Mad Melody Records is hosting the Hip Hop For Hunger Food Drive on Saturday at Voodoo’s. Label manager Harley Pyrozyk said members of Mad Melody Records are excited to spread the Christmas spirit by hosting the event and grateful to give back to the less fortunate within the community. Last year, the group raised over 100 food items and they are hoping for the same successful results. Performing on Saturday will be MC Bodhi, JDK Nonstop, Twojoints, Toxik Emissionz and duo The High Crime. Admission is one to two non-perishable food items plus a $2 door cover charge. Without any non-perishable food donation, the cover charge for entrance is $5 at the door. The show starts at 8 p.m. and is scheduled for three hours. Mad Melody artists are also performing at the South Okanagan Musicians Unite charity event at the Shatford Centre on Friday.

OSO waxes poetic for Christmas Jennifer Smith Black Press

There is no doubt spoken word has returned to the forefront when the symphony is pointing to the art form as inspiration for its annual Christmas concert. Perhaps it is the beatnik poet resurgence embedded in the hipster revival. Perhaps it is the Okanagan College creative writing program’s success in producing a group of artists interested in staying in the valley and engaging with poetry. Or maybe it is UBCO’s focus on including spoken word in its events. Whatever the reason, centering the OSO’s concert around spoken word and narration promises the most broadbased appeal. However, there will be old-fashioned Christmas carolling in the mix. “We just don’t sing in our culture anymore,” said music director Rosemary Thomson. “We used to gather around the piano, now it’s more like we

APPAREL SALE up to

gather around Guitar Hero. So it’s nice to give people a chance to really sing together as a group.” The Cleland Theatre in Penticton does make quite the stage for a group sing-along; particularly, when the music is Christmas carols, so everyone knows the words. Add a little storytelling, some Dylan Thomas prose and a poetic touch and it should make for a concert to remember. Last year this performance was narrated by CBC’s Marion Barschel, host of Daybreak South for a decade, and brought the animated British film The Snowman to life against a backdrop of jazz music. The poetic element to this year’s program comes from Thomson’s memory of her father listening to the The Gift of the Magi, as delivered by the late Alan Maitland on CBC Radio. The story is of a young married couple who don’t have the money to buy much for Christ-

mas, but still manage to find each other secret Christmas gifts, though their plans are disturbed by a hitch. Paired musically with The March of the Three Kings, the story will be read by Alan Corbishley. A multi-platform artist based out of Kamloops, Corbishley performed Mozart’s Requiem with the orchestra last year and consequently was asked back for this special project. Though he spends most of his time in opera as a baritone, when he’s not producing arts festivals, he started his career in theatre and is looking forward to adding both a musical lilt and his own dramatic touch to this material. “This is not just standard Christmas fare; there is real poetry to this,” said Corbishley, who has worked internationally but returned to work with Western Canada Theatre in Kamloops. Joining him on stage will be a soundscape of young Okanagan voices as the Okanagan

Youth Chorus gets rolling for its first season. Included in the concert are choir members from Rutland and Kelowna Secondary Schools, Penticton Secondary School, Kalamalka and Seaton Secondary Schools in Vernon, and Mount Boucherie in West Kelowna. The repertoire will be challenging for the young singers, particularly for two students selected as soloists from Alexandra Babble Studio. Soprano Alexia Hildebrandt and tenor Derik Widmer have been on Thomson’s radar for some time and their voices should lend youthful zest to the evening. The annual Christmas concert begins at 7 p.m. and runs straight to 8:30 p.m. without intermission, so little ones can attend, and includes a good deal of audience participation. Christmas Reflections with Alan Corbishley and the Okanagan Symphony Youth Chorus runs in Penticton at the Cleland Theatre on Dec. 21.

Music plays on at art gallery Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

Connecting contemporary issues with future possibilities is the next topic at the Penticton Art Gallery eight-week installment, End of the World As We Know It exhibit. On Friday from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. a unique blend of music will fill the gallery from folk rock, dance tracks and a four-piece reggae dance band from Mexico and Kamloops called The Ganjanistas. “They are an amazing Spanish reggae band and are all together in Canada for the first time this year and have been in Kamloops really moving people. It’s a Spanish, hip hop, reggae and rock sound. It’s a lot of fun,” said Mikkal Waters, who helped organize the weekend and will be performing himself. The exhibit also will feature workshops on the weekend on Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. A film and visual arts will also be presented.
