A GATHERING OF WISDOM

NEWS Mark Brett

PENTICTON WESTERN Western News Staff

One organizer is holding up the Penticton Indian Band’s hosting of the 38th annual BC Elders Gathering, which ends today, as an example for all others to follow.

“Penticton is wonderful, the co-operation of the PIB (Penticton Indian Band) regional district (Okanagan-Similkameen) and the city shows just what can be accomplished,” said Brad Boyes, a director of the Gathering Society and event chairman.

“I think now it’s time for all of us to get in one canoe and paddle in one direction for the benefit of the future.

“Some people talk the talk and don’t really mean it but with your mayor (Garry Litke) here in Penticton and (PIB Chief) Jonathan Kruger and (chairman) Mark (Pendergraft) of the regional district they walk the walk. Success takes partnerships and really that’s what it boils down to.”

The gathering got underway at the South Okanagan Events Centre Monday morning with traditional drumming and songs welcoming the many weathered and smiling faces to their seats.

The event draws together elders from across B.C. — and this year, across Canada and Washington state — giving them a chance to share ideas amongst themselves, and make contact with their peers from other communities.

It’s also a chance to socialize, have some fun and regenerate themselves for future work.

The opening prayer was delivered by Joey Pierre, who stood from his wheelchair with wife Caroline by his side, holding his arm.

The couple were the king and queen in 1997, the only other time Penticton hosted the gathering.

Following Arnie Baptiste’s high-energy rendition of the honour song and welcoming remarks by PIB Chief Jonathan Kruger was the grand entry of the participants, carrying banners identifying their bands and nation affiliation.

“It was an astounding demonstration. It was like the opening of the Olympics,” said Litke afterwards.

“They went around and around the SOEC for the better part of an hour amid cheers and drumming and singing and dancing, it was just a marvellous event.”

In the afternoon the venue changed to the Outma Sqilx’w Cultural School on the Penticton Indian Reserve for a band presentation, traditional feast and sponsorship events.

A traditional powwow took place in the evening at the SOEC. On Tuesday there were several addresses by dignitaries

and several workshops, healing and performers and a social and dance that night.

Wednesday activities focused on the closing ceremonies.

Former Penticton chief and now Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, who told the touching story of his rebirth into his own culture on the opening day, believes the elders are the future of First Nations.

Chief Kruger told the crowd how “happy and blessed” the band is to host the Gathering.

“There is a very powerful genuine and excellent feeling from this,” he said. “The spirit is amazing.”

Boyes summed up the importance of the Gathering this way: “The elders are constant, their constant is the future of their people, the future of all people and all children.”

gives first Rock slide injures two City reading to allow Kristi Patton

liquor sales at saturday market

Western News Staff

Two people suffered minor injuries after a rock slide onto Highway 97, just two kilometres north of Summerland, late Sunday morning.

Matt Strength was driving northbound near La Punta Norte Bed and Breakfast when he saw rocks and dirt plunge down the mountain and onto the busy highway, creating a fog of dust.

“There was this huge dust cloud from where the rocks came down and then we saw two vehicles that just managed to get out of the way of it. They came right out of this big dust cloud like something out of a movie,” he said.

As the dust started clearing, he jumped out of his vehicle and ran to where one car appeared to be hit. He was followed by the driver of the vehicle in front of him.

“You could hear a car horn blaring in the distance and we realized someone got hit by those rocks. One guy ran over to the driver and helped him get out. The driver was banged up a bit with scratches to his forehead, some kind of chest trauma and looked like a twisted or broken ankle,” said Strength.

The female passenger in the vehicle hit by the slide was unconscious and as others began digging debris from the back of the vehicle, Strength and one other person started pulling rocks from the passenger side door.

“Once we got to her, a physician that was in the traffic came over and handled everything,” said Strength.

“At one point the woman was unconscious but she came to and she definitely was not feeling too good.”

“The physician deemed her neck was alright so we moved her out. She was pretty uncomfortable and it wasn’t long after that the paramedics got there.”

Strength said the impact of the rocks pushed the vehicle three lanes over and moved a traffic barrier.

“It definitely wasn’t as bad as it could have been. I grew up in the Okanagan and you always hear about landslides and rock slides on the highways but this was the first time I had seen it first-hand.

It was pretty shocking and I didn’t even really think about it when I ran out to help until afterwards and the adrenaline was going,” said Strength.

RCMP said the slide occurred around 11:26 a.m. and the two Alberta residents in the vehicle were transported to the Penticton hospital then released Sunday evening. Sgt. Stephane Lacroix said it is believed most of their injuries were caused by the airbags being deployed.

He said the outcome could have been worse, considering the amount of rock and dirt that fell.

“To see that coming down towards you must be terrifying. It is a good thing no one was completely buried or pushed into the lake.

There was no warning so there is not much they could have done to get out of the way. They were lucky,” said Lacroix.

EmErgEnCy CrEws attend to two people injured when a rock slide just north of summerland struck the vehicle they were driving in. The pair was reportedly taken to Penticton regional Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Traffic was back up for over an hour. The highway has since reopened.

randy Kirkoski/special to the western news

Vehicles were at a standstill temporarily on Highway 97 on Sunday before two lanes of traffic were opened to allow drivers from the north and south through. Murray Tekano, district manager for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, said he expects the area to be completely cleaned up on Tuesday and all lanes of traffic to be opened. He believes about 500 cubic metres of rock and dirt fell from the face of the mountain.

“There is rock mesh there to capture rock fall when it occurs and direct it into the ditch.

“In this case the rock came down and the system worked largely as it was intended to capture it into the ditch but it was overwhelmed because of the volume and that is what flooded onto the highway,” said Tekano.

Engineers remained on site on Monday to assess the area.

“We don’t feel there is any risk of major rock fall and we will be following up on other areas,” said Tekano.

Council remains neutral in support for Boonstock Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Council chose not to follow through this week on a recommendation from the city’s community and business development advisory committee that “council support the Boonstock event due to the economic value of this festival.”

The recommendation came after the committee had a roundtable discussion on June 25, just two days before security firm International Crowd Management announced they were terminating their service agreement with Boonstock, citing health and safety concerns over the festival’s security planning.

ICM became concerned after Boonstock organizers told them they wanted less security staff, and no first aid attendants/paramedic or lifeguards. Barb Haynes, the festival co-ordinator, has not returned phone calls since the Western News broke the story of ICM’s termination last Wednesday.

Haynes, who is also a member of the business development committee, abstained from voting on the motion recom-

mending council support Boonstock.

Council didn’t agree to support Boonstock, but they also didn’t take a negative stance. Coun. Katie Robinson moved council only receive the committee’s recommendation, without acting on it, citing the new information about ICM. Coun. Wes Hopkin said council shouldn’t be passing judgment one way or another, since Boonstock is being held on Penticton Indian Band lands, outside the city.

“There has been, obviously, some new information that has come in the last few days. I think it is sort of premature for us to judge this one way or another,” said Hopkin. “ I do think the event will have to prove itself, and I think they will sink or swim based on their own performance.”

While Boonstock organizers have yet to respond to repeated requests from the Western News for comment on the ICM allegations and how they plan to move forward, notices, attributed only to Boonstock Festival on their Facebook page have been posted, first, on July 3, to reassure ticket buyers

the festival would proceed as planned, then again on July 7 that “absolutely we will be serving liquor” in response to a festival goer’s concern.

The festival had not obtained a liquor licence prior to ICM terminating their security agreement. In order for the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch to approve a license, a comprehensive safety plan must be in place, and approved by the RCMP. “If the organizers want to run Boonstock as a licensed event, they need approval from both the RCMP and the LCLB,” said a spokesperson for the government branch.

“In terms of approval for a liquor licence, the LCLB generally requires three to six months for more complex events, allowing enough time to review the safety plan and work with organizers to mitigate any potential concerns.”

Even with RCMP approval, the LCLB generally requires two to four weeks to process, according to the spokesperson, who also said Boonstock’s organizers had been given until July 8 to produce a robust safety plan for the RCMP and the LCLB to review.

Local wineries, craft brewers and distillers may be serving up their products at Penticton’s Saturday markets as early as the end of July.

Penticton city council began the process of removing municipal-level obstacles this week, following suit with the province, which updated liquor regulations last month to allow sales at public markets.

“The city has to amend their bylaw first,” said Erin Trainer, manager of the Farmers’ Market. “We are waiting to see what is going to happen.”

Both the Penticton Farmers’ Market and the Downtown Community Market are eagerly awaiting the final decision from council, which may come after a public hearing at their next regular meeting on July 21.

“They (local wineries) have been calling since January. Everyone is so excited, it has just been waiting until the legislation came through and then there is that moment of disappointment when they realize, OK, the B.C. laws came through, but it still has to go through our own municipal laws,” said Kerri Milton, executive director of the Downtown Penticton Association, which operates the community market.

Council introduced an amendment adding “liquor sales and or tasting within an outdoor market in accordance with the B.C. liquor control and licensing branch,” to the definition of an outdoor market.

Mayor Garry Litke said the city purposefully chose to avoid adding too much regulation to the process, preferring instead to leave that to the markets.

“We are expecting market associations will be very stringent about the enforcement of the provincial regulations,” said Litke. “What the City of Penticton has decided is to not introduce more red tape to that, to allow the provincial regulations to evolve and to serve our community.”

Liquor will be available at both markets, though they are each taking a different approach. Trainer said the farmers’ market, already tight for space, will be allowing two vendors in each week on a rotating basis.

“It is the peak season right now, so all of our farmers are wanting to come right now,” said Trainer. All of the stalls, she said, are usually sold by January; when one of those vendors lets her know they won’t be attending, Trainer rotates someone else in from their list of casual vendors. She said she will be using a similar system for the wineries. “We are now building a list of applications. The wineries that align closest to our values, like the smaller wineries, we will probably be taking those first,” said Trainer.

The downtown community market is planning on allowing more liquor vendors.

Milton said they will be setting aside the 400 block of Main Street where they will mix farm vendors and four or five winery associations.

SIZZLING SUMMER SEAFOOD! GRAND PRIZE DRAW

The promise of better wireless service hasn’t been enough to persuade some Naramata residents of the need for a new telecommunications tower in their community.

Telus is currently working through the public consultation phase of a plan to install a 40-metre monopole on a Smethurst Road agricultural property next to the KVR Trail,

which has prompted some backlash.

“A lot of people have concerns who live around it, for various reasons, one being it usually diminishes property value. And one that’s really important to me is the impact on the KVR,” said Karla Kozakevich, the area director for the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen. “As you’re going along the KVR, due to (the monopole’s) height, it’s going to be above the trees. You’re going

to be looking right at it.”

While authority to permit the tower ultimately rests with Industry Canada, permission would also be required from the Agricultural Land Commission, as the structure would be a non-farm use.

Kozakevich said the RDOS can effectively kill the project by declining to forward Telus’s application to the ALC, so she’ll be listening closely to public sentiment at an

open house Thursday from 5-7 p.m. at the OAP Hall.

Among those in attendance will be Denys Bouton, who lives about 340 metres from the proposed tower location and helped create a website, www. whatabadidea.com, to raise awareness of the plan since federal law required only a handful of nearby landowners be notified.

“The real problem is (the proposed tower’s) position next to the KVR,” said Bouton.

“I think it would have a profound impact on tourism in this area, and this is an area where last fall the (B.C.) government spent $140,000 to upgrade the trail.”

Telus spokeswoman Liz Sauve said in a statement that the company’s existing infrastructure in the area is nearing capacity, “so without this new site, wireless services in the community will start to degrade in the near future – meaning more dropped calls, slower data speeds, and the like.”

She noted the tower would be painted green to help it blend in with nearby trees, and the proposed location was carefully selected “to ensure it provides the maximum amount of coverage where it’s needed.”

“While our first choice is always to place a site on an existing tall piece of infrastructure,” Sauve added, “there isn’t an appropriate structure in this area.”

Young men face highest risk of drowning Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Special efforts should be made to educate young men about drowning prevention, a B.C. Coroners Service review panel recommended following a special investigation.

Experts probed the deaths of 35 young people who drowned between 2007 and 2013 and found that nearly three-quarters of the victims were males between 15 and 19 years in age.

A third of the cases involved drugs or alcohol.

“In order to address the risk of drowning in B.C., it is essential that water safety and drowning prevention messaging target parents and male youth specifically,” concluded the report, which recommended several agencies work together on the project.

One of the agencies mentioned, the B.C.Yukon branch of the Lifesaving Society, is in the early stages of developing a plan to act

on the recommendation.

“Certainly there have been other campaigns that have been successful, such as (against) drinking and driving, so I think we can take lessons from other campaigns to see what’s going to work for drowning prevention,” said Dale Miller, the society’s executive director.

Miller said the heightened drowning risk for young men was already well known and is due to a combination of factors.

“It’s an overestimation of their swimming abilities, it’s an underestimation of the risk that they’re taking, and you combine that will alcohol in many situations, and, unfortunately, that’s a dangerous mix,” he explained.

“There’s definitely a need to look at how we can get to them and hopefully change their behaviours.”

The society recorded 11 drowning deaths in B.C. through May and June, down from an average of 16 during that same period in each

Western snags city ad contract Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

After a months-long evaluation process, the City of Penticton has decided to award its advertising contract to the Western News, starting July 16.

Purchasing manager Cathy Ingram said the decision was made to end a previous practice of splitting advertising between the two local papers in order to be in compliance with the city’s purchasing policy.

“And to make sure we were getting the best value for our taxpayers as well as the best circulation to get the word out to the people,” said Ingram. “The city expects to save approximately $10,000 per year on our advertising budget.”

Penticton spent about $80,000 on advertising last year, according to communications officer Simone Blais. The city issued a request for proposals on Jan. 20, asking for bids on both its primary advertising — the regular “City Page” with items of interest to Penticton taxpayers — and its secondary advertising, consisting of display, classified and legal ads. The RFP closed on March 18, and the committee spent nearly three months evaluating the proposals before directing staff to open negotiations with the Western News on June 9. The contract was signed June 22.

“The committee weighed the Penticton Western News proposal as having a slightly higher score as a supplier for primary advertising and over a 10 point advantage on the secondary advertising,” said Ingram.

“The evaluation committee determined that this was the best way to get our best value for the advertising dollar.”

of the past four years.

Penticton and District Search and Rescue spokesman Randy Brown said his group has yet to respond to a nearby drowning this summer.

“This year it has been kind of down, because the weather hasn’t been all that good,” he said.

The team did, however, travel to Princeton to help recover the body of a 23-year-old man who drowned in the

Similkameen River in mid-June.

Brown reminded people to look after the little details surrounding their personal safety while on the water “Our message is to make sure everybody has a personal floatation device,” he said.

“The other thing is to make sure they have a heaving line so if somebody’s in distress they have some way of throwing a rope out to the them.”

MeMbers of Penticton and District search and rescue combed an area of okanagan Lake near naramata in october looking for the body of a man who fell overboard.

Coming out of the shadows

Few can argue that mental illness touches everyone.

There are, of course, those with the diagnosis.

Then there are their children, siblings, parents, friends and co-workers.

Even complete strangers are often hit with the ripples, as society is forced to bear the burden of missed work days, medical visits, inadequate treatment options, etc.

It doesn’t matter that research has led to many strategies and treatments that, when adhered to, can help sufferers live productive, even normal, lives.

Perhaps if it felt easier to talk openly about mental illness, things would be different.

For those directly affected, it can feel simpler to try to ignore the reality – to keep the door closed and the windows shuttered, so to speak.

Not the healthiest approach, really, but common nonetheless.

And while time has led to strides in the realm of mental illness, it has done less for society’s acceptance of it as a disease.

Many worthwhile stories do not get told in these pages because of the stigma attached to mental illness; the fear people have of being branded by going public with their struggle.

Mental illness are still two words that, despite so-called progress, few afflicted with the likes of depression or schizophrenia or paranoia dare to mutter outside – sometimes even inside – their immediate family.

Many of these individuals are parents, siblings, friends or colleagues of those living with a mental illness.

A few are those individuals themselves, PENTICTON WESTERN who have taken that brave step into the spotlight.

No one should feel the need to hide something they cannot control.

The reality is, many of us share the blame for the fact so many people do.

A brief history of treaty talks in B.C. A few weeks before the landmark decision declaring aboriginal title proven by the Tsilhqot’in Nation, I picked up a used university textbook that looked like a handy reference.

Geography in British Columbia: People and Landscapes in Transition, by Brett McGillivray (UBC Press, Second Edition) is a good reference, except where it strays from geography into politics.

This 2005 edition came out not long before the B.C. Treaty Commission started producing agreements, notably with the Tsawwassen First Nation.

It recounts the establishment of the Ministry of Native Affairs by the Bill Vander Zalm government in 1990, and the election the next year of Mike Harcourt’s NDP, who reversed the province’s historical legal position and tried to accept the existence of aboriginal title.

At this point the textbook departs from the facts and leads its freshman pupils into

left-wing dogma.

McGillivray writes: “When the Liberal Party won the 2001 election (with all but two seats), it launched a provincewide referendum on treaty negotiations, prompting commentators to suggest the government was ‘trying to impose 19th century Tom Fletcher ideas on a 21st century B.C. Views problem.”

by Canada and B.C.’s social and environmenfailure to complete tal progress without

individual property rights.

See the woeful state of most of Canada’s communally owned aboriginal reserves, where individually owned property isn’t permitted.

The Tsilhqot’in dropped claims of property held by non-aboriginal residents from their appeal to the highest court, a wise move considering that pushing people from their homes would lead to violent confrontations.

Other referendum questions related to preserving public access to Crown land for hunting, fishing and park use.

All were endorsed.

The only new question asked if aboriginal self-government “should have the characteristics of local government, with powers delegated from Canada and British Columbia.”

Arguably, that’s what has emerged from the Tsilhqot’in case, which upholds provincial jurisdiction over public forest policy on environmental and fire protection on aboriginal title lands.

By 2009, frustrated with a lack of progress, due to Ottawa’s inaction as well as inconsistent leadership from aboriginal communities, the Campbell government tried to cut the knot.

Its proposed Recognition Act would have accepted a form of aboriginal title across the province, based on 30 historical “indigenous nations.”

That idea originated not with the province but with the First Nations Leadership Council.

It was rejected by a broader group of aboriginal leaders later that year.

The best way forward, also endorsed in the 2002 referendum, is sharing land use planning. B.C. has also begun sharing resource revenues.

The most likely path, however, is back to court for years to come.

Water strategy all wrong

Penny wise — pound foolish. That sums up the City of Penticton’s motto “Every Drop Counts” and its water restrictions on current homeowners.

If water conservation is so important, as it should be, then why is the city continuing to build more subdivisions with hundreds of new residences into the surrounding hillsides, while telling the rest of us to be water wise?

The latest addition of multiple water users added to our landscape include the Sendero Canyon and Skaha Hills developments.

Next on the OCP crosshairs is the northeast sector subdivision to be built near Campbell Mountain.

Why should any of us take water conservation seriously if the city isn’t?

Union dues better spent

There has been 10 to 12 years now of confrontational politics with outrageous allegations by both parties in the labour unrest between the teachers and the B. C. government.

Meanwhile children and parents pay the price of this mini-war.

There are 40,000 teachers paying union dues on a graduated scale tied to salary average; $300 a month to the BCTF.

That is $12-million a month. According to news reports there is no money in the strike fund to pay for a prolonged strike.

Where is the transparency and accountability for these funds?

Teachers should question their objectives and where their best interests are served.

Is there a better option?

Professionals set their own standards and decide where the needs of their profession are best served.

Professionals create professional organizations mandated to regulate themselves and geared to meet the needs of their profession.

For example that $12 million a month could better be used to increase educational standards; foster program development; increase graduation rates and provide professional organizational facilities, etc.

This would increase the stature of teachers in the eyes of government and the public.

Teachers would knock the legs out from under government and give themselves some well-deserved credibility.

political children who will spend their summer free-loading on the barbecue trail.

Some of these over-aged children may actually listen to the cook — promising some complaints and ideas will be addressed when parliament is back in session .

They will promise anything you wish prior to devouring those luscious freebies before forgetting your name !

Take my advice if you recognize a political free-loader scanning your neighborhood.

Close the curtains, turn off lights, keep smoke to a minimum and for heavens sake be quiet because political free-loaders are known to have great listening ears and a nose like Yogi Bear when freebies are near bye.

Burger 55 and vintage car club rally to support local food banks Mark Brett

Western News Staff

Car buffs will have a chance to show off their stuff and chip in and help the hungry Saturday at the Collector Appreciation Day Cruise In and food bank drive.

The 12th annual event is organized by the Specialty Vehicle Association of BC (SVABC) and is scheduled to take place at the downtown Penticton Burger 55 location from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, July 12.

In recognition of the association’s efforts in giving back through financial contributions which come from classic car shows like the recent Peach City Beach Cruise, B.C. Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon has proclaimed July 12 and the month of July as Collector Car Appreciation Day and Month.

“This is the first time we’ve had this particular event here and it’s just to recognize all the car enthusiasts in the province and what they give back to the communities where they live,” said Bob Kelly, a local SVABC director.

“Some of them help charities through events like the different car shows such as the Peach City Beach Cruise and the Endless Summer Car show and Boyd’s (Father’s Day Car show) and the McCurdy Corner Cruise In (Kelowna) where they have a 5050 draw every week.

“In 2013, on average $5,000 per event was generated by 214 car shows.

“In addition, these clubs support food banks, show their vehicles to folks in seniors homes, sup-

Changes to the current By-Laws will be proposed and discussed prior to voting.

This meeting is for members in good standing only.

port local hospital foundations, as well as mechanical courses at local high schools, and volunteers even drive students to their graduation proms.”

One example he pointed to was the Rodtiques Car Club of Penticton tool box program which for over 11 years has donated a tool box, loaded with tools, to the top mechanical grad student.

The Beach Cruise, which took place last month, is one of the Valley’s largest and most popular events, attracting participants from throughout the United States and Canada.

Once again this year hundreds of vehicles of all makes, models, shapes and sizes took part in the three-day automotive festival. The annual Endless Summer Show and Shine is organized by the Summerland-based Apple Valley Cruisers car club.

The ninth annual event this year takes place Saturday, Sept. 13 at Memorial Park in Summerland.

Kelly added the charities are not the only ones that benefit, millions of dollars go into the local economy from those who attend from out of town and the huge input from the locals who spend considerable dollars restoring and maintaining their labours of love.

“We have lots of businesses supporting the events and the organizers (of the shows) believe that any profits should go back to charity,” said Kelly.

“But it’s usually the individuals who are the important part of all this because if you’re not charity minded I guess you won’t be doing it but most of us are volunteers and we do believe in it.”

The appreciation event is open to everyone and organizers ask people to bring a non-perishable food item.

community ~ if our fish was any fresher it would still be in the ocean ~

How many dams are one too many?

The Southern Interior of B.C. from the Rocky Mountains to Hope has very few rivers and those we do have all flow south into the U.S. Of these, the Columbia is by far the largest (larger than all the rest combined) and has so Robert Handfield many dams that it is now really a series of Nature Wise lakes rather than a river.

In our immediate vicinity the Okanagan and Similkameen are our only two rivers and the Okanagan, like the Columbia has been pretty well modified beyond recognition by numerous small dams and channelization.

Only the Similkameen remains a wild, free flowing river but it remains to be seen for how long.

Fortis Inc. has proposed to build a dam on the Similkameen River between Princeton and Manning Park.

Location aside for a moment, there are several things about this proposed dam that should be of concern to those of us in the Similkameen and Okanagan valleys. First off, don’t confuse this dam with the small structures we have on the Okanagan River.

This dam, if built will be about 200 metres high and the reservoir formed behind it will be about 20 kilometres long. Fortis has publicly stated that the dam does not make economic sense considered solely for its hydroelectric production.

So what then?

Well, Fortis is trying to get Washington State to pay for the water storage that the dam will have.

Now you might ask, why would Washington want to do that? Because with a controlled river, they will be able to increase the amount of land under irrigation and a consequence of that (intended or not) is that our farmers and orchardists will suffer even more competition from the increased amounts of produce that will result.

Partially as a result of the dams built in B.C. on the Columbia River, apple production in Washington (totally dependent on irrigation) has increased more than six-fold since 1968 so that now Washington produces more than 20 times the apples that B.C. grows.

Fortis, if they are successful, can legally sell all the water storage available to U.S. interests for 50 years, leaving B.C. agricultural interests without access to that water.

This is even more remarkable in that no modern study has yet been made of the future water needs of the BC section of the Similkameen Valley, one of our premier agricultural regions. This dam is not needed for electricity generation nor for flood control; it seems to be planned solely so Fortis can make a profit by selling water storage benefits to U.S. interests.

An international steering committee previously put together had representatives from the U.S. (Okanogan Public Utility District, various tribes and agricultural interests) and B.C. (Lower and Upper Similkameen Indian Bands, Fortis, and Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen).

To quote Ken Farquharson, an engineer who worked on the Columbia dams and has been closely involved with other river issues in southern B.C.,

“The committee is unprecedented in that, while dealing with a Crown resource, it had no representative of the B.C. government, and was very unbalanced in that it contained representatives of the OK PUD, Fortis, and agricultural interests in the U.S. who had much to gain, and weak and inexperienced representation from the public or RDOS in B.C. The lambs lay down with the wolves.”

Also of concern is that the Washington Dept of Ecology has budgeted $1.6 million to give to Fortis in 2015 to help pay for the study of the downstream benefits to Wash.

The B.C. government has apparently washed its hands of the whole project and is allowing Fortis and U.S. interests to determine how the river should be managed and who gets the benefits.

The people of B.C. in general and the OkanaganSimilkameen in particular should be screaming at the top of their lungs at this dereliction of duty.

One of the jobs of government is to look after the interests of the citizens, not hand over the assets of the province to private corporations to do with as they wish.

On the other hand, when you look at how the government of the past 13 years has handled our best interests, this really comes as no surprise.

Hip hop hoser takes his song out for a rip Kristi Patton Western News Staff

With over 5.7 million YouTube views, hip hop artist B Rich is taking his song Out For a Rip across Canada.

The hip hop hoser, whose real name is Brendan Richmond, said it all started when his fellow musicians south of the border encouraged him to bring his Canadianisms and “Canucklehead” voice to the mic.

“They are from Baltimore and Pittsburgh and we always talk in our local accents when we are hanging out and one day they said you should do a whole track in the hoser voice,” said Richmond, whose tour is stopping in Penticton at The Elite on Saturday. “I remember them commenting on how the Canadian accent is so non-threatening, it’s really like friendly and everything sounds like a question.”

The song, Out For A Rip, which was written a few years ago and intended to be on a solo album, almost wrote itself. It has things any Canadian would recognize from Tim Horton’s, plaid jackets to hockey and syrup, and hits almost every Canadian stereotype. But it is the chorus that gets everyone hooked. Out for a rip is a phrase used when heading out for a drive with a bunch of friends and simply hanging out.

“I grew up in a small town in Ontario and it was a thing everyone said, ‘Just going out for a rip.’ But, it was when I was on my way to my parents house out in the country and pulled into this gas station that I always stop at that there was this young hockey kid pumping the gas and he stuck his head in my window and says, ‘Just out for a rip are ya bud?’” said Rich-

Hip Hop artist B rich (Brendan richmond), whose Out For A Rip song is a viral hit, is on a cross-Canada tour that is stopping in penticton at the Elite on saturday.

mond. “When I was writing the verses I didn’t know what the hook was going to be, then that popped into my head. I always wonder if that guy remembers saying that to me or if it is something he just said to everyone.”

It was a video Richmond made to go along with it that set things in motion. The band USS, which is scheduled to perform at Boonstock on the August long weekend, found it online and were playing it at sound checks as well as other bands who were getting a good reception from audiences.

Richmond heard this and decided maybe it

submitted photo

was time to start promoting the song. He uploaded the video one evening, not expecting much and went out with his friends. By the next morning it had 20,000 views; 100,000 by the end of the day and a million in a week.

“It was a crazy week. It was pretty shocking,” said Richmond. “I try not to watch it anymore and just let it do its thing. I should probably go back and watch it to see what all the fuss is about.” Richmond said he even got a call by TSN to create a third verse for Out For A Rip tailored for the NHL Panel.

That was made into a comedy video with

TV sports personalities, including James Duthie and Bob McKenzie, playing along.

As a huge hockey fan it was a dream for Richmond, and it continues to be. He hears stories every day of the crazy places his song has been.

“I got an email from some friends traveling in South East Asia in a bar in Cambodia and my song came on. Someone sent me a pic of an Out For a Rip personalized licence plate and truck decals. It is so weird but awesome at the same time,” said Richmond. “There is actually companies out there selling Out For a Rip T-shirts. Someone at the Olympics was in the crowd with a sign that said, Just out for a gold are ya bud?”

Toronto Blue Jays slugger Brett Lawrie has even acknowledged the song, tweeting the lyrics from his account. Richmond though, is not looking to be a one-hit wonder. Oddly enough, considering some of the words in his hit song, he had a successful gig performing hip hop for children. Hey Kids is a group he was part of that rapped about everything from robots, to how to give a high-five, the alphabet and other things meant to entertain children. Richmond has also been working with a group of lyricists (Shark Tank) in the U.S. and working on finishing his solo album.

“I’m not looking to write a whole album of hoser rap. I like it, but I don’t want to do too much and for it to get old. My solo stuff is normal hip hop. I grew up blue collar so it’s a lot about that,” he said. “For now, I’m just out here working hard and taking this song across Canada.”

Richmond is performing at The Elite on July 12. Tickets are $10.

Kyle Martins made the Pinnacles FC under-15 boys soccer team provincial champions, when he buried the 1-0 winner in double overtime against the South Burnaby Strikers in Richmond July 6.

“It was amazing,” said coach Joe Afonso. “They were definitely the toughest team we’ve played.

The boys were just drained at the end. When you get to that level, it’s just not about talent, it’s about adversity, right? The group worked as a team. It wasn’t just individual plays. It’s nice to see at 15-years-old, they come together.”

The team broke out in celebration of their Les Sinnot Memorial championship by running towards goalkeeper Jacob Stokker, who Afonso said played amazing.

“I overheard a lot of kids say I can’t believe we just won the gold medal,” said Afonso.

The group felt this was the best year for them to win. A big part of making

that happen was the play of the defensive line.

“They were definitely so strong that game,” added Afonso, who praised the efforts of all his players. “Had they played any weaker, their strikers would have went right through us and won the game.”

As a coach, Afonso said it’s humbling to win because the players worked so hard.

“You want the kids to win, but you want them to have fun and enjoy the

game that I love,” he said.

U17s get silver

Pinnacles FC U17 coach Paulo Araujo said his team overachieved after they lost the championship game 2-1 in penalty shots to the Saanich Fusion Impact.

“I thought our team played very well. They worked very hard,” said Araujo, who watched his group trail 1-0 in the first half. “The boys battled back. Moises

Mumjuia scored a beautiful free kick to tie it up (in the second half).”

In the second half, Pinnacles FC dominated and Araujo said they should have scored more. In round robin play, the Pinnacles faced Cliff Avenue United, Delta Coastal FC Royals and the Columbia Valley Titans, winning twice and tying to finish first.

Michael Hengen is making a step he hopes takes him closer to coaching in the National Hockey League.

Hengen, 26, is leaving his post as assistant coach of the Penticton Vees to join the Prince George Cougars in the WHL as assistant/ strength and conditioning coach, according to the Cougars’ website.

The Vees announced the move on Friday, while also promoting assistant coach Steve Cawley to assistant general manager and having Travis Deaust oversee the scouting department as Tom Hengen also leaves.

The Cougars contacted Michael Hengen two weeks ago asking if he was interested in a position. Hengen also spoke with Cougars coach Mark Holick, who

is from Penticton, and interim general manager Todd Harkins.

“This was a step that I needed to take with coaching,” said Hengen.”

Having played in the WHL before I played for (Vees coach-GM) Fred (Harbinson) in 2007/08. If there was ever an opportunity to move on, I had always known in the back of my mind that would have been probably the best option for me.”

Hengen said coaching in Penticton was “absolutely unbelievable and I wouldn’t trade it for the world,” and thanked the fans and the community for their support for him and his wife, Melody, adding they will always have Penticton in their hearts.

Hengen, who played 226 games for five WHL teams, said it’s a situation he couldn’t refuse.

“For my development as a

coach, I think this is an outstanding new challenge for myself and my family,” he said, adding that Michael Hengen his wife has a new job lined up with RBC, her current employer.

What excites Hengen is the young defencemen he gets to work with.

“Now with the new ownership group and their commitment to detail and their commitment to developing the new players and with this stable of young defenceman I’m going to have to work with, is an unbelievable opportunity,” he said.

Hengen said helping the Vees win the 2012 RBC Cup is a high-

light for him, but so was every August when a new season approached and knowing there was a chance to win another championship. Being part of that culture alongside Harbinson is something Hengen said he will take with him.

Harbinson said the organization is grateful for the contributions made to the Vees by the Hengen’s.

“Both have been instrumental in the success of our program and I feel very fortunate to have worked alongside both of them,” said Harbinson, adding that Mike and Tom had family on their mind when making their decisions.

As a player, Hengen won a Fred Page Cup with the Vees in 2008, before moving into the coaching in 2010. The search for a new assistant coach begins immediately. For full story, go to www.pentictonwesternnews.com.

TOP SALES FOR JUNE 2014

Penticton’s Zoe Simourd couldn’t have picked a better athlete to look up to than Jamaica’s Usain Bolt.

Simourd has something in common with

Bolt as she’s a fast runner too, but she also admires his laid back approach to track and field.

“He’s not super serious about it,” said Simourd of the eight-time world champion, who owns world records in

July 17-20 in the triple jump and 200-metre hurdles.

“Some people take it too seriously. It’s just not fun anymore. I’m only a kid still,” said the 13-year-old. “It’s not like the end of the world.”

Simourd also likes Bolt because he “seems like a really nice guy.”

“He always does really good. Even if he doesn’t do good, he’s not selfish about it,” she said during a break in a Penticton Athletics Club training session at the Pen High track. “He always congratulates the other athletes.”

Simourd is excited about competing in the summer games calling it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“I think it will just be lots of fun,” said Simourd, who wasn’t sure if she would qualify after her performance of landing 8.47-m in the triple jump at the Kamloops Centennial meet in May. “It’s just going to be a new experience.”

Simourd’s coach with the Penticton Athletics Club, Blair Dufty, said it’s a big step to qualify as there are a lot of strong athletes in Zone 2. Dufty, who works alongside coach Gustav Allander, said he thinks Simourd will perform very well.

“I hope top-10. There are lots of kids she doesn’t compete against normally,” he said.

Dufty believes Simourd will have success because of the work she puts in.

“She comes to prac-

PENTICTON’S ZOE SIMOURD has qualified to compete in the B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo July 17-20 in the triple jump and 200-m hurdles.

tice and works hard every single day,” he said.

“She isn’t here to fool around. She wants to improve and sets goals for herself that are very reasonable, yet I think ambitious.”

Dufty, one of three coaches for the zone, said Simourd is learning how to run the 200m hurdles. Dufty said a top-15 result for her would be outstanding. Of course he didn’t rule out

a surprise performance either.

Simourd got into the sport at age 10 after her family moved back to Penticton from Dubai.

While living in Dubai, she was always cramped up in the small apartment. Upon returning, her parents looked for sports for the kids to try.

“It’s been lots of fun,” she said.

Simourd isn’t the only member of the Penticton

Athletics Club competing in the games. Dufty’s daughter Hunter, of Summerland, qualified in the javelin, shot put and discus. Dufty is excited to take both athletes to Nanaimo and hopes Hunter also returns with some medals.

“Hunter has potential to medal in all three of her events,” he said, if she has personal bests and performs like she can.

The Black Widow rope spinners team accomplished a first in its 10-year history as two teams and three individuals had strong performances at the national championship.

The group traveled to Abbotsford May 16-19 and placed in the top five for team and individual events.

“It was great. It’s the best year that we’ve had,” said Black Widow coach Cathy Cunningham.

“Qualifying for nationals is quite competitive. We beat out some higher-level teams in the province, so it was quite exciting.”

The national championship featured 327 competitors from across Canada and Cunningham said it was great for them to beat out better teams.

“For some of these kids, they start and see older jumpers and they want to get there,” said Cunningham, who has coached in the sport for three decades. “When they get to nationals they have arrived. They are really happy about it.”

This season the Black Widow team focused on simple routines that were clean. Cunningham said several points can be lost from a mistake.

“In front of a large audience and 10 jumpers, making a miss can happen,” said Cunningham.

Ladies and gentlemen, start your grills.

A new Barbecue King is about to be named at the annual Similkameen BBQ King event this Saturday.

“We are so excited for our upcoming Similkameen BBQ King event which is our annual, signature event,” said George Hanson, president of the Similkameen Wineries Association. “It is held at the gorgeous Grist Mill and Gardens in Keremeos. It is an extraordinary evening and a very special Similkameen experience.”

The unique event is a competition where nine featured chefs compete for the coveted title by creating unique dishes for guests using organic ingredients from local farmers.

Attendees will go station to station enjoying the foods prepared by each chef, along with Similkameen wines specifically paired to go with each dish. All attendees will then get the opportunity to cast their vote for the best wine and food pairing.

ery and Bistro, Lee Humphries from Local Lounge and Grille, Jeff Van Geest from Miradoro Restaurant at Tinhorn Creek, Shayna Merritt from Shayna and Shulman Culinary Adventures, Justin Paakkunainen from Walnut Beach Resort and Adair Scott from Watermark Beach Resort.

The BBQ King title will be up for grabs as last year’s winners Karl and Jeremy Schorb, from The Branding Iron, are not participating. There will be plenty of competition though.

Last year Hartl, and his cooking partner Ross Derrick, won best wine and food pairing. Grist

Mill chef Schooten previously won media choice for best wine and food pairing.

In addition to the food and wine, there will also be live entertainment by Keremeos saxophonist and music educator Jonnie Bridgman who is joined by his band the Anja Jazz Trio.

They will deliver innovative original jazz and unique interpretations of classic standards.

Joining them will be special guest vocalist, Corrine Painter.

A silent auction will held as a partial fundraiser for the Grist Mill, which is a Heritage B.C. site.

“We are starting to get in

some absolutely amazing prizes for our silent auction, many of which are unique wine and food experiences themed around the competing chefs and our member wineries,” said Hanson.

The Similkameen BBQ King event is already over 80 per cent sold out and was completely sold out last year. Tickets are $80 and can be purchased at any of the Similkameen Winery Association member wineries, the Keremeos Visitor Centre or at the Grist Mill and online at www.SimilkameenWine.com.

Shuttle options are available from throughout the Okanagan/ Similkameen.
