July has not been a good month for organizers of the Boonstock Music and Arts Festival, but amid controversy and confusion, the event is still going ahead on Aug. 1.

Last Friday, the Liquor Control and Licensing Board announced they were denying the festival’s liquor licence application, citing potential safety concerns that had not been addressed by the festival.

Boonstock announced they would be appealing the decision, but the LCLB followed up with a more detailed release, making it clear that they would not review the decision, as well as giving a more detailed account of their concerns.

“In the case of Boonstock, our concerns about a host of issues, including the lack of safety and security planning, is why we have made the decision to not approve their application,” wrote Ray Tetzel, deputy general manager, compliance and enforcement division for the LCLB, in a press release.

On June 27, International Crowd Management, who had been booked to handle security for the event, terminated their agreement with the Boonstock festival citing safety concerns after organizers made “sudden and significant changes to the safety plan without consultation with ICM or the various city, provincial or federal stakeholders.”

Boonstock organizers worked quickly to find another firm to supply event security and on July 8, Haynes announced a new contract with 24/7 Security from Aldergrove. But according to Tetzel, as late as last Friday, Boonstock organizers had still not provided proof they had signed agreements for site secu-

Guaranteed.

rity, emergency health services (ambulances), waste management, potable water, tents or firefighting. With a reported 8,000 people having purchased tickets, Tetzel said the concerns were “much more than a liquor issue.”

“Our understanding is that other public safety agencies are also taking precautions to prepare for any potential security or safety issues during the three-day festival. RCMP are well aware and supportive of our decision to reject the liquor application.”

Andrew Jakubeit, acting as deputy mayor, said the city had not once, but twice been assured by Boonstock organizers that everything was in place.

“To have the LCLB come back and say you don’t have a signed contract for security, that was disappointing because we had been told everything was in place, both verbally and in a letter saying they had their ducks in a row,” said Jakubeit. “It’s not just one or two items that are missing, there is a little bit of a laundry list of things that are missing or not complete or no one has been shown the signed copies of.”

While the City of Penticton doesn’t have any direct involvement with Boonstock, Jakubeit said the city’s focus now is on creating a safe and fun environment for all those who come to Penticton.

“There is still many amenities for them to enjoy, plus there is still some great music that is going to be here,” he said. “Hopefully, that can still transpire where people who are coming here they still leave at the end of the day with a good feeling about it.”

To add to the confusion, the Penticton Indian Band, where the event is being held on locatee lands, withdrew their support for the Boonstock, then later renewed it the same day.

Feds help fund new bridge Joe Fries

Western News Staff

With federal funding now in place, construction is expected to begin early next year on a new bridge across the Okanagan River channel in Penticton.

Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt announced Saturday the federal government would contribute $2.4 million towards the Satikw Crossing project being undertaken by the Penticton Indian Band.

The bridge at Green Avenue will provide access from Channel Parkway to 60 hectares of land next to the airport that’s expected to become home to new retail, commercial and industrial space, and possibly a hotel.

“What I like about this project (is) at the bottom of it, this is really about ensuring the reconciliation we talk about is actually taking place in real terms,” Valcourt said following the announcement outside the PIB school.

He acknowledged part of that reconciliation means restoring access to land presently used for cattle grazing that was cut off when the Okanagan River was channelized in the 1950s. ”This could create, within the next 10 years, about 700 jobs within the area,” added Valcourt, whose ministry also chipped in $500,000 for design and engineering of the bridge.

Chief Jonathan Kruger said afterwards that although he initially expected construction to begin in September, it had to be pushed back to avoid interfering with a large salmon run expected this fall in the Okanagan River.

He now expects the project to go to tender in November, with construction starting early in January and the first retails stores open “within a year or two.”

“I think we have everything in order to make this thing a reality,” said Kruger, whose band is also contributing an unspecified amount to the project.

“The designs are done, the environmental (assessment) is done. It’s ready to go.”

He said opening up access to the lands will generate lease income for the locatee owners

South okanagan Conservatives select neufeld Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

It’s not the first time he’s tried, but Penticton realtor Marshall Neufeld has now has a shot at a political career after winning the Conservative nomination for South Okanagan West Kootenay.

The local Conservative riding association finished their nomination process Saturday, with Neufeld winning 88 per cent of the votes over fellow nominee Rick DeJong. A total of 649 party members voted in nomination meetings held in Castlegar, Grand Forks, Osoyoos and Penticton.

The 32-year-old Neufeld is a former president of the Penticton Conservative riding association and was also an aide to former Conservative MP Stockwell Day.

PentiCton indian Band Chief Jonathan Kruger was all smiles as aboriginal affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt officially announced $2.4 million for construction of a new bridge at Green avenue.

and property tax revenue for the band, moving it “one step closer towards self-sufficiency.”

“This is going to be huge for our community,” Kruger said.

Locatee owners, he added, are working directly with a marketing firm to find companies looking to get into the new space, but the chief said he’s been told five anchor tenants are already in place.

“The rest of them are waiting to see if the bridge is going to be a reality, but now it’s coming, so the phone’s probably going to be going off the hook,” Kruger added.

“It’s going to create opportunities, not only for the Penticton Indian Band, but for everybody in the whole South Okanagan re-

gion.”

It should also give Penticton residents a reason to shop at home, said Andrew Jakubeit, who represented city council at Saturday’s announcement.

“Whether we have big-box stores or commercial or industrial buildings, it will bring economic vibrancy to both our communities,” he said. “It’s going to help create Penticton as an economic hub, retail destination, and kind of slow that flow of dollars that are traditionally going north.”

The federal contribution will come from Aboriginal Affairs’ Community Opportunity Readiness Program, which helps First Nations get economic development projects off the ground.

denesiuk tosses hat into Liberal ring Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Connie Denesiuk is again looking to enter the political game, but this time she has her eye set on the federal level.

The former school board chair and trustee recently announced her intention to seek the liberal nomination for the new South Okanagan West Kootenay riding and in order to run as a candidate in the 2015 federal election.

“Penticton is traditionally a Conservative voting area and the Kootenays is traditionally NDP. But we are a new riding now,” Denesiuk said.

“I feel this is an opportunity for people to really have a hard look at where they want to go and who they want to lead. I felt it was a good opportunity to put my name forward and see if I could serve the people of the South Okanagan West Kootenay riding.”

Concern safety issues could spread into downtown BOONSTOCK from front Chief Jonathan Kruger explained that the band council was concerned the cost of the extra RCMP was covered by Boonstock.

Coun. Kevin Gabriel, the portfolio holder for Emergency and Safety Services, was quoted in the first release that, “without the deposit for the costs of the additional policing, we cannot place our community at risk. Nor should the band be liable for the additional cost to police our community as a consequence of this special event.”

Kruger said the band council held a second special meeting Tuesday regarding their support for the festival.

“As of noon today, Boonstock organizers have fulfilled and met all requirements passed by the Penticton Indian Band Council,” said Kruger, adding that the band council retracted their previous media release and reinstated their support for the event. “They (Boonstock) have put the money towards the RCMP bill, so it is an outstanding item that has been addressed now,” said Kruger.

Campbell Watt, president of the Penticton and Wine Country Chamber of Commerce, said they also continue to support the festival, with or without the blessing of the LCLB. “Currently, we are still backing Boonstock. It has opened up the door for some questions and concerns. We have our regular scheduled board meeting Wednesday and we will talk about it. As of right now, we are still supporters of Boonstock,” said Watt.

Watt said he personally believes there would have been less potential for problems if the LCLB had granted the licence. Only about half the festival goers — more than 7,000 tickets reportedly sold — will be camping on site, where they are able to consume alcohol.

“Those other 3,000 people are going to want to drink at some

point. My fear as a business representative is that they flood the downtown, because we only have two nightclubs to go and have a drink at. They don’t have the room to take an extra 500 to 2,000 people. What are those people going to do now?” said Watt.

Boonstock is also facing a backlash from some who purchased tickets, especially VIP passes, expecting access to the VIP licensed areas. Many of those have been asking whether there will be compensation, or solutions to allow people with day passes in and out privileges.

Boonstock has not replied to the concerns posted online, or media requests for interviews. Tuesday afternoon, they posted a clarification of the rules regarding alcohol, noting that those with weekend passes can purchase liquor and bring it into the campground, though there is no drinking in the concert area, and people holding day passes cannot enter the camping area.

There is going to be one bright spot for Boonstock festival goers hoping to have drink or two over the weekend. Max Picton, owner of the neighbouring Barefoot Beach Resort, announced Tuesday they had obtained a licence for a patio extension at the resort’s restaurant “It is an extra 400 seats for the weekend and it will be outside, in behind the Beach House restaurant,” said Picton. “It is a foodbased event, but there will be entertainment there. We have partnered with the Bartenders’ Guild from Kelowna and they have brought FlairFest, which is Canada’s longest running flair bartending competition.”

World renowned bartenders/performers, he said, will be entertaining the crowd and competing for prizes.

“This will be its 11th year. It’s a world recognized bar tending competition,” said Picton. “This has brought in talent from all over

the world. The biggest names in the world have competed at this event.”

Picton said this may be a permanent change of venue for the event.

“We’ve talked to him and as long as this one goes well, this will be a new staple event in Penticton.”

John Vassilaki, owner of the Liquor Mart on Green Avenue and a city councillor, is also disappointed in the LCLB decision.

He doesn’t expect problems, but said he’s doubled his stock in response and is adding two extra staff per shift to deal with busier traffic.

“The last thing we need is problems in town because people can’t get what they want. I just hope that there is a plan in place by the RCMP to take care of the city,” said Vassilaki. “The opportunity of something going wrong is much greater without them having a liquor licence than without.”

Penticton Regional Hospital says they are also prepared for the traditional busy weekend.

“August long weekend is traditionally a busy weekend for Penticton as it is a summer tourist destination and we ensure we are appropriately staffed when there are more people visiting the community. We know Penticton will be even busier with the addition of another event, and PRH has plans in place should there be extra demand on our services,” said Lori Motluk, Acute Health Service Administrator South Okanagan.

PRH will also have the province’s Mobile Medical Unit on hand, a 16-metre tractor-trailer that expands to a 90-squaremetre flexible facility with up to eight or 10 patient treatment bays, and can provide care from first aid to critical care and emergency life-saving surgery.

Rash of pet poisonings in Penticton Joe Fries

Western News Staff

At least five pets in the south end of Penticton are believed to have become sick or died in the past month due to suspected poisonings.

Some pet owners in the area have told the Western News they are now on edge, but are worried about going on the record with their concerns for fear it will further endanger their animals’ safety.

One woman, who lives on McKenzie Street and agreed to be interviewed on condition of anonymity, said her small dog became ill with vomiting and diarrhea on June 27.

“He was so sick I thought he was going to die,” she said.

The woman immediately took her dog to a veterinarian, who was able to save the pet’s life with a host of medications to treat a superinflated bowel. That cost her $800 and the vet wasn’t able to determine the suspected poison. A week later, with the dog having recovered its health, the woman was stunned when the pet retrieved from her backyard a wiener she suspects was tainted.

“Luckily, my dog just ran to me and brought it to me,” she said.

Around that same time, the woman heard from one of her neighbours, who said her dog had suffered a similar bout of sickness, while another neighbour related a story about a newspaper carrier finding a paralyzed cat lying on her driveway.

In both those cases, vets determined the animals had been poisoned, she added, bringing to three the total number of cases on McKenzie Street.

“I’m afraid,” she said. “I don’t put (the dog) out in the backyard without being supervised.”

Penticton RCMP spokesman Sgt. Rick Dellebuur was unable to locate reports about those three incidents, but said police were notified about two suspected animal poisonings on Atkinson Street on July 15.

One dog died and another became sick as a result of suspected poisonings, both of which were reported the same day, he said, adding it’s difficult for Mounties to make an arrest unless they catch a person in the act of placing poison.

Dellebuur said cases of animal poisonings typically arise when someone becomes fed up with a neighbour’s nuisance pet.

“It’s no different than a neighbourhood dispute over a fence or a noisy party or whatever,” he said.

“The unfortunate thing with this is an animal gets poisoned or dies and it’s not their fault. It goes back to the owner.”

Local animal cruelty investigators are also aware of the suspected poisonings, confirmed Corrine Ross, manager of the South Okanagan-Similkameen branch of the B.C. SPCA. “We would suggest to the public living in this area to be extra vigilant,” Ross said via email.

“Keep their dogs with them at all times, keep them on a leash in all public places, check around their own properties and don’t let them eat anything from the ground.”

She noted any suspicious activity or food items should be reported to the RCMP or the SPCA’s cruelty hotline by calling 1-855-6227722.

Fruit Tree Project harvests food for the less fortunate Joe Fries

Western News Staff

After going dormant for a year, a program devoted to finding a good home for the city’s unwanted fruit is now back in action.

“We’re a group of volunteers who will pick fruit trees in town if owners aren’t able to pick their trees, so the fruit doesn’t go to waste,” explained Alisa Senecal, the new co-ordinator of the Penticton Fruit Tree Project.

“Then we divide the fruit up so the tree owner keeps some, the volunteers will take some home, and then we donate the majority of it to different organizations.”

After operating from 2010 to 2012, the group, which is a branch of the Okanagan Fruit Tree Project, went on hiatus last summer, but has now been replanted by Senecal.

“I wasn’t living in town at the time, but I had heard about it and it sounded like a great project, so when I moved here in the fall, I decided to start planning to start it up again,” she said.

So far this year, 15 volunteers have pulled down nearly 400 kilograms of cherries and apricots.

Two-thirds of the fruit went to the Salvation Army food bank, Soupateria, Unity House, and the South Okanagan Women In Need Society’s transition house, Senecal said. She encouraged anyone who has trees that need to be picked to get in touch with her at least a week in advance, if possible, so volunteers can be arranged.

Glory MacIntyre, who helmed the project through its first three years, said her crew simply got too busy to keep it running.

“It was just a matter of time constraints and it’s a lot of co-or-

dination. Picking fruit is fun, but it’s also time consuming, (and) other things came up in people’s lives,” she said. “I’m happy Alisa has… reinvigorated the project, because it has such potential.”

MacIntyre said the project’s best year saw it harvest about 1,100 kilograms of fruit.

“And that was just a few picks, so there’s potential to pick, like, tens of thousands of pounds,” she added. “If you have a lot pickers it can add up really quickly, and there’s so much fruit around that people can utilize.”

Senecal said that besides trees to pick, the group also needs scales, bags, buckets and ladders to help get the fruit down.

To donate equipment or schedule a pick, contact the Penticton Fruit Tree Project at 250-4882376 or email pentictonfruittreeproject@gmail.com.

Approving licence may be wiser It has been a long road to get to the Boonstock Music and Arts Festival, and last week, the event was handed another setback when the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch denied their liquor licence application.

Ray Tetzal, representing the LCLB, said they weren’t convinced that potential safety concerns had been addressed. He also said public safety is of paramount concern.

Unfortunately, denying the licence may not have been the best decision; first, and foremost, is that the music festival is going ahead regardless and attendees should be able to enjoy the festival in their own fashion, which they are going to do regardless of the liquor licence.

But without a licensed area where festival goers can partake, a whole new set of concerns is created.

First is the effect on the Penticton community.

The festival is taking place on Penticton Indian Band lands, the lack of a liquor licence means festival goers wanting booze are going to be looking for ways to get across the channel as they restock their coolers.

Liquor stores near the Channel Parkway have said they are stocking up in preparation for a rush of visitors seeking alcohol.

Then there is the effect on the festival operations, as attendees do their best to sneak booze from the camping area into the stage areas itself.

Besides the obvious conflicts this might create with the security guards, we have to think that having drinks served in a licensed area would allow for more control. Or festival goers may simplyPENTICTON turn to drugsWESTERN as an alternative, much easier to smuggle into camp and into the stage areas.

With no appeal process available to Boonstock organizers, we can only hope that the decision doesn’t create problems for the festival organizers, festival goers or our community.

In defence of younger drivers A recent column on the B.C. government’s decision to raise speed limits on portions of rural highways excited numerous comments from readers.

Some questioned my suggestion that today’s new drivers are worse because they spend their formative years staring at screens in the back seat instead of looking out the window and grasping the grim physics of the real world.

There is no doubt that B.C.’s graduated licensing system for new drivers is more difficult than what my generation faced.

Those vehicle stickers with the “L” (for learner, or as teens prefer “loser”) and “N” (for novice, or in teenspeak “nerd”) have been around since 1998.

The two steps make getting a full driver’s licence a longer, more difficult and expensive process. Statistics provided by ICBC show what new drivers are up against.

First there is the written “knowledge test” to obtain a learner’s permit.

From 2004 to 2008, more than half of applicants failed in their first attempt.

Things improved in subsequent years, with a 46 per cent failure rate in 2009 declining to 42 Tom Fletcher per cent by 2013.

impaired, speed or make other fatal errors. But it’s difficult to argue that today’s system in B.C. is lenient.

A couple of readers were concerned about the effect of higher rural speed limits on older drivers.

One suggested that higher limits on rural highways are a poor mix with vacationing seniors hauling around oversized motorhomes, trailers and boats.

Another cited the coming wave of retired baby boomers and added a likely increase in marijuana-impaired drivers, all emboldened by the invitation to drive faster.

B.C.’s medical health officers issued a letter denouncing the decision by Transportation Minister Todd Stone to raise speed limits.

Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the research is clear that higher speeds increase the risk and severity of incidents.

Then there is the

government’s own position, articulated in a road safety strategy released last year by Attorney General Suzanne Anton.

“Research is conclusive that at higher speeds, more people are killed and injured in the traffic system,” it states.

“At lower speeds, fewer are killed and injured as a direct result of the safety buffer that lowered speeds create.”

The strategy notes that new technologies such as adaptive cruise control are becoming available. B.C. is also testing electronic highway speed limit signs that change with weather and traffic conditions.

Next comes selfdriving vehicle systems, so drivers will be able to check their phones again.

Review finds ambulance service quicker A recent op-ed by the provincial firefighters union president makes several claims about the provincial pre-hospital health care system that requires clarification so readers can have a balanced perspective.

To ensure that both ambulance and first responder (fire department) resources are dispatched appropriately, and the public isn’t at risk from emergency vehicles driving at high speeds unnecessarily, BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) undertook its fifth review of its Resource Allocation Plan (RAP) in 2013.

The RAP outlines which resource(s) to assign to each medical call received and how they should respond – lights and siren or routine.

Our evidence-based review found that there is no clinical benefit for patients to have first responders dispatched for several of the call types that they currently attend.

A formal consensus among EMS physicians is that only patients in cardiac or respiratory arrest, or those having total airway obstruction, benefit from a rapid ambulance response.

An ambulance is still sent to every call in B.C., however, they are responding without lights and siren more often.

Jail costs should be public

The provincial government’s claim that the public has no right to know the details of what it will cost to build and operate the Oliver jail is pure nonsense.

The doctor/patient – lawyer/client privacy clause does not apply, because in this case we are the patient, and it is our constitutional right to know all of the intimate details, and our politicians know that.

Insisting that the spending of millions of our precious tax dollars without public scrutiny borders the bizarre.

Nothing wrong with Pride parade

(re: Parade nothing to be proud of; Letters, Western News, July 16) When I read the letter to the editor, “Parade nothing to be proud of,” I was so angry at this person’s narrow mind. I say, “how dare you? Your righteous God in heaven would be ashamed at how you speak of your fellow man.”

Don’t blame the gay parade for society’s foibles, worry more about your own sins or have you become so blind and complacent you can’t see the real evil in this world?

Maybe you should read the rest of the paper, I say to you Mr. Osterberg, if the parade offends you, don’t watch.”

So for we still live in free world, thankfully!

Farmers’ Market fine the way it is

Graham Tungate proposes an interesting idea of putting all the food-related vendors in one place in the markets. The market he describes, however, is a single, and very old, one and from the name would appear to be focused on handmade and likely locally produced items. I would like to point out that in Penticton, such a change would be conflating two separate and very different markets.

The Penticton Farmers Market, now into its 24th season and considered one of Canada’s best farmers’ markets, is run by a private society with strict standards and regulations that members must adhere to; it is the market

With these changes, ambulances are getting to critically ill or injured patients faster ...

Ambulance dispatchers assess the patient’s condition over the phone and prioritize every call for service – people with life-threatening conditions get the fastest response with the highest trained paramedics available.

When appropriate, dispatchers notify first responders that there is a patient that would benefit from having fire fighters provide first aid as soon as possible.

This notification occurs in seconds, not minutes as stated.

First responders remain able to upgrade the call if they have concerns about the ambulance response.

With these changes, ambulances are getting to critically ill

in the 100 block of Main Street. The Community Market, which covers three blocks to the south, is run by the Downtown Penticton Association; I have no idea what standards or regulations govern its vendors, but it does appear that many of the items on sale are not locally grown, produced, or sourced.

Farmers markets are primarily places to sell locally produced farm products sold by the farmers and employees with of course the inclusion of some locally made and sold food and other products and crafts. The focus, however, is on those terms ‘locally grown, made, and sold’. I would not like to see the PFM weaken that important and central philosophy by including industrial-style, massmarket food products among their offerings or being part of a sort of ‘food court’ that did.

Eva Durance Penticton

or injured patients faster and those with non-life threatening conditions have been waiting only a few minutes more on average.

An EMS expert reviewed the process used to update the RAP and found that the methodology was consistent with contemporary best practices nationally and internationally, used robust clinical evidence, and is superior to the processes used in many major EMS systems.

BCEHS continues to monitor the RAP changes – which have only been implemented for ambulances so far, not first responders – on a system-wide basis and review individual calls when the response was questioned. To date there have been no negative clinical patient outcomes attributed to the RAP changes.

BCEHS greatly values the role of first responders and will continue to work on strengthening this partnership using medical evidence and facts to enhance care and service for patients.

vesting in infrastructure is the single most cost-effective way to drive more jobs and growth.

Statistics Canada says large investments in infrastructure drive the biggest productivity gains. Former Bank of Canada governor David Dodge says it’s fiscally irresponsible to fail to invest at a time when low interest rates can be converted into durable capital assets.

Yet the Harper government has chopped the flagship infrastructure fund by 87 per cent delayed three-quarters of it until after 2019 and made it hard for municipalities to access.

They are going in exactly the wrong direction.

We can do better. Canada can boost our anemic growth, lift job-creation and reduce families’ anxieties about their future—but only if the federal government takes its blinders off.

Scott Brison, MP Liberal Party of Canada Finance Critic

Job losses expose a stalled economy

The latest job numbers offer yet more confirmation that most of the Canadian economy is stalled.

Over 9000 jobs were lost in June. Combined with the 16,000 people who entered the labour force, unemployment is up 25,000 (not including those who have given up looking for work altogether). The economy simply isn’t creating enough jobs to keep up with demand.

And the long-term picture has been getting worse. This year’s tepid job growth is down from last year, which was down from the year before that. Overall, Stephen Harper has the worst economic growth record of any prime minister since R. B. Bennett.

Since he formed a majority government in 2011, Canada’s employment rate has grown more slowly than every other G7 country except Italy.

It’s no mystery why. Consumer demand is tapped-out by record household debt and private sector expansion is held back by a lack of confidence. And under Mr. Harper, the federal government is fixed on austerity solely to feed his political vanity: by concocting the appearance of a balanced budget on the eve of the next federal election, no matter the sputtering growth, or the hundreds of thousands of Canadians out of work.

The federal Finance Department says in-

Vandals strike again

Once again vandals have struck at the corners of Robinson, Nanaimo East and Ellis Street. The first time last summer, graffiti on the signs spoiled the two pictures of an architects proposed rendition of a state of the art Performing Arts Centre.

The signs were replaced by the Society and this time some very thoughtless and ignoble person(s) stole one of the four-by-eight foot signs and broke in two the second sign.

One of the four-by-four inch posts was also wrenched from the ground and stolen.

This vandalism took some considerable effort.

What does it take to use that energy for the many good causes in this world and stop this senseless vandalism?

Look past bad apples

My husband Alan and I have spent considerable time with our First Nations peoples.

They are some of the most caring and considerate people we have ever met.

Their welcome most genuine. So some of them maybe imitating some of us by being less than honest, and drinking.

Where did they get these ideas from?

William Dick Vice-president, medical programs BC Emergency Health Services

And who brought the booze? We could have learned so much from our First Nations, instead we tried to eliminate them.

The First Nations had natural cures for all sorts of ailments, even a birth control made from nature. I wonder sometimes, “Is there any hope for mankind?”

Safety is an issue

(re: Safety not an issue, Letters, Western News, July 16) There have been no issues with the walkway in the past years because it’s a completely different layout. There is now a bump out where the drop is 3 metres into the water.

The small voices instilling fear mentioned in the letter to the editor is that of the voice of a child screaming as he’s falling off the edge.

The City of Penticton is lucky nothing happened to the child that did fall in.

A few months earlier when it was solid ice we might be singing a different tune. Adding a few bars to a small section, is that really going to ruin your view?

If so, walk over a few feet, you should be fine.

Birks escapes addiction uses new lease on life to combat human trafficking Mark Brett

Western News Staff

Professional triathlete Justin Birks is a winner wherever he competes.

Since pulling himself out of the downward spiral of drug and alcohol addiction, every day is a good day for the 32-year-old Penticton resident.

So whenever he participates in a race, regardless of finishing in the money or not, it is a huge personal victory.

To celebrate his new lease on life, Birks has committed to a cause dear to his heart that he recently connected with through his sport.

The non-profit Not for Sale and More than Sport organizations were created to combat human trafficking which includes everything from prostitution to child slave labour, locally, nationally and world wide.

“When I came out of my addiction struggles, renewed by my Christian faith, I just saw the world from a different perspective,” said Birks, who has committed to raising $1,000 this year by donating 10 per cent of his winnings.

“I came across literature on human trafficking and how rampant it was and I just wanted to do something.

“I’ve just always had a big heart for children and I did some mission work for kids when I was a teenager.

“It’s kind of always been there but I didn’t really start pursuing it until this year when I realized how rampant the problem is.”

In his most recent race, the Peach Classic Triathlon, he finished in second place overall.

Birks recalled growing up in Penticton and catching Ironman fever at a very early age, largely from his father’s participation in the event.

He eventually went on the kids circuit where he had considerable success but at the age of 14 decided to switch to hockey.

He also did well in that sport reaching the junior and university

Penticton’s Justin Birks wheels into the transition area of the recent Peach classic triathlon on his way to a second place finish in the pro category of the race. the 32-year-old has turned his life around and is now looking to help others.

level and even tried out for a semi-pro team but unfortunately the lifestyle took it’s toll.

At age 26 he found himself hooked on drugs and booze but things changed in 2008 when he sat in a restaurant listening to his father and uncle talking about their glory days of Ironman.

“I remember the conversation vividly,” said Birks.

“It was during that conversation between them that my heart came alive again and I remembered the joy that I felt when I competed as a kid.”

At that point he decided to clean up his act,

registered for the 2009 Ironman and enlisted the assistance of two of the sports icons, Kevin Cutjar and Olly Piggin, to whip him into shape.

Despite his nervousness at the start line of that race, Birks clocked a time good enough for 36th place overall and first in his age division.

He won his first race as a pro on Vancouver Island. In 2013 after deciding to trade in his tools as an electrician for running shoes, a wetsuit and a two-wheeler.

It was also a pivotal year because he married his wife Jocelyn who he says is one of his biggest supporters.

Birks now looks forward to a bright future and hopes to be able to give others that same outlook.

“Just to help the men, women and children who are affected in slave-like conditions.

Just to give them some dignity and a chance to live out their lives with some value and give them an opportunity to pursue what they’re passionate about, just like I was able to when I was a kid,” he said.

Anyone who would like to help Birks in his quest can visit his website for more information, www.justinbirks. com.

Saturn more than just a pretty star

Ken Tapping Stargazing Notes

It might not look like much, just a moderately bright, yellowish star in the southwest, but it is one of the most beautiful objects in the sky.

You need only a small telescope to enjoy the spectacle. That object is the planet Saturn, the sixth planet from the sun; we live on the third.

A small telescope will show a tan-coloured sphere, possibly crossed by darker or lighter belts of cloud. However, what makes this planet so spectacular is that it is surrounded by a system of concentric rings of different brightnesses.

This is what impressed Galileo, Cassini, Huygens, Herschel and astronomers ever since.

The planet is a huge sphere with a diameter of about 120,500 km. By comparison, our world’s diameter is 12,756 km.

Interestingly, a day on Saturn (how long the

planet takes to rotate once on its axis) is only 0.44 of one of our days.

The Earth’s rotation means someone standing on the equator is moving eastwards at around 1,670 km/h. Thanks to Saturn’s larger diameter and shorter day, on that planet, that same person would be moving at more than 35,800 km/h.

When looking at Saturn with a moderately large telescope, one does get a strong impression of a planet that it is spinning rapidly, with its clouds all pulled out into belts extending around it.

When we look at Saturn, we do not see its surface; we see the top of a deep layer of dense cloud. We actually have little idea as to what sort of body is concealed below that cloud. However, we can get an idea.

One cubic centimetre of the body of our planet has a mass of 5.5 grams.

This is consistent with a ball of rock with a core of iron and nickel. One cubic centimetre of water has a mass of one gram. If we take a lump of rock and drop it into water, it would sink, because a cubic centimetre of rock weighs more than a cubic centimetre of water.

J & C Bottle Depot at 200 Rosetown Avenue (behind McDonalds)

250-492-5144 We take used Computers, TV’s, Printers, Fax Machines, Scanners, Keyboards and Paint Cans.

Saturn has 95 times the mass of the Earth.

However it has about 850 times its volume.

So one cubic centimetre of Saturn would have a mass of only 0.6 grams. If we had a big enough bucket of water the planet would float.

Saturn has to be mostly gas, with a small lump of rock inside.

The rings are fascinating things too. They consist of gravel, dust and ice particles, all orbiting Saturn in the same plane. They look solid because the particles are quite concentrated by cosmic standards.

Two obvious questions are firstly how did those rings get like that, and secondly how, over billions of years, did they stay like that?

Our solar system started as a collapsing cloud of gas and dust.

Since almost every cloud has a bit of rotation in it somewhere, it collapsed into a rotating, flat disc of material. The core of this disc collapsed to form the sun, and most of the rest coagulated into lumps that became the planets and other objects we see orbiting the sun. So, if Saturn has a disc of material rotating around

it, why hasn’t that collapsed into lumps, perhaps into moons or asteroids? Certainly that is not happening, and over the centuries of observing Saturn, we have seen no sign of it happening. We do not have the whole answer as to why, but we certainly have at least part of an explanation.

The tides on Earth are due to the sun and moon attracting our oceans more strongly on the side of our planet facing them than they do the other side. If we were close enough to the sun, these tidal forces would pull the Earth apart. The rings on Saturn are so close to the planet that tidal forces would prevent ring particles coagulating into larger objects. Astronomers used to think the rings of Saturn would not be around for long. Now it looks as though they have been around for billions of years and will be around for a while yet.

“If you listen to our first album and EP, we had a mix of Caribbean influence, Latin influence, a very West Coast sound. This album we haven’t been travelling around as much but it is basically an R&B album.

It is a matter of what we were feeling and we wanted to hone into one thing and not spread ourselves into too many sounds,” said Ross.

One of the tracks, Real Love, is a single they released last summer and helped develop the overall feeling of their new, focused sound. Ross co-wrote some of the songs with Injeti for Love Is Overdue.

“That is the title of one of the songs on the album. We thought Love Overdue is so right because the album was overdue for us,” said Ross.

Marley causing their music to be drenched in rich, roots soul.

Ross had success with his debut album in 2008, Butterfly Man, with the party anthem When the Night. It reached No. 6 on the Much More music chart and was featured in an episode of the teen drama series 90210. Delivered, a ballad on the album, earned the award for Best Roots Song at the Just Plain Folks Music Awards in Nashville, TN. But it was the bands first album ¡Hot Rum! that earned the Boom Booms a spot in Vancouver’s PEAK Performance Project.

The second place win of $75,000 opened new opportunities for them.

“We decided that we wanted to not just use music as a means to travel the world, but to make a career for it and that is when we applied. It was the perfect jump start to get things going,” said Ross.

The Boom Booms produced and re-

leased their travel documentary, Boom Boom Brazil, with the help of prize money.

It followed the band on unpredictable adventures as they toured Brazil and were immersed in native traditions and customs.

It also raised awareness of the Belo Monte Dam’s impact with candid discussions with locals and stunning videography.

It caused the production crew some trouble because they didn’t have official documentation to film and were asking questions about the construction of the controversial dam.

Then the director caught malaria and another member of the production team was robbed and stabbed in the arm. Still, the idea of exposing social issues and the cultural impact music has on its people keeps the Boom Booms wanting to pursue the concept more.

BOOM BOOMS from p. 10 “We long had the idea of doing a travel music show and pitch it to a television network, and we still do. We would like to do Haiti, Cuba, the Congo and learn about the music and also report on important social issues going on in that country,” said Ross.

Since the documentary, the Boom Booms have only been rocketing upwards. Last year they were featured on Aloe Blacc’s smash single, The Man. The platinum selling song became the feature track for the Beats by Dre commercial starring Kevin Garnett of the National Basketball Association. This year they were invited to the Pemberton, Squamish, Invermere and Boonstock music festivals

Soulful jams bring banging sound to Boonstock and will play the PNE in Vancouver among a number of other gigs on their summer tour.

They haven’t forgotten their roots in Vancouver though. They started a small block party in 2008 with a bare bones stage and barbecue to raise funds for the community they grew up in.

Last year they raised around $14,000 for nonprofit group The Music Tree and the annual event has evolved into the East Van Summer Jam featuring a number of bands.

“We grew up in East Vancouver and this community is changing so fast, we just wanted to get money and be ambassadors in our own way. We want to make money to give back to the community,” said Ross. “It is all about supporting grassroots projects that involve youth.

We also work with communities in Nairobi, Uganda and Brazil too.”

Ross never thought music would take him so far and part of the reason why he feels committed to giving back in some way. Focused on basketball in high school, he dreamed of becoming a NBA player, or at the very least earning a U.S. scholarship and becoming a lawyer or doctor. It was his good friend Levon Kendall, professional basketball player and cofounder of The Music Tree, whose dad was a piano player in Doug and The Slugs that piqued Ross’s interest in music. When Ross’s high school basketball team fell apart, music was on the sidelines waiting.

sic. I fell back into it. I bought a laptop, a microphone and recorded an album to give out to my friends. It got passed along and eventually someone produced the record,” said Ross.

His school friends, his brother and two others they met at a tree-planting camp in Merritt joined forces to create the Boom Booms shortly after Butterfly Man came out.

“It is pretty crazy how things all came together. I feel very lucky every day for the life I get to live,” said Ross.

The Boom Booms perform at Boonstock on the Shuswap Stage on Aug. 1 from 12:35 a.m. to 2 a.m. Boonstock takes place July 31 to Aug. 3 with mainstage acts including Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Armin Van Buuren and more.

Visitors can enjoy sun, shade, orchard, garden and field as well as the chatter of cool running Keremeos Creek.

Musical entertainment happens from 1 to 3 p.m. with Just Tyme, the duo of Eddie Plotnikoff and Elizabeth Freedman, offering original tunes with a mix of Celtic, country and folk. Bring a chair and sit where you like at the Outdoor Kitchen Stage.

Jacked and juiced auto enthusiasts heat up skaha Beach for car show Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

Lift kits to custom paint jobs, Skaha Beach will be the place for auto enthusiasts this weekend for the inaugural JCI Penticton Jacked & Juiced custom truck and car show.

“We even have the Boys and Girls Club in Summerland taking their old bus and getting all the kids to paint it then enter it,” said car show organizer Brent Fitzgerald.

“It’s going to be a mix of hot rods, lowered and chopped trucks, semi trucks, Jeeps and jacked up trucks.”

Fitzgerald said whether you just added a lift kit to your truck or went all out with custom rims, roll bars, brush guards, graphics and paint, you are invited to enter your 14-073.15_PS_Fireplace_4.3125x7-P1.indd 1

5/2/2014 2:22:22 PM

If you have always loved the summer at the beach

cars into the show.

“It should be a nice couple of days so we expect the car enthusiast will have a look out their window and decide to come down and enter.

We are expecting a pretty good turnout,” said Fitzgerald.

Vehicles will be on display to the public for free from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and the beverage garden on Skaha Beach will be open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday a pancake breakfast will be held at 8:30 a.m. Prizes will be handed out for the people’s choice truck and people’s choice car. First place will receive $1,000, second place $500 and third place $250.

The custom truck and car show presented

by Boyd Autobody and

Glass is a fundraiser for the JCI Summer Day Camp for Kids. JCI Penticton hosts various events annually to support the camps. For the past 20 or so years, JCI Penticton has supported the summer day camps by contributing funds to the City of Penticton recreation centre to offer activities and field trips to campers throughout the summer.

JCI previously held the Mr. Muscle and Miss Bikini contest on the B.C. Day long weekend but decided to do something different this year.

“We just wanted to do something new and something a little more all inclusive where kids can be part of it too,” said Fitzgerald.

The beverage garden will be located in the sand, the same location

as the Mr. Muscle and Miss Bikini was previously held near the sun dial on the east portion of Skaha Lake. DJ Shakes will be playing music and Fitzgerald said they may have resort-style games for people to play.

Children will have their own fenced-off area with a rock wall, bouncy castles and food vendors.

“Bring down a towel and hang out at the beach.

The beverage garden is totally free to get in and it will be a lot more of a relaxed atmosphere with lots of tents for shade and picnic tables to sit at,” said Fitzgerald.

Those looking to register their vehicles can do so online at www.jackedandjuiced.com. Anyone wanting to volunteer at the event can email volunteers@jackedandjuiced.com.

Pinnacles win Challenge Cup, again Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

The Pacific Coast Soccer League’s Bill Gillespie Challenge Cup is staying in Penticton thanks to a 2-1 win over the Peninsula Co-op Highlanders Sunday at King’s Park.

“I’m beyond excited. I can’t really put it into words,” said Pinnacles captain Alana Parker, who netted the winner with about 10 minutes remaining. “We battled hard, they were the favourite to win. They won the league. We hadn’t won against them in the whole season.”

Parker said the group knew they could win if they finished their chances. Parker, who had just one goal on the season, didn’t make a mistake, burying her shot into the low right side.

“I wasn’t coming off a lot of positivity,” she said. “To be able to make that run and get the ball, put it in the net, feels great. I was beyond excited. I knew we had the game after that.”

The Pinnacles opened the scoring on a header by LaDawn Latawiec on a corner kick, but the Highlanders tied it at 1-1 just before the opening half ended.

“I thought we played really well. There were nerves early on,” said Parker. “We had some poor touches, but once we got our confidence and the feel of the game, and started to create chances, we played really well.”

Peninsula Co-op Highlanders coach Nikki Kaufmann said her team played outstanding, but commended the Pinnacles.

“They didn’t make it easy for us,” said

Kaufmann. “They came out to play and to win. It’s great for them on home turf.”

The Pinnacles received strong goalkeeping from Emily Edmundson, who made the saves when called upon. However, Edmundson said she wasn’t challenged a lot.

“There weren’t a whole lot of strong scoring chances because a lot of them were blocked or kicked away,” said Edmundson, who plays for the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack. “There was one off the cross bar in the first half. Their goal was obviously a pretty good shot.”

Edmundson said it’s a great feeling to win again.

“I couldn’t have done it with a better group of girls,” the Kamloops product said.

“Makes the whole season worth it.”

Coach Ray Hintz’s excitement was for his players.

“It feels so good for the girls,” he said.

“Just the commitment level they picked up in the last two or three weeks, it was great.

Very happy for every individual on the team.”

Pinnacles veteran Jana Yates was named most valuable player for the tournament and the Summerland product said she was surprised and happy to get that recognition.

“It was a tough weekend for me. It’s nice to have that to hold,” said Yates, who ended up with a few bumps and bruises. “Sitting on the bench the last 20 minutes, letting our team go ahead and take care of things, score a goal, it’s exciting. I’m proud of us.”

Penticton’s Eneas good in Bull-A-Rama Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Bull riding ain’t easy, but it’s fun.

That’s why Penticton’s Chad Eneas keeps hopping on the ferocious bulls.

Sunday wasn’t as good as Saturday for the Penticton bull rider in the Bull-A-Rama presented by Penticton Speedway and Penticton Toyota last weekend.

On Saturday, in front of a packed crowd of about 3,000, Eneas scored 82 to take second in the long round, 77.5

in the short round for fourth and finished third in average with 159.5.

“I did OK. Just having fun,” said Eneas, who thanked Speedway owner Johnny Aantjes for putting the event on and said it was great to see the crowd support. “It’s kind of the luck of the draw and it depends on the day you are having.”

Eneas said the bulls were decent and he took nothing away from the riders who came from as far as Australia, New Zealand and Mexico.

“They are trying hard and they deserve what they get,”

said Eneas, who pocketed $3,346. On Sunday, he went home empty-handed and disappointed.

“That bull beat me out of the chute pretty bad,” said Eneas. “I didn’t get a good start on them. I just couldn’t get back over there.”

Vernon’s Cody Moore won the long round, while Caroline, Alta.’s, Chris Hansen took the short round and average. Hansen liked how he performed, earning a payout of nearly $3,000.

“Today is a good day,” said Durazo, who was impressed by Penticton’s beauty and beaches.

Durazo, 22, has been riding professionally since he was 17 and said the setup for the event was pretty good.

Janice Jack of TM Rodeo Co. said the weekend went smooth and they were ahead of schedule on Sunday.

“It’s pretty exciting to have that kind of a calibre of rider here at the show,” she said of the professionals competing. “They are good riders here. We look forward to seeing each other. The crowd is pretty amazing and the clown is top notch.”

Aantjes was very pleased to work with

Bull Riders Canada. He was very pleased with Saturday’s crowd as the bleachers were packed, but Sunday didn’t draw as well.

“It was a little early on a hot day,” said Aantjes, who plans to do it next year and added there are things they will do differently, including having it one day. “People I spoke with were happy with the show and the event. It was a good event.”

Aantjes added that having the event on Saturday only makes sense financially. The petting zoo was also popular. Next year they will focus on the bull riding and petting zoo, while the concession was also a success.

“We want to give family entertainment for locals and tourists,” said Aantjes.

Chances there for Pinnacles men PINNACLE MEN from p.13

On the men’s side, the Tim Horton’s Pinnacles lost to the eventual champions, the Victoria Highlanders, 2-1 in a shootout Saturday.

The Pinnacles opened the scoring on a goal by Randy Hubber, but couldn’t hold their lead in the second half as the Highlanders got the equalizer on a corner kick.

“We were unlucky to concede the way we did off of a set piece,” said Pinnacles player/coach Wyatt Seddon-Johnstone. “I thought we played very well.”

In the shootout, Brett Depner got the Pinnacles first goal, then the Highlanders beat Brady van Ryswyk on their first shot. James Taylor then scored and the Highlanders tied it again. Ryan Jerry and Hubber were denied by Elliot Mitrou, while the Highlanders scored two more for a 4-2 finish.

Seddon-Johnstone said he didn’t feel the Highlanders generated many quality scoring chances compared to what they had.

“We just either weren’t on or just weren’t lucky enough today,”

The most trusted names in the Education Industry recruit using LocalWork.ca

said Seddon-Johnston. “The older guys are a bit better because they know how to deal with that a bit better. It’s going to take them a while to get over this. We were anticipating the best for this group to get into the final to win the cup. To go out the way we did was tough.”

Pinnacles captain Jeremy Perreira said he felt they played well, though they could have been more patient in the offensive end.

“We seemed to get into that zone and have too much urgency,” said Perreira, adding that they could have fought harder and lacked defensive headers. “We kind of lost it a lot in that area. It made our midfields run a lot. That could have made the difference.

“There’s a lot of heads that are down,” continued Perreira on the mood in the dressing room. “We should have won that game considering how we played. You have to give it to their goalie, their goalie played magnificent. Especially in the penalties. We had chances to put the game away.”

During the awards ceremony the Pinnacles’ Depner received a $1,200 bursary from the PCSL.

McLean heads class of 2014 B.C. HHoF Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Former Vancouver Canucks goalie Kirk McLean is best known for his big pad stacking save against the Calgary Flames in the 1994 Stanley Cup playoffs.

“You don’t think about it at the time. It’s a reaction save,” said McLean, who does work as a Canucks ambassador and was inducted into the B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame in Penticton Friday with retired NHLer Pat Price, Bill Ennos and the Kelowna Rockets 2004 Memorial

Cup winning team. “The two-pad slide, it’s a desperation move obviously.

It worked. It’s grown a life of its own. I see video of it now and it sends chills down your spine. Still.”

McLean, who played 15 seasons in the NHL, including 11 with the Canucks, said it was a surprise and an honour to be selected for induction.

“I’m extremely excited to be here,” said McLean, during a ceremony at Red Rooster Winery on Thursday.

Spots open in Bishop tourney Western News Staff

Spots are still available for slo-pitch teams to enter the 11th annual Sheila Bishop Memorial Wooden Bat tournament. Co-organizer Paul Borba said teams can get in on the fun of the 12-team tournament by calling him at 250-809-7601.

“It’s one of the last remaining wooden bat tournaments in B.C.,” said Borba. “It’s how the game used to be played before composite bats. There is more defence, nostalgia and old-time style baseball and it comes back to the fun roots.”

Borba said in the 10 years the tournament has been at Lion’s Park, only three home runs have been hit.

“Nothing goes out of Lion’s Park,” he said.

Along with games, the tournament offers a home run contest and silent auction table. The tournament is low key and fun for everyone, while raising money for charity in Bishop’s honour. This year, tournament funds are dedicated to 16-month old Aeson Moen, who has neuroblastoma, a cancer, which, according to the Mayo Clinic website, commonly affects children five or younger as it develops from immature nerve cells. With the tournament focused on helping local families, Borba said he thought helping the Moens was a great cause.

Over the last 10 years, the tournament has donated $35,000 to charity. The tournament also receives great support from umpires donating their time. Borba also thanked Peach Festival organizers for including the tournament in its festivities the last four years and for its support.

Registration can be completed at www. muddsweatandtears.com.

Kirk McLean

Vancouver was the time of his life as he had successful years there, including 1994, when they advanced to the final.

He also enjoyed his time with the Rangers, where he played for two

Bill Ennos

years before retiring in 2002.

“It was just amazing to live in a city like that,” said McLean. “They have great ownership there. It was just a wonderful experience.”

Ennos has been part of

amateur hockey development in British Columbia for many years. He joined B.C. Amateur Hockey Association (now B.C. Hockey) as program coordinator in 1980. Later in 1989, he succeeded Bob Nicholson as development co-ordinator. He is presently associate directorprograms.

“It really is a special moment,” said Ennos, who played junior hockey for his hometown Weyburn Red Wings and the Vancouver Nats.

Ennos, who also

played hockey with the UBC Thunderbirds, said a highlight of his career includes being in charge of programming for B.C. Hockey for 30-plus years.

He was a leader in developing the B.C. Junior Olympic Program and its transition into the Best Ever Program of Excellence. He has received many awards including the B.C. Hockey Life Member’s Award for his outstanding contribution to the development and growth of amateur hockey.

Price, a standout de-

fenceman with the Saskatoon Blades, was drafted 11th overall by the New York Islanders in 1975.

Instead of joining the Islanders, he chose to sign with the World Hockey Association’s Vancouver Blazers for $1.3 million.

He eventually joined the Islanders and also played for the Edmonton Oilers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Quebec Nordiques, New York Rangers and Minnesota, dressing in 726 games.

Summerdine hits the Okanagan Western News Staff

It claims to be Canada’s largest concurrent dinner party and on Aug. 6 over 40 restaurants will participate in the Okanagan.

Summerdine joins the experience of dining at a local restaurant at the same time as others participating with over 40 restaurants across British Columbia for charity. Organized by the B.C. Chapter of Les Dames d’Escoffier, an international organization of woman who raise scholarship funds for other woman to enter educational programs into the food, wine and hospitality industry.

“Here in the Okanagan we have some former Les Dames scholarship recipients including sending the amazing Chef Jenna Pillon at Terrafina Restaurant and Raudz/micro Chef Evelynn Takoff, a former Top Chef Canada participant, to culinary school,” said Jennifer Schell, a member of Les Dames.

Each of the restaurants have donated a table for the evening of Wednesday, Aug. 6.

On the same night, at the same time, over 40 restaurants from Vancouver to Victoria and the Okanagan will donate a single table in their garden, courtyard, vineyard, urban patio or kitchen table with a multi-course

set menu created to inspire the bounty of summer gardens, paired with wine for only $79 with all proceeds to Les Dames d’Escoffier. Thanks to local wine donations that include offerings from Bella Wines, The

View Winery, Spierhead Winery, Black Cloud Pinot Noir, Tantalus Vineyards and Summerhill Pyramid Winery.

Schell said this year is the largest restaurant participation in this event ever in the Okana-

gan with tables being set across the valley. In Kelowna, RaudZ Regional Table & Spierhead Winery have come together to create a picnic in the vineyard for four guests while in Summerland at Local Lounge and Grille a table for eight on their gorgeous private lounge patio overlooking the lake.

Poppadoms in Kelowna has designed a wonderful menu to enjoy in a private nook on their patio and Naramata Heritage Inn has created a stunning experience for guests to dine al fresco amongst the lavender at Forest Green Man Lavender Farm.

Also in Kelowna superstar chef and sommelier Mark Filatow of Waterfront Wines Urban Eats + Drink offers up a kitchen table for four – a unique experience to watch the chef and his team orchestrate your beautiful meal. In Oliver, guests at Terrafina Restaurant will be swept away with the magic of dining in the vineyard on a warm desert night.

To book a table and help other women achieve their dreams and hopefully come back to join our thriving Okanagan food and wine industry.

SUPPORT FOR KAYLEE

KAYLEE is a vibrant, caring, beautiful and all around incredible 16 year old girl who needs our help. This past week and a half has been a whirlwind for Kaylee and her family.

On July 9, 2014 Kaylee was rushed to Penticton Regional Hospital. What began as a sore back, progressed into intense pain and the loss of feeling in both her legs.

She received a CT scan and it was decided that she would be airlifted to Vancouver Children’s Hospital. Within hours of arrival in Vancouver Kaylee had received an MRI and was being taken into surgery to relieve the pressure on her spinal cord. Most of the tumor was removed for testing, however parts remain and are spidered through her spine.

A PET scan was performed to check other areas of Kaylee’s body and unfortunately showed spots on her lungs. It was decided by doctor’s to start treatment immediately.

We do not currently know what will be required in terms of treatment going forward as her situation is being looked at on a day to day basis. We can tell you that Kaylee is regaining mobility everyday.

Kaylee has a hard fight ahead of her and she will need all of the support that she can get.

We want to ensure that her parents Tammy Kozari and Scott Bowland are able to focus on their daughter during this time.

We do not know what her needs will be as they may change based on her diagnosis, medication, diet requirements etc. We hope to share updates as they become available and appreciate you taking the time to read Kaylee’s story. We are thankful for all of the support that has been shown.

If you would like to help Kaylee, you can join in her online fundraiser at the link below.

Bracelets designed by Kaylee are on order and will be available soon for a minimum $5 donation. We are grateful to the many other’s who have put together fundraiser’s on Kaylee’s behalf. Additionally a large event is being planned for September to bring together the community in support of Kaylee and her family. If you would like to send money directly to an account for Kaylee please take it to any Valley First Credit Union branch throughout the Okanagan. For more information on any of the above, please contact loveforkaylee@gmail.com.

Roberta Jean Miles (nee Borton) Of Summerland, BC, passed away peacefully on July 20, 2014 at Prairie Valley Lodge, Summerland at the age of 97.

Survived by her loving family: Daughters: Valerie (David) King of Wimborne, Dorset, England, Gillian (Fred) Lindsay of Summerland, Judith (Dale) Stevenson of Okanagan Falls, Grandchildren: Shannon (Dean) Stevenson of Whiterock; Matthew Stevenson of Ladner; Andrew (Claire Walker) Lindsay of Montreal; Joanne (David) Johnson of Bentonville, Arkansas, and Great Grandchildren: Jessica and Daniel Johnson and Isaac Lindsay. Predeceased by her husband, Ted (2009). Jean was born in Victoria, BC in December 1916 but from a very early age was raised in Poole, Dorset, England by her beloved grandfather Robert Foster and his wife Elizabeth.

During her time in England (1921 – 1951) Jean met Ted Miles and they were married on Christmas Day in 1939. In 1951 along with their three daughters, (Valerie, Gillian and Judith) Jean and Ted emigrated to Summerland BC where Jean’s mother Margery Snow was living. Jean worked for the Income Tax Office in Penticton until retirement. She was an avid reader, a marvellous creator of knitted, sewn or embroidered crafts.

Jean got great pleasure spending her time with the ladies of the St. Stephens Anglican Church Alter Guild creating many projects to enhance the Church and helping with Church events. She was an active member of the Ladies Auxiliary to the Royal Canadian Legion. As a loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother, she will be greatly missed. Funeral service will be held on July 31, 2014 at 2:00pm at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, 9311 Prairie Valley Road, Summerland with Reverend Rick Paulin officiating and Reverend John Briscall assisting. Interment will follow in the St. Stephen’s Garden of Remembrance. A tea will follow in Church Hall.

Memorial Tributes: Donations in memory of Jean can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or Hope for Wildlife Society, 5909 Highway 207, Seaforth, NS B0J 1N0.

Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com 250-494-7752.
