Teachers back on picket lines Joe Fries

Members and non-Members welcome

Despite picket lines going up again at local schools this week, administrators are confident they’ll be ready for students whenever the teachers’ dispute is settled.

“We’re about as ready as we could be,” Okanagan Skaha School District superintendent Wendy Hyer said at a special board meeting Monday.

“It might not be totally pretty, but everybody will come and we’ll do the best we can to make sure we get started when the kids get (back). I think everybody’s anxious to get back to work.”

Hyer noted that work that was to be performed this week by support staff from the Canadian Union of Public Employees was scuttled because they won’t cross picket lines set up by teachers, meaning some maintenance projects and registration of new students won’t take place.

The president of the Okanagan Skaha Teachers’ Union said the pickets are meant to bring the dispute back into public view with less than a week to go before the planned Sept.

2 start of the new school year.

“We just need to make the public aware that things aren’t settled yet,” said Leslea Woodward. “And we want a deal

and we want the public to be aware that we are still locked out since June 27.”

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation is looking to a mediator to help reach a deal, but the B.C. government has said it won’t

begin those talks until educators scale back their demands.

Woodward noted teachers, who have been without a contract since June 2013, have already made “significant moves” and are “ready to sit

town with (government negotiators) at any time.”

She added that teachers are not picketing school-based daycares and parents should not be dissuaded from using those facilities.

Man dies in utility terrain vehicle incident Western News Staff

Witnesses are still being sought as police attempt to piece together what led to a 32-year-old Penticton man’s death Saturday on a bush road east of the city.

Mounties were called to the 18-kilometre mark of the 201 Forestry Road around 11:40 p.m. and found the man suffering from serious injuries. He was rushed to hospital, but later died.

RCMP spokesman Const. Kris Clark said it’s believed the victim was thrown from a utility terrain vehicle — something like an off-road golf cart — that crashed while he was riding in it.

“The vehicle wasn’t on the scene at the time. There are still some things that need to be covered off to confirm what happened,” Clark noted.

Police continue to investigate and are looking for both the UTV suspected to have been involved and for witnesses to come forward. Anyone with information is

asked to call the Penticton RCMP at 250492-3300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS. The victim has been identified by friends on social media as Kyle Hardisty.

Mounties crash party

Police allegedly seized a sawed-off shotgun and drugs, plus arrested three people after responding to a noise complaint Saturday at a Penticton motel.

Officers were called at 11:24 p.m. to break up a noisy party at the Highland Motel on Burnaby Avenue, where the gun and drugs, including a large amount of ecstasy, were spotted inside one of the rooms, Mounties said in a press release.

A subsequent search of the room allegedly turned up prescription drugs, cash, a stolen bicycle, other weapons and drug trafficking equipment.

Darcy Emil Lenko, 50, has been charged with five offences, including possession

of a prohibited weapon and possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking. His first court appearance was scheduled for Tuesday.

A 35-year-old man who was also arrested at the motel was released without charges, while a 33-year-old woman was arrested and held on an unrelated warrant.

RCMP still looking for leads in hit and run death

The family of Scott Michaud, who was killed on Aug. 12 in Penticton in what RCMP believe was a hit and run near Skaha Lake Park, have set up a fund to support his three children.

Michaud was the son of Princeton’s Ray and Suzie Michaud, owners of All Purpose Roofing. Donations are being accepted at www.forscott.myevent.com or at any CIBC into account #7 647433, transit #00460.

RCMP are still investigating the death and ask witness to contact them.

At The Front Door

An explosion that rattled an Oliver neighbourhood last summer was intended to scare a man who “felt up” the bomb-maker’s brother’s girlfriend, a B.C. Supreme Court judge heard Monday in Penticton.

Eric Olivier Daoust, 24, was scheduled to begin a four-day trial, but instead pleaded guilty to the lesser offence of mischief and handed a 30-day jail term, which he served last fall while awaiting a bail hearing, and two years’ probation.

His 20-year-old brother and co-accused, Stephan Wesley Daoust, pleaded guilty in December 2013 to the more serious charge of placing an explosive. He was sentenced to 60 days in jail for placing the bomb that sent shrapnel through a wall of a nearby garage and damaged the car under which the bomb was exploded around 2 a.m. on Aug. 12, 2013.

Court heard Monday that Eric used his welding skills to build the pipe bomb and then drove his younger brother to the home on Earle Crescent where Stephan placed the device under a 1991 Toyota Camry used by Jesse Wilson.

Crown counsellor Mallory Treddenick said the younger Daoust told police he had “conflicts” with Wilson and “was very angry with Jesse Wilson because he had felt up his girlfriend at one point.”

Stephan then enlisted his older brother’s help to “scare” Wilson with the bomb, Treddenick explained.

Defence counsel Don Campbell noted both brothers are small in stature — about 130 pounds — and “reacted in a terribly immature manner to being bullied.”

“When this investigation began, there were a number of people that had situations of animus involving the complainant,” Campbell continued, noting he was trying to provide context but not “minimize the significant breach of judgement” his client displayed.

Justice Catherine Bruce went along with the plea deal, but ordered the elder Daoust receive psychological counselling while on probation.

“Anyone who helps his brother build a bomb and place it under someone’s car needs assistance,” said Bruce.

Businessmen up to the Challenge New Challenge Penticton owners have strong reputation in the business of triathlon Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Challenge Penticton is going through a relaunch.

That is how Kevin Cutjar sees it as the City of Penticton transitions ownership of a new five-year licence to he and business partner Michael Brown, owner of the Great White North triathlon in Stony Plain, Alta. Cutjar said he doesn’t want to take anything away from the volunteers who worked it the first two years, adding it was a big undertaking.

“It’s a clean slate for us as far as we’re concerned,” said Cutjar. “We want to maintain the integrity of the basis of overall layout of this race course. Make everything else brand new.”

The City of Penticton officially handed over its Challenge Penticton license to Cutjar and Brown for $300,000, which will be paid over five years. That money, along with the $125,000 received from the provincial government, will go towards paying the debt accumulated from the first two years. Year 1 debt was $377,032, while the debt from this year’s event won’t be known until near Christmas, said Mayor Garry Litke, at an informal press conference Tuesday morning.

Litke is confident that Brown’s and Cutjar’s experience and reputation can help the race grow. Cutjar has two top-10 finishes in

the pro male division in 11 Subaru Ironman Canada races and has coached several athletes, including the back-to-back Challenge winner Jeff Symonds.

“It’s going to provide a huge economic spinoff with the city of Penticton and the South Okanagan,” said Litke. “It’s going to be an even better race than what we saw on Sunday, which was already pretty awesome.

It was a great race, so well run.”

Public consultation is required for Local government support as per Liquor Control Licencing Branch regulations. Any public comments as a result of the public notice

process will be complied and forwarded to Council, along with final comments from the City’s Liquor Licence Technical Review Committee (LLTRC) for the Tuesday, September 2, 2014 Regular Council meeting.

A copy of the proposed amendment may be inspected at the offices of the Building and Permitting Manager, located on the 1st

Cutjar has a vision for Challenge Penticton. He would like to see a week of endurance events for athletes before the race and a festival to create a new vibe with entertainment, possibly an athlete’s village and tweaking the course and finish line area.

“Have a more party atmosphere to bring more of the community to the event,” said Cutjar, adding he likes the idea of having a bouncy castle and climbing walls similar to

floor at 171 Main Street between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday, excluding holidays, up to and including Tuesday, September 2, 2014.

Cutjar would also like to get sponsors to help with prize money to attract top athletes. He talked about using his connections, triathletes he competed against who are now coaches in the sport to lure pro athletes to Penticton. He said coaches like that have influence on 20 to 30 people.

Brown, who resides near Edmonton, loves Penticton and competed in Challenge Penticton last year. He believed in the race before the opportunity for them to purchase the license came up.

“I’m really optimistic,” said Brown, who is self-employed. “People always say to us, ‘How are you going to get it back to where Ironman was?’ That’s not our ceiling. That’s not how we look at this. We want to go past that. We want to make this the Challenge Roth of North America. We want to make it a North American championship. We want this to be the race that everyone can’t get into and wants to come do.”

Brown added he knows it is not going to be easy, but added they need everyone in the community believing in it.

“Whether I’m from Edmonton or I’m from Mars, we are all in this together,” he said. “I think we can change it.”

“I want to get people thinking Penticton again,” said Cutjar, adding that he wants to sell the community as a great place to train.

“Over time this race will come back.”

Society not ready to give up fight Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

The South Okanagan Performing Arts Society isn’t planning to give up their fight to have a restrictive covenant placed on two downtown Penticton properties.

At their last meeting, on Aug. 19, city council voted four to two against restricting the use of two empty properties at the corner of Ellis and Nanaimo Streets, which have long been earmarked for a performing arts centre.

“I am extremely disappointed that a majority of council failed to understand the request made by SOPAC at Monday night’s council meeting,” said SOPAC chair Jake Kimberley. “It was disappointing that some members of council insisted on having a business plan presented by SOPAC before they could vote in favour.”

A business plan has no bearing on that decision, according to Kimberley.

“I gather from their comments they didn’t fully understand the legislation in a restrictive covenant.

It does not require a business plan,” said Kimberley.

“We are just saying that if you want to dispose of this land, you must call a public meeting.”

The SOPAC board of directors is asking council to rescind its decision, which Kimberley, a former Penticton mayor, said is permissible under provincial legislation. Either the mayor or two-thirds of council could decide to bring the issue back for another vote.

A restrictive covenant, explained Kimberley, would ensure that this council or any future one would have to hold a public meeting before selling or otherwise disposing of the lots.

Normally, any land use changes would require notifying the neighbouring area, but a restrictive covenant would require that the entire city be notified of the public hearing. According to Kimberley, their aim is to ensure the whole community has an opportunity to have a say in the future of the properties.

“Not to say that council would accept their opinion or their direction, but at least they would have the opportunity,” said Kimberley.

Jake Kimberley, chair of the South Okanagan Performing Arts Society, says the group is going to appeal council’s decision not to put a covenant on land slated for the theatre project.

Steve Kidd/Western News

Council was also concerned about how long the restrictive covenant would be in place, since little has happened since the SOPAC business plan was created in 2008. Kimberley, who suspects the current administration may have plans for the properties, said he couldn’t give a timeline for when the project might get off the ground.

“Until times change. Until the influence of council changes. The vision is there, it is contained in the community plan, and if there is a council that comes along that has the initiative to make it happen, then it will happen,” said Kimberley. “The economy has really affected what happened here.”

Boy testifies about alleged sex abuse Warning: story contains some explicit content Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Two years after their relationship ended, a 12-year-old boy testified in graphic detail this week about the sexual abuse he allegedly suffered at the hands of an Oliver man.

Tyrone Johnathan Borba, 23, is being tried in B.C. Supreme Court in Penticton on single counts of sexual interference, invitation to sexual touching and sexual assault in relation to the offences alleged to have occurred from June 2011 to August 2012.

Through his first two days of testimony, the boy, whose identity is protected by a routine publica-

tion ban, described how he first met Borba and how their relationship progressed to one in which they regularly had sleepovers and travelled out of town together.

“He was a friend of ours and it just went on from there,” said the boy, who spoke confidently as he testified via closed-circuit TV from a separate room in the Penticton courthouse.

The boy told the court he woke up following their first sleepover, during which they shared Borba’s bed, and found one of the man’s hands on his genitals.

“I tried slowly pulling his hand out of my pants so I wouldn’t wake him ... but (Borba) always seemed to wake up and instantly put (his hand) back down there,” the boy recalled.

The boy went on to explain in

ic

n Orga

detail how he was instructed numerous times to masturbate Borba and have anal intercourse with the man. Court also heard how Borba showered the boy with gifts, including a snowboard and iPod, and threatened to take them away if the boy told anyone about the sex acts.

Cross-examination of the boy by defence counsel Michael Welsh was expected to begin Tuesday afternoon. Crown counsellor Catherine Crocket said she’ll call just three witnesses — the boy and his parents — and the case will ultimately hinge on the alleged victim’s credibility.

Dressed in a black suit, Borba, who is free on bail, drank water and took notes as he watched the boy’s testimony from the prisoner’s dock.

EDITORIAL

opinion

Penticton, you have met the Challenge Not everyone swam, biked or ran on Sunday, but as the Challenge Penticton motto goes, We are triathlon — and all of us were at least for one weekend.

As with most events, they better with age.

In its second year, the Valley First Challenge Penticton Canada is proof. The 2014 event had a great atmosphere with all reaches of the community getting involved, tri-geek or not. The ability to incorporate the community behind the event over a four-day festival is what will win people over. The buzz leading up to the race and atmosphere down at Gyro Park, especially as it got closer to midnight on Sunday, was much more noticeable this year.

In a time where professional athletes make headlines for getting their hands slapped for unbecoming behaviour just as often as they do for their sporting abilities, Jeff Symonds and local female pro Jen Annett are breaths of fresh air. The pair of athletes couldn’t speak these past few days without saying something positive about Penticton or their rock-star reception. Symonds shrugged off his popularity when asked about it at the finish line. Instead, he proposed that he would insure every person on the course (professional or not) gets that same treatment.

It is also the volunteers that were eager to accommodate, some standing longer than athletes who ran the race, that make this race possible. It is with their support, and those who come out to offer a few kind words and cheers, that this course continues to be touted as one of the best. There is nothing more satisfying than knowing your encouragement offered to PENTICTON WESTERN a complete stranger is helping them down the road a few more metres towards their goal.

Ruts in road to farmland changes The month-long Agricultural Land Commission consultation closed Aug. 22, and the B.C. government is compiling the feedback received from a province-wide tour and invitation to comment.

I can’t tell you much about the official input.

The consultation sessions were by invitation only, with no media allowed, and the submissions via website are also not public.

I reached Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick as he was traveling around B.C. with his camper van, conducting his own meetings with farmers. He’s not saying much either, except that a summary of the findings should be made public in September as the government considers new regulations.

The aim of this exercise is to consider relaxing rules around secondary farmland uses in the Interior, Kootenay and North regions, as well as food processing and

retail sales of food and beverages on farmland.

Also under consideration is allowing breweries and distilleries, as wine and cider production are now allowed, and relaxing rules to permit more off-farm products to be sold from farms.

Letnick defended the 30-day summer consultation as adequate. It’s based on 11 questions developed with staff, farm groups and local government. He’s also not counting how many emails were stacked up by proponents or critics.

“I’m not conducting a plebiscite,” Letnick said. “What I’m trying to do is come up with the best balance of recommendations to make to government that can hold their own based on the idea and the potential positive and negative consequences.”

NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham was more forthcoming. She was invited to the formal sessions, and also

Tom Fletcher

B.C. Views won’t talk about them directly. But she’s not backing away from her criticisms.

The government is proposing to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for several kinds of decisions, including subdivision for family use or into properties of 160 acres or more.

“I think the general idea was that people trust the ALC to make that decision, and it should still go through the commission,” Popham said. “Actually the commission has been making those de-

cisions anyway, and I think they’ve been quite fair when somebody applies.”

She said farmers also aren’t sold on the notion of easing the rules for secondary businesses.

“You will already find situations where there’s, let’s say a welding shop or something like that attached to somebody’s residence who lives on ALR land,” Popham said.

“That sort of stuff has been allowed, but it’s always had to go through the ALC or some sort of process that’s been in place. This leaves that process out, and so I think that’s the problem people are having.”

She noted that nonfarm activities have a way of growing until they become the main business.

A reader who attended the Kelowna session said even winery operators aren’t thrilled about the proposal to enlarge retail space and allow sales of wine or beer not

made on site. He said “not one” participant there liked the idea of increasing industrial activity such as food processing or retailing. And he agreed with Popham that the ALC is doing a good job with subdivision applications.

Popham also clarified the situation with the leased craft gin distillery on her own Vancouver Island farm. It started as a winery, and the conversion needed only local government approval because the production facility was already considered and taxed as light industrial.

Victoria Gin has been a model for the government’s push to allow distilleries, breweries or meaderies on farmland.

Given the B.C. Liberals’ love of liberalized liquor, I expect that change to go through.

Stop signs make no difference One can only wonder if the Stop Project at Dartmouth was designed as an effective deterrent for those who hardly ever come to a complete stop and roll through that corner because there is no car coming in any direction or is it a make-work project?

The sidewalks are a nice touch. They definitely make the corners safer as cars supposedly have to stop and if they don’t, it is more difficult to cruise through and skirt the corner. Says who?

Current council has come up with some projects such as bike lanes that they can justify in their own way. Maybe they can sleep better at night feeling that the Stop Project is a concern for safety at a busy intersection and they have addressed and filled a safety issue.

This project will make little difference during the day and no difference after hours or on holidays. How can I make this state-

Propaganda job

After reading a letter published on Wednesday’s (Aug. 13) edition, I was uncertain to which religious zealots Mr. Thomsen was referring.

The hint is Islamic, however, does he not realize that Christians, as well as other religions, can be rather zealous?

Also, if Mr. Thomson is referring to scans or body searches at the border, then I’m afraid I would have to disagree with him again. Every time you allow your privacy to be invaded on the premise (and I stress premise) of terrorism, then you are just letting the government into your home with your permission, and allowing your rights to be compromised.

I have no great regard for Mr. Harper and I don’t really care if this is a vote tactic as Mr. Thomsen suggests. People should be voting based on all information regarding a political platform. As for our border security, yes, they have an important job. They are not the army.

To assume someone is a security threat based on their religion or how they look just implies a propaganda job well done. As for me, well, I welcome all religions into our country. Perhaps these “zealots” may want to avoid Summerland though, where Mr. Thomsen resides.

ment you might ask?

I make this statement based on observation from the dog park. In 30 minutes, I witnessed 26 vehicles at the intersection in question. Of the 26 vehicles, nine went straight past the sign slowing down, let alone stopping and continued traveling west on Warren Avenue. Eight others made California rolling stops (not complete stops) and proceeded to turn either north or south on Dartmouth.

I was amazed that nine vehicles actually obeyed the signs and stopped before proceeding. Does this mean that the signs are 36.25 per cent effective in addressing safety problems at that four-way intersection? Hmm. It might be too early to rate the efficacy of this Stop Project as it was just recently completed. However, based on what I witnessed along with several others at the dog

Swept up in change

Open letter to Penticton city counsel and in particular Katie Robinson. On Aug. 18 I attended the rally in front of Penticton City Hall with the group called TimeforChangePenticton.

I was glad to see members of this group attend the rally, however, the attendance was less than expected as there are approximately 2,700 that have joined the Facebook site. I am supporting this group because they are trying to promote the community members from all demographics to get out and exercise their right to vote.

Many people do not exercise their right to vote and may have opinions or ideas that could improve and build a stronger community.

I wore the T-Shirts that said Head banging druggie #TimeForChange. The first part of this comment referenced Katie Robinson’s statement on Boonstock. I know I have hurt Katie by wearing that T-shirt, and for that I am sorry. She realized she made a mistake when she said it and wished she could have taken it back. We have to learn from our mistakes (as everyone makes them, even me as you can see) and improve ourselves to move beyond them.

I understand Boonstock is not for everyone, including myself. That does not mean that I would not support similar events in the future. As long as event organizers follow

park, it looks like a taxpayer dollar boondoggle again.

I realize that the project is new. However, I also realize that old habits die hard. Irrespective of the new signage, those people who disregarded the lines and stop signs at this intersection prior to the signage installation, will in all probability, continue to exhibit the driving habits that they have established.

True, maybe there will be more vigilance shown through the day. However, the attitude of there’s no car coming therefore I can keep on going will, in all likelihood, prevail after hours and on holidays. In the final analysis, as taxpayers, should we be asking as to whether or not the end justifies the means on this project? If not, November is just around the corner!

the regulations and guidelines that are in place to promote the community and public safety, then events such as races and festivals like Boonstock, is what makes Penticton a thriving community.

I understand many citizens of Penticton had mixed feeling about Boonstock and its possible effect it might have had on our community. There is both positive and negative feedback to support this, but to only focus on one individual’s opinion from a collective of opinions, does not strengthen the community, but may push community members away. This is why I support groups that encourage members of the community to vote and to become involved in making Penticton a better place. I feel that I could have come out and supported the TimeForChangePenticton group but I did not have to wear the shirt that hurt a dear and close friend. I hope she can accept my sincerest apology.

Bibb blessed with musical destiny it is for the United States of America to really examine its history and its own mindset as a collective. “I’m finding it intensively disturbing what has not happened in terms of progress in the last 40 years.”

Bibb pointed out how racial prejudice has expressed itself, either with brutal acts against African-American people or a general lack of awareness of American history.

He wants to see more frank discussion around some of the historical facts and how that impacts people’s contemporary viewpoints.

He’s written songs focusing on reminding people there’s work to be done.

“The dream that Martin Luther King spoke of in, “I have a dream,” isn’t being realized and won’t be realized until collectively there’s a willingness to look at where we’ve come from,” said Bibb.

Bibb is wrapping up his newest album Blues People, which features selections about some of his views on unfulfilled goals relating to some of the social concerns he’s witnessed.

As he looks ahead in his musical career, which to this point, has endured four decades, he’s equally as energized when he contemplates the next 40 years.

“There was so much to get excited about and to develop and to investigate and that journey began back then and it continues with as much verve and gusto as ever,” said Bibb.

Tickets are $34 and are available by calling 250-4909012. Showtime is 8 p.m.

From the time musician Eric Bibb was just a youngster, it became apparent a musical career would become his destiny.

“I would agree,” said Bibb in a phone interview from Sweden, where he lives. “I think I was on a mission from early on and I chose according to that mission. I do feel very fortunate, blessed to have been in the middle of such an amazingly creative location and time when I was growing up, because it had a far-reaching influence on me.”

On Aug. 29 and 30, Bibb returns to The Dream Cafe, where he’s bringing his folk and gospel-infused acoustic blues and country sounds.

When one learns of Bibb’s childhood, it’s easy to understand why, even though he was a youngster, music became a lens through which he would express himself as well as n art form which would shape his world views.

Bibb’s father, Leon, was a musical theatre singer, who made a name for himself as part of the 1960s New York folk scene; his uncle was jazz pianist and composer John Lewis, of the Modern Jazz Quartet. Family friends included Pete Seeger, and actor/singer/activist Paul Robeson, Bibb’s godfather.

At age seven, Bibb was given his first steel-string acoustic guitar, and growing up, he was surrounded by talent. He recalled a childhood conversation with Bob Dylan, who, on the subject of guitar playing, advised the 11-year-old to, “Keep it simple, forget all that fancy stuff.”

Bibb’s first professional gig came at the end of the 1960s when he was 16. He became one of the studio musicians for his dad’s TV show, a talent program called Someone New based in New York City.

ERIC BIBB brings his folk and gospel-infused acoustic blues stylings to Penticton when he visits the Dream Cafe on Aug. 29.

“I remember a nine-yearold Yo-Yo Ma coming on that show,” he said.

Although he recalls feeling well removed from his comfort zone on the show, he learned by doing and from listening and talking to the other musicians.

“What it did was give me a real sense of what is possible when you apply yourself,” said Bibb. “They just encouraged me and gave me a taste for what it’s like to be in the limelight. I seemed to enjoy it enough to pursue it.”

At age 18, he left the United States and assumed a troubadour-like existence, busking and living in parts of Europe. He’s remained in

Sweden for most of his adult life and has also taken up residence in England, Finland and France.

He’s gone on to play shows throughout Europe, Australia, Africa, Japan, Thailand and Canada.

Through his travels he’s played to small and large audiences at intimate shows and at grand festivals, and has been exposed to a variety of musical cultures.

He’s also experienced racism and prejudice attitudes.

“When I first came to Scandinavia in the 1970s, what I experienced most was a population that was curious about me, because there were not many people who looked

like me, where I settled, which was in Stockholm,” he said.

As immigration to Scandinavia from all parts of the world intensified while Bibb was there, he noticed a backlash from the racial changes that were occurring.

“People aren’t prepared

for so much change,” he said. “Ideas that are below the surface come to the forefront — racial ideas — but I can tell you this, mostly what I’ve been focusing on in my travels and my living abroad, when it comes to the question of culture and racism, is essentially how imperative

Festival’s spirit keeps Rigney returning Scott Trudeau

Penticton Western News

As jazz musician Tom Rigney & Flambeau embark on a twoweek European tour aboard a cruise ship before their appearances at this year’s Pentastic Hot Jazz Festival Sept. 5 to 7, Rigney talked about why he keeps returning.

“The setting of course is lovely,” he said. “It’s a great place to go spend a weekend.

We work a lot of different kinds of gigs but the lineup of music is always completely first rate so we get to see a lot of our friends and hang out with certainly some of the best jazz musicians on the planet.

“I’ve always kind of just liked the spirit of the Penticton festival,” he said. “There’s lots of dancers, just very enthusiastic fans,” he said.

“It’s one of those weekends where we go home and say, ‘That was fun.

That was good. Let’s do that again.’”

Other performers include: The Terrier Brothers, Gator Nation, Draga’s Dragons, The

Original Wildcat Jass Band, Lance Buller, Black Swan Classic Jazz Band, Blackstick, Grand Dominion Jazz Band, Curbside Trad Jazz Band and the Penticton-based group, Faculty.

“That’s actually not an uncommon thing but that’s actually something that we like,” said Rigney. “You’re going from sort of a small, nightclubish sort of venue, to a big hall, so it allows me the freedom as a bandleader and as an artist in general just to play a very wide range of the music that we play and I can tailor it to the venue and somewhat to the specific audience that’s there.”

The group specializes in Cajun and Zydeco two-steps, blues, New Orleans grooves, and ballads and waltzes with Rigney composing a majority of their songs.

Rigney was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay area and currently resides in San Francisco.

His interest in southern-style Louisiana music was sparked when he

played with accordionist Queen Ida, said to be the first female accordion player to lead a Zydeco band.

“That was back in the 80s and I toured with Ida for a year,” he said.

“I had known her on the circuit, we were friends but really until I got up on the stage with her, I had no idea how much fun it would be playing south Louisiana, Zydeco dance music.”

His music is rooted in bluegrass and western swing and traditional country before drifting into blues-inspired rock and roll.

“I play a very wide range of American roots music styles with certainly cajun and zydeco being significant ingredients but only part of the picture,” said Rigney. “There’s nothing in my background, except for my musical experience, to have lead me there.”

The common characteristic around his music is its alluring groove and intensity which many people find irresistible.

His band members include Caroline Dahl

on piano, Brent Rampone on drums and bassist Steve Parks, along with guitarist Doug Dayson, who is playing in place of regular guitarist Danny Caron.

Dayson also toured with Queen Ida’s band.

Rigney talked about how his band’s sound, and how it carries a rhythmn that gets people moving.

“Whether or not we’re playing for a dance audience or a concert audience, the music is just ferociously danceable,” said Rigney.

“I can watch people in a concert hall, barely able to contain themselves in their feet . . . they notice the power in the grooves that we play.”

Performances will happen at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre, SS Sicamous, the Elks Club and the Shatford Centre.

Tickets are $55 for Friday, $70 for Saturday and $50 for Sunday. An all-event pass is $105.

Tickets can be purchased through www. valleyfirsttix.com, the Best Western Inn and at the door.

Chair says new direction threatens historic Grist Mill Steve Kidd Western News

The Grist Mill Foundation is concerned that a new direction from the province threatens the future of the Keremeos Grist Mill as one of the area’s leading tourist attractions.

Last week, the province announced that it was looking for proposals from groups or individuals that would be able to make use of the 137-year-old site, home to the only working waterdriven mill west of Winnipeg, without relying on public funds.

The site is currently contracted out to a private individual, Chris Mathieson, who operates the mill as a provincial heritage site.

Dave Cursons, chair of the foundation, said that is the way they would like to see it continue. He sees the latest request for proposals as the B.C. Heritage branch attempting to divest itself of responsibility for the mill.

“The land and the artifacts that are there would come under a lease to a private entrepreneur, who would — on their own, without government funding — seek to make that provincial historic site operated the way a private entrepreneur might operate a museum,” said Cursons. “I don’t know of very many private entrepreneurs who operate museums for profit. Museums and such things as provincial historic sites aren’t

usually considered money-making propositions.”

Cursons is concerned that a private operator might not keep to the heritage flavour of the site, which also boasts Victorian gardens, grain fields and a heritage orchard. Those might be replaced, he worries, by more high-profile attractions like an amusement park or waterslides.

Linda Larson, Liberal MLA for Boundary Similkameen, said it doesn’t have to be a private entrepreneur.

The Regional District of OkanaganSimilkameen could take over the mill or even a group like the foundation.

What is certain, however, is that the province plans to reduce its financial commitment over the coming years.

“They can make it totally sustainable by coming up with more ways to make money or they can do like we did in the town of Oliver: have a referendum and get the taxpayers to kick in a little money,” said Larson. “Either one of those laid out as a plan would probably get government support. And even the possibility of some ongoing support until it was up and running and doing its own thing.”

Larson suggested the best way to care for the mill may be a combination of both: a standard amount of tax dollars to keep the doors open and then paying for enhancements by developing new income sources.

A company servicing the oil and gas industry has just added itself to the list of manufacturers making their home in Penticton.

When they were looking to expand their Edmonton facilities, Jet Power and Controls Ltd. chose Penticton as the ideal spot to create a new manufacturing plant.

“We decided to go outside the box and recognized that some of the areas in the interior of B.C. had some viable real estate options we could look at,” said Vic Carreiro, corporate services manager for Jet Power. He expects the Penticton plant, located at Government Street and Dawson Avenue, will be in operation by mid-September.

“We are aggressively trying to get things organized,” said Carreiro.

Jet Power manufactures a range of power control panels and electrical houses for the oil and gas industry for clients that include PCL Energy and Ensign Energy of Houston, Texas. The new facility, Carreiro explained, is necessary because of the rapid growth of the company, which has expanded from a 1,000 square-metre facility to 3,700 square metres in the last two years.

“It’s a tremendous amount of work, especially with the type of facility we are going to be opening, but I think it is going to be worth it,” he said. “Certainly, it is going to help with the overload we have here. It is a struggle to keep up with things. We are already in the stages of which projects we are going to be moving to Penticton.”

Manufacturing may not get as much press as tourism in Penticton, but it remains one of the main economic drivers of the community, and Jet Power will be creating 15 to 20 new jobs for

skilled tradespeople.

“We are moving a few of our key personnel who have decided to move.

But, we have also looked at how many qualified tradespeople are flying back and forth from the Okanagan to Fort McMurray,” said Carreiro.

Skilled trades are in demand everywhere, so Jet Power decided to test the waters before they settled on a new location, putting out advertisements for workers.

“The response was above average at first, but then it started to escalate when it became known who we were and what was going on,” said Carreiro.

As expected, much of the interest was coming from commuters.

Besides availability of workers and a competitive industrial land base, Carreiro said Jet Power has had a great response from the Penticton community so far.

“Everyone in the area has been very accommodating. We have our own promotions and sign people here in Edmonton, but once I met Tony (Jacyna of Jafa Industries) over at the sign place across from us, he gave me the utmost confidence, so he is going to be doing our signage locally,” said Carreiro.

Likewise, he said, city staff and inspectors have been helpful in working with them to convert the building to their needs.

“The Jet Power people really want to work with local companies, they have made a point of calling me and asking for ideas around things like transportation and logistics and security and all of the other things they need,” said Colleen Pennington, the city’s economic development officer.

“There is the potential for us to get more business from them to bring more of their manufacturing here if it works out.”

Helps to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis. Guaranteed also for rheumatoid and sciatica, (My own affliction).

Truthful actual experiences from real people: < For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON <My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA<I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again.

Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON<I suffered for years. I tried everything and finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. After this experience I realized I could help many of those 5 million Canadian that suffer every day and night and I started to sell this same type of shark cartilage and helped hundreds of thousands of men and women to #1 NPN 80042283 have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle Products. <Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister…hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

Bladder & Yeast Infection

A diuretic to help relieve mild urinary tract infections.

True success stories by women: <Bladder & Yeast Infection #31 works within a day or two! My experience in the last 4 years is that whenever I feel symptoms of an infections I take two capsules for a day or two and the infection is gone. I love this product. Pat Pearce, 53, Brantford, ON < 30 years of bladder infections gone! For 30 years my doctor prescribed antibiotics. As soon as the medication finished the next bladder infection came back. After 2 days taking Bell # 31 I noticed a complete relief of my infection I had all these 30 years. God bless you all for helping all of us women. Emell Whitaker, 69, Bronx, NY< Bladder infections kept on coming back. Since starting Bell Bladder & Yeast Infection #31 my infection was gone and I now take it from time to time for prevention and I have no more bladder or yeast infections. I told family and friends how good Bell products are. Thank you! Maria Racz, 60, Vancouver, BC <Went to the bathroom 10 times in an hour and more frequently at night!. In the last 2 years I went a number of times to the doctor and got different antibiotics and none of them worked. My urination would burn enormously. I bought #31 NPN 80038535 your Bell Bladder & Yeast infection #31. I can now work all day or sleep all night without getting up to go to the bathroom. I am not afraid anymore to drink water when I am thirsty. Praise the Lord! Thank you! Harriett Priester, 60, North Charleston, SC

ACNE

Works by cleaning blood from the inside, instead of attacking skin with creams or washes from the outside and leaving actual cause untreated.

Actual Results. <After 1 week my severe acne became quite mild and after 2 weeks it had completely vanished. I suffered for 5 stressful years of having acne and extremely dry, irritated skin. Bell Help for Skin Disorders“saved my life”. My skin is now beautiful and you would never know I suffered from acne and other skin problems for years. Zach Lustgarten, 18, Oshawa, ON RED NOSE/CHEEKS ROSACEA gone in less than a week. Was fighting it for 30 years with topical creams and prescriptions without getting satisfaction. I live a healthy life, don’t smoke and don’t drink.

People thought a reddish face comes from drinking. This is a myth. Will take it for the rest of my life when needed. Donald E. Gillespie, 56, Innisfil, ON PSORIASIS<I had severe psoriasis over 95% of my body. Last 5 years I have stunned every doctor and dermatologist. I spent tons of money on remedies. After I got Bell Help for Skin Disorders, I’ve never seen anything work as fast in my life. Within 2 days I saw my skin clearing up. I’m speechless. #60 NPN 80044199 It was inexpensive compared with what I spent before. Jessica Shantz, 25, Dawson Creek, BC ECZEMA For 6 years my family doctor and dermatologist tried many medications and creams. After taking Bell Help for Skin Disorders for just a few days my eczema itching stopped and my face started to clear up. After suffering so long I am amazed with the results. Andy Yuen, 58, Vancouver, BC

Facing the best in Peru John Arendt Black Press

A Twin Lakes karate athlete will represent Canada at the 2014 Junior Pan-American Championships in Lima, Peru, later this month.

William Wright, 18, qualified to represent Canada in the international competition when he placed second at the Canadian National Championships in January.

The competition in Peru is the highest level possible for junior athletes.

Karate athletes from 37 countries are expected at the Pan-American Karate Federation Championships.

The tournament will bring more than 500 of the best athletes in the sport.

VALLEY FIRST CHALLENGE PENTICTON female pro winner Carrie Lester of Brisbane, Australia, gets a beer soaking courtesy of her boyfriend Scott DeFilippis at the finish line following her repeat victory. She completed the course in a time of nine hours, 27 minutes and 24 seconds. DeFilippis of Normandy Beach, N.J., was seventh in the men’s pro standings.

Two-time champs

Jeff Symonds and Carrie Lester defended their Valley First Challenge Penticton crowns, but said it didn’t come easy.

Symonds crossed the finish line with the hometown crowd behind in him eight hours, 26 minutes and 58 seconds, a full 20 minutes ahead of Christopher Bagg, of Portland, Oregon, who took second.

“It’s incredible,” said Symonds of his repeat. “I didn’t think that after everything I went through last year, the crash and everything, I don’t know how this is going to compare. It was a tough day out there. I had to work really hard for that one.”

Symonds, who exited the swim seven seconds behind Vancouver’s Josh Seifarth, said it always felt like the guys were on his heels.

The worst part of his day was being out front.

“I love being the hunter. I love that kind of mentality,” he said. “Knowing you are out front, you’re the hunted.”

Symonds had a seven-minute lead as he exited the bike and built on it.

“I knew with this quality field I was going to have to get ugly out there,” said Symonds, who finished three minutes faster than his victory last year. “Luckily I came away with the win.”

Following Symonds, who pocketed $12,000, and Bagg, $8,000, was Auckland, New Zealand’s Simon Cochrane ($5,000 payout) to round out the top three pros. Victoria’s Andrew Russell was fourth ($3,250), Sean Bechtel of Caledon, Ont.,, fifth ($3,000), Ver-

non’s Nathan Champness sixth ($2,500), New Jersey’s Scott DeFilippis, seventh ($1,500), Nathan Killam of Surrey, eight ($1,000), Doug MacLean of Boulder, Col., ninth ($750) and Adam O’Meara of Victoria, 10th ($500).

Lester, who finished 11th overall, clocked in at 9:27:24, just two seconds faster than last year. The Brisbane, Australia, native said she thought she was going to go faster on the bike.

“It’s such a tough course. I really did forget how hard it is,” said Lester, who also earned $12,000.

She was happy with her run, clocked at 3:13:59, just under 10 minutes faster than Penticton’s Jenn Annett, who clocked a 3:23:53 and finished third overall in the women’s pro field while experiencing a panic attack during the swim.

Panic attack doesn’t stop Annett Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Jenn Annett duplicated last year’s third-place finish in the Valley First Challenge Penticton Sunday, but improved her time by 10 minutes while experiencing a panic attack.

Annett, 29, isn’t sure what caused the attack that occurred while swimming, but added that she had not had one in years. She finished the swim in one hour, 11 minutes and 11 seconds.

“I think I just let my nerves get to me right at the beginning and jumped in a little bit too quick,” said Annett, denying that the pressure of competing on home soil got to her.

With husband Jason and son Nixon by her side, Annett crossed the finish line in 9:48:58, 21 minutes after winner Carrie Lester of Brisbane, Australia, and nearly two minutes behind Mackenzie Madison of Springfield, Oregon. Annett, who won the Peach City Classic triathlon a month ago, said it was a tough day with what she described as an “awful” swim, followed by losing

half her nutrition as she headed out on the bike.

“I figured it could only get better,” said Annett, who was the second fastest on the bike (5:10) and run (3:23:53). “I just tried

to do what I do best. Put my head down and get in the game. Just try to stick to it. The run was rough.

I wanted to walk and just curl up in the middle of the pavement.”

Annett, who was happy with her final result, said she didn’t want to lose the ground she gained. She also knew she couldn’t catch the eventual winner.

“Carrie is an amazing

athlete. She always puts on an awesome performance,” said Annett. “She is just overall strong.”

Leading up to the weekend, Annett said one of the things she

would look forward to at the end was a beer at the finish line. The top finishers were doused with it. When it was her turn, she opened her mouth to get a taste.

“It was awesome,” she said. “I never ever want to look at gels or Gatorade or Coke again. That beer was the best tasting thing in the world.”

Challenge harder for Lester from LESTER pg. 15 “I hadn’t done a lot of running with my stress fracture months ago,” said Lester. “It really did hurt a lot the last 15 kilometres. I just tried to take my time knowing that I had a little bit of time on the girls behind me. Just tried to get in the nutrition when I could and just keep going.”

Lester said it’s the first time she has returned to an event to defend her title and it feels good.

“I don’t think I found it any easier than last year at all,” she said. “Possibly harder.”

Finishing second was Mackenzie Madison. In fourth was Vancouver’s Christine Fletcher. Fifth was Bend, Oregon’s Jennifer Luebke, sixth was Trish Deim of Meridian, Idaho, seventh was Natasha van der Merwe of Austin, TX., eighth was Alyssa Godesky of Charlottesville, Virginia, ninth was Seattle’s Cathleen Knutson and 10th was Jana Candrova of Borovany, Czech Republic. Karen Thibodeau of Canmore, Alta., did not finish.

lif., native Alistair Eeckman in 4:20:33. In a press release, Eeckman said winning the half was a shock.

“It’s definitely a very challenging course, and one of the most scenic courses I’ve done,” he said in post-race interviews. “I took the lead on the bike on the first climb

by Oliver and never looked back. … It was very painful, but worth it.”

Eeckman was followed by Manson Jeffrey of Vancouver and Penticton’s Dave Matheson. The women’s side was won by Calgary’s Katie Frauts.

“It feels amazing. This is like the best place ever,” said Frauts. “I just had so much fun today. The volunteers are amazing. The athletes here are just incredible.”

Frauts said the course was perfect, especially with the weather not being overly hot or too windy. She added it was unexpected for her to win.

“It hasn’t sunk in,” said Frauts of being the first VFCP half distance female winner.

Finishing in second was Kelowna’s Cailla Patterson and Christine Cogger of Pemberton was third.

Course pushes triathletes Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Rainy conditions didn’t dampen the spirits of the 135 triathletes in the Challenge Penticton Junior Triathlon sponsored by Boston Pizza Friday morning.

The action began with the six- and seven-yearolds facing a 50-metre swim, 1.5-kilometre bike ride and a 500-m run.

Penticton’s Avery Benn was the first to cross the finish line in 13 minutes, seven seconds. The only thing on Benn’s mind was earning a medal.

“The running was hard, but I had fun,” said Benn, who smiled while completing the course.

The first female to finish was Surrey’s Mia Stevens in 13:23.

In the eight to nine age group, Penticton’s Thomas Caruso arrived at the finish line first in 19:43, while the first female was Kelowna’s Sarah Courtenay in 20:11. In the 10-11 group, Summerland’s Heming Sola finished first in 25:24, while Kelowna’s Ella Rolleston was the first female in 25:39. The 12-13 group was dominated by two Kelowna athletes as Cameron McInnes crossed first in 37:51 followed

by Jaxon Slaney, the first female in 37:59. The final Kids of Steel group, 14-

15, was completed first

by Chetwynd’s Dylan Joyce and Summerland’s Haley Berrisford.

“I was really happy,”

said Joyce. “I didn’t expect it. It’s a big event for me. I was just expecting to come and have fun.

I’m really happy with

how well I did.”

Berrisford said she had a good race and hoped to get first, but was caught by Joyce near the

three-km mark on the run.

The triathlon concluded with the draft legal event, which had 21 athletes. It was a chase race in which the female side was given a fourminute head start. Kaycee Schroeder of Dundurn, Sask., took first in 43:23, while Trail’s Jackson Konkin was second in 43:58. Brock Hoel of Peachland was second on the male side in 44:09, while Calgary’s Parker Young rounded out the top three males in sixth place at 45:12.

Second for the females was Brooks, Alta., native Emmalyn Elgersma, who finished fourth overall and third was Sophie Ogilvie of Kamloops in fifth overall.

For Schroeder, it was her debut in the chase race. When she heard that the top male was a minute behind, she found another level on her run.

“I gave it my all so they wouldn’t catch me,” she said.

Race co-ordinator Troyce Beglaw said everyone had fun and enjoyed the day.

“I think it’s been really good,” said Beglaw.

“There is lots of parents here involved in the Challenge race. The kids are here and they have something to do as part of Challenge week.”

Clan enjoys training camp retreat Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Simon Fraser University Clan women’s soccer team enjoyed a hard working retreat in Penticton last week.

The Clan held the first three days of their camp at King’s Park Aug.18-20.

Aja Choy-Halo, a senior on the Clan, used her connection with Pinnacles FC executive director and head coach Ezra Cremers to set up the camp.

“I feel it’s like my second home,” said Choy-Halo, who played for the Pinnacles under-21 team three years ago. “Definitely comforting to be back here. Makes me proud because I did a lot of work at the facility here going into my second year. It’s fun to be back here right to start my senior year.”

Choy-Halo said her time with the Pinnacles helped her stay in shape and was key in her development. While it gave her added fitness and touches on the ball, it was with the Pinnacles that Choy-Halo made her transition from defender to attacker.

“That was super useful,” she said.

Choy-Halo is excited about her final season with the Clan because the program is undergoing change with new coach Annie Hamel. Choy-Halo, a Nanaimo product, said the team is stocked

with the tools needed to be successful.

“I want to win,” she It feels like my said, adding second home. she has had enough of Definitely three years losing comforting to of steaks. be back here.

The initial part of — Aja Choy-Halo the camp impressed Choy-Halo, who endured a 1-11 season in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference in the National Collegiate Athletic Association last season.

“It was unreal. I couldn’t have asked for better,” she said, adding that the fields were great for them to train on. “Everything went smooth and the girls had a lot of fun.”

“We’re trying a lot of things and seeing what the winning recipe is for us,” said Hamel, adding that their camp ends Sept. 2 and the season beginning Sept.7. “We want to play a different brand of football and be hard working.”

Project uncovers key to wine industry’s growth Western News Staff

An Okanagan College professor may have unlocked the key to the Okanagan’s future prosperity in the wine industry.

Extensive research conducted by the Okanagan Wine Festivals Society, the British Columbia Wine Institute and Okanagan College’s School of Business has uncovered what motivates wine visitors to come to this region and the secret to ensuring they return.

Leading the research project was Blair Baldwin, Okanagan College School of Business Professor and Okanagan Wine Festivals Society general manager.

“Using interviews with 900 visitors to the Winter, Spring and Fall Okanagan Wine Festivals in 2012 and early 2013, we looked specifically at what effect wine-related events and festivals had on their desire to come to the region,” said Baldwin.

Baldwin and his team discovered that the greatest influence on visitor motivation was event and festivals execution — meaning not just the

presence of those events but also the experience guests had while there.

“You may sell out your event or win an award for your wine but if you haven’t devoted enough resources to ensuring a seamless experience, such as having prominent directional signage, good traffic flow to your wine shop, enough tasting

room servers, and ample parking, visitors won’t return. And they won’t recommend it to their friends either,” he added.

These findings are especially important given the Okanagan’s increasing profile on the global wine stage. A 2014 poll of readers conducted by USA Today, found the Okanagan was the number two wine des-

tination in the world, behind Alentejo, Portugal.

Baldwin was invited to present his findings at the Academy of Wine Business Research conference at the University of Geisenheim in Germany earlier in the summer. The conference attracted 125 delegates from 28 wine regions including the Okanagan, Niagara, Sonoma, Napa, Marlborough, Adelaide, Bordeaux, Champagne, Oregon and Tuscany.

“This was a rare opportunity to promote Okanagan College and our region’s exceptional wineries, events and festivals to an international audience,” said Jonathan Rouse, Okanagan College’s Director of Food, Wine and Tourism.

“The critical knowledge gained from this primary research will add so much value to the industry,” added Rouse.

The project was part of a larger body of research originally conducted by the same group in 2013 that looked at the economic impact of wine tourism to the Okanagan.

Brothers: Adam (Kirsten) Hardisty, Shawn (Michelle) Hardisty, and Tyler Bryk of Burlington, ON. Sisters: Ammie and Allie Hardisty of Penticton, B.C. Grandparents: Sean and Bridget Heaney of Burlington, ON. Aunts: Brenda Hardisty of Keats Island, B.C., Connie Jones of Redmond, WA. Uncle: John Heaney of Burlington, ON. Many Cousins and a Legacy of Friends.

Service will be held Thursday August 28, 2014 at the Penticton United Church, (the blue church) 696 Main St. Penticton, B.C. at 1 PM. Celebration of Life to follow at the Okanagan Beach west of the S.S. Sicamous 3PM.

Paul passed away peacefully in Penticton with his family at his side August 23, 2014. He eagerly came into the world on March 16, 1968 at MSA Hospital in Abbotsford, BC. Paul is the loving son of Art and Donna Peters and eldest brother to Scott (Tiffany) and Troy (Tonya) Peters also of Abbotsford. He graduated from WJ Mouat in 1986 and throughout his school aged years demonstrated a passion for wrestling and baseball. Growing up in Abbotsford, Paul and his family enjoyed many outdoor activities and camping adventures together, and eventually with the guidance of his father, Art, he became an avid huntsman and fisherman. In 1993 Paul was blessed with his first born son Kyle, and shortly thereafter, in 1994, he proudly welcomed his second son Sean. Paul relocated to Penticton in 1994 and soon became a valued person in the community, forming many relationships and friendships.

Soon after his arrival in Penticton, Paul joined the Quest ball team where he quickly became part of their special family; their support has gone beyond what could have ever been expected. Paul was a devoted employee of Terasen Gas for over 20 years, and throughout his career, he formed many cherished friendships with his colleagues. Throughout his courageous battle with cancer Paul received the unconditional support and love of so many. His family will eternally be grateful to all of you.

He is survived by his boys, Kyle and Sean; his wife Ali and his step children, Kaylee, Dan, Justin, and Matthew; nieces Alexandra and Lauren and nephews, Jesse and Charlie.

Paul will be greatly missed by all who knew him and loved him. A Celebration of his Life will be held Monday, Sept.

1, 2014 1:00 p.m. at the Penticton Lakeside Resort. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be directed to Moog & Friends Hospice c/o Penticton & District Hospice Society. Condolences may be shared by visiting www.everdenrust.com
