PERFECT READING SPACE

NEWS Mark Brett

PENTICTON WESTERN Western News Staff

Working in conjunction with NASA, Penticton educator Patricia Tribe has designed a children’s reading program that’s literally out of this world.

Several weeks ago she was at Space Centre Houston meeting with officials for a final, detailed evaluation on whether the plan to have astronauts read books from the International Space Station (ISS) to kids on Earth would fly.

Admittedly a stressful presentation, her project, Story Time From Space, which she has worked on for over the last four years with astronauts and others, was given the green light.

“It’s incredibly daunting to go through these two tests (usability and safety) because if you don’t pass them you don’t go, especially after you’ve put so much effort into it,” said Tribe, who worked as education director at the Houston centre before moving to Penticton.

“They (NASA officials) help and want you to pass but it still very daunting but we passed and this is incredible. I shake my head sometimes, it’s taken years, a lot of determination and a lot of work.

“It really is a dream come true.”

Through the program astronauts are video taped aboard the space station reading and conducting simple experiments and demonstrations developed by veteran Canadian astronaut Bjarni Tryggvason to compliment the concepts found in the books.

People will then be able to go to the Story Time from Space website to access to the material.

Although limited information about he project has been released, Tribe is already receiving emails from educators around the world who are eager to connect.

The idea actually came to her while working on a pasta dish one evening at her Penticton home and she saw it as a way to bridge what she and others believe is a widening gap between science and language skills instruction in schools.

“I don’t believe we should sacrifice one for

the other and that’s why we need to get kids interested in science and I think this program can really do that,” said Tribe.

She first talked it over with her friend and astronaut Alvin Drew who was at the time preparing for his 2011 mission (STS 133) on the space shuttle Discovery, its final voyage.

Drew quickly got on board with the project and the search for appropriate reading material began at which time Tribe remembered

“Jeff’s books are really awesome because they have a story but they also have a lot of

good accurate science and that’s the key,” said Tribe.

Drew and other crew members actually downloaded some of Bennett’s books on their computers and did a test reading from Discovery during the 2011 flight.

Five of the author’s works are now currently on the space station, having been taken up in January 2014.

Beat the heat Dale Boyd

Western News Staff

Penticton is heading into a possible recordbreaking heat wave this weekend, and while that is great for beach-goers and summer fun, it puts young children and seniors at risk.

Temperatures begin rising past 30 degrees Celsius on Friday, but the extreme heat starts cooking on the weekend.

Temperatures averaging 37-38 degrees Celsius are expected over the weekend, flirting with the records for the month of June.

“We are expecting one or two records will fall over the weekend,” Lisa Coldwells, meteorologist with Environment Canada said. “We are looking at an extreme heat event.”

If the temperature hits 38 degrees it will break an all-time June record for the area, previously set at 37.8 degrees Celsius in 2008.

“It’s extremely hot for this time of the year,” Coldwells said.

Temperatures are expected to break and drop slightly in the middle of next week, bringing

daytime highs through Canada Day to around 33-34 degrees Celsius.

The heat wave is expected to break around July 3.

“Then usually what happens is you get instability in the atmosphere.

You get some thunderstorm development and it brings in cool air from the Northwest,” Coldwells said.

This wave is even more intense than the previous upper ridge, which pushed the warm desert air up to Penticton earlier this summer.

Kids four years old or younger and seniors 65 and up are at the highest risk for heat related illness. Also those who are overweight, take medication, have health problems or consume large amounts of alcohol are at higher risk.

Knowing the symptoms of heat related illness, prevention and knowing what to do when it happens can help you be better prepared for the extremely hot weather.

Heat related illnesses have a range of symptoms. Mild symptoms of headaches, blurred vision, nausea or vom-

iting, thirst and extreme sweating usually indicate heat exhaustion.

Heat exhaustion causes the skin to be cool, pale and moist.

“When people have these symptoms the best thing to do is to move the person to a cool, dry place. Have the person lie down or rest, apply cool water to the skin and reapply often,” said Dr. Kamran Golmohammadi, medical health officer with Interior Health.

If symptoms don’t

improve or worsen she said it’s best to call 911.

More extreme and severe cases of heat related illness may lead to heat stroke with symptoms like headaches, dizziness, disorientation, agitation and confusion.

A person suffering from heat stroke may become sluggish or fatigued and my even lose consciousness, with a significant increase in body temperature.

A rapid heartbeat and hot, red and dry skin can also indicate heat stroke.

Hallucinations can also be a symptom of more extreme heat related illness.

“These are cases of clinical emergency and they require immediate medical attention,” Golmohammadi said “The best thing for these people is to call 911.”

“It is good to know what to do to prevent heat related illnesses.”

Avoid direct sun exposure or doing exercise in excess at times in the day where temperatures are at the highest,

around noon into the early afternoon. Wear lightweight and lightcolour clothing to help the body ventilate and compensate for the heat.

Of course, drink plenty of water and stay and in a cool area.

Hot temperatures also means high UV exposure, making sunscreen a must.

“I think it’s also very important for people to know that alcoholic beverages deteriorate the compensatory mechanisms. So avoid drink-

ing alcohol,” Golmohammadi said.

“One other very important thing is cars and children. Never leave children alone in a parked car, even when the windows are slightly open,” said.

He said according to studies when the temperature outside is 34 degrees Celsius, within 20 minutes the temperature inside a car can exceed 52 degrees Celsius.

“That is very dangerous for small children,” Golmohammadi said.

Animal lover wants improved policies for injured deer Dan Walton

Western News Staff

A local animal lover is not satisfied with the actions of RCMP and conservation officers who would not euthanize a mortally wounded deer on the side of the road.

“We as the public are not forced to endure the suffering; having to watch this occur and know that these animals could be humanely dealt with, and it’s just not done,” said Theresa Nolet, who came across the deer south of Duncan Avenue on the east side of the road.

Nolet was driving on the Channel Parkway on Monday when she stopped out of concern of the injured deer which was nursing a young fawn. From her active involve-

ment with O.A.T.S. Horse Rescue and the AlleyCATS Alliance, Nolet deduced the injury was a broken leg. A person that had pulled over before Nolet informed her the conservation office was called and the dispatcher said no response would be issued.

“I was not satisfied with that answer,” said Nolet.

Nolet decided to call the RCMP who did dispatch an officer, although she didn’t consider his actions to be effective. To mitigate the situation for the fawn, Nolet said she relayed to the officer that she had the means to offer overnight rehabilitation and transport it to a safe environment the following day.

However, the officer refused to shoot the doe. Nolet said she’s witnessed the practice in the past, where RCMP have humanely

that could end badly. I don’t understand the thought process behind it.”

Conservation officer Dave Cox said every call is dealt with on a case-by-case basis, and the team didn’t feel it was appropriate to intervene. He believed the animal was not stressed enough that it needed to be euthanized. Cox said mule deer are very resilient and their will to survive is remarkable.

“We want to give an opportunity for the fawn to nurse and have a chance at surviving. If it gets to the point where (the doe) can’t care for herself or the fawn, then we’ll have to make a decision at that time.”

Nolet is hoping the incident will lead to improved public policy. She said she’ll be approaching MLA Dan Ashton, MP Dan Albas and possibly start a petition.

dispatched injured wildlife.

“So I know it can be done, and is done,” she said. “The deer and that little fawn are going to die unless by some miracle someone else comes upon them. I think their future’s kind of bleak.”

Nolet and the other driver watched the deer go into a bushy area and not come back out.

In addition to the “unnecessary suffering” endured by the doe, Nolet said she worries about the potential danger that could result.

“It’s a hazard. This deer was right beside the highway; the Channel Parkway is on the other side of the highway where they likely get their water – what if someone hits her or hurts the fawn, or has to swerve to avoid them. There’s a number of scenarios

From NASA on PG. 1 Tribe recalled contacting Bennett the first time to ask permission to use his material.

“Jeff thought it was a prank call and then Alvin got on the line and assured him it was not a prank and yes, we were actually serious about this,” she said.

Bennett too remembered that initial telephone call.

“Patricia’s right, I didn’t believe it at first,” he said during a telephone interview from his home in Boulder, Col. “That was a shocking one but then really, somebody would have to be going a long way out of their way to pull a hoax like that.

“It’s really exciting and to have the books picked up for something like this was just amazing. It’s a great honour and also really been a lot of fun to work with Patricia and Alvin and these other folks, they’re all really amazing people.”

He credited Tribe’s tireless efforts for making the project a reality, adding of all the work Bennett does, his true passion is to inspire kids to “reach for stars.”

“That’s why I started writing these books in the first place, I want kids to get more interested

Nurse receives highest honour Dale Boyd

Western News Staff

Penticton resident and nurse with the international Red Cross Dawn Anderson is one of 36 people in the world to receive the highest honour a nurse can get.

Shortly after returning home from Gaza, and before that assisting with relief efforts after the Nepal earthquakes, Anderson was the recipient of the Florence Nightingale Medal in Vancouver.

“It’s an international award so I was a bit shocked,” Anderson said.

It’s not easy to shock Anderson considering she works with the International Committee of the Red Cross as well as the Red Cross international organization the IFRC (International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies) providing her skills and knowledge mostly in combat zones including Kandahar, Central Africa and Gaza, but has provided disaster relief in Nepal, the Philippines and Haiti as well.

“It’s very humbling and all sorts of things because I work with the most amazing people and I know so many nurses who are international nurses who do humanitarian aid. So to be nominated and picked for it is very nice,” Anderson said.

She arrived in Penticton on Sunday after helping out with training efforts in Gaza. Before that she was on the ground during the 7.3 magnitude earthquake in Nepal. She said the situation is improving slightly after the two major earthquakes rocked the country, but the people there still have to live with the long-term effects.

“There’s still a lot of aftershock. I think it’s really rough in Nepal. They’ve forbidden any tourists from hiking and stuff like that, so it’s not just the natural structural stuff, but also for economics, things are just really bad,” Anderson said. “These people live off tourism and now there isn’t any.”

Anderson said the award stems from her work in Gaza helping the International Committee of the Red Cross staff, especially those with children, cope with the constant bombing and psychological issues that come as a result of working in a war zone.

“There was a lot of times I wasn’t allowed to go work in the hospital because it was being bombed. So we were stuck in the office. It was just a matter of sitting down and talking with the local staff that was working there and asking them what their biggest concerns were,” Anderson said.

She said many of the staff’s children were having a hard time coping with the stress.

“Their kids couldn’t sleep.

They were crying and up and couldn’t go to the bathroom,” Anderson said. “It was a matter of getting some programs running for them to help them teach their kids what they could do.”

This lead to psychological counselling and teaching parents to get their kids to paint, draw, write, read or any productive activity that would help them work through the trauma.

The dangerous areas she works are a far cry from coming home to the Okanagan, a challenge in itself for Anderson.

“It’s very two-sided,” she said.

“It’s the realization that you’re back home, you’re perfectly safe, but yet you miss certain things. I lived and worked with people 24 hours a day so I’m used to having everybody around and the feeling that you’re doing something. So when I come home and I relax and it’s all quiet, I still talk to my family and see people, but it’s not to the same extent of 24 hours a day.

“It can be really difficult. They call it reverse culture shock when you come home, but it’s an interesting phenomenon,” she continued.

The adjustments are worth it for her though, as Anderson has known what she wanted to do her whole life.

“I have a love for doing it.

I knew when I was young that when I grew up I was going to go and travel the world and see different places and nursing was one of the best ways to be able to do that. To be able to have a job you love and travel, not that everywhere I go is really a tourist site, but it’s still getting to be one-onone with the culture and working with local people.”

“Seeing people at their most vulnerable, it makes you feel good if you can help them at all to be there and see them through that.”

The Florence Nightingale Medal is the highest international distinction a nurse can achieve awarded to those nurses who show exceptional courage and devotion to the wounded, sick, disabled or to civilian victims of a conflict disaster. The award also acknowledges exemplary services or a creative and pioneering spirit in the areas of public health or nursing education.

Osteoarthritis is a painful condition caused by a gradual loss of cartilage from the joints. Osteoarthritis increases with advancing age. Obesity is also a factor as extra weight puts more stress on joints. Symptoms include pain that is worsened by activity and improved by rest as well as morning stiffness and a “grating” feeling in the affected joint.

Various drug and non-drug measures are employed to manage the condition.

Weight loss to reduce stress on joints is important those who are overweight. Exercise programs can help to strengthen muscles and improve range of motion. Remember to check with your physician before starting an exercise program to ensure the type of activities will be appropriate for you.

Walking is good for arthritis in the knees, but only to the point that it does not cause pain. Heating pads can be used to reduce stiffness whereas ice can

help relieve pain (but may temporarily increase stiffness).

Most people will also require some type of pain relieving medication.

Acetaminophen is usually recommended first as it is a good pain reliever and it’s side effects are generally less severe than anti-inflammatories. Anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen may be required if swelling is present. Keep in mind that anti-inflammatories can be hard on the stomach, increase blood pressure and affect the kidneys. Because of this, it is important to check with your physician or pharmacist when selecting a pain reliever. If these options are insufficient in managing symptoms, your physician will likely prescribe something stronger.

Recovering costs A billing error which cost the Municipality of Summerland nearly $100,000 has put that council and staff and the affected electrical users in an uncomfortable situation.

The error dates to 2012 and the first three months of 2013. At that time, close to 700 farm and business account holders were given a credit for which they did not qualify.

The municipality will now work to recover this amount.

The error has put the municipality into a difficult predicament.

Had municipal council chosen to write off the amount, some would criticize the decision as wasteful.

If the money could be written off, questions would be raised about whether other municipal fees and charges were fair.

Municipal council’s decision to collect the money now, three years after the fact, is equally difficult.

It will result in an extremely lengthy delay for those who will be told to repay, and it will raise questions of why the error was not noticed and corrected much earlier.

In addition, some of those who received the credit in error may have moved away or closed their businesses.

Questions will also be raised as to why the error was not discovered until years after the fact.

Had the error been discovered within months instead of years, it would be a much easier decision to send bills to the affected customers in an effort to correct the mistake.

As it stands, three years is a long time when it comes to rectifying billing errors.

PENTICTON The attemptWESTERN to correct this error will be unpleasant for all who are affected. This is a process none would ever want to see repeated.

Measures will be needed to ensure that if another billing error is made, it can be corrected as quickly as possible, to avoid any future delays.

Why the silence on right-wing extremism?

What comes to your mind when hearing the word terrorism?

I wouldn’t be sticking my neck out too far to assume imagery of the 9/11 attacks, Al Qaeda, ISIS/ ISIL or the Iraq War pass through many minds at the mention of the phrase.

A study recently released by the New America Foundation has uncovered some timely information in the aftermath of the Charleston shootings.

According to the study, since Sept. 11, 2001 the total number of people killed in the U.S. by deadly jihadist attacks is 26, while the amount of people killed by deadly right-wing attacks is 48.

We all clearly remember the 2012 Sikh Temple shooting, right? Well for those who don’t, on Aug. 5, 2012 Wade Michael Page killed six people in a Wisconsin Sikh temple. Page was found to be related to neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups.

Or how about the 2014 Kansas Jewish Center Shooting? Not ringing a bell? Frazier Glenn Cross was arrested on April 13, 2014 and charged with murder in two shootings that took place in Jewish institutions in Kansas City.

Cross was found to have connections with white supremacist movements

Cross appeared in court two weeks ago after firing his lawyers.

He filed a motion calling for an acquittal on all charges, and in the document he said his actions were not a crime, but a “homicide by necessity” fighting what he called the Jewish control of the government, media and banks.

The white supremacist tendencies of alleged Charleston shooter Dylann Roof are coming to light as well.

So why, with nearly double the amount of deaths, is right-wing extremism not getting twice the amount of attention? This information breaks the narrative I’ve been hearing since adults struggled to explain the 9/11 attacks and subsequent war to me as a teenager.

The impact of these narrative-breaking facts is more than things not being the way we thought they were. That kind of thing happens all the time through the smoke and mirrors of politics and international relations, this is a narrative that got presidents re-elected (cough, Bush, cough), terror legislation passed and most importantly, started wars that continue

to destroy a region many are willing to brush off as too far away too care.

It’s OK though, only 150 years after the civil war American politicians are finally starting to talk about taking the blatantly racist Confederate flag down from in front of the state house. It only took the death of nine innocent church-goers to get there.

It’s damning this issue is so scarcely talked about, and that right-wing politics has such an easy time creating straw men to start a war. Where’s the war on Christian nations?

Obviously we have to lump in the religion with it’s most extreme examples of radicals, or else it wouldn’t be fair to the Muslim nations.

This right-wing extremism isn’t just exclusive to our neighbours to the south either.

A 2014 study entitled Right-wing Extremism in Canada authored by James O. Ellis and Rich-

ard Parent explores the issue north of the border.

Right-wing organizations, most sharing some affiliation with Christianity, like the Sons of Freedom or the Ku Klux Klan have operated in Canada and the study says “there has been a consistent level of right-wing extremism in Canada since World War II.” You’ve probably never heard of the Canadian Ethnic Cleansing Team, I hadn’t, but one of their members was charged with uttering death threats and counselling to commit murder via a declaration of war against all London-based Jews and Muslims in September 2001.

A B.C. man was convicted of building a pipe bomb that was planted in a highway restroom in northeastern B.C. in 1999. He told a reporter at the time he was motivated by “certain political views.” Better start flying the drones over the Fort St. John.

An attempted murder of an abortion doctor by stabbing in Vancouver was claimed by the unknown group the Baby Liberation Army in 2000.

Three years earlier a sniper attempted the murder of an abortion doctor in Winnipeg. Where was the public rally to launch a war on Christian groups for harbouring these ex-

tremists? Where was the graffiti on Christian churches telling them to ‘go home’ wherever that would be?

Stephen Harper recently said he was “disgusted” by the actions of ISIS and that Canada is not going to sit on the sidelines. Yet the PM tweets that his heart goes out to the victims of the Boston Bombings, the people of Jordan, terrorism in West Jerusalem.

Not a single word from PMO on the Charleston shootings.

I’m sure his heart would be going out to the victims of that terrorist attack were there more oil reserves in South Carolina. But no, Harper seems content to only put his heart on his sleeve for those victims of Islamic terrorism. I guess you have to be killed by the right kind of terrorist to make the PM’s Twitter feed.

Following the Islamic terrorist narrative makes shoving legislation like Bill C-51 down Canadians’ throats a bit easier.

By the way, nine times more people die from falling out of chairs each year in the U.S. than have died from Islamic terrorist acts since 9/11.

Where is all the anti-chair legislation?

More consultation on Skaha The Western News readers poll question on May 21 was “Should the city be leasing out such a large portion of Skaha Beach for private development?”

Now that more, but still rather vague, information is available about the development plans by the Trio Marine Group to use quite a large area of Skaha Lake Beach parkland for a commercial waterslide park, there is even more reason to answer that question with a resounding no.

In this day and age, with even the Pope being concerned about the mess we make of our planet it would be a crime to take away a lovely piece of city beach and green parkland and put up some kind of noisy Vegas-type entertainment centre surrounded by wire fencing to be used no more than three months out of the year and probably mostly by tourists.

What wonderful folks we have in Penticton.

On June 20, we had a bad experience. My husband and I were having coffee at Cherry Lane food court when he fainted and fell to the floor. So many men came to my aid and got him up on a chair.

Thank you to the gentleman with the cell phone. He was so patient with me and got the ambulance to come. I am so sorry that I didn’t get your names, but you know who you are.

This is the only way to reach you all to thank you all so very much.

As of today, June 23, my husband is home and doing OK. Thanks again to each and every one of you.

May God bless you all.

should remember that most taxpayers here, and especially living on this side of town, are 65-plus and it will be doubtful if you would see many of us ever sliding down those slippery slides.

Do we need more chlorinated water being pumped into our lake or sewer system?

It is now a safe and quiet park and many of us find it enjoyable to sit on one of the many benches to watch the comings and going of the dragon boats and enjoying the beautiful view over the lake.

The proposed waterslide area is used by dragon boaters and the land in question is a welcome shady area during the annual dragon boat festival.

With the waterslide developed the kiddies splash park will be gone, and said to be later replaced with another. Where it is now is perfectly situated with the many picnic tables in between both playgrounds

come this October election.

The different reasons given by these individual departures make me want to reach for a crying towel — that is if I believed anyone of them. There are claims that Liberal leader Justin is just not ready. Perhaps referring to an uncooked turkey comes to mind?

Stephen Harper on the other hand has managed to disgrace and abuse the power of Canada’s highest office and should have the guts to be number 35 as his goose, for far too long ,has been over-cooked and please take Kenney with you?

That leaves NDP leader Tom Mulcair warming up the burner that will shed a brand new light on a political NDP menu that all Canadians may enjoy.

Now my questions require an answer. Why is the disgraced senate still performing on such a crumbling stage brought down by the surfacing of hidden truth and the guilty must face jail time to fit the crime?

Many a birthday party are being celebrated there as it is such a great and safe spot for families with young children.

Quite a few of those lovely shady trees are dedicated to loved ones, well they will be gone.

The new signs which were recently put at either end of the park will be outdated and guess who will be paying for new ones?

There should be more public consultation available when such drastic changes are made to public areas.

Kids use the floating water park on Okanagan Lake this week however there have been some unwanted people on the Wibit after hours.

Mark Brett/Western News

Late night trespassers jump aboard Wibit Dan Walton

Western News Staff

The new floating water park off the shore of Lake Okanagan has been attracting unwanted visitors late at night, and without help from local police – the owners are limited in how they can enforce against trespassers.

Cpl. Don Wrigglesworth of the Penticton RCMP wants to see the business solve its own problem.

“The owners have failed to do anything to discourage this type of incident. They need to secure it themselves, it’s not our job,” he said. “Are we going to go out there and kick people off? No.” Rylie Gallagher, co-owner of Okanagan Wibit, said his company tries to deter trespassing by commissioning overnight security patrols, but the approach isn’t hands-on.

“The security there is basically in place to tell people that the park is closed; they are trespassing; what they are doing is illegal,” he said. “Short of putting up an electric fence around the park we can only do so much.”

In the event of a trespasser injuring him or herself, Gallagher said the matter of liability is subjective to the law and depends on the circumstances, but he feels due diligence is being demonstrated through signage and security.

“It’s clearly stated when you can’t be on the park. We’re doing everything in our power to notify those people that they cannot be on the park and they are entering it at their own risk, and that they need to get off and they are trespassing.”

Mayor Andrew Jakubeit said there were provisions in the agreement between Wibit and the city stating the park will police itself, and he hopes to see that message staunchly driven home.

“Perhaps they need to have a bit more of a presence at the initial stages, but it is up to the owner to ensure that

he’s protecting his investment from people accessing it when they’re not supposed to be – particularly if they’re intoxicated,” he said. “We don’t want people out in the water when they’re in that state of mind.”

He said both parties will have a chance to review the agreement at the end of the season.

“We’ll sit down and see if it made sense and that everyone was happy with how things transpired,” he said.

“See what changes have to be made, if any, to improve it over the following years.”

Gallagher first launched a floating water park last summer in Kelowna, which is still in operation from that location. That site has also experienced people trespassing.

“In Kelowna in my experience dealing with the RCMP is that they feel there’s nothing that they can do, or there’s nothing that they’re going to, and it’s basically our problem to solve.

Which is kind of disappointing.”

He hopes the few people misusing the park don’t ruin it for everybody, but despite concerns, Gallagher said the park has received mostly good feedback.

“People are really happy that we have something for younger people in Penticton,” he said. “There’s a lot that caters to an older demographic in Penticton and Kelowna – basically the whole Okanagan; but not a lot of things that target a younger demographic.”

“We’re excited that we have another amenity on the water,” Jakubeit said.

“It’s good for beach-goers to have one more thing to do there.”

While he has no immediate plans to expand, Gallagher said when the time comes, he has his eye on Vernon and Osoyoos.

“I was raised in the Okanagan and I’ve lived around the Okanagan my whole life, so I’d like to expand in my own backyard.”

$97 K error addressed John Arendt Black Press

The Municipality of Summerland will bill electrical customers to correct a residential energy credit, mistakenly given to electrical customers in 2012 and the first three months of 2013.

On Monday evening, municipal council passed a resolution to send bills to recoup the amount of $97,073.

The credit was mistakenly given to 519 farm accounts and 163 home business accounts.

The provincial government had introduced the residential energy credit to offset the increase in cost to consumers caused by the harmonized sales tax. Be-

fore the harmonized sales tax was introduced, residential energy was not charged the provincial sales tax.

An audit by the Ministry of Finance, Consumer Taxation Audit Branch determined the municipality had mistakenly given the credit to customers who did not qualify for the rebate.

The error affected farm and business use along with residential use on the same meter.

The farm use accounted for $82,507 while the business component was $14,566.

A staff recommendation called for the municipality to write off the amount, due to the nature of the event and the time frame it covers.

Coun. Richard Barkwill disagreed with the recommendation.

“I don’t see how we can walk away from nearly $100,000,” he said. “It’s just too much.”

“You’re going to hear a great hue and cry about this,” said Coun. Janet Peake.

Linda Tynan, chief administrative officer for the municipality, said there are a few farms and businesses which will receive high bills, but the majority of the affected accounts will be billed $100 to $300 to make the correction.

Coun. Erin Carlson said the error, which began more than three years ago, should have been addressed earlier.

The resolution was carried with Peake, Carlson and Coun. Erin Trainer opposed.

Osoyoos man killed in motorcycle incident identified Western News Staff

He’s billed as a oneman band, but Steve Hill and his music are as far from the typical street corner performer, with cymbals between his knees and a drum on his back, as you can imagine.

“I go from Robert Johnson to (Jimi) Hendrix to jam stuff that could sound more like the Grateful Dead. It’s a wild show, it’s pretty intense,” said Hill, who is making his first appearance at the Dream Café on June 27.

On stage, Hill does it all, with a snare and bass drum setup so he can pound out a beat with his feet, and a drumstick on the head of his guitar to play the cymbal.

He’s also learned to play harmonica.

“It is keeping me busy for sure,” said Hill, who took home four 2015 Maple Blues Awards including Electric Act of the Year, Guitarist of the Year, Recording/Producer of the Year and Entertainer of the Year and the 2015 Juno Blues Album of the year for his Solo Recordings, Volume 2.

“About four years ago, I released an album and it didn’t do well. I needed to find a way to make some money,” said Hill, who added that after playing with bands and solo since he was 16, he figured he could always make a living playing the guitar.

“When I was 18, I would play on street corners and make $10 in half an hour. I figured I could go back to some of the smaller clubs where I used to play and do a solo show,” said Hill.

At the same time, he started recording some of his new solo music in the studio, stomping his foot to add percussion, and eventually adding some simple percussion he could operate with his foot. All of this was recorded live, rather than laying down separate tracks and mixing them.

That studio work eventually became his Solo Recordings, Volume 1, adding one-man band to Hill’s reputation as a blues musician.

“It has sold 10,000 copies so far. That’s pretty good for a blues album in

To me it is just music … they can all be mixed together.

— Steve Hill

Canada,” said Hill, noting the album’s critical success, which includes a Juno nomination among its several honours.

“I did close to 200 shows with it. That was my most successful adventure yet,” said Hill. “I had to do a follow up to it, which was Volume 2, and I added more stuff. Now it sounds more like a band than it did when I did Volume 1.”

With roots in blues, rock and a little bit of country, Hill performs his original songs, blues classics and quite often raucous renditions of Jimi Hendrix tunes. His inspiration comes from listening to some of the great bands of his youth, like

Cream and Led Zeppelin.

And reading interviews with them.

“They would always talk about Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf and Robert Johnson,” said Hill. “I’m influenced by the old blues guys, Delta blues and Chicago blues, but also country stuff, like Waylon Jennings Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, rock and roll from the ‘50s, Jerry Lee Lewis, all these guys.”

Putting all that together isn’t that hard a job, according to Hill.

“You know what? Old rock ‘n’ roll, blues and country? It’s the same three chords,” said Hill.

“It’s all connected. To me it is just music … they can

all be mixed together.”

The stop at the Dream Café is just one of many on a tour that is seeing Hill crisscross the country from Vancouver to Thunder Bay and back into his home province of Quebec.

“I do about 125 to 150 shows a year these days,” said Hill, who has shared his talent at some of Canada’s biggest music festivals, including the Montreal Jazz Festival, Mont Tremblant International Blues Festival, Thunder Bay Blues Festival, Kitchener Blues Festival and more.

Hill takes to the stage at the Dream Café on June 27 at 8 p.m. Call 250-4909012 for ticket sales and reservations.

Western News Staff

After six years of bringing some of the top acts in country music to Mission, the Rockin’ River Music Festival is heading for Merritt.

Up until 2012 Merritt was home to the Merritt Mountain Music festival. The 18-year-old festival was cancelled, according to organizers, because of dwindling ticket sales.

Rockin’ River organizer said that moving the music back to Merritt should mean a lot to the residents who pass the bronzed handprints, murals and tributes to some of country music’s most legendary talent every day.

Festival president and CEO Kenny Hess got his start in Merritt, part of why the hills called him back once again.

“This is a party for all ages with so much more than just the incredible lineup of performers we’re gathering. I got my start here and it means a lot to be a part of bringing back the music and bringing back the people to celebrate in Merritt,” said Hess in a release.

The festival, one of Western Canada’s largest country music celebrations, brings international headliners like Lady Antebellum, Dierks Bentley, Big & Rich, Chris Young, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and many more. Canadian superstars like Dallas Smith, Tebey, Beverley Mahood, MacKenzie Porter, the Boom

Chucka Boys and the rest will also have the crowd stomping.

The festival offers fun for all from water fights, cooling off in the nearby Coldwater River to volleyball courts, giant foosball and ping pong. There’s even an aerial option to take in the surrounding scenery by way of helicopter rides.

Camping on-site is available for the duration of the festival.

Those shy of camping need not fret with glamping options available, with the new additions of private port o’potties and Kahuna Kabanas – private wooden cabins with views of the Coldwater River.”

Tickets are still available in single day or four-day options with VIP add-ons for concert-goers that only want the best.

Ready for Canada Day Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Bring your blanket, your sunscreen, your chairs and park it in Gyro park for the day is Kerri Milton’s advice for Canada Day. “It is going to be a full day,” said the executive director of the Downtown Penticton Association, which is sponsoring the Canada Day Celebrations for the third year.

Throughout the day on July 1 and up to the start of the fireworks in the evening, the flow of entertainers across the stage in Gyro Park is sure to keep the crowd entertained, with dancers, gymnasts and musicians.

“We have unbelievable music talent. The ending headliner of the night is Tiller’s Folly and they are an awesome Celtic band,” said Milton. “It was really important to me to make it multicultural, so we have all kinds of dance and music from a variety of cultures this year.”

There will be plenty to do for the kids as well, with Andy’s Animal Acres bringing a petting zoo and the pony rides, along LocoLanding bringing their monkey bounce ride over.

“And we have bouncy castles filling up the 100 block again,” said Milton. “We have the usual dignitaries and the cake cutting at noon as well as the 2015 Miss Penticton candidates.”

Like last year, Cues, Brodo Kitchen and Bad Tattoo have partnered to set up a family dining area again, under the trees with a white picket fence.

“It is a full, full schedule. It is starting at 8 a.m. and it is going right through the fireworks at 10:30 p.m.,” said Milton. “One of the biggest mandates for the DPA is building community and there is no better way to build community than to celebrate Canada’s Birthday.”

Kicking off the day is the annual pancake breakfast, sponsored for years by Quota International, which has joined forces with the South Okanagan Women in Need Society.

Funds raised through the event assist Quota’s local community

projects for disadvantaged women and children including South Okanagan Women in Need Society, plus the deaf and hard of hearing.

Crystal Berry is Quota’s volunteer co-ordinator who participated in the pancake breakfast for the first time last year.

“I was just amazed at the number of people lining up for pancake breakfasts. The line-up was just huge, it went around the block even,” said Berry. “It was amazing to see how many people come out and are supportive. I think we have a great community involvement in that way.”

When the pancake breakfast is done, Quota and SOWINS will be serving up hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch. Berry said it is an exhausting day that she loves to be involved in.

“Probably one of our biggest challenges is having enough people in at the right times,” said Berry, noting that they are still looking for volunteers.

“We will take volunteers right up until that morning,” said Berry, adding that anyone wanting to lend a hand can contact her at 250-4860768 or crystalberry@shaw.ca.

The day wraps up, as it has since 1994, with fireworks sponsored by the Lakeside Resort.

“We have been sponsoring and running the fireworks because Canada Day is such an iconic, important event,” said Brannigan Boyd, director of sales and marketing for the resort.

She explains that community involvement is important to the resort, and they want to ensure that the community doesn’t need to leave town for Canada Day fireworks.

“We hate to see people leave Penticton. We definitely know there are people that leave and go down to Osoyoos, so that is why we have the aim to keep the community here on such an important occasion,” said Boyd. “We also want to see the tourists stay here.”

In past years, the Lakeside footed the bill for the fireworks, but with rising costs, they have encouraged businesses and individuals to join in. She says they have raised about $15,000 of this year’s $20,000 goal so far.

Boyd said they have developed a good relationship with Skyline Fireworks over the years.

“Every year, they have always given us extra time on top, which is very kind on their part. They always throw in some extras,” said Boyd. “Probably, we are looking at a 15-minute show starting at 10:30 p.m.”

Traffic check snags man with Canada-wide warrant Western News Staff

The major road checks around Penticton last week led to the arrest of a man with a Canada-wide warrant.

A South Okanagan Traffic Services member checked an uninsured vehicle on June 20 which led to a four-day investigation in the rural area between

Oliver and Osoyoos.

The 49-year-old man was arrested without incident on June 24 for charges relating to the sexual assault of a young child, and is being transported back to Calgary to face a court date.

This was the fifth warrant executed by police as a result of the road checks from last weekend.

Families sought to host Japanese visitors

at 200 Rosetown Avenue

High school students from Japan are coming to experience Penticton next month, and the program organizing the adventure is looking for host families that want to help the teens explore the True White North.

Each summer through Muskoka Language International Homestay, a class of 15 and 16-year-old Japanese students leave the densely populated city of Tokyo to experience the Okanagan “They’re used to everything being big and pretty much free of trees and open space,” said Michelle Edis, program coordinator. “That’s one of the things they’re most excited about — they have to write an intro paragraph about themselves, and they’re all excited to see Canada’s nature, so the Okanagan’s the place to be.”

The students who make the trip each year come from the same school in Tokyo, and Penticton was initially chosen as their destination because it’s a smaller city that offers the English-immersion program an attractive natural surrounding.

To fully immerse the students into an English-speaking environment, the students are

kept separate from eachother when they spend time with their host families. Edis is looking for families that will have the time and desire to show their guests around the community, and engage in meaningful discussion.

Host families will be required to provide students with transportation to KVR Middle School during weekdays, as well as pack them a lunch.

The Japanese students will spend the first half of their

weekdays at school learning English, and the second half exploring the Okanagan.

On the first day the class takes a walking tour of Penticton and later involve themselves as local volunteers.

“Then during evenings and all weekend the students spend time with their host families learning English; learning how we do things; what we do for fun. And the families have always been fantastic — they really show them a good time,”

said Edis.

Edis will be hosting a student herself this summer, and took one in last year as well.

She keeps near-weekly contact with her guest from last year, and said that he recently sent her a CD he made containing his favourite music from Japan.

Edis is also a dance teacher so the exchange students’ love for music gave them lots to talk about. He’s even looking at returning to Penticton to stay with her family again for a month.

With the advent of Facebook, Edis said that keeping in touch has become extremely simple. Citing a recent online conversation, Edis said the student’s favourite part of last year’s visit were the sweets, second only to his water tubing experience.

The program matches students with families that share similar interests as much as possible, she said. Modest compensation is offered to the hosts. Edis said that often families with children are ideal hosts.

The visit will be taking place this year between July 20 and 31. Those interested in taking an international students under their wing can find out more by contacting Edis at michelle.w.edis@gmail.com.

Racing to provincials Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Ten members of the Penticton BMX club have qualified for provincials.

Set to represent the club in Langley at the end of August are Zane and Brody McLean, Nash and Garrett Bayston, Demico and Marquez Gonzalez, Josh Holland, Al Box as well as Corey and Mia Brown. The riders earned the right to compete with the best following strong performances in Kamloops and Vernon on June 20, then Kelowna and Penticton on June 21.

“Overall, our riders have done really well,” said Penticton BMX club president Andrew Bayston.

Box, a former professional BMX rider, relied on previous experience to give him success on the weekend.

“Just been spending a lot of time eating the right foods during the break,” said Box, 40, prior to his last race, which didn’t go well on his home track near Lion’s Park. “Going to sleep early, spinning around on my road bike in between the races.

They are just some of the things that a lot of cross country or road racers would be doing.

You don’t see that very often in BMX. I want to instill that in the kids.”

Box said while BMX racing has become a family event, he has faced skilled older riders.

“You think it would just be an average day at the park, it’s not,” said Box. “They are extremely fit. A 49-yearold did a 24-foot jump, which is the biggest one in Kelowna. That’s an exceptional feat.

“I’m trying to win a

provincial title myself,” he continued.

Holland qualified in the 20-inch category and cruiser. Competing in Kamloops, he won both his races, then finished first and second in Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton. Holland has been to provincials before, but missed out last year due to a broken collar bone.

The provincial qualifying race in Penticton featured 24 motos with 109 riders. When asked

MIA BROWN, above, and Al Box, are two of 10 Penticton BMX riders who have qualfied to compete in provincials in Langley at the end of August. The Penticton BMX club hosted a provincial qualifying race at Lions park on June 21. The club also went to Kamloops, Vernon and Kelowna for races.

about the turnout, Box said it was low in his opinion, but firmly believes once they get a new track those numbers will improve. He said their current track

doesn’t fulfill the needs of a lot of the riders.

“That’s a big issue for everybody involved,” he said. “It’s such a great family sport. I’d like to see it really pick up. Get

better for the town.”

Bayston was happy with the numbers and thankful to those who traveled (some as far as Prince George) to their track to compete.

“We want to offer them the same calibre of track that they offered us,” said Bayston.

The Penticton Tim Hortons Pinnacles would love for some bounces to go their way this weekend.

The Pinnacles were edged by the Abbotsford Magnuson Ford Soccer Club 2-1 at Kings Park in Pacific Coast Soccer League Premier division play June 20. Since a 1-1 draw against the Vancouver Thunderbirds on May 30, they are winless in three games.

“I think we’re playing pretty good. We’ve had some unlucky bounces,” said Pinnacles forward Randy Hubber. “Two of those games we had penalty shots in the last five minutes of the game. Against Vancouver, the guys struck it from 30 or 40 yards and went in.

“It kind of sucks,” said Hubber.

“It’s hard on the team when you start losing games like that. When you are in it and you should be getting points.”

Araujo echoed Hubber’s feelings on the team’s play. On June 27, the Pinnacles host the defending George Cambidge Memorial League Cup champs, Khalsa Sporting Club,

at 6 p.m at Kings Park. Khalsa Sporting Club won on Tuesday 2-1 against Abbotsford. On June 28, the Pinnacles host Vancouver United FC at noon, who they lost 3-2 against on June 14.

“This is important for us in the league to try and get some points,” said Araujo. “Will we make playoffs? I think it will be tough because of the amount of points that we are behind. You never know. We have to keep working hard. We got to try and get a couple of wins so we can get the momentum going.”

Being new to the Premier Division, Araujo said they are seeing the experience factor.

“We are not used to this level on a regular basis compared to what the teams from the coast bring,” he said. “I think that’s the biggest thing.

When you go down and all of a sudden you cause a penalty, in very crucial moments, those are learning moments for us that we shouldn’t be doing that.”

It’s the first meeting of the season between the Pinnacles and Khalsa Sporting Club. Vancouver United is a squad that challenged the Pinnacles

with experience as several players have played at the varsity level or higher. Araujo believes that makes a difference. Hubber said compared to the Reserve Division, which they played in last year, players are bigger, stronger and faster. He doesn’t notice much of a difference in skill.

With the four teams qualifying, the Pinnacles, two wins, one draw and seven losses, are nine points behind Khalsa Sporting Club for the final berth.

“A couple bounces our way and we would be right up there in the mix for the playoffs,” said Hubber. “I personally think we are a playoff team.”

To get back on track, Hubber said they just need to keep the ball on the ground and play a quick, tight game. Playing at home should help.

The Pinnacles have one win, a draw and two losses. Araujo hopes they can get a good crowd supporting them.

“We will have more of the youth coming out because last weekend they were all in Kamloops doing the play downs,” he said. “I think that feeds off the players. Hopefully we can have a couple of wins.”

Jared Samuelson earned MVP honours Saturday after he hit a double and triple. Danny Grant also hit a double for the Tigers.

The SOMBA Tigers season ended with a 13-10 loss to Kelowna in the South Okanagan midget 2A final on June 21. Tigers coach Grant Konno said it was a “very exciting game.”

“We had to fight back, being down 9-3 after three innings,” said Konno.

The Tigers scored three runs in the fourth and four in the sixth to trail 11-10. Kelowna added two runs in the sixth and seventh.

Coach pushing Pikes hard Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

The Penticton Pikes are being pushed hard in the pool during training.

Coach Cole Midtdal’s goals is an increase in the number of swimmers who qualify for provincials and reach the podium compared to last year.

“I’m really trying to up the intensity at a quicker rate this year since they have something to build off of last year,” said Midtdal.

“We’re still emphasizing technique at this

point. We’re training a lot harder, a lot quicker this year to try and get them in shape a lot faster.”

Last August, the Pikes had eight members qualify for the provincial championship in Kamloops where they won nine medals.

Midtdal joked that at times his swimmers don’t like him because of how hard he works them.

“They are really tired by the end of the day. It really pays off at the meet,” said Midtdal. “In Revelstoke

(June 6), we almost had 100 per cent best times for everyone. A lot of people took off a lot of time. A lot of improvement.”

It’s a very good start for the Pikes, who Midtdal said had a similar performance last year. The strong start is a result of the continued focus on the technical side. Midtdal sees starting the season with intensity as a building block.

“I think we can improve even more than we did last year. Be more competitive,” he

said.

The Pikes took last weekend off except for one member, who missed the opening meet. The break is considered a good thing for the group since they will have an event every weekend in July.

Midtdal has a new assistant coach working with him this season, though the person is a familiar face to him: Celina Glabus.

She was a swimming instructor in Okotoks, Alta.

Disc golfers learn at nationals Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

The 2015 Professional Disc Golf Association Canadian nationals proved to be a great learning experience for Sonya Ewaniuk and Shane Quesnel.

Ewaniuk, a member of the Penticton Disc Golf Club (PDGC), didn’t accomplish her goal of finishing in the top two, but she wasn’t far off. She placed third in a field of five in advanced women. She shot the best in two of four rounds, scoring 69 in round two and 66 in round four.

Overall, she finished 68 over par with 293 shots, six behind Kelowna’s Shelly Lewandoski.

“It was pretty close. After the second round I was pretty excited,” said Ewaniuk, who had thought she might be able to win.

A bad third round, in which she shot 88, seven shots behind Lewandoski, hurt her. That round was played at Queen Elizabeth Park, which wasn’t friendly to left-handers like Ewaniuk.

“I hit a lot out of bounds. It was a challenge going into Sunday,” said Ewaniuk. “We all did really well overall. I would have liked to have done better.”

What Ewaniuk learned from competing against the best is she needs to improve specific skills, such as her drive. She also discovered it might be time to retire some

of her old discs and experiment with new ones. There are new makes and types of plastic which could benefit her skills.

Quesnel, also a member of PDGC, was shooting for a top-25 finish among the field of 50 in advanced men.

He finished 45th, 45 over par shooting 275. The winner, Brendan Armstrong of Vancouver, finished even after shooting 230 in four rounds. Quesnel admitted he didn’t place well, but said it was hard on a lot of players. His best scores were 59 in round two and 63 in the third round.

“It was really fun. The course was extremely long and challenging,” said Quesnel. “I managed some really great shots on some holes. Did better than my previous best drives. One was 350 and one was 375. A few that I just tapped in for birdie.”

What Quesnel learned is that he needs to be more consistent with his drives and work on fade shot that go right on long courses. He also needs to manage the course better, play angles smarter. Quesnel also said playing more aggressive to try to climb the standings didn’t help him.

His performance however didn’t diminish how he felt about the weekend.

“It was a great time. It was like New Year’s for disc golfers,” he said. “The camaraderie and people are awesome.”

THE OKANAGAN HOCKEY ACADEMY, in white, faced off against Kelowna’s Pursuit of Excellence in the Canadian Sport School Hockey League’s Bantam Prep Division championship. The OHA won and will look to defend their title in the South Okanagan Events Centre again next season.

CSSHL playoffs returning Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Members of the Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL) have voted in favour of hosting the championship in Penticton again next year.

Penticton hosted the CSSHL playoffs last March and now it is tentatively scheduled for March 10, 2016.

“I think it’s great. It’s fantastic for the com-

munity to get it back,” said Andy Oakes, president of the Okanagan Hockey Group, who was re-elected as chairperson on the CSSHL executive on June 10. “The event is going to grow from 33 teams to over 50. The event is going to grow in size, which is great.”

That growth comes from the addition of the female division, which is expected to have six teams as well as new programs in the Northern Alberta X-Treme and Okanagan Hockey Academy Edmonton.

Oakes said that members were complimentary about the South Okangan Events Centre and the operation of the event.

The championship received exposure from high-level teams from junior B to major junior as well as the National Collegiate Athletic

Association, Canadian Internuniversity Sport and the NHL.That attention, Oakes said, was great for the athletes.

“Just the reality of being able to have all of the teams in the league all in one place at one time, it’s a real unique experience,” he said.

In other CSSHL news, work is being done to getting attention on the female division.

Oakes said building on the division is important as it adds to the league’s diversity. The Okanagan Hockey Academy Female Prep team will continue playing in the Junior Women’s Hockey League, but will also face some CSSHL teams.

In July, Oakes and two other league reps will be in Toronto meeting with 10 schools from the Maritimes and Ontario to explore the option of

having a CSSHL Eastern Division. That would work towards having a national championship.

During the annual general meeting June 9-10 in Tsawwassen, CSSHL members voted unanimously to promote Pacific Coast Hockey Academy and Shawnigan Lake School from associate member status to full membership status.

The league also finalized the schedule format for all male divisions, with the Female Prep Division to be announced at a later time. Each division will play a mix of showcase events and flex games: Prep Division: 36 games, Varsity: 30 games, Elite 15s: 35 games, Bantam Prep: 24 games and Bantam Varsity: 24 games.

BCHL releases Showcase schedule Western News Staff

The British Columbia Hockey League has released the schedule for the fourth Bauer BCHL Showcase Sept. 24 to 27 at Prospera Centre in Chilliwack.

The defending BCHL and Western Canada Cup champion Penticton Vees open on Sept. 24 against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs at 4 p.m. On Sept. 25, the Vees play their final Showcase game against the host Chilliwack Chiefs at 7:30 p.m.

About 200 scouts from the college and professional ranks are expected to attend. Over the last three seasons, since

the Showcase began, the BCHL has averaged 137 players with college commitments and this past season, there were 247 BCHL graduates playing National Collegiate Athletic Association Div. I hockey.

There have also been 12 BCHL players selected in the two NHL Entry Drafts since the first Showcase was held.

There are five current BCHL players (Marcus Vela, Langley; Carmine Buono, Powell River; Thomas Aldworth, Vernon; Liam Finlay, Vernon and Vincent Desharnais, Chilliwack) listed by NHL Central Scouting leading into this year’s draft.

Doggone winner Dan Walton

Western News Staff

A Penticton woman spearheaded a relentless recycling campaign which saw $3,000 donated to Boston Terrier Rescue Canada (BTRC).

Karla Brandt said winning the Febreze Frenzy recycling contest has made her even more conscious of how recycling can benefit the community.

“Like this event or bottle drives,” she said. “People don’t always realize the value in their garbage and what it can do to help those in need.”

In partnership with its title sponsor, the Febreze Frenzy was organized by TerraCycle Canada, which is a waste management company that focuses on environmental stewardship.

The contest challenged participants to collect non-traditional recyclable items, such as cookie and cracker wrappers, coffee containers, home cleaning waste and the packaging of home care products, including air care cartridges and Swiffer wipes.

The contest was held throughout Canada, and recyclables that were collected had to be shipped to TerraCycle’s headquarters in Toronto.

“Karla and the BTRC volunteers took a very smart approach to win this contest,” said Vanessa Farquharson, communications manager at TerraCycle. “Instead of simply collecting used Swiffer packs and bottle caps in their homes, they involved their local

communities, rallied everyone they knew on social media and ultimately convinced dog lovers across the country to join in this effort. Karla is passionate about helping the environment, too, and I’m sure that made it all the more rewarding for her to participate.”

In addition to collecting the permitted recyclables that she could from her friends and family, Brandt reached out to the community in many ways – such as appealing to animal lovers through a collection station she arranged at Bosley’s Pet Food Plus.

In total, BTRC collected 3,475 units of recyclables which totalled 187.65 pounds.

That was more than 1,000 units ahead of the runner up, which was a school in Toronto. That team gathered 2,298 units for a total of 124.092 pounds.

Brandt said the $3,000 will support veterinary expenses for the dogs that are in BTRC’s care.

“BTRC is 100 per cent funded by donations and fundraising events.

This is a substantial amount from just one fundraiser, but we have an amazing crew of volunteers that attend and host events across Canada.”

As a strong supporter of BTRC, Bosley’s supports the cause monthly by offering a nail trim the second Thursday of every month from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., with all proceeds supporting the charity.

Local tapped for event/sport role Dan Walton

Western News Staff

The Event/Sport Development position through Tourism Penticton has commenced, and the new recruit is ready to show Penticton to be “the ideal gathering place” that its name originates from.

After receiving over 70 applications from around Canada, the role was filled by Lisa Navin, who was born and raised in Penticton.

“We have everything to offer in a nice compact area,” she said, adding that she has a rich background in event management and corporate administration. Navin gained some of that experience over the past 12 years in Alberta before moving back to the Okanagan a decade ago.

As a sports fan, Navin said the Vees are her favourite team to follow and she enjoys spending as much time outdoors as possible.

“Skiing, biking, water sports — you can do it all here.”

The objective of the new position is two-pronged — increase the quality and number of visits to Penticton, and entice guests to become residents — especially through sports tourism, though corporate and entertainment events will also be engaged.

“It will enrich what we already have here.”

“Locals don’t have to leave town as festivals and events grow,” said Chris Bower, executive director at Tourism Penticton. “We’re really happy that Lisa’s here; it’s great to be able to hire a local person with her skill set. She was the right person for the job. The way she’s excited about the job itself — you have to love to do the job.”

Beginning at the end of May, Navin was committed to a oneyear contract, and the decision on whether or not to lengthen the agreement will be made after a review by council next September.

The role was made possible by a collaborative effort; the City of Penticton is supporting the position with $55,000 in funding out of this year’s economic development budget, and Penticton Hospitality Association chipped in $40,000 “In 2015, budget was allocated towards economic development, in particular to stimulate growth in number of events and participation; leverage it into resident recruitment,” said economic development officer Colleen Pennington. “You’re feeding a much bigger opportunity for the City of Penticton — one that allows us to differentiate ourselves from other destinations.”

“I think this is not only a true example of collaboration, but

to aChieve its interwoven economic objectives, tourism Penticton created a position for event/Sport Development, and lisa navin was the successful candidate that vied for the job.

Dan walton/western news

also teamwork from different departments,” said Coun. Tarik Sayeed.

Among the many attributes, the agreement will allow sport and tourism organizations “to create opportunities for people to come a day earlier or stay a day later,” Mayor Andrew Jakubeit said.
