Valedictorians not done with Penticton quite yet Joe Fries

Western News Staff

As many of their peers pack up and prepare to put Penticton in the past, a couple of valedictorians are planning to do just the opposite. Sidne Hack and Cody Gannon, who were selected to represent the class of 2014 at Princess Margaret Secondary School, both intend to stick around in the fall. “I’m not ready to leave yet, I don’t think,” said Hack, 18, who will now enter the business program at Okanagan College. “I love Penticton.” Gannon, also 18, wants to get a job

and save money before travelling or heading back to school. “We are blessed where we live. We truly are. We’ve got two lakes, the channel, we’ve got six or seven ski hills within a three-hour drive. There’s so many things to do,” he said. Still, “There is that sense that it is a small town,” Gannon added. “Stuff gets around.” Penticton is made even smaller by modern technology and social media, which both graduates feel has made high school harder for them than it was for previous generations.

Watching top NHL prospects in the Vancouver Canucks Young Stars Classic is turning into an annual event for Okanagan hockey fans. “We would sure like to see it that way,” said Stan Smyl, senior advisor to the Canucks general manager. “That’s the way we see the future of the Classic going.” The hockey club announced Thursday the event would return to Penticton in September for the fourth time. Rookie squads from the Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames and Winnipeg Jets will attend. “We are quite excited. It’s turning into a signature event,” said event chair and city councillor Andrew Jakubeit. “We really want to showcase that.” Smyl said it’s because of the great support from Okanagan residents and the Penticton area coming out and watching the younger players. With the Oilers selecting third overall, the Flames fourth, Canucks sixth and the Jets ninth in this year’s NHL draft, Smyl said Penticton fans could potentially see highly touted prospects such as Aaron Ekblad, Sam Reinhart or Michael Dal Colle. The 2014 Canucks Young Stars Classic will run Sept.12-15. Ticket packages will go on sale on Friday, July 11, at 10 a.m. “We are excited to host the Young Stars Classic, now in its fourth year, in beautiful Penticton,” said Trevor Linden, president of Canucks Sports and Entertainment, in a statement.

“This is an excellent tournament to develop and assess our prospects in competitive game situations. We have amazing fans in the Okanagan and look forward to sharing an NHL experience with them while celebrating the rich hockey history of Penticton.” Tournament ticket packages include six games for $60. This allevent package offers best value to fans with savings of 30 per cent until Aug.15. A new offering this year are two VIP ticket packages for $85 and $180, respectively, plus applicable fees. Jakubeit noted that deal is aggressively priced to get packages out the door. “Especially considering the calibre of hockey that is coming here,” he said. “The more tickets we sell early the more buzz there is. We want the building full. Jakubeit also said the Young Stars Classic will continue a

hockey festival theme, making it a “must attend” event while also providing signiﬁcant economic impact and exposure for the community and facilities. This year’s festivities include a Canucks Town Hall Breakfast, Minor Hockey Day, which will include a Party on the Plaza event with games, food, music and entertainment and a skills and development camps for minor hockey players. While not part of the Classic, a ticket to the Penticton Vees’ exhibition game will be included in tournament packages. Jakubeit said it’s an opportunity to showcase those players and a way to involve the Vees, who in previous years have been in Chilliwack at the same time for the Bauer BCHL Showcase. “We want to be partners to them, they give up their dressing room for the Canucks to use,” said Jakubeit. “It’s sort of a give back.”

Boonstock organizers say they are not treated fairly Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

Organizers for the Boonstock Music and Arts Festival said they are being unfairly measured by government authorities. “Enormously. They have held us to things that you just wouldn’t do with anybody else. Why?” said festival operations director Barb Haynes. While the Penticton Peach Festival, Penticton Pacific Northwest Elvis Festival and Peach City Beach Cruise have been running their events for years, with seemingly not as many hurdles, Haynes said she doesn’t think it is the fact those events have a long history with the city. “It doesn’t matter. Times have changed, things are different. No, I don’t think (the history) is that at all,” said Haynes. “Unfairly treated? Yes, I believe there is a different set of rules for Boonstock than there is for any other festival or event here in our region or community, absolutely.” The Penticton and Wine Country Chamber of Commerce announced in May they are standing

behind Boonstock because they believe it will generate a big economic impact for Penticton, with 8,500 people expected to attend the Aug. 1 to 3 event held on private locatee lands on the Penticton Indian Reserve. The board also stood by the Boonstock organizers’ prepara-

tion for the event. In an letter to the Western News editor, president of the chamber, Campbell Watt, said Boonstock is being “forced” to go above and beyond in their preparations than similar festivals in Pemberton and Squamish. “This festival is facing demands

to meet an unheard of level of preparation, not seen by festivals in other jurisdictions around British Columbia,” he said. He said the average amount of RCMP officers required at a festival or event is one per 500 attendees, Boonstock is being “forced” to have one officer per 200 attendees. Boonstock organizers confirmed on Thursday they have 40 RCMP officers they are hiring for the event. “It is unfortunate that one event is subjected to a significantly higher standard, particularly when they are located on our neighbouring community,” said Campbell. Having attended a recent update from Boonstock to the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen protective services committee, Watt said he can attest to the significant planning Boonstock organizers have completed. “It is time to do away with shortsighted thinking and sabotage, and act as a community with vision in partnership with our First Nations neighbours,” said Campbell. In his email, Campbell said the community must recognize the investment that has gone into creating festival grounds for the area and

that a corporate citizen provided it without “burdening taxpayers to build it.” “Let’s pull our heads out of the sand, be thankful for this economic opportunity, act as united communities and do what we can to support business,” said Watt. The Boonstock Entertainment and Arts Society has applied for their liquor licence but haven’t heard back as to what the results are yet. Haynes said organizers are now down to the “nitty gritty” details of completing all their safety plans. In a document provided to the Penticton Western News, and confirmed by the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch as a preliminary draft, there appeared to be a number of safety concerns left for Boonstock to address. A spokesperson for the branch said since that document was written, the festival’s plan has evolved substantially and subsequent meetings have been held with event organizers. “The LCLB will need to see evidence of a robust safety plan with RCMP approval before granting a liquor licence,” the spokesperson added.

Uncertain summer ahead for teachers walking away from picket lines Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Teacher Ian BUTTers walks a picket line Wednesday outside Penticton secondary school. he and other educators face an uncertain summer as the strike drags on.

Joe Fries/Western news

Had this been a normal school year, teacher Ian Butters would have spent Wednesday in meetings, finalizing student marks and preparing for the fall session. Instead, he spent the afternoon walking the picket line in front of Penticton Secondary School, where he worked until two weeks ago as an English 12 teacher. With the school year set to officially draw to a close Friday, teachers are filled with trepidation about what comes next. “It sucks. I really don’t like it,” said Butters, who’s been an edu-

cator for 23 years. Teachers lost 10 per cent of their salary when job action commenced in April, then all of it when strikes began in May. Butters’ wife, Pam, is still on the job as an administrator for the school district, but he said his loss of income will still be felt at home. “We’re not going to be going on any trips. We’ll be sitting at home and some of the jobs we were planning to do around the house will be put back,” he said. Leslea Woodward, president of the Okanagan Skaha Teachers’ Union, said that’s the reality faced by all teachers as they settle in for a

dispute that could drag on through summer. “If there’s no agreement by June 30, then we’re still on strike, so it looks like we’ll be picking up the picket lines in September if there’s no agreement being made, but we are pushing for a mediator,” she said. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, which bargains on behalf of the government, were scheduled to resume negotiations Thursday. Woodward hopes public support remains with teachers, who have been without a contract since June 2013. “I think it’s important for the public to know

this is about public education. It’s about a big picture here. It’s not just about teachers’ wages and what we want,” she said. But, “Yes, there’s money involved because in order to repair a damaged system that’s been raped, you need to put money back into it.” Meanwhile, the board of the Okanagan Skaha School District at a special meeting Thursday agreed to send a letter to the BCTF and BCPSEA imploring both sides to make a deal. “The worst-case scenario is we start the new school year … still under this present situation, and we are just urging them to get on with

it and get a settlement,” said chairman Bruce Johnson. School trustees, he added, have “received some emails from citizens and teachers just urging the board to step up and be heard publicly,” and feel the time is right to join with colleagues elsewhere to help add a sense of urgency to negotiations. “We’re one of 60 districts, and we just want to make sure we do our part,” Johnson said. The board also heard that summer school programs have been cancelled as a result of the strike, which will affect an estimated 125 students in Okanagan Skaha.

Gables owner weighs options Joe Fries

Western News Staff

Been around the block. And back. 16 times.

A spokesman for the owner of the Three Gables Motel says there’s a chance the building may reopen, despite its former occupants being evacuated by an order of the B.C. Fire Commissioner. “It’s an old building and spending money on this building is not realistic, but now we might have to do it,” said Raj Singh. “We’re just assessing how to clean it up right. If anything’s going to be done, it’s going to be done on a big scale.” People living in 10 long-term rental units above the Three Gables liquor store were ordered out last Friday as a result of an evacuation order that was issued due to concerns about fire safety, in particular a lack of fire-rated doors on all the rooms. Singh said some of the doors had been kicked in by tenants, which is why some entries were boarded over with plywood when fire inspectors arrived. “Everything was safe up there, except for however these people lived inside their rooms, which we have no right to enter,” he said. The owner, he explained, was holding off on installing new doors while negotiating the sale of the Three Gables, but the deal fell through. Then, when

an alarm was pulled June 13 and damage to the system discovered by the fire department, a decision was made to empty out the building. “It was a joint effort of us and the fire department,” Singh said. Relocation of displaced residents was co-ordinated by the South Okanagan Similkameen Brain Injury Society, which runs a homeless outreach program. Executive director Linda Sankey said 13 of 17 former Three Gables tenants had new homes in Penticton as of Wednesday. Those still in need of a place have been staying at Cheers the Church, which reactivated its emergency shelter for the Three Gables group only. Sankey said their outlook has improved. “The mood initially the first few days was, I think, pretty much shock,” she said. “But with the support and with having a place to be and with help from the outreach worker, the mood has been good.” The liquor store on the ground floor of the Three Gables is still open for business. The owner tried in 2012 to transfer the liquor licence to a new location, in part because the building was no longer cost effective and needed to be torn down, according to an application to the B.C. Liquor Control and Licensing Branch, which later denied the request.

A new link between Penticton and Kelowna was the top priority for people surveyed by B.C. Transit during creation of its new long-term plan for the region. “The idea with the inter-regional system would be to deliver people to West Kelowna, where they would transfer to the rapid bus that is currently being developed for Kelowna,” planner Adriana McMullen last week told the board of the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen. “We already have a very robust system in Kelowna. We prefer not to duplicate services, so it makes sense to have a comfortable, easy transfer … at that West Kelowna transfer point.” Creating that new service was the most common wish cited by a quarter of the approximately 1,100 people with whom B.C.

Transit connected during public consultations over the past year. Other priorities identified included better connections between Penticton and outlying communities, improved accessibility for people with mobility challenges, and increased local service. A draft version of the long-term plan contains 58 recommendations that include “quick wins” like beginning planned service between Okanagan Falls and Penticton, and introducing more local routes in Summerland in five to 15 years. “I’m a bit devastated,” said Summerland Mayor Janice Perrino, who’s also an RDOS director. “I don’t want to wait five to 15 years, so that sort of threw me.” McMullen cautioned, however, that the plan “is still a draft, and depending on what we hear from members of the communities, that will help refine this.”

More public engagement is planned this summer, before a finalized plan is presented to the RDOS and other local governments, which partially fund service, for final approval. Judy Sentes, a Penticton city councillor and RDOS director, suggested B.C. Transit also look at improving bus configurations. “There’s not enough space for those that are coming on with strollers, with walkers, wheelchairs, what have you,” she said, adding riders have suggested removing more conventional seats and increasing the area available for those with mobility aids. The board also heard the new five-times-daily service along Eastside Road between Okanagan Falls and Penticton is scheduled to commence in January 2015, provided area taxpayers OK funding through the alternate approval process.

Garden planting seeds of health for PIB so if you get lucky, you only spend a dollar.” Hansen explains that bidders can buy tickets for $1, which they then drop in the box for the item they hope to win. “At the end, we will pick up the items one at a time, somebody will do the swirl and the Vanna White thing to pull out a ticket, and that person gets the prize,” said Hansen. The bidding gets underway at 5 p.m., as does dinner, with Indian tacos, bannock, and other goodies for sale. That continues until 6 p.m. and then Hansen said they will start going through the auction prizes and determining the winners. She expects that will probably take until 8 p.m. The goal of the gardens and the planned community outreach centre, Kruger explained, is to increase food sustainability for the PIB, so that children, elders and the community as a whole could come and get fresh produce. Education is part of the work being done at the community garden. Kruger said they have just snagged a facilitator to deliver classes on canning food, and they

It’s been six years since the Penticton Indian Band first tried developing a community garden, but the operation took off in 2009 and has been a growing concern ever since. Last year, some 14,000 pounds of food were produced from the gardens, with the majority distributed to band members through a variety of methods and programs, including infant development and diabetes prevention. Hundreds of pounds of produce were also donated to the Salvation Army Food Bank, said Shy-Anne Kruger, the community garden coordinator. But the main focus, she explained, is to provide healthy food for band members. “It is a great way to make sure that people are eating healthy. Diabetes and obesity are big issues in the community,” added Ann Hansen, one of the gardeners. “We are hoping it keeps the community healthy and it is a great way to make sure if they need fresh vegetables, it is there.” Kruger notes they have lots of good, fertile land to work with and expand into. In the future, she’d like to add fruit trees and berry bushes to the mix, and turn the community garden into a food security hub for the PIB. But for now, the focus is on creating a community garden outreach centre facing Green Mountain Road. “We are hoping that people come in and it will be a good place to talk about the food they are putting into their bodies,” said Hansen. “It is basically going to have all the produce and vegetables that we grow in the garden, all prepped up and ready for people.” To raise funds for this latest project, they are organizing a loonie auction on July 11 in the PIB band hall off Green Mountain Road. “We have about $400 of donated products from businesses downtown. The support has been really great there,” said Hansen, adding they also have art items to auction,

ited space. The boxes are going to have themes, so one might contain most of the things needed for preparing spaghetti: tomatoes, onions, peppers,

garlic and the like. She points out something as simple as a few 50 cent tomato seedlings can easily produce $50 of food by harvest time.

Outsmarting bears is easy Bears are just doing what comes naturally when they wander out of the woods and into a residential neighbourhood. The entire region is their native habitat and they don’t worry about town limits signs. So when they are in a yard and come across garbage cans, they are going to do what comes naturally — chow down. Bears are always hungry, especially in the spring as they come out of hibernation, and in the fall when they are building up fat levels for hibernation. It doesn’t take long for a bear to realize that garbage is an easy source of food. And it is that addiction that brings bears into potential conﬂict with the human residents of those neighbourhoods. Ultimately, it is the bears who lose because they are destroyed. But given that bears act purely on instinct, the only solution is for Okanagan residents to change their habits. Keep your garbage can in a secure location, and while you are at it, pull down the bird feeders because the birds don’t need the food in the summer and the seed draws bears. Clean up fruit as it begins to ripen and monitor your compost. It’s been suggested several times that bears creating a possible conﬂict be trapped and relocated to the woods. However, biologists will tell you that once the animal is addicted to garbage, they will walk for several kilometres to the nearest neighbourhood so they can indulge. Eating garbage is ultimately a death sentence for bears. PENTICTON WESTERN With bear complaints rising in some areas, now is the time for residents to become more aware of their natural surroundings and how to live with their four-legged neighbours. - Black Press

Iraq: Time for a tranquilizer and clarity It’s time for everybody in Iraq to take a tranquilizer. The media will go on fizzing with apocalyptic speculations for a week or so, because that kind of talk always sells, but the war of movement is over. It never was much of a war: a third of Iraq was captured by ISIS and various Sunni militias in one week at a cost that probably didn’t exceed a thousand lives (plus however many were murdered by ISIS afterwards). The Islamist radicals have now reached approximately the limits of the territory in Iraq that has a Sunni Arab majority, and they’d be mad to throw away all their gains by trying to conquer Baghdad. There are lots of young men fighting for the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (the Levant) who would love to be martyred in such an attack, but ISIS is run by grown-ups. They know that they can’t go any farther without running out of the popular support that let a few thousand fighters sweep through the Sunni lands so easily. Baghdad is defended

by Shia militias that already number in the tens of thousands and will probably soon pass the hundred thousand mark. Most of them know far less about fighting than the ISIS veterans, but they are just as keen on martyrdom and they would outnumber the ISIS fighters 20-to-one, maybe 50-to-one. Two or three days of street fighting in the huge, now mostly Shia city of Baghdad and ISIS would have no more troops. So ISIS has advanced about as far as it is going to go. And, by the way, so has the Kurdistan Regional Government. The KRG’s Peshmerga troops now control not only the disputed oil city of Kirkuk but almost 100 per cent of traditionally Kurdish territory in Iraq, compared to only about 70 percent two weeks ago. During most of that time the Peshmerga and ISIS observed a de facto ceasefire while they concentrated on the territory that really mattered to them. There have been some exchanges of fire between ISIS and

Gwynne Dyer

Dyer Straits Peshmerga in the past few days along the illdeﬁned border between their new holdings, but nothing very serious. In ideological terms, ISIS would like to incorporate Kurdistan into its ever-expanding Islamic caliphate, which would erase all borders within the (Sunni) Muslim world, but in practical terms it knows that it cannot do that, at least for the moment. In ideological terms, ISIS would also like to convert or exterminate all the Shias in the world, starting with the 20 million in Iraq, but in practical terms it cannot do that either. So the borders of the three successors to the current state of Iraq, Kurdish, Shia Arab and Sunni Arab, have already been drawn, with the important

addition that the Sunni Arab successor extends across the old international frontier to include eastern Syria as well. These changes will not be reversed: the Shia-majority rump of the former Iraqi state that extends from Baghdad to Basra does not have the strength to restore the old centralised Iraq. Is this really such a disaster? Not for the Kurds, obviously, and not really for the Shia Arabs either: they still have all of their own territory (i.e. Shia-majority territory) and most of the oil. Nor will the Baghdad government which still rules that territory need U.S. air power to save it. (U.S. President Obama has probably just been stalling until that became clear). The problematic bit is the Sunni Arabs of Iraq. They are clearly delighted to have shaken off the corrupt and oppressive sectarian rule of President Nuri alMaliki, but for the near future at least they will have to contend with the unappetising prospect of being ruled instead

by the incorruptible but brutally intolerant leaders of ISIS. It should be borne in mind, however, that even now the great majority of the armed men who have created this new Sunni proto-state are not ISIS fanatics. Most of them are either tribal militiamen or former members of the Baathist-era army that was dissolved by the invaders after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. They belong to organizations that have real political power, and they vastly outnumber the ISIS fanatics. Those same organizations broke the hold of “Al Qaeda in Iraq,” the ancestor to ISIS, in western Iraq in 2007-09, and it’s entirely possible that in a few year’s time they will end up doing it again to ISIS. But the borders of the new Sunni Arab state, stretching from western and northern Iraq into eastern Syria, may survive. There’s no particular harm in that.

What about our right to vote? It seems every time the government really wants something we don’t get to have a voice. B.C. has some of the last pristine, natural areas left in the world. The west coast of B.C. is unique on earth. Every year thousands of people come here to observe the impressive natural beauty of our amazing province. They say the pipeline will be safe. Right! So therefore no tanker is unsinkable and no pipeline is unbreakable, dream on. We all know the disastrous effects would be irreparable. The unique features of the northwest coastline would make an oil spill cleanup extremely difficult.

Farm owners inhumane

Is there any creature more docile than a cow? It certainly must be a close runner-up. Given that view of bovine behavior, what would entice anyone to commit and/or allow anyone to commit such unspeakable atrocities upon creatures that do nothing to you but make you money? Shame on the Chilliwack farmers involved. You claim that you are devastated about what has happened. What happened is you got caught. Don’t you dare hide behind the lie that you didn’t know. As an employer you are responsible for the conduct and actions of your employees. As an owner you are responsible for the safety and the protection of the creatures in your care. Is the only thing that you understand dollar signs? You have $1.25 million of business a year. Maybe the only thing you understand is cash flow. If that is the case, maybe the Canadian public should all stop buying Dairyland products and stop your cash flow. My family and friends and anyone I can share this with will never buy your product again. Sincerely disgusted, Walter H. Morgan Merville

Cost of living should be fine for teachers

I have settled for a 0.9 per cent raise for my Canada pension for 2014. I actually had no choice, but do expect to hear any day now about my request to the government for a $5,000 signing bonus. B.C. teachers are also trying to settle a contract dispute. They do deserve a raise and can happily

I really hope we can find a way to break free from our addiction to oil and I use it too just like you. The profit we will gain from this project is short term and small in comparison to the long-term effect of the damage to our environment and the precious natural resources that will

have the 0.9 per cent that I also got. If they want to do a longer term contract, then 0.9 per cent x 5 = 4.5 per cent over five years. They can also have a $5,000 signing bonus as soon as I get mine. Class sizes, however, can’t be left up to the teachers’ union. Mathematically, smaller class sizes mean more teachers which eventually means more money for the union. The class sizes should be determined by reconciliation. John McLeod Okanagan Falls

Calling all youth

It was a no-brainer to think that yes-man Prime Minister Stephen Harper would reject the Enbridge Northern Gateway application. After all, when has this guy and his squad of rejects ever been right? Some time ago I asked MP Dan Albas if he was for or against this future Enbridge nightmare and he chose not to give his opinion which told me his answer would be yes. My suggestion is that all Canadian youth unite and join the growing force opposed to this future tragedy that will occur when — not if. Then there is the Christy Clark fantasy of giving B.C. a good fracking in the hunt for LNG which unfortunately is just another future nightmare that may implode as the planet tells them to go frack themselves. The dumber than dumb that live in ivory towers only see the world in dollars and don’t care if the devastation of forests, lakes, rivers, streams, wildlife and the sea lead to the end of mankind after they have gone. All young Canadians in every

province please get it together before it’s too late as the future of human life and a planet that provides for all creatures depends on you. Tom Isherwood Olalla

Oil could cause crash

Everyone remembers the crash of 2008, the sub-prime mortgage fiasco and the bailouts to the big banks. But what doesn’t receive any attention is the pin that popped the bubble. High oil prices. In 2008 oil climbed to above $140 a barrel the cost was passed on down the supply chain, people stopped buying things and the global economy teetered on brink of collapse. Fast forward to the situation in Iraq. As I write this ISIS, an Iraq militant group, is attacking Iraq’s largest oil refinery. There are now grumblings in the financial and military sectors of the possible return to historic high oil prices, at or beyond $140 a barrel. If oil does climb that high again and is sustained at that price point, we may be looking at another economic crisis. Cody Young Penticton

On Behalf of the 2014 Okanagan International Children’s Festival board of directors, staff, and thousands of very excited and appreciative children we would like to thank local businesses and community groups for their generous donations and support of this years children’s festival.

be wiped out in the process. We as a country should invest heavily in renewable energy resources to protect the environment and the resources we have left. This can also create jobs and stability to our economy not just a pipeline. I really hope we can find a way to break free from our addiction to oil, and I use it too, just like you. The Northern Gateway Pipeline is not going to make up for the damage it will cause, just putting it in alone is going to destroy beautiful natural areas that are irreplaceable and that is before an oil spill. There has to be another way! I really hope the government will reconsider. Annemarie Krenger Penticton

nity we would not be able to bring the quality entertainment and educational activities to the children of the South Okanagan and beyond. Key support from the Canadian Heritage Arts Council, the Province of British Columbia, Prospera, Telus, RDOS, and the City of Penticton was integral to the sustainability of the festival. We would also like to thank all in our community who joined us and supported the 2014 festival. A special thank you to the hundreds of volunteers co-ordinated by Judith Bowes who worked tirelessly to ensure our festival ran smoothly. Thank you to the many teachers, administrators and parents that appreciated the festival’s unique range of educational, entertaining and engaging experiences that the children and parents were able to participate in. We are already working on next year’s festival and we look forward to continuing on bringing world class performing arts to the Southern Interior in 2015. Barb Haynes Executive Director

Boonstock ignorance

(re: Boonstock causes concern on council, Western News, June 25) I’m intrigued as to the specific qualifications Ms. Haynes thinks she has to say categorically that “there’s lots and lots of wildlife out here.” There’s nothing like a display of profound ignorance such as this to indicate where at least part of the problem lies. Knowing little about the land and its wild inhabitants, she very likely was ignorant about the destruction of wildlife habitat caused by the land clearing for Boonstock. If she has read Laure Neish’s let-

ter and mine on what was destroyed, however, she might at least have the honesty and humility to admit that perhaps an error was made, whether by her or others. As to her question about the validity of the data, Laure Neish, a trained nature interpreter of many years standing and a highly qualified nature photographer, just happens to have the qualifications on that score, as opposed to Ms. Haynes.

Woman alleges Bobbitt attacked her in 2007 Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

A former Penticton woman who alleges she was attacked by David Bobbitt said she was scared for her life. The woman, whose name is protected under court order, said Bobbitt jumped on her and pinned her down using his body weight, before ripping off her clothes and forcing himself inside her. “I was helpless to move,” she testified before the court on Wednesday via closed circuit television from a separate room in the Penticton courthouse. The woman alleges the incident happened in 2007 in a trailer owned by Bobbitt on Yorkton Avenue. Bobbitt was never charged. This would have been four years before before he attacked a then 22-year-old Penticton woman in the second-hand store he ran on Ellis Street. Bobbitt has plead guilty to those charges and is before the courts in a sentencing and dangerous offender hearing. As a Crown witness, the testimony of the woman in the 2007 alleged attack is being heard by Justice Peter Rogers to show a pattern of behaviour. The woman in the 2007 attack said Bobbitt covered her mouth to prevent her from screaming and strangled her while raping her for about 45 minutes. “It was to the point I could not breathe, I could not breathe,” she ers h c said. a e or tincident During fthe she alleges Bobbitt stopped about four times but did not get off of her and didn’t say much. “He was saying ‘You want this. You deserve this,’” the woman testified. “At one point he took his hand off my mouth, I said, ‘David you are disgusting and get off of me, please get off of me,’” she alleged. Bobbitt eventually did move

away from her when her two dogs, that were also in the trailer, began whining. She said she begged Bobbitt to let her take them out. She said she watched closely as Bobbitt pulled his pants back on and grabbed her clothes. “I knew I had only an instant to get away from that man,” she said. The woman said she grabbed her dogs by the leash and left the trailer, “speed walking” out of the campground towards Anthony’s Pub where she saw a neighbouring corner store open. She said Bobbitt followed her and by the time she reached the till in the store he was standing behind her so she mouthed to call 911 and then asked aloud to call a cab for her. As customers filtered into the store, she alleged Bobbitt went to the parking lot and she could hear him “ranting” that she better not call the police, that her dogs were going to get taken away and he would put her in a mental hospital. She said eventually Bobbitt ran away in the direction of his trailer.

The woman admitted she did not go to the RCMP right away and decided to spend the night at a friend’s house. She said she was scared, traumatized, didn’t know what to do with her dogs and thought it would be safer for her to stay there the night. “I was basically in a fullfledged panic attack and I felt safe there,” she explained. The following morning she caught a ride with her friend to Oliver where she attended the hospital with bruising around her neck, face and body. She also had scratches on her forehead. From there she was escorted by RCMP to the Penticton detachment, where they took pictures of her injuries, then to the Kelowna hospital. The sentencing and dangerous offender hearing is scheduled to continue until July 8, with a continuation in September. The woman who was assaulted by Bobbitt in 2011 is expected to testify late next week. A third woman who is an alleged victim of Bobbitt’s is also expected to testify.

Maggie grads praised for respect from GRADS Pg. 1 “With Twitter and everything, you know every single social circle and everything that’s going on. And every mistake is on there as well, so you can’t really get away,” Hack said. “It’s definitely made it harder.” Gannon agrees. “When my parents grew up, physical bullying was what was bullying. Now it’s cyber and everything like that, so you kind of have to watch what you say online because it sticks.

It doesn’t go away,” he said, adding, however, that technology also has an upside. “Nowadays, we have Google in our pockets. We know everything. When there is an answer to be found, we don’t go to the library and look up books anymore, we Google it.” The valedictorians looked inward, though, as they drafted the commencement speech they were set to deliver to 150 classmates and their guests on Thursday night at the Penticton

Trade and Convention Centre. “The theme is family, so we just kind of tied that in with grades and birth order and everything,” Hack said of their talk. “With our school at Maggie, we find that being a student smaller body you know a lot more people and everyone connects a lot better. Teacher-student relationships are a lot more content, almost, so family is almost the perfect theme, we thought,” Gannon added.

Principal Terry Grady said the covaledictorians are good representatives of the school’s class of 2014. “Their care for and involvement in school and grad functions this year and throughout their years at Princess Margaret has earned them credibility and respect amongst their peers,” Grady said via email. The valedictorians will conclude their duties following a parade and dry grad activities Friday.

Making a difference

Penticto n is a better p lace

Kelsey named volunteer of the year Steve Kidd Western News Staff

It’s a long list of activities that led to Penticton’s Lynn Kelsey being honoured earlier this month with a Volunteer of the Year Award for the Interior Region of the Canadian Diabetes Association. Kelsey has volunteered for CDA for close to 15 years, providing diabetes education to public, corporate, and educational institutions. “I will go speak to anyone who wants

to listen to me,” said Kelsey. One of the programs Kelsey teaches is Diabetes for Healthcare Professionals, and earlier this year, she worked with Sprott Shaw College to make the program part of the core curriculum for their health care students. “I did a train-thetrainer webinar for their health care instructors, so they now deliver that program in all of their campuses,” she said. And in May, Kelsey helped organize the an-

nual residential fundraising campaign for the CDA. “I was the area leader for the South Okanagan, which meant I went from Summerland to Grand Forks,” said Kelsey, explaining how she worked with about 300 volunteers to canvass the large area. “My love of doing it is that if I can make a difference in one life, it is worth it,” said Kelsey, who saw early on in her volunteer career how a small change can spread.

LYNN KELSEY has earned recognition for her work with the Canadian Diabetes Association.

She was teaching in the Prince George area at the time, delivering a

one-hour basic diabetes education course, covering basic questions

like what is diabetes, and how to live with it. One student, decided he needed to be tested after realizing how many diabetes risk factors he showed: over 40, First Nations descent, overweight and both his brothers had diabetes. He found out he had Type 2 Diabetes, but because of that onehour workshop, he told her, he wasn’t as scared as he might have been. “He made a huge change and got more exercise, lost weight,

got his blood sugar down to a healthy level,” said Kelsey. His two brothers, already showing signs of complications, decided to improve their lifestyles as well. “One of them was elected chief, and he brought changes to the whole band,” said Kelsey. “One one-hour information session, made an impact in a community. “I had been teaching for them for about seven years when I was diagnosed myself,” said Kelsey. “Then it had more of a personal feel to it. I continued to teach in the communities.” Diabetes advocacy is far from Kelsey’s only interest. She has volunteered with political campaigns, helped with the Christmas shoebox campaign, volunteers through her church, works with patients with chronic conditions, helps out at South Okanagan Women in Need (where she also works full-time as a support worker) and even found time to run for city council herself. “Because I work for SOWINS, I also do a lot of work for them, as the opportunities come up,” she said. “I am very passionate about women’s issues.” Passion is a key factor driving Kelsey to volunteer in so many ways. Being a well-rounded volunteer, she said, comes from trying to be a well-rounded person and not being so focused on any one thing she doesn’t see needs in other places. “If you want something done, ask a busy person,” joked Kelsey. “When I am passionate about something, it is not a chore to give that time.” Kelsey doesn’t expect retirement to slow down her volunteer efforts. “It will just give me more time to give back,” she said. “We never know what one thing we have done for somebody that has changed a life.”

FIRST ANNUAL

City celebrates Canada Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

Canada Day is going to be bigger and better than ever in Penticton. “We are mixing things up a bit this year for a very full and fun day,” said Kerri Milton, executive director of the Downtown Penticton Association. “We have lots of multicultural music and entertainment, which was very on purpose. Canada is such a multicultural nation we wanted acts that represent all kinds of nationalities this year.” Also new for the holiday celebration on July 1 at Gyro Park will be skateboard demonstrations from Freeride and the Penticton Pistoleras roller derby team. Children’s activities, such as an obstacle course, bungee basketball and climbing walls, will be set up in the 100-block of Main Street which will be closed down to traffic for the day. All of the children’s activities are by donation with the money raised going to non-profit organizations. Milton said besides the food vendors and public market they also will have, for the first time, a family dining area. This will include Cue’s, Brodo and Murray’s Pizza, and with the new liquor laws in place adults will be able to enjoy a glass of wine or have a beer. The entertainment schedule starts at 9 a.m. until the last performance starting at 8 p.m. with the band Flashback on the stage. The opening ceremonies will take place at noon with the singing of O Canada and free birthday

cake handed out. Quota International of Penticton will be hosting their annual Canada Day fundraiser at Gyro Park from 8 a.m. to noon serving up pancakes, sausages and drinks. Then from 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. they will have a barbecue concession open. All proceeds go to support Quota community projects and the South Okanagan Women In Need Society. The Penticton Lakeside Resort, which has taken the lead on getting the fireworks show together for years, said it expects to reach its goal of fundraising $15,000 to provide a great show on Canada Day. “It’s not Canada Day without fireworks. We owe a huge thanks to those who donated, both individuals and businesses,” said Brannigan Boyd, director of regional sales and marketing, RPB Hotels. “The fireworks are strictly funded by the community and it has been great that people have stepped forward to do that. We do receive a little funding from the government but it is a minimal amount.” Prime seating to watch the fireworks, from one of the three restaurants at the Lakeside, and to see Joe’s Garage perform from a houseboat, usually fill up fast. Boyd said people start streaming in to the restaurants just prior to 5 p.m. The fireworks take place at 10:30 p.m. and Okanagan Lake Park and the dog park will not be open to the public as that is where the fireworks will be set off from.

Western News Staff

July 5 will be the 60th anniversary of Elvis Presley’s first rock and roll recording, and this weekend fans of The King will get an early start to the celebration of his music. The 13th annual Penticton Pacific Northwest Elvis Festival will be one of the largest competitions the city has hosted yet. “There is no slowing down for us,” said festival chairman Damon Bremner. “We have a lot of pros this year, probably the most we have ever had and some big names coming too. It is going to be incredible.” Elvis tribute artists, or ETA’s as they are commonly known at the festivals,

will grace the stage on Saturday vying for a chance to get to the finals on Sunday which take place at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre at 2 p.m. The winner in the professional category on Sunday gains entry to the Ultimate Elvis Competition, held annually in Memphis during Elvis week in August. After the competition is over the festival is hosting an after party at the Penticton Lakeside Resort ballroom. Doors open at 5 p.m. Tickets are $20 and includes a burger and beer or wine. “That is one of the most fun events. Everyone takes their wigs off and lets their hair down. We changed locations this year so we have enough room for 500 to 600 people. See ELVIS Pg. 16

City all shook up for Elvis tribute artists From ELVIS Pg. 15 “Tickets are priced reasonably considering you get fed and it is such a fun night hanging

out with everyone,” said Bremner. The festival includes opening ceremonies on Friday with artists tak-

ing the stage at 6 p.m. On Saturday, the competition begins at 9 a.m. and then in the evening, at the Penticton Trade

and Convention Centre, headliner Bill Cherry will entertain the crowd focusing on Elvis’ concert years.

Spectacular Scooter Event

Cherry was named one of the Top 10 Elvis tribute artists in the world by Time Magazine, won the 2009 Ultimate Elvis Competition and has a number of other awards. Sunday morning is reserved for the Elvis Gospel Show in Okanagan Lake Park, which will include a special guest appearance. “Adam Fitzpatrick, who won last year’s festival in the professional category, will be coming to perform and I understand he is doing a full set, which is great because he is a local boy,” said Bremner. Fitzpatrick, who originally is from Summerland, was first runner-up at the Ultimate Elvis Competion in Memphis last year. In 2012 he gained entry to the competition and finished 15th overall. He will be heading to Blackpool, England, July 4 to 6 to try and qualify for the Ultimate contest again. “My schedule is very tight so I can really only enter two to three (quali-

fiers) a year,” said Fitzpatrick, pointing out he heads to Vegas for another qualifier one day after he returns from England. “Just in case, I’m also going to Collingwood, Ont., where they hold the biggest Elvis festival in the world.” Whether he wins a berth in the Ultimate Elvis or not Fitzpatrick has booked a show in the Memphis Hotel during the week of the competition. The Penticton festival will attract people from all over western Canada, the U.S. and beyond. Bremner said the attraction to the festival keeps growing. “If anything it is going to get bigger. Next year is going to blow everyone’s socks off and then for our 15th anniversary we have some big plans for that too. Collingwood is the biggest festival in North America and we want to be a close second,” said Bremner. “We want to put Penticton on the map for ETAs.” Competing this year

are Ben Klein, Randy Klein, Christopher Blaine, Roger Anderson, Rick Grinnell, Rob Knight, Scott Coon, Bret Wiggans, Dave Greene, Darrell Douglas, Burle Craven, Tyler Cody, Cliff Moody, Corney Rempel, Dino Macrif, Oliver Steinkoof, Jeff Bodner, Rick Johnsen, Kevin Mills and Paul Rodriguez. Professional Ben Klein finished in second place last year, but has previously won the festival in 2005 and 2008. Rempel, also in the professional category, finished third last year and has placed in the top three the past five years. Coon returns as last year’s winner in the nonprofessional category. Knight placed second in the non-professional category at last year’s festival. Tickets for all the events, including Bill Cherry, are available in person at the South Okanagan Events Centre box office or online at www.ValleyFirstTix.com.

IS YOUR SKIN READY FOR SUMMER? The beautiful weather is here and people are heading outside, exposing their skin to damaging UV rays. Keep your outdoor activities safe by properly prepping your skin with sunscreen as excessive exposure can result in premature skin aging, actinic keratoses and, in the most severe cases, skin cancers. I recommend Avene sunscreens as they provide great protection with minimal ingredients, antiradical protection from Vitamin E and they soothe and calm the skin through the presence of Avene thermal water. Avene’s “orange line” is for great for sensitive skin as it’s hypoallergenic and contains only 2 chemical filters (most brands contain 4 or 5) and an organic screen. It provides very broad UVB and UVA protection. It must

#114 - 300 RIVERSIDE DRIVE 250-493-5533

be applied 15 - 30 minutes prior to sun exposure be reapplied every 2 hours and/or after swimming, towel drying and heavy sweating. The “white line” of Avene sunscreens is for intolerant skin that cannot tolerate any chemicals. It uses 100% mineral protection and lasts up to six hours without reapplication (assuming you have not been in the water). You do not need to wait between applying and heading out into the sun. You may be excited to get out into the sun but first take some time to slap on some skin protection. Avene offers options for very sensitive skin which also provide fringe benefits. We also carry a variety of other brands to suit your fancy. Look for my article next week where I will review more sun protection tips.

Desert alive with music Kristi Patton

Western News Staff

The South Okanagan desert is about to come alive with the sound of music this weekend. Desert Live Music Festival, June 27 to July 1, features over 20 Canadian bands performing in Gyro Beach in Osoyoos. And, the best part is it is all free. Reggae, funk, soul, blues, rock and roll and more all will be complementing the hot weather over the long weekend. “It’s the perfect location for it because of the backdrop,” said Mike Campol, chair of the music festival committee. “To pull a concert off like this with Gyro Beach in the backdrop, vineyards, orchards, mountains and beautiful lakes, I don’t think you can beat it.” Campol, who was a live music venue owner when he lived in Ontario, relocated to Osoyoos three years ago and said he, “quickly decided I never wanted to go back.” A fan of multiple genres of music, he wanted to help establish a festival that was family friendly. “The goal of the festival is to create an exceptional experience for visitors and local residents,” said Campol. “We want to create a space where you can relax with your friends or family, have a beer and allow the music to breathe new life through Canada’s only desert.” Campol said another thing of importance was to feature all-Canadian acts. “We want 100 per cent Canadian content to showcase not only Canada’s only desert but all the talent we have in this country.

REGGAE-ROCKERS Redeye Empire are performing at the Desert Live music festival in Osoyoos on June 30.

Having purely Canadian bands also opens up potential for funding down the road,” he said. Headliners for the ﬁve-day free festival include West Coast reggae-rockers Redeye Empire, indie-rockers Yukon Blonde, blues-rock band No Sinner and reggae artists Tasman Jude. Also playing gigs are Penticton’s Ari Neufeld and Aidan and Mandy. From the initial Desert Live committee meeting last year, Campol has had the backing of the community. He said stakeholders have been very supportive and are excited to introduce a new tourism attraction to Osoyoos. “We have had huge interest from outside of the town and are expecting a big turnout. I think we not only will see a lot of locals coming but people from Vancouver and the Kootenays,” said

Campol. The festival also has other events tying into it, including an art exhibit in Town Square, The Beagles playing at The Sage Pub, a music and art show at JoJo’s Cafe, Crosstown Bus performing at Sprit Beach Bar and Grill, Paul Filek at Golden Chopsticks, Uno Mas at Walnut Beach resort, the Rotary Pancake Breakfast and the Cherry Fiesta Parade. Desert Live kicks off on Friday from 3 to 10 p.m. From June 28 to July 1 (Canada Day) it will run from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. “We are very supportive of this musically diverse premiere event that will lead into our fantastic July 1 celebration and our nationally recognized ﬁreworks display,” said Osoyoos Mayor Stu Wells.

Lovable characters give Jonasson life

I’m guessing publishers were beating down doors when Jonas Jonasson went shopping for someone to print and distribute his second novel, The Girl who Saved the King of Sweden. Like the downtrodden, but uncannily lucky characters in his own books, Jonasson was turned away by major publishing houses when trying to ﬁnd someone to print his ﬁrst feelgood and funny novel, The 100-Year-Old Man who Climbed out the

Window and Disappeared. A small and relatively new publishing house picked up the book, which went on to become a major international bestseller, selling more than a million copies and getting translated into 25 languages. With The Girl who Saved the King of Sweden, Jonasson offers up much of the same unique, fast-paced charm. His style is unique, not sombre like some Scandinavian literature, but deﬁnitely ﬁlled with plenty of the countries’ off-beat humour. The girl who actually saved the King of Sweden, and the hero of the book, is a classic underdog. Nombeko is young and black, and cleans latrines in Soweto during apartheid. You can’t get much more disenfranchised than that. And

yet, through a series of fast-paced and remarkable circumstances, Nombeko begins working as a housemaid for a high-profile engineer, who also happens to be the head of South Africa’s nuclear weapons program. Nombeko turns out to be a whiz with numbers, and spends more time reading from the engineer’s library than dusting. She soon knows more than her bumbling, alcoholic boss, and makes an extraordinary escape from the facility with one of the bombs and 100-pounds of antelope meat. Dodging Israeli intelligence officers, Nombeko lands in Sweden, and squats in an abandoned apartment building with, among other strange characters, a man aiming to fulfill his father’s wish to kill the King of Sweden.

All this craziness takes place in the ﬁrst few chapters with many, many more hilarious and zany twists and turns to follow, ending with the prime minister of Sweden, the King, the bomb and Nombeko crammed into the back of a potato truck. Those who loved The 100-Year-Old Man, will undoubtedly be hoping for more of the same with The Girl who Saved the King of Sweden. Although with an entirely different plot, Jonasson has delivered. While his style may begin to grow a bit old when pulled out for a second time, it’s still wonderful to spend some time with his naive yet lovable characters, who somehow always manage to be in the right place at the right time.

Help Prevent Heart Attacks with Vitamin C and Lysine Powder W. Gifford-Jones, MD

hy is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack. Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent. But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies. The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day. This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors. As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine! I turned 90 this year.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries. Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal. I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.

Opening a box of freshly pressed CDs, Penticton singersongwriter Kym Gouchie felt 15 years of struggles come to an end. “Holding that first CD I felt like my whole life was in my hands, all that hard work,” said Gouchie, who received shipment of her debut EP, Mountain of Youth, recently. “I have been working towards this my whole life, now it is all right here in this package. It is just incredible.” Although it was a rough path taking her to this goal she set, it was also a process of healing. In 2013, her niece Brittany died of an overdose, the following month Gouchie got evicted from her apartment and then the car she just finished paying off broke down a month later. “When Brittany died it absolutely shook my soul. It reached the core of my being and I was the most vulnerable I have ever been. I finally surrendered to all these bad things happening to me and then all these songs started to come out,” said Gouchie. The title track, Mountain of Youth, is written for her niece. Gouchie said she knew fate had lead her to realize her goal when she unwrapped the first CD and slid it into her car stereo. “My niece and I had this connection with butterflies ever since she was little. I would always buy her things with butterflies on them. The day after she died a butterfly ran into my vehicle and it was still alive so I grabbed it and released it. Since then I see butterflies everywhere,” explained Gouchie. “As soon as I put the CD in the player and started driving a butterfly flew right across my car in my eyes’ view.” Gouchie had been living in her niece’s bedroom since she died and said she has done a lot of deep healing being

in her home. Knowing how painful the death was for Brittany’s sister, Gouchie took the first album and slid it under her bedroom door. As she was leaving the house Gouchie said she glanced back and saw a butterfly pass by the bedroom window. “I have dealt with so many struggles these past 15 years, overcoming domestic violence, abuses as a child and have come to terms with them and learning how to forgive, heal and move on. That is what my music is to me, letting go. I feel like this album represents the journey I have been on,” said Gouchie. Gouchie took stress leave from work because life had knocked her down so hard. She began working on herself and writing songs when the opportunity to write a Canada Council Grant to help with costs for the album arose. Through the recording process, her country/traditional/folk style

evolved, taking on an eclectic and danceable form. Her sound was forged by collaborating with well-known musician, artist and teacher Thurein Myint, the owner of the Summerlandbased Ellis Avenue Analog Studio. “Kym is a very powerful singer/songwriter and tells great stories that are close to nature, her native roots, and the human heart. I’m glad we captured her voice directly onto tape. I’m very proud to have her album be the studio’s first release,” acknowledges Myint. One of the most powerful songs for Gouchie on the album is in honour of those who went through the residential schools. Not all of the songs have such heavy themes. “I wrote a song for my dad and it reflects on his humour, personality, his Elvis hair and Cadillacs. Then there is another song about northern life talking about train whistles blowing, the moon in the dark sky and

huckleberry picking which is really all about family,” said Gouchie. “I think people from all walks of life will be able to connect to the songs. Everyone has lost someone, broken up and moved away from home.” With her debut EP in hand and celebrating the release of Mountain of Youth on Saturday at Penticton’s Orchard House Theatre, Gouchie has already set her next goal. “I want a Juno. I think this could take me there,” said Gouchie. The release party is an allages event. Tickets are $20, children 12 and under are free, and are available at Classic Guitars and the Penticton Art Gallery. Each ticket-holder receives a signed copy of the album. Gouchie will also have Michelle Prystay of VIP Mobile Spa at the event to paint people’s nails purple in honour of the song about picking huckleberry’s.

The mouth is a good barometer of overall health Why would I, a dentist, talk about nutrition? Well, there is a body connected to the mouth and the health of a person’s mouth can say a lot about their body. In fact, there are more connections than most people think. Recent findings have shown that periodontal (gum) disease and cardiovascular disease are related. The commonality is the inflammatory process; inflammation of the gums could be an indicator of a more serious inflammation in the arterial walls.

Imbalanced diets, excessive consumption of fried, processed, fast foods and carbonated drinks can wreak havoc not only in the mouth, but on the rest of the body. A diet high in fats may not only cause damage to your heart but may prevent the immune system from fighting off infection in the mouth such as gum disease. Another problem with ‘modern’ diets is the epidemic rise in cavities due to phosphoric acid in pop and carbonated beverages. This dilemma isn’t avoided by drinking diet or sugar-free pop; just because they’re calorie-free doesn’t mean they’re problem-free. While milk consumption has decreased by 30 percent, pop intake has mushroomed by 80 percent in recent years, meaning that people constantly bathe their teeth in phosphoric acid. Phosphoric acid has been linked to calcium resorption, which doesn’t just affect bones in the mouth. We now see increases in osteoporosis and bone loss in teenagers and younger adults. Other nutrition-related problems include eating disorders. As the percentage of North American obesity increases, millions of others suffer from eating disorders while striving to be thin. Eating too much processed, starchy and sugary foods can lead to increased cavities, while the acid from vomiting in anorexic or bulimic people can literally dissolve the teeth. It is recommended that you increase your intake of leafy green vegetables and decrease your consumption of fried foods and simple carbohydrates, like white potatoes and sugars. Lean protein, found in fish and wild game, as well as essential fatty acids also help balance and support the immune system. Foods rich in Vitamin C help to combat gum disease.

Top jiu jitsu athletes competing at SOEC Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

The Western Canadian Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championships is coming to the South Okanagan Events Centre this Saturday. It is expected to have more than 400 participants from dozens of academies putting everything on the line. Among the competitors will be a handful of locals in Clay Davidson, Mason and Michael Poon and Dustin Frostad. Davidson is the only pro. Erik Lund, instructor at Penticton’s Goes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, said he’s excited to have this event in Penticton and the opportunity it gives his students to show what they can do. With the Poon brothers, who have their blue belts, Lund has watched them develop on and off for three years

and feels they will both perform well. “Mason is very tough and technical,” said Lund. “I think he is a real contender in his feather weight division.” Lund is also excited about Michael, who has done relatively well as a juvenile, which is considered a tough division. As for Frostad, 13, it’s his first competition and Lund said he is one to watch. “He’s a real up and comer,” said Lund, adding that Frostad embodies the sport well. “He is committed. He trains hard, loves the sport. He is very tough and technical. He works hard and never gives up.” Lund has no expectations other than wanting to see Frostad have fun. Frostad has worked with Lund for just over a year and has progressed

quickly, earning a yellow belt. “He lives at the gym,” said Lund, adding that Frostad used to come five days a week before moving to Summerland. Lund is also excited about the event and thinks the location at the SOEC is perfect and hopes to see a good crowd. He added that the sport has taken off in B.C. and expects a lot of quality jiu jitsu students. John Davies, director of the event, said there are competitors coming from Edmonton, Vancouver Island, Oregon and Idaho. It will be the largest Jiu Jitsu event in Western Canada. “It’s going to be a great event,” said Davies. Brazilian jiu-jitsu also known as The Gentle Art, is a martial art, combat sport and self-defence art, which primarily focuses on

grappling and submission. The sport became prominent in the early 1990s when Royce Gracie brought BJJ to the Ultimate Fighter Championships, more known today as UFC. BJJ is a sport that is successfully practiced by men, women and children of different ages, sizes and physical abilities. The tournament is of extreme importance for the BJJ community in Canada. Also, it will be the first time Kurt Osiander has hosted The Kurt Osiander Finisher Series, a submission only tournament, north of the U.S. border. It’s an event for brown and black belts with cash prizes to be won. Doors open at 8 a.m. with matches scheduled throughout the day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.. Tickets are only available at the door and are $10 for adults. Children (12 and under) and seniors are free.

Pinnacles FC wrapped up its house league season with the PFC Cup championship. Games for boys and girls in the under-11 to -18 age groups flooded King’s Park over the weekend. In the under-15/16 girls side, Penticton 1 faced city rival Penticton 2, who always got the best of them during the season. Penticton 1 overcame any nerves they had to take the championship 1-0 in a shootout. Pinnacles 1 played a strong team game and benefitted from the performance of Emma Roos in net. “Our goalie was on fire,” said coach Sue Lionello of Roos, who wasn’t their regular keeper. “She was so great.” Penticton 1 won the game because as Lionello said, they worked as a unit and were passionate. “We wanted to do well,” said Lionello. “We wanted it more.” Lionello coached a group that included newcomers to the sport who worked hard and their determination was marvelous. “That’s the whole beauty of house,” said Lionello. “Develop players and plant the seed.” Jordan Thomsen, who had not scored all season, buried the winning goal. Once the victory was secured the group tackled Roos, “like it was the World Cup,” said Lionello. Penticton 1 took gold in the under-11 boys after defeating Summerland 4-1. Pinnacles FC coach Wayne Kuechle was impressed with how his team played. “We were missing some key players and some of our boys had to go to Revelstoke to play soccer with their district team,” said Kuechle. “I told the boys if they played like a team, like That’s the they had played all season, we were going to whole beauty of do it. house. Develop “Most importantly, players and they are just a fun group of boys who love the plant the seed. game and love to play,” he continued. “They al— Sue Lionello ways treat one another with respect, respect their opponents, respect the referee and of course respect their coaches.” Kuechle said that Summerland came a long way in the year and worked hard. He was proud to see them reach the final. “It was a wonderful and memorable experience for our boys to win the house playoffs,” he said. Other results had Keremeos’U12 boys team win against Penticton 2. Oliver’s U13/14 team took gold, while Summerland’s U15/16 won gold over Penticton 1. Summerland’s U17/18 team defeated Keremeos for gold. On the girls side, a shootout was needed to decide the winner between Osoyoos and Summerland 2 in U11/12 action. Osoyoos prevailed. Keremeos’ U13/14 team defeated Penticton 3 for gold and Summerland’s U17/18 team defeated Penticton for gold.

The Penticton Harlequins women’s rugby team has talent. That’s what their coach Mike Bevan believes. “There is definitely some really promising girls out there,” said Bevan. “There is a few girls who have been playing for a few years. Compared to what I was used to in Edmonton and Lethbridge, the skill set and just the experience, we are really low on experience.” Bevan is hoping they can add experienced players and welcomes women who can bring that. He sees the desire in his current group which he has already committed to for next season as long as they do the same. “I think we have a lot of potential,” he said, adding he likes what Lakers senior women’s coach Ian Butters has done at Pen High. Anyone interested in trying is welcome to attend practices Monday and Wednesday at 7 p.m. at McNicoll Park.

like, ‘What?’ “Others do know what chronic pain is,” he said. “They don’t necessarily understand why we are making a big deal out of it. It’s touching 20 per cent of the population. It’s touching a lot of people.” Fugère is accepting donations while cycling, but said people can contribute by visiting www. canadianpaincoalition.ca. Along with raising more awareness, the money will also go towards research. His target is to raise $10,000 and is at $6,000 so far. Fugère got the idea from his father Francois Fugère, a doctor in Montreal who specializes in treating patients with chronic pain. Fugère said he believes he is accomplishing his goal of mak-

ing people aware. As for what it’s been like to cycle across Canada, Fugère said it’s been harder than expected, especially when facing winds. “I knew the winds were dominant western,” said Fugère, a former spinning instructor who has always enjoyed cycling.

Kids triathlon about fun and experience Western News Staff

Nearly 200 athletes aged three to 13 from Osoyoos to Kelowna and the Lower Mainland participated in the third annual Pharmasave Okanagan Falls Junior Triathlon on June 21. Kids were given the chance to enter the

non-competitive race, and while times were not officially recorded, each athlete did have their name and unofficial time announced by Steve King. “With our race, it’s not about the time you get, but about the time you have,” said co-race direc-

tor Niki Holt. “All the athletes had a great time with huge smiles seen.” There were distances for the age groups of three to seven, eight and nine, 10 to 11 and 12-13. Kids aged three to seven completed a 30-metre swim, 800-m bike ride and 250m run. Kids aged eight to nine swam for 75-m, biked 1,600-m and ran for 800-m. Ten to 11-yearolds completed a 75-m swim, bike 3,200-m and ran for 1,600 and 12- to 13-year-olds swam 150-

m, biked 4,000-m and ran 1,600-m. Among the kids in the oldest age group were Riley Thompson and Rylee Holt. Thompson thought the event was great as it allowed kids who normally wouldn’t get the chance to enter the sport to get some experience. “It was hard. You are combining three hard sports,” said Thompson. “I think the swim was hard because there really wasn’t much of a swim. You were just running

through the water and that’s hard.” Thompson liked the bike and run portion and felt good while completing them. He enjoyed completing the bike portion because he knew “you are about to finish.” Holt thought it was a fun event and said it was a good, small triathlon for kids to get into. “It was a challenge,” he said, adding that the swim was tough since the water was too shallow for swimming, forcing the

kids to run. Holt also enjoyed the bike and run portions. “It was good because you had so many laps to do,” he said. Several volunteers and event sponsors were credited for making the event a success, especially with it being free due to the generous sponsors. “Our little race is becoming very well known in the triathlon world, and we have been warmly received and supported,” said co-race director Car-

rie Ferguson. “Moving the event to the weekend this year and increasing the cap of participants just proved that we may be able to grow even more for next year’s race.” The Pharmasave Okanagan Falls Junior Triathlon is an official Kids of Steel event, along with being fully sanctioned by TriBC. The event website, www.okfallsjrtri. com, shows maps and distances according to age categories.

Question of the Week Bob McHugh in his review of the Lincoln MKC reveals there is a new technology called “park out assist” which gets your vehicle out of the tight parking sport that the “park assist” shoehorned you into! Is this kind of technology in danger of diminishing a driver’s control skills? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer. QUESTION

OF THE WEEK!

Safety Tip: As the summer BBQ season and Canada Day celebrations kick off, it’s important to remember how deadly of a combination drinking and driving can be. Arrange for a designated driver or use other options to get home safely.

The cop show genre goes back to the pre-TV days of radio (where you had to imagine what black and white your favorite cop was driving). Here are some favourite full-size, rear-wheel-drive American cop cars from 60 years of the best cop shows: • Adam 12 (1972 AMC Matador): Although it was shot in the 1970s, in many ways, Adam 12 was a throwback to 1950s cop shows in which gangs, heroin dealers and street snitches didn’t exist and officers Reed and Malloy played by Kent McCord and Martin Milner

rarely drew their guns, let alone actually capped anyone. In seasons five through seven, they drove an AMC Matador. In actuality, the LAPD was always a strong supporter of underdog American Motors; they owned more than 500 Matador black and whites at one time. •TJ Hooker (1979 Dodge St. Regis): The post-Star Trek the TV series and pre-Star Trek - the Motion Picture years saw William Shatner in a relatively forgettable cop show that starred perhaps the least believable cop of all time, Heather Locklear. For much of the show’s run, Shatner drove an equally forgettable Malaise-Era Mopar full-size sedan, the Dodge St.

Regis. It’s fascinating to see them on the show because few people can remember the last time they saw one on the road — they’re nearly extinct. • Hill Street Blues (1976 Dodge Monaco): The opening title sequence of Hill Street Blues with a memorable Mike Post theme song and a gritty look featured several fishtailing Dodge Monacos hightailing it out of the precinct. The Monaco in police surplus trim also served as The Bluesmobile in the film The Blues Brothers. • Southland (1999 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor): No list of great cop cars would be complete without the

EMPLOYEE

classic Ford Crown Vic. The last full-size rear-wheel-drive Ford was produced from 1992-2011. The Crown Vic was the most widely used police car and taxi in the U.S. and Canada, and although they’re starting to give way to the Dodge Charger, they still show up in the rearview mirrors of speeders everywhere. • The Andy Griffith Show (1963 Ford Galaxie): The Mayberry Police Department was fond of Fords. I’m partial to the ’63 300 Galaxie with the classic gumball-machine light on the roof. Over the years, fans of the show have
