SCHOOLS ON ALERT

NEWS Mark Brett PENTICTON WESTERN Western News Staff

Student attendance at most, if not all, the schools connected with a threatening letter found Feb. 18 was down, in some cases significantly, on Thursday as a lockdown continued. Copies of the jumbled, graphic and misspelled letter that were strewn about the grounds of Princess Margaret and Skaha Middle School warned of mass shootings at Penticton Secondary and another at Okanagan Falls Elementary School. Tavis Hamilton and Bill Beecroft are two 15-year-old Grade 10 students at Princess Margaret who did not attend a full day of classes Feb. 19. “I think it’s scary honestly and our parents were kind of worried about us so they said just go home and don’t even worry about it, it’s only a day of school,” said Beecroft. “It’s got everyone worried at the school and they’re not thinking straight. “You never actually think about how serious it is until you’re actually in those people’s shoes.” His friend agreed: “You hear about this all the time, down in the States and it’s crazy to think that it’s here now. “I feel like who did this wants help and doesn’t know how to ask for it and that’s kind of why he wrote that note.” “Many of the parents did phone in just to let us know that they were going to keep their kids home until they heard more about whether the person who had written the note had been apprehended,” said Principal Dave Brunelle of Skaha Lake Middle School. “The kids are engaged and we had maybe one or two kids

that asked to go home because they were upset today (Feb. 19) but other than that they are doing well. “We practise lockdown procedures in case an intruder comes into the school, it’s something we do twice a year just like fire drills. We have practised this and so everyone knew exactly what to do and it’s just running very smoothly.” About a dozen Penticton RCMP members were working on the case, including the uniformed officers stationed at the four schools. Feb. 20 is a professional development day in the Penticton district and all the schools will be closed.

Board chair Marleze Tarr of the Okanagan Similkameen School District announced Feb. 19 there would not be classes at OK Falls Elementary Friday to allow RCMP to concentrate their resources on finding the person(s) responsible. “We have to take all threats seriously and we have precautions and put them into practice,” said district superintendent Bev Young. “There were quite a few students whose parents chose to keep home today (Feb. 19) at Okanagan Falls. We really wanted to give as much information to them so they could make their own decisions about what they

were comfortable with. “I’ve never experienced anything like this. I’ve worked at secondary schools and we’ve had verbal threats that are dealt with but not an unknown one.” According to Sgt. Rick Dellebuur at the Penticton RCMP detachment, police have followed up as many leads as they could glean from the letter but none have panned out so far. “Right now we’ve got about as much information in the letter in front of you as we do,” said Dellebuur. “I think basically we’ve eliminated all of the people who meet that criteria. “Right now we’re

taking this one day at a time but how long do you continue this, one month, two months? “We’re hoping somebody recognizes this letter or saw a copy of it on their printer and says something to us.” He added if it is a hoax, the sooner that can be determined the better because of the valuable resources the matter is consuming and may make a difference in the consequences. “At the same time we have to take this very seriously to ensure the safety of everyone around, especially when you look at past events elsewhere.” Superintendent Wendy Hyer of the Penticton School District said in situations like this, where it may be a hoax, there is a fine balance between student safety and continuing to provide education. “We have had a couple of threats in the past, where kids have threatened to bomb a school. When we worked with the RCMP and located those kids, they would say it is just a joke,” she said. “Sometimes kids don’t understand the seriousness of the joke they are playing.” Hyer added it also possible the note was not done by a student. “Our hope is by next week they (RCMP) will be able to get a credible lead and maybe track down who the threat maker was,” she said. “Otherwise, I would suspect that they will have a presence at the schools again at least Monday morning.” Readers wishing to view the letter can go to pentictonwesternnews. com. Anyone who can provide any information is asked to contact Penticton RCMP at 250-492-4300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Pink Shirt Day twist Dale Boyd & Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Pink Shirt Day will have its own spin at Princess Margaret according to vice principal Sandra Richardson. “We’ve really tried to not focus so much on anti-bullying, but more of the kindness aspect, flipping things on its head so people are less likely to check out,” Richardson said. “One of the things my leadership kids and I talked about is that when you say ‘anti-bullying’ those people who don’t perceive themselves as bullies don’t perceive it as their problem,” Richardson continued. “But if you say we need to reach out and be kinder to other people, that’s everyone.” Mental wellness has been a focus at Princess Margaret this month with comedian and mental health advocate Kevin Breel visiting students on Feb. 17. Next week the focus is shifting to reaching out, speaking up and being kind to others. Each day throughout next week will involve different activities at the school involving that message including Pink Shirt Day, the weekly free breakfast for students will feature pink pancakes and students will be creating posters for an awareness cam-

Penticton Vees Cody DePourcq.

paign during the week as well. “Each day we’re doing a different kind of thing just to keep up the conversation that we’ve already started about speaking up, reaching out to others who may be struggling and being kind to those people, to everybody,” Richardson said. “It is not a one-day thing here,” Richardson said. “We’re trying to make it more of an attitude about being kinder to other people.” The Penticton Vees are doing their part when they hit the ice in BCHL action against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs on Feb. 21 sporting pink jerseys. It’s part of their third annual Anti-Bullying/ School Challenge night by Send-

ero Canyon. “They are interesting. It’s going to be a bright game for us,” joked Vees co-captain Cody DePourcq. “We’re going to be able to tell who is who for sure.” Patrick Sexton, the Vees other co-captain said, “Real men wear pink.” “They are bright that’s for sure. There’s no tie downs, so hopefully nothing gets too chippy,” Sexton joked. “It will be a good cause, it will be fun.” Growing up in Ottawa, Sexton had some experience with bullying. “I had a buddy who got bullied and luckily I was there to help stick up for him,” said Sexton. “He learned right away how to stick up for himself. It’s sad to see, especially when taking it to another level, you see kids that get depressed. You never want to see that. As a kid you are supposed to be happy and full of life.” “Bullying is huge, it happens all over school,” said DePourcq. He added that being part of a team and in a locker room, they joke around and crack jokes at each other, but they care about each other. They have the mentality to stand up for each other and do the same against bullying. For more on Anti-Bullying awareness, visit www.pinkshirtday.ca.

Children’s Festival may be cancelled a second time Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

For the second time in its 12-year history, one of Penticton’s most popular festivals is missing from this year’s list of events. After returning from a hiatus last year, indications are the Okanagan International Children’s Festival may not happen this year. Simone Blais, City of Penticton communications officer, confirmed that Okangan Lake Park has not been booked for the May long weekend, which is when the festival is traditionally held. “Our team who book facilities and parks did have a conversation with the previous organizers. They had indicated they weren’t

looking to book the park this year to run the event,” said Blais. Barb Haynes, previously the executive director for the Children’s Festival society, said her contract ended last July and she was unable to comment on the future of the festival. Haynes’ name, however, remains on the festival web site, which has not been updated since last year. Similarly, the festival’s Facebook page has not been updated since May 27 and the phone number for the festival’s office has been disconnected. Colin Cross, one of the board of directors, said the board continues to meet about the festival’s future. “Meetings are ongoing about what future

years may hold,” said Cross. “The interest in keeping the festival going is really strong.” Cross noted it takes a lot of involvement and effort to organize the festival each year, and they need the involvement and support of the community to keep the Children’s Festival going. Matt Oommen, another director, said there is a lot of work that needs to be done, but they are hoping to have an event this year, though it may be smaller and more local. “We are going to try very hard to make something happen.” said Oommen. “It’s not beyond the realm of possibility if we can get some things worked out.” The festival was founded in 2003 by Gord

Oslund, who was executive director until 2010, and quickly built a reputation as one of the top 10 children’s festivals in North America. It ran until 2012, when organizers estimated that over 10,000 people attended the three-day festival. Planning ran into a roadblock for the 2013 festival, after executive director Conrad Burek resigned in Nov. 2012. With little time to advertise and hire someone new before the festival in May 2013, the society’s board decided to take a break. Then, in April 2013, the festival faced another crisis when title sponsor Rotary International decided to pull out. However, the festival returned in 2014, with an estimated 9,000 people passing through the gates.

teleconference include a comment that the Boonstock security appeared to be overwhelmed and RCMP were strained trying to assist. The same report said drugs were also readily available on the Boonstock site, citing very loose screening for liquor and drugs and that online drug ordering and delivery appeared to be occurring. Meth,

coke, MDMA (Ecstasy), and marijauna were listed as the most common drugs seen. Besides drugs, dehydration was a major problem. EHS crews had their own water supply, but ambulance crews were concerned about the availability of water for patrons. Crews were also concerned about the medical tent operations not being optimal, noting that it was setup at “the 11th hour” two weeks before the festival. According to one report, the tent was grossly understocked with supplies, and EHS had lent them a defibrillator, oxygen and airways. Just after Boonstock, in an August 4 email, Rod Salem, director of emergency management special operations for EHS, suggested events at both Boonstock and the Pemberton Music Festival could spur the provincial government into providing legislation.

Bobbitt hearing resumes Kathy Michaels Black Press

The man who pleaded guilty to confining, beating and raping a Penticton woman as her toddler sat by her side could go to prison for life. Crown prosecutors are in a Kelowna courtroom this week, presenting arguments to B.C. Supreme Court Justice Peter Rogers that David Wesley Bobbitt, 39, should be labelled a Dangerous Offender. It’s a designation that could see him sent away for an indeterminate prison sentence. As the diminutive and balding man sat in the prisoner’s box staring at his feet, Crown counsel Deb Drissell explained that Bobbit’s actions July 30 2011, subsequent psychological evaluations and allegations of previous sexual violence met the bar set for the classification. His offence alone was so brutal, she said, it indicated that future behaviour is unlikely to be inhibited by standard restraints and he will likely harm others if given the opportunity. Highlighting that brutality, Drissell revisited the events of July 30, 2011. A young Penticton mother went to Bobbitt’s store to look for a trundle bed for her 22 month old son. As she was leaving, Bobbitt knocked her down with a hammer-blow to the head. Then, over the course of 15 hours she was imprisoned, he continued to hit her with the hammer, burnt her with cigarettes, bit her and violently sexually assaulted her while threatening to turn on her child. “She remained quiet,” Drissell told the court. “She did not want

to give him an excuse to turn his attention to her son.” Reading from the woman’s victim impact statement, Drissell added that the woman expected that she and her son would die from the attack, and with that belief in mind she removed his diaper and tried to console him, so he’d at least be comfortable during their last few hours. If it weren’t for the intervention of her family, who found her after a lengthy search, that may have been her fate, said Drissell. There’s medical evidence supporting the idea that she could have died from the wounds incurred, having lost significant amounts of blood and suffering gashes that cut to her skull. In addition to the nature of Bobbitt’s violence, there’s also the issue of remorse, which he’s never expressed. That, Drissell said, is unusual. From the moment he was imprisoned, Bobbitt had failed to show any regard for his victim or the crimes he later pleaded guilty to. When an undercover police officer entered the cell with Bobbitt, he was immediately put ill at ease.

Bobbitt threatened to kill him by biting out his Adam’s apple, then later shared details about how he’d been violent from a young age. He also laughed about the crime he’d been arrested for, noting that his victim “was a tough bitch.” In subsequent psychological assessments, Bobbitt went so far as to blame his victim for the amount of force he levied. While Drissell argued that brutality and lack of remorse paint a damning enough picture of Bobbitt, there is also the matter of allegations that precede the current charge. Crown counsel Nashina Devji argued that Bobbitt raped and beat his then girlfriend in 2007. During what seemed like a trial within a sentencing hearing, Devji said that there was ample corroborated evidence to support the claim that the alleged victim, whose name is protected by a publication ban, was assaulted violently. In Bobbitt’s defence, lawyer James Pennington argued that the earlier account of violence should be disregarded, based on her character and previous unfruitful dealings with police. “The crown has not proven these allegations ... (The witness’) credibility is a huge factor and she has no credibility. She should not be believed,” Pennington said. For Justice Peter Rogers to declare Bobbitt a dangerous offender, he must find his offences were so brutal that it’s unlikely his behaviour will be inhibited by standard restraints, or that he shows he can’t control his sexual impulses and will likely harm others again.

Alleged doctor attacker released on bail Dale Boyd

Western News Staff

The man accused of attacking a doctor at Penticton Regional Hospital will be released on recognizance upon the payment of a $50,000 bail. Gregory Stanley Nield, 31, appeared at the Penticton Court House on Thursday where the judge ruled that he be released into the custody of his family upon the perfection on bail. Nield was wearing a plaid shirt and was quiet, saying nothing other than “yes” when the judge asked if he could hear her. Nield appeared via video at the Penticton Courthouse on Wednesday where his bail was set for $50,000 and an agreement was made for him to be transferred from the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre to the Penticton Courthouse on Thursday.

The bail was set after an agreement was made between the Crown and Nield’s defence after he was subject to a 30-day psychiatric evaluation. The agreement pertains to 11 conditions including a curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., that he not leave his residence unsupervised and that he report to a bail supervisor and, on a Rogers Order, attend medical counselling and treatment as recommended. Nield will be released into the custody of his family and wife. He has no prior criminal record. Nield is charged with aggravated assault allegedly attacking Dr. Rajeev Sheoran on Dec. 5 during a closed-door interview in the psychiatric ward at Penticton Regional Hospital. Dr. Rajeev Sheoran was sent to Kelowna General Hospital and suffered a broken jaw with possible orbital fractures. Nield will appear in court March 11 for the election of mode of trial.

EDITORIAL

Letter exposes society’s failure It’s impossible to tell whether a menacing note found on school grounds is a real threat or a hoax. School officials and the RCMP are, appropriately, treating it as a real threat. Hopefully, it will turn out the note was a hoax and their precautions were not needed. But even as a hoax, even putting together a letter like this shows the mark of a disturbed mind, and in some ways a failure of the education system and society. Part of what makes this note so disturbing is its specificity. The mother in a wheelchair not getting enough financial aid to even make the rent, a child with only one pair of pants and no jacket tied to the shame of turning to a welfare system that isn’t doing enough to help. Real or hoax, the author did a good job on pulling together problems that are all too common and real. Chalk one up for society failing to look after its weakest members. Then, let’s turn to the language of the letter. Again, real or hoax, the spelling mistakes and atrocious slang make you wonder if the writer ever attended school, or why they hadn’t been educated beyond thinking this patois was cool. Even if this is a joke in incredibly poor taste, you have to wonder about the state of mind of the writer. Thinking a death threat is funny is bad enough, but the author has nailed soPENTICTON much pain and anxiety that it is impossible WESTERN not to think they have some serious emotional problems themselves. There shouldn’t be any doubt that the author of the note is responsible for his or her own actions, and deserving of both punishment and care. But the ammunition used to scare us? Society made that way too available.

Helping Little Miss Myla I wasn’t too sure where to start this column, it is a tough one for me. I thought of crafty intro’s but nothing seemed right. Instead, I ask you to look at the picture of the young girl to the right. Little Miss Myla is the daughter of my slo pitch teammate, and more importantly my friend, Jen Levesque. It was only a few weeks ago I found out Myla was at the Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. The little girl with a smile always on her face is sick. Now I don’t have kids, but if you have been around the ball field you know that everyone kind of becomes an adoptive parent to the little ones running around. I couldn’t even imagine looking into Myla’s face and trying to explain to her she has cancer, much less how to pronounce rhabdomyosarcoma. After weeks of Myla being sick and in pain, a mass tissue was found behind her nasal cavity affecting her ear as well as her throat. She has been receiving chemotherapy treatment at the Vancouver Children’s Hospital and returns back to Penticton this weekend to get her next round of chemo. While this type of cancer is treatable, the family will need to travel to Seattle for Myla to receive six weeks of proton radiation therapy. The therapist said Myla’s face will not grow properly and she will need mul-

This & That tiple surgeries as she grows up. Devastating news for an already difficult path ahead. Friends have set up a GoFundMe.com account (Support for Little Miss Myla) that has raised just over $19,000 in 11 days. Jen is extremely overwhelmed about the donations that have come in. “We are so appreciative to live with and have such a caring community. Everyone has done so much already and we have so many people behind us. It has helped us stay focused on being positive and moving forward to heal Myla. It’s going to be a long road of treatment but I can’t say enough how thankful we are,” she told me. While it seems like a lot of money to most, the cost of travel, accommodations, food and missing time at work will add up. A charity golf tournament is taking place on April 18 at

Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club, visit Little Miss Myla Golf Tourney Fundraiser on Facebook for more info. As well the team I play ball with, the Smokin’ Aces, are hosting a tournament April 24 to 25. Last year it was in honour of the late Scott Mullins and we raised over $4,500 for the family. My offer of help, in whatever form Jen needs, still makes me feel useless. I write that with a lump in my throat and think about another little Penticton girl, Chloe Kroeger, who lost the battle against this very same kind of cancer last year. An outpouring of support and

positive energy came from the community and beyond to assist her family. I am asking and hoping the community does the same for Myla. As friends we can provide Kyle, Jen, Myla and her sister Vanelle hugs, laughter and positive light. I am also doing the one thing I know I can and that is bring awareness to the fight of Little Miss Myla’s life. One that we already know she will come at with a smile on her face (and maybe some ice cream), her arms up ready to punch and an army behind her.

Rising to the occasion The realtors of Coldwell Banker Okanagan Realty would like to thank the staff at the community centre, the volunteers, Par-T-Perfect, Penticton Public Library, PacSport and the Penticton Vees for their enthusiastic participation in making the Coldwell Banker Family Day celebration a great success. The coverage by Bell Media, Penticton Herald and the Penticton Western News did a great job getting the word out. A total of 1,300 people came

What is the IODE?

Formerly known as Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire until the 1970s, we have been in service since 1900. We are now celebrating 115 busy years. We began in New Brunswick as a loyal support for Canadians departing to fight in the Boer War in South Africa. Our organization is a federally chartered not-for-profit charitable organization, not affiliated with any other agency or religion. It will be interesting to note that nationally, the IODE purchased the Bolingbroke Bomber for the war effort. This plane, with the IODE logo painted on it, is now retired and housed in the Federal Aviation Museum in Hamilton, Ont. On Feb. 10, the ladies gathered for lunch at the Day’s Inn Conference Centre to celebrate the founding of our organization by Margaret Polson Murray. We were delighted to have been joined at the head table by Mayor Andrew Jakubeit, who brought greetings from the city and related what council is presently working on. One long-time member, Laura Day-Cooke, was presented with her 50-year pin by our president, Beatrice Steele. Quite an accomplishment. Laura also received a congratulatory certificate from the national IODE president Anne Mason. Last year, Coleen Pollitt

In appreciation, The real estate sales team of Coldwell Banker Okanagan Realty.

was delighted to receive her 50year pin from the chapter. After lunch, the Canadian flag was given to each person present and we all stood up to sing the national anthem. A little early perhaps, but we were celebrating our flag’s 50th birthday which took place on Feb. 15. Denise Kadatz Communications IODE Penticton

Flying Harper’s coop

The conservative chicken coop situated on Parliament Hill no longer has all it’s egg’s in one basket, which has the head rooster in a tailspin and not quite so cocky now that his feathers have been ruffled once again. The truth of the sudden departure of hen and junior rooster will likely never be known. I wonder if the junior rooster was more than a little worried about junior’s health after beaking off and biting off more than junior’s loose lips could chew? Junior’s unwanted wish could of become a reality as one can run, but can’t hide in this shrunken world we live in.

Do you obey the traffic laws at the Channel Parkway bridge construction area?

Canada needs to go back in time. Use diplomacy before threatening and sticking her nose and loose insulting lips in where they don’t belong. Now about this latest flip-flop windbag to Minister of Defense? Gotta go as I think I’m going to be sick. Just thinking about the future of Canada and its military personell with the new inexperienced armchair general pushing buttons and holding the key that could place Canada in far more jeopardy than an attack by one man that had head rooster (Harper) take cover in a closet is mind boggling. Bring on the election. The sooner the better.

Join the fight to save Apex ecosystem Adventure tourism is defined as travel that involves two of three elements: connection with nature, interaction with culture and physical activity. The global adventure travel sector is estimated to be worth $263 billion U.S. and $82 billion for gear, apparel and accessories (Adventure Tourism Market Survey, George Washington University). Adventure Tourism takes environmentally and culturally aware travelers, guided or unguided, into more remote places on the planet where they can experience being physically active in nature and interacting with unique cultures. The Okanagan-Similkameen is on the adventure tourism radar, offering cultural interaction — Mascot Mine and winery tours, the Kettle Valley Steam Railway and special aboriginal events, to name a few. Our natural scenic landscape is also a big draw where travelers test physical endurance with water sport, biking and hiking. The valley is a treasure chest of adventure tourism gold. Gold that is being mined by the tourism industry and its adjunct industries and gold that keeps our local economy buoyant and growing. Our spring,

summer and fall months are busy with valley visitors, their presence is visible. But what about winter and cold weather adventure tourism? The alpine is where that happens. Resorts offer downhill and cross country skiing, snow shoeing, skating, tobogganing and snowmobiling. Sometimes just being in the mountains as an observer is enough. Clouds skidding by on high altitude currents, wind and snow blizzards stinging the skin, sun highlighting snow diamonds, the quiet interrupted occasionally by squirrel and bird calls. The brilliant stars and planets low overhead in skies unlit by artificial light. Then there is the pine, hemlock and fir trees dense in their sentinel stands, guarding moose, deer, cougar and burrowing small mammals, overseeing the winding trails below their branches. When the snow melts and the alpine flowers bloom, recreation still thrives offering myriad hours of exhilarating mountain exploration. Our local alpine forest is at Apex Mountain Resort and Nickel Plate Nordic Centre. This forest is in great peril at present with clear-cut logging having gone on all winter dur-

ing this ski season, a situation that has not occurred before, with loaded trucks barreling down Apex Mountain Road being a very real safety hazard to mountain visitors. Twenty per cent of the Nickel Plate Lake area has been clear cut and another 20 per cent to be done in the next seven years. Clear cutting has been done on Green Mountain and is visible from Apex Mountain Resort, a hectare wide barren swath that has yet to be replanted after three years since the trees were taken. Further slated logging includes the heart of the Nickel Plate Nordic Centre, eliminating a number of cross country and snowshoe trails altogether. With roads already in place giving easy access to the forest, no regulations by government on industry logging practises, no desire by government or industry to preserve alpine recreation and the environment, clear cutting is the method of choice for quick and easy profit rather than scheduled, sustainable, selective harvesting practises. What is detrimental to the alpine ecosystem filters down to the valley ecosystem with detrimental results as well.

This logging is not an alpine issue, it is a South Okanagan issue. Certainly valley tourism and its spin-offs lose and in the alpine, outdoor recreationists and the singular culture they create lose, the environment loses and property owners lose with resultant property value declines. The Apex Property Owners Association is holding an information meeting in the Day Lodge in Apex Mountain Village on Feb. 28 at 4 p.m. A well-researched presentation on logging in the alpine will be presented by the APOA Forestry Committee followed by an Q and A. Learn who is logging, the full extent of what is planned, the wide-ranging repercussions to alpine and Okanagan environments and what we can do about it. A groundswell of public support is needed to stop the clear cutting of this most delicate recreational ecosystem that requires a 100-year lifecycle to maintain its health. Please join us in our intention to stop clear-cut logging and its devastating impact on us all. Julia Valenti President, Apex Property Owners Association

Fruit growers in town to vote Richard Rolke Morning Star Staff

It will be deja vu for Okanagan orchardists. Just as they did last year, Vernon’s Jeet Dukhia and Kelowna’s Fred Steele will go head-to-head for the presidency of the B.C. Fruit Growers Association Saturday. “We carried out a progressive agenda in the first term and we received $8.4 million over seven years for the replant program,� said Steele, who is currently president. Steele says he is seeking a second term because he has a number of initiatives to pursue. “There are things we can do in terms of infrastructure money from other levels of government,� he said, adding that an industry strategy will be developed and that will help broaden funding opportunities. “Agriculture has relied on talking to the federal and provincial agriculture ministers and there are also opportunities under Western diversification, the industry ministry and the trade ministry.� Steele is calling for increased exports of fruit. “We have to expand in different horizons and we’re looking at that,� he said. Dukhia was president of the BCFGA prior to los-

ing to Steele at the 2014 convention. “I had a lot of issues started and I would like to complete them,� said Dukhia referring to insurance protection. Dukhia also insists that he established a good working relationship with senior federal and provincial officials that benefitted the industry. “They understand me and where I want to take the industry,� he said, adding that there needs to be more focus on growing varieties that will bolster exports. “I’d like to see every location (vacant land) back with orchards so we can make the industry profitable and attract young orchardists.� Dukhia says the BCFGA needs to lobby government more on fruit from other countries being imported into Canada. “A lot of growers are not happy with (price) returns.� The BCFGA’s 126th annual convention runs Friday and Saturday in Penticton. The agenda includes consideration of resolutions, industry updates and reports on the environment, food safety, crop protection and labour. The keynote speaker will be Dr. Kirsten Hannam, with the University of B.C., on building resilient orchard systems using integrated management practises.

Camping? Golfing? Hanging out at a pub? Cleaning up graffiti on a Penticton business wall? These are just some of the possibilities that future members of the Forge Men’s Group created by David MacCoubrey can do. The group is intended for all male business owners, professional employees aged 19 and over. Having lived in Penticton for more than five years, MacCoubrey saw a need for a group such as this. He added Penticton

has networks that are womenbased, while there are groups for men who are older. “I wanted to start something for younger men,� said MacCoubrey, who envisions this as a way for people to meet each other and hang out in a relaxed atmosphere. Younger males are welcome to take part in events or gatherings in which alcohol isn’t being consumed. MacCoubrey’s idea is to create an avenue for males to network and contribute to the community. He sees this as something that can become valuable. There

is early interest on the Facebook page MacCoubrey created, Forge Penticton Men’s Group. MacCoubrey also sees the group creating business relationships to promote positive growth in the region. The first meeting will be Feb. 24 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Burger 55 where they will also having tastings with the Firehall Brewery for the first hour. Cost is $15 for the burger and beer and the group will choose a local charity to donate some of the proceeds to. Dress and attitude is intended to be business casual.

Celtic Thunder returns to roots Dale Boyd

Western News Staff

It’s been eight years since Ryan Kelly responded to an advertisement for a littleknown touring group called Celtic Thunder. “It was my first-ever professional music job and I didn’t know what Celtic Thunder was going to be or the lengths that it would go to. I always say that I’m happy that I didn’t know that because it probably would have freaked me out,” Kelly said. “If someone had told me you’re going to end up touring around the world, at the top of the Billboard charts, singing in the White House for the president that would have freaked me right out,” Kelly said. This year marks the seventh tour for Kelly who will be stopping in Penticton with the rest of the group on March 13 at the South Okanagan Events Centre. After touring for so long, it becomes a way of life, according to Kelly. “It really does. You do get used to it,” Kelly said. “When you’re working in the same places that you have before it feels a bit like normal life.” While he is used to the constant travel, Kelly is just coming around to finding familiarity with the many stops on the tour. “I’ll put my running shoes on and get out and then I realize, oh now I remember this place,” Kelly said. “It takes awhile to

I’m happy that I didn’t know that because it would have freaked me out. — Ryan Kelly

go ‘ah, now I know where I am,’ and it’s funny that way because you are just moving constantly.” Revisiting familiar tour stops fits thematically with a greatest hits tour. Kelly and the rest of Celtic Thunder will be bringing back songs from as far back as the first tour seven years ago. One of his favourite tunes to revisit was Ride On. “It’s a song I remember playing on guitar when I was 14 years old. The version we play with Celtic Thunder is a bit more rocked up. It’s just great to be back doing that,” Kelly said. “All in all it’s just nice to revisit these songs again. It has been a few years since I’ve had the chance to perform them and

maybe it’s a bit of a different take on the songs then I did singing them seven years ago. That’s something that I find exciting. Getting to try some new things with the songs that I didn’t before.” One of two remaining from the original line up, Kelly will be reuniting with fellow original member Damien McGinty on this tour. “A few of us have stuck it out until now and they haven’t gotten rid of us yet,” Kelly said. The tour has a lot of stops, but Kelly remembers the enthusiasm particularly from the Penticton crowd. “The crowds there really like to sing along with us. These are the greatest hits songs. Nobody is hearing these songs for the first time that’s for sure,” Kelly said. He said the greatest hits tour will only add to the excitement. “I think this tour more than any other tour before is full of sing along moments because these are songs that we have sang for so many years,” Kelly said. “There’s nothing better than going to a concert in the audience and just being able to enjoy yourself and let yourself go with it. I’m hoping for more of the same from the Penticton crowd this time around.” Tickets are available at www.valleyfirsttix.com on the phone at 1-877-763-2849 or in person at the Valley First Box Office at the SOEC.

The Bra Lady Is Coming to Town

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in. Due to overwhelming response to the previous clinic, Barbara Chapman is coming to PENTICTON, THURS. MARCH 5TH to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.” Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

You can sign up for Chapman’s bra clinic by calling

1-800-254-3938 by MARCH 3RD

She doesn’t come into town very often so she advises booking as soon as possible. Although Chapman enjoys coming to this area, she is looking for someone to train to do the fittings or to buy her business.

Stand up against bullying… On Wednesday, February 25th, 2015 be sure to wear your Pink Shirt Day t-shirt and say ENOUGH to bullying! This special day takes place in schools, workplaces, and neighbourhoods across the nation, and features individuals like you bringing awareness to the cause. The goal of the Pink Shirt Day campaign is to raise $300,000 to fund local anti-bullying programs and you can be a part of this amazing campaign!

Bullying and Cyberbullying BULLYING

Bullying happens when there is an imbalance of power; where someone purposely and repeatedly says or does hurtful things to someone else. Bullying can occur one on one or in a group(s) of people. There are many different forms of bullying: ◼ Physical bullying (using your body or objects to cause harm): includes hitting, punching, kicking, spitting or breaking someone else’s belongings. ◼ Verbal bullying (using words to hurt someone): includes name calling, put-downs, threats and

teasing. ◼ Social bullying (using your friends and relationships to hurt someone): includes spreading rumours, gossiping, excluding others from a group or making others look foolish or unintelligent. This form of bullying is most common among girls (Canadian Children’s Rights Council).

CYBERBULLYING

Cyberbullying involves the use of communication technologies such as the Internet, social networking sites, websites, email, text messaging and instant messaging to repeatedly intimidate or harass others. Cyberbullying includes:

TOLL FREE: 1-888-509-7551 www.westminsterequipment.com

• Sending mean or threatening emails or text/instant messages. • Posting embarrassing photos of someone online. • Creating a website to make fun of others. • Pretending to be someone by using their name. • Tricking someone into revealing personal or embarrassing information and sending it to others. Cyberbullying affects victims in different ways than traditional bullying. It can follow a victim everywhere 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from school, to the mall and all the way into the comfort of their home - usually safe from traditional forms of bullying.

IMPACTS

Over time, youth who are bullied or bully others find their own ways of dealing with it. While some victims/bullies may become depressed and begin to withdraw socially, others react aggressively and turn to violence. Dangers for Children and Adolescents Who Are Bullied: • Depression • Social anxiety, loneliness, isolation • Stress related health problems (e.g., headaches, stomach aches) • Low self esteem • School absenteeism and academic problems • Aggressive behaviours • Contemplating, attempting, or committing suicide

Dangers for Children and Adolescents Who Bully Others: • Not knowing the difference between right and wrong • Delinquency and substance use • Academic problems and increased school dropout rate • Aggression • Sexual harassment and dating aggression • Gang involvement and criminal adulthood • Difficulties in their relationships with others • Being bullied at the hands of others

BULLYING AND THE LAW

Bullying can be a traumatic experience, and some forms of bullying can even be considered illegal. These include: • Threats - whether done face to face, online, over the phone or through text messaging. • Assaults - including pushing, tripping, slaping, hitting or spitting. • Theft of personal items - like a backpack, books, electronic devices, etc. • Harassment - repeated tormenting online, with texts, phone calls and/or emails. • Sexual Exploitation - sharing videos or photos with nudity of people under 18. • Hate crime - bullying based on ethnicity, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, etc. For all of these criminal offences, it is important to notify your local police detachment or report it to CYBERTIP.CA. Based on the available information, police will decide if an investigation is warranted and whether charges may be laid.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Youth If you are a victim of bullying • Walk away or leave the online conversation. • Keep track of the bullying (write it down and/or save a screenshot of the online message). • Tell a trusted adult. If you don’t trust anyone or need to speak with someone urgently, contact the confidential and toll-free Kids Help Phone. • Report the bullying to school administrators. • Report criminal offences, such as threats, assaults and

Generate It. Don’t Eat It!

BioSil Advanced Collagen Generator ™

Clinical Trial Results

• Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles • Increases Skin Elasticity • Thickens and Strengthens Hair • Strengthens Nails By now you know. Adding body collagen directly reduces wrinkles, increases skin elasticity, and adds vital moisture to your skin. Indirectly, collagen thickens and strengthens your hair. You may also know that collagen production slows by 1% per year after the age of 21. Can you gain it back? Yes. But not by eating collagen. You see, collagen is a protein. When you ingest it, your body breaks it down, like any other protein, and uses it as food. When you want the real beauty benefits of collagen, you have to generate it.

collaBioSil™ generates collagen by activating the colla gen producing cells in your body known as fibroblasts. It is clinically proven to increase collagen formation. In fact, in the clinical trial the women taking BioSil™ reduced wrinkles by 30%, increased skin elasticity by 89% and thickened and strengthened their hair by 13% compared to women not taking BioSil™. So when you want genuine visible results from collagen, generate it, don’t eat it. Experience the beautiful difference for yourself!

Dr. Marita Schauch, BSc ND

debunks myths about collagen “creams,” beauty industry promises and plastic surgery to show you how and why building and generating collagen is an essential component to true health and beauty in her newest book Collagen Myths & Misconceptions.

Armchair Book Club: The Jaguar’s Children by John Vaillant

Heather Allen Armchair Book Club

Last week, as our plane tried to descend through Penticton’s winter fog, we could hear loud banging noises outside on the fuselage. The flight attendant told us not to worry – it was just ice

chunks breaking away from the plane. Two Mexican workers sitting across the aisle clearly couldn’t understand what was being said, and peered nervously into the dark. I wasn’t entirely

comfortable stuck inside that metal drum either – mostly because I was a little spooked by the book I was reading. In John Vaillant’s new novel, The Jaguar’s Children, two Mexican migrants, Hector and Cesar, pay to be hidden inside the metal tank of a water truck, and smuggled across the border. On the threehour ride across the desert, they sit in the dark and hope they will make it. Suddenly the

truck makes a clunking sound, and lurches to a stop. The smugglers abandon Hector, Cesar and the other desperate migrants welded inside the tank. With no way to escape, they have no option but to wait and hope someone will find them. If, on my plane ride, neuroscientists had me wired up to demonstrate how reading novels increases empathy, I would have blown their readings right off the

chart. It’s in fashion at the moment to think of novels as empathy builders, and I suspect that’s the very reason Vaillant, who is better known for his nonfiction books The Tiger and The Golden Spruce, turned to fiction to tell his latest story. Fiction can move people in a different way that non-fiction. What is it really like to cross the border, to risk jail time, deportation, or worse, to die in the des-

ert? Always interested in history and research, Vaillant ties each of the trapped migrants to current troubles in Mexico – dealing with drug lords, the destruction of small farms, and the introduction of genetically-modified corn.

Feliz cumpleaños for Kohl Dale Boyd

Western News Staff

It’s a tour of milestones and celebrations as Diego Kohl and El Mariachi Los Dorados swing through the B.C. carrying their traditional Mexican mariachi music with them. Kohl will celebrate his birthday on tour with El Mariachi Los Dorados, a cultural cocktail with a mixture of Canadians, Mexicans and Mexicans of Chinese descent. “People get a real kick out of that. To see that their music is getting played by other musicians who are great players and very studied,” Kohl said. “Our famous business motto is:

Proudly Canadian, truly Mexican.” Kohl’s birthday show will take place at the Centre Stage Theatre in Summerland on Mar. 14. “This is going to be a special occasion,” Kohl said. He added that his parents live in the Okanagan and will be joining him in the celebration. “It will definitely involve some singing, tequila and food,” Kohl laughed. Kohl is a singer and plays guitrrón, a Mexican bass instrument, in the band and this year marks the fifth annual tour through the B.C. for El Mariachi Los Dorados. Ricardo Ochoa, star Mexican tenor and vihuela player, will be join-

ing the group for this tour. “Having Ricardo on this tour playing vihuela will add to the magic of the experience because he’s so great,” Kohl said. The five-date tour through B.C. also celebrates the ten-year anniversary for the group as a whole. The music is exactly what one would expect from a traditional Mexican band. “The music that everybody knows because we’ve all been on that vacation to Mexico. Essentially it’s the musicians with the big hats,” Kohl said. The “big hats” have become something of a competition between band members. Some of the older members of the group try to keep their hats on the whole show, harkening back to the traditional,

tough guy machismo personality associated with the music. The heat gets turned up when they see who can keep their hat on the longest. “When we play, nine times out of 10 we keep the hats on the whole time. Even if it’s super hot. You’ll see the sweat coming down,” Kohl laughed. Everyone in the group has a minimum of an undergraduate degree is some form of music, though the technicalities don’t get in the way of the fun. “It’s contagious. The music is so happy. The trumpets, the violins, the guitars, the voices, it’s hard not to like,” Kohl said. For more information on the music of El Mariachi Los Dorados or tour dates visit www.diegokohl.com

BOTHERSOME BRONCHITIS The weather outside may look beautiful but it does not take long to realize that winter is still upon us. The first clue is that temperatures are still chilly and the second is that colds and bronchitis are running rampant! A lot of people are coming in to ask about bronchitis these days. Here are the facts (but hopefully you won’t need them). Bronchitis develops when there is swelling and irritation of the bronchi. Acute bronchitis most often occurs with a viral infection such as the common cold. The most common symptom is a nagging cough which usually lasts about 10 – 20 days. Some people cough up mucus which may be clear, yellow or green. Although this may be unpleasant, coughing up this mucus is a good response as it helps to clear the bronchi. Fever is rare in people with bronchitis; if fever over

38°C develops you should consult your physician as it may be a sign of another condition. There is no specific treatment for bronchitis. Antibiotics do not help to eliminate bronchitis as bronchitis is most often due to a viral infection. Treatments focus of relieving the symptoms of bronchitis. Recommendations include drinking lots of fluids to keep hydrated and using a warm mist humidifier to comfort the sinuses and airways. Tylenol or Advil can be used to relieve the pain of a sore throat and/or headache. Generally, cough suppressants should be avoided as the coughing helps to clear the bronchi of mucus. It is also important to wash your hands frequently when you have bronchitis to prevent spreading the illness to others. We are available 7 days a week to serve you!

PENTICTON VEES FORWARD Steen Cooper (17) does other good things when he’s not burying pucks. Steen has been a strong defensive player who takes the body and is a big reason the Vees won their second BCHL regular season title in four years.

Steen Cooper is a big part of the Penticton Vees success. He snapped a nine-game goal drought against the Trail Smoke Eaters Feb.14 en route to a Vees 5-2 victory and their second BCHL Ron Boileau Trophy in four years as regular season champs. “Clinching the league title was fantastic, great feeling,” said Cooper, who past his career high of 10 goals with 12 this season, while adding 11 assists in 53 games. “I have never won a league title. It’s definitely something to play for. Just getting ready for playoffs and use that as motivation.” At Trail’s Cominco Arena, the Vees trailed 1-0, then 2-1 before Gabe Bast evened things at two. Cooper’s winner came less than three minutes after Bast’s equalizer. “Him coming through in the third period the other night didn’t surprise me,” said Vees coach-general manager Fred Harbinson. “Good things happen to guys that compete the way he does.” Cooper experienced a slow start offensively this season, but Harbinson still felt the 19-year-old was playing well. Headed for the Minnesota-State Mavericks next fall, Cooper started taking off offensively in late November and since then the Vees

coach said he’s had a “heck of a year.” “If he’s not scoring, he’s sure working his butt off and it’s contagious,” said Harbinson, adding that Cooper does a little bit of everything including blocking shots and delivering hits. “He’s one of those guys as a coach you teach guys that if you are not scoring, find something else you can hang your hat on. He’s done a great job of that.” Cooper likes the way he is playing and maintains he just focuses on a 200-foot game, while looking out for what is best for the Vees. In the last few games, he has lined up with Riley Alferd and Jack Ramsey. “I think we’re a good fit for each other,” he said. “Alferd and Ramsey are having good years. Ramsey was drafted (by the Chicago Blackhawks last summer). It’s nice to play with a draft pick, definitely no complaints there. Alferd is a very fast forward, good centreman.” Harbinson pulled Matthew Serratore from that line to reduce his ice time in order to get his timing back a bit since returning from his fractured ankle injury that kept him out for two months. Cooper will be looking to maintain his strong play this weekend as the Vees host the Merritt Centennials Friday night, then look for redemption against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, who beat them 3-0 in Alberni Valley on Feb. 8.

Ice chips: Forward Mitch Newsome filled in as a backup against the Smoke Eaters Saturday when Brendan Barry became ill. Upon arriving at the South Okanagan Events Centre, Harbinson filled Newsome in on the situation. “I thought it was a joke at first,” said Newsome, who played goal six years ago and added he figured that is why they picked him. “It was a good experience. On Saturday, when the Vees play the Bulldogs, they will while sporting pink jerseys for their third annual Anti-Bullying/ School Challenge. On Feb. 27 against the Vernon Vipers, the Vees have teamed up with Kirk Chamberlain and Associates from Coldwell Banker for a Crack the Code contest giving fans a chance to win a $2,500,000 home in Summerland. Ten fans will be randomly selected to head to centre ice and have one chance to punch in a six-digit code on a vault keypad to try and win. Fans must be 18 and older to be eligible. The prize home is a 4,244 square foot waterfront home with four bedrooms and five bathrooms on Landry Crescent. It comes with approximately 75 feet of beautiful sandy beach and a 170-feet shared dock & deep water moorage. To see more about the listing and look at pictures of the prize home, visit www.kirkchamberlain.ca.

The Canada Winter Games in Prince George started on Feb. 13. The first medal earned by South Okanagan athletes was by speed skater Abigail McCluskey, who earned silver in women’s pursuit. In the 500-m long track event, McCluskey placed fourth and was seventh in the 1,500 metre long track event.

Freestyle skiing

Penticton’s Noah Spence of the B.C. freestyle mogul team placed 25th in the big air competition on Feb. 15. In slope style, Spence was 17. In moguls, the Apex Freestyle Club product finished sixth on Feb. 17, then missed the podium with a fourth-place result in dual moguls Wednesday. Kyle Parker, an AFC alumni with the B.C. mogul team, finished 26th in slope style on Feb.14, then was 28th in big air on Feb. 15. The Port Moody native performed better in moguls placing seventh on Feb. 17. Mackenzie Schwinghamer took 10th in female slope style on Feb. 14, and followed that up with 15th in big air. The West Kelowna resident and AFC product with the B.C. development team fell short of the podium when she finished fifth in moguls on Feb. 17. On Wednesday, she placed sixth in dual moguls.

Female hockey

Team B.C. has one win, two losses and an overtime loss in four games. Micah Hart of the Okanagan Hockey Academy has one goal. Alberta has three wins and an overtime win in four games. Emma Keenan of the OHA has one goal and three points.

Heading into the final weekend of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League season, the Summerland Steam were set to play two games with divisional opponents to get tuned up for the playoffs. On Friday night the Steam hosted the Osoyoos Coyotes and lost 3-1 at the hands of the league champs. Daylan Robertson scored the lone goal, while Jackson Glimpel, Luc Gradisar and Troy Maclise scored for the Coyotes. On Saturday night the Steam travelled to Kelowna to complete the regular season schedule against the Chiefs. The Chiefs came out on top 3-1 as the Coyotes did the night before. Kevin Roth netted two for the Chiefs while Nick Josephs sealed the victory into an empty net in the final minute. Jack Mills had the Steam’s only goal off a rebound off a Cole Woodliffe shot near the midway mark of the second period. Saturday’s meeting between the Steam and Chiefs would turn into an early playoff preview. Kelowna’s win sealed third for them in the Okanagan Division and a first round date with the Steam starting Feb. 20 at the Summerland Arena. The Steam and the Chiefs will play four games in five nights to start the playoff series as Games 1 and 2 go in Summerland on Feb. 20-21, while Games 3 and 4 go in Kelowna at the Rutland Arena on Feb. 22-24.

Juniors going to valleys Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

The Pen High Lakers junior boys basketball team advanced to the Okanagan Valley championship after defeating Osoyoos 49-35 to win the south zone. “We played quite well. The boys did battle, they played intense defence,” said Lakers coach Michael Stokker. “Osoyoos worked hard and that’s what kept them in the game.” The Lakers will now open the valley championship by taking on a big and athletic Okanagan Mission Huskies squad. “They are probably one of the top teams in the valley,” said Stokker, adding that the Huskies lost to No.1-ranked Kelowna Secondary School Owls. “It’s a tough challenge for us.” Adding to the challenge is the loss of key players Jayden Doell, who is in France on an exchange trip, and Brayden Jones. However, Stokker has a motivated group that wants to win and advance to provincials. On the season, the Lakers are 24-2, which includes wins in tournaments in Oliver, Vernon, Salmon Arm and their own invitational. Among the players who have

Championship hope Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Two of Penticton’s female hockey teams have a chance to win their first ever Okanagan Mainline Amateur Hockey Association championships. The bantam Ice Dragons will try on Saturday when they host Lillooet at OHS at 12:15 p.m. The Ice Dragons were doubled up 4-2 in Lillooet last weekend as only Hannah Lund and Morgan Brooks found the back of the net. “The team played really well, but a few bad bounces went the home team’s way and not ours,” said Ice Dragons coach Bill Lund. “The effort level was second to none. Every player gave it their all.” The Ice Dragons planned to work on their power play as Lillooet is the most penalized team. “If we can get that going it will make a huge difference,” added Lund. Meanwhile, the midget recreation Vees and Kelowna find themselves deadlocked at one in the OMAHA championship series. The Vees opened by taking the first game Saturday 1-0 with Sienna Gabriel scoring. In Game 2 Sunday, Kelowna topped the Vees 2-1, with Lena Madevon hitting the score sheet. Vees coach Shawn Black said Friday’s match at McLaren Arena at 6:45 p.m. should be exciting.

Midget rep Vees get bounced

A 4-0 loss to Kamloops has put a halt to the Vees playoffs until they return for the provincials, which Penticton hosts March 15-20. Coach Shawn Carter liked how his team competed and said goalie Faith Stark and

their defence was solid. “We just couldn’t generate enough offensively,” said Carter. “Something we will be working on leading up to provincials.” Kamloops came out strong and scored in the opening minute, however, the Vees continued to compete and trailed 2-0 after two periods. “Players were disappointed, but know we have the provincials to look forward to,” said Carter, adding that his team will play some exhibition games and practise twice a week to prepare for provincials.

Finals for Peerless midget Vees

The Penticton Peerless midget Vees advanced to the OMAHA Tier 2 finals with two convincing wins over the weekend. They entered trailing the best-of-three series with West Kelowna after losing the opener 3-2. On Saturday, the Vees scored quickly, 30 seconds into the match and continued to push hard building a 5-0 lead before wrapping up a 6-1 decision. Alyck Coombes picked up the win in goal. On Sunday, the Vees had another strong start, leading 3-0. West Kelowna cut it to a one-goal lead, but the Vees added three more for a 6-2 victory and will now face Kelowna. The series starts in Kelowna on Saturday, then comes to Penticton’s Memorial Arena at 11:15 a.m. The team is hoping to attract several fans to cheer them on, as well as support the Kaylee Kozari-Bowland Fund, a classmate battling cancer.All 50/50 proceeds from the game will be given to help Kozari-Bowland with her medical needs. As well, the team will be accepting straight donations from the fans for the fund.

The Okanagan resorts however, have some of the best conditions around,” said Megan Pigeon, sales and marking manager for Apex Mountain Resort. “The company was sourcing snow and really wanted a sprawling vista where they could see the valley and the terrain.” Pigeon said other venues around the Okanagan were scouted for the shoot, but Apex was chosen as the best location. She estimates the company brought in a crew of 10 people, which includes stunt drivers and car detailers who will also be staying at the Apex resort. The cars were flown

are north facing, we might have warmer temperatures up here but the amount of snow and the pack have stayed,” she said. An event held last weekend at the resort, Brewski, which attracted craft brewers, distillers and cider makers, also introduced new people to Apex. “We had people from Washington State come up that were chomping at the bit for snow and they left raving about the conditions here. It is not a ton of blow in your face powder on the ground, but it is like spring skiing in February,” added Pigeon. It is not the first time the mountain has been featured in commercials. McDonald’s shot a commercial with aerial skiers doing double twisting backflips,another commercial filmed prior to the Vancouver Olympics and a movie called Out Cold also featured the hill. “This is the first commercial we have done this year and we also have some other big-name brands looking at us for commercials, but nothing we can talk about yet,” said Pigeon.

The view from Poplar Grove over Okanagan Lake is spectacular as is the Syrah, which, like the best of the winery’s reds, benefits from the extra aging afforded by cellaring it for a couple of years longer than the norm.

Ten cars that look downright evil By Jonathan A. Stein

Like people, certain cars have a sinister look about them, especially in dark colours and particularly in black. Some cars have been typecast for the large and small screens and others just look evil without any help from the mass media. Here are a handful of production cars that look as if they could scatter children and make law-abiding citizens run for their lives. 1935 Cord 810 Beverly or Westchester: Sleek and low for its era with that coffin nose, few cars have more of an air of threat about them. To me, the chrome pipes of the 812 take away a lot of the menace. 1957 Lincoln Premiere: Low, long, and wide, from its stacked headlamps to its perfectly proportioned fins, there is an air of menace about any ’57 Premiere in a dark colour. I can’t see a ’52 or ’53 Cadillac Fleetwood in a dark colour without expecting Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) to step in or out of it. If ever a car was typecast, this is it. 1959-1966 Jaguar Mk II: This car has been cast repeatedly as the villain’s ride in all manner of British television and movies, though its menace is largely due to expectation rather than appearance. 1957 Plymouth Fury: This car would look threatening and scary even if it hadn’t been immortalized in Stephen King’s Christine as the embodiment of evil. Very few cars look scarier than a Facel Vega HK 500 — in black. I’ll never forget the last time I saw a somewhat questionable and now departed car dealer. He was moving a black Facel Vega and it had a powerful burble and

looked ready to spirit him away from a bank job or armored car heist. 1968-1972 Corvette Stingray: Talk about a car that looks Bad Ass; few cars top a black Stingray with chrome bumpers. 1961-1964 Lagonda Rapide: If there hadn’t been so few of them, this car definitely would have been a stereotypical bad guy’s car. They’re just plain menacing, even in white.

The 1952 Cadillac Fleetwood looks straight out of an old mob movie.

1963-1968 Marcos 1600 or 1800GT: Few cars are lower or look more sinister than these terrifically styled sports cars from England. They’re seldom seen on our shores. And although they look scary, they’d be hard to hop into for a quick getaway and there’s limited space to haul the loot. The SAAB 900 Turbo: This car had a very long life — from 1978 until 1998 — but it’s the cars from the mid-80s that will be best remembered as extremely predatory-looking. I’m talking about a black threedoor Turbo, probably with tinted windows. All kinds of cars make statements, but when you combine, long, low and wide with great presence, sometimes a car can be a little scary.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Zoning Bylaw Amendment

Lot 6, Plan KAS540, District Lot 210, SDYD 126 Robinson Avenue, Naramata

Suites, Lower Date: Time: Location:

Wednesday, March 4, 2015 7:00 p.m. Naramata Old Age Pensioners (OAP) Hall 330 3rd Street (corner of Ritchie Avenue), Naramata, B.C.

PURPOSE: to amend the zoning of the subject property in order to allow for office/retail uses. Prior to 1995, the subject property was zoned to allow for mixed residential / commercial (i.e. office & retail) uses. This zoning was changed to Multiple Family 1 (RM1) with the adoption of Zoning Bylaw No. 1566, 1995, thereby resulting in the commercial use of this site becoming legally non-conforming (i.e. “grandfathered”). In the intervening 20 years, the commercial use of the site lapsed and, in order to recommence such uses, an amendment to the Zoning Bylaw is required. Amendment Bylaw No. 2459.16 2015: proposes to amend Schedule ‘2’ of the Electoral Area “E” Zoning Bylaw No. 2459, 2008, by changing the zoning designation from Residential Multiple Family (RM1) to Residential Multiple Family Site Specific (RM1s), with the site specific component introducing “offices” and “retail stores, general” as permitted uses provided the combined maximum floor area does not exceed 76 m2.
