HELD AGAINST HER WILL

PENTICTON WESTERN Western News Staff

In sickness and in health.

For two-and-half years David Varcoe was unable to fulfill that promise of caring to his ill wife Nancy, who was wrongly kept against her will at Westview Place extended care unit.

David blamed what he described as a series of bureaucratic and medical blunders on the part of Interior Health Authority (IH) which operates the facility, for causing a complete upheaval in every facet of the couple’s lives.

“What transpired was a calamity of errors, my wife was in the hospital under the Mental Health Act, but should have been released after the second month when they didn’t do a review,” said Varcoe, 72, who is currently struggling with medical and mobility issues of his own. “If they didn’t do a review then, she was entitled to go home. Well, they didn’t do a review and they didn’t review it until 30 months into her stay at the hospital.”

When that assessment was eventually done, his wife was finally allowed to leave, although, according to David, a psychiatrist involved wanted to her re-admitted which he appealed and won.

Nancy was at Westview, which is located next door to the Penticton Regional Hospital, between March 2011 and May 2013.

She was admitted involuntarily after Interior Health officials became concerned about her in-home care relating to a previous illness she had been treated for at the hospital “It’s a hell of a long time and I lost a considerable amount of love and time with my wife at home that

DAVID VARCOE in front of the Westview Place south residence building where his wife Nancy spent 30 months after being involuntarily admitted under the Mental Health Act. Interior Health, which operates the facility has since issued an apology to the Varcoes following an investigation by the provincial Ombudsperson's office determined she should not have been kept there against her will.

I can’t recover, that time is gone,” said David. “I could never turn my back on her or shove her out the door, I married her, I have a commitment to her until death do us part and I’m going to honour that part of our marriage.

“It’s hard to live with. I had an awful time being in our house alone for those 30 months not knowing if my wife was going to get out. She got ill, it wasn’t her fault, it’s just God’s way of saying slow down.”

What added to the problem and pushed him even further out of the picture according to David was the document his wife supposedly

signed rescinding the power of attorney, assigned to him.

Subsequently her affairs, financial and otherwise, were turned over to the Public Guardian and Trustee.

David believes that signature was forged by a staff member.

Since that time the Varcoes have received a letter of apology from Interior Health, the Public Guardian’s office and earlier this month, the results of an investigation by the Office of the Ombudsperson where David turned as a last resort in September 2012.

In that document, Ombudsperson officer Rachel Warren wrote, in part:

“…the health authority detained her (Nancy Varcoe) in residential care and charged the corresponding residential fees for over two years without having the proper legal authority to do so.

“Furthermore, it was evident that health authority staff had facilitated the revocation of Ms. Varcoe’s Power of Attorney without providing her with access to legal counsel resulting in the PGT’s (Public Guardian Trustee) involvement in managing her legal and financial affairs.”

It went on to state Interior Health “may have inaccurately represented their role with respect to Ms.

Varcoe’s placement in residential care and their authority to detain her.”

In it’s conclusion, the investigating team found the actions by Interior Health resulted in “significant loss of liberty and financial hardship” to the couple.

After consultation with IH, the ombudsperson made several recommendations including a formal apology and return of residential care fees, developing guidelines and training staff on the health authority’s roles and responsibilities under the Adult Guardianship Act and enhancing policies and addressing the issue of staff witnessing and responding to legal documents.

Since being released from Westview, Nancy, now 60, became ill again and is currently fighting for her life in the intensive care unit of PRH where her husband visits her twice a day when he is able.

According Karen Bloemink, IH executive director residential services/alternate level of care, who wrote the letter of apology to the Varcoes, steps are being taken to avoid similar problems in the future.

“It’s unfortunate in this situation it had to come to a third party like the Ombudsperson in order for us to recognize the errors that had been made here,” said Bloemink. “The staff acted and the care team acted in what they felt were in the best interests of the client and they unfortunately did miss some key steps along the way.”

Varcoe however called the apology letter “two faced” saying at the same time IH is still trying take back money they say they are owed and the matter has still not been resolved.

Western News Staff

A provincial court judge fears events in the tiny village of Coalmont “are spiralling out of control.”

Charges of uttering threats, criminal harassment and causing people to fear for their safety were laid last week against Karl Heinz Gatzke, 73, of Coalmont, a village of just over 100 people located west of Princeton.

Gatzke was released on a $2,500 conditional recognizance Tuesday in Penticton, after breaching a no-contact order from his previous recognizance related to events in 2014. Gatzke was released with the condition that he not return to Coalmont, except for one instance to retrieve his car when he will be escorted by a peace officer.

“I don’t know what’s going on in Coalmont but I’m really concerned about all this,” Judge Gale Sinclair said in court last week at the end of two days of testimony in a case of mischief against Marianna Gatzke – Karl Gatzke’s daughter. “Some respected member of the community, or someone, should talk to some people. We now have multiple, multiple charges ... I really don’t like it.”

About 15 people crowded into the Princeton court house last Thursday and Friday, where Marianna Gatzke, who is acting as her own counsel, examined witnesses including her father. The case was adjourned late Friday morning.

While the mischief charges stem from events in April 2011 and May 2013, much of the testimony centred around subsequent happenings, including an incident where Marianna said she was assaulted and suffered a broken orbital bone, as well as an assault on her father’s vehicle before he was arrested last Thursday.

The trial began in March 2014, when the prosecution presented witnesses who claimed noise coming from Marianna’s power tools and radio, as well as signage and spotlights at her residence, interfered with their enjoyment of their property.

In June last year, several people involved in the trial were injured, as well as charged with assault and aggravated assault, after what RCMP Sgt. Barry Kennedy described as a “brawl” involving pitchforks and shovels.

On Thursday, Karl Gatzke was brought into court in handcuffs and testified with a sheriff sitting beside the witness stand.

Marianna said she fears for her life from “basically all the circle people around my home.”

The father and daughter discussed Princeton RCMP, and put forward a theory that police have conspired with their neighbours against them.

Karl told the court “there’s been no help for years” from police. “They just cover it all up.”

Marianna also called two RCMP officers, a former boss and three neighbours to the stand.

While examining neighbour Sandra Aguillon, Marianna asked about an incident that occurred two days previously in which two men allegedly attacked

her father’s vehicle.

“Did you see them attack my Dad’s car?”

Aguillon responded: “Only when your dad tried to back over them.”

Marianna asked Aguillon if she took pictures of the incident.

“Yes I was, of you,” the witnessed replied.

Marianna asked: “Where was I?” Sandra responded: “Sitting in the car taking pictures of me.”

Following court, in an interview with The Similkameen Spotlight, Sgt. Kennedy said the ongoing feud in Coalmont “has been a real drain on resources” for the detachment. Since 2011, the RCMP has received more than 50 complaints from residents in the town and “we’ve been quite concerned about how volatile the situation is.”

Fourteen complaints have been lodged since last year’s brawl, said Kennedy.

“Everybody is on conditions to not bother each other and not talk to each other and we still get called out.”

In a seemingly unrelated matter last week Rolly Giroux, of Coalmont, appeared in Penticton court and was charged with attempted murder after another Coalmont man, Warren Spence, was struck by a car while talking at the town’s public phone booth Sunday, March 29.

Ole Juul, who published the digital newspaper New Coalmont Courier, said in an email to the Spotlight “I fear that this court case gives a skewed impression of day-to-day life here. This is indeed a colourful community, but not quite as exciting as these recent events might suggest.”

Juul said “for the sake of those directly involved, I hope that some practical solution comes out of this court case. People just want to go about their daily lives without conflict, and the Coalmont community is no different in that respect.”

The trial for the alleged brawl between neighbours will take place in Princeton in August.

A photo of a pigeon, believed by a wildlife rehabilitator to have been abused, is making its rounds on social media.

Manda Maggs said her colleague Gary McDougall brought the pigeon, seen in the South Main Street area, to her attention. In photos McDougall took of the bird, it appears to have a red Christmas-ball sized bell around its neck, some kind of paper glued to its head and missing its tail feathers. It also has a red back, which Maggs said could be from the bird preening itself and rubbing the paint on itself, but there is also the potential the bird may have been painted with something.

“It is very strange.

Wind farm concerns aired Dan Walton

Western News Staff

British Columbia’s electrical grid will be given a boost of guiltfree energy upon the completion of a wind farm near Summerland.

BC Hydro announced on April 15 that the Summerland Wind Power Generation Project would be one of three new wind farms entering into the provinces electrical utility service.

“Wind technology is growing and advancing quickly,” said Penticton MLA Dan Ashton. “Big or small, each wind project in our province contributes to B.C.’s clean-energy future.”

The other two projects announced this week will see wind farms constructed near West Kelowna and Taylor. All three projects will be taken on by Zero Emission Energy Development’s (ZED) from White Rock.

According to ZED, the Summerland site will produce 15 Megawatts upon completion, which is enough power to supply around 2,500 homes.

“ZED intends to develop the project in order to supply clean, renewable, greenhouse gas-free power to BC Hydro,” reads a press release from the ZED website.

Based on the proposal put forth in 2013, the turbines will be 95 metres tall at the hub and 50-metre blades will be attached.

In finding the best locations to catch the wind, Ashton said that interest began swirling around the Summerland site many years ago while he was serving as the Chair of the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen.

“There was a lot of interaction with local government,” he said.

“These companies were looking everywhere to find a source of reliable, consistent wind when they put test sites up and they make their decisions based on that.”

He said that test sites were also launched in the Similkameen Valley and near Keremeos.

Ashton said that an even flow of moderate wind is more valuable

When the studies were first done there, the proponents of the project admitted that there were potential issues with migrating birds.

than sporadically strong winds.

And having spent his whole life exploring the bush behind Summerland, Ashton has first-hand knowledge of the regions wind flow.

“What you want is a steady, consistent wind value, and apparently that’s what they found behind Summerland.”

Bob Handfield, past president of South Okanagan Naturalist Club, said that the club was taken by surprise upon hearing of the April 15 announcement.

“We recall the public hearings a few years ago and then there was nothing.”

Concerns from the naturalists primarily focused around the danger to migrating birds that the farm may pose.

“When the studies were first done there, the proponents of the project admitted that there were potential issues with migrating birds,” he said. “But we’ve heard nothing since then to know if they’ve addressed those concerns.”

Handfield said that not all wind farms are overly dangerous for migrating birds – the bulk of bird deaths are caused by poorly placed and ill-operated projects.

“Wind farms in bad sites are notorious for killing birds,” he said. “Others, in the right areas and operated properly, have a pretty good track record.”

He said that the club also worries about unintended consequences, perhaps from the construction of new roads leading to

the site.

Handfield said that volunteers will be actively monitoring the wind farm’s progress.

Comparing the wind projects to the B.C.’s strong network of hydroelectric generation along the Kootenay River, Ashton said that the province’s production of wind energy is expected to grow for lifetimes, with emphasis on the plural.

“The world’s changing, and we’re so fortunate that we have hydro power, but now with wind and solar power coming on stream, that seems to be headed in a new direction,” said Ashton.

“We’re getting away from burning (non-renewables). Wind farms are going to be with us for eons I’m sure.”

Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines, echoed a similar sentiment.

“In B.C., we are fortunate to have hydro reservoirs that enable us to integrate variable wind output into the system and provide firm energy supply.”

President and CEO of BC Hydro Jessica McDonald also lauded the reliability of hydro, but spoke of the need for more green energy options.

“In B.C., more than 95 per cent of the power produced each year is clean power,” she said. “New wind projects add to this total and further diversify the clean, renewable energy supply that powers our homes and economy.”

The project is expected to break ground in the late spring or early summer. It will require 18 months of construction, which will offer 15 to 80 contract employment opportunities. Once operational, about 10 permanent positions, full and part-time, will be needed for its 25-year expected lifespan.

The three new projects will add to the four wind generating farms that are currently operating throughout the province of B.C., in addition to another project in Tumbler Ridge which is under construction.

Interior Health issues apology From VARCOE on PG.1 About the allegation of the forged document, Bloemink said there was no evidence that was the case but there are ongoing discussions about the matter. Bloemink added because she feels staff were acting in the best interests of Nancy, “disciplinary action would not be appropriate but rather education and support.”

Although she could not speak on the specific case of the Varcoes, B.C. Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie said what happened is not an isolated incident especially among members of the older population. She was aware of cases where people were sectioned against their will.

“At the end of the day as a so-

For his part, David Varcoe now has one goal in mind.

“I’m really adamant about educating people how to deal with

their rights, I’m not interested in recovering (financially) as much as I am in teaching,” he said. “This is a terrible thing to go through.

“If the ones following us can learn from this, then I’ve accomplished something.”

ROSACEA RESCUE Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterized by facial redness across the cheeks, nose and/or forehead.

Other symptoms such as small pimples, dilation of the superficial blood vessels and burning and stinging sensations may also develop if left untreated.

Special cleansers and face creams should be used to prevent further irritation and improve the redness. At Riverside Pharmasave, we recommend Avene’s Antirougeurs line.

The Redness-relief Dermo-cleansing milk soothes and calms the skin as it removes impurities (including makeup) and cleanses. It contains extracts to improve circulation which helps to reduce redness and the milky texture prevents tightness. It should be used twice daily. In the morning the cleanser should be followed by the Antirougeurs Jour Emulsion. This product helps to tone facial circulation and reduces redness and the sensation

of heat on the skin. Antirougeurs Jour also has a hydrating effect, provides SPF 20 protection and contains green pigments to help diffuse the skin’s red colour. Lastly, Avene’s Antirougeurs Fort Concentrate for Chronic Redness cream is recommended for people with severe redness and visible blood capillaries. It reduces the appearance of these vessels and helps to prevent the formation of new ones. It can be applied morning and/or evening to affected areas only.

Further management of rosacea includes avoiding “triggers” that may cause the condition to worsen.

Common triggers include eating hot or spicy foods or drinking hot drinks, drinking alcohol, being too hot or too cold and stress or other strong emotions.

EDITORIAL

opinion

Clark’s comments We’ve all had times when we say something stupid, or that we later regret for one reason or another.

The usual thing to do is either apologize and move on, or at least pretend it never happened. Unless you’re the B.C. Liberal government; then you make it part of public policy.

On Friday, after a day of protests over funding cuts to the school system, Education Minister Peter Fassbender supported Premier Christy Clark’s earlier comment that school districts could simply slash “the low-hanging fruit” out of their budgets.

Clark’s comment, made as she delivered a provincial budget which asked the province’s school districts to come up with $29 million in cuts — while claiming to be increasing funding to education — was met with disbelief from school administrators, trustees and parents.

From their side, school boards across the province, including Okanagan Skaha, responded that there are no easy cuts left to make. That’s pretty much common sense, taking into account the last decade of cuts school districts have been making to balance budget shortfalls.

When you consider the number of people that turned out for a provincial day of protests against the cuts last Friday you have to wonder how Fassbender could continue to support Clark’s low-hanging fruit ideology by saying that “there’s nothing to be gained by perpetuating a myth that our public education system is underfunded and broken.”

Over the years, local school districts have been able to accomplish amazing things even with shrinking budgets, and will no doubt PENTICTON WESTERN continue to do so. But that is not the same as saying they are adequately funded, or can cut any more out of their budgets without pain.

It’s time for the provincial government to stop trying to sell the line that they are increasing funding to the school system. The cuts at the grassroots level have been going on too long for that to be believable.

Sidelined Vees player is still the hero I can’t help but think of Daniel Ruettiger, who inspired the one of the best sports movies of all-time Rudy, when it comes to Penticton Vees cocaptain Cody DePourcq.

While there are differences between the two, they have one thing in common — they are smaller athletes who go the extra kilometre all the time.

The Vees lost the services of their relentless co-captain after he took a slapshot to the face from a Nanaimo Clippers player about 10 feet away that broke his jaw in two spots in Game 2 of the BCHL Final.

“I was surprised that he actually got up. He went right off the ice,” said DePourcq’s father John, who immediately knew the extent of the injury.

After two days in the hospital, first in Penticton, then Kelowna, the 19-year-old now has two plates in his jaw.

John, who helped the Penticton Knights win a national championship in 1986, said the family was lucky that their son didn’t have to have his jaw wired shut. He figures after about three weeks his son will have more movement and won’t have to go six to eight weeks using a straw.

“At least he can move his mouth a little bit,” said John.

“He can talk.”

The Vees were ranked No. 6 in the Canadian Junior Hockey League at the end of the season and continue their pursuit of the BCHL’s Fred Page Cup.

Emanuel Sequeira From the sidelines They erased a 2-0 series lead against the Clippers, ranked 16th, as they responded to a coaches challenge after losing DePourcq.

“We have challenged our guys to bring the same work ethic and heart to the game that he brings every game,” said Vees coach Fred Harbinson.

“He’s been with us for four years and the heart and soul of the team.”

Before DePourcq’s injury, which don’t forget the team is also without Lewis ZerterGossage with an upper body injury, the group was motivated to win an RBC Cup ring.

Every time they visited the DePourcq household they wanted to see his 2012 championship ring.

“They’re excited when they see it. Nobody wants to touch it, just in case,” said DePourcq before the BCHL playoffs

started. “That’s the fun thing about it.”

The motivation has just found another level. While in Nanaimo, DePourcq’s jersey was hung up in the dressing room at Frank Crane Arena.

Vees assistant captain Jack Ramsey, called Rammer by teammates, said it served as a reminder to give everything.

“Before every period when we go out, we see his jersey,” said Ramsey, a Chicago Blackhawks draft pick, on Tuesday.

“It puts it in your mind to have that mindset that Cody has.”

Ramsey already had a ton of respect for DePourcq, who went he first met him in training camp last season, and wondered if he was on the team because of his size. The respect is greater now.

“He just solidifies that every day. He’s one of the smaller guys in the league,” said Ramsey. “He probably has the hardest work ethic. He’s the toughest guy to go up against in the corner.”

I always remember a play from DePourcq’s rookie season when they won the RBC Cup. The Vees played the Prince George Spruce Kings and DePourcq burned 6-foot4, 220 pound defenceman Trevor Esau in a puck battle along the corner, got the puck and found a wide open Mario Lucia in the slot. Lucia onetimed a shot top corner. It’s impossible not to love the way DePourcq plays. Players who

never quit have a way of motivating others. When something bad happens to them, an inner determination from teammates finds another level. They want to perform beyond what they have done for that teammate.

John said his son watched both games on the Internet and was happy they are winning, and received text messages from the team.

“He was mumbling, he was trying to think of what he could say to the boys before the game on Monday,” said John, adding that they have received supportive comments from the community and said that his son appreciates it and thanks fans as it is helping with his recovery. “He actually wanted to go to the game.”

DePourcq may go to Nanaimo for Friday’s game with his father if he’s feeling well enough.

“He cares so much for his team. Wants to contribute and help out,” said John, who was at the game with his wife Lorri when the injury occurred.

As for Rudy, his resolve led him to live his dream of playing football for Notre Dame.

DePourcq, with the same noquit attitude no doubt would love nothing more than to join his teammates on the ice and hoist the RBC Cup. His spirit might just carry the team there.

Preserve Munson Mountain

The city of Penticton and its citizens have a treasure — 10 acres of pristine land with stunning, panoramic views.

The bold, grey cliffside of Munson Mountain rises to the west; rolling hills of vineyards and orchards stretch out through the valley below; and Okanagan Lake shines like a gem to the north. This is a million dollar property with a world-class view. The people of Penticton hold this precious land in the palm of their hands.

It deserves to be cared for and developed thoughtfully.

Unfortunately, a hastily-made plan to use the Munson Mountain property as a BMX park is underway. The Penticton BMX Club would like to install a track and host national events, with over one thousand competitors, on the property. Penticton city council has supported this plan,

contingent upon approval from the Agricultural Land Commission. Additionally, the council has agreed to donate city funds to the BMX Club.

This project is steamrolling full-force ahead in spite of the fact that no environmental impact studies have been done; no neighbours have been notified; none of the farmers who grow crops nearby have been consulted; nearby wineries and bed and breakfast business owners have not been consulted; no traffic impact assessment has been done and no long-term-development plan the land is in place. Would the BMX events bring revenue to the city? Maybe, but no marketing surveys or financial outlooks have been presented to the public.

In spite of this lack of public consultation and poor planning, Mayor Jakubeit has announced that the public hearing for this

proposal could be held as early as May 4. A final decision on the matter would be made in the very same meeting.

Should Penticton’s rare treasure — Munson Mountain property — be hastily given over to a small, special interest group? Friends of Munson Mountain believe that this area should be developed carefully and thoughtfully, with the needs of the whole Penticton community in mind.

If you agree, now is the time to act.

If you live in Penticton or vacation in Penticton, please let your voice be heard.

You can do this by contacting the city council members, writing an article/letter to the local newspapers, or joining Friends of Munson Mountain on Facebook. Munson Mountain needs you.

It is an opportunity to learn more about the relay, meet the Penticton Unit volunteers and later listen to the music of Boom Chicken.

Thank you to all the volunteers who help make our community a better place.

Vaseux and Osoyoos lakes are no longer protected under the new act).

Our oceans did make the short list for protection in the new act. How ironic then, that despite protected designation the Pacific was left vulnerable to the 2,700 litres of bunker fuel that leaked into English Bay last week.

In 2013 the Kitsilano Coast Guard station, which could have responded to the spill within six minutes, was closed. Instead, it took six hours to begin the cleanup process.

The Vancouver fuel spill is a wake up call for Canadians. What if the accident involved a tanker, carrying 600,000 barrels of crude oil? It was only months ago that the disabled Russian cargo ship Sumishir was adrift off the B.C. coast near Haida Gwaii.

Disaster was narrowly averted, when after 20 hours a U.S. tug reached the Sumishir and towed her safely to port.

The conservative claim that 80 per cent of the spill has been cleaned up doesn’t add up for Frederick E. Moxey. The 35-year coast guard veteran and former commander of the closed Kitsilano Coast Guard station says it would be unusual to recover more than 30 per cent of a spill.

I am convinced that Canadians want and deserve better. It is time for better stewardship of our land and water, and time for transparency and honesty.

When Samuel Johnson declared in the late 1700’s that “Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel,” he accurately foresaw the manner in which our Prime Minister and his henchmen, the Minister of Defense, and the Commanders of our Armed Forces have managed to convince many naïve men and women to join in foreign battles, whose result has been only to enrage those countries to retaliate against us on our own soil.

And who can blame them?

It is the marked worthiness of most people in Canada who insist that in trying to establish a conduct of an “eye for an eye” only results in bloodshed in both countries.

Why not, instead, hold out our hand in peace? Why not take the millions of dollars we plan to spend to rebuild our forces over the next decade, while trying to become Harper’s “warrior nation,” and which only feeds the off-shore bank accounts of our captains of industry, and spend the money on food and shelter for the poor within the warring factions of the Middle East?

Peace there will only be attained if all of us extend the hand of friendship. Peace will only be attained if we rid ourselves of our warhawks in our military and the war mongerers among our politicians in Ottawa.

Volunteers mean everything

It is National Volunteer Week and I am a volunteer with the Canadian Cancer Society as well as a volunteer member of the organizing committee for Penticton’s Relay for Life which is scheduled this year for Saturday, May 30 from 11: a.m. to 11 p.m.

I volunteer because I value our community and it is important to make a difference in the lives of others.

The Relay for Life is a fundraising event where Canadians across the country join together in the fight against cancer. Although the event takes place in May, volunteers are busy now preparing for the day.

On April 18, at 5:30 p.m., a kick-off event is taking place at the Barley Mill, a generous supporter of the relay. Along with your choice of hamburger (beef, chicken or veggie) and salad bar, there are door prizes, a 50/50 draw, and silent auctions where you can bid on a helicopter ride, a car detailing package, a golf package at Fairview, a $100

NDP has strong support

In a recent letter Joe Sawchuck of Duncan (Penticton Western News, April 8) suggests that the NDP is a “dying party.”

Although I do not have the same gift to predict the future that Mr. Sawchuck presents, I can share some recent trends.

Under the leadership of Jack Layton and now Tom Mulcair, the federal NDP has increased both its share of the popular vote and seats in Parliament.

Conversely, the Conservatives have dramatically increased their membership in the Senate to a majority of 55 (sorry, that should be 52 as three Harper appointees have been expelled from caucus).

Mr. Mulcair’s principled performance during Parliamentary question period continues to boost his approval, while the third party leader consistently under performs.

At the federal level, the last election awarded the NDP 103 seats, almost a 200 per cent increase. The NDP captured second place in more ridings than any other party. The NDP is the party best positioned to replace the Harper government in the next election.

In conclusion, the NDP enjoys stronger support in the 18-40 year-old age group.

This bodes well for the party’s future popularity, contrary to Mr. Sawchuk’s prophesy.

Canadians deserve better

Kaitlyn (last name withheld) is an 18-yearold that has shown remarkable growth. Her strength and courage have astounded her nominator. She was a victim of bullying since she was 13 and had to change schools several times because of it. After being homeschooled for a period of time, she had enough. Kaitlyn went back to school with her head held high, which her nominator said was not easy because the bullies were relentless. Despite being behind in school because of changing out of schools and being homeschooled, she persevered and got herself caught up and will be graduating on time. Kaitlyn inspires to go to post-secondary school and get a degree in psychology so she can help kids who have gone through difficult time like her. She wants to be the person who “understands.”

Vote on key piece of property Dale Boyd

Western News Staff

Residents in the Okanagan Falls/Kaleden area are getting a chance to vote on the purchase of a key piece of property when it comes to future plans for Okanagan Falls.

waterfront on the eastern end of Christy Memorial Provincial Park, as well as a piece of a neighbourhood park in the Heritage Hills/Vintage Views subdivision.

The offer from the RDOS to purchase the properties has been accepted, however an affirmation vote must first take place before moving forward.

The April 25 vote will ask citizens to choose in favour or against this statement: Are you in favour of the Regional District Okanagan Similkameen providing authorization to borrow $950,000 to purchase of parkland within the Okanagan Falls recreation service area.

Voting will be held on April 25 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Okanagan Falls Elementary School Library 1141 Cedar St. Area D director Tom Siddon said the district will borrow $950,000 over 20 years at a cost of about $30 a year to the average home owner if the vote to purchase the property passes.

The property fits in with the future development plans for the revitalization of the town centre in Okanagan Falls, a process that is about to enter its second phase, however it is dependent on many factors.

“If we don’t buy the property, if people don’t support that, then we’re going to have to look at some kind of different version of the plan, so that’s why we want to get this question out of the way and then we will proceed with the next round of discussion regarding the town centre revitalization,” Siddon said.

The RDOS retained consultants a year ago to look at the centre of the community and formulate a road map for how area D2 should develop.

Siddon said there are many options for parks and recreational use of the area including a nonmotorized public marina accommodating paddle boating kayaks and nonmotorized boats. Siddon said if the community was supportive of the idea, there could also be the development of a restaurant or pub.

Chiarelli on the bill for the Dream Festival Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

When Rita Chiarelli says Pierre Couture will give a musician the shirt off his back, she’s speaking from experience.

During one of her performances at the Dream Café, Chiarelli took a liking for the shirt Couture, who owns the Dream Café with his wife Debra, was sporting.

“Pierre used to wear these really flamboyant gypsy shirts. He had these incredible shirts,” said Chiarelli. “So I got the audience to chant with me that he should give me his shirt.”

Pierre gave in, stripped off his shirt and handed it over. But on Chiarelli’s next visit, Pierre made sure he wasn’t going to lose another shirt.

“The next time he wore a black turtleneck,” said Chiarelli, laughing. “A silly moment, but just a lot of fun.”

Chiarelli, dubbed the goddess of Canadian blues by CBC’s Shelagh Rogers, is one of the performers coming to Penticton on May 1 and 2 for the Dream Festival, part of an all-star lineup turning out to help support the Coutures as they create a new future for the club and step back from active management.

She is an accomplished singersongwriter, a gifted vocalist and a skilled musician and has been performing at the Dream Café for more than a decade, starting back when the club was across the street and upstairs from its present location on Front Street.

“It was a much smaller place but it was still very magical,” said Chiarelli, adding that part of the magic came from Pierre and Debra.

“It’s one of my favourite places to play,” said Chiarelli. “The audi-

ence is there to listen to the music and appreciate the artists that come through. You are always treated well and Pierre and Debra have always been great.”

Like many other performers, Chiarelli sees the Dream Café as a unique venue that needs to be preserved. “There has just never been moment of a bad experience in there. It’s got such a great reputation because it has such a great vibe,” said Chiarelli, adding that there is no reason an artist wouldn’t want to return for more gigs.

“I think it starts with Pierre and Debra. They are people that love art and artists. Right from the moment you walk in you have this vibe from the people. It’s not just about dollars and cents.

“I think that appreciation is something that rubs off on the audience as well.”

When it came to playing at the Dream Festival, Chiarelli said it wasn’t a matter of choice.

“They asked me and I would just never say no to them,” said Chiarelli.

“They have just been so good to me and to all of the artists that perform at the Dream Cafe. If you call, I will come.”

The line up for the Dream Festival boasts 15 performers, including Jim Byrnes, Michael Kaeshammer, Bill Bourne, Gary Comeau and Rick Fines. Each of them will perform a short set, leading up to a grand finale on May 1, and then come back the next night to repeat the experience.

“From start to finish, I think it is going to be a pretty extraoridany thing. I think people are in for a really great treat,” said Chiarelli, adding that just the number of talented performers willing to perform at the festival says something about the Dream Café.

“I am really looking forward to it. Every single person that is playing is just fantastic,” said Chiarelli. “Just for them to be able to assemble everybody like that speaks for Pierre and Debra and the Dream Café and Penticton and the people that come out to the shows.

“It just speaks for everything they have created there. All of us are excited to come out.”

Western News Staff

The second half of the 89th Penticton Kiwanis Music Festival completed this week, the competition is headed for its final stage, the highlight concerts, which are coming up on April 24 and 25.

Competition at the festival has been spread over two months, with music and vocal performances being evaluated in March, while April saw classical and stage dance performances, along with musical theatre and speech arts.

The festival is the culmination of months of preparation by students and provides an opportunity for these young artists to perform their achievements, and receive a constructive and positive evaluation.

By the conclusion of this year’s festival, music, dance and speech arts adjudicators saw 1,350 entries from Penticton and area, Summerland, Kelowna, Vernon, Kamloops, Oliver, Osoyoos, Keremeos and Cawston.

The finest selections from piano, strings, classical voice, choral, dance, musical theatre and speech arts will be chosen to perform in the dance and music highlights concerts, while the most promising young performers are chosen by the adjudicators to continue on to the Performing Arts B.C. Provincial Festival, which is being hosted in Powell River this May. Organizers have made changes to the scheduled dates for the highlights concerts.

The dance highlights concert will now take place on April 24 at 7 p.m., and the music highlights concert on April 25 at 6:30 p.m. Cleland Theatre is the venue for both concerts.

Tickets are available at the Penticton Arts Council office (Leir House) and at the door, $10 per person, $25 for a family of four. Tickets purchased for the original dates can be exchanged at the door on the evening of the desired concert.

Make-Up

The average woman applies more than 500 chemicals daily.

Bonus bottles available LIMITED TIME ONLY

Nail Polish

Every day millions of women slap on body moisturizer, apply lipstick or mascara without a second thought about what they are putting on their skin. A study from the UK claims that the average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day during her beauty routine.

Why should you be concerned?

Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preservative in everything from toothpaste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fragranced” beauty products such as lotions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens creating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate cancer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS.

Xeno-Detox Every Day

EstroSense is a comprehensive liver detoxifier that gently supports the elimination of harmful environmental toxins and helps to bring back hormone synergy. Along with other key ingredients, EstroSense contains milk thistle which is one of the most researched herbs when it comes to liver detoxification and liver cell regeneration. Curcumin, indole-3-carbinol, sulforaphane, calcium-d-glucarate, green tea extract, lycopene and rosemary extract are all very effective for supporting healthy hormone balance.

SOUTH OKANAGAN EVENTS CENTRE

Penticton was asked if they wanted to get rocked, and the answer was a resounding yes.

I can say without a doubt that U.K. rockers Def Leppard brought in the most people I’ve ever seen in the South Okanagan Events Centre at one time.

The floor was packed and once the crowd stood up they didn’t return to their seats for the rest of the show.

Def Leppard is the first of a three-pronged British invasion of the SOEC, with Brit Floyd and Ringo Starr coming to Penticton in the fall. If this show was any indication, the invasion will

be quite successful.

Most of the original line up was intact, including one-armed drummer Rick Allen, and the glam metal veterans sounded like they hadn’t aged a day

Open 7 Days a Week 9:00am - 5:30pm

since hits like Let’s Get Rocked, Pour Some Sugar On Me and Armageddon It first hit the radio.

Lead vocalist Joe Elliott still hits the high notes with precision and power blending well

with the high-gain solos from Phil Collen that led to many an air guitar in the crowd.

You realize how much of a hit machine Def Leppard was when hearing best of tour. I wouldn’t consider myself a mega-fan, but I found myself singing along and knowing most of the words to songs I hadn’t heard in years.

The pace would only slow briefly for a few slower songs, and a solo acoustic effort from Elliott featuring a brief Neil Young shout out because we’re in Canada, but the performance was hardhitting and high energy.

The initial set ended with Pour Some Sugar On Me, arguably the highlight of the show, and I personally wondered how they would follow that up. As said before, these guys are hit machines and after the capacity crowd screamed for an encore, they returned with Rock of Ages and Photograph capping off a hard-rocking set.

THIS IS RETIREMENT LIVING AS IT SHOULD BE.

Both Harry Potter and Sneezy the Wolf will be facing trial at the Penticton courthouse next week.

Provincial Crown Counsel and members of the local bar will be joining high school and middle school students for two mock trials on April 17 in celebration of Law Week 2015.

Harry Potter will take the stand first at 10 a.m. where he will be prosecuted for culpable homicide, having been charged with second degree murder for his involve-

ment in the death of Professor Quirrell, an instructor at Hogwarts Academy.

Next to take the stand at 1 p.m. will be Sneezy the Wolf, who is charged with huffing and puffing and blowing down the houses of the Three Little Pigs.

Follow the signs at the Penticton Courthouse on 100 Main St. to find the trials.

Law Week is a national event held annually in April celebrating the signing of Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms. First held in 1983, Law Week provides an opportunity for those in the

profession to educate the public about the role that lawyers and the judiciary serve in guaranteeing an open, independent and unbiased judicial system.

Law Week events are held in communities throughout British Columbia in April. In B.C., Law Week is a collaborative project organized through the partnership of the B.C. Branch of the Canadian Bar Association, the Continuing Legal Education Society of British Columbia, the Law Foundation of British Columbia, the Law Society of British Columbia and the Vancouver Bar Association.

A Penticton woman’s passion for rescuing dogs has been ignited by a recycling contest.

“It seemed like a win-win,” said Karla Brandt, of the recycling contest which is a fundraiser for charity. “It could potentially help rescue dogs in need as well as save recyclable products from the landfill.”

Brandt, a volunteer with Boston Terrier Rescue Canada, is helping her cause take a solid lead in the contest, called Febreze Frenzy and run by TerraCycle Canada.

The team to accumulate the most points will win a $3,000 donation to a charity, non-profit, or school of their choosing. To collect points, items need to be mailed to Toronto for specialized recycling – not the type of products that can be pick up through curb side recycling.

The contest spans seven months, and is coming to an end on April 30. As of press deadline, Boston Terrier Rescue Canada held a massive lead across the country, having registered 150.21 pounds of air and home care waste. The next closest team was at 40.67 pounds.

“This is the first time that any of this stuff has really been re-

cycled in Canada,” said Vanessa Farquharson, communications manager at TerraCycle. “We’re looking for cookie and cracker wrappers, coffee containers, home cleaning waste, and all of the packaging that comes with products like air care cartridges and Swiffer wipes.”

Carolyn Hawkins and Rebecca Davis have also been instrumental in the campaign, Brandt said, along with many other supporters and adoptive families from the area. To take their lead even further, Brandt is asking for the public’s help in fulfilling

one last shipment. She will be at Bosley’s Pet Food Plus on April 19 from 1 to 3 p.m. to collect applicable recyclables, and her visit coincides with National Adoption Weekend.

“Also we have a groomer offering $5 nail trims for dogs and cats with proceeds being donated to Boston Terrier Rescue Canada,” she said.

Brandt has been volunteering for Boston Terrier Rescue Canada since 2013, which began shortly after she introduced a Boston Terrier puppy to her family. She fell in love with the breed and wanted more. She then asked to foster recently rescued pups.

“This gave us the opportunity to test the waters without commitment,” she said.

Once involved with the rescue community, she discovered Boston Terrier Rescue Canada and added two more dogs to her family.

Volunteers like Brandt are central to the charity’s functionality. Boston Terrier Rescue Canada rely on a network of dedicated volunteer foster homes across the country because they don’t have a central shelter facility.

There’s no fee to take part in the contest, with the financial burden of shipping undertaken by the United Parcel Service and Staples.

HOW TO KEEP A-MOVIN AND A-SHAKIN

NANAIMO CLIPPERS goaltender Guillaume Decelles makes a save on Penticton Vees forward Dakota Conroy during Tuesday’s Game 4 at Frank Crane Arena in Nanaimo. Conroy collected four assists in an 8-5 Vees win.

Blue-collar power play works Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

Halfway through the BCHL’s Fred Page Cup championship, the Penticton Vees’ power-play has more life.

The Vees entered the Fred Page Cup with a power play that struck eight times on 66 chances. After going six-for-21 against the Nanaimo Clippers, it’s now at 14-for-87.

“I think we have more of a blue-collar attitude towards it,” said Vees assistant captain Steen Cooper.

“We’re not being too fancy and trying for the perfect play all the time. We’re keeping it simple and getting pucks to the net.

Crashing and getting rebound goals. It has worked out so far.”

Vees coach Fred Harbinson said they have simplified their approach and told the players they want to be on the plus side of things on the special teams. That has been the case as they have limited the Clippers to one

goal on 12 chances. That lone goal came in their 8-5 win at Nanaimo’s Frank Crane Arena on Tuesday.

“Then we found a way to get two on the other side, it was good, especially at a critical time,” said Harbinson.

“Getting the five-onthree goal was massive giving us a two-goal (42) lead. I thought it was the big turning point of the game.”

For the Vees it’s about having a shooting mentality as Harbinson said they don’t need an open net to score.

“We need to get pucks to the net, look for rebounds,” he said. “Look for tips. Just create havoc around the net.”

For the rest of the series, Harbinson said they have to be disciplined as they don’t want to give the Clippers too many chances on the power play. They are blocking shots, winning battles, net front battles.

TYSON JOST,17, has scored back-to-back game-winning goal for the Penticton Vees.

“You have to find a way to get it done and our guys are doing it right now,” said Harbinson.

Cooper said with the skill the Clippers have up front, it’s important to stay in their lane and block those shots, but also communicate well.

“The guys have really buckled down,” said Cooper, who scored power play goals in Games 3 and 4. “It helps having such a good goalie like (Hunter) Miska back there making a couple big stops.”

After returning to the

South Okanagan Events Centre for Game 5 (check www.pentictonwesternnews.com for game story), the Vees hopped back on the bus for Chilliwack where they spent the night before making their way to Nanaimo. Cooper said the back-and-forth travel is something the players battle through as it can be hard on the body being on the bus for a long trip.

“Playing back-toback nights, it’s something we don’t really face during the regular season,” he said. “Do little things right and we should be fine. It will be a new experience for a lot of the guys. I think the guys are excited and should be looking forward to it.”

The younger players can also lean on the veterans to learn how to deal with things while keeping a business-like attitude, Cooper added.

Pinnacles FC getting World Cup exposure Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

SHUÉME, the mascot for the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup, gets the spotlight at the South Okanagan Events Centre during Game 1 of the BCHL Final between the Penticton Vees and Nanaimo Clippers. Organizers from the FIFA event were touring the Okanagan to promote the international soccer championship. They visited the Pinnacles FC youth soccer association and announced that two players, selected by Pinnacles FC, will serve as player escorts during the quarter-final match of the Women’s World Cup at B.C. Place on June 27. This initiative is being done throughout the country as six Canadian cities host the tournament.

Mark Brett/Western News

When the quarter-final match for the FIFA Women’s World Cup hits the pitch on June 27 at B.C. Place , two Pinnacles FC players will be right there.

Rita Rogers, venue general manager for the FIFA women’s world cup, was in Penticton April 11 with Shuéme, this year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup mascot, touring the Okanagan and to announce the players will act as players escorts.

“It’s an unexpected treat,” said executive director and head coach of Pinnacles FC Ezra Cremers.

“It is a fantastic memorable life time experience.”

“It was kind of a fun announcement to make. it went really well, lots of interest,” said Rogers, who made the informal presentation to the large crowd at Kings Park. “We want the entire province to be represented as best as possible. Reach out to the Okanagan region. We felt that it was important.

We’ve been working quite closely with Pinnacles FC as they’ve been quite supportive of the competition. We’ve ideally been trying to broaden the involvement to incorporate communities outside of the Metro Vancouver area which is why we selected the club for this opportunity.”

The players (aged 6-10) will get to walk onto the field with the captains of the national teams, stand with them during the anthems and pre-game activities, and will be shown on the international broadcast. Once the opening ceremony has concluded, the children will be able to hang out with the other youth programme participants and watch the game, enjoy food and have time to play in the Youth Programme room while always being chaperoned.

Cremers said that they will draw names to se-

lect the players as it’s the best way without creating problems. Cremers said it was fantastic to have Rogers and the FIFA representatives visit them.

“Usually bigger cities get this attention,” said Cremers, who welcomed the community to come to the club house and watch the tournament games. “They showed up for first day of mini soccer with over 100 people.”

While in Penticton, Rogers and Shuéme watched a Pinnacles FC practice, provided soccer families with information on the tournament and attended the BCHL Final Game 1 between the Penticton Vees and Nanaimo Clippers. They also had a tent in the concourse of the South Okanagan Events Centre. Rogers also hopes that families will be able to find games to attend. Rogers said it will be up to Pinnacles FC to select the players to participate in the opening ceremony.

The FIFA women’s World Cup is the largest sporting event in the world and is expected to be a huge source of inspiration to the next generation of Canadian women’s players when it is held in Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Montreal and Moncton June 6 to July 5.

Each of the local organizing committees are tasked with finding youth players to act as player escorts. For ticket information, check www.FIFA. com/Canada2015, which also provides the full tournament schedule with prices including single match pricing and group pricing. Groups of 21 or more receive a 25 per cent discount.

Harlequins try to defend title Emanuel Sequeira Western News Staff

A return to the Saratoga Cup begins Saturday for the Penticton Harlequins men’s rugby club.

The Harlequins, defending Okanagan Rugby Union champs, are hosting the Salmon Arm Manthers at McNicoll Park at 1 p.m. to open the Okanagan Rugby Union season.

Daniel Hatch of the Harlequins said the squad looks good despite losing key players from last year.

The group is bolstered by the return of Brad Martin and Brendan Messier.

“The numbers have been looking all right.

The team is looking pretty strong,” said Hatch, adding that the team will be coached by the veteran players.

Martin and Messier were on the Harlequins when they won the Saratoga Cup three years ago.

“He will be a big force on the field,” said Hatch of Messier.

Last year the Harlequins didn’t get a chance to win back the Saratoga Cup from defending champions Elk Valley Bulls after the Williams Lake Rustlers

blew an 8-7 lead to lose 2524. The championship was played in a round-robin format after the Kats from the Lower Mainland didn’t make the trip.

Hatch said the group made strides last year and want to build on that with their youth and athleticism.

“There is still a bitter taste in our mouth from the Saratoga Cup,” he said.

In opening the season against the Manthers, the Harlequins defeated them both times last season and Hatch believes that will make the visitors motivated.

“They are obviously going to be hungry,” he said. “We won the Okangan Rugby Union championship last year.

They are going to want to knock off the king.”

Off the field, the club plans to get more involved in the community with hopes that it will be reciprocated on game days.

“It’s a great electrifying atmosphere to come watch,” he said, adding that one of the fundraisers they will support is the Have a Heart Radiothon.

Engines ready to roar on track Western News Staff

There were tight finishes in the categories of the Penticton Speedway last season.

None moreso than in hit to pass as Norm Swerdfeger edged Kale Shaw by seven points for the championship.

“It was pretty intense actually. It came down to the last race and whether I was going to win it or not,” said Swerdfeger, a traffic control supervisor for Central Interior Traffic Control. “Kale Shaw was bit-

ing on my heels pretty good.”

Speedway owner Johnny Aantjes said the finish added excitement to the year.

“It’s always nice when the competition level is fairly competitive and balanced,” he said, adding you don’t know who will pull it off.

A new season begins on Sunday at 2 p.m. and Swerdfeger feels there is a good chance that closeness will carry over. see SPEEDWAY on pg. 22

This season is about building a new identity for the Princess Margaret Mustangs senior girls soccer team.

John Buckley, who guided the Mustangs to a provincial championship last season on home turf, said it’s time for this group to move on and make a name for themselves.

“This group is going to be a hard-working team that has players that can develop skill sets that are going to be attacking,” said Buckley, following a 7-0 win against the Summerland Rockets Tuesday at Maggie that improved the team to 2-0.

“They need to share the ball quickly. Keep the ball in possession. Choose their moments when to attack.”

Buckley saw some of those things on Tuesday as the players battled cold, heavy winds, and said his team played well.

The weather conditions, according to Buckley, set the style they want to play back, though he admitted it was better in the second half.

“The result was indicative of their effort,” said Buckley. “Lots of chances were created.”

“It was really cold but I think we did really good,” said Mustangs cocaptain Taylor Corrie. “We improved from when we played in Oliver last time, just possession, keeping control of the ball.”

Corrie said the group liked how calm they were

“Having the ball control was the difference,” she said.

dence. While the team lost a few players who graduated last season, younger ones are stepping up.

“The biggest thing is the belief in ourselves,” said Castle, who has confidence they can win the valley’s. “We have the heart and the drive to win it.”

Stronger competition at Speedway see SPEEDWAY from pg.21 Swerdfeger watched Shaw practice recently and said the car possesses pretty good speed.

"I imagine it's going to be a little bit tighter this year between competitors," he said, adding it will create more excitement for fans. "The faster we get going the more wrecks happen."

"I think we're going to have a really good competitive year, especially in the street stock class (Chris Graham beat Jesse Carvell by 10 points), the hit to pass and the hornets (Matthew Campbell won the championship by 40 points over Pieter VanDerbroek), will be

good as well," said Aantjes.

The Speedway owner feels the street stock class is taking a step up and will be more competitive than it has in years. This is because they have attracted drivers from Agassiz, the North Okanagan and Victoria. That stems from the Penticton Speedway joining the Tri-City Series with Quesnel, Williams Lake and Prince George.

Along with hit to pass, Eve of Destruction, another crowd favourite event, will be joined by hit to pass flying destruction beginning on the weekend of July 11.

There will be a jump on the front straight away and when cars hit it, they will go through RVs.

Record store day keeps vinyl spinning Dale Boyd

Vinyl collectors and enthusiasts are getting ready to add to their collection on April 18 for record store day.

While the amount of record stores in business have dwindled over the years, the enthusiasm of die-hard collectors has not.

LeAnne Jakubeit, co-owner and operator of The Grooveyard said the big draw for vinyl lovers is the limited edition releases that record companies send to verified independent record stores.

Part of the fun is not knowing which releases will make it to which stores.

“People really never know what’s going to be in any of the stores,” Jakubeit said.

The Grooveyard will have plenty on hand, she said, and the vinyl section of store will be expanding just in time for this year’s record store day.

“We haven’t done the used LPs for quite awhile, we do used CDs and DVDs, but now we’re back into the used LPs,” Jakubeit said.

Jakubeit said collectors from across the Okanagan will generally come later in the day searching for limited release records after they have seen what their local record store has to offer.

“We’re excited about that. It’s just really awesome to see people coming from across the valley, we get a lot of people from Vernon, Kamloops and Kelowna just to see what’s in our store,” she said.

“They make kind of a day of it on record store day and find something that’s a real treasure to them, so it’s good that way.”

Jakubeit said record companies are strict with limited releases, not wanting the records leaked online, so some stores sometimes don’t get their stock in time for the actual day.

She said The Grooveyard was fortunate enough to get most of their stock last year, and has received most of the limited releases for this year.

“Other stores, there was so many of them that didn’t get anything (last year), but still even the week after it was worth people’s while to be hunting around in stores like ours and stuff, we got a lot of the releases the week after. It’s kind of a buzz around those couple weeks there, it’s fun,” Jakubeit said.

Dave Del Rizzo, president of the

... for the die-hard collector, nothing beats an original pressing.

—Dave Del Rizzo

community radio society and organizer of the Okanagan Vinyl Festival, returning for its fourth year in September, is an avid vinyl collector, with a collection that between he and his wife, is approaching 1200 albums.

He feels that the resurgence of vinyl and the popularity of events like record store day is due both to fans and artists.

“It’s grown in popularity and I think it’s the artists driving it, obviously the people who are buying the vinyl are driving it, but the artists are looking at this resurgence in vinyl and looking at their back catalogue and releasing anniversary releases of records or gimmicked coloured vinyl, things like that,” Del Rizzo said.

“It’s kind of cool for collectors, but for the die-hard collector, nothing beats an original pressing,” Del Rizzo said.

Del Rizzo said the tangible qualities of a piece of vinyl are part of the appeal for him, as well as appreciating an album in its entirety, something that can be lost when jumping from song to song digitally.

“It’s the sound quality that you get. It’s just a bit different than a digitally processed piece of music. It’s a little warmer and depending on what kind of system you play it through, with the sound, you can really hear the difference,” he said.

Something else Del Rizzo feels vinyl offers that was lost in the transition of media formats is the grandiose album art and interesting liner notes.

“That’s the whole other aspect of the music that people lost when they went to CDs and cassettes, when you kind of have to have a microscope to read the liner notes,” Del Rizzo said.

Laptops find new life with local charities Steve Kidd

Western News Staff

Keith McIntyre, president of Big Bear Software, didn’t expect to be coming home with a gift for the community when he set off for a business conference in Banff recently.

During the weekend, which was filled with speakers from high-level tech companies like Twitter, Paypal, Uber and even Steve Wozniak, cofounder of Apple Computers, McIntyre won a door prize of five laptops, to be donated to a non-profit organization.

McIntyre decided to direct the laptops to the Penticton branch of Junior Chamber International, which he is a member of. Then, working with JCI Penticton president Lisa Fitzgerald, McIntyre said they found five organizations to donate one laptop to each.

a lot of times, we donate money and we donate time, but there are things like electronics, that can be very valuable ...

— Keith McIntyre

“By getting the five laptops donated to JCI, I was able to distribute them to more organizations than I would have otherwise,” said McIntyre.

The KISU Swim Club, Youth Writers Camp, Carmi Boys and Girls Club, the Canadian Mental Health Association and the B.C. Schizophrenia Society/Mental Wellness Centre all received a laptop.

Sharon Evans of the Schizophrenia Society said the laptop will help out with their public education campaigns. She’s already loading it with powerpoints and other information to help her when she goes out into the community.

Like many organizations, Evans said that money is always tight at the society, and the gift of a laptop makes a big difference.

“We can always use extra technology,” said Evans, adding that she was pleased the JCI thought of her group.

Likewise, Yasmin JohnThorpe of the Youth Writers Camp, said she hopes to put the laptop to a number of uses, from helping with administration to presentations.

“I am going to try to put it to as much use as I can,” said John-Thorpe. “I will have

someone upload all the camp stuff into it for me.”

McIntyre said it struck a chord with him that many organizations can use an extra computer.

“A lot of times, we donate money and we donate time, but there are things like electronics, that can be very valuable that they might not be able to use their cash budgets to purchase,” he said. Many of these groups that work in the community, he pointed out, run on volunteer time and donations.

McIntyre said there was also a bonus for himself in gifting the laptops to JCI and redistributing them.

“It’s fantastic, it’s a really great feeling,” said McIntyre.

“Everybody I meet, I tell them they should try doing some good deeds, because it really does feel good.”
