Let’s get this election over soon….

Blackface, dual citizenship, abortion – yes or no, homophobia… what next?

Are there really any serious issues – children, education, health, international affairs, trade, the environment ??

6pm Friday

“The Conservative Party of Canada announced Friday afternoon that Heather Leung would no longer be representing the party in the riding of Burnaby North-Seymour. In announcing the change, the party wrote:

“Recent media reports have brought to light offensive comments made by Ms. Leung saying ‘homosexuals recruit’ children, and describing the sexual orientation of the LGBTQ community as ‘perverted.’ There is no tolerance in the Conservative Party for those types of offensive comments.”

Ready for colour at Fall Art Show & Sale

October 4, 2019, 11:49 am

Oliver’s 36th annual Fall Art Show & Sale welcomes art lovers this coming weekend. The multimedia arts event includes photography, fibre art, three-dimensional art, watercolours, oils, acrylics, mixed / other media, and two categories for youth. The public is invited to vote for their favourites among 103 works of art. In addition, three special exhibits are featured.

The Fall Art Show and Sale spans two days, Saturday October 5 (3 – 9 p.m.) and Sunday October 6 (12 – 5 p.m.), at the Oliver Community Centre, 6359 Park Drive. The event shares the same weekend at the same venue as the Cask and Keg and Festival of the Grape.  Admission is by donation, with a draw to win a wine fridge. Draw tickets are $2 each.

Saturday’s visitors can vote for their favourite in each media category, and for overall “Best in Show”. The live music and dessert reception begin at 7 p.m., featuring the ever-popular Jazz Out West. Ballotting closes at 8 p.m. in time for the awards ceremony at 8:30.

Quail trophies will be presented to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners on Saturday evening.  Honorable mentions will also recognize meritorious work.

Sunday’s admission is through a Festival of the Grape ticket only. The art show is a great place to stroll through and admire fine regional art or just  sit and relax with some wine and food. The popular wine fridge draw continues.

Many works of art are for sale both days. Last year set a record for number of artworks sold. Sales add excitement and delight to the show, whether they`re works by established artists or youthful newcomers.  Visitors may even meet the artists, and learn a little about their work.

Three non-competitive displays feature local arts groups and programs. The Double O Quilters add colour with their `Fabric Collage` display. CreateAbility is dedicated to making art accessible, exhibiting work by differently-abled adults. Art cards for sale. The RipOff Artists are ten talented artists, each working in their own medium, dedicated to “ripping off” a dead artist’s work in their own style. This year, the RipOffs go pop art, recreating Andy Warhol`s iconic Marilyn Monroe in ten different styles.

The Fall Art Show and Sale is an annual presentation by the Oliver Community Arts Council.

Shooter and victim known to each other – targeted hit

October 4, 2019, 8:25 am

Update on shooting incident in Penticton Wednesday

 

Officers arrest two men believed to be connected to the non-fatal shooting at a residence on Winnipeg Street.

On October 2nd, 2019, at 12 p.m., officers responded to a report of a man having been shot inside a residence in the 400 block of Winnipeg Street. Upon arrival, it was confirmed a man had been assaulted inside the residence, and a firearm had been discharged. The victim suffered non-life threatening injuries, and was taken to hospital. He has since been discharged from hospital.

The investigation led officers to believe residents of a townhome on Maple Street, in Penticton, may have been linked. Due to the violent nature of the incident, and taking everyone’s safety into consideration, a heavy police presence arrived at the residence. Several people were taken into custody who were inside, including two men; Jesse Eldon Mason, 32, and Josef Bretislav Pavlik, aged 36.

Both accused were held in custody, and on October 3rd, charges laid. Both remanded in custody. The other people taken into custody were later released.

“This was targeted, with parties known to one another. There are no safety concerns the public should be aware of at this time. The RCMP wants to thank the many people who assisted and provided support to our officers while they coordinated the safe ending to this situation”, explained Cst. James Grandy.

Both Mason and Pavlik are charged with breaking and entering a dwelling house with intent to commit an indictable offence. Pavlik is also charged with: using a restricted or prohibited firearm to commit a robbery, assault with a weapon and uttering threats.

Think about it with Joseph Seiler

Percolator

Remember the old coffee percolator, the one with the glass bubble on top? An ingenious device to be sure. The versions we still see today are based on the 1825 invention by a tin smith in Paris, France. The key principle is in the hollow tube or rod, that stands in the center. Once the water is boiling it migrates up the tube overflowing onto the coffee grounds in the basket. Continuous and automatic. Wow

The word percolator is from ‘per’ meaning through and ‘colare’ meaning to strain. In the making of coffee we strain water through the ground up beans. The finer the grind, the stronger the resulting coffee. When buying land to build a house on, where we do not have sewer for waste water it is fed to a septic field and percolates back into the earth. One needs a percolation test before building the septic field.

The percolator is a fabulous teacher. It teaches the fundamentals of project management, for instance. Having decided to make coffee we need to assemble the device. If we miss putting a part into it, say the basket that holds the coffee grounds, well, coffee won’t happen. We then need to load it with the water and the grounds in the right amounts. Then we plug it in. What else do we need.

Ah yes, sounds Blempph gurleck hehhh… then nothing.

The percolator struggles to life. A jerk, a stretch, an exhale, yawning while scratching its head and rubbing its tummy. After the dramatic shudder, silence. It had all been a mistake. Time passes… glub, just one. Wait, glub, glub and soon enough glub, glub, glubs a many. The percolator is perking.

Coffee? Not yet, but soon. See it bubble in the glass globe on top. Though the percolator is percolating we need to let it do so a while. The percolator teaches us about process and order and patience. Pouring too soon will deliver tasteless yellow water. The glass bubble on top gurgling so happily with the ever darker colour of coffee brings joyful anticipation. We can learn much by, ourselves, modeling the percolator and patiently seeing others as percolators too.
