After a one year hiatus, the Interior’s rock ‘n’ roll motorcycle festival is back! And what better place for the inaugural Sturgis Canada to take place than at the home of the former Merritt Mountain Music Festival grounds in the Nicola Valley. The international motorcycle rally and music festival, which takes place Aug. 21 to 24, features an all-star lineup of musi- cal acts, including Canadian classic-rock legend Burton Cummings, who headline the Saturday night lineup. Festival organizer, Ray Sasseville called the line-up a “Canadian classic rock ‘n’ roll revival with a few international guests.” “It’s probably one of the best line-ups if you want real rock ‘n’ roll to come around in a long time,” Sasseville explained. “This is getting into the more hard core music, and it’s mainly Canadian rock ‘n’ roll.” The concert lineup for the four-day event also includes The Stampeders, English-Canadian glam rocker Nick Gilder with Sweeney Todd, Jerry Doucette, Moxy, Alias, Molly Hatchet, Canned Heat, Teenage Head, and Killer Dwarfs. Also confirmed to make an appear- ance on the main stage are Woodstock alumni Canned Heat, who will play their boogie- blues on stage, as well as Katey Sagal and the Forest Rangers. Sagal is well-known for her portrayal of Gemma on the hit motorcycle TV series Sons of Anarchy. The Merritt festival site features four stages, a 15,000 seat beer garden, 3,000 VIP seats, four 29 buildings and a minimum 5,000 on-site camping spots, including designated quiet-area campsites as well as “entertain- ment” campsites, on-site shower facilities, on-site first aid station, two on-site general stores, and food vendors that cater to specific allergies (gluten-free, diabetes). Daily events include Miss Sturgis Canada Pageant; bike rodeo; burnout competitions; Cabbage Patch Wrestling match; show ‘n’ shines; onsite bike wash; live entertainment in the Iron Mountain Saloon (beer gardens); daily prizes (including replacement tires for burnout competitors); shuttle buses to and from town all day; downtown party for shopping, T-shirts, food and live entertainment, and the Saturday Show ‘n’ Shine will be held in downtown Merritt instead of onsite. As well, the Gospel Riders will host a daily mass at 8 a.m. Also on the agenda are daily motorcycle rides, including one down to the Coast to go whale watching, and another into the Okanagan to tour wineries. If you’d like to participate, but are worried because you don’t have a motorcycle, it’s not a worry – owning or riding a motorcycle isn’t a requirement to take part in the festival. “You don’t need a motorcycle to come,” said Sasseville. “You can have an RV and come to enjoy four days of great music and still go on the tours.” For those who don’t ride motorcycles, buses will also make the day trips – proceeds from the bus tours will benefit the Merritt Centennials hockey club.

Page 1: Jmnews may 30, 2014

After a one year hiatus, the Interior’s rock

‘n’ roll motorcycle festival is back! And what

better place for the inaugural Sturgis Canada

to take place than at the home of the former

Merritt Mountain Music Festival grounds in

the Nicola Valley.

The international motorcycle rally and

music festival, which takes place Aug. 21

to 24, features an all-star lineup of musi-

cal acts, including Canadian classic-rock

legend Burton Cummings, who headline the

Saturday night lineup.

Festival organizer, Ray Sasseville called

the line-up a “Canadian classic rock ‘n’ roll

revival with a few international guests.”

“It’s probably one of the best line-ups if you

want real rock ‘n’ roll to come around in a

long time,” Sasseville explained. “This is

getting into the more hard core music, and

it’s mainly Canadian rock ‘n’ roll.”

The concert lineup for the four-day event also

includes The Stampeders, English-Canadian

glam rocker Nick Gilder with Sweeney Todd,

Jerry Doucette, Moxy, Alias, Molly Hatchet,

Canned Heat, Teenage Head, and Killer

Dwarfs. Also confirmed to make an appear-

ance on the main stage are Woodstock alumni

Canned Heat, who will play their boogie-

blues on stage, as well as Katey Sagal and the

Forest Rangers. Sagal is well-known for her

portrayal of Gemma on the hit motorcycle

TV series Sons of Anarchy.

The Merritt festival site features four stages,

a 15,000 seat beer garden, 3,000 VIP seats,

four 29 buildings and a minimum 5,000

on-site camping spots, including designated

quiet-area campsites as well as “entertain-

ment” campsites, on-site shower facilities,

on-site first aid station, two on-site general

stores, and food vendors that cater to specific

allergies (gluten-free, diabetes).

Daily events include Miss Sturgis Canada

Pageant; bike rodeo; burnout competitions;

Cabbage Patch Wrestling match; show ‘n’

shines; onsite bike wash; live entertainment in

the Iron Mountain Saloon (beer gardens); daily

prizes (including replacement tires for burnout

competitors); shuttle buses to and from town

all day; downtown party for shopping, T-shirts,

food and live entertainment, and the Saturday

Show ‘n’ Shine will be held in downtown

Merritt instead of onsite. As well, the Gospel

Riders will host a daily mass at 8 a.m.

Also on the agenda are daily motorcycle

rides, including one down to the Coast to

go whale watching, and another into the

Okanagan to tour wineries.

If you’d like to participate, but are worried

because you don’t have a motorcycle, it’s not

a worry – owning or riding a motorcycle isn’t

a requirement to take part in the festival.

“You don’t need a motorcycle to come,”

said Sasseville. “You can have an RV and

come to enjoy four days of great music and

still go on the tours.”

For those who don’t ride motorcycles,

buses will also make the day trips – proceeds

from the bus tours will benefit the Merritt

Centennials hockey club.

As well, a portion of the proceeds from

the rides will benefit charities, including the

BC branch of the Breast Cancer Society of

Canada, and Wounded Warriors Canada, a

non-profit organization that helps Canadian

Forces members who have been wounded

or injured in their service to Canada, as well

as local based charities. There will be a bike

auctioned off on Saturday with proceeds

going to the Wounded Warriors.

There will also be a number of food and

merchandise vendors. Organizers are taking

vendor applications (applications at vendors@

sturgiscanada.com). Registered charities that

wish to have a vendor booth can request one

free of charge at [email protected].

As well, organizers are looking for volun-

teers for everything from attending parking

to working in the beer gardens. Send your

application to [email protected].

Full event passes are on sale through the

Sturgis Canada website, www.sturgiscanada.

day general admission passes are only $200

HoroscopesJune 2 - June 8, 2014

You’ll be set out to use any excuse to fi nd distractions to avoid pressure being placed on you to accept certain obligations. This’ll likely have some connection to family but it may also remind you of circumstances you needed to endure when you were younger. Focus on what you think would be a happy alternative for you.

Those around you will have their own problems for which you can readily vision a solution that they’ll either not want to accept or simply cannot see. Be careful with any criticism or reminding of them about the past – it may be a sore point. Focus on your own priorities, including anything you may wish to develop.

Activities with friends or a group can have some surprises as well as perhaps establishing a connection with someone who’s out of the ordinary in some way. Someone can be hiding their feelings from you. Whatever you’re thinking now can change so hold off on any decisions you may feel impelled to make.

Expect to change your mind when it comes to any decisions you have recently made. Though this may not originate from you, it may be a result of others not following through with something previously agreed upon. Find some quiet time so you can refl ect on where you now fi nd yourself & any changes with obligations.

You may sense something isn’t what it seems but it’ll be diffi cult to know exactly what it’s all about. Focus on what you want to develop in the long term, even though you know there isn’t much you can do about it at the present moment. You may be surprised by the insight of someone else regarding your capabilities.

You can be very self-assured because of knowing what you have learned about yourself. This has resulted because of a greater level of mental maturity you’ve developed since late 2012. Re-lationships with friends may go through change during the next 2 months, mainly because different things are important in life now.

You can feel out of touch. This can be caused by a combination of not knowing where you stand with somebody else, while they feel they come under your infl uence too much. You’ll feel stuck while they’re determined to do their own thing, whatever the con-sequences. Reconsider your obligations in the coming weeks.

The determination of somebody else can make you feel you need to hold back or keep things to yourself. It’s the right thing for you to do at the moment. It won’t be until mid-Sept. that you’ll be in a position to successfully move forward in your own way. You’ll come to know those that you can rely on.

Situations involving others will be changeable. While there can be some excitement & pleasure, don’t be lulled into a false sense of security. You have no way of knowing exactly how others think & what they’ll change their mind about. Because of this, avoid your habit of being too generous of yourself

Communication with others will be interesting – they may have a lot more to say than they normally would. You may also gain information or unknown facts from the past. Avoid becoming too serious about anything – you have the opportunity to enjoy yourself in social settings that seem unreal in some way.

You can create a greater level of security, both emotionally & fi nancially, at an underlying level in your life. Avoid any temp-tation to take risks fi nancially – it’s not necessary. It’ll be the steady, reliable pace that’ll bring the best results. Be prepared for any change to daily routine to change again shortly.

You should generally feel things are going your way. This’ll be more so with matters under your own control. You may also de-cide to bring to an end, any infl uence somebody else expects to have on your choices or circumstances in life. You can be more determined than ever. You’ll also be fair, so believe in yourself.

Java Mountain News May 30, 20143

It’s been said that moms don’t

get a sick day. They’re mothers,

the nurturers of the fruit of their

loins and the one that your chil-

dren want… for everything!

But, sometimes, the dad jumps

in and, whether the kids like it or

not, he is their “go-to” parent of

the day/week.

This past weekend, I had a kid-

ney infection. I spent an hour or so

in the clinic to get a prescription

for antibiotics, then spent the day

in bed, with TV remote in hand,

and in a PVR coma catching up

on my latest television obsession

– all while the kids had a movie

and video game day with Daddy.

(It turns out the kids liked this

Daddy time!)

Although, I went to work one

day, I still wasn’t feeling up to my

normal self when I arrived home.

Therefore, I hit the mattress with

remote in hand once again, telling

my husband, son, and daughter

they were going to fend for them-

selves for dinner. Daddy made

cheeseburgers – a household fa-

vourite. (The kids loved this too!)

Tuesday, I had to leave work ten

minutes after I arrived – as it was

evident that my antibiotics were

not working.

It took a while for me to peel my-

self off the bathroom fl oor before

I found it safe to go back to the

clinic –where they advised me I

should have went to the emer-

gency room.

I wasn’t doing anything kid-re-

lated that day! And the kids were

off school due to the strike. Yet

again, Daddy was on duty.

It turns out, the kids like it when

Daddy is the go-to parent. They

get fun food to eat, get to watch

movies, play video games, and

stay in their pyjamas all day. This

isn’t too bad for Dad, when the

kids have nothing to do.

Until I reminded my husband of

the kids’ activities for that day –

that they couldn’t miss.

Aubrielle had photo day at ballet

–I helped get her ready by putting

her hair up into a precise bun and

her recital tutu, and even a little

pink eye shadow. (That topic is

for another day!) Daddy was all

set to watch ballet.

Upon his arrival with our beauti-

ful ballerina, and dinner in hand,

I also reminded Daddy that Zach-

ary had taekwondo – to which his

response was a grumble. (Wel-

come to my world!)

All-in-all, Daddy stepped up to

the plate and knocked it out of the

park – all while the bed became

my best friend.
