Bocskei - Rutland's Voice
A voice for RUTLAND and KELOWNA
We almost added a new family member this week, I just needed bigger pockets or a raincoat to hide him. He was so was so quiet no one knew he was there. A member brought this 8 week old pup to a meeting in her jacket.
Another accident on the corner of McCurdy and Knorr Rd. This fellow drove though garbage cans, a tree, sign, telephone pole and a fence before stopping. I hope the driver is ok.
Power is out for a handful of homes in Rutland Wednesday after a vehicle took out a power pole on McCurdy Road.
Power is out for a handful of homes in Rutland Wednesday after a vehicle took out a power pole on McCurdy Road.
In Castanet:
One of the first people on scene, Christopher Bocskei, says the vehicle crashed into some garbage cans, the pole, several trees and a fence before coming to a stop.
Bocskei, a former first responder who lives nearby, rushed to help the driver – a man he believed to be in his sixties. He said the man continued to rev the engine until Bocskei shut the vehicle off, and the driver was unable to respond to any of Bocskei's questions.
I hope the driver is going to be ok.
I am so proud to be selected for West Coast Seeds blog. I even like the picture, which is hard for me. They have been generously donating seeds for the Rutland Elementary School Garden since before my time. Without them, I'm not sure the program would exist. Thank you West Coast Seeds.
There are few things I have done that I am proud of. This is one of those ones that brings tears to me eyes.

I had an opportunity to "ring-the-bell" for the Salvation Army at the Prospera Place Craft Show and look who I should bump into, our honorable mayor Tom Dyas. There are still opportunities to volunteer this season for those interested.
In the news at Castanet.
"A group of community volunteers got together recently to help clean up Kelowna's streets and parks.
Cleanup organizer Christopher Bocskei tells Castanet he started the initiative in the Rutland area in 2021.
"I volunteered at an elementary school garden and I saw some kids coming out of the park. A group of them came up and said they found some dangerous stuff where people had been camping. I looked and saw needles and other stuff there and I thought someone needs to take control of this," said Bocskei.
Since that time, he has organized a clean up twice a year in spring and fall to help keep Kelowna and specifically Rutland clean.
This week a group of volunteers including local politicians, MP Tracy Gray and her family, MLA Norm Letnick, and Kelowna Mayor Tom Dyas all helped collect over 25 bags of garbage and filled 2 sharps bins."
Just a quick, "I'm still here". I continue to meet supporters in public that are encouraging me to run for city council again. I am considering it. Thank you for everyone's support.
Thanks for all of your support ❤️
