Irish star flies across the country for sweet reward Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Every day Robert Jung makes Kelowna residents’ lives a little sweeter, doling out treats as the owner of Annegret’s Chocolates. But this week, an Irish singing sensation with a voice so rich it makes the darkest of cocoa seem milky turned the tables.
Julie Feeney, the 2006 winner of the Choice Music Prize for Irish Album of the Year, flew into Kelowna Wednesday to meet Jung after learning her song, Life’s Nudge, pulled him back from a terrible motorcycle accident that stole the marathon runner’s ability to walk and crushed his will to live.
“I was in a stage where I really gave up on life,� admitted Jung. “I just really didn’t feel I could keep going.� Confined to a wheelchair and struggling through hours upon hours of physical therapy and acupuncture sessions, Jung’s first year of rebuilding didn’t seem to be offering any improvement
Tickets still available Julie Feeney plays Kelowna Project Literacy’s 25th Anniversary Celebration at the Laurel Packinghouse this Friday, June 8, beginning at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $40 for wine, food and a chance to see the award-winning instrumental and electronic artist described as Lady Gaga-esque, for her costuming. Tickets can be purchased at Mosaic Books on Bernard Ave. or by calling Project Literacy at 250-7622163. She will be at Towne Centre Mall (home of Annegret’s Chocolates) the following day, Saturday, June 9, from noon to 3 p.m. for a concert and fashion show. when he started looking for outside inspiration.

One conversation in the right place at the right time can turn a lowly start-up company into an industry leader. And if all goes according to plan, some of those pivotal chats could be taking place right now, say representatives of Metabridge, a locally based technology industry retreat in Kelowna this week. “The founder of Metabridge, Steve Wandler, had his one conversation in a suite at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas in 2008, and that led to the acquisition of his company, YourTech Online,� said Mike Blonde, director of Metabridge. Wandler was at a tech conference like Metabridge, talking to Richard Mandeberg, then the executive vicepresident of Support.com. In short order, the leading provider of Internet delivered services folded Wandler’s growing company into the mix, raising it to a new level. It’s actually a common scenario in the industry, said Blonde. “People in technology, especially Silicon Valley, are more willing to help entrepreneurs to succeed. Success breeds success and when you create a great company or technology, it can snowball.� It’s a mindset that Metabridge organizers have capitalized on, allowing them to turn a conference that had just 30 attendees when it started four years ago into something more substantial. This week 300 people from across Canada and the U.S. will descend on Kelowna for a couple days of schmoozing, learning and building relationships that could last a lifetime—or at least change a life. “It’s not a traditional environment with stuffy workshops,� said Blonde. “We are aiming to build North America’s premier retreat-style tech events. And you’ll see by the list of VIPs and start ups from across Canada, that we’re well on our way.� That’s another key element to making these events fly. There has to be the right mix of movers and shakers—and Metabridge organizers have managed to make that happen as well.

Cardiac trainees use Sam Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
His name is Sam and he’s the next best thing to a human patient for cardiac care students at the UBC Okanagan’s medical training centre at Kelowna General Hospital. Sam is a SimMan, a portable, high-fidelity patient simulator that mimics the physiological reactions of a live human being. Looking like an electronic mannequin, Sam bleeds, sweats, blinks, breathes, and talks as a real person. All that allows students to practise techniques they will require for cardiac care. SimMan is designed to respond to numerous medical procedures, including cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), intubation, resuscitation and defibrillation. Along with Harvey, a stationary patient simulator that replicates sounds and conditions the doctors will face, the pair are part of a new, state-of-the-art

Growing community support is energizing those working on a campaign to keep the man who killed six members of a Westbank family behind bars. “It helps keep the fire burning to continue on with this process,” said Tammy Arishenkoff, the woman organizing a letter writing and petition drive aimed at keeping David Ennis, formerly Shearing, in prison. “So many people have stepped forward to help, and the family is grateful they don’t have to go through this alone.” Ennis was sentenced to life in prison without eligibility for parole for 25 years for murdering George and Edith Bentley, Jackie and Bob John-

UBCO medical students practise on SimMan, affectionately known as Sam. patient simulation centre that opened Wednesday at UBC’s Southern Medical Program at KGH. The facility is supported by a $500,000 donation from The Colin and Lois Pritchard Foundation. A joint venture between the UBC Faculty of Medicine and Interior Health, the Pritchard Simulation Centre will replicate a variety of highrisk and low-probability medical scenarios to provide hands-on experience. “Patient simulation is
highly advantageous to medical education,” said Dr. Allan Jones, UBC’s regional associate dean for the B.C. Interior. “It helps promote patient safety, benefits clinical skills teaching, and provides opportunities for inter-professional team training,” Jones said. The Pritchard family has also created an endowment fund to support student awards. Their gift of $50,000 has been matched by an anonymous donor to provide bursaries to medical students.

son, and their daughters Janet,13, and Karen, 11, in August 1982. The four adults were killed immediately, while the children were kept alive several days and sexually assaulted. Now 53, Ennis has spent the bulk of his life in prison. He failed at a 2008 attempt to get parole, and is expected to take a second run for release at a Sept.18 hearing at the Bowden Institute, where he’s housed. Family and friends of the Johnson Bentley families intend to keep him there with an online and paper petition drive, as well as a letter writing campaign. Arishenkoff will also be at the hearing in person to read her statement on how life changed after her childhood friends and their families were mur-
dered. Petitions have to be completed and sent to the parole board by Aug. 1—and she’s hoping more area businesses will be interested in keeping a petition— but the letter campaign has a much tighter deadline. They have to reach the parole board in Alberta by July 2, which means they need to be in the mail by June 25. “We’re encouraging people to write these impact letters and send them in, they’re going to have most effect on the parole process,” she said. Anyone who wants to help by filling a petition sheet or writing a letter should just go to the Facebook page Johnson Bentley murders: Parole Petition—Keep Their Murderer Behind Bars. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
Even though not as much precipitation materialized as expected this week, Mission Creek has risen to a point where another rainstorm could cause flooding in the vicinity, and a rainfall warning remained in effect as of late Wednesday. Colder temperatures have resulted in even more snow falling at high elevations around the valley, but it has also stopped snow from melting to join runoff from rainstorms this week, said Central Okanagan emergency program coordinator Jason Brolund. That’s been a help as far as keeping the level of Mission Creek within its banks, even though it’s running brown and lapping at the trunks of trees that normally line the creek. “It’s been an interesting few days,” admitted Brolund. “I am concerned about the levels of Mission Creek, but the amount of rainfall we see next will determine whether we see flooding or not,” he added. He warned that anyone with a property that is prone to flooding from Mission Creek should take precautions. Sandbags are available at local firehalls and information on flood preparedness, including a recommended method for sandbag diking, are available on the emergency operation centre website at: www.cordemergency. ca. Anyone who notices a potential problem or flooding concern in the Central Okanagan is asked to call regional fire dispatch at 250-469-8801. As well, Brolund warned those near Okanagan Lake to keep watch on lake levels and consider putting basement sump pumps into operation, or deal with possible erosion

THOUGH the expected storms did not materialize, enough rain has fallen in the last few days to swell Mission Creek and another rainstorm could lead to flooding. problems. Although a series of rainstorms have travelled through the Central Okanagan in the past four days or so, the 50 mm of rain forecast Monday has not fallen in the valley bottom, noted Brolund. Rainfall amounts have varied in different parts of the region, but he estimated the amount that’s fallen has been less than half that amount. Colin Tam, meteorologist with Environment Canada, reported actual rainfall the past four days measured at the Kelowna International Airport was 10.8 millimetres, but more
than double that amount fell in Vernon and Penticton and some higher elevation weather stations reported 30 mm. Overnight was the last little blast from this particular storm, which is now tracking northwest in the province, said Tam. Partial clearing could bring some frost, but he didn’t think it would be very heavy. Following a reprieve Thursday, another system is expected to move through overnight and Friday, followed by warmer air by Sunday. Saturday temperatures are expected to remain
below normal, at a high of 17 C and a low of 8 C (normal is 10 C to 22 C), but Sunday temperatures are expected to return to normal. Because creeks are running high, residents are warned to be cautious and keep pets and children back from the banks, which could be slippery and eroding from spring runoff. Boaters using Okanagan Lake are warned there is considerable floating debris that has been carried down from the highflowing streams. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Flowers make invasive weeds stand out As yellow flag iris lights up local wetlands and Dame’s Rocket shows off in brilliant drifts of mauve blooms, it’s hard to imagine that such cheerful, brilliant colour is the
result of an invasive plant taking over native vegetation. In fact, both are good examples of garden plants that have seeded themselves successfully in natural areas and now their growth and the expansion of their territory knows no
bounds. The Central Okanagan Regional District received $15,500 this spring as part of $1.7 million in provincial government grants toward control of the spread of invasive plants. It will be used to provide additional education-
al and outreach opportunities with property owners, groups and organizations outside the regular bylaw enforcement program, to help people identify invasive weeds and provide management options such as biological controls using insects that feed on

invasive weeds, explained Bruce Smith, communications officer. He said the funds will also allow them to coordinate with other regional and provincial weed programs in investigation of reports of new weed invaders for containment and eradication. Some of this area’s worst invaders have become “poster children” on the backs of a deck of Weed Warrior playing cards which are available free from the regional district to help people identify them. You can pick yours up at the regional district office on KLO Road. Invasive plants are not native to a particular ecosystem and they have the potential to displace longestablished species, causing considerable economic and environmental damage. They can disrupt natural ecosystems, reduce biodiversity, increase soil erosion, alter soil chemistry and adversely affect commercial crops. “These weeds are sneaky,” commented Rhoda Mueller, chief bylaw enforcement officer for the regional district. “There’s good reason for our bylaw.”

FLNRO minister Steve Thomson says, “The B.C. government is committed to preserving wildlife habitat and protecting the interests of B.C.’s ranching and agriculture industries. When invasive plant species put those values at risk, we must take decisive action to deal with that threat.” Tom Wells is chairman of the Invasive Species Council of B.C. and says by stopping the spread of such plants future management costs and resource losses are reduced, and natural landscapes are protected. But, everyone needs to work together to achieve success, he added. Next week is B.C. Invasive Species Week.

Kelowna woman battles joint disease Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
Kelowna native Meghan Smaha knows all too well the impact having arthritis can have on a person. Smaha, a 50-year-old mother of three grown children, suffers from several forms of the debilitating joint disease. She has had two hip replacement surgeries, has been forced to quit her job and has put her house up for sale to look for one that is easier to get around. “Every day is a bit of a struggle and a challenge,” said Smaha, one of four

million Canadians who suffer from some form of arthritis. “But you just have to take it one day at a time; take a deep breath and take it one day at a time and try not to feel sorry for yourself.” On Sunday, Smaha and her husband, who
also suffers from arthritis, will join together with the Arthritis Society in the second annual Walk to Fight Arthritis, hoping to raise awareness and funds in the fight against the disease. Registration for the walk is 9 a.m. Sunday at Kerry Park in Kelowna with one or five km walk options beginning at 10 a.m. “This is very important for me to help fundraise and increase awareness,” said Smaha. “There are so many people out there that are suffering with it. By going to events like this we raise awareness of the office in Kelowna and the things
that they offer people in terms of treatment and maybe some alternative treatments that people haven’t thought of.” Like many people, Smaha’s battle with arthritis came on in the adult portion of her life. A broken knee in 1996 triggered the onset of osteoarthritis and since then it has been one thing after another. A virus and a fall that resulted in a broken foot led to severe degeneration in her hip which led to her first hip replacement. That surgery led to back and neck pain that was diagnosed as psoriatic arthritis. The break in

her foot led to a bad toe that had arthritis in it. Combined, all of her issues forced her to leave her work as an operating room nurse and eventually to leave the profession altogether. “I was told I will never return to work so here I sit, I’m 50 and I’m quite crippled and just going from one thing to the next, just trying to manage my life,” she said. “It can be quite debilitating and depressing. A lot of people suffer from depression because the pain really gets you down.” Depression isn’t one of Smaha’s issues. Upbeat and personable, she has turned her arthritis into a positive in many ways. After going to the Kelowna branch of the Arthritis Society for information on her disease she began to volunteer at the Arthritis Society, using her nursing background to teach several arthritis courses. The disease has since taken that away as well, but in the meantime Smaha continues her battle with the help of the Arthritis Society, which offers education, physio-

“Our local Special Olympic athletes have done very well this year and their year ahead looks really promising,” said Const. Steve Holmes, one of the event’s organizers. “They could not do what they do without the money that the community provides so we’re hoping for a good showing this year.” Last year about $16,000 was raised from the public and corporate sponsors, as local police officers took a dip into an icy tub for a $50 donation. The fundraiser has been held in support of the Law Enforcement Torch Run, which raises funds to support B.C. Special Olympics, and last year was the first time the Polar Plunge was thrown in the mix.

Potent drug not in Kelowna yet
WFN donates $30,000 for kids
A drug getting worldwide attention for sparking violent and psychotic outbursts has yet to show up in Kelowna, say police. “(Bath salts) are not all that prevalent here,” said Const. Kris Clark. “We’re not seeing them yet.” Even if there had been reports, however, there was little police could do as the drug had yet to be deemed illegal. That changed Tuesday, when the federal government announced it

would be moving to regulate MDPV, the main ingredient in “bath salts.” Starting June 9, the government will make moves to put MDPV on Schedule I of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act—the same category as heroin and cocaine. The public will have until July 10 to comment on this plan. Unless dramatic new evidence comes to light, however, the drug is expected to be illegal this fall.
The new rules mean activities such as possession, trafficking, possession for the purpose of trafficking, importation, exportation and production would be illegal unless authorized by regulation. This move will also allow law enforcement agencies to take action against suspected illegal activities involving these substances. “We applaud the federal government for their quick response in recog-
nizing the extreme dangers of the “bath salts” and the listing of it as a Schedule I drug,” said Chief Barry MacKnight, chair of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police Drug Abuse Committee. “The addition of MDPV in Schedule I of the CDSA will severely hinder organized crime’s ability to procure and profit from this substance…” said RCMP deputy commissioner, federal policing, Mike Cabana.

Mic Werstuik. “By leveraging the financial commitments and knowledge of the FRED partners, we are able to
help improve the chance of success for all children in the Central Okanagan.” The band has committed $10,000 per year to FRED for the next three years. “We know that support for these programs needs to be sustainable in order to provide a solid foundation for a strong and healthy community,” said Coun. Lorrie Hogaboam.
Local chocolate shop owner helps charity Reward from A16 went looking for the Irish music that caught his heart at the time. That’s when he discovered Feeney. Pitched as the biggest Irish singer next to Sinéad O’Connor and Enya, Feeney’s light, melodic electronic and orchestral music spoke to Jung like nothing he can describe even to this day. “Her body language, her expression, the way she is singing, it was just exactly the pain,” said Jung, noting he isn’t doing it justice. “It’s very dark. For someone in a wheelchair it was like: ‘yep,’” he said. Listening to her music over and over again, Jung
began to emerge from his period of despair. While he had been training to run the Comrades Marathon in South Africa for 2010—the year South Africa held the FIFA World Cup soccer event—walking was now an unbearable challenge. Yet just as the soccer players drew inspiration from Canadian rapper K’Naan’s Wavin’ Flag, Jung drew strength from Life’s Nudge. The experience was so overwhelming, he couldn’t help but send Feeney a message to tell her just how much she had done for his life. To his surprise, she wrote back and soon the two were talking on Skype.
Jung invited her for a visit and she agreed to make the 3000-kilometre trek across North American, following a 10-day sold out show she’s just received rave reviews for in New York. Not to let an opportunity go to waste, Jung arranged to help out a favourite charity—Kelowna Project Literacy—by asking Feeney if she would perform at the non-profit organization’s upcoming 25th anniversary celebration.

Monitoring interest rates
T
he real estate industry can breathe a sigh of relief, as can many homeowners—interest rates aren’t going up any time soon. The Bank of Canada said Tuesday that interest rate increases aren’t likely any time soon, given the economic uncertainty in Europe and many challenging economic situations across the world. In that environment, an interest rate increase will just cause more trouble. Nonetheless, homeowners with large mortgages would be
wise to try to lock in low rates for as long as possible and, at the same time, do all they can to reduce their total debt. Interest rates will not stay this low forever, just as they didn’t stay at 20 per cent in the early 1980s. At that time, some people simply walked away from their homes, as the mortgages had very high interest rates and the homes were going down in value. It was a situation very similar to that in many U.S. cities in the past four years.
In recent years, prices have jumped to levels where many people are having difficulty buying a home. This is particularly true of single-family homes. Only low interest rates have kept many people in the market. While there is still affordable housing available in Langley, for the most part it is in the form of apartments. These are not suitable for all buyers, particularly those with growing families. Interest rates also have other
effects, on retired people on fixed incomes. Low interest rates cut deeply into their purchasing power, as they are dependent on investment income for at least part of their income. A long period of low interest rates, as we have seen, can wreak havoc on pension plans. It all makes for many challenging situations. Saving is of limited benefit, but so is borrowing too much. The best approach is to keep expenses under control and pay close attention to interest rates.

Coping with shortages in skilled labour is a global issue
L
ast week I was in Halifax at a conference hosted by The World Federation of Colleges and Polytechnics and the Association of Canadian Community Colleges. This event had representatives from post-secondary institutions from just about every corner of the planet who provide academic and vocational education. I met delegates from Brazil, China, Bangladesh, Jamaica, Kenya, and Australia, to name a few. The most common issue for many delegates and their countries is a current and predicted growing shortage of skilled labour, including trade workers with journeyperson certification similar to our Canadian Red Seal, workers who have technical skills and
have completed vocational and academic training such as our engineering technology graduates and finally, managers and supervisors who have the skills and abilities to organize and manage work sites. Growth in Canada’s resource sector has employers anticipating a shortage of 1.5 million skilled workers. Brazil is facing a four-million worker shortage. Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world and has illiteracy rates as high as 24.18 per cent. Also 10 per cent of Brazil’s population lives less than $2 a day—that’s
19 million people living in extreme poverty. The government wants to transition workers out of ghettos and poor rural areas to where they expect skill Jane shortages. This is a treMuskens mendous task as it is very hard to move the socio-economically disadvantaged into training. Projects like this require social supports, money and the dedication of individuals who believe they can change a generational mindset. One of their most successful programs is 1,000 Women—Education, Citizenship and Sustainable Development. It’s primary goal is to take
SCHOOL’S IN
disadvantaged women from northeast Brazil and introduce or reintroduce them to the workforce. Through Brazil’s community college system they developed the tools, techniques and curriculum to help 1,000 women move into training and employment. At the conference we were fortunate to be able to watch a video highlighting this program. We saw many women moving from traditional family roles such as child-minding, cooking, and some agriculture to sitting in front of computers, working in a textiles factory and more. These women ranged from their early 20s to one woman who was 72 years old. For some of these women, their biggest challenge was their husbands;
men who weren’t so keen on them leaving for work or school every day. To date, this project has helped more than 100,000 women get an education and a job which has improved their economic outlook as well as provide more for their family. It has also helped the Brazilian government find a way to tap into a large pool of workers to meet their skills shortage. Each country, including Canada, has people who don’t participate in the workforce. With global labour shortages expected it will be interesting to see how others tackle this issue.

▼ MCKINLEY LANDING
S H O E S
For the love of shoes!
Development will spoil quiet Clifton area The city wants to connect all three neighbourhoods with each other, the town and the highway for emergencies, and connectivity. Connectivity is the connecting of neighbourhoods by an arterial road—connecting dead end roads, cull de sacs and isolated neighborhoods with each other and new development.
Clifton North and McKinley, as well as Melcor, will see traffic from 200 houses increase to 1,056 houses. The new Melcor neighborhood will price its lots for from $250,000 to $1 million. Imagine, for that money to be fronting a road with traffic from 1,056 houses, each having the potential of four
trips per day. A five-fold increase in traffic lowers real estate value, lowers safety and decreases quality of life. Melcor can access its development through its own land along McKinley Road. This land is classified as gentle undulating and suitable for a golf course. Could Melcor be a good neighbour, and access its property
through its own ‘driveway’ instead of that of its neighbours? It would benefit the residents of its own planned neighbourhood, which they advertise as quiet and peaceful. It would avoid having a very detrimental effect on all three neighbourhoods. Peter VandeBurgt, Kelowna

We work ‘dang hard’ and should get EI benefits To the editor: I am writing about Employment Insurance. Couldn’t believe what we had heard. They are saying that they won’t allow people to go on EI if they lose there jobs or what have you. What are they thinking? This is not their money, this is our money that we work dang hard
for. They think we should go for minimum wage and take the cuts and that we should drive an hour to get to jobs that are minimum wage. This is soooo not fair—you can’t even pay rent for that or groceries or bills.. And if you are on seasonal (employment) then why should you look for
another job when you are going back to the one you have and just waiting for snow to leave? As soon as the grocery (stores) and billing departments heard that minimum wage was going up they upped everything and we still haven’t had our minimum wage increase yet. The government
should be trying to have more jobs out there instead of taking them away and playing with our EI money. Boy, this government is trying to take everything away from us all and laugh at us. People should really pay attention to all this and next time listen to all the younger generation
and totally pick a different government to run us instead of what we have, ’cause if we don’t we all are going to lose I do hope you put this letter in so that the governments can see this ’cause, wow, this thing with EI is so terrible to innocent people. Lana B. Evans, Westbank

Fitzpatrick to be bestowed with honorary degree Senator D. Ross Fitzpatrick will receive an honorary doctoral degree during today’s convocation ceremonies at the UBC Okanagan campus. Fitzpatrick, a retired member of the Canadian Senate, was born to a pioneering Okanagan agricultural family, a tradition that carries on today with a variety of business interests. Upon graduating from UBC with a commerce and business administration degree, he was a researcher for the Royal Commission into the Tree Fruit Industry of British Columbia. Following completion of this, Fitzpatrick worked
in the B.C. tree fruits industry and pursued postgraduate studies at the University of Maryland and Columbia University. He later embarked on an entrepreneurial career founding businesses in the aerospace, oil and gas and mining industries in both Canada and the U.S. In the 1980s, he returned to the Okanagan to promote value-added agriculture, founding CedarCreek Estate Winery and pioneering the planting of vinifera grapes to produce quality wines. He served in the Senate of Canada, representing Okanagan-Similkameen from 1998 to 2008.
Fitzpatrick’s honorary degree will be conferred at the 1:30 p.m. ceremony, and is in addition to 11 other PhDs—six in sciences and two in arts from the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences; two from the Faculty of Applied Sciences’ School of Engineering; and one from the Faculty of Management. This year there have been a record number of graduates, totalling 1,306 degrees are to be conferred, which is up from 1,174 in 2011, including 11 doctoral degrees, 146 master’s degrees and 1,149 undergraduate degrees.

NEWS ▼ EDUCATING KIDS
Up close and personal lesson about science Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Exploring the life cycles of critters that live in ponds, experimenting with chemical reactions and tracking how sunlight equals energy are all on the agenda this summer for youngsters enrolled in a Science Opportunities for Kids camp. And, a group of youngsters from Chute Lake elementary got a taste last week of what a SOKS summer camp would be like. Camp staff Aja Hann, Katie Macdonald and Jeff Kerkovius guided youngsters in a study of pond water at Michaelbrook Marsh, searching for invertebrates and identifying them, and generally exploring their outdoor environment from a different point of view—using all their senses. This year’s week-long science camps for kids will be held at the Francophone School L’Ecole L’anse-au-Sable, across Gordon Drive from the H20 and Capital News Centres, with the first camp July 2 to 6 and the last of the summer from Aug. 20 to 24. Juniors, ages six to eight, attend Electron Camp, which is 9 a.m. to noon for five days, while seniors, ages nine to 13, attend Proton Camp, which is 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday to Friday and 1 to 4 p.m.
on Monday. This summer, the camp options are Morphing, Mud, Magic and Quantum Mechanics: studying life cycles, chemical reactions, tracking how sunlight equals energy and inventing a greener future; or Animals, Wildlife Companion and Domestic: habitats, who lives in our forests, rural co-existence with wild animals, caregiving for and with animals, who is on the farm and are they sustainable. SOKS camps are hands-on, interactive and mind boggling science for kids, with one day spent outdoors all day, explains program coordinater Jennifer French, who has been running these camps and other SOKS projects for 17 years in Kelowna. That includes classroom and community presentations, Saturday Science workshops, sales of ladybugs to combat aphids, at the Farmer’s Market and other locations, creation of a teacher’s guide to the Okanagan Watershed and a community public art project. Youngsters learn about all facets of science and are encouraged to apply it to daily activities as well as seeing science in action. For more information and to register youngsters for a camp, go to the website at www.soks.ca or call 250-763-4427.

RV industry looking for a few good technicians Anyone considering getting into the recreational vehicle service industry might want to hit the books sooner rather than later. Following a few slow years, the industry is gearing up for larger sales and with that comes a greater need for people trained in servicing motor homes and fifth wheelers. “Whether in B.C. or across the country, industry is telling us that they are starting to experience difficulty finding technicians,” said Eleonore Hamm, president of the RV Dealers Association of Canada. “We need to start recruiting again.” To help fill the need, registration is now underway at Okanagan College for entry level training in the RV Service Technician program with information sessions taking place at all four campuses throughout the college region. College RV service technician instructor Jim Ingram said he’s posting a growing number of positions on the program’s job board. “We have approxi-
mately eight listings on the board at this time, with jobs in Victoria, the Okanagan, and into the Prairies,” Ingram said. “Things are definitely moving.” Former Okanagan College student Rick McKague isn’t surprised. “The training was excellent, and the employment opportunities are good,” said McKague. He graduated this spring from the Recreation Vehicle Service Technician program with his Level 3 and is now working for Kelowna RVs. “One of the guys I graduated with was actually headhunted and took a job in Saskatchewan,” he said. “There’s a real boom going on there now and they are desperate for RV techs.” Hamm admits the economy has been hard on the industry for the last few years, but that’s now changed. The turnaround is also being felt in the U.S., where the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association says it expects a 39 per cent increase in RV shipments from the 2009
recession low. “It’s a good time to be getting into this field,” said Ingram. “Students want to hit the books before the need for these positions peaks.” The RV Service Technician program begins with a comprehensive 28week program that takes students with little or no previous experience and gives them the skills to seek employment as an apprentice RV service technician. Many women experience success as RV Technicians, which makes the program especially attractive for those eligible for Okanagan College’s Women in Trades Training Initiative. The information sessions take place at the Kelowna campus on Tuesday, June 19, 6:30 p.m. Registration for the program is also available online at www.okanagan. bc.ca/apply, and follow the link to Trades Foundation. For more information on the RV service technician program, contact Okanagan College, at 250-762-5445, ext. 4275.

A suitcase of emotional Fashion shop options abound baggage best ignored Jan Johnson

CONTRIBUTOR
Have you noticed how downtown has become the “go to” place for fashion, footwear and accessories in the past few years? If you’re looking for unique styles that aren’t mass-produced, and owners and staff who will take the time to chat with you, downtown Kelowna is definitely the place you want to check out. With more than 40 stores available to find a gorgeous dress, sexy new shoes or funky jewelry— plus stunning lake views everywhere—it’s better than any mall. And the fashion just keeps blooming, with several new stores popping up recently. I’m so happy that Brice MacDermott has opened MacD’s Lakeside, at 219 Bernard Ave., near The Sails. It’s the perfect spot for an upscale clothing store geared to the casual but dressy lifestyle. With its red brick facade and built-in shelf units, crisp white walls and summery feel, entering MacD’s feels like an instant vacation. Owner Brice MacDermott, whose parents own MacDermott’s a few blocks up Bernard, was a golf pro for many years before venturing into the fashion scene. He’s done a great job of setting up a store that appeals to locals and tourists alike. Farther up Bernard, the Town Centre Mall has recently welcomed Mavazi Apparel. I spoke with owner Amanda Zais

THE STOREFRONTfor the MacD’s Lakeside, a new business opened by Brice MacDermott in downtown Kelowna on Bernard Avenue. and store manager Sara Boake to get the scoop on this new spot. It turns out Amanda used to be an accountant, and she started Mavazi as an online shop for a hobby a few years ago. She built up a good group of suppliers and decided to open a streetfront store. She carries a wide range of styles— from casual to dressy— with new arrivals coming in every week. Her styles appeal to all ages. Amanda tells me that she had an eight-yearold who bought a dress there, but they also have customers in their 1960’s and ‘70s. The fashions change constantly and everything is under $50. When I was there, I spotted some Cielo jeans at $39.99—a great deal!
Ten Fashions Bridal Boutique has also opened in the store’s new location at the front of the Towne Centre Mall. The elegant, airy spot features blonde wood floors, large windows on Bernard and several change room areas. The Towne Centre Mall is so excited about their new fashion shops that they’re hosting a Fashion Show on Saturday, June 9, from noon to 2 p.m., with 10 to 50 per cent discounts in shopping centre fashion shops for one day only. Irish singing sensation Julie Feeney will also perform that day, so don’t miss the fun and festivities! This Saturday will also mark the open-
ing of a new store in the rear of Tigerlily Fashions, at 575 Bernard Ave. Alleycat Fashion Outlet will be a fun place to find amazing deals on women’s fashions. Alleycat will feature fabulous finds, samples, overstocks and even designer labels – all at deep discount prices. It promises to be a pleasant surprise every time you visit! I hope reading this column has intrigued and inspired you to check out the downtown fashion panorama. Jan Johnson has coowned Tigerlily Fashions downtown for 25 years.

Three Ps for job interviews

You may Laurie want to bring along an Mills extra copies of your resume as well as other relevant documents like copies of degrees, diplomas and certificates, samples of your work and a list of employment references. Next, polish yourself for the interview. You want to present a professional image so choose an appropriate outfit, make sure you are well groomed from head to toe and arrive odour free. Deciding on what a suitable outfit is can be challenging. Dress in a way that reflects the general business attire of others who work there. If you don’t have that kind of inside information, aim to strike a balance between dressing too formally and wearing overly casual outfits. The best choice is to wear simple clothes that are clean, pressed and well fitted. Arriving odour free is important. Yes it means having good personal hygiene but it also means not wearing fragrances. I can guarantee that if you show up with a ‘smell’ that can be detected before you sit down or one that lingers after you’ve left, you will leave a definite impression, and it won’t be a good one.

oes the thought of a job interview start your heart pounding? If you’re like most people, interviews do not top your list of fun ways to spend your time. Why is that? On the surface, it’s a good sign to be invited for an interview. That means you’ve made an impression on a potential employer who now wants to get to know you better. I suspect that, like most people, you are nervous about job interviews because there are so many unknown factors involved that seem out of your control, like which questions will be asked, who you are competing with for the position, etc. It may also be because it requires you to sell yourself convincingly. The job interview process does not need to be anxiety producing. Here are three things you can do that can help make the whole experience more comfortable—Prepare, Polish and Promote. Prepare means finding out as much as you can about the potential employer and the job itself in advance. Gather information about the company’s business strategy, structure and operations. Familiarizing yourself with these details will help you to understand how the potential job fits in to the bigger picture. Also, if you are able to speak knowledgeably about the company, your interviewers will appreciate that you have taken the time to learn about them. Speaking with enthusiasm about why

Finally, adopt a sales mindset. Promote yourself. The interview is your big chance to sell yourself. If you don’t do this part, how will the interviewers know why they should hire you? You need to convince them that you are the best person for the job. Before the interview, take some time to write out key points that highlight your qualifications. List all the reasons why you believe you would be a great choice for the job, and include examples of your strengths in action. Some of these should already be listed on your resume, but the interview is the time to elaborate on how your talents match the job requirements. You may never be totally comfortable with self promotion but it may help to think of your answers to interview questions as factual highlights of your work experience, framed in a positive light. Just remember to keep your responses concise and relevant to the job. The goal is to help the interviewers know you better and choose you over the others. If you follow these three simple tips I guarantee you will make a good impression. Just do your best to stay focused and relaxed - you might find yourself actually enjoying your next interview experience a lot more.

SPORTS B.C. medals for Bears, Huskies, Mustangs Central Okanagan teams are a force to be reckoned with in B.C. high school girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; soccer. That much was made clear last weekend as local schools won medals at all three B.C. School Sports championships. The Mt. Boucherie Bears grabbed silver at the provincinal AAA championship in Surrey, the Okanagan Mission Huskies struck silver at the B.C. AA finals in Kamloops, while the host Immaculata Mustangs captured bronze at the provincial A girls playdowns.
BEARS WIN SILVERâ&#x20AC;Ś Boucherieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secondplace showing in Surrey at the AAA provincials was the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best result ever. The Bears, who settled for second best at valleys last month, opened with a convincing 3-1 win in pool play over South Delta, the champions of the Vikes UVic tourney. In Game 2, Boucherie tied Kitsilano 0-0, before beating Belmont 2-0 in the final game of ppool play. In the playoffs, a the Bears scored a dramatic shootout win over Handsworth, the 2009 provincial champs. After a scoreless regulation, Michelle Blackburne, Kailey Nicholl, Nikayla Gabriel, and Jordan Tassone scored on kicks to give the Bears a 4-3 victory. Keeper Baily Weymouth, made two great stops in the shootout
after a solid game in regulation and overtime. The Bears then advanced to the championship game against Panorama Ridge, the top team in the Fraser Valley which features two provincial team players and goalkeeper who plays for the Whitecaps Prospects. Panorama had outscored its opponents The Bears held their own, with the only goal of the game came from Panorama in the second half and was the difference in a 1-0 final score. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we really proved ourselves against the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best teams and showed that we came to play,â&#x20AC;? said Baily Weymouth, the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; captain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winning a medal was very satisfying for our team.â&#x20AC;?

UBCO changed you as a player? A: Maturity levels, different coaches, higher intensity—definitely higher intensity than I’m used to. Coming from Salmon Arm, I was always a higher level player, then going to university, playing with older guys, it was definitely different. I’ve grown up
a lot. Q: Do you feel you bring anything special to the team, being from Costa Rica? A: Different perspective, like I know things people don’t know. For example, if a team’s dirty I know how to react to that because in Costa Rica everyone’s dirty—they’ll tackle you whenever, wherever. Q: Will you be supporting at team at Euro 2012 this summer?

Heat sizzle in Spokane The Kelowna Heat were down more than once, but clearly never out of the Spokane U18 girls fastball tournament. The Heat overcame a slow start in the round robin, then engineered a pair of come-from-behind wins in the playoffs to capture the gold medal at the eight-team tournament. In Sunday’s finale, Kelowna fell behind early 3-0 to the Spokane Diamonds, then rallied for a 9-7 win. Taya Skarbo scored three runs, while Felisha Vogelaar and Haley Wedgewood each had two RBIs. Rachel Penner picked up the win. After going 1-2 in the round robin, the Heat couldn’t afford another loss in the single-knock-
out playoff format. In the quarters, Kelowna slipped behind 5-0 against the Spokane Scream, but again showed its resiliency with a 10-9 win. Morgan Cederholm had four RBIs and Penner homered. Then in the semifinals, the Heat took down the Kootenai (Idaho) Ice 112. Danielle Orr had four RBIs, while Kenzie Barbour and Penner had two RBIs each. “Proud of the girls, this weekend was a good step for us,” said Heat coach Bernie Penner. “We had set a team goal to play three games in the playoffs on Sunday and we reached that goal, so to win the final was simply a bonus.” The Heat are: Taya

In the quarterfinals, Kelowna took down the Spokane Crash 5-3. “Competition was very even down there with no weak teams that we saw,” said Heat coach Darran Light. “All of these teams were club teams.” Statistically for the Heat, Hayden Craig batted .500 and had seven RBIs. Taylor Kathler bnit .556, Brett Needham hit .500, while Tessa Barbour and Shea Skarbo each had four RBIs.

Bannister remembered by Raiders The Kelowna Raiders will honour the memory of one of their former players before Friday night’s Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League game against Kamloops at Memorial Arena. The local team will retire the jersey of ex-Raider Dave Bannister during a pre-game ceremony. Bannister, who as an integral part of four straight Okanagan senior C lacrosse titles for the Raiders from 2006 to 2009, passed away last month. The Raiders and Rattlers will face off at 8 p.m. at Memorial. The Raiders beat the Rattlers last Friday in Kamloops 9-3. Graham Cousins stopped more than 50 shots in the Kelowna net.

Double gold at BC track champ for Elisa Joyce Led by two gold medals from Elisa Joyce, the Kelowna Secondary School Owls turned in their best team performance at the B.C. track and field championships in 45 years. The Owls placed fourth overall last weekend at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby, the best aggregate finish since KSS was second in 1967. In girls team competition, the Owls placed third. Elisa Joyce won gold in the 100 metres in a personal best time of 12.38 seconds. She also won the 200 metres in 25.47. Sister and KSS teammate Adele Joyce won bronze in the 100 metres (a PB of 12.64 seconds) and was fourth in the 200. Kelowna’s Keely Watts-Watling won gold in the women’s long jump with a personal best leap of 5.27 metres.
Erin Kokakyo of Kelowna Christian was third in long jump with 5.14m. A week earlier, WattsWatling and Kokayko finished second and third, respectively, in the hepathlon at the combined events meet in Abbotsford. Other medals for local athletes in Burnaby came in the men’s discus where Aaron Stroda of OKM won silver with a throw of 48.59 metres, while Rostam Turner of KSS was third with 45.92. Kelowna’s Keefer Joyce, a favourite in the senior boys 100 and 200 metres did not compete at provincials in Burnaby. The Grade 12 student bypassed the competition to prepare for future events, including trying to run a qualifying time for national time for the world junior championships this summer in Barcelona, Spain.
Ensign Cup goes for 30th time Saturday A long-standing local sports tradition reaches a milestone this weekend in Kelowna. The 30th annual Ensign Cup charity rugby match will be played this Saturday, 4 p.m. at City Park. The game is held each year in the name of Rusty Ensign, a former Kelowna Crows player who was seriously injured in a rugby match on May 22, 1982 in Edmonton. The first Ensign Cup was played the following year and hasn’t missed a beat in three decades since. “I’m truly honoured and humbled the game has been going on this long,” said Ensign who was rendered a quadriplegic from the injury. “That people come out for a good cause each year is really, really nice to see.” The match will be an inter-club contest between the Kelowna Crows over 30s and the under 30s.
Thank you TD for making miracles happen for BC’s kids.

process for the four PIL teams with each club appearing to be in different stages of forming their summer teams, according to Jays manager Bill Bayne. “(We) are basically the youngest team in the league, with only four players over 21-yearsold,” said Bayne. “They are slowly getting to know each other and the difficult, more experienced competition they must face, but they have shown signs of being ready to break out.” A veteran Kamloops team won three of its four games as did the Langley Blaze, which also fielded most of its key players. Trail and Kelowna were both 1-and-3 at the tournament. In the tournament opener the Jays were stymied by Kamloops starter Wataru Asaoka, a Japanese exchange student at Thompson Riv-
ers University, who tossed a one-hit shutout in a 7-0 win over Kelowna. Tyler Enns singled with two out in the bottom of the 7th to break up Asaoka’s bid for a no-hitter. In the Jays second game they gave up four runs in the third and three more in the fourth in losing to Langley. Against Trail, the Orioles edged Kelowna 3-2 as pitchers Dawson Newman of Kelowna and Trail’s Kyle Parsons hooked up in a pitcher’s duel with the Jays outhitting Trail but unable to cash in, leaving the bases loaded twice. The tournament also featured some heated rivalries including a bench clearing brawl between Kamloops and Trail after four hit-batters. The WCA Jays head south for the weekend with double headers against the Seattle Studs and Burnaby Bulldogs.

KELOWNAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Judah Campbell dives ahead with the ball, with two Burnaby Lake players in pursuit in B.C. Rugby League action Saturday at Mission sports fields.
The Kelowna Crows marked the first ever B.C. Rugby League game in the Okanagan with a convincing win last Saturday afternoon at the Mission Sports Fields. The Crows, now 2-0 in their inaugural season, scored early and often in routing Burnaby Lake to the tune of 64-14. At the 10-minute mark the Crowsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Josh Moore cracked Burnabyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s line of defence to score the first try for the day. Kelowna then upped the tempo of the game and soon scored two more tries to Freddie Humphreys and team captain Scott Waite. Tom Bloomfield only

Two ex-Falcons drafted to MLB
Two former members of the Kelowna Falcons have been selected in rthe Top 10 rounds of the tMajor League Baseball Draft. r Pitcher Tyler Wagner (2010) from the University of Utah was chosen rin the fourth round, 155th overall by the Milwaukee Brewers. In 2010 Wagner came to the Falcons as a freshman who had started to dabble in pitching.
Two years later, Wagner has been selected by the Brewers as a pitcher. While with the Falcons Wagner became a force out of the pen. He finished the season 3-0 with a 4.50 ERA in 19 appearances. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wagsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; would throw 32 innings for the Falcons striking out 35 batters while giving up just 16 earned runs. The opposition hit just .207 against him. He went
to Utah in the fall and won the closer role for the Utes, which ultimately got him drafted. Three rounds after Wagner was selected, left hander David Otterman (2011) was also chosen by the Milwaukee Brewers. Otterman just completed his junior year at UBC where he was named to the NAIA All Star team. Last season with the Falcons Otterman finished 3-5 with a 3.22 ERA
in 14 appearances. He threw 67 innings, start 11 games and struck out 46 hitters. The opposition hit just .240 against â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Otterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; who also had a WHIP of 1.51. The Falcons began their 2012 season Wednesday in Cowlitz, before their free home opener coming up on Sunday night at Elks Stadium. First pitch is at 6:05 p.m. against the Kitsap Bluejackets.

Iron Maidens strong until last game
The Kelowna Iron Maidens finished second in the Vernon Summer Classic Fastball tournarment in the U12 girls division. The Maidens were victors in all three preliminary games, knocking off Vernon 10-9, scoring five in the bottom half of the inning to come back and win. Carleigh Maniago was selected as game MVP. Kelowna then finished off Ridge Meadows 13-8 with Racquel Bennett being selected as Game MVP. In the third game, the Iron Maidens posted 15-7 win over West Kelowna, Brittney Vuong was selected game MVP. In the semi finals, Iron Maidens scored a convincing 17-10 victory over the Newton Tigers. Andrea Innis led the way going 3-for-3 and being selected game MVP. The final saw the Ke-
lowna girls fade in the later innings losing out what was at first a very close game to a very tough Fleetwood Krushers team by a score of 136. Sierra McGuigan-Anderson had a strong game
going 3-for-3 at the plate and was rewarded with the game MVP. Olivia Dargatz, Calla McGuigan-Anderson MaKenna Reiger, Lochlyn Scott and Delainey Gregory round
out the team and played strong all weekend. Missing for the weekend was Chloe Kam, and helping out for a game while shorthanded was Toria Kover, Brooke Breer and Sarah Todd.

Blooming peony varieties now showing their colours T he spectacular colour show continues with the hawthorns, viburnums, rhododendrons and the fabulous Japanese tree peonies which are my main plant topic this week. When most people think of peonies, they think of the common garden herbaceous peony that freezes to the ground each winter and comes back from the root. There are dozens of varieties and a few spe-
FROM THE GROUND UP
Don Burnett cies of this great plant that bloom in May, June or July depending on the variety. The tree peony or Paeonia suffruticosa is not really a tree but rather a
bush or shrub and some varieties can grow up to 2.5 m tall. Sometimes you will see huge blooms 30 cm across but most average half that which is still impressive. The colours range from various shades of red, pink and yellow to deep mauve and of course white. When the plant is not in bloom it makes a lovely shrub with its dark green leather-like foliage and
peeling bark on its older wood. If there is one negative to this plant it may be that it does not bloom for a very long time. In a season where the weather is on the cool side the blooms may last for two and a half weeks but when the weather is warmer than normal you can knock a week of that. Even though the blooming period is short the tree peony is still a wonderful plant to have in
any garden. Over the years of selling plants to people I hear the comment so often that the desire is to have something that blooms all summer and anything that only blooms for a couple of weeks is not wanted. For those who think this way, all I can say is you are cheating yourselves from a treat that is perhaps appreciated more so because of its short blooming term. I for one get bored
HOW DO YOU VIEW JESUS?
As I opened my front door the other day, a little tract, stuffed between the door and jamb, fell to the ground. I unfolded the tract and read its contents. It asked me these questions: “How do you view Jesus? Is he an infant, suffering man, or an exalted ruler? What’s your answer?” I want to share my answers to these questions. The Bible clearly describes Jesus as an infant, a baby boy, born of a woman named Mary in the City of Bethlehem in the Holy Land. However, He was like no other infant born of a woman. Jesus’ conception and birth fulfilled the promises made by certain Old Testament prophets. He brought their words to life; He gave those words flesh. The Old Testament prophet Isaiah promised that a unique ‘Messiah’ or ‘Anointed King’ would come into our world. He would be born of a Jewish mother, a virgin, and would be called Immanuel or ‘God with us’ (Isaiah 7:14). The great prophet king David testified: “Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.” (Psalm 51:5). David declared that the very act of conception passed sin on from generation to generation, seemingly without end. The Holy Child could not be conceived in the normal way. He had to be born through the agency of the Holy Spirit. The Gospels of Matthew and Luke attest that Jesus was conceived in the Virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit. In this way, Jesus touched every aspect of human life, including conception and redeemed human life at its very beginning. Adam and Eve are held responsible for the fall of man into sin; Eve conceived and bore children in sin. Mary has the honor of bearing the Savior who made it possible for mankind to be restored to the innocence experienced in the Garden of Eden.
The Bible clearly describes Jesus as a suffering man. He suffered on the cross and died. He was nailed to the cross by the religious and political authorities of the day. He was found guilty of no crime. He was crucified because He claimed to be God’s Son. While the religious and political authorities believed they were justified in punishing Jesus for His words and actions, God used their evil for good. Who among us hasn’t wronged another person? It is impossible to undo those wrongs and very often impossible to really make amends. Principals of natural justice require that we right the wrongs we have committed and receive punishment for those wrongs. However, it is impossible to fully assess the consequences of the wrongs we commit, let alone pay the full price for those wrongs. Our inability to comprehend and even pay for our personal wrongs is compounded by our ‘original sin’ inherited from Adam and Eve. How can we possibly pay for our ‘original sin’? The Old Testament prophet Isaiah testified that, like Adam and Eve, we have all gone astray; we have all sinned and cannot pay for our sins. Our sins keep us from having a right relationship with God. To save us from our sins, God promised to lay or impute our sins on God’s own “Suffering Servant.”
The Suffering Servant’s intense suffering and eventual death would result in the Servant’s resurrection and the resurrection of those who believe in Him. (Isaiah 52:1353:12). Jesus was that Suffering Servant: His suffering on the cross paid for all of the consequences of our sins; our sins are forgiven when we believe that Jesus was God’s Suffering Servant, who suffered and died for our sins.
The Bible clearly describes Jesus as an exalted ruler. A ruler always has authority over people and things. In His life, death and resurrection, Jesus revealed His authority. The New Testament declares that Jesus had authority over blindness, deafness, muteness, physical deformity, paralysis, and various diseases, including leprosy. He walked on water, calmed a storm and fed thousands of people with five loaves and three fishes. He demonstrated His authority over people when He called His twelve disciples. Jesus called them to follow Him and the twelve left home, families and businesses in order to follow Jesus. Speaking through the Old Testament prophet Hosea, God promised: “I will ransom them from the power of the grave” (Hosea 13:14a). God promised to exercise divine authority over human death. The New Testament scriptures clearly reveal that Jesus demonstrated His authority over death by raising people from the dead. He raised a young girl, a widow’s only son and His friend Lazarus from the dead by His powerful word and presence. I can’t imagine the amazement and joy the raising of these three people would have brought to them and their loved ones. However, that joy would not last forever: the widow’s son, the young girl and Lazarus would eventually die. Jesus had come to do more than raise the dead in a manner that would subject them once again to the sin and decay of this world. Jesus made this bold declaration to His disciples: “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25-26). Jesus declared and promised resurrection to new life not through an exercise of His powerful word and presence; rather, he ransomed us from death by His own death and resurrection. Jesus said: “The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life —only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.” (John 10:17-18). Jesus suffered and died on the first Good Friday and was resurrected to new life on the first Easter Sunday. Because Jesus died for our sins and was resurrected from the dead by the power of God, He established both His authority over death and His divinity. It is for this reason we can call Jesus an exalted ruler. We can say with great confidence that Jesus is our King and that He is the Son of God. Jesus brought resurrection and eternal life from death, from nothing, just as God brought
life from water and earth during creation of our earth. Jesus’ resurrection is proof positive that Jesus, the Son of God, existed with God before the universe was created and participated powerfully in its creation. John’s Gospel testifies: “In the beginning was the Word [Jesus], and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.” (John 1:1-3). John’s Gospel clearly reveals Jesus’ presence in the beginning, and forever changes our understanding of the account of the creation of the world found in Genesis 1:1-2:4a and the entire Old Testament. The Father, Son and Spirit shepherded God’s people from the beginning throughout Israel’s history and shepherd the Church today. The Holy Bible declares in every chapter and verse that Jesus is indeed an exalted ruler who has authority over everything in the heavens and the earth, over things seen and unseen. Jesus wants to be our exalted ruler and have authority over each and every one of us. He wants us to experience His real presence. Jesus is truly present with us when we gather together for worship, study and prayer time in His Name: “For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.” (Matthew 18:20). The Apostle Paul reminds us that, in the waters of Baptism, Jesus touches us: we are united with Jesus in His death and His resurrection. “Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” (Romans 6:3-4). Jesus promises to transform us by the power and authority of His word. By His powerful word, Jesus gives the spiritually-blind the ability to see Him in the pages of the Bible and hear Him in the pure proclamation of the Gospel. Jesus removes the impediments that keep us from walking with Him and He gives us the words we need to share the good news of Jesus with others. Jesus promises His presence to our very end, when He Himself will take us through the valley of the shadow of death.
with masses of petunias blooming all summer long. I love watching the changing colour in the garden from early spring to fall and when the tree peonies are in bloom it is a special time. I recently heard the improvements to Gellatly Road along the lake do not include the fabulous katsura trees that finally are just getting a foothold. I have been watching these trees from the time they were planted several years ago and they have had their ups and downs but now for the most part I believe they are thriving better than ever. Katsura is a favourite of mine and I often send folk to see them along the lakeside drive when they are looking for an example.
I sure wish there was some way to change the plan to take them out. ••• Have you ever considered a worm bin to compost those vegetative kitchen scraps?

Road to opening up government
W
hen Christy Clark became premier, she made it clear that one of her foremost priorities was opening up government. That’s a worthwhile goal, and given the public forums happening around the province, ICBC shares that commitment. Recently, residents of Kelowna had the chance to talk face-to-face with ICBC staff at the Ramada Hotel. Drivers were able to directly communicate their concerns and suggestions about the proposed changes to insurance premiums. In Kelowna, and in similar sessions across the province, these discussions focus on three major topics. First, the importance of total driving experience, as opposed to the length of time a driver has gone without an accident. Second, holding those drivers at fault for accidents accountable, rather than the owners of the vehicles. Finally, how much weight should be put on serious driving violations in setting premiums for those high-risk drivers. As you may have heard, ICBC is proposing to revise the way it sets
Norm Letnick premiums from the current vehicle-based model to a driving record-based model. This means that drivers who will pay higher premiums are not those who have a claims history on their cars, but those whose personal driving records indicate high-risk driving. The proposed redistribution of premium rates comes from the public’s concerns about the fairness of the current model. Many drivers lose discounts when somebody else, be it family or friends, use their car and acquire a claim—a nice way of saying “had an accident.” It’s important to remember that the redistribution of premiums proposed by ICBC is just that —redistribution. ICBC will not see increases in its own reve-
nue, but customers will see the benefits in their own wallets. Following the new model, about 2/3 of drivers would be paying less and about 1/3 would be paying more. All these potential changes to basic insurance would be implemented gradually, as to minimize the effects of the transition process. The new system, more accurately reflective of risk, would be ready for the 2014-15 year. If you missed the chance to weigh in on ICBC staff here in Kelowna, this engagement initiative gives you many options to contribute. A discussion guide and feedback form is available online, with standing invitations to submit feedback and suggestions by email or mail. There will also be an online forum and webinar sessions collecting feedback. Ultimately, opening up government means letting people see where their money goes, and giving people more of a voice as to how it’s invested back into the community. ICBC’s rate changes will affect every driver in the province, so it’s
important that all recommendations and concerns that you have are heard and taken into consideration. To get involved and for more information, go to www.publicengagement.icbc.com. Norm Letnick is the Liberal MLA for Kelow na-Lake Country and chair of the Select Standing Committee on Health.

vical spine (neck), thoracic spine (upper back), and lumbar spine (low back). The thoracic spine, also known as the T-spine, is comprised of 12 vertebral bones. These bones are connected to one another by a central disc and two facet joints on either side. Together, these joints allow both stability and movement in the upper back. Excessive sudden loading or repetitive movements placing stress on the spine can lead to injury or dysfunction in one or more of these joints.

Nerves lie in very close proximity to these joints and, if aggravated, can lead to paresthesia (numbness and tingling), muscle spasm or pain. T4 syndrome is named as such because the joints at and around the fourth thoracic vertebrae are particularly vulnerable to stress and thereby injury. Some symptoms of T4 syndrome include glove-like paresthesia (hands falling asleep), pain or stiffness in the neck or upper back, headaches, numbness in the face, and weakness and pain in one or both arms

ENTERTAINMENT Beatles influence still felt through today’s music Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
These Beatles are from Glasgow. Thankfully, kilt-clad Ringos and bagpipetoting Lennons aren’t exactly what Clark Gilmour and his crew had in mind when they started their tribute band and were then cast to play the Beatles in The Beatles Experience, an internationally touring show en route to Kelowna. “This is an authentic interpretation of The Beatles music,” said Gilmour, in an interview from the United Kingdom this week. “We’re all from Glasgow, Beatles fans and thought lets go out there and give a really good bash at delivering the Beatles music.” Apparently it worked. The Beatles Experience, a touring theatrical show which casts different bands for each tour, contacted 25-year-old Gilmore and his friends Joe Kane (Paul McCartney), Craig McGown (George Harrison) and Grahame Critcher (Ringo Starr) to take the reins this year. Thus far they’ve been to South Africa and, upon completing the upcoming Canadian dates, will be

heading to New Zealand. “If you love singing Beatles songs and playing Beatles songs, eventually you’re going to find yourself on stage pretending to be the Beatles,” said Clark. “So the band just made sense.” The Beatles influence is so prevalent in popular music that Clark says playing their music is also just good experience to log. Personally, he’s a big fan of the band’s earlier

work—The White Album and Rubber Soul—but each of the band members is different. Gilmour, who takes on Lennon’s persona, is the son of a Beatles impersonator and graduated from the University of Glasgow with a Master of Arts degree in theology and religious studies, though he claims his only religions are The Beatles and Liverpool Football Club—Liverpool being hometown of the original
mop-headed group. His buddies are of similarly unusual backgrounds. Kane apparently got hooked on the movie Help, the second movie the Beatles did, and started learning their catalogue of songs before branching out into his own compositions. He now has three solo albums under his belt full of Beatles-esque pop and has been invited to portray Paul McCartney on Made In Britain, a U.K. theatre show. McGown spends the bulk of his time running his guitar school, The Craig McGown Guitar School, in central Scotland and has received national radio play with his band Ramblers. While his Beatles connection may not be immediately evident, he claims The Doors, The Beatles and Eric Clapton among his early influences. Critcher, meanwhile, is a self-taught percussion maniac who has played with a string of bands that vary widely in genre. The Beatles Experience comes to Kelowna Community Theatre on June 19 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $49 available through www.thebeatleexperience.net. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Create your own festival for B.C. spot prawns at home Schell from B2 The Cove’s Bonfire Grill chef, Grant de Montreuil, was sautéing Spot Prawns with a splash of Sambuca sending tempting aromas through the air, while Poppadom’s across the way perfumed the air with exotic Indian spice. Hillside Estate Bistro, Joy Road Catering, Nineteen Grill & Lounge, Ricardo’s Mediterranean Kitchen and The Terrace at Mission Hill Family Estate all had stations set up with beautiful creations to share. Jon and Anne-Marie Crofts, from Kelowna’s Codfathers Seafood, were at the centre of it all with live spot prawns on display and for sale. Jon Crofts, the sea-loving gent who spearheaded bringing this coastal celebration home to the Interior, had made a grueling dash down to the Coast the day before to fetch this live haul direct from the sea.
Venerable chef Robert Clark, from Vancouver’s C Restaurant, was also set up nearby, offering lucky guests a soupcon of his Spot Prawn Gazpacho (recipe below). Crofts describes chef Clark as being “responsible basically for reintroducing spot prawns to the B.C. culinary scene.” Crofts explained that “previously, 90 per cent of prawns were being exported to Asia, so Rob got together with some progressive local fishermen and decided to change this. With the help of the Chefs Table Society, they started the Vancouver Spot Prawn Festival to increase public awareness of the product, and to stimulate local demand in order to get the fishermen the price locally that they could get abroad for the prawns. “The festival became a great success,” continued Crfots, “and has spawned other festivals in the province including

Wild B.C. spot prawns are a delicacy known around the world for their sweet, delicate flavour and firm texture. They are most recognizable for their reddish brown colour, which turns bright pink when cooked, defining white spots on their tail and white horizontal
bars on the carapace. Spot prawns are the largest of the seven commercial species of shrimp found on the West Coast of Canada. For more information about Wild B.C. spot prawns visit www.wildbcspotprawns.com,

roughly chop the peppers, cucumber and onion. Mix all the ingredients in a non-reactive dish and leave in the fridge overnight. To make the soup: Place all ingredients in a food processor, puree until smooth. Strain the soup, then let it sit in the fridge, or on ice for 30 minutes. To make the garnish: Bring a pot of water to a boil; add enough sea salt to make it taste like the ocean. Add the spot prawn
tails and remove pot from the heat. Let the prawns sit for 30 seconds to one minute, depending on the size of the prawns, and remove just before they are completely cooked. Cool over ice. Peel and reserve. Pour the chilled soup into very cold bowls, garnish with the spot prawns and serve. Jennifer Schell is editor of B.C.

It does drag in the middle with scenes that are neither entertaining nor useful, and while it’s not the best show you’ll see, it doesn’t suck as much as you might think.

his show, starring the very busy Charlize Theron as the evil Queen Ravina, is hard to critique, and it’s definitely not for kids. Theron herself, a big star, dropped out of the show J. Edgar to take on this role, which she obviously enjoys, and is joined by Kirsten Stewart of the Vampire Trilogies as Snow White. While I can actually think of many who are ‘fairer’ than Stewart and I can think of a whole lot who show way more emotion than she does, it’s an interesting part— she’s more tomboy than siren, more common than royal and is way more one dimensional than this role would call for. But then,
Susan Steen good folks, I’m not a fan, so put it down to bias. In addition to Theron and Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, who will be in Thor 2 in 2013, plays the Huntsman. Then there are the ‘dwarves’—oh yeah— these guys are meaner, ruder and even more unkempt that the last bunch we saw in Mirror, Mirror. Good news though, these guys weren’t a band of marauding thieves. This was scary and dark. What’s next in the

t is shaping up to be a great summer at the movies. No one was surprised that Snow White and the Huntsman took over the number one spot but what was surprising was that its almost $60 million take proved that its audience was much broader than just Twilight fans coming out to see Kristen Stewart. Also surprising pundits was how strongly Men in Black 3 held up in its second weekend and how well it is doing internationally. However, a month after its release The Avengers is still attracting a lot of talk with it overtaking The Dark Knight’s domestic gross and the final Harry Potter movie’s worldwide gross, grabbing the third highest grossing movie of all time in both categories. Also grabbing attention is how well The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is doing against these blockbusters. Plus there’s a brand spankin’ new theatre opening up in these parts in a few weeks—but more on that next week as there are two more big movies opening this weekend. What started as a prequel to Alien is now Prometheus, a new futuristic vision from director Ridley Scott. Starting
MOVIE GUY
Rick Davis more than 10 years ago, both Scott and Aliens director James Cameron were developing ideas for a prequel to the original groundbreaking film. However, it was sidelined when 20th Century Fox decided to merge its two successful scary alien franchises into 2004’s Alien vs. Predator and its sequel. When Scott returned to the project in 2009, he decided to take it in a new direction and created a new future mythology about a team of explorers who discover a clue to the origins of humans on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. Of course, they end up fighting a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race. Sir Ridley is not only revisiting the genre he helped define, he has gathered an impressive cast including Noomi Rapace (The original Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows), Char-

EXPLORERS of a distant planet encounter a monolithic figure in Prometheus. lize Theron (Snow White & the Huntsman), Michael Fassbender (Shame, X-Men: First Class) and Guy Pearce (Memento, L.A. Confidential). This movie is a must see for fans of sci-fi and critics are calling it a visually striking sci-fi epic. Still trying to get back to their zoo in New York City, Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Gloria the Hippo and Melman the Giraffe find themselves travelling through Europe in Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted. Dependent on the mechanical know-how of the notorious chimpanzees and penguins, their plan to return to the Big Apple goes awry and they find themselves in Monte Carlo where they have to
escape from animal control. Of course, King Julien and Maurice are along for the comic adventure in which they find the perfect cover—a travelling circus in which they befriend even more outrageous animals. Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Jada Pinkett Smith, David Schwimmer and Sacha Baron Cohen all return as the voices of their respective characters.

Not every member of West Kelowna council likes Federation of Canadian Municipalities conferences. But one councillor certainly does. From June 1 to 4, Coun. Carol Zanon represented the Westside at FCM’s 75th annual conference and trade show in Saskatoon. In January, West Kelowna council debated whether or not to send a representative to this year’s FCM. During that discussion, Mayor Doug Findlater said that he wasn’t impressed when he attended the conference in Whistler a few years ago. “Since then others have gone…I haven’t found anything that’s come back particularly illuminating and valuable to the district,” Findlater said in January. But Zanon was quick to argue that FCM offers municipalities a direct mechanism for a relationship with the federal government. After attending the 2012 conference, her Carol Zanon mind hasn’t changed. “I am a citizen of West Kelowna and B.C., but above all, I’m Canadian and I want to be part of the national scene, not just the local.” “It’s a healthy debate with the mayor…he has his nose to the grindstone all the time with pertinent issues; it’s up to the rest of us to bring forward some different ideas and put them into the mix.” She admitted that not every topic of discussion at the 2012 conference was pertinent to West Kelowna; however, she noted issues such as the long-term infrastructure plan will definitely affect the district. “Last year at FCM, (Transport, Infrastructure and Communities) Minister Denis Lebel said that he was going to roll up his sleeves and go to work and get onto a new program that would take over after the Building Canada Fund (an $8.8-billion fund addressing infrastructure priorities) was finished” in 2014. “This time he set a time limit on it. He said that there would be nine roundtables held across Canada and he wanted to hear from all stakeholders. He will be delivering a report to Minister (Jim) Flaherty before the end of this year.” Zanon said that in addition to attending talks and workshops, she took part in two study tours. “I walked all around the city of Saskatoon for about two-and-ahalf hours on a guided tour and was exposed to some really fascinating concepts. I’ve always been interested in fostering the interests of our business community toward having a business improvement area. (In Saskatoon) they call it a business improvement district. (I got) some pretty good ideas from how they do things there.”

WESTSIDE ▼ RECORDING INJURY SYMPTOMS
Keeping a journal can be valuable in a civil litigation F ‘‘
irst off, thank you to the reader who proposed a driver safety topic about driving while wearing flip-flops. My friends are accusing me of sounding preachy again, so I am going to try to leave the driver safety topic alone for a bit. I invite you, and others with driver safety ideas, to perhaps send in a letter to the editor. By the way, if you missed my wife’s letter to the editor in response to my column two weeks ago, that’s just as well! This week, I have important tactical advice about pursuing a legal claim for fair compensation for an injury. I have written previously with the advice that
ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott you keep a journal or diary recording your symptoms, as well as how those symptoms are impacting in a very real, practical way, on your day-to-day life. There are two key reasons for doing so. If you wish, e-mail me and I will send you links to those previous columns. I have also warned against using social media as a form of journal or diary, such as posting how you are feeling on Face-
book or Twitter. I can send you a link to that column as well. The problem in a nutshell is that those postings can be used unfairly against you. Of course, we read earlier this year about the Williams Lake man who boasted on facebook about committing a fraud against ICBC, leading to his conviction. I encourage that kind of posting. If you’re the kind of loathsome person to commit a fraud, please brag about it publicly. Journal or diary notes can be used unfairly against you, just like social media postings. It takes energy and time to make regular diary notes. It can also be depress-

ing, continually reminding yourself about how your life is different from how it had been before a crash. Those factors lead most people to make the bare minimum of notations necessary to refresh their memory down the road in order to prove their losses and achieve fair compensation. If a defending insurance company gets their hands on your diary or journal, they will exploit the lack of comprehensive journal entries. For example, if you note a severe headache on one day, but not on other days, they will use your journal to try to prove that you did not have a headache on those other days. Unlike a publicly
posted notation on Facebook or Twitter, though, you can protect your journal from being mined by the defending insurance company to their unfair advantage. Journal entries made for the purpose of prosecuting your claim in a lawsuit are protected by a confidentiality that will entitle you to keep the journal private. You will be able to use it fairly to refresh your memory, but the insurance company will not be able to use it for unfair purposes. Many people start keeping a journal or diary about injuries and life impacts instinctively, or because a friend or family member has heard that. Whatever the reason,
For the record In the Thursday, May 31, edition of Capital News, a story (Lakeview Residents Urged to Attend Forum) stated that there will be an important Lakeview Heights public forum organized by the District of West Kelowna on Tuesday, June 12. The event is a Lakeview Heights Community Association meeting—not a district public forum.

it is a good idea. Perhaps a journal might be kept with the purpose of showing it to the insurance adjuster to help with negotiating the claim.

Journals kept for those reasons will not be protected. If you have already started a journal for some reason or purpose other than to prosecute your claim in a lawsuit, I recommend that you start a new one with that new purpose in mind. To make your purpose clear, write something like the following at the top of the first page of that new diary: “I am keeping this journal on the legal advice of a lawyer for the purpose of prosecuting my claim in a lawsuit.” This column is intended to provide general information about injury claims.

“We appreciate the support and patience of our customers on the almost 250 properties connected to the Westshore system over the past two weeks. “We encourage them to continue practicing good indoor and outdoor water conservation efforts.” Smith also reminded customers of the regional district’s five operating water systems that, unless otherwise noted between June 16 and Sept. 15 each year, stage two outdoor irrigation restrictions are in place, which allow twice weekly outdoor watering, based on odd or even street address numbers.
